Chapter 249: Dr. House
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the Golden Eagle left Red Shield, Neptune informed Liliath and Elsa about his plan.
“Lili, Elsa, this is my plan. We will use the spaceship’s space leap function and travel from Aegus Cosmos to Rado Cosmos. The space leap will take about five hours, which is the distance of one hundred and sixty billion light-years. The two cosmoses are considered to be advanced civilizations within Faye Cosmic Nation. They are neighbors, which is why there is a direct space passage between them and there is no need to use the unstable Border River territory.
“Besides that, I have already made calculations. By performing a space leap, the spaceship will use 87% of its energy. I’ve also determined the best landing coordinate after the space leap. It will take about 5% of the spaceship’s energy. We will only need less than twenty minutes of flight before we arrive at our real destination, Medicinal Stone. There is a doctor named House on Medicinal Stone. He is ranked number one in the entire Rado Cosmos for his medical abilities. He is also ranked within the top ten in Faye Cosmic Nation.”
Liliath voiced a question after listening to Neptune’s arrangements, “Neptune, I have no objections to your plan. However, there’s something I’m curious about. Why do we need to travel such a distance? Can’t we find the nearest hospital after one or two space leaps to help care for Biggie and Tagore? Shouldn’t they be treated as soon as possible since they are wounded so badly?”
“There are three reasons for this. One, Aegus Cosmos is filled with spies from the Childe family. After destroying their mansion, they won’t let us off so easily. Biggie and Tagore’s wounds can’t be healed in a short amount of time. If we are discovered, it would affect their healing process and we would be at a great disadvantage if their recuperation is cut short. By directly leaping to the Rado Cosmos, they won’t be able to find us in such a short amount of time as long as we keep a low profile. We can fight for more time to get Biggie and Tagore treated there.
“Second, Biggie and Tagore’s wounds are much more serious than they seem to be. They can’t be treated by an ordinary doctor. We need to get the best doctor for them. I’m not even entirely sure if the doctor called House will be able to help them heal completely. Another reason we’re doing this is that Gu Ding had previously promised a friend to visit someone in this cosmos. That person is also a doctor and has a very special ability.”
“I understand. We’ll go with your plan. Let us know if there is anything you need us to do.” Liliath became even more worried about Biggie and Tagore’s conditions after hearing Neptune’s explanation. Nevertheless, she did not continue asking about their wounds because she would not be able to help them even if she did. All she could do was feel anxious for them. In that case, it would be more helpful to lighten Neptune’s burden wherever she could.
“I’m preparing to activate the space leap. Both of you can help secure Gu Ding and the others properly. After that, make sure you have secured yourselves. The space leap process will cause the spaceship to experience turbulence. Don’t panic when that happens,” Neptune instructed without holding back. Neptune had no physical body and there were many things he could not do, hence, he needed their help with such things.
Liliath and Elsa immediately set out to help secure Gu Ding, Biggie, and Tagore to the sofa by using intelligent sleeping bags.
Intelligent sleeping bags were a type of technologically advanced item. They were convenient to bring along for outdoor trips because of their size that looked to be that of a peanut. Once the button on an intelligent sleeping bag was pressed, it would activate it, and the peanut would start producing threads that would weave into a sleeping bags around the person, wrapping the person up within it while securing it in a suitable location. Once one was done using it, all one had to do was deactivate it through voice control, ‘deactivate sleeping bag’, and it would revert to its original peanut size.
After securing the others, Liliath and Elsa proceeded to tie themselves down securely to two recliners near the sofa. Liliath had bought them on a free day. All it took was the press of a button and the recliners would release a magnetic force that would secure them tightly to the surface of the spaceship.
Neptune checked on them and found that even though the two girls sometimes acted quite carelessly, when it came to crucial times, they were very thorough. His worries were eased slightly. “Is everything ready? I’m about to activate the space leap.”
The spaceship accelerated in speed the moment Neptune said this. Just as Neptune had said previously, the spaceship began to experience slight turbulence. It was the first time everyone was experiencing the effects of a space leap. Only spaceships of Golden Eagle grade and above had the space leap function.
Neptune reminded them, “Get some rest, you two. I’ll wake you up when we arrive at Medicinal Stone. When that time comes, there’ll be a lot for you to do. I’ve tweaked House’s appointment system to place us as second in his appointments. The first person is someone who is in urgent need of a heart transplant. His heart will arrive at around 7.30 am over there. The operation should be done by 11 am. On the other hand, we’ll arrive at roughly 10.30 am in their time zone. I’ve also checked to make sure that none of the patients behind us are in any life-threatening dangers even though some of those people made appointments more than ten days ago…”
The two girls were exhausted after a full night of action. Hence, they took Neptune’s suggestion and quickly fell deep asleep.
Neptune navigated the spaceship’s space leap closely while also paying attention to any changes that may occur in Gu Ding. Even though he was hindered by a layer of radiation whenever he checked on Gu Dingm he was still able to conduct a few simple diagnoses regarding changes to Gu Ding’s physical body. Neptune quickly noticed Gu Ding’s rapid breathing.
In fact, Gu Ding’s body was changing tremendously internally.
The black energy had appeared out of thin air within Gu Ding’s body after the demon face had disappeared. It was reaching out with numerous tentacles as it swept through every corner of Gu Ding’s body. The major circulation of the Sun Sutra within Gu Ding’s body was quickly discovered by the black tentacles.
When it found the Sun Sutra’s major circulation in Gu Ding’s body, the black energy started to go into a frenzy as it entangled itself around the circulation. The four major circulations of Righteous Force within Gu Ding’s body were immediately dyed black as if they were contaminated. However, that was just the start. After contaminating the four major circulations, the black energy started to imitate the activation of the Sun Sutra from Gu Ding’s memory. It moved as if it had the support of unlimited energy, and in less than an hour, managed to complete the fifth major circulation. Gu Ding had always taken at least a week before he managed to complete one major circulation, and even then, he could only do it with the help of a sufficient energy source.
The black energy did not stop after completing the fifth major circulation and instead continued with its activity. For the next few hours, Gu Ding achieved consecutive breakthroughs at a crazy speed of one major circulation for each hour that passed. By the time the Golden Eagle had finished space leaping, Gu Ding’s body had completed a total of nine major circulations. The nine black-colored major circulations had also connected with each other in a strange way, creating a three-dimensional structure of an even bigger energy circulation system.
The completion of this huge energy circulation system ignited a quick change in the essence of the Righteous Force within Gu Ding’s body. The Righteous Force was original golden, but it was now slowly turning black-adapting a consistency which was sticky and heavy. If Neptune had noticed the changes in Gu Ding’s body, he would have shouted in surprise as what was happening in Gu Ding’s body was something that only happened to a demigod who was in the midst of producing a God Source. The creation of a God Source normally only happened through the repeated fusing of Righteous Force with Ultra Fire that resulted in a change of essence of one’s Righteous Force. A situation such as Gu Ding’s was unheard of-where the process happened so easily without the help of an Ultra Fire to help with the transformation.
Every part of a real deity’s body was made of God Source particles. Gu Ding’s transformation, however, involved only the Righteous Force within his veins. His body was still human, and it was different from a deity’s. Nevertheless, to possess God Source meant that Gu Ding would be able to directly attack a deity lethally without the use of a god or demigod item.
When the spaceship arrived on Medicinal Stone, the Righteous Force within Gu Ding had not yet finished its transformation. His body was still undergoing changes.
Neptune woke up Liliath and Elsa, sent House’s address along with a map to both their intelligent wristwatches, and asked them to put on masks as disguises according to his instructions. He instructed them to help Biggie put on one as well.
“Both of you will need to put up with these in order to try and fight for more treatment time for Biggie and Tagore. I’ve sent fake identifications to all three of your intelligent wristwatches, do take a look at them. I’ve also made the necessary changes to the clinic’s system. Remember, from now on, Biggie is Mr. Corbic. Lili, you’re Olive, and Elsa is Abby. You are both Mr. Corbic’s daughters and you’re here traveling in the nearby Star Sector. If they ask you anything, don’t reply immediately. Just wait for my instructions and follow my answers.” Neptune had thought of everything. He had already made up stories that were believable in order to avoid any suspicion that they were Gu Ding’s crew. He had even masked the Golden Eagle with a fake color by using a holographic projection before descending to the port. The toy had been previously made by Robert. It was capable of projecting a holographic image to disguise the ship’s original color.
After disguising themselves properly, Elsa carried Biggie on her shoulders while Lili carried Tagore. They went straight to the address Neptune had given them.
They managed to arrive right on time for their appointment.
The girls followed a nurse into a consultation room and Elsa placed Biggie on to a bed the nurse had pointed to. Biggie was a little too big for the bed.
The doctor named House walked into the consultation room and lifted his head to look at Liliath and the others as he frowned tightly. “Hey, you guys must have hacked into our system to arrange yourselves as second in the appointment list, am I right?!”
Liliath and Elsa jumped when they heard this accusation…
