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

It shouldn't cost that much to fill 104 cubic meters of food supplies, but he had to keep some reserve funds.

When these tasks were completed, a fiery cloud had already appeared in the sky.

Leo was very tired, but also very happy.

According to Afu, this factory was designed according to professional factory standards, and the locations for equipment installation were reserved. As long as the equipment and workers arrived, work could start at any time.

What else is there to say? The bank card amount was reduced by 1500 million. After a few phone calls from Ah Fu, the companies and cooperative enterprises under the Wayne Group have been put into operation. They are now starting to ship equipment over and will start work early tomorrow morning.

The efficiency of the rich is just so outrageous...

"That's all for today, Mr. Leo. Master Bruce is still waiting for you to have dinner."

Leo's mouth twitched: "To be able to describe close surveillance so tenderly, is this the art of language? By the way... now that I'm free, can I find a place to live by myself?"

Ah Fu smiled but said nothing.

Leo understood instantly that he was only given limited freedom. He could only come out during the day with the "accompaniment" of the Butler, and had to go back to prison at night.

Damn Batman, he...

Wait, would Batman really stay in Wayne Tower and monitor him remotely? With his personality of thinking everyone is a bad guy, he should be following him secretly and ready to attack at any time.

"Come out, Batman! I see you!"

Leo looked around vigilantly, searching for Batman.

There are currently no supporting facilities in the new factory building, and there are not many places to hide. He looked around and raised his head to look upwards.

Given Batman's habit of crouching in high places and observing secretly, he is most likely hiding in high places, especially places with windows.

However, even with his prosthetic eye he could not find Batman.

Is he worrying too much?

A few minutes later, the answer was revealed - he didn't think much about it, Batman was waiting for him in the car.

"Where were you hiding just now?"

"..."

Bruce was wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, so it was hard to tell where he was looking.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of them, Leo could only go back to his promising career as a driver and drive for the two big bosses of Gotham City.

Back at Wayne Building, Leo reported his work to the client's father and received a "not bad" evaluation.

Bruce was obviously distracted and spoke much less frequently than usual.

After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth gracefully and suddenly warned: "Don't wear your silver suit in Gotham. The Joker... is looking for you."

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Leo was stunned.

"The Joker... is looking for me!? Is the news true!?"

"The afternoon news was forwarded to your phone, but you were busy at the time and didn't notice it."

Leo quickly took out his mobile phone and played the video.

The clown with weird makeup on the screen suddenly came to life.

【Ha ha ha ha--】

【Have you missed me, little bat?】

[You abandoned me and chose to chase a woman, which really hurt my heart deeply. But it doesn’t matter, this kind of entangled and painful love is exactly what fascinates me about you, just like - your true face under the mask! ]

【Ahahahahaha, ahahahahahaha! 】

The clown laughed hysterically and it felt like he was going to roll on the ground any second.

[Nothing special, little bat, I just want to tell you that I'm back. I'm a man of my word. As long as you don't take off your mask and surrender to the police, Gotham City will never have true peace, and people will die every day.]

【Oh, right. 】

The clown used the dagger to gather his hair and smacked his lips.

[By the way, I say hello to you, 'newcomer'. I told you that we would meet again. However, I didn't expect you to run to the little bat... How pathetic, like a mouse with its foot on a mousetrap.]

[Tsk tsk tsk tsk... You are not suitable for that place. A bird with broken wings cannot fly far. ]

[You know what? I have a feeling that we will meet again, and I will heal you! Hahahaha! ]

The screen was spinning and the clown threw the camera into the sky. The screen shattered when it fell, flashed a few times, and then turned black.

First appearance: Chapter 84 Pure White: "Being stupid is also a strategy!"

There was deathly silence in the luxurious living room.

Leo stared blankly at the automatically replayed video.

clown……

"grass!"

He hadn't cursed for a long time, but this time he really couldn't help it.

"How did he recognize me? Isn't my face completely covered with mosaics? Has my true appearance been revealed?"

A series of questions were thrown to Bruce, waiting for his answers.

Bruce held the teacup in his hand and thought for a long time before answering: "According to my intelligence, your identity and appearance should not have been leaked. The photos circulating on the Internet are all of you after turning on the jammer."

"How did the clown figure that out?"

"You have to ask him." Bruce stood up. "Anyway, don't wear that silver suit anymore. Many people call you the Silver Weirdo now. That suit has become your symbol."

After he said that, he strode away. Judging from the direction he moved, he was either going to the laboratory or the equipment warehouse. It was obvious that he was going to work again.

Leo frowned, sat for a few minutes and then hurried back to the room.

I turned on my computer and logged into various forums and found that the clown's video had already fermented and became a hot topic today.

Thanks to him, the mysterious man sitting in the Batmobile, with a mosaic face and wearing a silver suit, became popular again.

These Gotham citizens seem to have a strange hobby of giving people nicknames, and they also gave him several nicknames, such as Mosaic Man, Faceless Man, and Silver Shroud.

At present, it seems that the last nickname is the most popular.

After quickly reading the hot posts, Leo also felt that it would be better not to wear the silver suit as it was too eye-catching.

His stomach twisted slightly at the thought of the craziest lunatic in Gotham City thinking about him.

Close your eyes.

[3 days, 01:14:05]

There are only three days left before we can return to Night City.

Spend one day shopping and the other two days staying in your room. It's safe to hide in Wayne Building.

Exhausted……

Leo lay back on the bed and took a look at his bank account.

5, 630, 000.

Now only this string of warm numbers can soothe his cold heart.

High risk, high reward. All the hardships endured here must be doubled back in Night City!

When he thought of the hungry V waiting for him to go home, he cheered up again.

"I can't let up yet, I have to keep fighting!"

He got up, rushed back to the computer and opened the programming software.

[Pure White, open the back door of the computer again so Batman can see me working hard in the room! ]

If you take the money, you have to do the job. Even if you are trying to defraud investment, you have to pretend to do it.

After Pure White completed the first instruction, he began to work seriously:

Create a new folder and import the EA0.1 version of the home monitoring system.

Then there's——

[Pure White, imitating the thinking mode of human programmers, updated the version to 0.2 in three days. Remember, in the process of work, you must show human characteristics, make mistakes, get tired, and have bursts of inspiration. Make him feel that he is working with a real person. ]

[I understand. Leave it to me.]

Leaving the actual work to the invincible cat girl AI, Leo stretched and began the next important task - reflecting on himself three times a day.

Did you work hard today?

Are all the decisions made today correct?

The answer to the first question is yes. He was busy all day today negotiating and designing the computer room drawings. He worked very hard.

The second question is a bit...

[Chunbai, think about it carefully. I seem to have made a lot of wrong decisions today and lost a lot of money. Are you sure this "tank down" mode is okay? ]

[OK, please continue to follow the strategy we agreed on. In addition, this is not a sluggish strategy, but a special plan designed specifically for Batman.]

Leo's mouth twitched, and he felt a little complicated.

This so-called plan is very simple, which is to let him play himself.

He discussed this with Chunbai on the night he moved into Wayne Building.

To put it nicely, it's called letting things take their own course; to put it bluntly, it's called just giving up...

Chunbai, as a super AI that is fully connected to the Internet, could have helped him establish a perfect personality as an all-rounder with extraordinary wisdom.

But she firmly opposed this and even did the opposite. She would not interfere in any other aspects except computer technology, leaving Leo to do it on his own.

The reason is that Batman is too smart.

As a superhero known for his wisdom rather than his strength, Batman is almost an all-rounder. He is also suspicious, has paranoid delusions, and always likes to brainstorm.

Pure White believes that the better Leo performs, the less tolerant Batman will be of him.

He is safest only when he plays himself, an ordinary person who, apart from his superb computer skills, has little knowledge in other aspects or is even a little mediocre.

It is better to be regarded as an ordinary person with serious academic deficiencies than to be regarded as a spy or agent sent from another world.

Leo also thought this made sense.

Batman is different from ordinary "bosses". He is not the type that the more capable you are, the more he values you. Instead, the more capable you are, the more he fears you.

When he becomes fearful to the limit and his sanity collapses, Leo will be in big trouble.

[Please remember, as long as you don't want to fall out with Batman, then keep letting him have the upper hand and control the overall situation. As long as we can make money, nothing else matters.]

[The combat power ceiling of the DC universe is too high, and there are many monsters that cannot be solved for the time being. Our base is the cyberpunk world, and the current priority is to accumulate strength. ]

[I understand... This is still the same rule of survival in the workplace. Batman is the father of Party A, and I am the humble son of Party B. I just need to work honestly...]

Leo found a suitable excuse for all his failures today, and his mood immediately improved.

Let’s go check out the shopping website. He remembered that V said he wanted tequila…

*

On the sixth day in Gotham City,

The fragrance of soil floated in the air and a drizzle fell outside the window.

Leo stood by the window, stretched out his hand to touch the cool raindrops, a long-lost smile on his face.

I talked to V on the phone for a long time before going to bed last night. She said it was raining in Night City too, but it was acid rain there and not comfortable at all.

In comparison, the rain in Gotham City is much friendlier, even friendlier than many of the locals.

This pleasure was brought to the dining table and was seen by Bruce, who loved to peek.

"You seem to be in a good mood."

Leo thought of Chun Bai's advice, and simply gave up thinking and started to talk nonsense: "Yes, the first business is done, and with the start-up capital, I can at least be free and easy for a while."

"Hmm... that sounds good. You don't have to worry about the computer room. I'll take care of the construction and recruiting employees. You spend your time on programming, and I'll find you a team of network engineers to help you?"

This is a test, no doubt about it.

"Not for now. The home monitoring system is a mature system in our area. What I am doing now is actually compatibility adjustment and rewriting the system using your programming language. Once I complete the most basic part first, your engineers will be able to understand the code and carry out local deployment."
