96: Chapter 96 Hidden Dangers and Threats, A Chance Encounter with Red Lotus

Ever since Qin Feng learned of the existence of the dead egg of the demon god hidden within his body, he had never ignored it.

Although this dead egg could be suppressed by powerful Qi and blood,

But,

existing inside his body,

it remained a hidden danger and a threat.

There was no telling when it might suddenly explode like a landmine.

Therefore, it was best to find it as soon as possible, and then use every means available to dissect it out of his body and destroy it completely.

"To find the dead egg of the demon god hidden in my body, for now... I can only use high-end medical equipment to perform a full-body check-up on myself."

"However, if I want to be detailed enough to cover every corner of my body, those crude medical facilities in the Lower City and those black-hearted private medical institutions are simply out of the question."

In the Lower City,

public hospitals serving the masses were practically non-existent.

The main medical resources were basically controlled by private medical institutions of all sizes.

And these private institutions...

without exception,

were all corrupt.

The shareholders behind them were all those high-and-mighty Upper City elites.

Given the arrogance of the Upper City people and their contempt for the 'untouchables' of the Lower City, how could they possibly place good medical equipment or recruit high-quality medical personnel in these institutions?

Facilities and personnel with cutting-edge medical standards

were basically all in the Upper City.

As for ordinary Lower City residents wanting to go to the Upper City for medical treatment... sorry, 'poor people and dogs not allowed.'

Even someone like Boss Liu of the Rising Sun Giant Beast Factory would have to keep his head down and book an appointment at least three months in advance if he wanted to go to the Upper City for a check-up.

As for whether the appointment would be approved...

that depended on their mood.

"So if I want to go to the Upper City for a physical examination, unless I ask Lu Yunsong for help, there's simply no way."

"But if I ask Lu Yunsong for help, he will inevitably see my physical examination data at the hospital. In that case, my privacy and secrets would basically be exposed."

Qin Feng frowned deeply.

In the past, he didn't have much need for a physical exam, so he didn't think much of it.

Now that he wanted to do a precise full-body check-up,

he realized that for a Lower City resident,

it was truly fraught with difficulties.

"It's a pity that in Xia Qingchuan's underground base, there isn't any equipment for checking a normal human body; it's all for analyzing and researching Behemoth flesh..."

"I'll just have to ask around later to see if there are other ways or channels to get a full-body check-up."

Qin Feng reined in his thoughts.

He began tidying up and storing the highly valuable treasures before him.

Soon,

everything was organized.

He checked his watch.

It was almost time for work.

"Off to work, time to skim some profits!"

Qin Feng changed into a set of clean clothes and walked out of the flesh base.

...

Sunlight soaked into his eyes,

but it wasn't particularly dazzling.

Although the entrance to the Underground Flesh Base was not far from the Ruin Market, it was quite well-hidden.

Because it was located within a mountain-like pile of towering trash.

Furthermore, Xia Qingchuan had installed cutting-edge intelligent monitoring and cloaking devices at the entrance. Only Qin Feng, who had base System permissions, could see it and enter freely.

And when entering or exiting,

both the opening entrance and Qin Feng's figure would be automatically hidden by the device.

Therefore,

even if others were standing right on top of the entrance,

they wouldn't notice anything unusual at all.

Even so,

given Qin Feng's cautious nature,

he only walked out of the base entrance acting as if nothing were wrong after confirming there were no scavengers moving around near the entrance or the surrounding area.

He looked as if he were just another scavenger rummaging through the trash piles.

"Come to think of it, the trash piles in this Ruin Market are really huge."

"I was so busy with work before that I didn't have the time or energy to come wander around here."

Qin Feng walked toward the parking area in the Ruin Market.

As he walked,

he looked around,

feeling quite leisurely.

Parking in the Ruin Market naturally required a fee. If one parked randomly, the vehicle might be dismantled and hauled away by others.

Only in the parking lots were there reliable security measures.

Of course,

the price was also quite high.

However, Xia Qingchuan's base had an anonymous permanent parking card, and it was for a VIP spot with even better security, so there was no need to worry about the safety or cost of parking.

"Eh? Brother Qin?"

A soft, cute voice filled with a hint of surprise suddenly reached his ears.

"Hmm?"

Qin Feng looked toward the source of the sound.

He saw a young girl's figure standing on her tiptoes, waving her hands vigorously at him.

The girl had a youthful, doll-like face with a soft and cute vibe, yet her figure was exceptionally good—a classic 'slender branch bearing heavy fruit' type.

Her long hair was tied into a neat ponytail that swayed behind her head, looking very lively.

Her upper body wore a women's short T-shirt that exposed her navel, printed with a cute cartoon rabbit. The rabbit was stretched taut, turning into a little chubby rabbit.

Her lower body was clad in clean, neat, slim-fit jeans.

As she stood on tiptoe and waved,

the girl's T-shirt rode up,

not only revealing her entire navel and her fair abdomen outlined with the curves of her abs,

but also...

faintly revealing a hint of the 'southern hemisphere's' curved silhouette.

"Oh? Honglian?"

Qin Feng recognized her as one of the proprietresses of the "Qiangwei Honglian Modification Shop" and their main modification technician.

If not for this girl,

his "crimson magic dragon" would never have been born.

Walking over,

Qin Feng greeted her with a smile:

"Morning."

"Mor... Morning, Brother Qin."

Seeing Qin Feng walk over, Honglian, who had been excited and surprised, suddenly became a bit shy.

Her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue.

The index fingers of her left and right hands circled each other nervously:

"Brother Qin, what... what a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Yes, quite a coincidence."

The words fell,

followed by a moment of silence.

The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward.

Without the cheerful and trendy Qiangwei by her side, Honglian was purely like a little ball of cotton.

Once the initial excitement passed, her main traits were being soft, cute, shy, introverted, and not very good with words.

Qin Feng was an anatomist.

He was meticulous.

He noticed Honglian's slight unease.

He smiled and said:

"Honglian, I'll be coming to the Ruin Market quite often in the future. I'll stop by and leave my car at your and Qiangwei's modification shop for maintenance while I'm at it. I wonder what your maintenance prices are?"

"Ah? Maintenance?"

Honglian was startled.

Then, as if she had thought of something,

she immediately waved her hand grandly and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Qin! Any car bought from our Qiangwei Honglian Modification Shop comes with free lifetime maintenance!"

After saying that,

she even mimicked the trendy Qiangwei by slightly lifting her chin, showing a proud expression, as if she were about to say in the next moment:

"When it comes to after-sales service, if our Qiangwei Honglian Modification Shop claims to be second in the entire Ruin Market, absolutely no one would dare claim to be first!"

"Er..."

Hearing this,

Qin Feng couldn't help but be caught between laughter and tears.

This girl, he had to say, was truly honest...

In fact, the reason he did this

wasn't because he actually wanted car maintenance.

After all, he had just bought it not long ago.

Ever since he discovered that unknown Dragon-type Behemoth heart in the Qiangwei Honglian Modification Shop, Qin Feng had been wanting to inquire about its origin.

Since there was a heart...

did that mean...

there were other limbs, organs, or bones of Dragon-type Behemoths left in the Lower City, being treated as ordinary flesh by others?

Every part of a Dragon-type Behemoth

was a treasure.

If he had the chance to pick up more bargains, it would definitely be of great benefit.

When he bought the car earlier, he was in a rush and didn't want to ask too eagerly about the source, lest it arouse suspicion.

Now that they had met by chance,

and it was the relatively soft and honest Honglian,

Qin Feng felt this was a good opportunity to ask.

His eyes flickered as he considered his words, and the smile on his face became even more genial.

He said to Honglian:

"Oh, by the way, Honglian, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Brother Qin, go ahead. I, Honglian, will definitely tell you everything I know!"

Honglian patted her chest heroically,

bouncing slightly as she spoke.
