Mechanical Doctor

...

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Krobus, who was sitting in the car seat, couldn't stop coughing.

Seeing that he couldn't stop coughing, his granddaughter hurriedly handed him a bottle of potion carefully.

"Grandpa, please hold on a little longer, we'll be at our destination soon."

After drinking the magic potion in the bottle with difficulty, Krobus stopped coughing and regained some energy.

He looked at the desolate scenery outside the car window and murmured:

"I hope everything goes well this time."

The older Krobus got, the more he loved to recall the past, especially this time when it might decide his life or death, which made him recall the past again.

His life can be said to be lucky and unfortunate.

Fortunately, he was born in a legendary family, so he had never worried about "trivial matters" such as food, clothing, housing and transportation since he was born.

Unfortunately, it was probably because his talent was too ordinary.

Krobus worked hard all his life and finally reached the middle level with great difficulty. This "achievement" was indeed the worst among the families with legendary blood.

When all the children of the same age in the family had successfully become professionals, he had not yet entered the profession.

When he finally became a professional, most of the children of the same age had already reached the level of level three or four.

In this way, Krobus, who was always "one step behind", became the target given up by the family.

As soon as he became an adult, the family kicked him into a grocery store as a store manager.

Perhaps Krobus was too honest, which made him never do any tricks of selling inferior goods as good ones or shortchanging, which made his grocery store always in a state of not making much profit.

Therefore, this also made the family think that he had no talent for business.

And the family's way of dealing with such people who had neither the talent for cultivation nor the talent for business was to ignore them.

The family would allocate a certain amount of industry to these people, and from then on the family would not ask about the life of this person. Of course, if the person was about to starve to death, the family would also provide food, but that was all.

In this way, Krobus, who was abandoned by the family, got the small grocery store assigned to him by the family and lived an ordinary life.

And this ordinary life lasted for decades.

During this period, there was no broken engagement or thirty years of ups and downs.

There was only a young man who once had dreams, slowly became a middle-aged man with a little dream, and finally became an old man without any dreams.

Just when Krobus thought he was about to die, suddenly the family that had not been in contact for a long time found him.

The family told him that there was a miracle doctor in the New World who could make him immortal. The family decided to let him have this operation, and all the expenses incurred during the period would be reimbursed by the family.

When Krobus heard about this good thing? He immediately decided to refuse.

After all, he was an old man who had lived for so many years, how could he not know that there is no good thing that falls from the sky?

But in the end he did not refuse.

After all, he was a marginal person in the family, and he had to rely on the family for food, so at this time he had no power to refuse at all.

And Krobus thought about it in the end. He didn't have many days left to live anyway, so no matter what conspiracy this immortality surgery had, it didn't matter to him.

However, when he came to Zesora City and learned that the immortality surgery was performed by Manolin, a famous doctor in recent years, he felt a little hopeful.

After all, if they could really continue to live, how many people would be willing to die?

Why did Krobus's family choose a marginal person like him to perform the immortality surgery? This was mainly because there were only a few people in the core layer of the entire family who met all of Manolin's conditions.

And these few people didn't trust Manolin's surgery very much.

Therefore, the family decided to send Krobus to try it out.

And just as Krobus was reminiscing about the past, several white lights like searchlights suddenly shot out from the side of the road.

Just when everyone was still confused, these white lights quickly swept over the vehicles carrying those old men and women.

The vehicle that Krobus was riding in was naturally swept by the beam of light, but the beam of light did not cause any other abnormalities except that it penetrated the vehicle and shone on a few people.

Seeing this scene, Manolin, who was sitting in the first car, smiled slightly. He knew that the righteous believers had taken action.

The other legendary strongmen who were riding in the same car with him saw Manolin's expression and almost understood that Manolin was behind this.

Those beams of light came and went quickly. After the righteous believers confirmed that these old menThe wives at most committed some minor crimes, but no major crimes, and the justice believers retreated one after another.

"What was that just now?"

Krobus asked the driver with lingering fear.

All the drivers were members of the security team, and they naturally knew about the existence of the justice believers.

However, they would not tell these people about their cooperation with the Justice Church.

Therefore, the driver prevaricated:

"Oh, these light columns you mentioned are probably the characteristics of the New World."

...

After this episode, the convoy quickly arrived at the destination.

Now these old men and women are facing a new problem, that is, who will have the operation first and who will have the operation later.

In fact, everyone still has some distrust of this operation, even if this operation is led by Manolin, the "famous doctor".

Everyone looked at each other, and no one wanted to be the first to try it.

Seeing this situation, Manolin simply decided to use a lottery to determine the order of priority.

Since few of these old men and women can walk on their own, the lot is drawn by the people who take care of them.

Krobus's granddaughter "unfortunately" drew the first one.

"It's okay, it's okay, the first one is not bad."

After comforting his granddaughter with a sad face, Krobus resolutely walked into the operating room with a cane.

Krobus is actually the youngest among this group of old men and women.

The others are at least a hundred years old, and he is only 90 years old this year.

Although he looks similar to those centenarians, he even looks a little old.

But this is because he did not use the life-extending potion.

The life-extending potion is not omnipotent. Although it will extend a person's life, it cannot completely delay the decline of body functions.

Just like the governor of the Siren Islands, even if he is a powerful transcendent at the peak of level nine, he will become unable to even lift a small wooden stick as time goes by.

"Master Manolin, please."

Krobus was tied to the operating table, with a generous expression on his face.

His expression made Manolin feel a little funny.

"Don't worry, when you wake up again, you can welcome your new life."

Krobus didn't hear Manolin's words clearly, because he had already inhaled the anesthetic gas.
