Chapter 29
“The money has already been transferred to the organization’s account. You’ve obtained 50 merit points. It’s still a little difficult to exchange for a Grade-D Esper Ability Potion like this, but I happen to have a mission suitable for you.”
“What mission?”
Liu Yuan had already returned to his Werewolf form. His clothes were tattered, as though he had experienced some sort of tribulation.
“Do you know why I chose you? Other than your extreme desire for power, there’s also your identity.”
Yang Xi’s tone was very calm. “You are the son of the Grade-A Hero, Mechanical Battle Hero, and also the younger brother of the Grade-A Hero, Demon Dragon. Your identity means that you can easily obtain the information we need.”
Liu Yuan thought to himself that as expected, the Judgment organization had come to him for a reason. They were after the power behind him.
Yang Xi could tell what Liu Yuan was thinking and said, “My mission in Deer Harbor City is to find out the organization behind the blue pill and what their motive is.”
Liu Yuan was stunned. “Blue pill?”
Wasn’t the blue pill used for… that? What organization was behind it? Wasn’t it just a male health company?
“Don’t misunderstand. The blue pill I’m talking about isn’t for ordinary people. It’s for Heroes.”
For… for Heroes. Could it be that Heroes had different needs from ordinary people in that aspect?
Liu Yuan felt his worldview slowly collapse. Old man… Big brother…
Yang Xi had no choice but to give Liu Yuan a knock on the head. After all, he now had the Werewolf Esper Ability. Even if he did not transform, his skin would still be thick and rough. It was completely different from the drunken and weak look he had before.
“Godfather, why did you hit my head?”
Liu Yuan hugged his head, feeling wronged. Even the old man didn’t dare treat him like this, but when Godfather West Chicken treated him like this, he felt a warm feeling of being treated as a family. The uneasiness in his heart even lessened.
Yang Xi said calmly, “Don’t secretly speculate on the organization’s purpose. This blue pill is indeed similar to what you imagined. Both of them can enhance a person’s ability. However, this can enhance a person’s Esper Ability. En, it can instantly enhance about three times the power.”
Liu Yuan’s eyes lit up. “It can increase my strength by three times? There’s such a good thing?”
Yang Xi snorted coldly. “This thing isn’t as good as you think it is. It has quite a number of side effects. Currently, the information we have is that after using this pill, the Hero’s Esper Ability will lose control and his emotions will become irritable and aggressive.”
“That’s it?”
Liu Yuan felt that this side effect was completely acceptable.
“Hmph, don’t even think about using it. This kind of power is only temporary. The organization’s Esper Ability Potion is ultimately the best.”
Liu Yuan stopped talking.
“Therefore, your most important task right now is to investigate the information regarding this blue pill. There is a Hero in your Kunlun Management Agency who once used this blue pill.”
“Who, my father or my brother?”
“None of them. It’s a new star that your company is promoting. The Grade-A expert, Glacier Hero.”
“It’s actually that guy? Good, Li Canyang is usually very arrogant, but behind closed doors, he’s actually a drug addict. I was wondering how he took care of the Grade-A Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf so dominantly last time!”
“Collect the information as soon as possible. If you obtain any good results, you can just publish a missing person notice on the eighth page of Deer Harbor Evening News. Just say that you’re looking for your cousin, Li Qiye. We will meet here at 8am that morning, and you will be able to obtain the Grade-D potion.”
…
Qian Duoduo was currently sitting in the coffee shop fretting. It was rare that her grandfather was generous enough to help her pay off her debt. But where was she going to find this creditor?
I don’t have a way to contact him, and I don’t even know his address. How am I supposed to find him?
“Looks like I can only find a newspaper to publish a missing person notice. This will cost a lot of money! Boohoohoo, I’ll ask Grandpa for reimbursement!”
After making up her mind, Qian Duoduo pinched her nose and finished the bitter coffee. This was definitely the hardest drink she had ever drunk.
“I don’t know how Sister Yourong persevered through drinking this thing every day. She said that this can make her breasts swell. I don’t know if it’s true.”
Qian Duoduo was already at the age where she had to worry about her figure. She had grown up eating the same rice, yet there was a world of difference between her and Ji Yourong’s growth.
“I’ll just choose this one then. The entertainment gossip section for their newspapers are quite interesting!”
Qian Duoduo stood under the office building where Deer Harbor Evening News was.
“Hello, what drink would you like?”
The receptionist led Qian Duoduo to the VIP room.
Qian Duoduo unceremoniously sat on the beige leather sofa, proficiently crossing her thin legs.
“What’s nice here?”
Actually, she wanted to ask which one was the most expensive.
The lady at the front desk liked Qian Duoduo’s behavior too. “There’s milk tea, Longjing, Pu’er… I’ll recommend the milk tea for girls.”
Qian Duoduo’s mind was racing. The most expensive item would definitely be the last one on the list.
“No need. I’m on a diet so I won’t drink milk tea. Give me the Pu’er tea.”
The lady at the front desk was stunned. It was rare for a girl to like Pu’er tea. However, she still smiled and said, “Please wait for a moment. The staff from the marketing department will be here soon.”
“Hey, Nuan Nuan, bring us two cups of the new stuff. We want that Golden Mountain Range treasure tea, add all the toppings in!” Fan Peng’s lazy voice came from the corner.
Nuan Nuan said unhappily, “Drinking milk tea from the VIP room everyday, aren’t you afraid of being scolded by the leaders!”
Fan Peng gave a sly smile. “It’s different today. Old Gao’s wife from the marketing department flipped out and insisted that he go home. I’m here to talk with a client for him.”
Nuan Nuan rolled her eyes. “What about the big brother behind you?”
The one following behind Fan Peng was naturally Yang Xi. He had just finished his afternoon nap and the strand of hair sticking up on his head was extremely eye-catching.
It can’t be helped. He was too rushed getting up early and going to the suburbs, and was even late to the office this morning. As a result, all the bonus that he’d accumulated for the month’s hard work had long been ruined.
Fan Peng said, “What’s the matter? I need an assistant with me when I talk business. Go, go, go. Hurry up and remember that both cups have to be iced.”
Yang Xi yawned. “Old Fan, aren’t you afraid that Nuan Nuan will spit in our milk tea?”
A wicked smile appeared on Fan Peng’s face. “I couldn’t ask for more!”
“Beast!”
Fan Peng tidied up his appearance and sat opposite Qian Duoduo in a serious manner. Even though he was freeloading drinks, he still had to help Old Zhao settle his business.
“Ahem, Miss, may I know what kind of advertisement you would like to invest in? Our Deer Harbor Evening News’ advertisement section will not publish any random product. I hope you can be clear about this.”
“I want to find someone through your newspaper.”
“A missing person notice? That’s no problem. May I know the name of the person you’re looking for? How’s the social relations?”
“His name is West Chicken. I don’t know if it’s his real name. Also, what does social relations mean?”
“Pfft!”
Yang Xi, who was drinking his milk tea at the side, immediately spat the liquid in his mouth onto Fan Peng’s face!
