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

V looked at his skin up close and couldn't help but sigh,

"It's delicate and fair, without a single scratch. You've taken good care of your skin. I think even the top stars in Genting can't compare to you."

Leo couldn't just ignore such outrageous remarks.

He glared at V.

Unfortunately, she was not afraid at all.

V's fingertips roamed generously over his body, quickly checking the red and swollen areas.

"It's okay, just a little bruise, apply some medicine and it will be fine tomorrow."

"I am not clean anymore..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't take off your pants. Look at you being so pretentious."

The street girl V didn't blush or feel nervous. She pressed his abdomen and chest generously, then stood up and commented:

"Your body fat percentage is okay, but your muscle percentage is too low. It's obvious that you haven't trained. If you want to get stronger quickly, you'd better go to the gym or just install some subcutaneous armor."

Leo put on his clothes with a resentful look on his face and took out the family medicine box from the drawer of the coffee table.

"Help me see what medicine can speed up recovery."

"You don't need any of these." V pushed open the medicine box and took out an inhaler from the drawer. "Use this to treat type 1. Long press once to use up a bottle, short press can be used three times. In your case, short press will do."

"Are you sure... woo!"

Before he could finish his words, the bottle of Qinglizhi had been stuffed into his mouth by V.

"Short press, hold your breath for five seconds after inhaling."

Suck--

Leo had no choice but to do as she said.

The taste of Qinglizhi is... no taste. After inhaling it, my mouth feels cold and a bit comfortable.

After taking the medicine, he soon felt less pain in his body, perhaps due to a psychological effect.

Putting the unused medicine back, he stood up and stretched his body. "I feel a little better. I have to take a shower. I'm all sweaty."

V helped him put the medicine box back in place and leaned back on the sofa, relaxing.

"Well, go ahead. I need to clean up the training grounds and order dinner."

Leo turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he was stunned: it felt like their conversation had a lot of life in it, just like a couple living together...

He wanted to look back at V's expression, but he only saw her back as she hurried away.

Damn, she's too alert...

After taking a shower and eating, one of them surfed the Internet while the other watched TV, ending Pingping's boring day.

Before going to bed, Leo said to V: "I've decided where to meet Miss Hacker tomorrow. I'm going to the afterlife!"

"Ah!?" V showed a rare look of surprise, "Are you sure? Can we get in?"

"The mountain man has his own clever plan, just wait and see!"

Leo kept the question in suspense and walked back to the second floor confidently.

Before going to bed, he sent Jack a text message:

[Leo: Jack, let's go out together tomorrow. I'll take you to a nice place! ]

【Jack: Okay, where to? 】

[Leo: Afterlife Bar! ]

【Jack: Awesome! See you there! 】

*

2076 2 Month 21 Day.

Leo was awakened by the alarm clock. After opening his eyes, he thought of something, closed his eyes again and looked to the upper right corner.

[3 days, 09:10:21]

I can stay in Night City for three more days before I have to go back to Gotham...

He suddenly didn't want to go back. There were V, Jack, and Lao Wei here, but what was there over there?

There's Batman... and a whole host of super villains.

Come to think of it, Night City isn't that bad...

[Pure White, make finding a way to control time travel your primary goal.]

[I understand. I suggest that after you make money in DC, you build an IDC (Internet Data Center) for me there to enhance my computing power.]

[Okay, if Batman doesn't pay, I'll rob a bank! ]

[If you are not afraid of attracting the attention of those superheroes, I can actually get a lot of money through hacking. Gotham's network technology is far less powerful than 2077. ]

Leo was distracted, he didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

Just jot it down, just in case it comes in handy...

Get up, wash up, and have breakfast.

Jack arrived early and knocked on the security door loudly.

When Leo opened the door, he saw him wearing the handsome black leather jacket he wore at the beginning of the game, with a golden cross hanging around his neck, and the thick chain was obviously made of pure copper!

This is obviously dressed up.

"That's a cool outfit, Jack."

Leo gave him a friendly fist bump.

"Of course you will." Jack walked in with a crab-like gait, "You have to wear your best clothes when you go to the afterlife!"

He was absolutely right, V on the sofa was also wearing her favorite battle suit.

Leo... Well, he appears as a middleman this time, so of course he has to wear that handsome silver-gray bulletproof suit!

The three of them dressed properly and walked out in a swagger.

Leo is not afraid today. There is V Zhentian on the left and Jack on the right. He is also wearing a bulletproof vest. The ones he should be afraid of are the natives of Night City.

As expected, although passers-by still looked at him secretly, they all stayed away from him as far as possible, not wanting to conflict with this group of guys who looked like they were not easy to deal with.

Soon after, Delaman's special car arrived and they officially set off -

To the afterlife!

Nobody: Chapter 49 "I'm the new middleman, you can call me L."

Leo and V sat in the back row.

Of course, a big guy like Jack could only sit in the passenger seat.

As soon as he got in the car, he looked around and exclaimed, "Damn, is this an armored car? Are taxis this advanced now?"

"Thank you for your recognition. Delaman Car is committed to providing the best service to every customer. Choose Delaman and leave your worries at home."

Delaman's head suddenly appeared on the car screen and began to read the advertising slogan.

When Jack learned that this was an unmanned vehicle driven by AI and heard about its achievements from V, he was immediately amazed:

"With driverless taxis, drivers will be laid off. I say, Delaman, can your car handle singles parties? I have a nephew who finally found a suitable partner."

"Unfortunately, we do not undertake this type of business."

"Don't be so rigid. Why not make money if you have it? Decorate the outside of your car with some fake flowers to make it more festive. I guarantee you'll make more money than driving a taxi!"

"Your suggestion has been recorded for future reference."

Leo looked at Jack who was chatting enthusiastically with Delaman, and he was indeed a little impressed - the ability to be sociable and get along with everyone is also a skill.

After a while of distraction, Delaman's special car had already driven onto the cross-sea bridge, leaving the bustling company square behind.

On the other side of the bridge is the Watson District.

The famous Afterlife Bar is not far from the bridge exit, and maintains a subtle distance from the heart of Night City, the Civic Center.

After getting out of the car, Jack's eyes immediately turned to the parking space next to him.

"The Type 66 'Northwest Wind' is regarded by many as the sexiest car in terms of appearance."

"Thrace 388 Jefferson, an armored vehicle, fully bulletproof. This thing is the heaviest and thickest of all vehicles allowed on the road, a real 'lump of iron'."

"They are all great cars. Those who can go to the next life are indeed the most awesome people!"

Leo took a look and found that the two cars were indeed good. "Not bad, Jack. Are you so familiar with vehicles?"

"That's what men do. Guns, guns and horses. The name of this program encompasses several of my favorite things. However, I still prefer motorcycles. They are more flexible and exciting."

Listening to the two of them chatting, V thought of his 18-hand Hera.

In her opinion, a car is just a means of transportation. It would be good if it has bulletproof function, but as for the rest...it's just so-so.

She couldn't understand how the two men felt when their eyes lit up at the luxury car.

"Stop looking. You two are like car thieves. Don't you see the bodyguards watching the car are staring at you..."

Jack looked back carelessly and raised his chin to the strange bodyguard.

"What are you afraid of? I don't believe anyone dares to come here to steal cars. Do you think those middlemen and top mercenaries sitting inside are just for show?"

"I tell you—"

Jingle bells, jingle bells…

Jack was interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.

He took out his smartphone and his smile suddenly faded: "My mom..."

After saying that, he ran aside to make a phone call.

"Mom... um... um, I know. I'm not fooling around. I'm just hanging out with friends. Um... it's Leo and V, you've met them. ... Ah, um, yes, yes..."

In just a few words, he brought the meaning of doing things perfunctorily to life.

After finishing the call, Jack came back and sighed to the two of them: "My mom is always worried that I will hang out with gang members again. I've already told her that after I quit the gang, I won't hang out with gang members anymore. But she just worries about nothing..."

V looked at him and suddenly smiled. "If you ask me, Mrs. Wells's worries are right. Given your family's situation, you can quit the gang if you want. As long as your family is still running the bar, you are tied to the Valentino Gang, and we are all on the same side."

"Fuck... who said it wasn't true? Oh, forget it, let's not talk about this, it will ruin my good mood."

Jack didn't want to talk about gangs anymore, and beckoned the two of them to walk towards the gate of the afterlife.

Leo quietly wrote down this information and followed them forward.

The Afterlife Bar is indeed one of the most famous places in Night City. It is a stand-alone building with no other small shops around it.

Before entering the door, he temporarily stopped the two of them and walked towards the row of vending machines next to him.

"What are you buying? Bring your own drink in, or you'll get hit by the bartender."

"Screw you, I'll buy something else."

Leo ignored V's teasing and found what he wanted among the various products.

【Blank money chips, in various sizes, prices range from 5 to 50 euros. The product description says: bearer, no report of loss, guarantee that the note can't track you down. No matter if it's money laundering, tax evasion, bribery or anything else, just buy it, brother! 】

"That's a pretty bold slogan."

Leo complained and bought two money chips with the largest denomination of 1000, which cost him 20 euros.

"Why did you buy this? Are you trying to bribe the security guard to let us in?"

V was speechless.

Leo was even more speechless than her: "Look at your lack of ability. This is the territory of the old United States after all. I have to give a tip when I ask someone to do something for me."

He filled the two chips and put them in his pocket.

"Okay, let's go in."

The trio continued forward and soon descended the steps.
