"No, that's ridiculous... Who would spend a million just to buy two guns?"
The female store manager across from her nodded subconsciously, then realized her mistake and quickly put on an awkward yet polite smile.
V ignored her and continued staring at Leo: "Do you need some advice? I think the gun could be—"
"stop!"
Leo interrupted her spellcasting.
Before he could even ask for advice, V's mouth started moving. While he was indeed interested in V's ideas, this time it wouldn't work; this time, V had already thought it through!
"Keep your creative ideas for your own custom weapons; I've already thought of something this time."
He looked at the female store manager, gesturing for her to continue taking notes.
"The graffiti style is three Vs, like the English letters, using three different artistic fonts, slightly separated in the middle, so it won't be mistaken for a W."
V froze, then grabbed his sleeve: "Wait a minute, what do the three Vs mean!?"
Leo had already prepared his convincing lines, and upon hearing this, he quickly explained, "I want to engrave your code name on the gun, so that when I see this gun, it's like seeing you."
V was startled by the cheesy pickup line and withdrew her hand, unsure whether she felt shy or pleased. But she quickly realized, "Then what do you mean by carving three Vs? Wouldn't one be enough?"
"Should we carve a logo that won't be mistaken for the Valentino gang's?"
His question startled V – it really was true, the symbol of the Valentino gang was the letter V and a rose, and its fame was obviously much greater than her personal code name.
If you only engrave a single V, it's easy for people to misunderstand...
Leo pressed on: "If engraving one isn't enough, I don't think you'd be willing to engrave two either, would you?"
V hesitated and nodded. She didn't hate Vera as much anymore, but the thought of two Vs being linked still made her uncomfortable, even though V was her own code name...
“Right!” Leo clapped his hands suddenly. “If carving one or two won’t work, then let’s carve three. That way, there won’t be any misunderstandings, and it will still represent my feelings!”
It sounded quite reasonable, and V hesitated before nodding.
Leo was secretly overjoyed. He knew 5 Intelligence wouldn't have it; he was so easily fooled.
When the third V comes later, he can easily explain, "I didn't know there was a third V at that time. Do you think that's the case?"
Then trick V again~
A sense of intellectual superiority arises spontaneously!
The graffiti design was finalized, and glowing patterns like VVV would appear on both sides of the gun!
The most legendary and possibly the most expensive guns in the entire Night City are about to be born, and Leo can't wait to hold the handles!
"I know your work efficiency is amazing, so how quickly can these two guns get to me?"
The female store manager inquired and gave a vague answer that it would take about four or five days.
Leo immediately said, "How about I add another 20 for express delivery? Can it be delivered the day after tomorrow morning?"
"Uh...is it a little rushed?"
"I'm not asking you. Pass this up and see what your boss says."
The female store manager awkwardly relayed the message, receiving a new reply: "Perhaps there is still a bit..."
"Add another 30, making the total 150 million. Let the gunsmith work a little harder, what do you think?"
The reply came very quickly—
"That should be possible. We will send someone to deliver the custom-made firearms to your doorstep the day after tomorrow morning."
Leo smiled contentedly.
First Glimpse of Talent: Chapter 130 Prohibited Firearms, Sale Prohibited!
After leaving your delivery address, there's one last step before the transaction is complete.
The female store manager showed Leo a tablet computer with a private account on the screen: "According to company regulations, a 50% deposit is required to pre-order firearms."
Leo nodded and transferred 150 million euros directly.
"There's no need for all that trouble. I'll pay in full, and it'll be convenient for everyone."
The female shop manager's eyes flickered, and she suddenly felt that the young man in front of her was exuding an amazing charm that made her heart flutter.
Unfortunately... he already has a female companion, and she's a beautiful twin.
Putting aside her little scheme, she warmly got up and poured tea for Leo again.
Leo waved his hand and declined: "No need, I need to buy some other things, so it's inconvenient for me to stay any longer."
He then took the dazed V back to the shop and bought some bullets.
Comto's high-end smart gun is equipped with bullet spin stabilization technology and can fire caseless homing bullets, which are much more expensive than ordinary caseless bullets.
High-quality bullets produced by Kangtao cost 20 yuan per bullet when purchased in bulk. Yes, per bullet...
V's heart stopped when he heard the price.
She can earn 500 euros for the simplest little commission, which isn't even enough to cover the cost of a whole magazine of ammunition.
No wonder she was once chatting with gun dealer Wilson and asked him why he didn't stock up on some cheap smart guns to sell, and he looked at her like she was an idiot.
What did he say back then? Something like: "Smart weapons? Ha, the ammunition for those things costs more than human lives!"
Now it's Leo's turn to bear this exorbitant price.
"Usable with both pistols and submachine guns? Then send 50,000 rounds directly to my home."
The female shop manager was a little flustered: "Mr. Leonardo, ammunition is limited. Each customer can only purchase a maximum of one thousand rounds. This is already a lot..."
Leo's eyes darted around: "But we have five people, so let's compromise and start with ten thousand rounds."
The money was transferred directly for 20 yuan. The other party hesitated for more than ten seconds before the transaction was successful!
Leo noticed that the receiving account had changed to the official account of the franchise store, indicating that the money had obviously passed through someone's pocket.
But this is also good. Mr. Li gained a favor, the person who handled the matter gained benefits, and he himself gained convenience. This is a win-win-win situation!
Having completed his personal main quest, Leo looked at his teammates: "I've finished my business, now it's your turn. How about considering Kangtao's smart weapons?"
The female store manager looked at everyone with shining eyes.
however,
They shook their heads frantically.
"No, no, I'd have a heart attack if I fired a whole magazine."
As V spoke, he walked towards the door, fleeing this money-devouring hellhole.
Jack and Vera also showed their support by not daring to look at the expensive guns in the display case that could make someone instantly poor.
Leo gave the female store manager a helpless look and happily followed his friends.
After leaving the Kangtao Firearms Store, V headed straight for the [Tsunami Defense System Firearms Store] without looking back.
This is a high-end weapons manufacturer headquartered in Osaka, Japan.
Some say their high-end customization is divine, while Arasaka only produces thesis defenses... and then that person could never be found again.
As soon as he entered the store, V pointed at the virtual images of the products at the entrance and shouted, "Give me a Nekomata sniper rifle!"
Upon hearing this, the male shop assistant, who was about to approach the customer, paused and stopped in his tracks. The male shop manager behind the counter took over and went to serve the customer.
But after walking a few steps, he saw a group of people following behind V, clearly a team. After seeing their clothes and appearance clearly, the male store manager stepped back, and the female store manager went to greet them.
It was only then that Leo noticed that the employees in these stores were half men and half women, and there were even two store managers who would decide the gender of the staff based on the gender of the customer.
It can only be said that the company goes to great lengths to sell its products, even resorting to tactics like seduction.
The female shopkeeper, dressed in the same kimono as Arasaka, gracefully approached. She smiled at Leo first, then looked at V and gave a slight bow: "Welcome to Tsunami Specialty Store. I heard you want to buy the Nekomata sniper rifle. Could you please provide proof of employment as a government employee or a large company?"
"……what?"
"Employment certificates from government employees or large companies, and they must be from combat units. According to Night City's laws, technical sniper rifles can only be sold to these two types of special personnel, and they must be reported."
"..."
V was speechless for a long time before scratching his head and asking, "Can't I just pay more?"
The female store manager gave a businesslike, sales-oriented smile.
Mommy's Bitch...
V walked out dejectedly.
Seeing that Leo was about to say something, she gently pulled his arm and dragged him out of the store.
Leo was puzzled: "Why can't I speak? I might be able to persuade her!"
"It's no use. Every word and action of these employees is under the company's surveillance. It involves legal matters, so even if you can find connections, you can't say it openly."
That makes sense; many things really can't be done openly.
While he was thinking of solutions, V went to a military technology specialty store again and received the same answer—technical sniper rifles are strictly controlled and can only be sold to specific groups; mercenaries can forget about them.
V became sullen and hesitantly offered an idea: "What do you think... I could ask the priest to help me out? He's the middleman, he should have connections, it'll just be a bit expensive."
Leo nodded: "Given our relationship, he can definitely help you out. But you seem to have forgotten something..."
V stared at him blankly, her eyes revealing a clear sense of foolishness.
Leo pointed to his nose: "I'm the middleman, why can't I give it a try?"
He led a few people back to the Tsunami specialty store and went straight to the female store manager.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm a middleman, code name L. Could you please give me a business card of your branch manager?"
The female store manager hesitated for a moment before reporting the situation.
Leo stood calmly in place, letting her scan his facial information to confirm his identity.
A little later, he received a business card.
The female store manager remained silent throughout, seemingly concerned about something.
After the group left the shop, V was stunned: "Is this all there is to it?"
"Of course not, we'll have to talk about it privately, but it shouldn't be a big problem."
Seeing that his friends were a little confused, he continued to explain.
"The company's primary goal is to make money. Do you think they don't want to sell these products? Think about the Sixth Street Gang and other gangs; their high-end weapons are all secretly sold by the company."
The crowd seemed to understand.
Considering the large number of people around, Leo decided to help V get her technical sniper rifle back in the car later, prioritizing the purchase of guns that are legally allowed to be sold openly for now.
First Glimpse of Talent: Chapter 131 Miss Valerie Passes Generally.
Within the bounds of the law, the power of money is limitless.
When the members of the Immortal Squad waved the banknotes, the shop assistants, who had previously been indifferent to them, broke into wide, enthusiastic smiles.
Leo, having witnessed the entire process, finally understood the truth behind the Night City saying that "everyone has 3 guns."
V was not satisfied with the Kenshin and the technical sniper rifle, so he also bought a military-grade M-179 Achilles precision rifle, determined to follow the path of wall penetration and headshots that technical weapons excel at.
Jack opted for the more common kinetic weapons, reasoning that he was used to them in the gang and that their ammunition was readily available and easier to use.
He chose the Midnight Armory SOR-22 Kinetic Precision Rifle, the affordable Killer Kinetic Shotgun, and two Nue Kinetic Pistols from the Tsunami Defense System.
The salespeople at the first two stores kindly reminded him that it would be best to use an endoskeleton and carbon fiber muscle implants with this type of firearm that has extremely strong recoil.
Jack patted his chest heartily, implying that he had already put on an act.
Vera's choices were quite versatile. She bought a Nue kinetic pistol and a Nine-Tailed kinetic assault rifle at the Tsunami Specialty Store, then changed her mind and went straight to the Constitution Military Specialty Store to buy a heavy machine gun...
The female store manager laughed and showed her the NCPD emergency number, asking if she wanted to file a report first.
Vera had no choice but to settle for two Defender Kinetic Light Machine Guns!
"I'm the driver, and with heavy firepower, I'll be much more effective at supporting you!"
Leo thought this made a lot of sense, but the female store manager distanced herself from them even further.
After the team members finished purchasing their desired firearms, Leo generously bought all the ammunition and grenades, purchasing goods worth a total of 50 from various shops.
