The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"Military grade?"

Lin Qiao looked Man Yin up and down.

Most of his body has been transformed into combat prostheses, and the hard subcutaneous armor is impenetrable by ordinary bullets.

The only consequence is that while the combat capability is much stronger than others, the burden on the body is also extremely heavy.

After all, not everyone is V Zhentian.

If there was another military-grade Swanwestin...

"Let me ask you first, have you had any symptoms like hand tremors, loss of muscle control, or tinnitus recently?"

"No."

Man Yin shook his head decisively. After so many years in the industry, he probably knew the purpose of Lin Qiao's questions.

"You don't suspect me of cyberpsychosis, do you?"

"No, I'm just reminding you in advance based on the principle of a benevolent doctor. After all, the burden that military-grade Sian Westin puts on the body is not comparable to other prostheses."

"I know that."

Main said in a deep voice that Dolio had already discussed this with him, but the reward for this order was too generous... Although that bastard Faraday was unwilling to reveal the content of the commission in advance, it was quite annoying.

Besides, at his current stage, it is unrealistic to downgrade his prosthesis.

There are too many enemies on the road. Although the commissions given by the middlemen pay well, they are also very dangerous. If the prosthesis is downgraded at this time, it is simply seeking death.

What's more, as long as he completes this order, he will be a big step closer to his dream.

——Like most dreamers who come to Night City, he wants to become a legend.

"Anyway, just tell me whether you have it or not, right?"

Man Yin scratched his head in annoyance.

Lin Qiao is the prosthetic doctor with the most extensive resources he knows. If even he can't get one, then the next commission will be difficult to handle.

"Not at the moment. That thing is not a graphics card. Normally, no one can afford it. Who would hoard it?"

"…Any prosthetic doctor would know how to do that…"

Maine and Rebecca were speechless. After all, it was not an exaggeration to describe military-grade items as being in short supply.

——This is not the situation in the game where orange equipment is everywhere.

In reality, whether you can get an orange item depends entirely on your luck.

However, although he really wanted to complain, it also indirectly reflected that Lin Qiao did have a way to get military-grade stuff.

——And it’s the kind that can be obtained at any time.

"In that case, how long will it take for the goods to arrive?"

"In two weeks."

"Isn't it next month? My commission is a bit urgent, can't it be faster?"

"Then just one week." After all, we've already opened this week, and we really don't want to open it a second time.

"That's not a problem...how much is it?"

"The full amount is 30 euros."

"It's so expensive!" Rebecca couldn't help but exclaim.

Before coming, they had already inquired about the price of military-grade Swansea.

Although this thing has a high price but is not in demand, it still has to fluctuate within a reasonable range. Otherwise, it will be too outrageous and no one will be able to afford it.

But right now...

"You're already almost half the price of other places, right? You're overcharging your customers!"

Rebecca poked Lin Qiao with her eyes, trying to pierce the face of this black-hearted businessman.

But Lin Qiao shook her head, pinched her face with two fingers, and then gently pulled it upwards.

"It hurts! Let go!"

"Your mouth will rot if you talk nonsense."

As Lin Qiao suddenly let go, Rebecca stepped back a few steps cautiously, rubbing her still aching face, and bared her teeth fiercely in the direction of Lin Qiao.

But the latter obviously didn't care much about this Chihuahua who made a lot of noise but did little.

Lin Qiao looked at Manyin.

"Don't accuse me of blackmailing you. I can guarantee that the products here are first-hand products, the quality is also guaranteed, and the surgery and installation fees are also covered. Can others do that?"

"..."

Well, this definitely won’t work.

In fact, most of the military-grade prostheses obtained by prosthetic doctors have been passed on several times.

Second-hand goods are basically newly produced, and third-hand goods are 80% new...that's about it.

Not to mention whether the prosthesis will be infected with the previous owner's strange disease after installation, the quality of the prosthesis itself is also uneven.

But even so, this price is too much beyond the budget...

Man Yin had a mercenary smile on his face. He rubbed his hands and moved closer to Lin Qiao, trying to treat her as a brother.

"Since we've known each other for such a long time, can't you give it a little discount, K?"

“It’s already the cost price.”

"I know, I know. That's what everyone says before they lower their prices."

"..."

Under Man Yin's shameless bargaining, Lin Qiao, who was too lazy to argue with him, still reduced the price by 50,000.

Anyway, with Saburo Arasaka as a tool, he only needs to take one line from Arasaka's production line. He doesn't have to spend a penny and it's pure profit.

But even so, the price still made Mainin and others hesitant.

"Forget it. There's still a week left anyway. You can think about it again. I'll get the things back first."

Anyway, even if Mainin and the others don't want it, he can still give it to the priest, so he won't lose out anyway.

"Oh, by the way, there's this."

He took out a dozen bottles of medicine from the cold container, put them into a bag, and then handed it to Maine.

"This is the immunosuppressant for next month. Just take it with you if you are here."

"Thank you."

He nodded, and then transferred the corresponding amount of money to Lin Qiao's electronic account, which also included the cost of Rebecca's previous surgery.

"Manin, as a friend, I'll give you another reminder—"

Just as the two were walking out of the clinic, Lin Qiao's unhurried voice sounded from behind.

"Although it may sound unlucky, when you want to make one last deal or have the idea of ​​stopping after this deal, it's best to stop immediately."

“Sometimes, quitting while you’re ahead is not a sign of cowardice.”

Chapter 333 The Last Two Years

Lin Qiao had no idea whether Man Yin had listened to her warning in the end.

But as an outsider, he has fulfilled his responsibility to remind the person, and the rest depends on the person's own choice.

The door of the clinic closed again, and with a "click", the automatic sensor door was locked.

The clinic was closed again.

After Man Yin and Rebecca left, some changes occurred in Lin Qiao's body.

The surface of the body turned into some kind of blue gel-like substance, and after a slight wriggling and reorganization, it changed back.

However, all traces of the original prosthetic modifications on the body have completely disappeared.

In this era, unless they are some religious figures such as monks, most people have undergone prosthetic modification.

In other words, it would be too obvious if it wasn't reformed.

Lin Qiao had no objection to this.

He is not a native materialist, but a typical pragmatist. As long as it is useful, it doesn't hurt to make some slight changes.

But considering his physical strength, even large-scale cutting equipment may not be able to break through the blocking field on the surface of his body, so he can only use mimicry.

Fortunately, in the past few years, as his level of evolution has increased, his mimicry ability has become more and more handy.

Slowly walk up to the second floor, here is the kitchen.

——Just like in the world of "Black Bullet", this whole building belongs to him.

After mixing rice and water in a certain proportion, pouring it into the rice cooker and setting the timer, Lin Qiao walked back to her room.

But just as he entered the room, he paused for a moment at the door, sighed, and then walked in.

The room is a little messy...

It can’t be said to be messy, it just looks a bit cluttered because there are too many things.

But on the bed, there was another figure lying.

——It’s Lucy.

Compared to Rebecca, who has not changed at all over the years, the latter's slender and curvy figure makes him jealous to the point of being unrecognizable.

Obviously, everyone was a flat loli back then, but in the end... damn, why! ?

Lying on the bed naked, with only a thin quilt covering him.

And from the body exposed outside the quilt, the traces of her prosthetic modification have disappeared, and her original short hair has grown a lot longer.

The light from a cell phone shone on her face...but it was Lin Qiao's cell phone.

After all, in this era, no one would use old products like mobile phones.

"Have you finished talking with Man Yin and the others?"

"Um, sorry, the chat was a bit loud and I accidentally woke you up."

"No, it has nothing to do with that... I just couldn't sleep without someone around me."

Pulling the quilt up, Lucy turned over and continued to slide her fingers on Lin Qiao's mobile phone.

However, in response to her somewhat ambiguous statement, Lin Qiao helplessly spread her hands:

"That's what you said when you performed surgery on Sasha a few years ago, right? The psychological trauma has lasted too long."

After performing surgery on Sasha, the sight of blood and internal organs kept me awake at night, so I could only come to see Lin Qiao at night...

Then it became a habit and it has continued to this day.

And when she sleeps, she is the type who wears no clothes - it was okay when she was little, but it became a bit torturous as she grew up.

That's assuming he has feelings.

The next second, the Build phone in Lucy's hand flew out, slowly floated into the air, and then flew towards Lin Qiao.

"mean."

"Your answer shouldn't be 'stingy' at a time like this, right? Didn't I tell you that boys' phones shouldn't be touched?"

"What does it matter? There's nothing shameful in there anyway."

"If there is, I won't let you see it."

"Definitely next time."

In fact, the only things in Lin Qiao’s phone were photos of him and other people.
