Chapter 179: Prosthetic Body: Burning Wind
As he spoke, David also moved his body twice.

Once Sian Westin is activated, the flow of time around the user will slow down a lot in the user's perception - in many cases, life's perception of time is proportional to speed.

After this period of familiarization, David has gone from being uncomfortable with Sian Westin to being completely mastered. How do you describe this feeling? If before, the prosthesis was just a prosthesis, and every activation would feel the difference between artificial circuits and biological nerves. Now, in David's perception, Sian Westin is a part of his body, a new organ, not an implanted prosthesis.

"It feels like Sian Westin is doing intense exercise." David explained to the people beside him: "If you use it for a short period of time, such as going to the refrigerator to get a drink, the burden on the body will be changed from walking to running quickly, and resting for one or two seconds is enough."

“This is what the immune system looks like when it’s fully adapted.”

Ron said: "The prosthesis truly becomes a part of the body, so it can be used for training... Of course, at this stage, it is impossible for you to completely integrate a prosthesis into your body. Not only is your ability not enough, but the level of prosthesis technology is also not enough. However, by adapting in advance, you can greatly speed up the process of getting started."

"Getting started? You mean..."

"It will become a real robot, and through mechanical updates, it will continuously upgrade its software and hardware source code, allowing it to complete its evolution at the secret energy level. However, this is all for the future. The first thing you need to do now is to restore the factory settings."

Ron looked at the three Vs on the side.

I can only say that it's a good thing that they are the famous V, not the famous K. Otherwise, the three Ks would scare you just thinking about it.

"You guys come along too."

"..."

After looking at each other, the three Vs nodded.

"I don't have any prosthetics anyway." V ​​the homeless man was the most indifferent. In contrast, the company employees and the street kids were somewhat puzzled, but they were mostly curious.

After entering Helheim, the group began to perform factory settings. Seeing them being dismantled and hung in the air one by one, David also revealed a smile:

"Haha, you guys also feel my pain, right? I was hung here the whole time!"

"Shut up! We are much stronger than you!" Rebecca was not afraid of being disintegrated into a pile of flesh and blood. She just said with disgust: "At least we have something to block us now. At that time, even your little brother was hanging in the sky. I should have given him a hard blow earlier!"

Although the process was similar, there were so many people this time, so Ron adjusted the refraction of the light nearby, forming one shield after another, to prevent the induction meeting and new employee physical examination from turning into an open-air silver party.

"…Although I knew this would happen, the process of restoring the factory settings really makes me feel uncomfortable."

Unlike others, Qiwei is more concerned with the changes in herself.

"The immunosuppressants have lost their effect, and the immune system has begun to attack the prosthesis. The artificial circuits have slowly begun to merge into the biological nerves... Tsk tsk, this time, it really has to become a robot from the inside out."

"If we record it, there will definitely be a lot of people discussing it." Company V on the side also said:

"There are scholars in the European Community who have been discussing whether people who have been completely cybernetically modified can be considered human. They are just artificial circuits and nerves that have been cybernetically modified. We are now beginning to merge artificial circuits and biological nerves... We have both human characteristics and robot characteristics, so there will definitely be a lot of philosophers who will criticize us."

"Tsk, as long as it works." Street kid V said nonchalantly, "I feel my body is warm, um, I guess I'm getting stronger, right?"

They were chatting idly, unaware that while they were restoring the system to factory settings, the outside world was already in chaos because of the different speeds of time flowing.

The main reason was Armstrong. The massacre he carried out at the Six Street Gang headquarters caused the anger of many large companies. This anger was not carried out secretly, but all the media in Night City reported the relevant events in an overwhelming manner.

'The dictator of the Six Street Gang, Congressman Armstrong!'

'The strongest politician on earth, single-handedly declares war on all giant corporations!'

'Absolute power or pure stupidity? What kind of confidence did nanotechnology give Armstrong?'

'Maybe the Sixth Street Gang will be the first step to a new America? Why does he need the Sixth Street Gang when he has mastered nanotechnology?'

'The giant companies jointly stated that they would hold Armstrong accountable for his actions.'

'Arasaka Saburo, the head of the Arasaka Group, issued an emergency plan, offering a reward of 500,000 euros for any clues related to Armstrong.'

'The European Community has issued a bounty, and a large number of bounty mercenaries have gathered in Night City.'

'Gao Knight issued a statement saying that Armstrong and Gao Knight had nothing to do with each other and that they had exchanged information on nanotechnology.'

Looking at the news in the news media, leaning on the soft leather sofa, holding a cigar in his hand, Armstrong showed a smile.

"Ha, it's almost done. Everything is on the right track."

Having said this, Armstrong also opened the system and initiated voice communication.

"Are you there, Ron?"

"Yes, what's up?"

"My prosthesis is ready. How about you? Are David and the others ready?"

"Well, it's almost there."

After exchanging a glance with David and David nods, Ron says, "David is ready. If there is no problem, send the prosthesis over and I will install it."

"Okay, by the way, let David and the others get ready, the war is about to begin."

"Easy to say."

As he spoke, the space in Helheim beside Ron fluctuated. A moment later, a nearly two-meter-tall artificial body reappeared from it.

It was just a little surprising, because the first thing that came into view after emerging from the spatial ripples was not a prosthetic body, but a burly figure wearing a heavy black windbreaker and two long swords on his waist.

This body has no head, but just seeing it makes people feel it is majestic.

"He really gave you this prosthetic body." Looking at the prosthetic body, Ron nodded:
"The Third Wind: Burning Wind."
