In the reception hall, Liu Yuan saw the patient who had come this time.
This was a woman, or perhaps a girl could be called.
Her age couldn't be determined from her appearance.
Because she was a bit plump, estimated to be around three hundred pounds.
Although this girl wasn't as tall as Niu Ben, her physique was absolutely no less robust than Niu Ben.
If Niu Ben wanted to prevail over her in terms of presence, he would have to undergo an Outrageous Transformation first.
Liu Yuan led the girl to Lu Yuan's consultation room, hesitating slightly.
She was wondering how many chairs should be placed there?
One chair? It might lead to an awkward situation.
Two chairs? Would that provoke the other party?
The girl seemed to have noticed Liu Yuan's thoughts and smiled, saying, "It's alright, I can just stand and talk to the doctor."
"Oh no, that won't do! Don't worry, the chairs here are of good quality!"
In the end, Liu Yuan brought a chair over. This time, unlike before when she would simply lead the patient in and leave, she stood by the side, lending a bit of spiritual support to the chair that looked rather frail.
Just by looking at the girl seated across from him, even before she spoke, Lu Yuan had guessed her purpose for coming.
"Doctor, I'm from the Western Capital, and I want to undergo an eye corner surgery and double eyelid surgery here."
When the girl spoke, she didn't dare look into Lu Yuan's eyes at all, showing her lack of confidence.
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "May I ask your reasons for this surgery?"
The girl fell silent, looking at the table in front of her, hesitating before saying, "I... I want to make myself look a bit prettier."
Gently tapping the table with his fingers, Lu Yuan said slowly, "Sorry, to be frank, your problem isn't with your eyelids."
As soon as Lu Yuan spoke, Liu Yuan gave him a surprised look.
Dr. Lu was kind-hearted and rarely discouraged others with his words.
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, the girl lowered her head even further, as if feeling she had done something wrong, and mumbled, "Doctor, then... then there's no way?"
"I heard from Madam Jiang Ning that your skills are excellent, and some of my friends have had surgeries done by you."
Lu Yuan replied without hesitation, "Of course there is a way."
"But you must tell me your purpose, so I can tailor the treatment for you."
"Are you looking to marry into a wealthy family, or trying to get the attention of a particular boy, or simply wanting to become more beautiful?"
"Simply getting double eyelids won't make much difference for you. You'll need more comprehensive surgery to transform yourself completely."
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, the girl shook her head dejectedly.
"It's useless, Doctor. I have a special ability where I can never feel full."
"Even having my stomach reduced didn't work."
"Even if I get surgery to become thin, I'll quickly become fat again."
A hint of delight appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes. If it involved an ability, the surgery fee would increase, right?
And although this ability was rather special, she was still an ability-user.
Lu Yuan asked indirectly, "What is your financial situation like?"
"It's decent. My family is considered middle-class in the Western Capital. Doctor, you don't need to worry about the fees. I can easily fork out a few million for the surgery fee without batting an eye."
The girl, who had kept her head lowered while speaking, only dared to glance at Lu Yuan when saying this sentence. But after saying it, she immediately lowered her head again.
Hearing that the girl's financial situation was fine, Lu Yuan had no more reservations.
"Just tell me your requirements, what you want to become. You don't need to worry about anything else. If the surgery is completed but you become fat again due to this ability, I'll give you a full refund."
"Of course, it doesn't count if you intentionally eat yourself back to that state."
The plump girl, named Gao Yuan, hesitated and glanced at Lu Yuan again. From Lu Yuan's expression, she saw unwavering determination and an extremely confident smile.
Finally, a surgery order worth two million was confirmed.
As soon as he heard her name Gao Yuan, Lu Yuan knew what kind of look he should give this plump girl.
Since it was late in the day, the surgery was scheduled for tomorrow.
Lu Yuan saw Gao Yuan off, and noticed that she was escorted by three ability-users and dozens of hired soldiers.
Watching the convoy leave, Lu Yuan muttered, "This level of power, and they're just considered middle-class in the Western Capital......"
That night, in Operating Room No. 3.
After half an hour of work, Du Long's corpse was hung in Lu Yuan's basement exhibition hall.
Lu Yuan had been quite busy recently, so he hadn't dissected this corpse yet.
He copied Du Long's corrosive acid ability, and also gained an ordinary piece of future medical knowledge: Advanced Bone Material Forging Technique.
Next were the three ability-user corpses brought back by Liu Yuan.
These three were bodyguards of the management level staff at the Xifu City Tianyue Hospital who didn't need to go to work.
Two of their abilities were relatively ordinary: Rock Muscles and Strength Enhancement. The last one had a special ability: Elemental Absorption.
It allowed the user to absorb elements from different objects to strengthen themselves.
Lu Yuan thought for a moment, picked up a scalpel, and with a wave of his mind, the scalpel instantly turned to dust.
Next, Lu Yuan called Lin Youyou over.
In Lin Youyou's confused gaze, Lu Yuan waved his hand over her slender white hand.
The result......
Lu Yuan almost cut off Lin Youyou's wrist with that wave.
It was only then that he remembered he had just absorbed the element from a scalpel!
Meeting Lin Youyou's resentful gaze, Lu Yuan cleared his throat and said calmly, "Nothing, I was just checking if your ability has improved."
In an instant, the wound on Lin Youyou's hand healed.
She returned with a bucket and mop, giving Lu Yuan a speechless look as she cleaned up the blood stains on the floor.
After Lin Youyou left, Lu Yuan began to comprehend the knowledge gained from the three ability-user corpses.
Dissecting the two ordinary ability-users yielded very general knowledge, "Deducing a Person's Gender/Degree of Promiscuity from Their Walking Posture" and "Determining a Woman's Special Situation from Her Complexion".
As for the Elemental Absorption ability, being the first time dissecting such an ability-user, the knowledge gained was rarer.
"Elemental Life Basic Theory?!"
"First was a spirit body, and now an elemental body?"
"This world is truly rich and colorful......"
Lu Yuan carefully organized the new knowledge in his mind. At 10 PM, he prepared to return to his bedroom to sleep.
But at that moment, the reception hall's queuing machine started operating again.
"Someone's coming at this hour?"
Lu Yuan closed his eyes for three seconds, then opened them with a sickly trademark smile on his lips.
He looked at the Zhang Baobao doll that had been sitting on his desk for two days, poking its little belly with his finger, "They're coming under the guise of seeking treatment, so it's inconvenient for me to show up."
"I'm going to sleep. You can handle it, right?"
The doll's face, which originally had a pitiful expression, suddenly turned into a radiant smile.
......
