Pira leaned against the hovercar, looking left and right, as a few Trauma Team members stood motionless until he peered inside. Only then did they reach out to stop him, but their attitude remained quite polite.
"Yes, our medical personnel will perform first aid for you inside the car, and even conduct emergency surgery if necessary, until you are delivered to the hospital and handed over to the doctors. We will ensure continuous escort until you enter the emergency room,"
Taylor said, then paused for a moment, smiling broadly, "As for the price... because of the high-risk nature of your professions, we must charge you according to high-risk standards, specifically, a monthly fee of 10,000 Euros."
"10,000 a month!?" V exclaimed in shock, "Come on, an ordinary person earns only tens of thousands of Euros a year?"
For a dockworker in Night City, earning just about 900 Euros a month, their monthly premium would be about a year's salary for an average worker!
Taylor simply smiled, not giving much of an explanation, but instead emphasized again, "For high-risk professions like yours, every policy claim will be assessed based on the circumstances, which may lead to an increase in your premium the following month.
Moreover, the insurance contract you purchase does not cover full exemption from regular personnel and equipment damage costs, but rather a 70% discount.
This means that if providing aid results in damage to vehicles and personnel, we will still charge the remaining 30% for equipment and personnel loss fees.
If you are unable to pay this fee, it will trigger default clauses, the specifics of which I suggest you read carefully in the contract."
Upon hearing this, Mercer nodded and straightforwardly said, "Let's sign the contract, paper or electronic?"
"Of course, it's electronic. You only need to leave your biometric information and electronic signature on the electronic contract. After that, download our life monitoring program onto your Brain-Computer Interface to start enjoying our membership services.
However, the monitoring provided by the Brain-Computer Interface is not comprehensive for your physical condition.
Therefore, I recommend you equip a professional life status monitoring implant. We can provide monitoring programs for the corresponding implant models, responding to your needs anytime, with professional medical staff supervising your health 24 hours a day."
Mercer nodded, unable to suppress his curiosity, "How much more expensive is the Edgerunners' premium compared to ordinary people?"
"Three times," Taylor continued to smile, "Please understand, ordinary people might need our services maybe once every three to five years, and even then, they are unlikely to encounter combat.
But for an Edgerunner... frankly, when we intend to serve you, it means we are prepared to provide combat support.
And when you require our service, we ensure that you feel it's worth the value."
Mercer said nothing more. Taking the tablet handed over, he looked it over carefully, then decisively declared, "I'll get a platinum membership for myself and my friends, with all fees deducted from a fixed account."
"Understood, please hold on..." Taylor operated for a while, then handed the tablet back to Mercer.
After reviewing it once more, Mercer smoothly wrote his name and registered his biometric signature online.
"You guys sign your names and log in your biometric information," Mercer said.
V was the first to step up, somewhat adapting to writing his full name on the tablet, then registering his information.
The others followed suit, registering their information as well.
Under Taylor's attentive gaze, Mercer completed the payment of the premium.
After confirming the Euros had been received, Taylor smiled broadly and nodded respectfully, "Dear platinum member, welcome to the Trauma Team. From now on, the Trauma Team will be at your service.
Later, I will send the relevant biometric detection software to you via email. If you plan to purchase and install a better life status monitoring implant, I highly recommend using the biological monitoring accessories developed by the Trauma Team.
This will allow us to serve you better, providing real-time medical assistance."
Mercer simply nodded, "Understood, you can go now."
"Alright, very pleased to serve you." Taylor bowed slightly, then returned to the hovercar with the Trauma Team members.
Watching the Trauma Team's hovercar take off and leave, everyone exchanged glances, "Is that it?"
"I'll study their biometric monitoring software soon and make some modifications to at least block the part that collects user information.
Once you have installed the program onto your Brain-Computer Interface and received platinum membership verification, the service will be activated,"
Mercer briefly explained the service process.
Rebecca suddenly remarked, feeling a bit concerned, "I mean, Mercer, is it necessary? Buying for everyone... even for just a few of us, it's 70,000 Euros a month!"
Kyoko also hesitated, saying, "Mercer, I think I..."
"It's fine. I'd rather it be money wasted, but if risks really do arise, trust me, this will definitely make you feel it's worth more than the cost,"
Mercer, however, was firm in not changing his decision.
Once you have the Trauma Team's platinum membership, it would be almost impossible for your teammates to die from injuries unless they encounter a fatal attack.
