Being able to keep the little one here is really a gift for Hua. Without him, he can give the warmth like a family with all his heart.
The food, housing and care are taken care of, and it is very fulfilling for him to stay in this temporary "nursery". In addition, Xie Yuan respects the little guy's consciousness very much. After discovering that he has the ability to predict his arrival in advance, Xie Yuan will let him stay more In the cave, coming back later.
During the time he was out, Xie Yuan opened a shop in Quintus' lower city area - a prosthetic doctor's clinic and a free clinic at the same time.
The Prosthetic Doctor Clinic is actually not a new thing. Nastrum itself is a city built thirty thousand years after human civilization. Without some implanted components in this kind of cruel desperado, he would not be able to exert his terrifying lethality. .
To say the least, if you don’t need high-grade implant components, you won’t even be able to go out!
Compared with Night City, Xie Yuan is already at the level of a top prosthetic doctor in terms of skills - in the past, he often helped Rogge update his prosthetics. Later, with the enhanced training from the Mechanicus, his skills became more mature. .
However, as a person who doesn't like publicity, he chose a very remote place to open a business after modifying the memories of city government personnel and the file information in the household registration database.
This way he could rest and leave at any time without attracting attention.
And as long as he hangs up the sign of a prosthetic doctor's clinic, and as long as he doesn't kill people on the spot, the gang won't deliberately find trouble with him.
In fact, the reason why Xie Yuan chose a prosthetic doctor as a career was because he noticed that no matter which region the prosthetic doctor's clinic was, most of them had basically never suffered life-threatening injuries from the time they opened to the present.
The only thing that can determine the survival of a prosthetic clinic is the supply of prosthetic parts—and this must come from the unified distribution of the local elixir guild.
The Elixir Guild is responsible for the development and sale of a variety of legal and illegal drugs. They are also responsible for holding genetic map sampling ceremonies that are crucial for marriages between nobles, formulating the world's reproductive policies and epidemic prevention measures, and implanting prosthetics. It's just a small branch of the elixir guild's management authority.
Relying on memory modification, information database tampering, and the three large diamonds handed over by Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan successfully obtained the license of a black iron-level prosthetic doctor, able to disburse 100 inferior implants every month.
In fact, this is also a very dark policy - after 100 pieces of sub-grade implants are used up, if you go to the elixir guild to pick them up, you will have to repay the cost tax of the previous implants. Considering that the cost of the goods has been Complete transparency... plus the cost of labor costs, it is already very rare for an iron-level doctor to be able to visit Hukou in one month.
Therefore, in order to make extra money, all low-level prosthetists will do something that is against the rules of the guild but is quite profitable.
…
"Hey! Is there anyone?!"
This is the fourth day that Xie Yuan opened his stall. The first three days were crowded, but on the fourth day, a guy in tattered clothes but with a surly expression ran in.
"What's the matter?" Xie Yuanru asked calmly, leaning on the bar.
"Are you the new prosthetic doctor?" This man in rags has a bloody red scimitar tattooed on his body. He is a member of the Blood Blade Gang in the nearby streets. "I have heard of your name. You don't have any implants." A prosthetic doctor who is into things! Is that okay?”
"Can I do it? You'll know if you try it?" Xie Yuan gently pushed the tablet to the front of the stage.
"Tch!" Unexpectedly, the little guy snorted when he heard this, "You are a black-level prosthetic doctor with nothing on your body, who wants to get some worthless defective products from you!"
"Then what do you want from me?" Xie Yuan spread his hands.
"There is a scavenger business... do you want to do it?" the minion suggested, "My name is Luo Yins. When I came to collect debts, a man had no money to pay me, so he gave me a full-body high-grade implant. Give me the vegetative state of things.
I want to take out these implants and useful organs and sell them on the black market. How about you help me take them out and split the proceeds 30/70? Do you dare to do it? "
That's right, this illegal business is called scavenging - the business of human implants and organ removal.
There is a scavenger gang in Night City, which is very powerful and large in scale, but weak in strength - it is the most despicable existence in the gang circle.
But there is no dedicated scavenger gang here, because each gang does some scavenger work to a greater or lesser extent - whether it is the main livelihood or a casual side income.
The Blood Blade Gang sounds very bloody, but in fact it is a serious gang that does security business and helps people watch places. It rarely involves the scavenger business.
"Does this person have any background?" Xie Yuan looked at Luo Yins suspiciously and asked, "My clinic is so remote, why don't you find a bronze or silver-level prosthetic doctor next door?"
"It's none of your business if you don't have any background!" When Luo Yins heard this, he opened his mouth and cursed, "I received it from debt collection, a vegetable. I can deal with it how I want to deal with it. You only need to answer whether you should do it or not. Already?"
But Xie Yuan just crossed his arms and looked at Luo Yins silently. When he heard this, he knew that the reason was definitely not that simple.
Maybe Luo Yins really couldn't find any other manpower, so he revealed the truth with a curse: "Oh, to tell you the truth, the silver level kicked us out as soon as they heard it was a green good-grade implant. - I think the quality is too low. The nearby bronze-level prosthetic doctors are familiar with us, but the fee is divided into 30-70 - between the three of us, this is too low! It doesn't even cover the cost.
Seeing that the cost of placing this living corpse is very high, for the sake of old customers, the prosthetic doctor told me your address - anyway, you are a black-level doctor. You haven't had any customers for three days and you are in urgent need of practice. , but also to repay the elixir guild's payment for prosthetic parts... I think you need this order. "
Well, this is true. If there are no more orders, at this pace, it is estimated that it is impossible to earn enough money for 100 prosthetic parts in thirty days, and Xie Yuanke's license as a prosthetic doctor will be automatically revoked.
And once the first time is revoked, it will really not be that simple for Xie Yuan to obtain another prosthetic doctor license - it will be annoying to check the background.
Although Xie Yuan wants to be based in this city, he has the means to live a stylish life in other ways, but the prosthetic doctor is a rare existence that even the killer team of the nobles will not easily obliterate - maybe his status is not high, but he is a qualified doctor Professional prosthetics are always needed.
Because stronger, more durable, and longer-lasting prosthetic implants are already a necessary need for people in the city.
"Okay!" For the sake of paying the money, Xie Yuan also agreed.
But just when Luo Yins whistled to call him up, Xie Yuanxian gave him a vaccination: "But I only remove the implant, not the organ."
"Why?!" Luo Yins looked at Xie Yuan with wide eyes.
"No reason, I just have a bit of a holy mother's heart and don't want to see people die like this."
Xie Yuan said calmly, and before Luo Yins could say anything, Xie Yuan stopped him with one sentence, "I will help you take out all the implants completely, and at the same time, I will do it for you." How about a little biological repair to make them look like new?"
"...Yes!" Luo Yins was speechless and finally agreed, but he also turned his head and shouted, "You have so much fame even if you don't have money."
Xie Yuan took a look at the patient who had already moved on the stage and was about to undergo the implant removal operation. Under the pale skin, there were almost atrophied muscles and the protruding shape of the implant.
Judging from the appearance, this is still a good-looking woman, but no matter what she was in the past, she is now a pig being pushed onto the operating table to be slaughtered.
Xie Yuan opened the door of the sterilization cabinet, took out a metal shawl with a medical machine servo arm and put it on his body. As the safety fixed valves on the front and rear engaged each other, he reached behind his back and pressed the start switch.
"Buzz!" The engine with the built-in small cold nuclear reactor began to roar slightly, and the servo drive woke up.
"Puff!" "Puff!" Several nerve probes on the metal shawl have automatically penetrated into the skin, and the organic nerve links in the probes have automatically connected with the subcutaneous nerve endings.
"Hmph!" A strange sense of shock immediately filled Xie Yuan's whole body, causing him to hum softly, but he stopped quickly.
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
Then soon, with the control of Xie Yuan's consciousness, the four memory metal medical mechanical appendages installed on the shawl began to swing up and down flexibly.
Each of the appendages is equipped with six injection pistons, each of which can hold a dose of medicine, which are all emergency medicines used in medical operations. In addition to providing emergency care, a flesh-and-blood stapler on the appendage can be used to stop bleeding, and a small chain saw scalpel attachment can reduce the difficulty of amputation. It is a comprehensive medical and field surgical assistance tool.
"Wow, wow, wow!" Luo Yins looked at the way the servo arm was swinging flexibly on the metal waistcoat and couldn't help but admire, "This looks like a prosthetic doctor."
Xie Yuan rolled his eyes at Luo Yins, then asked them to stay aside, put on an external scanning prosthetic eye, turned on the scanning function, pressed the limbs with one hand, and gently held the cutting knife with the other hand, and slowly cut Open the skin of the person on stage.
