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

"Where did you find such an outfit? It's pretty cool."

V patted his jacket proudly, "I DIYed it. I added a lot of protective features. I usually wear it when I'm on an important mission. It makes me look more professional."

Leo agreed: "He does look different now, like a kick-ass mercenary. I'll wear this tomorrow to show my support to my buddies."

"of course."

For the rest of the afternoon, Leo spent the entire afternoon learning about Night City on the Internet, while V lay on the sofa watching TV. The atmosphere was harmonious.

night.

After dinner, Leo drank half a can of soda in one breath, not wanting to think about what he had just eaten.

Suddenly, the personal terminal received a message.

[The goods you purchased have been delivered to the designated delivery point. Please collect them as soon as possible to avoid loss. ]

The goods purchased in the morning will arrive in the evening. The logistics efficiency of Night City is indeed high.

"V, help me move the stuff down. The items I bought online have arrived."

He put on his coat, called V, and they went to move things together.

The nearest delivery point is not far from the apartment, and there is an NCPD police car parked nearby, so it is very safe.

Following the prompt, he placed his right hand on the scanning area to verify the SID chip.

[Verification passed, please take your product, Mr. L. ]

Bang, bang, bang--

The cabinet at the bottom of the delivery machine opened and several cartons slid out along the conveyor belt.

V looked around warily but found no danger.

Leo said, "It's just some food and medicine. Don't be so nervous. Come on, help me."

The two of them divided the work and transported the cartons back home in one trip.

After entering the door, V curiously shook the box in his hand and heard a rustling sound, as if there were a lot of small commodities.

"What did you buy?"

"You'll know if you open it and take a look."

Leo opened several cartons and, after a quick check, confirmed that they were consistent with his shopping list.

V squatted on the ground, checking the "medicine box" he brought back: "Qinglizhi, Fuerkang, family medicine box, emergency medical kit... Oh my god, are you buying so much for a war?"

Leo was too lazy to respond to her teasing. He bent down, took out an emergency medical kit from the box, and fiddled with it curiously.

The scientific name of this thing in the game is "Life Enhancer", which is used to apply a BUFF that increases the maximum health by 20% before a big battle.

But in the real world, this is a life-saving emergency medical kit. The publicity says that as long as the user has one breath left, he can stay alive and wait for rescue.

He carefully opened the lid and soon understood why this thing could be sold for 900 euros per set.

This medical kit is actually a high-tech product. As long as you put your hands or feet into the designated grooves, the life detection equipment will automatically diagnose the patient's condition and then automatically administer the medicine. It is a completely fool-proof operation.

"This is a good thing. Rich mercenaries always have one at home, just in case. However, you bought three sets at once, and there are so many healing drugs, it's a bit too much."

V looked at the whole box of medicines and felt a little confused.

“Not much, not much!” Leo took out a medical kit and some healing pills from the box and stuffed them into V’s pockets. “Put these in your room. I’ll find somewhere else to put the others.”

V held a pile of medicines in his arms in a daze, watching him busying himself stuffing the medicines into various places such as under the coffee table, in the desk drawer, and in the cupboard.

After stuffing about half of it, he carried the rest back upstairs, apparently to his bedroom.

"Others hide guns everywhere, why do you hide medicine everywhere..."

V's question was not answered, so she could only scratch her head and take the medicines back to her room.

It's free anyway. As a mercenary, I won't complain about having too many life-saving drugs.

Nobody: Chapter 44: Arasaka Academy

Apartment on the second floor.

Leo stuffed a few healing medicines into the bedside table, and stuffed the remaining medicines and boxes directly into the singularity space as a strategic reserve.

While V was returning to his room, he tiptoed downstairs and put most of the supplies into the space.

Enough drinking water and food for one person for a month, plenty of medicine, and it seems that he only needs weapons and ammunition, so that he can survive for a long time alone...

"What are you doing sneaking around like this?"

V walked out of the room and immediately saw Leo's sneaky figure from behind. He almost thought there was a thief in the house.

Leo's body stiffened, and he turned around pretending nothing had happened: "I put away the supplies, and left some for you as an emergency reserve."

"Hmm... OK, you know what, your way of thinking is a bit like that of a local."

V didn't think much about it and walked over to move the box to the kitchen.

Later in the evening, Leo reminded V to go out at 8 o'clock tomorrow, and then he quickly washed up and went to bed.

The mental fatigue fed back to his body, causing him to close his eyes and quickly fall asleep.

2076 2 Month 20 Day.

Didi-Didi-

The beautiful dream of watching TV with V in my arms was interrupted by the annoying alarm clock.

Leo opened his eyes drowsily and looked around for the alarm clock.

It's nowhere, where is the damn alarm going off?

After more than ten seconds, he regained consciousness and remembered that he had set the alarm using his personal terminal, and it went off directly in his head...

After turning off the alarm clock, he thought of the dream again and felt quite annoyed - it was already a dream, but he still dared to hug each other. Leo, oh Leo, just go for it, what a coward!

He brought this emotion to the dinner table, where V quickly noticed it.

"Put aside your dirty thoughts. If you dare to enter my room in the middle of the night, be careful of getting punched!"

Leo paused while eating, touched his cheek with his left hand, checked his facial expression, and then asked in confusion:

"I've always been curious. How can you read my true thoughts through my electronic eyes when I'm in such an expressionless state?"

"It's not about seeing, it's about feeling! Or intuition!"

"Okay, awesome..."

Leo stopped talking and didn't dare to think about the warm scene of hugging V.

After dinner, he changed into that expensive casual suit and walked out of the house with V.

The way to travel is of course the Delaman car.

"Good morning, Mr. Leonardo."

"Welcome to take the Delaman Express again. Choose Delaman and leave your troubles at the door."

Delaman's big bald head appeared on the monitor.

Leo responded in a friendly manner: "Hello to you too, is there any serious problem with the damaged vehicle the day before yesterday?"

"Yes, our company's special vehicle uses a detachable armored shell, which is very convenient to replace and repair. It has been repaired. Thank you for your concern."

"As per the process, please verify your personal information, and then we will set off."

Needless to say, Leo has already adapted to this kind of life where he has to check his personal information everywhere.

After the verification is completed, the vehicle starts steadily.

Along the way, Leo looked out the window and occasionally chatted with V to relieve the tension in his heart.

After leaving school for more than ten years, he never expected that he would be able to enroll again as a student.

When he thought about the entrance exam, his temples began to throb and his breathing became a little difficult.

[Dad, please don't worry. I will assist you throughout the test and ensure that you can get a high score. ]

[Well, I'm counting on you.]

Leo took a deep breath, closed his eyes and dozed off for a moment.

It felt like only ten minutes had passed, and the speed of the special car slowly decreased.

"Mr. Leonardo, we have arrived at the company square. Your destination, 'Arasaka Academy' is on your right. I wish you all the best."

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

After getting off the car, Leo was right opposite the Arasaka Academy building.

He looked up and saw the skyscrapers were so tall that he couldn't even see the top, which was daunting.

Hope everything goes well.

He lowered his head, calmed down, and walked towards the main entrance with V, who was also silent due to nervousness.

As the distance got closer, the close-up view of Arasaka Academy appeared before our eyes.

The entrance area has dedicated security personnel and security equipment, the same as those in the Ganbi Building.

Suddenly, he stopped and touched his waist.

It's broken... He brought the gun.

Then he turned around and looked at V - well, carrying a gun is nothing, V even has a grenade on his belt...

"What's wrong?" V asked.

Leo turned around and found that Delaman's car had already driven away: "It seems that we should not bring weapons. The security of Arasaka Academy is very strict."

"Ah? Going out without a weapon is no different than going out without clothes?"

V obviously couldn't accept the idea of not carrying a weapon. She always kept her gun under her pillow when she slept. How could she not carry a gun!

Leo was a little hesitant, but since he was already here, he might as well give it a try.

Fortunately, the security guard had apparently encountered their situation frequently and came up with a solution.

"Mr. Leonardo, I saw your and Miss Vivian's visit application. According to security regulations, you two can leave your guns with the guard at the door. We guarantee that there will be no problems with your weapons."

The male security guard pointed to the left and back, where was the college security office.

Leo breathed a sigh of relief, thanked V and walked over with him.

A sturdy man who was over two meters tall and weighed at least several hundred kilograms received them. He took out a safekeeping box and checked it with his own hands before putting their weapons in it.

"M-10AF Lexington, a small toy produced by Military Technology. F-GX fragmentation grenade, just so-so. JKE-X2 Kenshin, with the company's genuine plug-in installed, well, tasteful, not bad!"

The sturdy man's electronic eyes were shining, and he looked down on the first two weapons until he saw Kenshin, produced by Arasaka Corporation. Then he looked up and gave them a look that said "you know what's good".

"Okay, put it in the safe and take it out when you leave."

"Thank you very much."

Leo glanced at the time. It was half past eight, so there was still enough time.

This time, the two of them successfully passed the security check and entered Arasaka Academy.

As soon as you enter the door, the spacious and bright space makes you feel happy.

The pedestrians coming and going were all well-dressed, and he was not the only one who came with bodyguards.

"Damn... I see nothing but company dogs everywhere. If gang members come here, they will be so excited that they will die suddenly."

V whispered beside him.

Leo turned his head to look at her: "Are you not nervous again?"

V smiled slightly: "I suddenly realized that it's you who is going to take the exam, not me, so why should I be nervous?"

What she said made a lot of sense, and Leo's mood, which had just relaxed, suddenly became tense again.
