He lives on another planet and is majoring in Earth Science.

The whale-man pinched Li Ji's pale arm: "This little thing is cool and refreshing, and it's quite fun."

Shrimp Pupu shouted excitedly, "Don't move! It's brittle, it'll break!"

The whale-man quickly released his grip; thankfully, he hadn't used too much force, and the corpse hadn't broken apart.

The public transport spaceship has landed on an asteroid.

Xia Pupu carefully carried the corpse off the boat.

They arrived at a small flying saucer station and boarded a dilapidated, rusty old flying saucer. It was only with these small flying saucers that they could be transported to the planet where the black market clinic was located.

Four people were crammed into a small flying saucer, like fruit packed into a glass jar, with Lahu's wasp-like face pressed against the glass.

Xia Pupu's massive arm was still outside, pulling on Li Ji's corpse: "We can't get the body up here! Should we take another ride?"

Rahula's face was distorted by the glass, and he shouted, "No! It's too expensive!"

"Anyway, the long and thin ones will be reimbursed."

“That makes sense.” Lahu quickly crawled out of the cramped flying saucer and shouted at the penguin man caretaker by the roadside, “Uncle, give me four! One for each of us! No! Five! Give this dead man one too!”

Magic quickly stopped the penguin administrator: "Don't do that! Two are enough."

Lahura fiddled with the serrated teeth on its pincer-like mouth: "Magic, you don't need to save money for Thin Strip, he's a gangster. Let's go to Star 87 and find some cockroach girls, we can put it on his tab."

"You have such low manners."

Everyone boarded the flying saucer, and Xia Pupu held the corpse tightly in her arms, as if afraid of breaking it.

His mind made a gurgling sound.

Magic asked, "Have you finished digesting?"

"Hmm, it feels so good when my stomach doesn't compress my brain. I suddenly thought of something: if all the thin, long vessels go to operate garbage ships, will there be any money left?"

The silence inside the UFO was deafening.

The two flying saucers landed together on the barren desert.

Looking at the surrounding sandstorms and desert, Lahula asked, "Would there be any unlicensed clinics in a place like this?"

"some."

They rode their tongtongtongs at breakneck speed across the Gobi Desert. Xiapupu held the corpse close to his chest, afraid that the wind and sand would tear its skin, yet he dared not squeeze too hard, lest he crush it.

A cave appears ahead.

"That's it."

Tongtongtong suddenly rushed in, braked sharply, and came to a stop right in front of a large iron gate.

Lahula, leaning against the iron gate, exclaimed, "I never expected there to be such a hidden gem here."

The iron gate slowly opened, revealing an elevator.

They took the elevator directly to the underground.

Lahu La and Tongtongtong's mouths never stopped.

"What are unlicensed clinics like? Are they very dirty and chaotic?"

"There must be all sorts of limbs scattered everywhere."

"It also has to be pitch black, with an eerie red glow."

Xia Pupu looked helpless: "Where did you guys get these ideas from?"

"Earth movies, huh?"

"Watch less of that kind of mindless stuff."

The elevator doors slowly opened, letting in warm, soft light.

A nurse dressed in a pure white suit stood at the door to greet her; the white protective suit covered her entire body, making it impossible to tell what race she was.

The illegal clinic was impeccably clean, with all white walls and furniture, making it look no different from a legitimate hospital.

"This is not what I imagined."

Before they even stepped out of the elevator, they were sprayed with disinfectant, followed by a UV light that shone on their entire bodies.

"We are a sterile hospital, please understand."

Tongtongtong screamed in despair, "You should have said you were going to disinfect! All my little pets in the gas tank are dead!" Lahula said helplessly, "He's an idiot, ignore him."

They followed the nurse to the consultation desk, where they were greeted by someone also dressed in white protective suits.

"What do you need? Organ replacement, facial plastic surgery, interspecies grafting, sex reassignment surgery, sex organ augmentation and sculpting, multi-person grafting, etc. We also have a new activity, organ shuffling blind boxes. If you are tired of the boring lifestyle brought about by the existing organ arrangement, we can transform your organs, such as turning your hands into a head, your feet into buttocks, and your tail into a mouth. Due to racial and technological limitations, this surgery can only be performed in blind boxes."

Lahu scratched his face and grinned foolishly: "I'm a little tempted. If I grew 80 more sex organs, would the Queen Bee look at me differently? Then I could avoid 200 years of detours."

"Don't even think about it. I know about this surgery. If there are too many organs and the blood supply can't keep up, it's all for nothing."

"You seem quite experienced. Shrimp, those antennae below its mouth, could they be...?"

"It's a foot! A foot! A foot!"

Shrimp Pupu ignored him and communicated directly with the nurse: "I need a life-saving surgery, and this is the one."

The caregiver pressed a button on the table, and a capsule with wheels drove out of the wall.

Shrimp popped the corpse inside.

"We will first assess the body. As long as the cells are not highly decomposed, the success rate is very high."

The glass cover of the capsule chamber slowly closed.

The caregiver checked on Li Ji through the glass and saw a faint layer of frost on the surface of his skin.

"The body underwent flash freezing. What method was used?"

Several people looked at each other.

Xia Pupu recalled the scene: "The method was to put it in a freezer at -20°C. Do you think that counts as flash freezing?"

The nurse remained noncommittal, writing on the tablet: "Slow freezing may damage cells as ice crystals form from the water inside the body."

"Nurse, will this affect the success rate?"

"Of course it will. Physical damage to cells and cell death are two different things. The success rate is only 30% now. And it costs extra."

The capsule car drove into the wall and disappeared, and the nurse returned to the reception desk.

"Please settle the bill first."

Tongtongtong asked a stupid question: "Is there a money-back guarantee if it's unsuccessful?"

The nurse looked at him and asked a question that struck at the heart of the matter: "We have brain modification surgery here that can significantly improve intelligence. Would you like to have one?"

"No need, I'm very satisfied with my intelligence. You still haven't answered my question about a money-back guarantee if it's unsuccessful."

Lahu pushed him away: "Nurse, don't pay him any mind. He's an idiot. What I want to ask is, if this doesn't work, can we go through insurance?"

"Would you like to have a brain modification surgery? We can increase the number of brain sulci, usually by 30%."

"So that won't work, right?"

"Hmm. Why don't you ask if we can use the alliance's health insurance?"

"I won't ask. You're an unlicensed clinic, so you probably can't get medical insurance coverage."

The nurse yelled, "You know we're an illegal clinic, why are you asking such stupid questions? Are you going to pay or not? It's 224 million in total, who's going to pay?"

They looked at each other, saying, "Let's chip in."

Rahula: "I have 30."

Tongtongtong: "I have 400."

Magic: "I only have 15."

Shrimp Pupu: "I have the most, I have 1200."

With a smile, Xia Pupu approached the reception desk: "Sister, I've done odd jobs here, including organ transport. Could you give me an insider price?"

How much have you thought of?

"Is 1500 okay?"

The sound of teeth grinding could be heard coming from behind the white protective suit.

"Either you pay the money within an hour, or I'll take the body to be cremated and the ashes scattered into space. Now!" (End of Chapter)
