Chapter 23 Desert Skin
“Look, this is what I have achieved these days!”
The next day, in the dark shop, Littlefinger took out the finished product with a showy look on his face.
There are three kinds of finished products. The first one is a piece of pale implantable bionic skin. The second one is a glass bottle with a plaster similar to skin care cream. The third one is a A needle filled with transparent liquid.
These three models are three different qualities of 'desert skin', and the methods of use are also different. The first model needs to be implanted with bionic skin, the second model needs to be applied to form a cellular immune coating, and the third model needs to be smeared to form a cellular immune coating. The method is to give an injection directly.
The effectiveness of the three models is also different.
Gao Gong was the first to pick up the rough bionic leather, and the system automatically brushed out the attributes.
Desert Skin (whiteboard): A conjoined artificial skin that protects human body moisture and blocks the spread of electronic signals. Endurance +2, agility +2
Application status: moisture Sufficient, endurance recovery increases by 5% per minute
"This thing is a bit ugly," Gao Gong touched it with his hand, as if touching the skin of a 'chameleon', the surface was all granular.
"Some of them are useful," Little Finger curled his lips. "Those people want to replace all their organs with implantable weapons. Do they still care about beauty and ugliness? Anyway, there is a virtual experience machine, so you can do whatever you want in it. Play.”
“The virtual experience machine is an antique that I haven’t played in many years,” Gao Gong said with nostalgia. Although players in the game are not allowed to do some things that are inappropriate for children, snakes have their own ways. , Rats have their own paths, and the virtual experience machine is a special channel.
I think back then, when I transformed into Mr. G and developed a hyper-virtual machine with 99.99% realism, it felt like...
Ahem, a hero can't even mention how brave he was back then.
Gao Gong picked up the 'hand cream' again. This thing is much better than artificial leather. At least you don't need to peel it off before using it.
Desert Skin (Exquisite): Apply the plaster to form a cellular immune coating (requires eight hours of uninterrupted absorption for a long time) Endurance +3, Agility +2
Application status: Sufficient moisture, endurance recovery increased by 7 per minute %, can slightly resist radiation.
“This one is definitely the best-selling one.”
This ointment can be used for a long time or temporarily (it can only block electronic signals), and does not need to be applied all over the body , just apply it on certain key areas.
As long as you don't hide a gun under your crotch or a mine in your buttocks, this thing is enough to block the perception of most radioactive beasts.
"Of course," Little Finger was also very satisfied with it and said, "I have adjusted the formula and reduced the cost. One desert worm gland can be used to prepare two bottles of ointment. Adding some water to dilute it can make four bottles. When you enter the black market, you can exchange one bottle for ten bottles."
Gao Gong took a breath, gave a thumbs up, and said: "Gao, really Gao, he is worthy of being the number one black market doctor in the Automobile City. Your heart is not red at all!"
"Of course"
Speaking of the black heart, Little Finger looked proud and continued: "The last one is mainly for the high-end market. To attract high-level talents, there are no side effects, no adverse symptoms, and no mechanical rejection.”
The senior engineer picked up the last syringe. There are only two syringes of this type.
Desert skin (excellent): subcutaneous implant needle
Excellent biochemical preparation, completely blocking electronic signals, making the skin change with the environment like a tropical lizard, endurance +5, agility +3, armor + 10
Additional status 1: Skin Skin respiration - blood activity is reduced, endurance recovery is increased by 15% per second
Additional status 2: Immune to bleeding status
Additional status 3: Cold-blooded, reduces one's own infrared radiation, reduces the risk of being Probability of enemy discovery
Gao Gong was really surprised this time. It is said that the master leads the door and the practice is personal. Although players can draw the same drawings, the quality of the equipment they make varies.
‘The highest level a third-level blueprint can reach is ‘excellent’. This guy’s prosthetic doctor level must be over level ten. ’
Seeing the shocked expression on the senior engineer’s face, Littlefinger’s vanity was immediately satisfied, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth.
“This thing is just an exhibit. There are nearly thirty desert worms. I only got two subcutaneous implant needles in total. To be honest, I was in a good state at that time. In fact, I don’t know how. Made it.”
“Don’t let it slip when this thing is officially released.”
"Since it's a sample, that one is enough," Gao Gong took one unceremoniously and inserted it into his shoulder before his little finger could react.
As the implant needle is injected, Gao Gong can clearly feel that a kind of 'mutation' has appeared on the surface of the skin, just like first touching a layer of chili oil on the skin and then adding a layer of sunscreen. Frost, in a moment, both hot and cold things came up at once.
Gao Gong frowned and endured.
The skin surface first turns red, then returns to its original state, then turns pale, and then returns to its original state, repeated several times.
Then the skin began to undergo changes. Some parts were illuminated by the light of the electronic screen and turned into a blue snowflake screen. Some parts were reflected by the light on the metal workbench and turned into a metallic silvery white.
If you don't look carefully, you won't even realize there is someone in front of you.
As Gao Gong had a thought, all the colors on his skin disappeared immediately. Along with them, some calluses and scars disappeared. It seemed that his skin color became better than before.
In this current situation, who can say that the senior engineer is not a pretty boy? Who is he to worry about?
Gao Gong's eyes were shining and he praised: "A very good effect! I am very satisfied!"
"You, you kid!!"
Seeing Gao Gong become handsome again, Littlefinger felt regretful, and then stared straight at the last implant needle.
He also wanted to give himself a shot.
But this is the last one left in the exhibit. If I use it, I don’t know whether it will become more handsome or not. Sister Rose will definitely kill herself first.
"Okay, let's talk about the issue of sharing."
As soon as the friendly atmosphere changed, the two immediately became at war with each other.
"Fart! Thirty-seven points, do you know who developed this 'skin'? Without me, you can make this money?" "Nonsense, all business is dominated by channel dealers. Without our network, Believe it or not, this 'skin' will be confiscated by the security team the next day, and then it will be swallowed up by various forces."
"Is money important to you? It is important. It’s influence, connections, and the right to speak in the desert in the future. Such a small amount of money is nothing. Don’t be so stingy.”
“Shit, is this small money? As long as this skin is promoted, I will do it. The income from each operation is not as much as its one-day sales. Aren’t you Sister Rose’s best friend? How can you be so embarrassed to steal a woman’s money?” , Isn’t it natural for a rich woman to spend money to support her lover? Do you think I have no contribution at night? This is all hard-earned money!”
"You are shameless!"
"You are despicable!"
In terms of lack of moral integrity, the two of them are matched opponents and will meet good talents.
Fortunately, neither of them had any intention of quarreling with each other. Gao Gong knew that the other party could leave him and go it alone at any time, while Little Finger was also worried that the other party would use his waist to blow his pillow.
In the end, the two reached an agreement. The net profit after excluding costs was divided between them 64%, with Little Finger representing the channel dealer accounting for the majority, and the senior engineer accounting for 40%.
According to the agreement, the senior engineer will be responsible for hunting desert worms in the future. After all, the raw materials need to be kept secret, and Littlefinger does not have a mechanical hunter that he can completely trust.
Of the 40% of the profits, 20% of the income cannot be withdrawn directly from mechanical coins and can only be exchanged for various materials. According to Littlefinger, withdrawing too much cash will affect their money laundering business.
After signing the agreement, Gao Gong realized how profitable this business was. The net profit from the lowest-level skin implant alone was 2,000 machine coins, and the 'hand cream' was even 4,000 machine coins. .
Even if it is so expensive, this batch of ‘skins’ has already been confirmed, and the pre-orders have even been queued up to the third batch.
Those who strive for wealth in the desert know best how much their lives are worth.
With this thing, it can be said that as long as you don't take the initiative to hunt, or you are particularly unlucky to run into a tide of beasts, you basically don't have to worry about the threat of wild beasts.
It is also difficult to achieve this effect with high-level drawings.
This is what the desert needs.
Gao Gong calculated that with this batch of skins alone, he could earn a net profit of 30,000 mechanical coins.
This is much faster than robbery.
After the exchange of words, both of them were a little tired. Little Finger collapsed on the sofa and suddenly said: "You know? Sister Rose will be back soon."
"Oh? When?"
"Just in the next few days."
Since the Rose Gasoline Bar was closed, Senior Engineer knew that someone was targeting Black Rose.
The target is naturally not a bar, but the underground network controlled by Black Rose that spans more than a dozen oases.
Black Rose left during this period just to deal with this matter.
Listening to Littlefinger’s current tone, it seems that the matter has been resolved.
The senior engineer asked curiously: "Who did it to you?"
If it was the original senior engineer, just a little wolfdog, Littlefinger would be unlikely to discuss such a thing with him of.
But now, the other party has come up with two ‘surgical plans’ one after another, one of which is still a hard product that can dominate the market.
Littlefinger decided to change his attitude a little.
“In the entire Iron Sand Desert, you can count on one hand the number of people who can be called tycoons, and those who are interested in an underground intelligence network like ours will naturally be a fellow member of a certain grievance species.”
Peers, intelligence, tycoons
An idea flashed in Gao Gong’s mind, “That news tycoon Wang Tian?”
“That’s the one who sells newspapers.”
< br>
"So it's him," the senior engineer muttered to himself.
In addition to being the general manager of the factory, this tycoon Wang also had his Radiation Daily, the best-selling book in the desert.
This newspaper has a lot of useful information and is a must-read for mechanical hunters.
At this point, how could this guy suddenly be interested in the underground network?
If it is just a normal business expansion, it will be blocked by soldiers and water. Sister Rose is not lacking in skills.
But——
Gao Gong suddenly thought of another possibility, what if this was not just a business war, but served a real ‘war’.
He thought of an old saying.
Intelligence is the life of war.
