"Mr. Wang, are you sure this mechanical eyeball can restore Old Five's vision?" Big Brother looked at Wang Chao, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Wang Chao shook his head and said, "This is the latest research from our Danfeng Group. The previous clinical trials were successful, but the specific results vary from person to person, and I'm not entirely sure."
"So, let's wait and see."
Upon hearing this, Big Brother's heart sank slightly.
If even Wang Chao wasn't sure, then the hope seemed uncertain.
But in the next moment, he felt ecstatic and filled with anticipation, tightly watching Old Five, and encouraged him, "Old Five, hold on. Everything will be fine."
Since Wang Chao mentioned that the clinical trials were successful, it meant that there was great hope. As long as Old Five held on, there was a chance to regain his sight.
Old Five gritted his teeth, his forehead showing prominent veins, drenched in sweat, and trembling violently.
It was evident that the implantation of these mechanical eyeballs was not just slightly painful, as Zhou Xinghe had described. It was excruciatingly painful.
"Hold on. This little pain is nothing. As long as you endure it, you'll be able to see things," Zhou Xinghe calmly said.
He held Old Five's hand and could feel how much pain Old Five was experiencing.
Under severe pain, people couldn't control their hands, as they instinctively reacted to anything that caused pain.
If Zhou Xinghe didn't restrain him, Old Five would probably have tried to remove the mechanical eyeballs.
Thus, he endured for five minutes, and then Old Five's trembling finally ceased, and his fists relaxed.
"We succeeded." Zhou Xinghe smiled and immediately released his control over Old Five.
Old Five collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. His entire body was soaked in sweat, as if he had been pulled out of the sea, dripping wet.
His mechanical eyes remained tightly closed, unable to open. It seemed like he had fallen into a state of unconsciousness and couldn't wake up.
Moreover, there were flickering blue lights beneath his eyelids.
"Old Five, are you alright?"
Big Brother and Old Two hurried over, supporting Old Five and anxiously examining him from head to toe.
Even Big Brother looked at Wang Chao with a nervous and worried expression.
"Don't worry, he's just unconscious. The mechanical eyeballs have been successfully implanted, and they're currently initializing and optimizing. It should take about five minutes," Wang Chao said calmly.
He wasn't very familiar with these mechanical eyeballs, but he had used his "Divine Vision" to assess Old Five's condition.
Old Five's body functions were normal, except for the mechanical eyeballs in his eye sockets, which were moving but posed no life-threatening danger.
After five minutes, Old Five regained consciousness, moving his hands and feet.
Big Brother and the others helped Old Five up, showing deep concern as they asked, "Old Five, how are you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!"
Old Five shook his head and then attempted to open his eyes, looking around.
The mechanical eyeballs emitted a deep blue light, giving them an eerie appearance, as if they belonged to something non-human.
"Old Five, can you see now?" Big Brother asked.
Old Two, Old Three, and Old Four also fixed their gaze on Old Five's mechanical eyeballs, motionless.
Under their intense scrutiny, Old Five's eyeballs started moving in different directions.
"I can see! I can really see!"
Old Five glanced around, then lowered his head to look at his own hands, and finally turned his gaze to Big Brother and the others. He was filled with joy and excitement, jumping up and laughing heartily. "Big Brother, I can really see!"
In his line of sight, everything wasn't perfectly clear, but he could clearly see Big Brother and the others in front of him.
He could see the light, his own hands, and the surrounding scenery—the red flames, blue sky, white clouds, and green trees.
"Hahaha!"
"I've regained my sight. Now I don't need to die."
Old Five excitedly spun in place, then approached Wang Chao and warmly shook his hand. "Mr. Wang, I'm so grateful to you. You are like my reborn parents."
"Please accept my deepest gratitude!"
Big Brother, Old Two, and the others also quickly regained their senses, immediately coming to Wang Chao's side and kneeling down.
"No, no, please get up."
Wang Chao frowned slightly and promptly helped them all up, saying, "You've defended and protected our nation. As citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, how could I ignore your needs?"
"We complement each other, and my assistance is just a small gesture."
"You do not have to do this."
But Big Brother and the others insisted on kneeling, so Wang Chao had no choice but to channel his true qi, lifting them all up, preventing them from kneeling further.
"This!"
Big Brother and the others felt the force, their expressions greatly changed. They looked at Wang Chao with astonishment and disbelief.
They had thought that Wang Chao was just an ordinary person, but they never expected him to possess such formidable strength.
Using invisible power to lift all five of them—this was not something an ordinary warrior could do.
"Alright, stop lingering. As men, why are you always kneeling? Get up now and do not bother my boss," Zhou Xinghe uttered sternly.
"Zhou Xinghe, what's wrong with your manners? Show some respect!" Wang Chao scolded him.
"Boss, I'm just speaking the truth. We're all warriors, so we repay debts in the future when the opportunity arises. Kneeling in public like this, what kind of image does that portray?"
Zhou Xinghe picked his nose and continued, "And look around, there are many people watching us."
"Moreover, the owner of the breakfast shop still needs to do business, and we're blocking the way. It's quite inconvenient."
"Nowadays, it's not like ancient times. Can't we stop kneeling so frequently?"
Wang Chao: (￣ェ￣;).
Big Brother, Old Two, Old Three, Old Four, Old Five: (￣ェ￣;).
However, Zhou Xinghe was right. They're indeed obstructing others from doing business in this place.
So, they all got up and prepared to leave.
"Obstructing? Heh, of course, it would be inconvenient!"
Just then, a young man in fight armor, with a slick appearance, stood before them, coldly staring at Wang Chao, Big Brother, and the others.
Upon seeing this person, Big Brother and the others' expressions drastically changed.
The young man's gaze eventually fell on Wang Chao, his eyes unkind as he coldly said, "Hey, who gave you permission to help them?"
