Chapter 21 Treatment Transaction, Use of the Universal Injector
Chapter 21 Treatment Transaction, Use of the Universal Injector
Upon seeing the injured Jing Ningyu, Su Jinjin's first thought was to pack her things and leave.
Be a good guy in a post-apocalyptic game?
She's not that naive.
Just as I was about to turn and leave, a weak voice suddenly rang out:
"Help...help me...I can...provide you with weapons..."
Jing Ningyu stared blankly at the person who appeared in front of him, and spoke in a weak voice.
He used up too much energy yesterday, and he has no way to heal himself.
At this moment, Jing Ningyu really wanted to slap himself. Sure enough, one shouldn't be too arrogant; reality would give him a harsh lesson.
Su Jinjin stopped abruptly in her tracks.
"Provide weapons?" She recalled the crazy explosion show last night, and the materialized F1 race car.
This guy's talent is truly a mobile arsenal...
Two voices began to clash fiercely within me:
Saving him is too dangerous! Who knows if he'll turn on us after he recovers?
But he can provide heavy firepower! With a weapon, even if it's not needed in this dungeon, it gives you a better chance of survival in other dungeons...
"Anyway, he's injured like this now, so he won't pose a threat for the time being..." Su Jinjin gritted her teeth.
In the end, they decided to save Jing Ningyu.
She grabbed his collar and struggled to drag the man, who had just finished speaking and was unconscious again, to a nearby, relatively intact building.
"I'm exhausted..." Su Jinjin gasped as she threw him to the ground and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
She looked around and, after confirming that it was temporarily safe, immediately took out the [Universal Injector] from her spatial storage.
She has hardly used this item since she acquired it.
After all, I don't get injured very often.
But now, it has finally come in handy.
"Stop the bleeding first!" Su Jinjin activated the syringe's [rapid hemostasis] function without hesitation.
The needle was precisely inserted around Jing Ningyu's wound.
The moment the medicine was injected, the wound, which had been bleeding profusely, quickly congealed, and the bleeding stopped.
"Next is pain relief." She adjusted the syringe mode, switched to [Pain Paralysis], and injected it into his thigh, arm, and other major wounds one by one.
Jing Ningyu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but he remained unconscious.
Su Jinjin stared at the deep, bone-revealing laceration on his thigh, her brows furrowed: "If this wound isn't stitched up, even if the bleeding stops, infection could kill him."
She took a deep breath, and a silver needle materialized in her right hand, with energy threads wrapping around her fingertips.
"I never thought that a tailor's skills could also be used as a doctor..." She laughed self-deprecatingly, then without hesitation, she inserted silver needles into Jing Ningyu's flesh and began to suture!
"Sizzle—" The sound of needle and thread piercing flesh was teeth-grinding, but Su Jinjin's hand remained as steady as a rock.
Silver needles, carrying energy threads, swiftly moved through the wound, like sewing fabric, gradually pulling back and stitching together the rolled-up flesh.
"[Quick Sewing]is even more versatile than I imagined. I never thought I'd develop new abilities with it." She muttered to herself, her hands moving without stopping.
Soon, the gruesome wound on Jing Ningyu's thigh was neatly stitched up. Although it still looked shocking, at least it was no longer exposed.
Finally, Su Jinjin picked up the universal syringe again, activated the [antibacterial infection] function, and injected it into the sutured wound.
"Alright, whether you survive or not depends on your own fate." She put away the silver needles and wiped the blood off her hands.
Jing Ningyu's breathing gradually stabilized, but his face was still frighteningly pale from excessive blood loss.
Su Jinjin sat cross-legged to the side, glancing at him every now and then.
She didn't collect any supplies all day, thinking that if she could get some firearms from this guy, it would be much more worthwhile than scavenging for scraps all day.
"As long as this guy doesn't die..." she muttered, suddenly noticing that Jing Ningyu's fingers twitched slightly.
At this moment, Jing Ningyu was lost in a chaotic dream.
In a daze, he saw his grandmother, who had passed away many years ago, standing in a white mist. Instead of showing a kind smile, she raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.
"What are you doing here so early! Go back to your grandma!" The old woman's scolding voice made his eardrums ache.
Jing Ningyu covered his face in grievance, but was suddenly jolted awake by his grandmother's painful blow.
He recalled the foolish things he had done.
Using his [Mechanical Doll] talent, he completed the mission of killing 100 parasitic monsters.
But his arrogant night raid on the parasitic nest nearly cost him his life.
If it weren't for the life-saving item "Spherical Defense Pod" at the last moment...
In addition, having taken the [Body Modification Pill] as a reward for killing the parasitic monster in time, he's probably already reunited with his grandmother.
"Stop pretending to be dead now that you're awake." A cold female voice suddenly entered his mind, pulling him back to reality.
Jing Ningyu struggled to open his eyes. Through his blurry vision, he saw a girl with a high ponytail looking down at him.
Sunlight streamed in from behind her, gilding her with a golden edge. Looking at the gleaming silver needles in Su Jinjin's hand, he was reminded that this was no angel.
"Now, let's talk about compensation." Su Jinjin brandished her silver needles, the tips tracing dangerous arcs in the air. "You said you'd provide weapons if I saved you?"
Jing Ningyu weakly grinned, revealing bloodied teeth: "Miss... I'm injured right now... could you have some pity on me..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Su Jinjin had no saintly intentions.
He stepped on the floor next to him, and pressed a silver needle against his throat. "See the stitches on your thigh? Since I can sew you up—" he pressed down with the needle, "I can take you apart."
Only then did Jing Ningyu belatedly realize that all the wounds on his body that had been torn apart by the parasitic monster had been neatly stitched up.
The stitches are fine and even, making it look like a work of art.
If we ignore the fact that this is sewing on a human body.
Even more miraculously, he didn't feel much pain; he was just completely unable to move his body.
Su Jinjin: This was my first time using the [pain and numbness] function of the universal injector. I didn't use enough force and probably... injected a little too much.
Jing Ningyu tried to move his fingers and found that only his fingertips could tremble slightly, while the rest of his body still felt like they weren't his own.
But now is not the time to dwell on that. He remembered the "weapon supply" deal he had promised before he fell unconscious, and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
"Miss," Jing Ningyu forced a sincere expression, "I really want to fulfill the deal, but my talent ability has been greatly depleted, and I simply can't materialize a weapon right now… Once I've recovered, I'll definitely give it to you!"
Su Jinjin stared at him expressionlessly: "..."
A promise that sounds like an empty check is just another way of saying they're going to renege on their promise!
If you can't get it, all your efforts are in vain.
"Oh, really?" Su Jinjin suddenly revealed a sweet smile, but the silver needles in her hand gleamed coldly. "Since you can't give me a weapon now, I feel that treating you and taking care of you has wasted so much of my time and medicine, so I should exchange it for something else, right?"
Jing Ningyu suddenly had a bad feeling: "Wait, wait... what do you mean?"
