In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

"Hey, Master Ou, how come you have so much free time to call me today?"

Ma Er almost said what was in his heart, but he quickly stopped and changed his words.

……

Tokyo, on the top floor of Shinomiya Hospital. Ouyang Xuan had been here several times and was very familiar with it. He opened the door of the rooftop helipad and sat on the helipad to call Ma Er.

"Have you finished the drawings I gave you a few days ago?"

"Ah... well... I'm doing it."

Ma Er's voice was weak and he felt guilty. After all, as a single man, he had no chance of suffering from kidney deficiency.

"Can you do it in a week?"

Ouyang Xuan estimated the time.

It is now evening. Several hours have passed since Qianshu suddenly collapsed in the aquarium at noon. Qianshu is not dead, and his heart is not completely broken down. It is just because the battery is too low and Qianshu is too excited that his heart suddenly malfunctions. Under Ouyang Xuan's first ultra-high precision control of thunder, the artificial heart was restarted. Now Qianshu has recovered, but he has not woken up yet and is still sleeping in the ward downstairs.

Mika Kurumi and Ruixi who arrived also issued a critical illness notice to Qianshu. Due to the huge consumption caused by the previous battle, Qianshu's heart can only last for more than a week at most, and that is on the premise that she can't go even if she lies in bed like now.

Ouyang Xuan asked if he could charge Qianshu's heart himself, but the answer he got was that the efficiency was too low and there was no special charger suitable for it. Ouyang Xuan charged Qianshu for one minute, which could probably keep Qianshu's heart functioning for fifty seconds. This was not charging, but only reducing the rate of power loss. The best and only solution was to replace Qianshu with a new artificial heart.

Even if Ouyang Xuan got the heart in Yuan Tao's hand, he would not dare to let Qian Shu use it. As one of the people who have been in physical communication with Quan Xing on the mainland for many years, Ouyang Xuan has a deep understanding of this group of people. Even if he got the heart from them, no one can say what is inside, mind-controlling witchcraft, soul-taking, or time bomb.

Jisong couldn't find anyone, and Quanxing couldn't trust the heart in his hand, so he could only pin his hopes on Ma Er and his own spells and talismans.

Ouyang Xuan thought of two options: one was to let Ma Er rub his heart, and the other was to use magic to do some minor things to Qian Shu.

"A week?"

Ma Er thought he had misheard, "No, my Master Ou, haven't you seen the blueprint you gave me? Something that complex and sophisticated could be created in a week. Then I wouldn't need to learn the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements. I could create the new Eight Conqueror Skills on my own."

"Can't even the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements make it?"

"It's not that I can't make it. It's just that this thing of yours definitely can't be made with machines from the outer world. I don't even know how it's made. If I were to use the machines from my university, Harbin Institute of Technology, it would take at least twenty years to make it. Using the refining technology from the inner world, it would take at least several years by trial and error."

Blowing off a bit of dust from the blueprint, Ma Er marveled at the astonishing data and design. "I have to say, the talents of the outer world are truly amazing. They can create something that's almost on par with what the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements can produce."

Even if he was not a medical student but an engineering student, just by looking at the design and efficacy, Ma Er could tell that if this thing could be mass-produced, it would definitely be an industrial revolution-level advancement for human medicine, especially cardiology. Unfortunately, this thing was too advanced.

"So, it's not that you can't do it, but that you don't have the time?"

"more or less."

Ma Er estimated the time, "If I use the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, I should be able to do it in about a month."

The most advanced machine in the world would take about twenty years to make, while an ordinary equipment refiner might need several years. The Divine Machine only takes a month to refine. From this small heart, one can see the incredible level of the Eight Ultimate Skills. It's like the absolute crushing of the Gundam against the Zaku One, or the Titans killing the remnants of Zeon like chopping melons and vegetables, or the Riot GM beating the Zaku One and blowing up the Iron Barrel at the same time.

One month is like a rocket to break through a technology that is far ahead of its time from scratch, but it is too slow for Ouyang Sun and Qian Shu now.

"Is it possible for you to do it in a week?"

"I worked overtime that month."

Ma Er said helplessly, "Based on my usual work schedule, it would take at least three or four months. I absolutely hate overtime. My evenings are reserved for the anime. Oh, I can't do that tomorrow. The latest Gundam series starts airing tomorrow, and I want to watch anime instead of working."

"Xianfu, this is my request. Can you do it within a week?"

The feeling of weakness and fatigue was evident in Ouyang Falcon's tone. With the help of Tongtian Lu, talismans and spells from Tianshi Mansion, Ouyang Falcon was able to handle most areas of the inner world with ease. However, facing Qianshu, whose heart had stopped beating and whose artificial heart was about to stop working, Ouyang Falcon was powerless.

Different fields are like different mountains. The barriers between each field in the inner world are comparable to natural chasms. The Tongtian Talisman can allow Ouyang Xuan to jump over most of the natural chasms. This time, facing the wall called death that is infinitely high above, infinitely deep below, infinitely far to the left, and infinitely far to the right, Ouyang Xuan felt at a loss for the second time. The first time he had this feeling was when he was in Shu and watched Lu Xiaoyu almost die in front of him.

If I had the power of a horse...

Ouyang Xuan blamed himself for slowing down the speed of collecting talismans during this period. If he had the power of the horse talisman now, he would not be so helpless. With the horse talisman that can cure all diseases, Ouyang Xuan would not even need to repair Qianshu's artificial heart. He could directly cure Qianshu's heart disease and make the heart that had been silent for a long time move again.

"Huh~"

When Ma Er heard Ouyang Xuan calling his name directly, he felt a chill rushing up from his tailbone. When your bad friend calls you by your name instead of a nickname, you won't think that your relationship has taken a step forward, you will only think that he wants to harm you or cheat you.

"No, don't do this, I'm scared."

Ma Er rubbed his skin fiercely, trying to poke away the goose bumps. "Is it your harem? The one who urgently needs this heart right now?"

"Um……"

Ouyang Sun silently accepted Ma Er's statement, "He's a very cute junior whom I value very much."

"That's great~ When I was studying in Northeast China, there were only a few girls in the entire college."

"That heart—"

"At least a month."

Ma Er interrupted Ouyang Falcon and said, "Master Ou, machinery is a very rigorous thing. Every detail must be polished and measured before it can be assembled. Every step in the process takes time. It's not something that can be solved by sheer perseverance."

"I can only say I'll make it for you in a month if you have the blueprints. But even with the blueprints, I still have to test it, do rough and fine processing. This is something that's meant to be placed inside your body, not an exoskeleton."

"One month, is that your limit?"

"It's as extreme as it can be."

Ma Er and Ouyang Xuan had known each other for quite a while. This was the first time he had heard a sense of vulnerability in Ouyang Xuan's voice. "Ouyang, if... I just said if, this is really her last time, then-"

"What if I have a way to help you break through your limits? Can you figure it out in a week?"

Ouyang Xuan suddenly said.

"Huh? Are you going to use the Tongtian Lu to speed me up or stop time?"

Ma Er doesn't think that the Tongtian Talisman has this ability. If the Tongtian Talisman can control the time of the entire world at will, the aristocratic families on the mainland will definitely get the Tongtian Talisman even if it means their families will be destroyed and their entire families will be executed.

During the few years in the island country, under the influence and infection of his lovers, Ouyang Xuan has grown a lot, and he also knows that many times the motivation from the heart can increase a person's work efficiency ten or a hundred times. As long as there is a carrot hanging on the donkey's forehead, he can run at the speed of a Uma Musume. As long as the two-dimensional people are given a temptation that they cannot refuse in this life or the next, they can do anything, anything!

"Don't you like anime from the island country?"

"Aren't you telling the cat whether you like fish? This kind of thing is obvious, okay?"

Ma Er recalled: "The first time we met, wasn't it when I bought that shameful elf ** vending machine and was being chased by my brother, you saved me?"

"Generally speaking, we wouldn't call jumping directly out of the window into someone else's room for shelter being rescued by others."

Ouyang Xuan also remembered the first time he met Ma Er, "And, he was hiding under my desk."

"You have the Three Pure Ones enshrined there."

Ma Er said confidently: "Even if you give my brother ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to smash the table dedicated to the Three Pure Ones and drag me out."

"A figure."

"Huh? What figurine?"

"From the first Astro Boy in 1963 to the latest action figures today, I can get you all the action figures and peripherals that have appeared in the island nation. Even the signatures of every voice actor who has participated in the dubbing of anime, from Mari Shimizu to the latest voice actors, can be obtained for you. As long as you can make an artificial heart within a week, I can get you all the peripheral figures related to island nation animation. All of them."

Ma Er on the other end of the phone had lost response. His brain recognized every word Ouyang Xuan said at this moment, but the huge impact caused by it made Ma Er give up thinking. What kind of feeling was that? It was like a hungry ghost for a hundred thousand years seeing a mountain of delicious food, like a desert that had been dry for tens of thousands of years welcoming the rain, like a traveler who had struggled for billions of years in the middle of the Pangaea supercontinent seeing an oasis, like the fish on the Titanic returning to the sea.

That's a 2D otaku who's come to a different world where all the anime girls love him! He's come to Water XX Paradise!

It took Ma Er's brain a full ten minutes to process Ouyang Xuan's words that he could buy all the peripheral products of the island country for him.

43

Chapter 43 From today on, I am your senior’s girlfriend.

Hearing that there was no response from Ma Er on the other end of the phone, Ouyang Xuan was not in a hurry. He just waited silently for Ma Er to recover from the shock. He listened to Ma Er's breathing from stopping to rapid, and it seemed as if he could even hear the sound of his heartbeat.

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. For the two-dimensional species, as long as you give them enough, they can really do everything. Death and overwork are no problem at all. It's just a matter of letting Ma Er increase his work efficiency by more than four times. It's very simple.

"Although...although...what you said is very tempting, but...but..."

Ma Er's mood calmed down, but he hadn't completely recovered to his initial calmness. "Compressing the time four times at once... Even for me... it's not that easy to do... This..."

When Ma Er heard Ouyang Xuan's offer for all the peripheral products related to the action figures, he wanted to agree immediately. However, as the words reached his throat, he pinched his own neck and swallowed them back. This was not Ma Er bargaining, but his rationality was still barely retained in the face of this meteorite-like and impactful reward.

This is a human life. What you have to do concerns a human life. It is not something you can agree to casually. What if you can't do it?

It’s okay to slack off, but only on unimportant things.

"Ouyang...you...you really gave me a lot...so much that I wanted to push myself a little...but..."

"All the Transformers, G.I. Joes, and the Japanese figures, as well as all the American animation figures, I can also get them all for you. I only have one request: you must make that heart within a week."

Ouyang Xuan knew that he had to push Ma Er a little further.

At this time, two little figures appeared above Ma Er's head, just like the angel and devil figures in countless animations.

Angel: "Ma Er, ah Ma Er, although we can use drugs and my brother's machine to forcibly overdraw our work efficiency, but afterward, we——"

Ma Er grabbed the angel on his forehead and threw it out of the window.

If I could get all the Japanese anime figures plus America's, my life wouldn't be worth a damn! Don't underestimate our bond!

Ma Er's last string of sanity was completely broken. All the figures of the Japanese animation plus all the figures of the American animation, if the former would directly beat Ma Er to a sliver of health, then Ouyang Sun's second move would directly kill Ma Er who was on the killing line.

Even after completing this artificial heart, I will die on the workbench. No! Even if I die, I will wait until Ouyang's hand is finished. After taking a look at them, I will die! For Cyber, oh no, for the second dimension!

"Master Ou..."

His rationality was crushed, his bottom line was crossed, and he was about to start his desperate mode. However, Ma Er's mood calmed down. He took a deep breath and said, "Plus all the Gundam models, from the protagonist's machine to the auxiliary machine, from the body to the accessories, I want them all that the dog generation has released."

Since you are willing to risk your life, it is reasonable to ask the client for more money, right?

"make a deal."

"A word is settled!"

Although he couldn't see Ma Er's appearance at the moment, Ouyang Xuan could also infer that Ma Er had entered a state of frenzy. The extremely high concentration of hormone secretion made Ma Er not know what an opponent was. As for how Ma Er was doing after a week of such high-intensity work, Ouyang Xuan no longer cared about it. Even Ma Er didn't care. People die for money, birds die for food, and the two-dimensional world is crazy about figures.

"Within a week, that is, within seven days excluding today, I will definitely make that heart for you!"

Ma Er got angry.

"I'm counting on you, Ma Er."

"Leave it to me, my dearest friends!"

Ma Er said excitedly, "Even if I lose my life, I will still make you an artificial heart. It's just a week of burning overtime. Just watch me persevere and hold on."

"Watch out, Master Ou! That Gundam is awesome! Oh no, that Gundam isn't just for looks! It's just an artificial heart! Watch me destroy it with my Exploding Liver Soul!"

"Then as a deposit, I'll send you the action figures currently available on the island nation."

Before Ouyang Xuan finished speaking, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone. Ma Er couldn't wait to start working. The sooner he made the artificial heart, the sooner he could see the figures.

Faced with the workload of making an artificial heart by hand from scratch, which is as heavy as the Himalayas, Ma Er no longer has anything to be afraid of. He presses his head tightly against his neck, shouts about friendship and hard work, and shouts "Don't underestimate the bond between us" and rushes forward.

After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Xuan still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief. Ma Er's side was the path with the greatest hope, and he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Just like a great warrior said, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Qianshu's artificial heart now has low battery power, so she has to lie quietly in bed. This is not an easy task for Qianshu, who is lively and active by nature. Although Qianshu has not woken up yet, Ouyang Xuan still wants to stay with Qianshu just in case, so that she can see the person she likes first when she wakes up. It is also beneficial for Qianshu to keep quiet. If Qianshu refuses to be quiet, Ouyang Xuan will force her to be quiet.

Qianshu is now inseparable from Ouyang Xuan. Although Ouyang Xuan's charging speed cannot keep up with the speed of power consumption, it can also greatly delay Qianshu's countdown. During this period, if Qianshu agrees, Ouyang Xuan intends to keep Qianshu in a charging state.

"senior……"

Takina's voice came from behind.

"Is Qianzhu awake?"

Ouyang Falcon asked.

"No, the store manager and Ruixi kicked me out, saying that I should rest for a while. I didn't want Qianshu to collapse before I woke up."

"I'll have 2B take you back. You're in such a bad state right now."

Takina's face was pale at this time, and her face was full of self-blame. She stepped barefoot on the cold floor of the rooftop at night, and her white toes were frozen and bloodless. The sandals she wore when going out during the day were broken. When Takina and Ouyang Shun rushed towards Qianzhu, the shoes that were originally designed for ladies to walk in could not last for half a second under Takina's full sprint.

"Please let me stay here. I don't want to be too far away from Qianshu."

Takina sat down next to Ouyang Shun.

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to see Qianshu for the last time?"

"Chizuki will be fine, right, Senpai?"

Takina didn't dare to look at Ouyang Xuan. She lowered her head deeply and grabbed Ouyang Xuan's wrist as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw. Only the warmth coming from Ouyang Xuan could make Takina feel a little bit at ease.

"It'll be okay."

Ouyang Shun held Takina's hand.

"Can I lean on you for a while, Senior?"

Takina just informed Ouyang Xuan briefly. As she said this, Takina's head leaned down, using Ouyang Xuan's shoulder as a pillow. The little person looked very fragile as she leaned on Ouyang Xuan.

"Senior, you knew this a long time ago, right?"
