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

In a happy mood, she controlled the plants and graffitied on the walls of the institute.

When Bruce arrived in a low-key luxury car, he happened to see her using red vines to make a big "cross" on the bat pattern woven by the ivy.

"what is this?"

Leo glanced at him sideways and explained in a friendly manner: "This is an anti-Batman icon, which means - Batman is not welcome in the institute."

Bruce looked disapproving.

On the other side, Poison Ivy finished her graffiti and added a line of small words at the bottom - [Bats are not welcome, in all forms! ]

When she was done, Leo gave the two of them a brief introduction.

Of course, Poison Ivy had heard of the legend of "Master Bruce" and knew that he was a super sea king, so her attitude towards him was a little cold.

Bruce started acting again, acting like a rich but unremarkable man who sponsored the institute on a whim.

The conversation between the two parties was full of official business and business flattery, and it ended quickly.

Before they knew it, it was noon. After having a vegetarian lunch, Leo officially handed over the power of the Botanical Research Institute to Poison Ivy and happily became a hands-off boss.

On the way back to Wayne Tower, Leo told Bruce about his vacation plans.

“Are you planning to travel to other cities?”

Bruce, who was driving, turned his head to look at him with a look of disapproval in his eyes.

"Yes, I have finished all the things I needed to do. The remaining time is just right for me to walk around and enjoy the beautiful Earth sixty years ago."

Leo sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window.

"Sunshine, beach, blue sea, rent a luxury yacht, find a group of bikini beauties, and relax ~"

"Are you sure? The research institute has just gotten on track, and the computer business hasn't even started yet, and you're just going to give up?"

"Never mind... I'm going on vacation." Leo began to act badly. "If I only work and don't rest for a long time, I'll become the hero in The Shining. Anyway, you're watching over here, so it doesn't matter if I'm here or not. I'm going to take a good rest now that I have some free time."

Bruce thought for a moment and suggested, "I can lend you a private jet and a yacht, both of which are the best."

Leo rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Come on, I'm going on vacation and don't want to spend my time fighting wits with your surveillance equipment."

"Then where are you going?"

"I won't tell you, so you don't have to use surveillance cameras to monitor me."

"What about your goods?"

"I'm going out for a few days. I'll come back to pick up the goods before I leave. I'll also visit the research institute to check on the progress. Don't worry about me running away."

The car fell into silence. Bruce didn't seem to agree with his travel plan, but in the end he didn't say anything.

So, after returning to Wayne Building, Leo rushed back to his room, changed into casual clothes, and prepared to leave empty-handed.

Before leaving, he put the agreed Sword in the Stone, drone, and old computer from 2024 into the isolated warehouse designated by Bruce, and waved goodbye with ease.

The next itinerary is simple:

Take a taxi to the airport and head straight to Miami in the southern United States!

Yes, go to Miami first to numb Batman's nervous nerves, and then disappear out of thin air and secretly go to Detroit to scout the area.

Just like that, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Leo was already lying on the silver-white sand of Miami's South Beach, enjoying the sea breeze, coconuts and the endless blue sky and white clouds.

After getting used to the gray sky of Night City, just looking at such a sky would make him feel relaxed and happy.

The only downside is... there are no bikini beauties.

the reason is simple--

[Pure White, why haven’t I recovered yet? Is my little brother still okay?]

[Don't worry, the human body is like this. It takes time to recover after a little damage. It's not like a robot. If it breaks, you just replace the parts. Otherwise——]

[Stop nagging and changing the subject! I just want to ask you when I can get better! ]

[I have recovered a lot today. I'll have another day or two. Your body is young. You will soon get used to this intensity after a few more times~]

[Go to hell…]

Leo looked at the fashionable ladies coming and going on the beach, but found that he felt peaceful and just wanted to sleep in the sun...

It seems that I have to find something to strengthen my physique in the future...

The next day, he rented a luxurious... fishing boat and went out to sea to fish with professional fishermen. He also went diving a few times and picked up some small crabs and conches.

On the third day, his little brother was resurrected with full health, which made him feel relieved.

That morning, he boarded the plane again with a forged identity and after several transfers, he arrived in Detroit, the largest city in Michigan, USA.

It is an important port city, also known as the "World Traditional Automobile Center" and the "Music Capital".

After checking into a five-star hotel on the outskirts of the city, Leo received a pure white notification just as he was about to go out.

[Rebecca called me and wanted your current contact information. Can you give it to her? ]

Rebecca…

When he thought of the cyber loli with whom he had had physical contact twice, a heat rose in his lower abdomen.

[I think he wants to ask about Sunrise's father. Have you found anything there? ]

[The person who transferred the bank deposits was a hacker from the Voodoo Gang, and we need to continue to track down who he is. The person who took away the siblings' residence on the pretext of debt is closely related to the Tiger Claw Gang, but I think this matter is probably done by the person who was greedy for money. The person who actually took action to eliminate Sunrise's father may be an agent of Arasaka, and this matter is probably related to the power struggle of the Tiger Claw Gang. ]

After listening to this, Leo quickly sorted out his thoughts and asked her to send the "cross-border number" to Rebecca.

A few seconds later, her petite and lovely image appeared in the upper left corner of the retina.

"Hey, handsome guy~ I missed you so much after not seeing you for a few days!"

Rebecca waved to him in a cute way, and at the end she lifted her surprisingly thick twin ponytails.

Leo had to admit that he did have the urge to "pin the other person to the ground"!

After calming himself down, he responded, "It doesn't seem like it's been a few days, right? It takes time for me to investigate the intelligence."

Rebecca's lips puffed up and she blew a bubble with bubble gum: "I know, I just miss you a little bit. Want to go out for a date?"

“I’m back home…”

"Eh--?"

Seeing that she couldn't laugh anymore, Leo's evil intentions were satisfied, and he stopped teasing her: "Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days. I have a lot of things to do, and I often have to travel back and forth between the two countries."

"Oh, is that so? That's good. I'm still waiting to 'play' with you~"

Leo felt a little uncomfortable with her suggestive expression and tone, and quickly passed on the information Chunbai had found out to her.

"The Voodoo Gang, the Tiger Claw Gang, and the Arasaka Company..." A heavy look flashed across Rebecca's face. "It's really complicated. I can't do anything on my own. I can only rely on you, what the hell~?"

Rebecca held up a costume bag, which contained a black and white maid uniform.

"I bought some nice clothes. Let's go on a date when you come back~ Bye bye~~"

She hung up the phone on her own initiative, leaving Leo's newly raised emotions stuck in mid-air.

Pure White quickly came out and laughed at him: [See, you are inexperienced and therefore prone to being cheated. You can easily be tempted. Hurry up and take out the Mewtwo Headband. I will use my invincible Mewtwo skills to help you see through all the obstacles and relieve the pain in your lower limbs.]

Leo refused unhappily: [I came to Detroit to do serious work, let me go to Dr. Stone's laboratory first.]

After leaving the hotel, he pretended to be an ordinary foreign tourist and walked towards the laboratory along an unfixed route.

Soon after, he encountered the first obstacle -

This STAR laboratory branch, led by Dr. Stone, is located in a closed park in the suburbs and requires passing through layers of security checks to enter.

For a tourist like him, just getting close would easily attract the attention of the guards, not to mention that there was an open area nearby, so it would be a luxury to find a tall building to observe with a telescope.

Claim to Fame: Chapter 243: L's Plan: Lead the Mechanical Legion to Seize the Mother Box!

【Luckily I prepared some great tools! 】

At Chunbai's command, the intelligent robot lifted up a metal suitcase.

[I bought this prop specifically for Batman, but since I'm not fighting him now, it's not a waste to use it here.]

Leo walked into a hidden alley, made sure there was no one around, stretched out his hands, and took out the box.

The solid metal box is a little heavy in the hand, probably weighing 20 to 30 kilograms.

After unlocking the box, he opened it a crack and looked inside.

The six-legged bionic spider robots, each the size of a fingertip, were densely packed together. Under Pure White's control, they all raised their right front legs in unison and saluted him.

【Hi! Hi...Leonardo! 】

The pure cheers were met with a roll of the eyes from Leo: [Stop playing around, tell me what this is. ]

[It's just an ordinary six-legged bionic spider robot, which often appears in science fiction movies. This kind of thing is very common in the black market of Night City. Although it is not as high-tech as the flat-headed one, it is better in quantity and is very useful in gang-level struggles. ]

Leo understood that this kind of low-level robot could only bully street hackers and gang members, and it was a daydream to deal with big companies.

However, it was more than enough to deal with the US military in 2010.

[Are you releasing them now? These black robots are a bit conspicuous in the broad daylight.]

[They are equipped with an 'adaptive camouflage coating' that can change color like a chameleon. You see them as black now because the boxes are black, but when they are placed on the ground, they will turn into the color of the concrete road.

Let's release it now. Noon is the time when the soldiers are most relaxed. In theory, no one would choose to invade at this time. 】

[I understand, anti-logic and darkness under the lamp! ]

Leo squatted down and placed the box flat on the ground.

Small spiders that are enough to kill people with trypophobia poured out like a tide.

After they landed on the ground, they turned into the color of the concrete floor in a breath. Just like the leaf mantis in nature, you can't see them at all unless you look closely.

Even Leo himself needs to turn on the multiple zoom of his prosthetic eye to see them clearly.

Then, under his watchful eyes, the army of spiders set off, crawling towards the closed park in more than a dozen groups.

[Okay, there's nothing for you to do now. Go find a coffee shop and wait for my good news. I will use these robots to break into the laboratory and steal information such as building structure drawings and defense deployment drawings from the internal network.]

【receive! 】

Leo wiped the non-existent sweat and sighed, "This family can't do without him." Then he put on the oil and walked towards a high-end coffee shop that he saw when he came.

A piece of Black Forest cake and a cup of cappuccino allowed him to quickly blend in with the petty bourgeoisie around him, and there was no sign of him being unusual.

After waiting for about half an hour, the confidential information from the laboratory was continuously summarized in the core computer room, and then sorted by Chunbai, and the most important part was transmitted to Leo's artificial eye.

【Organization name: STAR Labs, Detroit branch. 】

[General Manager: Dr. Silas Stone. ]

[Other important personnel: Professor Eleanor Stone, Professor Emil Hamilton...]

[Security level: Advanced conventional protection. Security services are provided by the US military, and the protection level is equivalent to that of a small military facility or a cutting-edge technology research institute. (PS: There are fatal flaws)]

[Security details——]

[Vault-level storage: The mother box is stored in a titanium alloy vault in the underground laboratory, equipped with advanced explosion-proof doors and multiple lock systems (biometric + dynamic password). 】

[Isolation barrier: An electromagnetic shielding layer is set up outside the laboratory to prevent external signal interference or internal energy leakage from being detected. ]

[Electronic monitoring: 24-hour infrared monitoring, pressure-sensitive floor, laser grid covering the core area, data directly connected to an independent server. When an intrusion alarm is triggered, the area will be blocked and the local security forces will be notified. ]

[Limited access: Only Level 4 and above researchers can access the Mother Box, and two people's authorization is required. ]

[Security team: Equipped with an armed guard team, equipped with non-lethal weapons and standard rifles, with a permanent presence of about 50 people. When the alarm is triggered, a reserve force of 100 people will arrive within ten minutes to provide support.]

[Pure White's comment: If the Immortal Squad is here, we can just charge in and grab the Mother Box. If V is here, I can work with her to steal the Mother Box. But now there is only you and four drones, so don't make things difficult for yourself...]

The corners of Leo's mouth twitched, and he agreed with her point of view.

His own combat power is really limited, and it is too reckless to carry out such a single-soldier assault. It would be better for him to wait until he returns to Night City, buy hundreds of drones and combat robots, and lead the mechanical army to rush in directly.

What's more, the methanol-2 crop has not been obtained yet. If we make trouble at this time and are discovered by Batman, it will be more trouble than gain.

[That's fine, then I'll come back next time to take the Mother Box. The aliens haven't invaded the Earth yet, and the US government doesn't know the true value of the Mother Box yet, so I'll just keep it with them for a few more days.]

[Yeah, that's what I thought too. Let's get the water purification plants and alcohol-2 crops first, then do this.]
