V looked at him suspiciously and said, "Don't worry about Sasha. Dangerous Girl trains elite hackers who are good at infiltration, reconnaissance, and even combat. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are agents. Don't be fooled by her delicate and soft appearance. You are no match for her in a real fight."

Leo rolled his eyes. He thought his combat power was the second to last, but he didn't expect it to be the last...

Forget it, there’s no point in thinking too much, let’s go shopping first.

Side quest one: go into the school supplies store run by Arasaka.

The cute Japanese-style receptionist came up to us and said, "Welcome, how can I help you?"

"Ed-U Neural Connector."

"Okay, this way please, we have hundreds of models - eh?"

Leo's raised palm interrupted her enthusiastic introduction.

"I'm in a hurry, so I'll just bring out the best."

"Oh...oh, okay, our best models are all in this display case, please allow me to introduce them to you one by one - eh?"

Leo interrupted again: "Do you have any misunderstanding about the word best? I only want the best one, the one with the strongest performance."

The salesgirl was a little panicked: "The models here are all top-notch, and each one has slightly different focuses. I wonder if you——"

"Okay, I'll take care of this guest."

This time, the person who interrupted her was the store manager on duty. She was a good-looking working woman who obviously worked in a large company.

"The best are often the most expensive." She took out a device from the display cabinet and showed it to Leo. "This is the latest flagship model this year. Except for customized ones, this is the best neural connection device for learning on the market."

"Price?"

"55 euros."

Leo nodded, paid the bill and left.

The store manager is reliable, unlike the receptionist who talks too much nonsense.

Side quest two: go into the training chip store run by Military Technology.

The receptionist was a dashing young lady.

Leo learned his lesson this time: "Call your store manager."

Later, the receptionist was replaced by a female officer who looked like a veteran of many battles.

"What do you want to buy?"

"Professional-level combat training chip, the more comprehensive the training subjects and scenarios, the better."

The female officer's eyes drifted to the largest box in the display case.

That set... has never been sold since it was put there, why not take it out and give it a try...

After taking it out, there were ten rows of neatly stacked training chips in the box.

"The Centurion Suit covers a full set of training subjects and various actual combat scenarios. After learning it, you will be a well-deserved Centurion on the battlefield!"

"price?"

"It's only 98 euros per set, which is really a good deal! We also give you a set of auxiliary training equipment, so that you can get one-on-one training from the top military technology instructors indoors!"

"I bought... No, I bought two sets."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go to the warehouse to pick up the goods."

Later, two sets of Centurion suits were stuffed into V's arms. The auxiliary training equipment was too large and was scheduled to be delivered to the residence in an hour.

It was not until she left the store that she could not help but say, "I feel like this set is not worth it. Look, it says jungle combat, skydiving, and special forces rappelling. These are meaningless items that are just for the sake of numbers."

"No, you don't understand. These makeshift projects are the essence. I'm going to take one set for myself and leave the other set for you to practice more when you have time. Of course, I'll let Pure White check it first to make sure there are no backdoors or loopholes."

V followed him forward in a daze, not knowing what the meaning of these projects that were of no use in Night City was...

The side quest has been successfully completed, and the next step is the main quest.

Leo reached his hand into his pocket, used his clothes to cover it, and took out a black business card from the space - a business card of "Mr. Li" from Kangtao Company.

After taking it out and looking at it carefully, he put the business card back into his pocket and decided whether to use it or not based on the situation.

Take the elevator to the fifth floor of the shopping mall, and you will see a huge arms supermarket.

Unlike ordinary gun stores, the gun dealers here are separate, each selling their own products without mixing them together.

Among them, large companies such as Kangtao, Military Technology, and Arasaka have huge and conspicuous storefronts, so there is no need to worry about not being able to see them.

As soon as he arrived at this floor, V became excited and immediately turned on his prosthetic eye to scan the virtual images of the goods on display.

"Nekomata Tech sniper rifle, M-179E Achilles Tech precision rifle, there seems to be a Rakshasa over there, but it's too far away to see clearly... Oh my god, these are all great guns!"

She handed the big box containing the training chip to Jack and started to walk into the military technology store.

Leo grabbed her and said speechlessly: "Do my work first, wait a moment."

V reluctantly looked away and kept urging him to go faster.

So, a group of four people walked into the Kangtao Firearms Store.

"Call your store manager."

Leo said this before the receptionist opened her mouth.

Later, he met a female store manager wearing a cheongsam. She had an excellent temperament, with the gentleness of a girl from the Jiangnan water town and the competence of a corporate person. Just looking at her made people... feel a sharp pain in the waist!

After being elbowed secretly by V, Leo managed to keep a straight face and maintain his image.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

After taking a close look at Leo's appearance, the female owner communicated with him directly in Chinese, which made him feel very friendly.

First Look: Chapter 129 How to make a gun worth a fortune? The answer is gold and graffiti!

Leo thought about it and switched to standard Mandarin.

"Hello, I want to customize two smart weapons."

"custom made?"

The female store manager seemed familiar with this kind of request and quickly put on a business-like smile.

"I'm sorry, but Kangtao doesn't provide customized services for the time being. If you need smart weapons, our store has a full product line, as well as all the matching scopes and plug-ins."

Leo's expression remained unchanged, and he was not surprised by this answer.

Weapon customization is considered a VIP service. The larger the weapons dealer, the less willing they are to help people customize casually, for fear of encountering unreliable "spokespersons" and damaging their brand image.

But the firearms he needed were rather special, and these ordinary standard products could not meet his needs.

At this time, we can only try to call for off-field assistance.

"Give me a few minutes."

He nodded, walked to a corner of the store alone, and opened the address book.

He currently only knew a limited number of people, and there were only about ten numbers in his address book, which also included the official numbers of Arasaka Academy and the Trauma Team.

The most special one is of course Mr. Li’s number. The note Leo gave him was: senior executive of Kangtao Company.

Call... I feel like we're not that close. It would be awkward if I contacted him rashly and got rejected.

Send a short message first to leave room for the two of them to ease the tension.

"Leonardo: Mr. Li, I have something to trouble you. It's like this - I want to customize two smart weapons, one is a pistol and the other is a submachine gun. I have the money ready, but there is a problem now. The manager of the Dome Shopping Center's self-operated store said that Kangtao does not have a private customization service."

After sending the text message, he felt a little uneasy.

The other party won’t just read the message but not reply, or simply didn’t see it…

After waiting for half a minute, the other party replied.

"Mr. Li: Kangtao does not have this service. Generally speaking, don't you buy a finished gun and go back to find a gunsmith to modify it yourself?"

"Leonardo: The model I want is not available in the store, and the requirements are quite special. Let's put it this way, my budget for these two guns is 100 million euros."

There was silence for a full minute.

"Mr. Li: What kind of gun is worth this price? I can't sell you the prototype gun. It's not about money."

"Leonardo: I want a Yinglong submachine gun, and a super-modified pistol for me, with better performance."

"Mr. Li: The pistol is easy to sell. Yinglong is an experimental and cutting-edge product... Considering the price, it can be sold. Okay, I'll help you put a call there. But remember, you owe me one."

"Leonardo: No problem. I always repay a favor."

Off-field assistance promised to help, and Leo breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know what the other party's considerations were, or what he wanted, but he felt that he could get along with this person for now, and maybe he could become a bridge for cooperation between him and Kang Tao in the future.

Leo adjusted his facial expression and walked back to the store manager calmly: "Okay, wait a moment."

The female store manager looked at him in surprise and confusion.

Suddenly, she received a call from her boss's boss.

After a simple conversation of "yes, yes, ok, okay, understood", her expression changed and her business-like smile turned into a warm smile.

"Mr. Leonardo, right? Please follow me to the VIP room. We need to discuss your customized needs in detail."

Leo nodded calmly and walked with her to the VIP room in the store.

As we were about to enter the store, the female store manager showed a look of embarrassment on her face: "Mr. Leonardo, you brought too many people. I wonder if you can..."

She didn't say everything, leaving room for maneuver.

Leo knew that Chinese people liked to compromise, so he took a step back: "Is it okay if I only bring one bodyguard?"

The female store manager bowed slightly: "Thank you for your understanding. I assure you that our store is very safe and there will be no accidents."

Leo turned and nodded to his friends, and V followed him consciously without him calling his name.

Jack and Vera stayed outside with peace of mind - they were sure that V, who had both a full physical and reaction level, was the most dangerous person in the store, and they should be careful of these Kangtao employees...

As you walk into the room, antique Chinese-style furniture comes into view.

Leo couldn't say he liked this style very much, but he still felt it was quite familiar.

He sat down on the mahogany chair with confidence. The female manager first served them both a cup of tea, then took out a tablet and sat opposite him.

After quickly operating the computer for a few times and getting ready, she asked enthusiastically, "Mr. Leonardo, what specific requirements do you have for the firearms you want to customize?"

It seems that the mysterious Mr. Li obviously did not tell the store manager about the conversation just now. Perhaps her level is too low?

Leo had no choice but to repeat himself: "I want a Yinglong smart submachine gun and a Chao-style modified smart pistol. Since it's custom made, I want the workmanship, materials, and accessories to be the best."

The female manager's artificial eye lit up, and she had obviously reported his request.

After a few seconds, she nodded quickly: "No problem, the weapon body has been selected, what are your personal customization requirements?"

"Without affecting the performance of the gun, replace all gun structures that can be replaced with gold with gold."

"..."

The female manager's artificial eye was still lit, but neither she nor the person who heard the request answered immediately.

After a while, she pursed her lips in a trance: "Mr. Leonardo, the current market price of gold is over 300 euros per gram..."

"I know that my budget for these two guns is 100 million euros. Should that be enough?"

The female manager…I don’t know.

She was just a sales manager and didn't know how many grams of gold were used for a gun, but at this price... just to buy two guns?

The world of rich people is really hard to understand, she can only wait for instructions from her superiors.

This time it took several minutes before the other side gave a reply - of course it is possible, the part of the gun body that can be replaced with gold does not exceed 40% of the total weight of the gun body, and this price can still make a lot of money.

Leo continued to make a request: "Draw a special graffiti on both sides of the gun body with flowing metal and platinum wire--"

"Graffiti! What graffiti!?"

The loud shouting in his ear startled him, and when he turned around he met V's fiery eyes.

"No...what are you doing? Are you interested in graffiti?"

V shook his head, then nodded quickly: "I'm not interested in graffiti, but I'm interested in guns with graffiti. I've seen several collectible guns with rare graffiti that sold for a lot of money at auctions!"

"More expensive than my gun?" Leo was surprised.
