Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1385 - 1078: Examination (First Update)

Soon, Lan Xi led Su Mo towards the depths of the medical area.

She took Su Mo into a separate locked room.

Inside the room was a gigantic ring-shaped medical device. Although it looked somewhat dated, judging by its structure, it was clearly quite advanced.

"This equipment is pretty nice."

Su Mo looked up and down at the gigantic medical device.

"Of course it’s nice. This instrument was excavated by an expedition team from an abandoned base. It was produced by Star Ring City in earlier years and is of a very top-tier kind. The only drawback is that every time it’s activated, it consumes quite a lot of energy stones."

As Lan Xi carefully adjusted the equipment, she explained.

"Uh, actually, there’s no need for all that trouble. I guess it’s just the recent stress that’s been causing my sleepless nights. Maybe you could just prescribe me some sleeping pills."

Su Mo replied a bit hesitantly.

"No way, take off all your clothes."

Lan Xi replied with unusual firmness.

"That’s not very appropriate, is it?"

Su Mo grew increasingly embarrassed.

"When did you become so fussy? Don’t worry, in a doctor’s eyes, whether you’re clothed or not is all the same."

Lan Xi chuckled as she responded.

Seeing Lan Xi say this, Su Mo knew he couldn’t refuse, so he braced himself and took off his shirt.

Lan Xi glanced at Su Mo’s body, and her expression changed dramatically. She hurried to Su Mo, ignoring the equipment.

She reached out and touched the prominent polluted blood stains on Su Mo’s body, feeling deeply shocked. Her eyes turned slightly red, and in a trembling voice, she said,

"Why are there so many polluted blood stains?"

"Oh, it’s nothing. It’s not uncomfortable either."

Seeing Lan Xi’s strong reaction, Su Mo smiled and comforted her.

"Nothing’s wrong? How can you say nothing’s wrong when it’s this serious? Haven’t you received treatment?"

Lan Xi asked with a hint of anger in her voice.

"Well, there’s no effect from the treatment, so I haven’t really undergone much. Since it can’t be cured, I haven’t bothered."

Su Mo explained, feeling a bit guilty:

"Nonsense, there’s no such thing as an incurable disease in this world. We just haven’t found the method yet. Go lie down!"

Lan Xi retorted with a bit of anger.

"Okay, okay."

Seeing that Lan Xi was a bit angry, Su Mo quickly lay down.

Soon Lan Xi had the device adjusted and started it up. The whole machine hummed, and a soft blue light began to sweep across Su Mo’s body comprehensively.

Lan Xi kept her eyes on the operating screen, continuously inputting commands.

The whole room was extremely quiet, making Su Mo feel inexplicably discomforted. He smiled, breaking the silence, and said.

"Actually, you don’t have to force it. It’s okay if it doesn’t work."

"Shut up. You’re almost at death’s door, and you still have the energy to joke. We’re defining a new standard for measuring an individual’s pollution level, called the CCR index. A normal person goes mad or mutates at 1000 points, and your CCR index has reached 30,000+. Although you haven’t mutated yet, some organs are already abnormal and deviating from the normal range."

Lan Xi explained with deep concern.

"Ah, really? But I don’t feel any discomfort, except occasionally."

Su Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious. It really shocked him after the examination.

"If you continue like this, there are only two results. Either you suddenly fall and become a monster, or you might mutate into a new individual."

"No way, cough, are you sure you got this right?"

"You think I’m joking with you? I’ve been focusing on researching human negative energy mutation on the front line for years. I’m not saying I’m better than the doctors of Star Ring City, but I’m definitely better than ordinary civilization doctors."

Lan Xi said with a serious expression.

"Then what should I do?"

Su Mo asked awkwardly.

"I’ll prescribe you two pills, one is a soothing potion I’ve mixed up, which should be able to slow down your negative energy growth. The other is a drug called CFSC-01, a new drug synthesized from specific monsters on Ceres. If you feel your body getting out of control one day, take one piece."

As Lan Xi spoke, she got up and went to the corner safe, starting to input the key.

Tick-tock~

The safe opened, revealing a dense array of medicine bottles.

Lan Xi accurately picked out and began configuring them.

Su Mo curiously watched and suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Lan Xi, can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

Lan Xi replied calmly.

"Have you heard of a fruit called the Pala Fruit, said to be produced on Ceres?"

Su Mo inquired eagerly.

Lan Xi was slightly stunned. After thinking for a moment, she said to Su Mo, "I haven’t heard of it, but I can keep an eye out for you."

"Oh, okay. By the way, do you think such a harsh environment on Ceres can really grow fruit?"

Su Mo humbly sought Lan Xi’s advice.

"It can. Monsters are also life forms. Since so many monsters can survive on Ceres, it proves it’s not a Death Star. The so-called suitable environment varies for different races, and the standards differ. Ceres is harsh for us, but for some special species, it’s a suitable planet for survival."

Lan Xi explained her research insights to Su Mo.

"Oh, I see."

Su Mo fell into contemplation. It seemed that the Pala Fruit might indeed exist. It’s just that Ceres is so large, who knows when it can be found?

While Su Mo was dazed, Lan Xi approached him, handing over the configured medications, along with an unlabelled bottle.

"This soothing potion, take one per week, and remember my words for the CFSC-01 drug, don’t take it unless absolutely necessary. It’s harmful to your body when taken."

"Alright."

"I’ll be developing new anti-pollution medications here. If a better suppressive drug is developed, I’ll have someone send it to you."

"Okay."

Su Mo didn’t stand on ceremony.

At this time, Lan Xi’s bracelet vibrated. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

She glanced at the message that popped up and said to Su Mo, "There’s a rather serious patient, so I’ll have to go. I can’t accompany you anymore."

"Alright, take care of yourself too."

Su Mo nodded in response.

"Yes, you as well."

Lan Xi nodded back, giving Su Mo a deep look before turning and leaving.

Su Mo stood still, watching Lan Xi’s departing figure, feeling a bit sentimental. Things and people really do change. Once upon a time, she was a weak girl who had to bow to the pressures of life, but now she’s grown into an independent strong woman.

"Ah~ time really doesn’t spare anyone! There’s no going back."

...

Not long after, Su Mo left the medical area, holding the medicine bottles, feeling a warm sense in his heart.

At this moment, the low voice of the Fake Owner, the Swallower, resonated.

"I scanned the medication the girl gave you. It’s quite good. Though it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, something is better than nothing."

"That’s true."

Su Mo nodded.
