Chapter 389: A few more votes
The commissions from Lane and Jefferson are basically an upgraded version of their previous commissions.
Jefferson himself is very concerned about the violent crimes that exist throughout Night City, and it is reasonable for him to investigate Holt and the mercenaries and weapons sent in by the Europeans.
Lane is more concerned about the relationship between the circulating AI Muramasa and the Europeans. He himself does not seem to have much resistance to the entry of Europeans, but is focused on AI.
Secondly, the remuneration increased by both parties is of the same level. It is obvious that the two seem to have a certain degree of consensus on bringing Lille to the table.
It’s just a matter of who Lille chooses to be closer to when the time comes.
The car slowly left. The three of them stood on the street and looked at the busy NCPD vehicles. Several centaur mechas even came to block the scene.
With the pressure from these Europeans, the NCPD immediately installed centaur mechas and probably more other equipment.
"Are we going to become decent people?"
Jack looked calm, but his tone was also a little uneasy.
The most decent life he could imagine before was to become the boss of Valentino, open a legal business such as a casino, bar or restaurant, and be a "godfather" in the gray area of the law.
But to be honest, no matter how awesome the godfathers of the gray industry are, they cannot compare with the status that Night City has given them now.
It is one thing to be able to fight, but it is another thing to be an official.
This is the unsettling part. I am calm because he is not far from the most awesome person I imagined.
He couldn't imagine what it was like to be a high official in Night City.
V only cares about one thing: "Why didn't he say how much?"
Obviously, this is also beyond V's imagination.
If she was still that street kid, she would only think that "these dog officials must have endless money."
Now she has expanded her horizons a lot. She knows that dog officials have money. A lot, but how much exactly?
Secondly, she doesn’t have much idea of what more money can be used for.
"." Lear glanced at V, "I think you have too much money now and have no place to spend it, so you don't need to worry about this."
V glared back.
"Ahem, let's just continue the investigation anyway. Whether we do it or not is another matter. If it doesn't work, let them convert it into cash."
But it may be necessary to go to Dog Town. of.
Liel took two steps forward and suddenly stopped and looked at the medical center building, which was still being cleaned.
Jack and V stopped after him.
But it wasn’t Lille who wanted to stop.
[Little Octopus: Brother, there are problems with your brain waves, brain blood flow, and brain pressure. Your brain temperature has been higher than normal for 24 hours. 】
[Little octopus: It seems to be a tumor. 】
Yes, the cells have become cancerous.
The lizard medicine will continue to stimulate Lille's cell vitality. Under normal circumstances, although it will shorten his lifespan, living like this is actually not a big problem.
The biggest problem is not the life span of cells, but the potential canceration probability of biological cells.
The two overclocking uses of SiAnwestein overdraw the potential of cells too much. When cells divide and differentiate repeatedly, the probability of cancer will greatly increase.
Besides, Lille's body itself contains a certain amount of radiation. Although it has not reached the point of endangering life, it will continue to increase the probability of cancer.
Tumors can compress nerve tissue and cause neurological dysfunction, which is manifested as prolonged reaction time and slowed nerve conduction velocity.
Now he is going to see someone for surgery.
"Hey!" V approached Lille, "What are you doing? Are you sick?"
Just as the labor pain ended, Lille returned to normal and shook his head: "It's not a big problem."
V look at him She suddenly said: "Sister, you are rich, do you want to buy some medical package or something? I see biotechnology advertising every day about nano-treatment surgery and so on."
"It doesn't make much sense."< br>
Lille's problem is a genetic problem, and it is a very complex genetic problem.
Inserting the lizard gene allows the entire body to have the ability to regenerate and counteract the declining cells. It does not fundamentally solve the cause of the disease, but adds an ability to the body to counteract the most direct symptoms.
The damage to DNA caused by radiation and chemicals is unbalanced. If you want to use gene therapy to cure it, you must sequence all cells, compare them with normal DNA, and then set up repair plans one by one
However, as time goes by, it is difficult to say what will happen to these dividing cells.
With current technology, the possibility of complete cure is slim.
But since both Ryan and Jefferson said that Dog Town might have useful technology, he could really go take a look. And as long as he obtains a formal status, the sale and use of some technologies will not be so restricted, and many companies will be happy to provide him with technical support.
But his problems are really not that easy to solve.
Looking at the bombed medical center, Lille had many thoughts flashing through his mind -
“Let’s go, first go to Lao Wei’s clinic and let me see what’s going on. .”
Jack and V followed behind and looked at each other, then followed silently.
The method of tumor removal is very simple. Generally speaking, it is to cut out the tumor directly.
Carry out genetic testing on the cut pieces of meat and tissue after each cut. If there are no problems, you can stop the removal.
Unfortunately, Lille's cellular DNA is highly non-uniform, and there are problems no matter how it is tested.
So although Lao Wei already has a very powerful nanomachine operating table, it is still difficult to use such traditional methods for resection.
As for other radiotherapy, microwave and radiofrequency therapies, they are essentially just different methods of removal. However, as long as the disease gene cannot be identified, it is impossible to confirm that the cancer cells have been completely removed.
It can only be estimated.
During the resection process, the clinic was a little quiet——
Lao Wei breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the last incision and suturing, took off his glasses, and said with a sigh:
“I still remember the first time we cooperated, it was remote cooperation. I told V that you were a little unreliable. I didn’t expect that your legends are everywhere in the city now.”
Anesthesia will affect Lear's physical flexibility, but not his mental flexibility.
Still lying on the bed, Lille looked at Lao Wei’s clinic——
Lao Wei’s clinic was still the same, although it had a few more high-tech equipment that he asked Lao Wei to buy. , but the overall style has not changed much.
It was as if it was his first time here.
“What are you going to do?”
"There is news that Dog Town will receive a batch of high-end equipment. Once the next step is completed, you can go in and find a way to survive with the sign of Night City."
"Dog Town, that place is dangerous."< br>
"I said." V sat on a chair and put his hands on the backrest, " I still have more than one million in my account. Do you really want to see what I can buy?”
“I also have almost one million!” Jack also raised his hand and said, “Total up. It’s almost 3 million.”
“I think you are both a little bloated.” Lear smiled.
This little money is enough for some fun.
Two street boys never thought they could earn so much money in their lives.
Unfortunately, judging from the current situation in Lille, if he really chooses to use the company's services, he may be saved, but the price will definitely be more than a few million.
One is that the disease is difficult to treat, and the second is that the company’s tailor-made rescue services will only set a more expensive price based on his status.
What’s more troublesome is that the situation in Night City is getting more and more tense now, but he can’t deal with the things here wholeheartedly.
The situation at Marvel is also intensifying.
His own life and many things he wants to keep are at stake.
Liel stood up from the bed: "But this money is not enough. Dog Town sells everything worth hundreds of millions.
Let's keep this little money to improve our lives. , I have to do a few more things for him.”
“Alright.”
Jack chuckled and held out his fist.
Lil and V also laughed, and the three of them touched their fists.
Lao Wei was putting away the surgical tools - just at this moment he found that the boxing match was still playing on his computer.
It was the important match that the boxer he liked lost for some reason.
He turned off the TV, then sat at the table, folded his arms, and looked at the three young people with relief.
He sighed in his heart:
I don’t know why, although the situation is always the worst.
But this kid always gives people the feeling that he will always win.
