"Please wait a moment. I will prepare the medicine for you. It will be ready soon."

Twenty minutes later, they each received three bottles of medicine.

"Same as always, the red cap is a soft stimulant, the blue cap is a painkiller and anti-inflammatory. This pneumatic syringe contains an immunosuppressant, if you show any symptoms of suspected cyberpsychosis, use it immediately and come to me as soon as possible."

"Thanks, Lao Wei."

Leo was really touched. They only spent 2,000 euros on this visit, but took away a prosthetic body worth 80,000 yuan. There might not be another prosthetic doctor in the whole Night City who was so easy to talk to.

"It's a small matter. Come and take care of the business more often in the future."

Lao Wei sat back in his chair and started playing a boxing match.

Leo waved to V who was still moving his body, then turned to him and said, "I'll treat you to a meal next time. I think what I need most right now is a bed."

"Well, remember, don't eat spicy food, don't drink alcohol, and don't take a shower today. Try to get more rest. With the physical fitness of the two of you, you will be much better tomorrow."

The two men took note of the doctor's instructions and left the underground clinic together.

While waiting for the bus, V went to talk to Misty.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and they really got along well.

Not long after, the special car called by Leo, Delaman, arrived, and V reluctantly said goodbye to Misty.

As usual, they sat together in the back row. V turned his head and looked at him:

"I originally thought you were bragging when you said you were good at judging people, but I didn't expect it to be true. It's really a skill to be able to find good people like Old Vi and Misty in Night City."

"That's right. Don't forget, I also found you, Jack, and Sasha. This is a skill that not everyone can learn."

As Leo was talking, he suddenly saw the ant nest and couldn't help but think of something.

"Come to think of it, didn't you stay in Watson District for a long time? How come you don't know Lao Wei? His clinic is just a few steps away from your apartment."

V opened his right hand and admired the brand new X-ray. The metallic light reflected from it was so dazzling. "Lao Wei is a licensed regular doctor."

"Isn't it good to have a certificate?" Leo was puzzled.

"Alas, rich people just don't know the suffering of the world. A certified prosthetic doctor is good, but... he's expensive!" V sighed, "If you go to those unlicensed barefoot doctors, you can buy the same prosthetic at only 50% off the price."

"Really? Are the medical skills and products of that kind of doctor reliable?"

"Of course it's unreliable. There may be 'slight' signs of use, there may be a small backdoor, or you may have bought a small factory product with the 'civilian technology' or 'Huangfan' brand.

You usually have to be accompanied by a friend when you go to that kind of clinic. If you die on the operating table, there will always be someone to help collect your body, and by the way, check the cause of your death and decide whether to kill the idiot doctor. "

V leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and chatted with him about the life experiences of a low-level mercenary.

Leo listened quietly, feeling like he was listening to a legendary story.

The not-so-glamorous side of Night City slowly revealed itself to him as V spoke.

After returning to the apartment, the two of them had a quick bite and then lay back on bed.

Just after the implant was installed, I began to feel weak and tired from the inside out.

Leo spent the whole next day in a half-asleep state.

*

Time flies and it is August 2nd.

At noon, the two had a sumptuous lunch.

Leo finally revived with full health.

"Uh-huh-"

He stretched out his body and exhaled all the bad air that had been accumulated in his body, and immediately felt refreshed.

"I'm almost recovered, how about you?"

"Of course I feel great!"

V excitedly punched the air.

"I used to think that I was a capable fighter among street mercenaries, but I couldn't compare with the elite mercenaries in the next life. Now that I've changed my new body, I dare say that even in the next life bar, my strength is above average."

"Then I'll be counting on you when we go on the mission."

"Hmph, just wait and see, this money will definitely not be wasted!"

After resting for a while, V took the initiative to propose sparring.

"We all have Krenzikov installed, so why not try a training method I've heard of before."

"what way?"

"Bullet dodging training!"

"what!?"

Leo was shocked, and before he could object, he saw V running into the elevator excitedly.

After disappearing for about a quarter of an hour, V returned with an ammunition box.

"I went to a nearby weapons store and bought some rubber bullets. Wait a moment."

She hurried into her room and came back with a familiar-looking pistol—the one that the arms dealer Wilson jokingly called a "second-hand miscellaneous pistol."

Leo was speechless: "Why do you still keep this gun?"

"What do you think the weapons storage room is for? Keep a few more guns. They will come in handy. Just like right now, if I really loaded Kenshin with rubber bullets, I can still beat you up."

After replacing the rubber bullets in the old gun, V spread out his right hand and showed him a coin.

"This is an old American commemorative coin. It has a portrait on the front and a building on the back. Let's play the coin toss game. The winner can give the loser a shuttle."

Her tone was extremely calm, but Leo was trembling.

“Is it necessary to make such a big deal?”

"Krenzikov can enhance nerve reflexes. To put it bluntly, it is used to dodge bullets. If you don't practice this way, do you want to practice in a real battle?"

Leo was speechless.

What she said seems to make sense...

"Then I bet on heads!"

Ding--

The coin was launched into the air and spun back down to the ground.

V didn't reach out to catch it, letting the coin fall to the ground and bounce several times.

The final result is - the opposite.

"You lost, what a shame..."

She said she regretted it, but the corners of her mouth were curled up wildly.

The black muzzle of the gun was pointing straight at me.

Leo confirmed once again - V is probably a bit violent...

Nobody: Chapter 63 V Zhentian, Die! Die! !

"Back off, back off, don't stand in front of the window, be careful not to break the glass."

V kept shaking the muzzle of the gun, looking eager to try.

Leo was "coerced" and could only walk around the room, looking for a suitable "burial place."

Finally, he stood in front of the elevator and found something to block the elevator's control panel.

There is no need to worry about damaging the furniture when standing here, and the distance from V is maximized - she stands by the floor-to-ceiling window of the bar, and the distance between them is about twenty meters.

"It's too far. The fighting distance in indoor conflicts is usually no more than ten meters. Since you are a novice, I won't force you.

You should first adjust the Krenzikov to level 3 and get used to it for a minute or two. The first round should be simple. I will point out the shooting direction and then shoot. "

Leo took a deep breath and switched the Krenzikov to gear 3.

In fact, the control of this kind of prosthesis is not that troublesome. Once the prosthesis adapts to his thinking, it can be controlled freely with just a thought.

But it has only been installed for one day, so to be on the safe side, he still prefers manual mode.

The implant released a weak electric current in his spine, causing his whole body to shiver involuntarily.

Then, time slowed down and the feeling of watching everything in slow motion reappeared.

He stretched his body and waved his hands in front of him.

Under the influence of the light, his palms left behind a trail of afterimages, which had a kind of gorgeous special effects of a "martial arts master".

After adapting for a while, he gave a thumbs up to V in the distance, indicating that he was ready.

V didn't waste any words and aimed his gun directly -

"Right foot."

boom!

Before he could finish his words, the sound of gunfire reached his ears.

Slightly slower than the sound, the rubber bullet suddenly burst out from the black muzzle of the gun.

Leo's eyes widened and he focused all his attention on the bullet.

At this moment, time seemed to be infinitely stretched, and everything around became blurry and slow.

Only the trajectory of the bullet was extremely clear in front of his eyes.

He saw it!

The high-speed spinning bullet cut through the air, drawing a straight black line between the muzzle of the gun and his right foot.

In this incredible "bullet time", Leo's brain worked at an extraordinary speed, and he made the decision to lift his foot without thinking.

The next second, he raised his right foot slightly by a few centimeters, allowing the bullet to glide past the sole of his shoe.

It worked!

But it wasn't entirely successful...

Leo looked down at his feet. He almost failed to dodge it just now. The reason was that his body speed could not keep up with his thinking reaction speed.

V's voice came from afar: "Krenzikov is different from Swanstein. It can only enhance your reaction speed, not your movement speed. You must spend a lot of time to adapt to this awkward feeling of having a fast mind and a slow body."

"Don't be dazed, it's the left shoulder this time."

boom!

……

The gunshots continued, and Leo kept dodging like an acrobat.

I was so focused that I reached the last shot without realizing it.

"Chest."

boom!

He suddenly turned sideways, twisting his body at an exaggerated angle, and narrowly avoided the rubber bullet.

The bullet whizzed past his chest, making a sharp sound of breaking wind, and finally hit the security door behind him, leaving a shallow bullet mark.

so close,

But I still dodged it.

His record was ten hits out of twenty shots. He successfully dodged ten bullets, with a 50% dodge success rate!

Leo was panting heavily, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead, but his heart was beating like a drum, bringing him such joy that he wanted to run away.

He actually saw the trajectory of the bullet and managed to dodge it.

With this ability, his sense of security increased significantly.

For a person who is afraid of death, nothing can be more joyful than obtaining a means to save his life!

As he leaned on his knees and gasped for breath, V quietly came up to him and tapped his shoulder with the butt of his gun.

"For a first training session, you did pretty well. But don't get too cocky. If you really get into a fight, try to find cover first.
