It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 678 [096] Brain Transplant?
Acid rain and snowstorms have continued for many days, with no end in sight.

This further worsened the environment outside the city.

In addition to leading the Night Dragon Society to integrate resources and fight against the catastrophe, Qin Jiandan also has to deal with a constant stream of assassins.

Facing Qin Jiandan, who possesses numerous abilities such as "Steel Armor Breathing Technique" and "Time Rewriting," a single assassin would be no match for him.

So the enemy switched to multiple forms.

[Mirror Dancer × Ice Sculptor]

The former can reflect countless versions of itself in a mirror, switching its real position at any time. The latter can freeze matter with a touch, instantly sculpting water vapor into sharp ice weapons.

The two worked together, one creating an ice mirror while the other moved quickly between the mirrors, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

At that time, Qin Jiandan was leading a group to inspect the shantytown. Shouts of fighting for clean drinking water and muffled thuds of metal pipes hitting flesh could be heard from the street. Several dark figures were futilely drawing out fluorescent green stagnant water with a makeshift filter.

Logically speaking, the combination of the mirror dancer and the ice sculptor is not bad, but they are too obsessed with their own art.

"Are you guys fighting or dancing ballet? If you like dancing, go to the grand theater!"

Sadly, they would never have the chance to perform at the Grand Theater. Qin Jiandan broke the Mirror Dancer's red-bladed crystal sword, and in doing so, also broke his lumbar spine. The Ice Sculptor was burned to ashes by the Undying Spirit Fire.

[Steel Gardener × Storm Caller]

This duo excels at area-of-effect attacks.

Steel gardeners can make plants grow at supernatural speeds and transform them into weapons or defensive structures as hard as steel.

During the snowstorm, the rampant growth of "carnivorous thorns" became his best helper.

The thorny vines instantly transformed into towering trees, then into iron plates and spikes, guided by the tornadoes created by the "Storm Caller," indiscriminately attacking Qin Jiandan and the people of Dongcheng.

Qin Jiandan used "Clothes-Exploding Whirlwind" to partially neutralize the opponent's tornado, and then used Xuanbing True Qi to create an ice wall in front of him to defend against the iron plates and spikes.

The steel gardener was outmaneuvered by Sharp Frost and his head was cleanly and decisively severed.

Rui Shuang had finally managed to get her parents to take her out for dessert, but instead she encountered this troublesome guy, so naturally she was furious.

The Stormcaller tried to escape in a tornado, but failed to escape Mu Yue's long-range sniping.

The sheriff would show no mercy to a man who acts like a terrorist.

Whether these assassins were after the 10 billion bounty offered by the police chief, sent by Ding Julou, or directly from the company—Qin Jiandan had no way of knowing, nor did he bother to ask.

Anyway, kill them one by one, kill two by two. If they're lucky enough not to be killed, hand them over to Kazama to make whole wet parts, which will increase the computing power of the Night Dragon.

Despite the harsh environment and demanding conditions, the Night Dragon Society is accelerating the expansion of the Eco Tower and expanding outwards into the Endless Desert to build a hexagonal defense cluster and underground shelters.

The hardships involved are self-evident. The lack of manpower and resources forced them to seek solutions from various sources.

This also included secretly borrowing money from Ding Jingshuang in exchange for Hu Chi sleeping with her.

Tiger Fool was quite dissatisfied with being forced into being a gigolo (though he might also be secretly pleased). Qin Jiandan criticized him, saying, "What's a small sacrifice for the greater good? Ding Jingshuang is at least a great beauty; I've even slept with fish!"

Ding Jingshuang used Ding Yuyunxian's corpse to allow her son, Ding Chun, to be resurrected. If Ding Julou, the head of the Ding family, finds out about this, Ding Jingshuang will be in deep trouble.

Therefore, it is understandable that Ding Jingshuang would prepare an escape route in advance and hope to receive protection from the Night Dragon Society.

Qin Jiandan had revealed to the core personnel at headquarters that Ding Yuyunxian's body actually housed Ding Chun's personality, in order to prevent them from making a misjudgment at a crucial moment.

Vale breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought Ding Yuyun was so lucky, and I'd find a chance to get revenge on her a second time! Turns out she's become a sissy now?"

Kazama analyzed with a poker face: "The young master tricked Ding Jingshuang into revealing this secret during the conversation, which is a major benefit for the Night Dragon Society. Ding Julou is a serious doting father to his daughter. As long as Ding Yuyunxian's identity is not revealed, Ding Jingshuang can use this to her advantage and make extensive use of the Ding family's resources to help us."

As Mu Yue participated in the discussion, her cat ears drooped slightly, and her cat tail swayed restlessly behind her. She bit her nails slightly.

"Dr. Chen used molecular suturing to sew together the half of Ding Chun's brain that governs personality and the other half of Ding Yuyunxian's brain that governs knowledge. The new personality created in this way may not be completely free from Ding Yuyunxian's influence. Jian Dan, did you really agree to cooperate with Ding Jingshuang in exchange for protecting Ding Yuyunxian?"

Qin Jiandan replied, "What I promised was to protect Ding Jingshuang's two children, namely Ding Chun and Ding Ling. Ding Yuyunxian is now merely a shell for Ding Chun."

Mu Yue frowned slightly; after transforming into a cat, she seemed to have become even more vengeful.

"This isn't an ordinary suit; it's a suit of unparalleled beauty. I haven't forgotten that Ding Yuyunxian is the enemy who killed Alena's parents. If you're tempted by her looks and don't take action after discovering that Ding Yuyunxian's soul has been resurrected, I won't forgive you!"

"Don't worry," Qin Jiandan promised. "Once I find out that there's someone else besides Ding Chun among Ding Yuyunxian's friends, I'll kill her first."

Qin Jiandan instructed everyone to keep this a secret to avoid losing Ding Jingshuang, an important ally. Hu Chi quietly asked Doctor Li if Doctor Li himself possessed the same skill, since Doctor Chen, Doctor Li's clone, was capable of performing brain molecular suturing.

Dr. Li straightened the buttons on his clothes, and his glasses reflected a white light.

"In terms of technology, I am certainly better than my clone, but he has the support of the company's equipment, while I do not. It would be difficult for me to perform brain molecular suturing at the moment, but I should be able to perform a full brain transplant in an emergency."

Dr. Li suddenly had an idea and called out to Linlin, who was passing by.

"Linlin, if you really want to heal your leg, and there's absolutely no other way, I can transplant your brain into a healthy body."

The girl with the pink bun hairstyle couldn't help but tremble, and the ends of her hair hanging down her temples swayed like a swing.

"No, don't talk about such terrible things. Apart from not being able to run or jump with force, this leg doesn't affect my life much. If my brain were transplanted into a body as ugly as Tiger Fool's, I'd cry my eyes out..."

"Linlin, I didn't do anything to you!"

Tiger Fool's face became even uglier with anger.

※※※

During this period, Qin Jiandan did not take any significant action against the company or the police chief.

On the one hand, we lack strength and should adopt a strategic defense while waiting for an opportunity.

On one hand, the "executions" of the inner city's elite by the comical ghost organization continue, so frequently that related gambling projects have appeared on the Dark Gap website, with betting on "whether the police chief will die first or Ding Julou will die first."

Most importantly, Qin Jiandan hoped that Doctor Li could research a way to cure his master's incurable disease from the "Purple Blade Crystal Energy Sword" that he had seized.

Qin Qi, the God of Slaughter, is invincible, a fact known to all. Now that Alexander, the leader of the Nean Society, is dead, as long as his master is healed, Qin Jiandan doesn't need to worry about how to defeat his enemies; he can simply win without lifting a finger.

However, a famous person who is into lolicon once said: Life is full of disappointments.

On a very ordinary afternoon, Xia kept pestering Qin Jiandan to ask if he had eaten the Valentine's Day chocolate she had given him, when a guard rushed over with an urgent report:

"Captain Tiger has urgent business with the young master. Please go to the west training ground immediately!"

Qin Jiandan was incredulous. The master she had just met this morning, that peerless old man, was now leaning against the wall, his eyes closed, and he had stopped breathing.

"How is that possible?" Qin Jiandan lost control of her emotions. "Master was perfectly fine this morning. He even ate a lot of glutinous rice balls a few days ago and was laughing and joking with Ruishuang!"

The only people present were Doctor Li, Hu Chi, Qin Jiandan, and Linlin. Apart from Doctor Li, everyone else was Qin Qi's disciple.

Tiger Fool's brows were deeply furrowed, and the many scars on his face resembled those of a hibernating snake.

Linlin sobbed softly, afraid that crying too loudly would further upset her brother.

Only Dr. Li was busy running around, and he would occasionally instruct Hu Chi and Qin Jiandan to help install various probes on Qin Qi's body.

Qin Qi usually only accepts the most necessary few probes. Now, he is being penetrated all over his body by Dr. Li without resistance, and Dr. Li has a kind of "revenge achieved" pleasure on his face.

"Stop crying, everyone. Crying won't bring the chairman back to life. He's not completely dead yet."

"Not completely dead?"

Qin Jiandan looked at the instrument screen and indeed saw an extremely weak and slow heartbeat waveform.

Tiger Fool's expression hardened: "Could it be the legendary Turtle Breathing Technique? Did Master use it to alleviate his illness?"

Dr. Li shook his head: "No, according to the instruments, it's just a normal critical condition. Because the chairman's martial arts skills are too high, his time on the verge of death is longer than others."

Qin Jiandan had long heard that strong or determined people suffer more pain before they die. Even in Earth's time, those with internal energy had to experience "dissipation of energy" before death, which was said to be extremely painful.

Linlin stepped forward; she had been standing for a while, and her legs were slightly sluggish.

"Dr. Li, you've been researching the Amethyst Elixir for so many days, can't you give it a try for your master? If you don't try it soon, it will be too late."

Qin Jiandan said sternly, "Bring the Purple Crystal Elixir from your underground laboratory immediately! I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong after Master uses it!"

Dr. Li shrugged: "Things can't be rushed. I told you to find more Amethyst Elixir, even if it's a counterfeit like last time. Didn't you search for ages and still not find any? You can always make up for it with quantity if you don't have quality. Right now, you don't have enough quality or quantity. Let alone reviving the chairman, you'd be lucky to even turn him into a zombie."

Linlin wiped away her tears, her pupils blinking rapidly, indicating that she was thinking intensely.

"I have an idea..."
