"Isn't this our eldest son Karl? What are you doing?"

"Don't be funny Oliver, I'm looking at something."

It had been the second day since Carl had chosen his blank identity. Carl had just taken out his computer to connect to Night City's local area network to look at something early in the morning. Oliver, who had rarely gotten up early, "floated" out of the kitchen and came over to his side.

"What are you looking at?"

V, who had already gotten up early, also walked out of the kitchen, holding a plate in his hand. The plate contained sausages that he had packed from Arasaka Tower yesterday and a homemade bread and omelette. After walking a few steps, he placed the breakfast next to Carl: "Is it the same thing as yesterday?"

"No, I agreed on that matter last night."

Karl stared at the flashing pages on the computer screen, and finally let it stop at an interface: "I'm looking at what we talked about before."

"Let me see"

Oliver lay on the sofa where Carl was sitting, and leaned over to look at the computer Carl placed on the glass table in front of the sofa: "Is this interface the trauma team?"

"Yeah, the trauma team."

Carl's eyes moved, and the details of the trauma team's membership registration appeared on the screen, along with excellent cases of successful rescue and rescue by the trauma team. Looking at the content, Carl continued:

"Can't the trauma team order a short-term package of at least 24 hours? Didn't we consider giving it a try before? Although the trauma team service will be installed with positioning and biological monitoring, when performing dangerous tasks, we can temporarily buy a package to protect lives, and then cancel and remove the positioning and biological monitoring after completing the mission."

"Medical insurance that treats trauma teams as missions?"

Oliver had originally suggested this, and after hearing what Carl said, he agreed:

"Anyway, the cost of short-term services is not very high. We can also order a higher-end short-term package at that time. Apart from other things, if the quality is improved, the trauma team will really dare to snatch people from the hands of the god of death. Moreover, such a package will not cost too much because of the time issue. When doing dangerous tasks, the compensation can fully cover such insurance."

"Being alive is definitely better than anything else."

V went to get another breakfast for Oliver and himself. "I remember that the trauma team even dared to confront the company. I read a book that recorded that both Militech and Arasaka employees were rescued by the trauma team. In the end, in order to protect the safety of their employers, the two trauma teams shot at each other with the help of agents from both sides."

"It's a story about the corporate war period."

As someone who had admired and hoped to join the trauma team in the past, Oliver had naturally heard this story, but he also knew what would happen next:

"After that incident, I remember that some Arasaka and Militech employees learned to deliberately injure themselves to attract the trauma team for reinforcements. This incident almost made the trauma team unable to operate at the time, and they had to announce the temporary suspension of assistance to Arasaka and Militech employees."

Oliver shook his head.

"Their terms are too rigid. To put it nicely, it's called loyalty to duty, which makes people feel at ease. To put it bluntly, it's like using people as robots. After I found out the truth, I gave up the hope and admiration I had when I was young."

"That was a long time ago."

Karl looked at the package on the interface and said:

"It has been relaxed now. The trauma team still signs the employee package of Arasaka and Militech, but it is not like before, where a large number of full-time employees signed it. Now every employee will be assessed for danger in advance.
And I watched the trauma team perform a mission in their Mewtwo. In their Mewtwo, when they perform a mission against Arasaka and military technology, there is a danger and conflict assessment value. If it exceeds that value, they will not engage in fire, but will rob the person and run away while ensuring the life of the employer. "

"There are countermeasures below and policies above, right?"

Oliver complained and saw Carl controlling it, jumping to the payment interface.

"Let me see. Once the payment is made, a drone will deliver a special monitoring and positioning chip. Then we just need to insert it and we can use it."

Carl recited the relevant terms and conditions and looked at Oliver: "Do you want to try?" "Use me as a test subject?"

"Not really, but in terms of medical level and rescue testing, we have to use professionals."

After all, Oliver is the only doctor the team can provide.

"alright."

Oliver didn't mind it too much, he just complained out of habit. He put one hand on the sofa, didn't even go around to the side, just turned over, and then squeezed Carl:

"Come over, I'll come."

"Please, honorable doctor."

In order to avenge Oliver's previous sarcastic remarks to his master, Carl moved to the side and spoke in a deliberately flattering and polite tone to disgust Oliver.

"Knowing that I am noble, why don't you move faster?"

Oliver was not disgusted by Karl’s compliments. He raised his chin and deliberately acted impressive: “Now, the doctor has to come and evaluate the medical insurance.”

"As long as you are happy."

V, who was watching beside them, was speechless as he watched Carl and Oliver disgusting each other. However, he was very interested in the services of the trauma team, so he sat on the sofa, ate breakfast with his tray, and watched Oliver choose related services and pay.

Oliver flipped through the pages quickly, and just as Jack yawned and walked out of the room, he caught up with his complaint:
"No, Carl didn't log in before, so I saw that the price was not like this. Why did the price become more expensive after I logged in with my identity? How come the price is specially customized for individuals?"

“That’s not the case with long-term packages.”

V, who was watching nearby, pointed at the long-term packages on the screen and said, "I see that the price of the long-term packages has not changed at all. It's the short-term packages that suddenly changed after you, Oliver, logged in with your own identity."

"What are you looking at, the trauma team?"

Jack came down directly from the second floor of the large flat. After spending so much time with Carl, he was influenced to the point that he no longer liked to walk in a regular way. He stood behind Oliver's original sofa and looked at the content on the screen. After listening to his friends' discussion, Jack showed an understanding expression and explained to them:

"It is indeed different. My acquaintance in the Valentino gang has ordered this. It seems that gangs and high-threat individuals will be specially evaluated by the trauma team. In order to avoid them causing too much damage when ordering short-term services, people with special backgrounds will be more expensive in short-term prices."

"To put it simply, they are afraid that we will go on a 24-hour crazy adventure, so they want us to subscribe to a long-term membership package that will keep us under surveillance around the clock."

Oliver sighed, "It really is a company. They have already thought of everything we can think of, and they have even calculated the profits clearly."

"Who says it isn't?"

Carl took a look and said, "But the price is not bad. I just have to choose the mission. I was thinking that I could use the insurance during normal missions. Now it seems that it is only an emergency mission."

He was halfway through his words when his cell phone rang.

Carl usually uses his cell phone to receive text messages, and he has set it so that his phone will only ring when there are messages from important people.

The other people in the team also knew about this, and they all looked at Carl's phone together.

The name that popped up was
Mann.
