Chapter 1 The Task Ends

The mobile task force was responsible for cleaning up the scene, scanning for abnormal energy fluctuations in the area to ensure nothing was missed.

Li Ang and Wang Congshan boarded a helicopter and flew towards Yin City.

In fact, each branch of the Special Affairs Bureau had teleportation arrays set up inside.

However, when using the teleportation array, like the Stargate, there was a setting: the higher the life essence level of the teleporter, the more energy consumed.

Wang Congshan was okay, but if Li Ang wanted to use the teleportation array, he would have to drain at least half of the local branch's high-level energy storage.

It was better to take a plane. Anyway, Yin City wasn't far.

In the sky, the helicopter's propeller blades rotated at high speed, creating noise.

Li Ang glanced at the gradually shrinking, quiet street scene below, his mind filled with the ebb and flow of psionic energy.

Since completely resolving the turmoil caused by his past experiences, his mind and thoughts had become much clearer.

His psychic abilities had risen sharply. Fifth-level abilities such as Energy Suppression, High-Level Domination, Psionic Resonance, and Mind Probe could be used skillfully and were no longer as strenuous as before.

He had begun to gradually learn the sixth-level psychic abilities of the Mind Enchantment school—Transformation Aura, Mass Suggestion, and Mind Exchange.

Among them, Transformation Aura could alter the subject's physical and mental characteristics, fundamentally twisting their minds.

This transformation was permanent.

If the subject was weak, had a weak will, and no other psionic user could see the problem, they might never discover the traces of the transformation in their lifetime.

Mass Suggestion was an upgraded version of the second-level ability Suggestion, with a wider range and longer duration.

It also belonged to the type that was released once and took effect for a long time.

If Li Ang wanted to, he could suggest an entire school of people at once, making them believe that he attended class on time every day, without noticing anything unusual.

Mind Exchange, on the other hand, allowed him to exchange minds with a subject who could not resist sixth-level psionic energy.

In some very special situations, it could produce miraculous effects.

Li Ang felt the surge of psionic energy, exhaled, and looked at Wang Congshan, saying, "You've reached level 7 now, right?"

"Yeah."

Wang Congshan nodded. "Lv7, experience bar.

Attributes are,

Strength: 7

Agility: 7

Intelligence: 6

Constitution: 7

Perception: 6

Charm: 7.

Free attribute points, a total of 7 points."

When she first became a player, Wang Congshan's basic attributes were 5 points for Strength, Agility, and Constitution, 6 points for Intelligence and Perception, and 7 points for Charm.

After training, strengthening, and the assistance of magic potions, Strength, Agility, and Constitution had each increased by two points.

Moreover, she hadn't used any of the free attribute points she had gained during leveling up.

"Seven attribute points... that's enough."

Li Ang nodded and looked at Xing Hechou, who was sitting next to him. "Have your people start preparing."

Xing Hechou nodded solemnly, picked up the communication device, and communicated with his colleagues at the Yin City Special Affairs Bureau headquarters.

Soon, the helicopter entered the urban area of Yin City, flew over towering city buildings that seemed like the creations of gods, and landed on the Special Affairs Bureau's helipad.

The three walked into the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters and arrived at the Level 3 laboratory of the research department on the seventh floor.

The security level of this area was extremely high. Ordinary staff couldn't even take a peek.

The three used their passes to pass through more than a dozen security doors of different specifications and entered the central area of the laboratory.

The central area was particularly lively today. Thousands of researchers, medical staff, think tanks, and others were already in place, debugging various instruments.

According to the plan, after Wang Congshan reached level 7, Li Ang would perform body enhancements for her, raising her attributes to 11 points, and then bind her with the two items Planeswalker's Lingering Spark and Cardinal Cube.

Since Planeswalker's Lingering Spark was a perfect-level seed of power, with its own complete power system,

and the Cardinal Cube was an epic-level magic item with the special property of devouring other items,

there was a small possibility of accidents occurring during the binding process.

Li Ang had reached a deal with the Special Affairs Bureau. He would pay a portion of the finished medical attribute magic potions, seeds, and recipes to the Special Affairs Bureau,

and the Special Affairs Bureau would send a professional team to protect Wang Congshan during the binding process to prevent accidents,

and also observe the energy fluctuations caused by the binding of the epic item.

Because of the precious nature of medical attribute magic potions (they could be effective on ordinary people),

the Special Affairs Bureau would also pay Li Ang an additional reward to expand the area of the Immaculate Furnace shop.

It seemed that it would still take some time for the on-site personnel to complete their preparations.

Li Ang and Wang Congshan logged into the game square and went straight to the Immaculate Furnace shop.

During this period, he had been too lazy to respond to the overtures of various organizations, and had hardly even entered the game square.

Those organizations probably understood his intentions as well, and no longer sent people to guard the shop entrance 24 hours a day.

Therefore, there were only a few customers looking at goods in the shop now, and Laura, sitting behind the cashier counter, was boredly reading comics.

"Boss!"

Seeing Li Ang's iconic dragon head white coat, Laura, whose mental age was still that of a child, immediately stood up nervously.

The few customers in the shop also looked over curiously.

"I brought a friend to take a look. You continue to watch the store."

Li Ang nodded casually, and led Wang Congshan, who was wearing a tiger mask and looking around like a curious baby, into the surgery room behind the Immaculate Furnace.

"This is where you usually work?"

Wang Congshan curiously scrutinized the surgery room. "It feels kind of weird."

The walls of the surgery room were covered with white tiles. The incandescent lights hanging from the ceiling were neither bright nor dim. There was no excessive furniture in the room,

except for a bookshelf containing surgery materials, a cabinet containing biological materials, and tables and chairs.

There was only a green sterile surgical bed in the center of the room, a small cart with surgical tools next to the surgical bed, and a particularly abrupt pure white bathtub.

The constant sunlight generated by the game square shone into the surgery room through the square windows on the wall,

and the surrounding area was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

The entire room was clearly clean and tidy, but it had a sinister and terrifying atmosphere,

like the basement of a mad scientist conducting forbidden experiments.

"Really? It's okay."

Li Ang took off the dragon head mask, put on goggles, a mask, and rubber gloves, and said casually, "This room is specially used for body modifications for customers.

There hasn't been a single medical accident since opening. All customers are very satisfied and praise my medical skills..."

"What is this?"

Wang Congshan stood in front of the cabinet, opened the door, and saw hundreds of brown-yellow glass bottles of various sizes, each filled with preservative solution.

Floating inside were a bunch of deformed organs such as heterochromatic eyeballs, brain tissue with tumors, and overlapping and proliferating fingers and toes.

"Ah!"

Wang Congshan's hand trembled, and she almost dropped the brown glass bottle on the ground.

Li Ang calmly said while putting on rubber gloves, "Oh, this?

The customers who come to my shop have different purposes.

Some people want to replace better body parts, some have suffered serious injuries or vicious curses, and some want to gain stronger power through modification.

It's a bit of a waste to throw away their original organs directly,

so I simply keep some special and collectible organs as collections. Maybe they can be recycled for the next surgery to save costs."

"These things can be recycled?"

Wang Congshan opened her mouth and was dumbfounded. "Aren't you afraid that customers will find out that you're installing defective products for them, and they'll be angry and tear down your store?"

"What defective products? As long as they can be used."

Li Ang said casually, "I'll erase the rejection reaction of the organs during the surgery, ensuring that there's no difference from the original ones.

And using recycled organs can save customers money. They're happy about it—not everyone has conditions and resources as good as yours.

As for tearing down the store or extortion...

Heh, I dare them."

Li Ang, like a black-hearted shopkeeper who specializes in scamming customers, curled his lips righteously.

He squatted down, pressed his palm to the ground, and casually created a larger bathtub, poured blood plasma concentrate created by the Zerg nest into it, and said to Wang Congshan, "Okay, lie down."

"Uh..."

Wang Congshan looked at the bathtub full of scarlet blood and hesitated. "Do I need to change into a hospital gown..."

"No, just lie down directly."

Li Ang waved his hand casually. His biological modification technology had long reached the point where he could perform surgery even through clothes.

"Okay..."

Wang Congshan nodded, took off the tiger mask, and lay down in the bathtub, and unexpectedly found that the blood plasma concentrate had a certain temperature, and was not as cold and piercing as she had imagined.

"Ready?"

Li Ang asked, and after receiving Wang Congshan's affirmative answer, he took out a white cloth from his inventory, ready to cover Wang Congshan's face.

Wang Congshan subconsciously blocked it with her hand. "Wait, what are you doing covering my face with a white cloth?!"

"To make you more comfortable."

Li Ang held up the white cloth and said righteously, "Like soaking in a hot spring, covering your face with a white cloth is to let you close your eyes and enjoy it silently.

During the modification process, the customer's body will undergo a series of changes. If they see it, it may have a certain psychological shadow."

"...It feels kind of weird."

Wang Congshan smacked her lips, but still covered her face with the white cloth at Li Ang's urging.

As soon as the scene in front of her was blocked,

Wang Congshan heard a low and sonorous Buddhist sound in the room.

"Namo, Ratna, Trayaya."

"Namo, Arya, Avalokiteshvara, Bodhisattva."

Accompanying the Buddhist sound was a series of loud crying sounds.

"Ah! How terrible!"

"What a good person, how could they just leave like this!"

"Wuwuwu! What will we do after you leave!"

???

Wang Congshan ripped off the white cloth,

only to see that Li Ang had taken out two tape recorders at some point.

One tape recorder was playing the Great Compassion Mantra for liberation,

and the other tape recorder was playing the sound of mourning.

And he even had a triangular white mourning cap on his head.

"Are you liberating me here?"

Wang Congshan stared at Li Ang with dead fish eyes, and stretched out her right hand from the edge of the bathtub, pressing the recorder button to stop the Great Compassion Mantra and the mourning music.

"No,"

Li Ang straightened the white hat on his head and explained seriously, "This is our shop's regular procedure.

After entering the operating room, customers undergo comprehensive transformation and are reborn,

which is equivalent to ushering in a new life.

Playing the Great Compassion Mantra and mourning music is to commemorate the death of the past mortal stage.

It is a solemn and sacred ceremony.

Is there any problem?"

"...Then, is this also part of the ceremony?"

Wang Congshan's eyes twitched, and her finger pointed to a 12.9-inch tablet computer placed on the table.

The screen of the tablet computer showed a black and white photo of Wang Congshan smiling,

and in front of the tablet computer were candles and three fruit plates containing apples, oranges, and pears.

"Yes."

Li Ang nodded and said, "Putting up a photo of the customer's smile,

so that the customer can see their smile after waking up and stay in a good mood.

The three fruit plates can be eaten after the operation to quickly restore nutrition.

Very scientific and reasonable."

"Reasonable my ass, it's clearly an underworld project."

Wang Congshan rolled her eyes. "Can you do something more yang-like?"

"Yang-like?"

Li Ang frowned slightly, thought carefully for a while, and took out ten small sun electric heaters from the sodium ring and placed them around the bathtub.

He plugged in the power and turned them on all at once.

All the small sun heaters immediately emitted intense light and heat, illuminating the room as bright as day.

Wang Congshan lay in the glittering bloody bathtub, smacked her lips, and finally rolled her eyes and lay down.

"Are you ready?

Now add the 7 free attribute points on your body to Strength, Agility, Constitution, Perception, and Intelligence.

Reach Strength: 9

Agility: 9

Intelligence: 7

Constitution: 8

Perception: 7

Charm: 7."

Li Ang restrained the frivolous expression on his face and followed the original plan, letting Wang Congshan prepare for the strengthening.

When everything was ready, he gently immersed his palm into the bathtub blood plasma and shook hands with Wang Congshan.

The biological template and swamp divine power were activated at the same time.

A large number of silk-like plant threads penetrated Wang Congshan's skin surface, emitting anesthetic ingredients, so that she could not feel the changes in her body, but only felt that her skin was slightly itchy.

Soon even this slight itching was covered by the warmth brought by the small sun electric heater.

The thick blood plasma in the bathtub slowly churned, and Wang Congshan's body was undergoing subtle changes.

The whole process was silent.

By the time the Great Compassion Mantra audio had been played twice in a loop,

Li Ang slowly exhaled a turbid breath and turned off the tape recorder.

"Okay."

Li Ang pulled Wang Congshan out of the bathtub that was now only filled with clean water, and casually evaporated the moisture on her body with swamp divine power.

"Is it done?"

Wang Congshan, who had been in a drowsy state all along, shook her head,

only to see Li Ang take out a heavy sandbag from the sodium ring and hang it from the ceiling. "Punch this."

"Huh?"

Wang Congshan had not yet recovered from the slight anesthesia. Hearing Li Ang's words, she subconsciously used half her strength and punched out.

Bang!

The sandbag woven from tough hemp rope flew out heavily, hit the wall, and broke open.

The sand rustled down,

scattered all over the ground.

"Strength 11, close to 12, not bad."

Li Ang nodded and patted Wang Congshan's shoulder, who was stunned. "Let's go, don't let the Special Affairs Bureau wait too long."
