Lu Yuan finally installed another leg for Seventh Brother.
However, in view of Seventh Brother's strong request, Lu Yuan slightly modified that other leg of the blood demon ape.
He modified it into a detachable bionic limb.
This task was not difficult for Lu Yuan either.
It was just to modify the part connecting the bionic limb to the body into a mechanical prosthesis, with the nerves and blood vessels inside replaced with mechanical ones, and finally adding a buckle.
Although he didn't understand what fetish Seventh Brother had, Lu Yuan would satisfy reasonable requests from patients if he could meet them.
Because of this incident, Lu Yuan was even more embarrassed to have ideas about hitting Seventh Brother’s belly.
The next morning, the Xia Group sent a car to pick up their employee for discharge from the hospital.
Before leaving, holding a leg of a blood demon ape, Seventh Brother solemnly bowed to Lu Yuan.
At this moment, hot tears flowed down the face of this seemingly silly and stupid young man.
He cried to Lu Yuan, who was only one or two years older than him, “Dr. Lu, tha-thank you...”
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't, don't, don't, you paid for it, I do business for money, don't thank me."
Seventh Brother shook his head with tears and pointed to the bionic limb in his hand. He said, "Dr. Lu, I'm not thanking you for this, I'm thanking you..."
"For giving me the opportunity to change my identity and start a new life."
Lu Yuan was taken aback. Just as he was thinking about what Seventh Brother meant by that, "Wa--!"
A sharp, wolf-like howl erupted from Seventh Brother's mouth, which was as abrupt and poignant as it could be, startling even the driver, Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen, somewhat at a loss, comforted, "Brother, do, do you want me to turn around and let you talk to Dr. Lu again?"
"No!!"
Seventh Brother, who was weeping loudly just a second ago, yelled at Xiao Chen the next second. He asked in a trembling voice, "Do you know how I got through these days?"
"I, I f**king crawled back from the gate of hell..."
...
Seeing Seventh Brother get into the Xia Group's car and leave, Lu Yuan felt relieved too.
According to convention, today was the clinic’s day off, as he had worked yesterday.
Liu Yuan was not working, so Lu Yuan could only go back to eat the breakfast made by the humanoid robot Zhang Fenglan.
In addition to Lu Yuan and Little Buddy eating breakfast in the dining room today, there was a third person.
It was the man in the old-fashioned suit who came out of underground room 0057 on basement level three.
Today he changed into another suit, still in the old world style, still exceptionally neat and tidy.
Lu Yuan sat opposite the man, eating steamed buns and porridge, chatting while eating.
"Master Huang Ming, how long have you been with me?"
There was a hint of recollection in Huang Ming's eyes. He smiled and said, "Five years, back then you were still a kid, no, you're still not very old now, with a grown body and great skills, but young in age."
Lu Yuan was focused on his food and did not get distracted by Huang Ming's vulgar joke.
"Master Huang, you've blocked the erosion of contaminated spiritual energy against your consciousness for five years, and you've regained your humanity. Have you ever thought about where to go and what to do after leaving here?"
Although Lu Yuan seemed to ask casually, Huang Ming was very serious.
He put down his bowl and chopsticks, thought carefully for a while before answering Lu Yuan, "You also know my abilities. I think, after going out, I’ll be a demon hunter."
Huang Ming’s answer surprised Lu Yuan a bit.
Lu Yuan knew Huang Ming’s ability was keen perception of spiritual energy.
Within a certain range around Huang Ming, any slightest ripple of spiritual energy could be sensed by him.
After this ability was copied to Lu Yuan, it brought him no small help.
But after all, that was just a reconnaissance skill.
And a demon hunter, bluntly speaking, is a mercenary who specializes in killing humanoid creatures eroded by contaminated spiritual energy.
This mercenary was obviously much more powerful than ordinary mercenaries. Not just anyone could do this job.
But it was also the profession with the highest mortality rate at present.
So what were "humanoid creatures eroded by contaminated spiritual energy”?
What Lu Yuan kept in the basement warehouses on the third underground floor were all that kind.
Huang Ming himself was one of them before.
Such creatures were also called infected ones, or contaminants.
Zombie infectors like Xiao Yi were just one type of infectors, not all.
At this time, Lu Yuan's gaze at Huang Ming gradually became complicated. "Master Huang, the probability of people who were once infectors getting infected by contaminated spiritual energy again is much higher than that of normal people."
Huang Ming nodded. "I know, but Dr. Lu..."
"My hometown and family were destroyed early in the nuclear winter. I have no ties or goals."
"I was trapped in the contaminated spiritual energy source for over a hundred years. Although the contaminated spiritual energy kept me young forever, it turned me from a human into a monster."
"It was you who pulled me out of the contaminated source at first, and helped me get rid of the erosion of spiritual energy. Frankly speaking, I owe this life to you."
"I really want to stay by your side and help you, but I know you can't have an ex-infector on your medical staff."
"Because you have to be responsible for your patients."
"So I decided to do the same thing as you, to save and relieve more infectors."
"Of course I won't work alone. I plan to form a team."
Lu Yuan's eyes swept over the upper body of Huang Ming, which he had dissected before.
Lu Yuan remembered very clearly that it was when dissecting Huang Ming that he obtained the first gynecological medical knowledge.
It made it difficult for him to forget.
Lu Yuan lowered his head to finish his food, got up to leave, and left a sentence for Huang Ming as he walked away: "Next month, I’ll give you a little gift."
"Consider it my equity investment in your demon hunting organization."
Hearing Lu Yuan say this so abruptly, Huang Ming excitedly got up and said, "Dr. Lu, keep the shares for yourself. I'll pay you the market price!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand without saying anything and walked straight out of the dining room. He still had two very happy things to do today.
The corpses of two ability users, Boss and Fifth Brother, were now quietly lying on the operating table in operating room No. 3 waiting for Lu Yuan's arrival.
That’s right, some people just liked “opening” people alive.
Whether opening one or on the way to opening one.

【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
