Chapter 292 90. Hey, you are the famous V Zhentian, right?
Mason came to Paradise Island through the Hermes Talisman and saw that a huge transfer door had been formed. Under the urging of Thalia and Selina, many Amazon warriors were dragging their families through the door. door to the new world.
The reason why their operation was so smooth was that two clever old aunts faked orders from Diana, the Queen of War.
In particular, the Queen's lasso of submission and Bladebreaker's buckler, which she never left behind, were kept as tokens, leaving the fanatical and loyal Amazons without too much suspicion.
But in addition to these female warriors advancing towards the Osborne Tower on the other side, there are also some people who are transferring from the Osborne Tower.
Zha Kang was currently flying around in the sky on his zombie flying dragon, maintaining order and guiding the direction while looking at these muscular big sisters with a sly look.
It feels a bit like "choosing a concubine".
When the bat girl who was traveling with him saw Mason, she immediately came over angrily.
Mason greeted him with a smile on his face, but Barbara waved her hand to strike, and because she couldn't do it, she could only choke Mason's neck.
She shouted:
"You damn guy! You came to do such a dangerous thing without telling us. If something happens to you and you ask me to go back, how can I explain to Gordon and Bruce?
That bastard Zha Kang also helped you hide it from us, saying that you were safe!
Safe ass!
Judy just told me that the world could collapse at any time, and you were literally dancing on the tip of a knife! Do you think you are awesome? ”
"It's not bad. I saved another world and it makes me feel happy."
Mason coughed twice and squeezed his eyes before saying something. The angry Barbara continued to exert force, and the prosthetic body pinched Mason until he could not breathe smoothly, but then the Bat Girl let go of her hand.
She sighed and said:
"Next time, at least tell us in advance, okay? We are all companions, and we at least have the right to know. Oh, I am really going to be pissed off by you and Selena.
Forget it, go over there quickly.
Mr. Hunter will arrive at Osborne Tower any minute, and so will Judy's captain.
The big guy said that he must take time out to meet you, the 'legendary', and there was also an old aunt who drank well and kept praising you as the real legendary mercenary.
It is said that she will make you a drink named after you in her bar. ”
This unexpected news made Mason's eyes light up, and he immediately walked towards the transfer door ahead.
Barbara stayed here to enjoy the scenery of Paradise Island and chatted with Harley Quinn about private conversations between girls. Seeing Mason disappearing into the light curtain of the transfer door, Barbara whispered in a gossipy voice. Asked to Harley:
"Did you succeed?"
"Oh, don't ask, it's just a little bit different!"
Harley was very angry and threw her baseball bat on the ground and stepped on it. She said to Barbara:
"It was already on base! I can feel Mr. K's enthusiasm being channeled by me! Damn it, the annoying heroes of this world suddenly rushed out and messed everything up.
But it doesn’t matter, I feel that my relationship with Mr. K is already very close.
Maybe I just need a good opportunity.
But, Barbara, why are you so passionate about this? Mason is going to call you sister, too. ”
Harley looked at Bat Girl suspiciously, and the strange thoughts in her eyes made Barbara sigh helplessly. She looked around and whispered:
"I just suspect that Mason may be targeted by a bad woman, a yellow-haired girl who is said to come from hell. Although she didn't say it explicitly, her weird interest in Mason can even be seen by me, a bystander.
You need to hurry up, Harley. ”
She urged:
"Get this settled before Mason and the swordsman meet, so that the young man won't be deceived into losing his soul by just a few words."
"Hmph."
As soon as she heard that a bad woman wanted to compete with her for Mr. K, Harley immediately became unhappy. She chewed the gum in her mouth fiercely, rolled her eyes around, folded her arms and pouted and said:
"Leave it to me! But I need you to do me a little favor. Come, I will tell you my plan quietly."
In the square of Area A of Osborne Tower on Mason's side, the scene of the doomsday rescue that happened a few days ago was almost replicated again, attracting many people to watch.
And this time, the fully armed Amazon female warriors who walked out of the transfer door were obviously more attractive than a group of 18th-century sea refugees.
In order to prevent these super-powerful guys from causing trouble, the old Green Goblin deployed his most elite defense forces to guide these Paradise Islanders to the temporary residence prepared for them.
In the depths of the heavily polluted sea, a transfer door to Atlantis also opened on an island.
Mason has no intention of moving all the 7 billion people in the old man's world here. The environment here is severely damaged, and a doomsday wasteland cannot support so many people.
Therefore, he only plans to transfer the Amazons and Atlanteans here, and the rest will be assigned by Mr. Hunter to start a new life in different worlds.
"Mason, this way!"
As soon as he passed through the transfer gate, he heard a call.
He looked up and saw that the technological girl Judy was driving a cyberpunk version of a small three-wheeled Laotoule electric car waiting for him. After Mason got in the car, Judy turned the steering wheel and took him to a secret area.
She also warned on the way:
"After hearing what you just did, the captain and the others immediately dropped what they were doing and ran over. You have done another sensational thing, Mason."
"Isn't it just a world?"
Mason said in surprise:
"Although the Stars Association does not engage in human affairs, this kind of thing has happened many times before, right? It won't make you excited to this extent."
"No, that's different!"
Judy corrected:
"In the past, it was all collective action, with thousands of pioneer teams being directed to advance one mission after another, but this time you almost single-handedly completed the entire process of discovery, development and transfer of a world.
Especially since you were able to bypass Mr. Hunter and directly contact the higher-ups and allow them to mobilize a large amount of resources to act under your leadership, this has completely surpassed the position of a C-level member of the Association of Stars.
Even A-class members can't do this kind of thing, so everyone is curious about how you did it?
There are rumors now that you are actually the 'illegitimate son' of a big shot in the higher-level organization, and you were sent to the Star Club to 'experience life'. ”
"Well, this is a secret. I can't say it for now, but I'm definitely not some damn illegitimate child."
Mason shrugged.
He was about to ask Judy about the laboratory, but suddenly a figure jumped down from a high place.
The guy fell straight down from a height of nearly thirty meters, and landed forward with a light double jump a few meters above the ground, landing right next to Judy's car.
It was a young man with a strange and capable hairstyle wearing a black leather jacket and carrying a black straight blade.
There was a silver pistol on the armed belt around his waist, which was exactly the same shape as the gun in Mason's gun bag, and when he looked at Mason with sharp eyes, the captain felt like he was being targeted by a beast.
"Mason Cooper?"
This tough man with a lot of personality leaned against Judy's emergency parked car, stretched out his hand to Mason coolly, and said:
"I'm V. Morgan is waiting for you. Come on, I'll take you there."
Looking at the guy's hand stretched out in front of his eyes, it was obviously a sign of goodwill, but Mason raised his eyebrows and said to the guy in front of him instead of holding it:
"Hello V, I've heard your story but unfortunately I don't like shaking hands with male V. Also, is Johnny Silverhand still in your head?
Please tell him.
I found his 'brother' in another world, who looked almost exactly like him. ”
"Hahaha"
V was not angry because Mason didn't shake his hand. On the contrary, this cheerful Night City guy opened the car door for him and said in a familiar manner:
"Johnny has gone beyond the black wall. I don't know where he is now. If you really want to see him, I will get a copy program and send it to you another day.
But listen to my advice.
That guy is a real psychopath with a sharp tongue. He can't help at all and only knows how to talk and be cynical all day long. ”
V pointed to his brain, winked at Mason and said:
"Being able to get rid of him is the only thing that makes me feel happy since the end of the world. I heard Judy say that you are a very powerful guy. How about we practice together on the road?
Boxing is fine too.
I, the ‘Night City Boxing Champion’, don’t use my gorilla arms to bully you, let’s just fight with skills. ”
He said enthusiastically:
"If I win, you will join us in the next life team. We just need someone with a brain as good as yours."
The abacus in these words made Mason raise his eyebrows. What? Are all the contemporary young people in Night City this confident?
But he didn't refuse, but looked V up and down and said:
"What if I win? Well, that knife behind your back is pretty good. It's probably the famous sword 'Jue'. Let's just bet on it, okay?"
"Okay!"
V grinned like a giant beast showing its sharp teeth. He moved his fists and said with a big smile:
"You can exchange a knife for a legend to join the team. It's not a bad job. Come on, come on, I've chosen the place."
He pulled Mason all the way into the underground area in front of him. Sure enough, there was a space opened up. Judy was asked to be the referee. The two took off their coats and made boxing movements.
The moment Judy started shouting, V suddenly noticed a light shining on Mason's left ring, and then his perception and detection of enemies immediately lost Mason's figure.
At the same time, a clenched fist hit him in the face. The kinetic energy carried by this sonic punch knocked V's feet off the ground. He lifted up and was hit hard in the stomach by Mason, causing him to fall immediately. On the ground.
"You cheated!"
The famous V rubbed his chin and got up, looking unconvinced at Mason who was moving his wrist in front of him. He moved his neck, activated some incredible prosthetic body, and said:
"In that case, I won't be polite. Judy! Those who are not cheating should stay away to avoid accidental injuries."
The "friendly boxing match" between the two men is about to get underway.
But it was actually over after a few seconds.
"Night City Boxing Champion" V lost miserably. In the ten seconds of boxing, he was knocked down by the opponent's "sonic punch" without even touching the corner of Mason's clothes.
Even the Sean Westan prosthetic body used for "time stop" was completely unable to capture Mason's figure. It had been proven before in Gotham that the pure acceleration of the prosthetic body could not keep up with the reaction of the speed runner.
Judy, as the temporary referee, simply made a "technical knockout" penalty in order to prevent the two from getting involved.
Of course, the price Mason paid for winning this boxing match was quite heavy. The Speed Force was used for a full ten seconds, leaving the bones of his hands on the verge of being "fragmented."
Fortunately, this wasn't a life-and-death fight. Otherwise, he didn't know if something would happen to V after the "Seven Injury Fist" was finished. Mason's hands would definitely not be saved.
"How can this be called cheating?"
Mason applied ointment to his trembling hands, poured the epic healing potion into his mouth, and then said slowly to the male V in front of him:
"You didn't say you can't use equipment. I don't have the military prosthetic body you have, but I also have my own methods."
"Hey, people who can use the Speed Force speak hard."
V is not an ignorant person either.
He glanced at the yellow crystal ring on the little finger of Mason's left hand, and a faint blue halo appeared in his eyes. He might be analyzing the composition of this thing or recording the record of the battle with the "Pseudo Speedster" just now.
Although there was dissatisfaction on his face, there was no unconvinced expression after failure.
Originally, this impromptu boxing match was just to deepen the contact and understanding between the two parties, and it was not really about winning, otherwise he would not have said anything about not using the gorilla arm.
That military prosthetic body is incredible.
According to Judy's previous explanation, the force of a military-grade gorilla arm's instant punch can beat ordinary people into pieces. It is a real murderous prosthetic body that is as sharp as a mantis knife.
"Okay, if you win, this knife belongs to you."
The cheerful legendary mercenary took out a bandage and put it on the wound on his chin. He grabbed it and threw the black sheathed samurai sword to Mason.
I'm willing to admit defeat, the men of Night City have always been generous.
Mason did not refuse, reaching out and grabbing the heavy katana in his hand.
He held the handle of the knife with his backhand and pulled it out by a third. The sharp blade was well maintained and reflected Mason's slightly tired eyes like a mirror.
This thing is a typical Japanese knife. It has a simple grid that looks very grand, and its information label quickly appeared in front of Mason:

"The second barrels on your team are sure to love it."
Judy walked up to Mason and whispered to him:
"Baby V, this is a broken knife. He won't show it to others easily. As a result, not only did he bring it with him today, but he also came here to make a bet with you. It shows that he wanted to give this thing to you.
That's what these old and rough mercenaries are like.
They are so pretentious that they can't express their disgusting thanks, so they can only use this stupid method. ”
"You people in Night City are so generous."
Mason grinned, put the sleeper into his luggage, and planned to find an opportunity to give it to Erbang later. He put on his coat and said to V, who was playing with a cigarette in front of him:
"I don't know why you came here to give me the baby, but thank you."
"This is not a random gift."
V picked up the cigarette, and Mason rubbed his fingers to pop out the magic fire to light it for him. As the smoke rose, the young legendary mercenary reached out and patted Mason on the shoulder, saying:
"Thank you for helping us get rid of the sandstorm.
What that bastard did in Night City was disgusting. Unfortunately, I was already dead at that time. When I came back to life for the second time, my world was gone. I kept running around and had no time to take revenge with my own hands.
We insist that you get paid for your work. Although I don't work as a middleman, I can't let you work for nothing. ”
"In that case, why did you give me a knife?"
Mason said in confusion:
"A legendary mercenary like you should be able to tell at a glance that I don't use a knife, right? Can't you give me a gun? I think the one you have on your waist is good."
V suddenly showed a look that didn't deserve a beating.
He grinned with big white teeth and raised his jacket, revealing the silver Johnny Gun on his belt, which was exactly the same as the gun on Mason's belt.
But obviously this is the "genuine" one.
The body of the silver gun still has the scratches left by Johnny Silverhand during the fierce battle at Arasaka Tower.
"Don't you have one?
Although the replica made by Judy is not very good, it is enough for you, and didn’t I just say that? I have always wanted to personally avenge my cesspit hometown. Didn’t you beat me to it?
You drove away my girlfriend's demon lizard. If I give you another gun, I'll be at a loss. ”
He waved his hand and said:
"Okay, I've said all that needs to be said. Go see the captain quickly and don't keep him waiting."
The famous V stood by the window of this place, leaning on his hips and looking at the transfer door that was still operating in the distance. He blew out a smoke ring and said to Mason without looking back:
"Also, Captain Mason, if you need help in doing such exciting work in the future, just let me know and I will definitely join in if I am not busy.
I've had enough of the gloomy days of fighting and killing in my last life and the life before that, and now this kind of work is just to my liking.
Salvation and hope, such beautiful and distant words.
It sounds like it makes people want to burn some place to ashes. "(End of Chapter)
