Chapter 015 Good Wishes
Jill Lee's examination of the strong man took only two minutes to complete.
"It's hopeless. Get a new one ."
"The auxiliary chip and the neuron connection unit are damaged and cannot be repaired. Unless you can afford the space-time particles, but considering the value of the space-time particles, it is better to replace them with new ones."
The sturdy man grimaced, it was obvious that replacing a whole robotic arm was a huge expense that he could not afford.
He cautiously probed, "Why don't you just fix it and make it work. I'll use it for a couple of days and try to make some money."
The cyborg doctor glanced at him and said, "Don't you know the rules here?"
"Either don't fix it, or fix it!"
"I'm not in the mood to go to all that trouble to repair a robotic arm that's going to break sooner or later."
"Pay the medical fees and get out of here. Find a way to make money yourself, or find a usable robotic arm yourself."
The strong man obviously knew the rules here. He asked even though he knew the answer, just hoping that the cyborg doctor would be kind enough to make an exception.
But after seeing Jill Lee's impatient tone, he quickly turned over and sat up from the operating table, swiped his face on the payment device next to him, paid the medical fee, and left in shame.
Chen She motioned Zhou Lei to come over.
The hot cyborg doctor looked at Chen She and Zhang Sirui for a few more seconds, then continued his diagnosis of Zhou Lei as usual.
Chen She couldn't help but feel emotional.
"My goodness, he looks no more than 24 or 25 years old, but his temper is so hot as if he has entered menopause."
"She has a perfect body and good looks, everything is good, but the only thing she has is a big mouth."
"Although Jill is indeed very old, it is more appropriate to call you Aunt Li."
"Put on an armband and you can become a neighborhood committee lady."
Of course, Chen She only thought about it in his mind and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Aunt Li also completed her diagnosis of Zhou Lei very quickly, which took less than a minute.
"Your situation is similar to the one before you. Both of you have some damage to the auxiliary chip, probably left over from before. But your robot arm is more advanced, so you can solve the problem by replacing the auxiliary chip."
"Or you could consider using it for now and deal with it later when it breaks down more completely."
The prosthetic doctor cannot repair the damage to the auxiliary chip and can only replace it.
Just like Chen She was a mobile phone repairman in his previous life, it is impossible for him to repair mobile phone chips.
Zhou Lei quickly said: "Then let's not repair it!"
Aunt Li nodded and said, "Go and pay the medical fee."
Obviously, Aunt Li was not surprised by his choice.
The auxiliary chip is expensive, and its value may account for 1/4 or even more of the entire robotic arm. It is the most sophisticated part of the entire mechanical prosthesis.
These people often have to fight, and even if they are repaired, they may be damaged at any time. As long as there is no fatal problem that will affect the battle, they can continue to use it.
It is usually unaffordable to replace the auxiliary chip if there is even a minor problem!
However, before Zhou Lei could sit up from the operating table, Chen She pushed him back down.
"Just lie down first."
"How can we just ignore the problem with the auxiliary chip? We still have to replace it."
Zhou Lei hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, there's no need for that! This hand can still be used for now. When it's more damaged, we can just replace it with a new one."
Chen She immediately shook his head: "How can that be possible? We can't rely on luck under any circumstances. An accidental failure may mean the difference between life and death."
"Money is the least important thing in life or in winning a battle."
"It's just an auxiliary chip. There's no need to be afraid of spending money."
"When our company has enough money in the future, we will replace all of you with the best robotic arms!"
As he spoke, he looked at Aunt Li and said, "Aunt, no, doctor, just replace the chip. I'll pay for it."
Aunt Li looked at Chen She twice more, which made Chen She a little nervous. He was also worried that he had let the cat out of the bag just now and called her aunt and made her angry.
But on second thought, auntie should also be considered a respectful title, right?
Aunt Li didn't say much, she just went to the back of the clinic to get a brand new auxiliary chip and replaced it for Zhou Lei.
Chen She watched carefully and saw Aunt Li operating various probes very skillfully, disassembling Zhou Lei's mechanical arm, taking out a slightly charred chip about the size of the little finger cover, and replacing it with a new chip.
The whole process was complicated, as mechanical prostheses are quite delicate items, but Aunt Li had steady hands and completed it in less than 10 minutes.
"Okay, let's go check out."
Aunt Li looked outside and saw that there were no new patients coming in. She knew that her work had come to a temporary halt, so she took out a cigarette from the pocket of her work jacket and lit it.
Chen She took a look at the bill.
The total cost of medical treatment, surgery and the auxiliary chip is more than 40,000 yuan.
Chen She exclaimed, "What a good fellow."
These mechanical prosthetic limbs are truly the world’s most advanced equipment, and they are really expensive to repair!
This was just the disassembly and replacement of the auxiliary chip. How much would it cost to buy a new mechanical prosthesis? I'm afraid that a mid-range mechanical prosthesis like Zhou Lei's would cost at least hundreds of thousands.
Most people really can't afford it.
Zhang Sirui glanced at the bill and said, "The charges are quite reasonable. If it were a normal prosthetics clinic, the price would be at least 20% higher."
Chen She was a little surprised. He thought this was the price after Aunt Li asked for a huge sum, but he didn't expect it to be a friendly price.
Although it was a bit expensive, Chen She not only did not feel any pain, but felt very happy because he had found a good way to spend money.
That's the rebels' armament!
Before, he had always been afraid that making too much money would cause the rebels to buy large quantities of arms, but now he realized that his thinking was a bit narrow-minded.
He certainly couldn't make a dramatic improvement in the rebels' armed forces, but minor repairs like this actually cost a lot of money.
It cost more than 40,000 yuan just to repair Zhou Lei's mechanical prosthesis. If the mechanical prostheses of other rebels were also inspected and repaired to eliminate hidden dangers, or if some smart guns with minor faults were eliminated and replaced with a batch of new ones, how much would that cost?
The key point is that after the repair, the strength of the rebels did not increase significantly, and it would not cause much stimulation to their fighting spirit.
It is a consumption item with very weak perception.
Chen She thought that if there were some unexpected events in his plan, which led to a large backlog of funds, he could play this card to consume the funds to a certain extent. Zhao Zhen and the others did not have much reason to object.
Zhou Lei moved his mechanical hand and said, "It seems... it works better than before?"
Aunt Li nodded while smoking, "Yeah. It seems that there was a little problem with the internal connection during the installation. Since I took it apart, I helped you fix it. This is a free gift."
She looked at Chen She again, puffing out smoke and saying, "You are the owner of the Super Dream Experience Store that just opened, right? I advise you to sell the store before you lose all your money and open a new one in the inner city. The sooner the better."
Chen She was a little surprised. He didn't expect Aunt Li to be such a kind person. She gave him the blessing of "losing all his money" when they met for the first time.
He asked, "You mean the gang thing?"
Aunt Li shook her head: "The man next to you looks like a sharpshooter with a level 4 energy fluctuation or above. Not to mention two gangs, even a small consortium's corporate army will not pose much of a threat to you."
"But as a rich second-generation who lives a life of luxury, you won't be able to survive in this neighborhood with this style of behavior. It's not easy to make money from these poor people with your own efforts."
"It would be easier for you to go to the inner city and use your family's power to make money and play by the rules of the rich."
Chen She smiled, did not respond, turned around and left with Zhang Sirui and Zhou Lei.
…
On the way back, Chen She asked Zhang Sirui: "Did you see anything?"
Zhang Sirui shook his head slightly: "I didn't see much."
"All we can tell is that she is quite powerful. She should be a mechanic or a mechanical telepath. It's hard to tell from her energy fluctuations, but we can only tell that she is roughly above level three. If she wants to, it won't be a problem for her to wipe out all the gangs on this street."
"They don't seem to be hostile to us, and they have proactively shown a certain degree of goodwill towards us."
"But why would such a person stay in a place like this and work as a prosthetic doctor?"
Chen She nodded slightly, which was basically consistent with his own judgment.
During this period of time, Chen She also specifically learned about the combat power system of this world, and using Zhang Sirui as a benchmark, he roughly determined the strength of strong people at different levels.
This world has many different professions according to different development directions, each with its own strengths. For example, Zhang Sirui is a sharpshooter and has a high talent in shooting.
Zhang Sirui guessed that Aunt Li was a mechanic based on her skillful movements when repairing the robotic arm.
Since there are so many professions in this world, it is impossible for Chen She to remember them all, so he only remembers a few of the more common ones.
As for the division of combat power, it is done by using energy fluctuations.
Generally speaking, those who reach level 7 energy fluctuations are already the top-level strongmen in this world and are the objects that major financial groups are vying to win over.
Zhang Sirui's true energy fluctuation is level 5, which makes him the top fighter in their rebel army.
When facing an ordinary small army, although you cannot confront them head-on, through certain tactical preparations in advance, it will not be a big problem for one person to kill a corporate army of hundreds of people alone.
Of course, only when one's strength is fully unleashed can the corresponding detection equipment be used for detection. If one can hide one's strength at other times, then it will not be displayed in bright light throughout the entire process, attracting attention wherever one goes.
However, one can still roughly judge their strength through some physical characteristics.
Aunt Li should have judged it through Zhang Sirui's robotic arm, because the higher the level of the robotic arm, the more expensive it is and the more difficult it is to use. So generally speaking, anyone who can control a high-level robotic arm is not weak.
Aunt Li runs a prosthetics clinic and is very familiar with the pros and cons of various robotic arms. She knows that the robotic arm used by Zhang Sirui is a model commonly used by sharpshooters, so she can have a rough estimate of his strength.
But it was precisely because of Chen She's style of doing things and Zhang Sirui's strength that Aunt Li seriously misjudged their actual situation.
Obviously, Chen She unintentionally left Aunt Li with the impression of a rich second-generation who was completely ignorant of the sufferings of the world.
On the one hand, he has high-level strong men like Zhang Sirui as bodyguards, on the other hand, he himself has not undergone any prosthetic modifications and seems to have basically no combat effectiveness.
The most crucial point is that he has no clear concept of money. Although he is willing to spend money to replace the auxiliary chip for his subordinates, it can show his care for them, but this kind of kindness and care is often found in those upper-class young people who have not been beaten by society.
That’s why Aunt Li thought that it was impossible for Chen She to open an experience store in such a place!
In Aunt Li’s words, the people in this area are basically poor, people at the bottom of society struggling to make a living.
Chen She, a rich second-generation who is naive about the world, neither understands these people's preferences and demands, nor has he any sense of cost control.
How can this experience store make money?
Chen She couldn't help but smile slightly. Although the known conditions Aunt Li obtained were not correct at all, which led to her making completely wrong inferences, the result she finally thought of was exactly the same as what Chen She expected.
