Chapter 228 - 104: Oiran Candidate?

Chapter 228: Chapter 104: Oiran Candidate?

Three days had passed, and Gao Xin’s daily activities were fixed.

He would go to the hunting group for a free feast, then grab more lamb.

Upon returning, he would rigorously train the five little ones, serving as their sparring partner and tormenting them to the brink of death.

However, everyone had no complaints about this; they even trained very hard.

Everyone knew that leaving Yamaguchi Village was a matter of the near future; they needed to enhance their strength as soon as possible.

Actually, it was okay for them to leave since now they were free people, who could leave simply by walking out the main gate.

It was more troublesome for people like Han Qing, who were considered missing persons from Yamaguchi Village.

During the checkpoint passage, they would definitely be detected as slaves.

Besides, there were others like Qiao Long from the atonement group and servants like Luo Yan and Xing Shiping, for whom it would be even more troublesome to leave.

Without a doubt, they had to face a fierce battle.

Although Gao Xin was fully confident, they couldn’t rely solely on him.

At a minimum, they themselves had to not be too weak; they had to have a certain ability to protect themselves.

Otherwise, if Gao Xin managed to handle all the pursuers and then turned around to find them all dead, wouldn’t that have been in vain?

"Bang Bang Bang!"

Gao Xin had once again knocked all five people to the ground, each of them already in a near-death state.

After that, he used active fat to treat them.

Even if they lost too much blood, he would infuse his own, so that their bodies could as much as possible contain what was called the ’Gao Xin gene.’

"Brother, take a break," Su Lei said weakly.

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, "What? Tired?"

Su Lei shook his head, "No, it’s just that every time after the fight, you still have to treat us, even give us your blood, I worry about your body losing too much."

Gao Xin chuckled, "This is nothing. Now that all of you have my heart, you should know how strong my recovery is."

"On this island, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. In other aspects, I dare not claim to be very strong."

"But in terms of vitality, I am absolutely the strongest in my class, unparalleled."

He was very confident; one might say nobody understood life better than him.

Su Lei and others exchanged glances, but didn’t argue.

But then Su Lei said, "Brother’s heart is indeed powerful, but I feel our improvement is so slow, not as fast as the first time you beat us."

Gao Xin was startled, then burst out laughing, "Don’t say that in front of other Radiations."

"After three days, you’ve reached twenty-five times the strength of your body weight, not far from a true wolf."

"The others have also been steadily improving; now all are sub-wolves."

"And you still think it’s slow?"

Su Lei scratched his head, "But the first day you tormented us, I went from eight times to twenty times in just half an hour."

"Now, in three days, it’s just five times the body weight..."

"Even though we’re beaten to near death both times, the rate of improvement is in no way comparable."

Gao Xin curled his lip, "Hey, you don’t think that just being beaten to near-death is enough to break through, do you?"

"If that were so, wouldn’t everyone be at least a true wolf? With over 20,000 Radiations from the Yakuza enforcer group, how many true wolves did you see during your time there?"

Su Lei made a sound in response, "Back then I was training every day, thinking only of avenging you, and didn’t pay much attention."

Meimei added, "The Yakuza enforcer group had about four thousand true wolves, all non-Japanese Radiations, with no way to rise higher."

"The rest were sub-wolves and lesser wolves. Among them, lesser wolves were the most numerous, most having around tenfold the power level."

Gao Xin nodded, "See? Coming back from the brink of death is the ultimate path for a Radiation."

"But that’s not to say, just being beaten to near-death and then being brought back is enough."

"That’s the ability of the SR-class gene module ’Near-death Compensation,’ the only thoughtless self-torture for improvement."

"Apart from that, the key to unlocking potential lies in the spirit... and also in having a strong will to live."

"It’s like every cell in the body craves strength, prompting the micro genes to truly unlock potential."

Su Lei hummed, also remembering what Silver Hand had said, that what really makes Radiations progress is not being unafraid of death, but rather the fear of it.

Gao Xin continued, "So it must be a real life-and-death crisis. Back then, you thought I was a formidable villain, and losing to me meant the end, so you truly fought for your lives."

"But now, without a doubt, you’ve relaxed."

"It seems like your bodies are beaten to near-death, but you all know that you won’t die."

"Therefore, no matter how brutal it is physically, it’s just ordinary training, not really coming back from the brink of death... at most you’re just touring the edge of death..."

Meimei expressed sentimentally, "Then should we deceive ourselves again?"

Gao Xin smiled, "You aren’t fools, and such things need the right moment."

"Moreover, on this island, dangers lurk everywhere, and we may face real crises and desperate situations that need to be overcome at any time."

"Deceiving you once was enough; otherwise, you’ll lose respect for life-and-death crises."

"That would be far more terrifying than being numb to life!"

"Remember, never ’toy with death’."

Everyone nodded; they had all heard the story of the boy who cried wolf.

And the will to survive includes many kinds, simply fearing death is the most common.

There are also things to be done at all costs or protecting treasures held dear in one’s heart; these desires produce a stronger will to live.

So real experiences are still necessary. Life itself has many trials, learning to face life, to confront the various trials in life, should already be enough to require their full effort.

"In that case, if we can still steadily improve, is it because of Brother’s heart?" Meimei asked.

Gao Xin pointed at his chest saying, "This is a true wolf-level heart, and you have perfectly adapted to it, what does that mean?"

"It’s like part of your body is already at the true wolf level."

"That will naturally lead the rest of your cells toward the true wolf level; with continuous training, your path to that level is nearly barrier-free."

"It means just keep training, and you’ll reach it sooner or later."

"The most critical part is... it contains all my gene modules."

Everyone looked solemn; yes, it had Gao Xin’s genes, naturally including all the activated gene modules of Gao Xin.

Meimei asked, "But we haven’t been able to use it..."

Gao Xin replied with a faint smile, "Of course, most gene modules require the evolution of specific organs, and having just a heart is not enough."

"But this is like the source of a module. Haven’t you all gradually self-realized the organ overclocking these past three days? That’s because of this trick—my heart already knew how to do it, so you all made twice the progress with half the effort."

"In addition to that, I’ve activated Bloodthirsty Regeneration, Blood and Flesh Integration, Shock Sensing, Neural Tentacles, and more."

"By transplanting my heart, you’ve basically learned half of it already. The other half, you might develop at any time."

"Everything is hard at the beginning, but you have it much easier than those who have to evolve from scratch."

Su Lei slapped his head, "I was wondering why I suddenly could sense air vibrations from afar, knowing there was someone standing there even without seeing them."

"So that was Shock Sensing..."

Gao Xin smiled and said, "Oh? It looks like you’ve developed another gene module."

On this island, self-evolving a gene module is extremely difficult.

Most of the Radiation people directly go for exchanges.

But for Gao Xin, evolving these known modules is easy as long as he has the body tissues of others, and knows the effects.

And his organs are highly adaptable, theoretically, he could dissect himself, remove the gland system from his Exoskeleton Armor, and transplant it to them.

That way, they could almost immediately inherit such an advanced module as the Exoskeleton Armor.

Of course, easier said than done. The gland system of the Exoskeleton Armor is scattered throughout the body like the lymphatic system—it would nearly require taking himself apart completely.

Without extremely high surgical skills, Gao Xin simply couldn’t do it alive.

Therefore, transplanting the heart is the most cost-effective method.

The heart is the strongest muscle and one of the most vital organs of the human body.

All gene modules need the heart; it could be called the most central component.

With this, they were practically installing the engines for various modules; the foundation was already set, and it was almost certain they would develop the modules Gao Xin had when he transplanted it, and it was just a matter of time.

"Alright, from now on, keep training yourselves, I need to go find Luo Yan."

Gao Xin took a bath, changed his clothes, and went out to find Luo Yan.

However, he returned soon after.

Seeing his furrowed brows, Su Lei asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Still can’t find Technician Brother?"

Gao Xin nodded, he had been looking for Luo Yan every day for the past three days, but hadn’t seen him once!

Either Rousi was at home, or when Rousi was not home, Luo Yan wasn’t either!

"Strange, this isn’t right, why does Rousi always take Luo Yan when he goes out?"

Gao Xin was a bit nervous, feeling that something was off.

By now, he could always take people out of the village, whether it was their group of independents or Qiao Long’s side, everything was already arranged.

Even Xing Shiping, he had people inquire about, and then contacted him.

Now everything was ready, except for Luo Yan.

But now, Luo Yan was taken out every day by Rousi, and no one could find him, what could be done?

Had something else happened?

Meimei ran over and said, "It really might have been an incident... Right, didn’t they say the Oiran parade is in five days?"

"Could it be..."

She still remembered, Luo Yan’s Oiran like presence.

It used to be just a joke, occasionally calling him Oiran Brother.

But now, with Luo Yan missing and the Oiran selection day approaching, putting these two things together, everyone couldn’t help but speculate.

Gao Xin’s lips twitched, "Don’t say... really don’t say!"

Su Lei scratched his head, "Hiss, really going to become Oiran Brother?"

Liu Xu said thoughtfully, "As far as I know, the Oiran of the Yakuza has always been Miss Chizuru."

"She is the sister of the Yakuza president, the daughter of the original president’s sister... not only beautiful and talented but also of noble status."

"It can be said that the position of Oiran is unshakable, and she has been the Oiran for five consecutive years."

"The so-called Oiran selection festival is essentially just an opportunity to launch a batch of new geishas, attracting guests to promote their fame, while highlighting her in the parade."

Everyone was stunned; it turned out to be just a marketing holiday, picking a show, but not really about changing the Oiran.

The sister of the Yakuza president? Unless the boss didn’t want her anymore, who could compete for the position of Oiran?

It was just a formality, bringing out a bunch of candidates to debut a group of newcomers.

"Could it be that Luo Yan becomes an Oiran candidate? Is he debuting in five days? Impossible, right?"

"Originally, Sasaki just mentioned it offhand, and now Luo Yan has grown as fat as a pig, still Rousi’s house servant, how could he become an Oiran candidate?"

"Could it be that Rousi himself isn’t satisfied just playing, and still wants to give Luo Yan gender reassignment surgery, sending him to compete as an Oiran?"

Gao Xin shook his head, feeling that this possibility was still very small.

But for now, he took it as a clue, after all, he really couldn’t find Luo Yan.

He immediately ran to the black market to find Salah, to understand the situation regarding the Oiran candidates.

Gao Xin even brought 500 kilograms of Radiation beast meat, hoping Salah could get him the list.

Salah, however, was very generous, declined the gift, and directly pulled out a promotional roster.

"The Oiran parade day is a festival created by the Yakuza, a grand event in the Yamato domain."

"Whether it’s Yamaguchi Village, or the surrounding Lin’s Village, Yoshihara Village, all regular customers, as well as medium and large gangs, will be invited."

"Preparation has already started, a few days ago our Black Blood Gang already received the promotional roster, take it and have a look."

Gao Xin thanked him and took the roster.

There were no photos, as the candidates’ appearances were kept confidential before the parade day.

But just by looking at the names, Gao Xin felt a shudder!

He saw that the candidates’ stage names were varied, most were in English, but there was only one Chinese name.

Named... Luo Yan’er!
