Chapter 575 Matt’s Family Conditions
“I used to live in Westbrook, my dad was a manager of a small company, and we lived in a skyscraper.”
“Say it. You may not believe it, but I went to Night City for the first time when I was almost 8 years old. "
Matt was lying on the prosthetic operating table, feeling a little nervous.
As he said, although he is not the kind of child who is born with a golden key in his mouth, his conditions are obviously much better than those of a street kid, and even much better than those of a family with a mother like David.
Lille is conducting a comprehensive physical examination on Matt to determine the next plan for prosthetic implantation.
What is certain is that the scale of implantation will be relatively small this time: this is a 10-year-old child after all.
“I understand, rich guy, what kind of medicine have you used?”
“Well, I went to a military science and technology school. My dad said that if you sign a project, you will get money. That's where I trained."
The Savage King raised his eyebrows: "Which project? "Give students strength?"
The Animal Gang's main activity venue is in the city center, and the conditions of generally low-standard combat prosthetics make it easier for them to evade prosthetic detection machines in the city center.
Of course, the Savage King is not among them.
Lil called her next to him because there were some body growth drugs that he might not know about, but the Animal Gang was an expert in this area.
But Lille knew that the project the Savage King was talking about was a project of military technology. It provided low-cost or even subsidized community schools to provide their students with arms, prosthetic eyes, and high-speed neural pathways
< br>In short, it is a project, a company project.
Except for the advanced brain-computer interface, Matt has no other advanced prosthetics. Generally speaking, he is relatively pure. Moreover, he did not go to an above-ground community school, so it should not be this.
As expected, Matt shook his head: "It's not this, it seems like the 'Road to the Top'?"
"Oh, I've heard of this, a combination of military technology and biotechnology. Project, giving high-end drugs to children
I didn’t remember. If I’m wrong, it seems that I mainly use NeuroGrowth growth hormone. No wonder you are so big.”
Matt is only about to turn ten years old, but his height is already over 150cm and his weight is almost 50 kilograms. This is definitely not an ordinary value.
However, considering the outrageous and cruel experimental plans of these two companies, these values are not too unimaginable, and there is no trace of artificial intelligence at all.
On the contrary, the cell data is quite excellent.
Liel repeated the name of the hormone: "NeuroGrowth growth-promoting hormone, promotes the overall development of the body and what else?"
"Let me think about it." The Savage King thought for a moment, "ErythroBoost red blood cells Enhancers, AnaboFlex-Steroid anabolic steroids, and a new type of drug, which seems to be called adaptive recovery hormone.
Basically, they are drugs used in conjunction with high-intensity training. I heard that the company is still in this area. It’s quite sincere. It’s definitely not to cultivate cannon fodder anyway.”
She paused for a moment and then added: "I'm referring to the kind of low-level cannon fodder that grabs a random person on the street and exchanges them for two prosthetics to become a soldier."
Matt's physical data is too good.
Bone density, fat mass, red blood cell concentration, blood oxygen, and muscle mass have all reached the super-excellent level for people of his age. These are values that have dropped after being homeless.
The nerve tolerance and immune system conditions are even more ridiculously good.
What the Savage King thought when he saw these data was: Holy shit, he was born with a holy body that can lift iron!
Lear is not a savage king. What he thinks of is: if the children cultivated according to this plan do not die while growing or have their training interrupted, their ability to tolerate prosthetics will be very good.
The man-made innate body that changes the machine.
Matt on the operating table trembled a little after hearing this - this was the first time he had performed a prosthetic implant surgery while lying on such a wild-looking operating table.
Brother Burger King, a bloody murderer who massacred hundreds of people in one night, still needs prosthetic surgery? !
After roughly figuring out his situation, Lille knocked on the table: "Yes, his physical condition is quite good. What sport do you want to engage in?"
"Football!"
"Why football?"
As Lille said, he took away a little bit of Matt's bone marrow and sent it to the biological culture medium.
The boy didn't notice that the operation had begun, and talked about why with great interest:
"Because he has money!"
"." Lear opened his mouth, "Why do you want to make money so much? Why do you want to wander on the streets?"
"I" Matt's mood became darker, "My mother secretly borrowed a large amount of money without my father's back." The money was owed to New Federal Bank, Arasaka Bank, and European Bank.
Later, she failed to pay the debt, so she called my dad overdue, which made my dad feel embarrassed. Got a job After the house was reclaimed and the access to the Internet was lost, we had no choice but to leave the skyscraper."
"But I didn't see your dad or your mom?"
"This is just the beginning— —" Matt's eyes were a little confused, "She kept the matter of borrowing money behind my dad's back for a long time. Because she was borrowing money to repay the money, she borrowed a lot of irregular black Internet loans and loan sharks.
You know, once people who borrowed such loans are kicked out of the company's territory, those people will"
When Matt said this, it seemed to bring back painful memories——
He I once lived in the Night City, but didn’t really need to “enter” The children of Night City had a good life and the company's development plan.
But as the debt exploded, their past life suddenly disappeared like a building.
Then that happened. Endless debt collection
Coincidentally, the leader of the illegal loan and debt collection business in the city center, or the leader of the gang, was here. The Savage King pretended to be nonchalant and scratched his butt. He noticed that Matt glanced at her nervously. Jack, V She and Lille also looked at her, and she raised her shoulders pretending to be innocent:
"Then why don't she just stop borrowing? Is it natural to pay back debts?" Some idiots like to use unearned methods to satisfy their unrealistic desires. Can’t you blame me?”
Although she looked calm, Lear could feel that she was panicking.
In fact, he could detect it without relying on the perception of negative film energy: this tall and thick female man even threw out three idioms in a row!
There was no way, the Savage King had to panic. Based on past experience, what these three eldest brothers did was a bit unreasonable.
The entertainment industry of Night City’s eating and drinking PD has been booming for so many years, but this is the first time someone has cracked down on it. Who knows what else they will do?
Matt shook his head: "My father said the same thing. Before I separated from him, he told me not to be like my mother, but I am very afraid of you."
< br>"It's right to be afraid"
We are not sending warmth, but this sentence was not spoken——
Halfway through her words, the Savage King closed her mouth under Lir's gaze, but when Lir looked away, she added at the speed of light: "What did she take it for?"
"My dad said It's stock trading."
Everyone here was in awe, and the Savage King had an expression of "I'll just say it" - this was even better than she imagined!
She thought it was a loan to buy a luxury prosthetic body or a luxury car, but she didn't expect that it was burned as firewood.
Everyone's fun-loving attitude quickly subsided, because Matt suddenly cried, crying very sadly.
Perhaps this emotion burst out in an undisguised and extreme way, and Lille seemed to "perceive" some vague pictures.
In the picture is a gentle woman whose expression when she looks at her is always full of love and care. Every day when she cries because of training matters, she comforts him with a bowl of hot homemade food. , listen to the problems he encounters, tell him stories, and watch games with him
It seems to be Matt's mother.
"But. How could my mother be such a person? I don't believe it."
Compared with the gentleness and vagueness conveyed by the previous broken scenes, what appeared in Lille's head later There is a very clear picture:
The woman stood in the dirty hotel room, staring at the air, her body shaking, as if waiting for something.
In the illusion, Matt stretched out his little hand, but was quickly slapped by the woman. dropped.
You can even hear the subtle voice in her mouth:
"Up, up, up."
Matt's slightly sobbing voice sounded: "Always cheer yourself up. The mother who accompanies herself to face tomorrow; the mother who always keeps the house clean; the mother who always tells herself stories to encourage herself when she is at a low point
And this mother, which one is real? "
Matt wanted to reach out and wipe his tears, but it was the robotic hand on the operating table that wiped his tears.
He stopped sobbing all of a sudden, but his tears became even more intense. It couldn’t stop flowing out——
This was what his mother did before: a gentle mother would always have a crying child.
“She didn’t even want to. She explained to me that she committed suicide a few days after we were kicked out to wander on the street. She just kept saying sorry to me.
I wanted to play football because I knew it was the most profitable sport, I wanted to make big money, I wanted to win.
If I had money, would my mother not have died? "
After finishing speaking, Matt thought and wiped his tears: "But. But she is dead. I just want to make a lot of money and pay back those people's money. I can also get my dad back." Come. ”
[The operation is completed.]
The probe specially used to maintain prosthetic eyes pierced the eyelids, the blurred vision began to recover, and a line of small words appeared above.
Lille patted him on the shoulder: "Then you have to work hard. Football is the most competitive sport. Also, these artificial eyes are quite high-end. 'Crying' will cause the lacrimal glands that are used to store maintenance fluid to overflow for maintenance." Liquid, reduce the service life
To win beautifully, just. You can't cry anymore, otherwise you will lose a lot of money before you even play the game."
"I know."
"By the way, how much money does your family owe?"
“I heard from my dad that it’s about 300,000 euros”
"This is a ball."
Liel patted the operating table, and the thing stood up immediately.
After changing from a lying position to a standing position, Matt had to work hard to maintain his standing position. At this station, all his sadness seemed to suddenly disappear.
Look around: they are all flashy street guys, and there are some who express regrets.
But it’s hard to tell how much I was moved.
He suddenly felt very embarrassed.
I am very embarrassed, and I really want to play football now
Even if I get kicked in the head by a professional player.
