"Damn my kidneys!"
In a hospital room, a miserable scream echoed.
Following the sound, a young man lay on the bed, clutching his aching kidneys in pain.
"Stop screaming, it's your turn soon. We've already given you a sedative, is it really that painful?"
The doctor, holding a lab report, looked at the young man on the bed with a helpless expression.
"How would I know it would hurt so much! Is the sedative you gave me expired? Why am I still in so much pain!"
The doctor said, "Cao Yi, just bear with it a little longer. It's less than half an hour until it's your turn."
Cao Yi, lying on his side, was drenched in sweat. Whether it was due to psychological reasons or something else, the pain from the kidney stones made him scream miserably.
The doctor looked at Cao Yi and said, "If you had known this earlier, would you be in this situation now? Look at how many of your health indicators are off. You're only 19 years old!"
Hearing the doctor's words, Cao Yi subconsciously replied, "Who would have thought this body would be so weak! If there's a next life, I want an indestructible body and a pair of bulletproof kidneys! No matter what the cost, I can accept it."
Listening to Cao Yi's complaints, the young doctor couldn't help but sigh.
"It's almost your turn, just wait."
Half an hour later, Cao Yi was wheeled into the operating room. After the anesthetic was injected into his body, he finally fulfilled his wish, slowly closing his eyes and falling asleep.
He didn't know how long he had been asleep. When Cao Yi opened his eyes again, he found himself not on the operating table, nor in the ward.
At this moment, Cao Yi was floating in the air, surrounded by nothingness.
"What the hell is this place?"
Just as Cao Yi was puzzled, a mechanical voice sounded in his ears.
"Your wish has been detected: an indestructible body and a pair of bulletproof kidneys.
Matching your wish...
Match successful. Congratulations, Cao Yi, your wish has been granted."
When Cao Yi opened his eyes again, he returned to reality, but the environment before him was somewhat surprising.
"Huh?"
Cao Yi looked at the almost wrecked car in front of him and the surrounding dilapidated buildings, and for a moment, he didn't react.
However, before he could figure out where he was, the relief in his body made him feel refreshed.
The pain caused by the kidney stones had vanished, and Cao Yi felt an unusual sense of ease.
But before Cao Yi could fully enjoy his relief, he suddenly realized that this wasn't his body.
Silver armor covered his body, and it seemed he had a pair of snow-white wings behind him. The protrusion on his chest armor constantly reminded him that this wasn't his original body.
"What the hell?"
As Cao Yi was examining his body, the scene before him suddenly turned dark, and he found himself on a platform.
"Reconnecting...
Warning! The gene engine is damaged and cannot connect to the Angel Communication Network or the Tianren System.
Emergency protocol initiated. Connected to your personal dark plane computer.
Notice: Due to the limited computing power of your personal computer, the following abilities are temporarily unavailable:
Tianren Judgment, Flare Bombing, Cross-Planetary Micro-Wormhole Transport, Cross-Galactic Dark Plane Communication..."
Cao Yi looked at the series of information before him, feeling somewhat dazed.
"Super Soldier Academy, I didn't expect to end up here. But why in an angel's body? Even if it's a low-level one, I'd accept it!"
Cao Yi looked at the data panel while complaining about his new body.
"Whoosh!"
A small figure, like Paimon, suddenly appeared before Cao Yi.
"What are you picking? What's there to pick! Didn't you choose this yourself? An indestructible body and a pair of bulletproof kidneys."
Faced with the sudden appearance of the small figure, Cao Yi was taken aback, then wanted to argue.
"But..."
Paimon: "But what? A body upgraded with third-generation super-soldier technology, can't it be bulletproof?"
Cao Yi: "It can be, but..."
Paimon: "But what? A body that can withstand missiles and even nuclear bombs, are you still worried about kidney stones?
Not to mention kidney stones, this body doesn't even have a single mite! Such a perfect body, others would be lucky to have it. What right do you have to be picky?"
Faced with Paimon's rapid-fire words, Cao Yi gave up on arguing.
Cao Yi: "Wait, who are you, miss?"
Cao Yi suddenly realized he was in the dark plane, and the thing that appeared before him must be...
Paimon's face darkened when she heard Cao Yi's question.
"Hey! Are you kidding me! I look so cute and adorable, and you call me 'miss'!"
Paimon punched Cao Yi on the head, her face puffed up in a way that was quite amusing.
Cao Yi grabbed the sulking Paimon in his hand, extremely curious.
"Spill it, what are you exactly? You're not some village chief or something, are you?"
Paimon glanced at Cao Yi, though she was angry, she answered his question out of professional ethics.
"Right, I'm like a guide in a game."
Cao Yi was somewhat excited upon hearing this.
"Can you give me a lot of quests and rewards for completing them?
Hey, don't talk so much, just give me the newbie reward first. Isn't that how it works? Don't tell me you don't have it!"
Seeing Cao Yi's excited face, Paimon felt a bit embarrassed.
"I... I'm sorry. I don't have the ability to give quests or rewards.
The only thing I can do is take you through planes, and even then, we can't choose where we go.
Apart from that, my program doesn't have any other abilities."
Cao Yi: "Huh?"
Cao Yi was dumbfounded after hearing Paimon's answer.
Paimon: "Hey, don't look at me like that. I helped repair the gene engine of this body!
The gene engine of this body was already dead. I fused part of your genes into the engine and revived it.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to occupy this body! I just don't have the original data for this body.
To fully restore it, we need to find the original data for comparison and then repair it."
Cao Yi waved his hand helplessly after hearing Paimon's explanation.
"Whatever, since things have come to this, there's no point in complaining."
Cao Yi then exited the dark plane. When he returned to his body, a sense of weakness spread through him.
Cao Yi stood up from the ground, accidentally pulling at the wound on his abdomen.
