Prosthetists will also not follow such rules because they will lose clients.

Just take it if you have money, why bother struggling with money.

Anyway, what kind of prosthetic body should be installed is also the customer's requirement.

After a while, Victor finally recovered from the shock.

He took off his sunglasses, looked at Su Xiao seriously and said, "I have a question, why are you doing this?"

"Although it's just our first meeting, I've heard of you since Jack said before that he wanted to bring you to see me."

"Is your relationship with Jack and the other two friends you mentioned so strong? Is it worth spending so much money?"

Facing Victor's doubts, Su Xiao smiled and answered with only two words.

"Worth it."

Seeing Su Xiao give the answer without hesitation, Old Wei was in awe.

"Your words are so heart-warming. Jack is lucky to have a partner like you."

Su Xiao shrugged. "Then maybe it's time to take off the warm baby you put on your back, doctor."

"You are so funny, but don't use such harsh names. Just call me Old Wei like Jack."

PS1: Yesterday I received 230 monthly tickets, 7728 rewards, and 150 blades.

Based on rounding, I owe 6,000 words.

Current progress (4000/58000).

This chapter is a guaranteed update, and there will be an additional chapter tonight.

Chapter 65: Master, stop reading (4K)

"The best prosthetic body so far is the latest Fourth Generation Implants (legendary), but the fourth generation is not easy to handle."

"If you need money, just ask, Old Wei."

"This is not a matter of money. Many prosthetics, such as the top model "Sandevistan", will never be exported and are not available on the black market. But what Jack wants now is "Kerenzi Ke Fu". I will try my best and maybe I can get it."

"If that doesn't work, then you may have to find a middleman. After all, you know, I'm just a prosthetic doctor."

After the two discussed, Su Xiao and Victor walked back.

Jack was fiddling with the tools Victor was using to help people perform surgery.

Accidentally dropped a scalpel to the ground.

When he saw the two men coming back, he quickly picked up the scalpel and put it in the tool box.

Pretending to be nonchalant, he said, "What are you talking about? You've been here for so long and you still keep it so mysterious?"

Su Xiao and Old Wei looked at each other and smiled.

"It's nothing. I just asked Victor about the prosthetic body."

Jack showed a surprised expression. "Didn't you say you don't want to undergo prosthetic transformation? Have you changed your mind?"

"No, I just understand."

Victor pointed at the operating chair and said to Jack.

"Jack, you lie down on the chair and I will check you first."

Jack lay down on the chair obediently and obediently like a primary school student.

This isn't his first time here.

No

Waiting for Victor to speak, he pulled out the personal connection cable from his wrist and plugged it into Old Wei's device.

Old Wei moved a chair and sat in front of Jack.

Then he raised his head and looked at Su Xiao, who came over and wanted to take a look too. "Do you want to move a chair for you?"

Su Xiao waved his hand.

"No, I can just stand."

So Victor began to concentrate on checking.

He looked at the data and images displayed on the display screen after scanning Jack's body.

The frown deepened.

"You've been drinking a lot lately, and your liver doesn't want it anymore?"

Jack scratched his head guiltily. "Isn't there nothing we can do? Besides, if it's really broken, we can just replace it with a new artificial liver. That'll be fine."

Victor shook his head in disgust.

"It's easy to say, it doesn't cost money? Alcohol is not a good thing, just a moderate amount is enough. If you drink so much, your liver will be damaged, and you have to spend money to get a new one. Why bother?"

"Wait, don't move, I haven't finished checking yet."

"Fortunately, you don't smoke, so at least your lungs and heart are still healthy."

"Well, the kidneys are okay. At least he looks like a thirty-year-old person. At least he's not like those Corp Dog guys in suits and ties. He's young and his health is as bad as that of someone in his fifties or sixties."

Jack was a little surprised. "Corp Dog also comes to see you for medical treatment? Don't they have medical insurance?"

"What do you think, except for "Kang Tao" who ordered the gold membership package of "Trauma Team" for his own employees, other Mega Corporations don't have this benefit."

"Want medical insurance? Yes, you can pay for it at your own expense."

"What's more, not everyone can work at Mega Corporation. Those ordinary companies that are not giants are even worse."

"More work, less money, no overtime pay, even if you have to listen to your boss talking about life and ideals all day long, asking you to pay and contribute to the company."

Jack I feel sick in my stomach when I listen to it.

I just feel pain, it hurts too much.

"I don't know what they are doing in that skyscraper all day long, and how they got their bodies like this."

"But you have to say that they are all doing it for their career. How many people have been busy all their lives, but they are still poor and confused."

"You said they were fishing at work, and their bodies were broken again."

Seeing that Victor was about to continue speaking, Jack quickly raised his hands in surrender. "Stop reading, master, stop reading."

"Okay, okay, get up."

Victor took out a brand new, unopened box.

Open it and take out an inhaler.

Leave it to Jack who climbed up from the operating chair.

"Suck it once now, then every six hours, and then again, three times a day. Come to me after you finish."

Jack took the inhaler and took a breath with confidence, then asked, "What is this for?"

"Didn't you say you should pretend to be "Kerenzi Ke Fu"? This is to allow your body to adapt in advance and minimize side effects and rejection reactions."

"It's really reliable, thank you, Old Wei."

Seeing that Jack was so excited that he subconsciously wanted to take another sip, Victor quickly stopped him.

"Follow the doctor's advice. Inhaling more or less is harmful to the body. You and Su go ahead and I will call you when the goods arrive."

Farewell to Victor, the two of them left the underground clinic.

When I was leaving, a mother and daughter happened to come down the stairs.

When the mother and daughter saw Su Xiao and Jack coming up, they instinctively bowed slightly.

Probably Japanese.

Out of politeness, the two of them nodded in greeting.

The mother and daughter passed by Su Xiao and Jack, walked down the stairs, and entered the gloomy clinic.

The atmosphere in the clinic made the little girl a little scared and hid behind the woman.

Victor, who had just turned on the screen and hadn't watched the boxing match for a few seconds, looked up when he saw someone else coming in.

"You are..." Victor was stunned for a moment.

There is a familiar feeling.

The woman bowed deeply. "Victor-san, long time no see."

Victor took off his glasses, wiped them with a cloth, and put them back on. "It's been a long time indeed."

His eyes fell on the little girl, who cowered and hid behind her mother. "Is this your daughter?"

"Yes, Ryoko, come and say hello."

Victor Seeing that the little girl had been hiding tightly behind her mother, she turned on all the fluorescent lamps in the room.

Let the dark clinic suddenly become brightly lit.

Then, he came to the mother and daughter and half-crouched in front of the little girl.

Take out a lollipop from your pocket.

The little girl's attention was immediately attracted by the lollipop.

But I'm still a little scared.

Under the encouraging eyes of her mother, she finally plucked up the courage and took the lollipop from Victor's hand.

"Thank you, uncle."

Victor smiled and touched the little girl's head, then stood up and asked the woman, "Miss Chihana, I heard that you are working with Tiger Claws Gang now?"

"When you come to my place, you must not only be here to catch up with me, an old friend, right?"

"Why, doesn't Tiger Claws Gang have its own prosthetic doctor?"

Chihana shook his head.

"In fact, that's why I'm here. I hope you can take out the tracker installed on us."

One week later.

Victor's clinic

Inside.

Old Wei Move the display screen.

Stand up and take a few steps back.

"How are you feeling?"

V sat up from the operating table and looked around.

I was a little confused at first.

Until she gradually adapted to herself after the operation.

"This feels really good, Old Wei."

V blinked.

I just feel that my vision is brighter than ever before.

It's like a person who has been wearing old glasses for a long time and finally gets a new pair of glasses with the right prescription.

Victor chuckled.
