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

Leo was still laughing awkwardly, so she casually pointed towards the store.

"All the old clothes are in the southeast corner. You can see them when you walk over. There's a fitting room next to it. Don't worry, there's no surveillance. But if you're willing to let me see them... I'll give you a 50% discount, okay?"

"..."

"Hahahaha!"

Amid her cheerful laughter, Leo, who was being teased, fled in panic.

Nobody: Chapter 10 Worth 1 million euros! (referring to dismantling it into parts and selling it separately)

In a corner of the second-hand store, old clothes are piled up like mountains.

There were no hangers or hooks, all the clothes were just piled up in a mess.

The storage basket is so big that people can lie down directly in it, and there are clothes of all styles.

Leo first eliminated those clothes that were damaged or had suspicious marks on them. He picked and chose and put together a decent set of casual clothes in five minutes.

He didn't want to evaluate this second-hand outfit in detail. Anyway, once he settled down, he would definitely buy a few presentable new clothes.

Back at the counter, the enthusiastic black female owner looked him up and down.

"Humm, now it looks much better, and this dress won't ruin your face.

The price tag is right there on the clothes, you see it?"

"Yes, this set costs 153 euros."

It’s very cheap, Leo himself thinks so.

Of course, being cheap also has its disadvantages. This set of clothes is just gray clothes without any attribute in the game. Not only does it have almost no defense, but the producer may even ridicule you in the equipment review column...

"Okay, I'll give you a discount, 100 Euros."

The female owner nodded casually and gave a 35% discount without even looking at the price tag.

"Uh...thank you."

Leo took out the money obediently.

When I was paying, the female shop owner groped my hands twice.

"You have such nice skin~" the female shop owner showed a crazy expression, "To be honest, I don't know whether to say 'welcome to come again' to you, or hope that you won't come again. I am a face-loving person, and I don't think these clothes are suitable for you."

She leaned towards Leo, and the rich scent of perfume hit her face.

"Little handsome boy, if you really can't make it, why not try Genting.

With your face, if you stand at the front desk, they will invite you to be the top star~ If that day comes, I will go to support you even if I have to spend all my money~"

"..."

"Hahahaha!"

Amid her cheerful laughter, Leo, who had been teased, fled once again.

Alas, why does this kind of thing have to happen again?

With passers-by chasing him, Leo fled back to Misty's shop.

After taking two more puffs of the free aromatherapy, he felt a little more relaxed.

There were still no customers in the store, and Misty was lying on the counter leisurely. Seeing him come back, she looked up and took a few glances: "This suit suits you very well, but the problem is also more serious."

Leo looked at her in confusion.

"You look more like a rich man or a corporate person in this outfit. In Watson District, you'd better not go to the side alleys and try not to go alone."

"Is it that serious?"

"In the eyes of the scavengers and gangs, you are just a walking pile of big money. I suggest you hire a trustworthy bodyguard or just move to another area."

"I'm afraid not for now, but thank you for your advice. I will be more vigilant."

The two chatted for a while, mainly Misty telling him the "Watson District Survival Guide", and then her eyes lit up and reminded him that Lao Wei was ready.

Leo went to the underground clinic again, taking deep breaths with every step to relieve the pressure in his heart.

At first, he was full of enthusiasm and demanded the installation of a large number of prosthetics, but now that he has calmed down, various images appear in his mind - such as the surgical process of digging out the eyeball, cutting off the blood vessels behind it, and replacing it with a mechanical eye.

They also need to install a brain-computer interface in their heads and a data cable on their wrists...

As an "ancient man" in 2024, it is really difficult for him to imagine how to install prosthetics for him with the technology of the 2077 era.

But if he thought about it for a moment, he knew it must be a very bloody scene. Just imagining it made him start to have phantom pains...

Walk into the clinic.

Lao Wei was sitting in front of the computer, reading his examination report.

"What's the result?" Leo was a little curious.

"Not sure yet, let's finish the other tests first."

Leo tried his best not to think about the scene of changing the prosthesis and cooperated with Lao Wei in the examination.

After another ten minutes or so, all the inspection results came out.

Lao Wei tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically and turned to look at him: "I have good news for you. Your physical condition couldn't be better. I can't imagine what kind of favorable environment a person must live in to be as healthy as you."

"There are no unqualified items, and all physical indicators are excellent. Based on this physical examination result alone, your physical potential should be at least around 10."

After his explanation, Leo also understood the meaning of physical potential - which is the basic attribute in the game.

Physical potential includes "flesh" and "reaction", plus "intelligence". These three attributes are the key for cyborg doctors to judge the potential of the human body and decide whether prostheses can be installed.

The higher the potential, the more prosthetics that can be implanted and the more advanced they are.

Characters like Adam Hammer and the complete form of V-Zoom are both perverts with extremely high physical potential and are infinitely close to mechanical ascension.

"There will be no problem installing the prosthetics we have today, but you have to be careful..."

Lao Wei pointed to the medical examination report seriously.

"It's no exaggeration to say that if you were 'torn apart' you could be sold for at least a million. You're lucky to have found me. If you had gone to another less formal clinic, you would have probably lost your life."

"I... am so valuable?" Leo didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Lao Wei nodded. "Eighteen years old, healthy enough that you haven't even had many vaccinations. Perfect organs. Those who have money and power but not health won't even blink when they spend money on your organs."

Leo swallowed hard.

He originally thought that Night City was better than Gotham, and as long as he didn't commit suicide, he wouldn't be easily involved in danger. But now it seems that he himself is the source of danger - because he is too valuable.

One million euros!!!

V went through so much trouble to save the president and only got 12,000 euros. Even if it was a game, if you add a zero in reality, it would only be 120,000 euros.

He slammed this million-dollar sum in V's face and might even forcefully marry the legendary mercenary on the spot.

The premise is that she doesn't knock you out with one punch and rob you of your money...

Lao Wei didn't rush him, knowing that he needed some time to calm down.

After a while of excitement, Leo came back to his senses: "That's why I came to find you. I heard that you are the kindest and most skilled cyborg doctor in Night City."

"Oh, don't try that on me. You're complimenting me now." Although he said that, Lao Wei was actually laughing. "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of scum who is greedy for money. The money I have saved is enough for my retirement."

"If you are mentally prepared, let's get started. The whole operation will take about two hours. I will first give you general anesthesia, install the brain-computer interface, personal terminal and biological monitoring, and then wake you up. You need to be awake to cooperate in debugging the artificial eye. Do you have any questions?"

"Can you wait until you have replaced the artificial eye before waking me up? I really don't want to experience the feeling of having my eyeball removed while I am awake. It will give me nightmares."

"Haha, okay... small problem, I'll wake you up after I replace your artificial eye. What else?"

"Gone……"

"Then sit on the operating table over there. We only have one last step left before we can begin."

Nobody: Chapter 11 Flesh and blood are weak, and machinery ascends!

Leo took a deep breath and lay on the cold operating table.

He felt like a piece of meat on the chopping board. If it weren't for Old Wei next to him who made him feel a little safe, he would have jumped up and ran for his life.

Before the operation began, the first thing Lao Wei did was to pick up the syringe on the table and give himself an injection in his arm.

Leo noticed that his left arm, which did not have tattoos, had many needle marks and some bruises under the skin.

Lao Wei seemed to notice his gaze and explained casually: "I don't have anything in my hand. I'm old, so I need an injection before doing delicate surgery to prevent my hand from shaking."

After saying that, he turned on the control panel connected to the operating table.

"I'll scan your physical condition, and you can pick the type of prosthesis you want. Even for the same type of prosthesis, the prices of different manufacturers vary greatly. Choose according to your financial ability."

An Apple tablet was placed in front of Leo. On the screen was a translucent human body model with many red prompt lines connected to the body, indicating the prostheses that could be installed in the corresponding parts.

He slid his finger across the screen and looked at it nervously and excitedly.

Lao Wei reminded him, "Don't be greedy. Today, you will only use the prosthetic eye, operating system, and biological monitoring. The rest can be done after your physical data comes out."

"I know……"

Leo reluctantly closed the epidermal system branch. After the failed bank robbery in Gotham City, he was eager to install subcutaneous armor to provide himself with additional life protection.

But now is obviously not the time, he has to listen to the doctor.

Get back on track.

The first is the most important core prosthesis - the operating system.

Learning, processing data, and adjusting the parameters and settings of other prostheses all require the participation of this core operating system.

As a programmer, Leo plans to stick to his old profession and continue to be a scientific researcher or a cyber hacker.

When he opened this branch, the options were not only the few in the game, but also many "miscellaneous brands" that he did not recognize.

The most basic Type 1 network access warehouse can be sold for tens of thousands for first-line brands, while the cheapest unknown brand can be bought for 2.

"Old Wei, why do you only have a Type 1 access bay? Don't you have a more advanced one?"

"Can you think about where this place is before you ask the question?" Lao Wei asked without even raising his head.

"Watson District...?"

"uh-huh."

Leo realized that this was the poorest area in Night City. Lao Wei's clinic was opened here, so his patients were undoubtedly the poorest.

To put it simply, even if good things are imported, they will be stored in the warehouse and no one can afford them.

Seeing that he understood, Lao Wei said, “Don’t worry too much. The network access warehouse can be upgraded by purchasing accessories, provided that the brand is not changed too often.

As for you... since you are studying abroad at Arasaka Academy, it would be better for you to use the Arasaka Type 1."

Arasaka Academy...!?

Lao Wei's words struck his mind like a bolt of lightning, and Leo instantly remembered what he had forgotten - it was 2076! 2076, the year when the plot of Cyberpunk: Edgewalker will be staged! !

David Martinez!

Lucy!

Wife cake! ...No, Rebecca is not a cake yet, the cyborg loli can still be saved!

And David's poor mom...

Leo sat up suddenly: "I remember now——!"

Lao Wei was so frightened by his sudden shout that his hands started shaking.

"...If you don't want my hands to shake, don't startle me like that. I'm old and can't stand the stress."

"Ahem, my bad, my bad. I suddenly remembered something important and got a little too excited." Leo coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment. "For the operating system, I choose Arasaka Type 1. I do want to go to Arasaka Academy."

"Well, no problem. I finally sold the high-end goods I bought a long time ago. I thought they would be a big loss..."

Listening to Lao Wei's teasing, Leo looked at the remaining two prosthetics again.

"The artificial eye needs to be the Qilusi Type 3, and the biological monitoring needs to be the Biotech Type 2."

"You choose all the most expensive brands, and you don't even bargain... Haha, I told you you're rich."

Lao Wei quickly took out some good stuff from the bottom of the box.
