Cyberpunk: 2075

Chapter 268 30. Prosthetic transformation

In the afternoon when Carl's team decided to rent a house, they came to Victor's clinic.

Lao Wei, as always, was watching his boxing match that he seemed to never tire of.

"Hey, Lao Wei."

After several people greeted Lao Wei, who turned around after hearing the noise, Karl asked about the purpose of their arrival today: "Has the prosthetic body that was transported arrived?"

"If you are asking about military technology products, they arrived yesterday.'

Lao Wei turned his chair to face Karl: "Why, Lao Wei, I always feel like you guys are treating me here as a prosthetic warehouse, throwing everything in my direction. Although Lao Wei, I am not a garbage collector. But it’s not a luxury store.”

"Well, isn't it that Lao Wei deserves to be assured of your craftsmanship?"

Karl said with a smile: "We can't let us go to those prosthetics doctors who are not worthy of their reputation. In the entire Night City, you, Lao Wei, have the best skills. We have good ones, so why bother looking for bad ones? ”

"Just think I accept your compliment."

Lao Wei shook his head helplessly and saw V walking at the back of the group. With a kind smile on his face, he looked towards V.

He said hello alone: ​​"Long time no see V, are you ready to start working in the city?"

"Well, I haven't seen you for a long time, Lao Wei. I'm planning to work together with Carl and the others... Then Carl said that there were some team benefits. He disliked my prosthetic body and couldn't keep up, so he asked me to pretend to be your prosthetic body."

V rubbed the back of his head and said something a little embarrassed when facing Old Wei. His words made Old Wei raise his eyebrows and glanced at Karl: "Don't listen to Karl's lies. The prosthetic body can't be fake." It’s not pretending after all.”

But after saying this, Lao Wei shook his head again:

"But this is all clear to those of you who are rushing to become mercenaries. Without a prosthetic body, you might have to lie down on a street corner waiting to die tomorrow. Forget it, just lie there and watch first. Look, V, you haven’t installed a prosthetic body on my side yet, right? There are many prosthetic bodies that your team has plenty of that are not highly objectionable. You choose first.

Access test, let me see how adaptable you are. "

While V was lying on the operating chair obediently, Jack also found a seat in the clinic and waited: "Today I also have to wear a new violent type, so don't forget about me, Old Wei."

"Remember it, don't forget it. You two have a full schedule of surgeries this afternoon, so I don't have any time to spare."

Listening to Lao Wei's complaints as he started to move, Karl said a little embarrassedly: "Old Wei, I actually plan to install a prosthetic body today, for my legs. Recently, I have found that I am a bit slow in my movements. I want to enhance it.”

"And you?"

Lao Wei temporarily stopped what he was doing, glanced at Karl, and then nodded slightly: "That's okay. At worst, Lao Wei, I will continue to be busy in the evening."

"Then I'll go buy dinner for you later. Lao Wei, what do you like to eat? I'll ask Misty later and we'll buy them all together."

Today, the only one who didn't plan to undergo prosthetic transformation, Oliver, was leaning against the door of the clinic to prevent unnecessary customers and interference. He was also planning to take care of the food shopping.

"I don't choose, just whatever is convenient to eat."

"Okay, let me see if there are pizzas, hot dogs or other things that are easy to eat with one hand nearby. Speaking of which,

Do we have the number of a hot dog shop called Old William Hot Dog? "

Listening to Oliver's words, Jack had some impression: "It's the same job we took out the scavenger, right? I remember he advertised it as 80% real meat, and ten euros is enough for a family to eat. Maybe you can try it, it's safe If you don’t believe his boast, there’s enough for the whole family, how about buying six of them?”

"I don't want a hot dog."

Karl raised his hand: "I can't accept the so-called real meat in hot dogs. Just give me pizza. I can still accept the current amount of meat in pizza. The locust one is fine. I'm surprised that it's okay."

"Extra spicy pepperoni pizza, right? It's my favorite. If you order this, give me one too." Regarding the pizza Carl mentioned, Jack obviously knew what he was talking about and couldn't help but complain:

"The locusts stuck to the pizza for meat are obviously so delicious. If you ask me, just swallow them in a big gulp. Every time you eat them, you eat them slowly, as if they are sticky in your throat."

"Now I can swallow it in one gulp. I've made progress. Not everyone has such a big mouth like you, Jack."

While Carl and Jack were sitting, Victor had already connected to V and did a basic test, and then Victor's expression changed a little.

V noticed the change in Victor's expression and asked curiously: "What's wrong, Victor? Is there something wrong with my prosthetic body?"

"The prosthetic body is okay. Apart from the rough installation method, the rough details, the broken parts, and the fact that the thing is a bit older, there's nothing major."

Lao Wei shook his head and said that it was not the prosthetic body that was wrong, and then said: "I just discovered V that you are adaptable to the prosthetic body.

The test seemed to work surprisingly well. Although this is just a test and does not represent what it will be like to actually install the prosthesis, but with your adaptability, among the receptionists in Night City so far, I have Just two. "

After listening to Lao Wei's words, Karl and others looked at him, and V then asked: "Two,

It seems that I am quite special. Is it good or bad, Lao Wei? "

"From a physical point of view, it may not be particularly good, because it means that you can install a replacement prosthetic body on it at will, and it will still be the same as the original body. There is no difference at all. But from your perspective, then Not bad, it means that if you want, you can put on some awesome stuff and hope to become Big Brother's prosthetic body right away."

"Lao Wei, is this a good word or a bad word?"

V didn’t quite understand what Lao Wei said, but after sighing, Lao Wei said bluntly:

"It couldn't be better for the mercenary career you plan to do."

"Are you so awesome?"

V obviously also knows the value of being able to install prosthetics at will. Is it possible that he is the same as Adam Hammer?

"To be honest, as a doctor, sometimes I really don't want to see you two. People who can install prosthetics at will are just like mechanical parts. If this continues, I always feel that you two will be separated. I don’t know whether I am a human or a machine.”

"Two of you?"

V listened to Lao Wei's words, looked in the direction of Lao Wei's eyes, and understood who the so-called other person was. Who has such adaptability in Night City? Besides himself, is there also Karl?
