This small example demonstrates the perfect integration of implanted capabilities.
"You didn't feel any discomfort, did you?" he pressed. "Tell me about the surgery?"
No.
Xia Ke'an shook her head, "I just felt a little confused and slept for a while... When I woke up, the surgery was over, and there were no adverse reactions. It was much easier than last time."
She spoke so casually, but the petty-minded Chairman Xu was a little taken aback.
Why the hell?!
It's not that he felt resentful; it's just that due to time constraints, the white-haired girl's surgery was a bit more rushed than his.
As it turned out, the integration was perfect, and there were no adverse reactions like the nightmare of killing someone. As soon as they got off the operating table, they were as carefree as ever, and it didn't seem to be much more difficult than eating or drinking...
It's understandable, since she was implanted with a self-healing ability that could immediately help with post-operative recovery. Although this ability was taken from Shen Qin, it wasn't her original ability. Even if Shen Qin wanted to replicate her brother's actions, she probably wouldn't be able to.
But without comparison, there is no harm; who can bear this?
"Okay, okay, you're still angry with me?"
Xia Ke'an knew what he was being awkward about, so she took the initiative to press her forehead against his. "Xie Qingyan and I asked about your situation, and we said there was still a solution."
"...Look at what you're saying, do you think I'm a petty person?"
Enjoying the little girl's affection, Xu Shi sighed, "This was one of the things we were supposed to do anyway."
Of course, he wouldn't really hold a grudge against anyone because of this. The right thing to do is to solve the problem—who knows, this voyage might just lead him to some miracle cure? Even if it doesn't, he's a grown man who wouldn't let himself die from holding in his pee.
"Hehe, you're not, you're not. Brother Xu Shi has the broadest mind."
The older woman joked for a moment, then turned serious. "But you're right, the outside world offers more possibilities, or as we call it, opportunities. Besides you, have you considered your grandfather's situation?"
"Regarding his implanted superpower... of course."
Speaking of this, Xu Shi's expression became much more serious.
It has to be said that Shen Qin's self-healing ability has already come in very handy. From the beginning, Xu Shi was not only considering Xia Ke'an, but also Grandpa Wen—the two people's complications are essentially the same type. As long as they can be resolved, there will be fewer worries.
Unfortunately, for Wen Shengkui, the surgery to implant superpowers was not as simple as the white-haired loli surgery. It wasn't because of anything else, but simply because he was too old and his body couldn't tolerate it, so he didn't meet the requirements from the start.
The old man currently represents the highest combat power in Night City, and this cannot be ignored. Xu Shi does not want to see anything go wrong with him, especially since a solution has already been found.
"It's all packed up already, here you go."
As he spoke, he took out a notebook from his inner pocket, which was filled with to-do items—he had specifically chosen this relatively traditional method to prevent electronic devices from malfunctioning.
"Ha, looks like I wasted my time reminding you?"
Xia Ke'an knew without looking that there was no problem, and she pulled his face with relief, "Now I know why I'm getting dumber and dumber, it's all because you spoiled me."
That's right! They've already meticulously prepared everything you could think of, and over time you really get used to being a hands-off manager...
"I don't need to spoil you, you're just stupid to begin with."
"...I'm not kidding anymore, you really make me feel at ease."
The older woman didn't argue, but then voiced another concern, "I'm still worried that with all this fanfare, will 'Tianli' just stand by and watch?"
"Maybe it really will?"
Xu Shi remained calm. "Don't you find it strange? If, according to He Yuxia, Shen He is the so-called savior, then after his death, 'Heavenly Principle' should have immediately cleansed and reduced Night Sin City to zero."
“But even now, I’ve finished building the ship and set sail, and they still haven’t reacted. That doesn’t seem right, does it? So I have a guess: they’re still observing.”
"What are you waiting for?"
"Let me put it this way, there should be a hard red line, or threshold, within 'Heavenly Principles,' as long as it doesn't exceed this range, nothing will happen."
Xu Shi explained, "What we are doing now is still within acceptable limits, which is why they have chosen to remain inactive."
"So, you did all these things with the intention of testing this bottom line?"
The white-haired loli instantly realized what was happening and couldn't help but ask.
"You got it right."
Xu Shi nodded slightly. "He Yuxia doesn't know much either, so I can only use this clumsy method... Actually, it's less about observing and more about watching? Because 'Heavenly Principles' have their own goals, to clear away the 'Rust Fog,' right?"
"I don't know if anyone before me has stepped out of their experimental field and explored deeper and farther places? If not, then as the first person to try this, do they not know what to do with me?"
"That's true..."
There's some truth to that, and Xia Ke'an couldn't help but ponder it upon hearing it.
"Of course, this is only one possibility; there is another, even better, scenario."
"Um?"
"That means the current 'Heavenly Principles' no longer possess the power to destroy us."
Xu Shi said seriously, "They could easily destroy 'Tianhe' and 'Refraction,' but that was ten years ago. Who can guarantee what they're like now? Maybe they're rotten and devastated?"
