Late at night, in a deluxe Medical Pod in Herta Space Station's Support Cabin.
Lin Feng lay quietly on the luxurious hospital bed with his eyes closed. The torn wounds on his body had already healed. Bare-chested, he had sculpted muscles, and the scars scattered across his skin only added to his imposing, heroic air.
Herta Space Station's medical department had a wealth of cutting-edge equipment. For external injuries, they used Nanogel and a Radiation Light-Wave Instrument.
In this age of interstellar technology, humanity had long since stopped relying on conventional medicines, instead using peripheral technologies derived from life technology.
To match the effects of the treatment, Lin Feng also adjusted the Holographic Real-Image Creator to restore his body's appearance.
"Station Manager Asta, Mr. Lin Feng should be out of danger now..."
"His regenerative ability seems to far exceed that of ordinary humans. Recovering to this extent in just a few hours has broken every record from our previous cases."
The doctor in a pure-white uniform pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and delivered his report with a serious expression.
Hmm? Did I make it too fast? It should be fine, though. A Stellaron vessel isn't an ordinary person to begin with...
That was what Lin Feng thought upon hearing the doctor's report, and he dismissed the matter.
His time was limited. He had no time to lie around slowly recovering. Getting out there and earning Path Simulation Points sooner was what really mattered.
After exchanging points for an item earlier, he only had 600 Path Simulation Points left, not even enough to reach the threshold for an A-Rank evaluation.
"You've done good work, staying so late... Upload the medical staff roster tomorrow, and the station will issue you bonuses. Same as always... put it down as my personal assistance. The funding approval process is far too much trouble!"
Asta nodded slightly as she spoke, her expression earnest.
"Hahaha... Then I'll gladly accept. Of course, saving lives and treating injuries is our medical department's duty in the first place..."
The doctor in the white uniform wore a thoroughly pleased smile.
Station Manager Asta had always been generous. Just thinking about that sizable bonus filled him with delight.
"By the way... since his injuries have healed, why hasn't Lin Feng woken up yet?"
"Station Manager Asta, Mr. Lin Feng has just been through an extremely intense battle. I imagine he's simply exhausted."
"He should definitely wake up after getting some quiet rest..."
The doctor furrowed his brow and spoke with absolute confidence.
He could tell how much Asta valued this young man, so he naturally dared not take the matter lightly.
"All right, I understand... You and the medical team's nurses can leave. I'll look after the patient."
Her delicate brows drew together slightly, and a hint of an unusual expression crossed her lovely face as Asta dismissed them.
"It's already very late. You should get some rest soon, Station Manager Asta. Staying up late is bad for a girl's skin..."
"Please leave Mr. Lin Feng's care to our Seventh Medical Team!"
The attending physician spoke with a serious expression. Opportunities to distinguish himself before Station Manager Asta were rare, and he intended to seize this one.
Perhaps this opportunity would earn him a promotion and a raise, letting him become a supervisor or even the head of the medical department.
"It's all right... I just want to spend a little time alone with Lin Feng."
"He's the hero who protected Herta Space Station. Doing this little thing for him is hardly worth mentioning..."
Her gaze settled on Lin Feng's handsome profile, and the corners of Asta's lips lifted into a faint, tender smile.
Adjusting his black-rimmed glasses, the tall, thin attending physician hurriedly waved to the others and led the entire medical team out.
After working at Herta Space Station for so long, he had no business being a team leader if he couldn't take a hint like that.
At last, the deluxe Medical Pod fell completely silent, leaving only Asta keeping quiet vigil and Lin Feng lying on the bed.
Under the warm, gentle light, the beautiful girl with long pink hair sat on the edge of the bed, cupping her lovely cheeks in both hands. Her clear, pale-blue eyes were like a pristine lake as she quietly watched the sleeping man right beside her.
Her fitted uniform dress traced her slender, upright figure. Her exposed collarbones and shoulders, with their smooth, fair skin, were almost dazzling.
The hem of her dress, patterned with intersecting golden rings, was very short. Her long, pale, shapely legs were slightly raised, bending the pale-gold band around her thigh and lending her an air of elegance and allure.
"Hey, hey... Can you hear me, Lin Feng?"
"Just as I thought... still asleep."
Asta waved her slender, jade-like hand in front of Lin Feng's face a few times, checking his condition once more.
"In that case... how about I give you a little physical examination?"
Biting her rosy lip lightly, the girl with long pink hair looked somewhat apprehensive.
As she continued sitting beside his bed, Lin Feng somehow seemed to grow more attractive in Asta's eyes.
His handsome face and sharply defined abs were particularly quick to draw her attention.
It felt as though Lin Feng possessed some sort of magic that made her want to draw closer despite herself.
Even though she knew there was something special between March 7th and Lin Feng, she found it hard to resist this inexplicable attraction.
Her heartbeat gradually quickened. After a moment's hesitation, Asta reached out her delicate hand and rested it on Lin Feng's muscular body.
"Ooh... so this is what it feels like. So firm..."
"His heartbeat is nice and steady... It looks like Lin Feng is out of danger."
Her long, slender fingers glided over Lin Feng's abs before settling on his chest. Feeling his heartbeat, Asta nodded quietly, a faint smile appearing on her pretty face.
"I'm getting a little sleepy... Maybe I'll rest for a while? Lin Feng hasn't woken up yet, anyway..."
Murmuring softly, Asta bent forward slightly and rested her cheek directly on Lin Feng's chest, then closed her eyes with a contented expression.
The delicate scent of perfume filled the air. Asta's warm, soft cheek rested against his chest, accompanied by warm breaths as fragrant as an orchid in a secluded valley. Lin Feng felt a tantalizing itch in his heart and grew restless all over.
Man, earning those Path Simulation Points really isn't easy. Not only do I have to play dead, I also have to deal with a beautiful, wealthy girl tempting me.
He hadn't noticed during his previous Path Simulations that Asta was such a gentle, considerate girl.
Asta... In that case, don't blame me for helping myself.
I have to find some way to earn back the points I lost. I'll start with you!
Only kids choose. As an adult, I want it all!
His barely open eyes flicked upward. Seeing the beautiful station manager using him as a body pillow, Lin Feng's lips curled into a knowing smile.
At that moment, the girl with long pink hair wore a sweet smile, believing she was enjoying a peaceful moment, unaware that she had already fallen into Lin Feng's clutches.
