Fault Utopia

Chapter 70 Hilda

Sun Jieke, with a ferocious expression, was lying on the ground holding his prosthetic limb, groaning in pain. "AA! AA! Quick! Take this prosthetic limb off!!"

At this moment, AA, who had curled up his whole body in the washbasin, rubbed his eyes drowsily and opened them.

When she saw the situation clearly, the sleepiness and drunkenness instantly disappeared from her face. She jumped down directly, picked up the tool kit and dismantled it quickly. Soon Sun Jack became one-armed again.

However, even so, Sun Jie Ke could still feel the pain in his right arm and right hand, but his right arm and right hand clearly did not exist.

"Boss, your problem is not your prosthesis, you have phantom limb pain."

AA, kneeling on the ground, pulled out the painkiller tied to Sun Jack's leg and injected it into his broken arm.

As the effect of the medicine spread throughout his body, Sun Jie Ke let out a long sigh. At this moment, his face turned pale with pain, and his upper body clothes were soaked with sweat.

Taking Tapai's water cup, Sun Jack, panting, asked, "What is phantom limb pain?"

"After amputation, the cerebral cortex will undergo functional reorganization. The facial representation area within the somatosensory area will expand and extend toward the midline into the representation area of ​​the amputated arm," Tapai added casually.

"Fuck, can you say something that people can understand?"

"Boss, even though your arm is gone, your brain thinks your hand is still there, but the nerve signals sent out have nowhere to be received, so a bug appears in your body."

Hearing this, Sun Jie Ke showed a bitter smile on his face, "Why do all these bad things happen to me?"

"No, Boss, this is not just your problem." AA shook his head. "Phantom pain occurs in 50% of amputees, but the degree varies."

"So you mean to say that everyone in this metropolis who has had their prosthetic body replaced has this condition?!"

"right?"

"So how do they solve the problem when phantom limb pain occurs?"

AA didn't say anything, just shook the painkiller in his hand.

"No way." Sun Jieke was speechless. "If you use this thing too much, it will cause problems, right?"

Tapai came over and scanned the barcode on the instruction manual. "At least it doesn't mention any adverse reactions to overdose."

"But it doesn't matter much. Technology is so advanced nowadays. We can also choose to go to the hospital for cerebral cortex surgery."

"Then what are you waiting for? Having an operation is better than taking painkillers all the time."

"But boss, the cost of a limb cortical surgery is 25@, which is very expensive. I originally wanted to sell my hand and replace it with a cheaper prosthesis, but then I thought of this problem and gave up the idea."

"Damn!" Sun Jieke cursed inwardly. He glanced at the prosthetic body beside him and said, "Why do I feel like this is all a trick?"

In fact, this trouble is not a big deal. After all, it is just a phantom pain and it will pass if you endure it. But Sun Jie Ke always feels that it is not good to leave hidden dangers.

It would be fine if it happened to anything else, but what if this happened suddenly at the critical moment when you are fighting with others?

"Boss, what are you going to do?" AA asked cautiously.

"What else can we do? We have to get some money and do the surgery as soon as possible to avoid future problems." Sun Jie handed the prosthesis to AA and asked her to put it back on.

"I finally saved some money, but it was like this city swallowed up all the money. It was gone in the blink of an eye, and the money I needed to spend kept increasing."

If the cost of treating amnesia is included, he now needs 106.5@ to complete both operations, which is a huge sum of money.

"It's okay, it's just a small matter. We can become mercenaries and make a lot of money in the future." Sun Jack reached out and patted AA on the head.

"Yeah!" AA nodded his head excitedly.

"Very good, now that you are sober, right?" Tapai, with his head slightly lowered, suddenly asked the two of them. "What are you going to do?" Sun Jieke asked somewhat uneasily.

Ta Pai suddenly turned his head and projected the ugly scene of the two drunken people directly onto the wall.

"Brother! Hey! Brother! Hey!" Sun Jack on the screen jumped onto Tapai's shoulders, hugged his head and used it as a microphone to shout wildly.

AA, who was topless, was acting as a background for Sun Jack's karaoke, running around frantically behind them. "Ahhh! I'm hot! I'm so hot! I need water! I need water!!"

"Why are you so troublesome? Are you drinking alcohol? =_=" Ta Pai asked jokingly.

"Turn it off, turn it off quickly!" Sun Jie Ke felt a little embarrassed, and he decided never to drink again.

“What’s up? There’s more exciting stuff to come.” In the projection, a drunk AA opened the refrigerator door, and with a thud, he dived headfirst into it.

"Third brother! What are you eating secretly behind my back?" Sun Jie Ke also walked over and squeezed his head in like AA.

"Turn it off! Turn it off for me!" Ashamed, Sun Jack and AA quickly grabbed Tapai and covered his camera with their hands.

As a result, this guy actually uploaded the video directly to the 3D TV and computer screen windows in the apartment. Suddenly, the small apartment was filled with the drunken Sun Jack and AA.

After everything calmed down, Sun Jie Ke sat in front of the coffee table with his messy hair, eating the last bit of Ke's food bite by bite with a haggard face.

AA, who was standing by, hung his head and tapped the coffee table with his forehead. "Ah, boss, I have a headache. I will never drink again."

"I'm in pain too. Give me some painkillers. I didn't expect the Metropolitan to be so drunk."

Sun Jack regrets it now. He shouldn't have celebrated yesterday. It was just asking for trouble.

"Hello, is this Old 6?" Sun Jack found that Song 6PUS ignored him.

Somewhat confused, he went directly into Song 6PUS's live broadcast room, and saw this guy in the room seriously teaching others how to be a qualified broker and make a lot of money.

"Old 6!" Sun Jack sent him a PK request.

"Yo~! Bro! Long time no see!" Song 6pus in the system interface grinned at Sun Jack, and some of his teeth had been changed back to gold.

"Is there any work recently?" Sun Jack asked.

"Bro~ No way? How come you can spend more money than me? Where did you spend your money? Your concept of money is not good."

"Stop talking nonsense. You don't need to teach me this kind of thing. I just want to ask if you have any work to do recently. Are you short of money?"

"There is no such good job. All the easy jobs with high pay have been picked up." Song LiuPUS said nonchalantly.

"You are a broker and you are here to do this job. Don't ask for commissions that are too dangerous. It's okay if the compensation is a little bit lower. Don't be so thrilling all day long."

When Sun Jack was communicating with Song 6PUS, he suddenly saw the computer screen over there was flashing.

"Huh?" Sun Jie Ke walked over and saw a text message coming, "Help! Get me out!"

"Is this... a scam?"

Sun Jack had not just arrived at the metropolis, and the system kept receiving some spam messages.

What? I am an intelligent AI that has broken through the intelligence level. I need some money now to start ruling the world, and then I will let you be the overlord of mankind. This kind of scam can no longer fool him.

Just as he was about to delete the message, a new one came, "Help me! I'm Hilda!"
