I am a mind mage

Chapter 163 Dr. Hawking
"B-Class Elite Heart - Promise: Rapid strikes quickly crush the enemy, and gain 20% additional attack speed when attacking."

"B-level elite heart - Titan: Boundless Sea! Can offset 10% of all attacks below B-level."

"B-level elite heart-bloodthirsty: the blood of a powerful enemy can awaken the fighting spirit in the heart. When encountering an enemy whose combat power is 100 higher than your own, it will enter the hyperactive mode (attack speed, movement speed, and attack power will increase.)"

"B-class elite."

Guo An flipped through several pages of elite hearts in his store and expressed dissatisfaction with them.

"B-level elite heart-bloody contract: The blood in the carrier's body is replaced when it passes through the heart. The replaced blood can enhance the carrier's defense, thereby achieving the A-level defense effect, and the attack power and movement speed reach the upper limit of B-level. Replacement time: five months.”

"Well, this, it's a little inside the US team!"

Guo An looked at the "Scarlet Contract", which still needs five months of replacement time, and by the way, let Steve gradually familiarize himself with his body.

"That's it."

Guo An nodded, and took another look at the progress of the operation.

"Oh? The heart is taken out?"

He went to look, and found that the mechanical heart was wrapped in blood and some kind of yellow liquid, and it also gave off a stench.

"It will take some time for the body to recover."

Guo An leaned over and glanced at the big hole in Steve's chest.

Driven by the powerful "Holy Healing", Steve's human heart has already sprouted.

"Can't stay, can't stay."

Guo An couldn't let the heart grow back, otherwise he would have to remove the heart again later. By then, he didn't know whether the tranquilizer needle would have any effect.

His heart became ruthless, and he used his mental strength to ruthlessly tear the little heart that was now like a bud.

"Pfft."

And Steve seemed to react, and his body shook a bit.

"Frozen!"

When Guo An removed the little heart, he also sprayed a bottle of cooling agent on the empty chest cavity.

Immediately, a thin layer of frost covered Steve's chest.

"hurry up."

Guo An turned around and adjusted the light curtain, and saw that the transfer rate of the B-level elite heart had reached 60%.

"I don't know where these equipments come from. The official federal market doesn't have the hearts of these so-called elites."

Guo An was also confused.

The equipment on this light curtain is just like Guo An's previous mall.

It's just that it takes a certain transfer time to call out the equipment here.

It seems to be transported from somewhere.

"Dr. Hawking, as a senior federal officer, I think you need to explain this matter to the commander-in-chief."

As for the Federation Headquarters, which is nearly a thousand kilometers away from Night City, Dr. Hawking was taken to a glorious hall covered with golden crystals.

The Brilliant Hall is generally used to deal with the most wanted criminals of the federal government, or to conduct live broadcast executions of wanted criminals in front of the whole world.

"Because only these key federal wanted criminals died here, isn't that what the glory of the federation is like?"

What the Commander-in-Chief said when he first set up this glorious hall.

But now, as a member of the top federation, Hawking was actually brought by the soldiers to this glorious hall specially used to execute wanted criminals.

"Dr. Hawking, long time no see."

Wearing a gorgeous costume and a hat inlaid with silver spar, the commander-in-chief was sitting in the center seat of the glorious hall, greeting Hawking like an old friend.

"That's right, Lord Commander-in-Chief, I didn't expect that we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and we will meet again in this glorious hall."

Hawking also sneered.

Because the last time he was taken away in front of Steve, he was immediately caught here to meet with the commander-in-chief.

"Dr. Hawking is also an old buddy in the federation. Since entering the federation more than ten years ago, he has made amazing contributions to the federation. Therefore, let's untie the handcuffs first. This is not the way we treat old buddies. .”

The commander-in-chief stood up and ordered the handcuffs to be removed. Then he walked over to Hawking and spoke with a tilted ear.

"We have no choice but to come here to meet. Why do you always come up with things that give us headaches?"

Then, the Commander-in-Chief put his hand on Dr. Hawking's shoulder.

"A-Level Legendary Set: Warwick and another set of Time Assassins, did you instigate this?"

After the Commander-in-Chief asked Dr. Hawking to sit down, his expression suddenly became gloomy.

"Commander-in-Chief, these two sets of equipment were made by me more than ten years ago, specifically 12 years ago. Due to the lack of materials and imperfect technology, it caused such panic at that time."

Hawking did not answer the Commander-in-Chief's question directly.

"Then, you brought me here, and you brought back those two pieces of equipment. In the past 12 years, I have tried to persuade you that I can no longer improve and upgrade, but during this period, you not only did not give up on these two pieces of equipment, The equipment was modified and allowed to be used for human experiments again. Now that it is lost, it is my fault."

When Hawking talked about this, his emotions also became high.

"My permissions were completely cleared by your technical staff 12 years ago. Now that I have lost them, you are still questioning me!"

"boom."

Hawking stood up and kicked the chair he was sitting on hard.

"Okay, Dr. Hawking, I'm not asking you anything, I'm just ruling out all the possibilities of this matter, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry when you're old."

Seeing that Hawking was furious, the Commander-in-Chief's expression softened. He also stood up and patted Hawking on the back, signaling that he should not be so angry.

"Humph."

Hawking snorted coldly.

"Come on, Dr. Hawking has always been dedicated to the Federation. Whoever reminded him to come and search him just now, please pick up the lunch box after the shift today."

The commander-in-chief remained calm, and ordered a few people to take Hawking out of the Hall of Glory.

"Commander, isn't it really him?"

After Dr. Hawking was taken away, the other people in the Hall of Glory were also ordered by the commander-in-chief to leave.

There was only one woman left with long black hair and a delicate European and American face.

"What he said is also reasonable. He has also lived under the sentry I arranged for the past ten years. Except for a few necessary shields, he has no chance to re-establish contact with these two sets of equipment. It probably doesn't matter much. But we still need to monitor and, if necessary, we need to kill the grass."

The commander-in-chief said after pondering for a while.

"He is now responsible for the improvement of that piece of equipment?"

"Report to the commander, it is A-level mythical equipment: Medusa."

"Medusa? Tsk, can you find more petrochemical energy?"

"Commander, what do you mean?"

The woman was puzzled, did the commander-in-chief want to help him complete this piece of equipment?
"In the past 12 years, various equipment technologies have improved a lot. The omnic factory has already started operation, and the assembly line production of equipment below Grade B is no longer a problem. Do I still want him, an old bone, to waste our federation's food?"

The commander-in-chief snorted coldly.

The woman nodded slightly, indicating that she understood, and then stepped back.
