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

Tonight's operation was very important, and he didn't dare to distract V at this time, so he pulled her into the team channel together.

After a few minutes, everyone arrived, and Chunbai began to review the action plan.

Leo has already decided on the general direction of the infiltration operation into the biotechnology building; now, the detailed steps are being broken down.

Pure White bought a shallow architectural structure map, and even a panoramic map, from the black market.

The obvious signs of splicing indicate that this material was filmed collaboratively by multiple "voyeurs," using an implant similar to the one used to record Mewtwo.

Sasha: The editing is pretty rough; a lot of people were left out. I guess it was during a recent big company visit day, and some 'tourists' who wanted to make a quick buck sneaked in for a quick look.

"Jack: These lunatics, if they get caught by a big company, they'll be in jail for at least a few months."

"Sasha: The number of visitors on the day is in the thousands. As long as we make counter-surveillance arrangements in advance, even a large company may not be able to catch them all. Besides, this is a lower floor that is open to the public, so there is nothing confidential about it."

"Pure White: No idle chatter, let's look at the infiltration route first."

The crowd's gaze shifted to the outside of the building, where they saw the familiar company plaza, with its two enormous koi fish that were frequent guests on television programs.

A few seconds later, all other scenes were blurred, leaving only the biotechnology building as a solid entity.

On the map, three red lines appear out of nowhere, winding along the sidewalk and leading into the building from three different entrances.

"Pure White: These are the three routes to enter the building. Considering that entering through the main entrance is too risky, there are only two actual options: the back alley freight passage and the employee passage."

The former's entrance is located in a concealed unloading area on the northeast side of the building. It requires cracking an electronic lock to open the warehouse door, and the interior contains numerous security robots and motion sensors. Its advantage is that it allows entry without the main security system, enabling the carrying of small arms.

The latter had three entrances/exits; I chose the south entrance, which was reserved for junior staff. This entrance was equipped with high-precision security scanners, and carrying any external weapon would trigger an alarm. The advantage was that there were only a few surveillance cameras, allowing me to easily bypass the shadowed area.

"V: Select the employee lane! I have Sinwistan and the Mantis Blade, enough to deal with most enemies!"

"Sasha: I agree with V's point of view. I also have the alloy cat claw implant specially provided by Dangerous Girl, which gives me some close combat ability."

As she spoke, she posted a picture.

The picture shows her small, slender right hand, with sharp metal claws several centimeters long extending from her fingertips, just like a cat extending its claws hidden in its paw pads.

Leo nodded silently—as expected of a catgirl, it's perfectly reasonable for her to have sharp claws.

"Pure White: Since the two infiltrators agree, the route is set. In my opinion, the combination of V and Sasha is sufficient to handle the small number of guards outside the core layer."

In the event of unforeseen circumstances, I will launch a high-intensity DDoS attack on the biotechnology's main security system, which should at least cripple the security system and all its devices for a period of time.

With the route of operation determined, the next step is the internal infiltration route.

With the help of a panoramic map, the locations of most of the surveillance equipment were marked in pure white, allowing the infiltration team to plan several routes of action.

"Pure White: During the security system update and maintenance period, there will still be a small number of drones and security robots patrolling the office area. You need to be flexible and try not to be discovered."

V: Don't worry, I can tell where those things are even from a hundred meters away!

Sasha: I'm fine too. I'm very good at stealth, so I'll make sure I'm not detected.

"Pure White: That's good. I've sent you the data on the infiltration operations. Review it several times to make sure you understand it thoroughly. Next is the arrangement of the external support forces—"

The view returned to the company square, where the previously blurred road lit up, displaying virtual images of a car and a motorcycle.

"Pure White: Considering that the primary objective after a failed infiltration is evacuation, not combat, Vera will be driving an inconspicuous Thrace 388 Jefferson this time. It's slow to accelerate, but Vera's driving skills will compensate for that. Leo will accompany Vera; your smart weapons will be invaluable in the vehicle chase."

Jack, as part of the mobile unit, pretends to stroll around the company square on his motorcycle. I'll tell you the operation plan when we need you to be deployed.

As the operation commander, I'll be providing central support and overseeing all network-related tasks. That's the arrangement for the Immortal Squad. As for Mann's squad, I've already made arrangements in advance; in the event of combat, they'll help create chaos and assist our evacuation.

"Leo: The plan is perfect. Now it's time to see how it goes. Everyone get ready and meet at my apartment at 6:30 tonight. If you have any questions, ask Chunbai. Meeting adjourned."

Leo turned off the screen on his retina, stretched, and hugged V tightly: "There are still two hours before the assembly time. Go back to your room and rest."

V nodded and kissed him on the cheek: "I'm not tired, but I should go back and lie down for a while to recharge. I'll go back to my room now and come out to make dinner at six."

Leo released her, watched her stand up, and suddenly said, "I'll cook tonight. It's good that we shouldn't eat too much before the operation, so even if it's not cooked well, it won't have a big impact."

"Are you... sure you can do it?"

V had some doubts about his cooking skills because he used to only make cold dishes and fruit salads, which were all dishes that didn't require much skill.

Leo nodded: "I have a secret weapon! Anyway, you go and rest, leave the rest to me!"

"That's fine then..."

V tossed her hair and walked away with light steps.

Chi-

The electric gate closed.

Leo stood up abruptly and walked towards the kitchen.

Although he said it was no problem, he was actually not very confident and thought it best to prepare in advance.

After setting the cutting board down, he used his consciousness to search through the singularity space and finally found the wondrous tool he had bought at the supermarket—

Kung Pao Chicken seasoning, Mapo Tofu seasoning, Sour Soup Beef seasoning...

That's right, it's one of those pre-packaged seasoning packets from the supermarket, which he specifically bought from a Chinese supermarket.

Let these cyberpunks see the technology and ruthlessness of 2010!

First Glimpse of Talent: Chapter 191 (V): "Put on a suit and comb your hair like a corporate dog..."

The team members arrived at 6:15 p.m. ahead of schedule.

Everyone was curious about the strange smell that filled the living room.

Sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, chili, pepper... the flavors of various seasonings are mixed together, with a faint caramelized aroma, creating an indescribably strange taste.

But I must say, it smells quite nice, making my mouth water.

In the kitchen, Leo cast a grateful glance at V—he had originally thought this kind of foolproof dish would be easy to make, so he wanted to use two pots at the same time to cook two dishes, but he didn't expect to almost burn the pots.

Fortunately, the kind-hearted V arrived just in time and saved his Kung Pao Chicken...

Since all the ingredients and seasonings were prepared in advance, even V, who knew nothing about Chinese cuisine, was able to manage to cook a few dishes.

The two of them worked together to bring seven or eight Chinese dishes to the table.

Leo looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"These are Chinese dishes. Although they're not exactly authentic, they should taste pretty good. Let's eat!"

He used a serving spoon to scoop a spoonful of Kung Pao Chicken, placed it on top of the white rice, and tasted it.

It has a sweet and sour taste with a moderate saltiness, but the chicken thigh meat was slightly overcooked.

The taste was so-so, not as good as a professional chef's skills, but the use of natural ingredients was a plus, and it could be considered a high-end Chinese restaurant in Night City.

Everyone joined in and started eating, praising his culinary skills.

Considering the important operation that evening, everyone only ate until they were about 70% full before putting down their chopsticks.

After clearing the table, Leo began to check on the team members' condition.

The three people responsible for providing support off the field were, of course, armed to the teeth, carrying every weapon they could find.

Jack also wore a wig and made some other disguises so that people wouldn't recognize him at a glance.

Leo and Vera also put on bulletproof vests and prepared hoods to conceal their identities.

The two men in charge of the covert operations were dressed more casually.

Since they needed to enter through the employee entrance, Chunbai advised them to dress like office workers. That way, even if passersby saw them from afar, it wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Since they couldn't bring weapons, the two opted for a casual and fashionable style.

Sasha wore a form-fitting leather jumpsuit that allowed for easy movement. The outfit was a deep purple and very figure-hugging, highlighting her beautiful curves. She also wore a cropped vest in a soft pink color that complemented her fair skin.

Her outfit received unanimous praise; everyone thought she looked like a stylish and glamorous office worker.

Only Leo frowned slightly, not because the outfit was unattractive, but because it was "inauspicious"—it was the same outfit she wore in the original storyline.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"

Sasha noticed his expression and hesitated before looking down at her own attire.

This is her usual outfit when working as a dangerous girl, which combines functionality and aesthetics. Combined with her own beauty, she doesn't look out of place in any setting.

Why does Leo look like he doesn't like it...?

"It's nothing, it just feels like the defensive performance is a bit lacking. Let's get a few combat suits with bulletproof features custom-made in the future."

Leo naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he made up an excuse to cover it up.

With the invincible V-Zhentian accompanying Sasha this time, the tragedy from the original story is sure to be avoided.

His gaze shifted to the right, looking towards V's room door.

She was wearing casual clothes while cooking, saying she needed to go back and change into a set of clothes for action, and that she should be done soon.

Chi-

Electric gate opening and closing.

V makes a dazzling appearance in his classic battle suit!

Leo rolled his eyes and sighed heavily: "V...do you have some kind of misunderstanding about office workers? Have you ever seen an office worker wearing a mercenary-style combat uniform?"

V scratched his head awkwardly: "Of course I know what kind of clothes office workers usually wear, but I don't have any in my closet..."

Leo stood up and walked helplessly toward the door: "Forget it, come with me. There's a high-end clothing store downstairs. Hurry up and buy a suitable outfit. Your outfit is too conspicuous in the company square; it won't be convenient for you to sneak in secretly."

V hesitated for a moment, then jogged to catch up with him.

The other members exchanged glances and wisely stayed in the living room to chat, avoiding becoming third wheels.

Only Sasha's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment as she silently decided to change her clothing style from now on, not knowing which style he would prefer...

*

Fifteen minutes later, the two returned safely.

V changed into a starry black women's casual suit and carried a stylish handbag, looking somewhat like a female white-collar worker.

Vera looked her up and down a few times and said softly, "You look very good, but your expression is a little stiff and unnatural."

V awkwardly tugged at the hem of his shirt and adjusted his sleeves: "I don't like suits, even casual ones aren't as convenient for movement as sportswear."

“That’s obvious, short sleeves and shorts are the most convenient for exercise.” Leo circled around V and even adjusted her collar. “Hmm… this outfit is definitely fine, it’s just that it doesn’t quite suit your style. Right, how about we try this? V, put on a serious face and project an imposing aura.”

"Awesome without anger? It sounds simple, but how exactly do you do it?" V asked, puzzled.

Leo quickly thought and rearranged his words: "It's like being a little angry, but holding back, and in a state where you can't stand anyone."

"..."

V looked completely bewildered.

Leo sighed again, "Fine, I'll help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his right fist and delivered two powerful punches to V's waist.

Being hit for no reason, V's eyebrows stood up uncontrollably, and his expression showed some displeasure.

Why did you hit me? Did you want to get hit?

"Ah, right, right, that's the expression." Leo interrupted, "Remember this feeling of being a little angry, but not really angry. To someone who doesn't know the situation, this expression is very intimidating, like a strict and domineering female boss!"

"Yeah?"

V's anger was interrupted, and he subconsciously reached up to scratch his head.

Leo slapped her hand away and warned, "Your hair has been sprayed with hairspray, don't touch it."

This is the hairstyle that V specifically asked the sales assistant to style when she bought the suit. It has a meticulous and rigorous beauty.

V felt uncomfortable all over, as if ants were crawling on his back.

Leo, however, was quite pleased with her outfit. He had personally chosen it for V, intending to divert attention—if the operation failed, someone could use V's current appearance to investigate, and who knows who they might find out.

It would be great if biotechnology and Arasaka were to fight each other!

He looked around the room again to make sure everyone was ready, and announced loudly, "Operation infiltration of the biotechnology building is officially beginning! Everyone to your positions, move out immediately!"

The members of the Immortal Squad stood up silently, each with a face full of fighting spirit.

Sasha, in particular, not only had fighting spirit, but her eyes also shone with a light called determination.
