Chapter 116: The Strong Man Breaks His Hand
Qian Jing returned to Earth, to be precise, he stood on a sword that could travel through the world, and was taken to the base of the relevant department by a sword immortal. Along the way, he maintained a rare composure and silence - if Qian Jing was not immersed in thinking about the "intercity bomb" and the relationship behind it, he would definitely cry out for such an adventure.
It's a sci-fi office building that's 200 stories high, with soft lighting and a year-round comfortable temperature. Starting from the waist of the building, there are many platforms that protrude outward, and many different styles of aircraft are parked. The 547 occupies the largest platform, with crews carrying supplies up and down; a black, white-sailed wooden three-masted pirate ship from the Age of Discovery, staggering in mid-air, like a drunken fellow, would have fallen and broken if it hadn't been tied with a large number of ropes; a smaller platform was littered with dirty brooms and dusty blankets, presumably on which floor were being cleaned up; and a fleshy giant green bug, curled up holding a platform, snoring and sleeping. It has an airbag-like space on its back, wrapped in a yellow, translucent film, and contains a number of standard containers.
Lu Jianxian stepped on the flying sword, stopped on the smallest platform, and said to the two passengers, "It's here." Captain Liu, take him to the medical room quickly, his hand is in very bad condition. I'm going to do my homework, and I'm always called for something. With that, he turned his feet around and turned into a sword light and flew away.
"Come, I'll hold you. Liu Su was just about to put the money mirror up, but he was gently pushed away.
"Thank you, Captain Liu, I can go by myself. After Qian Jing finished speaking, he took off his mask and let it hang around his neck, and then pulled open the thermal suit with one hand and took out the infantile Raisa. Raisa's eyeballs rolled under her eyelids, as if she was not used to the sudden brightening of the environment, and raised a small hand to cover her eyes. She was so sleepy that she seemed to forget to eat and drink. Qian Jing wrapped one arm around her, and adjusted her posture with the other arm, which could only use half of it: "Captain, can you help find some baby milk powder?" She hasn't eaten for a long time. β
Liu Su originally stretched out his hand to help Qian Jing hold the child, but seeing that he only had one hand that was easy to use and so careful, he knew in his heart that Qian Jing would not let go. "Hold on tight, come with me, sit down in the infirmary, and I'll arrange it for you. β
Qian Jing had no intention of admiring the surrounding scenery, nor did he memorize the complicated routes in the new office building of the relevant departments. He went to the infirmary, and the doctor brought him a baby basket with a soft, comfortable and warm blanket, and Lai Isa lay down in it. But at least the basket is a little farther away from the mirror, and the child will cry unless he gets it closer again. Lai Sha didn't need to open her eyes to feel the money mirror inside, as if she had some kind of distance sensing. Therefore, when Qian Jing was dealing with the wound on her arm, she was also beside her.
"The rest of your body is fine, just a few superficial minor injuries. The more serious ones are rib fractures, which require reinforcement for a period of time, which is very uncomfortable, but can be fully recovered. But your left arm has to be amputated: frostbite has completely damaged nerves, muscles and blood vessels are not worth repairing, and only cut-off can prevent infection. The doctor gave Qian Jing and said: "After the amputation, we will put a prosthesis on you, and after a period of practice, you will be able to control the wrist joint and five fingers." Do young people like to play games? Rest assured, as long as you are proficient in the operation, you can use this single hand of your prosthesis to 300APM. β
"What kind of prosthetic leg can I get it, how much does it cost, and what do they do?"
"Oh, I'll have to talk about that. The doctor helped his glasses: "I read the information, you are from the White Flag grocery store, but this time you are on a mission with the relevant departments, so Li Changshou bought battlefield personal accident insurance for all of you." The cost of basic treatment and prosthetics is covered by insurance, so you don't have to pay for it. With a simulated skin and a full set of tactile neurons, you will feel a little different from the past, but you will feel good enough to meet all your daily needs. Oh, and it can pass through the security check of planes and trains, and no one will know that your arm is fake. β
"There's nothing better. I'm a magician, and I need my arms to cast magic. β
"Magician, wow, I envy you, I don't have the physique of a magician. The doctor thought for a moment, then said, "If you are a magician, it is best to use a golem-style arm, which can ensure elemental sensing and manipulation. However, the relevant departments are relatively weak in magic, and there are no better golem hands. And, on the more troublesome part β more than money β is that all golem hands can't automatically pass the security check. Not to mention planes and trains, you can't even get on the subway. You can't just take off the golem's hand every time and explain what it is, right? Ordinary people have never seen a golem's arm. β
"So what's the best replacement here and how much does it cost? I need it to be as powerful, as safe, and as protective and combat-ready as possible. β
"We're a hospital, not a biomodified weapons research institute, so we don't provide those things. Still, I suggest you can check this out. The doctor opened the tablet, found the item introduction from the database and showed it to Qian Jing: "The comprehensive engineer prosthetic, a set of 15 million yuan, is our most compatible platform." If you need a magic arm in particular, you can use it as a basis for future opportunities. β
"Fifteen million yuan, I'm the equivalent of driving a supercar on my body!" Qian Jing's eyes widened, but he couldn't afford it. Originally, I wanted to keep the Stone Elemental Coins to buy some magical things, so I never exchanged them for other currencies - mainly because the exchange rate was too tricky. Now he figured out that the money that couldn't be spent was waste paper, and the numbers left on the books were nothing more than some electric charges. This time, the Gold of Destiny bought Raisa a life, and she survived nine deaths herself. If that doesn't change his view of money, that's no wonder!
"I can afford it, but you have to at least tell me what makes this thing better than the free one, right?"
"Free? That prosthetic limb that is free of insurance also costs five million!" The doctor lifted his glasses and said, "Well, do you know that there are several major weapon systems in the world?" The American, Russian, and only half of the systems of Britain, France, and Germany? Some people bought all these systems and found that they were incompatible. Who is he going to go back to? Who on the planet can eat all the systems and then complete the universal platform? Is my hint obvious enough?"
Qian Jing hadn't heard of the story of the "Super Universal Weapon Pylon", but he remembered a comment about the Earth's Origin World, that is, "Earth, as the highest level of the Origin World, has one of the best rules in the entire multiverse." That is to say......
"I use this arm, and it doesn't actually prevent me from using magic, but it doesn't have the same enhancement effect as the golem's arm, right?"
The doctor's "you're very advanced" look on his face had clearly answered the question. Qian Jing nodded, and chose this, especially this arm still needs to be replaced by the doctor in front of him, so there is no need to worry about it. He raised his hand and began to operate the interface of the white flag, exchanging all the stone elemental coins he stored in it for the yuan that could be used on the earth.
"Oh, I think you'd better leave some Destiny Coins, knowing that the Rim Alliance doesn't accept RMB. The doctor didn't raise his head when he said this, and kept cleaning up the operating table behind him. Qian Jing glanced at him suspiciously, after all, the system of the White Flag grocery store should only be seen by the employees of the White Flag, and outsiders can only see the air.
"Oh, I know you're manipulating some kind of interface management system as soon as I look at your movementsβthis kind of thing is trending in the multiverse right now, so take the system with you! If I pick up a system on the side of the road, my first reaction would be: Wow, the previous one died so miserably, otherwise how could this system end up here......"
"Hehe, there's some truth. However, the system of the white flag is for work, not for cultivation. Qian Jing thought about it, accepted the doctor's advice, and left five gold coins of fate, and exchanged the rest for 30 million yuan. These were the remnants of Bean Sauce One, the tournament prize money, and all the harvest in the Half-Plane Flying Castle, which would have been a lot more than that, but life was priceless.
"Alright, let's get started. You put your arm into this ring, and I'll fix it for you, don't worry, it won't hurt, there will be anesthetic. Do you want to watch or don't want to watch? But you have to secure your other hand, I don't want to be attacked. You have to take this with you and seal your mouth, in case you spit on the wound, it will be troublesome. β
Qian Jing very resolutely rejected the spherical gag, preferring to tie his mouth with a towel. The doctor then tightened his arms and retrieved a chainsaw from under the table. Qian Jing glanced at it, and sweated like a waterfall. The chainsaw was so big that even if it was a big tree that three people hugged, it would be sawed down at most.
"Oh, don't worry, I treated an alien before, and that guy was too big. The doctor tapped the chainsaw with his index finger, and it shrank rapidly, at least not to cause panic. "Actually, it's still the same chainsaw, and the power hasn't changed. Size is just a faΓ§ade. β
"Oh...... Wow...... Oh......" Qian Jing can only make such a sound.
"The anesthetic is in the ring that clamps the arm, so you see......" he slammed Qian Jing's arm hard, "doesn't it hurt anymore?" Oh yes, you know how to do water magic, right? Keep the blood around you under control, don't fly too far, it's hard to clean up. β
"Oh!!ohoh!" Qian Jing struggled hard, but he couldn't move his arms at all. The two fixing clips seemed to weigh tens of thousands of pounds, and his feet couldn't use force. He watched as the chainsaw sliced down the middle of his arm, but his elbows were good!
"Don't worry, you have to get from here. I need more nerves to do it, and they'll have to be found in the cut part. The doctor bent down and took out an arm from the drawer of the table, which looked exactly the same as Qian Jing's previous hand. Qian Jing looked stupid, and even had an illusion for a moment: his arm was actually fine, and the doctor had cut off his good hand and was showing it to himself.
"Look, it's not a real hand β you're thinking that's interesting. The doctor showed the cross-section of the arm, and it was indeed mechanical. "I know a lot of powerful people, and most of them have broken their hands, so it's not a bad thing that you have broken your hands. I have a good friend who I really hate, and he also has a broken left hand. That kid has a castle at home, he's rich, and he's got a magic arm of pure gold, he's so stingy, he never shows it to meβbut I'm not out of it. I haven't broken my hand, but I know why everyone does, you know?"
Qian Jing struggled endlessly, how could he have the strength to answer.
"I thought about it carefully, and I could still survive with my severed hand. If you break your neck, you're done, and if you break your leg, you can't escape. If you think about it, anyone who can cut off his limbs is in a desperate situation, and if he can't escape, he will die? But to become a strong person, you will inevitably face danger, and you will always have to be injured, right? Breaking a hand has become a very common thing. Okay, it's docked, and you can speak. β
He pulled out the towel from Qian Jing's mouth, and the towel had been deeply embossed from the bite. Qian Jing raised his weak eyelids, and said weakly but gritting his teeth: "Anesthetic...... The anesthetic didn't work......"
"Of course it won't work. You have to keep your nerve signals to complete the docking. Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, does it?"
It's strange to say, Qian Jing was still in pain just now, but now he only has discomfort in his chest and his arm is already healed. He tried to move his wrists and fingers, and after a delay of half a second, he got the correct response. "Oh, slowly run in for a while, and there will be no delay. This is the instruction manual, go back and take a good look, it's best to memorize it. β
"Thanks, I almost scared to death just now, but this is amazing. Qian Jing manipulated his new arm to move constantly, and not only did he do it accurately β albeit with some delays β but he could also feel the wind during the exercise. He firmly believes that in time, there will be absolutely no difference between this arm and the real thing.
"By the way, there's a feature I'd like to tell you about. The doctor pressed his arm close to his shoulder, took off his prosthetic hand, held it in his hand and shook it as he said, "The part from the palm to the elbow can be separated, and the other part remains under your shoulder forever and cannot be separated." The above part is the compatible platform. Don't forget to change your password when you get back so that someone else β like me β won't take off your arm. β
Qian Jing watched his prosthetic hand swaying in the wind, and found that he could still receive the tactile signals of that arm, and even manipulate it! He just wanted to secretly pull a hair from the doctor's head, but found that the arm was quickly fitted back again.
"Next is the injury to your ribs, just get a nano repair robot. After 12 hours, you don't want to go to the toilet β these robots don't have much nutrition, so it's useless to keep them. β
Qian Jing felt a pain in his back, and he should have been stabbed. The doctor took out a bandage, wrapped it loosely around the upper half of the mirror, and fixed it. Soon, the bandage contracted on its own, getting tighter and tighter, directly supporting and fixing Qian Jing's chest.
He unfastened the ring on the right arm of the money mirror, and then said, "You'd better hold this position for another twenty minutes, and then press this button to come out." The plaster cast on your chest has a healing potion that monitors your injuries and releases them slowly until you are healed and will loosen on its own. Don't throw it in the trash, just burn it. β
"Thank you, doctor. How can I give you money?"
"You're welcome, the money will be deducted by itself. I have other things to be busy with, if you have any questions, call me, here is the number, my surname is Zhao. The doctor threw away the disinfectant gloves and looked at the swaddling Raisa as he left the door: "This little girl is so good-looking." Well, you'll be fine, I promise. β
