Chapter 22 Prosthetic Clinic
“Well, yes, it’s a deal again.”
Jariden sat in the armchair and replied to the screen in front of him.
On the other side of the screen, there was a dimly lit room with large areas of cracked walls and a blood-stained operating bed in the middle - at this moment, a person was lying on this iron bed.
Then, a thin figure slowly approached the bedside, and the slender scalpel outlined a dangerous arc.
Seeing this, the person on the bed began to move wildly, but under the restraints, he could only watch the other person getting closer and closer.
Next to the operating bed, there were several open refrigerators, and a wisp of cold air rose in the dim light.
"I can pay it back! I really have the ability to pay it back! Give me some more time! Really! Woo! Give me a little more——"
The next moment, the man's face on the operating bed The figures struggling and wailing, approaching with a scalpel in hand, were all blocked by a sudden large face.
"Fuck! Stop doing this! Who are you scaring!"
Jaredon was startled subconsciously, and then cursed.
"Who has time to scare you? What nonsense are you talking about! I'm adjusting the camera!"
The other party was not polite and cursed casually while adjusting the position.
After tinkering for a while, the other party sat down away from the camera.
“How much did you borrow?”
"I only put away 120,000 yuan. I'm afraid I won't be able to get back any more. But after reading the files, I feel that this guy is barely a potential stock. I can take my time in the future."
Hearing this, the other party nodded first. head, then sighed.
"The gang has been short of funds recently, and the competition in organ trading is huge now, so we rely on you to make money by lending money. We still suffer the loss of not having the skills. These guys can't pay, so they can only take Come dig out organs and make a one-time deal."
"Technical slave labor is still not making any progress?" Jaredan frowned.
“No, every one of them will die after being modified, their whole brains will be burned to a pulp, and the few who are not dead will only be able to live for four or five days – this kind of technology is too expensive on the black market, and the cheap ones are too expensive. There are pitfalls, there is nothing we can do.”
The other party spread his hands: "Paroser is not like it was a few years ago. Now everyone is doing organ sales. The competition is too great. Those corporate dogs are trying to lower the price to death. It's really fucking stupid."
"Forget it, it's useless to talk." The other party cursed and shook his head: "You just have to know in your heart. The boss will go to negotiate with the leader of the Steel Knife Association later on about the ownership of Songshi Street. I You still have to prepare something.”
The other party hung up the video communication without waiting for an answer.
Jariden hummed twice, grabbed a handful of colorful candies on the table, peeled off the sugar coating, and threw it into his mouth. The chemical addiction mixed with the candies quickly dissipated and merged into the blood.
With a familiar and endlessly pleasant feeling of lightness coming from his body, Jaredan relaxed his body, lay back, and exhaled a long breath.
A person's mental endurance is different, and it is impossible to implant prosthetics without limit. The theoretical limit of transformation for ordinary people is 50%, but under normal circumstances, 40% is already a very dangerous threshold, which is likely to cause Cyberpsychosis.
Even if he is a gang member who is accustomed to fighting and lives for a day, his transformation rate is only about 30%.
——To put it more concretely, a person's upper body, including the head, occupies 70% of the entire body, and the lower body occupies 30%.
Because of this, many people are still unwilling to replace "implanted organs", but prefer to use "biological organs".
Emerald Pharmaceutical uses personal data to cultivate in petri dishes and tailor-made "biological organs". Of course, it is very good, but this level of service is too expensive, and ordinary middle class people will feel pain.
so.
Where there is consumption, there is a market, and where there is a market, there is profit. Therefore, even in this era, organ trading has not been eliminated. Organs dug out from people are much cheaper than Jade Pharmaceuticals.
However, when the "Enlightened Ones" were at their worst a few years ago, at least on the surface, the people in Paloser had restrained themselves, and there were much less underground organ sales and other activities - no one thought Be an object of "killing chickens to scare monkeys". Especially when facing a group of "enlightened ones".
Those lunatics do lose often, but who are they up against? They are either giant corporations or the actual controllers of certain economic entities. In the face of these powerful people who dare to destroy the city, the fact that the "Enlightened Ones" can be defeated but not destroyed already explains a lot of problems.
Things are rare and valuable, and organs from that time were quite valuable.
But this is already the old days.
A year ago, the Jade Pharmaceuticals branch of Palother suddenly launched an offensive, leading the armed forces of the coalition government to launch an offensive against the local enlightened people. The latter suffered heavy casualties and serious injuries.
Therefore, over the past year, the Enlightened Ones have become less powerful than before, their activities have been significantly reduced, and they no longer have any deterrent effect.
One after another, gangs who didn’t know how long they could survive immediately appeared. Considering the way to make quick money, they all chose loan sharking. Once they can't repay the money, they will first arrange for the other party to borrow it from another platform, and then sell the other party's organs.
"Tsk, resist the company."
Jariden chewed the candy, sneered, put all these things behind, and devoted himself to the online gambling game in front of him.
After getting into a taxi, the young man’s expression suddenly changed.
The original fear and youthfulness faded away, replaced by calmness.
The "young man" not long ago was obviously Song Shi.
"It's been a long time since I've done this, but it seems like my skills aren't new yet?"
Song Shi half-leaned on his seat and looked out the window.
In this world, what is the fastest way to make money?
——Online loans, of course.
No need for collateral, no matter your credit rating, you can lend money immediately, and you can give money if you dare to borrow. It is convenient and fast. Is there any faster way to get money than this?
As for the personal file just now, of course it was a forgery.
Of course my network technology is not first-class, but in such a small place, forging a personal information file is not a problem.
Of course, this forged file is by no means seamless and perfect, but at least for half a month, the other party will not be able to see any loopholes.
When the other party noticed something was wrong or planned to collect the money
Song Shi smiled.
Just sitting in the car like this, half an hour later, Song Shi suddenly spoke.
"Change the destination, go to this address now."
A gentle voice immediately sounded in the car.
"Dear customer, according to our company's service regulations, if you temporarily change your itinerary, you need to pay an additional 25% of the travel cost."
"Yes."
"Please pay now."
".No problem."
With the confirmation of the payment interface, the voice of the in-car service intelligence immediately jumped for joy and said happily:
" Please fasten your seat belt, the journey will begin soon!”
After another half an hour, Song Shi stepped out of the unmanned taxi.
He looked at the location on the map and then looked at the alley ahead.
"Let's see, "Kakadan" Prosthetic Clinic"
