Chapter 17

Li Ge casually clapped his hands and stood up, then put his hands in his pockets and glanced at the young man beside him with a smile, "Let's go."

"Ah?" The young man was taken aback, "Brother Li, where to?"

"Back to the hotel." Li Ge was no longer concerned about whether the two on the stage were dead or alive. That wasn't important; what mattered was that he had had his fun.

"Oh, oh." The young man hurriedly agreed. He felt very awkward because he couldn't understand the thoughts of this noble who was only a few years older than him, and could only passively follow.

Although his goal was to become Li Ge's subordinate, being led around by someone else in everything made him feel really bad.

They all stood up and started walking out. As they passed by the stage, the young man suddenly stopped, turned around, and glared coldly at Wang Ge on the stage.

This bastard made me lose a million...

A look of anger flashed across the young man's face. If it weren't for the need to please Li Ge, he would have thrown this bastard into the [Insect Beast] cage for some fun today!

You're lucky! The young man paused for a moment, then resumed his usual expression and caught up with Li Ge. They left the No. 8 Boxing Arena through the VIP passage.

"Byakko—" A bald man rushed onto the stage like a madman. He was Byakko's assistant.

Seeing his cash cow die on the stage, he lost his mind and, with red eyes, kicked Wang Ge's head viciously.

"Looking for death!"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed, and a black shadow flew from the audience, hitting the assistant's head precisely.

"Bang—"

The assistant was just an ordinary person and was knocked unconscious with a bloody head, lying on the stage.

The black shadow turned out to be a hard plastic chair, which had been forcibly broken from the tiered audience seats.

The curly-haired man charged out of the crowd like a human tank, leaped onto the stage, which was a meter high, kicked the unconscious assistant away, and then carried Wang Ge out in a hurry.

The sun coins on the stage would not be missing a single one.

The boxing arena had strict rules about this. If a boxer fainted and the money was stolen or taken, no one would want to fight in this arena.

The curly-haired man carried Wang Ge into the medical room. Upon entering, he was surprised to see the doctor: "It's you again?"

It was the same doctor who had been on duty the previous day and was working normally today. Seeing the curly-haired man, the doctor was also surprised, looking at him and then at Wang Ge: "It's you again?"

Both were embarrassed. The curly-haired man had just scolded the doctor the day before and now had to ask for help to save a life. The doctor thought the gene tank had malfunctioned and almost killed someone.

The curly-haired man wanted to change the doctor. He was still upset about the gene tank incident and thought the doctor was unreliable. However, seeing that the other doctors were busy and only this one was free, he had no choice but to say, "Doctor, please..."

"I'll do my best..." The doctor also reluctantly took on the task. The report on the gene tank had been submitted, but it hadn't been replaced yet. The problem occurred the previous night, and only a day had passed. Although later tests showed the gene tank seemed normal, who knew if it would malfunction again?

After the surgery, the exhausted doctor rested for a while and then came to check the situation behind the white screen.

What you fear will come to pass! The doctor slapped his forehead. The gene tank was indeed empty again, and Wang Ge was lying naked in it, like a fish on the beach.

The more advanced and sophisticated the machine, the more likely it is to malfunction! The doctor shook his head helplessly. This problem existed widely at the beginning of the century and remained unsolved by the end.

Fortunately, Wang Ge had already recovered, so the doctor didn't discover his secret.

Good thing I came in first; otherwise, the curly-haired man would have gone crazy again. The doctor was secretly relieved and quickly entered the iris code. The gene tank began to refill with gene nutrient solution.

However, this time, Wang Ge was just about to wake up. The new gene nutrient solution hit his skin, and he slowly opened his eyes, stunned: Where am I?

The doctor was speechless. Why did you wake up at this moment? If you had waited two more minutes, the gene nutrient solution would have been full!

"You're awake?" The doctor had no choice but to explain helplessly, "Sorry, the gene tank malfunctioned again. This is a one in ten thousand chance. I suggest you try buying a lottery ticket; maybe you'll win the grand prize tonight, brother."

"One in ten thousand chance? Why is it me again?" Wang Ge was both shocked and angry. He had heard from the curly-haired man about the gene tank malfunctioning last time, but it was just an accident, and he couldn't make a fuss over it given his status.

But this time, Wang Ge's anger flared up: "This can kill people, you know?"

"Sorry, sorry. We don't want such accidents to happen." The doctor, feeling guilty, explained reluctantly, "In theory, a full tank of gene nutrient solution should be enough for ten level-10 lives. The only possibility for this to happen is if you are a level-15 life or higher, which would cause a shortage of gene nutrient solution. But you are only a level-6 life, so I don't know why this is happening. Maybe it's just bad luck..."

"..." Wang Ge was furious, but when he heard the doctor's words, he suddenly remembered the strange changes on Gele Mountain.

At the time, he thought he was spontaneously combusting, but that afternoon, his strength had greatly increased. Normally, strength should improve gradually, but his had suddenly increased.

Something must have happened, but he didn't know what. Wang Ge frowned, being a calm and steady person. He thought carefully and realized that all the doubts pointed to that place, but there was too little evidence to draw a conclusion.

But no matter what, such a low-probability event had happened twice. If it happened a third time, the doctor would definitely suspect him. In the future, he should avoid coming here for treatment... Wang Ge thought to himself and then said coldly:

"Please don't attribute the problem to my bad luck. I am a signed C-level boxer. If I die in the medical room due to a medical accident, doctor, how do you think the boxing arena will handle it?

"Don't just blame the gene tank. We protested yesterday, and the same problem happened again today. Do you think the boxing arena will punish the gene tank or you?"

"This..." The doctor was speechless. A boxer's life is cheap on the stage, but in the medical room, a boxer's life is more valuable than a doctor's.

Doctors are hired to keep boxers alive. If they can't, they lose their value.

In underground boxing arenas, whether it's a boxer, a sparring partner, or a doctor, losing value means a tragic end...

"Brother, making a living is not easy..." The doctor, who held the power over life and death, had never been so humble to a boxer before. But now, he had no choice but to lower his stance and said warmly, "Brother, you look a bit pale. Here, I have a bottle of [Herbal Essence] medicine, which I'll give you to help you recover."

"Herbal Essence medicine?" Wang Ge was slightly surprised. This was a project developed by the Tiancheng Gene Medicine Company where his parents worked. It extracted beneficial components from various plants, refined them, and formulated them into Herbal Essence.

The Herbal Essence contained ingredients like Poria, Notoginseng, and Licorice. Taking it would replenish blood and qi, strengthen the body, and greatly aid recovery. It sold for 5,000 sun coins per bottle, and although Wang Ge knew about it, he had never seen it.

The doctor, with a pained expression, held a bottle of Herbal Essence. It wasn't cheap for him, equivalent to about a week's salary. But this bottle was a reward from the medical room, and today's incident was related to his livelihood and even his life safety, so he had to give it up.

I believe this will be very tempting for a boxer... The doctor hesitated and handed the Herbal Essence to Wang Ge, "Brother, about today's incident..."

"What incident today?" Wang Ge took the Herbal Essence and said casually, his attention now on the medicine.

In the exquisite quality assurance glass bottle, the green liquid looked like a piece of jade, and Wang Ge was quite excited but remained calm, looking at the doctor with a smile, "Brother, it seems you have a high income!"

"Not high, not high..." The doctor was relieved when Wang Ge seemed to accept the deal, but Wang Ge's words made his heart race again. What does he mean? Is he trying to extort me?

Wang Ge wasn't that kind of person. He teased the doctor a bit and then jumped out of the gene tank. He was now fully recovered and full of energy.

After putting on his clothes, Wang Ge walked out and saw the curly-haired man waiting outside. The curly-haired man was sniffing a cigarette, and upon seeing Wang Ge, he threw the cigarette away and hugged him, laughing, "Big Wang, you're finally out. I was about to break in to see if the gene tank malfunctioned again!"

The doctor's face turned white when he heard the curly-haired man's words. He only relaxed when Wang Ge said it didn't happen.

However, he secretly vowed never to take on Big Wang's business again. This isn't Big Wang; it's a curse king!

Damn! My Herbal Essence...
