Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Your Brain Matter and My Brain Matter Seem the Same

Doctor Nile said, pulling out a golden knife.

The handle of the knife was a sun disk, with a slender eye at its center.

Grasping the handle, Doctor Nile stabbed it into the lower left side of the stone jar.

The soft golden tip of the knife penetrated the stone jar without any delay, sinking in up to the handle.

Liu Zheng felt a hard object penetrating his ribcage, but it wasn’t painful, rather it was a burning sensation.

Doctor Nile pulled out the golden knife, then plunged his hand in and swiftly pulled out an organ resembling a cashew.

Liu Zheng recognized it — it was his kidney.

After pulling out the kidney, Doctor Nile suddenly stopped, and a few seconds later slapped his forehead.

"Oh no, I forgot to take out the surgical tool."

"... I think you should also get a taste of that specialty."

He said speechlessly.

Fortunately, Doctor Nile hadn’t completely lost his memory and didn’t slap his forehead with the hand holding his kidney.

"No worries, we’re not pressed for time. Just wait a moment, I’ll go fetch it now."

Doctor Nile then stuffed his kidney back in.

"I tread on a horse..."

Liu Zheng gritted his teeth, swallowing the rest of his zaunite quote.

Anyone frequently undergoing surgeries knows never to offend the primary surgeon on the table.

Once the surgery was completed, he was determined to grab the "Swear Word Collection" and verbally blast Doctor Nile until he wouldn’t recognize his own clinic.

Doctor Nile, unconcerned by Liu Zheng’s resentment, turned and walked into the adjacent room.

Fortunately, he didn’t take long to return, now holding a massive scarab in his hands.

Its limbs and head were dark green, while the shell on its back was gold-green, vivid yet not harsh, resembling jade sculpture.

Seeing it, Liu Zheng had an ominous premonition.

Although this creature was revered as a scarab in Ancient Egypt and looked majestic,

as an informed journalist, he knew it also had a more down-to-earth nickname.

That is, dung beetle.

Before he could even ask, Doctor Nile pulled out his kidney again.

The second extraction hurt a bit, not from pulling, but more like a dull pain from rough grit scraping.

Doctor Nile held the scarab in one hand and the kidney in the other, and held the former above the latter, squeezing forcefully.

The scarab let out a chorus of pained cries, excreting a thick, dense stream of dung as though it came from an icing bag.

Doctor Nile shook his palm, spreading the scarab’s dung evenly over Liu Zheng’s kidney, and after coating it thoroughly, he stuffed it back in.

Then he pulled out the golden knife and stabbed it into the other side of the stone jar, extracted another kidney, squeezed dung, smeared it, and stuffed it back in.

After repeating the procedure several times, the dung became thinner and barely held its shape, while the scarab looked almost lifeless.

"No worries, just need to nourish it a bit."

Doctor Nile said.

"If you dare tell it to eat your dung and then excrete it, I’ll smash your clinic."

Liu Zheng said, his mouth twitching.

"That’s absurd. My dung is for curing poisoning and poor appetite, it doesn’t suit your condition."

Doctor Nile shook his head.

"...Do you also treat Niu Ma like this when they are ill?"

He asked.

"Of course, and I give them the highest quality, I wouldn’t dare use it for anyone else."

Doctor Nile said.

"... then it’s fine."

Thinking that Niu Ma also had to eat dung, probably old dung at that, Liu Zheng felt much more balanced.

Doctor Nile then threw the scarab directly into a jar of honey beer.

The scarab instantly revived, issuing joyful cries, rolling around in the beer.

As the honey beer rapidly decreased before the naked eye, lowering by half, Doctor Nile finally scooped it out.

After replenishing its nutrients, the scarab’s body regained its luster, and its abdomen looked as plump as if it were pregnant.

"Hmm, this should be enough."

Doctor Nile nodded, continuing to smear dung on Liu Zheng’s organs.

Midway, the scarab defecated again, and Doctor Nile replenished its nutrients, perfectly using up a whole jar of honey beer.

Kidneys, liver, heart and lungs, stomach, pancreas...

All the organs were covered in the scarab’s dung, and what were once organs of different colors all turned the same yellow-brown.

"Why do I feel like you’re turning me into a mummy?"

Liu Zheng asked weakly.

"The process is similar. If I hooked out your brain and smeared it once, washed all your organs with cedar oil, and performed a ceremony, you would turn into a half-mummy. Do you need that?"

Doctor Nile asked.

"Why only a half-mummy?"

"Because you’re not a descendant of Ra, so you can’t become a true mummy."

Doctor Nile said.

"What’s the difference between a half-mummy and a real mummy?"

"First, a half-mummy’s body lacks the ability to cure various diseases."

"Second, a half-mummy’s intelligence declines much faster."

"Lastly, the half-mummy must obey the control of the priest who performs the ritual for him,"

Doctor Nile explained.

"Man, it’s all flaws. Only a fool would want to be a half-mummy."

Liu Zheng scoffed.

"Still, there are those who are willing. Despite everything, a half-mummy is still of the longevity species; even if it degrades into a puppet without self-awareness, that won’t happen until a hundred years later."

"Well, that’s true, but I don’t need it,"

His only wish was to live a long, healthy life, and regardless of how the system planned to fulfill it, it was surely better than such a defective product.

"Alright, then let’s proceed with the final part of the process."

Doctor Nile picked up the golden knife and inserted it into his own head at the ear, then scooped out a smear of brain matter.

Atop the gray-white brain matter were black flames burning.

This was not the intense heat of a desert sun, but the chilling flames of Hell.

Doctor Nile fixated on the black fire for a long moment before plunging the golden knife into the woman’s skull.

The gray-white brain matter quickly burned up, with the flames merging seamlessly into Liu Zheng’s brain, making no distinction between self and other.

"Player has acquired the ’Angry Fire Burning Body’ status, lasting for one instance,"

"Angry Fire Burning Body: Player’s strength increases when angry, even though physical constitution drops. The magnitude of strength increase correlates positively with the level of anger; the drop in constitution correlates positively with the magnitude of strength increase."

The systemic upgrade voice immediately followed.

The effect was slightly different from what Doctor Nile had mentioned, probably due to modifications to fit system rules, but overall it was similar.

With this buff, his strength would improve significantly.

Liu Zheng expressed great satisfaction with this.

"Alright, I’m off,"

he said.

"Take care now,"

Doctor Nile waved his hand sluggishly.

He had already had little brain matter, and though only a little was harvested, it was not a pleasant experience.

"By the way, do you have any more of that honey beer?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes. Do you like to drink?"

"No,"

he shook his head.

"Then what do you want it for? It has no other use for you guys,"

Doctor Nile said.

"Just mind your own business, are you selling or not?"

"I’ll sell you one cup at most,"

Doctor Nile said.

"Two cups, or I’ll find a woman to seduce Sasha. Don’t blame me for not warning you; she’s incredibly charming, highly intelligent, and bi-curious,"

"Isn’t that a bit too ruthless?"

Doctor Nile was dumbfounded.

"I’m just good at making use of waste."

"Fine, two cups then. Five hundred per cup,"

Doctor Nile said through gritted teeth.

"Deal,"

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Just a minute then,"

Doctor Nile staggered into the back room and came out with two wooden cups filled with golden liquid.

"Here,"

having paid promptly, he then took the cups.

Without an item description, it meant he couldn’t store them in the system space.

Liu Zheng, holding the two cups, walked into the clinic.

The Sphinx glanced at him, then continued examining the patterns on the ground.

Liu Zheng said nothing, placed a cup of honey beer in front of it, and then got up to leave.

"Tsk,"

Watching him walk away, the Sphinx smirked.

The aroma of the beer slowly rose, making its way into its nostrils.

The Sphinx’s nose twitched, eyeing the beer cup as it struggled internally.

"I’ll just lick it once to see if this human is trying to poison me,"

it suddenly muttered to itself.

Then it stuck out its tongue and licked the beer just like a cat drinking water.

"Hmm?"

The Sphinx’s eyes widened.

Then it took two, three, four more licks...

The cup was quickly licked clean.

"Burp~"

The Sphinx belched, a contended expression on its face.
