Chapter 271 Janet 2! An Enviable Special Ability!

After making up his mind on giving Janet an extra point, Su Yang checked to see where Janet was at.

The guy was taking a dip in his very own swimming pool in the virtual space. It was the one that Pool split for him. In the virtual space app on his mobile phone, Janet used a petite and adorable image of a Q-tip with a big head as a display picture. However, since he couldn't go anywhere, Su Yang decided that he'd clean the house first. He closed the door and released two little monster beans from the virtual space, ordering them to clean up the room as he returned to the bedroom.

He wanted to bring the bed back to the virtual space. When he arrived, the faint fragrance of Tang Jing's body was still lingering in the bedroom. She had folded the quilts and even made the bed neatly before she left. For someone like Su Yang who had never folded the quilt or made the bed, this was unimaginable. 'Why do people fold the quilt? It's just lying there on the bed.. 'Still… with such a diligent mother, Xiaomi must be quite happy.' Su Yang then smiled and was just about to bring the bed back to the virtual space when he saw a pair of stockings on the bed. Su Yang was speechless.

'Did you accidentally leave this here?' It was the first time Su Yang touched this kind of thing. As he picked it up to touch it, it felt delicate and smooth to the touch. He pondered. 'Should I remind Tang Jing?' Su Yang imagined how that scenario would pan out.

He took a picture of Tang Jing's stocking and sent a WeChat message, (Sister Tang, your… You forgot it at my house.

She replied, [Mmm… It's embarrassing. Forget it. Put it away.) Su Yang put it in the nightstand, opened the rear camera, and scanned the entire bed. Suddenly, the bed returned to Su Yang's bedroom. Right after that, Su Yang entered the virtual space and went to the swimming pool to look for Janet. Arriving at the pool, Janet could be seen diving in a tight black wetsuit. His gills were like those of a shark, with a few extra slits so he could breathe freely in the water. Su Yang found it very interesting that fully formed monsters like him and Bubbles seemed to be able to take on certain features and functions of their original bodies in their human forms.

Janet stretched his hands out underwater, put his legs together, and swayed it left and right like a fish, advancing with great speed. While he was underwater, he could do the backstroke, spin, roll, and stretch, along with various difficult maneuvers. He was literally like a swimming dragon and was much more agile than when he was a shark.

Little Hus kept jumping while barking at the shore.

"Wow! My wife is so beautiful!"

"Wow! My wife is getting so much praise!" Su Yang was speechless.

He grabbed Little Hus and threw him out of the pool.

Closing the door, Su Yang went to the side of the pool and knocked on it to get Janet's attention. "Janet."

Janet heard Su Yang calling him so he stood up whilst underwater, swinging his legs hard to propel his entire body out of the water like an arrow. After he leaped into the air, he landed heavily on the edge of the pool.

"Hiyeah!" He landed on one knee, kneeling right beside the pool while the sky above him was filled with droplets. "My Lord, are you looking for me?" Su Yang always had some kind of resistance toward him. It was because he seemed as beautiful as a goddess but when it actually came down to brass tax, he was much… Larger. However, ever since he realized that Janet was obedient and only worked silently without so much as a single sound while being extremely strong, he had changed his opinion of Janet completely. Su Yang took the initiative to help him up and said, "There's no need for such formalities in the future. We're all family." After helping Janet up, Su Yang continued, "After talking to Pool last night, I realized that you only have one point so I'm going to give you another point."

After saying that, he asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"

Janet shook his head. Although he was a beautiful woman externally, he was as dull as bones internally. Su Yang continued, "That's fine. Then, I'll give you an extra point." After saying that, Su Yang opened the system store and purchased a Guardian Talisman. When giving his monsters additional points, he always used this as insurance despite it costing an additional 20% of points. However, it gave him peace of mind. After all, the little monsters had long become his family and they were living beings as well. After buying the guardian talisman, Su Yang affixed the talisman to Janet's head. Once the talisman was pasted on his head, it flickered a few times before disappearing. Then, a red glow appeared to surround Janet's body. Su Yang didn't wait any longer as he immediately opened the system and began adding points. Once the system interface was brought up, a translucent ] appeared above Janet's head. Su Yang lightly tapped on it and suddenly, Janet let out a muffled grunt. A blinding light surrounded his body before turning into a ball of light that flew into the

air.

Su Yang brought out the small bench and as he had his fill with melon seeds, he watched the light glow in the air while waiting quietly. The more he waited, the more Su Yang felt like something was going wrong. In the cluster of light, Janet's shadow was getting increasingly smaller. Initially, he could still see his silhouette. However, it gradually seemed to disappear. Su Yang's heart thumped as his hands stopped moving. 'Is it possible that I failed in adding points?' Frowning while worried, he wasn't in the mood to eat. Su Yang stood up and continued paying close attention to the cluster of light. However, just as he was fretting, the light disappeared and a transparent liquid drifted down from the sky and fell to the ground.

Su Yang was speechless. 'It's a failure!' Su Yang's heart was about to jump out of his chest. He even ran over to take a look at the water. However, all he saw was the water flowing down the edge of the swimming pool into the pool.

The water dripped into the pool and completely disappeared.

Su Yang felt his head buzzing, at a loss for words.

However, there was still a consoling thought in his mind. 'I've already used a Guardian Talisman, so even if my point addition failed, he won't turn into water, right? 'So… is this supposed to be another good thing? This is supposed to be another good thing.' Just as Su Yang was deep in thought, a loud bang was heard from the swimming pool. "Boom!"

Su Yang was looking intently at the pool when he saw a giant shark at seven or eight meters in length in it with its mouth wide open, rampaging, and shrieking while biting randomly. Despite being shocked, Su Yang called out, "Janet?" It was as if the giant shark had really heard him. As it fiercely looked at Su Yang, it looked as if it had just seen its food when it flung its meter-long tail. The water exploded in a loud bang, propelling it toward Su Yang. "Bang!" The force created waves that made even Su Yang back up in fear.

The giant shark leaped out of the pool and opened its bloody mouth like it was about to swallow Su Yang. Its huge mouth was so large it seemed to cover the sky. Su Yang felt as if he could smell the fetid stench in the shark's mouth as he clenched his teeth, ready to leave the virtual space at any moment to escape the danger.

However, the giant maw turned transparent right at the last moment as the remainder of the giant shark turned transparent as well.

The entire body of the shark turned transparent in just a few moments as its body fused into a body of water that looked like a shark.

The water then turned into a stream that circled twice around Su Yang like it was alive before finally detaching itself from him. Right at that moment, it seemed to bounce on the floor as it took the form of a human.

As the human form solidified, a brand new Janet appeared before him.

He knelt down on one knee and said to Su Yang, "My Lord, I'm frightened."

Around this time, the evaluation after Janet had points added to him appeared as well. (Shark 2: Acquired special water form. Please conduct self-research.]

Su Yang was speechless.

Still shocked, Su Yang put his hand on his chest and waved at Janet. "Give me a minute, I need to take a breather!"

He took a few large breaths to adjust his state of mind before looking at the system to evaluate it again.

'Special water form? Conduct my own research? "That's it? It's even briefer than Little Deeny's brief back then! What is this?! Conduct my own research? What research?!' Su Yang looked at Janet and asked, "Do you know your special form?" Janet nodded. "Yes." 'This guy is really dull. He'll just answer whenever he's asked.' Su Yang was speechless. "Tell me what it is then."

Janet explained, "It's like my body can switch states and turn into water. It allows me to blend into the surrounding water and hide perfectly. Su Yang's mouth was wide open.

Janet continued, "I also seem to have the ability to control water. It's unlike how Pool is able to control the water in his pool. I can control any form of water as long as its within 10 meters from me." Su Yang's mouth remained open. "Also, I can return to my original form, and I can change the size of my body according to the amount of water. I can also use the water to make my human body bigger." As he said that, Janet stood up and waved his hand. Suddenly, water from the swimming pool flew toward him as if being pulled by something as they twirled around his body. As the water swirled, Janet's body grew increasingly bigger. Two meters, three meters, four meters!

Soon, he became a topless giant!

Su Yang's mouth was still wide open, with only one thought in his mind. "Is this the appearance of a

god?"

He half-heartedly rubbed his somewhat dislocated jaw. "Any other abilities I should know of?"

Janet's hand reached down and as his hand went downward, it got increasingly bigger until it grew to the size of the swimming pool. "Does this count? I can make it so that a particular part gets bigger or smaller."

Su Yang was speechless. 'It's amazing, how cool is that!'

Looking at how invincible Janet looked, Su Yang only had one thought in mind. 'Boy do I want this ability. If I can't become a waterman, I can be a fireman! If I can't be a fireman, I can be an earthman! That's what true superpowers look like!

'All the weird abilities I have from before aren't as colas what Janet has! Her powers are the kind that transcends what mere mortals could do. It was like the ones in movies and comics!

Looking at Janet, Su Yang became extremely interested in special abilities for the first time! However, to give himself that ability, he had to have the most critical thing — Silver Points! After all, only silver points could grant him abilities. No other points could do such a thing.

To complete his silver mission, he'd have to spend or invest all five million within the next fifteen days.

Su Yang was engrossed. 'Don't f*cking say two weeks. I'm going to do it today! I'm not going to do anything else today! Let's get this done!'

Chapter 272 A Call From Longteng Jiayuan's Boss

Thinking that way, Su Yang restrained his excitement and reached out to squeeze Janet's hand, only to realize that it actually felt quite… meaty! 'Such a big piece of meat… If a pig got this ability, the family wouldn't have to worry about pork any longer… The price of pork has gone up lately… 'Although… Wouldn't it be water-infused pork?'

Su Yang watched with gluttony as Janet slowly shrunk before asking him, "Where did all that water of yours go?" Janet replied, "I saved the water. I can either put the water back or slowly absorb it." Su Yang continued, "So you now have a function to store water?"

Janet nodded, causing a glimmer to appear in Su Yang's eyes. When he looked at Janet, it was like seeing a huge piece of meat. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't absorb abilities from others, he'd definitely think of getting Janet to transfer this ability to him. After all, this was the kind of superhuman ability that should be labeled as a superpower. With his burning desire for Janet's new ability, Su Yang left the swimming pool. On the one hand, he wanted to give Janet some space to test his new ability out but on the other hand, he was preparing himself to complete his silver mission.

After all, the only way he could obtain Silver Points to add to himself was from completing Silver Missions.

When he got out of the pool, Su Yang called his parents immediately. The first thought that crossed his mind now that he had money that needed to be spent was to spend it on his parents.

The call was answered by Su Yang's mother.

When Su Yang said he started his own business, opened two companies, and made a little money, Su Yang's mother took some time to digest the information. If he hadn't told her all these things, she would've thought he didn't have enough money to eat and was calling her because he had a fever. Fortunately, Su Yang explained to her that he really started a company and it was making money. Even then, Madam Su didn't fully trust him.

However, once he managed to convince her, she was a flurry of emotions. She was shocked on one hand, but proud on the other. 'I never would've thought that my son would tell me that he's started several companies silently. From living in the village all these years, the one thing I realized was that the people who founded companies were all big bosses! 'I'm so proud of my son… Ever since he was a young boy to this moment, he's always been the best!' Even so, Su Yang's mother still kept putting it off when he wanted to give her money. She told him that she hadn't spent the money he had given her in the past so giving her so much was useless. However, since Su Yang insisted on giving her more, she finally relented after he persuaded her for almost half a day although the amount was only 6,000 yuan.

She used the 6,000 yuan and built Su Yang a tiled room for him next to his old house so he'd have a home when he returned and could directly get married.

It didn't feel ridiculous at all to Su Yang. He only felt a warm sadness in his heart. This was, in essence, the only wish mothers had. They'd sacrifice food and clothes for the sake of their children, planning and making considerations for them all the way.

To her, she might still not understand that houses in Shanghai could range from a million to ten million. She also didn't understand that girls nowadays would never follow a boy and live in a village as they'd instinctively want to plan for a good future for their children as they'd always want the best for them.

According to her, there'd always be ups and downs. One shouldn't get too cocky when they were at their peak. However, don't be impatient and leave some room for savings. At the same time, one shouldn't be discouraged even when they hit rock bottom. Instead, they should use the savings they had leftover from the previous years and make a comeback. Su Yang quietly listened to his mother's teachings and chatted with her for a while longer before hanging up the phone. After hanging up the phone, Su Yang transferred a total of 60,000 yuan to his mother. Since his parents were quite reluctant to spend his money, he gave them a little more so they'd be a little more at ease with a larger amount in hand.

He didn't give them more because being 'rich' isn't necessarily a good thing, especially in the village. For rural areas like where his parents stayed, endless trouble would plague homes who suddenly became rich.

60,000 yuan wasn't a lot of money. Nobody would miss that sum of money and it would lessen those who would ask them for the money. At the very least, that money would improve his parents' quality of life.

'Didn't they want a tiled house for themselves? In that case, they should go ahead and do it! It doesn't matter if I return to live with them in the future, or if they'll come to Shanghai to live with me. The most important thing was their happiness. Hanging up the phone, Su Yang transferred another 500,000 yuan to a card of his own that he planned to leave to his parents when he went visiting the next time. The money would be for emergencies and would be in a card. They could use it if they wanted to, or save it for their retirement if they didn't want to spend it there and then.

After doing this, Su Yang looked at the Silver Mission in the system. The system stated that he had spent 5.21 million from the 10 million he was supposed to spend.

'Huh? Didn't I just give my parent's 60,000? Why is it 5.21 million now?'

Su Yang had calculated his spending and thought that the system should've included the 500,000 he intended to give his parents. 'Is the thought of giving my money away considered spending as well? It isn't a bug, is it? Thinking along this line of thought, Su Yang transferred another 500,000 to a second card and mumbled, "This is for my second son!"

"Beep!" A prompt from the system appeared before Su Yang (Warning! Cheating detected in Silver Mission.]

Su Yang was speechless. 'So… It's got to be the kind of giving that was voluntary. One where you don't intend to get the money back…' Su Yang was convinced as it seemed like there really wasn't any shortcut to it.

Thinking of giving away more money, he couldn't help but think of Wang Shan again. With that, he withdrew the 200,000 yuan of ill-gotten gains from Chen Ye's safe with the intention of giving the money to her father as a good deed. 'I wonder if this counts?'

Deep in thought, he sent Xu Lu a message. [Xu Lu, do you have the contact number for Wang Shan's parents? I'd like to get in touch.)

At this time, Xu Lu was at work in a boutique near her school. However, since the school was on its break, there were fewer customers in the boutique so she looked rather bored.

Taking out a mirror, Xu Lu looked at herself. In the mirror, she saw that she had a charm rarely seen in girls at her age. Seductive eyes, pale red lips, a delicate face and a banging figure. She was the kind of girl who would get suspected of something even if she told people she was a student in a 985 school. After all, she was too flirtatious and beautiful and didn't quite look like a bully from a prestigious university. Instead, she looked like a delicate vase who had been getting average grades from when she was younger.

She was supposed to be on a plane home to meet her parents during the school holidays but she stayed in Shanghai because of Su Yang. To be honest, she was rather materialistic and would rather be nothing but a rich wife that had gorgeous clothes, not having to work while doing whatever she wanted.

Su Yang was the one she was interested in. He founded two popular apps being used in their school along with two other companies from scratch. In her conscientious search for information, she discovered that Su Yang went from being penniless and broke to having at least tens of millions of yuan within just half a year.

He was clearly a potential stock in the market that showcases the strength of stocks with superior performance!

That was why she was so enthusiastic when she first met him. It was because she truly believed that Su Yang was lightyears beyond Qu Xuan! To top it all off, she deliberately made herself appear weak and mercurial when Wang Shan's affairs came to light to attract Su Yang's attention.

Because of this, Su Yang got closer to her from Wang Shan's affairs.

On the day of the holiday, Xu Lu's heart got even more excited when she saw a young master attempting to befriend Su Yang while addressing him as Young Master Su. She felt like this was as close as she was going get in her quest to marry into a rich family.

After thinking about it, she decided to remain here during the holidays and stayed in school, wanting to take advantage of the holidays to get in touch with Su Yang and develop their relationship.

However, her plan was delayed because she couldn't think of a good reason to look for him.

'Do I have coffee with him? That's too cliché, right?

'A movie? Nah, it's too fast for that…

'I can't ask him out for a dance, can I?' Xu Lu was annoyed that she could only look for opportunities to get closer to him while working! Just as she was drowning in thoughts, her WeChat got a notification and she nonchalantly picked up her phone.

However, she brightened up the moment she saw the name on the WeChat notification. She sat up straight, opened her WeChat and was about to reply when she stopped.

She bit her light red lips and thought for a moment before slowly typing a line. (Yes. But I don't know if they're willing to meet with you. Is there something you're looking for them for?]

After a while, Su Yang replied, (I feel quite a lot of pity for them due to Wang Shan's incident. So, I wanted to show them some gratitude and support them to let them live a little better.] Xu Lu rolled her eyes as she replied, [Didn't you give them some money in the past?] Su Yang sent a message. (Oh, this time it's given on behalf of the company.)

Xu Lu asked him, [Is it convenient for you to tell me how much?] Su Yang answered, [200,000. It's a little token of appreciation.) Xu Lu's eyes lit up. '200,000… Giving that to an unknown person just because of sympathy. He really is a rich man.'

Xu Lu was now even more enthusiastic.

With Xu Lu's help, Su Yang contacted Wang Shan's parents and gave them the 200,000 yuan of Chen Shao's ill-gotten gains. Then, he received a bunch of thanks, as well as an invitation from them. Xu Lu wanted to have dinner with him on Wang Shan's behalf.

Su Yang's mind was completely preoccupied with spending money so he rejected her immediately. After sending the money over, Su Yang looked at the Silver Mission once more, realizing that he had now spent 5.41 million. 'As expected, the 200,000 I stole belongs to me

However, he had no regret. The most important thing was to follow your heart. Besides, Su Yang wouldn't feel right if he spent the money on himself so Wang Shan's parents were the best people to spend the money on. After all, Chen Ye owed this to them…

He saw that there was still 4.59 million from the 10 million remaining. Thinking that this 4 million shouldn't be wasted, he decided to invest it into short-term vehicles so he wouldn't have cashflow problems.

'What should I do?'

Su Yang was quietly pondering, and half a heartbeat later, he brightened up. 'Huh… Seems like this is a good idea! If I use this method, I'd probably be done with it soon!

At the same time, in Longteng Jiayuan. The owner of Longteng Jiayuan, who hadn't slept all night was sitting in the study on the second floor of Villa No. 1 in Longteng Jiayuan while quietly smoking a cigarette. After a moment, his phone rang and he picked it up, quietly listening to the information being narrated to him from the other end of the phone. From time to time, he'd reply.

"Ah, so that's it.

"Got it.

"So Shanghai has never heard of him, right?" Then, he half-heartedly hung up the phone, tugged at his bowtie that was a little tight, stood up, and went to the glass panel that stretched from the floor to the ceiling. He looked at the cluster of villas for quite some time silently.

After a long time, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

Ten seconds later, the phone was answered on the other end, and a clear voice sounded, "Hello?" He said in his slightly hoarse voice, "Su Yang, is it? I'm Zhao Liao, the owner of Longteng Jiayuan. I feel like there's some misunderstanding between us, and I… I want to talk to you."

Chapter 273 Teasing the Boss of Longteng Jiayuan While Completing the Silver Mission!

Su Yang's voice was heard from the earpiece, albeit a little higher in pitch, "Who's that?" Zhao Xiao's eagle eyes were trained at the view of the villa outside the curtainwalls of the villa as he replied with a steady voice. "I'm Zhao Xiao, the owner of Longteng Jiayuan. "Oh. No, I'm not interested in any insurance. Beep… Beep… Beep…" Zhao Xiao was speechless. After losing his mind, Zhao Xiao chuckled and dialed Su Yang's number again. The other side of the phone once again came from Su Yang's clear voice, "Hello? Who is it?" Zhao Xiao replied, "I'm Zhao Xiao." Su Yang sarcastically replied, "Oh. Thanks, but I'm not interested in swimming or fitness lessons as well. Beep… Beep… Beep…" Zhao Xiao began to wonder if this guy was just really mouthy and is replying like this on purpose. However, he was patient enough to make a third call.

He didn't even let Su Yang open his mouth the moment the call connected but he immediately said, "I know who you are, and you know who I am. So tell me, how much money are you willing to settle for." He was forced to be direct. On the other end, Su Yang stopped for a moment and replied, "I don't want money. I've got too much money now and don't have anywhere to spend it."

Zhao Xiao was puzzled.

He looked puzzled and confused at the same time. The death of the head of security last night had been gone over by a doctor and was determined to be an accident. However, he still rushed to the scene and interrogated the security guards about the recent events because of his cautious nature.

When the security guard spoke about Su Yang, he sensed something wrong because according to the security guards, this Su Yang was very evil and ruthless. He had injured and knocked out three security guards before, and later even disabled seven of them.

This time, the head of security called Su Yang right before the accident. As a result, he got into an accident that very night. Although these incidents didn't directly prove that the head of security's accident was related to Su Yang, they couldn't find any relevant information despite checking the surveillance cameras around Longteng Jiayuan. However, Zhao Xiao's intuition told him otherwise. It was especially so for this name. He felt like Su Yang sounded rather familiar to him so he paid more attention.

It was then that he recalled. Su Yang was the newcomer who was rumored to have 'punched Jiang Yan' and 'killed Chen Ye' in the inner circles of Shanghai.

Because of this, he got some people to conduct an investigation into Su Yang's identity. As a result, the information he unearthed told him that Su Yang didn't even have any kind of background. Although Zhao Xiao was suspicious and trusted his informants, he still felt nervous. He was wondering if Su Yang had some kind of shocking background that he couldn't unearth so he wanted to reconcile with Su Yang through a call. 'What kind of background does this Su Yang have?' As a result, the three phone calls completely upturned all of Zhao Xiao's initial assumptions and rhetorics.

For a moment, Zhao Xiao felt like he was speaking to a comedian.

'Are there still people who didn't want money but still spent money like there was no tomorrow? Was this the proverbial saying of having too much money without knowing where to spend it?

Since it was quite rare for Su Yang to stop hanging up on him, he was patient and said calmly, "You can buy a car, a house, or even a luxury item." Su Yang merely replied, "That's a little too… little." Zhao Xiao was speechless. Just as he was in the midst of being at a loss for words, Su Yang suddenly said, "I'm planning on speculating in stocks. What do you think?" Zhao Xiao replied, "Yeah. I can recommend you a stock, Purple Technology.

This is a stock in the secondary market and my friend has been lurking for a long time in preparation to be speculated by people in the banks. Su Yang sounded a little surprised, "Really?" Zhao Xiao replied, "Really." Su Yang thanked him promptly, "Thanks! Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep…" Zhao Xiao was speechless. 'Did he hang up, again?' Zhao Xiao squeezed the phone tightly and refrained from calling a fourth time. He looked out of the window, held the glasses on his hawk nose, and muttered, "Is this his bottom line or is there still more to it? However, as it seems right now, Old Zhang's death really does have something to do with him. I'm going to have to prepare ahead of time."

In the virtual space, Su Yang was looking at an interface while performing a video authentication to open a stock account after hanging up the phone.

That was right. The solution he came up with was to go into stock trading! When the system introduced the Silver Mission to him, it hinted to him that investing in a company was also considered to be a form of spending/

So, after thinking about it endlessly, he thought to himself. 'What about stock trading? Although the stocks are in the secondary market, it's still considered to be an investment in a company. Would that count?'

While he was pondering, Zhao Xiao called him. Since Su Yang had his mind set on completing the Silver Mission, he didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Xiao despite knowing who he was.

After all, Zhao Xiao was already dead to him so what was the point of talking to a dead man? He was just a liar and after adding points to himself, he could just go over and immediately take him out. He didn't expect that Zhao Xiao would treat him so well to actually tell him about a stock that he could make money on. In Su Yang's mind, this was one of the measures he set up before calling him. After all, he'd probably expose any and all secrets around him if he were to die.

With that, he'd make sure that he'd show Zhao Xiao a good time when he eventually takes him out.

After opening an account for stocks online, Su Yang clumsily followed the steps and clicked a button on the software. Then, he logged on, thought about it, and searched for the stock counter for Purple Technology, and added it to his chosen stocks.

Once the account was opened and the stocks were selected, Su Yang began to teach himself to buy some stocks. However, he didn't buy a lot since he didn't know the rules. So, he added 10,000 yuan to his account and bought 10,000 yuan of China Construction Bank's stocks.

Although he was very green when it came to stocks, even a newbie knew that banking counters were lower risk compared to the rest. He wasn't a fool. Why would he buy into a counter his enemy recommended? Who would know if there were any traps set up for him? After all, this was just an experiment to buy stocks and see if it counted toward his Silver Mission. So, he just took a chance and bought whatever he wanted.

20 seconds later, the transaction was complete and a notification sounded in Su Yang's ears. Then, a prompt appeared in front of him. (Possible cheating detected.]

Su Yang shook his head. 'I guess it doesn't work.'

Just as he was about to give up on buying stocks to complete his Silver Mission, a prompt popped up in front of him. (Short-term investment detected. Should funds be locked-in for more than 15 days, it'll count toward the Silver Mission.] 'What's a lock-in? Can it get the job done?!' Su Yang brightened up. 'But… what is it?' Su Yang went online and looked up the definition of a lock-in. 'Ah, so I can't sell the stock for fifteen days?' Su Yang calculated. 'If the stock falls by 10% a day, it'll fall 70% at most after fifteen days. That's not too bad.

'However, if I put it into banking counters, it'll probably lose only 10% with the fluctuation of banking counters.' Su Yang felt like that was an acceptable risk to him. 'Let's do it!

However, despite managing to buy some stocks, Su Yang still looked for other ways to manage his money. He attempted to go into money market funds, a reverse takeover of government bonds, fixed deposits, gold, and more. Aside from gold, which also had a 15-day lock-in period, other financial instruments were all considered to be cheating by the system. Tormented by the thought, Su Yang tried to calm himself down. 'It seems like buying stocks will still be the most reliable way.' Although he didn't understand the criteria for the system to judge something as a method of cheating, completing the task was good. So, he decided to use the stock market to 'launder' his money. He'd put 5 million into the stock market and lock it up for half a month. Then, he'd take it out and liquidate it into cash. The plan was beautiful. 'However… If I really did put 5 million into the market, am I going to let the market decide if I'm going to make or lose money?' Su Yang was a little reluctant.

After thinking about it, Su Yang felt like he had to consult somebody who understood what he was planning. So, he held his phone and went into Little Deeny's room.

As he pushed the door open, he saw Little Deeny kneeling on the floor. She was facing the front with her chest out and back arched. Her hands were holding her heels behind her back as she remained in that position quietly with eyes closed. It made her look like an arch in the shape of a capital D. In front of her was a screen suspended in mid-air with a line of code seemingly typed at lightning speed. It seemed like she was doing the same thing she did in the past. She was doing yoga while studying her artificial intelligence system. Based on his previous experience, Su Yang refrained from disturbing Little Deeny. Instead, he waited in silence.

Surely enough, Little Deeny opened her eyes, and he saw blue streams of data flowing through her eyes. Still, a lovely smile blossomed on her face as she saw Su Yang. "Master, did you want to see me for something?" Su Yang walked up to her and showed her the interface. "I'm about to trade stocks, and I wanted to ask if you can operate it." Little Deeny looked at the interface several times and said, "I can operate it. I have a super-fast processor now so it's much faster than ordinary people that speculate the stock market."

She thought about it and suggested, "Why don't I separate a core processor and dedicate it to your stock trading and daily life?" Su Yang asked, "Won't it affect your development of the artificial intelligence?" Little Deeny nodded. "It'll have an impact but it shouldn't be that significant. After all, you don't speculate the stock market at every waking moment."

Su Yang felt like it made sense.

Then, Su Yang asked, "Do you know anything about stocks? Do you have any idea about stocks that could go up?"

This time, Little Deeny shook her head. "This, I don't understand. If the artificial intelligence is developed and I can conduct analysis on a large enough dataset, I should be able to extract the probability chart of a particular counter going up or down. However, it isn't at that stage yet."

Su Yang began hesitating. 'Did I really about to put 5 million into the stock market for half a month and let fate take its course?'

At that moment, Little Deeny said, "Master, why don't you go and ask Little Hus? Doesn't it have [Opportunity Sniffing]? it might be able to help you." Su Yang brightened up. 'Why didn't I think of that?' With Little Deeny's pointers, Su Yang found Little Hus. The little guy was in the dog kennel holding an interface. On it was a picture of Janet.

Su Yang felt that he was hopeless. Su Yang brought Little Hus to the living room, opened the interface of the stock market, and asked it if it could sniff out the rise and fall of the stocks. Little Hus twitched his nose, sniffed for a while, and replied, "Yes, I can… However, the scent is too weird! It changes too quickly. One moment, it's there. Then, it's gone! I've never encountered this kind of scent before, and it's all over the place!" 'Uhh… What's going on?'

Su Yang thought about it, picked a separate stock, and let Little Hus have a go at it. However, nothing changed. 'Doesn't this work?' Su Yang figured that it was probably because the stock market was a zero-sum game. Through every minute and second, there were changes in the stock markets. There could be changes in the entire market at any moment which explained why Little Hus' (Opportunity Sniffing] was a little out of whack. He immediately said, "Why don't you just choose for me according to the strength of the scent." Su Yang felt like he shouldn't have to think too much about it. After all, his goal was to complete the Silver Mission so just making a small profit would be good enough.

After getting the order from Su Yang, Little Hus went through hundreds of stocks one after the other and finally, it selected 20 of them which had the strongest scent for Su Yang. Su Yang selected a few stocks from the list of 20 that had a low market capitalization, P/E ratio, and risk profile. Then, he made an order through Little Deeny's core processor.

"Try buying them in batches at a lower price.". After receiving the order, the core processor began to rapidly operate. Time passed, and as the remaining 4.59 million of the silver mission bought the corresponding stocks in batches, a system prompt finally sounded in Su Yang's mind. [Beep! 15 days of mandatory lockout succeeded. 'Silver mission: Spend All 10 million' completed. Please take a look at the rewards.]

Finally, he completed the second Silver Mission.

Chapter 274 Class A Silver Ability: Hands of Fate

Looking at the information on the screen, Su Yang felt like his dream of becoming some sort of 'fire-man' was closer than ever. 'I wonder. Will this stupid system will randomly give me a good ability?' However, Su Yang felt like he should do some research into what a lock-in was before he added any points to himself.

So, he went into his stock account and clicked on the sell button, only to find it grayed out.

Failing to do what he wanted, he went over to Little Deeny's core processor to try getting it to sell some of the stock.

However, just as he attempted to, three notifications prompted him in his mind.

(Beep!]

[Warning! Cheating attempt detected! Please stop this operation!) [If the lock-in period is violated, the corresponding Silver Points will be deducted. Should there be insufficient Silver Points, 5 Bronze Points will be deducted. Should there be insufficient Bronze Points, 25 Random Points will be deducted] (Should there be insufficient Random Points, the items gained from point addition will be randomly repossessed. Should there be insufficient items for repossession, a mandatory mission will be enacted until the sum is repaid.)

Su Yang was speechless.

'I was just trying it out randomly! It's not like I was really going to do anything. These three notifications scared the bejeezus out of me when they suddenly rang in my mind! 'I'll keep the money locked-in… We'll see what happens in half a month.' At that moment, Little Deeny's core processor alerted Su Yang. (Master, all domestic stocks are T1. That means you can only sell them the day after the date of their purchase. You can't sell them today so the button was grayed out.] 'Oh, is that so?'

Su Yang, the one who thought he was a stock market whisperer, was at a loss. He thought the system was messing with him. Since the lock-in process was bug-free, Su Yang stopped fiddling with it and began to prepare for his Silver Point addition with a clear mind. However, just as he was about to open the system, [Heaven's Eye) suddenly activated and an image appeared before his eyes.

In the image was a spectacled man with sharp eyes and an aquiline nose.

The man was standing by a curtain-walled room, looking out at a cluster of villas while holding his cellphone. "Yes, it's Su Yang. I've checked him out and he doesn't seem to come from nobility. I'm going to do it."

"I knew there was a chance that I wouldn't be able to dig out any information, so I attempted to reconcile with him in the beginning. However, I've just gotten hold of Old Zhang's phone and found his memo, where it was written that he suspected Su Yang might have evidence against us. He's been ignoring my efforts at reconciling with him so we'll have to push a little harder.

"I need your help…"

Then, the image came to an abrupt halt.

Su Yang frowned. This was obviously the Zhao Xiao, and Old Zhang was probably the head of security. 'Seems like he's calling in his connections in Shanghai… I didn't expect him to want to make a move before me.' In fact, Su Yang wanted to finish off the head of security before taking care of Zhao Xiao last night. His purpose of looking into the memories of the head of security was to look for the ones related to his intention to hurt his parents. However, he wasn't able to find any memories related to Zhao Xiao in Old Zhang's memories. Without a name, there was no way for him to bring Zhao Xiao to light. Both Su Yang and Janet had already used the hourglass last night so they were prone to be mentally affected if they used it again within such a short period.

Even if they were to use it for a second time, Su Yang wasn't sure if Zhao Xiao was close to the villas in Longteng Jiayuan. After all, in Old Zhang's memories, Zhao Xiao always seemed to stay in Shanghai to maintain the relationships he had with the second-generation masters. Besides, Su Yang's plan that night was to kill the head of security with a murderous bear before using his invisibility to sneak the bear away. Because of that, Su Yang held back on making the first move on Zhao Xiao.

Instead, he was initially thinking of going to Longteng Jiayuan once again within one or two days to look for Zhao Xiao so he could get rid of him.

Who would've known that Zhao Xiao would send himself to the door on a silver platter. Once he knew of Zhao Xiao's name, the guy was already dead to Su Yang. That was the reason why Su Yang ridiculed him so openly and carelessly, adding more salt to the wound as if it was nothing. How would he have known that Zhao Xiao was already preparing to make a move against him? 'Geez, you're so slow… I'll deal with him once I'm done adding Silver Points!'

Thinking along that line of thought, Su Yang opened the system and made preparations to add points to himself. Su Yang's eyes shone as he looked at the list of completed tasks on the system interface that were lined in silver light. This was the Silver Point he had been thinking day and night about. This was the only way he could turn himself into a superhero!

'I hope the system is working well! Can it please give me an amazing ability from the point addition?! One that can make me grow bigger or smaller just like Janet… And make me more handsome as well!'

He clicked (View Reward) with excitement.

A beep sounded in his ears. (Beep! Silver Point 1]

Su Yang was incomparably familiar with the Silver Point after his last experience with it. It had three functions. It could help the user obtain a special ability, morph their body parts, or allow one to better affect the psyche of others.

Naturally, the only one that interested Su Yang was the first option.

He then went to the toilet, faced the mirror, and turned the point addition system on without hesitating.

Once that was done, a translucent ] appeared above his head.

He stretched his arm and tapped on it, causing a prompt to appear before him. (Please choose your point addition method.) Su Yang had already experienced this in the past so he didn't even bother looking at the options as he made a choice. (1. Special Ability.) The system prompted him. (Please confirm secondary addition to personal special ability. The probability of failure increases progressively. Failure will remove all benefits from Silver Point addition.]

'Huh? So there's a limit to the number of times a Silver Point can be added… 'I guess I have to complete the gold mission first if I want a special ability and three bonus points…' With that in mind, Su Yang clicked on the [No] button.

He was incomparably important to his little monsters, what more to himself. He definitely had to have some kind of insurance when it came to something like this.

He went to the store and bought himself a Guardian Talisman that he pasted on his forehead.

Once the talisman was applied, Su Yang saw a shade of red flash before his eyes. Once he came to his senses, the Guardian Talisman had disappeared and the mirror looked incomparably festive. It was as if Janet was covered in a red glow as well Once under the protection of the Guardian Talisman, Su Yang clicked on the translucent ] above his head.

(Please confirm secondary addition to personal special ability. The probability of failure increases progressively. Failure will remove all benefits from Silver Point addition.]

He clicked on [Yes).

Once he did that, a platinum-colored box appeared out of thin air like the previous time, with three words written on it. (Please, draw one.) Su Yang reached in with his hand and found two balls the size of ping-pong balls. This time, Su Yang was feeling a little cheeky so he attempted to go against what the system said. He grabbed both balls with both hands, wanting to see if he could take them out.

However, he soon realized that he couldn't remove his hands from the box as the opening only allowed for one ball to be removed. 'An experience like this… I'm sure those who've played the game where they had to remove gold from a box with a hole that can only fit a single gold bar felt the same.

After the realization that he couldn't go against the system, Su Yang grabbed a ping pong ball. There was a word written on the ball. [Ability.]

'Great, I got an ability! How wonderful.'

Unless he was extremely talented, Su Yang still preferred an ability. After all, he could switch them on or off by choice. Just as he was deep in thought, the ball in his hand disappeared into thin air as a second box appeared before him.

Su Yang reached in gently and found that there were six balls inside. Grabbing one at random, he found the letter A on it.

"Huh? It's an A. If this is an ability rating, then getting an A should be better than the last time when I got a B! When he got (Heaven's Eye) in the past, it was already enough to surprise him. To get something even better than that was simply amazing! Su Yang couldn't help but look forward to it!

The ping pong ball and the box disappeared again. With that, the final box appeared before Su Yang with a capital A written on it.

Su Yang reached in and began grabbing for a ball. The A-grade box was no different from the B-grade box he got the last time. It still had a small opening and a seemingly infinite space within, filled to the brim with balls the size of ping-pong balls. Since he didn't have a clue what the balls were about, he simply grabbed onto a random ball. When he took it out, he read the words on it. (Silver Ability. Hands of Fate.] 'Eh? Is that what I can do? What's this power? Where are my fire-man abilities? Am I not going to morph into a lump of rock? What about turning into Ironman? 'Why the hell not?!

'What are these Hands of Fate?'

Su Yang felt like his dreams of becoming Superman was shattered! 'Meh… I guess you can't expect the system to bend to your will. I should probably save up some Silver Points for a future addition and extract an ability when my (Lucky Disfiguring Brick[ comes off cooldown.

Just as he was making plans in his mind, the ball in his band blossomed with an intense light that enveloped Su Yang's hands.

He could only feel a burning sensation as his hands burned with hot and raw pain.

Knowing full well that his hands were now being burned, he gritted his teeth through the pain and waited patiently for the ability to complete its process.

After some time, the burning sensation ceased and a platinum interface appeared before Su Yang.

(Silver Ability: Hands of Fate]

Description: When you use this ability, the earth is your chessboard, and its entities, your pawns. You can move any object or creature to any position at will.

Restriction 1: You can only use this ability on things within a 100 km radius of you.

After reading through the description for the ability. Su Yang couldn't stop his mouth from opening wide. 'This seems… It's pretty cool!

'This ability can be further upgraded?' Su Yang pondered the name of this ability and felt that this ability of his would grow even more powerful in the future!

'What an A-list ability!'

Su Yang looked at the silver ability in front of him and pondered. 'Sigh… I've already added the Silver Points and gained an ability. Although I didn't get to turn into Superman, I still feel quite sh*tty…

'So… Shouldn't I go over and rid myself of the owner of Longteng Jiayuan, Zhao Xiao?!'

Chapter 275 The Terrible Thing About The New Silver Ability: Time Suspension!

Since the ability seemed like it was perfect for use in a sneak attack, sneaking up on people on his own and not having Janet involved seemed to be much better.

After all, who'd be able to prove he did something if they were in a situation where he hadn't even been at the scene of the incident?

Thinking like that, Su Yang planned to try the ability out. He didn't want to be scratching around like a blind person for his raincoat invisibility if something were to happen.

Su Yang even saw a speck of dust through the mirror. It was suspended in front of him, remaining stationary in the air.

He also felt like his body was incomparably heavy. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and he was unable to move his body. Even his hands seemed like they had been trapped in an iron mold so he couldn't move them.

He gritted his teeth and pressed down with his hands, using all the strength he could muster, only to hear a loud bang. "Boom!"

The sky lit up with a flash of lightning, and black clouds rolled in from all directions, plunging him into darkness…

When Su Yang saw light again, he found himself in front of a huge 'sandbox'. On it was houses that seemed like building blocks, along with trees, roads, and people who stood stationary on the street.

At this moment, his neighborhood seemed like a candy box of buildings to him. It was as if he could, if he wanted, to flick them away with the flick of a finger.

While deep in thought, Su Yang stretched out his hands and realized that it was casting a shadow over the neighborhood. It was like his hand was a five-fingered mountain, and the whole neighborhood was a child's toy.

Su Yang tried his hardest to move it, but it seemed like it was stuck to the ground. He couldn't

Because of that, Su Yang hesitated and tried to click on a building instead. Suddenly, his view zoomed in, and he was now at the building.

Just like a ghost, he could see all the scenes in the building. He entered a random room and found a familiar person stationary on the couch.

She had a baby face, looking a bit childish but cute.

Su Yang was a little surprised to look around the room. He realized that this random spot was actually Qu Xiaomeng's home. 'It's too big a coincidence, right?'

Su Yang sized up Qu Xiaomeng, who had disposable gloves on both hands as she dug into Korean sweet and spicy fried chicken. Probably from not paying attention, a piece of fried chicken escaped her hands and fell toward her chest. The moment time stood still was the exact moment her fried chicken fell toward her chest.

Su Yang looked in front of him and saw that the piece of fried chicken would land on Qu her clothes. Due to Qu Xiaomeng's well-known 'assets', the piece of fried chicken would probably bounce a few times before it was caught by her clothes.

'Well… This is too sloppy.'

As the thought crossed his mind, Su Yang flicked his hand and the stationary piece of fried chicken flew toward Qu Xiaomeng's hand.

"Huh? So I can move these items around without touching them? 'That's great. It doesn't leave fingerprints.

'But… Can I touch the object, I wonder?'

With that in mind, Su Yang pinched Qu Xiaomeng's face. This silly teacher. I never knew this English teacher had quite the smooth and tender face.'

Su Yang tugged on Qu Xiaomeng's clothes and found that he could also tug on her clothes.

"This…

"This item is too awesome, right?

'What if I do something bad?

'But five minutes doesn't seem to let me do much.'

As a result, Su Yang experimented with Qu Xiaomeng and found that he could actually make her move, adjusting her like an object with merely his will. The only limitation was that he couldn't control her to do things that were beyond the limits of her original body.

For example, Qu Xiaomeng's body was rather average in the flexibility department. So, even if Su Yang wanted to make her do a split, she could only go down a little before her body gave in.

After the test, Su Yang willed Qu Xiaomeng to return to her original state, and naturally, he remembered to put the piece of fried chicken back into her hand.

After Su Yang finished testing all this, five minutes had ended, and the endless black clouds once again enveloped him from all directions, leaving Su Yang with darkness in front of him.

The moment his ability ended, time returned to normal. Dust began to fall, passersbys began to walk, and the surrounding noise started once more.

Qu Xiaomeng, who was at home watching TV while eating fried chicken, was also busy trying to catch the fried chicken that was about to slip away. However, she found that the fried chicken was still in her hand just as she was about to reach for it.

She was a little confused. 'Huh? I just remembered that the fried chicken slipped out of my hands, why is it still in my hand? Did I recall wrongly?'

Qu Xiaomeng looked up at the sky for a few seconds and couldn't figure out the confusing incident.

However, since the fried chicken didn't fall on her clothes, Qu Xiaomeng stopped worrying about the trivial matter and continued watching TV like the optimistic person she had always been.

However, when she was watching TV, she felt a slight pain in her crotch. It was as if she had just done a split.

In the next building, Su Yang was rolling around in pain, covering his right hand with his left after 'saving her clothes' and testing his 'hands of fate'.

'Godd*amn it! It hurts so damn much! This stupid power mentioned breaking a finger. It didn't mention that my finger would snap just like that!

Although there was no blood, the pain was real! His finger had disappeared into thin air like it was a special object.

Su Yang was in a cold sweat as pain numbed his body. He rested for almost half an hour before the pain slowed down a little. However, he still felt a tingling pain where his finger was broken.

He didn't think that testing an ability like that would make him go so crazy with pain. This was much more ruthless than the (Lucky Disfiguring Brick). At most, the brick was like a slap on the face. However, his finger was broken this time, and the pain would last him an entire day.

Taking in a deep breath of cold air, Su Yang resolved in his heart that he wouldn't use this ability unless there was a critical moment in the future!

If you were wondering what a critical moment was… Perhaps, he would have to deal with Zhao Xiao.

Su Yang wasn't going to delay any longer. Since he had already broken a finger, and breaking one or two fingers was going to hurt all the same, he decided to screw Zhao Xiao over since he was already hurting anyway!

At the same time, in Villa 1 of Longteng Jiayuan, Zhao Xiao expressionlessly hung up the phone.

He had just sought help from a second-generation wealthy young master who was usually a good friend. However, after learning that he wanted to make an enemy of Su Yang, the young master refused without hesitation, saying that he didn't want to get involved in what was going on between them. Nobody was a fool. Although Zhao Xiao said that he had investigated Su Yang and that he didn't have a strong background in Shanghai, who would believe it? Nobody would know if Zhao Xiao said that on purpose or not.

So, after testing the waters with young masters that he wasn't as close with, Zhao Xiao realized that those without tightly bound interests couldn't be relied in times like these. However, Zhao Xiao didn't place much hope on these guys since the very start anyway. He was just taking the opportunity to test out a theory.

Even if they were unreliable, it doesn't mean that other people with related interests wouldn't be reliable.

So, Zhao Xiao adjusted the glasses on his hawk-like nose, picked up the phone, clicked the phone book icon, swiped down, and selected a number, and dialed it after testing the bunch of young masters.

"Beep… Beep… Beep…" The call was quickly answered.

Zhao Xiao said, "Brother Liu, yes. It's me, Zhao Xiao. There's been some trouble, and there's someone stirring things up."

"Right… He has the accounts in his hand. I need you to pressure him for me. Check to see if there are any problems with his taxes. He's got three or four companies in his possession, so there's no way he isn't having problems."

"Good. Thanks, Brother Liu, I'll do it as soon as possible."

Hanging up the phone, he flipped through the phone book and dialed a number again, "Hey, Sister An, it's me, Zhao Xiao. How do you feel about that pair of male models last time? Not bad? That's great, that's great."

"It's like this, we've had some trouble on our site, and we've lost the accounts."

"Calm down, I've already found the man. So I need a little help from your side to see if I can check if there are any problems with the finances of a few of his companies." "Okay, okay. You can rest assured."

Hanging up the second call, Zhao Xiao dialed another number. "Right. I need you to find a reason. Such a person obstructing public order, provoking trouble, and more. I'd lock him up for some time. Give me some time and I'll definitely resolve the matter satisfactorily." "Right, right. It's best to lock him up for a while longer. Okay, good. Please work hard to make this happen."

Zhao Xiao dialed number after number, each of which was numbers of dignified figures in Shanghai from every department imaginable. They would all target Su Yang and his companies.

He even made a call to the banker of Purple Technology, asking for a favor to suppress the stock prices of his company, preferably for more than half a month.

After making a bunch of phone calls, Zhao Xiao stood in front of the curtainwall in his villa and thought out loud about his plan, wondering if there was anything he had missed. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly and inexplicably thought of the head of security. Thinking about the tragic situation, Zhao Xiao bowed his head and hesitated for a long time before finally gritting his teeth. Then, he put down his phone, took out a delicate small phone from the drawer along with a brand new, unused sim card before inserting it into the phone.

He turned it on, and there was only one number in that phone. However, Zhao Xiao didn't dial it. Instead, he opened the call menu and manually entered a line of numbers.

The number dialed, and the mobile phone handset sounded. "Beep… Beep… Beep…" After a while, a powerful and strong voice came from the other side, "Young Master Feng, are you facing something you can't solve? Is that why you gave me a call? Aren't you doing well for yourself in Shanghai?"

Although he was addressed as Young Master Feng, Zhao Xiao was not surprised in the slightest. He said with an expressionless face, "I'm having a pretty good time. However, don't address me as Young Master Feng, my surname is now Zhao."

The middle-aged voice laughed and replied, "Sure, sure, sure. Your surname is now Zhao. I heard that you found some useless second-generation wealthy people in Shanghai and built a whole villa community. Now, you're specializing in underground businesses. If Old Feng finds out, I guess you'll really lose that Feng surname of yours."

Chapter 276 The Death Of Longteng Jiayuan's Boss's His True Identity!

Zhao Xiao's expression turned solemn as he lowered his voice and said, "You say it like I can still carry the Feng surname now! I'll never be allowed into the Feng family because I'm a bastard! Even if I die, I won't even be able to have the privilege to be buried in the family burial. So tell me, Is my surname so important?! Aren't his private dealings far worse than mine? Why else are you here?!"

Before he could finish his words, the voice on the other side replied sternly, "Mr. Feng. Please, watch your words!"

The two were clearly not on good terms. So, after taking a few deep breaths, Zhao Xiao didn't bother feigning politeness when he said, "I need you to send some people over to my side to help me dispose of someone."

The voice on the other side stopped for a moment. "All our people have a shady background and can only be used once."

Zhao Xiao replied, "I know. But… Zhang Tao is dead."

The voice on the other side was surprised, "Is Zhang Tao dead? He can go dozens of rounds even if he meets a professional boxer."

Zhao Xiao said in a deep voice, "Yes, but he's dead. He was obviously beaten before he died and was covered in wounds. I checked the injuries, and he was literally crushed before being beaten to a pulp."

The voice on the other side went silent for a moment before asking, "Do you have any

plans?"

After Zhao Xiao told him about the people he contacted prior to their phone call, he said, "I'll lay a trap for him to scorch his head. In the meantime, I'll send people to find the accounts and clues."

"After I find them, I expect your men to arrive and by then, I hope I'll be rid of him without a single trace at all." The person on the other side paused for a moment. "I've got to report this to Old Feng." Zhao Xiao chuckled. "Honestly, you're going to report this to my brother, right? I know. That was why I gave you and me time to stall in the past. The quicker you get here, the safer I'll be and the easier it'll be for things to be resolved."

"Also, don't bring any guys over. Shanghai's too strict."

From the other end of the line, the voice replied, "No problem! My people will arrive within three days!"

Zhao Xiao didn't hesitate in agreeing. "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, the haze on Zhao Xiao's face disappeared, and he looked at the villas of Longteng Jiayuan as he quietly contemplated. In reality, he wasn't a liar. The 'liar's' act he put on was just his disguised identity.

His identity couldn't be exposed because he was actually the illegitimate son of Feng Tianyou, an influential big shot in Huaxia… He had been living in hiding since he was born. Unable to join the Feng family, he had to constantly be on guard to protect himself against persecution from his brothers.

It was only until Feng Tianyou retired that the dispute over the succession ended. Once his eldest brother took over, the situation became a little safer for him.

Even then, he couldn't enter the Feng family because he had been marked as a bastard ever since the very beginning. Because of that, he left the capital and came to Shanghai, intending to live a life away from his family.

Although his identity was known to some circles of people, it wasn't supposed to see the light of day. He couldn't expose his identity that easily so he hid behind the identity of a 'liar' that uses his abilities to get in touch with the young and wealthy people in Shanghai.

Initially, he relied on information he gleaned from Shanghai to deceive some people.

However, it wasn't so easy when it came to fooling those in Huaxia. Huaxia was the second-largest metropolis and those in the upper echelons in Shanghai were also pivotal figures in Huaxia. These elites wouldn't be so easily fooled.

That was why he confessed his identity to a certain few as leverage to be accepted into their exclusive circle.

The young and wealthy of Shanghai and their circles were certain that he had some kind of background not for his ability to deceive. Instead, it was because he could guarantee them.

It didn't matter if he was Old Feng's illegitimate son or some big shot's cousin. All of that didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was his ability to get things done.

That was why he was able to make a name for himself in the elite circles of Shanghai wasn't because he was talkative, deceitful, and good at convincing the rich and wealthy of Shanghai. In fact, it was nothing like what the head of security, Zhang Tao thought at all.

The person he had just called was a person raised by the Feng family that was indebted to them. He specialized in illicit activities.

With them on the move, Su Yang was just like a piece of meat to Zhao Xiao.

Deep in thought, Zhao Xiao took out his cell phone once more and dialed a number. "Hello, Director Sun. I remember hearing that you're making an app called (In), right?"

"Looks like I remembered correctly… Right. Engaging in photo doodling and sharing."

"I don't know if you've heard of the Find Me app."

"Oh. You've heard of it, right? I don't know if you're interested, but I can give it to you…" … After chatting with the owner of the (In) app, Zhao Xiao hung up the phone with sky-high ambitions.

He recalled the plans he made. First, he'd target Su Yang's company to use up his energy. Then, he'd wait for the accounts and stall until the Feng family's reinforcements arrived.

Once these people arrived, Su Yang would be dead meat.

Once he was off the table, Zhao Xiao wouldn't have to worry about the accounts or the secrets he knew about. Even his business would be given away as a favor. 'What a lucky coup that I've planned for myself!'

Thinking of the matter, Zhao Xiao's gloomy and ruthless expression revealed a rare smile.

He looked outside and murmured, "Even if you really have a strong background, you'll have nothing once you're dead. Don't blame me. I didn't want to use a dishonest trick either, but… You were the one who started it."

"If you get lucky and survive, I'll leave Shanghai and go back to the Feng family. Then we'll arm wrestle to determine the victor. I hope you'll be an interesting opponent."

Just as he was thinking about the figure, feeling like he had everything under control, he suddenly felt a shadow envelop him!

When he looked up to see what it was in confusion, he saw five barbells weighing 25 kilograms each appearing out of nowhere on the ceiling above him!

As he watched in horror, his mind went black, unable to figure out how the barbells appeared above him.

It was then that…

Clang! The combined 125 kilograms worth of barbells hit him directly above his head.

Crack! The skull cracked as blood spurted onto the curtain wall he was standing in front of, dyeing it a crimson shade of red.

Zhao Xiao's body was found 20 minutes later by the security patrol.

The only thing they saw was the curtain wall splattered with red. It was only later that it was blood. With the head of security's incident as a precedent, the patrolling security immediately felt like something was wrong.

They rushed into the villa hurriedly only to find Zhao Xiao laid down in a pool of his own blood, his head severely deformed as barbells were seen scattered all over the floor while being covered in bloodstains.

The security guards looked at each other and could only see the fear in the other person's eyes One of them took a closer look at the barbells and asked, "Is-isn't this the barbell from our gym? How did it get here?!"

Nobody knew why.

Both their bosses got into trouble one after the other. They were both trembling in fear.

The lackeys for the head of security and Zhao Xiao who aided and abetted them in their criminal activities quietly packed their bags and ran away. For the others who didn't have an opinion about the matter, they were at a loss as to how they'd deal with the issue.

The final few who stayed on had no choice but to dial 110.

Soon, officers arrived and cordoned the scene off to begin their investigation of this bizarre murder.

As a result, they weren't even able to find a single clue despite their best efforts for almost half a day. The only thing pointing to any semblance of evidence was the barbells in the gym. However, the barbell was smudged with the fingerprints of several people, namely the security guards of Longteng Jiayuan.

It was the ones who had run away.

Since the murder had no further clues, the investigators took a closer look at Zhao Xiao's pocket and found a book that recorded the various illegal activities Longteng Jiayuan was involved in. It clearly recorded the illicit income, and the transfer of profits within Longteng Jiayuan each month. The on-site case investigators made quite the effort to immediately protect the clue as they began their investigation into the underground black market of Longteng Jiayuan.

After his death, the people who were in contact with Zhao Xiao in Shanghai halted all actions for the first time as they began erasing any and all forms of contact that linked them back to him.

Although the promises Zhao Xiao made before his untimely death were now no better than nonsense, he did say something right. "When people die, they leave nothing behind. No favors, clues, or leverage is left. Everything is gone.

Nobody would dare offend such a powerful opponent over a dead man. Unless… if it was his family.

Back at the capital. A black, low-key car slowly drove on the busy roads of Shanghai. In the back of the vehicle was a man bearing a slight resemblance to Zhao Xiao. He had a hawk-like nose and sharp eyes that were trained on a stack of documents.

Within a few moments, his cell phone rang.

Picking up the phone, the man narrowed his eyes and answered with a blank expression. A woman's voice sounded on the other side of the phone, "Feng Xiao has died in Shanghai. Before his death, he made a call to Feng Yi, saying that he was in danger. The old man's side…" The man replied sternly, "Eh?"

The woman stopped talking for a moment.

The man said with neither joy nor sadness. "There's no need to inform my father. As for the rest, I'm assuming you'll see to it."

After saying that, he hung up the phone. The vehicle continued heading toward the glorious city center of Shanghai…

At this time, Su Yang was rolling all over the floor at home. He was in agonizing pain as he only had one of the five fingers remaining on his right hand.

It wasn't because he experimented twice. Instead, it was because he realized that five minutes was far too short for him to plot his crime!

After the first five minutes, he only managed to find Zhao Xiao's location within Longteng Jiayuan. The following five minutes were only enough for him to look for the barbells which he later used to smash in Zhao Xiao's head. The final five minutes… He used those to carry out his plan!

If not for the fact that he was in so much pain, to the point that he couldn't stand it, he'd probably use another finger to see if Zhao Xiao was really dead.

Unfortunately, he was already covered in a cold sweat, feeling like he was about to die after only four fingers. He couldn't care less about Zhao Xiao and his feelings…

What terrible timing for his phone to ring again.

Su Yang bared his teeth and grimaced, wanting to curse out loud. 'Which m*therf*ck*r is it that's calling at such an ungodly hour?! Can't you see this pain is killing me?!'

Chapter 277 Capturing Pan Zhaodi's Brother Alive

Although cursing in his heart, 'good self-cultivation' still made Su Yang shout toward the room, "Little Deeny, who was it?!"

After a moment, Little Deeny's voice sounded in Su Yang's ear, "Master, it's a call from Miss Chu Xia."

'Chu Xia? What does she want with me?'

Su Yang endured the excruciating pain in his hand and shouted again, "Little Deeny! Accept the call."

A second later, the line was connected, and Chu Xia's voice rang out from the phone, "Hey young master! Will you come out for coffee this afternoon?"

Su Yang looked at his right hand where only his middle finger remained.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "How about another day?"

Chu Xia was worried. "Huh? Are you having a bad day?"

After revealing her concern, Chu Xia asked him as she sensed something was off, "Are you alright? Why do I get the feeling you aren't feeling yourself when I hear your voice…"

Su Yang replied, "I'm fine. It's fine. I've just got a little cold."

Chu Xia then suggested, "Oh… Should I come to see you then? As it happens, I've got some free time today!"

ome

Su Yang looked at his hand and thought about the mess he was in as he refused her offer. "No, no. I just need to rest for two days."

Chu Xia didn't press on but replied nicely, "It's fine then. I'll see you again in two days. In thre meantime, get some rest, drink plenty of hot water, and remember to take your meds if you're really feeling uncomfortable."

"Okay, okay."

Hanging up the phone, Su Yang dropped back onto the floor as he continued rolling around in pain. "God it hurts!"

While he was in excruciating pain, he received another call.

Su Yang was speechless.

'Was this a group of people who're rounding up the wounded? Why can't you guys come bearing gifts instead? Can't they show me some love? Su Yang asked, "Little Deeny! Who is it this time?!"

After a moment, Little Deeny replied, "Master, although you didn't save the number, it's probably a producer from your company." 'A producer?

'Was he the one and only employee of his film company? Was he the producer who took 5 million yuan of his money to make a movie?'

As much as he didn't want to pick it up, the guy held half of his assets after all. Feeling like he had no choice, Su Yang covered his hands and endured the pain as he said to Little Deeny in a whisper, "Pick up, pick up."

He looked like Eggy when it had been attacked previously…

Picking up the phone, Producer Zhao's voice came through, "Boss, I'm here to report to you."

Su Yang was in pain and could only squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth, "Speak…"

Producer Zhao continued, "The pre-planning for our movie is complete. It's about to start shooting soon. The two main actors have already been engaged and are coordinating their schedules. Once they're done, we'll temporarily find the other supporting actors and actresses and even that'll be done soon."

Although his hand was held against his chest in pain, Su Yang still held onto his sanity. Rather, who would be able to remain sane when the other party was holding half of his possessions in their hand. "Find temporary actors? Wouldn't that be too hasty?"

Producer Zhao replied, "No, that's the way it is for most networks. Even the two main actors are given the script two days in advance. Then, they'd familiarize themselves with it and shoot within the week. It's even simpler for regular actors. They'll be fine as long as they have some basic skills and don't look at the camera.

Su Yang was speechless. 'This is too crude'

Doubtful, Su Yang pondered., "Can a movie like this be a hit?"

Producer Zhao was particularly confident. "Don't worry, I don't know anything about art, but I still have a keen sense of business! The main focus of this film is the sentiment…"

Producer Zhao then detailed his overall idea, which was similar to Little Deeny's analysis, but more complete… However, Su Yang wasn't paying attention. All he wanted to do was hit himself with a brick and pass out.

He droned on and on about the movie, making it clear that the guy was excited about finally making the movie come true.

Before hanging up the phone, Producer Zhao revealed his true intentions. "Director Su, we're almost used up all of the initial expenses. I was wondering when the next payment would come? Producer Chen said he'd need your signature before he could do it."

Although Su Yang was a newbie when it came to this, he knew that he couldn't give the money directly to the crew. When he signed the contract, he had the finance department calculate how much he'd need to fork out for every portion so he'd know how much he'd have to put into the crew's accounts in batches. As for Chen Xiaoyun, Su Yang was most familiar with this new producer amongst the new employees. She had some potential so he assigned her to the crew as the producer responsible for handling the finances while helping out with odd jobs and training.

'Looks like Chen Xiaoyun's doing a good job.'

Su Yang said, "Alright then. Have Xiaoyun send me the report and I'll have it signed within the next few days."

Producer Zhao replied immediately, "Okay, okay!"

After hanging up, Su Yang finally had the rare moment of silence he was craving. Nobody was looking for him and he just wanted to lie there quietly… After already taking the painkillers along with Sanque's ginseng whiskers, he was still in excruciating pain from the pain in his lost fingers. In other words, he could only suffer through the pain he was in.

Soon, an entire day passed after 13 long hours. In the end, he felt a little numb and was wondering if the cooldown for (Lucky Disfiguring Slab] had already completed. After all, he could hit himself to death. However, looking at the time he had left, it would seem like the slab would only complete its cooldown period in another week. At that time, he'd be able to hit himself in the face once more.

'Bah… Having the chance to have good luck is good luck in itself!'

Su Yang felt that he hadn't been very lucky lately and needed to change it up a little.

When the clock struck 0:00, this difficult day finally passed.

Su Yang cried tears of joy as he looked at the four fingers slowly growing out of his palm! He began imagining how hard it'd be for people with physical disabilities as he thought how he had to live without four of his fingers.

With only one finger, he couldn't even shake it off when he urinated or wipe himself clean after a bowel movement.

Su Yang was used to using his right hand so using his left hand was rather… uncomfortable. Besides, if not for embarrassment, he'd probably ask Little Deeny for some help. Now that he had been relieved of his pain, Su Yang decided to go out for a late-night supper.

If you were wondering why he didn't just stay home with his (Grass-Eating Iron Pot, it was because suppers were best eaten outside.

After packing up, he brought Janet out of the virtual space to the outskirts of his neighborhood where the both of them found a barbecue stall. They ordered some grilled meat and ate their fill.

Janet wasn't that good of a chatting partner so his supper was incredibly dull.

There weren't any unsightly punks to accost or shoddy shopkeepers to taunt so he had a supper that was as calm as the weather that night.

'It was true.' He guessed. There really aren't that many bad people in life.

The only reward one could look forward to was a full stomach and eyes that envied them. After all, Janet was an extremely pretty foreign 'woman' in the eyes of outsiders.

After finishing his supper, he walked back with Janet. On the road, Su Yang's (Heaven's Eye) activated and he saw an image in front of him.

In a luxurious apartment, a few young people were drinking and chatting. "Did Su Yang really do this?" "It's him, I guess. Anyway, Zhao Xiao called me before and mentioned him. Then, he died within two hours."

"That's too cruel. It's taboo, right?"

"Who knows. Maybe the struggle in Shanghai really is that cruel."

The image came to an abrupt halt here, and Su Yang couldn't help but contemplate the fact that the second-generation wealthy people of Shanghai were discussing his affairs. It seemed that he had gradually entered a circle that he had never dared to think about in the past.

Just as he was deep in thought, another image appeared before his eyes.

On the screen was an ordinary-looking woman making a phone call in an office. "Hello, Mr. Jia, I'd like to ask about my cousin Feng Xiao. Oh, no, he's probably known as Zhao Xiao in Shanghai. I want to know some details, especially what's going on with him and Su Yang."

Mr. Jia's voice rang out over the phone, "Ms. Feng, I'm really not too sure. I'm just a consultant, and Mr. Zhao is just one of my many clients."

Ms. Feng didn't listen to Mr. Jia's explanation at all. "You and your consulting, huh? I can pay your fee, it's a hundred thousand enough?"

Mr. Jia continued, "Enough, enough. But… I really don't know about either of them." …

The images came to an abrupt end again.

If the first image didn't get Su Yang's attention, the second image did.

He stopped and frowned as he pondered the image he had just seen.

'Zhao Xiao? Feng Xiao? What's all this about?

'Does Zhao Xiao have any hidden identities? Isn't he just a simple liar?' The information on the screen that [Heaven's Eyes] could see was limited, and Su Yang wasn't able to get much information from it. However, he was now more careful. Je suddenly realized that although Zhao Xiao was dead, things were far from over… After a night of silence, Su Yang got up the next day and washed up. Then, he went to the company.

The company was now stable and was gradually developing. Since all the students were on vacation, there was no way to promote it at the moment.

However, the company wasn't idling. They were all gearing up for war from top to bottom, just waiting for the start of school in a month.

After working a day's shift at the company, he read and signed the backlog of documents that needed to be signed one by one, which of course included the second payment for the 'Fighting The Buddha' crew.

After completing the day's work, Su Yang jogged back to his own neighborhood. As a result, (Heaven's Eyes] activated again before he entered the neighborhood. A familiar-looking, trench coat, hat-wearing person was secretly observing himself under a tree not far away.

'Huh? Wasn't this the guy Longteng Jiayuan sent to follow me in the first place? Why is he still following me even after the two owners of Longteng Jiayuan are dead?

'This person's a little too dedicated, isn't he?

'And… Janet didn't break his arm, did she?

'I guess he's the one who ran away that day.'

It was as if this person's zodiac was a rat since he was too good at escaping. So, Su Yang deliberately pretended not to notice him and walked forward as usual.

The man in the trench coat was indeed fooled by Su Yang. He did the same old trick of throwing the phone into the flower bed, so Janet could quietly go and catch him.

Things went smoothly. Not long after Su Yang returned home, he heard Little Deeny's voice, "Master, the man is caught…"

Su Yang said, "Okay, that's good. Bring him here and I'll ask him what's going on."

Little Deeny hesitated for a moment and said, "Master… Why don't you just come over and take a look?"

Su Yang wondered. "Why? Janet can't handle him by herself?"

Little Deeny replied, "No… He said he's Pan Zhaodi's brother."

Chapter 278 Is The Recipe Item… A Circus?

Su Yang was a bit confused as to who it was. "Who is it?" Little Deeny repeated herself, "Pan Zhaodi's younger brother…"

Su Yang looked incredulous. "Pan Zhaodi's younger brother went to work as a security guard at Longteng Jiayuan?"

Little Deeny was speechless. "Master, you'd better talk to him yourself. Maybe… Everything is a misunderstanding."

'A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?'

With a head full of doubts, Su Yang left the room, went downstairs, and followed Little Deeny to a location outside of the neighborhood. Finally, he found Pan Zhaodi's brother. He was being pressed onto the ground by Janet under a tree just outside the neighborhood

Initially, Su Yang thought that Janet had caught the wrong person. However, after looking at the person's outfit, he knew there was no mistake. Dressed in a trench coat while wearing a hat and sunglasses. This was the one who had been following him.

Su Yang walked over to Janet and looked at her. "What's going on?"

Janet replied coldly, "I don't know. It was Little Deeny who told me to stop."

At that moment, the man who was being held down by Janet shouted toward Su Yang, "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Tell your men to let me go!" 'Brother-in… Law?'

Su Yang was full of question marks. 'What's this all about?'

He didn't ask Janet to let go. Instead, he crouched down and took off the man's hat and sunglasses. Underneath the sunglasses was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. He had a square face to which Su Yang snapped at, "You're definitely not Pan Zhaodi's brother."

The youth asked in surprise, "Why!?"

Su Yang replied, "You don't look anything like her. She's nowhere near as ugly as you."

He was speechless and tried to explain. "I look like my mother! My sister looks like my father! That's why we're not alike!"

Su Yang spat on the ground. "As if I'd believe you!"

"Spit it out, who the hell sent you here? Don't you know that something's happened at Longteng Jiayuan?"

That young man looked confused. "Longteng Jiayuan? What Longteng Jiayuan?"

'Huh? Doesn't he know about Longteng Jiayuan?'

Su Yang then realized that the few words this young man just said weren't lies. (Heaven's Eyes) didn't activate, so it indicated he was telling the truth. It was just that Su Yang had a preconceived notion that he was lying so he forgot about (Higher Life's Eyes]'s lie detection ability. 'Is this youth in front of me really Pan Zhaodi's brother?'

Su Yang was a bit confused.

"Then why did this young chap call me brother-in-law?'

Su Yang felt that this was too weird…

However, since he already knew the young man's identity, he waved his hand at Janet. "Let go of him."

Janet obeyed the order to let go of his hand.

The youth climbed up from the ground, moved his neck and arms, and then complained to Su Yang. "Brother-in-law, your bodyguard is too violent…"

"But…" He quietly leaned in next to Su Yang and raised his eyebrows at Su Yang while looking at Janet. "She looks tasty though!"

Su Yang was speechless.

'Tasty you say… You'll know what 'tasty' means when he pulls 'it' out in front of you. It'll be way bigger than yours.'

Su Yang ignored him and asked, "Why do you call me brother-in-law?"

The youth replied, "You're married to my sister, so of course I have to call you brother-in-law. Nope… You're divorced, so you should be my ex-brother-in-law."

At this moment, the youth jumped back and gestured at Su Yang. "Right! You almost had me fooled! You scum! How dare you abandon my sister!"

Su Yang was speechless.

'What is this?

'What's this all about?

'Did this kid mistake him for someone else?'

Thinking like that, Su Yang asked, "Do you know who I am?" The youth replied, "I do. You're my brother-in-law."

Su Yang continued his line of questioning, "I'm asking you, do you know what my name

is?"

The youth thought to himself. "Seven… Seventh Liu?"

Su Yang was speechless.

'Hmm. Let's not talk about him getting the name right or wrong. This guy really has mistaken me for someone else.'

Su Yang said, "I'm not Sixth Liu, my name is Su Yang. I'm also not your brother-in-law. You've mistaken me for someone else."

The youth waved his hand. "You're lying to me! I've been watching you for ten days! I've noticed you since you started walking your dog. The dog you walk is my sister's Eggy! And you moved into the basement at first, but then you went back to your old home, right? I've noticed everything! You lied to me!"

Su Yang was speechless.

He suddenly recalled that this youth was the first person to stalk him. He started following him when he started walking Eggy.

Then, barely two days later, he went to look for Sixth Liu and was noticed by the head of security so the brawny men from Longteng Jiayuan started following him again. "The two incidents were so close… I mistakenly thought they were in cahoots…

'So that's how it is.'

Su Yang thought about it, took the phone from Janet's hand and sent a message to Little Deeny. (Put my ID in my pocket).

After sending it, Su Yang put the phone in his pocket. After a moment, he felt a shock in his pocket and took out his identity card from his pocket to show it to the youth. "Look carefully, I'm really not your ex-brother-in-law, my name is Su Yang. I'm your ex-brother-in-law's tenant. That dog is also a dog that I was incidentally helping to look after."

The youth looked at Su Yang's ID card, and his mouth slowly gaped open. He couldn't help but say, "I… Then what have I been stalking for the past ten days?!"

Su Yang replied, "God knows what you're stalking."

After saying that, Su Yang waved his hand towards Janet. "Go away, Janet. Ignore him."

As soon as Su Yang turned around, his arm was pulled by Pan Zhaodi's brother who looked like he was about to cry, "Brother-in-law, no… Well, Su Yang, can you give me some money, I-I'm so poor that I don't have anywhere to eat."

Su Yang was speechless.

"This guy isn't a liar, right?'

In the end, Su Yang didn't give him any money, but took him home and 'cooked' a meal for him.

Perhaps the (grass-eating Iron Pot] cooks too good, or maybe the young man was too hungry, anyway, once the rice came up, Pan Zhaodi's brother's eyes lit up and he picked up his chopsticks and gobbled it up.

Su Yang was drinking water on the side looking at him, "Eat slowly, if you choke to death I will have to call the police."

Pan Zhaodi's brother said as he stuffed rice into his mouth, "Brother-in-law, you're really too good, this rice is too good! Why did my sister divorce you!"

Su Yang was speechless.

"Let me tell you one more time, I'm not your brother-in-law."

Pan Zhaodi's brother nodded his head in succession. "Yes, yes, I've been stalking you for the past ten days, I'm used to it, I can't change it at the moment. Hey… It would be good if my sister married you."

Su Yang coughed.

Pan Zhaodi's younger brother ate his meal, but also didn't forget to extend his hand toward Su Yang. "Right, brother-in-law, introduce me, my name is Pan Shuai, I'm Pan Zhaodi's younger brother."

Su Yang didn't even bother to defend his identity. "Oh… I know. Finish eating and hurry up."

Pan Shuai stuffed chicken into his mouth while looking at Su Yang with his four-sided face. "Brother-in-law… Aren't you emphatic toward my situation?."

Su Yang replied, "Not really. After all, I have nothing to do with your sister."

After finishing his meal, Su Yang drove Pan Shuai away. He knew Pan Zhaodi, so it was a favor to offer her brother a meal, However… for anything beyond that? Forget it. After all, he didn't know Pan Zhaodi very well.

After driving Pan Shuai away, Su Yang entered the virtual space and saw Pan Zhaodi's Labrador, Eggy. 'Sh*t… I forgot to let Pan Shuai take Eggy away.'

Eggy looked at Su Yang pitifully, and Su Yang smiled at it.

In the evening, Su Yang finished his meal and rested while browsing the news on his phone.

After a while, Su Yang suddenly found that there was some negative news about the Find Me app on the internet that read, "The Find Me App Has Become A Dating App!" and "Find Me App Involved In Pornography". It didn't seem like a big deal at first glance, and might even be some kind of propaganda. However, now that the country was cracking down on pornography and illegal activities, Su Yang felt like there was something fishy about it.

He sent the news to Little Deeny. "Little Deeny, help me investigate the matter. See if there's any problem.".

After a moment, Little Deeny's voice sounded in Su Yang's ear, "Master. These are all public or local stations of well-known online media. The news from these places are all pay-to-publish, so it might be someone targeting the Find Me app." Su Yang frowned, he guessed correctly after all. He asked, "Can you find out who is behind this through analysis?" Deeny replied, "It can't be determined, because these public and local stations post everything in the news. However… I did find something unusual, all the numbers and local stations that sent out articles saying we were involved in pornography while promoting an article about an app called the [In] App."

'[In] App?'

Su Yang has a lot of knowledge about the [in] app, which was also modeled after the software developed by foreigners. However, the difference with the Find Me app Su Yang owns was that it focused on taking photos and sharing them while Su Yang's app focused on socializing

The two seemed to be similar but there was a different positioning, The volume of users for the [In] App was dozens or hundreds of times more than the Find Me app.

Su Yang remembered reading a report saying that the registered users on the [In] App had exceeded 50 million.

'I'm a little shrimp compared to them, why are they targeting me?'

Su Yang felt like something was wrong…

'Did I develop too fast and got noticed?'

Su Yang was deep in thought. Anyway, Su Yang didn't care about that. What he cared about instead was another thing. 'Today is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday, the recipe items from the system store this week haven't been exchanged yet, should I exchange some?'

Thinking so, Su Yang turned off the virtual interface suspended in front of him and silently opened the System Store.

Suddenly, the System Store's interface appeared in front of him.

Random Points x 2

Guardian talisman x 7

Recipe Item: A circus of unknown abilities.

'A circus?'

Su Yang is a bit confused, what is this thing?

'Is the circus a place, a group of performers, or an object?'

Su Yang looked at the pattern of that merchandise and found that it was covered in a translucent mist, making it indistinguishable.

'It's so strange…' Su Yang clicked on the circus recipe. One 1 mask, 10 hula hoops, a set of clown clothes, and five fire pots…

"These look like circus things.'

This was the second time Su Yang encountered a recipe limited by 1 items. The last time was the (Book of Negative Symptoms), which specified that it had to be a [1 book]. However, it was a 1 mask this time.

Su Yang didn't have this kind of item in his hand, so… it looked like he would need to add a point to it.

Su Yang looked at the mysterious circus in the system store and thought about random points again. He felt like… this thing was probably more precious than a random point! In that case, he'd spend a random point to give it a try! He was curious about what this circus was capable of achieving!

Chapter 279 Convincing Lin Jiali to Film His Movie!

Thinking along that line of thought, Su Yang looked around his home and realized that there wasn't a single mask lying around at home.

'That's quite normal, isn't it? Who'd have masks lying around at home anyway? 'Since I don't have a mask, let's head out and buy one. I need to get some other things for the recipe as well.'

With that, Su Yang went out of the house for the third time.

Su Yang felt that if Sixth Liu's broken front door had a mind of its own, it'd definitely say, "Are you trying to embarrass me?! Do you not think that I'm responsible for what goes in and out!"

Unfortunately, it was a broken door. If Su Yang didn't give it an extra point, it wouldn't be able to talk for the rest of its life.

Walking out of the neighborhood, Su Yang worked out in his mind where he needed to go to in order to buy these things. 'Supermarkets should have the items, shouldn't they? I'll go over and check that out first.'

Just as he was heading toward the supermarket, his phone rang.

'Who's looking for me this time?'

Little Deeny had become much more attentive since she had parted with one of her core processors. Even before Su Yang asked, she said to Su Yang's through his earpiece, "Master, it's a WeChat message from Lin Jiali."

'Lin Jiali, the actress, is looking for me?'

Su Yang took out his phone and opened WeChat, walking to the supermarket while checking to see what Lin Jiali was looking for.

Lin Jiali asked, [Are you there?]

Su Yang replied, [No, I'm not.)

Lin Jiali sent a peek-a-boo emoji. [Are you with someone else? Or are you alone?]

Su Yang chuckled. (If only half my body is here now, I'm afraid I might scare you to death.]

Lin Jiali was speechless. […]

After some time, Lin Jiali sent another message, [I'm telling you… You can really go to the overpass to set up a stall.] Su Yang replied with a question mark as he walked. [?]

Lin Jiali, (You remember the other day when you figured out that I'd have a new agent and a new job, right? I had an agent the next day, and now I have a new job! It was a special arrangement from the company. You're just divine!]

Su Yang replied carelessly, [Of course, I'm Su Yang, the guy with a steel mouth that can break anything through anything.) Lin Jiali sent an emoji with a disgusted expression. (If I say you're fat, I bet you'll start huffing and puffing away. You're really living up to people's praises.) Su Yang looked at himself and saw that he wasn't all that thin.

Lin Jiali asked, (Aren't you curious about the kind of job I've been given?]

Su Yang thought about his identity. Well, a fan should probably be curious about it. (What? An advertisement?]

Lin Jiali replied with a cute emoji. (It's a Chinese variety show that has good ratings. There's also a slot for a guest appearance on Netbig, but I rejected it.]

Su Yang asked, (Why did you reject it?]

Lin Jiali continued, [No reason. It wasn't compelling, and it doesn't make money. What's the point of getting a few thousand dollars just to show your face for the shoot?]

'Huh…

'Is it that cheap to get a third-tier celebrity to make a cameo?'

Su Yang stopped and started to think about this matter. His company's investment in Netbig was close to 5 million. He had been worried but couldn't do anything aside from trusting the 'professionals'.

However, Lin Jiali reminded Su Yang. Since the Netbig filming cycle was so short, and he had an agency under his belt, he should take the opportunity to make use of an artist from his own company.

'Why not use an artist from my company to make a guest appearance? 'This way, if this drama really does well, the artists from my company would also receive exposure.

'On the other hand, I should also be able to save tens of thousands of dollars if the drama went belly-up.'

Thinking this way, Su Yang didn't reply to Lin Jiali but instead, he called Producer Zhao.

The call was quickly connected, and Producer Zhao's voice came from the microphone, "Director Su, how can I help you?"

Su Yang replied, "Right. Producer Zhao, I remember you said that our drama seems to have no other roles decided except for the two main actors, right?"

Producer Zhao replied, "Right, Director Su. None of them are set in stone."

Su Yang continued, "Then, does our drama have a female character?"

Producer Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Director Su, we do. There are five or six female characters, and there's a female lead."

"There's a female lead in this movie?!'

Su Yang was surprised. 'Isn't this related to the Monkey King? Is the female lead a female monkey?'

Su Yang asked, "What's the setting for the female lead? What type of actress are you looking for?"

Producer Zhao explained, "To be honest, although it's said to be a female lead movie, it's most often considered as a small female role in other movies. After all, this movie focuses on male characters and is a big male drama. There isn't as much to do for the female lead."

Su Yang felt that this was the right thing to do. Producer Zhao then continued, "What type of actress am I looking for? Hmmm… It needs to be an actress with a pretty face, and with a bit of a green tea-bitch vibe."

'Pretty face? Green tea bitch?

'Huh? Lin Jiali is perfect for that role!'

In her last film 'Carat Love', she portrayed a seemingly unaffected, innocent, and charming girl. However, she was a dissipated and superficial whore.

'Although… Why does this movie require the female lead to be a green-tea bitch??'

While Su Yang was still full of question marks, Producer Zhao had already begun explaining, "Our drama is about Sun Wukong, who descended into the mortal world after a thousand years. There, he meets the female host and falls in love with her. It turns out that the mistress only treats him as a spare tire, while Zhu Bajie was by his side and stayed by his side. In the end, Sun Wukong discovers that Zhu Bajie is his true love, so the two of them get together."

Su Yang was speechless.

'What the f*ck is this?! What's with such a cheesy plot?!

'And there's an element of romantic indulgence! Are you trying to ruin our childhood?

'But why is this play so well received by so many?

'Could it be that I have bad taste?

"The audience nowadays likes this kind of 'romance' film? No way…'

Su Yang really didn't have any hope for this movie anymore…

'I just hope that I can spend less money and recoup my investment.'

Thinking like that, Su Yang didn't bother to know more and asked, "What's the approximate budget for the female characters and the cost of the female lead?"

Producer Zhao thought about it. "More female leads are needed so we have a budget of almost 70,000 yuan. We plan to find someone who is a little more famous. The other female characters don't have as many scenes, so it adds up to only about 50,000 yuan."

Su Yang calculated. 'Hmm… If I placed some of the artists from my company in the movie, I might be able to save up to half of the expenses.'

So, he immediately replied, "Reserve those few female roles and the female lead role for me. I have an artist agency under me, and I've got a few female artists."

What could Producer Zhao say? The boss had spoken so he couldn't object, and could only agree. After talking to Producer Zhao, Su Yang made a call to Lin Jiali's general manager, Miss Tan, "I remember our company has six or seven other female trainees besides Lin Jiali, right?"

Miss Tan replied, "That's right, Director Su."

Su Yang continued, "Oh, training all the time won't be good for them. It just so happens that my film and television company is making a Netbig film, and there are some female supporting actress roles in it. You can let them try out. Also, I've reserved the female lead role for Lin Jiali, so you can look into arranging that as well."

Tan Mei was a bit surprised. "What Netbig film?"

Facing her, Su Yang espoused all the good points about the movie. "It's an iQIYI S-rank Netbig project. Chen Min and Lin Cong are the main stars. The IP is from 'The Journey to the West'."

Su Yang didn't continue, because he was afraid of his conscience hitting back at him. "You should talk to the producer about the rest." The general manager asked cautiously, "What about the fee for the film?"

Su Yang replied, "You can just discuss it with him. Follow the rate card."

The general manager breathed a sigh of relief. The most feared project was one the boss owned by himself that he didn't want to pay for. "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang realized that he had already arrived at the supermarket. It was then that he saw Lin Jiali's messages on Wechat from when he was on the call. [Huh? Where are you?] [Why did you suddenly disappear?]

(What are you doing? What are you doing?]

[Are you asleep?]

So-yang was speechless

This tease…

Suyang replied, [No. I'm going to tell your fortune.]

Lin Jiali excitedly replied, [What did you calculate for me? What are the results?]

As Su Yang placed a Monkey King mask in the shopping basket, he replied, [Here you go! I'm calculating whether you can act in a NetBig movie.)

Lin Jiali was speechless

[Wha-What's this about?]

Su Yang asked, (Don't you want to know the result?]

Lin Jiali replied, (I don't want to.]

Su Yang answered anyway, (Oh. I figured you'd be acting in one.)

Lin Jiali was speechless. […]

Lin Jiali sent another message, [I'll see you later. You fake fan!]

Su Yang laughed. 'I see I've been demoted to a fake fan.'

Without replying to Lin Jia, Su Yang continued purchasing the items he needed for the recipe. 10 hula hoops, a set of clown clothes, and five fire pots…

"These strange things, supermarkets actually… They actually have quite a few options.'

With his shopping list as a guide, Su Yang put everything he needed to buy into the shopping basket and paid for them. After shopping, Su Yang looked at the list and saw that he was still missing quite a number of materials despite buying a lot of things tonight.

He looked at the time, and it was already 8:30 pm. Even if he ran to another place to buy it, he probably wouldn't be able to make it in time. So, Su Yang decided to go home and add more to the mask before he bought the rest of the things tomorrow.

Carrying his things back home and entering the virtual space, Su Yang took out the mask and prepared to add some points to it.

The mask was a Sun Wukong mask, which fit very well with Su Yang's company, Netda.

He bought it for this reason as well.

After all, the mask was red with only some parts white, making it look very festive and to some extent, symbolized that Su Yang's company was hot stuff….

'When strength falls short, superstition comes to the rescue!'

Placing the mask on the table, Su Yang turned on the system and prepared to add points.

As he turned on the addition system, the items in the room suddenly had a translucent ] above them, including, of course, the mask on the table.

This was supposed to be a prelude to the Circus Special Item in the system store so Su Yang was in an incomparably relaxed mood.

He tapped on the ] above the mask.

With a flicker of light, the addition was completed without any hitches, and the mask didn't change at all.

Su Yang lay on the couch patiently waiting for the system prompt to appear. Just as he was waiting, his WeChat rang again.

He picked it up and looked. It was another amusing message from Lin Jiali. (I'm weak. I'm asking a fake fan. However, did you really see out that I'm going to act in a NetBig film?

Su Yang was happy. 'This actress really believes that I can tell fortunes.'

He replied, (Yes, and I figured out that you'll become a big hit with this movie).

Lin Jiali was speechless. [… You liar! Bye-bye!)

Su Yang chuckled, he was indeed lying because he'd be visiting Lin Jiali's agency at the end of this month. By then, everything would be dismantled so he didn't care if he was lying or not.

'I'm really looking forward to Lin Jiali's expression by then…'

Just as Su Yang was thinking about his evil plan, the mask slowly changed.

The mask was initially a Peking Opera image of the Monkey King. However, the mask slowly softened and reorganized itself into a strange-looking mask. It had a black background and two white fish painted on it.

The two fish were connected at the beginning and end, forming the shape of yin and yang.

Chapter 280 Special Item: Double-Sided Salted Fish Mask

'That's…

'Did I add a special item?

'I got a special item by just casually adding points? Did my luck increase all of a sudden? 'What's with the pattern on this mask though… It looks weird'

Su Yang couldn't help but think of the legendary Double Fish Jade Pendant.

'Can I make a copy of myself by just wearing this mask? That's just too weird and scary

'Maybe… The only thing that changed after adding points to this mask is the change in shape?'

Su Yang didn't want to feel too optimistic because he didn't want to be greatly disappointed if things didn't go as expected.

However, he didn't touch the mask despite thinking like that and just waited silently for the system's interface to appear.

After some time, the interface finally appeared above the mask.

[Mask 1: Acquired new special ability. Confirm appraisal?]

"Of course! Confirm the appraisal!'

The most attractive thing about adding random points like this was because it was like getting a fortune cookie, you never know what you're going to get.

Two seconds later, another interface appeared on the mask.

(Double-Sided Salted Fish Mask]

Ability 1: Putting on the front part of the mask will transform you into a salted fish without any ideals whatsoever. Being in this salty state will improve the recovery of your mental state, and you'll feel relaxed no matter how tired you are.

Ability 2: Wearing this mask on its opposite side will turn you into a salted fish. Being in this version of the salted fish state, you'll be able to recover physically and be full of energy!

Restrictions: This mask must be worn for one hour before it can be removed and can last up to one month. May be used by others.

Note 1: As of today! You can openly declare that you're a piece of salted fish.

Note 2: Turning a salted fish turned over still results in a salted fish.

A simple and straightforward introduction. The ability is somewhat similar to the (Unknown Sticky Note, giving an item dual purposes.

Su Yang picked the Salted Fish Mask up and realized that its texture was very light and comfortable, making it feel like a layer of film.

Measuring the mask, he realized that its front sported a black base with two white fish while its reverse side had a white base and two black fish. It looked bizarre and mysterious.

Since he had a special item to try, Su Yang went over to the toilet, looked in the mirror, and gently put the mask on his face.

The mask didn't have a string to attach itself. However, it stuck to his face anyway and automatically expanded along Su Yang's face, eventually enveloping it.

The material of the mask felt exactly how it did when he touched it. Fresh, kind to the skin, and comfortable. It didn't feel stuffy at all and was very breathable.

He touched his face and it felt slippery. It was as if there was a soft film on his face.

Through the mirror, Su Yang saw himself while wearing the mask. Instead of looking like salted fish, he looked more like…. A pervert!

Just as he was deep in thought, the mask turned transparent before disappearing. His handsome face that could crush Wu Yanzu and Chen Guanxi then revealed itself once more.

At the same time, an indescribable feeling suddenly descended on his body, making him feel like his entire body had… disappeared.

The feeling didn't make him feel swollen, per se. Instead, it made him feel like he was walking on the clouds while feeling incredibly relaxed. It was like his whole brain had emptied itself and went to the spa.

All the worries, negative energies, and trivial things in the world felt as if they had nothing to do with him. He had never felt such peace in his life.

Rather, he hadn't felt such peace since he was a carefree child. Nobody in the world would have such a peaceful moment.

He was in a state where he didn't have to think or do anything, and nothing in the world could trouble him.

With a silly smile on his face, Su Yang slowly walked to the sofa and collapsed on it with a face full of happiness. "Wow, it's so comfortable… So, is this what it feels like to be a salted fish?"

Su Yang felt like his entire body was stuck in cotton. It felt soft and was incomparably comfortable. He couldn't help but think about one thing in his mind. Since the pros of the item were related to relaxing his mind, he wondered how relaxed his body would feel when he used the other side of the mask.

As he thought about it, Su Yang wondered once more. 'Why am I thinking about this? Is being here so uncomfortable? Why would I want to use the other side of the mask?

So, Su Yang called out an interface and began playing games without a care in the world.

After some time, another thought came to his mind. 'Eh? Wasn't I going to replace this mask with that (Circles of Unknown Abilities) from the system store? Why are we playing here?

The thought came to him again and he dismissed it. 'Crafting recipe items are so tiring. Is the game no fun? Is it uncomfortable to lie down? What a toss of the dice…'

While being salty, Su Yang played his game for a few hours and with his (Grass-Eating Iron Pot] he had a late-night snack. He wondered. 'Eating late-night snacks while thinking about eating supper every day… I won't become fat, right? What if I lose face…

However, the [Salted Fish Mask] still made him accept his night snack because he was salted fish. 'If I become fat, I'll just be fat. After all, I'll only turn into a 'handsome' fat man if I'm fat.

Su Yang was extremely salty throughout the entire night. After finishing his midnight snack, he took a shower and slept soundly. He neither worried about the past nor the future, making him the ultimate salted fish.

When he woke up, Su Yang felt a rejuvenation like no other. His entire body was completely refreshed!

However, his desire to work, study, or formulate plans went down the drain. He could no longer muster any interest, always wanting to either relax or play.

Last night, Su Yang indulged himself for a night because he found himself very tense before using the Salted Fish Mask. He specifically did so to give himself a night of relaxation.

However, he couldn't be so relaxed.

He went to the bathroom, looked in the mirror, put his hand on the edge of his cheek, and slowly fumbled with it. Soon, he found a small slippery spot that he could grab and gently removed the mask. As he removed it, a mask with a black background with two white fishes was torn off.

With the mask removed, Su Yang felt the worry, drive, and motivation rush into him all at once!

Looking at the soft mask in his hand, Su Yang could help but love and fear it at the same time.

He absolutely loved the wonderful feeling. He had never been so relaxed before, and it was really useful for mental rest.

Previously, both the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass) and (Heaven's Eye) would cause some mental distress. So, now that he had an item that refreshed his mental state, he shouldn't have to worry about anything going wrong in the future as long as he didn't use these two items frequently.

The fear was of course, that this salty state of his was too scary! He was aware that he had been wearing the (Salted Fish Mask] and didn't want to take it off yet.

If he had put it on another person, the person would've been crippled if he hadn't known he had been 'salted'!

Su Yang felt like this thing was another great weapon if used well!

Thinking like that, Su Yang hesitated as he flipped the mask over and had a look at the white background with two black fish on the reverse side. 'If mental rest is so powerful, what would physical rest be like…' 'Should I go for a massage with two girls?

'Should I try it?'

As he hesitated, a Mercedes Benz passed the toll booth of Shanghai as it drove toward Longteng Jiayuan.

There were three people in the car. The one sitting on the passenger side was a big, strapping man with a shaved head and a big waist. He was holding a piece of scripture and looking at it calmly.

Next to him was a thin young man with glossy eyes, his skin was pale with heavy black bags. He looked like he was overindulging, yawning as he drove carelessly.

In the back of the car, on the other hand, sat a very thin-looking man who looked like a monkey that was about 160 centimeters. He was holding a Rubik's cube in his hand and with a slight movement of both hands, he dismantled the Rubik's cube rather quickly. When it was dismantled, his hands deftly put the Rubik's cube together once more. The whole process took less than fifteen seconds and soon, the Rubik's cube had been put together.

Then, he continued taking it apart again and again. The atmosphere in the car was dull, and none of the three men spoke.

After the car had passed through the mountainous area, the bald man was the first one to speak up. "This operation is to investigate the death of the third young master and avenge his death. You remember the identities of the main few targets, right?"

The skinny young man driving the car couldn't care less as he said, "What third young master? He's just a bastard son."

The bald man solemnly replied, "Even if it's a bastard, it's the young master's son."

Playing with his Rubik's cube in the back row, the man who was as skinny as a monkey voiced out, "The master may not even know about this."

The skinny youth turned his head to look at him. "Monkey, you have news again?".

The car tripped over a rock in the road, and the man known as a monkey cursed. "I'm working on it! Will you drive and watch the road!"

The skinny young man turned his head carelessly. "Look at you guys scared. If you guys are scared, you'll learn to drive. Then, you won't need me to drive every time you go on a mission. You guys think driving is easy…"

Monkey snorted and didn't bother. "When the boss called Missy, I happened to pass by and overheard it. It seems like the young master didn't let him tell the master." The bald man glared at him. "Keep it quiet. Don't just listen and regurgitate everything

you hear!"

The skinny monkey trailed off and lowered his head to continue playing with the Rubik's cube without speaking.

The young man driving the car glanced at the two. "If you ask me, I'd just kill those suspects when you arrive and everything will be resolved. It's going to be super tiring to investigate."

The bald man said, "The boss knew you two would be like this so he sent me to watch over you!"

"I'm warning you, this is Shanghai, not a small city. You can't mess around. Start investigating before deciding on a plan!"

"I've seen a few suspects, so let's start with the one named Su." … Since the bald man didn't give his name. Su Yang didn't know that a group of people was coming toward him …

At this time, he had just finished tinkering and decided to try on the reverse side of his Salted Fish Mask.

He had a feeling that this mask wasn't as simple as it looked…
