Chapter 444: Closed door

The Afterlife nightclub is so busy.

The key is not that there are many people, but that since Lille came in, no one has come here, which makes Rogge feel a little complicated——

On the one hand, the people who came were all company executives, on the other hand, they were not looking for her.

Military technology and Arasaka came together and left together.

But an old friend also came for a visit.

Contao sent people to sponsor Lille again, so the matter was a bit complicated.

[Little Octopus: Brother, the physical examination analysis report is out. V’s nervous system is indeed regenerating. 】

This was unexpected, and it directly gave Lille no reason to accept Contao's stingy sponsorship.

In most cases, adult nerve cells cannot regenerate. Once nerve cells die, permanent damage occurs.

This is a big part of the reason why V's Westin can't break through the 20% theoretical acceleration limit.

The last experience of cyberpsychosis burned out a large part of the neurons, which will divert a lot of Sianwistan's computing power and enhanced current to other muscle areas to ensure that these necrotic nerves will not cause her to suffer from hemiplegia and inaccurate movements. Questions like that.

Simply put, it is to convert the tolerance of nerve cells to current and other stimuli into functional compensation, so that the time-like effect cannot be further improved.

But during the battle with the full-body cyborg in the slaughterhouse, the little octopus discovered that V's limit seemed to have loosened, and Lille immediately asked Lao Wei to check V.

An investigation revealed this situation.

Kang Tao's proposal is also simple: help me experiment with the new version of the reality distortion chip and new technologies.

Even in the cyberpunk world, nerve damage is a very cutting-edge medical problem——

But it's not an incurable disease.

There is a way to permanently repair damaged nerves using nanorobots and nanomaterials, which is equivalent to replacing prosthetics at the cellular level.

But it's usually expensive and generally a long-term restoration project.

Best of all, this is a technology unique to a handful of Japanese medical giants.

Arasaka is one of them.

"Why, you also have this kind of technology?"

"This is a prototype chip, it's immature, but you guys are perverts who insert everything into your body anyway, so I guess you're hoping for it."

After speaking, he looked at the mechanical arm on Lille's body. It was obvious that this kind of weird prosthetic body that obviously changed the appearance of the body and had a cheap mechanical appearance was not a glorious thing in the upper class society.

It’s equivalent to weird earrings, tattoos and the like in the Marvel world.

But the difference is that for the working people in the cyberpunk world, prosthetics are just tools for their work. The main reason for their strange shapes is that they are low-level products made on the black market or made by oneself.

In order to meet needs, sometimes something has to be lost.

Kangtao's chip is quite unique. The color of the appearance scan is slightly different from that of ordinary chips. If you observe it with a nanoscale scanner, you can see that there are some electrically controllable nanomaterials attached to it.

"This thing is like a capsule. When inserted into the brain-computer interface, current flows into the nerves, and the material in the capsule will be released. As the current attaches to the corresponding nerves, if everything goes well, the nerves will be repaired within six months."

The Kangtao representative who spoke had no intention of explaining the origin of the technology.

However, Lille is 90% sure that this thing must be technology they stole from Arasaka.

According to the original plot, they should have started contacting a senior engineer from Arasaka by now.

Seeing that Lear was not wavering, the black-clothed representative arrogantly put on his sunglasses: "This is a prototype. If this technology is stabilized, it may be able to save your life. Think about it yourself."

In fact, Lille was asked to experiment on V.

A person with a significantly higher response value means that her nervous system is more active and complex than ordinary people, and she is a better experimental subject.

Lille's short-lived life is no secret in Night City, and it's clear Kontao sees it as a win-win.

but

The man in black had just stood up and was about to leave in style when a voice came from behind him.

"Get the fuck out of here."

Who knows how many pitfalls the company will bury in "gifts"?

Snapped.

The unlocked box was smashed to the ground, trying not to knock out the chip.

Representative Kangtao's face suddenly darkened, and the bodyguard at the door also became serious when he saw this scene, and there was a slight buzzing under his suit.

"Bedding Boy"

"Ahem." Rogge leaned against the wall opposite the door, "Go this way for the exit."

The representative gestured to the bodyguard at the door. The bodyguard picked up the things and the group left.

Rogge said to Lille in the box: "So tempered? Isn't this a good opportunity to make a fortune?"

"Not everything can be fished out." The robotic arm opened the carry-on equipment box beside him. Lille took out a shot of neuroactive agent and injected it directly into an opening next to the brain-computer interface.

This is a newly installed prosthetic body. The special pressure pipe structure will accelerate the diffusion of drugs into the body, enhance the efficacy of the drug, and shorten the effective time.

Extreme Metal Unrestricted Racing is very large, and the various gangs that work for it have their own styles. It is quite a brain-consuming task to control it well.

Now he is receiving signals from various urban areas at the same time, and the data density is not high, but sometimes this kind of thing that cannot be thought of in code consumes brain power.

On top of that, there's a lot of work going on in the other world, too.

Seeing Lille like this, Rogge suddenly said: "When I first saw you, you were still a sick and fleshy man. You have become like this in a few months. You are really desperate. Even if you are not sick, you are like this." It’s hard for people to live long.”

“Sometimes it’s not a good thing to live too long.”

"I don't know how many people agree with what you said, but many people have already begun to join the ranks of risking their lives."

Rogge is well-informed. If Lille is the most open-minded among the gangs, she is the most open-minded among the middlemen.

Without company hindrance, once the two parties cooperate, it is quite easy to collect a lot of information.

For example, how booming the black market and black clinic business have been recently.

It has to be said that if the company and others who did not intend to participate were still skeptical of this plan at first, they have now learned to embrace Burger King——

Although this money is bloody, it is so profitable.

After sending the data, Rogge asked Lille a question: "Why have you done so much? Looking at you like this, you don't want to just obey and help the company, just for excitement? Or... to catch AI?"

"The information is quite good." He put away his equipment and walked out of the room.

As soon as he walked out of the box, the nightclub suddenly became a little quiet——

To be precise, the vocals stopped.

A long alien-shaped mechanical arm, a black heat-dissipating leather jacket, and two magical boxes containing countless tools that can turn defeat into victory.

Lear looked at Rogge, the current Queen of the Afterlife, a mercenary who once shocked the City of Night.

Time has not let her go. When the giant wheel of time passes by, she also grows old.

This kind of aging is not only reflected in the gradual aging on the face and the white hair.

Lear looked at the queen of the next life and smiled: "Of course it's to be the big brother."

Watching Leal leave the nightclub, the sounds of people talking filled the manic rock music again.

Rogge sat on the bar where he hadn’t sat for a long time——

When she was a mercenary a long time ago, she often sat here.

The bartender Claire looked at her boss a little nervously: "Have a drink?"

"Have a drink. Johnny Silverhand."

The charisma that Lear showed, she also had an old friend from long ago who could do it——

Thousands of people attended a concert and Arasaka Tower was jammed with water.

but

Now this is much more difficult to understand than Johnny.

If Johnny was able to achieve all of that at once by relying on something mysterious like "charm", what Leal is doing now is even more unpredictable. He is not as wild and individual as Johnny.

"But if you just look at the current situation, it's even crazier." Roger drank the cocktail in one gulp and looked at Claire, "By the way, did he keep his own recipe?"

"Jack has one, and V also has one. But it must be a joke, he never said it himself."

"I wonder what recipe he would have left."
