Chapter 250: Bad News
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
House was a middle-aged man with a slightly skinny build. He had a white beard and a messy short hair that was slightly curly. He was giving Liliath and Elsa an unfriendly look while accusing them, “You hacked into our system and placed yourself second in the appointment list, didn’t you?! I check all my appointments before I leave work. I clearly remember the sequence of my patient list from yesterday.”
Liliath knew they had no choice but to admit to it. She immediately responded, “Doctor, please save our father. We had no choice but to do it…”
Tears flowed down her eyes as she spoke. They were like rivers flowing from broken dams.
Elsa was taken aback when she saw Liliath behave this way. She had no idea Liliath had such great acting chops. Since Elsa was unable to squeeze a single tear from her eyes, all she did was stare at the doctor with her large, innocent eyes, coupling them with a pitiful look on her face.
One girl was crying profusely as tears flowed freely from her eyes while the other was staring at him with pitiful, innocent, round eyes. It did not help that the ‘attacks’ were being made by two adorable little Lolitas.
House may not have been the most sympathetic person, but he relented nonetheless under the circumstance.
The look on his face was grim as he said, “Fine, that’s enough. Stop crying. Had you arranged for your appointment to be before the patient with the heart problem, I would’ve never accepted you no matter the circumstance. Since you placed yourself second in the appointment list and there are no patients with serious problems after you, I’ll make an exception this time. Don’t you dare do this again! Now, let me take a look at the patient.”
Liliath and Elsa stood to the side.
Biggie, who had a disguise on him, could be seen lying quietly on the bed. Tagore was right next to his head.
House frowned slightly. “What’s up with the cat? It looks like it’s seriously wounded as well. You do know that this isn’t a veterinary right?”
Neptune’s voice was then heard in Liliath’s ear. She said according to Neptune’s instructions, “That is our pet cat, Carter. Last night, we had only settled down in East Tower when my father said he wanted to take a walk with Carter. After we were done unpacking, we went out looking for them and found them like this. We immediately injected them with cell repair agents and conducted some emergency treatment. We brought them here after that.”
“No doctor in East Tower is capable of handling the severity of his broken bones.” House immediately started to diagnose Biggie’s body. He finally understood why the two little girls had come looking for him.
House was ranked top ten in the entire Faye Cosmic Nation, and it meant he was more capable compared to the normal surgeon. He was a Rank 13 Gene Body and had stronger psychokinesis than a demigod. He was capable of controlling three hundred psychokinetic silk threads at a time to work on things on a microscopic level. The psychokinetic silk threads were much more agile than his hands and were much more reliable.
“Adelin, push the patient into the operating room and prepare S Grade bone restructuring agent. Also, book the extra-large cell repair berth.” It had been more than a month since House handled such a complicated case, and he was feeling a little excited about it.
Biggie and Tagore were immediately pushed into the operating room.
The two girls sat outside the room and waited patiently.
House quickly got busy in the operating room. Numerous psychokinetic silk threads began to form as they entered Biggie’s body, feeling their way around inside of him, trying to search for any broken bone pieces and quickly putting them back together again. It was no doubt a major surgery. The bones in Biggie’s body had been broken into a few thousand pieces. Hence, House not only had to search for those thousands of pieces of bone, but he also had to put them back in the right place. It was like a jigsaw puzzle with thousands of little pieces made of different sizes, shapes, and materials.
Every day in Medicinal Stone had thirty-six hours. The time passed from 10 am to noontime at 18 pm. Eight hours had passed and the light on the operation room was still on.
“It’s going to be fine. He’s the best doctor, he’ll definitely be able to make Biggie and Tagore better. We haven’t had anything to eat since last night. I’ll go get something for us. What do you want?” Liliath tried to console Elsa who looked listless next to her.
“Just buy anything. I’m not that hungry now.” For Elsa, who never rejected food, to say something like that, it proved how depressed she was feeling.
“I’ll be back soon. Just wait here for me. Contact me immediately if there is any news,” Liliath said as she turned to leave.
House’s private clinic was not very big and was located next to a noisy market. It was very convenient when it came to shopping due to its nearby location. Not many were aware that he was the legendary doctor himself. Many were of the impression that he just happened to share the same name as the famous doctor. From a certain level, he was operating in semi-seclusion. He did not earn much money a year by helping common people with minor sicknesses. Nevertheless, his savings were actually enough for him to spend lavishly for the rest of his life.
Liliath simply brought some light food and drinks back to the clinic. She returned to her seat outside the operating room. The light of the room was still on. Liliath did not say anything much when she saw the look on Elsa’s face. Elsa took a piece of bread absent-mindedly and slowly chewed it in her mouth. Liliath ate silently as well as they waited patiently.
While House was busy operating on Biggie, Gu Ding’s body began to undergo even more changes on Golden Eagle. The golden Righteous Force within his body had completely transformed into a God Source. The power of his God Source surpassed those who were 1-Star Lower Ranking Deities, and the unlimited power was much closer to the strength of a 2-Star Lower Ranking Deity.
Gu Ding’s soul space had generated a Fire Star after the completion of his giant major circulation. If Neptune had seen it, he would immediately recognize it as the Ultra Fire spark created by cultivating the Sun Sutra to completion. However, instead of a golden-colored Star Fire, Gu Ding’s Ultra Fire spark was the same color as the black God Source within himself.
When the Fire Star appeared, the unknown black energy extended a tentacle that bypassed the obstacle’s physical surface and reached into Gu Ding’s soul space. It quickly surged into the black Fire Star. At that moment, the Fire Star began to burn furiously as if fueled by something. It quickly expanded from the size of a sesame seed into a black flame that was a few meters tall. It burned brightly and flickered within Gu Dign’s soul space. It was true Ultra Fire!
After Gu Ding’s Righteous Force had transformed into a God Source, the cells in his body seemed to have been triggered by an external force as they started to go into a frenzy and strengthened themselves through mitosis. The situation could be explained as direct mutation. Gu Ding’s Cell Index increased at a crazy speed from one million points to ten million points in under half an hour. Gu Ding, who had been stuck as a Rank 7 Gene Body, enhanced to Rank 8 as his gene shackle was unable to take the extreme pressure his body was going through.
The Cell Index within Gu Ding’s body continued to rise even after he had achieved a breakthrough and became a Rank 8 Gene Body. He managed to reach a hundred million points in an instant. At the same time, Gu Ding’s fourth gene chain took shape; an additional spiral gene chain was added to his original three.
The special thing about it was the segment on Gu Ding’s third gene chain that had previously undergone change because of the martial arts field began to undergo mutation once again as a branch appeared from it out of nowhere, connecting itself to Gu Ding’s fourth gene chain. It triggered the first half of the fourth gene chain’s segment to change. The black gene chain was not the only one that began to mutate. A few special ability chains within Gu Ding’s body also began undergoing different forms of change. All of them were major gene mutations.
By the time the mutations within Gu Ding’s body had stabilized, it was already 9 pm in the afternoon. The sky had just begun to turn dark.
Neptune had been trying to detect the changes within Gu Ding’s body. It finally managed to obtain data from Gu Ding’s body the moment the strange energy disappeared.
‘Name: Gu Ding’
‘Gender: Male’
‘Age: 15’
‘Gene Level: Rank 8’
‘Cell Index: 100 million’
‘Spirituality Index: 100 million’
‘Special Ability 1: Level 1 Advanced Rage Attack (Able to evolve)’
‘Special Ability 2: Level 3 High-Speed Regeneration (Able to evolve)’
‘Special Ability 3: Level 1 Advanced Damage Stacking (Curse Stream Ability) (Able to evolve)’
‘Special Ability 4: Absolute Seal (Level 2 taboo energy) (Able to evolve)’
‘Special Ability 5: Level 3 Advanced Iron Block (Able to evolve)’
‘Special Ability 6: Level 2 Advanced repulsive effect (Able to evolve)’
‘Special Ability 7: Level 1 martial arts domain (Able to evolve)’
‘Ability Description: Able to suppress 90% of the opponent’s strength and speed while enhancing one’s own strength and speed by ten times.’
‘Ability Limitations: Only able to be activated once every ten days’
Right then, Gu Ding finally opened his eyes, just in time to see Neptune’s projection.
He realized all his normal abilities had evolved into advanced versions. Even those that were previously advanced already had increased in strength by a whole level. Not only that, but his martial arts field had actually advanced to the point of martial arts domain. It could now suppress his enemy even more, and its numerous limitations had decreased to only one. By right, his combat effectiveness would only be enhanced by 10 million points, but now, it would be enhanced by 100 million points. Gu Ding’s combat effectiveness had experienced a huge spike.
While Gu Ding received good news, bad news came from Dr. House’s clinic.
The door of the operating room swung open and there was a grim look on Dr. House’s face.
Liliath and Elsa’s felt their hearts drop to their stomachs when they saw the look on his face.
“I’m sorry. The operation may have been a success, and I’ve successfully put together his bones and conducted reparative surgery on his internal organs. However, the God Source within his body is continuously destroying it. The damage caused by the God Source won’t stop spreading even within the cell repair berth. From the looks of how fast it is spreading, I estimate that he has less than a month to live. Only Her Highness The Lord, who is now a deity, is the only person in the entire Faye Cosmic Nation who might be able to do something about a wound like this.
“Additionally, that cat has a very special physique. I wanted to help by operating on it, but I was unable to break through its defense. I also found out that human medicine has no effect on its wounds. That is why I am unable to help it. I’m really sorry about this… However, it looks like its condition has not deteriorated. I think it’s going through self-healing. Its life isn’t in any danger for now.”
