Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game

Chapter 127: Chapter 117: Eye Transplant, Holy Land Summon_1 Chapter 127: Chapter 117: Eye Transplant, Holy Land Summon_1 [You use the ‘Key to the Basement Entrance of the Academy’ to open the wooden door…]

[A stairway leading downwards appears before you. You descend and soon enter a brightly lit room.]

[It’s a vast laboratory, but it’s eerily empty…]

[You see many unfamiliar experimental instruments. Near the wall, there are several iron cages where beasts used as raw materials have had their eyes gouged out and are rotting with maggots]

[On one side, a wall cabinet is filled with shattered glass jars, and shriveled, useless eyeballs are scattered all over the floor.]

[There is a crude surgical table in the corner of the laboratory, next to which are blood-stained surgical instruments and a few small bottles of drugs.]

The Academy Dean isn’t here?

Lin Xun frowns and continues exploring.

[You walk over to the surgical table and pick up the scattered handwritten manuscript.]

[You have acquired ‘The Dis Academy Dean’s Surgical Report’ (Data)]

[The instruments and bottles on the surgical table seem to still be usable. You collect these items…]

[You received the ‘Eyehole Drill’ (Special Tool)]

[You received the ‘Eyeball Extractor’ (Special Tool)]

[You received the ‘Neural Tissue Regrowth Potion’*4 (Tools)]

With a plentiful harvest from the laboratory, Lin Xun quickly opens his item column to check.

[‘The Dis Academy Dean’s Surgical Report’ (Data)]

[…The power contained in the sea monster’s eyeballs is too great. I had to use the highly invaluable ‘Adaption Stabilizing Liquid’ to perfectly adapt these eyeballs.]

[Thankfully, the transplant surgery was successful after using ‘Adaption Stabilizing Liquid’. The process of the surgery was absolutely marvelous…]

[I absorbed a vast amount of knowledge and obtained immense and terrifying power. No one dares to look at me anymore.]

[I decided to go to the ‘Polyvision School Association’. With these eyeballs, I will attain a higher academic status…]

Besides ‘Bennett’s Transplant Clinic’, Lin Xun also heard about a place called ‘Polyvision School Association’.

According to the data, the Dean of the Academy should be at the ‘Polyvision School Association’.

[You gained knowledge, your knowledge increased by 45! Current Knowledge: 185/600]

He checks the remaining three items.

[‘Eyehole Drill’We’ve developed some new features that we think you’ll like. (Special Tool), a surgical instrument that can make holes in flesh. The hole’s size can be adjusted according to the eyeball size. Possessing this tool enables you to perform a simple ‘eyehole drilling’ surgery on your shell. Please note that a freshly drilled eyehole does not have nerve connection capabilities and cannot directly transplant eyeballs.]

[‘Eyeball Extractor’ (Special Tool), a surgical instrument that can fully extract the eyeball without damaging it. With this tool, you can perform a simple ‘eyeball extraction’ surgery on your shell.]

[‘Neural Tissue Regrowth Potion’ *4 (Tool), a murky yellow medicine in a small glass bottle. Upon closer observation, you can see small organisms wriggling within. Using this tool, you can grow neural tissue in a newly drilled eyehole, allowing it to connect the eyeball you want to transplant.]

Looking at the descriptions of the three tools, Lin Xun finds that the ‘Eyehole Drill’ combined with ‘Neural Tissue Regrowth Potion’ can transplant the eyeball.

And the ‘Eyeball Extractor’ can extract the eyeball without damage.

In his inventory, there’s also a pair of ordinary+ level eyeballs.

After some thought, he decides to install new eyeballs on his classmate Lily to see if the knowledge-enhancing skill can be strengthened.

He clicks on the ‘Eyehole Drill’.

[Please choose the eyeball you want to transplant, the number and size of the holes will be set based on the eyeball.]

[You selected ‘Unknown Creature’s Eyeball’ *2 (Ordinary+ level tool)]

[Please choose the location for hole drilling…]

Many options popped up in the text, with further choices under each option.

You can choose to drill holes in the head, torso, limbs…]

The options below would allow you to pinpoint the exact location, such as the face or back of the head when selecting the head, etc.]

Lin Xun saw that some of the sub-options even included the tongue, palm, and some unspeakable parts of the body.]

He felt a chill run down his spine and eventually selected a somewhat normal location: the forehead.

[Surgery in progress…]

[…]

[You have successfully drilled holes for the eyeballs!]

[You used the ‘Neural Tissue Regrowth Potion’ *2]

[…]

[The newly drilled eyeholes have regenerated neural tissue and can be transplanted with eyeballs.]

[You placed the two eyeballs into the hollow eye sockets on your forehead.]

[A bright light flashed before your eyes, your view became clearer and wider. The colors were richer and everything in the laboratory seemed more vivid to you…]

[Your skill ‘Knowledge Extraction’ has been upgraded to ‘Knowledge Squeezing’!]

[Knowledge Squeezing (Ordinary+ Level), every individual harbors an endless desire to seek knowledge, and the pursuit of knowledge is the sole purpose of life. Upon activating this skill, you can slightly increase your knowledge gaining amount.]

Lin Xun tries clicking on the ‘Book Containing Some Knowledge’.

[You open the ‘Book Containing Some Knowledge’, read its contents, and absorb the knowledge within…]

[You have gained knowledge, your knowledge has increased by 20! Current knowledge: 205/600]

The knowledge-enhancing skill increases by 100% from a 50% boost. So with a book with a knowledge level of 10, he can now gain 20 points of knowledge.

He scans the laboratory again but sees no more lootable items.

Having finished exploring the inside of the Teaching Building, Lin Xun exits the laboratory.]

[You are in the lobby on the ground floor of the Teaching Building. Ahead lies a heavy metal door. Push it and you can leave the Teaching Building…]

[Do you want to leave the Teaching Building, or continue exploring?]

Just when Lin Xun was about to opt for leaving, a line of text suddenly popped up.

This line of text did not appear on his phone screen, but actually in his real-life field of view!

[The ‘Disciple’s Sanctuary Lower Seat Certificate’ you hold is issuing a summons…]

[Please teleport to the ‘Disciples’ Sanctuary’ within one hour!]

[Please note! You will be teleported to the ‘Disciples’ Sanctuary’ as a Wandering Soul!]

Lin Xun, who was immersed in the game, was startled by the sudden text.

Such a text appearing directly in his field of vision had only happened when he saw dead creatures before.

He never expected the ‘Seat Certificate’ of the New World to summon members in such a manner.

Remembering the intricate details given to him by the black silk lady, Lin Xun temporarily removed the Sacred Objects from his Apostle Panel.

The game text showed that his ‘Ordinary Soul’ had regressed to a ‘Weak Soul’.

The soul strength is also cut down by half, to 1/2.

He returned to the lecture hall on the second floor of the Teaching Building and clicked on the Rest Page.

[3. Teleportation: You can teleport to a Rest Page with which you’ve resonated or back to the Library. Since you hold the ‘Disciple’s Sanctuary Lower Seat Certificate’, you can also teleport to the ‘Disciples’ Sanctuary’.]

[Please choose your teleportation destination…]

Lin Xun narrows his eyes, and promptly presses down on ‘Disciples’ Sanctuary’!]
