Chapter 227: Chapter 152: Crisis! Is the Whole World Targeting Me?! (Part 2)

"You go ahead with your work, I’ll leave the puppet here." A strand of Lu Xun’s consciousness possessed the Immortal Spirit Puppet and walked over to her.

Bam!

Then he was pounced on by the frantic Lillian.

She kissed and hugged Lu Xun like an idiot, touching here and there.

"...Don’t bother, it’s made of wood!" Lu Xun roared, "Let go of me!"

However, she was already conquered by 80% of the unchecked "Divine Charm" trait.

She completely ignored him.

"I don’t care, I just like it, wow! We have to be together forever!" She embraced a piece of broken wood amorously, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, her gaze dreamy, her mind utterly lost and unable to extricate herself.

Lu Xun, exasperated, directly used Nightmare Techniques to hypnotize her and altered her recent memories.

Then he "whooshed" out, flying into the other ear to hide.

"This is crazy..."

Lu Xun sighed, turned, and left the bathroom.

Once back to the cabin, indeed, the change was immediate.

Ding Xuezhu’s interest in him rapidly decreased, returning to normal.

Lu Xun stealthily read her mind.

[Strange... What happened to me today? Why did I have so many crazy thoughts about Xiao Lu? Oh my god! He’s still a child. Am I really a woman who’s easily swayed by attraction? Is this the first time I’ve realized my true nature after so many years? I even fantasized about having an affair with him, an office romance... I’m a terrible person!] — Ding Xuezhu introspectively thought, her face in shock.

She experienced severe self-doubt.

[No, it must have been an accident. I’ve heard that when people face severe crises, they instinctively have a strong reproductive impulse. After all, in a sense, reproducing offspring is a form of life extension. The will to survive triggers reproductive desires.] — She frantically tried to justify her inappropriate thoughts about Lu Xun,

[Yes, that’s reasonable! After all this pirate turmoil, I’ve had several close brushes with death and haven’t fully recovered today, which is why I... Well, these are uncontrollable biological instincts, there’s nothing wrong with me!] — Gradually, Ding Xuezhu managed to convince herself, calming down.

She subtly, with a slightly apologetic look, glanced at Lu Xun beside her.

Phew~

Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling released.

Thankfully, their friendship hadn’t changed.

"Xiao Lu, are you hungry? I’ll get you something to eat," Ding Xuezhu asked gently and warmly.

"Can’t we just order in?" Lu Xun responded with a hint of helplessness.

"No need to trouble them, I’ll go myself." She said, her eyes flickering with some guilt.

Although she convinced herself, she still felt a bit guilty and wanted to do something to make it up to Lu Xun.

Oh well, it’s not a big deal, as long as one doesn’t act on it, these thoughts aren’t illegal. There’s no need for such a high moral compass. Lu Xun mentally complained.

"Ahem, then... I’ll have a sandwich, thank you, Sister Ding," he said.

"Alright, alright, what would you like to drink?"

"Orange juice, please."

"Okay, I’ll get it for you, just wait a moment." She quickly got up and left, walking briskly to the dining area with her long legs.

After finishing his food, Lu Xun left the cabin to enjoy the scenery on the deck.

The warship was flying at super high speed at tens of thousands of meters altitude. Through the clouds, the land below, with its mountains and rivers, appeared tiny, like an exquisite sandbox.

Tap, tap...

Footsteps approached beside him.

Zhang Xinghai, with a cigarette in his mouth, approached Lu Xun.

"The view is beautiful." He remarked, "Standing high and looking far, Brother Xiao Lu, you’re in a fine mood. You didn’t play around with the Succubus last night, did you?"

Lu Xun turned to glance at his worn face and teased, "Unlike you, looking like you’re about to drop dead."

"To die under a flower is romantic," Zhang Xinghai blew out a smoke ring, looking entirely satisfied.

"Truthfully, last night might have been my last time enjoying the pleasures of being a man." He suddenly sighed, a subtle sadness crossing his brow.

Lu Xun was taken aback, giving him a once-over: "Are you going to have a sex change?"

"No." Zhang Xinghai’s expression turned more somber as he said in a deep voice, "After returning home, I intend to get a full Biochemical Armor implant. If successful, my strength will greatly increase, reaching Lord Tier Eight or above as a Biochemical Warrior. However, the surgery success rate is only 60%, and I might die on the operating table."

"That’s why last night, I shamelessly called you ’Mr. Lu’ because it might’ve been my only chance."

Biochemical Armor?

Lu Xun was momentarily stunned.

He obviously knew about it.

On the Human Alliance Technology side, there’s a multitude of ways to enhance individual strength.

Apart from injecting various genetic potions and implanting military prosthetic bodies, there are many "shortcuts."

"Bio-android" is one of those paths.

But opting for it means completely giving up one’s human identity.

Because biochemical modification is more extreme than prosthetic modification, and the surgery process is exceedingly brutal.

Transforming from a human to a biochemical warrior entails unimaginable pain.

...And the mortality rate is high!

The only upside is it’s affordable.

Lu Xun was surprised Zhang Xinghai would make such a choice.

He’s no longer a wanted criminal, regained his freedom, and even has a high-paying job. Why choose to "court death"?

"I was hesitant, but after this incident, I’ve made up my mind."

"Do you know how much hatred I felt when facing that King Level Sea Giant? I hated my own weakness, my lack of power. As a combatant, I couldn’t even protect myself. I’m sick of this helplessness!"
