The Afterlife Nightclub was bustling.
The key wasn't the number of people. Ever since Lier had walked in, no small fry had come here, which left Rog feeling a little conflicted-
On the one hand, the people coming were all corporate executives; on the other, none of them were there to see her.
Militech and Arasaka had arrived together, and they left together, too.
But an old friend had also stopped by.
Kang Tao Corporation had sent someone again to offer Lier sponsorship, which made things a little complicated.
[Little Octopus: Big bro, the medical analysis is ready. V's nervous system is indeed regenerating.]
This was unexpected, and it also meant Lier no longer had any reason to accept Kang Tao's stingy sponsorship.
In most cases, adult nerve cells could not regenerate. Once a nerve cell died, the damage was permanent.
This was a major reason why V's Sandevistan couldn't break through its theoretical acceleration limit of 20%.
Her last bout of Cyberpsychosis had burned away a large number of neurons. This meant that much of the Sandevistan's computing power and enhanced current had to be diverted to other muscle groups, ensuring that those necrotic nerves wouldn't leave her partially paralyzed or make her movements imprecise.
Simply put, the nerve cells' tolerance for current and other stimuli was being converted into functional compensation, preventing the Time-Stop-Like effect from improving any further.
But during the fight against the Full-Body Cyborg at the Slaughterhouse, Little Octopus noticed that V's limit seemed to have loosened. Lier immediately had Vic examine V.
That was when they discovered this.
Kang Tao's proposal was simple: help me test a new version of the Reality Distortion Shard and a new technology.
Even in the Cyberpunk World, nerve damage was a highly advanced medical issue-
But it wasn't
