Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 719 Gains and losses
Lei Ze didn't have the habit of keeping things in suspense. He followed Shanying's gaze and glanced at Yue Yi...

The little guy was staring at the float intently. Whenever the feather float moved a little, he would lift the fishing rod, and when he felt that there was no weight on that end, the little guy would put the bait into the water again.

"Your son was bitten too?"

Shanying shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just discovered that something was wrong with him a few days ago. I have sent our blood samples to the hospital and they are undergoing detailed tests."

As he spoke, Shanying remembered the origin of his wrist wound, so he reached out and rubbed Yue Yi's head, saying, "Xiao Yi, think carefully, have you ever been bitten by Barang?"

Yue Yi frowned and thought for a long time, then rolled up his sleeves and said, "Dad, when you were in the hospital bed, Baran bit your arm and your blood splashed on my face...

That day Baran licked my face a few times and then bit my arm.

My mother was crying the whole time, and I didn’t feel any pain, so I didn’t say anything…

Dad, I really don’t feel any pain, don’t blame Barang!”

Shanying looked at the four small wounds on the upper and lower sides of Yue Yi's left forearm, which were obviously left by canine teeth. He smiled bitterly and shook his head...

The wound was really small, strictly speaking it was just four light white dots, which was completely different from the laceration near the Eagle's wrist vein.

If Yue Yi hadn't said it himself, Shanying would never have thought that this was a wound.

After confirming that his son was bitten, Shanying looked at Leishe with some distress and said, "The benefits you mentioned, except that my body became stronger, I didn't feel anything else...

Now tell me the bad news, I hope we don’t have it either!”

Razer nodded slightly and said, "I have been very easily excited since then, and I have made many mistakes because of this!"

Shanying frowned and carefully sorted out his feelings over the past period of time. He shook his head and said, "I don't have this feeling..."

As he said this, Shanying looked at his son with a bit of worry when he met him again after a long separation. He was indeed a little different from before. He had become very lively, even a little aggressive.

However, in the eyes of Shanying, the old man, this is actually a virtue, because the aggressiveness shown by Yue Yi includes perseverance.

Even though he was knocked down by Luna countless times, he never lost heart. Although he was full of complaints, he did not show any emotion like annoyance towards Luna.

Shanying didn't know if this was the side effect that Razer mentioned. If so, he felt that there was really nothing wrong with it.

This physiological "aggression" will be transformed into a "champion character" as long as it is properly guided!
Most of the top athletes in Shanying's impression have this trait. They are not just aggressive, some of them even show paranoia and are very aggressive.

Seeing the reminiscence on Razer's old face, Shanying said helplessly: "Anything else?"

Razer sighed and said, "Procreation!"

"What??"

Shanying thought he had heard wrongly. He frowned and said, "What did you say? Fertility?"

Razer nodded with a heavy expression and said, “I had two daughters and two sons before the problem occurred, but in the next four years I only gave birth to a son, and then there was no movement.

I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said that my hormone levels were abnormal and my metabolism was very fast, so my life expectancy might be affected to a certain extent.

They said I should live at high altitudes or in areas with low oxygen levels, and that I would need very expensive medication to control my metabolism to avoid rapid aging.”

Shanying listened and said in amazement: "You already had two daughters and a son, and then you gave birth to another son. You call this a fertility problem?"

Razer nodded with a heavy expression and said, “Isn’t this a problem?

Don’t you feel that you have a particularly strong need in that area?
The Inuit stay at home for June to August in winter, but I only gave birth to one son in four years. Isn't this a problem?
We men, we need to have enough offspring, and I have lost that ability, isn't that a problem?

I went to the hospital for a checkup and the doctor said there was something wrong with me..."

Shanying felt that it was a bit silly to discuss sexual desire and childbirth with an old Inuit man in his sixties...

There aren't many entertainment activities near the Arctic Circle. If you're stuck at home for months, you can only relieve your loneliness through the things between men and women, right?

Shanying himself showed absolute restraint in this regard. Although there are problems in this regard, they are definitely not as serious as Razer said...

If this aspect can be performed more persistently, the frequency of mobilization in a short period of time will be higher. If this can be considered a side effect, then Shanying thinks that all men in the world should want it.

As for the issue of fertility, Shanying could not find a trace of empathy. He felt that if Razer could make his wife, who had already given birth to four children, pregnant again and give birth to a son, then he and his son should not have too many problems in the future.

Having fewer children, having better quality children and living a happy life is the message he has heard since he was a child.

This is completely contrary to the Inuit customs and the idea of having children desperately in order to increase the family labor force and earn thousands of dollars a year.

What worries Shanying is Razer's so-called metabolic problem...

Seeing Razer's strange expression, Shanying smacked his lips and said, "To be honest, I have enough children. I don't think this is a big problem...

You just said that there is something wrong with your metabolism. In what specific aspects does it manifest itself?

What are the side effects?

I haven't seen any side effects from you, especially in terms of life span. You look more energetic than many young people now." Razer frowned and looked at Shanying, saying, "How old do you think I am now?"

Shanying shrugged and said, "63? 65?"

Razer shook his head and said, “I am 67 years old, and I was like this fifteen years ago…

I joined Arctic Fox when I was 35 years old. At that time, I was the most physically fit person in the team. Whether it was physical strength, energy, weight-bearing, endurance, recovery ability, concentration, or shooting skills, I was the best in the team.

I've been seriously injured many times, but each time I was able to return to the battlefield within three months.

But when I was 50 years old, I found that when I was performing tasks in areas with lower altitudes and higher oxygen content, I would become very tired and even dizzy frequently.

We were working in Sierra Leone all that time, and in two years I went from being a middle-aged man to what I am today.

At that time, I went to the best hospital in America for examination...

They told me that there was something wrong with my body and that my fatigue and dizziness were due to oxygen poisoning.

Moreover, long-term work in such an area with high oxygen content will cause an imbalance in the metabolic system, accelerate the aging of my body, and in the worst case may induce acute organ failure."

After hearing this, Shanying looked at Leishe in horror and said, "Are you kidding?

You mean, you started aging suddenly 17 years ago, and in two years you became what you are now?

How did you maintain your physical condition afterwards?

I don’t think you are much worse than Blood Fox and the others.”

Razer shook his head with a complicated expression and said, “I spent all my savings at the time and was treated in the hospital for about half a year. Finally, I chose to go home.

I thought I couldn't hold out for long, but three years later, Odin found me a kind of witchcraft called 'Tomika Grass' from Sierra Leone..."

When Shanying heard this, he said excitedly, "Did that herb cure your problem?"

Razer's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but my body's aging has indeed stopped and has continued to this day.

I went to the hospital for a check-up and they said that my body's metabolic level had not returned to normal, but my cell vitality had been strengthened, and the so-called genetic defect they mentioned at the time had also disappeared.

But the doctor who examined me told me that my life expectancy is still not very optimistic.”

Shanying was indeed a little anxious at this moment. He frowned and asked, "Life expectancy?"

Razer shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly how they calculated it, but it seems to be related to cell activity and the number of divisions."

Razer suddenly laughed and said, "You definitely won't believe it. They predicted that I can live to 95 years old. Hahahahaha, how can they think that an Inuit can live to 95 years old?"

As he spoke, Razer stretched out his hand towards Mountain Eagle and said, "Want to give it a try?"

Shanying stretched out his hand with a heavy expression and shook hands with Razer. Feeling Razer gradually tighten his grip, he began to counterattack subconsciously...

Razer's palm was like a tightening vise, cold and extremely powerful, which surprised Shanying. Ever since he recovered from his illness, he had never encountered an opponent in terms of strength.

Compared to Shanying's surprise, Razer was also a little surprised, because he had already used up all his strength, but Shanying's expression was still relaxed, as if in order to take care of himself, the strength of his palm was only slowly increasing.

If Razer's hand is a vise, then Eagle's palm is like a hydraulic vise. It looks very easy, but in fact the force increases steadily and terrifyingly.

A few minutes later, Razer nodded in admiration and let go of his hand...

"Just looking at your appearance, I can tell that you are much stronger than I was when I was young..."

Shanying smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use? If you gain something, you will always lose something. No benefit comes without reason."

Shanying glanced at Zach and his son, and said with a wry smile, “Zach and his son have excellent physical fitness and very strong dynamic vision.

But they have serious allergy problems, which can be controlled by identifying the allergens, but this is also a defect.

According to what you said, my son and I may have bigger problems!

But at least you still have excellent hearing that can help you hunt at night. I don't have this magical ability, but I may have to suffer the same sequelae.

What the fuck is this?

Razer looked at Shanying's depressed expression, and suddenly grinned and said, "Do you still want to live to be a hundred years old?

Is the herb called Tomica hard for you to find?

Besides, your situation is not exactly the same as mine. At least I didn’t lie in a hospital bed, struggling on the brink of death for almost two months like you did.

Maybe you are different from me! "
