Chapter 14: The Encounter After Surgery (Part One)

  In Villa Old Zhou's dedicated laboratory, Muxin Xing was now lying on a clean operating table after being fully anesthetized. To be honest, Lao Xia was not very confident about the upcoming ability transplant surgery.

  Looking around the room, there was no sign of a professional operating room, and Lao Xia, wearing a surgical gown he had just bought, couldn't help but ask worriedly through his mask: "Lao Zhou, is it too risky to perform an ability transplant on Mu Xiaozi in this environment with such simple conditions? After all, you've never done any experiments like this before. To be honest, I'm really worried about Mu Xingxing's safety!"

  Lao Xia, who was busy preparing the surgical instruments for the upcoming operation, confidently said to his old friend: "I know what you're worried about! Don't worry, although our conditions are a bit simple, we're only performing a small surgery, it won't take long! Mu Xiaozi should be able to move around freely by this afternoon!"

  Seeing Old Zhou's confidence, Old Xia didn't say anything else! The current situation is equivalent to participating in a gamble. If they win the bet, Mudustar will obtain an incredibly powerful ability. If they lose the bet, the consequences are unknown to the three of them! However, it seems that their chances of winning are still quite high!

  Under the help of Lao Zhou, an unlicensed doctor, and Lao Xia, a complete outsider, Muxin Xing became the first person to undergo ability transplantation surgery in such a crude operating environment. Fortunately, the surgical process went very smoothly!

  Looking at Muxin Xing who was still under anesthesia after the surgery, Old Xia asked Old Zhou who was wiping his sweat: "When will Muxin wake up?"

  Old Zhou looked at the data displayed on the life sign monitor, which was also newly purchased, and said: "It will probably take another hour or two! Why don't we go outside to rest for a while? Anyway, staying here won't be of any help!"

  This idea is not bad, Lao Xia now has experienced the pressure of doctors during surgery. He was just assisting Lao Zhou and was already very tense, but when the surgery was over, he finally let out a sigh of relief!

  Then Old Xia took the lead in taking off his surgical gown and other necessary equipment, and hurriedly walked out. Now he was going to relax! And Old Zhou also took off his surgical gown and followed him to the living room. As for Mu Chen Xing, who had just undergone eye surgery, he was completely forgotten by them in a very irresponsible manner!

  Sitting comfortably on the sofa in the living room, Old Xia took a sip of his fragrant tea and said to Old Zhou, who was also resting and drinking tea on one side: "Old Zhou, I may not be very familiar with surgical matters, but I recall you saying that Xiao Zuo's surgery wasn't a major one. Why did it seem like he underwent general anesthesia? Isn't general anesthesia only used for major surgeries? And isn't general anesthesia supposed to be administered by specialized anesthesiologists? Have you had any experience with anesthesia before?"

  Upon hearing Old Xia's question, Old Zhou took a sip of his fragrant tea and smiled: "How could I possibly have any professional knowledge or experience? After all, I studied biochemistry! As for medicine, I've only done some research. In the past, I even assisted others during my internship!"

  If it were an ordinary person who heard Old Zhou's words, they would have been scared to death. How could someone with no actual surgical experience dare to perform surgery on someone? It's simply too crazy! However, Old Xia was indeed Old Zhou's old friend for many years, and upon hearing this, he actually laughed jokingly: "Hey, didn't we just perform that surgery without a license? I didn't know we had the talent to be doctors! The operation went so smoothly! By the way, where did the anesthetic come from? That stuff is not easy to buy!"

  Seeing Old Zhou smiling without making a sound, Old Xia suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at Old Zhou with some disbelief: "Don't tell me, you came up with these anesthetics yourself?"

  Looking at Lao Xia's astonished expression, Lao Zhou also acknowledged very succinctly: "This is no big deal, the anesthetic used in this operation was indeed specially made by me, originally intended for use as a weapon for Mu Xiaozi. Ordinary people will fall unconscious for a whole day after inhaling it, the effect is very good! Unexpectedly, the first time it was actually used on Mu Xiaozi himself!

  But you forgot that Mu Xiaozi once said that after he first entered the movie world, he had been injected with a strong hallucinogenic antidote serum, so his body has a very strong resistance to anesthetics. Moreover, there is also the existence of the T virus in his body! It was because of these reasons that I dared to give him general anesthesia, which would make our operation more convenient!

  After hearing Old Zhou's explanation, Old Xia nodded in agreement and said: "This is indeed the case! That surgery was also completed in less than two hours, it was quite swift! But will Shuō Xiǎozi become like Medusa afterwards? As long as he makes eye contact with someone, they'll completely turn to stone! If that's really the case, then we're in trouble!"

  As for the situation that Lao Xia was worried about, Lao Zhou didn't have much to worry about. So he said in a relaxed tone, "I think it shouldn't appear as the kind of situation you're worried about, after all we've transplanted Medusa's petrification ability, not like Medusa who has the original ability."

  "When using petrification ability, the power may not be as fierce as Medusa's, and it will be like Deadpool's optic blast in the movie, with a change process when the ability is activated! Normally, it should be similar to normal eyes!"

  After listening to Old Zhou's explanation, Old Xia also felt much more at ease. Otherwise, if Mochou Xing had surgery and still had a pair of eyes that could turn people into stone at any moment, it would be hard not to cause a stir!

  Lao Zhou suddenly remembered the upcoming transaction and asked Lao Xia, who was in charge of it: "By the way, Lao Xia, has the time and place for this transaction with the US side been finalized? After all, we don't have any experience in this area! Better to be safe than sorry!"

  As soon as Old Zhou asked this, Old Xia immediately came to his senses and smiled: "You can rest assured that the time will be two days later in the evening, and the location is near the most bustling pedestrian street in the city! I watched a lot of movies about such scenes on the internet yesterday, and I have analyzed the possible things to pay attention to and the related matters that can be predicted with Huo Yenniang, using them as references for our transaction this time. As for the transaction method, I also gained inspiration from the movie, guaranteeing that there will be no accidents!"

  Seeing Old Xia's confidence, Old Zhou smiled and said: "That's great! This time it's related to a large sum of money! Our future plans want to go smoothly, all relying on this transaction! Really want to quickly own our own large laboratory and that secret base!"

  Indeed, 8.5 billion US dollars is already enough to fully satisfy the establishment of Lao Xia's research institute and the initial construction of the secret base according to current domestic prices!

  Lao Zhou and his group believed that as long as they could lay a solid foundation, then with the storage ring in Muxu's hand, developing their own power would be absolutely no problem!

  About two hours after Lao Xia and Lao Zhou rested in the living room, Mudan Xing, who was lying on the experimental platform, had completely woken up.

  Looking around the empty laboratory, Muxin Xing knew that those two must have gone out to rest immediately after his successful surgery. He ripped off the life sign monitors on his body and said helplessly: "Old Zhou, Old Xia these two guys are really something! They actually just left me here like this. It seems my surgery was successfully completed, now I just don't know how my power is!"

  After getting up and going down, Muxu Xing found that there was a mirror on the wall not far in front of him. He immediately walked over to face the mirror on the wall. With a movement of his mind, Muxu Xing discovered that his eyes were gradually changing, and white light began to emanate from them like Medusa's in the movies!

  Looking at the eyes that had completely turned into white light in the mirror, Muxin Xing smiled and said "It seems that Medusa's eye ability has been successfully transplanted. Now I finally have a real killer move, it will be much more convenient to deal with all sorts of strange creatures in the movie world from now on!"

  After putting away his killer move, Mu Chen Xing walked out of the room and headed towards the living room. Upon arriving at the living room, he found Old Zhou and the others leaning against the sofa chatting, so he walked over and said: "You two are quite confident, aren't you? Looks like you came to rest as soon as the surgery was done!"

  Seeing Mu Xing walking over, Old Zhou immediately smiled and asked, "You're awake! How are you feeling?"

  After plopping down on another sofa, Muxu Xing replied: "Not bad! The petrification ability seems to be more useful than the mental force attack. I can use it as soon as I think about it! However, its power hasn't been tested yet!"

  The old Xia sitting on the left side of Muxun Xing said to him, "Little guy, don't test it here! I don't want to accidentally turn into a stone statue. If you want to try out its power, go outside and find any creature to experiment with!"

  Looking at Lao Xia's worried look, Muxin Xing couldn't help but smile and say: "Don't worry, I won't mess things up! Just now, I seemed to have overheard you discussing something about a transaction with the American side the day after tomorrow. Is there some trouble?"

  "No trouble, but just the location of the transaction with the other party, we don't know much about the environment around the pedestrian street! So I plan to ask you to go there tonight after you wake up and use Lao Xia's holographic recorder to record the surroundings!" Old Zhou told Mudanxing about their conversation.

  Mudanxing agreed very readily: "No problem, I'll go to the pedestrian street after dinner!"

  Since it's still a while before nightfall, Lao Xia turned to Lao Zhou and Mu Chenxing and said: "Alright! Now let's take this opportunity to carefully discuss some matters that we need to pay attention to next!"

  Mudan Xing and Old Zhou nodded and began to discuss seriously with Old Xia, and the three of them continued to deliberate until evening.

  Then, according to plan, Muxun Star took the small holographic recorder modified by Old Xia and headed towards the famous pedestrian street in Lushan City.

  However, just as Muxu Xing was walking towards the pedestrian street, a pair of resentful eyes on a high-end sports car in the distance stared at Muxu Xing's back as he left, and then dialed the phone in his hand!
