Embers Ad Infinitum

t, Conley, didn’t say that he had been coerced.
Although there was nothing hard jabbing at his waist, he felt like a gun was aimed at him.

The elder with the blond beard frowned.
“Mechanical arms need reservations.
There’s definitely nothing available if you come all of a sudden.”

Shang Jianyao immediately said, “We’ve prepared one ourselves.”

The elder fell silent for a while, appearing rather hesitant.
“What model is it? I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it.
Small workshops like ours only know how to transplant a few models.”

“T1,” Shang Jianyao replied frankly.

“T1?” The elder’s eyes lit up.
It was obvious that he was very interested in such a mechanical arm model.

He deliberated for a moment and asked, “Who wants the transplant?”

“An injured person,” Bai Chen replied simply.

The old man wasn’t surprised by this answer because the person leading the way was the unlicensed clinic doctor’s assistant, Conley.

He thought for a few seconds.
“The patient can be sent over after the surgery.
Our equipment isn’t easy to move.”

“Alright.” Shang Jianyao smiled.
“Look, we have a mechanical arm, and you do mechanical arm transplants.
We were introduced by the doctor, and you and the doctor are acquaintances.
Therefore…”

The elder stood up, smiled, and stretched out his right hand.
“Don’t worry.
Anyone who makes the right payment is a friend.”

Conley was stunned.

The conversation from before confused him.
He didn’t understand what it meant.

Shang Jianyao then turned to him and smiled.

After leaving the underground workshop and returning to the clinic, Bai Chen suddenly sighed with emotion.
“Little Red’s luck is pretty good.”

The first unlicensed clinic doctor they found could carry out such a major surgery.
The first underground workshop they were introduced to was also interested in the T1 mechanical arm and was willing to take on the job, reducing the risk of their ‘making friends’ being seen through.

“It seems like all his usual luck was accumulated for today,” Shang Jianyao said very sincerely.

…

In the area behind the unlicensed clinic, Jiang Baimian retreated to stand between Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen after Conley took over.
She simply asked about the matter and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Not bad.”

She then asked, “How much Oray does the other party want?”

Bai Chen was stunned for a moment.
“We didn’t ask.”

Don’t you know how much Oray the team still has?

She thought that her team leader was prepared to ‘pay the bill’ with a gun.

It would indeed be a little troublesome for the underground workshop.
They definitely had a considerable faction backing them, but didn’t they already make friends? They could write an IOU first and get the company’s intelligence network to raise money to pay the bill.

This should be considered a work injury that could be reimbursed, right?

As an employee who had joined Pangu Biology for more than a year, Bai Chen had already mastered the terms ‘work injury’ and ‘reimbursement.’

Jiang Baimian took a deep breath.
“It shouldn’t be cheap…”

“Yes, yes.” Shang Jianyao strongly agreed.

The doctor from the unlicensed clinic—who was carrying out the surgery—quickly said, “I won’t charge you any surgery fees, but you have to pay for the equipment, drugs, and blood used.
200 Oray, nothing lower.
The transplant over there will cost about 500 to 600 Oray.
If you don’t have enough money, you can use these first-aid needles as payment.”

He had previously tried his best to chat with Jiang Baimian.
This was not only because chatting with a beautiful woman was pleasant in both body and mind for a man and helped him maintain his condition, but he had also taken this opportunity to figure out Jiang Baimian’s personality and attitude so that he could adapt to any situation.

Although Jiang Baimian’s mouth was sealed and didn’t reveal any information, the doctor had already discovered that their group didn’t seem like bandits who would wantonly kill.
Therefore, he dared to ask for payment.

Who wasn’t smart if they could survive and do business on Antanna Street all this while? Of course, this was excluding those with absolute strength.

“The total cost is about 800 Oray…” Jiang Baimian felt a little troubled.

After a period of expenditures without any revenue, they didn’t have much money left.

…

Red Wolf Zone, Senate.

The remaining Elders had yet to obtain permission to leave.

Superintendent Alexander saw his daughter, Galoran, walk back and asked in a deep voice, “How’s Master Zennaga?”

“Not too good.” Galoran shook her head.

Alexander was just about to arrange for the best doctor to treat him when he heard a Reformist Elder’s phone ring.

After the Elder picked up the call, he heard the other party report, “They’ve found Asus.”

Gaius had gone elsewhere to deal with the important aftermath.
The Senate was handled by this Elder.

“Where is he?” the Elder asked anxiously.

“In an apartment near the bridge with Christina from the Hunter’s Guild,” the other party introduced in detail.
“They’re all dead—shot dead by the city defense forces.”

“City defense forces?” The Reformist Elder was surprised.
“Which elite team did it?”

Asus and Christina were no weaklings.
