<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.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
