"Beauty, your boyfriend is really generous. Hehehe."
Li Woke counted the money, put it into the cabinet, and looked at Xi Jian with a smile.
"He's not my boyfriend."
Xi Jian gave him a sidelong glance.
"Not?"
"Just a normal friend."
"Oh~"
Li Woke sized up Xi Jian from head to toe, then let out a meaningful "Oh."
"Is there a problem?"
Li Woke shook his head.
"Then do you like him?"
"Why are you asking that?"
Xi Jian asked warily.
"Look at you, your eyes aren't big enough, and you have single eyelids."
"These are inner double eyelids! Inner double!"
Xi Jian was almost driven to death by the boss.
Actually, this young girl was quite good-looking. After Li Woke realized that creating body anxiety was useless, he immediately changed his tactic.
"Your legs are very nice, slender, well-proportioned, and fair."
Hearing Li Woke praise her, Xi Jian lifted her chin and said proudly, "Of course."
Then Li Woke changed the subject.
"It's just that your overall figure isn't S-shaped enough."
Li Woke gestured with his hands like waves.
"Your butt isn't perky enough."
"And this cleavage, sigh."
Xi Jian's face flushed.
"I'm still developing!"
"Good sister, it's okay to lie to big brother, but don't lie to yourself."
"How about this, I also have prosthetic body implants here. Painless 30-minute surgery, allowing you to immediately have a proud pair of peaks!"
Li Woke then rummaged through a pile of miscellaneous items as if he were sifting through trash, pulling out a pair of prosthetic bodies.
"Sorry, these are new arrivals, I haven't had time to organize them yet."
Xi Jian frowned as she looked at the prosthetic body, which was about the same size as the female zombie Qi Xiao had caught earlier.
"This is too big, won't it be heavy to walk around with?"
"No, this prosthetic body uses magnetic levitation technology internally, ensuring you feel as light as if it were original!"
"Look."
With that, Li Woke tore open the packaging, activated the magnetic levitation, and released his hands, letting the two large flesh balls float steadily in the air.
"Let's just forget about it."
Xi Jian waved her hands repeatedly, shaking her head and backing away.
"It's really too big."
"No problem, I have a smaller size too!"
After speaking, Li Woke started rummaging again.
"Sister, listen to your brother. To capture a man's heart, you must first capture a man's eyes!"
...
Qi Xiao followed Viktor into the elevator and arrived at B2.
As rows of induction lights turned on, the entire space instantly brightened.
The entire B2 was more than three times larger than the shop above ground.
On the silver walls, various prosthetic bodies, weapons, and parts were hung neatly and orderly.
The tools on the tool cart were also neatly and orderly arranged, forming a stark contrast to the chaotic shop upstairs.
The ground was also spotless, clearly cleaned thoroughly every day.
"First, take out that headless corpse, I'll go prepare the tools."
Qi Xiao took out Li Zailong and, by the way, stripped off his clothes.
"So you're the chief surgeon."
"Modifying corpses is too simple; Master just doesn't want to do it."
"Master is very capable; he taught me all of this."
After Viktor secured the prepared corpse onto the operating table, the robotic arm fired a laser to begin cutting, completely extracting Li Zailong's 'heart,' the nuclear energy device.
This device was about the size of Qi Xiao's fist, with a shiny silver shell, and a light blue core vaguely visible in the exposed areas.
He placed the core in an ultrasonic cleaning machine to clean it thoroughly, then secured it into a device resembling a pet dryer and began testing it.
【Identifying... CK.2 Infinite Core Advanced Model...】
【Integrity 63%... Core temperature 12°, good condition...】
Viktor adjusted his glasses and said to Qi Xiao, with his back turned:
"Did this core activate a self-destruct program?"
"Can't it be used anymore?"
"It can be used."
"It won't suddenly explode, will it?"
"No, it's just that the effect won't be as good as a complete core."
"Whatever, as long as it works. Hurry up, I'm in a rush."
After receiving confirmation from Qi Xiao, Viktor removed it and set it aside for later use.
"Take off that zombie's clothes and put him on that device."
Viktor pointed to an upright human scanner in the corner.
Qi Xiao took out Ren Laotaiye, stripped him of his clothes, and controlled him to jump in himself.
Viktor watched this scene with a look of astonishment:
"He, he can move?! Isn't this a corpse?"
"A moving corpse, no big deal."
Since these Train Conductors appeared, Viktor had seen many strange things, and now he was used to it.
He swallowed, then closed the glass cover.
The circular platform beneath Ren Laotaiye's feet began to rotate, and the scanner started operating.
After the 3D scan was completed, the system automatically calculated and began modeling.
The metal 3D printer next door received the data and began working, printing custom-fitted metal armor for Ren Laotaiye.
Viktor, meanwhile, disassembled and cleaned all the remaining useful parts from Li Zailong's body.
Replacing the hollowed-out Li Zailong, Ren Laotaiye successfully lay on the 'operating table.'
Viktor proceeded methodically, beginning the modifications according to Qi Xiao's requirements.
All his long fingernails were neatly trimmed, and all ten fingers were modified, with the fingertips capable of firing energy bullets.
Their power was no less than that of an ordinary rifle.
In close combat mode, Ren Laotaiye's arms also had retractable laser claws, about forty centimeters long, capable of easily cutting through one-centimeter-thick steel plates.
His eyes were also replaced with prosthetic eyes, featuring thermal and trace scanning functions.
His mouth could even fire the same energy cannon as Li Zailong, capable of melting walls.
It just required a longer charging time.
Finally, the newly 3D-printed full-coverage external armor was assembled, and from then on, Ren Laotaiye would no longer fear sunlight.
After the modifications were complete, Qi Xiao spent more than ten minutes re-adapting to this 'new body.'
After Viktor finished the modifications, he cleaned up the workbench, put all the tools back in place, and the cleaning robot came to sweep the floor.
Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.
During the test, Qi Xiao discovered a new problem.
He looked at Viktor.
"No, I can't receive the thermal and scan data from the prosthetic eyes. See if it can be changed to another function."
...
"Come again next time! Qi Xiao, my good brother!"
Li Woke enthusiastically saw Qi Xiao off, even giving him a permanent membership card before he left.
He claimed that this card offered a lifetime 5% discount, free maintenance for prosthetic bodies modified within a year, and other benefits.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't successfully trick that girl into getting modifications.
Otherwise, he would have earned even more this time.
Going down to B2, Li Woke contentedly put the fifty thousand order coins into the safe.
As soon as the safe opened, he froze.
"Viktor! Where's my piece of True Ice?"
Viktor was adding lubricant to the gears of the cleaning robot and replied without lifting his head:
"It's been used."
"Used? When was it used, and where?"
"For that zombie modification just now."
Li Woke rushed over frantically, grabbing Viktor's shoulders and shaking him vigorously.
"What? Say that again, where was it used!"
"It's a zombie, and it's covered in a whole layer of armor. To prevent decay, I used True Ice as the core to create a complete cooling system for him."
"True Ice superconducts, efficiently dissipates heat, and never overloads."
"You motherf—"
Li Woke looked at the self-assured Viktor, his molars almost grinding to dust.
"I'm screwed!"
"Do you know that a small piece of True Ice costs fifteen thousand order coins at wholesale! Including the armor and prosthetic eyes, the material cost alone is at least forty thousand order coins!"
"I know, Master. Don't worry, I factored all of that in from the beginning."
"I even added five thousand for the modification fee."
Viktor looked proud.
"Added five thousand? Your total quoted price was only fifty thousand!"
Li Woke slapped his forehead, feeling like the sky was falling.
This kid had a lot of talent for learning modification techniques, but he knew absolutely nothing about business!
He had lost at least thirty thousand order coins on this single order!
