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

Leo nodded obediently and put these things away properly.

V on the side suddenly asked a question: "Can't I do it myself?"

Lao Wei shook his head. "The bleeding site is most likely on the back. It's inconvenient for you to do it, and you can't see the state of inflammation clearly. I see you all live together, right? Can you help treat the back injury?"

V was still timid and silent, but Leo suddenly reacted and hugged the box in his arms.

Put cream on your back!?

And such a good thing!

As the captain, he has to give meticulous care to his teammates, and he is determined to do this job.

After a while, Lao Wei recovered and Vera also arrived.

Leo was kicked out of the clinic by the ruthless V and stood on the stairs in a daze.

He was very angry. Jack and V were obviously accompanied by him as the captain, but why was it the same for Vera? Isn't this bullying the new members?

Damn V, she will be punished sooner or later...

After standing on the stairs for a while, his thoughts returned to the main business, and he discussed his previous idea with Chunbai: [Chunbai, with your current computing power, can you intercept the emergency calls in the Little Chinatown area during our operation and delay the police's response speed? ]

[It's possible, but it's not necessary. I only need to cut off the signal near the scavenger base to achieve the effect you want without attracting attention by being too high-profile.]

[That's what we'll do. As long as we have half an hour, the mission can be successfully completed. Then I'll call the police and ask NCPD to come clean up the mess.]

Doing so would certainly run the risk of being seen as a provocation, but considering that he was dealing with a scavenger who was hated by everyone, even the NCPD would definitely not bother to intervene.

As a complete plan gradually took shape in my mind, time passed quietly.

An hour later, Vera's operation was successfully completed.

Leo paid off the surgery fees for everyone, and stuffed all the food he brought into Lao Wei's car, and agreed with him to meet again another day.

Afterwards, the three of them returned to the car.

"Where are we going now? Home?" Vera turned around and looked at the two people in the back row.

Leo shook his head: "Let's go to the Laisheng Bar first, and I'll announce the commission information first."

Vera nodded silently and started the car.

Just two minutes later, the vehicle stopped again. Lao Wei's clinic was so close to the Next Life Bar.

Outside the car, the drizzle had not stopped yet.

It was just half past six in the evening, but the sky was already as overcast as if it were midnight.

Leo opened an umbrella, carefully avoided the puddles on the ground, and stood on a relatively clean surface.

He turned around and responded to V, then walked towards the Laisheng Bar with two companions who looked exactly the same.

This time he might have come to the right time. Half of the tables in the bar were occupied, and top mercenaries from all over Night City gathered together to chat about commissions or complain about the bad weather.

The arrival of Leo and the other two attracted a lot of attention. On the one hand, it was because of their outstanding looks, and on the other hand, someone recognized him.

When the code name "L" began to spread among the crowd, more and more mercenaries turned their interested eyes to them.

Just like Claire once said - these mercenaries are just as good at gossiping as schoolgirls.

Leo tried his best to ignore the harsh sound waves of rock music, walked straight to the bar, and found an empty seat to sit down.

Claire noticed him and came over with a smile.

"Nice to meet you again, L. Want a drink or a private room?"

"Neither. I remember that the Next Life Bar can also be used to post missions, bounties or announcements." Leo supported himself on the bar with one hand and turned sideways to look at the mercenaries in the bar.

Claire confirmed his point: "Yes, this is Night City's underground hub. Of course, we can also provide information intermediary services. The charges will vary depending on the requirements. You might as well tell me what you need first."

"It's very simple. I'll post a notice to let all the mercenaries who come here tonight know that I have a big job and I'm looking for someone to talk to. We'll have an interview here tomorrow at noon."

Claire nodded, took out a tablet, tapped a few times, and handed it directly to him.

Leo looked down and found that there was a ready-made template. He just needed to fill in all the requirements and post it on the bulletin board of the Next Life Bar.

That’s easy—

Commission Name: The Great Purge

Client: L

Middleman: L

Threat Level: Medium to High (Combat is inevitable, and the number of enemies may reach double digits.)

Personnel requirements: A mercenary team of 3 to 6 people, with their own vehicle.

Commission amount: 300 million euros, multiple teams will act simultaneously, and remuneration will be distributed according to the difficulty of the work.

Details: Interview at Laisheng Bar at noon on March 3.

After filling in the information as concisely as possible, Leo saw that the bottom line was the charging standard.

The commission for announcements is 3% to 10%, with a maximum limit of 3 Euros.

There is no doubt that the notice filled out by Leo will be charged at the upper limit.

He handed the tablet to Claire for confirmation before paying.

Claire picked it up and looked at it. Her expression changed quickly. She looked at the notice, then at Leo, and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure it's this amount, without an extra zero?"

Leo nodded silently.

"What are you doing...robbing...uh, nothing, I shouldn't ask." Claire scratched her head. "Anyway, if you are sure everything is correct, just pay the fee. We are only responsible for posting the notice for you. You have to discuss the details with the mercenaries yourself."

"Very reasonable."

Leo transferred 3 euros to her and soon saw his commission posted on the bulletin board of the Next Life Bar.

When the mercenaries saw there was a new mission, they would naturally come over to take a look, and then they would be attracted by the dizzying numbers.

300! !

Are they trying to rob the company's transport vehicle, or are they trying to attack a certain company executive?!

The mercenaries became restless, as if they saw an opportunity to make a fortune.

At the same time, the code name L spread rapidly.

Leo noticed that more and more mercenaries were looking at him, and thought it would be better to leave first.

"I'd like to book a large private room in advance for tomorrow, is that ok?"

"no problem."

After paying the box fee, he said goodbye to Claire and quickly left the Afterlife Bar with V and Vera.

Along the way, many mercenaries nodded or raised their glasses to him in a friendly manner.

Leo nodded in response in a friendly manner, but did not stop to communicate with them.

First Show: Chapter 139: Silver Medal Fighter - Mann's Edgewalker Team

Leo hurried back home and called Sasha, who stayed in the apartment, to ask about their work progress.

Sasha excitedly handed him a data chip and took credit for it, saying, "The search for scavenger bases went very smoothly. We found a total of 27 bases in the Little Chinatown area, 6 of which were hidden inside the super skyscraper H10, and 21 were distributed in other areas."

Leo took the chip and inserted it into the slot behind his ear.

The data appeared directly on his artificial eye, allowing him to intuitively understand the distribution of scavengers in the Little Chinatown area.

They are centered around the super skyscraper H10 and are spread across the streets and alleys, as well as the industrial areas and docks farther away.

Just like a tick hiding under the mattress, sucking the blood of the lower-class people in Night City.

Leo frowned and continued to look down. There were 5 to 10 people in a small stronghold, 10 to 15 people in a medium-sized stronghold, and the only two large strongholds had an estimated number of around 20 people.

The total number of scavengers is estimated to be 200 to 350.

On average, a scavenger's head is worth exactly 1 euros.

"They are not worth the price at all. The combination of two experienced mercenaries and two novice mercenaries is more than enough to clear a small stronghold. 4 or 5 is not a small amount."

V also got the data chip and gave a reference price based on his many years of experience as a street mercenary.

This is taking into account the large number of people in the mercenary team. If the old her were to carry out such a commission, she would have dared to challenge a small stronghold alone for 2 euros.

Leo complained: "There are no novice mercenaries in the Next Life Bar. Just treat it as four experienced mercenaries going on a mission. Isn't it reasonable to double the price?"

"That's a reasonable price. A mercenary in the next life is worth this price, but a scavenger is not..."

V always felt that he was wasting money and didn't know how to be frugal. But she also knew that she couldn't argue with him, so she just lay down on the sofa, admired her beloved gun, and gave up thinking.

Without V's interference, Leo quickly sorted out the information.

The number of scavenger strongholds and the number of people are more than expected. According to this density, there must be nearly a thousand scavengers in Watson District.

Even if only a few of them can actually perform the surgery, and most of them are assistants or thugs, that would be an exaggeration.

Not to mention those black market clinics disguised as normal shops, which are really confusing before their identities are exposed and they run away.

"I'll use the corpses of these ghouls to build my reputation, and it can be considered as doing a good deed for the people of Night City..."

Leo put the data chip away and told Sasha to make fifty copies for use tomorrow.

Sasha agreed energetically and ran back to work.

He looked at Vera who was listening quietly, and said softly: "You should also go to bed early. We will discuss the action plan tomorrow morning when everyone is gathered."

"Okay, I'll go back first, and you guys should get some rest early."

Soon, Leo and V were the only ones left in the room.

V, who was playing with the gun, suddenly turned and looked at him with a probing look in his eyes.

Leo's mind was full of the commission now. After she looked at him for a long time, he asked, "What are you looking at? Are you looking at me to see if I am nervous?"

V nodded.

She was indeed watching this, using her unrivaled intuition to sense Leo's inner changes.

"So what did you see?" Leo asked curiously.

"I can see that you are full of calculations, but you are much better now than before." V stood up and patted him on the shoulder twice. "I can't train tonight, and I don't feel like watching TV. I'm going back to the room to familiarize myself with the weapons. You should go to bed early too."

Watching her figure disappear behind the door, Leo sat for a while, then got up and went back to the second floor.

Just like V said, the plan has been reviewed many times, and there is no point in thinking about it anymore. Let's just rest early and prepare for new challenges...

*

3 month 6 day.

Leo woke up early and pressed the back of his head.

It is said that the big guys of the Animal Gang all have pointy heads, but he is different - after installing several hacker prostheses, his head is hard, and if you press hard you can feel the implants inside your scalp.

This feeling is really weird, but fortunately it doesn’t hurt today.

After getting up, he sent a group text message to gather the members of the Eternal Life Team together.

"We are also responsible for a scavenger stronghold today. While testing our combat effectiveness, we can also cultivate teamwork. I tend to choose a large stronghold. After all, with the strength of our team, attacking other strongholds is like using a cannon to hit a fly. What do you think?"

V looked around, folded his arms across his chest, and objected, "If you don't go to the front line, I think this proposal is fine. But if you go with us, Jack and I will have to protect you, and I feel a little short of manpower."

"How about...I should go in too?" Vera suggested.

V objected again: "You are the driver. Your mission is to pick us up and at most clean up the enemies that have escaped outside the base. It is not in line with the duties of a driver if you follow us in."

Leo was about to say something else when he suddenly saw Sasha holding a watermelon and eating it with a spoon.

Subconsciously, he thought of the list of people in the memo.

When I opened it, the column for the silver medal fighters read - Mann's Edgewalker Team.

That's right,

This is it!

Now he has sufficient funds, more than enough to support a subsidiary team.

The guys in Mann's team are not only good at fighting, but they also have a super cute cyborg loli Rebecca!

[Pure White, help me find Mann's contact number. He's a mercenary in Night City, so it shouldn't be hard to find him.]
