Start in Night City

There is no regret medicine you can buy in the world.

In fact, regarding cyberpsychosis, Su Xiao has watched it again during these times

some documents.

We have a better understanding of cyberpsychosis.

He found that people suffering from this disease were almost all cyber mercenaries who came and went, as well as low-level company guards and security forces.

Like the top thugs, such as Saburo Arasaka's valet, Goro Takemura.

Another example is Arasaka Hanako's personal attendant, Oda Santao.

They are also highly prosthetic all over.

A military-grade prosthetic body should have a lot of equipment.

But cyberpsychosis seems to have nothing to do with this kind of person.

Whether it was Goro Takemura or Sitafu Oda, let alone going crazy, they didn't even show any signs.

Why don't they get cyberpsychosis?

Perhaps, experts who have worked on Zeta Technology’s cybernetic body research team can answer this question:

The expert believes that cyberpsychosis is entirely caused by contemporary lifestyle.

It is a by-product of people’s excessive emphasis on modern technology and its integration with daily life.

Although cybernetic implants can directly affect the chemical reactions in our brains, they are still nothing more than catalysts for disease.

Our world has a serious tendency to dehumanize.

The automated machines and artificial intelligence around us are increasing day by day.

Our lover replaces the eyes, lips and face given by nature with a metal mask.

Some of us gradually forget the essence of human beings and slowly fall into complete alienation and deep-rooted fear.

We have lost the ability to distinguish between what is real and what is artificial, digital, cyber...

Such people begin to isolate themselves, lose empathy, and experience large mood swings characterized by sadistic tendencies.

The scariest part, however, is that the vast majority of patients will never be diagnosed.

Not all cyberpsychopaths are registered veterans or former mercenaries equipped with Sianwestan reflex technology.

Not everyone will engage in intense firefights with the Terrorist Mobile Team.

In our world, many cyberpsychopaths have only one implant: a knee, a liver.

They go unnoticed, unnoticed.

They close themselves off, shutting out friends, colleagues, and loved ones.

The world outside the Internet and their delusions disappear from conscious thought.

They were terminally ill, alone, and no one was doing anything about it.

To sum it up in easy-to-understand words, the pressure is too great, there is nowhere to vent, the mentality is broken, and I push myself to a dead end. My thoughts become more and more extreme, thinking that the whole society and all mankind are targeting me, and finally go to extremes.

…

…

PS: Current progress (57000/65000).

It's over in two days.

It just so happened that it was almost the day when the lockdown was lifted.

Great.

Chapter 89 The street is so quiet, no one is there (4K)

"By the way, Rebecca, do you know any reliable prosthetists?"

Rebecca shook her head.

Her brother Pyrrha was half a technical expert.

But the daily maintenance is okay.

Just replace the prosthetic body.

There is still a big gap between Pila's level and that of professional prosthetics doctors.

"Then how do you usually replace your prosthetic body?"

Lidya Su asked curiously.

Rebecca tilted her head and talked.

"The prosthetic body is either looted from the dead, or bought from Faraday. As you know, middlemen have everything, as long as you have enough money."

"You can go to regular hospitals for prosthetic reconstruction surgery, but the cost there is too high and we can't afford it. Moreover, doctors in regular hospitals usually don't perform surgery on you right away. Instead, they have to talk a lot of nonsense first. Check this, check that.”

Rebecca clenched her fists, her mouth was bulging like a hamster stuffed with food, and she stamped her feet.

"What's even more irritating is that after the final examination, there is a high chance that he will say that you are not eligible and that you need to take good care of your body before you want to have surgery."

"So we usually go to underground clinics, you know, the ones with pink signs and looks like that kind of place."

Lucy instinctively touched the back of her neck.

During the days when she was forced to escape Arasaka's pursuit, Lucy also encountered a sinister doctor.

If she hadn't been alert enough, she wouldn't have been able to stand here alive, and the grass on the graves wouldn't even be tall.

"Aren't you afraid of running into a rogue clinic?"

"Afraid, so every time Mann goes to upgrade his prosthetic body, Dorio will accompany him."

Rebecca bent her arms and showed off her non-existent biceps: "The eldest sister came from the Animal Gang. With her body, if she really encounters a rogue clinic, the rogue doctor will have to weigh it."

Su Xiao agreed with Rebecca's words, but...

"With Dorio's company, even if you encounter someone with bad intentions, the other party will not dare to do anything. But nearly half of the underground clinics in Night City do not have medical qualification certificates, do you know that?"

"Those barefoot doctors are not qualified to be on the operating table at all. To survive from their hands is purely due to luck."

Rebecca's face darkened and she lowered her head: "I know, I know, but... there is nothing we can do about it.

"

They are just ordinary members of the crowd in Night City.

Mercenaries like them are as numerous as the stars in the sky.

There are only a handful of conscientious doctors like Lao Wei in Night City.

Unfortunately, they were not so lucky.

When Su Xiao saw Rebecca showing this look, she immediately understood their difficulty.

He patted his chest and said.

"If you can trust me, I will introduce you to a reliable prosthetic doctor."

"Do you know a prosthetic doctor?" Rebecca nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking at rice, "I can trust it! You have helped us so much, how can we not trust it?"

But then, as if she was worried, she added: "It's just...how is the level?"

"I just said that I can trust you. Xiaonizi has a lot of scheming ideas."

Lidya Su smiled and touched Rebecca’s head.

They say once is raw, twice is familiar.

When Lidya Su touched her head before, Rebecca just held back and didn't get angry.

But after being slapped on the head several times, Rebecca was surprised to find...

It seems quite comfortable.

Being touched occasionally doesn't seem to be a bad feeling.

"Don't worry, Lao Wei is the most powerful prosthetic doctor in the Night City. Even doctors in regular hospitals can't compare with him. He didn't come from a medical school, but a highly sophisticated talent who went to Japan for further study. ."

When she was staying in Victor's clinic, Su Xiao accidentally scanned with the tactical eyepiece.

Then I discovered that in the desk drawer where Lao Wei often used to put the LCD screen - the screen used to watch boxing matches, lying quietly was a certificate of graduation from the University of Tokyo Medical School Affiliated Hospital.

Su Xiao also asked Lao Wei face to face.

But Victor just smiled gently.

Said it was all in the past.

Not worth mentioning.

Seeing that Lao Wei seemed to have a past that he didn't want to recall, Su Xiao didn't force it.

But to say Laowei YYDS, this is not too much.

…

Now that Victor had been introduced to Rebecca, Su Xiao simply asked Rebecca to tell Mann and the others:

If their team needs weapons...whether they are kinetic weapons, technical weapons, or smart weapons, they can come to them.

Su Xiao can currently make kinetic weapons and technical weapons.

As long as the materials are available, the cost is almost negligible.

Therefore, if Mann's team needs weapons, it is cheaper to purchase them from him than to go directly to the streets and buy firearms from unknown hands.

As for smart weapons, Su Xiao will not be able to make them for a while.

But if they need it, they can find a middleman to buy it themselves.

Some people may ask, since they all want to buy, can't they purchase the goods themselves from a middleman?

In fact, the difference between buying from Faraday and buying from themselves is:

Faraday only takes full payment;

And oneself allow them to stage.

The advantage of installment is that even if Mann and the others don't have that much money at the moment, they can still give some of it first.

If that doesn't work, you can get it on credit.

In this way, Mann and the others would not have to work hard to take high-risk jobs for money, and then turn around and upgrade their prosthetics because they have been on the verge of life and death all year round, falling into an endless cycle.

The Mann team is the first cyber mercenary team Su Xiao has encountered so far that he thinks is pretty good.

Everyone in the team is talented and speaks well.

Mann and Dolio are both people who value love and justice.

Sasha and Rebecca are not dishonest people either.

I have never been in contact with Pila Su Xiao, but since he is Rebecca’s brother, he must be good.

Therefore, if possible, Su Xiao still hopes that they can go as far as possible.

Instead of being as dazzling as fireworks and as fleeting as fireworks like other mercenary teams in the city.

What is foreseeable is that if he does not help, the team will definitely break up soon.

With Mann's leveling up speed, he might become a cyberpsycho before he can become a legend.

…

After chatting with Rebecca for a while, the old captain’s people finally arrived.

While picking up Juliet, he also took away the data the old captain needed from Su Xiao.

The next day after returning, Lidya Su received a call from Rebecca.

Mann and Dolio have already watched the video he recorded at Juliet's house.

After witnessing with my own eyes how Juliet's sister Rose changed from a normal person to a cyber madman step by step, and drove Juliet to a dead end...

Mann fell silent.
