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

Logically, this shouldn't be the case. According to the universally accepted standard, an IQ of 3 is considered normal, and an IQ of 5 is already considered quick-witted among ordinary people. If one successfully completes university studies, their IQ should develop to around 10, which is enough to become a junior employee in a large company.

Judging from V's life experience of living on the streets since she was twelve, she didn't receive much education. Her IQ of 5 points indicates that she was born very smart... So why didn't she study hard?

If you could see the answer to a multiple-choice question at a glance, would you still bother thinking about it?

The pure white words struck Leo's mind like a bolt of lightning, making him suddenly realize the truth.

Yes!

V may rely too much on her super intuition. If she could "see" the answer and make the best choice without having to think, then the thought process could be automatically omitted.

Although it might seem like she's somewhat resigned to her fate, she appears to be doing much better than the other street mercenaries.

Once he understood the reason, he looked at V, who was burying her head in her fruit like a hamster, and he felt relieved—V wasn't stupid, she simply gave up thinking and acted on instinct.

That's a talent, and he definitely can't learn it.

As he looked at her, he thought... V might not be very smart, but she's beautiful!

That's good enough; having amazing intuition is already difficult enough. If someone has amazing intuition and exceptional intelligence, then the difficulty level will be doubled.

Being a little slow isn't so bad...

While eating, V endured his ever-changing gaze. There were a few moments when she really wanted to flip the table and stand up.

Unfortunately, perhaps because of the alcohol, my mind was foggy and I couldn't get angry.

The living room was quiet for a moment.

Looking at V, whose face was flushed and who seemed a little drunk, Leo's mind started to wander again: If he got V drunk now, and then carried her back to her own bed and tucked her in with a blanket, could he create the image of an ideal man and make her fall in love with him?

It seems feasible. V drank much more than him just now, and I feel like he'd be passed out after a few more drinks.

His eyes darted furtively towards the wine bottles on the table, and he said softly, "V, I forgot just now, wine needs to be decanted. Look at those bottles that have already been opened, they should taste even better now."

He poured a glass of V's favorite rosé wine and placed it in front of her.

This wine is sweet and has a pink color, giving it a very youthful feel.

V swallowed the strawberry in her mouth, glanced at the wine glass, then at his face, "You want to get me drunk? Tch, I get flushed easily when I drink, but I've never been drunk before."

She snatched the bottle, poured herself another glass, and slammed it in front of Leo.

The glass clinked softly against the table.

"If you want to get me drunk, you'll have to drink too. Come on, I'd like to see who collapses first!"

The heartwarming scene I had envisioned turned into a drinking contest, leaving Leo somewhat hesitant.

"What, you don't dare?" V asked mockingly.

"Who said that! You're really underestimating people!"

Leo was furious. A man can't say "I dare not," just like he can't say "I can't!"

Drink it!

After downing a glass of wine, V's face seemed to turn even redder; he had a significant advantage!

After two glasses of wine, V's face seemed even redder; he had a significant advantage!

After three drinks, V's complexion seemed... unchanged? No problem, he felt fine, and had a significant advantage!

After four drinks, V...V started to shake. She couldn't even sit still and started swaying wildly. She was about to win!

After five drinks, haha, V is about to collapse! She even hit her head on the ceiling!

Six glasses of wine down...

*

The next morning.

Leo woke up from his bizarre dream and stared blankly at the ceiling.

who am I?

where am I?

The familiar ceiling... that's right, it's an apartment!

Leo struggled to sit up, wincing involuntarily at the slight headache caused by his hangover.

Seemingly hearing him get up, V came upstairs with a glass of water in her hand.

"Warm water and hangover medicine, take them quickly. Today is March 3rd, you have to go to Arasaka Academy for the opening ceremony."

"March 3rd... Ah!!"

Leo's head suddenly started hurting even more.

I was so excited when I got back last night that I forgot about it.

I quickly took the pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and drank half a glass of water with each meal. The sticky feeling in my throat finally eased.

He threw off the covers and immediately got up.

however,

"Ah—!" he screamed a second time, "Where are my clothes!?"

"You, you...me!?"

I quickly checked him over—his upper body was naked, but his lower body was fine; he was still wearing boxer shorts.

wrong!

Damn it, why is he still wearing clothes!

The effects of the hangover were still lingering, leaving his mind somewhat foggy.

Holding his head in his hands, he recalled that he had a drinking contest with V last night, and it seemed he had lost.

Then, V… she took her script, carried herself back to bed, covered herself with the blanket, oh no, she even took off her clothes!

Yes, that's right, that should be it, the fragments of memory have been pieced together.

You should write it down—

"I'm not clean anymore...you have to take responsibility for me!"

Leo continued acting out the melodramatic love story, but unfortunately, V wouldn't cooperate...

Not only did she not cooperate, she also rolled her eyes: "Stop messing around. I saw you were drunk and rolled on the ground, and I kindly helped you take off your dirty coat. How can you turn around and bite me?"

It's 7 o'clock now, and the opening ceremony is at 9 o'clock. Don't blame me if you're late.

V turned and left without hesitation.

This heartless woman...

Leo wallowed in self-pity for a few seconds, then quickly got up and rushed into the bathroom.

After showering, brushing his teeth, and fixing his hair, he looked in the mirror at the handsome, well-proportioned man with six-pack abs, looking incredibly stylish.

I was very puzzled—

How did V manage to resist pouncing on him?

This is so disappointing...

It was almost 7:30, so he changed into the plain-colored casual clothes he had bought specifically for school, and he already looked like a student.

"V, what do you think of my outfit?"

Just as animals display their feathers to attract mates, he should also show off his carefully groomed and dashing appearance.

V glanced at him and said, "Pretty good. He looks like a rich young master. Be careful not to get robbed while walking alone on the street."

"Hmph, you're just jealous of me!"

Leo already liked V's stubborn way of speaking and didn't care about it at all.

The two ate some of the food Leo brought back, the only regret being that the food was all cold.

Singularity space can prevent food from rotting, but it cannot keep it warm.

After finishing his meal, Leo glanced at the notice sent by Arasaka Academy and confirmed that today's schedule only included the opening ceremony, and that classes would end at 11:00 a.m. He then hurriedly sent out invitations to the guests.

This should have been done yesterday. It's all V's fault. She could have just pretended to be drunk. What an insensitive woman!

First Glimpse of Talent: Chapter 92 V: "I've never seen the world..."

When inviting guests, the first group to go is naturally your friends.

Leo: Jack, Sasha, come to my house for lunch at one o'clock today. Jack, please invite your mother for me, it's about that big deal we talked about last time.

Sasha: Received =^oωo^="

Jack: No problem, leave it to me, Mano!

With this side settled, the next tasks are Old Vi and Misty.

Leo remembered that the last time he went to the clinic with V, old V had just gotten up. He was getting old, so he asked Misty to contact him.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

After waiting for about ten seconds, the call was connected.

"Hi Leo, good morning, what's up so early?"

Leo organized his thoughts: "Good morning, Misty. I went back to my country last week and brought back some local specialties. Would you be so kind as to invite you and Old Vince to lunch? It's at one o'clock in the afternoon. Oh, by the way, members of our team and Jack's mother, Mrs. Wells, will also be there."

"You still speak so formally, like someone from high society. Well, since it's an invitation, I'll go and bask in your company."

"Then it's settled. By the way, could you please invite Old Wei for me? I think he might not be awake yet, but I have to attend the opening ceremony of Arasaka Academy later."

"no problem."

"See you at noon, Misty."

After hanging up the phone, Leo stretched.

Great, half the task is complete. The other half will now be handed over to V.

"V, can you cook?"

"what?"

"Nothing too complicated, just simple home-style dishes will do. I brought back all sorts of good ingredients, so I have to show them what I can do."

“Uh…” V hesitated for a moment, “Well… okay, I can cook Mexican and Cuban food, but they’re all very home-style.”

"Home-style dishes are fine, after all, it's a family dinner!"

Leo deliberately used some ambiguous words, and seeing that V didn't object, he felt secretly pleased.

With persistence and subtle influence, V will eventually accept the concept that the two are family.

He turned and walked to the elevator, activating the house control panel.

When he first moved in, he had read the rental agreement and various manuals and knew that this kind of high-end apartment offered customized housing services.

"V, come take a look. Pick a kitchen template that you like. Let's remove that pool table that no one plays with and replace it with a kitchen. I bought a lot of fresh ingredients. We'll cook for ourselves from now on."

"So, I've gone from being your bodyguard to your chef again?"

V walked over and looked at kitchen templates in various decorating styles.

Leo said nonchalantly, "Actually, I can also order simple Chinese dishes, like scrambled eggs with tomatoes or Kung Pao chicken. I'll make them for you to try when I have time."

"..."

V paused for a moment for some reason, and then quickly recovered just before he looked over.

"Okay... let's choose the kitchen first."

After careful selection and consideration of various factors, they chose a Western-style kitchen template, which included all the necessary furniture such as a refrigerator, stove, cabinets, and knives.

The pool table can be used as part of the price, and with an additional 2500 euros, the entire kitchen furniture set can be purchased.

"The furniture is all ready-made, and they promised to come and install it within two hours. The installation only takes one hour, which is very efficient." Leo looked at the text message that was sent instantly after payment.

V, however, didn't think much of it: "As long as you're willing to spend the money, Night City is always very efficient."

"Okay, you don't need to take me today. Just wait at home for the installation to come. Oh, and I'll put the groceries in your room first, so the renovation workers won't have any ideas."
