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

The style of this car is too much in line with his taste. If it is not specially customized for him, then there is another possibility -

Could it be that the world Leo is in is more than sixty years later than this world?

Is this the Batmobile left behind by my parallel world self?

After checking, he rejected this guess in his mind.

There is no other reason. Apart from looking good, this car has very weak functionality.

Although it used a lot of mysterious and powerful high-tech, its most important bulletproof and explosion-proof functions were very poor, almost the same level as his current Batmobile.

Considering the 60-year technological gap, he didn't think he would have been able to make such a flashy luxury car at that time.

Seeing him stop, Leo used the electronic controller to open the car door.

After Batman sat in the passenger seat, he was very interested in the fully enclosed interior layout of the car.

Facing the rich man's questions, Leo's attitude was completely different. He opened the information he had found in advance and introduced the various functions of the car while driving.

The most intuitive and eye-catching of these is the "Crystal Ball Panoramic Imaging" system. With the support of this technology, the outside environment will be displayed in real time inside the car, which not only fully protects the driver's privacy, but also brings passengers a breathtaking travel experience.

"...Of course, more bulletproof steel plates can be added to the exterior to further enhance the defensive performance."

Leo knew what Batman cared about most, so he focused all the functions on combat performance.

In order to demonstrate the vehicle's superb performance, he turned on the Krenzikov and drove recklessly on the streets of Gotham, ignoring traffic regulations and traffic lights.

Finally, he gave the last parameter - 1660 horsepower, acceleration from 1.5 to 598.8 km/h in just seconds, and a top speed of km/h.

Comparable to a superconducting maglev train.

"If you want to fly a jet plane on flat ground, this is the right car for you! Its built-in car navigation can share some of the operating pressure, and it can completely free your hands at speeds within 120 kilometers per hour!"

Rising to Fame: Chapter 233: The Botanical Research Institute is established, the second step towards success!

Ever since Leo took out the car, Batman saw through his thoughts.

They just want to make a fortune by reselling high-tech equipment.

His attitude towards this is - fully agree.

There is no better deal than being able to use money to buy future technology!

On the way back, Batman quietly observed him driving the vehicle, trying to get as much information as possible.

After Leo reported all the parameters of the Sword in the Stone, the outline of Wayne Building appeared in the distance.

He did not rush to stop the car, but adjusted the car to automatic driving mode at 40 kilometers per hour, ready to finish the business topic first.

"These are the parameters of this car. It's a good deal to exchange it with you for the latest Batmobile and a complete set of design drawings, right?"

Batman could accept the price, but he was a little confused: "Your technology is more advanced, what do you want the Batmobile blueprint for?"

“In Night City, personality and reputation are sometimes more important than practicality. I plan to set up a production line to produce vehicles that can switch freely between tanks and motorcycles as part of our company’s external image display.”

Batman imagined the scene of Batmobiles running all over the streets, and always felt that something was weird.

But from a business perspective, this deal is still profitable. If he fully understands the technology contained in this car, his vehicle can undergo an epoch-making upgrade.

“Fine.”

No bargaining, just a simple transaction.

Just as Leo was about to flatter Party A as usual, he heard him continue, "Are you selling your drones and smart guns?"

Before he finished speaking, Leo's heart tightened. Batman really did take a fancy to these two things. His vision was really sharp.

If he really gets the drones and smart weapons, his combat effectiveness will increase exponentially, and he will be able to easily crush the members of the Batman fan club in the future.

For Leo, this is an issue that requires careful consideration.

Just as the national bank uses financial means to control inflation, he also needs to control the expansion of Batman's combat power through technological blockades.

He is a "civil war god" who has more ways to betray his teammates than his enemies. Don't create a super Batman who will betray himself...

Leo pretended to be thinking, but he was actually seeking help from his external brain.

[Pure White, I think you can sell him the drone, which is equipped with kinetic weapons. At most, you can let him steal some magnetic levitation technology and tactical AI systems. Remember to castrate the AI system you updated and restore it to the civilian version you just bought. Forget about the intelligent weapons. Just paint a big picture for him and ask him to exchange it for the alcohol-2 crops.]

[Yes, making him stronger can help maintain the law and order in Gotham City, but don't go too far, or you won't be able to suppress him in the future.]

After the two men had discussed it, Leo stated the terms of the exchange:

"I can sell you a drone in exchange for a batwing and the design drawings. Smart weapons are not available for the time being. You should be able to see that I use custom-made firearms that others cannot use at all.

Moreover, the smart guns we have over there need to be used with prosthetics. I need to get the alcohol-2 crop first and build my own company before I can try to obtain detailed information on prosthetic technology."

Batman thought about it and raised an objection: "The cost of the Batwing is 60 million US dollars, plus the blueprints, and it will cost two drones to replace it."

Leo quickly calculated: the two drones cost a total of 8 yuan, and the bat wings and drawings cost million yuan. Considering that he would need to launch "his own products" when starting a company in the future, this price is acceptable.

“Fine!”

He gets to say his lines before Batman does.

In this way, the second transaction was successfully completed.

The products we brought this time are basically sold out, with only the last topic left.

"I remember you owed me a favor."

Hearing this, Batman looked over.

Leo continued, "I'm a pragmatist and prefer efficiency, so I'll just say it straight - now that the Joker has been locked up back in Arkham Asylum, the gangster money laundering case will soon be concluded with the push of Gordon and Harvey. I need you, now, immediately, right away, to start pushing my...oh, I mean our Botanical Research Institute, so that Poison Ivy can start working as soon as possible."

He pulled out his phone and checked the time. "Considering that it's already past eight in the evening, I think starting tomorrow morning is an acceptable option."

Batman stared at him in silence, as if trying to see through his soul.

After a long while, he nodded gently: "Okay, I will vacate a research institute under the Wayne Group tomorrow, recruit suitable researchers, and arrange defensive measures. Since you think you can convince Poison Ivy, then go and try. But I have to state in advance that she is imprisoned in Arkham Asylum, and it is best for Alfu to accompany you when you go there."

"Okay, I also want to see Gotham City's famous attraction, Arkham Asylum, where so many talented people are born."

Leo recalled the names of the notorious super villains, and suddenly thought that there might be other "business opportunities" there.

Batman used up his favor, and in return Poison Ivy started working quickly.

In Leo's opinion, everything would be worth it as long as he could get the alcohol-2 crop as soon as possible.

After completing all the schedule for the day, he took over the vehicle again and drove Batman back to Wayne Building.

The two parted on the 43rd floor and Leo walked out of the elevator.

As for Batman...haha, he's about to read Rachel's breakup letter, poor guy.

Leo returned to his room with a gloating look on his face, only to find that all the medicines in his bedside table had been looted by Batman.

In return, he left more small devices to test the limits of Leo's detection ability...

After spending some time clearing away all of Batman's "gifts", Leo lay on the bed and reported to his friends that he was safe.

"Leo: I've got it done here, everything is going well!"

As soon as the message was sent, V's reply arrived.

“V: That’s good. You don’t have many combat prostheses installed right now, so try not to get involved in the battle.”

"Leo: This is a special situation. I only took action when I was absolutely sure!"

The two chatted for a few words, and the other members of the team also became active.

Jack livened up the atmosphere by telling some interesting stories he had heard from the Next Life Bar.

Vera brought the good news that the weapons workshop was completed.

Sasha launched a series of "I admire you so much" attacks at Leo, making him dizzy.

The crowd was busy until around nine o'clock, and then left one after another.

Leo learned from his friends that they would go to Lao Wei tomorrow to upgrade and add prosthetics to continue to enhance their combat effectiveness.

After carefully instructing them, Leo also felt a sense of urgency in his heart - his friends were all getting stronger, but he was the only one standing still, how could this be possible!

If he had V's fighting ability, he wouldn't have to hide indoors all the time and wouldn't dare to go out.

[Pure White, make some plans. After we finish the work at the research institute, we will take the opportunity to go to Detroit to check out the situation. If there is a chance, grab the first Mother Box as soon as possible. With that artifact, you can find a way to make me the new Cyborg! ]

[It's not a big problem. Now that our relationship with Batman has eased, we can find an excuse to travel and secretly go there to take a look. At present, I haven't seen any information about superheroes in Detroit on the Internet.]

Rise to Fame: Chapter 234: Going to Gotham City's "Talent Wholesale Center"

After discussing the action plan for the next few days, Leo took out the neural connector and asked Chunbai to transmit the key points of the knowledge learned in class to him.

Neither DC nor 2077 is a safe place. He must improve himself in all aspects and be prepared to face all challenges.

Until the early morning bell rang, he swam in the ocean of knowledge.

*

October 9, Sunday.

Leo had breakfast with the rich man after a long absence.

It can be seen that after locking the Joker back in Arkham, he was in a very good mood and his brows were relaxed.

During the meal, he asked about the situation in Night City and was pessimistic about the security situation in that city.

"Even in Gotham, gangsters are not so rampant as to block roads and sabotage, or even openly engage in firefights with the police. Not to mention that your cybernetics are too advanced, and any criminal can cause great damage."

Leo knew that he must have watched "Dead Man's Lottery" to have such feelings.

"Who says it's not true? We have already entered the cyberpunk era - high technology, low life. Except for those lucky ones who can find a job in a company, all ordinary people can be regarded as the bottom of the society, living a miserable life under the oppression of big companies.

That’s why I want to do something with my unique ‘talent’, to make money and try to change the current social situation.”

Bruce drank his coffee elegantly, his tone surprisingly calm: "That will be difficult. Based on the limited information I have, I have studied the social structure over there. I found that the government is just a vassal of the company. The so-called country has long been controlled by multinational corporations and has become a puppet. If you want to make a difference, you must confront them head-on. The chances of winning... are almost zero."

Leo nodded, but he disagreed: "It is true for ordinary people. Even if you are the 'crown prince' of a large company and the first heir to the company, it is difficult to overthrow the entire social system. But I am different. I can take advantage of this and use the 'power' of this world as a lever to change the world situation.

Take alcohol-2 wheat for example. Other big companies have been researching it for many years and invested a lot of manpower and resources but still failed to make effective progress. But I can try to use "magic" to bypass the technological blockade, which gives me a chance to shake up the world with a small effort."

"..."

There was a brief silence at the table.

Bruce readjusted his threat level based on his response and demeanor.

The time traveler, just as he expected, would be a huge trouble - his own growth and external resources were growing too fast, and maybe one day they would suddenly get out of control and turn into a "big snowball" that could crush the entire world.

But... he couldn't punish the other party for a mistake he hadn't made yet, so he could only persuade him: "The weight of the world is much heavier than you think. If you are not careful, everything you cherish will be ruthlessly crushed. I advise you to keep some backup plans before you act, so as not to be caught off guard by unexpected situations."

"I know."

Leo thanked him for his kindness, and his desire for the Mother Box became stronger.

The great power belongs to himself, and he can conquer the world alone. This is his best backup plan!

After breakfast, Leo prepared to go to Arkham Asylum with Alfu to hire his chief researcher.

Before leaving, he decided to reveal some information to Batman to prevent their big plan from going astray: "Bruce, remember the 'nursery rhyme' I mentioned last time?"

"Owl?" Bruce frowned. "I did some research while recovering from my injuries, but only found some specious clues."

"Think about Gordon."

"...Gordon?"

"Gordon is an unlucky police chief because the police station is full of subordinates with different ideas, which makes him have to fight alone."

Bruce was such a smart man that he understood Leo's hint in an instant - the Court of Owls was hidden in the Wayne Group and might even have considerable voting rights on the board of directors.

This was consistent with his judgment; the resistance, whether overt or covert, indeed came from within the group.

Seeing that he understood, Leo gave the last message:

"Bruce, do you like watching horror movies? What if there is a kind of, no, a group of terrible enemies who have undergone unimaginable human body transformation, are highly skilled in martial arts, well-trained, and immortal. They also have super strength, super senses, and rapid healing abilities. How would you deal with such an enemy?"

He walked as he spoke, and when he finished, Leo was already standing next to the elevator.

Ah Fu was stunned for a moment before quickly catching up.

The two of them left for a long time before Bruce blinked his out-of-focus eyes.

Highly skilled in martial arts, well-trained, and tightly organized... The more it sounds, the more it sounds like the "Shadow Warrior League."
