Chapter Fifteen: The Maiden’s Body, Buying a Car.
“Hello, same-city express delivery, your package has arrived.”
Su Cheng opened the door and took the large box from the courier riding a unicycle motorcycle.
Back inside, he opened the box to find 200 bottles of low-quality nutrient solution neatly arranged.
This was an unexpected gain.
As for Kang Ba’s fate, he didn’t care; Zhang Jie would surely handle it.
Activating the Dimension’s Eye, he combined and upgraded all two hundred bottles of the inferior nutrient solution.
In total, he obtained six bottles of Type-D enhancement serum and one bottle of advanced nutrient solution.
He drank all the enhancement serums.
With each bottle, he could distinctly feel his strength increasing!
The energy within his muscles surged continuously!
Su Cheng grabbed a roughly 10-millimeter-thick, slightly rusted steel rebar and gripped it tightly with both hands.
Gradually, the rust flakes shattered, and the steel bar bent little by little!
His muscles tightened, like thick, powerful steel cables!
In the end, he effortlessly bent the rebar to a 90-degree angle!
“Wow, man, you’re like a human beast—bending steel bars barehanded? That’s impressive.”
Mindless stood beside him, eyes gleaming, “The data has exceeded my scanning limit!”
Su Cheng tossed the rebar aside. He had only undergone seven rounds of enhancement and already achieved this level of strength!
His physical power was now almost on par with D-grade mechanical prosthetics!
And he was a pureborn human!
His path of enhancement had only just begun!
Su Cheng took out a raincoat from his electric scooter, intending to wear it, but felt it was inappropriate.
He needed a specialized hunter’s outfit that could completely conceal his identity.
He found a black hooded trench coat in his wardrobe, patched in several places.
Though a bit worn, it fit perfectly.
He also found a black jacket.
Then he modified a metallic air-filter mask into a face mask.
He darkened the color, added one-way lenses.
Wearing the advanced protective suit, the jacket, hood, and mask, he looked like a shadow.
“Damn, you’re going full stealth mode—standing in the shadows, nobody would spot you. Like a whole new person!”
Mindless sized him up from head to toe.
Su Cheng gave him a sharp look. When he helped him synthesize upgrades next time, he would definitely reset his language module.
And fix that maddening Guangxi accent.
He glanced at the electric scooter. It could serve for daily use, but not for hunting Plunderers—too easy to be recognized.
“I’m heading out for a bit.”
“Go ahead, go ahead. You never work anymore; leaving me alone at home’s a disgrace! Let me have a big drink!”
Exiting through the back door and circling around an empty alley, Su Cheng headed straight for the Wasteland.
---
While walking, he pulled out his Hunter’s card.
Opening the bounty list, he looked for a suitable mission.
He only checked bounties that rewarded nutrient solutions or prosthetics.
The quality of the reward didn’t matter; he could use them all!
“A girl’s body parts?”
Su Cheng curiously opened the bounty.
‘Bounty: Healthy pureborn human body parts (limbs, eyes) from girls under 18 years old.
The younger the subject, the higher the reward. Tasks can be combined.
Rewards: Alliance credits, nutrient solutions, prosthetics.
Direct contact with the client.’
A pureborn body bounty!
Hunters, unlike Plunderers, couldn’t just dismember anyone on the street.
They had to acquire parts through legitimate means, meaning the subject’s consent was required.
Combined tasks meant several people could piece together the required items.
The client didn’t care if the parts came from different individuals, as long as they were from girls.
Zhu Shan’er’s replaced hands and eyes perfectly fit the criteria—much better than recycling them at the junkyard.
And the rewards were exactly what he needed!
He used the Hunter’s card to contact the client.
“Hunter?”
The call connected to a man with a gold-studded chin, a gold ring, wearing a mink coat, and even a diamond-studded prosthetic eye.
A fierce scar marked his face as he leisurely sipped red wine in a private room, watching a fight match, his tone casual and relaxed.
Su Cheng replied calmly, “I have the hands and eyes of a 15-year-old girl.”
“Fifteen? Not bad.”
The tycoon smiled, “Meet me in front of the Cadell Hotel in the Inner City in one hour. Don’t be late.”
He hung up immediately.
Cadell Hotel.
Su Cheng looked up toward the Inner City, spotting a skyscraper projecting a dancing beauty—Cadell Hotel.
One of the most luxurious hotels in the Wasteland!
He glanced again at the bounty list, noticing that aside from hunting Plunderers, there were various other bounties.
Soon, he arrived at the Wasteland.
Pocketing the Hunter’s card, Su Cheng entered a motorcycle shop.
“Welcome, uh… what do you need?”
The owner frowned upon seeing Su Cheng’s patched clothes, his tone somewhat dismissive.
“A bike.”
Su Cheng walked toward the rows of motorcycles.
“That’s a motorcycle, quite expensive, though from the old century.”
The owner forced a smile, “We also have electric scooters, cheaper.”
He didn’t believe someone in patched clothes could afford a motorcycle.
If not for his professionalism, he would have kicked him out.
Su Cheng ignored him and went straight to a Kawasaki H2R.
“That’s a famous old-century Kawasaki superbike, the fastest in straight-line acceleration, and the priciest!”
The owner sighed, “Though its condition is average, we’ve upgraded it; the engine is like new, even better than brand new. It’s faster. We also have electric scooters, cheaper.”
Su Cheng waved him off. “This one. How much?”
The owner rolled his eyes, annoyed, “800 Alliance credits, no bargaining. If you can’t pay, leave quickly. Don’t waste my time.”
That price was steep—enough to buy a set of mechanical prosthetics!
“Transferred.”
Su Cheng instantly transferred the money to the shop’s public account, mounted the bike: “Authorization.”
“What!”
The owner was stunned by the transaction in his mind, quickly recovering with a smile, “Alright, boss, you have great taste. This Black Samurai paint job matches your outfit perfectly—just perfect!”
He hurried over to grant Su Cheng exclusive usage rights.
“The energy system has been modified. One low-grade energy cell can power it for 400 kilometers!”
Su Cheng started the bike, twisted the throttle.
Instantly, the 998cc four-cylinder engine roared deeply as the motorcycle rolled out of the shop.
“Take care, come back for another bike next time.”
The owner accompanied him to the door, bowing slightly, warmly seeing him off.
“Hey, bought a bike? Hope you paid the road tax.”
Suddenly, someone blocked the motorcycle’s path.
Another man came to Su Cheng’s right, brandishing a dagger, “Pay up, 100 Alliance credits, or don’t blame us for being rude!”
The shop owner, seeing this, hurried back inside and leisurely watched the scene unfold, “Rob him! Take his bike too, so he’ll come back for another!”
“Damn it, I told you to…”
Before the man finished speaking, Su Cheng grabbed his collar in an instant. His muscles tensed explosively, unleashing immense strength.
He lifted the man and slammed him into the shop.
The entire movement was fluid and forceful!
‘Bang!’
The man shattered the glass and crashed onto two well-maintained motorcycles.
His half-mechanical body crushed the fronts of both bikes completely!
“Shit! My bikes!”
The owner howled in despair.
But the next moment, another figure crashed heavily into a row of bikes.
Each bike suffered severe damage!
“Fuck!”
The owner ran out, cursing at the already departing Su Cheng, “You did this on purpose, didn’t you? Damn it, my bikes! Pay me back!”
