Chapter 23 Desert Skin
“Look, this is what I have achieved these days!”
The next day, in the dark shop, Littlefinger took out the finished product with a showy look.
There are three types of finished products. The first one is a piece of pale implantable bionic skin. The second one is a glass bottle with a plaster similar to skin care cream. The third one is a tube filled with transparent liquid. needle tube.
These three models are different qualities of ''desert skin'', and the methods of use are also different. The first model requires implantation of bionic skin, the second model requires smearing to form a cellular immune coating, and the third model requires direct injection. Needle.
The functions of the three models are also different.
Gao Gong was the first to pick up the rough bionic leather, and the system automatically refreshed its attributes.
Desert Skin (whiteboard): A conjoined artificial skin that protects human body moisture and blocks the spread of electronic signals. It has endurance +2 and agility +2.
Application status: Sufficient water, endurance recovery increased by 5% per minute
“This thing is a bit ugly,” Gao Gong touched it with his hand, as if he were touching the skin of a ‘chameleon’. The surface was all granular.
"Some of them are useful," Little Finger curled his lips. "Those people want to replace all their organs with implantable weapons. Do they still care about beauty and ugliness? Anyway, there is a virtual experience machine, so you can do whatever you want in it. Play."
"The virtual experience machine, it''s an antique that I haven''t played in many years," Gao Gong said with nostalgia. Although players in the game are not allowed to do some things that are inappropriate for children, snakes have their own ways and rats have their own ways. The virtual experience machine It is a special passage.
? Thinking back to that time, when I transformed into Mr. G and developed a hyper-virtual machine with 99.99% realism, it felt...
Ahem, a good man doesn’t mention his bravery in the past.
Gao Gong picked up the ''hand cream'' again. This thing is much better than artificial leather. At least you don''t need to peel it off before using it.
Desert Skin (Exquisite): Apply the plaster to form a cellular immune coating (needs to be absorbed continuously for eight hours for a long time) Stamina +3, Agility +2
Applying status: Sufficient water, endurance recovery increased by 7% per minute, slightly able to withstand radiation.
“This one is definitely the best-selling one.”
?This ointment can be used for a long time or temporarily (it can only block electronic signals), and it does not need to be applied all over the body, just apply it on certain key parts.
?As long as you don’t hide a gun under your crotch or a minefield in your buttocks, this thing is enough to block the perception of most radioactive beasts.
"Of course," Little Finger was also very satisfied with it and said, "I have adjusted the formula and reduced the cost. One desert worm gland can be used to prepare two bottles of ointment. Adding some water to dilute it can make four bottles. When you enter the black market, you can exchange one bottle for ten bottles."
Gao Gong took a breath, raised his thumb, and said, "Gao, really Gao. You are worthy of being the number one black market doctor in the Auto City. You don''t have a red heart at all!"
“Of course.”
?Speaking of the evil heart, Little Finger looked proud and continued: "The last one is focused on the high-end market and attracts high-level talents. It has no side effects, no adverse symptoms, and will not cause mechanical rejection."
?Gao Gong picked up the last syringe. This type of syringe was the smallest, with only two.
Desert Skin (Excellent): Needles implanted in the subcutaneous layer
Excellent biochemical preparation, completely blocking electronic signals, making the skin change with the environment like a tropical lizard, endurance +5, agility +3, armor +10
Additional status 1: Skin respiration - blood activity is reduced, endurance recovery per second is increased by 15%
Additional status 2: Immune to bleeding status
Additional status 3: Cold-blooded, reducing one''s own infrared radiation and reducing the probability of being discovered by the enemy
Gao Gong was really surprised this time. It is said that the master leads the door and the practice is personal. Although players can produce the same drawings, the quality of the equipment they make varies.
‘The highest level that a third-level blueprint can reach is ‘excellent’. This guy’s prosthetic doctor level must be over level ten. ’
Seeing the astonished expression on the senior engineer''s face, Littlefinger''s vanity was immediately satisfied, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth.
"This thing is just an exhibit. There are nearly thirty desert worms, and I only got two subcutaneous implant needles in total. To be honest, I was in a good state at the time. In fact, I don''t know how I got them."
“When this thing is officially released, don’t let it slip.”
"Since it''s a sample, that one is enough," Gao Gong took one unceremoniously and inserted it into his shoulder before his little finger could react.
As the implant needle was injected, Gao Gong could clearly feel that a kind of ''mutation'' was produced on the surface of the skin. It was like first touching a layer of chili oil on the skin and then adding a layer of sunscreen. Suddenly, the heat Hot and cold, all rushed up at once.
Gao Gong frowned and endured.
The surface of the skin first turns red, then returns to its original appearance, then turns pale, and then returns to its original appearance, repeated several times.
Then the skin began to undergo changes. Some parts were illuminated by the light of the electronic screen and turned into a blue snowflake screen. Some parts were reflected by the light on the metal workbench and turned into a metallic silvery white.
If you don’t look carefully, you won’t even realize there is a person in front of you.
As Gao Gong''s thoughts came to him, all the colors on his skin immediately disappeared. Along with them, some calluses and scars disappeared. It seemed that his skin color became better than before.
In this current situation, who can say that the senior engineer is not a pretty boy? Who is he to worry about?
Gao Gong’s eyes sparkled and he praised: “Very good effect! I’m very satisfied!”
“You, you kid!”
?Seeing Gao Gong become handsome again, little finger regretted it, and then stared straight at the last implant needle.
He also wanted to give himself a shot.
But this is the last one left on display. If I use it, it’s hard to say whether it will become more handsome or not. Sister Rose will definitely kill herself first.
“Okay, let’s talk about the issue of sharing.”
As soon as the friendly atmosphere changed, the two immediately became at war with each other.
"Fart! Thirty-seven points, do you know who developed this ''skin''? Without me, how could you have made this money?" ? ? ? "Nonsense, all business is dominated by channel dealers. Without our network, Believe it or not, this ''skin'' will be confiscated by the security team the next day, and then it will be swallowed up by various forces. "
"Is money important to you? What matters is influence, connections, and the right to speak in the desert in the future. Such a small amount of money is nothing. Don''t be so stingy."
"Shit, is this a small amount of money? As long as this skin is promoted, my income from ten surgeries will not be as much as its one-day sales. Aren''t you Sister Rose''s good friend? How can you have the nerve to rob women of their money?"
“What kind of love is this? She’s obviously a kept little giegie, okay? Isn’t it natural for a rich woman to spend money on her lover? You think I don’t contribute anything at night? This is all hard-earned money!”
“You are shameless!”
“You are mean!”
In terms of lack of moral integrity, the two of them are well-matched in chess and will encounter good talents.
Fortunately, neither of them had any intention of breaking up. Gao Gong knew that the other party could leave him at any time and go it alone, while Little Finger was also worried that the other party would use his waist to blow the pillow.
In the end, the two reached an agreement. The net profit after excluding costs was divided between them 60% and 40%, with the little finger representing the channel dealer accounting for the majority, and the senior engineer accounting for 40%.
?According to the agreement, the senior engineer will be responsible for hunting desert worms in the future. After all, the raw materials need to be kept secret, and there is no mechanical hunter that Littlefinger can fully trust.
Of the 40% of profits, 20% of the income cannot be withdrawn directly from mechanical coins and can only be exchanged for various materials. According to Littlefinger, withdrawing too much cash will affect their money laundering business.
?After signing the agreement, Gao Gong realized how profitable this business was. The net profit from the lowest-level skin implant alone was 2,000 mechanical coins, and the ''hand cream'' was even 4,000 mechanical coins.
Even though it’s so expensive, this batch of ‘skin’ has already been confirmed, and the pre-orderers have even been queued up to the third batch.
Those who strive for wealth in the desert know best how much their life is worth.
With this thing, it can be said that as long as you don''t actively hunt, or if you are particularly unlucky to run into a tide of beasts, you basically don''t have to worry about the threat of wild beasts.
It is also difficult to achieve this effect with high-level drawings.
This is an urgent need in the desert.
Gao Gong calculated that with this batch of skins alone, he could earn a net profit of 30,000 mechanical coins.
This is much faster than robbery.
After the exchange of words, both of them were a little tired. Little Finger collapsed on the sofa and suddenly said: "You know what? Sister Rose will be back soon."
“Oh? When?”
“Just in these few days.”
Ever since the Rose Gasoline Bar was blocked, Gao Gong knew that someone was targeting Black Rose.
The target is naturally not a bar, but the underground network controlled by Black Rose that spans more than a dozen oases.
The reason why Black Rose left during this period was to deal with this matter.
Listening to Littlefinger’s current tone, it seems that the matter has been resolved.
Gao Gong asked curiously: "Who attacked you?"
??If it were the former senior engineer and he was just a little wolfdog, it would be impossible for Little Finger to discuss this kind of thing with him.
But now, the other party has come up with two "surgical plans" one after another, one of which is still a hard product that can dominate the market.
Littlefinger decided to change his attitude a little.
“In the entire Iron Sand Desert, we can count the number of tycoons on one hand, and those who are interested in an underground intelligence network like ours will naturally be a fellow tycoon.”
Peers, intelligence, tycoons
Gao Gong had an idea in his mind, "That news tycoon Wang Tian?"
“It’s the newspaper seller.”
“So it’s him,” Gao Gong muttered to himself.
??In addition to being the general manager of the factory, this tycoon Wang also had his Radiation Daily, the best-selling book in the desert.
?This newspaper has a lot of useful information and is a must-read for mechanical hunters.
?At this point, how could this guy suddenly be interested in the underground network?
??If it is just a normal business expansion, that would be fine. If soldiers come to stop it and water comes to cover it, Sister Rose is not lacking in skills.
but-
Gao Gong suddenly thought of another possibility, what if this was not just a business war, but served a real ''war''.
He thought of an old saying.
Intelligence is the life of war.
