Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 64 42. Prosthetic Upgrade and Doll

After Carl and the other two got up and had breakfast, they did not stay in the room for long. On this rare free day when Blanca did not send any information, everyone had something to do.

Oliver planned to get himself a new sniper rifle, while Jack wanted to buy the motorcycle he had always dreamed of, and Carl was going to visit Old Wei to update his prosthetic body. It was too troublesome to do all these things at the same time, so not long after breakfast, the three of them separated.

However, although they were separated, Oliver actually acted as the driver and helped to send Carl and Jack to their destination first.

"I now suspect that the reason you bought the car, Karl, was because you thought you could sit more comfortably when I was the driver."

"Slander. I just wanted to be lazy."

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

After the prosthetic surgery, we will get together in the evening.

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

The only guest Victor had scheduled for today was Carl, so he had to make preparations early.

"Just do as we said yesterday, Carl."

Victor took out the prosthesis that had been ordered yesterday and arrived this morning from a place where prostheses were specially stored. Looking at Carl who seemed to be in good condition, he waved his hand to signal that he could lie on the operating table.

"I still need to check if these prosthetics have any backup plans. You lie down first and prepare yourself mentally."

"What kind of mental preparation do I need, Lao Wei? This isn't the first time."

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

Old Wei kept muttering like a nagging old woman, and Carl had no choice but to lie on the bed, listening to Old Wei and watching him check the prosthesis.

The prosthesis that Lao Wei is examining now was ordered for him by Karl, who paid him money and asked Lao Wei to use his connections as a prosthetic doctor. The total price is 192,000 Euros.

Ninety-two thousand ohms is for a single-molecule wire. The single-molecule wire at this price is longer than the one Carl used before, and is easier to charge. That is to say, if Carl encounters ACPA again, he may not need to drag it out for so long. A few exchanges will be enough to complete the charging and swing the single-molecule wire to peel the "skin" of ACPA off the rack.

The other 3 euros is for replacing the access warehouse. Until now, Carl has installed the cheapest access warehouse on the market, the "Military Technology Parallel Line". To be honest, the computing power of this thing is only slightly better than nothing. Rich people will definitely be extravagant. As for the new access warehouse, Carl chose the Arasaka Type .

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

It’s another Arasaka product. It’s not that Carl has any preference for Arasaka because his hand is from Arasaka. It’s just that this is the most expensive and best access warehouse that Victor can get.

The better option may be to circulate it only within the company.

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

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

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

"Surgery doesn't need to be boring."

Having said that, Lao Wei still only gave partial anesthesia as Carl requested, and then picked up the prosthesis to start 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, Carl tried to pop out the single molecule line in his right hand.

“It’s very smooth, there’s no sense of obstruction.”

"Where is the access warehouse?"

Carl felt it and found that his brain processed data much faster.

Glancing at Victor, Carl could feel that what he knew, and the various pieces of knowledge he had learned from Mewtwo, were gathering into a web in his mind.

Victor - Victor, Old Victor, a former boxer and current cyborg doctor, is in good physical condition, but his breathing is a little rapid, perhaps because he was too busy during the operation. His breathing will be stabilized after fourteen seconds. There are flaws at the fourth rib of the right body and at the left knee joint, which can break through the defense within 0.3 seconds and catch the target off guard.

The information that immediately flooded into Carl's mind made Carl blink and answer Lao Wei's question:

"That's not a problem. Rather, it seems that this computing power has increased my brain's activity, as if part of my computing burden has been handed over to it?"

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

Old Wei didn’t pay much attention to Karl’s words. After sitting in the chair and resting for a few seconds to calm his breathing, he said, “Don’t do strenuous exercise today. Get used to it for a while. You guys finally escaped death. Take a rest. Don’t let me find you guys for dinner in the evening and find out that you have accepted another mission. You don’t take care of your bodies. Next time I perform surgery on you guys, I won’t use anesthesia.”

In fact, he had already accepted it, but it was impossible for him to tell Lao Wei honestly, so Carl chose to keep silent about it.

"I'll send word to Oliver and Jack."

Carl just said this and then said a temporary goodbye 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.

【Magic Puppet】: Virus, hacker software, attack program.

I have almost learned the basic hacking knowledge from Mewtwo. Now I can get in touch with the puppets and see if I can 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 selecting guns.

Does it take that long to choose a gun?
No, I almost forgot.

Carl touched the Lexington at his waist.

It seemed like he had to get a gun first, as he was still a little uneasy holding the Lexington.

In Carl's room armory, there are actually guns like Saratoga. He has more or less rifles, submachine guns, shotguns and other weapons, but the only pistol that can be carried with him and covered by clothes is a Lexington.

Can Lexington be considered a normal mercenary pistol?

Should I buy another Kenshin that I use quite well, or should I try other firearms?
Hmm. This is a question worth thinking about.
