Chapter 186 Victor
After meeting in the underground garage, Lu Ming and Jack Wells bumped shoulders.
"Aren't you going to drive your heavy locomotive today?"
"In Night City, there are speed-detecting electronic eyes everywhere. If you speed and get caught by the company dogs, the loss outweighs the gain."
Jack Wells said: "Then what, did you bring the money?"
Lu Ming raised the chip containing the money.
In Night City, there are banks everywhere.
Whether it is transferring cash into the money chip or withdrawing money from the chip, as long as the corresponding handling fee is paid, they are happy to help.
Jack Wells was still driving, and Lu Ming sat in the passenger seat.
If it is a landmark in Night City, you can search for it and automatically locate it, but Jack Wells knows that all the capable people and strangers are in the most secret places.
As for the prosthetic doctor, he will meet Victor and Misty.
Victor is a doctor who is skilled at replacing various prosthetic modules, and Misty is Victor's landlord and also the girlfriend of Tiehanhan Jack Wells.
In the game plot, after Jack died, Misty was very depressed...
"V, what are you looking at?" Jack Wells said.
"It's nothing." Lu Ming regained his composure and said seriously, "The upgrade you're talking about is prosthetic surgery, right?"
"V, as expected of you." Jack Wells didn't keep his secrets anymore.
"I know the worst prosthetic doctor in Night City. Whether it's adding and improving the prosthesis, replacing parts, or neurological diseases caused by damage to the prosthesis, he can fix it."
Lu Ming smiled and said nothing. This Tiehanhan really had nothing to say to his friends. In his words, everyone was the best in every field.
"By the way, you took the initiative to call me just now, what's the matter?" Jack Wells asked after recovering.
"Well, Jack, I want to live in another place." Lu Ming said.
"Why? Is it uncomfortable to live in? That stupid landlord is urging you, idiot! I said hello to him and said that he is my brother, and he doesn't want money. When I turn around, I will slap the money on his face!"
Jack Wells said indignantly.
"Don't be so irritable, it's nothing like that." Lu Ming said dumbfounded, "I wanted to change places myself, so I wanted to ask you if there was a way."
"If you open your mouth, you have to. Even if you want to live on the head of the waste board company, I will find a way for you," Jack Wells said with a smile.
"Normal chat, the house I want is a primitive one without any smart home, just keep the water and electricity." Lu Ming said his needs.
"What?" Jack Wells suspected that he had heard it wrong, "No way, V, I thought you wanted a better section of road, why do you want this kind of place."
Lu Ming didn't speak.
Jack Wells understood in seconds: "Ahem! Secret! I understand! Don't worry, I will find it out for you later."
…………
The two drove while chatting, and soon arrived at the place.
Like Lizi Bar, Victor's facade is still in various alleys with nine bends and eighteen bends.
If it weren't for acquaintances, it might not be possible to find them.
After parking the car, Jack Wells couldn't wait to rush to the front desk, "Oh, Misty, you are more beautiful than yesterday."
"Shut up your nonsense, Jack, you didn't come at all yesterday." Misty looked up and saw Lu Ming walking in from the door.
"Let me introduce you." Jack Wells pulled Lu Ming aside and said, "This is my good brother V who died, and he can also be called Lu Ming."
The Chinese name is really a mouthful for a foreigner like Jack Wells, so Jack Wells is called v when chatting with Lu Ming.
But when meeting new people.
In particular, Jack Wills acted as the intermediary to introduce the two parties to each other. Even if he was struggling to speak, Jack Wills would still insist on pronouncing Lu Ming's Chinese name.
"You have many good brothers who died, but almost none of them can be brought here." Misty looked at Lu Ming and said, "Welcome, V".
"Hello, Misty," Lu Ming also responded.
"V, Misty and I are here to talk about something, you go in by yourself, the first room on the left is." Jack Wells hinted frantically, winking.
Lu Ming didn't pierce it, and walked straight inside.
In the first room on the left, even the door is open. From the outside, one can see Victor in front of the workbench at a glance.
Victor sat on the chair, staring at the boxing match being shown on the screen, and said without looking back: "Guests, please come in."
Lu Ming walked in.
"There are still 3 minutes left, wait a moment." Victor said.
"Yes." Lu Ming stood behind him and watched the last 3 minutes of the boxing match together.
After the boxing match was over, Victor looked at Lu Ming, "You are V, right? Jack told me you would come."
"He's at the front desk." Lu Ming said.
Victor just smiled and stretched out his hand: "I'm Victor Victor, since Jack brought you here, let's get straight to the point."
"Prosthesis upgrading, neurological disease treatment, which aspect do you need?"
Victor is undoubtedly a top-notch prosthetic doctor. Although his place is not as grand as the company's, his prosthetic clinic is down-to-earth.
It will not be bombarded like the company, and all kinds of tricks will make people buy prosthetic body parts in installments, and there will be no extra costs.
If the person is on the right track, Victor will give him a glass of wine or anesthetize him before the operation.
"You haven't undergone prosthetic transformation?" Victor asked in surprise.
When he got closer, he realized that there were no metal wires left over from prosthetic surgery on Lu Ming's body. As an insider, Victor could naturally see the fourth-generation prosthetic technology. He was convinced that Lu Ming was completely natural.
"What's the matter?" Lu Ming said calmly. He started as a homeless man. Except for the brain interface on the back of his head, which is necessary for the manpower of the 2077 world, he has not undergone any transformation.
"It's nothing, just curious." Victor said, "Jack Wells was a legend in Heywood before, and he was very good in the Valentino gang, even if he was a mercenary for a while. "
"But even if it's Heywood, the Valentino Gang, or mercenaries, Jack rarely brings me here among these friends."
"He was able to bring you here, which is enough to prove that you are really strong, but what I didn't expect is that you haven't had a prosthetic body transformation."
In 2077, the prosthetic body surgery has been pushed to the fourth generation. From the top management of the Arabata company, down to a wild dog on the side of the road, there are traces of prosthetic body transformation.
For ordinary people, prosthetics can make disabled people stand up.
For those insane, prosthetic bodies can become powerful murderous weapons.
For senior executives, prosthetics are even necessary to extend their lifespan.
It can be said that prosthetic transformation is one of the symbols of the entire Night City.
It is also strange that the person who can be identified by Jack Wells has not undergone any prosthetic transformation.
Lu Ming said: "Before I came to Night City, I was a vagabond. A vagabond begged for a living on the ruins and garbage dumps in the bad land. If you ask me where is the garbage and where is the oil depot, I might be able to answer it, but the prosthetic body really can't do anything. .”
2077 Three occupations!
Corporate, street kid, homeless guy!
It is undoubtedly the homeless who have the hardest access to prosthetic bodies or various cutting-edge technologies, but they are relatively free.
"Wanderers pursuing freedom are not bad either." Victor smiled and said, "Okay, that's the end of the chat. Since you have never experienced prosthetic surgery, what do you want to do this time? Get optical prosthetic eyes or maybe Add some arms?"
Optical prosthetic eyes can scan detailed data of various items, and high-end products can also be equipped with see-through modules.
As for the arm, it can not only improve the fighting ability, but also hold more powerful firearms. After installing the module, it can also display the bullet loss and kinetic energy dynamics.
It can be said that these two parts are the parts that most people will choose first.
Lu Ming thought for a while, and then said: "Jack, you must have a lot of accounts here, right?"
Victor said while adjusting the equipment: "This is between me and Jack, you don't have to worry about it."
"Let's get down to business, where are we going?"
"Don't be too busy, I don't do anywhere." Lu Ming waved his hand.
Victor stopped arranging the equipment, and then returned to Lu Ming's side, "V, I'm a prosthetic doctor, it's really unwise for you to have fun with me."
From Victor's tone, it sounded that he was a little unhappy.
When he was young, Victor was also one of the legends of Night City. He was an old-fashioned street tough guy, adhering to the honor and morals he brought from the boxing ring, and he was a man of principle.
If Lu Ming hadn't been brought here by Jack Wells, when he said this, Victor would have seen off the guests without hesitation and blacklisted him.
"Victor, listen to me." Lu Ming explained: "I mean, I want to try to pay off Jack's debt to you, and put the rest of the money with you. When he comes to you in the future, You just quietly replace him with the best parts."
Lu Ming had already thought about it before coming here.
For the follow-up plot strategy, he wants to save Jack Wells' life,
But Jack Wells is not a rich man. The prosthetic body modification on his body is the third generation, and some parts are also entry-level, and even a little old.
Because of these, in the following desperate missions, Jack Wells will die,
Then the best way to keep Jack Wells is to stop Jack's superior behavior at a critical moment. This has already been done with commission coercion when entering Night City.
Then the second step is the easiest!Equip Jack with the best and top prosthetic body!
After hearing what Lu Ming said, Victor was silent for a while, then opened the refrigerator door and took out a bottle of red wine and two glasses.
After pouring the wine into the glass and handing it to Lu Ming, Victor smiled and said, "I seem to know why Jack Wells brought you here."
"Is this the romance of the homeless?" Victor raised his glass.
"Stupid romance, I just don't want this guy to burp." Lu Ming raised his glass and touched Victor.
After drinking a glass of wine, the previous misunderstanding disappeared, and Victor also looked at Lu Ming with admiration.
"Before you settle the bill, can I ask why you did this?" Victor put down his glass, this was the first time he asked a guest about privacy.
Lu Ming turned his head to look at the electronic screen on the workbench, which showed a video of a boxing match.
Victor is a nostalgic person. Apart from prosthetic boxing, he thought he would watch some old-fashioned unarmed boxing matches that could not keep up with the times.
"Victor, do you think the boxers in the ring are rivals or friends?"
Victor didn't expect Lu Ming to ask such a philosophical question. He just thought for a while and said, "Maybe there are both, who knows."
"Then you can treat me as that kind of relationship with him."
"Interesting." Victor didn't bother, and calculated directly on the tablet, and then passed the bill to Lu Ming.
