Chapter 171: Chapter 142 Uncle’s Good Friend’s Letter (Additional 12 for the ’Splendor of the Night’ Alliance Leader)

Shi San seemed to sense something and lazily opened her innocent Kaslan eyes.

It happened in the blink of an eye!

By the time she realized what was happening, the needle in Brian’s hand had already pierced into Shi San’s little butt!

"Woof~ (?)"

"Don’t be scared, it doesn’t hurt, I’ll be quick."

Brian held Shi San down and slowly injected the liquid from the syringe into her body.

He had tried it before.

In small amounts, this stuff had no side effects.

In case there was a problem, he also had a dose of treatment reagent on hand to ensure Shi San’s canine life.

After injecting about 1ml of the reagent,

Brian looked nervously at Shi San, "How do you feel?"

"Woof woof~ (Itchy, numb, sleepy~)"

Shi San opened her big dog mouth, couldn’t help but yawn, and put her head back on her little paws, snoring away.

Seeing this, Brian breathed a sigh of relief.

He rechecked Shi San’s vital signs, making sure they were stable, before injecting the rest of the reagent.

Afterwards,

Brian attached a portable home heart rate monitor to Shi San’s body, sat down next to her, and pulled out a deck of cards to idly practice his card memorization skills.

After breaking one limit,

His vitality became incredibly robust.

Ordinary cuts, if not deliberately controlled, would heal in just a few hours, three to four times stronger than an average person.

It was the same with sleep.

Until the early hours of the next day, around three or four o’clock in the morning, Brian didn’t feel the slightest bit of drowsiness and was still energetic and full of life.

At around five in the morning,

Shi San finally groggily opened her eyes.

She stretched, shook off the monitor, and scampered into the bathroom.

After a while, having flushed the toilet,

Shi San returned to the living room and said to Brian, "Woof woof woof~ (Big dog, hungry~)"

Brian’s hand trembled and a regular playing card flew out seven or eight meters, sticking into a dartboard completely covered with cards.

After clearing the cards from his hand,

Brian finally picked up Shi San, gave her a thorough check inside and out.

Well,

Apart from noticing that Shi San’s eyes looked brighter, he didn’t find any other changes.

"Shi San, other than being hungry, do you feel anything else?"

Shi San shook her head, "Woof~ (Hungry~)"

"Could it be that this kind of reagent requires energy and time to take effect?"

Brian put down Shi San and began to cook.

...

After devouring five pounds of high-protein beef, more than a pound of vegetable salad, and half a pound of carbohydrates, reaching seven tenths full, Brian put down his utensils, looking over to Shi San next to him.

It was today that he noticed Shi San’s peculiar way of eating.

Normal dogs tend to tear at their food, finding it hard to chew repeatedly like humans.

Shi San was different.

With chewy beef, she didn’t need a knife and fork; she would bite and create a notch, then chew twice following Brian’s example before swallowing it.

A kilogram of steak could disappear into her little mouth in just a few seconds.

Previously, Shi San’s appetite was about half a steak.

Now, she had eaten a full two-pound block and was still eating, her tiny stomach swollen like a little water pouch, yet she continued without stopping.

"Shi San, are you sure you can still eat?"

Brian couldn’t help but ask.

Shi San stopped eating and nodded, "Woof~ (Hungry~)"

"Stop eating!"

Brian took away the plate and directly injected the remaining treatment reagent into Shi San’s body.

If she kept eating, Shi San’s stomach would burst!

He felt that Shi San was lacking energy, which was why she kept feeling hungry.

Simply eating to convert and replenish energy was too inefficient.

As the treatment reagent entered her body, Shi San made a contented hum, like someone who had been hungry for days and suddenly got their fill.

Moments later,

Shi San’s increasingly bright eyes filled with surprise, "Woof woof woof~ (Big dog, not hungry anymore, a bit full~)"

After saying that,

She waddled on her short legs with her swollen belly towards the trash bin.

Watching her figure, Brian stroked his chin.

It was confirmed!

The reagent the female veterinarian had injected into Shi San was a modified Beastification Reagent!

To be precise, it was a more complete and safer variant of the Beastification Reagent.

Once it acted on the body, it contained special substances that could alter the DNA structure of a biological entity and coincidentally treat and repair the body.

This could effectively solve the problem of gene collapse after injection.

In a way, this was akin to a special treatment reagent, but there could be side effects, such as developing special Beastified abilities or traits.

Considering Laura’s identity—a special operations expendable—

It all made sense.

Good stuff, the FBI wouldn’t really give these specially cultivated expendables the real deal.

But for Laura, this was definitely a precious item; otherwise, a small team of over twenty people wouldn’t only have a few reagent syringes.

"For a man’s love, a life-saving thing, said to be for a dog, is given to a dog..."

Brian: ...

He suddenly understood why the female vet Laura had been squeezing him dry with animal medicine.

Dammit!

Luckily, she suddenly left on a mission.

Otherwise, Brian suspected he’d have been exposed long ago.

Given Laura’s thirsty demeanor, he wouldn’t be able to refuse; once he used his Gift Energy to recover, he’d reveal his uniqueness, and without it, he’d be drained dry...
