After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS-Chapter 105 - 101: Emergency Assignment

Leaving the Public Security Bureau, Su Mo first took KK to find a dentist.

The technology level of this world was more advanced than before Su Mo's journey, especially in terms of medical conditions.

Especially in New Moon City, perhaps because too many people got their teeth knocked out every day, dental technology had rapidly advanced, making dental implant surgery incredibly fast.

You go in the same day, get it done, and in 20 minutes it's finished. You can eat immediately afterward, with no difference from natural teeth, maybe even better quality.

As they walked out of the hospital, KK used his fingers to jiggle his new teeth back and forth, testing the sturdiness. He said happily, "This is amazing. I'm not afraid of getting my teeth knocked out next time."

Su Mo retorted angrily, "Next time? You better watch yourself from now on. If your stuff and money get stolen, so be it. If you're out of cash, I'll give you some. Why risk your life over it?"

"Luckily, you ran into a thug who only used his fists today. What if next time you encounter someone with a knife or a gun, you'll risk your life by resisting."

KK rubbed the back of his head and sighed, "Well, bottom line is I'm just too weak. I've never been good at fighting since I was a kid, always the one getting beaten."

Then he had a sudden idea: "Hey, big brother, do you think I should get some prosthetics too? If I become a prosthetic implanter, then these lowlifes won't dare mess with me."

Su Mo smiled helplessly, "Nice idea, but forget it. Do you think prosthetics are just something you decide to implant whenever you want?"

"Prosthetics are foreign implants and can sometimes cause rejection reactions. People's tolerance for them varies greatly."

"Some people can replace their whole body with 'Apocalypse Level 1' prosthetics without any side effects, not even needing immunosuppressants."

"Others can't handle even a 'Ordinary Management Level 3' prosthetic. They either have to use immunosuppressants for life or remove the prosthetic and become half-crippled."

This was KK's first introduction to prosthetics, and curiously he asked, "So how does one determine their body's tolerance limit for prosthetics?"

Su Mo shrugged, "There's only one way—by practice."

"Keep implanting more and higher-grade prosthetics until your body can't handle it, and then you'll know your tolerance limit."

KK was shocked, "What? But what if I dismantle my limbs or spine only to find out I can't handle even the weakest Ordinary Management Level 3 prosthetic? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

Su Mo replied, "Exactly, you didn't think prosthetics were a risk-free deal, did you?"

"While prosthetics are easier to enhance compared to bloodcode and just require spending money, the final results depend on personal talent."

KK hesitated and then said, hanging his head down, "Forget it, I'll stick to my natural body. I don't have the guts for this."

Su Mo put an arm around his shoulder and laughed, "Just be my all-around little helper. I'll handle the fights; other companions will join us in the future. Just do your part."

KK raised his fist and said, "Okay! Let's hurry home. I learned how to pan-fry steak from TV recently. I'll make it for you."

...

Ever since teaming up with Su Mo, KK had taken over all logistics work, like cleaning, shopping, bookkeeping, and cooking.

He's quite talented in cooking, spending time every day learning from tutorials. His skills have become quite good.

The steak he made this time was crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, seasoned with black pepper and rosemary, and accompanied by fresh cherry tomatoes and asparagus.

In one word: delightful.

As Su Mo gorged on the steak, a small head peeked from under the table.

Future clung to the table's edge, sniffing continuously, "Smells so good, I could smell it from below."

Su Mo forked a piece for her, "Here, try KK's cooking."

Future took a bite of the steak and chewed it, her eyes encircled by dark circles blinking like a little panda eating.

She swallowed the steak and shook her head, saying, "Doesn't seem much different from rat meat."

KK exclaimed, "How could it not be different? Rat meat and beef are not the same!"

Future blinked, "Well, compared to my genetically modified rats, in terms of taste, protein content, and trace elements, there's not much difference between the two."

"If you don't believe it, next time I'll catch a rat, cook it, and let you try."

KK and Su Mo said in unison, "No way!"

"Alright then, doesn't matter to me what I eat. I'm off~" Future wrapped a piece of steak in toast and headed back to the basement to continue her research.

KK looked in the direction Future left and said, "Sometimes I really admire her. No TV, no games, no short videos, no entertainment at all, just research. How does she keep it up?"

Su Mo smiled faintly, "In a way, Future is far beyond us. She's someone who is entirely free of lowly interests, with only the truth of science in her eyes."

"Don't think she has no entertainment; on the contrary, experiments and research are her biggest joys. You could say she's 'entertained' every moment."

KK sighed, "I don't understand...last time she taught me some physics, and I fell asleep in five minutes."

Su Mo chuckled, finishing his steak, and rubbing his temples, saying, "I haven't slept for days. I'm going to rest for a bit. I'm exhausted."

KK took the plate away from Su Mo, "Big brother, you go ahead and sleep. I'll clean up here."

Su Mo went back to his room and collapsed onto his bed, completely relaxed.

The operation "Desert Storm" was a huge success, and Ou Chenyu's potential was mostly wasted.

However, this son of destiny is still invincible for me right now.

It's not suitable to trouble Ou Chenyu again until the next plot opportunity arises.

The advantage is that he's in the open while I'm in the shadows. This advantage must be maintained.

In the time waiting for the plot opportunity, just focus on living life well.

Sweating it out to train bloodcode.

Taking commissions to earn money and buy prosthetics.

Striving to get stronger is the foundation of everything. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

As he thought this, the soft pillow lured Su Mo into a hazy consciousness as he drifted into a dream.

...

Not sure how long he slept...

"Ring, ring, ring." An alarm went off.

Su Mo was jolted awake by the phone's ringing, groggily looking at the clock. It was only 9 PM, he'd only been asleep for two hours.

Being woken from light sleep is the worst, but the caller made him have to pick up.

Su Mo answered, "Hello, Lady Countess."

Audiana said, "Young one, I have a request here, very urgent, high pay, a reward of 1.5 million, and the target is..."

Listening to Audiana's description, Su Mo felt both amused and helpless.

Things just keep coming one after another; they really don't let people rest.

Although mercenaries and middlemen are in a freelance cooperative relationship, middlemen don't have the right to forcibly send a request.

But "acceptance rate" itself is one of the criteria to evaluate a mercenary.

So unless it's something truly undoable or against one's principles, mercenaries try to accept requests, especially from a famous broker like Audiana.

Moreover…

The offer was just too tempting.

After hearing the details, Su Mo accepted the job.

This urgent commission was very time-sensitive and required immediate action.

He got up and washed his face with cold water, looking at his panda eyes in the mirror and smiling.

"Wow, feels like the all-nighters I pulled when I just downloaded 'Dawn'."
