Does this work too?

"I'm a little dazed, but I'm full of energy."

Gloria expressed her feelings, and while sitting on the operating table, she tried to control her kagune. It felt a little unfamiliar, but she could feel as if she had gained an extra body.

"Then it feels fine, there's no rejection reaction. The pain is probably due to the expiration date," Senior Xiaoyuan said seriously after thinking for a moment.

Leng Mo immediately sensed something was wrong: "What the hell? It's expired? This is DNA modification! If the DNA is expired, doesn't that mean it's dead?"

"Can't someone who dies be brought back to life?" Senior Xiaoyuan asked rhetorically.

"What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless!"

Leng Mo truly hadn't expected that DNA could be revived, and even found it reasonable and convincing.

However, the result was still gratifying. The humans in this world were compatible with ghoul genes and did not experience any sense of collapse.

"Get down and walk a few steps."

Madoka looked at the tablet in her hand and said to Gloria.

Upon hearing this, Gloria got off the operating table in a daze, walking very slowly as if she were a baby learning to walk.

Upon seeing this, Senior Xiaoyuan nodded.

"It's not a big problem, you'll get used to it. Your consciousness hasn't accepted the sudden appearance of the Kagune organ yet."

"Is this considered a success?" Mann looked at Gloria with shining eyes, full of anticipation.

"It's a success. We'll see how it goes in the next few days. The kagune can be taken back; try it yourself."

"Let me try……"

Gloria tried to control her kagune, and with her clumsy movements, the kagune trembled a few times and slowly retracted into her lower back.

"Well... let me try next."

Leng Mo grinned and pulled out two pistols, aiming them at Gloria's thighs.

Boom!

The bullet hit Gloria instantly.

"Ugh!!" Gloria cried out in pain, her lower body went limp and she sat down on the ground.

"What are you doing?!"

Upon seeing this, Mann immediately shouted nervously, "Are you going to kill someone? Because the experiment has already succeeded?"

If that's the case, he has to stop it, because he has to repay Gloria's favor!

He was stopped by Jack, who was standing next to him: "Wait! Look closely!"

"Um!?"

Mann's pupils constricted as he clearly saw the wound on Gloria's thigh healing at a visible speed, even pushing the bullet out.

"This is!?"

At this moment, Leng Mo saw Gloria's wounds healing and calculated the time.

"Five seconds? Is it really because it's expired? If someone keeps attacking, the self-healing time will be extended indefinitely."

"Five seconds is not bad. Back then, we fought while bleeding. Number Three's super-fast regeneration is already very strong, although it can't compare to what we use now," Senior Xiaoyuan explained as she put away her computer.

"That's true, then everything's fine now. Let's go eat and drink our fill! To calm our nerves!"

Leng Mo waved his hand and said he would treat everyone to dinner, with Xiao Yuan paying the bill, of course.

"Old Wei is here too. Having seen so much, you can't escape now, hahahahahaha!"

"..."

Seeing Leng Mo laughing so wildly, Victor was speechless and turned to look at Jack with resentment.

The latter smiled helplessly, but there was nothing he could do.

However, after witnessing so many amazing things, he still felt it was all worthwhile.

"You guys go ahead and eat, I'm going back now. You'll be in charge of handling things from now on."

When Yakumo Yukari saw that Leng Mo was going to eat, she indicated that she was not interested and prepared to leave.

"No problem, Miss! Yes, Miss!"

Leng Mo smiled at Yakumo Yukari and waved goodbye.

Then Yukari Yakumo nodded, opened the gap, and went inside. This made Victor's eyes widen again, and he exclaimed in his heart in amazement at the spatial technology!

"Um...can I go home and visit?"

After her painful experience, Gloria missed her son terribly and wanted to go back to see him.

"It's possible, but the receiver isn't inside your body right now. Is that alright? Never mind, I'll put it back in for you. Not many people can put it back in five seconds."

As she spoke, Senior Xiaoyuan raised her hand and delivered a slash, simple and brutal.

As blood splattered, Gloria frowned slightly, the pain vanishing in an instant, and then she instantly felt the receiver return.

"Thank you."

"By the way, the first phase of the experiment is over. Next is the prosthetic experiment. We need to know your current resistance to the prosthetic. Don't you have a job collecting corpses? Remember to find a military prosthetic to test it on. The money for the first phase has been transferred to you."

After speaking, Senior Xiaoyuan revealed a comical smile, as if hinting at something.

However, Gloria didn't notice this; instead, she was stunned by the amount of money before her.

Another five million?!

"Wow—!! You guys are really rich..."

Gloria felt exhausted. She had already given her all to transfer tens of thousands of dollars, but Madoka-senpai just waved her hand and gave her five million dollars, as if it weren't her money.

"The old woman has plenty of money, hehe!" Leng Mo grinned, not forgetting to mutter about Yakumo Yukari behind her back.

"..."

Why do I always feel like you'll be exposed someday?

I hope I won't be there then.

Those around Leng Mo, upon hearing his words, prayed in their hearts that if they were exposed, they would not be present.

A moment later, as Gloria was about to leave, Mann took out his car keys and tossed them to her.

"Here you go. You didn't have a car when you came out, right? I'll lend you mine."

"Thank you, that helped a lot."

When Gloria saw Mann do this, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

She put away her keys and walked outside, feeling incredibly happy.

With money and power... although there are still unstable factors, his son can now at least truly be a wealthy young man.

Let's buy David some good food first, then move.

Chapter 548 Something terrible must have happened!

Gloria was overjoyed as she drove home, and she even floored the accelerator.

Meanwhile, David woke up in the morning to find five million dollars in his account, along with a message from his mother, which terrified him.

"mom!"

David quickly dialed Gloria's contact number.

"Answer it quickly! Answer it now!!"

Then the communication was connected.

call……

David immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

“David, I’m coming home right away, we have money now! I’ll take you out to eat, then we’ll move. I’ve asked for leave from school for you. It’s going to be a busy day, so hang in there.”

"Mom! What happened? Why is there an extra five million? And why was it transferred to me? What happened to you yesterday?!"

"It's a long story, but there's something I can tell you: your mom is a company employee now, and she has money, so don't worry about her. You just need to focus on your studies! I'm hanging up now."

After ending the call, Gloria immediately sped up, looking hopefully toward home.

David, completely unaware of what was happening, sat incredulously on the sofa.

Something's definitely wrong!

David didn't think this sudden windfall was a good thing; nothing good could possibly happen in Night City.

Even he could understand, but now he could only wait for his mother to come back and explain.

Soon, Gloria returned, and upon seeing David, she excitedly went up to him.

"David!"

She excitedly gave him a hug.

"puff!!"

David was startled by Gloria's embrace and felt pain all over his body.

"Let go! Let go, I can't breathe!"

"Huh? Oh! Sorry, sorry, I didn't realize it."

Gloria reacted quickly and released her grip, realizing that her strength was not what it used to be.

"I almost died... Mom, did you get some kind of prosthetic body? How can you be so strong?"

David, having broken free, sat on the ground, breathing heavily. The power he had just witnessed was definitely not simple.

Upon hearing this, Gloria smiled slightly. She wouldn't tell David the truth; she had already come up with an excuse.

"Mom, I've been noticed by someone at the company and I have a job now."

"But even if the company values ​​you, it's impossible for you to suddenly have so much more money!"

"That's because I got paid for doing something for the company. I can't say what it was, so David, you'd better study hard."

"But...Mom..."

"There's nothing more to say, let's go eat! We're moving to a bigger house later!"

Seeing his mother so happy, David didn't press the matter further.

A gentle smile appeared on her face; she couldn't bear to break the atmosphere.

On this day, David ate something delicious that he hadn't had in a long time, and seeing his mother's happy smile, his face was also filled with happiness.

After dinner, Gloria drove with David to look for a new house.

But then David spoke up, saying, "Mom, now that we have money, why don't I go work for your company and earn some money too?"

“No.” Gloria was startled by his words. Thinking of the pain she had endured, she absolutely refused to let David go to Leng Mo’s side.

"But……"

"No! At least not now. Mom has just joined the company and has no say at all. Let's wait and see. You should focus on your studies now. Even if you can't get into Mom's company after graduation, you can still get into Arasaka and become an elite. That way, you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future."

"Mom... I really don't want to study."

“If you don’t study… then what have I been working so hard for all these years?” As she said this, tears streamed down Gloria’s face.

"Sorry……"

"Yeah, it's okay. So, David, you must..."

boom--! !

Suddenly, a bullet pierced through the lathe and reached the other side of the car window. The two groups of people outside ignored Gloria and fired at the car opposite them.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-!

Bullets rained down, startling Gloria and David.

At the same time, Gloria's eyes flashed with a fierce light as she looked at the person who fired the shot.

It's the Tiger Claw Gang!

A bunch of unscrupulous bastards!
