From Gotham to Night City, my notoriety is known to everyone

"Oh my God, don't choose again. If you install too many implants at once, be careful of your hormones and bioelectricity being disrupted. Especially the Krenzikov. This thing is installed in the spine. Like the ones installed in the brain, they are the most special implants."

Leo remembered his awkward reaction when he first met V, and his fingers suddenly froze.

"Then I can install these four things, right?"

As for the prosthetic body needed to go to Arasaka Academy, he will talk about it when he comes back next time.

"These four things... well, based on your potential values, they should be no problem."

"That's it, let's get started. ...Just like last time, wake me up when you're done."

"No problem. Let me take a look. Hmm, you picked all the big brands after all. I'll round off the price and give you 27000 euros."

Lao Wei quickly gave himself an injection, then suddenly remembered something and turned to look at V: "I have to close the safety door when I perform the operation to avoid interference. What are you going to do?"

"Then I'll go out—"

Before she could even say "wait", Leo interrupted her: "Just wait over there, I'll be your turn when I'm done, why are you running around?"

V pursed her lips slightly, still a little uncomfortable with this kind of unconditional trust.

Generally speaking, for something as important as installing a prosthesis, the person who can accompany the patient by the bedside must be a relative or a close friend; ordinary friends are not enough.

Lao Wei's gaze moved between the two of them, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

He said nothing, but closed the security door and said to V: "You can walk around freely, just don't get close to the operating table."

"Oh……"

V strolled to Lao Wei's desk, his eyes occasionally glancing at Leo.

As the anesthetic took effect, Leo's consciousness instantly became blurred.

In a trance, he had another sweet dream... He dreamed that he returned to Night City with a large number of goods, made a fortune, was equipped with the most advanced prosthetics, and crushed V-Zoom with one hand...

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard Lao Wei's voice.

"Le...O..."

"Leo, wake up."

He blinked and his vision cleared.

Lao Wei was looking at him with concern, waving a small flashlight in front of his eyes.

Seeing that his pupils contracted normally, Lao Wei said softly, "It's done. It took one hour and twenty minutes. The operation was a success."

Leo looked at him in surprise.

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with what he said, he just found it strange — why did the speed at which Lao Wei’s lips opened and closed and the movement of his arms swing like they were in slow motion?

Is it that the effect of the anesthetic has not worn off yet?

Nobody: Chapter 61: Explosive Change V Zhentian

"Don't be nervous. This is a normal reaction after having the Krenzikov implanted. This implant, which is continuously active, will enhance your reaction ability, but the side effect is that everything you see is in slow motion, as if you have entered a world where time has slowed down."

Lao Wei explained while operating quickly on the panel.

"Everything looks normal at the moment. Wait a moment...Okay, I've installed Krenzikov's control software for you. Can you see it?"

[Military Technology (M) Krenzikov control software is loading...]

[Configuring system...75%]

【Checking neural grid data.】

[The controller is being installed.]

[Updating version...]

【Self-test completed, implant is functioning well.】

【Thank you for purchasing the genuine military technology products. Choose military technology, choose your safe life! 】

[Krenzikov 2, optional gears 1 to 5, currently gear 3 (default), please read the product manual for details. ]

"See, Lao Wei, this thing seems to have selectable gears."

"Yes, yours is Type 2, the best model I have here, with five optional gears, which can be adjusted freely.

But I have to warn you, unless it is an emergency, don't open the 5th gear easily. This software has a safety limit. Once you open the 5th gear, you have to wait 24 hours to lower it again. That period of time will be very difficult. "

"Okay, I see."

Considering that V still needed to upgrade his prosthetics, he adjusted Krenzikov to Gear 1 first.

The implant released a weak electric current, causing his spine to numb, but fortunately it only lasted for a few seconds, and then the discomfort symptoms quickly subsided.

Leo stretched his stiff body and slowly sat up.

The feeling of watching everything in slow motion was somewhat relieved, but another uncomfortable feeling swept over me.

The biggest feeling all over his body was "numbness" and "numbness". He had never experienced this feeling before, and even his hands and feet were a little uncoordinated when he walked.

V came over and held his arm, giving him support.

The two of them walked slowly around the clinic a few times to help him quickly adapt to his physical condition.

Leo smiled at her gratefully: "I have heard of a saying - it is said that when a person is completely healthy, he cannot feel the various organs in his body at all. Only when he is sick can he keenly perceive the discomfort. I didn't expect this saying to be true..."

"I feel like there is something foreign in my skin, bones, and spine. It's really awkward."

V nodded. "It's just like this after I put on the prosthetic. It will be fine in a few days."

After walking two more laps, Leo felt that he had almost adapted, so he urged V to go for a check-up quickly.

"I only have 7500 euros on me, let's see what happens first."

V's heart bleeds as he looks at his personal account which has finally started to improve.

But I will have to do a big job soon, and I can’t be Grandet now…

Leo objected: "Use my credit limit first. I still have 53,000, which should be enough."

fifty thousand……

When V thought about the huge amount of money, he hesitated.

"It's too much. I can't pay it back in a short time..."

Also, he spent money on himself again, why does it feel so weird...

"Not much. If I work in biotechnology and steal some information, I can make a hundred times the money!"

Leo pushed her towards Lao Wei and used his eyes to remind Lao Wei to "hurry up."

Lao Wei went to wash his hands first, then smiled knowingly as he watched the interaction between the two of them: the combination of a rich family's eldest son and a clean street mercenary is indeed a bit strange, but love itself is strange and unreasonable.

What's more, this is Night City, and no matter how strange the things are, they are commonplace here.

The routine process was repeated.

Lao Wei made the classic move of Commander Ikari - crossing his fingers under his nose and staring at the computer screen.

"Is your data accurate?"

V was about to speak when Leo pushed him aside.

"Let me see it too!"

"Physical potential 16, reaction potential 16... why are they so low?"

His surprise attracted Lao Wei's attention: "Kid, this is not a 20-point test in school. Under normal circumstances, the test limit of the instrument is 16. If you exceed this number, you can be said to be no longer a human. If the potential of these s is real, you can easily pass the terrorist squad."

Leo knew that 20 was the theoretical limit for humans, but this was V Zhentian, and she had been in the industry for five years, so why hadn’t she reached the maximum limit?

"Intelligence potential 5. Not surprising."

"Hey!"

His head swayed, and V punched him lightly.

"Of course I filled this out myself. The unlicensed doctor who tested me thought the biometric monitor was broken, so he came up with an extremely high number. In fact, I think my potential is higher than 16!"

After she said this, Lao Wei looked at her with a strange look in his eyes.

He is taller than 16cm, but his body shape is completely invisible... Is he also a human?

To really have a physical potential of 20, theoretically he should be a super big guy who is a circle bigger than Jack.

But the data given by biological monitoring is indeed ridiculously high.

"To be honest, I'm not too sure. Your biological monitoring system is an old antique, lacking many new functions and monitoring items, so it can't be completely accurate.

How about this, I will upgrade all the existing implants first, and add two new ones at most. Once the data from the new biological monitoring comes out, I will dare to give you a high-load prosthesis."

"Sian Westin..." V asked softly.

"Don't even think about it. Of all the prosthetics, that thing has the highest load and is most likely to turn a person into a cyberpsychopath."

V's dream was shattered, "Okay... Then I want Krenzikov too, and the tendon reinforcement."

Lao Wei looked at her physical data again and thought: "Two combat prostheses should be fine. Your physical indicators look good."

"Then let's get started."

V lay on the operating table and just took two deep breaths when a handsome face appeared in his sight.

"What are you doing……"

Leo strolled to her side and looked at the tablet with her: "I'll help you choose a prosthetic model, so that you don't make the stingy mistake again and affect your combat effectiveness."

"You know how to choose... I am a professional mercenary after all, and my understanding of prosthetics is far better than yours."

V's tough talk backfired a few minutes later.

Of course Leo would choose the one produced by a big company, the latest model, and the most expensive one. If it meets these three criteria, it is definitely the best of its kind.

Reality is so cold, “pay to win” is the truth of Night City!

"I think the grips and subcutaneous armor could still be used..."

"I don't want you to feel it, I want me to feel it!"

Leo has forcefully selected a list of prosthetics for V, which basically means - to replace all implants with the best ones that V has.

"The list is out. It includes the Internet Monitoring Public Version Brain-Computer Interface, Ballistic Coprocessor Type 3, Subcutaneous Armor Type 3, Qilusi Artificial Eye 'Hunter' Type 2, Bio-Monitoring Type 2, Krenzikov Type 2, Strengthened Tendon Type 2, Reaction Tuner Type 2, and Elastic Joint Type 2."

The total cost was 55,000 euros. In addition to giving the old prosthetic body to V at a discount, V also paid 2,000 euros himself.

There was no other way, so she suddenly decided to install a reaction tuner, saying that it was a matching prosthesis for Krenzikov and it would be best to install them together.

Leo suspected that she had planned this, but when he thought about V Zhentian, he felt that this little bit of prosthetics was nothing to her...

Going out to visit relatives, the next chapter may be at night_(:з」∠)_

Nobody: Chapter 62: Coin tossing game, guess wrong and you'll get hit...

Turns out, he was right.

V Zhentian and ordinary humans may really be two different species.

After nearly two hours of surgery, she opened her eyes and stood up on her own.

Her first few steps were a little shaky, but before Leo reached her, there was nothing unusual about the way she walked.

"Shall I help you walk around twice?"

Leo tried to reciprocate and help her up.

But V refused: "No, I feel fine."

As she spoke, she started walking alone in the clinic, her pace getting faster and faster, almost like a jog.

Leo looked at her blankly, and then he heard Lao Wei say, "It can be seen that her physical fitness is indeed strong enough. She has not been affected by these prosthetics at all."

After completing two major operations in one morning, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Lao Wei's forehead.

"I'm really old. I'm already out of breath after doing just this little bit of work."

He shook his head, went to the sink to wash his face and hands, then picked up a dry towel to wipe away the water stains.
