After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS-Chapter 128 - 117: World Shift

(Double Chapter)

...

From Su Mo's perspective, he naturally hoped Dongdong would redo the basic adaptation surgery to better harness her strength.

But it's easier said than done; after all, it's not him on the operating table, so how could he decide so lightly for someone else?

After thinking it over, Su Mo decided to ask the person involved: "Dongdong, what do you think?"

Dongdong lay on the bed, her legs swinging back and forth, appearing nonchalant: "Why ask me? You're the boss. If you think it needs to be done, just do it."

Su Mo shook his head: "You're the one on the operating table, not me. The pain's yours, I won't be so selfish as to make decisions for you."

Dongdong turned her head lazily, "Stop being pretentious. In your heart, you're probably thinking—from a long-term perspective, this surgery is necessary."

"Then just do it, no need to worry about me. I'm not some girl who cries over a shot. I've been beaten up plenty since I was young, I'm used to pain~"

Dongdong joked carelessly, but Su Mo knew this carefree appearance was for his benefit, to ease his decision-making burden.

Future's gaze shifted between the two, tentatively asking, "So... whose opinion do I follow?"

Dongdong spoke before Su Mo: "Go ahead, quickly, don't dilly-dally. The sooner it starts, the sooner it ends, hurry, hurry."

Su Mo also pressed his lips together and nodded to Future.

Future handed a list to Su Mo: "Boss, help me buy some stuff. These medicines and equipment are needed for the surgery."

Many items on the list were controlled substances, so Su Mo had to go to the border black market to obtain them.

When Su Mo returned, Dongdong was taken into the surgery room for an 18-hour operation while awake.

Su Mo sat on the stairs leading to the basement, waiting quietly for news.

Time seemed to slow, with every second feeling endlessly long.

Gradually, night fell; the noise of the outside world quieted down, and no sound came from the lab.

Su Mo sat alone in the dim stairwell, able to hear his own heavy heartbeat, silent and anxious.

At some unknown time, KK came and sat beside Su Mo, gently patting his shoulder, a silent comfort.

Su Mo nodded and continued waiting with KK. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Finally, by the next morning, the wait came to an end.

The lab door opened, and Future came out.

Su Mo hurriedly asked, "How did it go?"

Future removed her protective mask, her expression as calm as ever, wordlessly declaring the success of the surgery.

She paused for a moment, then gave a thumbs-up, "Really tough, not a single sound for the whole 18 hours."

Su Mo and KK exchanged glances.

Su Mo: "Can I go see her?"

Future: "Yes, just don't touch the stitches."

The two entered the lab, where the smell of chemicals mingled with the scent of blood.

Dongdong lay on the medical bed, covered in blood-soaked stitches, intertwining from head to toe as if she had been cut countless times.

Dongdong's eyes were half-open, half-closed, lying there weakly, blood-stained saliva occasionally dripping from her mouth, with traces of tears from excessive pain still visible on her face.

Su Mo crouched beside the bed, softly asked, "Dongdong, are you okay?"

Dongdong bit her lip tightly, her pale lips trembling, blinking as tears uncontrollably flowed.

She choked out a few words: "It's quite painful..."

Su Mo suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

Dongdong is the type to never admit defeat, even when beaten to the ground, every part of her weak, her mouth still stubborn.

Now her mouth couldn't hold back, tears flowing as she admitted it hurt, imagining how extreme the pain was.

Everywhere on Dongdong's body was wounded, Su Mo dared not touch her, softly comforting, "It's over now, rest well."

Dongdong closed her eyes, the sedative injected by Future taking effect, and she drifted into sleep.

...

In Su Mo's original world, after such a comprehensive large-scale surgery, one would be bedridden for at least a month, and full recovery would take six months.

But not in the Dawn Realm, where technology is advanced, medical techniques are superior, and many miraculous potent medicines exist.

Su Mo spent a fortune buying the best medicine for Dongdong to quickly heal post-surgery wounds.

The next day she regained consciousness, and by the fifth day, her wounds were completely healed without a single scar.

Now, the fully recovered Dongdong sat on the bed, a drumstick in one hand, and bread in the other, eating heartily, her spirits restored.

She bit into the drumstick, chewing while asking KK, "Shorty, your cooking is really good, where did you learn it?"

Over the past few days, the three frequently visited Dongdong. She became familiar with KK and Future, developing a bad habit of nicknaming people.

KK thought: I'm at least 156 cm, how can you, at 146 cm, call me short?

He casually replied, "I never used to cook, but since the boss and Future didn't either, I had no choice but to learn from the recipes myself, and over time I got the hang of it."

"Great, keep it up; I love it." Dongdong paused eating, craning her neck toward the door, "Where's Panda? When can I go out? I haven't fought anyone in a week, and my hands are itching."

Future happened to come in holding a test report: "The results are out, all functions are normal, and you can move freely again."

"Yay—" Dongdong leapt off the bed, did a backflip, and threw punches at the air.

She moved her joints, looking at herself, "I feel no different than before, Panda, you're not tricking me, right?"
