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

V persuaded softly.

Vera shook her head: "I want to stay with you for a while and deepen our relationship."

This is so straightforward, I can't do V anymore.

We are all on the same team, and I can't say I don't welcome her for giving such a reason...

V was in a dilemma and turned to look at Leo, motioning him to come forward.

Leo pondered the meaning of Vera's words and walked briskly to the sofa.

He originally wanted to sit between V and Vera and enjoy the joy of being double-teamed by two Vs.

But the sight from the left was too irritating, so he had to choose to sit on V's left side, with her in the middle.

V was pleased with his tact and gently put her arm around his, silently asserting her sovereignty.

Vera smiled gently, not getting angry at her little "provocation".

"After what happened to Jack today, I suddenly realized that I have been in this team for three days, but I don't think I have had a good chat with you guys. Let's take advantage of the time tonight to get to know each other better, shall we?"

As a veteran lone wolf, V was not used to this request. "What do you mean? Like those schoolgirls, we should exchange our favorite colors, unique hobbies, or the Mewtwo stars we're chasing?"

"No, that's too deliberate. Just chat casually, anything is fine. Family members need to communicate more to avoid misunderstandings and enhance relationships."

"Family...well, we are actually teammates. As we spend more time together, we will naturally develop feelings for each other."

V subconsciously denied her "family theory" because it sounded too weird. She and Leo were obviously family, so why did Vera have to get involved...

Vera shook her head. “A good team is like a big family without blood ties, just like the Mann team we met today. How about it? Do you want to hear what the wanderers who grew up in a group think of their team?”

Leo and V's curiosity was aroused by her and they nodded together.

Vera crossed one leg and leaned gracefully on the sofa:

"In my opinion, Team Mann is a rare team with a family atmosphere. Mann and Dolio are like the father and mother, while Pyrrha and Rebecca act as the older brother and younger sister. Even Qiwei, who is wary of everyone, is attracted by this atmosphere and is trying to fit in.

This kind of team is really rare, and as long as nothing unexpected happens, they may become a real family in the future who are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other."

V nodded hesitantly. With her amazing intuition, she could sense a deep bond with that team that was different from that of ordinary mercenary teams.

"So... where is our team?"

Vera's smile grew even brighter, as if she was waiting for this question: "Of course our team also has a family atmosphere. Jack is trying hard to be a reliable brother. You and Leo are the pillars of this family, and Sasha is more like a lovely sister."

"What about you?" V realized that she didn't mention herself.

Vera's eyes were dazed for a while, and the maternal glow became stronger: "I feel that I can be the matriarch of this family, coordinate the relationship between everyone, and build a warm family together."

V's eyes glazed over: "You mean... you want to be my mother??"

"The matriarch doesn't have to be the mother. She can also be the grandmother or an honorific title. Of course, if you want—"

"I don't want to!" V refused loudly, "Just be a member of the family, don't just give yourself a higher generation status!"

Vera sighed, but didn't seem very disappointed.

V was afraid that she would say something weird again, so he quickly looked for reinforcements: "Leo, what do you think?"

Leo thought...it was okay, it was just an honorary title anyway, what was the big deal about calling Vera mother?

He made a few vague remarks, expressing his support for Vera's family theory.

V looked to the left and then to the right, and suddenly regretted leaving Vera behind.

Instead of being a good teammate, Vera insisted on becoming a family member. Why did she feel so awkward...

Vera looked at the fidgeting V and used her child-coaxing skills again: "V, have you heard of killer whales?"

"An extinct animal. I've seen it in documentaries."

“Yes, killer whales are extinct, but their ecology is very interesting. When I was a kid, I found some documentaries about killer whales in a recycling station. I watched them once and was fascinated.

Killer whales live in a matriarchal society, with the family led by an elderly grandmother. The grandmother has rich life experience and leads the group of whales on long-distance migrations between the cold polar regions and the warm equatorial regions every year to find food and raise the offspring of the family. Just like a wanderer..."

Vera started telling stories again, and the effect on V was extraordinary!

Even Leo silently lowered the volume of the TV, enjoying being surrounded by gentle voices.

Before she knew it, it was nine o'clock. Vera finished telling a story about a group of whales and quietly left.

After a while, V blinked his eyes and broke free from the state of being controlled.

But in her mind, she felt that the ecology of killer whales really made her envious - female killer whales are the leaders of the group, and male killer whales are "mama's boys", and they will never be separated unless death comes.

Thinking of this, she looked at Leo.

Leo shook his head frantically: "Vera is more or less like a mother, so forget it. There is no mother who beats her child every day...Ah——!"

God's Iron Fist descended quickly and suppressed the sharp voice.

After playing around for a while, V rode on Leo's back, with a thoughtful look on his face: "Come to think of it, the medical equipment and drones you bought today are actually going to be put into the subspace, right?"

Chapter 178: I have established a firm bond with Vivian and there is no turning back

Leo was pressed down on the sofa by her, and after struggling in vain, he quickly lay down.

As the saying goes: Life is like rape, if you can't resist, you have to learn to enjoy it.

This heavy and solid feeling doesn’t feel bad at all!

He simply closed his eyes and replied lazily, "Not only the medical equipment and drones, but also the hacker chair and some of the goods that haven't arrived yet need to be put into the subspace so that I can use them at any time."

"That's not bad. If you can conjure up a few armed drones at any time, then ordinary gang members and mercenaries won't be a threat to you."

V agreed wholeheartedly, as she had always been worried about Leo's weakness.

In particular, his subspace is mysterious, and it seems that it is not just a place to store items.

Thinking back to the box of extinct ingredients he had taken out, V's intuition vaguely guessed something.

After pondering for a long time, she slowly leaned over and lay on Leo's back.

"What was the secret you wanted to tell me that time?"

When Leo felt the change in center of gravity behind him, he had already focused his attention. When he heard these words, he instantly realized that the opportunity he had missed was back!

His closed eyes suddenly opened: "Are you willing to listen now?"

V slowly approached and put her face against his: "Since the relationship has been confirmed, I will listen to it. This way, no matter what happens in the future, I can be mentally prepared."

Feeling the warmth on his face, Leo took a deep breath and started with a question: "V, have you heard of parallel universes?"

V was slightly stunned: "This kind of plot is broadcast on TV every day, everyone should know it..."

"That explains it. In addition to the storage function, my subspace also has the function of traveling to parallel universes. These supplies are what I bought from another Earth."

After the words fell, V froze for a long time.

She heard what was said clearly and could understand it, but... her brain just didn't accept it.

Traveling to a parallel universe is a common theme in movies and Mewtwo. Similar themes include time travel, outer space exploration, and rebirth with memories.

But if someone really says that he can do it, everyone will just laugh and advise him to take less drugs.

But the things Leo brought back were indeed... weird.

Yes,

Very strange...

If something that no longer exists on Earth reappears, we can only speculate on its origins from the perspective of metaphysics and magic.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Leo shook his body twice to wake her up: "It does sound incredible, but it's true. I also brought back some information about that world and sent it to you. Remember to delete it after reading it."

He asked Chunbai to send V a short documentary about the earth, which talked about the changes in the natural environment in 2010.

When the vibrant earth appeared in his retina, V's consciousness was completely immersed in it.

The documentary is only seven minutes long, but V was silent for twice that long.

After a long time, she spoke: "Is this the other side of the world? It's so beautiful, the sky is still blue, there are all kinds of small animals everywhere, and there are tropical rainforests. I think those cities are also very beautiful, unlike Night City, which is full of scars..."

Leo nodded quietly.

"Then... why don't you stay there?" V suddenly became nervous, trying his best to sense his emotional changes.

"Because you are here."

Leo's answer earned him a kiss from V.

But she couldn't help but ask, "It shouldn't just be because of this, right?"

Leo thought about it and told the truth:

"My relatives and friends are all here, which is an important reason why I like it here more. Another important reason is that I am a vulgar person -

I just like money, power, strength, and eternal life."

“The world on the other side is very dangerous. There are things like magic and superpowers that are beyond our control. It’s very difficult for ordinary people to make a name for themselves there.

Night City is still better, at least everyone relies on prosthetics and weapons to fight, strictly abides by scientific laws, and the gap between people is not so big that it exceeds the species."

He briefly introduced Superman, the Flash, Green Lantern and other DC superheroes to V, leaving her stunned.

Those incredible superheroes, it feels like any one of them could destroy the Earth in 2076...

The pride and complacency that V had felt from installing Sianwestin quickly cooled, and a strong sense of uneasiness even made her shiver.

"The world over there is too dangerous. It feels like the end of the world could come at any time. Otherwise... you should not go there. Let's develop peacefully here... ok?"

Leo smiled bitterly: "My subspace technology is not yet mature. I have to go to another world to recharge every once in a while. I can't avoid it even if I want to."

V suddenly understood... why he had an indispellable sense of urgency since they first met, as if something was chasing him.

This ability is both a blessing and a curse. He must keep running to gain enough strength to protect himself before unknown changes occur.

Now, this sense of urgency has also been passed on to her...

V's arms suddenly tightened, making it hard for Leo to breathe.

Even without his super intuition, Leo could feel the uneasiness coming from her.

Just like she said herself - she would be afraid...

Leo turned over with difficulty and hugged V into his arms: "Don't be afraid, V, think about it, everything is moving in a good direction now. I have already established a firm foothold in both worlds. In the future, I can completely rely on the advantages of traveling between the two worlds, combine the technology and power of the two worlds, and change these two worlds.

Relatively speaking, Night City is already a novice village. I will spend most of my time here, by your side. I've said before, I'm scary as hell, and I won't mess around."

V buried his head deep in his arms, seeking a moment of peace like an ostrich.

Then she pulled herself together again with her strong will.

"I understand. I have to become even stronger so that I can protect you!...By the way, can't you bring people with you into your subspace?"

"At present, we can't bring any living creatures with us. Maybe we can do it in the future."

"Then you should bring more armed drones, combat robots, etc. As long as you set the instructions in advance, the mechanical army can deal with most enemies."

Leo agreed with her idea, but there was a problem: "My space is limited, most of it has to be used to carry goods. And... I don't want to fight those monsters at all. I don't see any chance of winning at the moment. I'd better be a legal citizen over there and run a company to make money."

V breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time, she felt that it was good to be a little timid. At least, she wouldn't commit suicide...

After hugging for a while, V stood up and pulled Leo up with him.

"The world over there is too dangerous. I will increase the intensity of your training and train you into a qualified warrior as soon as possible. For our bright future, you must also give it your all!"

Leo nodded vigorously, put on his protective gear, and participated in the training.

First Show of Talent: Chapter 179 Leo: "Oh, woman..."

Training item one: combat training.

He fought hand-to-hand with V, the top stream-of-consciousness player in Night City, practicing attack and defense techniques with punch and kick. Sweat soon soaked his clothes, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Training item two: anaerobic training.

Leo struggled hard between the heavy machines, challenging his own limits with every weightlifting. The heavy breathing and burning pain in his muscles made his body transform in pain.

The newly added training project three uses the intelligent weapon training chip provided by Kangtao to deeply explore the mysteries of intelligent weapons.

It’s still the same old rules. Chunbai goes in first to explore the way. After mastering all the techniques, he kicks out the instructor sent by Kangtao and teaches Leo himself.

The training officially begins.
