Chapter 15 Good Wishes
Gill Lee's examination of the sturdy man took only two minutes to finish.
"It's hopeless, get a new one."
"The auxiliary chip and the neuron connection unit are damaged and can't be repaired. Unless you can afford the space-time particles, but judging by the value of the space-time particles, it's better to get a new one."
The sturdy man grinned, and it was obvious that replacing a whole mechanical arm was a huge sum of money that he couldn't afford.
He cautiously tried to probe: "Why don't you just repair it and make it work. I'll use it for two more days and try to make some money."
The prosthetic doctor glanced at him: "Don't you know the rules here?"
"Either don't repair it, or fix it well!"
"I don't feel like spending so much effort to repair a mechanical arm that will be scrapped sooner or later."
"Pay the medical fee and get out of here. Find a way to make money yourself, or find a usable mechanical arm yourself."
The sturdy man obviously knew the rules here. The reason why he asked knowingly was just to hope that the prosthetic doctor would be kind enough to make an exception.
But after seeing Jill Lee's impatient tone, he quickly turned over from the operating table, swiped his face on the payment device next to him, paid the medical fee, and left in disgrace.
Chen She motioned Zhou Lei to come over.
The hot prosthetic doctor looked at Chen She and Zhang Sirui for a few more times, and then diagnosed Zhou Lei as usual.
Chen She couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Good guy, he looks only 24 or 25 years old, how can he have such a hot temper as if he has entered menopause."
"Perfect figure, good looks, everything is good, but it's a pity that he has a big mouth."
"Although Jill is indeed big, it's more appropriate to call you Aunt Li."
"Put on an armband, you can directly become a neighborhood committee aunt."
Of course, Chen She just thought about it in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Aunt Li also completed the diagnosis of Zhou Lei quickly, which took less than a minute.
"Your situation is similar to that of the previous one. Both of you have some damage to the auxiliary chip, which should be left over from before. However, your mechanical arm is more advanced, and the problem can be solved by replacing the auxiliary chip."
"Or you can consider using it for now, and then deal with it when it is more damaged."
For the damage to the auxiliary chip, the prosthetic doctor cannot repair it, and can only replace it.
Just like Chen She repaired mobile phones in his previous life, he could not repair mobile phone chips.
Zhou Lei hurriedly said: "Then I'd better not repair it!"
Aunt Li nodded: "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 mechanical 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 it is not a fatal problem that will affect the battle, it can be used.
Replacing the auxiliary chip for a slight problem is generally unaffordable!
However, before Zhou Lei sat up from the operating table, Chen She pushed him back.
"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 is no need for that! This hand can still be used for now. When it is more damaged, we can just replace it with a new one."
Chen She immediately shook his head: "How can that be possible? Under no circumstances can we be lucky. An accidental failure may be the difference between life and death."
"For life or the victory of a battle, money is the least important thing."
"It's just an auxiliary chip. There is no need to be afraid of spending money."
"When our company has money in the future, we will replace all of you with the best robotic arms!"
As he spoke, he looked at Aunt Li: "Aunt, no, doctor, just replace the chip. I will pay for it."
Aunt Li looked at Chen She twice more, which made Chen She a little scared. He was also worried that he had let slip and called her aunt and made her angry.
But on second thought, aunt should also be a respectful title, right?
Aunt Li didn't say much, 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 very skillfully manipulate various probes, disassemble Zhou Lei's mechanical arm, take out a slightly charred chip about the size of the little finger cover, and replace it with a new chip.
The whole process was very complicated, because the mechanical prosthesis was a very delicate thing, but Aunt Li's hands were very steady, and it took less than 10 minutes to complete it.
"Okay, go check out."
Aunt Li looked outside and saw that there were no new patients coming in. Knowing that her work was temporarily over, she took out a cigarette from the pocket of her work jacket and lit it.
Chen She glanced at the bill.
The total cost of medical treatment, surgery and auxiliary chips was more than 40,000.
Chen She exclaimed.
These mechanical prostheses are indeed the world's most advanced equipment, and it is really expensive to repair them!
This is 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 of yuan.
Most people really can't afford it.
Zhang Sirui glanced at the bill and said, "The charges are quite conscientious. If it were a general prosthetic clinic, the price would be at least 20% higher."
Chen She was a little surprised. He thought that this was the price after Aunt Li asked for a high price, but he didn't expect it to be a friendly price.
Although it was a little expensive, Chen She not only didn't feel the pain, but felt very happy because he found a good way to spend money.
That is the armaments of the rebels!
Before, he was always afraid that making too much money would lead to the rebels buying a large number of arms, but now he realized that his thinking was a bit narrow.
He really couldn't make the armed forces of the rebels leap forward, but such minor repairs actually cost a lot of money.
It cost more than 40,000 yuan to repair Zhou Lei's mechanical prosthesis. If the mechanical prostheses of other rebels were also repaired to eliminate hidden dangers; or some smart guns with minor faults were eliminated and replaced with a batch of new ones, how much would it cost?
The key is that after the repair, the strength of the rebels did not improve significantly. It will not cause too much stimulation to their fighting will.
It is a consumption item with very weak perception.
Chen She felt that if there were some unexpected events in his plan later, resulting in a large backlog of funds, he could play this card and consume the funds to a certain extent. Zhao Zhen and the others did not have a good reason to object.
Zhou Lei moved his mechanical arm and said, "It seems...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 gift, free of charge."
She looked at Chen She again, puffing and said, "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 so kind and kind that she gave him the blessing of "losing all your money" when they met for the first time.
He asked, "Are you talking about the gangs?"
Aunt Li shook her head: "The guy 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 threat to you."
"But as a rich second-generation who lives a life of luxury, you can't survive in the neighborhood with this style of behavior. It's not that easy to make money from these poor guys by your own efforts."
"It's better to go to the inner city, use the power of your family to make money, and play by the rules of the rich. It will be easier for you."
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."
"I can only roughly see that her strength is not bad. She should be a mechanic or a mechanical mind master. The energy fluctuation is difficult to judge. I can only see that she is roughly above level three. If she wants, it will not be a problem to destroy all the gangs in the whole street."
"She doesn't seem to be hostile to us, and she has also actively released a certain degree of goodwill."
"But why would such a person stay in such a place as a prosthetic doctor?"
Chen She nodded slightly, which was basically consistent with his own judgment.
During this period, Chen She also specifically learned about the combat power system of this world, and took Zhang Sirui as a benchmark to roughly determine the strength of strong people of 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.
And Zhang Sirui guessed that Aunt Li was a mechanic, judging from Aunt Li's skillful movements when repairing the mechanical arm.
Since there are too many professions in this world, Chen She can't remember them one by one, so he only remembers a few common ones.
As for the division of combat power, it is done by energy fluctuation.
Generally speaking, those who reach level 7 energy fluctuation are already the top-level strongmen in this world, and they are the objects that all major chaebols are vying to win over.
Zhang Sirui's real energy fluctuation is level 5, which is already the top combat power in their resistance army.
When facing a general small army, although it is impossible to confront head-on, through certain tactical preparations in advance, it will not be a big problem to kill a corporate army of hundreds of people alone.
Of course, only when the strength is fully erupted can the corresponding detection equipment be used for detection. If the strength can be hidden at ordinary times, it will not be highlighted throughout the whole process, and it will attract attention wherever it goes.
But the strength can still be roughly judged by some physical characteristics.
Aunt Li should have judged it by Zhang Sirui's mechanical arm, because the higher the level of the mechanical arm, the price will increase exponentially, and it will be more difficult to use. So generally speaking, anyone who can control a high-level mechanical arm will not be weak.
Aunt Li also runs a prosthetic clinic, and she is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of various mechanical arms. Knowing that the mechanical arm used by Zhang Sirui is a model commonly used by sharpshooters, she was able to have a rough estimate of his strength.
But it was also because of Chen She's style of doing things and Zhang Sirui's strength that Aunt Li made a serious misjudgment of their actual situation.
Obviously, Chen She unintentionally left Aunt Li with the image of a rich second-generation who was completely ignorant of the sufferings of the world.
On the one hand, he has a high-level strong man like Zhang Sirui as a bodyguard, and on the other hand, he himself has not undergone any prosthetic transformation and seems to have basically no combat power.
The most critical point is that he has no particularly clear concept of money. Although he is willing to spend money to replace the auxiliary chip for his subordinates, he can show his care for his subordinates, but this kindness and care often exist in those upper-class young people who have not been beaten by society.
That's why Aunt Li thinks that Chen She can't open an experience store in such a place!
In Aunt Li's words, the people in this area are basically poor ghosts, and they are people who struggle to make a living at the bottom of society.
Chen She, a rich second-generation who is not familiar with the world, neither understands the preferences and demands of these people, nor has any awareness of cost control.
How can this experience store make money?
Chen She couldn't help but smile slightly. Although the known conditions obtained by Aunt Li were not correct at all, so that she made a completely wrong reasoning, the result she thought of in the end was exactly the same as Chen She expected.
