Chapter 14 The Doctor with a Tea-like Demeanor

The K-99 ruins are a Level 1 restricted area of ​​the Interstellar Alliance.

The energy field there is unstable, various strange beasts roam the area, and the mechanisms are highly complex.

However, it also contains extremely valuable resources.

Loran's detectors recently detected a unique signal source near the ruins—a signal from "void droplets."

"Void droplets" have strong biocompatibility.

This was exactly what he desperately needed to make up for the failure of his previous experiment.

The thought of that failure made him seethe with hatred. If it weren't for that Gu Lei interfering...

At that moment, he glanced at the woman in front of him without making a sound.

He spent a lot of money participating in the Rose Club's matching program, hoping to find an S-class navigator.

He's willing to pay any price if it helps him complete this exploration.

result……

This terrible matching system paired him with an ordinary, unremarkable person.

To his surprise, this ordinary person actually chose the K-99 restricted area as their date location.

Is she truly ignorant?

accidental?

Whether they are hiding their strength or have other plans, the answer will soon be revealed.

"Miss Ning, are you lying to me? Let me see."

After saying this, Loran pressed the start button.

There was no warning.

An invisible torrent of energy instantly pierced through Ning Shuyin's body.

It wasn't the excruciating pain from the electric current, but a deeper, more profound kind of pain.

It was as if millions of invisible ants were tearing her cells apart, scavenging every nerve ending, frantically searching for something.

She bit her lip hard, the sweet, metallic taste of blood filling her mouth.

She gripped the edge of the bed so tightly that her fingernails almost broke.

Loran stood by the bed, his expression blank, calmly observing the data stream on the screen.

"Ms. Ning, this process will be accompanied by some... discomfort."

After saying that, Loran realized that his wording was inaccurate and corrected him: "In fact, there aren't many people in the entire intergalactic world who can withstand this kind of pain."

"Besides, this is a medical device. Even if I were to go to the Interstellar Court, I wouldn't be found guilty of causing you harm during our date."

"The sooner it's exposed, the less suffering you'll endure."

Loran's voice was ruthless.

Hearing these words, Ning Shuyin, who was in so much pain that she was about to faint, felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Before Loran, all the values ​​remained unremarkable.

All indicators suggest that the person lying in bed is just an ordinary human being enduring extreme pain.

The extremely handsome man frowned slightly.

"Isn't that enough...?"

He extended his right hand, and a faint silver halo appeared in his palm. He gently touched Ning Shuyin's forehead with his hand.

[Senses, enhanced.]

The moment the silver light touched her, Ning Shuyin felt as if she had fallen into a new hell.

If the previous pain was a raging torrent, then now, that torrent has been sharpened a billion times in an instant.

Ning Shuyin knew that this was Loran's special ability, [Gene Amplification].

Loran is also an SSS-level powerhouse in the Interstellar Alliance.

He can use his superpowers to precisely "edit" and "overclock" the gene expression of organisms in a short period of time.

To put it bluntly, it's about stacking buffs.

He doesn't create energy; he amplifies it.

No……

It's no use...

Ning Shuyin felt that if things continued like this, her spirit would collapse before her body.

With all her remaining strength, she let out a hoarse cry, revealing the truth she had been hiding:

"I...I chose the ruins, but...I don't want to sleep with you!"

Feeling wronged, fearful, and overwhelmed with pain, Ning Shuyin was on the verge of collapse.

Upon hearing this, Loran paused for a moment, seemingly pondering the meaning behind her words.

"Beep".

He paused the device.

The hoarse shout still echoed in his ears—"I don't want to sleep with you!"

"Go to bed?" Loran laughed. "Miss Ning, you're overthinking it."

"Don't tell me you're just an ordinary person. Even if you were an S-class ability user, I wouldn't have any interest in your body."

But at that moment, Ning Shuyin couldn't hear what he was saying.

The energy surge from the bursting dam hadn't yet subsided within her.

Even she herself didn't notice that the aftershocks of the pain drew out a very faint warm current from deep within her body.

That warm current was like a wisp of spring beneath the frozen earth. But unfortunately, it was too small, so fleeting as to vanish in an instant.

"snort."

Loran snorted coldly, staring at her pale face with a mocking tone.

He stared at her for a while before turning his gaze back to the data screen, thus failing to notice the slight tremor in the instrument's spectrum.

"Have you rested well?" he asked in a deep voice.

This greeting is more terrifying than the devil's evil words.

She originally thought that once she weathered this storm, the matter would be over.

She has told the truth.

As a result, the second round of torment was about to begin.

Why doesn't he believe it yet?

No!

Absolutely not!

If it happened again, she really would die.

Ning Shuyin was bound to the cold treatment bed, her body drenched in cold sweat.

She desperately called the system.

"System, help! Is there any way to make him stop?"

[Host, the system shop offers emergency items, which require 100 points to redeem.]

"100 points? I don't have any..."

"System, you wouldn't want to watch me die either, would you?"

Ning Shuyin had no choice but to resort to a desperate measure that threatened to kill herself.

The system remained silent for a few seconds.

[Host, we can activate the emergency plan for you, consuming all your luck for the next 24 hours for the exchange.]

Fortune?

Compared to the pain that is about to come, what is this ephemeral thing called fortune?

"I'll change!"

[Host, please think carefully. Clearing your luck value is equivalent to carrying a "misfortune experience card." You will face unknown consequences. Please choose carefully and remain calm.]

"I can't calm down, or I'll freeze to death. Change now! Change immediately! Change right now!"

The next second, a panel that only she could see popped up:

[Emergency Item: Green Tea Aerosol]

[Effect: When used on a designated target, it will cause the target to develop an uncontrollable protective instinct towards the host for 4 hours.]

[Side effect: While the item is active, the target will emit a "tea fragrance." This "tea-like" scent may provoke hostility from males.]

[Please confirm whether you wish to redeem?]

"confirm!"

With tears in her eyes, Ning Shuyin used her last bit of strength to make the choice with her consciousness.

The moment she made her choice, a thin mist drifted out around her.

The mist, carrying the crisp scent of grass and trees, drifted silently into Loran's nostrils.

At this moment, Loran was adjusting the "superpower activation device".

He immediately pushed the energy level of [Special Ability Activation] on the control panel from the green "Low" setting to the red "Strongest" setting without hesitation.

But his finger suddenly stopped just one millimeter away from the start button.
