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

"At present, this little money is just a prelude. Only by establishing a 'rich' persona first, when my real 'power' is exposed, it will not seem too abrupt."

Seeing that V wanted to talk more, Leo quickly went around behind her, stretched out his hands and gently pressed her shoulders, leaned down, and put his mouth close to her ear: "V, I want to ask you a question, what kind of person do you want to be..."

V felt the breath close to her, and her whole body trembled. Just as she was about to struggle, she heard a sentence that she would never forget -

"Nobody? Or famous?"

At that moment, the pain caused by the violent contraction of her heart was something she had never felt in her life.

Her brain went blank, lightning raced along the cerebrospinal fluid, and the throbbing that seemed to break through the top of her head made her soul tremble.

Nobody…or Famous?

She seemed to understand—

Only unknown people will keep a low profile, and they can only keep a low profile until they die in a trash can on the roadside, or spend their whole lives struggling just to survive.

And those who are famous all over the world must be high-profile people, because if not, how can they become famous all over the world?

The hellcat in his hand opened its mouth full of fangs and roared at her silently.

Her ears did not hear the sound, but her heart heard it - it was the whisper of her own soul, she was saying... saying that she wanted to be... famous! !

"Let's do it!" V stood up suddenly, almost throwing Leo away, "Who cares? If someone really causes trouble for us in the future, we can just fight again! We'll fight until no one dares to mess with us!"

Chapter 135: The Storm is Coming

Successfully transformed an opponent into a staunch supporter.

Leo pressed V's shoulder and glanced at the others.

Vera and Sasha apparently had no objection.

That only leaves Jack... Oh, it seems he was worrying too much.

Jack Wells, a Heywood man who dreams of becoming a big shot, a man with a heart of gold, how could he be afraid of a small challenge?

In his eyes, Leo saw fighting spirit and ambition, nothing else.

"It seems we have reached an agreement, so let's do it this way. The prosthetic body needs to be installed tomorrow, and my gun won't arrive until the morning of the day after tomorrow, so the operation will be scheduled for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

Leo let go of V and paced slowly around the room.

"We can't make this public in advance. Even mercenaries in the next life might know a few scavenger friends, and might have bought organs and prostheses from them. If the news gets out, letting them escape is not a big deal, but being bitten back would be disgusting."

"I still need to think about it carefully. Let's stop here for today. It's almost eleven o'clock."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly remembered the time.

Looking out the window, it was indeed pitch black, as if a storm was about to come.

Night City is about to change...

Having agreed to gather again at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, the members of the Eternal Life Team walked into the elevator with great confidence.

Seeing their excited faces, Leo guessed that someone might suffer from insomnia tonight.

That’s right, this person is... V.

As soon as he turned around, he saw V aiming his gun and fighting a bloody battle with an imaginary enemy. It can only be said that the method of boosting morale is very effective for potential violent elements.

"Go to bed early, tomorrow——"

boom!

A dark shadow fell into his arms, interrupting his words.

That familiar hard and fluffy touch was undoubtedly...boxing gloves.

"Come on! Let's have a fight!"

V threw the "black" glove at him, inviting him to a duel.

"I'm so excited that I can't sleep. I have to move around!"

A drop of sweat slid down Leo's forehead, and he suddenly felt that maybe he should have restrained himself a little and not used "famous quotes" to stimulate V.

This is a bit too good...

As if seeing his reluctance, V tried to reason with him earnestly: "You have to install the prosthesis tomorrow, so you definitely can't train. Don't you want to become stronger? Then you have to make the most of every minute and every second!"

Leo was still hesitating.

V raised an eyebrow: "You don't dare, do you?"

She looked really pretty when her eyebrows were slightly raised, but the way she looked at "Bug" was really rude.

Leo's blood pressure soared: "Who are you looking down on?"

After putting on gloves, he started with a right hook. This punch was so powerful that it made the air beside V tremble violently!

Half an hour later, the bloody battle was lost...

It wasn't all in vain. In addition to improving his combat skills, Leo also learned the real motive of V's duel -

"You really enjoyed beating me today! Now it's my turn!"

Sure enough, there is still a personal grudge involved...

V is indeed a native of Night City. She never waits for revenge...

Nearing midnight, Leo dragged his tired body to bed.

Closing his eyes, he tried hard to fight the sleepiness that was coming like a tide and called Junbai out.

[Pure White, do you think my plan is too radical? After I do this, my temperament will definitely change, and I will definitely not be able to hide it from Batman.]

[This is an inevitable result, unless you always act like a harmless ordinary person. Moreover, this is Batman, and his paranoia will make him suspicious of everyone, without any need for evidence or reason.]

[Okay... leave him alone for now, help me fill in the gaps, let me see if I have missed anything. ]

[No problem, please see the list——]

A long list appeared on the screen of the artificial eye.

Leo looked at it carefully and found that this list was the same as the system vulnerabilities detected by Computer Manager, with the serious ones at the front and the minor ones at the back.

The first one is - bulletproof vest.

Leo was confused. He only thought about getting prosthetics and guns to become stronger, but he forgot that wearing a bulletproof vest could also quickly improve his combat effectiveness.

Fortunately, this problem is easy to solve. Just buy two sets each from the military technology online store tomorrow.

The second item is——combat drone! ?

[Pure White, I remember this thing is a controlled military device, so it can't be sold, right?]

[Yes, in theory, but you have just seen the company's true colors. There are many basic drones on the market. As long as you buy weapon plug-ins from the black market and find a mechanic to reassemble them, they can become civilian combat drones.]

Leo's eyes lit up - Vera was a very talented mechanic and this job could be given to her.

As for the purchasing channels, it is even simpler. As an AI, Chunbai is best at collecting information on the Internet.

He made a note of this matter, and after dealing with the scavengers, he would buy some combat drones, put them into the singularity space and carry them with him to enhance his own combat effectiveness.

After that there are some minor issues that are not important.

Even small details like the attack and defense rhythm when he was fighting with V were commented on by Junbai, helping him to quickly absorb combat techniques.

Sleepiness came over him again, and he took one last look at his personal account to confirm that he still had 498.5 million euros, enough to last until the final payment from the priest arrived, and then he fell asleep peacefully.

*

Thursday, March 3th.

A drizzle fell over Night City.

The thin mist was mixed with the smell of rust, and there was no fragrance of earth at all.

Leo stood by the window and looked at the street in the distance. He found that the pedestrians were all wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas. Even the naughty children were unwilling to expose their skin to the rain.

"March is the month when acid rain is more severe. You must carry an umbrella when you go out. If you are exposed to unclean rain, you will easily get allergies and inflammation."

V's voice came from behind, with a lazy tone.

Just as Leo was about to turn around, she held his shoulder.

"Don't move. I'll put a protective patch on you."

V's fingertips pushed his hair aside and pressed something sticky against his personal port.

Leo felt a little itchy and his neck shrank slightly.

After applying the stickers, he turned around and saw a small box of transparent protective stickers in V's hand.

Obviously, this is a prop designed to deal with acid rain.

"Would you like me to help you put it on?"

"It's already been posted." V shook his hair coolly and walked towards the kitchen, "Come and help. Let's make some hot Mexican noodle soup on a rainy day."

Leo followed briskly into the kitchen.

As it was almost eight o'clock, the friends arrived one after another.

Everyone sat together and enjoyed the hot and spicy noodle soup. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, Leo contacted Lao Wei to ask about today's surgery arrangements.

"Old Wei: Your and V's surgeries involve brain implants, so it's best to arrange them in the middle. Jack and Vera both have prosthetic upgrades, which are relatively simple. You can arrange the order yourself."

Leo shared the information with everyone.

Jack immediately stepped forward, patting his chest and saying, "No problem. I'll be the first one to go. Let Lao Wei stretch his muscles and get into the right state first!"

Leo nodded: "Then I'll be the second one. The time is short in the morning, so let Lao Wei take a rest after lunch, and then perform surgery on V. Vera will be the last one, and I just happen to have other tasks for you."

Everyone had no objection, and the order of the operations was decided.

Chapter 136: Smart Weapon Guide: Pull the trigger and wait for the bullet to kill the enemy

Leo found an excuse to go back to the second floor, quietly put down some packed ingredients, and then returned to the living room to talk about the specific arrangements -

“Jack and I went ahead and went to the Old Wei Clinic for surgery.

V adjusted himself at home and prepared lunch for us. When he brought it over at noon, he also brought the ingredients that I wanted to give to Lao Wei and Misty.

Sasha and Chunbai work together to find the bases of all the scavengers in Little Chinatown and prepare for tomorrow's operation.

Vera's mission is more special. I need you to rent a large garage in the Haywood area with the help of Pure White, which can accommodate three or five cars at a time, and then buy the matching repair and modification equipment."

Hearing him say this, V remembered his strange arrangement yesterday: "Is it for the twenty cars you bought later?"

Leo nodded. "Let the old captain deliver the cars to our garage in batches. After Vera checks that there are no problems, they will be distributed to public parking lots in various areas of Night City. After completion, I will post the hiding places of the vehicles on the exclusive social software and share them with all internal personnel.

This way, if you need to change vehicles or encounter other emergencies in the future, you can find a vehicle nearby."

It was a very sound arrangement and everyone expressed their admiration.

Leo looked at Vera: "You can discuss the details with Chunbai. She is in charge of the team's financial account. If you find a suitable place, you can rent it directly without asking me. The same goes for equipment. Buy the best and don't save money."

Vera nodded vigorously: "I understand. I will go and do this first and try to finish it before today."

Everyone knew what they should do and took action quickly.

Leo took Jack into the elevator, chatted and laughed as they got into the Type 66 bulletproof car, and drove quickly towards the Watson area.

Jack kept talking excitedly along the way, imagining the scene when they would become officially famous and become the "big brother" after completing this job.

"I never thought that we would become famous in just half a month. I was thinking about naming a cocktail after myself last night and I didn't sleep well."

"But it's worth it..." Jack's face lit up, "I've already figured out the recipe. I'll mix a drink for everyone at the celebration party, so you can taste the taste of the 'Jack Wills' cocktail!"

"Then I'll be waiting. The wine is personally mixed by the sponsor, so it should taste good~"

"That's for sure!"

When they arrived at Little Chinatown, the two greeted Misty and walked quickly towards Lao Wei's clinic.

The clinic is closed today and is only open to members of the Immortality Team.

When you walk into the underground clinic, you will see high-tech sealed boxes of various sizes everywhere, all of which are covered with the logos of first-tier companies. They look very valuable.

"Here we are, let's get started. The goods we ordered just happened to arrive."
