The sensation of new organs growing was bizarre.

Lin Chen felt as if his entire chest and abdominal cavity were constantly undergoing a slow churning motion, like an enlarged version of peristalsis was happening throughout his body.

Lin Chen lay on the bed with a blank expression, saying weakly, “When you have time, go give your leader a suggestion. The repair function should have a one-key completion and a do-not-disturb feature.”

“…If this slow recovery continues, my internal organs will be cooked into a porridge by you.”

The system said shyly in a low voice, “Host, have you forgotten? I’m actually a storyline maintenance system. The repair function, I, I’m not good at it…”

Lin Chen had no energy to bother with it.

He lay on the bed in a daze for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, the door of the break room creaked open, and the cremator returned.

Lin Chen hadn’t been in a deep sleep.

Hearing the noise, he groggily opened his eyes.

The middle-aged male cremator closed the door with a guilty conscience, turned around, and said to Lin Chen in a low voice, “Brother, I’m about to get off work. My colleague will probably come to take my shift in about half an hour.”

He gestured to the other bed in the break room and said with difficulty, “That is, my roommate.”

When Lin Chen saw the cremator, he had already guessed this.

He had no intention of bribing another staff member—the fewer people who knew about the anomaly, the better. With each additional person, the possibility of exposure increased.

He struggled to sit up on the bed.

Just this action alone caused a fine layer of cold sweat to break out on his forehead and back.

But this was already quite good—after all, before he “died” yesterday, he hadn’t been able to get out of bed for a long time!

The moment Lin Chen thought of this cancer experience, a strong sense of worthiness for the one hundred million M dollars he had received rose in his heart.

Overcharging Father Li?

Didn’t exist!

His efforts and services this year were worth this price!

Lin Chen stood up with difficulty. Several of his organs were incomplete, causing his abdomen to hurt so much that his head buzzed.

Previously, when working while having cancer, he would have the system activate the pain shielding most of the time.

But the pain shielding function could not be used simultaneously with body repair, so at this moment, Lin Chen could only rely on willpower to endure.

Endure he did. He supported himself with one hand on the wall, stabilizing his body, while showing a polite and grateful smile to the middle-aged cremator.

Lin Chen: “Understood, thank you very much. The promised reward will be delivered tomorrow, and the quality job opportunity I promised you will also come to you within a month.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged cremator’s eyes lit up with joy. He caringly supported Lin Chen and asked, “How about you rest in my car for a while? After I finish my shift, I’ll take you to the hospital to have a look!”

The system suddenly announced, “Reporting to Host! The cremator’s car is parked at the back door, and Cheng Huanzhen’s spies are also squatting there!”

Lin Chen thanked the cremator, shook his head, and said, “Thank you, but there’s no need. You just need to provide me with a set of your work clothes.”

Lin Chen quickly changed into a staff uniform. The clothes that originally belonged to “Li Shuyun” were handed over to the cremator and would soon be thrown into the incinerator to be burned, completely destroying the evidence of their existence.

After leaving the break room, Lin Chen immediately had the system restore his own face and prioritized spending some energy to regrow his hair thickly.

Changing his “identity” couldn’t alleviate any of his pain, but it was the most basic insurance.

The system muttered in a low voice, “Host, what do you think Cheng Huanzhen is thinking? You died so realistically! And Cheng Huanzhen clearly doesn’t believe in gods and ghosts…”

Thinking of this, Lin Chen’s head hurt even more.

Lin Chen: “He indeed doesn’t believe. But… I remember he has a bad habit. When he encounters a problem he can’t solve, he will just skip over the problem.”

The more Lin Chen thought about it, the unhappier he became. “My perfectly executed illness was just skipped over by him!”

Lin Chen, displeased, simply had the system open the map.

The system quickly displayed a floor plan of the funeral home.

On the map, red circles represented Cheng Huanzhen and his spies. They were firmly guarding every exit of the funeral home. Occasionally, a few red circles would secretly move outside the exits… probably slacking off.

A green line snaked from Lin Chen’s location to an exit in the northeast corner.

The system strongly recommended this route to Lin Chen. “Do you know what the lookout at this exit is doing? He’s busy watching a TV series!”

Lin Chen, weak and listless, followed the recommended path.

His tone was faint. “Don’t talk to me about these irrelevant things. Can the body repair be paused? Give me pain shielding, and restart the repair work when I get home.”

The system said shyly, “It’s possible, Host, but many of your internal organs are currently in a half-grown state. If I pause the repair now, all these unformed organs will probably be damaged, and next time, next time they can only be regrown from scratch!”

Lin Chen: “?”

Lin Chen was greatly shocked. “A high-tech product like you doesn’t even support resuming from a breakpoint?! …Forget it, I get it. I won’t count on you. Just quietly go back to repairing.”

Lin Chen’s current state was barely better than his late-stage cancer state a few days ago. At least he was alive and could move independently.

But that was about it.

Lin Chen had only rounded two corners in the funeral home, and his face was already as pale as paper. He held his abdomen tightly with one hand, slightly supporting himself with the other hand on the wall, his steps staggering.

The system felt extremely heartbroken and couldn’t bear to watch. “Host, do you have to be so serious and hardworking!”

Lin Chen endured the pain and sneered, “Otherwise, how could I have built a fortune of over ten digits from scratch in four years?”

He staggered to the exit of the planned route.

Just as the system had said, the lookout guarding this exit was currently slacking off—he was wearing headphones and watching a show, occasionally looking up to glance at the exit. As long as there was nothing, he would lower his eyes again, a master of multitasking, not paying full attention to anything.

Lin Chen rested at the exit for a while.

Only after regaining some strength did he finally take a step.

He straightened his back as much as possible, disguised himself as a funeral home staff member, held a phone to his ear, and casually mumbled “uh-huh” as if responding to some work matter, while walking out naturally and quickly.

He had already called a taxi. The taxi was waiting for him at the nearest possible parking spot outside this alley.

As long as he could successfully slip past the lookout’s gaze, in less than a minute, he could get into the taxi, successfully escape, and complete another grand escape after closing a deal!

His disguise was very successful.

The lookout, distracted, glanced at him, saw nothing amiss, and went back to watching his show.

However, just at this moment, Lin Chen, who was missing who knows how many organs, suddenly felt a sharp, twisting pain in his abdomen.

His vision suddenly went black, his legs lost their strength, and he fell to the ground with a thud!

“…Damn.”

Lin Chen let out a low sigh. His arm had timely blocked in front of him, crashing to the ground, and a dull pain shot through his entire arm.

However, the dull pain in his arm was nothing compared to the sharp, twisting pain in his abdomen. He clutched his stomach tightly, his whole body curled up in pain, his forehead covered in cold sweat, panting softly.

The noise startled the lookout.

The lookout looked up in astonishment, turned off his video with professional composure, hesitantly called his boss, and then trotted over, asking cautiously, “Brother? Are you… alright?”

The system was terrified. “Ho-Host! How about I give you pain shielding first!!”

Lin Chen: “…”

Lin Chen lay on the ground as if life had lost all meaning, closing his eyes. “What’s the use of shielding it now?”

He sneered weakly, “If your strength for repairing my body was as abundant as your strength for talking, I would have been healthy by now.”

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the distance. The footsteps approached quickly, and a familiar figure squatted down in front of him.

Lin Chen’s vision was blurry. The pain, almost beyond his limit of endurance, kept stimulating his body and brain.

So much so that when he was helped up from the ground by the figure, he even wanted to lie back down on the ground, close his eyes, and cut off his brain to sleep.

But the figure wouldn’t let him.

The figure firmly held his shoulders, not letting him fall back to the ground, while shouting something. After shouting a few times without getting a response, the person quickly said to the person on the side, “He’s a little unconscious. Quick, call 120!”

120…?

His blurry consciousness regained a little clarity. Lin Chen heard clearly this time.

The hospital… that’s a no-go.

Once they took a scan and his growing internal organs were exposed, wouldn’t the entire field of modern medicine be overturned by him?

Lin Chen struggled to regain a sliver of consciousness and grabbed the figure in front of him.

He tried hard to make a sound, his voice so weak and hoarse that even he himself couldn’t recognize it. “No hospital.”

The figure froze.

Lin Chen was in great discomfort at this moment and had no energy to wait for Cheng Huanzhen to say anything. He said quickly and vaguely, “Help me find a place, book a private room, let me sleep. I’ll pay you back when I wake up…”

Before he could finish, the growing organs in his abdomen sent another sharp pain, so painful that his vision went black, and his mind instantly blurred.

Before passing out from the pain, Lin Chen’s last thought was: …This money from Father Li, I really deserved to earn it.
