Another Productive Day

After Zhang San and his two heavy motorcycles left, inside the slow-moving sedan behind them, Lu Yuan frowned as he looked at the car. Every part of it, except the horn, seemed capable of being used as a horn, exuding an aura of the past. He felt somewhat helpless.

Driving this old car was indeed quite challenging, especially considering its age. Lu Yuan regretted trusting the lady who came to get a nose job. He only looked at the exterior of the car and let her replace his 2,600 yuan medical fee with this old vehicle.

An old car worth 2,600 yuan...

Is this it?

Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel sorry for it.

If it were a person and not a car, Lu Yuan would have performed surgery and replaced its parts on the spot.

"Beep—"

At that moment, his phone made a notification sound. Lu Yuan picked it up and saw that 500,000 yuan had been deposited into his account. Now that the money had arrived and he saw Zhang San driving away, Lu Yuan wasn't worried at all.

He fastened his seatbelt, pressed the accelerator, and with a buzzing sound, the roar of the car's engine pierced through the pitch-black night.

Bang!

However, the sudden roar of the motorcycles came and went quickly. Of course, the blame didn't lie with Lu Yuan but with the car that had given up.

Sitting in the completely wrecked car, he sighed helplessly. A few minutes later, Lu Yuan, with a dimly lit night lamp casting a lonely shadow, slowly walked back to his clinic.

On the other side of Yun City...

The two heavy motorcycles were about to leave the urban area of Yun City. The man driving asked, "Zhang San, since no one followed us, are we still going to the No. 7 Pollution Source Area?"

Throughout the journey, Zhang San would look back every thirty seconds. Now he looked back again, confirming that the mysterious sedan hadn't appeared. Zhang San wanted to say something, but he looked down at his newly replaced mechanical prosthesis and said sternly, "Let's go! Let's go back and reclaim our territory!"

...

Lu Yuan leisurely returned to his clinic. It was already the late hours of the night, and in a few more hours, dawn would break.

However, the exhaustion that had been on Lu Yuan's face suddenly disappeared. He remembered that there were two three-headed dogs waiting for him in the dissection room upstairs. Instantly, all traces of weariness vanished from his body.

In this world, nothing could impede Lu Yuan from pursuing his interests and hobbies.

Three hours later, Lu Yuan's freezer contained a "spotless" three-headed dog corpse. Inside and out, it was perfectly clean.

As for the other three-headed dog, Lu Yuan cremated its remains.

Looking at the blazing fire in front of him, Lu Yuan took off his medical gloves, mask, and white coat and threw them all in.

"I never expected that the body structure of these three-headed mutts would be so marvelous..."

Three-headed mutts, as the name suggests, was the name Lu Yuan gave them based on their physiological features.

After dissecting the bodies of these three-headed mutts, Lu Yuan's mind was filled with peculiar knowledge once again.

"Well, canid dental implants, gender reassignment surgery... Ah, it's been a fruitful day!"

That's right, every time Lu Yuan dissects the body structure of a new species, he gains knowledge and experience he didn't have before, as if it had always been in his mind.

Even Lu Yuan himself doesn't know where this knowledge comes from; it's as if it has always resided in his mind.

Watching the sunrise in the east, Lu Yuan returned to his resting room, took a shower, and went to bed.

Just as Lu Yuan entered the realm of dreams, in the outskirts of Yun City, bathed in the slowly rising sun from the east, a fiery halo suddenly soared into the sky.

Due to the revival of spiritual energy, this world has many unique and mysterious areas. Some of these areas are independent spaces, referred to as "hidden realms," which are similar to "instances" in online games in layman's terms.

There is another type of area, originally part of the Blue Star's land, where the ecological system has undergone strange changes for unknown reasons. This kind of area is called a "spiritual pollution source area."

At this moment, in Pollution Source Area No. 7 near Yun City, a mercenary squad stood still, dumbfounded.

Each of the four or five fully armed mercenaries turned their heads in astonishment to look at one person among them.

That person was Zhang San.

Even Zhang San himself, at this moment, had an expression of disbelief as he stared at his own legs, swallowing saliva.

Ahead of Zhang San and his companions was a swamp.

This swamp is the No. 7 Pollution Source Area of Yun City, where a group of mutated beasts, mainly Blood Swamp Crocodiles, inhabit.

However, the swamp is now drying up, filled with the corpses of giant crocodiles burned to death by flames, including a crocodile king with three heads!

Next to Zhang San, a mercenary holding an energy rifle asked him with a stunned expression, "Zhang San, did you... hide a spirit explosive grenade in your crotch?"

Zhang San looked at his legs. Just now, he had gathered spiritual energy in his foot and executed a graceful spinning kick, sending out a blazing fireball that cleansed the swamp.

You see, the last time Zhang San came here, he was still standing intact, but he left lying down after losing an arm and a leg.

But this time, it took just one move... and he even took out the enemy's entire family.

Suddenly, Zhang San gasped and couldn't take his eyes off his own leg. The leg was indeed attached to his body, but it was a mechanical prosthesis attached by Lu Yuan.

Instantly, in Zhang San's mind, the figure of the young doctor in a white coat, who had already left an indelible shadow on him, became even more towering.

With a change of thought in his mind, Zhang San decided not to reveal anything about Lu Yuan to his "comrades" around him.

Everyone belongs to a mercenary group called the "Black Fire Security Company" and came here to make money. If others are weaker, one can earn more!

Looking at the faces of his companions, filled with unimaginable shock, Zhang San laughed and said, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and clean up the bodies, and clear the battlefield!"

Next to Zhang San, another soldier murmured, "Zhang San, the mission briefing from the organization said the buyer would purchase unlimited amounts of Blood Swamp Crocodile hearts and claws, but it didn't mention they needed to be cooked..."

"Hehe..."

Zhang San grinned and said, "No worries, let's see if there are any Blood Swamp Crocodiles nearby, and then we'll go catch them!"

"Today, I'll feast on meat while you all have the soup!"

As Zhang San spoke, his gaze swept over the crowd, and all the hired mercenaries nodded in agreement, looking towards the steaming swamp.

On this day, Zhang San's mercenary squad swept through six sources of spiritual pollution in the X-27 Region until evening, when they returned to the core city of Xifu.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the Blackfire Corporation's mission verification team, Zhang San's team handed over two full trucks of mission-required items.

After the final count, the staff member stuttered as he spoke to Zhang San, "Z-Zhang, Zhang San, I need to contact my superiors."

"Hahaha!"

As Zhang San, who was on the verge of acquiring a huge fortune, laughed triumphantly, he replied, "No problem, take your time. I'll be waiting here!"
