The night market in the old town is always filled with noisy fireworks.
Lin Xiao was sitting on a plastic red stool with a bowl of ten-yuan beef noodles in front of him. There are a few translucent slices of beef floating on the noodle soup, and there is a thick layer of red oil. The heat steamed up and smeared on his face.
He didn't move his chopsticks, and pressed the socket of his left eye firmly with his left hand.
There was a sharp sting in the eyeball, as if a red-hot steel needle was stirring the retina. Immediately afterwards, a blood-red warning box exploded in the center of the field of vision, and a translucent data stream flooded the screen like a waterfall, instantly covering the bowl of beef noodles.
[Warning: The body's rejection reaction is aggravated.
[Warning: There is insufficient maintenance funds for the biochip "Shenmu".
[System countdown: forced shutdown after 23 hours and 59 minutes.
The red words danced on the retina, and each flicker was accompanied by a sharp throbbing pain in the temples. Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his cheeks tightened into hard lumps. He took a deep breath, letting the cold air pour into his lungs, and barely suppressed the urge to gouge his eyeballs out.
This implantable biochip was obtained by him through hard work on the underground black market. It provides dynamic vision, data analysis, and even perspective on weaknesses. But it's also a gold-eating beast that requires expensive, specific inhibitors to maintain biocompatibility. Once the drug was discontinued, a strong rejection reaction would first burn the optic nerve and then kill him along the way to the central nervous system.
