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

[Received, give me a few minutes. ]

After handing the task over to Chunbai, Leo coughed twice and pretended to agree with V's opinion:

"I think what V said makes sense. In that case, let's gather another team to work together. Sasha, do you still remember Mann and the others?"

Sasha, who was indulging in the deliciousness of watermelon, was suddenly stunned. She didn't expect to be called out suddenly. She wiped her mouth in panic and thought: "Mann... Oh, I met a member of their team once, and I felt pretty good."

After she finished speaking, she was about to continue eating when she suddenly thought of something and quickly added, "Of course, it's definitely not as good as our current team!"

She has recently become completely addicted to the taste of fresh fruits, and is more satisfied with a big bed and a large apartment where she can roll around several times. She no longer wants to go back to her previous poor life.

Leo was very satisfied with her statement and turned his inquiring eyes to V.

V watched him carefully, always feeling that he was hiding something. But for his safety, hiring a reliable mercenary was indeed a good choice.

After hesitating for a moment, she agreed to the proposal.

Leo tried hard to suppress the smile that was about to appear on his face and pretended to be calm.

After a while, Chunbai found Mann's number and added it directly to his address book.

First Show of Strength: Chapter 140 Kang Tao’s Visitor

“Buzz…Buzz…”

A few seconds later, the call was connected and Mann's portrait appeared in the upper left corner of the prosthetic eye.

He seemed to be a very cautious person. He only gave his name and did not turn on the real-time image.

"Which one?"

The muffled voice clearly indicated that he was a hardliner.

Leo was much more straightforward than him and directly showed his profile picture: "I am L, a middleman."

There was silence for a few seconds, as if they were observing his appearance.

Then, Mann's head shadow appeared in the photo frame.

He has a Mohawk-style flat head, a rough face, and sunglasses so his eyes can't be seen clearly, but one can see the longitudinal metal implant marks and metal mandible left by the high degree of prosthetics on his face.

There is no doubt that this is a top mercenary with a high degree of transformation and his combat power is absolutely amazing.

After they looked at each other, Mann spoke again: "I've heard of you. Do you have a commission?"

Leo nodded: "Yes, I have a big job to announce, and I just happen to be short of manpower. Let's meet at the Sheng Bar at noon today."

"In the next life..." Mann said with a strange tone, "I'm willing to go, but the question is, why us? I don't think we are that famous yet."

It can be seen that he is very cautious. Unlike ordinary street boys, he will not rush into things recklessly like a moth to a flame because of a little temptation.

Leo was prepared for this question: "Sasha is on my team, and she said a few good words for you."

Mutual acquaintances between both parties are often the best intermediary for gaining trust.

Mann nodded slowly, accepting the comment.

"Remember, bring your teammates with you. We'll start working right after the deal is done. Bring your weapons, your own vehicle, and other things—"

Buzz-buzz-

The sound of buzzing alarms and the whirring of jet engines quickly grew louder and louder, interrupting his words.

Leo turned his head and looked out the window. It turned out that Kang Tao's hovercraft had arrived.

The 3V gun was about to be obtained. He said absentmindedly, "Let's stop here. My hovercraft has arrived."

The call ended with Mann looking confused.

Leo jumped up from the sofa and trotted to the balcony.

V was worried about him being alone, so he got up and followed him.

When the two arrived at the balcony, they just saw Kang Tao's hovercraft lowering the floating ladder, and a team of five people walked down in an orderly manner.

The first two were obviously security personnel. They were wearing advanced bulletproof vests and holding smart submachine guns in their hands, with the muzzles politely lowered to the ground.

The man in the middle has an extraordinary aura, wearing a suit and tie, and looks like a leader.

The two people behind seemed to be technicians, one was carrying a weapons box and a portable computer bag, and the other was holding a high-tech device that had never been seen before.

Leo stepped forward and hesitantly extended his hand to the man in the middle: "Hello, I'm Leonardo."

"Shao Xuan, deputy general manager of Kang Tao's Night City branch. I am mainly responsible for sales. Nice to meet you."

Holding hands, the two looked at each other.

Shao Xuan was surprised at the young face of the mysterious "L" opposite him, and he increasingly suspected that he was the nephew of a big shot in the country. Otherwise, how could he get the big shots from other departments to greet him and give him convenience?

Leo suspected that the man in front of him was the person in charge that day, and his position was just right for this job.

It was the first time the two met and their relationship was still unfamiliar, so they exchanged a few polite words and then got straight to the point.

Shao Xuan asked the employee carrying the weapon box to come forward and show Leo the customized firearms.

Gold Exclusive Edition Yinglong Smart Submachine Gun.

Gold Exclusive Edition Type Zero Smart Pistol.

The non-core structures of the two guns, such as the grip, magazine housing, rail decoration, trigger guard, gun body nameplate, etc., have all been replaced with gold materials.

The VVV icon engraved on the gun body with flowing metal and platinum shines with charming colors, making it unforgettable.

Leo picked up the two guns and found that the weight was just right. With his current arm strength, he could easily shoot with both hands.

As for accuracy, it is naturally taken care of by the smart plug-in built into the gun.

"Very good, I am very satisfied with these two customized guns. I believe we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Even Shao Xuan was dazzled by the two shining golden guns, and it took him several seconds to react.

He waved his hand, signaling another technician to come forward.

"This is our professional firearms engineer from Kang Tao. He will be responsible for debugging the firearm for you on site."

Leo looked over curiously, not understanding how he was going to debug on the spot.

The engineer who was carrying the weapons box took out a laptop and started typing quickly.

Soon, dozens of mini drones flew out of the hovercraft and scattered in the air.

Leo looked at the gun in his hand, then at the drone in the sky, as if he understood what they meant.

But... wouldn't it scare the neighbors if you shoot out from the balcony in broad daylight?

"Please don't worry. The bullets used in your gun are simulated bullets. They are not lethal and are only used to test the gun shooting data."

After hearing this, Leo turned on the smart connected prosthesis with confidence.

[Intelligent weapon chip discovered, connection started. 】

[Connection successful...Verify the gun model and built-in intelligent system. ]

[Synchronizing to the latest operating version...]

【25%…50%…completed.】

Lines of data appeared in the prosthetic eye, quickly loading the data of the customized firearm into the prosthetic body.

"The first full scan takes a lot of time. This will not happen again unless it is a major version update or data update. Please rest assured."

The engineer at the side introduced to him in a soft voice the latest plug-ins and cutting-edge technologies on the gun. Leo was dizzy from hearing all those professional terms, so he could only let Chunbai record them down so that he could understand them slowly later.

After a few minutes, the data loading was completed and the test officially began.

Just like what we experienced in the training chip, as long as we aim in the general direction and pull the trigger, the tracking bullet will automatically find the hostile target and destroy the enemy.

Since he used simulated bullets, he didn't have to worry about blowing up the drone and scaring his neighbors upstairs and downstairs, so he pulled the trigger all the way and enjoyed the pleasure of shooting at will.

After firing every few rounds, the engineer would connect the gun to high-tech equipment and perform some fine-tuning that he couldn't understand but seemed very advanced.

After repeating this several times, the engineer respectfully told him that the debugging was complete, the gun perfectly suited his usage habits, and locked his personal information so that no one else could use it.

Shao Xuan said goodbye in a friendly manner and gave a special "greeting gift".

He took out a delicate chip in a small box from his suit pocket and introduced it:

"This is Kangtao's internal dedicated intelligent weapon training chip. It records the advanced use skills of intelligent weapons. You may want to take a look at it when you have time. Then you will find that using intelligent weapons can also be an exciting and interesting thing."

"Finally, thank you for choosing Kangtao's products. Although we started a step slower than Arasaka, we are now evenly matched, and the future will definitely belong to us!"

"salute!"

The group of five saluted Leo and quickly evacuated back to the hovercraft.

Leo instinctively returned the greeting, and then he felt a real gaze coming from behind.

First appearance: Chapter 141 The power of gold!

"Oh, you really returned the gift?"

V approached quickly with a slightly teasing voice and poked his waist from behind.

"That's because no one saw it. Otherwise, just because you saluted the Kangtao employees, they would label you as a Kangtao employee, and it would be impossible to tear it off."

Leo also felt a little numb. This was really an instinctive reaction. He subconsciously raised his hand...

"Well... just like yawning is contagious, when someone greets you, you should always respond politely, right?"

He tried to make amends.

But V laughed even louder. "Come on, can you imagine my reaction if someone from Militech or Arasaka saluted me?"

She walked to Leo's side and reached out to press the handle of the gun - "I will just pull out the gun or give them the middle finger!"

Leo was speechless and could not find an excuse.

V didn't continue teasing, his expression turned serious instead, "Seriously, I saw it clearly from behind, he suddenly shouted that just to test you."

"Testing me?" Leo's heart moved.

"Yes, let's see if you will react to this." V said softly, "If you subconsciously return the greeting and your posture is very standard, then it means you may have relevant training background. Humph... these company dogs are so cunning."

"Forget it, it's not important..."

V's voice sank, then quickly rose to the level of a soprano.

"Let me see this gun worth 150 million euros! I've never seen such an expensive gun in my life!"

V opened his arms, grabbed the weapon box, and pulled it into his arms.

Leo himself hadn't satisfied his desire yet, so of course he was unwilling to give in.

But she was too strong...

"Bring it to you!"

V roared, snatched the weapon box from his hands, and ran into the house holding it.

"Come and see for yourself! A luxury gun worth 150 million euros!"

Leo's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he was speechless about V's childish behavior.

He looked back at the Kangtao hovercraft, which was only a blurry outline, and his thoughts were churning in his mind.

Kangtao...Compared to other large companies that override or even replace their own governments, this state-owned enterprise guided by the state does give him a better feeling.

But that’s just one point. We need to have more contacts before we can consider further cooperation.

When he returned to the living room, he saw his beloved gun being watched by onlookers - the Yinglong assault rifle was held above V's head, admiring the charming golden light under the light.

The Zero pistol was passed around among several other people, and everyone was amazed at this gun made of gold.

"This gun...if you throw it into a bar, no more than three people will be able to walk away alive." Jack expressed his opinion.

"There's no need for a bar. Just throw it out of the window now and a fight will soon start outside." Sasha thought he was too conservative.

"Generally speaking, a good gun should be shown to let people know that you are not easy to mess with. But forget about this gun. Most people can't control themselves when they see it and will rush over to grab it."

V played with it for a while, then looked carefully at the three Vs in different fonts on the gun. He reluctantly handed the gun back to him: "What a pity. I don't like smart weapons that have no sense of operation. I'll leave it to you."

“This is my gun!”

Leo snatched back his beloved gun, held it in his arms and patted it gently.
