"This could be... the troubles of a genius."
Looking at Mercer, Victor smiled wryly, "Just like you, if you don't add cooling to yourself, the more potential you unleash from your brain, the easier it is to burn out your own body."
V listened, her breathing deepened—was this sister really a super genius?
She instinctively glanced at Mercer. Until today, she herself didn't even know her potential could be so exaggerated, but Mercer...
How should I put it, he seemed to know my potential just from the first glance.
So according to this theory, people like Qiwei, and even that little girl Rebecca, could they also be geniuses among ordinary people?
His vision is so sharp, isn't it? How is it possible?
"Alright, V, if you don't have any questions to ask, let's prepare for the surgery." Victor turned his head, picked up the tablet on the table, and started preparing to talk business with Mercer.
Friends are friends, but business still needs to be done seriously.
"First, there's the prosthetic eye. Her eyes are too subpar; I suspect with her reaction speed, she might see afterimages when looking at some things, like dropped frames."
After Mercer finished speaking, V looked surprised: "How did you know? Uh, I do occasionally feel that when looking at particularly fast things, I see afterimages..."
"Because I'm smart." With just one sentence from Mercer, V was left speechless, turning her head in annoyance. She had a premonition that this intelligence bit of 6 would be a topic Mercer will harp on for a lifetime.
"Haha, so... what about this model from Qilu Company?" Victor knew Mercer was knowledgeable about prosthetics, so he discussed it with him first.
V also very much trusted Mercer but couldn't help sitting up to have a look, feeling a bit excited, wondering what good stuff Mercer would arrange for her.
"It's a bit ordinary. Is there no special model like the 'Oracle'?"
Mercer looked over Old Wei's list.
"No, those high-end models are usually unaffordable to anyone, and if I buy them, I would need special refrigeration units to store them... but I can order now, and with their efficiency, delivery can be made within half an hour."
Victor spoke and opened another page of the list, which contained order forms provided by suppliers to doctors like him.
Mercer looked for a while and finally decided, "Let's go with this Petrifying Chicken Snake from Qilu Company. Its intelligent analysis scan can help her see the enemy's weak points more accurately.
Plus, the tenfold zoom and ultra-high frame rate can also enhance her reaction speed.
Although its ability to scan electronic devices is somewhat lacking, she doesn't need that much, and this could be counted as the top configuration for a melee prosthetic eye, right?"
"It's just a bit expensive. A standard version costs 70,000 Euros, and I heard they'll release a luxury custom version of the 'Petrifying Chicken Snake' later. Do you want to wait?"
Victor couldn't help but shake his head at Mercer's extravagant spending: "My suggestion is just to get a normal high-end prosthetic eye, like this regular optical prosthetic eye, plus a couple of plugins, which wouldn't be worse than the Petrifying Chicken Snake.
The Petrifying Chicken Snake isn't widely used yet, and I think its technology still needs a version or two to stabilize."
"Then let's go with Qilu Company's 'Thousand-Mile Eye', with an added tactical scanning plugin, this way, V can quickly highlight targets in a melee, scan for danger, and help her make decisions."
After Mercer finished, Old Wei nodded in agreement: "This is pretty good, and in total, it's only 50,000 Euros, plus I have quite a few compatible small programs, like the same type of camera interference program that's in your prosthetic eye."
"Hmm, once I manage to get the NCPD's program library, I can also install a scan program similar to NCPD's into it, Old Wei, sell you the program cheap when the time comes?"
Mercer concluded, Victor chuckled twice: "Alright, if you can really get a scanning program that connects to the NCPD's data, those street kids would love you for it.
They're always worried about unknowingly picking a fight with the wrong person on the street."
"No problem... V, what do you think?"
Mercer turned his head to look at V.
With a bewildered look, V said, "The Thousand-Mile Eye... it seems pretty expensive, but is it necessary? The basic model, the one that costs a little over 20,000, seems sufficient..."
"First of all, the zoom speed of the 'Thousand-Mile Eye' is much faster than the ordinary one, plus the scanning speed is about 1.4 times faster compared to the normal one, and it also has a character highlight function.
Most importantly, while it is primarily for long-range observation as a prosthetic eye, when you activate Sianwistan, it won't have any dropped frames, the ultra-high refresh rate and resolution will perfectly match your accelerated body.
With ordinary prosthetic eyes, I'm afraid that after using Sianwistan, the acceleration might be too fast, causing blurred vision, and that could be deadly."
After Mercer finished, Old Wei also nodded, acknowledging his point: "Indeed, your speed is likely much faster than the average person's."
V said nothing more, just clicked her tongue silently.
How much would she owe Mercer now...
"Brain-Computer Interface isn't expensive, just replace it with the same model as mine, but Old Wei, I hope you can add an extra storage slot for her, I'll need to add one as well, two slots aren't enough.
From now on, my people will be equipped with three slots."
Mercer continued discussing with Old Wei.
"Hmm, that's doable, not difficult," Old Wei nodded.
"Subdermal armor... Old Wei, do you have any recommendations?" Mercer asked.
Old Wei thought for a moment and said, "I don't recommend installing heavy subdermal armor, biotechnological nanomaterial armor would be better.
This kind of subdermal nanomaterial armor uses nano-injection technology to form a layer of nano-protection under the skin by injecting nanorobots.
