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

He slowly approached and sniffed V's body carefully as his fists began to crack.

"Do you want to be beaten?" V threatened with violence.

Leo, however, sensed that she was ruthless and he seemed to know what it felt like.

It’s the smell of hormones!

It seems that V is also feeling very uncomfortable...

Hesitantly, he stretched out his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and raised it in front of V: "Do you need my help? This is my way of repaying you... Aaaaaa——!"

"I was wrong! I was wrong! Lady, spare me! My finger is broken! My finger is about to break!!"

In just a dozen seconds, Leo's two fingers were almost crushed by V, and they still felt swollen and painful after being released.

V's pretty face turned red with anger and she stood up suddenly.

"You either make physical advances or say such nasty things. I don't want to stay with you anymore. I'm going to take a shower..."

"Wait, wait a minute."

Leo quickly stopped her, took out a few barrels of mineral water from the space, and said in a friendly manner: "The TV just said that the water source in Night City is not very clean. You can use this water. I remember that the water heater in the bathroom has a manual water changing function."

"Bathing with drinking water... isn't that a luxury?"

"It's okay, the water is a few euros a bucket, use as much as you want!"

Leo waved his hand generously and took the initiative to help her bring the water back to the small room.

Afterwards, he was driven out by V, who disagreed with "saving water and taking a bath together".

"Alas... the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard..."

Leo strolled to the window and looked out. The pedestrians on the street were dressed in strange clothes and looked gorgeous, but he always felt that something was missing.

what is it then……

His eyes swept across the streets, pedestrians, and buildings again and again... Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he realized what was missing here - green, or plants.

The greenery in Night City is really bad. No wonder my eyes get tired after looking outside for a long time...

First appearance: Chapter 160: Is there something wrong with doing environmental protection in the cyberpunk world?

The sun was setting in the west, and the chill of early spring filled the breeze.

Leo was immersed in his own thoughts and ignored the changes in time in the outside world.

I don't know when,

A warm embrace wrapped him tightly, bringing his consciousness back to reality.

When he looked down, he saw a pair of arms wrapped around his waist, and then V's small chin rested gently on his shoulder.

"What are you thinking about? Even if I didn't ask you to come, you wouldn't have to stand here for more than an hour, right?"

Leo withdrew his gaze from the distant street and blinked slowly: "More than an hour?"

"Yes, I took a shower and disassembled the gun according to the instructions to familiarize myself with its structure. I also did some maintenance on the gun. When I came out after I was done, I saw you standing here motionless."

"Really..." Leo shook his head vigorously to clear his mind, "I'm thinking about something, about the green of all things."

"The green of everything? What is that?"

V tried hard to think about this strange term, but couldn't find any clues.

Leo held her hand, stroked the skin on the back of her hand, and said softly: "That is a concept, a manifestation of all the power of plant elements in the universe. Like the red of all living things, the black of decay and other elements, they are all part of the elemental system.

The Green of All Things can give life to all plants and control them, thus maintaining the balance of nature."

The tenderness on V's face gradually dulled. She understood every word, but when they were put together, she couldn't understand them at all. The only thought left was - what a mess.

"You should talk to Misty about this. She likes these metaphysical things. Last time we talked in her shop, she said something weird like 'rubbing your hands together to create light'..."

Leo didn't blame her IQ this time, because this is the mysterious power of the DC world, and it is normal for people in the cyberpunk world not to understand it.

“The green of all things is a mysterious natural force that you can simply understand as magic.”

"But magic doesn't exist..."

"It doesn't exist here, but it exists somewhere else." Leo said carefully, "I was thinking, it would be great if I could ask the spokesperson for the green of all things to help develop a plant that can improve the natural environment and purify water sources."

V wanted to deny his fantasy, but her intuition told her that what he said now was serious.

Is there really magic in this world...?

Leo looked into the distance and could barely see a hint of green at the end of the street. It was one of the only few plants that could be seen on the roadside in Night City - a palm tree.

The world's natural environment is deteriorating. Even though the situation of plants is much better than that of animals, they are still declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In such a world, engaging in environmentalism and using this as a starting point to slowly enter the public eye is definitely a relatively safe option.

He organized his words and told his beloved girlfriend his thoughts:

"V, didn't I say I wanted to start a company? I thought about it and realized that all major fields are now monopolized by large companies. If we compete head-on with them, the risk will be too high to bear. In this case, why not find another way and go into a field that no company has yet entered - environmental protection."

“What the hell?” V tilted his head.

"Environmental protection, environmental protection, make the world greener, and save the homeland on which mankind depends for survival!"

"..."

V touched his forehead worriedly, and found no abnormal temperature.

"Are you suffering from heatstroke? What nonsense are you talking about?" She began to use force in her arms to drag Leo back, "Come and sit on the sofa. I'll pour you a glass of water."

Leo was grateful for her kindness, but he knew he was sober now.

To prove this, he probed his consciousness into the singularity space, looking for a product that had not been taken out.

After searching for a long time, he found a whole box of bottled honey in the corner where the ingredients were kept.

He hasn't removed the label of this product yet and hasn't figured out how to explain its origin.

Now that V is considered tied to his chariot, it's time to give her a little shock of otherworldly goods!

"V, use this to make water. Remember to use warm water. Water that is too hot will destroy the nutrients."

He pressed an amber plastic can into V's hands.

"Is this... honey?" V played with the jar. "I've heard of this. It's said to be very expensive. Only people above the middle class can afford it."

Leo shook his head: "This is natural honey, not synthetic."

"How is that possible? The bees are extinct... er..."

V suddenly thought of the box of damn food he once took out, which was almost entirely made up of extinct species.

It doesn’t seem like a big deal to take out real honey now…right?

In a trance, V went to make a pot of honey water, and he finally tasted the legendary honey - not sweet enough, but with a pleasant smell, like the fragrance of some flower.

Leo took a few sips of water to moisten his throat and continued to express his thoughts.

V assumed that he could really come up with that magical plant, but raised another question: "Most of the arable land in the world is planted with alcohol-2 wheat, and the company will not give you land to grow plants."

This is indeed a problem, but Leo has a solution:

"For the first environmentally friendly plant, I prefer aquatic algae, preferably those that have strong anti-pollution capabilities and can purify harmful substances, or at least absorb them. Companies will not give up good land, but they will not be stingy with sewage rivers and lakes that are already seriously polluted and even fish cannot survive."

"Well... maybe. But can this really make money? Who would buy this plant? After you sell it, other companies can directly cultivate it, and it will become their product, right?"

“Right, so I’m going to open source it directly!”

"I will make the seeds and cultivation techniques of this plant public on the Internet, so that companies and even people around the world can easily get the seeds. This process may not make much money, but it will bring a lot of fame and help my company stand on the moral high ground."

"Afterwards, we will raise funds from major companies and the public in the name of continuing to research new products. Perhaps we can also cooperate with other companies to enter the plant field together."

Leo's impromptu speech confused the only listener. V's brain was working at high speed, but soon it came to a halt due to excessive computing power.

"If you say so, it's fine..."

V gave up thinking, drank the expensive honey water in the cup in one gulp, and stood up slowly.

Now that it’s over… let’s make dinner first.

Leo did not give up thinking just because his audience disappeared. He felt that there would be no loss even if the plan failed.

And he just knew where to find a collaborator who knew both botany and the green power of all things.

Poison Ivy!

The last time he went to Gotham, he checked the movements of the super villains and learned that this "extreme environmentalist" was imprisoned in Arkham Asylum.

As long as he can get Batman's consent, he can get access to this top botanist...

First appearance: Chapter 161 Dead Man's Lotto× Dead Man's Lotto√

Time always passes quickly when you are lost in thought.

When Leo came to his senses again, Sasha and Vera were already placing dishes on the table.

I don't know when it started, but the members of the Eternal Life Team have developed the habit of eating together.

He thought of Pure White again... no, the promise made to him by Saint Pure Gate, that he would also give him Sasha and Vera.

As he thought about this, his eyes began to drift towards the two ladies.

Vera needs no introduction, she is the blonde Madonna version of V, exuding a maternal glow that makes people want to call her mom! I think her embrace must be very warm!

Sasha is also very good. She is a cat girl who likes cat elements. I will put a pair of cat ears on her, press her on the bed, and let her meow!

[Junmen! You promised me! ]

[Don't worry, it will take time for me to fool Sasha, and the opportunity will come soon.]

When V's figure appeared in his sight, Leo forced himself to interrupt the beautiful fantasy in his mind and tried to focus on the TV.

【Good evening, Night City! 】

【Welcome to the evening rerun of Dead Man's Lotto. Let's skip the clichés and get straight to the point! 】

【Yesterday's death toll was 31.】

[Here is a little story that is not true - it is said that a madman who bet thirty people ran to the street in the middle of the night, just to kill one more person, so that the record of twenty-nine people could be increased by one. He succeeded, but he was then shot dead by a brave NCPD police officer, so the number became thirty-one. If you lose money because of this, don't go to the wrong person! ]

The TV started playing a real-game demonstration of a shooting game again. A macho man holding a Gatling gun was killing people in all directions. Broken limbs and body parts were scattered all over the ground, and blood was sprayed everywhere.

But the background music is very exciting, without any sad atmosphere at all.

The male host, who calls himself Best Buddy Stan, has an amazing show, stirring up the audience's emotions with his slightly exaggerated tone.

[Originally, there should be a dead person commentary session after this, but I know - you guys definitely don't want to listen! ]

[Yes! Me too! Today, the NCPD officers gave everyone a big one, a total of 304 people! And that doesn’t include the number of other unnatural deaths! ]

[What will be the death toll tomorrow morning? Even I am curious! Dear gamblers, what are you waiting for? Buy a bet and have fun together! 】

There were huge fireworks exploding on TV, and if you didn’t know, you would think it was some great event that was being celebrated by everyone.

Leo's mouth twitched as he watched, but out of the corner of his eye he saw V's prosthetic eye light up.

"V...you're not really going to place a bet, are you?"

V looked at the TV and nodded vigorously: "Of course! I bought one bet for 10 euros. There are 16 of me in it, so I have to participate!"

Leo was relieved to hear that she only spent 10 euros instead of all in.

He was really afraid that V would like gambling or something like that, which was something he shouldn't touch.

"According to what you said, there is still a head of mine here, so I will buy one too!"

Led by these two, Vera and Sasha, who also "carried lives", joined in the fun.

When choosing the number of people to participate in the dead lottery, he suddenly had an idea and turned to the external brain -

[Pure White, help me cheat! ]

[Take a break. The Dead Man's Lotto statistics are closed at 6am and may change at any time. Besides, the lottery is not a pure IQ tax. The official will first look at the betting results, and then choose the number with the least number of guesses or even no one guessed it. How can you win? ]

【Ah this...】

Leo was stupid and just picked 335 people at random.

In fact, it is just the sum of yesterday’s death toll and the number announced by NCPD.
