Chapter 118 World Changes

(Two chapters in one)

From Su Mo's point of view, he certainly hopes that Dong Dong will redo the basic adaptive transformation so that she can better utilize her power.

But this is easy to say. It was not you who was stabbed, so how could you be generous to others?

Su Mo thought about it and decided to ask the client for his own opinion: "Dong dong, what do you think?"

Dongdong was lying on the bed, his legs swinging back and forth, looking careless: "Why are you asking me? You are the boss, you can do whatever you want."

Su Mo shook his head: "You were the one who got stabbed, not me. If it hurts you, I won't be so selfish as to help you make a decision."

Dong Dong turned his head away and said lazily: "Stop being pretentious. What you must be thinking is - from a long-term perspective, this operation is necessary."

"Then just do it. Don't worry about me. I'm not the kind of little girl who cries every time she gets an injection. I've been beaten since I was a child. I've been beaten so many times. I've long been used to the pain~"

Dongdong said it quite easily with a playful smile on his face.

But Su Mo knew that this heartless look was deliberately put on to show him, in order to prevent him from having too much pressure to make decisions.

Future's eyes flickered back and forth between the two, and he asked tentatively: "Then whose advice should I listen to?"

Dongdong got ahead of Su Mo and said, "Do it, hurry up, stop dilly-dallying, start early and finish early, hurry up, hurry up."

Su Mo also pursed his lips and nodded to the future.

In the future, he made a list and gave it to Su Mo: "Boss, help me buy something. These medicines and equipment are all needed for surgery."

Many of the items on the list were controlled drugs, and Su Mo went to the border black market to buy them all.

After Su Mo came back, Dongdong was pushed into the operating room, and the 18-hour awake surgery began.

Su Mo sat on the stairs leading to the basement, quietly waiting for the news.

Time becomes so slow, every minute and every second passes so long.

Gradually, as night fell, the noise of the outside world fell silent, and there was no sound from the laboratory.

Su Mo was sitting alone in the deep staircase corridor. He could hear his own heavy heartbeat, silent and anxious.

At some point, KK came to sit next to Su Mo and patted his shoulder gently, conveying silent comfort.

Su Mo nodded and continued waiting with KK.

Waiting until the next morning, the ordeal finally came to an end.

The door to the laboratory opened and Future walked out.

Su Mo quickly asked: "How is it?"

Future took off his protective mask, his expression as calm as ever, silently announcing the success of the operation.

She was silent for a moment, gave a thumbs up and said, "It's really hard. I didn't even cry out for 18 hours."

Su Mo and KK looked at each other.

Su Mo: "Can I go in and visit her?"

Mirai: "Okay, just don't touch the sutures on your body."

The two walked into the laboratory, and the smell of potion mixed with the smell of blood hit their nostrils.

Dongdong was lying on the medical bed, his body covered with bloody sutures, crisscrossed from head to toe, as if his body had been cut countless times.

Dongdong's eyes were half-opened and half-closed, paralyzed with weakness, and fluid mixed with blood flowed out from his panting mouth from time to time. The traces of tears left by excessive pain and stress could still be seen on his face.

Su Mo squatted beside the medical bed and asked softly: "Dong dong, are you okay?"

Dongdong gritted his teeth, his pale lips kept trembling, he just blinked, and tears overflowed uncontrollably.

She choked and uttered a few words: "It still hurts."

Su Mo suddenly felt sad.

Dongdong is the kind of girl who never admits defeat. Even if she is beaten to the ground, every part of her body will be soft, but her mouth will still be stubborn.

Now she couldn't hold her tongue and admitted with tears that it hurt. You can imagine how exaggerated the pain was.

Dongdong's body was covered with injuries, and Su Mo didn't dare to touch her. He could only say softly: "Be good, it's over now, have a good rest."

Dongdong closed her eyes, and the sedative injected in the future took effect, and she fell into a deep sleep.

In the world before Su Mo's time travel, after such a large-scale surgery covering the whole body, he would have to lie down for at least a month, and the time for complete recovery would be less than half a year.

But the Dawn World is different. It has advanced science and technology, extremely high medical technology, and many magical and powerful medicines.

Su Mo spent a lot of money to buy the best medicine for Dongdong to help him heal quickly after the surgery.

She regained consciousness the next day, and the wound was completely healed on the fifth day, with not even a scar visible.

At this time, the recovered Dongdong was sitting on the bed with a chicken leg in his left hand and a piece of bread in his right hand. He was eating and drinking with a great appetite and regained his former energy.

She took a bite of the chicken leg and asked KK while chewing: "Diao Donggua, your craftsmanship is really good, where did you learn it?"

In the past few days, the three of them have come to visit Dongdong frequently. She has become familiar with KK and Future, and has developed a bad street habit of giving people nicknames.

KK thought to himself: I am 156 after all. How come you, a 146 person, have the nerve to call me short winter melon?

He replied lazily: "I didn't know how to cook before, but neither did my eldest brother or the others in the future. I could only learn the recipes by myself. After a long time, I will be able to cook."

"Okay, okay, I'll make more in the future. I love eating." Dongdong ate and poked his head toward the door, "Where's the panda? When did she say I can go out? I haven't had a fight with anyone in a week, and my hands are itchy."

Future just happened to walk in, holding a test sheet and said: "The test results are out, all functions are normal, you can move around freely."

"Eha-" Dongdong jumped out of bed, did a somersault on the spot, and punched the air a few times.

She moved her body joints and looked around: "Why does it feel the same as before? Panda, you didn't trick me, did you?"

Future yawned with sleepy eyes: "There's no point in cheating you. I've adjusted your basic transformation to the best state. Whether it's the tolerance of the original body or the configuration parameters of the prosthetic body, it's perfect. ."

"You won't feel anything if you jump around now, but when you actually fight, especially after using a prosthetic body to fight, you will know how big the gap is between professional transformation and amateur transformation."

Dongdong thought for a while and asked with some embarrassment: "By the way, if I change all the parts of the original body into prosthetics in the future, will it turn into a robot full of iron like in the movie? That would be ugly."

Future said slowly: "Don't worry, prosthetic technology is very mature now, and perfect bionics can be achieved long ago."

"The bionic version of the prosthetic body can be made the same as the original body in appearance and feel. Even if you replace the whole body with a prosthetic body, the appearance can still be exactly the same as the original body."

Dongdong put his hands on his hips and smiled: "Then I can rest assured, otherwise Crescent City will lose an invincible and lovely beautiful girl~"

At this time, Su Mo walked in: "Hey, Dong Dong, can you get out of bed and move around?"

He handed over the long gift box in his hand and said with a smile: "Look what gift I brought you."

"What!" Dongdong took it and couldn't wait to open it.

When she saw what was inside, her eyes lit up: "Wow! Baseball bat!"

A bright silver baseball bat lay in the gift box, with a smooth surface and no scratches. The size was specially customized, and the circumference of the grip perfectly fit Dongdong's little hand.

She took out a baseball bat and waved it, smiling happily: "Boss, how do you know I like this?"

Su Mo thought to himself: Have you forgotten that you used this thing to ambush me 18 times?

And according to Dongdong herself, she actually has another real name. The reason why she changed her name to "Dongdong" is because she likes the "dong, dong" sound that a baseball bat makes when it is swung on a person's head.

After hearing this, Su Mo had only one thought - music.

At this time, Mirai's gaze was fixed, and he opened his eyes wide and asked: "What is the material of this baseball bat...Long Steel?"

Su Mo smiled and nodded.

Dongdong asked: "What is Longgang?"

Future praised: "This is a very strong special material that is often used in high-end military equipment. Let's put it this way, hitting this baseball bat with a large-caliber armor-piercing projectile will only leave a little white mark at most."

Dongdong gasped: "Boss, isn't this cheap?"

Materials that can be appreciated by the future are certainly not cheap.

A piece of dragon steel with the size of a baseball bat cost Su Mo more than one million.

Of course, it doesn't really matter whether it's money or not. Dongdong has gone through so much painstaking efforts in redoing and transforming her, so she must be rewarded with something.

Su Mo smiled and said: "The price is not bad, just use it as you like."

Dongdong has an outspoken personality and is not one to be polite to others. She waved her baseball bat and said excitedly: "Such a great weapon. I will use it well in the future and try to smash the heads of more enemies!"

Su Mo laughed.

"Ding ding ding." At this moment, his phone rang.

"You guys play first, I'll take a call."

He came to the living room with his mobile phone and answered the phone: "Hello?"

A man's enthusiastic voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, you are the famous Lao Su!"

"Ah?" Su Mo was confused by this opening statement.

I always feel like a bunch of dirty and tiring work will be thrown at me in the next second.

Su Mo: "Who are you?"

On the other end of the phone: "I'm Dres, Crescent City middleman."

Su Mo was stunned for a moment.

Dres!

The "D" on Ou Chenyu's mobile phone!

The last time Ou Chenyu intercepted the Hefei Company's transport team on the deserted stone highway, the mission named [Crazy Sand] in the game was sent by Dres.

Dres is a well-known middleman, and his status in the Crescent City mercenary world is no less than that of Odiana. Of course, Sumer was also very polite: "Oh, hello, hello, I have long admired your name."

Derleth is a familiar person with a somewhat flamboyant personality, and his tone is as if he is talking about family matters: "Little Anna gave me your number. I heard that your efficiency and quality of work are very good. How about it, are you interested in helping me? Do I work?"

In the mercenary world, there is competition between middlemen and intermediaries, but they also share each other's resources.

Today you recommend a reliable mercenary to me, and tomorrow I will introduce you to a cheerful employer. Cooperation and mutual benefit are very common.

For the vast majority of mercenaries, acceptance is free. There is no reason why they can only accept commissions from middleman A and cannot work for middleman B.

Unless it is an "exclusive mercenary", such as Nobai.

Nuobai was also a freelance mercenary at the beginning, dealing with all major middlemen.

Until she suffered from blood code dissociation syndrome, she signed an "exclusive agreement" with the middleman Mr. Tang in order to obtain genetically compiled proteins. From then on, she could only help Mr. Tang do things.

Normally, as long as an exclusive agreement is not signed, a mercenary helping one middleman will not cause dissatisfaction with the other.

However, if two intermediaries are involved in the same commission, or there is a conflict of interest, the mercenary must think carefully about his position. Of course, this is a special situation and not common.

Now, after O'Diana, there was a second well-known middleman who got in touch with him. Su Mo had no reason to refuse and agreed on the spot: "Of course I'm interested. What kind of commission? Tell me about the situation."

Dres laughed and said: "Aha! Old Su is really happy!"

"It's like this. The people of the Iron-Blooded Alliance have been expanding into a new borderland recently. They don't have enough internal manpower, so they have outsourced some work to mercenaries."

"I've been assigned a job. I have to organize an exploration team to go to a ruins that their internal code is TL730."

"I have already found a dozen people, all of whom are excellent mercenary rookies. I can add a few more to the team. It just so happened that little Anna recommended you to me again, so I came to ask if you are interested."

"The reward is very generous! If you die, your family will receive a pension. If you come back alive, the Iron-Blooded Alliance will give you a complete set of "Mysterious Cat Type" prosthetics, all of which are "Strictly Controlled Level 3" goods. "

Upon hearing the code name "TL730", Su Mo instantly found the corresponding information from the memory bank.

TL730

Isn't this the destination of the side mission [Into the Ruins] of the game "Dawn"?

According to normal procedures, this task should have been handed over to the Tooth Tiger Mercenary Group by Dres, and Ou Chenyu would be solely responsible for it. Why was it assigned to him?

And it shouldn’t happen at this time.

A word suddenly appeared in Su Mo's mind - world line changes!

The plot flow has been changed!

In the [Crazy Sand] mission on the deserted stone road, Ou Chenyu suffered heavy losses due to his own obstruction, and he must have had some disputes with Dres.

This caused a rift in the relationship between the two, causing a series of subsequent butterfly effects.

During this period of time, I clearly did not make any direct interference with the [Into the Ruins] mission.

But under the indirect influence of the [Crazy Sand] mission, the commission that was supposed to be sent to Ou Chenyu fell to him in advance!

The world line has changed!

Derleth didn't hear Su Mo's reply and asked aloud: "Hey Su, why don't you say anything? Are you not satisfied with the reward? Oh yes, I heard that you are the carrier of the crazy blood code and cannot use the prosthetic body."

"It's okay. You can keep the prosthetic body for your subordinates to use, or you can give it to me and I'll recycle it at the standard market price. How about that?"

Su Mo came to his senses and said with a smile: "No, I'm not dissatisfied. Can I bring a helper?"

Dres said cheerfully: "Of course, you are welcome."

Su Mo: "Okay, I'll take this job."

The reward for this commission, the "Mysterious Cat Type" prosthetic body, is a good thing. It is a very powerful melee-specific prosthetic body. It would cost several million to buy it on the black market.

In addition to the entrustment reward, Su Mo is more concerned about the contents of TL730.

[Into the Ruins] This branch line is recommended by many high-level players as a must-do task for land reclamation.

Because there is a weapon in the TL730.

A weapon that is ridiculously strong in the early game.
