Cyberpunk:Gained a body of steel

Peter and the others continued to wait for more than ten minutes before receiving a message from Victor.

"V, how are you feeling now? Is anything uncomfortable?"

Although Victor had done his best to use painless anesthesia when installing the prosthetic body, he couldn't rule out the possibility of the body rejecting the new modifications.

"Well, I don't feel anything unusual," V responded.

"Okay, then you can try scanning the surroundings using the prosthetic eye of the Qilusi I installed," Victor instructed.

After Victor finished speaking, V began scanning the area.

Scanning... Kangtao computer, general electronic products...

Scanning... Victor, prosthetic doctor...

As long as the objects were scanned, V's system would display basic information about them.

"I'll go! Victor, you're really amazing," V couldn't help but praise Victor. This was the first time using such a convenient prosthetic body, and V was thoroughly impressed.

"Hehe, it's good that you're getting used to it," Victor replied, his voice calm and reassuring.

"Doctor Victor, your technique is so good, I can't even see any traces after installing the subcutaneous armor," V said, raising her arm and inspecting herself. There wasn't a single mark to indicate any transformation had been done.

"Hehe, if I didn't do a good job on you, I'd be doing a disservice to Jack for trusting me to bring you here," Victor chuckled. But to be honest, there were very few prosthetic doctors who could perform painless modifications and hide the evidence of the work.

For most other prosthetic doctors, if they offered such services, it would cost several thousand euros more. And in a city like Night City, there weren't many doctors who possessed these skills. If V had gone to someone like Brother Finger, she would have been lucky to leave with her valuables still intact.

Peter, remembering the anime "David" he had watched, noted that some transformations were extreme, like the complete reinvention of someone's body.

"V! Have you been remodeled? You don't have any marks on your body," Peter asked, walking up to V and looking her up and down. There was no difference from before.

"Por favor (please), Victor is one of the best prosthetic doctors in Night City. There are probably only a few in Arasaka Tower who can compare to him," Jack chimed in confidently.

"Don't flatter me, Jack. If you want a modification later, I won't be giving you a discount," Victor joked as he wiped the sweat from his brow, sitting back in his chair.

"V, now that you're ready, let's head to Whole Foods and talk to the boss of the Maelstrom Gang," Peter said, looking at the others.

The group decided to take the public light rail, while Jack chose to ride his prized ARCH motorcycle, worth 25 million euros.

"Hey, Peter, V, and uh..." Jack trailed off, suddenly uncertain.

"Lucy," Peter interjected.

"Ah, yes, Lucy, how do we get in now?" Jack asked.

Before Jack could finish speaking, Peter disappeared from view. Less than 20 seconds later, he reappeared.

"After taking a look, it seems the only way to break in is through the front."

As Peter spoke, he had already sent the layout of the area around the factory to Jack and the others.

In addition to the main entrance, there was also an underground passage, but Peter didn't trust the back entrance. Who knew if the Maelstrom Gang had cleaned those areas?

"Jack, V, you enter through the warehouse door below. Lucy, you'll provide support remotely outside. I'll go through the main entrance and have some fun with them," Peter outlined his plan. The others nodded in agreement and set off without hesitation.

When Peter walked up to the door of the Maelstrom Gang's territory, he ran into a guy with prosthetic eyes covering his entire head, looking more than a little unsettling.

"Who are you? Don't you know this is the Maelstrom Gang's territory?" the man asked.

"Who am I? I'm Peter!" Peter replied with a smirk.

Before the man could react, Peter grabbed him with one hand and slammed him into the rolling door of the Maelstrom Gang.

Boom!

A massive hole was smashed into the door, sending debris flying.

"Who's there?"

"Who dares to make trouble in our Maelstrom Gang's territory?!"

"Let me see which fool dares to act so recklessly here!"

The gang members, who had been playing cards inside the factory, immediately went on high alert upon hearing the door crash.

Peter walked confidently into the processing factory and immediately felt a sense of disgust. The place was filled with gang members who had undergone extreme body modifications. Some had mechanical legs, others had entire heads replaced with cybernetics, and some even had large holes in their chests, completely transformed into machines.

Peter couldn't understand what kind of taste these people had, but he had little time to dwell on it.

"Where is your boss? Hand him over," Peter demanded in his usual arrogant tone.

This immediately infuriated the Maelstrom Gang members present.

"Who do you think you are?" one shouted.

"How dare an unmodified bastard act so arrogant?!" another yelled.

In an instant, every gang member raised their weapons and began firing wildly.

Bullets whizzed through the air, smashing into the walls and the ground, kicking up clouds of dust and debris as they ricocheted.

Stop!

A guy with a mohawk, who seemed to be the leader, shouted for everyone to halt.

"Hmph, this is what happens when you mess with the Maelstrom Gang!" the mohawk guy sneered.

"Ha! I don't believe anyone can survive our firepower!" one of his underlings laughed.

Peter, however, was already standing on the ceiling beam, smirking.

A large data panel appeared in front of him, displaying the control systems of the prosthetic bodies of the Maelstrom Gang members.

"Then let's have some fun," Peter said with a wicked grin, tapping on the data panel as he prepared to disable the gang members' prosthetics one by one.
