Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 75: Doctor Miss

Su'en didn't stay long in this spider nest full of corpses.

Although he thought that all the second-tier assassins had appeared and there should be no more killers coming, the corpses were scattered everywhere, and the smell of blood would spread far, attracting the distorted monsters from other parts of the underground.

After tidying up the battlefield and covering up some necessary traces of the battle, he planned to lead Miss Bait away...

Oh no!

Now Rena is no longer a burden, but a useful lifesaving doctor.

This young lady, who has never been so embarrassed as the heiress of a wealthy family, can't stand the sticky spider webs all over her body. The wet shirt sticks to her body, making her feel a sense of shame as if she is wearing see-through clothes. But there are no conditions for cleaning here, so she can only use a towel to clean her body briefly and then ask Su'en for a shirt to change into.

She used to be so nervous when changing clothes before, but she doesn't know why she can change clothes so calmly this time.

She probably thinks it's because she has been influenced by the guide Mr. Su'en, who is as calm as a monster.

Rena now finds it incredible that Mr. Su'en calmly stated that he might die and asked her for help with first aid.

That tone, as if he was talking about someone else.

Hmm... he's really a strange guy.

.......

"Let's go, let's find another place."

There's no time to find a way to the surface, so they can only find a relatively safe place in the underground.

Su'en called Rena and then slung the scythe wrapped in a rag over his shoulder.

After identification, he also understood why the "forbidden items" could not be stored in the storage ring.

The reason is that the rules contained in ordinary forbidden items are much higher than the pseudo-space rules of the storage ring. It's like a paper bag can't hold a red-hot iron ball. If a forbidden item is put into the storage ring's inferior folding space, it will immediately collapse.

With this scythe in his hand, he didn't avoid Rena's meaning, nor could he avoid it.

She, as the heiress of an inner-tier top family, has an incredible range of information channels. If she really wants to inquire, there is no way to hide it.

The injuries on his body that are about to erupt due to backlash are too special. As long as someone has heard of the curse characteristic of the "Night Black Scythe of Supnos," they can guess something.

And the girl naturally saw the "strange cloth package" in Su'en's hand, but she didn't show any intention to ask.

She was just occasionally a little absent-minded, but she wasn't stupid, and even her inner mind was sharp.

The guide Mr. Su'en risked so much to save her, and she felt that she should be grateful, which was enough.

As for the rest, Rena didn't think it was important at all.

.......

Su'en didn't want the things that happened in the underground to cause a commotion, nor did he want everyone to know that he had saved Rena.

Blocking the shape-shifting worms, ambushing Daniel, and plotting to kill the second-tier assassin... a series of events would be considered bizarre to a third party.

Probably no one would believe that a small member of the outer-city gang like Su'en could do all this.

If it really caused a commotion, there would definitely be people investigating.

By then, the "forbidden items," the "distorted monster repellent," and his identity... everything would be impossible to hide.

However, before he could speak, Rena cleverly thought of this point.

She walked quietly behind Su'en, just like when she came before.

And suddenly, she spoke.

"Mr. Su'en, don't worry... everything this time was caused by me. I have already caused the death of Mentor August and Assistant Rosa. I won't cause you any more trouble."

The big families are used to seeing too many things like this. The lives of the lower-class people are just a word in the hands of the top elites.

After such a serious assassination incident, even if she didn't die, the responsibility would definitely be investigated.

Bodyguards, security officers... and so on.

And Su'en, as a guide, would definitely be implicated.

As Rena spoke, she also noticed the "cloth package" on Su'en's shoulder. She felt that she had an obligation to keep the secret of her lifesaver.

After a pause, she continued, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what happened here. I won't say it, and no one can force me to say it. This is our secret."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Su'en suddenly stopped and turned to look at the serious-faced heiress.

He didn't say much, just responded with a faint smile.

Rena was slightly startled by his sudden turn. Although she couldn't see Su'en's face covered by a gas mask, she could tell from the details of his raised eyebrows that he was smiling.

This was the first time she saw such a friendly expression on the cold guide Mr. Su'en's face.

Su'en turned his head back and continued walking forward.

This was also his purpose in risking his life to save someone.

Rena's identity is very special, and as long as she is willing to help conceal it, it's not a big deal.

Moreover, Su'en thought that even if it was exposed, it wouldn't be a problem.

The only thing he did in the underground that couldn't see the light was killing Daniel. But because he was careful enough, he could easily come up with an excuse to cover it up.

Compared to saving Rena, the weight of the heiress, the lives of a hundred Daniels were not as important.

He was just afraid of trouble and afraid of exposing the identity of the original owner.

As for this scythe... if it really gets exposed, he can just hand it over to the gang. Even if there are any problems, they won't be able to trace it back to him.

This trip to the underground has gained so much "knowledge" and obtained the much-needed spider leg implant materials, which is already satisfying for him.

Now it seems that he has unintentionally found a way out for himself by saving someone.Since Rena was willing to keep the secret, it was just what he wanted.

......

Su'en led Rena around in the underground cave for a while and found a dry abandoned sewer pipe. Three sides of the pipe were blocked by cement walls, making it difficult for monsters to disturb them.

Then he took out a temporary surgical frame and a pile of emergency medical equipment and placed them on the ground.

Rena skillfully connected various pipes to the equipment and powered them up.

Su'en watched her professional technique and felt relieved. If he had to do it himself, he wouldn't understand how to operate these devices.

Perhaps because they had gone through hardships together, Rena didn't seem as distant as before. She quickly assumed her role as a "doctor".

While preparing surgical instruments, she asked, "Mr. Su'en, did you use any medication just now? I want to ask to avoid any conflicts with the medication I will use later."

"A potent sedative."

"How many milliliters?"

"10 milliliters."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Rena suddenly stopped what she was doing, shocked. She looked at Su'en incredulously, "That dosage... is a highly lethal dosage. How... how could you inject so much?!"

"I didn't die, did I?"

Su'en smiled and didn't explain further.

He was well aware of his condition, and that dosage did carry a certain risk. But if he didn't inject it, the two of them wouldn't be sitting here talking right now.

Su'en didn't intend to dwell on this topic and changed the subject, asking, "What should I do next?"

Rena glanced at him, with an expression of helplessness as if a doctor was looking at a patient who was taking medicine randomly.

She didn't ask further and instead said, "I want to confirm again, Mr. Su'en, you said that a part of your body will suddenly split open, about one foot in size?"

Su'en nodded, "Yes. There may be some error, but it shouldn't be significant."

Rena didn't ask for the reason. She also guessed that it might be the backlash of a powerful curse.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "If that's the case, I suggest setting up a 'Life Conversion Alchemy Array'. Because I'm the only one here, I'm afraid I won't have time to stitch up the wound. With that array, even if the carotid artery and nerves are severed on a large scale, you won't die immediately. I..."

She paused and added in a less confident tone, "I... I should be able to handle such a tricky injury."

Upon hearing this, Su'en was greatly surprised: you can survive even if your neck is severed?

In his knowledge base, most of it was about combat skills, and he didn't have much knowledge in the field of medicine yet.

Listening to this "Life Maintenance Alchemy Array," it seemed very powerful. He asked with some anticipation, "Is it troublesome to set up this array?"

If he could survive even if his neck was severed, then he felt that his chances of survival would be even greater.

"It's a bit troublesome."

Rena said, seemingly afraid that the patient would question her medical skills. She continued, "But that happens to be the topic of our graduation assessment in the medical department. I... I happened to get a perfect score."

As she spoke, she took out the corresponding materials from the storage ring of the teaching assistant Rosa and explained while setting up the array, "The principle of this alchemy array is to convert 'physical energy' into 'biological energy'... as long as the energy is not depleted, it can continuously replenish the patient's life force."

Su'en listened with amazement. Could equivalent exchange be used like this?

He felt that this alchemy array was very practical and definitely a life-saving tool. If he learned it, he might be able to use it in the future.

However, as he looked at the materials Rena took out and a pile of curse crystals worth 11,000 Riso, he suddenly realized something.

He asked, "Are the materials needed for this 'Life Conversion Alchemy Array' expensive?"

"Not too expensive."

Rena continued her work without stopping and casually replied, "The basic array materials cost about one or two hundred gold crowns, and if the materials are better, the effect will be better. Then it depends on the duration of the surgery, which also consumes some curse crystals..."

(Note: 1 gold crown = 10,000 Riso)

Su'en's eyelids twitched as he listened. Once again, he experienced the financial power of top conglomerates.

To forcefully extend one's life with money, it was terrifying.

If it weren't for the loot from the corpses they obtained during this trip to the underground cave, as a poor person like him, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to listen to this kind of array.

No wonder there weren't many large hospitals in the outer city, only some small clinics. The surgery fees of several million Riso were simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

......

"Alright, Mr. Su'en, you can lie on the operating table now."

"..."

Su'en did as he was told.

But as Rena looked at his complex adventurer attire, she suddenly thought of something and a strange expression flashed across her face. She said, "I... I suggest that you take off your equipment and clothes for the surgery. Because we're not sure where the wound will appear, it's better to..."

"Okay."

Before she finished speaking, Su'en understood what she wanted to say.

He didn't show any hesitation and directly took off all his clothes, walking naked to the operating table.

Rena also seemed to have entered the role of a doctor. Her cheeks blushed slightly, but it quickly disappeared.

She picked up the disinfectant and began to carefully disinfect, preparing for the surgery.

As she worked, this heiress of a conglomerate muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear: it's like dissecting a cadaver in the anatomy classroom.

......

The wait for the curse backlash was somewhat long.Su'en, a grown man, didn't feel the slightest bit awkward being naked, but the innocent young girl, Rena, was somewhat embarrassed.

In order not to let the atmosphere become stiff, the two of them started to chat intermittently.

Whether it was her knowledge or her upbringing, Rena, the heiress of a wealthy family, was impeccable. The conversation was quite pleasant.

After this trial, Su'en became interested in some aspects of the inner city. In the course of their indirect conversation, he subtly probed whether Rena knew the original owner.

He had originally thought that the original owner was a top noble in the inner city, part of the upper-class society, and should be known to Rena.

But to his surprise, when he asked, he discovered a big problem.

Not only did Rena not know the original owner "Fick Regadi", but even... there was no "Regadi" family in the inner city's upper-class society at all!
