Chapter 829! Intolerable betrayal
Chapter 829! Intolerable betrayal
……
If we use a rough word to describe the strength of Mann's team, it is that they are stronger than ordinary gang members and can be considered elite soldiers. However, the main reason is that their prosthetics are too bad and most of them are second-hand.
Of course, they can't afford good prosthetics, otherwise in the original plot, why would Mann be so concerned about the Swanwestin prosthetic spine? It's because that thing can exponentially enhance his combat effectiveness. Moreover, a child who just lost his mother can immediately form combat effectiveness by relying on that second-hand military prosthetic spine, and after a little training, he becomes the main force of the team. It is conceivable how much a good prosthetic can add to combat effectiveness.
However, even if they were all equipped with the best military prostheses, in Shen Ye's opinion, they would at most be small bosses on the roadside. Not to mention him, if he met V in the later stage, after he was killed, V would probably complain about it as a waste.
Of course, another reason is that their bodies cannot withstand the erosion of prostheses. The more prostheses they implant and the more they are used, the more likely they are to become cyber maniacs, unless they are people like V or Adam.
Then Shen Ye looked at Mann with a look of longing on his face and shook his head slightly. In the plot, he used prosthetics too much and finally became a cyber madman. As a result, his girlfriend Dolio was killed by him personally. It was simply ruthless.
Thinking of this, Shen Ye felt that there was only one thing Mann had to do, and that was to retire immediately and quit. But that was obviously impossible. Although he was in Night City and was an edgewalker, Mann was a man of affection and righteousness. He would not abandon his companions for his own sake.
Besides, what the mercenaries in Night City fear is not death, but dying worthlessly in bed. They would rather die gloriously and have their names appear on the drink list of the afterlife bar...
Mann was still there, looking forward to the future, Shen Ye was still thinking with his head down, Lucy, who had been paying attention to him, came over and whispered: "Shen, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing." Shen Ye came back to his senses and shook his head. Then he took a sip of wine and asked, "How long has it been since you changed your prosthetic body?"
"Why are you asking this?" Lucy was stunned for a moment, but still said honestly: "Mann and Dolio replaced their arms a few days ago. They were bought second-hand on the black market... maybe third-hand... maybe fourth-hand, and the three of us..."
At this point, Lucy pointed at herself, then at Qiwei and Sasha: "We are hackers. We don't need large-scale implants. At most, we can replace artificial eyes and network access devices..."
"Pyrrha is a poor bastard. He hasn't moved his arm in months since his last arm replacement."
"Rebecca does want to change, but her brother accidentally let it slip yesterday that she seems to be saving money to get herself an adult body..."
"So the prosthetics you are wearing now are of very low quality, right?" Shen Ye said to Lucy.
After a moment of hesitation, Lucy nodded helplessly and said, "Not only is the quality low, but I don't know how many times the product has been passed on... Actually, it doesn't matter how many times it has been passed on. The main thing is that I can't get a good prosthetic body."
"I know a prosthetic doctor. He is the best prosthetic doctor in Night City. If you have time, you can go find him and tell him my name. He will give you a first-class prosthetic body." Shen Ye has also gone to see Lao Wei during this period. The two have a good relationship and have become friends.
"Free?" Lucy asked curiously.
Shen Ye glanced at her: "Is it possible?"
"It's not free and we can't afford to change it."
"That's why I asked you to tell me my name. I'll pay you when I go to drink with him."
Qi Wei suddenly interrupted and said, "That's not good. Although we know you are rich, we are embarrassed to keep spending your money. Only someone feels comfortable with it."
"Just say my name. What do you mean by someone?" Sasha also squeezed over and said unhappily, "Besides, I don't feel embarrassed. Look, haven't I been thinking about how to repay him?"
Sasha's words immediately changed the subject. Qi Wei sneered and said, "Yeah, thinking about having sex with him all day long, is this what you call a reward?"
"Haven't you ever thought about it?" Sasha rolled her eyes: "I don't know who sent a message to Shen a few days ago, asking him if he wanted to see Blueberry..."
Hearing this, Shen Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, while Lucy looked at Qi Wei solemnly, her eyes full of shock.
We clearly agreed to join forces first, but you actually... It's totally intolerable.
"You hacked into my phone?" Qi Wei didn't blush, but asked coldly.
"Invasion? Have you forgotten that you were the one who sent me home that day? I happened to be next to you when you sent the text message and saw it at a glance. Is there any need to invade?" Sasha said disdainfully.
"Uh..." Qi Wei held her forehead with her hand. She was drunk at the time. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the case.
At this moment, Lucy's eyes were fixed on her, and her voice, which was filled with anger, sounded very calm: "Qi Wei..."
"I was drunk." Qi Wei was much more shameless than expected. She said calmly: "You know, when people drink too much, they usually can't control their true thoughts... In fact, we are all the same. Can you guarantee that you didn't think that way?"
"Hehe..." Lucy sneered: "But I won't betray my friends like you do."
So Qiwei stopped talking, lit a cigarette, drank, smoked, and looked up at the ceiling, pretending she heard nothing.
"What are you talking about? What happened to Qiwei?"
After listening for a while to Mann talking about the wonderful life after becoming famous in the future, Rebecca noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere on Shen Ye's side. She immediately squeezed in between Lucy and Sasha, and then felt their voluptuous bodies, which made her very uncomfortable.
"It's nothing, just someone betrayed her companions." Sasha said with a smile. She was very happy to see the friendship of those who had been working together to deal with her broken. It was really interesting.
Hearing this, Rebecca blinked, her eyes darting back and forth between Qiwei and Lucy, and then she let out a long "oh".
"Serves you right!" She muttered softly, and then asked: "What were you talking about earlier?"
"About the replacement of prosthetics." Lucy retracted her gaze from Qi Wei, "Shen said he found the best prosthetics doctor in Night City for us."
"Can you give me a new body?" Rebecca asked immediately.
"The kind with big breasts and a big butt."
