Let's take a look then.
Silver Membership: Monthly fee €500, annual subscription €5500.
Normally, rescue will arrive within 10 minutes; otherwise, a 50% discount on ammunition and fuel will be offered to the customer. Customers can choose to undergo surgery on the hovercraft; the cost is roughly the same as in a regular hospital. Alternatively, they can be transported to a designated medical facility.
Gold Membership: €1000 per month, €11000 per year (discounted).
We strictly adhere to a 7-minute response time limit; refunds will be issued if this is exceeded. Customers can receive free surgery on the hovercraft and will be quickly transported to a nearby authorized hospital or your designated medical facility.
Platinum Membership: Monthly fee of 2000 euros, monthly payment is not accepted, and each payment must be made in advance for a minimum of six months.
We promise a response within 3-5 minutes; in fact, Apple's average response time is less than 3 minutes.
Throughout the rescue process, we will clear away any people or objects that pose a threat to your life and quickly transport you to the best hospital for rehabilitation treatment.
This premium package also includes 24/7 monitoring, emergency patient transport, nano-surgery, and post-operative recovery services.
The descriptions of the three packages differ drastically in length. Undoubtedly, the trauma group strongly recommends the Platinum membership, but most ordinary people with tight budgets will probably only buy the Silver membership.
Leo rested his chin on his hand and looked back at the details.
Sure enough, this revealed even more charges, such as compensation for equipment damage and injuries or fatalities of paramedics, which are general charges not included in the membership package.
Basically, once you start calling a trauma team, you have to keep paying. Receiving a single rescue will cost you at least several hundred euros.
"That's really expensive... I'll just take the platinum membership, the kind that costs six months' rent."
[Pure White, is the contact person they provided reliable?]
Yes, according to online research, this person is a senior business manager at the Night City branch of the Trauma Team.
Okay, then... um, let's do it together when V gets back.
V is now a young girl, so to ensure she doesn't die young, we should buy her an insurance policy.
Leo read the entire text carefully several more times to confirm that they were simply charging high prices and there were no other deceptive clauses.
And you know what? The more I look at it, the more it resembles old-fashioned US health insurance...
After waiting for a while, the elevator made a ding sound.
V returned carrying large and small bags.
She nodded to Leo and moved all her things into her own place.
Leo felt she might need some privacy, so he didn't disturb her.
After a while, V came over with a can of drink in his hand, drinking as he went: "I'm almost done here, is there anything you need?"
Leo pushed off the ground with both feet, sliding his computer chair back a meter, then turned to look at the computer screen: "I just received a promotional email from a trauma group, and I'm thinking of subscribing to a membership package. Have you subscribed to one?"
V leaned closer to the screen and glanced at it: "The email is fine, it's legitimate. As for your question... do I look like a company employee to you?"
Leo glanced sideways: "Surely not, mercenaries should have a high demand for trauma teams, right?"
"It's high-end, but too expensive. Generally, mercenary teams with some savings and a stable workforce will pool their money to buy a membership, and call in the trauma team when needed."
Those people are fairly trustworthy. Even if they find out the injured person isn't a member, they'll still help bandage them up, and if the injured person is willing to pay, they can even help take them to a medical center.
As for the Lone Wolf…
v hesitated for a moment,
"The person who makes the mistake is basically gone. If they can escape on their own, a familiar black market doctor will be cheaper."
Leo understood; to put it bluntly, it all came down to being poor.
"That's perfect, I'll buy one for you too."
"what!?"
"Just consider it a company benefit. I saw Kangtao's recruitment ad—you get a gold membership upon joining, and after 40 years of service, you can upgrade to a platinum membership."
"You said it yourself, it's Kangtao. An ordinary company and a super-large company are completely different things..."
Ignoring V's words, Leo immediately dialed the business manager's number.
"Buzz—Buzz—"
The feeling of making a phone call in your head is so wonderful.
A contact's avatar appeared in the upper left corner of the field of vision—the background was the trauma group's logo, and the contact's full name and job information were also displayed below.
After only a few seconds, the contact's profile picture lit up. It was a middle-aged man in a suit who looked very professional.
"Hello, Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio, welcome to the Night City chapter of the Trauma Team. How may I help you?"
Leo used the default settings and nodded politely: "Hello, I would like to purchase a membership to the trauma group."
“A wise choice, Mr. Leonardo!” The business manager’s smile immediately spread across his face. “Would you like me to repeat the services offered at each membership level?”
"No need, I've already looked into it. I want to apply for a Platinum membership and a Gold membership. How do I do that?"
"Platinum membership...an excellent choice, befitting your elite status!"
If you confirm your Platinum membership, our hovercraft will immediately travel to your location to process your membership card. This will allow you to witness firsthand our high efficiency and professional staff, and we are committed to doing everything in our power to ensure your safety in the future!
"Platinum member... awesome."
V's soft muttering came from the side.
Leo nodded again: "I confirm, I'm currently in my apartment in the Haywood Canyon area. Send someone over."
"Understood. Please wait a moment. We will be there in 3 minutes. Please open your balcony and the hovercar will park directly outside your apartment."
"very good."
Leo hung up the phone and exclaimed to V beside him, "That's incredibly efficient! They even sent a hovercar to deliver it."
"That's right, after all, we're here to collect money, and we don't have to take any risks. Just you watch, it won't even take three minutes."
Nobody: Chapter Thirty-Six: Shock! V Zhentian's Real Name Exposed!
V is correct.
Within two minutes, the distinctive roar of a jet engine could be heard outside the window.
[Boarding now, proceed with caution! Security procedures initiated. All team members, lower your weapons, do not disturb the customer.]
When Leo led V to open the balcony door, the members of the trauma team had already set up the floating ladder and were lined up neatly on the balcony.
The Atlas hovercraft, manufactured by Zeta Technologies, hovers stably in the air, with blue flames shooting from the bottom of the vehicle injecting a touch of heat into the air.
The strong gust of air blowing in his face messed up Leo's hair, making him awkwardly raise his hand to shield his cheek.
The hovercraft driver immediately lowered the altitude to reduce airflow, demonstrating meticulous service.
Seeing the two approach, the medical staff leading the team quickly walked over: "Hello, are you Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio?"
Leo nodded.
"Thank you for choosing the Trauma Team's medical insurance. We will do everything we can to protect your life! As part of the process, we need to verify your identity information and perform a simple scan of your implant."
Please rest assured that we only scan the implant model and collect your real-time health data, ensuring that your privacy is not violated.
After saying that, he raised the portable medical device in his hand, and another team member took out the data cable from the device, indicating to Leo to connect the bio-signal.
[Father, the test is passed, you are safe.]
After a few seconds, upon hearing Chunbai's response, Leo plugged the data cable into the bio-monitoring port behind his right ear.
The medical staff member holding the equipment looked at the data and said enthusiastically:
"Based on the data from biomonitoring, your physical condition is good."
The brain-computer interface was just installed, and there is mild inflammation and rejection reaction, which is normal. All vital signs are within the healthy range.
"We detected that you have taken a stimulant and painkiller... The dosage is appropriate, and you have a reliable prosthetic doctor."
The test lasted several minutes.
"Very good, we have fully confirmed your physical condition and entered it into the medical system. By the way, I am the chief EMT of this team, that is, an emergency medical technician. I am a professional and certified, so please rest assured."
"Thank you for your cooperation. We can now officially sign the contract."
Leo received an online message containing a pre-filled medical insurance contract. He only needed to select a package and pay to activate his membership service.
Needless to say, he directly chose the Platinum Package and paid for six months at a time.
[You are transferring funds to the trauma group... A formal contract has been verified, effective immediately, with an automatic payment of €12000.]
The payment was made in the blink of an eye; he didn't even need to confirm before the money was deducted.
It's like they're robbing us...
When the chief EMT received the payment confirmation, his barely concealed joy was palpable, even through his fully enclosed helmet.
"Contract complete. Please accept your Platinum Membership Card. This card is linked to your identity and is only needed for tax filing and a few special circumstances. Please keep it safe in a secure place."
Leo took the shiny, high-end membership card.
After checking it over, he put the membership card away and casually pointed to V next to him: "This is my... employee, she wants to apply for a gold membership."
"Okay, please verify your personal information, miss..."
We went through the process again, and this time there was a small problem.
"Ms. Vivian, there is nothing wrong with your body, but most of the implants are outdated models, and we recommend that you replace them as soon as possible. In addition, your pain editor settings are too low, which can easily cause unnecessary risks."
V tossed her hair in frustration: "Never mind that, I have my own reasons."
"Then there is another problem—our database does not contain information such as your occupation and income. According to regulations, unless you have collateral such as real estate, we cannot provide you with gold membership services."
Seeing V's furrowed brow, Leo stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Can't you buy services by paying money?"
"That's right, Mr. Leonardo. Company policy requires us to assess a client's ability to pay. If there's a high probability of default or inability to afford medical expenses, we cannot provide services at the Silver Member level or higher. Of course, there are ways to circumvent these regulations."
"for example?"
"If you are willing to act as Ms. V's guarantor and have the payment deducted directly from your account, then we can provide Ms. V with gold membership services."
"That's strange, don't I also have no job and no income?"
"You... well, according to data provided by the information department, your personal account has incurred expenditures exceeding 10 euros in a short period of time, making you one of our most valued high-net-worth clients. Of course, we have not inquired about the specific destinations or details; it is entirely legal."
"Fine……"
Leo hates the feeling of his personal privacy being monitored, but that's just how 2077 is; big corporations don't even spare his bank account...
Ultimately, he still got V a gold membership and signed a one-year automatic payment contract. An initial payment of 2000 euros was mandatory.
Once everything was complete, the entire trauma team saluted them and skillfully withdrew the hovercar.
Dear customer, wishing you good health and a happy life!
The airship quickly rose into the air and disappeared into the gray sky.
"That's it?" Leo took V's gold membership card and compared the two cards side by side. "In just ten minutes, they robbed me of fourteen thousand euros..."
V, arms crossed, quipped, "Do you think the trauma team became a super company? There are many other fees besides the membership package. Getting them to save someone once doesn't come cheap."
However, as you can see, it's the same hovercar used by the NCPD, and the four people who got off were fully armed, using smart rifles and submachine guns.
Not counting the driver, there was at least a co-driver/gunner and two security personnel on board. Add to that the two heavy machine guns, and let's just say they were better fighters than the average cop!
Seeing V's animated expression, Leo raised an eyebrow: "You seem to know them quite well. What, have you fought against them?"
V raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and turned to walk inside: "No, I can't beat them, but I saw them clash with the cleaners, force their way in, and steal the client. Pretty impressive!"
Leo nodded. It's good to be a little more impressive. He's a platinum member now, and according to Jack, even losing a hair can attract the trauma team.
After a moment of distraction, he quickly caught up with V, an uncontrollable smile spreading across his face: "Wait a minute, don't forget your membership card—Miss Vivian!"
V stopped walking, and her whole body seemed to stiffen.
Nobody: Chapter Thirty-Seven V: I have a feeling someone is plotting against me...
Call me V!
“Okay, Vivian. I’ll call you V when there are other people around, or you can call me L, but this is at home.”
"I said—call me V!"
His unwavering back exuded a terrifying aura, but Leo remained completely unfazed: "Look at you, so impatient. I think Vivian is a pretty name!"
