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

Of course, he also thought of the "plot character", but he still needed to think carefully about who it was.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. We are pressed for time and can't just sit there in the tavern."

Leo stood up and said,

"Jack, rest and recover. V, come with me. We are not done with today's schedule yet."

Nobody: Chapter 25 V: "Damn Rich People..."

"Oh, yes, Jack."

Leo stopped and turned around——

[You are transferring money to an unknown account, please confirm that it is you who is doing this. ]

【confirm. 】

[Transfer amount 10000 euros, waiting for the other party's confirmation...]

Jack was confused by his actions: "What does this mean, mano?"

"I'll give you an advance on your salary - use some good medicine while you recover from your injuries, and if you have any extra, you can buy a bulletproof vest or some other weapon."

"Rich people have different styles... Advance payment, this term is new. The middleman usually pays after the fact, if the mercenary can survive."

Jack hesitated for a few seconds and chose to accept.

"Okay, I appreciate your kindness. I'm really short of money, so I won't be so stubborn."

[The transfer was successful, and 10000 euros were debited from your personal account. ]

Leo didn't say anything more and left with V.

My wallet has shrunk to 11.15, but it doesn’t matter - money is a bastard, spend it and earn it again.

Even though it is 2076, talent is still the most important thing.

There are unreliable people everywhere in Night City, so reliable guys like Jack and V are particularly precious.

With such a right-hand man by his side, he felt a little safer.

After saying hello to Mrs. Wells who was patrolling the bar, the two walked out of the Wild Wolf Bar.

The pungent smell of cigarettes and the strange smell of some unknown spray were locked behind him by the iron door, and the relatively fresh air refreshed him.

"What's your next itinerary? Tell me and I'll help you figure it out."

V's right hand was on the gun handle at his waist from the moment he went out, scaring away the unfriendly gazes of passers-by.

Leo thought about it and decided that safety was the most important issue. "I need a weapon. I see all the kids here are holding guns..."

"You mean Watson District? This side of Heywood... Oh, forget it, let's not beautify it. This side is about the same."

V wanted to say a few nice words about his hometown, but Night City as a whole is a quagmire, so there is no point in saying nice things.

"Have you chosen your target? Which gun store? Which weapon?"

Three questions, one answer—Leo shook his head.

"You haven't thought of anything yet?"

Leo nodded.

"I give up..." V was speechless.

"Doesn't this show your ability?" Leo said, "Ms. V, as a local, please give me some valuable advice. I have never used a gun before. To be more precise, I have never fired a shot."

"Is it so safe over there?"

V was a little surprised. She knew that the security in the East was better than that in the chaotic Night City, but it was not so safe that ordinary people didn't even have weapons...

However, when she thought about the fact that her employer was a super rich man, she seemed to understand a little.

This must be a single-family villa area that doesn’t allow outsiders to enter casually, damn rich people…

Leo shrugged. How would he know what the East in 2076 would look like? He would have to ask Kang Tao's people.

"Ah, okay, let me think... If you can't use a gun at all, then you are suitable for smart weapons - fool-proof operation, just aim in the direction of the enemy and pull the trigger, and the weapon will take care of the rest.

The downside is that the weapon itself and the ammunition are expensive, and firing a gun is like throwing money away. But since you have money, you definitely don’t care.”

Leo thought she was right.

He remembered that Kangtao's main business was intelligent weapons. They had the best chip manufacturing process and the most advanced intelligent neural network technology.

The trauma team seemed to have made extensive use of Kang Tao's smart weapons.

but--

"I haven't installed the smart connection prosthesis yet."

"..."

V felt very uncomfortable. She had to remind herself again and again that the person next to her was her employer, not a stupid teammate. Only in this way could she suppress her anger.

"I...I, okay, you need a beginner-friendly weapon, the easier it is to operate, the better. An old kinetic pistol, what do you think?"

"I have no opinion."

"Well, this type of gun is the most common and can be found everywhere."

"It would be best if there was a shooting range so I could practice."

"You're asking for too much..."

After repeated consideration, V actually found a place that she was very familiar with and that completely met Leo's requirements.

The problem is... that place doesn't quite suit him.

Seeing the uncertain and conflicted look on V's face, Leo stared at her curiously.

V's fists hardened, but she couldn't beat up her employer for "what are you worried about"...

Finally, she compromised: "There is a gun store in the skyscraper where I rent in Watson District. There is a simple shooting range there, which is very suitable for a novice like you."

Skyscraper?

Leo's mind moved: You must be talking about the "Ant Nest", V's initial residence at the beginning of the game.

good chance!

Maybe you can stop by to visit Night City’s famous attraction – V’s cozy nest!

"Okay, let's go there." He took two steps forward and suddenly paused, "How do we get there? Do you have a car?"

V rolled his eyes. “Do you think I look like someone who can afford a car?”

Since she said so, Leo could only obey her wishes and look her up and down.

Street girl V's outfit is very street-ready, with a half-new leather jacket, sweatpants, a black shirt, and a metal belt.

In other words, it's very plain... and looks like a poor bastard.

“Your look is very rude…” V clenched his fists until they made a crackling sound.

Leo instantly retracted his gaze and said kindly, "Okay then, I just came to Night City and haven't had time to buy a car yet, let's take a taxi."

He called Delaman's special car with ease.

V held the gun handle and glanced around vigilantly, showing the professional qualities of a bodyguard.

This time, Mandela's special car arrived after only two minutes of waiting.

Leo opened the car door and gestured to V to invite him in.

The latter didn't appreciate it and pushed him in: "You should go in first. Don't you see that all these people around are looking at you instead of me?"

After the two of them were seated, she closed the car door and knocked on it.

clang clang.

A dull metallic impact.

"This thickness... bulletproof... bulletproof taxi?"

The combination of these two words is indescribably awkward.

V thought of the 360th-hand Hera EC-D I200 he drove before leaving Night City. That car was actually pretty good. He sold it for Euros, enough to buy a door handle for this taxi...

"Yes, dear customer, the Delaman car is fully bulletproof and equipped with puncture-proof tires. It can take you safely to your destination even in a hail of bullets."

"Choose Delamain and leave your troubles at the door."

The big bald man in white shirt and tie appeared on the car's display screen again.

"Dear VIP customer Mr. Leonardo, I hope you didn't have to wait too long. I temporarily changed another customer's order and gave priority to sending the car closest to you."

Leo glanced at V with pride and said calmly, "Well, good job."

"Thank you for your compliment. Please verify your identity with your companions and confirm your destination."

Nobody: Chapter 26: Life is not easy, Female V sighs.

"You have to be a VIP customer just to take a taxi?"

V's stereotype of his employer being rich was further deepened.

It's really inhumane, too much money to spend...

Leo was feeling cocky in his heart, but he still had to maintain his composure on the surface: "The Delaman Private Car is an unmanned taxi driven by AI. I personally think it is much safer than a car driven by a human."

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Leonardo."

Delamain thanked him.

V thought about it, but the words turned into a nod - this was really true. If an ordinary taxi driver saw that the customer was a "fat sheep", he might step on the accelerator and rush into the gang's stronghold and sell the customer out.

After the two completed the identity verification, Leo set the destination as "Ant Nest".

But V stopped him—

"Wait a minute, I suggest you go home and change into something more 'Apple-like'. Wearing this conspicuous suit to Watson District is like yelling 'Come and rob me'. I'm alone, and I'm not sure I can handle a group of enemies."

"You are too modest..."

Leo paused, and suddenly remembered that she was not yet the invincible V Zhentian.

"But what you said makes sense. I'll go home and change my clothes first."

He changed his destination from the heart.

Eight minutes later, Mandela's special car returned to his apartment, even the parking space was the same.

Leo was not in a hurry to pay the bill: "We have to go to another place later, can you let your car wait here for a while?"

"This is not in line with the principle of efficiency first." Mandela refused at first, then changed the subject, "But you are my most distinguished VVVIP, your needs will definitely be met. Within half an hour, there will be no extra charge for the fare."

Leo was slightly dazed, while V was dumbfounded.

It's still a praise. This AI has evolved to the point where it can understand human nature and flatter people!

"Thank you, we'll do it as soon as possible."

Leo nodded to thank him, then took V into the high-end apartment.

Entrance hall.

Two security guards came over seemingly unintentionally and separated Leo and V, who was a little distracted.

"Mr. Leonardo, you are not being coerced?"

The lobby manager looked at V with suspicion, as if he was ready to take V down with just one order from Leo.

Leo turned around and looked at V, who was blushing a little, and grinned: "No, this is my bodyguard, he will come in and out often in the future."

"Okay, then please ask Miss Bodyguard to register your personal information. We must ensure the personal safety of our distinguished residents."

V realized that she was being treated as a "robber" or "kidnapper," but there was nothing she could do.

The clothes she was wearing really didn't fit in with this high-end apartment.

After verifying personal information once again, the security personnel stepped aside.

Leo took V into the elevator and pressed the button for the twelfth floor.
