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

Old Wei stretched his body and first went to close the double security doors to avoid external interference.

Jack sat down on the operating table without any sign of nervousness; instead, his eyes were filled with excitement.

"Get to work, Lao Wei, go for it! Give me some real energy!"

"Ha~~ You think this is blacksmithing?"

The two were so close that they were ready to start after exchanging a few teasing words.

Not wanting to disturb them, Leo carried a small stool into the clinic.

While waiting, he also had his own things to do—that was to train with the combat chip.

With a flick of his wrist, he took out a comprehensive training chip for an intelligent weapon.

[Pure white, will it be okay if I just put this directly into my head?]

Don't worry, I'm connected to you. Any electronic virus or program trying to access your personal terminal will have to get past me first. Simply put, after you plug it in, I'll block the chip from reading it, go in first to check things out.

【Then come. 】

He carefully peeled off the protective film and inserted the combat training chip into the slot behind his ear.

At first there was no reaction, as if he had a fake chip inserted. But after three to five minutes, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him, like a high-powered searchlight shining on his face.

First, everything was a blur of white and I couldn't see anything clearly. Then, my vision blurred, as if layers of gauze were being torn away to reveal a new scene.

This is a military facility, all reinforced concrete, it's pretty boring.

As is customary, military technology personnel are also assigned a professional instructor to train him.

Unfortunately... conventions are meant to be broken.

"Pure white?" Leo looked at the cute catgirl with white hair and red eyes in surprise.

“That’s right, it’s me!” Chunbai put her little hands behind her back and walked up to him gracefully. “I came in first and took a look around to plug any possible security loopholes. I also kicked out the military technology instructor and will be in charge of training you!”

"……can you?"

Looking at her charming and lovely appearance, Leo couldn't help but worry.

Pure White proudly raised her chin, her fair skin and beautiful collarbone complementing each other perfectly.

"I have obtained all the data from this chip, plus the training materials and insights circulating online, and I guarantee that it will be better than this built-in, rigid instructor."

"Come on, don't waste time. The tutorial for using smart weapons is very simple. Let's finish it quickly, then we'll practice something else."

Leo shrugged and followed her.

In this virtual space, he can control his body with his will. Thanks to the high technology of brain-computer interface that directly reads brain waves, the control is not awkward at all.

He quickly acquired the smart weapons built into the military technology and began rigorous training.

It took him about half an hour to reach the finish line with a score of 90.

Just as Chunbai said, she was a very good instructor, and she would even force him to receive some perks when he performed well.

Another point is that the use of smart weapons is too simple, almost like a foolproof operation—find cover, stick the weapon out, roughly aim at the enemy's direction, pull the trigger, and wait for the homing bullet to kill the enemy on its own...

It's that simple; sometimes he even feels superfluous.

If you install those smart weapons on drones, it feels like humans won't have a chance to do anything...

On the contrary, he spent a lot of time on emergency handling of firearm malfunctions, maintenance and debugging of smart weapons, and other projects.

Before leaving, Chunbai reminded him, "This is just the normal mode. There are also elite soldier mode and centurion mode later. I suggest you set aside an hour each day for combat training, which will help you become a qualified soldier as soon as possible."

"Understood, Instructor!"

Leo responded loudly to her, returning to reality.

He then tried the basic combat training chip and the hacking introductory training chip, and gained a lot from them.

All I can say is that in the world of 2077, spending money really can make you stronger quickly!

Pay to Win!

First Glimpse of Talent: Chapter 137 V - The First Form of Earth-Shaking Power

An hour and a half later, Jack's surgery was successfully completed.

He truly lived up to his reputation as a muscular man with a physical potential of 18; as soon as the anesthesia wore off, he was able to walk steadily indoors, quickly adapting to the changes in his body.

After resting for a while, Old Wei disinfected the operating table and patted the table: "Come on, Leo, it's your turn."

Seeing the anxious look in his eyes after he lay down, Old Wei couldn't help but laugh: "Now you're scared? I told you before, installing three frontal cortex implants at once is a bit radical, but you didn't listen!"

Leo sighed: "Alright, get to it, just give me a quick death..."

"Don't be afraid, take a deep breath, everything will be alright."

Leo obediently took a deep breath... his neck tilted to the side, and he fainted.

*

I didn't even dream about it this time. It felt like I just closed my eyes and opened them again, and the surgery was over.

"Wake up, the surgery went well."

Old Wei's voice came from beside me, slightly muffled.

"Oh, by the way, I shaved part of the hair on the back of your head to make it easier to perform the surgery."

Leo immediately perked up and quickly reached up to touch the back of his head.

The effects of the anesthetic hadn't completely worn off, and my fingertips felt a little numb, but I could still barely distinguish the different textures of my scalp and hair.

He touched it carefully and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, only part of it was shaved off, and it didn't turn into a bizarre hairstyle like a mohawk.

Once he regained some sensation in his body, he sat up from the operating table and immediately saw V, whose eyes were filled with concern.

It must be said that when V-Zhentian isn't swearing or throwing punches, he also has a gentle side.

"You've arrived. So it's already noon?"

Leo was helped up by her and asked casually.

V supported his arm and helped him walk around the room to adjust to the changes in his body. "Yes, it's already 12:30. Your surgery has been going on for two hours."

"I see. It feels like only a moment has passed."

Leo talked to her as he walked around. In fact, he could walk on his own, since he was only a little uncomfortable in his head and right wrist, but otherwise in good health.

But such an opportunity to hug and cuddle with V was rare, so he reluctantly cuddled for a while longer.

Fifteen minutes later, Vera and Sasha arrived to have lunch together, bringing with them good news:

"The garage has already been rented. It's in the Springs district. I walked around the area, and it's full of Valentino gang members, so it's relatively safe for us."

After lunch, I went to buy various equipment in the afternoon. I put the car repair kit in the garage, and the weapon repair kit in my apartment, where there happened to be a small, empty room.

Leo was very satisfied with her efficiency and casually sent her the old captain's contact information, letting her decide the delivery time herself.

The five members of the Immortal Squad, along with Old Vi and Misty, enjoyed a lively lunch together.

As instructed by the doctor, no chili peppers were added to this meal, and the flavor was quite mild.

After finishing their meal, Vera and Sasha left in a hurry.

Leo thought for a moment and called Jack over: "Jack, I'll stay here with you. You go home and rest first. I'll give you a little task."

Jack nodded, indicating that he should speak freely.

"Contact the priest and have him inform the Valentino mercenaries who can get into the bar. There's a big job tomorrow at noon, high pay, easy work, and they can even help us out."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Just as Leo was about to nod, he suddenly remembered something else. "By the way, do you have Inspector Sting's phone number?"

"Uh... I don't have any, but my mom does. It was added when we posted bail."

"Please ask me for it, it might be useful."

Jack scratched his head and walked away, wondering what use getting a police phone number would be.

Leo's idea is currently just a concept, so there's no rush to explain it.

Later, only three people remained in the clinic: Old Vi, V, and himself.

"I've rested well, and while I'm in good shape, let's get started."

Old Wei, using his exoskeleton gloves, moved a small, ornately packaged box onto the table.

"Is this my S.A.W.S.S.?"

V excitedly rushed over as soon as he saw the lightning bolt icon.

Leo also went over to watch.

Old Wei carefully verified his information using his pre-registered personal details and opened the prosthetic storage box.

The S.A.S. inside was much smaller than Leo had imagined.

Its core module is only the size of a mini solid-state drive, but it has a pretty cool design. The surface is covered with matte black alloy, and the front of the shell is engraved with the scarlet lightning logo of Dinalra Technologies.

The other end is a long, flat, plate-shaped data cable.

Old Wei meticulously inspected the implant, also known as the "ultimate combat cheat," to ensure it was brand new from the factory, without any flaws or signs of use.

After the inspection, he explained to the two men, "This is Sianwistan. In Watson District, you only see this kind of high-end prosthetic a few times a year, and most of them are second-hand. Those scoundrels, I don't know which dead person they took it from and put it on themselves. If you ask me, they're just asking for death."

He carefully lifted the implant, which was in a sealed bag, with both hands and placed it on the surgical tray.

"The data interface connects to the brain-computer interface, and the core module connects to Krenzikov. These two prosthetics are a perfect match; otherwise, you would have to install a neural processor spine first."

"And your mantis knife and the latest Krenzikov."

Old Wei then took out two more trays and placed the three implants side by side.

"That's all. Once you're ready, we can begin the surgery. You'll need to lie face down on the operating table, and I'll make an incision along your spine in your back."

Leo's face paled slightly upon hearing this, but V was eager to try and wasn't afraid at all.

"Come on, S.A.S.! I've wanted this awesome thing for ages!"

Taking advantage of her inability to move, Leo patted her head twice and went into the clinic alone, not daring to disturb Old Wei during such a life-threatening surgery.

The waiting time felt incredibly long. Old Wei told him that it was best not to use the training chip for the first six hours after the prosthetic body was installed, as this would increase the burden on his brain.

He could only keep shaking his leg and occasionally glance at the operating table from afar.

The surgery lasted a full three hours, but it felt like three days had passed.

"Okay, everything went smoothly."

When Old Wei's slightly tired voice came, Leo stood up with a start.

He rushed back to the operating table and saw that V had opened her eyes and looked to be in good spirits.

"How are you feeling?" he asked cautiously.

V grinned: "Of course it's fantastic! Tomorrow I'll show you the power of the Time-Stop Sword Saint! I've seen the elite members of the Terrorist Mobile Unit use the Senevestan on TV before, and I've always thought—one day I'll have to get one for myself!"

A smile appeared on Leo's lips, and his tense nerves instantly relaxed.

Judging from her energetic appearance, she's definitely fine. No wonder she's a monster with a constitution of 20; she can run and jump right after getting off the operating table...

Thus, the invincible V-Shock is beginning to take shape, and Leo is looking forward to her performance tomorrow!

First Glimpse of Talent: Chapter 138 L's Request: The Great Purge

After performing three surgeries in a row, Lao Wei's breathing became somewhat unsteady, and he had to rest for a while.

But he wasn't idle either; he called the two over and gave them a lot of instructions, mostly to V, but then turned to look at Leo:

"When using Sianweistan for the first time, the body may experience some rejection reactions, which may manifest as ruptured capillaries near the skin and mild inflammation. At this time, you should clean the skin with medical gauze and alcohol, and then apply a special repair cream."

He brought the storage box containing the prosthetic body, opened the compartment, and inside was a tube of ointment about the size of a regular facial cleanser, as well as various types of pneumatic injectors.

"The repair cream should be used no more than twice a day, with an interval of at least 4 hours. The following are all immunosuppressants; if adverse reactions occur, use them promptly. For specific dosage instructions, please refer to the product manual or call me directly."
