Chapter 203: 202: This Is Our Technology—Do You Have This?
"Master, master!"
After returning to the spaceship, Wang Wu immediately found Yin Shenli, and when he pushed open the door, he happened to see Yin Shenli taking photos of her own feet.
She occasionally also sends Wang Wu some photos; although she doesn't have the habit of selfies, she sometimes sends him photos, mainly her artistic shots.
"What are you doing?"
After taking a few photos, Yin Shenli turned her head toward Wang Wu, and then saw the two female demons that Wang Wu was holding in his hand.
"Master, can you save them?"
"Save? Can't you save them yourself? Why call on me?" Yin Shenli looked at the two tattered ones, one with only a head left, the other a bit better, with a torso longer than hers.
"But for me that would take a long time, right? Then there wouldn't be time…"
"Fine, fine…" Yin Shenli waved her hand impatiently, then stepped down from the bed.
"Let's go." She walked to Wang Wu's front and gave his shoulder a pat.
"Where are we going?" Wang Wu was startled.
"You say where to go—go to the infirmary? If there's no infirmary, find an empty room." Yin Shenli rolled her eyes, then shoved past Wang Wu and left the room.
Wang Wu immediately followed his master, and the two quickly arrived at a room in the spaceship that didn't contain much.
"Here then." After gauging the room's size, Yin Shenli nodded, then pulled a small box from her pocket, opened it, and took out two capsules, tossing them onto the floor.
Bang! Bang!
Accompanied by two plumes of smoke and two explosions, when the smoke cleared, two devices resembling virtual‑reality pods appeared in the room.
"This… this is…"
"Is this the Immortal Spring Model 8?" Wang Wu was shocked when he saw what his master had taken out.
"This thing must be expensive, right?"
"Obvious." Yin Shenli answered while giving Wang Wu a look; after a moment of confusion, Wang Wu realized and then walked forward to open the treatment chamber's door, throwing the two female demons inside respectively.
The Immortal Spring Model 8 treatment chamber is extremely pricey; Wang Wu remembered it was the latest model of the Immortal Spring series released last year or this year.
It is produced by Cloud Light City Immortal Medicine Medical Technology Co., Ltd., priced at eight million Yun Guang Coins per unit—yes, eight million.
Cloud Light City has many cheap items, but that doesn't mean the city lacks expensive stuff.
If you want to spend, even a hundred million Yun Guang Coins can be exhausted within a few days.
Spending money has no real limit.
The Immortal Medicine Medical Technology Co., Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Yinji Divine Sect Medical Group, under the Yinji Divine Sect.
Wang Wu knows his master is wealthy; although she usually likes to snag small deals, she indeed has deep pockets.
Liking to snag small deals has nothing to do with having money; after all, a certain world‑first assassin is also rich, but his penchant for cheap steals probably surpasses that of Yin Shenli, Wang Wu, and Qin Xiang combined.
Qin Xiang, though fond of cheap deals, still maintains a certain dignity and wouldn't cross any line for money.
Yin Shenli, on the other hand, keeps even more dignity; although she once role‑played a bitter‑poor female assassin forced by money, that doesn't matter.
That was just role‑play, not reality.
The previous generation of Immortal Spring treatment chambers sold in Cloud Light City cost five million Yun Guang Coins, while the newest generation's official guide price is only 5.25 million.
But because this chamber just came out, the market price is a bit inflated.
Of course, civilian purchase price differs from official procurement price, and there are internal prices as well; they aren't the same.
Although the Cloud Light City government doesn't procure such items from the Yinji Medical Group, governmental equipment is basically designed and developed by city factories.
Wang Wu's hometown has a state‑owned enterprise, while in Yin Shenli's Cloud Light City there is a famous "city enterprise" comparable to the hometown's state‑owned firm.
However, unlike the hometown's state system, the city enterprise belongs to the whole populace… uh, digressing.
"Master, you're so generous to use such a fine treatment chamber."
After tossing the two female demons into the chambers, Wang Wu looked at his master with some emotion and said.
Yin Shenli didn't react much, but Wang Wu smiled and then gave her a hug.
At this moment, Long Qing, Long He, and Chi Zhi—three demons—also arrived in the room, and upon entering they saw the banter between Wang Wu and Yin Shenli.
It was clear the two held completely opposite views on some matters, making the argument extremely heated.
The intensity made the three demons feel a bit dizzy, and not only them—the two demons lying in the chambers also seemed unsettled.
Even though many of their organs were gone, their brains were still intact. Demons are like that; even with only a head, they can still imagine all sorts of things.
In short, after ten minutes Wang Wu finally ended the quarrel with Yin Shenli, seeing her still flushed with anger, he ultimately chose to show weakness.
"Um, Wang Wu, Yin Star Lord, what are these two devices…?"
"Treatment chambers," Wang Wu answered on behalf of his master to Long Qing's question. "They're products from our hometown, used for healing injuries. They're high‑grade chambers; they won't take long before these two demons recover."
"Approximately how long?" After explaining to the three demons, Wang Wu asked Yin Shenli, but she hadn't recovered yet, seeming still angry.
After about twenty seconds of Wang Wu calling her several times, she finally reacted:
"Ah? Oh, you mean the treatment chambers?" She glanced back at the Immortal Spring Model 8 Treatment Chamber. "Given their condition, it'll take roughly five days to recover. The healing fluid and repair substrate I poured in aren't the top‑tier, so the repair speed won't be that fast."
"Moreover, they're an alien species; the computer's analysis of their bodies also needs time—about ten hours to generate a repair plan, then treatment can begin."
"That fast?" Wang Wu was startled, and according to his master, this wasn't even the best fluid and substrate.
He knows what it is; although he hasn't used it personally, he's used it in a game.
In a game he often plays, when injured he would lie inside it, and the effect was indeed impressive— even severe injuries would be about seventy‑plus percent recovered after a week.
According to online sources, the prototype of that chamber is the Immortal Spring Model 6 Treatment Chamber produced by Cloud Light City Immortal Medicine Medical Group, a very old model from about fifty years ago.
Treatment chambers don't get upgraded quickly; the previous generation Model 7 was released back in the 1980s.
One must admit, the master's Earth is indeed abstract; although they use the same AD calendar as his hometown, the aesthetic of a century there differs completely from that of his hometown's century.
"You just rest inside and heal." After a brief marvel at his master's Earth technology, Wang Wu walked to the two chambers, looked at the two female demons, and said with a smile.
"Rest and heal; once you're recovered I'll send you back."
"Speaking of that," Wang Wu turned to the three demons, "do you know whether these two are from the Jie Kingdom or the Feng Kingdom?"
"It should be the demon race of the Jie Kingdom," Long He replied first. She walked to the treatment pod and glanced at the demon head inside.
At this moment, the female demon, now only a demon head, had already closed her eyes inside the treatment pod. After staring at her for a while, Long He turned and looked toward Wu Yun:
"That's right; it must be the demon race of the Jie Kingdom."
"Are you so sure?" Wang Wu was a bit surprised, then also glanced at the female demon, but he could not see any difference between her and Long He's group.
"Wang Wu, junior, you might not notice," Long Qing, the older sister, said with a smile. "But the demon races of our two nations differ greatly; although they look identical outwardly, we can usually tell at a glance."
"Is that so?" Wang Wu nodded. "What about the two captives? Where did you lock them up?"
"Right next door," Chai Zhi said. "Wang Wu, do you want to go take a look?"
"Let's go," Wang Wu replied.
Jade tray, confinement chamber.
The Long sisters are bounty hunters of demons, so the ship naturally has rooms for imprisoning criminals, and they are right beside this temporary medical room.
In fact, the ship does have a dedicated medical room, but Wang Wu didn't know, and that no longer matters.
"Tell me, which families do you two come from?"
Before entering, the four demons consulted, and finally agreed that Long Qing would conduct the interrogation, after all she was the "most experienced."
Although her "experience" only meant she had witnessed other demons being interrogated; she herself had never done it.
Long Qing sat on a chair outside the cell, watching the two inside sitting cross‑legged on the ground, eyes tightly closed, like an old monk in meditation, and asked.
Next to him, Wang Wu was helping Long He examine the soles of her feet, because she said they were itchy and she didn't know why, so she asked Wang Wu to check.
Inspection, listening, questioning, pulse‑taking, and tongue… uh, no tongue; the two demons aren't at that stage yet.
These three female demons are all pure‑hearted; they have never encountered the opposite sex, so Wang Wu naturally wouldn't do anything improper to them.
Therefore, the examination he performed on Long He was entirely proper, with nothing untoward.
But that made him feel very uncomfortable; however, he wasn't the only one—Long He was also extremely restless and uneasy at this moment.
"Wh‑why does he not treat me like he did his master? Clearly I also, I…"
Uh, that's irrelevant; let's just watch the interrogation ahead.
"I am Yuan Xiangzi, from the Heavenly Joy Sect; this one is Tian Guangzi, my junior brother. The cultivator you killed earlier was Hu Qingzi, who is the lead real person of our party this time."
"Lead real person?" At that moment, Wang Wu, who was checking Long He's feet, heard the woman's words and instantly looked up toward her.
He was quite familiar with the title "lead real person," because the first time he met Zhao Xingyue, she had gone to the edge of Si Hun Shan under the guidance of their sect's lead real person.
Then a true‑realm great demon blasted her; she was gravely injured and near death, but fortunately she encountered Wang Wu, who later rescued her.
"Do they also call cultivators 'real persons' here?" Wang Wu didn't say the words aloud; he merely looked at her with interest. Of course he was looking, but his hands weren't idle—since the examination revealed nothing, he decided to give her a brief massage.
Undoubtedly, this made Long He even more uncomfortable and uneasy.
Although she is a pure‑hearted demon, she can't endure this sort of thing; a demon's purity isn't the same as a human's.
"Heavenly Joy Sect?" The name left Long Qing a bit bewildered; she didn't look at what was happening nearby. Though her divine sense could sweep it, she forced herself not to pay attention.
Even though her toes had already worn a three‑room, one‑hall hole in her shoes.
As for Chai Zhi, needn't say more; Chai Zhi was also undergoing Wang Wu's examination at this moment.
Yuan Xiangzi could of course see what the lead real person outside the cell—who had defeated her during this outing and captured her—was doing with the demon, but her mind remained calm; after all, she had seen such things countless times.
Although relations between humans and demons are poor in this star system, many demons can still be seen in human society, existing as slaves.
After all, demons make excellent slaves: sturdy, durable, long‑lived, no pregnancy concerns, high looks, perfect figures.
If raised from childhood, their loyalty is guaranteed, and with techniques that let demons cultivate while being controlled, their usefulness is maximized.
Yuan Xiangzi's household already has several demon slaves, both males and females.
After all, cultivators don't need to be pure and ascetic; sometimes they need a little something.
When demons don't intend to kill you but to trade you for profit, they aren't as dangerous to human cultivators.
Since they aim for profit, their safety is naturally ensured. Moreover, some cultivators can even have something happen with the demons who captured them.
Although demons are generally casual about such matters and don't particularly enjoy doing this with humans, it's not racial discrimination—just not enjoyable enough.
But with a bit of profit, they are willing to compromise themselves.
After all, doing this won't lose any meat.
Of course, for a female cultivator of Yuan Xiangzi's appearance, sometimes demons will even take the initiative or force it.
Regarding this, Yuan Xiangzi has already prepared; she is rather indifferent, since she doesn't lose anything.
