"Hello, I'm Alex Carter."
Facing the man before him, Alex extended his hand warmly.
"Victor Vector, just like them, you can call me Vic." Dr. Victor shook hands with Alex, a warm smile on his face.
"Thank you for saving these two reckless guys, Alex."
"It was just a little effort," Alex smiled.
He held great respect for Vic, the special prosthetic doctor who had been a tremendous help to the protagonist.
Without Vic, V wouldn't have survived the main quest at all.
There was even a storyline to repay the 21,000 euros debt, though it wasn't necessary to complete it.
It's fair to say Vic treated V like his own child.
In Night City, where betrayal and deceit were rampant, having a friend like Vic was a rare blessing.
"Vic, I need you to do me two small favors, and the price is negotiable," Alex said, getting straight to the point.
Victor nodded: "No problem, Alex, as long as it's within my capabilities."
...
"Boom..."
The human stick that was Smasher was carried by Alex and thrown onto the ground.
"Mmmph..."
Alex stuffed a large mass of some unknown material into his mouth, silencing his screams and curses.
Victor, V, and Jackie watched the scene in horror.
Even though Alex had briefed them in advance, seeing this "legend" reduced to a stick was shocking.
"Vic, can you help prolong this guy's life as much as possible? I have other uses for him."
Victor didn't answer Alex directly but squatted down to inspect Smasher's condition.
"Well, although the main exoskeleton is severely damaged, the internal structure and nervous system are still intact."
"However, the central circulation system seems to have been severely shaken, and a lot of electrolytes have been lost."
"What I can replace here are just some parts that can't hold up long; it'll maintain his life for two weeks at most."
Hearing Victor's assessment, Alex nodded with satisfaction.
"That's enough. But, by the way, Vic, the prosthetic body on this guy must be worth a lot, right?"
Victor nodded: "Indeed, although the circulatory, epidermal systems, bones, and limbs have been damaged to varying degrees."
"But other than that, the frontal cortex, nervous system, immune system, and main operating system should be fine."
"The components on Adam Smasher are undoubtedly some rare high-end goods on the market."
"Not bad..." Alex rubbed his chin, contemplating what to do with Smasher.
"Vic, can you replace his prosthetic body with some inferior products? It's a waste of good stuff on him, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Smasher whimpered again.
He realized now that this bizarre kid was just playing him in a different way!
As for V and Jackie, their eyes took on a playful look as they regarded Smasher.
It seemed... they could earn a bit more!
"No problem, but in this case, he may only have a week to live." Vic looked at Adam Smasher sympathetically.
The legend of Night City had ended up like this.
Who could have imagined?
Alex nodded with satisfaction: "No problem, a week is enough. Let's start now."
...
Two hours later, several compact yet extremely delicate chip prosthetics lay on Vic's operating table.
Limbic system enhancement in the frontal cortex, and visual cortical support.
Variant eye type 3 of the visual system.
Full-scale resistance of the immune system.
Kerenzikov of the nervous system, response coordinator.
And the military-tech Rampage 5 operating system.
Wow!
They were all legendary prosthetics!
No wonder Adam Smasher was the final boss of the entire game.
Watching the system feedback the item information, Alex secretly marveled.
As for Smasher, now replaced with subpar whiteboard prosthetics, he lay there lifelessly, eyes vacant.
"Okay, Alex, what are you going to do with these prosthetics?" Victor asked while wiping the electrolyte from his hands.
Alex smiled: "Wouldn't it be a waste not to install such good stuff?"
"Full-scale resistance, reaction coordinator, and Kerenzikov help me install them."
"Oh, and by the way, help me with a basic prosthetic transformation."
"It's kind of inconvenient to navigate Night City without personal connections, built-in communications, and nerve sockets."
"This is quite a project," Victor smiled wryly.
He had observed Alex's current state earlier.
A perfect natural person, at least from the outside, without any trace of transformation.
In this case, performing a basic transformation was a challenge, but fortunately, he had the experience of a surgeon.
Otherwise, ordinary practitioners wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
"Alex, are you sure?" V couldn't help but look at Alex.
Alex spread his hands indifferently: "I couldn't be more sure; otherwise, I can't keep asking you for help."
"Alex, please prepare first; this may take some time," Victor informed him as he began to prepare.
"By the way, have Misty from Jack's shop assist; I need a spotter."
"Okay, here we go."
"Alex, let me ask before the surgery, don't you want to install all the remaining prosthetics?"
Seeing Victor ask, Alex shook his head and said, "The others aren't of much use to me."
"When the time comes, let V and Jackie choose one, and the rest can be your reward."
A smile appeared in Vic's eyes.
"You are such a generous friend."
