I, V, Gotham Legend

Barbara stared blankly at Valerie's little hands flickering back and forth, and a high-end and gorgeous sea view room chassis was quickly taking shape.

She couldn't see Valerie's movements at all, and the lightning speed lasted for at least ten seconds.

When Valerie put down her hands, a brand new computer case full of technology and high-end feel was already placed on the table.

"I'm so tired. This thing is really complicated and it took me a lot of time." Valerie sighed as she wiped her smooth and clean forehead.

"...Was it a waste of time?" Barbara said embarrassedly.

"You haven't seen my normal hand speed." Valerie said mysteriously.

Logically speaking, as the most commonly used ability, Valerie's manual ability should have been further improved.

But Valerie's manual ability was still 20 on the panel, and she had begun to wonder if it was because the panel only displayed a maximum of 20.

For Valerie, everything she did was so easy that she couldn't feel whether she was making any progress.

Valerie picked up a wire connected to the computer case, slowly walked to Barbara, and then made another monitor in front of Barbara.

This time it was faster, but after all, it was close at hand. Barbara saw Valerie take out something that looked like blue glass, and the next second she strangely made a display made of plastic and metal.

"Is that some kind of alien high-tech part?" Barbara's fingers swung back and forth, not knowing what to point to for a moment.

"Which one? Oh, you mean this one." Valerie took a moment to understand, "That's the material for making it. If you're interested, I can give you one to play with."

As she spoke, Valerie picked up one of Barbara's ballpoint pens, rubbed it with her backhand, and it turned into white glass.

"How is it?" Valerie handed the whiteboard material to Barbara.

"It's amazing... Just like the reconstruction of the Creator, is this also Miss V's superpower?" Barbara's eyes were shining. "In this case, doesn't it mean that we don't need to spend money to buy things?"

With this ability, wouldn't it be possible to do whatever you want?

"That's true, but I still like shopping. The things I buy are different from what I make myself!" Valerie emphasized.

Although she is not interested in shopping, Valerie likes to spend money. She especially enjoys the feeling of squandering money and still holding a huge amount of money in her hands.

Her vehicle summon list is filled with vehicles of various brands and types, some of which she either made herself or bought.

In addition, there are houses of all kinds. The housing prices in Gotham are relatively cheap. In addition, as a Chinese, buying a house when you have money is engraved in Valerie's DNA. She has bought many buildings in full - although for convenience, she usually only lives in the next life.

With this level of extravagance, most of the money earned from Batman last year is still left, which shows how generous Master Wayne is.

In Valerie's current eyes, making money is to spend it. Since she has become a woman, she can't look for a man, let alone reproduce. It is enough for her to live and enjoy herself.

Business was important. Barbara had already turned on the computer. After typing a long section of code that Valerie couldn't quite understand, a blue UI appeared on the screen.

"This is..." Valerie was surprised. She had seen this UI before. It was the quick floating window that could be seen in the hacker mode of the game.

NO62. Company opening

"I saw this thing during my last experiment. It seems to be the software that comes with this chip. At that time, I thought it was some kind of game UI." Barbara said while typing on the keyboard.

“Maybe this is the game UI.” Valerie said, scratching her head as she stood behind Barbara.

The picture on the display is the same as the mobile game debugging UI. In a black screen, a blue floating window hangs on the left, but there are no buttons on it that would be found in the game. It looks like a jade stone waiting to be carved.

Valerie remembered what Luther had said to her in Metropolis.

After being possessed by the Mad Hatter's hallucinations, Luthor saw a floating window, which he used to order the hallucinated V to commit suicide.

"This thing... I thought I had to download special software or something." Valerie remembered the settings she saw when she was searching forums online while playing games in her previous life.

"This software comes with it, right? Even though nothing has been written yet." Barbara called up the interface full of codes. "Look here, Military Technology? Is that the name of the company that produced it?"

"Yes..." This is the orange cybernetic military technology type 5. If it were in Night City, anyone who stared at it would literally die.

"There are a lot of boot codes here...very detailed annotations. The creator has a really good habit." Barbara has already started commenting on things that Valerie doesn't understand.

"Anyway." Valerie interrupted the girl who was still admiring the code, "Can you reproduce it? The effect I mentioned."

"I didn't quite understand it before, but after reading this I can probably understand. You want to use your hacking ability like a weapon, right?" Barbara was already entering the code. "Yes, you can, but you have to hold this chip."

Valerie suddenly remembered that Luthor once tried to use signal relay to hack into the Kryptonian spaceship, and she tentatively told Barbara about this method.

"It's a feasible solution." Barbara nodded in approval.

Originally, Barbara still had many questions, but considering that Valerie had demonstrated so many incredible techniques, including alien technology, she felt that there shouldn't be any big problems.

Valerie was also happy to have some free time. Luther had already tested it and found that the Mother Box could be used as a reliable tool for signal relay. In Luther's eyes, it could even hack into spacecraft.

However, considering that the Mother Box itself is too dangerous, Valerie plans to study whether she can imitate a similar one.

And since it only receives and relays signals, there should be no need to use a mother box.

"Okay! I'm motivated! Let's try to use my hacking skills today!" Valerie clenched her fists in front of her chest, spoke with great momentum, and strode towards the new laboratory she had just repaired.

Barbara looked at Valerie's back as she strode away, then looked at the half-finished code on the monitor, thought for a moment, and then turned off the computer.

V doesn't seem to be in a hurry, so let's do our homework first.

……

Ever since the capture of Bane's remnants, the people of Gotham have entered a period of peace and tranquility with great discomfort.

There are no terrorists or bloodthirsty cults, and the still arrogant gangs such as the Penguin have, for some unknown reason, become more restrained recently.

The government's mouthpieces and the media attributed the credit to the police department and prosecutor Harvey Dent of the procuratorate, but there are still a considerable number of people in Gotham who believe that those lurking in the shadows are the ones who truly deserve the honor.

It was another gloomy afternoon. The front of a building in Gotham was filled with media. They were blocked by cordons and stood on both sides of a red carpet, as if waiting for the opening of a theater.

A luxury sports car stopped in front of the red carpet. The media behind the cordon couldn't help but stick their heads out, because they knew who was coming.

Bruce Wayne opened the car door. He was wearing sunglasses and had a frivolous smile on his face, but his pace was not as steady as he looked.

There was a cacophony of shutter clicks and flashing lights as Gotham's most popular bachelor received a welcome befitting of his fame.

He stepped across the red carpet and quickly reached the end - a completely white villa.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Wayne." Malone stood at the door of the villa with a kind smile.

"Hello...Train Malone." In order to create an unreliable setting, Bruce deliberately called Malone by the wrong name.

"I'm glad you could come and participate in this ribbon-cutting ceremony... It's a pity that V didn't want to come in person." Malone rubbed his hands apologetically, "She said she wanted to maintain the mystery of the legend in front of the citizens of Gotham."

"Is she some little kid who just started middle school?" Wayne said with a smile.

Today, Master Wayne was invited to attend the opening ceremony of the first serious business enterprise under V Group. According to Valerie, this will bring her good advertising benefits.

The business run under V's identity was already famous enough, and Valerie even invited Wayne to work as Batman. However, Bruce felt that Batman should remain mysterious and refused.

Perhaps she thought it made sense, so Valerie decided not to show up at the event, but she still managed to persuade Batman to agree to attend as Bruce Wayne.

If nothing unexpected happens, Valerie should be watching upstairs in the villa at this time.

The ceremony began soon, and Malone, the actual boss of the company, handed a pair of scissors to Wayne and motioned him to stand in the center.

Wayne stood in front of the camera skillfully, gave a hypnotic speech, and finally cut the ribbon neatly. The whole process was done in one go, and it was obvious that he was often invited to cut the ribbon.

The ceremony ended with the sound of shutter clicks, and Bruce was invited by Malone into the villa behind him.

"I didn't expect that. I thought your company would acquire an office building first." Bruce followed behind Malone and spoke in a frivolous tone.

"V likes places that are not so serious. She always feels like she is having fun when doing things... Of course, she is still reliable." Ma Long was V's middleman at the beginning, so he is qualified to say this.

"Okay, then can I ask again what this company does? A lot of companies come to me every day, and I often forget some." Bruce certainly knew what it did, otherwise he wouldn't have come here, but he still wanted to ask again.

Ma Long is somewhat acquainted with his other identity, and they may meet often in the future, so he has to keep it secret even if it may be a bit too much.

Malone had no doubts. Young Master Wayne was world-famous for his unreliability. He patiently explained, "The company is called Trauma Team. It mainly installs prosthetics for people and also provides search and rescue and emergency services. V also went through a lot of trouble to get a medical license."

"That's great, your actions will change the world." Wayne praised perfunctorily.

NO63. Trauma Team

Trauma Team is a company in the game. It was originally just a background board and one of the many settings to show the class division in Night City.

In the game, those who can afford to be members of the trauma team are all wealthy people, even V at the beginning of the company had this honor before he was fired.

However, the company founded by Valerie is naturally not so class-oriented, and she herself is not particularly short of money.

Promoting and selling prosthetics is Valerie's first goal. Although Gotham is a place of talented people, there are not many cases of disabilities that require prosthetics. In Valerie's plan, the focus of this company in the short term is still to treat illnesses like an ordinary hospital.

However, as the reputation of the prosthetics produced by V Group grows, Valerie's company will sooner or later become a special enterprise. People with special disabilities from all over the world will come to seek treatment, and even ordinary people will take the initiative to request to replace their prosthetics.

Of course, having said that, Valerie would not sell overly high-tech and powerful prostheses. Not only would it be easy for them to give rise to super-powered villains, but more importantly, it would be difficult for ordinary people to afford advanced prostheses.

The ability to increase strength, perfectly replace limbs, and the expected internet access function are already the core competitive advantages of Valerie's prosthesis.

Then again, Valerie prefers the name Military Technology to Trauma Team, but as a serious enterprise serving the general public, this name is a bit too arrogant.

Names in other games, like Kantao Arasaka, either fail to highlight the characteristics or are not very appealing, making them uncomfortable to use.

Bruce was led to the second floor by Malone, and according to Malone, V was waiting inside.

But just before they reached the door, they heard a woman's groan and the sound of a saw vibrating from inside.

If it hadn't sounded like she was cutting metal, the two would have almost thought that the unapproachable Valerie had changed her personality.

"Can we come in?" Malone thought about it and decided to knock on the door first.

"Wait a minute... let me put on some clothes." A weak voice came from inside. It was rare for V to be so weak.

But they didn't have to wait long before the door was opened and Valerie, wearing a classic yellow coat, stood behind the door, looking neat and tidy.

"You were just..." Bruce poked his head out and found a dentist-like gurney covered in blood in the room behind Valerie.

"I'm doing surgery on myself to modify the prosthesis on my spine." Valerie did not hide it. She even turned her upper body slightly. "I just used that instrument to cut open my back. Although I took painkillers, it still hurts a little."

"I thought legendary heroes would have some ability to control pain." Bruce teased.

"There wasn't one before, and one of the purposes of this renovation is to add one," said Valerie.

Ma Long looked at the bloodstains in the room, and thought of Valerie's weak voice just now, and couldn't help but feel distressed and admired: "What a ruthless person, capable of great things."

"I've done so many great things." Valerie smiled.

The Pain Editor is a neural prosthesis that can reduce damage in the game. Valerie planned to make one when she first crossed over.

Valerie combined it with her own Swansea, which not only made future surgeries more bearable, but also prolonged the duration of menstrual bleeding and made menstrual cramps less uncomfortable.

Having said that, Valerie hasn't had her period for two months since her last period. She doesn't think she has any special talents, so it could just be that she has a special physique.

There is a perfect idea to solve the menstrual problem, which is to do a permanent circumcision, but Valerie doesn't want to do that, as she always feels like castration.

Valerie stepped aside and signaled that the two could enter the house, but Wayne refused.

"It's enough to see that you're okay. I have other things to do." Bruce waved his hand.

"Busy? Don't you do serious work at night?" Valerie asked cryptically.

Malone remained silent, the playboy's serious work at night, this combination made him marvel at the energy of young people.

"That was tonight. In fact, you're not the only one who invited me today." Bruce looked at his watch. "The prosecutor's office invited me to attend a trial. It should have started by now."

"The court is already in session, why are you going..."

"At least show up there before the trial is over. The protagonist of this trial is that Maroni, and Harvey Dent is going to send him to prison himself." Bruce mentioned the name that Valerie was interested in.

"Maroni? I remember you've been following him for a long time. You actually gave up his place and came to my place." Valerie said in surprise.

Maroni can be considered the successor of Black Mask. After the collapse of the three major gangs, this former second-tier figure is basically equivalent to the top big shot in Gotham.

It can be said that he has monopolized the white powder trade in Gotham, or he is the only white powder dealer with a certain scale left. He is also very likely hiding a group of super criminals such as Scarecrow.

On the last night before leaving Metropolis, Valerie and Batman worked together to eliminate a bunch of white powder dens of Metropolis gangs, and the source of those white powder was basically Maroni.

Almost everyone knows that Maroni is a cunning drug dealer, but he manages to clear himself of suspicion every time. Every time Maroni is arrested, either someone else comes out to take the blame or it is discovered that what he did has nothing to do with him. He is like a difficult and disgusting earthworm.

As time went on, the police even gave up on bothering Maroni before they had conclusive evidence.

"The guests of this trial are so grand, with Dent and Wayne? It seems that it is inevitable that Maroni will be sent to prison?" Valerie asked.

But it was Malone who answered her: "In fact, Maloney was arrested last night. It is said that Batman and his assistant personally arrested him in an underground drug manufacturing den... and a group of his subordinates."

If the police were to take action, they would need a search warrant to seal up the business of a big shot like Maroney.

But Batman didn't have so many concerns. He directly attacked the lair, tied Maroni and his pile of drugs together, and then called the police anonymously on the grounds that someone had broken into a private house.

When Gordon entered Maroney's hideout, he caught the criminal red-handed and the scene was full of evidence. There was basically no chance for Maroney to escape the charges.
