Chapter 16 Installing Prosthetics

To be honest, there are actually certain risks in finding a prosthetic doctor in Night City.

It's okay if you meet someone who doesn't use anesthesia, but I'm afraid of meeting someone who hurts your kidneys.

Be happy if you can find a reliable cyborg doctor in Night City.

"If you're ready, I'll start."

Hearing Lao Wei's deep voice, Ling Luxian felt very relieved.

"I'm ready, Old Wei."

Lao Wei paused for a moment, obviously stunned.

This silly boy, does he trust me so easily?

"Kid, don't trust others so easily. It's easy to get hurt."

Lao Wei was talking while his hands were moving non-stop.

He skillfully opened the occipital part of the skull, slid the scalpel all the way down through the muscles, and took out a complete spine.

"Hmm~" Even after using anesthetics, Ling Luxian still felt a pain at this time.

"I don't trust others easily, Lao Wei. But I believe Jack. Besides, you don't look like a bad person."

"Hehe~" Hearing Ling Luxian's compliment, Lao Wei laughed twice without commenting.

"Oh, Lao Wei, aren't we installing a network access warehouse? This isn't a combat operating system like Sian Westin or Rampage, so why do we need to remove the spine?"

When Lao Wei was operating on the knife, Ling Luxian clearly felt a chill on his back, and he vaguely guessed what Lao Wei had done.

So he asked directly.

Lao Wei could tell that he had no intention of questioning him, but he still said jokingly, "Why don't you trust me now?"

"Don't say that!" Ling Luxian quickly denied, "I'm just simply curious."

Lao Wei didn't reply because he was installing the core of the operating system into the back of Ling Luxian's head.

This thing has to be connected to the occipital lobe. If you're not careful, you might suffer from visual impairment at best, or turn into a fool at worst.

After installing the operating system core, Lao Wei breathed a sigh of relief?

He took out a mechanical spine and placed it in front of Ling Luxian.

Ling Luxian saw the condenser on it at a glance and figured out its function.

"Is this for cooling?"

"That's right." Lao Wei replied as he installed it: "This is the third generation of access equipment, equipped with the most advanced built-in cooling system.

However, with your current configuration, you cannot fully utilize its performance, but I think you will definitely update the configuration in the future, right?"

Ling Luxian had not expected that Lao Wei would think so far ahead. It was obvious that he had put a lot of thought into it, and he could not help but feel warm in his heart.

"Thanks, Lao Wei."

"You're welcome." Although Lao Wei's tone was calm, the smile that could not be suppressed at the corners of his mouth still revealed his mood.

After installing the operating system, Lao Wei asked Ling Luxian to get out of bed and turn over first, preparing to install the prosthetic eye.

Ling Lu got off the ground, stood up, and stretched his neck. He didn't feel any discomfort.

However, he activated the prosthetic panel and looked at his prosthetic capacity of "up to" 34 points, and Ling Luxian showed a satisfied smile.

Although this value is far inferior to V Zhentian, who can defeat everyone in seconds.

But it is 9 points higher than V when he just debuted, which is a good start.

Lao Wei couldn't help feeling a little smug when he saw Ling Lu smiling.

"Are you satisfied?"

Ling Luxian nodded repeatedly and gave a thumbs up: "Old Wei has great skills."

"Okay, stop flattering me. Lie down and get your prosthetic eye installed."

As he spoke, Lao Wei patted the treatment bed and motioned Ling Luxian to lie down.

After Ling Luxian lay down, Lao Wei took out the tools and said, "Your eyes will be black for a while, but don't worry, it will be fine after the operating system loads the artificial eye."

Lao Wei inserted the tool into Ling Luxian's eye socket. With a click, Ling Luxian's eyes went dark. Soon, Lao Wei put the artificial eye into his eye.

After the artificial eye was connected to the operating system, Ling Luxian felt a stream of data flash before his eyes, and the world in front of him suddenly became bright.

However, the vision is more like that in the game. The field of view can be expanded and scaled at will, and even the RAM bar of the operating system can be clearly seen.

"How does it feel?" Lao Wei asked.

Ling Luxian was as happy as a child. "It's a bit unbelievable. I felt like I was playing a computer game."

This experience is truly unprecedented.

Ling Luxian felt that he had only now truly integrated into this cyberpunk world.

Lao Wei smiled with satisfaction and added, "In addition to this, I have another gift for you. I have connected you to the NCPD outsourcing channel. Now you can receive their commissions and earn some pocket money.

You can also scan passers-by’s basic information to learn about their prosthetics and criminal records.”

"Thank you, Lao Wei." Ling Luxian gave Lao Wei a big hug.

As the saying goes, a small gift is worth a lot of thought. Moreover, Lao Wei's gift is not small at all!

Being able to see the status of your opponent's prosthetics allows you to make targeted plans, which greatly increases the tolerance in combat.

Lao Wei patted Ling Luxian on the back and said, "You're welcome. Good luck to you, kid."

Ling Luxian smiled slyly, "I'm not a child, I just look young, but I'm over seventy years old this year."

"Ok?"

Lao Wei was shocked because he had just performed surgery on Ling Luxian.

You have to know that both Ling Luxian's appearance and his muscle strength are completely in the state of a young man.

Even better than some young people.

This is entirely the effect of the physical enhancement, which completely resets the state of the body, not to mention the traces of time. The hidden injuries of this body over the years have all been repaired.

This is the hidden function of Feng Ling Yue Ying, but Ling Luxian doesn't know it at the moment.

Lao Wei smiled in relief: "I didn't expect that, but seeing your outfit, it is possible."

Ever since Ling Luxian came into the house, Lao Wei knew that he was either rich or noble.

It's not just because of the clothes, but also because of the confidence he exudes.

Lao Wei knew that Ling Luxian was not a simple person.

However, given that Ling Luxian's temperament was not overbearing, Lao Wei did not treat him like a company dog.

You have to know that when Lao Wei was young, he traveled all over the country and was a real living legend.

I have seen at least a hundred or eighty corporate dogs. They do not hide their arrogance, and their faces are polite, but their tails are almost up in the air.

Ling Lu held out his right hand, "Nice to meet you, Lao Wei. You can call me Tie Yu. I hope we can become friends."

Friends like Lao Wei are rare.

Ling Luxian was very envious when he saw the friendship between V and Lao Wei in the game.

Now that my fantasy has come true, how can I not be excited?

Lao Wei also extended his right hand and shook it. "We are already friends, aren't we?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Hahaha, Lao Wei, you're right. We are already friends. If there is anything else in the future, I will trouble you."

Lao Wei nodded, "You're most welcome."
