Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Chapter 52 Chronic Pain

Watson District, Little Chinatown.

‘Misty’s Secret’ is on the third floor balcony of the divination room.

A black luxury floating car, with four blue flame pillars sprayed from the bottom, slowly descended and stopped.

The black wing door wings slowly open upward, and the neon lights reflect the metallic flowing texture.

Jack jumped out of the car first, stretched his shoulders, and then turned back to greet Mann in the car.

"Friends, we are here, come down quickly."

Mann first glanced at Tang Yu and found that he was sitting on a leather chair. He made a very gentlemanly invitation gesture.

He nodded slightly in response, then got out of the car with the safe, and then stood outside the door with Jack waiting for Tang Yu.

The three of them had had some communication in the car before, and they were relatively familiar with each other. Jack and Mann had similar tastes.

A Haywood, a Watson.

They come from completely different backgrounds, but they can fully appreciate each other's cheerful and informal nature.

After the three got off the car, they walked downstairs together.

Jack walked at the front and said as he went down the stairs: "I haven't even warmed up my body since I went out today. Everything will be settled."

"This shows that the lucky card Misty gave me is really useful!"

After arriving at the psychic divination room, Jack quickly walked to the counter.

Misty was standing in front of the counter, playing with the tarot cards in her hands seriously, seeming to be concentrating on studying something.

Jack was very excited and stepped forward to say hello to Misty.

"Misty, as a professional diviner, you are really great!"

"I think your lucky card will be very effective today!"

"Things were resolved easily!"

Misty saw that it was Jack coming back, and then turned around to see Tang Yu and a strange strong man, who seemed to be injured, but his tone was still gentle.

"It seems that you are going well. Victor is still downstairs. You must go find him."

Jack took over the conversation smoothly: "Yes, Tang and Mann have something to do with Lao Wei, so I don't have to go to Lao Wei. The main thing is to come to you to continue to learn about this lucky card."

Then he waved to Tang Yu and said, "Brother, I want to ask Misty some questions. You go to old Weiha first."

Tang Yu naturally understood Jack's true intention, so he didn't say much and took Mann to the backyard and went down the stairwell to find Lao Wei.

"That was Misty just now. She is Jack's fiancée. I have known her since we were children."

Mann couldn't help but admire: "I think Jack and Misty are a perfect match. Are they already engaged?"

Tang Yu replied with certainty: "We are not engaged yet, but I have already made an appointment for them. Remember to come to the wedding when the time comes. Jack likes you very much."

Mann paused, then nodded silently, and followed Tang Yu into Lao Wei's prosthetic clinic.

Tang Yu opened the iron gate fence and saw Lao Wei as usual, wearing blue short-sleeved work clothes, sitting in front of the workbench, playing with the exoskeleton arm prosthesis, and the boxing match was played on the electronic screen.

"Lao Wei, we are back."

Lao Wei raised his head and glanced up, then continued to concentrate on adjusting his exoskeleton arm auxiliary prosthesis, as if he had already guessed the coming life.

"Well, it seems like today went well, and I even brought a friend with me."

Tang Yu stepped forward and introduced to Lao Wei: "Mann, a Watson mercenary, needs to undergo an implant operation to install the Sian Westan."

Mann took a step forward, placed the safe on the workbench, entered the password to open it, and found the military-grade Sianwestein lying inside, intact.

After finishing adjusting the exoskeleton arm auxiliary prosthetic, Lao Wei picked up the military-grade Sian Westan and started scanning it.

"This thing has never been seen on the market. It is an experimental product of military technology. Have you run data on human body before?"

Before they could answer, Lao Wei suddenly thought of something and guessed: "This prosthetic body belongs to the cybermaniac who was shot dead in the company square a few days ago, right?"

Lao Wei has been a prosthetic doctor for many years and knows almost everything about the prosthetics on the market. He naturally knows the relevant news about Cybermaniac James.

Suddenly, there is such a military-grade prosthetic body. Its origin is unknown, its model is advanced, and its power is powerful.

Lao Wei was keenly aware that there was a problem here.

Tang Yu didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "That's right, Lao Wei, so there's something else I need to trouble you with. Help me take out the human body operating data of this prosthetic body and bring it back to the company for submission."

Lao Wei carefully observed the detailed structure of the military-grade prosthetic body: "It is easy to retrieve the operating data. The problem is that this prosthetic body also hides military technology countermeasures. If you want to completely avoid human eyesight after installation, you must control the operating program and electronics." Some modifications and adjustments have been made to the components.”

Hearing this, Mann looked a little nervous and asked quickly: "How long will it take?"

Lao Wei put down the military-grade prosthetic body in his hand and looked at the anxious Mann: "The data can be taken out now and implanted in a week."

"But before that, it's best to do a full-body suitability check on you. If your body can't bear it, the installation surgery will be very risky."

Mann was a little embarrassed.

He knew his physical condition better than anyone else, and it was indeed a bit reluctant to install this prosthetic body.

But without a suitability check now, it might be difficult to convince Tang Yu and Lao Wei to help him with the implant surgery.

Victor stood up from the sliding stool and led Mann to the operating chair: "Sit on the chair first, don't be nervous, and connect the neural data cable."

Mann lay on the operating chair, picked up the handed data plug, and inserted it into his biological neural data interface.

Lao Wei hung a stethoscope around his neck and sat next to the control console to start the inspection: "While I scan, you can see what's going on inside."

Tang Yu stood nearby, watching Mann's test results.

Soon, the screen began to scan and read information about Mann's entire body and implants.

During the examination, Lao Wei asked in a serious tone: "Do you often have splitting headaches, thirst, nausea, and vomiting, and your hands can't stop shaking?"

"Does the prosthetic body occasionally become inoperable, stuck or inflexible?"

Mann responded solemnly, which was regarded as admission.

He knew that almost all of what Lao Wei said were hits, so he hesitated for a while and added: "I have regular injections of inhibitors. These symptoms are not serious and rarely occur."

Tang Yu had installed many implants on his body, so when he saw the test results on the screen, the reality was far more serious than Mann said.

Mann's main trouble is that there are too many prosthetics in his body, and the models are not uniform, and the old versions are not uniform.

Even the running software is using a cracked version, which has many loopholes and poor compatibility. It is completely incomparable to when Tang Yu was covered in 'magic costumes'.

It can be said.

A hacker with a little skill can burn Mann's brain like a brain roaster.

Moreover, if the prosthetic body is not replaced for a long time, the metal impurities will seriously corrode the body, which will cause him to have the symptoms that Lao Wei just mentioned.

Although these symptoms are not fatal, they are as tormenting as a chronic disease, leaving him in pain all the time, as uncomfortable as being pierced by countless fine needles.

in short.

Mann's body is always in overload and has already been tortured to the point of exhaustion.

Mann never mentioned these things to anyone, and relied on amazing perseverance to grit his teeth and resist them.

Lao Wei also saw that Mann was a man, and it was helpless and forced to change his body like this, so he said while operating the screen.

"I will first upgrade your internal system and apply patches so that the prosthetic body can be controlled more smoothly."

"At the very least, your chronic pain will be relieved a lot."
