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

The mercenary looked at the gleaming gun in his hand and thought of the reward he offered. He really couldn't understand why a group of scavengers were so crazy that they dared to attack such a person.

"Yeah, I just went to Watson District for a walk and visited some landmark buildings, and those scumbags dared to attack me and even scratched my bulletproof car. If I don't let them bleed to death, wouldn't it make me look like an easy target?"

The mercenary who asked the question was still in a daze until Leo and a few others walked out of the conference room door.

Just because they were attacked by scavengers once and fired a few shots, they spent a huge amount of money to kill all the scavengers in that area! ?

He even customized a gun worth a fortune, just to kill the enemy with his own hands! ?

This is no longer just a vengeful person, this is simply a madman!

And he's a super rich lunatic!

The mercenary captains looked at each other and saw the same awareness in each other's eyes - don't mess with that L, he is scarier than a cyber psychopath...

Showing Your Talents for the First Time: Chapter 145: Assigning Tasks and Preparing for Action!

In the Laisheng Bar, the volume of the rock music that used to be so wild and noisy has been quietly turned down, and the light pollution has also been reduced a lot.

In the half-empty hall, the mercenaries were talking to each other and pointing at the soundproof door leading to the box area.

Today's hot topic is undoubtedly L and his super big commission.

Some mercenaries have already set up private bets on which company he will target.

Currently the lowest odds are for Arasaka, followed by Military Technology, and the highest odds are of course for Koto. Although this option exists, almost no one is betting on it.

L, his face - the smell of Kang Tao is almost overflowing, how could he possibly attack his own backers or even his own family members.

The existence of this gambling game is also the reason why these mercenaries do not apply for the job: the game between large companies is the most dangerous type of commission, and if you are not careful, you will die without a burial place.

They want to make money, but they are afraid that they will have no life to spend it...

Inadvertently, the heavy soundproof door opened automatically.

The mercenaries craned their necks, trying to see which "lucky ones" got the chance to die between the companies.

However, the first person to come out was the mysterious middleman L.

Behind him followed a group of mercenaries who looked impressive but unfamiliar.

Further behind were the mercenaries from various gangs and a few freelance mercenaries with wilder tendencies. Everyone had a relaxed and happy smile on their face...

This is... the commission has been settled?

When they saw that the more than one hundred people who went in all had the same high-spirited yet somewhat relaxed expression, the mercenaries who had not jumped in to wade into the muddy water were all stunned.

More than a hundred people were hired?

That averages out to only 20,000 to 30,000 per person.

The money is neither too much nor too little, but what kind of job requires so many people? Aren’t you afraid that the news will leak out?

Mercenaries who have acquaintances contact acquaintances, and those who don’t have acquaintances ask their friends to inquire in a roundabout way, all of whom want to know the information of the commission.

But the answers I got were all - you’ll know later, it’s a secret.

Leo admired the confused expressions of the mercenaries, and when he passed by the bar, he saw a "roadblock" with an unhappy expression.

"It's been a while since I last saw you. You look good, Roger."

He approached and spoke in a familiar manner, but no one except the Eternal Life Team dared to approach the queen of the Afterlife Bar.

Rogge still had that arrogant attitude, with his eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if he always had a hint of impatience.

"L, what are you trying to do by making such a big fuss? Taking away more than a hundred mercenaries in one go, and then waiting for the NCPD to come and shut down the bar?"

Leo smiled calmly: "I bet there are your people among the mercenaries, as well as people from the company and the major gangs. You have sent spies here, so why do you need to ask them in a hypocritical manner?"

His fingers tapped the solid wood countertop of the bar, making a rhythmic sound. "I'm dealing with a group of despicable scum. I don't think any company will protect that bunch of trash."

After saying this, he waved goodbye to Rogge and walked towards the exit with a large group of people.

[Pure White, don't worry about the undercover agents from the company or gangs. If there are any undercover agents from the NCPD, intercept the information and add them to the priority list.]

[Don't worry, everyone who enters the box is under my close surveillance, and no one has been found to have leaked information. ]

The smile on Leo's face became more obvious——

It’s so great to have a powerful AI assistant in Night City!

*

After leaving the bar, the mercenaries who were waiting for an opportunity outside were scared back by the larger numbers of the next life brothers before they could gather around.

More than a hundred elite mercenaries made all the little ideas they had disappear.

This matter seems a bit evil, so it’s best not to get involved.

Leo said "let's go" on the public channel, and then got on the car with his people.

The gangster "Weller" led the way, followed by two cars from Mann's team.

Jack sat in the passenger seat, looking at the purple Type 66 Avenger and the huge guy driving it through the rearview mirror, and couldn't help feeling a little pressure in his heart.

The guy named Mann looked like a good fighter, but he wasn't sure he could beat him.

It seems that after this mission, I still need to equip myself with some powerful combat prostheses, so as not to be outdone by the newcomers.

The car remained quiet, not even the music was turned on.

Everyone was not just standing there in a daze, but was assigning tasks on the communication channel between the two teams.

The commander of this operation is Junbai, who got this position by virtue of her superb wisdom.

“Pure White: The goal of this mission is to eliminate a large scavenger team of 24 people. They rented an old car repair shop as their base. The car repair shop is surrounded by a low wall, and inside is a large factory building, which is divided into several areas and a basement.

I have hacked into all the surveillance equipment and will send you the topographic map first."

After receiving the data, everyone saw the large auto repair shop covering hundreds of square meters.

Opposite the factory building there are several crude parking sheds and a simple sentry tower built with iron boxes.

Chunbai adjusted the orientation of the topographic map and marked three entrances and exits.

"Pure White: This stronghold has three entrances and exits. The front and back doors are both for vehicles, except for the side door which is narrow and can only be used by pedestrians. Among them, because the back door is an alley with a narrow passage, they usually enter and exit from the front door, which is also the most heavily guarded area."

"Pure White: My arrangement is - the Immortal Squad will attack from the front gate, the Mann Squad will attack from the back gate, and Vera will drive the vehicle to guard the side gate. If anyone escapes from the base, you will drive and chase them. With the combined strength of the two teams, I don't think it's necessary to formulate a more detailed tactic. Just play freely and kill them all!"

Everyone thought about it for a while and felt that this plan sounded feasible. After all, the opponents were just a group of scavengers who did this kind of work a lot.

But not everyone is in agreement.

"V: Wait a moment, I see there are quite a few guards outside the stronghold. Considering L's safety, I think he should wait behind us until we have dealt with the enemies outside and advanced into the stronghold, and then let him join us to adapt to the real battlefield environment. However, I will definitely attack inside, can Jack accompany him?"

"Jack: You can, but it's too risky for you to be alone without anyone to help you."

“V: That’s not necessary. In fact, you just need to guard the door. I can go in and kill them all by myself.”

"L: Rejected. Don't mess around."

"V: What should we do? It's risky to bring you along, and leaving you alone behind is even more unfeasible. Otherwise, you and Vera should stay in the car. Why would a middleman go to the front line..."

There was a small dispute in the Eternal Life Team, which left Mann and others scratching their heads.

I have to say, L has a pretty good temper, and the atmosphere in their team is very harmonious. They seem to be a team that is easy to get along with.

After thinking about it, he made a suggestion -

"Mann: I'll leave Pyrrha and Rebecca with L. Someone will attack from the front to distract them. Dolio and I will be enough."

"V: Are you sure you can do it? I see your equipment is just average."

"Rebecca: If you're just protecting the middleman, I can do it alone. Let that bastard brother go with you to prevent him from making irresponsible remarks and angering others."

"Pyrrha: Who is the one who is making such a fuss by destroying me in front of the middleman I just met?"

"Rebecca: Stop talking nonsense. My suggestion is the most reasonable one. What do you think?"

V quietly sent a private message to Chunbai, and only responded in the communication channel after receiving a reply.

"V: Okay, our hackers are always watching everyone, so we advise you not to do anything rash."

"Mann: We are here to cooperate with you in good faith, so don't worry."

Leo felt like a ball being kicked around, but the final result was unexpectedly not bad.

It was quite interesting to chat with Rebecca.

Chapter 146: Rebecca's Special Request

After arriving near the mission site, everyone parked their vehicles in a convenient location for evacuation and walked toward the repair shop.

They then split up and rushed to their designated locations.

"V: I have reached the high ground with a good view. I can see two guards on the sentry tower and two groups of scavengers patrolling on the ground."

"Jack: I'm at the main gate. The hacker has unlocked the gate remotely. I'll push in as soon as you shoot."

"Mann: The three of us have entered the alley. There are two minions here who are relaxing. We will kill them as soon as we start the operation."

"Vera: There are machine guns set up at the side door to ensure that no one can escape."

All the staff were ready, and they only needed the mercenaries to be in place, so that they could clear out the scavengers in the Little Chinatown area within an hour.

Leo didn't speak in the team channel because he and Rebecca were standing on the street not far from the main entrance in a daze.

Everyone else was preparing for battle, but he was just walking on the road. It was really hard to hold back...

"Hey, Onii-chan, do you want some bubble gum?"

"what?"

Leo came back to his senses and looked back in surprise... then he lowered his head and looked at Rebecca who was following him.

She held a shotgun with a green-painted handle in one hand, her mouth bulging.

Children make friends by sharing snacks...I guess that's how it is.

He didn't think much about it and smiled gently: "Okay."

Chew chew chew——

Rebecca stopped talking and stuck out her tongue. On the tip of her pink tongue was a piece of bubble gum covered with saliva…

Leo's smile froze.

After a few seconds, Rebecca retracted her tongue and said incoherently while chewing: "I thought you would want this chewed by me, but it turns out you don't?"

She pulled out a small bottle from her pocket. The bottle was colorfully printed with a chewing gum pattern.

Clatter. Clatter.

She poured a pink bubble gum into her palm and handed it to Leo, "Here."

After that shocking speech just now, Leo no longer knew whether he should reach out to take it.

Only then did he realize that this seemed to be his first close contact with "real cyberpunk". Rebecca's personality was quite different from the reliable V and Jack.

"Eat it. It's bought from the supermarket. Even if it's as expensive as you are, it shouldn't give you a stomachache."

Since she said so, Leo had no choice but to take it.

Before putting it in his mouth, he confirmed with Junbai that the supermarket did have this brand of candy.

[Artificial sweeteners and synthetic sugars may not be something you are used to, but they should be safe. ]

Pure white is always right. After chewing it twice, Leo found that the candy was so sweet that it choked his throat.

He reached into his pocket, took out a piece of loose honey-filled gummy candy from the space, and gave it to Rebecca as a return gift.

"You actually carry candy with you too?"

Rebecca looked at the unwrapped bonbon and stuffed a piece into her mouth with confidence.

This is the kind of candy that rich people carry with them. It’s unlikely to be poisonous.

The rich taste of honey spread in her mouth. It was not as sweet as the sugar she usually ate, but it tasted unexpectedly good, without any strange taste of industrial saccharin.

After exchanging the candies, her eyes moved furtively around.

Given their current location, no one should disturb them. As for the hackers who were monitoring them at all times, she didn't really care.

"Although I have introduced myself before, I still want to introduce myself to you separately. My name is Rebecca, nice to meet you, Ou Ni Jiang~"
