Cyberpunk: 2075

After the three Karls got up and had breakfast, they didn't stay in the room for long. On this rare free day when Blanca didn't send any information, everyone had their own things to do.

Oliver planned to get himself a new sniper rifle, while Jack wanted to buy the motorcycle he longed for, and Carl planned to go to Lao Wei to update his prosthetic body. It would be too troublesome to do these things together, so in Not long after breakfast, the three of them separated.

However, despite being separated, it was actually Oliver who served as the driver and helped take Carl and Jack to their destination first.

"I now suspect that the reason why you bought a car, Karl, is just so that you can sit more comfortably when I am the driver."

"Slander, I just want to be lazy."

After saying goodbye to Oliver and Jack in the car, Carl went to find Victor.

After the prosthetic surgery, we still have to get together in the evening.

After passing through Misty's psychic room and saying hello to Misty, Carl walked to the back door and went out all the way to the left, and then came to Victor's Clinic located in the basement of the alley.

The only guest Victor has made an appointment for today is Karl, so he has to prepare early.

"Just go with what you said yesterday, Carl."

Taking out the prosthetic body that was ordered yesterday and had just arrived in the morning from the place dedicated to storing prosthetic bodies, Victor looked at Karl, who seemed to be in good condition, and waved to indicate that he could lie down on the operating table.

"I still need to check whether these prosthetics have any backup. You should lie down first and be mentally prepared."

"What kind of mental preparation do I need, Lao Wei? This is not the first time."

"You can't say that. Every operation is dangerous, so you can't be careless."

Like a nagging old mother, Lao Wei muttered to himself, and Karl didn't want to listen. He could only lie on the bed and listen to what Lao Wei said, while looking over his head to watch him inspect the prosthetic body.

The prosthetic body that Lao Wei is examining now was ordered by Karl who paid Lao Wei for him to rely on his connections as a prosthetic doctor. The total price is 192,000 euros.

Ninety-two thousand ohms is a single molecule line. The single molecule line at this price is longer than the single molecule line that Carl used to have, and it is easier to charge. In other words, if Carl encounters ACPA again, he may not be able to charge it. It doesn't take that long anymore. After a few strikes, the charge can be completed and the monomolecular wire can be swung to peel off the 'skin' of ACPA from the frame.

The other 100,000 euros is the money to replace the access warehouse. Until now, Carl has installed the cheapest access warehouse on the market, the 'Military Technology Parallel Line'. The computing power of this thing is, to be honest, only It's better than nothing. Those with money must have luxury. As for the new access warehouse, Carl chose the Arasaka Type 3.

[Arasaka Type 3]: A top-level access warehouse for cyber hackers specializing in covert infiltration and espionage operations.

It's Arasaka goods again. This is not because Carl has a preference for Arasaka because he has Arasaka goods. It's just that this is the most expensive and best access warehouse that Victor can get.

Even better, it may only be circulated within the company.

After checking for a while and making sure that all the small programs left in the prosthesis had been deleted, Lao Wei sat next to the chair on the operating table.

"It will take about two hours. Do I need anesthesia?"

"Partial anesthesia is enough. This way I can chat with you, Lao Wei, to relieve my boredom."

"Surgery doesn't require relief."

Having said that, Lao Wei still only gave partial anesthesia according to Karl's request, and then picked up the prosthetic body and started the operation.

And the time was exactly as Lao Wei said, it only took two hours to complete.

"How does it feel?"

Listening to Lao Wei's words, Karl tried to pop out the single molecular line on his right hand.

“It’s very smooth and there’s no hindrance.”

"Where's the access warehouse?"

Karl felt it, and he found that the speed of his brain processing data became much faster.

Glancing at Victor, Carl could feel that what he knew and the various knowledge he learned from Mewtwo were gathered into a network in his mind.

Victor - Victor, Lao Wei, a former boxer and current prosthetic doctor, is in good physical condition, but his breathing is a little short. He may be a little busy during the operation. His breathing will calm down after fourteen seconds. There are holes in the four ribs and the knee joint of the left leg. It can break through the defense in 0.3 seconds, leaving the target unsuspecting.

The information that poured into Karl's mind at this moment made Karl blink and answer Lao Wei's question:

"There is no problem. Rather, it seems that this computing power has increased my brain activity, as if part of my calculation burden has been handed over to it?"

"How is that possible? This thing is just an access chamber, not a brain supplement."

Lao Wei didn't pay much attention to Karl's words. After sitting on the chair and resting for a few seconds to calm down his breathing, he said: "Don't do any strenuous exercise today. Let's get used to it for a while. You guys finally escaped death. Let's all take a rest. Don’t let me come to you for dinner at night and know that you have taken on another task. If you don’t take care of your body, I won’t use anesthesia next time I perform surgery on you guys.”

....

In fact, he had already accepted it, but it was naturally impossible to say this honestly to Lao Wei, so Karl chose to shut up and not talk about it.

"I'll bring a message to Oliver and Jack."

Karl just said this, and then said a temporary farewell to Lao Wei.

He planned to go to Kabuki Market before the dinner party in the evening. There was a hacker shop there where he could buy some puppets.

[Puppet]: virus, hacker software, attack program.

He had learned the basic hacker knowledge from Mewtwo, and now he could get in touch with puppets to see if he could try to be a hacker.

Carl sent a message to Oliver, asking where his full-time "driver" was, and was then told that he was still choosing guns.

Does it take so long to choose a gun...

No, I almost forgot.

Carl touched the Lexington on his waist.

He seemed to have to get a gun first. He was a little uneasy holding the Lexington.

In Carl's room armory, there were actually guns like Saratoga. He had more or less rifles, submachine guns, shotguns and other weapons, but he only had a Lexington as a pistol that could be covered by clothes.

Can Lexington be considered a normal mercenary pistol?

Should I buy another Kenshin, which is quite easy to use, or try other guns...

Hmm... This is a question worth thinking about.
