Chapter 17
Out of a need for privacy and protection.

Victor placed his clinic in the basement of a closed alley.

Without an introduction from an acquaintance, even if you walked past, you wouldn't have noticed that there was a street prosthetics clinic here.

Street prosthetics have never been a legal profession under the laws of Liberty City.

Medical centers and hospitals have always hated these street prosthetics.

These street doctors, who have simple instruments and whose cure depends on a certain amount of metaphysics, have taken away a lot of customers with their low prices.

Many people are obviously rich, but out of cost-effectiveness considerations, they choose street prosthetics doctors.

Giant corporations hate these street prosthetics, too.

The low fees charged by these prosthetic doctors meet the needs of those poor people.

Make them work less hard.

They have to have money to maintain their prosthetics, and if they develop cyberpsychosis, they have to buy medicine to treat it.

If there weren't those cheap prosthetics doctors.

Those poor people have no complaints about sixteen hours of work.

Because if they stop, they won't be able to pay their long medical bills.

The Liberty City government also hates street prosthetics.

The reason is these bastards don't pay taxes.

Paying taxes is the obligation of every citizen.

Even a homeless person should pay taxes to the Liberty City for every breath of air he breathes and every ray of sunlight he shines on.

Those police officers sometimes conduct raids on street prosthetics.

Of course, everyone knows that Liberty City police officers are corrupt.

In most cases, you can save money and avoid disaster.

Prosthetic Doctor-Victor is cautious by nature and always feels that being low-key is a good thing after all.

Under normal circumstances, we only treat patients who are recommended by acquaintances.

This approach reduced his risk of being discovered and allowed him to operate stably.

Unlike other prosthetics doctors who are always forced to change places.

The clinic floor is very clean.

The ventilation duct makes a sound due to the blowing of the fan blades, and the slightly fishy air flows into the clinic along the air vents to replace the dull air.

Machines specially used for prosthetic surgery are placed in an orderly manner, with indicator lights flashing to indicate that they are in standby mode.

Various sealed mechanical prostheses are placed on the surrounding walls.

Mechanical palms, mechanical wrists, robotic arms, electronic prosthetic eyes, electronic hearts, implanted chips, etc.

All parts of the human body have corresponding mechanical prosthetic replacements.

There is even a smooth, shiny electronic brain placed on the wall.

According to Victor's introduction, this is an electronic brain left over from the glorious age of mankind. It contains a neural network system that far exceeds that of the human brain.

It was something left behind by his father’s father’s father.

As for how it came about, no one knows.

In Victor's heart, this electronic brain is equivalent to some kind of family heirloom.

Just put here for display, not for sale.

David lay on an operating chair.

Victor, wearing special goggles, is examining him.

Bai Qi sat on a chair nearby, watching all this curiously.

He has seen many gang members with prosthetic implants.

But he had never seen the process of implanting a prosthetic body.

He was in a coma when the electronic prosthetic eye was implanted, so it was naturally impossible to see the process.

"The nerve connection points have been severed. This is a troublesome thing." Victor observed for a while and shook his head, "This operation may take a long time. You two should go and rest first."

"When I wake up, I won't fall asleep again. I'll just watch here. And those people may still be looking for us, so we can't let down our guard."

Qin Zheng rejected Victor's proposal and then looked at Bai Qi.

"Go to sleep first."

"I want to stay here too."

"You need sleep, we may have something to do tomorrow!! You don't want to be kicked out of the car because you are sleepy!!"

Qin Zheng's words left Bai Qi speechless, so he could only stand up and leave the clinic.

Upstairs Misty found him a place to rest.

After dismissing Bai Qi, Qin Zheng pulled a chair over and sat directly aside.

Victor stared intently at the smooth incision.

Set out to repair David's robotic arm.

He put on the sensor gloves and used ultrasound to explore the nerve structure, preparing to connect it.

The ultrasonic data is returned to the multi-angle display on the side, which shows the complex mechanical structure.

Victor operated while looking at the images on the display.

After the inspection is completed, the restoration officially begins.

A neural connection device with a ring-shaped appearance made a soft groan and lowered from the side.

Under Victor's guidance, David put his severed arm into the ring, and Victor also put another severed arm into it.With a clicking sound, many micro-mechanical arms grew out and started operating according to the instructions entered by Victor.

A progress bar appears on the display.

At the same time, there are also words and numbers scrolling together.

Reconnecting the nerve cables of the robotic arm is an extremely mentally draining and repetitive task.

A little carelessness can cause various problems with the robotic arm.

Victor spent three hours.

It was late at night when Qin Zheng and others came.

By the time the last nerve line, which was as thin as a hair, was connected, it was already dawn.

After the nerves are connected and the mechanical skeleton and shell are welded, the treatment is complete.

"No matter how good the repair technology is, its performance will not be restored to its previous performance. I will install a regulator for you. In that case, it can effectively reduce the hand tremor problem caused by the nerve connection."

After the work was completed, Victor took off his goggles and stretched his tired waist.

"A robotic arm costs 35 credits, which I can't afford to exchange for."

David looked helpless.

In order to pursue performance, the mechanical prosthetics on his body are all brand new.

It's not a second-hand item bought through shopping.

In order to get this mechanical prosthetic limb.

He and Qin Zheng go on missions every day.

The money I saved was used to buy prosthetics.

It's not like Qin Zhengquan spending money on women.

In order to become a new generation legend in Liberty City, David has really spent a lot of money.

"Now we have to go to the fat black man to settle the score. He doesn't follow the rules, so there's no need for us to do so."

After confirming that David's robotic arm is connected.

Qin Zheng went to wake up Bai Qi.

Misty got up and started working,

Prepare to get them something to eat.

Naturally, it’s not a delicacy.

All cheap carb bars.

It is the most commonly used quick breakfast among the lower class people in St. Ann District.

The taste is very bland, but it can provide energy for the day.

Misty put the carb bar into the bowl, added water, put it in the heater, and set the time.

The heater hummed and the pilot light flickered.

Misty turned back to other things.

She took out some of the uneaten ant-beef from last night and sliced ​​it.

When the timer beeps, add the thinly sliced ​​ant beef.

Opened another sealed bottle.

The bottle contains a white nutrient solution secreted by the worms.

This nutrient solution is also called insect milk.

The protein content is high and the taste is good.

If he had no choice, Qin Zheng would rarely drink these things.

He had seen the production process of insect milk.

It can only be described as eye-catching.

A group of worms, five or six meters long, with white and fat bodies, are fed milk by intelligent machines in a breeding factory.

The image was extremely impactful.

Once you see it, you will never forget it.

Those worms are the product of genetic modification.

The glorious age of mankind was too crazy.

The population is growing extremely fast.

To ensure food supply.

Those scientists have genetically edited a large number of animals.

Insects with strong vitality are naturally favored by humans.

Modify the cockroach's genetic sequence to make it the raw material for protein blocks.

Mixing the genes of caterpillars and cows allows them to eat all kinds of garbage, thereby transforming them into high-yield, high-quality meat and milk.

Misty simply heated up the carb bar and poured the bug milk into a cup, completing her breakfast.

After heating, the carbohydrate sticks absorbed water and expanded, turning into bread sticks. They were placed on the table. Qin Zheng and others each found a seat to sit.

"Are you going to find the fat black man?"

Misty, who had just sat down, saw Qin Zheng wearing a worn-out bulletproof armor under his coat, and knew what they were going to do today.
