Chapter 397: Chapter 396: Human Body Refinement

"Right, I’ve noticed that you have more fat on your stomach and thighs, while the fat layer on your chest is quite thin. I’m currently developing Human Body Refinement technology, and if you’re willing, I can help you transfer this fat for free, which would increase your bust from a C to a D or even an E.

Of course, if you want to go bigger, that would cost extra, since manipulating Alchemy to generate fat cells also consumes Energy Value."

Zhang Yanhang was having trouble finding a suitable test subject. If Zhou Muxi, a Third Tier Awakened, were willing to cooperate, he felt sure that he could make significant gains from her. That’s why he offered her a free enhancement.

"No, thanks, I’m quite content as is. After all, these fats have been with me for almost thirty years; I’ve grown somewhat attached to them."

At first, Zhou Muxi, who wasn’t particularly excited, couldn’t help but let out a silent sigh after hearing Zhang Yanhang’s words, her demeanor becoming calmer; after all, what he had in mind wasn’t the dirty thoughts that had been preoccupying her.

Regarding losing weight, Zhou Muxi might have occasionally wanted to follow the trend before the Spiritual Qi Recovery, but after it, she had no such desire. Being too skinny could affect one’s combat ability, so it was necessary to keep some fat for sure.

Moreover, she was quite satisfied with her figure—a height of 1.7 meters and a weight of 120 pounds was well within the range of normal and she was well-proportioned. There was no need for her to lose fat.

"Is that so? If you’re not interested then, never mind." Zhang Yanhang had thought that ’Natural Breast Enhancement’ could tempt female Awakeners like Zhou Muxi, but reality turned out to be completely contrary to his expectations.

"By the way, I’ve also noticed that your left kidney is slightly smaller than your right. Would you like me to strengthen it? This could be due to congenital underdevelopment, since in most people, the left kidney is larger than the right. However, your situation is the exact opposite, so it might be better to treat it."

According to Zhang Yanhang’s experience, Zhou Muxi’s condition wasn’t common, but it wasn’t rare either. However, it was one of those issues that regular hospitals couldn’t handle.

"What will happen if I don’t treat it?"

Zhou Muxi hadn’t expected that a mere scan would diagnose her with a condition. Definitely, it was Zhang Yanhang’s expertise gleaned from years of scanning others.

"No serious consequences, considering you’ve grown this large already and are probably used to it. It’s just that kidney functions might be slightly weaker than others. Certainly, it won’t cause renal failure or anything like that."

Zhang Yanhang believed that even a partial loss of kidney function in an Awakened’s physique would still be far stronger than that of an ordinary person, so it indeed was an optional treatment.

"I see, then let’s not bother with treatment. Human Body Refinement doesn’t sound too good, and it seems rather troublesome anyway."

Zhou Muxi had initially thought her condition was serious, but it turned out to be just a minor issue.

"That’s fine; it’s not a big issue, anyway."

Unable to secure Zhou Muxi as a test subject, Zhang Yanhang felt slightly disappointed, but there was nothing he could do as he couldn’t exactly force her to participate.

Although he had the power to do so, attacking a member of the relevant department was a serious crime. If Zhang Yanhang didn’t want to be caught and sent to pioneer the Ashen World, it would be best not to do so.

"May I ask, to what degree can your scanning precision reach?"

Although she had calmed down and had discovered her kidney development issue due to his scan, Zhou Muxi, as someone who had been scanned, still felt somewhat concerned.

"Precision? Well, although it can’t yet detect positrons and electrons, it can sense ordinary microbes, like viruses or bacteria. Of course, that includes human cellular tissues."

Zhang Yanhang was quite satisfied with his scanning precision; after all, sensing electrons and atoms didn’t really make much difference.

"To be able to see cells—that’s not just a scan; that’s a microscope!"

After venting out her strong urge to retort, Zhou Muxi felt even calmer. Since he could directly see cells, maybe the human body wasn’t such a big deal to him.

"I don’t usually need cell-level precision for my ability; it’s mainly used to scan for Monster locations to improve the efficiency of hunting."

Zhang Yanhang wanted to enhance the strength of his Perception more than precision. Only with increased Perception strength could he ensure that his sensing abilities would not be greatly restricted in closed terrains like Crimson Iron Ore Veins and, correspondingly, he could significantly expand the scanning range.

"So, it’s an ability for finding Monsters. It would be nice if I could have such a Type of ability as well..."

Zhou Muxi went back to shelling sunflower seeds. She was close to finishing them all. In the brief conversation that followed, she finished the last few seeds, stuffed them into her mouth, and started rapidly absorbing the Yang Qi inside.

Watching Zhou Muxi stop speaking and concentrating on absorbing Yang Qi instead, Zhang Yanhang did not continue to talk to her but directly ate the two Lychee-shaped Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in his hand. Thanks to his familiarity with the entire process, he immediately began to feel the Warm current in his body after eating them.

Well, adding these two Lychees to the previous one, these three Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures together have provided Zhang Yanhang with about 5% increase in his Stamina limit.

Together with the previous 5% Stamina limit increase from eating Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass, Zhang Yanhang had managed to increase his Stamina limit by about 10% in just half a day in the Main World.

If originally his Death Wave Skill could only be used about fifty times at its maximum range, now he could almost use it around sixty times, which was quite good.

Although he hadn’t been able to find out whether Zhou Muxi had sensed him that early morning, it no longer mattered. From her reaction, Zhang Yanhang could almost confirm that she indeed had sensed him, but for some reason, she just didn’t want to acknowledge him.
