Cyberpunk: 2075

"No money again."

This was the first sentence Oliver said after he paid, the drone transported the prosthesis to him, and installed it.

"It's true that we are out of money."

Jack, who had installed the prosthesis earlier than him, nodded and agreed with Oliver.

This time, the upgrade of the prosthesis almost emptied all their savings, and they were out of money.

"Spending money like water."

Carl said this while looking at the 1 million euros in his account. His original account balance had grown to a pleasant 1.09 million euros. This time, he upgraded the access warehouse and spent the money back.

Carl still had money, but the team had no money.

"Who told us to spend money so quickly?"

Oliver inhaled the inhibitor handed over by Lao Wei and said: "I bought a top-level gun like the Cat, Jack bought a motorcycle, and Carl, you not only have to upgrade the access warehouse, but also purchased high-end single-molecule wires before. How can this money be enough to spend?"

"Now I understand why mercenaries who have been on the streets for so long can only have ordinary prostheses. It turns out that the money is spent so quickly."

Carl recalled the Mann team and the Brown team he met during the escort mission. They established the team on the street much longer than his own team, but the weapons and prostheses they can use at this stage are similar to those of them who have just debuted.

Even Mann only raised enough money to upgrade the projectile launch system after that mission. It is really a bottomless pit that you don’t know until you spend money on prostheses.

"Now I understand why so many mercenaries would use second-hand prostheses even though they know they are harmful. This price is really beyond the reach of ordinary teams."

Hearing Oliver's words, Jack beside him smiled: "Oliver, do you mean that our team is already unusual?"

"We must be strong."

After inhaling the inhibitor, Oliver moved his body and said: "I feel that I am very strong now."

"Swelling?"

Carl looked at Oliver and asked curiously: "How does it feel? Can you withstand it?"

"I don't know until I try it. Let's try it first."

Oliver looked at Jack: "Jack, I'm going to be behind you."

After saying this, Oliver activated the Sanwestan.

Time seemed to slow down.

Oliver carefully experienced this special feeling he had never had before, and then took a step.

His actions left a trail of afterimages on the path he walked, which moved forward in slow time and finally gathered behind Jack.

But Jack had already turned around.

With the violent type prosthesis with stronger hormone regulation function, Jack's synaptic accelerator has been further enhanced, and the regulation of hormones has been upgraded, allowing Jack to start "time slowing" at any time to a certain extent.

During this time, Carl also came over and stretched out his hand with Oliver who came behind Jack. Time passed normally in the senses. From the perspective of the old Wei who was watching, Carl and Oliver suddenly disappeared from the spot, and Jack turned around, and the three of them put their hands together.

"Hoohoo, success."

After Oliver cheered, he looked at Carl with a bit of surprise: "Carl, how come your body can keep up with us now."

"Well...how to explain it? You can think that my hormones, nerve impulses, synaptic firing and other things can be regulated by myself now. It feels magical to say it, just like my body has turned into a whole prosthesis that can be controlled and used by me. Do you understand?"

"I understand the terms you mentioned. I know medical skills after all, but I don't understand the situation. However, to put it simply, you can not only keep up with the reaction, but also the action?"

"It requires computing power to operate, which is not so easy to keep up. It can be regarded as a limitation. Generally speaking, if you want to use this part of computing power to invade people, you can't accelerate the reflex nerves for too long, and vice versa."

Listening to Carl's words, Jack next to him understood something.

That is, for Carl, the computing power of the current Arasaka Type 4 seems to be a little insufficient.

"Your body is really special."

Jack didn't know the specific situation, so he looked at Lao Wei: "Lao Wei, what's the explanation for Carl's situation?"

"I've been practicing medicine for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered this. Don't think about it. If you insist on finding excuses..."

Lao Wei thought for a while and said: "As the saying goes, there are all kinds of things in the world. Maybe this is Carl's own talent."

"Very good, so everyone can act quickly."

Oliver smiled: "I was worried that if we were fast, you, Carl, would not be able to keep up."

"Men should not be too fast."

Carl waved his hand. He stared at Oliver, and was more concerned about: "How does Sian Westin feel, can he bear it?"

"For now, it seems to be okay for one time. I don't know what the final limit is."

"Let's check it again."

At Lao Wei's signal, Oliver lay back on the operating table.

"Well, there was no reaction of synapse rupture, structural collapse or partial melting. Maybe the Zeta Technology Sianwistan is a good product and puts less pressure on people. It may also be because Oliver is still talented in this area. The reason why is that this Siam Westin is a small burden on you.”

Listening to what Lao Wei said after the examination, Oliver was overjoyed: "Then wouldn't I be awesome?"

"Don't be complacent, kid. Although he's in good condition, a prosthetic body like Si'an Westan is a burden for the human being. If possible, you'd better not use it more than four times a day. If it's exceeded, there may be... Some kind of risk... By the way, you should also take a look at the dosage of your immunosuppressant."

After warning Oliver, Lao Wei handed over a list.

"There is also Jack's, you can take it together. Few people can avoid rejection, but your reaction is considered weak, so if you adapt to it for a while, you should be able to stop using immunosuppressants;

But during this period of time, we really can't install any more prosthetics. If we try a new prosthesis before the adaptation period of the previous prosthetic body's immunosuppressant suppression has passed, sooner or later we will die on the street. . "

"You know, Lao Wei, this time I'll make a slight exception. With you here, we will definitely abide by the doctor's orders."

Oliver, who had neither time nor money in a short period of time, as a person who knew medical skills, listened to Lao Wei's instructions honestly and took the list over.

What they took was the instructions for use. The relevant immunosuppressant Laowei had already prepared it and placed it next to it.

Just wait and take it with you when they leave.

"Then next, we have to find a way to take over the mission."

After making sure that both Jack and Oliver were fine, Carl talked about the key things.

"The only question now is who we should find to take over the task."

Familiar intermediaries usually take the initiative to find mercenaries when they have a task, but if they don't call, it often means that the intermediary thinks that the task is not suitable for the mercenary or is not high enough to hire the mercenary. But for Karl and the others, they have no money. It’s no good if you don’t look for tasks.

Fortunately, just as the three of them were discussing whether they should go to the Wild Wolf Bar to pick up some small jobs tomorrow like before, they remembered where the big names went.

A place where the reward will definitely be more than the small tasks in the Wild Wolf Bar.

It’s time to go to the next life.
