<Yang Hu> was somewhat bewildered. He did not know when <Lu Yuan> had stabbed him so abruptly. What's more, the stinging sensation...felt more like being bitten by some kind of insect. As a mercenary, <Yang Hu> had never been stabbed in the chest before, but he knew that the feeling of being stabbed in the chest would definitely not be this mild.
<Lu Yuan>'s face with its pathological smile drew nearer as he said in a gentle yet magnetic voice, "Doesn't it hurt?"
"This is called neural conduction anesthesia. It's a special ability I obtained from a young lady who came to me for double eyelid surgery."
"Your nerves will only transmit the feeling of pain to your central nervous system after your bodily functions have completely failed. That is, after you die."
"Don't worry, I don't charge for this service."
"I never charge the dead for surgery."
At this point, <Yang Hu> finally understood the meaning of <Lu Yuan>'s earlier remark, "For special customers, it's always free here."
<Yang Hu> suddenly thought of the other mercenaries who had entered with him. With him and <Wang Tao>, two ability users, barely escaping <Lu Yuan>'s clutches, those mercenaries were probably already dead!
What <Yang Hu> found odd though was that he hadn't received any messages from them over the walkie-talkies!
"Ding ling ling-"
Abruptly, a jarring ringtone sounded from inside the overturned car next to them.
<Yang Hu> then saw <Lu Yuan> move his finger slightly, and the ringing stopped instantly.
Seeing the look of astonishment in <Yang Hu>'s eyes, <Lu Yuan> gave a faint smile and said, "This ability I obtained from a young lady who came to me for breast augmentation surgery - wireless signal interference. I used it earlier to jam and delay the signals from your comrades' walkie-talkies."
<Yang Hu>: "......"
Watching the blood crocodile king bouncing around behind <Lu Yuan> in a state of abnormal excitement, and then thinking about <Lu Yuan>'s surgical skills, <Yang Hu> really didn't dare imagine how many abilities this Doctor Lu possessed!
In an instant, <Yang Hu> glanced back at Yuncheng, shrouded in the night. At this moment, he felt the dilapidated little city becoming increasingly blurred before his eyes......
A few minutes later, <Yang Hu> closed his eyes weakly and collapsed to the ground.
<Lu Yuan> went forward and used his signature move - dragging a corpse like a dead dog - to haul <Yang Hu> over and stuff him into the rear compartment of his armored all-terrain vehicle.
Sitting in the driver's seat, <Lu Yuan> took a deep breath and muttered contentedly, "Got two dissection subjects in one go. Yet another fruitful day......"
When the armored vehicle made a U-turn on the deserted road amidst the night, <Lu Yuan> wound down his window and smiled at the desolate wasteland beside them.
Soon after <Lu Yuan> drove off, a man in a black coat - Xiao Wu, who had previously undergone surgery with <Lu Yuan> - emerged from that deserted wasteland.
Watching <Lu Yuan> leave, Xiao Wu murmured, "Can't believe I was actually worried those people could threaten Doctor Lu...How stupid of me..."
...
After returning to the clinic, <Lu Yuan> was in no hurry to dissect the two ability user corpses he had just obtained. Instead, he first washed his hands, then went to the pantry to finish his supper.
The steamed egg custard he had made was still hot.
Twenty minutes later, <Lu Yuan> got up and went to the clinic lobby where Xiao Wu was sitting in the waiting area.
Seeing <Lu Yuan>, Xiao Wu immediately stood up and bowed slightly in a very deferential manner, "Doctor Lu!"
Looking at this perfect masterpiece of his, a faint smile appeared on <Lu Yuan>'s face. "Let's talk in my office."
"Alright!"
Seated in the office, <Lu Yuan> first asked about the background of the group that came tonight. Xiao Wu answered truthfully.
Hearing they were mercenaries hired by Hei Huo Group, <Lu Yuan> fell silent in contemplation.
Seeing that, Xiao Wu hurriedly added, "Doctor Lu, don't worry! If there's any trouble because of me, I'll help you resolve it!"
Whether there was trouble or not, <Lu Yuan> didn't care much. He hoped people with abilities would come knocking every day. After all, each time he dissected an ability user or those mutant beasts with special powers, more strange medical knowledge would spring up in his mind. It was like opening a blind box, f*cking thrilling!
Moreover, aside from the increase in knowledge in his brain, <Lu Yuan> could also obtain others' unique abilities through his innate genetic replication ability!
Over the years, from those young ladies who came to him for double eyelid surgery, eye opening, nose augmentation, breast enhancement, liposuction etc., <Lu Yuan> had obtained many bizarre abilities. But when it comes to abilities, who doesn't want more!
After thinking for a bit, <Lu Yuan> chatted with Xiao Wu for a while longer.
When Xiao Wu was leaving, an awkward expression crossed his face as he looked at <Lu Yuan>. "Doctor Lu, I...I wish to see that nurse again..."
Seeing <Lu Yuan>'s weird stare, Xiao Wu quickly explained, "Doctor Lu, I absolutely do not have any indecent intentions! I...In my life, no woman has ever taken care of me before. She...she's the first one..."
As he spoke, a grateful look appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes. "Doctor Lu, I'm truly thankful to you. Your surgery gave me new life and a fresh start."
"To be honest with you, after I leave here this time, I plan to do some things I've always wanted to do. I'm not sure if I can make it back alive, so..."
"I wish to see that nurse girl again!"
<Lu Yuan> nodded in realization. As Xiao Wu was leaving, he meaningfully said, "Firstly, I must remind you, she took care of you to earn money."
"Also, I advise you - you'd better not have any indecent thoughts. There are so many girls in this world. Don't even think about it, or the consequences will be dire..."
Xiao Wu grinned. "Doctor Lu, how dare I covet what is yours? Even if I dared, I wouldn't have the capability!"
"What 'mine'? Don't spout nonsense!"
<Lu Yuan> glared fiercely at Xiao Wu before stepping out of his office.
Soon, brisk footsteps sounded along the corridor.
The nurse, <Liu Yuan>, came over with bleary, sleepy eyes. In her left hand she held a mop, and in her right, a pail of water. She flicked the mop dexterously onto the floor of <Lu Yuan>'s office.
This time, <Liu Yuan> saw Xiao Wu. She tilted her head with a very puzzled look on her face.
"Huh? Still alive?"
Before Xiao Wu could speak, <Liu Yuan> put on a Bluetooth earpiece and said into it, "Boss, there's still a live one here who wasn't disposed of yet. He's made his way into your office. Do you need me to help you handle it?"
Xiao Wu: "......"
At this moment, <Lu Yuan>'s earlier words echoed in Xiao Wu's mind, "Don't even think about it, or the consequences will be dire..."
Of course, no ordinary girl could become Doctor Lu's nurse!
Xiao Wu promptly greeted with utmost respect, "Hello, I'm Xiao Wu. We've met before!"
<Liu Yuan> forcibly widened her bleary eyes a little. "Oh it's you... Why are you back again?"
"Nothing much. Just wanted to see Doctor Lu and you again."
"Oh. What's there to see..."
Speaking, <Liu Yuan> pulled over a chair and sat opposite Xiao Wu. She slumped back on the chair and immediately fell asleep.
Gazing at the sweet, sleeping face of <Liu Yuan>, a warm smile spread across Xiao Wu's face.
He took out his phone and softly muttered "Sorry". Then he snapped a photo of the sleeping <Liu Yuan>.
After staring at the nurse for a while longer, Xiao Wu quietly got up and left.
The second minute after Xiao Wu exited <Lu Yuan>'s office, <Liu Yuan>, who was fast asleep just a moment ago, opened her eyes. Picking up her mop and bucket, she headed towards the end of the first floor corridor.
Outside the clinic, after walking to the front of the building, Xiao Wu turned around and bowed deeply towards <Lu Yuan>'s clinic. Only then did he slowly take his leave.
On the second floor public lounge of the clinic, <Lu Yuan> stood behind the window watching Xiao Wu's figure disappear into the dawning light of Yuncheng.
Suddenly, he felt a soft weight on his arm as the nurse wrapped both hands around it.
Slap!
<Lu Yuan> slapped <Liu Yuan>'s presumptuous, lecherous hand away once more.
The nurse pouted. "It's after work hours. I did two overtime sessions temporarily tonight. I deserve a reward!"
As she spoke, <Liu Yuan> hugged <Lu Yuan>'s arm again.
This time, <Lu Yuan> only twitched his lips, not rejecting her advance.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
