From Gotham to Night City, my notoriety is known to everyone

"Leo." Leo reminded kindly.

"Oh, yes, look at me, my mind is a little confused after taking the medicine."

Jack showed his medicine box, which also had a blue lid and should contain painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Misty put away the tarot cards, chatted with Jack for a few words, and led him to Leo.

“See you again…mano (brother)!”

"Uh, me too, mano, I didn't expect you knew Spanish."

“You always have to learn a few more things when you go out.”

Leo teased Jack with a Spanish word, and what's even better is that he learned it from Jack in his "previous life".

The local dialect seemed to bring the two closer together. Jack looked at him and asked in a friendly manner, "I heard from Misty that you need some help?"

"Yes, I need a safe place to stay and a reliable bodyguard who can protect my life. Oh, and most importantly...if you don't let me eat, I'll starve to death."

"We need to talk about the first two items, but eating is simple. There's a small market just turn left when you go out the door."

"I know. I just passed by there."

"Then let's go, mano, and have some midnight snack." Jack turned to look at Misty, "Want to come with me?"

"I'm not like you. I have to stay in shape."

Misty declined.

Jack shrugged, patted Leo on the arm, and led him out, "Follow closely, there are all kinds of people over there, and a white-skinned corporate dog like you... uh, sorry, I mean a respectable person, it's easy to be targeted over there.

But don't worry, I've got you covered!"

"Okay."

Leo followed him out happily.

The two returned to the small market.

Snack stalls, grocery stalls, and some small stalls that are characteristic of the times but that Leo cannot understand are all gathered in this small open-air square.

Even near eight o'clock in the evening, citizens were still coming and going in the interconnected alleys.

Nobody: Chapter 15: The legendary life begins now!

"what do you want to eat?"

“Hometown food…if there is any.”

Leo looked at several gang members in the distance who had "evil ghost" tattoos on their arms, and tried hard to suppress the urge to frown.

Jack stood in front of him, using his strong body to block passers-by from looking at him.

"Those guys are from the Tiger Claws, one of the most powerful gangs in Night City. They control large tracts of land throughout Westbrook and Watson.

If you don’t want to get in trouble, don’t stare at these gang members.”

"My fault."

Leo obediently shifted his gaze and began to observe the trembling passers-by.

This time Jack didn't say anything, because the passers-by were also staring at Leo, and the two sides were arguing.

"Come with me, I know a stand that sells Asian food."

The two walked through the bustling streets and came to a food stall with red lanterns hanging on it.

"Dark Night Street Bar..."

There was Chinese writing on the lantern, and Leo guessed it meant izakaya.

"Jack...I don't look Japanese, do I?"

Jack turned his head and looked at him. "Of course you don't. You are very different from those people in Japanese Street. But except for this restaurant which serves Asian food, all the others are Western food, such as hamburgers, fries and so on."

"That's fine."

Leo didn't worry too much. He saw dumplings, sushi, fried noodles and other foods in the glass display case, and his stomach started to growl.

The two found a place to sit down. Jack asked him to sit on the outermost side, while he sat on the inner side to separate Leo from the curious passers-by.

"You can order whatever you want. It's the first time I'm dining with new friends, and according to Heywood tradition, I, the older one, have to pay."

Since he said so, Leo certainly wouldn't be polite.

"Okay, do you have any recommendations? Pick me something delicious."

"Delicious... Hmm, how about fried noodles?" Jack pointed at the model in the display case, "Noodles, synthetic sirloin beef, and more chili, it's exactly the same as my mom's best Mexican noodle soup."

"I agree."

"Boss, give me two large portions of fried noodles, with more chili!"

After ordering, the Japanese chef with a white cloth tied on his head began to cook.

The oil pan sizzled and a rich aroma quickly spread.

The hunger in Leo's stomach intensified countless times. If Jack hadn't taken the initiative to talk to him, his eyeballs would have fallen into the iron pot.

"Since we have nothing to do, let's talk about you, mano. What brought you all the way to Night City?"

Leo looked away with difficulty, trying not to think about the tempting aroma that entered his nose: "I'm here to study abroad. I want to go to Arasaka Academy."

"Arasaka Academy... Damn, that's awesome, bro. I heard Arasaka Academy is located in the City Center of Night City, right next to the City Hall. It's a really good place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money."

Not only Jack, but even the chef couldn't help but glance over here.

"It sounds pretty impressive. Have you been there?" Leo asked curiously.

"I haven't been there. I don't like that place." Jack shook his head and used his eyes to remind him to stop talking. "Boss, two bottles of soda."

Leo also got a bottle. He opened the ring of the can and a pungent orange smell hit him in the face.

Take a sip...

Depend on,

It's a combination of technology and hard work, and it's so sweet that it makes your throat choke.

The two knew that there were too many people here, so they didn't continue chatting.

After a few minutes, the steaming fried noodles were served.

The soy sauce-colored noodles were sprinkled with a little chopped green onions, and there was quite a bit of beef in them.

Leo blew on it twice and couldn't wait to take a big bite.

First impression - the noodles were delicious.

Second impression – the meat wasn’t right, the taste and smell weren’t right.

I picked up a piece and looked carefully. This "sirloin beef" was pink and had a very uniform texture, without any of the fat and lean texture of real meat.

Synthetic Sirloin Beef...

Leo thought about what Jack said and silently stuffed the meat into his mouth.

This is what the lower class in Night City eat.

But at least they had hot meals, which was much better than those people squatting in the corner, eating protein bars and instant burritos.

After quickly filling his stomach, Jack paid 10 euros for the meal and took him back to Misty's shop.

"Lao Wei asked you to go back again. I'll wait for you here."

Leo nodded and did not disturb his good brother and his wife from communicating.

Back at the underground clinic, Lao Wei quickly checked his condition and said:

"Your observation period is over, and you seem to be fine. If you don't feel any discomfort within seven days, you don't need to come.

Before you leave, let’s add each other’s contact information and talk about what to do with your eyes.”

The two added each other as contacts via the wireless network, and Leo discovered at a glance that there was already a name in his contact list - Chunbai!

He was excited, but now he had something else to talk about: "What do you mean by my eyes? Aren't they replaced?"

Lao Wei waved his hand and took him into the operating room at the back. He picked up a glass jar filled with liquid and said, "Your artificial eyes have been replaced. I'm talking about the original pair."

"Uh……"

Leo looked at his two "original eyeballs" floating up and down in the liquid of unknown origin, and felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

"Is this replaced eye still useful?"

Lao Wei looked at him in surprise and said, "Of course it is useful. If your prosthetic eye has compatibility issues, or you suffer from cyberpsychosis and need to remove all prosthetics, you will have to put the original organs back.

Of course, you can pretend to be someone else, but it’s not as good as the original.”

Leo... was deeply shocked.

Lao Wei smiled and continued, "Or you can sell this pair of eyes. Didn't I tell you that your organs are valuable? This pair of eyes should be able to sell for 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, which is more valuable than the prosthetic body you replaced it with."

"Oh my god..." Leo was stunned. "I didn't know I was so valuable. If I replace all the organs that can be replaced with prosthetics and sell them, wouldn't I be able to make a profit?"

"Yes, but the price is that you will develop cyberpsychosis within a week and die at the hands of the NCPD or the Terrorist Squad."

Joking aside, after the incident Leo still asked about the proper way to deal with it.

"You can leave the replaced organs with me. With my storage conditions, you don't have to worry about them going bad for at least ten years."

“Do I have to pay for storage?”

"No, if you die someday, I can make a fortune just by selling your organs."

Lao Wei made a few jokes in a humorous tone.

Leo felt relieved and decided to keep the organs with Lao Wei.

Cyber daddy, you are trustworthy!

"Okay, nothing else to say. I heard from Misty that you haven't found a place to stay yet, so go find one quickly. The hotel next to my clinic isn't suitable for a rich person like you."

"Then I'm leaving, Lao Wei. See you in a few days."

Back at Misty's shop, he called Jack, and the two of them officially entered Night City with Misty's farewell.

'The legendary life begins now! '

In his heart, Leo cheered for himself, his good brother Jack, and V Zhentian who was hiding somewhere unknown!

Nobody: Chapter 16: A New Home in Night City

"Get in the car, mano!"

Jack patted the car door generously and got into the silver-gray sedan.

Leo sat in the passenger seat and looked at this cyber-age car curiously - compared with the family cars of 50 years ago, many high-tech elements were added to the dashboard of this car, and only some shadows of the old era could be vaguely seen.

The edges of the windows are inlaid with chrome decorations that are a bit outdated, but at certain angles, you can still catch a trace of its former glory. The seats are made of synthetic leather, and after the baptism of time, the surface is slightly worn, but it also adds a bit of warm human touch.

"It's a nice car, with a bit of retro charm."

"Vintage?" Jack grinned. "I think it's an antique. This is my mom's car, it's more than ten years old, I borrowed it to drive."

Jack opened the navigation system skillfully and did not rush to set off: "Tell me, brother, where are you going? The Blue Bi Building?"

"I can't afford it." Leo quickly took over the conversation, "Please help me find an affordable place to stay first. Safety is the most important thing, and other conditions can be put aside later."

“Affordable and safe…”

Jack thought about it.

"Leo, let me be frank. There is no absolutely safe place in Night City. Relatively safe places also vary from person to person. For example, you—"

He looked over and shook his head slightly.

"You look like a well-off, respectable person from a wealthy family, and... not very good at fighting. In the eyes of gang members, you are the type who can be easily exploited."

"There's an affordable super building nearby, nicknamed 'Ant Nest'. You can see it when you get to the main road. Apple folks and some mercenaries who can make a little money like to live there. Every day... every week there are always some minor accidents, and a few people die. Do you think you can live there?"

Leo smiled bitterly, he felt he couldn't.

That was V Zhentian’s initial residence. How could he dare to live in a place where people died every day?
