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

One of them is how to prevent cyber hackers.

If a hacker wants to hack into a target, he needs to be on the same network as the target or connected through a mid-range machine. In other words, there must be a mid-range machine nearby so that the hacker can find it accurately.

After a quick self-check, he found the most likely node, which was - the traffic monitoring system!

His mission today was to patrol, so for convenience he connected to the traffic monitoring system in the area, but... this thing was the internal system of the NCPD, and if it could be hacked...

Subconsciously looking up, he saw that a probe on the traffic light pole, which was supposed to monitor the street conditions, was "looking" at him. Their eyes met and it even nodded.

Stings broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

The hackers were watching him...

With no other options, he resigned himself to opening the received data packet and began to check it. His inner emotions slowly changed from panic to excitement.

They were really just scavenger strongholds, some of which he had heard of.

Even if these people have backers and supporters, they dare not stand up openly to "seek justice" for them.

On the contrary, when the news of the elimination of the scavenger group spread, both companies and ordinary citizens would applaud.

It was indeed profitable and...it did not violate his moral code.

On the one hand, there was the threat to his life, and on the other hand, there was a promotion and salary increase without any moral pressure. The balance in his heart tilted.

As for the "price", I can't resist it anyway, so I'll talk about it later...

"It's done."

Leo hung up the phone triumphantly and put his hand on V's shoulder. Because she used Swanwestin twice, she was deprived of the right to drive and was forced to sit in the back seat with Leo.

V had slapped his hand away several times, but he insisted on putting his hands on her, and she had no choice but to roll her eyes.

"What's the point of doing this? You made such a big fuss at the Next Life Bar. Even if the NCPD intervenes, they can only fool the citizens at best."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you don't understand this."

Leo made a sound that made V's fist harden.

“I have investigated and found that NCPD has been carrying out privatization reform since last year. This year, the city government has further cut the financial allocation for NCPD. They are now suffering from multiple difficulties, including but not limited to limited budget, insufficient staff, and internal corruption.

But, I think this is good news..."

Various plots about NCPD in the game flashed through Leo's mind, and he felt deeply sorry for the "purity" of this organization.

"Let me put it this way. Dogs are easy to understand. If you feed them well, they will treat you as their master and wag their tails at you. If you tie a chain around their necks, they can even help you bite your enemies."

"It's the same with NCPD. They are short of money, but I happen to have money, so we have a natural basis for cooperation. I will feed them first, so that they know they should wag their tails at me instead of barking their teeth.

Then I will train a group of senior officials who are loyal to me, or at least subject to my control, to put a chain on this powerful police dog. "

"This is a long-term task and we have to take our time. However, it is still necessary to select a few talents in advance. In any case, it is better to let 'good policemen' take office than to let a group of guys who are even more evil than scavengers take office."

Leo's long speech plunged the car into a long silence.

People usually don't like NCPD, but comparing them to dogs and saying they need to be tamed is a bit sensational...

All I can say is that people's thoughts and perspectives are indeed different, and they have never considered the problem from this perspective.

After a long silence, V was the first to break the silence: "Are you sure you can do it? The NCPD is actually backed by major companies. Your personal influence... well, if you can get Kang Tao involved, maybe it will work."

This time it was Leo's turn to roll his eyes. How come his own people also mistook him for Kang Tao...

“Not now, but soon. I plan to set up my own company and approach the NCPD as chairman.

You know what? Some powerful middlemen have started to train mayoral candidates, so what does it matter if I train a NCPD chief? "

Chapter 155: Rebecca's Enlightenment

My friends really don’t know which middleman is so powerful that he dares to get involved in the “theoretical” highest leadership position in Night City.

Could it be Rogge, the “Queen of the Afterlife Bar”?

Seeing that they were all silent, Leo opened his personal account and took a look at the balance: 490.5 million euros.

We will have to say goodbye to the cute little Qianqian soon...

The Great Purge commission includes 20 small strongholds, 5 medium-sized strongholds, and 2 large strongholds. The mission rewards are 8, 15, and 30 respectively, totaling 295 million.

He personally subsidized his team with 5 yuan, so that each member of the Eternal Life Team could receive a reward of 5 yuan.

Exactly 300.

We also have to give Laisheng Bar a 5% commission, which is 15.

He spent a full 315 million euros on this mission.

It’s really wasteful, but the effect should be good.

Open the public channel——

"L: I've called in the NCPD to clean up the mess. Everyone go home today and stay out of the spotlight. Remember to send the photos of the deceased to the administrator. I want to keep them for my enjoyment."

"L: I am very satisfied with this commission. The order is closed."

Transfer funds to captains' personal accounts.

Transfer money to the public account of the Afterlife Bar.

Transfer money to your friends' personal accounts.

Leo watched his wallet become thinner and thinner, and in return he received a series of flattery and words of thanks.

He asked Chunbai to continue monitoring the mercenaries he had worked with and find out their backgrounds so that he could choose reliable candidates to work with when he needed help in the future.

After the transfer, he sent a message to Mann, inviting them to a celebration party the next night.

The mission is now completely completed and you can go home and have a good rest.

woo woo woo woo--

The siren sound composed of high-frequency electronic pulses came from far away and then quickly faded away.

Looking at the NCPD police cars passing by, Leo closed his eyes comfortably.

*

The two cars behind turned right at the next intersection and gradually moved away from the criminals' bulletproof car in front.

Mann slapped the steering wheel hard, a smile on his face. "It seems that we have left a good impression on L. He invited us to attend the celebration party at his rented apartment tomorrow. In addition, the 15 has also arrived. The team has been established for so long, and it is finally getting on the right track."

Dolio put her hand on his strong arm, with a slightly odd expression on her face, "Maybe Rebecca left a good impression on him. I didn't expect that she had this ability to hook up with the young master after being alone for half an hour."

"Who says it's not true? If she can really hook up with someone of that level, she will be the captain in the future, hahaha!"

"You..." Dolio hesitated for a moment and persuaded, "I think L is much easier to get along with than that three-eyed man, and he is also generous. Why don't you change your allegiance and hang out with him?"

"Faraday..."

Mann's smile slowly faded when he thought of that extremely powerful middleman.

That person claims to be an independent, but in fact he works for the company secretly. Once you get involved, it's not easy to get rid of it.

Unless... involve L and let the two of them play the game.

While he was thinking, he distributed the remuneration to the team members according to the agreed proportions.

In the relatively shabby Hera family car in the back, Pyrrha received the transfer from the boss and danced with joy.

"Finally I have money—Ah-ho!"

He slapped the roof of the car with his extra-long arms, making a series of chaotic drum beats.

"I made a lot of money this time. It's enough to keep me happy for a while!"

Rebecca, who was lying in the back seat, was startled by the noise and came back to her senses from her thoughts.

"Asshole brother, be quiet! You are disturbing my thoughts!"

Pyrrha held the steering wheel with her left hand, and stretched her right hand back, hanging it in front of her sister with amazing flexibility - making a middle finger gesture!

"Are you thinking about how to get into the young master's bed? You're moving too fast, touching his butt already...Aren't you not interested in men?"

Rebecca silently reached out, grabbed his wrist with both hands, adjusted her posture, and pushed her feet against the back of the chair——

“Ahh, it hurts! Stop it! Oh, you’re going to dislocate my hand!!”

Before the bastard brother's arm was really dislocated, Rebecca mercifully stopped the punishment of pulling out the weeping willow tree.

"I'm just not interested in useless men. I'm very interested in good men who are rich, powerful, and willing to help me!"

"That L..." She paused, "Hold the steering wheel with both hands, don't be distracted, and be careful not to get into a car accident."

“Hiss—Ahh—”

Pika moved his painful right arm, and after a while he recovered and obediently held the steering wheel.

Rebecca adjusted her mood and said softly, "L, he is willing to help us investigate Dad's disappearance."

Chi-

There was a sharp sound of brakes.

Pyrrha was distracted for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she slammed on the brakes, almost causing a rear-end collision.

"What!?"

Rebecca sighed and put down her hands that were covering her ears. "You should watch less Mewtwo with colors. It was just your brain that didn't work well before, but why are your ears not working well now too?"

She raised her voice and repeated it again, causing Pyrrha's hands to tremble slightly.

"Is this true? He's not trying to steal your body, is he? Think about it, why would he help us for no reason?"

This was a smart statement. Rebecca retracted her fist that was hanging high above his head and said, "He didn't try to cheat me of my body. I offered it to him on my own initiative. I could see that he was a little interested in me, so I used myself as a bargaining chip and commissioned him to investigate the cause of my father's death."

Pyrrha stared at the steering wheel with dull eyes for a long time before asking, "Is it worth it?"

Click!

This is the sound of the gun safety being turned on.

Immediately, the muzzle of the thick shotgun was pressed against his head.

"If you dare to say that revenge for your father is not worth it, then I will have to make a hole in your head that was hollowed out by the Cybertron and let you go!"

Rebecca's suppressed growl came from his ears, her voice full of threats and intimidation.

But Pira, who has always been out of tune and full of trash talk, did not compromise this time.

"Dad must want us to live a good life instead of risking our lives to avenge him..."

The car fell into dead silence.

After a moment, Rebecca moved the gun away from his head.

"I know that if it's just the two of us going to investigate, we'll definitely be courting death. Even if we bring Mann and the others along, we'll probably only be able to barely save our lives. But L is different. He's not a low-level mercenary like us. He has the ability and channels to accomplish things that we can't do."

"You don't know, when he was doing a background check on Team Mann, he even found out about our experience of living on the streets and in a junked car..."

Pika was speechless. He would never forget the miserable experience during that period.

But it was a bit scary that other people knew about it. Their enemies couldn't find them, so how could L find out so easily...

First Show of Strength: Chapter 156 Leo: "The enemy is ashamed, I'll take off her clothes!"

"Anyway, the terms have been agreed upon. He will be responsible for investigating the truth of what happened and avenging my father. In return, I will be his woman and may leave the team in the future. I'm just telling you in advance, don't tell the captain and the others yet."

Rebecca sat back in the back seat and looked down at her beloved gun "Iron Courage" - if possible, she wanted to blow the head of the enemy who killed her father with her own hands!

Pila drove the car woodenly, but his inner conflict was still churning.

When the pain exceeded his limit, he asked again with a trembling voice: "Is it worth it? Risking everything for this may even lead to the loss of dignity and freedom. Dad... I hope we can live a good life..."

"Asshole brother, how long can you keep deceiving yourself..."

Rebecca leaned back in her seat and looked up at the rusted and cracked roof.

"I eat junk food every day, risk my life to complete all kinds of shabby commissions, but I can only get a salary that barely makes ends meet, and I can't even afford to rent a better apartment..."

"You call this 'life', but I think it's just surviving. Even if the Edgewalker team succeeds in infiltrating the top circle of the Afterlife Bar, we are just a group of high-level thugs. We might be wiped out at any time. If we continue like this, we will still be confused until the day we die, let alone avenge our father."
