Bad News
House was a slightly thin, Middle-Aged Man with a full white beard and slightly messy, curly short hair. He glared at Liliath and Elsa, and immediately questioned them, "You must have hacked into our system and moved your appointment to second place, right?! I check our appointment list every day before I leave work, and I clearly remember the order of patient appointments before I left yesterday."
Liliath knew she couldn't deny it anymore, so she reacted immediately, "Doctor, please save our father, we had no other choice..."
As she was speaking, her tear ducts burst forth like a river that had broken its banks.
Elsa, who was standing to the side, was stunned by Liliath's reaction. She didn't have Liliath's acting skills and couldn't squeeze out any tears. She could only stare at the doctor with her innocent big eyes and pretend to be pitiful.
On one side, there was a barrage of tears; on the other, a gaze from two pitifully innocent, wide eyes. And the attackers were two irresistibly cute little lolis.
Even House, who is usually aloof, was completely swayed by this situation.
"Alright, alright, stop crying." House said with a stern face, "If you had put yourselves before that heart patient, I would never have accepted you as patients today. But you put yourselves second, and there are no other patients with serious problems after you. I'll make an exception for you this time, but don't do it again! Okay, let me see the patient."
Liliath and Elsa then stepped aside.
On the hospital bed, Bigge, now wearing a mask, lay quietly, with Tagore lying beside his head.
"What happened to this cat? It looks badly injured too." House frowned slightly. "This isn't a pet hospital."
At this moment, Liliath heard the Sea Emperor's voice in her ear. She explained according to the Sea Emperor's instructions, "This cat is our pet Carter. Last night, we had just settled in on East Tower Star when Father said he would take Carter out for a walk. When we went out to look for them after we finished getting ready, we found them like this. So we immediately injected them with Cellular Repair Agent and performed emergency treatment before coming here to find you."
"With his bones shattered to this extent, there are indeed no doctors on East Tower Star who can treat him." House immediately began examining Bigge's body. He also knew why the two little girls had come to him.
Ranking among the top ten in the Fei Me Universe Country, House's skills naturally extend far beyond simple surgical techniques. He is also a Thirteenth-Order Gene Body, possessing Mind Power comparable to a demigod, capable of simultaneously controlling three hundred Nen threads for microscopic manipulation. To him, these Mind Power threads are even more dexterous and reliable than his own hands.
"Adeline, wheel him into the operating room, then prepare an S-Grade Bone Reconstruction Agent for me, and also order an extra-large Cell Repair Pod." House hadn't handled such a challenging case in over a month, and he seemed quite excited.
Bigge and Tagore were immediately wheeled into the operating room.
The two women sat outside the operating room, waiting patiently.
Inside the operating room, House quickly sprang into action. Invisible threads of telekinesis pierced through Bigge's body, searching for and rapidly piecing together various bone fragments. The operation was undoubtedly massive. Bigge's bones had shattered into thousands of pieces, and House not only had to find these fragments but also assemble them in the correct positions—it felt like playing a jigsaw puzzle with thousands of pieces of varying sizes and shapes.
The rotation time of Medicine Stone Star is thirty-six hours. From 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, a full eight hours passed, and the operating room lights remained on.
"Everything will be alright. This doctor is the best; he can definitely cure Bigge and Tagore." Liliath comforted Elsa, who was sitting listlessly beside her. "We haven't eaten anything since last night. I'll go buy something to eat. What would you like to eat?"
"Just buy something, I'm not hungry right now." Elsa, who usually has no resistance to food, said this, which was a clear sign that she was very depressed.
"I'll be right back. You wait here and let me know immediately if there's any news," Liliath said, turning and leaving.
House's private clinic, located next to a bustling downtown area, isn't large. Its location makes shopping nearby very convenient. In fact, not many people know he's the legendary doctor; most assume he just shares the same name. In a sense, he lives a semi-reclusive life, treating ordinary people with minor ailments, earning very little over the year. However, his savings are more than enough for him to live a life of luxury.
Liliath simply bought some light food and drinks and returned to the clinic. She sat down outside the operating room, the lights still on. Seeing Elsa's expression, Liliath didn't ask any questions. Elsa simply took a piece of bread and slowly began to eat. Liliath also silently ate her own food, patiently continuing to wait.
While House Bigge the clinic, on the Golden Eagle, Gu Ding's body was also undergoing changes. The Golden Gang Force within him was finally and completely transformed into divine source. The sheer power of that divine source far surpassed that of even the One-Star Low-rank God, approaching the strength of Two-Star Low-rank God.
After that massive cycle was formed, a Mars automatically erupted in Gu Ding's Soul Space. If the Sea Emperor had seen it, he would have known that it was a divine fire seed produced after the Sun Sutra was pushed to its limit. However, this fire seed was different from the golden color of the Starfire; instead, it was black, just like the divine source within Gu Ding's body.
After Mars appeared, the unknown black energy source extended a tentacle, directly penetrating the barrier of the material plane and entering Gu Ding's Soul Space, rapidly surging towards the black Mars. In an instant, the Mars, as if given fuel, burst into flames. From its original sesame seed size, it rapidly expanded into a Black Flame several meters high, flickering erratically within the Soul Space —it was true divine fire!
After the Gang Jin was completely transformed into Divine Source, the cells in Gu Ding's body seemed to have been stimulated by some external force, and began to automatically strengthen and even mutate wildly. The original Cell Comprehensive Index of 1 million points soared to 10 million points in less than half an hour, and the Gene Lock had trapped Gu Ding at the Seventh Order of gene structure finally succumbed to the impact of energy and collapsed, allowing Gu Ding to enter the eighth level.
Upon entering the Eighth Order Gene Body, Gu Ding's Cell Comprehensive Index surged again, reaching a staggering 100 million points. Simultaneously, the fourth gene chain rapidly condensed, transforming the original triple helix structure into a quadruple helix.
Even more remarkably, the Gene Segment on the third Gene Chain, mutated again due to the Martial Dao Force Field, branching off and embedding itself into the fourth gene chain, causing a change in a Gene Segment of the fourth gene chain as well. Furthermore, besides the black Gene Chain, the chains of several other special abilities within Gu Ding's body simultaneously underwent various forms of change, all involving large segments of the genes.
By the time the changes within Gu Ding's body had completely stabilized, it was already nine o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was just beginning to darken.
Sea Emperor had been trying to detect changes in Gu Ding's body, so he detected Gu Ding's physical data the instant the strange energy source disappeared:
Name: Gu Ding
Gender: Male
Age: 15
[Gene Level: Eighth Tier]
[Cell Comprehensive Index: 100 million]
[Mental Strength Index: 100 million]
Special Ability 1: Level 1 Advanced Berserk (Evolvable)
[Special Ability 2: ** High-Speed Regeneration (Evolvable)**
Special Ability 3: Level 1 Advanced Damage Stacking (Curse Ability) (Evolvable)
[Special Ability 4: Absolute Seal (Level Two Taboo Power) (Evolvable)]
Special Ability 5: ** Advanced Iron Block (Evolvable)**
[Special Ability 6: Level 2 Advanced Attraction and Repulsion Force (Evolvable)]
[Special Ability 7: One-Star Martial Dao Domain (Evolvable)]
[Ability Description: Suppresses the opponent's strength and speed by 90%, while increasing one's own strength and speed tenfold.]
[Ability Limitation: Can only be activated once every ten days]
At this moment, Gu Ding finally opened his eyes and saw the projection released by the Sea Emperor.
He discovered that all his original ordinary abilities had evolved into advanced abilities. Even his original advanced abilities had advanced a level. Not only that, his original Martial Dao Force Field had directly evolved into Martial Dao Domain, not only increasing its suppression of opponents but also reducing the many limitations on its use to just one. His base Combat Strength, which should have only increased to 10 million points, was directly boosted to 100 million points. This time, Gu Ding's Combat Strength had truly exploded.
However, while they were seeing good news about Gu Ding, Doctor House's clinic was receiving some bad news.
The operating room door was pushed open, and Doctor House's expression was somewhat grave.
His expression plunged Liliath and Elsa into despair.
"I'm sorry, although the surgery was very successful, I successfully pieced together his bones and repaired his internal organs. However, the residual divine source in his body is still constantly damaging him. Even in the Cell Repair Pod, the destructive range of the divine source is still slowly expanding. At the current rate, I estimate that he will not live for more than a month. In the entire Fei Me Universe Country, only the ruler who has become a god might have a way to treat his injuries."
"Also, that cat has a very special constitution. I wanted to perform surgery on it, but I couldn't break through its defenses at all. I also discovered that human medications have no effect on its injuries. So, I'm powerless to help. I'm truly sorry... However, its injuries haven't worsened; I suspect it's undergoing self-repair, and its life shouldn't be in danger anytime soon." (To be continued.)
