Chapter 225: Chapter 101: The Universal Transplanter

"Ah?"

Gao Xin dug out his own heart, leaving Salah dumbfounded.

"What are you doing?"

Pale-faced and kneeling on the ground, Gao Xin used active fat to sustain both his and Su Lei’s vitality while implanting his own heart into Su Lei’s chest.

He extended various tiny flesh tendrils from his fingertips to help connect Su Lei’s blood vessels, performing the transplant surgery.

In inoperable areas, he used active fat to accelerate regeneration and healing.

This was the same technique that the Viper and Rousi had used before; it was actually a gene module called "Neural Tentacles."

It was merely an N-category module, glimpsed once before, and so Gao Xin had also grasped it over these past few days.

It could increase the speed of neural responses and allow for heightened sensitivity throughout the body, even to the point of control.

It was as if a dense network of nerves had been constructed within all the muscles.

In this way, every piece of flesh could be precisely controlled, just like the fingers.

The only downside was that the heightened sensitivity meant the pain was too intense.

But for Gao Xin, this was not an issue at all.

"Heart transplant, if I don’t give him a good heart now, he’s surely going to die," said Gao Xin.

Salah exclaimed in surprise, "If you give him your heart, what about yourself?"

"Me? Aren’t there hearts for sale on the black market?" Gao Xin retorted.

Salah said, "Do you really think we engage in organ trafficking? At most, the black market only has N-category hearts, but you are an R-category."

He had seen Gao Xin using Exoskeleton Armor, so he knew that at the very least, Gao Xin was an R.

Gao Xin calmly said, "No worries, I have Blood and Flesh Integration."

Salah was baffled, "But that can only provide a temporary adaptation. In the end, you’ll also need to secure an R-category heart to make up for the loss, otherwise you’ll always be gravely injured."

"The heart is the strongest muscle. If there’s an issue with it, your strength will continue to be seriously affected."

Gao Xin smiled, "Then I’ll just go to the Silver Tower for repairs."

Salah tilted his head, "Huh? You really want to give your heart to him?"

"He’s just an N, he won’t be able to adapt to your heart. Hurry back to the black market, get him an N-category heart, and then take yours back."

Gao Xin smiled without speaking, his face pale as he completed the surgery for Su Lei.

With the aid of active fat, Su Lei had already escaped mortal danger, his heart beating powerfully.

"You should be able to stand up now, Su Lei..." Gao Xin stood there bloodless, withered, almost a living corpse.

Su Lei shakily rose to his feet as others watched Gao Xin in utter shock.

They did not know what turn of events was occurring. In order not to let Su Lei die, he transplanted his own heart to him? You organ traders, are you all so savage?

"You’re looking for death!" Su Lei was still naive and threw a punch.

He felt his heart pumping extremely powerfully, sending blood to all his limbs, and suddenly felt a burst of invigorating strength flooding him, making him feel invincible.

So much for being unable to adapt; there was no such issue, he even felt stronger.

"Bang!"

Gao Xin raised his hand to block, his body flying backward, collapsing like a rag doll.

"Twenty-fold now... you’ve improved quickly... Su Lei..."

This time, Gao Xin used his own voice, his face subtly changing.

Su Lei leaped forward intending to land another blow, but he stopped upon hearing that voice.

Looking at Gao Xin’s face again, and although it appeared much more robust, upon closer inspection, one could still tell it was Gao Xin.

"Xin... Xin Hardworking Brother?" Su Lei was stunned.

Gao Xin patted off the dust and stood up, removing a water canteen from his waist to drink in great gulps again.

"Who else could buy all five of you in one go?"

"Did you really think it was Lin Fu looking to sell you to your deaths?"

His words left everyone in shock, then they began to understand many things.

Su Lei’s face was flooded with tears, "Bro, you’re not dead?"

Gao Xin smiled, "I almost saw the Grand Spirit."

"However, I did say I would save you all. Once spoken, it has to be done, so I fought my way back to the living."

When he mentioned something about the Grand Spirit, everyone started crying.

It was Gao Xin, indeed Gao Xin.

The extreme ups and downs in life were truly exhilarating.

Moments ago, they had despaired at the hands of an enemy they loathed to the bone, and then suddenly their own boss, Gao Xin, appeared. How could they not be overwhelmed with emotion?

Meimei trembled with excitement, "You... you weren’t gene collapsed... thrown into the mass graves... Lin Fu said you were already dead."

Gao Xin replied lightly, "We are all just ordinary people. In this world, there are so many things that no matter how hard you fight, in the end, you still fail. What can you do when someone’s single thought or word can destroy all your efforts?"

"The ordinary me has been killed by reality."

"But now, I am Tai Sui Gao Xin!"

"Brother!" Su Lei lunged forward and hugged Gao Xin.

Meimei and the others lay on the ground, also crying in excitement.

From a situation that seemed certain death, he returned once more, becoming incredibly powerful, and reunited with everyone.

A miracle worker indeed, although they had seen it many times before, this time, it was truly astonishing.

Salah smiled, "You’ve played quite a hand, training two Sub-Wolves in one breath, but losing a heart, is it really worth it?"

"Your own heart is the best heart," Gao Xin shrugged. "Doesn’t matter, I’ll just grow another."

"Please help me Salah, take these few friends to the black market for treatment," Gao Xin said.

"I’ll pay you with mutant beast meat."

Salah pressed a gem button on his belt, "A little money, consider it a reunion gift for you brothers."

"I’ll call for help right away."

They were in the slums, close to the territory of the Black Blood Gang.

Soon, a group of Black Blood Gang members arrived at the scene.

After Salah gave some instructions, they helped Meimei and the others up and took them to the black market.

After a bout of turmoil, at a black clinic in the black market, everyone’s injuries were treated.

Aside from the final blow that shattered Su Lei’s heart, Gao Xin had been measured with his actions, and with the addition of his active fats and his personal treatment, it wasn’t long before there were no serious concerns left; recovery was just a matter of time.

Su Lei spoke with concern, "Big brother, you should take your heart back!"

Gao Xin shook his head, "You keep it, it’s good for you..."

He actually didn’t know what the benefits were, but he knew that he was not any R-class.

The common sense that N-class can’t adapt to R-class hearts didn’t apply to him.

Checking the injuries and seeing Su Lei adapting well, Gao Xin was even more convinced that his genes were indeed a universally compatible lifeform.

As long as they were both of wolf rank, then Su Lei’s acceptance of his heart wouldn’t face any rejection, as if their genes were brothers.

He was a universal transplantor!

"This heart is yours from now on, take good care of your heart."

Su Lei nodded excitedly, "Of course! This is the heart my brother gave me!"

Seeing his reaction, Gao Xin laughed and said, "You don’t need to care too much, if it’s gone, I’ll give you another one..."

During the treatment, everyone roughly learned about what Gao Xin had been up to these past nearly ten days.

Hearing about how Gao Xin struggled at the mass grave, on the edge of death, among snakes, insects, rats, and ants for three days and nights, suddenly made everyone’s eyes turn red.

"Brother, it must have been hard on you... you actually held on for three days?" Su Lei said, shocked to tears.

Meimei bit her lip and said, "Lin Fu told us on the second day that you had died... he... he didn’t send anyone to look for you!"

Gao Xin was philosophical about it and spread his hands, "Why should they save me for no reason?"

"Besides, from their point of view, I was surely going to die."

"If it hadn’t been like that, my head would have been displayed for all to see by now, and I wouldn’t have had the chance to be thrown into the mountains."

"Let’s drop it, I’m still in a cooperative relationship with Lin Fu. In order to rescue Dongfang Yi, we’re going to create a big disturbance in Yamaguchi Village."

"This brother Salah will also be acting with us from now on."

Hearing him mention Salah was with Lin Fu, everyone stopped questioning further.

Salah laughed and said, "So you had such an experience? Who did you encounter in the end that gave you the gene protector?"

He actually knew about Gao Xin’s experience because Tong Wuxin had told him afterwards.

Even Tong Wuxin hypothesized that it was someone from Tangren City who inadvertently saved Gao Xin, so now he took the chance to ask.

What else could Gao Xin say?

Since he was being asked who he had encountered, he vaguely replied, "At death’s door, I met two people, one named Gao Jiaoji, one named Yao Junyan."

He was telling the truth, but how could Salah know about near-death experiences?

He couldn’t help but ponder, who were these experts from the island?

He had never heard of these names, but with the island being full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, countless strong individuals, it wasn’t possible to know everyone.

Two Han strongmen saving Gao Xin matched the speculation about Tangren City.

However, one of them actually had the surname Gao, which made Salah’s heart skip a beat.

To his knowledge, the Tangren City Lord had the surname Gao.

But that belonged to the previous generation of city lords!

Tangren City underwent a major political upheaval seven years ago, when the first-generation city lord, Gao Long, was killed by his own subordinate, Sword Saint Lv Zhao.

The upheaval was severe and had far-reaching impacts, practically reshuffling the entire internal hierarchy of Tangren City and resulting in the death of many powerful individuals.

From then on, the city no longer carried the Gao surname, but changed to Lv instead.

All the children, including relatives and friends of the first-generation city lord, were executed, leaving, logically, no strong individuals with the Gao surname.

This left Salah quite perplexed, and he couldn’t help but ask directly, "These two people, which force do they belong to?"

Gao Xin impatiently said, "No force."

Salah laughed, seeing that Gao Xin wouldn’t say, he didn’t press further.

How could any ordinary person afford to use a gene protector valued at ten thousand points to save a stranger?

Such a move surely indicated a powerful force.

But it was impossible for there to be any strong people with the surname Gao in Tangren City, could it be a survivor who slipped through the net during the ’Change of Tangren City’?

That would be far-fetched, and even if so, Gao Xin wouldn’t just miss out on help from Tangren City, but conversely, would be pursued and killed.

Being hunted by Tangren City would be much more serious than provoking Yakutza.

Even though due to the past political turmoil, Tangren City had gradually declined from the first major force of the nine cities to a mid-tier level.

They were still an immense entity far above this group of small fries.

"Is it that you don’t know, or you just won’t say..."

"Tai Sui, my younger brother, it’s best you figure out the identity of the person who saved you. Recently, a Quasi-Elephant King from Tangren City has arrived in Yamaguchi Village!"

Salah pointed out, wanting to see Gao Xin’s reaction.

Gao Xin’s heart stirred, aware that these people all believed that he had a powerful backer.

After all, his return from the mass grave was inexplicable; from the perspective of Lin Fu, Tong Wuxin, and others, the only possibility was that he was saved by some powerful force.

Now that Salah had brought up Tangren City, Gao Xin inwardly wondered if they suspected he was related to Tangren City?

It was a powerful force, indeed, but with many complications, so he didn’t dare to falsely claim any ties.

Without a change in expression, as if he hadn’t heard, he focused on a different topic, "If there’s a set date for Lin Fu’s matter, let me know in advance, I have some things to do before I help him."

Seeing his response, Salah had no choice.

However, hearing Gao Xin needed prior knowledge of the schedule to make arrangements,

Salah nodded and said straightforwardly, "I won’t hide it from you, the date has already been set, it’s in eight days’ time."

"That day is when the new Oiran is selected, the streets will be bustling, with the Oiran parade, and the Yakutza’s experts all gathering on the commercial street—it’s our best chance to make a move."

"Whatever you need to do, whomever you need to inform, do it before then."

Gao Xin nodded.

At that moment, Yamal came over with a box, "Brother Salah, the heart has arrived."

Inside the box soaked an N-class heart, Gao Xin took it, "I can handle it myself."

"I’ve been injured and need to rest, so I’ll be going back first."

Salah laughed, "You brothers have reunited, there must be a lot to talk about, please go ahead."

Gao Xin, pale-faced, led Su Lei and the others away, managing to walk out of the black market without a heart.

Upon his departure, Salah immediately went to find Tong Wuxin.

Eager to inquire about the people behind Gao Xin, he was keen to ask who Gao Jiaoji and Yao Junyan really were.
