Gamers Are Fierce-Chapter 636 - 634 Swimming Pool

When Li Ang logged back into the Game Square and arrived outside the Immaculate Furnace, there were still quite a few players gathered at the storefront.

Wearing a dragon mask and dressed in a white lab coat, Li Ang immediately drew the attention of the crowd.

Players in strange disguises surrounded him, bombarding him with questions about the store's fee structure.

Li Ang activated the Game Square's phasing feature, ignored the players blocking his way, moved through the crowd, and reached out to press against the outer wall of the storefront.

Alchemy activated, ghostly blue electric arcs forming a circular array.

A vertical wooden signboard with an ancient charm appeared on the outer wall of the shop, engraved with a product list and pricing.

After finishing the signboard, Li Ang pushed open the shop door, blocking other players from entering, and went inside to place bottles of Magic Potion on the shelves and submit the prices to the System.

If customers wanted to buy Magic Potions later, they could simply pay, collect, and leave without bothering the owner.

Next, Li Ang used Alchemy to create a customer registration log.

If customers wanted to purchase equipment forging or medical services but there was already a queue, they could leave their personal information on the registration form for an appointment.

When Li Ang was available, he would notify them to come in for the procedure.

After all the preparations, Li Ang sat down in the recliner at the cash register, had the System lift the restriction, and opened the shop doors.

The players who had been waiting outside for a long time poured into the shop, and before they could speak, Li Ang simply raised his hand and pointed towards the notices hanging on the wall.

[Customer Notice 1: This is a small business, no bargaining! No solicitation of business cooperation from other organizations or individuals! Do not harass the cashier or you will be ejected from the store.]

[Customer Notice 2: If you want to buy Series A Magic Potions, do so freely. Restocking is based on fate; if you really want it, leave a request on the customer registration form.]

[Customer Notice 3: The forging time for Series B forging services depends on the material grade. Full payment is required before forging; the shop will not refund materials or forging fees if the forging fails.]

[Customer Notice 4: The shop currently has only one doctor and one operating room. Series C medical services, Series D enhancement services, and Series E Body Modification services are all performed only in this shop's operating room; requests for Flying Knife outcalls are not accepted.]

[Customer Notice 5: There's a limited number of surgeries that can be performed daily. All medical services require an appointment; specific surgery times will be notified by staff.]

[Customer Notice 6: Think hard with your brain. Can you become stronger without spending money? Huh?]

[Current Forging Service: Unoccupied]

[Current Operating Room: Occupied]

The crowd of players looked at the notice, stunned for a few seconds.

Other societies, no matter how large their scale, ran their shops in proper order, just like real-world stores, treating customers as kings.

They had never seen such an arrogantly brazen shop.

It's said that big shops bully customers, but how come your little shop is also so pretentious?

Just when everyone was feeling disgruntled, a player wearing an L-shaped pipe-head cover snapped out of it and quickly said to Li Ang, "The forging service is available now, right? I'd like to apply."

Li Ang gave him a glance and silently nodded.

The pipe-head player excitedly pulled out a heavy sack from his inventory, and Li Ang unwrapped it to reveal a collection of dried human bones, a red cap, a pair of white gloves, and blue overalls.

Huh? Dude, did you just off some Italian plumber on his way to rescue a princess? Carrying around a bunch of dead man's bones into someone else's shop for forging in broad daylight, you've really got some nerve.

Li Ang silently mocked in his mind but kept a composed face, calmly nodded, took the sack back to the shop's partition, and poured its contents into the Forging Furnace.

Extraordinary Material Compatibility... 99%?

Okay, these items are definitely from some plumber.

Li Ang returned to the cash register and informed the pipe-head player that forging was possible, and the latter transferred 1,500 Game Coins promptly, planning to come back after 12 hours to collect.

Other players in the store, seeing this, hurriedly grabbed the customer information registration forms to sign up for equipment forging or medical appointments.

Before long, the first few sheets of the registration forms were all filled out, and more than half of the goods on the shelves had been taken, with the number of customers in the store returning to normal.

DING-DONG—

The shop door was pushed open again, ringing the bell at the bottom of the door frame.

Mule, wearing a horse head mask, walked in and showed Li Ang her player nickname.

"You're here."

Li Ang took his feet off the table. "What took you so long?"

"Sorry, got held up on the way," Mule spoke with a hoarse voice. "Do you have time now? My client wants to get the surgery done as soon as possible."

The client Mule was referring to was naturally her adopted sister, Laura.

At this moment, Laura was hiding inside a large Polar Bear Doll Suit, which stood 1.8 meters tall to avoid exposing her real-world height, making it very cumbersome to move around.

Noticing Li Ang's inquisitive gaze, Laura, dressed in the Polar Bear Doll Suit, nodded respectfully, staying silent.

Since she was brought by Mule, she must be somewhat reliable.

Li Ang stood up from behind the cash register. "Follow me."

He led the two into the operating room, turned on the lights, placed a few blood bag spheres on the table, and handed the product list to Laura in the doll suit. "Which surgery services would you like to purchase?"

Laura looked at the crimson blood bags on the table and the cold operating table, swallowed subconsciously to suppress her fear, and calmly ticked a few boxes on the product list as per Mule's earlier instructions. "This one, this one, and this one."

"Let's see..." Li Ang glanced at the list. "You're asking to increase Strength, Agility, and Physical Attributes from 6 to 9, to enhance the muscles and bones, and to install Hydra's Heart... Alright, I'll charge you the cost price of 3,000 Game Coins."

He squatted on the ground, used Alchemy to sink the floor, creating a single-person swimming pool lined with beige tiles, and poured the blood bags into it.

The room was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood. Li Ang pressed a button on the wall to start the air purification system, turned to Laura and said, "Alright, take off the suit and lie down in the pool." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"What?"

Laura took a half step back, looking with fear at the blood pool and its overpowering, fetid stench, her eyes involuntarily glancing at Mule.

Mule couldn't help asking, "Um... isn't the surgery supposed to be done on an operating table?"

"Who said you need an operating table?" Li Ang looked puzzled. "That's just a decoration in the room, like the red, horned, triple-speed thing. It's there for me to lie on and take a rest when I get tired from surgeries."

Ordinary medical procedures, Li Ang could finish in a minute, but for such large-scale Body Modifications, the patient had to lie in the pool for it to be efficient.

"This blood pool looks gory," Li Ang said, appearing to notice Laura's hesitation and fear, and offered some comfort. "But its main components are actually water, minerals, urea, uric acid, creatinine, lanolin, and stem cells. It's no different from the amniotic fluid of mammals. Of course, the urea content might be a bit high, so there's a slightly odd special smell, but I guarantee with my reputation, it smells foul but tastes fragrant. It's sour and spicy, rich and refreshing, invigorating, and nutritious. It's not a soup, but it's better than a soup. If you get tired during the surgery, you can have a sip or two, taste what it's like stewing yourself in a large pot."
