Chapter 5 Prosthetic Upgrades and Directions of Development
"I'm sorry." "It seems that if you don't want to die right away, your only option is to be an ordinary person and live at least a few more years."
The good news is that you can at least afford the latest operating system prosthetics and won't be disabled. ”
Lille didn't speak, but suddenly remembered that in the story of "Shadows of the Past", there was an ending, and the legendary mercenary V chose to be an ordinary person.
Giving up his own reliance, a powerful prosthesis and ability, choosing to save his life, no longer being able to pretend to be any combat prosthesis, and becoming a real common man --
In the game, you can be hit by a car at any time, and you can be killed by a stray bullet.
Lying on the operating chair, Lille looked at the medical report on the tablet and said:
"I'm going to pick the third one -- I'm going to buy something, a device that's good for novice prosthetics and hackers to get started with — the old-fashioned kind, and I'm going to get a brain-computer interface for me, and by the way, a prosthetic eye."
The prosthetic doctor looked surprised:
"So you're going to use traditional technology in 2077 and be a traditional technician?
If you're lucky, I happen to have a batch of obsolete equipment in my hands, which is the absolute top of the line in 2020, but now, no one uses it.
As for the brain-computer interface and the prosthetic eye, this is indeed one of the few basic prosthetics that you can install, at least you can use Mewtwo or something. ”
"And then I'm going to decorate this friend with some goodies, can you get a discount?"
"Look at how big the list is -- let's get it off against the money to erase the official serial number, which isn't cheap in Atlanta."
"Deal, nice to work with, doctor."
V, who was standing on the sidelines, was even more surprised - seriously, for a moment, V thought that Lille would be greedy for a deposit and give himself a high-level operating system - that is, a central nervous system implant.
Unexpectedly, he really planned to upgrade his prosthetic body as a thug.
"I've got to say, I've changed my mind, you're still a kind of guy -- then you're welcome."
......
The brain-computer interface mainly affects the brain, and is the most basic implant in the world, and it is also the most cost-effective implant for Lille.
This thing allows Lille to read some of the contents of the split chip and display it on the prosthetic eye.
The eyes were replaced with the Dachang brand Qiluji Prosthetic Eye Type 2, and considering the physical load, only one eye was replaced, which was a bargain, and only one was installed.
After all, he is not a combatant.
During the operation, Lille studied his medical report in detail.
There are many items in the physical examination, including various types of cells - epidermal cells, bone cells, heart muscle cells, kidney cells, etc., compatibility tests, as well as immune system strength tests and anti-allergy tests, etc.
From this report, we can see that in 2077, medical technology has advanced in those places.
While looking at it, Lille searched the Internet for some information, such as what methods are used in skeletal cell fit testing, and so on.
I have to say that the company's dog royal prosthetic doctor service is still very thoughtful and there are no mistakes.
It took about two hours for Lille to read all the reports and get a general idea of how the tests worked, how and what they were doing – but honestly, it was really very efficient.
Especially considering that he also has to withstand the analgesia of the immune response.
[Affected by Creation: Prosthetic Immune Response (Weak)]
[Effect: Minor mental disturbance caused by pain and vertigo]
Do you want to remove the interference? 】
[Removed]
Although my mind will not be shaken by this, the pain is real, and it is a wonderful feeling.
[Finished reading, tech +5]
[Implanted prosthetic eye: Giroji type 2]
[Implanted prosthesis: network supervision public version of brain-computer interface]
[First implant type, increased technology point reward]
[Current Technology Points: 50]
It seems that the so-called technology points will be gained when you are exposed to new technologies.
According to the system, technology points can be used to help him understand and master technology, and Lille thought about it and generated a request in his head.
[General Technique: Prosthetic Implant Surgery (Entry-level)]
[Current learning progress: 60%]
[Technology points required for quick mastery: 8 points]
However, if it is just a beginner, he will be able to fully master the entry-level prosthetic implant surgery in a little time, so naturally there is no need to spend points.
Lille looked at the time - it was the eighth hour he had been in this world.
Another world is about to dawn.
"Hey, system, what am I going to do on the other side of the world?"
[In another world, the host can complete basic activities and try to do some simple learning]
[The results of the action will be displayed in text here.] 】
Whew...
The door to the operating room opened, and V walked out, looking very refreshed.
"Here is the list of surgeries, subcutaneous armor, recoil control, strengthening tendons, bone reconstruction, bionic joints, Krenchikov, nerve coordinator, blood pump, response coordinator... It's all what you ask for, a combat prosthetic without a complex floppy drive, plus your goods, a total of 200,000 euros after the discount. ”
"Lump sum payment, V, payment."
"It's the first time I've spent so much money, and it feels weird, but now I'm going to be Superman, let's go kill that..."
The prosthetic doctor hurriedly raised his hand: "Don't say it here, or I'll call the police!" ”
V looked over and Lille shrugged.
"Okay, okay, pay and leave, where is my goods?"
......
With a bang, V closed the trunk and sat in the driver's seat.
"And now? Let's just kill that Cai or what? ”
Lille glanced at the fierce goddess of war, "I know the prosthetic body has increased your confidence, but it shouldn't have gotten to the point of making you a cyber psychopath, right?" ”
"If you have something to say, don't talk about these things all the time."
"I just read Kangtao's report on the underground forces in Atlanta, and I have to say that there is really not much room for underground activities in this place."
"yes, it's boring." V shrugged his shoulders, "In addition to going to work, it is overtime, and I feel that even the underworld is working overtime." ”
"But I still found the guy we needed, Steven Knott, the boss of the Veterans Association, found him, and we talked about a deal."
"What's that?" V wondered, "I thought you were talking about gangs, what kind of association is this..."
"Oh, that's what their gang calls over here - you haven't known for so long? They're like... The Six Streets Gang of Night City.
But here, gangs with heads and faces don't call themselves so-and-so gang - urban culture. ”
V started the car and said with a blank face: "Well, I know, it's just a little surprised by their strange naming fetish, what kind of business are they talking about?" ”
She can't say that she's been here for so long, and she's still looking for those XX gangs, right?
No wonder they are all poor, with more dirty work and less money.
Lille didn't think much about it, and continued: "First of all, we have too few people, we need hackers to create a safe environment for operations, Nott just has the resources in his hands, and he should be behind military technology, and the people who do Kangtao have no pressure on them." ”
"I thought you were a hacker genius -- you could just take an old computer and flatten the network equipment."
Lille shrugged: "Not yet, anyway, we're going to find this Noether, in addition to asking him to help... We also need to get him to give us insurance. ”
"Let someone you never see cover for you?" V quipped, "It sounds like an electric light in the toilet - looking for death, are you so sure he won't kill us halfway?" ”
"Don't worry." Lille looked out the window at the street scene flashing, "I'll make him a condition that he can't refuse." ”
V looked at him in surprise: "You want me to point a gun at him?" ”
"I... I mean, everybody has money to make.
Gangs in this place don't make a lot of money in the first place, can you believe that a large part of the funding for such a gang comes from veterans' subsidies in the new America..."
Lille looked out the window at the harmonious society and sighed in his heart.
In the year 2077, not all places will be like Night City.
There's a reason why V can't mess around here.
