"That's settled then. Once I get the merchandise back, we'll go meet this pastor!"

"Come on, let's toast to 'Big Deal'!"

Leo raised his glass and invited everyone to clink it.

Then comes the leisure session of bragging and chatting.

Everyone got to know each other better, talked and laughed, and there was a hint of a harmonious team.

After lunch, Jack and Sasha said goodbye and left.

Leo sent them downstairs, and when he returned home he saw V cleaning the table.

That hardworking look really makes her look like the "hostess" of the house.

He paused to look a few more times until V raised his fist in a silent warning.

"What are you looking at? Come and help!"

Leo shrugged, walked over and helped obediently.

After cleaning up, they closed the windows, drew the curtains, and began the second round of bullet dodging training.

In a trance, Leo suddenly felt that this was even one step further than the four great friendships in life - this was a true life-and-death friendship where they had fired hundreds of shots at each other!

After eating today's dumplings, the New Year will be over. The update will not be so late tomorrow. I will try to update more often_(:з」∠)_

Nobody: Chapter 65: A brief separation

As time passed, the light shining through the gaps in the curtains turned from dazzling to dim.

When the first fiery clouds appeared on the horizon, the two of them stopped today's training with reluctance.

The main reason was that Leo couldn't hold on any longer and was knocked to his knees by V's iron fist again.

The new part after the bullet dodging training - combat training - completely shattered the little pride in his heart.

That feeling... where you can clearly see through your opponent's attack, but because your body is too slow, you can only watch the fists and feet fall on you. It's really terrible.

He was like a toddler with a full consciousness but a weak body, being beaten by V who also had Krenchikov installed.

Of course, it's not all without gain.

Judging from the fact that they were only mentally exhausted after using Krenzikov intensively in the past two days, their "prosthetic capacity" was obviously far from its limit. As long as they passed the adaptation period, they could continue the transformation.

He had heard V mention Swanston several times.

During dinner, V shared his experience with him while watching TV: "Krenzikov Type 2, this is the civilian version available on the market. Setting it to level 5 can increase your reaction speed by about five times. It can be further enhanced with the synaptic accelerator and reaction tuner."

Leo listened quietly, and suddenly noticed a small detail: "How do you know that 5th gear is 5 times, have you tried it?"

"I tried it yesterday, and it wasn't until half an hour ago that I switched it back to 1st gear."

"How does it feel?" Leo was a little curious.

"Not very good. Everything looks slow motion. It's like being trapped in a world at 0.2x speed. If you keep this up for a long time, you will definitely go crazy."

Leo nodded in agreement. He was still not used to the normal first gear, let alone a higher gear.

After dinner it was time to rest. The two of them divided the work happily, one holding the computer and the other holding the TV, without disturbing each other.

*

2 month 24 day.

When Leo opened his eyes, the first thing he did was to look at the countdown to the time travel.

【08:35:05】

There are still eight and a half hours left, and it should be 5pm when we travel to Gotham.

[Father, you can stay at the transfer station for three hours this time. I suggest you tidy up the layout of the engine room as much as possible to make more space for loading trade goods.]

[I know, help me plan the layout of the space, and I will start organizing as soon as I move in. ]

[Instructions received, executed immediately.]

+1 for work items.

Leo stretched and got up quickly.

After a quick wash and breakfast, he set off with V and headed straight for a nearby gun shop.

It was an inconspicuous street shop, much smaller than the Second Amendment, and the owner was a serious middle-aged tough man.

Leo took a look at his personal account and started his final big purchase.

Two ordinary quality Lexington pistols and a total of 2,000 pistol bullets.

After bargaining, I bought 200 F-GX fragmentation grenades at 50 euros each.

Bought 300 electromagnetic pulse grenades for 10 euros.

As his shopping list grew, the shopkeepers began to look at him strangely.

50 fragmentation grenades, 10 electromagnetic pulse grenades... What is this for? Is this guy a gang buyer?

Leo tried his best to ignore his strange look and quickly paid the bill.

My wallet shrank by 2 euros, leaving only over 5.

He thought about it and decided that he should keep some money in the account just in case.

Thus, the final preparations were hastily completed.

After returning home, V, who had been acting like a cold-faced bodyguard outside, couldn't hold back any longer: "I say, why did you buy so many grenades? Are you going back to meet an important figure, or to assassinate him? No, I remember that explosives are not allowed on airplanes..."

Leo didn't want to expose his spatial ability for the time being, so he could only be vague and said that he would keep it at home as ammunition reserve.

V's face was full of disbelief: "You are trying to fool a three-year-old. If you have the guts, put a grenade under your bed. I want to see if you can still sleep in the future."

Leo glanced at her speechlessly, and really went upstairs carrying the ammunition box.

V really couldn't understand what tricks he was playing, but out of trust, she didn't pursue it further.

Everyone has some secrets in this world. Just don't mess around with them.

After completing all the preparations, Leo sat on the sofa, enjoying the last leisure time.

He will be going to Gotham soon. He has no acquaintances or friends there, and he doesn't know if he can successfully open up the situation.

V noticed that he was in a bad mood again, so he sat quietly on the sofa to show his support in this way.

After a while, Leo cheered up and chatted with V while communicating with Chunbai, confirming that she had recompiled the [Home Monitoring System] and made it compatible with Gotham City's "old" operating system.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

Leo took a deep breath, slammed the empty Coke bottle on the table, and stood up suddenly.

"It's time to leave. I have to go to the airport first."

"Ah."

V followed suit and stood up, but before he could fully stand up, he was held down by the shoulders.

"I can go by myself. Let Delaman take me there in a special car. It will be fine."

"I'm a bodyguard, that's what I do." V was still reluctant.

Leo sighed, "Be obedient. You know that big shots often have some quirks. The man I'm going to meet is particularly suspicious. Even the slightest change will cause his dissatisfaction."

"Big shot... it's really troublesome."

V sat back on the sofa helplessly, scratching his scalp in annoyance.

Leo took one last look at her, picked up the silver suit jacket from the hanger, and pressed the elevator call button.

"See you in seven days, V. When I come back, I'll treat you to delicious food and spicy drinks, haha."

He pretended to laugh heartily twice, then turned and walked into the elevator.

Ding--

The elevator door closed and went down quickly.

Looking at the rapidly decreasing numbers, V's heart began to flutter.

She couldn't explain how she felt right now; it was a complicated feeling she had never experienced before.

She only knew that she was annoying!

Super annoying!

The feeling of wanting to blow something up, wanting to vent, wanting to destroy something!

She stood up and walked around the room a few times, looking at everything she saw and finding nothing pleasing to the eye. Finally, she walked to the window and looked down, just in time to see Leo getting into the black Delaman car.

The vehicle quickly drove away and disappeared at the end of the street.

It also pushed the strange emotion in her heart to its peak.

She frowned and thought hard, and after a long time, she finally understood part of it.

It turns out... With the departure of the mysterious man who suddenly broke into her life, the city returned to its original state.

Steel and concrete, skyscrapers, high-rise companies and the lower-class people struggling to survive, life seemed to have changed, but it returned to its original track because of the departure of that "variable".

"Stupid* place! Stupid* Night City!"

She suddenly wanted to leave. If she could go to the East one day, perhaps she would see different scenery?

For now, she closed the curtains and walked back to the vacant area under the stairs.

"Well... we can hang a sandbag here, and get some dumbbells and exercise equipment... It's time to buy Danbo powder. It's time to strengthen the training, so that when he comes back, he can show his skills and stop just taking money without doing anything!"

Turn troubles into motivation, Street Girl V - Intensive training!

Nobody: Chapter 66 Pure White: "From now on, we are no longer father and daughter..."

"We have arrived at our destination. Please take your belongings with you."

Leo came back to his senses and looked at the screen in front of him.

Mandela showed a proper smile on his face: "I wish you a happy life, my most distinguished guest, Mr. Leonardo. Choose Delaman and leave your troubles at the door."

"You too...see you next time."

Leo opened the car door and walked onto the sidewalk.

Looking around, Little Chinatown is still the same, with passers-by in strange costumes coming and going, and the noise and pungent smell of cigarettes spreading in the air.

As he appeared, more than a dozen eyes were focused on him.

Curious, scrutinizing, malicious...all kinds of emotions fully demonstrate the diversity of the lower-class people in Watson District.

[Pure white, cognitive distortion protection activated. ]

【Understand, you have five minutes to choose where you will return next time. 】

In an instant, an invisible energy field expanded with him as the center.

The people who were staring at him were collectively dazed for a moment, then they looked away and returned to the state they were in before they saw him.

This is one of the special functions of singularity space.

A short safety period is provided in the five minutes before and after the crossing, which can prevent the "locals" and various electronic devices from discovering that there is an extra person around them.

After turning on the protection, Leo became a physical "transparent man".

He walked forward quickly and came to his first stop on his first visit to Night City - Misty's Psychic House.

In the alley next to the store, the prophet Gary was still chattering on about weird things like Alpha Centauri and Lizardmen.

Leo looked at him with interest and stood in front of Misty's store.

He chose not to go in and just stood at the door of the store.

This is the place. If he gets injured in Gotham and luckily manages to escape back to Night City, he can receive medical assistance from Old Wei as soon as possible.

It's definitely a good idea to use this as a "return point".

[Pure White, forged my biological signal, and gradually moved away from Night City along with the flight to China, making it look like I was returning home.]
