143: Chapter 143 Golden Eyes

Chen Hao was sent to the hospital, and with the help of the doctors, his eyes were cleaned.

During this time, Shayiva anxiously guarded the door, while Pang Dahai stood aside offering comfort.

"It's fine, don't worry, his eyes won't go blind. As for you, living in a house with excessive formaldehyde for so long, perhaps you should get a full-body checkup."

This reminded Shayiva. She had been feeling unwell lately, previously attributing it to declining physical function, but now it seemed there might be another reason.

"I'll get checked. It's better to be safe than sorry."

So, Shayiva also underwent a full-body examination at the hospital.

After receiving professional treatment from the doctor, the burning sensation in his eyeballs gradually subsided. When Chen Hao opened his eyes, his vision slowly returned to clarity.

However, the clarity in his field of vision was almost excessive, and there was even a pleasant surprise.

Before Chen Hao was a female doctor wearing a mask. He could clearly see her pores, and even the fibers on the mask were distinctly visible.

The female doctor flashed a light into Chen Hao's eyes. Stimulated by the strong light, his vision blurred for a moment. Chen Hao surprisingly discovered that as his pupils contracted, the female doctor's mask became translucent.

The contours, lips, and nose hidden beneath the mask faintly emerged.

Chen Hao subconsciously rubbed his eyes. Looking at the female doctor's face again, he confirmed he hadn't been mistaken; he could clearly see the freckles on her face hidden under the mask.

"Don't rub your eyes with your hands; there are bacteria. Too much force could also cause retinal detachment."

The female doctor had Chen Hao lie down again and rinsed his eyeballs with medical saline solution while speaking.

"There was a foreign object in your eyes. This might cause decreased vision in the next few days, and in severe cases, you might experience discomfort."

"Mm."

Chen Hao muttered inwardly. If he hadn't coincidentally obtained the Golden Eyes, his vision might indeed have been affected. Now, it could be considered a blessing in disguise.

He decided to take this opportunity to test the function of the Golden Eyes.

During the rinsing process, Chen Hao glanced around again, his sight gradually shifting from the doctor's face to her body.

The white coat was intermittently solid and transparent, vaguely revealing the white shirt underneath. With a slight exertion, letting his Qi circulate over his eyeballs, he surprisingly found that the penetrating power of the Golden Eyes became stronger. He could not only see what was under her clothes but even clearly see the blood vessels and bones beneath her skin.

"Is it that magical?"

Just as Chen Hao was feeling curious, the female doctor showed a puzzled expression.

"Strange."

Her murmuring attracted Chen Hao's curiosity.

"What's wrong, Doctor?"

While cleaning seriously, the doctor kept a close watch on Chen Hao's pupils.

"The pupil part of your eyeball occasionally turns golden. I have never encountered this situation before. Tell me, has your vision been affected, or have you experienced any color difference?"

"I don't think so, I feel..."

Chen Hao felt awkward saying more, but when he looked elsewhere, he accidentally noticed that his vision had indeed changed somewhat.

For instance, looking at the hospital lights, under the saline rinse, Chen Hao found the halo of the shadowless lamp was brilliantly colorful. Furthermore, he could perceive subtle color differences that were usually hard to detect.

A thought suddenly struck him: Had he turned misfortune into fortune and unexpectedly gained tetrachromacy?

No, this wasn't caused by an accident; it was a mutation resulting from the rare reward, the Golden Eyes.

The female doctor used an instrument to fully record the changes in Chen Hao's eyeballs, even taking pictures. Afterward, she conducted a vision test on Chen Hao and finally reached a conclusion.

"Although your vision hasn't been significantly affected, the foreign object caused a mutation in your pupils. In professional terms, you now have heterochromia. Don't worry, it shouldn't affect your vision."

Chen Hao took the diagnosis, and with his eye changes reasonably explained, he felt relieved.

However, when Chen Hao looked in the mirror, he discovered he had turned into a giant panda.

To put it mildly, because his eyes were attacked by chili water, after emergency treatment, his whites were covered in red blood vessels, the area around his eyes was completely red and swollen, making him look as if he had cried for three days and three nights.

Chen Hao leaned close to the mirror and stared intently at his pupils, discovering that his originally pure black pupils actually revealed deep, subtle threads of gold.

They looked somewhat like Golden Silk Nanmu—very mysterious and quite beautiful.

But unless one observed his pupils closely, ordinary people wouldn't notice this change in Chen Hao.

The female doctor wrote a prescription and handed it to Chen Hao.

"Remember, do not rub your eyes with your hands. Use the eye drops three times a day, and persist for at least a month."

"Thank you, Doctor."

After thanking her, Chen Hao left the ophthalmology department. Just outside the door, he saw Pang Dahai yawning.

"Oh my god, why do you look like a giant panda?"

Pang Dahai teased, holding up two fingers.

"How many is this?"

Chen Hao impatiently pushed Pang Dahai's hand away.

"I'm not blind. Where is Shayiva, that silly Foreign Girl? Did she run off?"

Pang Dahai explained.

"No, since we were already at the hospital, I had her go for a full-body checkup. After all, living in a formaldehyde-filled house for so long, it would be strange if there were no effects."

Chen Hao didn't dwell on it. He went with Pang Dahai to the physical examination department to find Shayiva. On the way, Chen Hao found everything novel.

Evolving from ordinary trichromatic vision to tetrachromatic vision, the colorful world felt like entering a magical garden, giving Chen Hao a different kind of experience.

What surprised Chen Hao even more was that as long as he channeled Qi to his eyes, he could achieve X-ray vision, seeing through fabric and even penetrating walls and stones with ease.

However, if the Golden Eyes were used for more than five minutes, his eyeballs became extremely sore, requiring eye drops to relieve the fatigue.

On the corridor bench.

A Nurse hurried past. Chen Hao watched the Nurse leave. Although her looks were average, the scenery beneath the Nurse uniform was endlessly captivating.

After applying eye drops again and tilting his head back to relieve the fatigue in his eyes, Pang Dahai yawned once more and pressed Chen Hao with idle questions.

"Hao Zi, tell me the truth, what is your relationship with that Foreign Girl?"

Chen Hao, tilting his head back with his eyes closed to rest, casually replied.

"Just ordinary friends?"

Pang Dahai's curiosity was overflowing.

"If you were just ordinary friends, how would you know her house password? If you were just ordinary friends, why would she be so nervous about you? Be honest, are you two sleeping together?"

Chen Hao said speechlessly.

"Brother Dahai, can you stop being so gossipy?"

Pang Dahai grinned mischievously.

"I don't want to gossip, but I'm just curious. Speaking of which, I think Zhang Menglu is quite nice. Don't you go cheating and do anything that lets her down."

Chen Hao remained silent, offering no reply.

Cheating was nothing. If calculated precisely, the women around Chen Hao now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was juggling six boats.

While Chen Hao maintained his silence, Shayiva walked out of the blood test room, clutching her arm.

"Chen Hao, are you alright now? I'm really sorry for causing you to suffer."

Chen Hao opened his panda eyes and looked at the wronged-looking Shayiva.

"I'm fine. How about you? What did the doctor say?"
