95: Physical Enhancement
"Director Dehua, I'd like to ask if your medical center is equipped with body-enhancement facilities and related services?" Li Yang asked directly.
"Yes, yes, yes! This is a medical center affiliated with the Galactic Administrative Center Department! We have all sorts of advanced equipment and top-notch technology, Inspector Li, so you can rest assured." Dehua replied without delay.
"Alright then, I'm planning to come over for body enhancement now. Would that be convenient?" Li Yang followed up.
"Convenient, convenient! Inspector Li, your esteemed presence is our utmost honor. I will immediately arrange for dedicated Staff members to meticulously prepare everything, ensuring it's all ready and foolproof." Seeing Li Yang was coming, Dehua's tone became even more fawning.
After ending the call, Li Yang did not delay or linger, and immediately set off for the medical center.
Meanwhile, at the medical center, upon hearing the news that the Inspector would be arriving soon, Dehua hurriedly called together all the Staff members, from top to bottom, urging them to be extra vigilant and prepared for his arrival.
Even if he wasn't coming for an inspection, the superficial effort had to be done well and thoroughly.
Using the Space Station's built-in convenient teleportation device, Li Yang arrived at the medical center in just a few minutes.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Dehua leading a large group of Staff members, standing respectfully and waiting.
"Inspector Li, you're finally here! This way, please." Dehua said with a wide smile, bowing respectfully as he led the way.
However, Li Yang did not move, instead, his gaze slowly swept over the surrounding crowd.
"Director De, I'm just here for a body enhancement. There's really no need for such a grand display. Please have them disperse." Li Yang said unhurriedly.
He didn't want to be followed by a group of people, especially strangers, wherever he went.
Seeing that Li Yang didn't like such a grand reception, De Ming quickly winked at the people around him. The others understood and quickly dispersed, leaving only Dehua and a few key Staff members.
Seeing this, Li Yang nodded slightly and continued to walk inside with Dehua.
"Inspector Li, for your body enhancement this time, we have specially assigned our most top-tier technical personnel and activated the latest equipment, going all out to ensure your satisfaction." Dehua introduced enthusiastically while leading the way.
"Director De, how much will my lifespan specifically increase with this body enhancement?" Li Yang wasn't too concerned about other aspects of body enhancement. After all, being in a high position, he could delegate many tasks to his subordinates. The lifespan increase, however, was what Li Yang valued most.
"Due to the clear regulations of the Empire's laws, given your current rank, you can only undergo a Level 2 enhancement. However, please rest assured, generally speaking, an increase of about 500 years in lifespan is absolutely no problem." Dehua replied without the slightest hesitation.
500 years? It seems he had underestimated the effect of this enhancement. He had originally thought that one or two hundred years would be enough, but he didn't expect a full 500 years.
Putting everything else aside, with just these 500 years, as long as he didn't make any major mistakes, he would surely be eligible for the next level of enhancement, and by then, his lifespan would increase significantly again.
Not long after, Li Yang was led by De Ming to the room where the body enhancement instrument was located.
A huge transparent instrument, about 1 meter in radius and 3 meters high, stood steadily in the center of the room, looking particularly striking.
"This is the instrument we've specially prepared for you, Inspector Li. Please proceed to the preparation room first to change into the specialized attire." Entering the preparation room, Li Yang quickly changed into the special suit. Then, under the careful guidance of the medical Staff members, the transparent cover of the instrument slowly opened, and Li Yang steadily walked inside.
"Director, the instrument is ready and can be activated at any time."
"Alright, then activate it." As the instrument started, a large amount of unknown liquid slowly began to seep upwards from Li Yang's feet.
"Inspector Li, these are specially formulated liquids. Please don't worry, even if you are completely submerged, you will be able to breathe normally inside." Knowing that Li Yang came from an aboriginal planet, Dehua quickly explained anxiously from the side, fearing that Li Yang might misunderstand.
Li Yang, however, remained calm and unperturbed. After all, in this Galactic Administrative Center Department, who would dare openly harm him?
If it were when he first became a Lieutenant, he might have been worried seeing this liquid slowly submerge him.
But now, he would never have such concerns. Don't ask why; just know that his current status and position gave him ample confidence.
After the liquid completely filled the transparent instrument, the enhancement program officially began.
Li Yang felt an extremely powerful energy, like a tide, gradually permeating his body. His muscles began to tense, his bones creaked, and his cells were rapidly changing.
However, surprisingly, during this process, Li Yang did not feel the slightest discomfort. Instead, he experienced an unprecedented sense of comfort, as if every cell was happily breathing.
Two hours later, the enhancement was successfully completed, and the liquid in the instrument began to slowly recede.
Once the liquid had completely disappeared, Li Yang calmly and slowly walked out of the instrument. He gently stretched his limbs, feeling his entire body filled with surging power.
"Inspector Li, your body enhancement has been successfully completed. According to the detailed report, this has increased your lifespan by at least 600 years." Seeing Li Yang emerge from the instrument, Dehua quickly stepped forward and said.
"600 years? It seems I gained an extra hundred years, haha." Li Yang, in an exceptionally good mood, laughed and patted Dehua on the shoulder, approvingly indicating that he had done very well this time.
Dehua's face was filled with excitement, and he quickly expressed his resolve.
"Inspector Li, I will certainly lead all the Staff members of the medical center well, dedicating ourselves wholeheartedly to serving the Empire!" After all, in Dehua's opinion, with the Inspector Li's appreciation, his position as director might indeed have a chance to be promoted higher... Meanwhile, at the Telap System Court, the three Senior Judges transferred by An Cheng had already arrived at the court.
"Welcome, welcome! The three of you must be tired from your journey." Xibike said with a wide smile, quickly stepping forward to greet them.
However, to his surprise, the three Senior Judges completely ignored him, walking straight past him.
"Damn it, they've been transferred here, and they still think they're high-and-mighty judges from the Galaxy Cluster Court?" Seeing no one paid him any attention, Xibike smiled awkwardly, but inwardly he thought with resentment.
Even though Xibike was left in such an embarrassing situation, the three Senior Judges continued to ignore him, silently walking towards their offices.
Leaving Xibike and Wu Qiu and their group standing awkwardly in place.
"Pah, they've been transferred here and still dare to put on airs!" Seeing this, Wu Qiu also looked disdainful and said indignantly.
"Hmph, as expected of people from the Galaxy Cluster Court, they're so arrogant. Wu Qiu, find a way to teach them a lesson, straighten them out, and let them know whose territory this is." Xibike said to Wu Qiu.
"Yes, leave it to me." Wu Qiu responded.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't oppress a local snake, let alone those who have been demoted for offending important figures. Why should they be feared?
