"Comprehensive evaluation complete. The damage level of your full-body alchemical implants has exceeded 35%. Precision repair mode has been activated for you. All repairs and recharging are expected to be completed in fifteen minutes. During this period, please remain conscious at all times and beware of Living Alchemy Energy going out of control."
The icy alert sounded. Qiu Xinli lay inside the pod, staring at the blue-glowing ceiling as she felt abundant Alchemy Energy pour into her body and begin repairing it. Her heart gradually settled as well.
The vexation caused by her failed operation, which had resulted from underestimating Nightless Sky Fire Apricot's strength, slowly dissipated.
After all, the "full examination, repair, and maintenance" after an especially major operation was like a massage and spa treatment to Qiu Xinli—extremely comfortable and relaxing.
For Qiu Xinli, whose entire body had undergone Alchemy Surgery and implantation almost everywhere, most forms of "sensory stimulation" simply did not exist.
This was one of the few kinds of "physiological comfort" she could enjoy.
Of course, if the cost of these fifteen minutes of enjoyment were calculated, it would probably exceed the entertainment expenses of any executive in Divine Power Group.
After all, the alchemical implants throughout Qiu Xinli's body were the most advanced models, and some had never even entered mass production.
The equipment had been designed solely to maximize its "effectiveness," without considering "durability" or "repair costs." The expense of maintaining it could practically be described as "terrifying."
Even though she had merely gone out for a round this time and had not suffered much actual damage, natural wear alone had already exceeded thirty percent. A large amount of alchemical materials and Alchemy Energy was needed for a comprehensive repair.
And that did not even include the construction cost of the repair pod
