Chapter 322: Chapter 48 The Eccentric Cultivator (Part One)

As the storm over Great Demon Lake began to stir, the gaze of the Black Star combat vehicle gradually shifted towards those B-zone organizations that might have come into contact with Yak’s genes. Meanwhile, Li Yan was busy and enjoying himself in Warehouse No. 4, watching the fire burn from across the river.

Zhuoma watched in disbelief as this man dismantled a part from the abandoned heart resuscitation device for the third time in half an hour and then fiddled with the completely unrecognizable Black Star Type IV Enhanced Gene Injector, her expression becoming increasingly peculiar.

“Are you messing with me?”

She crossed her arms.

However, Li Yan was engrossed in the extraordinary inspiration that Special Expertise: Magic Motion Technology brought him and did not respond to Zhuoma.

Within the ranks of the Black Star combat vehicle, the Black Star Type IV Enhanced Gene Injector belonged to the most cutting-edge medical technology. Its role seemed inconsequential, yet it was frantically coveted by all human elites.

In the Age of Winter, Genetically Modified Agents had, in a way, replaced the currency of the capitalist society, becoming the most indelible mark.

Genetic Potions could endow ordinary people with extraordinary physical abilities and various special powers, but humanity’s need for them was far more than just that!

Whether one was elderly or chronically ill, the process of injecting the potion would drive the body to evolve towards a fixed superhero template. During this process, the self-correction and regrowth of cellular morphology would heal wounds rapidly, rejuvenate aging cells, and produce a wealth of immune-active substances that kill viruses…

Even if the effects of the potion eventually wore off and the recipient didn’t become a part of the Genetically Modified Troops as hoped, they would still be healed of diseases, aging would be delayed, and regrowing lost limbs wasn’t out of the question.

In other words, if used appropriately, Genetically Modified Agents could perfectly replace more than 90% of modern medical procedures!

Indeed, how to use Genetically Modified Agents for treating injuries and illnesses, as well as utilizing this principle to create various derivative medications and instruments, was already a professional discipline in the Age of Winter. Some companies were making a killing from it, such as Yunhai Pharmaceuticals.

By the way, the es Hematopoietic Cell Completion Drug that once cured Li Yan’s leukemia was actually developed based on the “Tier 3 Modification Drug: Steam Giant”…

However, genes, once hailed as “God’s code” in the old era, clearly weren’t so easily tamed by humanity.

The misuse of Genetic Potions could cause all sorts of DNA defects, ultimately leading to Genetic Collapse and rendering medicine ineffective. Moreover, the genetic defects caused by your use of the potion would be passed on to your offspring and wouldn’t end with your death.

The use of Genetic Potions to treat injuries and illnesses could be described as highly efficient and rapid, having gradually replaced “outdated” physical and chemical treatments in traditional medicine over decades, directly causing a vicious cycle and becoming one of the reasons for the increasingly shorter human lifespan today.

Under such circumstances, various injectors that were costly but could circumvent genetic defects became a distinguishing factor among powerful organizations like the Big Three and refugees, further widening the gap between species.

To fix such advanced technology, besides the professional equipment and assembly lines, the most essential thing was compatible spare parts. Several parts for Black Star Type IV had already been discontinued and were ready to be scrapped and destroyed due to severe equipment degradation.

The sources of the parts Li Yan used to repair this advanced technology were whimsically diverse.

This included but was not limited to a battered field helmet, six types of unstable metal compounds, three heart pacemakers, two intact laptops, an old military precision electronic cooker, a large number of medical needles, and empty medicine bottles…

When it came to improving bullets and gunsmithing, whether it was “Crazy Shocker” or “Special Shotgun,” Li Yan’s methods could at best amaze insiders but lacked refined creativity. Yet in repairing this medical instrument, Li Yan’s behavior was undeniably that of a ludicrous madman.

“Your Special Expertise: Magic Motion Technology (50%) is activated!”

“In the long-term application of Magic Motion Technology, your specialization has improved by 1%.”

Li Yan stopped working and looked at his masterpiece, smacking his lips and nodding, “Alright.”

The originally elegantly designed, convenient, and concise bracelet-shaped injector had, after nearly half an hour of disassembly and processing by Li Yan, become a bloated machine resembling a computer case. The helmet’s interior was densely packed with cushions, which looked chilling to the observer. Connected with wires and tubes was a military precision electronic pot, still smelling faintly of curry.

[Black Star Type IV Enhanced Gene Injector]

Quality: Fine

Function: Brief

Note: Despite its ostentatious appearance, the effectiveness of the instrument has indeed been restored. However, due to the repairer’s limited expertise in Magic Motion Technology, there is no ruling out the possibility of the patient suffering from heavy metal poisoning during use.

A guard, struggling to keep a straight face, came over, “Why don’t you try something else? It might just work.”

Li Yan pointed confidently, “This will do.”

After speaking, he stepped forward and opened the second, relatively larger box, which contained a sleek, black, but bisected multifunctional solo motorcycle. Picking up a section of fuel pipe for close inspection, he then set aside the “Black Star Type IV.”

Zhuoma came closer for a detailed look and then turned to the guard, “Take this one, go have it tested at the equipment department to see how it performs.”

“…”

The guard looked pained, but he wasn’t foolish enough to refuse an order from his superior, regardless of their predicament.

He saluted, picked up the instrument, and walked away.

Zhuoma walked over to an open materials box, sat down, crossed her legs, lit a ladies’ cigarette, and became lost in thought.

…

This oddly shaped medical instrument had passed through the hands of no fewer than a dozen Black Star combat vehicle mechanical engineers and medical personnel, receiving laughs, complaints, mockery, and one-sided bets that could have been detailed in thousands of words.

Whether this instrument, reminiscent of a medieval torture device, was effective or not, the final verdict came from an experienced industry researcher in the field of drug application.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

“Abandoning the original injection system and the external drug reaction system is something I can understand, as there is no replacement equipment available. Whether it looks ridiculous or not is not the standard by which to judge its effectiveness.

The instrument is damaged with a severely shattered electrolytic purification layer, which cannot serve its original purpose of preventing DNA instability and chain reactions. However, this instrument has utilized a metal oxidation reaction to catalyze the purification process. This is not a theoretical field I am familiar with, but application results don’t lie—the ‘Dual Gun Savior’ agents’ caused unstable chain reactions to decrease by 90%. Of course, due to the limited time, I cannot determine the effect on other, more advanced agents, but the conclusion is…”

“This thing works.”

The selling price of a “Black Star Type IV” is around eighty thousand yuan, and since the materials used are cheap, the repair costs can be considered negligible. For this repair alone, Black Star should pay Li Yan a fee of twelve thousand yuan.
