Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 11 Breaking Free from the Cage (Part 1)

"Relax, relax, child, it will be over soon."

"Doctor, is this really just a routine check-up? It's not going to be some kind of biopsy, is it?"

"Of course, of course, child. Look me in the eyes and believe me. A doctor's heart is like a parent's; how could I possibly lie to you?"

"Really? I don't believe it."

Inside the operating room, when Jian Hunzhen suddenly changed his expression and solemnly uttered those six words, the attending physician felt as if he had been struck by the law of cause and effect. His blood pressure instantly rose by 1,000 Pa, and his originally kind old face became ferocious.

He paused for a moment, looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and sighed, "I promise."

Her innocent eyes drooped slightly, feigning timidity: "You promise? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

The moment the attending physician uttered those three words, he seemed to see the corners of the boy's mouth gently curving into a beautiful smile, and for no reason, he felt a pang of heart palpitation.

"No--"

His eyes widened.

He sensed that a venomous snake had been lurking in his mind for a long time, and during those few minutes of hesitation, it finally found an opening and struck with lightning speed, biting through his throat in an instant.

"doctor?"

The nurse next to her frowned. She thought she heard the doctor suddenly exclaim, but when she turned her head, she saw that the doctor's expression was calm, even more so than when he was focused on surgery.

The attending physician suddenly turned his head away and said calmly, "This child's condition is not very stable. It's probably because there are so many of us that he's nervous. I'll handle this alone today. You can all leave."

"what?"

The nurse paused, somewhat confused, exchanged a glance with her colleague, feeling a little annoyed, but still nodded, choosing to comply.

This "surgery" is not difficult to begin with, and there is a bonus every time it is completed.

It seems the doctor intends to keep all the bonus for himself today.

Hunzhen watched the nurses leave one after another, and gradually relaxed his posture.

The attending physician closed the door tightly and even lazily yawned.

The attending physician respectfully said, "Master."

Hunzhen lay down on the operating table with his back turned: "Let's finish this quickly."

"I will obey your will."

The attending physician quickly began the procedure on Hunzhen.

Even if the Simulated Man hijacks the attending physician, he won't be able to break through the situation, but this is not a problem for Hunzhen at all.

Having already passed the company's security check and confirmed his planetary-level life level, the company's security personnel naturally lowered their guard against his rebellion.

No one could have imagined that a slave who had been controlled by the company for years could break through from the planetary level to the eternal level in an instant!

With his spiritual power at the ninth level of the Hunzhen Heng Star level, he seized the opportunity and subdued the attending physician instantly without causing any disturbance. He then used a soul control secret technique that he had exchanged at the Giant Axe Arena to silently turn the physician into his soul slave!

Thanks to the diligent work of the attending physician, who had been transformed into a soul slave, Hunzhen successfully completed the replacement of the biochip.

However, unlike normal replacements, this biochip is enveloped by pure genetic primal force, like a capsule of poison that cannot be dissolved and can be expelled from the body at any time.

This chip is like a USB drive that can activate a self-destruct program, but this USB drive is not actually connected to Hunzhen's computer host. It's just like it's plugged into thin air. No matter how the company tries to activate it, it will only be ineffective and won't have any impact on Hunzhen himself. For now, it only serves a location function.

Completing this crucial step is equivalent to gaining half of your freedom.

But Hunzhen was not in a hurry.

He knew very well that the closer he got to the critical moment, the closer he was to the final completion of the mission, the less he could afford to relax or be careless.

Half an hour later, the equipment preparation department.

"Mr. Domoto? This is the equipment I've selected. Could you please sign it?"

Mr. Domoto was reclining in his armchair reading an electronic magazine when he heard this and looked up.

He glanced at Hunzhen in front of him and quickly identified what he had taken out of the equipment storage room.

B9-grade alloy lightweight full-body armor, two second-tier ordinary force weapons (curved swords), two second-tier ordinary telekinetic weapons (flying star shuttles)... four weapons!?

"What do you need so many weapons for?"

Mr. Domoto put down Mr. XX's e-magazine and couldn't help but frown and ask.

He knew that the boy in front of him had secured a spot in the Level 1 training program. Such a genius was very likely to become a cosmic-level powerhouse in the future. Even if he was a slave to the company, it was worthwhile to make an investment in him in advance.

The latest novel is first published here!

That's why I let him take the equipment as he pleased. But... this blatant embezzlement of company resources is going too far!

Even the most ordinary second-tier weapon is still second-tier!

Hunzhen seemed intimidated by Mr. Domoto's gaze and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "It's like this, Mr. Domoto... my fighting style tends to be, uh, rather unrestrained, which often results in weapons being damaged, so I simply prepare more at once."

"Your training camp is still a long way off, far from actual combat, right? This equipment was only issued for training and familiarization; you don't need that much!"

Mr. Domoto rolled his eyes and said in a low voice.

Hunzhen put down a battle sword and two flying star shuttles, revealing a somewhat conflicted expression: "Can't we really keep a few more?"

Mr. Domoto's lips curled into a sneer, inwardly cursing, "Trying to act innocent here? Who doesn't know that you guys are all murderous monsters who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood?"

He immediately lost interest in pursuing the matter and waved his hand, saying, "Take it if you're not afraid of being held accountable. It's within the training terms anyway."

Thank you!

Hunzhen was overjoyed and, with a thought, retrieved the battle sword and flying star shuttle that he had just placed on the table.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Domoto, he strode away. His figure, carrying so many weapons, was rather comical.

As soon as he stepped out of the equipment department, Hunzhen's overly exaggerated smile vanished.

The importance of weapons is self-evident, whether for martial artists or those who wield them.

Although this second-tier weapon is not as good as the one used by the simulated human in the arena, it is still barely enough to allow him to unleash 30% to 50% of his peak strength.

The only problem is that he can't handle too many full-power bursts. That's why he shamelessly brought a few extra supplies.

It was still early before we left the equipment department.

The actual action will have to wait until the next day, after a simulation using the simulation system, to be considered safe.

Hunzhen recalled the normal procedure and headed southwest.

Registration, physical examination, equipment collection, and training camp reporting.

Once you've completed the four major processes, you've officially joined the company's training program.

The Sims have spent hundreds of years in the training camp. As the original, if he doesn't get to taste it, wouldn't he be letting down his good brothers who have worked so hard day and night?

Let's just treat this as a pastime before dawn.
