The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 59: Cultivating the Corpse King! (Two-in-One)

Chen Mo glanced at the prices in the mall.

This flashy thing is quite cheap, only 100 survival points, so there's no pressure to exchange for it.

But before exchanging, he asked the system, "By the way, this Shape-Shifting Ball of yours can't be detected by various Earthly inspection devices, right?"

[System prompt: Please rest assured, the operating principle of the Shape-Shifting Ball is similar to the Shadow Step skill you possess, and it cannot be detected by technological abilities. However, if the other party possesses an insight-type Exotic Ability, they can see through the disguise of your Shape-Shifting Ball.]

"I see, then I can exchange for it with peace of mind. With this thing, can I transform into any appearance even if I don't wear clothes when going out?"

[System prompt: Absolutely.]

"Why do I feel like you're still a little excited?" Chen Mo felt that the system's confirmation was already enough, but this sentence seemed to express even more certainty.

After confirming that the effect of the Shape-Shifting Ball cannot be detected by technology, Chen Mo directly exchanged for one.

"System, can I instantly put on this combat suit?"

[System prompt: Yes, the host can instantly put on and take off the combat suit with one click, but the premise is that the host is not wearing other clothes.]

"That's really convenient. I can really go out naked on a regular basis. I just need to put on the combat suit with one click, and I don't need to wear anything else."

Chen Mo decided that from today onwards, he would go out wearing only a combat suit, and use the Shape-Shifting Ball to change his appearance.

While Chen Mo was fiddling with the rewards, Du Zixi was chatting with him casually.

During the chat, Du Zixi found that although Chen Mo had a reputation, he didn't have any airs. He was as easy-going as an ordinary boy of the same age when talking, which made Du Zixi's somewhat awe of Chen Mo loosen a bit.

After all, Chen Mo's abilities were there, and she was afraid of offending or neglecting him with any wrong words or actions.

But seeing how easy it was to get along with Chen Mo, her mood relaxed a lot.

The conversation became more relaxed and enjoyable.

During the conversation, Chen Mo learned that Du Zixi was the same age as him and was a sophomore at the Magic City University, majoring in management.

Chen Mo also understood the usefulness of her major.

After all, the Qing Gang was so big, it was useful to learn some management.

Although Du Zixi didn't have the intention of inheriting the family business, she considered that there might be something in the future that she would need to help with, so she chose this profession as a preparation in advance.

When she learned that Chen Mo was studying finance, Du Zixi was quite surprised.

She thought that someone like Chen Mo, a divine doctor, would be more interested in medicine or scientific research.

She didn't expect him to want to get into the finance industry?

Du Zixi was surprised and said, "With your medical skills, you shouldn't have to worry about income in the future. Why are you thinking about finance?"

"It's not difficult to make money by treating people, but if you want to become the richest person, it may not be easy. If you understand finance and its intricacies, you might become the richest person in the world in the future." Chen Mo joked.

The end of the world is coming in half a year, so it doesn't matter what you study now. Why care about what to study?

"I didn't expect you to have such big ambitions. If you encounter any troubles when you start, you can come to us. We will definitely help you."

"Definitely."

After chatting for a while, the car had already arrived at the Du family's residence.

"This is the residential area of my Du family."

"All of this is yours?" Chen Mo glanced at the neighborhood, which consisted of at least a dozen luxury villas.

"Yes, we have taken over this area. These houses all belong to our family. My father lives in the central villa, and the houses of the five of us children surround him. The outer houses are for entertaining guests."

"Impressive, Du family. To think that you have prepared so many villas just for entertaining guests."

"You flatter us. Please come this way."

After parking the car, Du Zixi immediately led Chen Mo inside.

As soon as they got out of the car, Chen Mo noticed that there were many security forces patrolling within the Du family's territory.

But these were only the visible ones; there were also hidden security forces.

Feeling the dual defense of the Du family, both visible and hidden, Chen Mo couldn't help but admire the defensive mindset of these big shots.

Even if one could avoid the visible security forces, it would not be easy to bypass the hidden ones.

Unless they all had the same keen perception as Chen Mo.

Not paying attention to the defensive formation of the Du family, Chen Mo followed behind Du Zixi and walked straight towards the large villa in the center.

The exterior of the villa was luxurious and grand, clearly extraordinary at first glance.

The walls of the villa were made of precious stones, meticulously carved and smooth as a mirror.

The roof was covered with glazed tiles, shimmering with enchanting brilliance in the sunlight.

On both sides of the entrance stood two huge white jade statues, majestic and noble.

The eaves of the porch were raised high, resembling a soaring eagle, symbolizing the glory and bright future of the family.

Upon entering the villa, the first thing Chen Mo saw was a huge crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the hall. The chandelier was embedded with thousands of rare gemstones, dazzling and magnificent.

The walls were bordered with mahogany, and the carpet was made of the finest wool, soft and fluffy, as if walking on clouds.

The villa also had several spacious and bright rooms, each decorated splendidly.

Through the large French windows, one could enjoy the beautiful garden and the picturesque lake and mountains in the distance.

This villa not only showcased the wealth and status of the Du family but also highlighted the taste and pursuit of the owner.

Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh, this was the true life of an aristocratic family.

Following Du Zixi, Chen Mo was soon led to a relatively plain room compared to the others.

Unexpectedly, this simplest room turned out to be Du Ren's residence.

"This is my father's room. Please come in, Dr. Chen." Du Zixi bowed to Chen Mo.

Although they had chatted as equals on the way, in front of her father and older brother, Du Zixi still showed great respect towards Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded and entered the room.

As soon as Chen Mo saw Du Zihang, he immediately stood up with a smile and walked over to greet him, saying, "Dr. Chen, I haven't had a chance to offer you a cup of tea since you just arrived. Xiaoxi, go and pour Dr. Chen a cup of tea."

"No need, let's focus on the treatment first. I haven't had my meal yet, so I don't need to drink tea. After the treatment, you can treat me to a meal," Chen Mo smiled.

Upon hearing Chen Mo's playful words, the three of them immediately showed relaxed smiles.

They also realized that Chen Mo was not arrogant and was easy to communicate with.

"That's for sure. Whatever you want to eat later, just let us know. My father's illness has really troubled you," Du Zihang stepped aside and invited Chen Mo into the house.

Chen Mo glanced at Du Renyuan's condition and saw that it was indeed severe, indicating that he didn't have much time left.

But he didn't expect him to live for another half a year.

No, he should say that he lived for a year.

Of course, Chen Mo speculated that the reason he could live for a year was probably related to the arrival of the apocalypse six months later, or maybe he had early contact with some mysterious biotechnology that produced a mysterious biochemical drug. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to live until a year after the apocalypse.

At this time, the mark on Du Renyuan's head indicated that he was a Rank Nine Corpse King.

If it was just any other Rank Nine unit, it could be attributed to luck or other reasons. But Chen Mo felt that Du Renyuan becoming a Rank Nine Corpse King might have something to do with the several children of the Du family. If they intentionally fed Du Renyuan, it was possible for him to become a Rank Nine Corpse King.

Although the siblings of the Du family were all adopted, their filial piety was well known.

Many people thought they were just acting, but only they themselves knew how good Du Renyuan was to them. They were all sincerely filial.

If that was the case, when they saw their father's transformation after the apocalypse, they would probably be even more motivated to protect him.

At the same time, Chen Mo suddenly thought of Wei Changfeng.

His body seemed to be stronger than Du Renyuan's, but he died before the apocalypse started, which was a bit strange. Could it be that he died directly from taking the biochemical drugs of the mysterious biotech company?

After saving him and correcting the timeline, Wei Changfeng became a Rank Nine Corpse King.

Their positions and ranks in their respective domains were similar, and the mutations they underwent were also the same.

Chen Mo always felt that these two becoming Rank Nine Corpse Kings were completely different concepts from Lin Xinru becoming a Rank Nine Corpse King.

Wei Changfeng and Du Renyuan were more likely to be artificially cultivated Rank Nine Corpse Kings.

Lin Xinru, on the other hand, was a Rank Nine Corpse King that evolved purely by luck.

Seeing that Du Renyuan was a Rank Nine Corpse King, Chen Mo felt a bit regretful. After all, according to the system evaluation, Corpse Kings didn't have emotional receptors, so it would be futile no matter how good he treated them. It would be difficult to earn any good rewards by improving their favorability.

However, treating a Rank Nine Corpse King could still be considered a means to obtain rewards.

Chen Mo looked at Du Renyuan, who was contemplating his Rank Nine Corpse King title. But in the eyes of Du Renyuan, Du Zihang, and Du Zixi, Chen Mo was currently in the stage of observing, smelling, asking, and cutting, the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Dr. Chen, how is it? Any difficulties?" Du Zihang became a little anxious when he saw Chen Mo looking at Du Renyuan without saying anything, so he asked.

Chen Mo snapped back to reality and smiled, "No, there's no problem. I can treat him."

As soon as Chen Mo said this, the three people in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

This was exactly what they wanted to hear from Chen Mo.

"It's great that you can treat him. If there's anything we need to prepare or cooperate with, just let us know," Du Zihang said excitedly.

"No need, I have already prepared it myself. You just need to bring the alcohol over for disinfection."

Upon hearing this, Du Zixi immediately ran to find the medicine box and took out the alcohol to hand it to Chen Mo.

Originally, Du Renyuan, Du Zihang, and Du Zixi were curious about how Chen Mo would treat the situation. However, they were surprised to see Chen Mo take out an acupuncture kit and remove a thin needle from it. After disinfecting it with alcohol, he said, "I will activate the self-repair ability of your cells with the power of the Taiyi Divine Needle, assisting in your recovery. During the process, you just need to relax."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Du Renyuan, Du Zihang, and Du Zixi were all shocked.

They had heard of Chen Mo's miraculous medical treatments, but they had never been informed of the complete treatment process. This was because when Chen Mo treated the Liu family for the first time, he did so behind closed doors. The second time at the Wei family, only Ling Feng and Wang Juan witnessed it. Despite being forbidden by Wei Changfeng from casually spreading the information, they kept their mouths shut.

If Wei Changfeng hadn't appeared the next day in perfect health, no one would have known that it was Chen Mo who had treated him.

So everyone only knew that Chen Mo possessed extremely strong medical skills, and the people he cured not only got rid of their old illnesses but also immediately regained their vitality. This was what made people marvel.

Therefore, everyone had always been curious about how he did it.

Even the mysterious biotechnology company could only speculate whether Chen Mo used some kind of secret medicine to achieve such results.

No one could have imagined that Chen Mo only relied on an acupuncture kit to accomplish the most difficult and unimaginable treatment.

Under the astonished gaze of the three, Chen Mo disinfected a silver needle and then pierced it into Du Renyuan.

After inserting seven needles into his scalp and chest, Chen Mo reached out to Du Renyuan's heart and said, "With my technique, the effects of the Taiyi Divine Needle will be fully activated. Your body's cells will be directly stimulated, and you will be healed at the fastest speed. Are you ready?"

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, he simultaneously activated the Healing Light and Divine Purification skills.

With the activation of the skills, Chen Mo's spiritual power poured out of his body like encountering a black hole.

Du Renyuan's condition was no different from Liu Yuanzong's, both suffering from a terminal illness.

To cure him, even with Chen Mo's full 5 points of spiritual power, it still required a significant depletion of his spiritual energy.

With the massive loss of spiritual power, his spirit visibly became listless.

This change was extremely apparent.

Just a moment ago, Chen Mo was full of energy and vitality, but in a short instant, he lost his vigor. Du Zihang, Du Zixi, and Du Renyuan could all immediately see the difference in his state.

"Dr. Chen, are you okay? Please don't force yourself," Du Renyuan said anxiously.

Chen Mo hadn't even cured him yet and had already exhausted himself.

Du Zihang and Du Zixi also looked at Chen Mo with concern. He was a good doctor who was easy to communicate and get along with, and he was the guarantee of the family members' health. They didn't want anything to happen to Chen Mo.

"I'm fine. Mr. Du's condition is very severe, and treating him has depleted my vitality a bit. I just need to rest for a moment," Chen Mo reassured. "Zixi, please remove the needles for your father. His illness has already been cured. I'll close my eyes and rest for a minute."

After speaking to Du Zixi, Chen Mo closed his eyes and actually activated the Ultra Speed Recovery skill to quickly restore his spiritual power.
