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

The wanderer V was stunned the moment she saw her... It was so similar. If it weren't for the difference in temperament and hair color, she would have almost thought she was looking in a mirror.

The two have facial features that are almost identical; apart from some differences in makeup, they look strikingly similar from any angle.

"I am V...and who are you?"

Street girl V got angry: "You dare to impersonate me right in front of me? You don't know what death means! Let me show you my fist first, and see if your mouth is tougher than my fist!"

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Leo quickly stepped forward, grabbed V's waist, and pulled her back: "V, wait a minute, calm down, it's not too late to fight after we've finished asking the questions!"

First Glimpse of Talent: Chapter 110 The Friendly Vera

"She dared to use my code name right in front of me, and you're telling me to calm down?!"

V struggled violently, her elbows nearly striking Leo several times, but she managed to control herself.

"Let me go! After I knock her to the ground and stomp on her a few times, I'll calm down!"

Of course, Leo wouldn't listen to her and used all his strength to drag V back.

To prevent the situation from escalating, he shouted at the blond vagrant V, "There might be some misunderstanding here. Anyway, give me your real name and tell me where you're from."

This request might be offensive to the local mercenaries of Night City, and could even provoke hostility.

But V, the homeless woman radiating maternal warmth, only glanced at the still struggling and noisy street girl V a few times before calmly introducing herself:

“My name is Vera, from a disbanded, no-name no longer needed no mention of no wanderer family. V is the first letter of my name, so I’ve been using this code name for over a decade.”

Upon hearing these words, Leo felt V's struggle lessen somewhat, and his rapid breathing calmed down.

"You...you said...hoohoo..."

V seemed to be about to accuse her of lying, but then stopped.

Leo quickly realized that it was her extraordinary intuition that had worked, detecting the truth like a lie detector.

So... Vera wasn't lying; her usual code name is also V.

Jack and Sasha acted as onlookers, watching the magical scene unfold before them with unwavering eyes.

Two Vs!

Exactly the same V!

That was so exciting!!

V took a breath and changed his attack direction: "Even if your codename is also V, you shouldn't be imitating my face! What are you trying to do by getting plastic surgery to look like me!"

Vera observed her features hesitantly—they were indeed very similar, but there were still slight differences.

"My blonde hair is natural, your hair color should be black, and I haven't had any plastic surgery, this is my natural appearance."

Seemingly to enhance her persuasiveness, she even took out an old phone, opened an encrypted image library, and handed it over directly.

V took the phone with a puzzled look, glanced at it, and froze.

Leo was right behind V, and he took the opportunity to rest his chin on her head and look at the phone screen together.

The phone screen, riddled with cracks, displayed a photo of Vera standing on a golden sand dune, smiling happily.

As they flipped through the photos, more pictures appeared before them. The further they flipped, the more youthful Vera looked, maintaining her current appearance.

Flipping to the very front, V saw a girl named Vera who looked to be eleven or twelve years old. Her face was exactly the same as V's when she was a child, leaving V completely dumbfounded.

Vera wasn't lying, that's what she looks like, but how could that be...?

I've heard that saying many times: "No two leaves in the world are exactly alike. How could you possibly look exactly like me?"

“The hair color is different…” Vera was still trying to explain, her attitude surprisingly friendly.

V gritted his teeth, his mind a complete mess. The sudden appearance of another person so similar to himself was utterly absurd...

"Can I have my phone back?" Vera stretched out her hand. "The photos on it are very important to me."

She was so friendly that V couldn't even get angry and could only irritably hand her the phone back.

Seeing that they didn't seem to be fighting, Leo immediately pressed V down onto the sofa and pointed to the sofa opposite him: "Please sit down, there really is some misunderstanding here."

The two Vs sat facing each other, and the tense atmosphere in the private room finally dissipated.

Leo handed the last glass of wine to Vera, telling her to have some water first.

To be honest, he was a little confused himself.

The job posting originally given to Jack was a blatant "nepotism hire," clearly aimed at Panan. But then his good buddy went back to the Wild Wolf Bar and brought in V the Wanderer...

and many more!

Thinking about it, he first met the street girl V at the Wild Wolf Bar. There's something there. He should buy some incense and pray there sometime, just in case he can recruit V from the company.

While he was lost in thought, Vera had already drunk the wine and looked surprised: "It tastes very refreshing. This is wine made from real fruit juice, unlike those weird-tasting drinks in vending machines."

"That's right, it's a good wine that costs 350 euros a bottle."

Leo replied absentmindedly, not yet having thought of what to say next, when V suddenly pulled him back onto the sofa.

"Wait a minute, we're not finished talking yet!"

After a short break, street girl V rallied her spirits.

"That's how you've always looked, and I can't control that. But you can't use the code name 'V'!"

Vera looked at her quietly: "But that's my name, that's what my friends always call me."

"That won't do!" V jumped up again, stepping on the glass table and pointing at her condescendingly. "There's a rule in the underworld: first come, first served. I've been a mercenary in Night City for almost six years and have always used the codename V. You came later, so you can't use the same codename as me. You have to change it!"

For the first time, Vera showed a reluctant expression, seemingly somewhat displeased with her unreasonable behavior.

But after a moment of silence, she suddenly nodded: "I can't change my name just because you don't like it. Mercenaries shouldn't use the same code name. So I'll be...L, is that alright?"

V suddenly froze and turned to look at Leo.

Leo was also stunned. "I am L. It's not appropriate for you to use my code name..."

Vera was speechless, feeling like she was incompatible with this team.

The strange atmosphere lasted for a while.

Vera spoke again, "It seems you called me here because of this misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, I promise I won't use your code name. So... do you still need drivers? I actually fit your recruitment criteria quite well."

V was about to say no when she let out a yell, quickly rubbing her waist with her small hands, and turned to glare at Leo.

This time, it was Leo who stabbed her in the waist, which was a way of getting revenge for the elbow he had given her yesterday.

“I am the captain of the Immortal Squad, Leonardo… well, just call me Leonardo. We still need a driver, but we were confused by your appearance and codename, which led to the little accident earlier. Now, let’s continue our discussion.”

Leo handed her a can of Coke and carefully examined her face: "Our hiring criteria are excellent driving skills, familiarity with the Badlands and the Nomad families, and preferably some other special skills. Can you tell me about yourself?"

Vera sipped her cola and spoke slowly and deliberately: "As I said before, I come from a disbanded family of wanderers. I traveled across most of America, wandering aimlessly, until... my supplies ran out and I had very little money left, so I had to come to Night City to find some work."

"I've only been in this city for less than three days, and I haven't even found a place to stay yet. I've been living in my car. Apart from sleeping, I've been looking for job opportunities in various bars, which is how I saw your team's recruitment information."

I never expected my appearance and codename to cause this misunderstanding. I have to apologize... uh... V."

It's clear that it felt a bit awkward for her to utter that code name.

Fortunately, V was even more awkward than her—this strange guy named Vera was far too friendly; the last person she had met who was this friendly was Misty.

It's really unbelievable lately; all sorts of bizarre people I haven't seen in over a decade are appearing all at once...

First Glimpse of Talent: Chapter 111 V-Shaking Unit 2 Successfully Joins the Team!

It turns out that when someone is very friendly and reasonable, it becomes very difficult to argue with them.

V kept encouraging himself in his heart, but his anger meter kept dropping.

This doesn't conform to the street rules of Night City. To survive here, you have to be tough, ruthless, and settle scores on the spot. Even if you make a mistake, you have to stick to your guns. Otherwise, you'll be looked down upon and become the target of bullying.

But the female homeless woman in front of me... she was like a clear stream in a muddy swamp, a campfire in the dark night, exuding an aura that was completely out of place in the city of night.

V used her unparalleled intuition to carefully sense that Vera gave her the feeling of... like the warm sun in winter. Just looking at her seemed to make her feel friendly and warm, making her want to get closer to her.

This person... not only is she fine, she's actually quite nice.

The problem is that her face looks so much like mine that it's easy for people to mistake her for someone else.

V suddenly turned to look at Leo and saw him staring intently at Vera.

Her fists instantly started itching—damn that jerk, she knew it would be like this!

Leo was lost in thought, fantasizing about the scene of the three Vs converging on the top, invincible under heaven, when he suddenly sensed the killing intent coming from his side.

Turning my head, wow~~~ I've seen plenty of prosthetic eyes that can glow, but this is the first time I've ever seen one that can breathe fire…

The oppressive feeling was overwhelming; he felt as if he were the unfaithful man, caught in bed with another man by his wife who had stood by him through thick and thin…

No, no, no, that's not right, he hasn't cheated on me yet!

Not daring to look V in the eye again, fearing she would go crazy, Leo quickly winked at his two clueless, onlooker-only friends—"Say something if you have a mouth, or you'll leave me stuck between the two Vs suffering!"

Jack understood, but he was powerless to change it.

My buddy is good at wielding knives and guns, but mediating family conflicts, especially those between men and women, is just putting this newly dumped single guy in a difficult position.

Sasha's thinking was rather unconventional; she didn't even think about melodramatic romance dramas, she was thinking about melodramatic love stories!

"I understand!"

The petite girl leaned forward, gazing excitedly at the two remarkably similar V-shaped faces.

"Which of you is an orphan, the kind who was found or adopted by a kind person? Is it possible that you are long-lost twin sisters who have been reunited by fate? I've seen movies with this kind of plot!"

Seemingly not satisfied, she clenched her right fist, extended her index finger, and said with a gossipy gleam, "There's only one truth, and you—"

""impossible!""

Two rebuttals, coinciding, rang out.

V glared at Vera, who was stealing her lines, and said first, "I'm pretty sure I'm an only child. My father died when I was very young, and he never left Night City. He couldn't possibly have had any other children."

Vera added, "I was born in a place very far from Night City. My family has always been a wanderer, but we have never settled in this area. Of course, I also have biological parents, although they are no longer here."

V stared at her in surprise, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Still stealing, still stealing!

Why steal her life experiences? Isn't this stealing her identity?!

How can there be two identical leaves in the world?!

Sasha accepted their explanation, and just as she was about to sit back down, another possibility occurred to her: "I get it! You are clones created by a mad scientist using the same segment of genes, just like in science fiction movies!"

"I have parents!"

"I have it too."

The disapproving gazes of the two Vs forced Sasha to back down, leaving her no choice but to raise her hands in surrender.

"Then I don't know, you guys figure it out yourselves..."

The discussion reached a stalemate.

A strange and awkward atmosphere filled the meeting room.

Leo felt that continuing like this wouldn't yield any results, and he himself wasn't particularly concerned about Vera's background.

This is a V!

V-Zhentian No. 2 Unit!

Who cares about her background? Let's bring her into the team first!

"Vera, I'll investigate your background a little, just in case. At least based on the information we have so far, I don't think there's a big problem."

Leo changed to a more domineering pose with his arms crossed.

"You come from a nomadic background, you're familiar with the badlands and nomadic families, that's good. The next question is, how are your driving skills? Do you have any other special talents?"

Vera quickly composed herself and stopped thinking about the little girl across from her who looked so much like her.

She came to apply for a job; if she couldn't find one, even refueling her car would be a problem.

She quickly glanced around at the four people present, and her first impression of the team was quite good. Furthermore, the fact that they were able to hold a meeting in a private room at the Laisheng Bar suggested they were a very capable team.
