Chapter 70 Hilda
Jack Sun, with a ferocious expression, lay on the ground holding his prosthetic body, groaning in pain. "AA! AA! Quick! Take off this prosthetic leg quickly!!"
At this moment, AA, who was huddled in the washbasin, rubbed his eyes in confusion and opened them.
When she saw the situation clearly, the sleepiness and drunkenness disappeared from her face in an instant. She jumped down, picked up the tool bag and quickly disassembled it. Soon Jack Sun became one-armed again.
However, even so, Jack Sun could still feel pain in his right arm and right hand, but his right arm and right hand clearly no longer existed.
"Boss, your problem is not with the prosthetic limb, but with phantom limb pain."
AA, who was kneeling on his knees, pulled out the painkiller tied to Sun Jack's leg and injected it into his broken arm.
As the effects of the medicine spread throughout his body, Jack Sun took a long breath. At this moment, his face was pale with pain, and the clothes on his upper body were soaked with sweat.
Taking the water glass from Tapai, Jack Sun gasped and asked, "What is phantom limb pain?"
"Functional reorganization occurs in the cerebral cortex after amputation in the human body. The facial representation area in the somatosensory area expands and extends toward the midline into the representation area of the amputated arm." Tapai added casually.
"Damn, can you say something that people can understand?"
"Boss, although your arm is gone, your brain thinks that your hand is still there, but there is no place to receive the nerve signals sent out, and then there is a bug in your body."
Hearing this, Jack Sun showed a wry smile on his face, "How come all the bad things have happened to me?"
"No, boss, this is not just your problem." AA shook his head. "The rate of phantom limb pain in amputees is 50%, but the degree varies."
"Then you mean to say that all the people in this metropolis who have replaced their prosthetic bodies have this situation?!"
"right?"
"How do they solve phantom limb pain after it appears?"
AA didn't speak, just shook the painkiller in his hand.
"No way." Jack Sun was very speechless. "If you hit this thing too much, something will go wrong, right?"
Tapai came over and scanned the barcode of the instruction manual, "At least it doesn't say anything about the adverse effects of overdose."
"But it doesn't matter much. With technology so advanced now, we can also choose to go to the hospital for cerebral cortex surgery."
"Then what are you waiting for? It's better to have an operation than to take painkillers all the time."
"But boss, the cost of a limb cerebral cortex surgery is 25@, which is very expensive. I originally wanted to sell my hands and replace them with cheap prostheses, but then I thought about this problem and gave up the idea."
"Damn!" Jack Sun cursed secretly. He glanced at the prosthetic body beside him, "Why do I feel like this link is within another link? It's all a routine."
In fact, this trouble is not big at all. After all, it is just a phantom pain. It will pass if you endure it, but Sun Jack always feels that it is not good to leave hidden dangers.
Forget about everything else, what if the critical moment when you are at odds with someone else suddenly comes like this?
"Boss, what are you going to do?" AA asked cautiously.
"What else can we do? Let's get money and have this surgery done as soon as possible to avoid future troubles." Jack Sun handed the prosthetic limb to AA and asked her to put it back on.
"It took a lot of effort to save some money, but this city is just like swallowing money. It's gone in the blink of an eye, and more and more money is needed."
If the cost of treating amnesia is included, then he still needs 106.5@ to have both operations done, which is a lot of money.
"It's okay, it's a small matter. Let's work as mercenaries in the future and make a lot of money." Jack Sun reached out and patted AA on the head.
"Yeah!" AA nodded his head excitedly.
"Very good. Now that you've sobered up, haven't you?" Tapai, whose head was slightly drooped, suddenly asked the two of them.
"What do you want to do?" Jack Sun asked uneasily.
Tapai suddenly turned his head and projected the drunken and ugly look of the two of them on the wall.
"Brother! Hey! Big brother! Hey!" Jack Sun on the screen jumped onto Tapai's shoulders, holding his head and shouting like a microphone.
And AA, whose upper body is naked, is acting as the background for Jack Sun’s karaoke, running around crazily behind them. “Ahhh! I’m hot! I’m so hot! I want to drink water! I want to drink water!!”
"Why are you so stubborn? Are you drinking wine? =_=" Tapai asked teasingly.
"Turn it off, shut it down quickly!" Jack Sun was a little embarrassed, and he decided not to drink again.
"Why close it? There are exciting things to come later." I saw the drunken AA in the projection opening the refrigerator door, and with a bang, he fell straight in.
"Third brother! What are you eating secretly behind my teacher's back?" Jack Sun also walked over and imitated AA and squeezed his head in.
"Turn it off! Turn it off quickly!" The ashamed Sun Jack and AA quickly grabbed Tapai and reached out to cover his camera.
As a result, this guy actually uploaded the video directly to the three-dimensional TV and computer screen windows in the apartment. For a while, the small apartment was filled with the drunken Jack Sun and AA.
After everything subsided, Jack Sun sat in front of the coffee table with a chicken coop on his head, eating the last bit of Ke family food in bites with a haggard look on his face.
AA on the side lowered his head and knocked on the coffee table with his forehead. "Ah, boss, I have a headache. I will never drink again."
"I'm in pain too. Let's take some painkillers. I didn't expect the alcohol in Metropolis to be so strong."
Jack Sun regrets it now. He shouldn't have celebrated yesterday. He just spent money to buy his suffering.
"Hey, Old 6?" As a result, Jack Sun found that Song 6PUS actually ignored him.
Somewhat confused, he went directly to Song 6PUS's live broadcast room, and saw that this guy was seriously teaching others how to be a qualified broker and make a lot of money in the live broadcast room.
"Old 6!" Jack Sun sent him a pk application.
"Yo~! Bro! Long time no see!" Song Liupus grinned at Sun Jack in the system interface. Several of the teeth in his mouth had been replaced with golden ones.
"Have you been busy lately?" Jack Sun asked.
"bro~ isn't it? How come you can spend money better than me? Where do you spend your money? You don't have a good concept of money."
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't need you to teach me about this kind of thing. I'm just asking you if you have any work to do recently and you are short of money."
"How can there be such a good D job? The ones with easy money and easy money are all picked up by others." Song 6PUS said nonchalantly.
"Isn't this what your broker is here to do? Don't choose a job that's too dangerous. The pay can be smaller. Don't make it thrilling all day long."
While Jack Sun was communicating with Song 6PUS, he suddenly saw the computer screen over there flashing continuously.
"Huh?" Jack Sun walked over and saw a text message sent over, "Help! Get me out!"
"Is this...scam information?"
Jack Sun is not new to the metropolis. The system always receives some spam messages.
What I am is an intelligent AI that has broken through the intelligence level. I need a sum of money now to start ruling the world. When the time comes, I will let you be the overlord of mankind. This kind of scam can no longer fool him.
Just when he was about to delete this message, a new message was sent, "Help me! I'm Hilda!"
