"I didn't come to find the goddess; I came to find both of you." As Xiao Qiang's words echoed, the club fell into an immediate silence. He then spoke earnestly, locking his gaze on L and K, as well as Lin Yu, who was silently observing him. "We used to be partners, fighting side by side through thick and thin."
K replied with a mocking tone, "Kid, you sure know how to spin a tale. Tell me, what's my name? And what about his?" He hesitated, pointing at Lin Yu. "And her..." They were eager to uncover the identity of the goddess ranked number 22. Although Cosmic War had brought them closer together, their curiosity about her remained unchanged. Who exactly was she?
Xiao Qiang glanced around; he was surrounded by the three of them. K's arrogance was palpable, and many in the club were waiting for the spectacle to unfold. "How about we settle this in the training area? Are you up for it?" he said in a lowered voice.
K and L exchanged glances before looking down at their still aching toes. "Damn it, did you two conspire to ambush us?"
Xiao Qiang didn't understand what K meant.
Lin Yu snapped back, "Go to hell! How could that be possible? I don't even know this creep!" Comparing Xiao Qiang to a creep was not an exaggeration; the incident in the bathhouse spoke volumes.
L nodded at Xiao Qiang. "Kid, you should focus on how to defeat the spinning roulette before challenging the goddess. Then you can think about challenging us." This was a delaying tactic; after all, his toe had just been injured, and here came someone wanting to challenge him. Winning wouldn't mean much if he lost—he would be humiliated and wouldn't be able to hold his head high in front of the soldiers again.
"You guys are scared," Xiao Qiang scoffed disdainfully. "What's the worst that could happen? You three can team up against me."
"Hey! You really want to die, huh?" K couldn't believe that a rookie would have the audacity to challenge three elite warriors from Cosmic War.
Xiao Qiang remained unfazed and replied calmly, "Yes, bring it on." He gently placed his glass on the counter and strode out amidst a chorus of astonished gasps.
"Wow! Is this kid too arrogant?" K asked, seeking opinions. "What do you think? Should we teach him a lesson and knock some sense into him?"
"But my toe..." L had witnessed Xiao Qiang's unusual behavior and felt a bit apprehensive. He hesitated before suggesting, "Maybe we should wait a bit."
"I have an idea," Lin Yu said, particularly interested in what Xiao Qiang had just said. If he truly knew something useful, she wouldn't have to waste her efforts searching for answers herself. At the camp's medical tent, Dr. Lan Ke had recently developed some kind of nano-targeted micro-particle medication; she wondered if it would help their toes.
Lan Ke was a flamboyant male medic whose goal in studying medicine was to one day transform himself into a beautiful woman.
Both L and K had a strong aversion to Lan Ke; just seeing him raise his delicate fingers while speaking made them want to punch him.
Lan Ke was busy when he noticed his goddess with one shoulder draped over another man's arm; the two big men seemed to be playing some amusing game as they bounced around close to her.
Lin Yu mentioned that they had accidentally stepped on each other's toes and suggested they let Lan Ke take a look.
"Let me see your toes," Lan Ke exclaimed dramatically, raising his delicate fingers as if demanding them to take off their shoes for inspection.
"Get away from me!" K rudely pushed Lan Ke aside, furrowing his brows as he hopped over to lean against the wall and took off his shoes himself.
Lin Yu covered her mouth and nose. "You haven't washed your feet in ages!" K's stinky feet were unbearable.
L frowned as he sniffed the air while balancing on one foot against the wall, trying to remove his shoe with one hand.
Lan Ke hurriedly went into another room to activate a special medical air freshener filled with fragrant particles. The atmosphere instantly became pleasant. K instinctively brought his stinky shoe close to his nose and noticed that even its odor seemed to have vanished.
Lin Yu and Lan Ke examined their toes together; under Lan Ke's exaggerated gasps of shock, they saw that both of their big toes were swollen and red. Lin Yu couldn't bear to look any longer; her usually proud face showed no trace of its usual arrogance, replaced instead by an expression of guilt.
"I'm sorry... I..."
"Stop it, or should I step on you to see how it feels, then apologize?" K deliberately put on a serious face and joked.
Lan Ke listened to their conversation, glancing at Lin Yu and then at the two men. "You guys really are something else."
Not only did Lan Ke's demeanor and appearance have a feminine touch, but his flamboyant style was unmatched.
"Ahem, is there any effective way to solve this quickly? There's no need for so much chatter," L said earnestly.
"I have a special medicine, but I can only let you try it," Lan Ke replied.
"Hurry up! It hurts like hell!" K urged loudly. They still had to go to the training ground to meet that arrogant brat, Wildfire.
When Lan Ke came out from inside, he held a semi-transparent crystal-like object in the palm of his hand.
"What is that?" K asked nervously, staring at the object in Lan Ke's palm.
"Don't ask too many questions. I'm taking a huge risk by letting you try this," Lan Ke said.
"Is this safe?" Lin Yu asked hesitantly, reaching out to take the object from Lan Ke's hand for a closer look.
"Don't move," Lan Ke stopped Lin Yu's action and said seriously, "This is a nanomaterial targeted drug for wounds. It's very precious." He then instructed them to lie down on the single hospital bed.
"You’re not going to make us take that, are you?" K asked as Lin Yu insisted on lying down. He seemed uneasy and leaned forward to ask again.
"How could I give you something oral when it's just an external injury?" Lan Ke said, delicately opening the capsule with his pinky finger. After shaking a bit onto their injured toes, he pressed a gray button. Suddenly, a thin metallic support structure sprang out from the previously motionless wall. The support rotated and slowly transformed into a pair of tiny tentacles that extended toward their toes.
L and K, who had never witnessed such a scene before, held their breath in nervous anticipation as they watched the hooks approach their toes...
With a swish, Lan Ke pulled aside a curtain that blocked their view from their abdomen to their legs.
L wondered if the hooks were miniature medical robots meant to sever their toes.
"Stay calm; it will be done in a few minutes," Lan Ke's voice was soothing enough to give them goosebumps.
Both felt as if they were enjoying a foot massage; their injured toes tingled pleasantly. Meanwhile, Lan Ke and the goddess seemed to have endless gossip to share, filled with laughter and whispers.
