From Gotham to Night City, my infamy is known to all.

After thinking it through, Leo stopped worrying about it.

After a while, a large truck drove into the garage.

The truck bears the logo of Trauma Team International.

After the vehicle came to a stop, several highly professional-looking trauma team members got out of the car, and the person in charge strode towards Leo.

"Hello Mr. Leonard! Thank you for purchasing Trauma Team's products again. We focus on high-end emergency medical services and are committed to ensuring the safety of every customer's life."

After a quick identity verification, the tablet was redirected to the payment page.

Leo examined the details carefully and found that the long list of charges ended with a total cost of 50 euros, with a three-year warranty and an annual renewal fee of 5 euros upon expiration.

At that price, why not just rob someone...?

Seemingly noticing his hesitation, the person in charge spoke very quickly as they introduced the situation:

"The specialized escape pods produced by the Trauma Team are equipped with state-of-the-art medical life support systems, including hemostatic nanorobots, organ stabilization devices, and other high-precision technologies, which can ensure your safety in any situation."

The escape pod has anti-jamming communication capabilities, allowing you to stay in real-time contact with rescue headquarters no matter where you are on Earth.

It also integrates carbon nanotube armor and a liquid metal buffer layer, which can effectively resist EMP, armor-piercing projectiles, explosions and fall impacts.

Equipped with miniature thrusters, AI-powered autonomous navigation, and escape route planning, it also features anti-hacking firewalls, optical camouflage, thermal shielding, an internal oxygen recirculation system, and miniature fusion batteries…

He spoke fluently and clearly, leaving Leo and V feeling dizzy. All they remembered was that this escape pod was incredibly awesome; whether in the deep sea or in space, it could guarantee the user's safety.

Chunbai also spoke up: "Ah, stop listening to his rambling. If we delay any longer, the receiving team will be back. I've already checked it out; that thing works great. Just pay them and let them leave!"

Leo obediently raised an arm, interrupting the person in charge's impromptu speech.

"Shut up! Take my money! Stop nagging!"

My wallet has shrunk by 50 euros.

After receiving the money, the trauma team members removed the escape pod, demonstrated how to use the miniature thrusters, and then ran away.

Watching the large truck disappear from sight in a flash, Leo had the illusion that they were scammers who had already completed their fraud and were making a quick getaway.

However, from another perspective, their efficiency is indeed very high...

dong dong——

A dull knocking sound came from behind.

Leo turned his head and saw V hammering and banging around a four-meter-high, circular life pod.

"Holy crap, this thing is so sturdy. I feel like even a charged shot from a high-powered weapon wouldn't be able to break through this lump of iron."

"That's right. This thing is specially designed for the wealthy to escape, and it's said to be able to protect the safety of people inside during a nuclear explosion."

Leo walked over and stroked the cold, rounded outer wall of the escape pod, his sense of security rising sharply.

With this thing, you can crawl inside in a crisis and at least get a chance to catch your breath.

With a sudden thought, he stored the escape pod in the singularity space, then walked to an open area, pushed off with his feet, and jumped up.

In V's view, after Leo jumped up, a black escape pod appeared out of thin air, obscuring his figure.

Then, the hatch on the side of the escape pod opened, and she saw Leo again—he was sitting calmly in the built-in seat with a bright smile on his face.

"V! Come on in and take a look, it's quite big in here!"

Upon hearing this, V followed him inside and discovered that the spherical escape pod was equipped with two comfortable reclining chairs and a high-tech medical pod that one could lie down in.

Moreover, the escape pods are equipped with built-in refrigerators, tablets, and other home appliances, and even a small bathroom, allowing people to live comfortably inside while waiting for rescue.

She walked around inside and found that three or four people could easily fit in if they squeezed in.

No wonder it's an escape pod exclusively for the wealthy; it's truly high-end.

Leo played a game with V for a while, "You jump, I jump too," practicing their life-saving skill of instantly entering the escape pod.

V was very satisfied with this: "Use this trick when you encounter danger in that world, but be careful here in Night City. Big corporations don't care about ethics, and they will do everything they can to capture you if they see your kind of subspace technology."

"I know, you can see I'm being secretive here, afraid to use this technology in front of outsiders."

"That's good."

The two stayed in the escape pod for a while longer until the novelty wore off, then returned to the garage.

After that, it was just a boring, repetitive process of receiving and delivering goods.

Fast forward to 4 PM, and the last batch of goods arrives. This batch is small and intended for use in Night City; it doesn't need to be stored in the spatial dimension.

Leo cheerfully served his friends cold drinks, claiming he had prepared a special reward for them!

Early Signs of Talent: Chapter 189 A Good Captain, Leo!

Two minutes later, the "reward" fell from the sky.

The resulting gust of air whipped up dust that filled the air, causing everyone to cover their mouths and noses.

It was a hovercar, with classic white paint and red warning lights, indicating its company—Trauma Team International (TTI).

[Boarding now, proceed with caution! Security procedures initiated. All team members, lower your weapons, do not disturb the customer.]

After the formulaic warning was given, the hovercraft came to a steady stop on the ground.

The hatch opened, and a well-trained four-person squad assembled in the open space.

The squad leader strode quickly toward the group, looking directly at Leonardo DiCaprio: "Hello, Mr. Leonardo, it's a pleasure to see you again."

His voice sounded somewhat familiar, and Leo quickly remembered the receptionist who had signed him up for the Platinum membership: "Oh, it's you, Chief EMT, Emergency Medical Technician, certified, right?"

“Yes, you have a good memory. It’s an honor that you remember me.” The squad leader bowed warmly to him and continued, “The Night City branch of the Trauma Team received your notification about registering members for their staff, so they sent our squad here. It’s a pleasure to see you again!”

Leo exchanged a few polite words with him before quickly getting to the point: "I need to get platinum memberships for my four employees. Let's get started on the application process."

"Understood, will process it for you immediately!"

The squad leader quickly glanced at the other four members of the Immortal Squad, his gaze soon settling on V's face.

"Hello, Miss Vivian. I remember you and Mr. Leonardo signed up for memberships together, I think it was a Gold membership?"

“Yes.” V replied succinctly.

"Okay, if you want to upgrade your membership, I need to re-check your real-time health data and personal account information. Of course, this will be done within the legal scope and will never infringe on your personal privacy."

V felt that his last statement was highly illegal, but that's how powerful big companies are; they even make the laws...

This unequal status has become the norm in Night City and even the world, so she didn't bother to think about it and quietly cooperated with the inspection.

The squad leader took out portable medical equipment from his backpack, and with the assistance of another medical technician, began to examine V's biomonitoring data.

Thanks to Vegeta's "technical disguise," they failed to see the V Gundam's two fully realized physical potentials.

Even so, the new biological monitoring technology from major brands still shows impressive figures of 16 for both physical potential and reaction potential.

Even more striking are the numerous combat prosthetics inside V's body.

Comparing the data with the previous one, the squad leader couldn't help but scratch his head... Unfortunately, he was wearing a fully enclosed helmet, so he could only scratch in vain.

“Miss Vivian… your physical condition is excellent, and the pain editor has been adjusted back to a relatively safe value.”

However… installing too many combat cybernetic devices in such a short period, especially the combination of S.A.S. and Krenchikov, has put a great strain on your body. Please carry immunosuppressants with you at all times. If you feel unwell, whether physically or mentally, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.”

"Um, um, I know, let's continue," V replied perfunctorily.

The squad leader didn't say anything more. After all, it was the client's freedom to choose what kind of prosthetic body to use. If something really went wrong... he could make a fortune!

Anyway, he reminded them, but the customer just wouldn't listen!

"Health data updated. Based on your personal account activity, you have been promoted to a high-net-worth client, and theoretically meet the eligibility requirements for purchasing a Platinum membership."

Upon hearing this, Leo felt a sense of familiar warmth—he really missed this way of speaking, which involved beating around the bush and playing word games.

He took the initiative to speak: "Theoretically it's possible, which means it's not actually possible. Just tell me, what went wrong this time?"

The team leader honestly replied, "It's the same problem. Miss Vivian has no formal job or fixed assets, and there is a risk that she will be unable to pay the consultation fees."

Leo waved his hand and said, "Didn't we talk about this last time? I'll act as the guarantor for the employees, and the medical insurance costs will be deducted directly from my account."

"Then there's no problem! We'll get it done right away!"

The team leader seemed to have been waiting for these words, and quickly processed V's platinum membership.

In fact, since receiving the notification to apply for membership, the finance staff has checked the cash flow of several applicants and found that they are all high-net-worth users with cash flow of more than 100,000 euros within 30 days.

But even more outrageous was the applicant Leonardo's account – with transactions reaching eight figures, leading finance staff to suspect he might be involved in money laundering.

However, an investigation revealed that he spent all his money on shopping sprees, with some of it going to large companies like Comto. And just today, he even purchased a private escape pod worth 50 yuan from the company itself.

Upon learning of this, senior management immediately decided to upgrade his group from the high-net-worth group to the wealthy group, making him a key target for monitoring.

With this super-rich tycoon as their guarantor, all four members of the Immortal Squad successfully became platinum members of the Trauma Group, becoming highly sought-after individuals who could "attract the Trauma Group even if they lost a hair."

Leo's account saw a withdrawal of 4.6 euros, which was negligible.

Later, the trauma group left behind four gleaming platinum membership cards and respectfully took their leave.

The distinctive whooshing sound of jet engines quickly faded into the distance, leaving behind a few people looking dazed.

Much later, Jack carefully slipped the tiny card into his pocket. "Damn, I can summon a trauma squad now. With this, if I accidentally get shot, a whole squad will come to my aid!"

"The trauma team is a medical team; fighting is just a side job."

V corrected his statement.

But everyone present knew that the combination of hovercars, machine guns, and smart weapons was more than capable of taking down any gang members or mercenaries, except for large corporations' combat squads.

Before we could exchange more than a few words, a beeping sound suddenly came from the garage door.

While the others were still wondering what was going on, Leo had already nimbly opened the electronic door and let the taxi in.

This driverless, bulletproof taxi is, of course, Delaman's private car.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, my most distinguished guest, Mr. Leonardo. Your garage is spacious, and the cars are excellent, but I must say, they don't drive themselves and still can't compare to Drummond's limousine!"

"Yes, yes, self-driving cars are really amazing!"

This wasn't a compliment; Leo genuinely envied Delaman Car Rental and even harbored the idea of ​​making a fortune and acquiring it to build his own logistics network.

Of course, that's for the future; let's focus on the present first.

“Delaman, I want to buy the Excellence Package for all my employees, and also link future travel expenses to my account for joint expenditure.”

On the screen, Dalaman immediately flashed a bright smile: "Thank you for your support. It's an honor to have a customer like you. VIPs who need to subscribe to packages, please connect to your personal network in an orderly manner."

Compared to the trauma group, Delaman's group didn't have as much trouble; the purchase was completed quickly after verifying his identity information.

Leo's account saw a withdrawal of 2 euros, which was negligible.

"Thank you again for your support, dear guests. Choose Drumman, and leave your worries at the door!"

Upon learning that they did not need a taxi at the moment, Delaman drove away quickly.

Leo turned to face his teammates:

"This is your reward for the delivery. From now on, if anyone goes out alone, remember to choose Delaman's car first. With him driving, you can fight back or call for backup if there's an emergency. Don't take it lightly; V and I went for a drive yesterday and both ran into a cyber lunatic..."

Everyone felt a heartfelt warmth as they watched Leo speak eloquently.

You probably won't find many captains in Night City who genuinely care about their teammates like this!

First Glimpse of Talent: Chapter 190 Final Preparations Before the Operation

The Immortal Squad has taken another step towards truly living up to its name.

But their opponents also became more powerful, evolving from cleaners to gangsters, and then from gangsters to large corporations.

There was even a skipping step, excluding those insignificant small companies.

"Tonight's target is a biotechnology company—an undeniably massive behemoth with a global reach. We must be extremely cautious during the operation and absolutely avoid being detected."

Leo's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.

"Now, everyone go home and recharge. Remember to go into the team channel, review the game several times, and be prepared to deal with any unexpected changes."

"oh--!"

Back home, Leo and V sat together on the sofa, snuggling close together.
