Chapter 228 - 210: Two-Hour Optimization of the Second-Hand Pile of Crap

It took a whole day for the nano surgical table to be set up, and nothing else happened.

The thing wasn’t too large or too small, standing about 1.2 meters high and equally wide, but it was quite power-consuming.

Nanobots would charge through the operating table and then be programmed. Using a specially designed disposable guide, they would be introduced into the body, remodel it, and then be retrieved.

It was also quite advanced surgical equipment and rather complex to operate, but Old V had experience with cyber surgical tables, so he got the hang of it quickly.

Of course, a safety check was needed before using it.

[Interface protocol group: Crow Central Control]

[Driver version: BioNexusLab Ver.XXXXX]

[Start self-check]

[Self-check in progress...]

Lille raised an eyebrow when he saw the interface protocol group: "Old V, this is using Vortex Gang settings?"

Old V nodded: "This controlled surgical equipment can only be bought from the Vortex Gang. They have many channels, and they’re quite reliable in business. I’ve checked it, and there are no issues.

But compared to the original software group drivers, it’s definitely not as smooth. We’ll make do."

"Make do?" Lille shook his head. "How can we make do with this stuff?"

"But they’re already the best at this in the city. To go any higher, we’d have to look for a company."

"Not necessarily. Let me optimize it for you."

Vortex Gang? What a joke. Are they better than Marvel’s elite research team?

Saying this, he packaged the structure, manual, and software information of the nano surgical table and sent it all to Marvel’s Biological Laboratory.

[Biological Laboratory Temporary Project Started: Technology Reversal and Optimization]

[Difficulty: Low]

[Researchers: Professor Connor, Dr. Otto]

[Assistant Researcher: Peter Parker]

[Project Advantage: All researchers are proficient in the involved projects, greatly improving efficiency and effectiveness.]

[Estimated Completion Time: 3 hours in this world.]

[Your involvement will enhance efficiency.]

Old V stared suspiciously at Lille, his eyes continually darting between the few T-shirts he was wearing.

This time... there was nowhere to hide anything. Where was he going to pull out miraculous upgrade chips from?

However, Lille didn’t pull out anything this time. Instead, he focused and began modifying the underlying drivers.

This sight made Old V extremely nervous: whether it was a tech expert or a prosthetics doctor, they were more akin to engineers rather than developers.

They could use tools well, even make simple improvements.

But directly optimizing and changing tools from the ground up?

That sounded like something only a company’s R&D department would do. One wrong move, and this several hundred thousand Worth surgical table could be bricked!

In his view, Lille was too daring. This surgical table wasn’t just used by an individual; its software and hardware structure were incredibly complex!

However, what Old V feared didn’t happen—not even when Lille began directly prying at the circuits:

Lille sat in the chair for half an hour, then directly started disassembling the circuitry!

[Project Completed]

[Technology Points +100]

[Current Technology Points: 3400]

[New Equipment Manufacturing Specification Added to Laboratory: Nano Surgical Table]

[Description: The nano surgical table, in conjunction with nanobots, will grant doctors the ability to perform medical and prosthetic implantation procedures at the nano scale.

However, the precision and functionality of the nanobots themselves remain crucial for the surgery.]

[System loading...]

[Standby Nano Robot Model: BioNexus Injection-type Nanobot]

[This model of nanobot is equipped with nano-scale injection components, suitable for modifying and adjusting amorphous biological components.]

[Warning: Nano-scale surgeries carry high risks; non-professionals should not use the nano surgical table.]

[Nanobots are ready.]

Two worlds, four people, spent two hours to complete the optimization.

Nano surgical robots weren’t something so advanced that they couldn’t be understood. Dr. Otto’s octopus arm linkage module also included such components.

After all, this wasn’t magic nano-materials like Iron Man’s.

Lille withdrew his personal link, patted the machine, and said to Old V: "Come on, Old V, take a look."

Old V stiffly looked at Jack and V beside him who were both calm, feeling increasingly absurd:

Huh? Huh? Huh?

Was he being overly dramatic?

No, it was definitely these two guys who were too dazed.

Old V skeptically connected his personal link.

In his prosthetic eye, data flowed and his eyes and mouth slowly opened wide—

A more concise UI, clearer instructions, and removing bug prompts that none of the previous owners of this machine had understood made it look like a surgical component that had just come out of the company’s lab.

If the previous nano surgical component was a rusty but necessary sharp surgical knife—usable but with potential tetanus lurking in its rust—

Now, the nano surgical component was like a high-tech shining laser scalpel, emitting high-tech vibes at a glance, simple and efficient, but... so advanced that it made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Was this kind of equipment meant for Haywood’s clinic?

It seemed like only a month ago, Lille had just passed his exam and gotten his license...

"One at a time—Jack, you first!"

Lille waved his hand and Jack obediently lay down: "Lille, can I get a body sculpting this time as well? My tattoos seem to have gotten deformed..."

"Let Old V do that. I’m not good at it." Lille said as he motioned to Old V again, "Old V, what are you dazing about?"

"I..." Old V thought for a moment and then sighed.

He never thought he’d have a day of envying a silly boy.

Silly and carefree, with nothing to worry about.

"I’m coming, I’m coming. Looks like I need to hide this thing better."

"It’s okay, I bypassed the digital signature. The software still has the Vortex Gang’s name on it. If they want to find someone, they’ll look for them."

"You’re pretty humble, resisting the urge to add your name."

Old V sat down next to the surgical table and pulled over the nanobot guide.

Lille connected his prosthetic eye to the surgical system: "Am I not always humble?"

"Can’t argue with that..."

Anesthetic injected, the two of them cut open Jack’s skin, removed the deformed subdermal armor, and located the entry point for the guide in the muscle tissue.

The nanobots carried bio-plastic, cell adaptation coatings, and molecular sieves. They entered the specified points through the guide, adhered to Jack’s circulatory system as directed by the bio-signal indicator.

First came the bio-plastic, then cell adaptation, and finally the molecular sieve—

The first street kid in Haywood to enjoy such a luxurious modification surgery: minimal augmentation percentage, maximum physical capability enhancement.

[Lizard Rampage Component Upgrade Completed]

[Technology Points Rewarded +100]

[Current Technology Points: 3500]

[Lizard Rampage Component Type 2]

[Description: Fully upgraded internal circulation system, the integration of the lizard potion will be monitored throughout, offering greater controllability and more powerful strength.]

Next, it was joint replacements and muscle fillings, following which the cyber surgical table was used to weld the subdermal armor onto Jack’s skull, shoulders, torso, and legs...

Now, Jack was a true humanoid tank.

[Subdermal Armor: Military Technology Enforcer Type 5]

[Description: Composed of ceramic, fiber, and alloy composite materials, with excellent hardness, issued to elite machine gunners during the Unified War.]

[The only downside is it solely fits the top-tier big guys—the native ones; big guys with prosthetic modifications fitting this armor risk inducing cyberpsychosis.]

[Fire-Resistant Coating Applied]

[Synthetic Skin Material Attached.]

[Prosthetic Surgery Completed.]

Lizard potion storage tanks were distributed in Jack’s legs, hidden beneath the armor. Once everything was completed, Lille activated the rampage component—

The power was set to one thousandth, to maintain Jack’s altered biological tissues and organs, secreting enough chlorobilin to regulate immune response.

[Surgical Target Cyber Prosthetic/Overall Weight Ratio: 66.3kg/177.4kg]

[Surgical Target Cyber Prosthetic/Overall Volume Ratio: 27.67%]

[Surgical Target Cyber Prosthetic/Overall Organic Occupancy Ratio: 33.3%]

[Immune and Inflammatory Response: Weak, no need for additional immunosuppressants]

[Target Brainwave Activity Assessment: Stable]

[Note: Incredible prosthetic adaptability, contact local companies to develop target potential, you will be rewarded...]

Lille raised an eyebrow: His research team seemed to have low awareness of this UI, even missing the prompts.

But it’s just a prompt; the body data wouldn’t be transmitted to their server as intended by the company.

The anesthesia wore off; Jack opened his eyes, placed his hand under the light, and clenched it.

"...Feels... good, but doesn’t seem much different."

Old V clicked his tongue in wonder: "You kid... stay that way."

This modification, if bought with money...

No, even with money, mercenaries without giant corporate backing would never enjoy this.

Jack got off the surgical table and moved around without any discomfort, then trotted towards Misty’s fortune-telling house.

V beside him rubbed his hands excitedly: "My turn!"
