Chapter 291 Exposed Special Abilities!
After completing two Bronze Missions in a day and accumulating three Bronze Points in his hand, Su Yang momentarily became a little complacent.
In fact, he didn't know when his Bronze Points began becoming as common as his random points. In the past, this was something he didn't even dare to think about. 'Did the system promote me to the next level?' As he lamented, Su Yang released Janet from the bedroom and asked him whether he was alright. After confirming that he wasn't injured and only had a torn-up shoe, he brought Janet back to the virtual space.
Summoning a few little monster beans to clean up the wrecked home, Su Yang called the locksmith again. Although this broken security door is only an A-grade lock, it could only prevent a simple break-in. However, a proper thief wouldn't be stopped by it. A lock would definitely give some peace of mind. After all, nobody would want to live somewhere anyone could come and go as they please like it was a public place.
After ensuring that the locksmith would be coming over in an hour or so, Su Yang brought out the (Small Bench That Refuses To Eat Melons) and watched the little monster beans clean up while he ate some melons.
As he was cracking the melon seeds to eat them, he suddenly turned pale. 'Sh*t! I forgot to ask Pan Zhaodi if she's seen anyone suspicious.
He had gone home earlier to look for clues about the three people who had infiltrated the house and the bug. However, he didn't expect to forget about it because of a fight with Pan Zhaodi!
Thinking along those lines, he commanded the little monster bean to go over the house and look for the bug. Soon, the bug was found. It was just above the living room's curtains.
Su Yang's face was gloomy as he looked at the bug affixed to the ceiling. It was because he seemed to have accidentally revealed things he shouldn't have said.
At the same time, in a hotel two kilometers away from Su Yang's neighborhood, three people with different appearances were staying in a room.
The youth with eyebags was lying on the bed, fast asleep while hugging a pillow.
The short, skinny man who looked like a monkey was holding a knife and apple in his hand. With a slight movement with his hands, the knife smoothly skinned the apple and soon, a skinless apple appeared in his hand after a strip of skin fell onto the ground. Baldy was wearing headphones while listening intently in front of the device. The more he listened, the deeper his frown became.
After listening for a full half-hour, he put the headphones down and beckoned toward the other. "Sea Serpent, Monkey, come over here and listen. What the hell does this mean? Why am I getting a weird vibe from this?".
The thin, young man with eyebags, also known as Sea Serpent, rolled over and continued to snore, apparently unable to be disturbed from his sleep by anything.
While peeling apples, Monkey looked up at the big man, reluctant to go over.
The big man looked at him again and called out, "Monkey!"
Monkey angrily slapped the apple on the table and got up to go to Baldy.
Behind him, the apple quietly cracked open and was divided into eight equal pieces, each cut smoothly.
Arriving beside Baldy's, Monkey moved a chair and sat down, asking somewhat grumpily, "What kind of weird things?!"
Baldy didn't say anything, took out another earphone and plugged it into the machine before handing it to Monkey.
Monkey irritably put the headphones in his ears, and all he could hear were the sounds of people fighting and girls screaming. It sounded like two women fighting intensely. "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After Su Yang asked them to stop and conversed with Pan Zhaodi.
Monkey frowned and listened, feeling a little impatient. However, he also knew that there would be more to the recording since Baldy asked him to listen to it.
Surely enough, the fight was over after a while and the woman began to recount her miserable experience. Then, Su Yang, who was their target, loaned 500,000 yuan to the woman without hesitation.
Monkey eyes shone brightly. '500,000 yuan just like that? What the heck, this guy was isn't as simple as the investigation reports show!'
He felt a little more interested now.
Monkey continued to listen and after a while, the sound of a door opening was heard as Su Yang's voice was heard, "Janet, are you okay?" "You aren't injured, right?"
"That's good. Then you should go back to the virtual space and get some rest."
'Virtual space?'
Monkey keenly caught the word. 'What did it mean? Is it a code word? Or is it somewhere else?'
Then, everything became silent.
After a while, he heard shuffling sounds once again. It was like there were bugs creeping around before Su Yang's voice was heard again. "You guys, fix all of this." "Bean! Bean! Bean!"
He heard some kind of strange chant.
Baldy motioned for Monkey to remove his headphones before asking, "What do you think?"
Both of Monkey's thin hands moved unconsciously but carefully while he was deep in thought. However, since he wasn't that good at using his brain to begin with, these strange conversations made him feel like his head had turned to mush!
He couldn't figure it out and said irritably, "I definitely feel like it's very weird. Still… I can't put my finger on the thing that feels off."
The bald guy pointed to the youth with eyebags on the bed. "Ask Sea Serpent to come here."
Monkey glared at him, then got up, came over to the skinny youth, and gave him a kick. "Sea Serpent! Wake up!"
The skinny youth rolled over on the bed.
The veins on Monkey's forehead popped as he bared his teeth. "You aren't getting up, are you?! Believe it or not, I'll cut you up!" After he finished his threat, he didn't even see the skinny youth exerting any energy. Instead, the skinny youth just stretched his upper body before yawning while rubbing his eyes, asking as he did so, "What is it? Why are you so anxious?"
Baldy waved at him."Come over here and listen."
Sea Serpent slowly got off the bed, walked over, took Monkey's place, picked up the headphones, and started listening.
Monkey bared his teeth in mockery. "Sea Serpent, do you have weak kidneys? Why are the dark circles under your eyes so obvious."
Sea Serpent wasn't annoyed and smiled. "The doctor said I'm anemic." Hearing the two of them chatting, Baldy put his hand down, indicating that they should stop chatting and get down to business first.
Sea Serpent propped his head on the table with his hands on the table and listened quietly.
Monkey, seeing that he had no more business with them, sat in his chair by the window. Then, he picked up the eight pieces of the apple he had been peeling earlier.
After listening for a while, Sea Serpent put down the headphones and carelessly asked, "What does this mean? Is it a code word?"
Baldy frowned, he was already bald but when he frowned, it looked like an extra layer of lines on a briny egg. "I've got no idea. If he was using it as a code the first time he mentioned (Virtual Space, what did the second one mean? He also mentioned 'you guys' which means there were others besides him and the woman. I'm pretty sure there are more one or more other people living there."
"And what were those 'Bean! Bean! Bean!' chants in the background? Is it a code word?"
Sea Serpent closed his eyes, his face all pensive. Baldy looked at him for a minute. Soon two minutes passed…
Just when Baldy thought he was asleep, Sea Serpent said, "Maybe he's an actor. Maybe, he's memorizing his lines."
Bald Man was utterly speechless.
Behind him, Monkey lowered his head and continued peeling his apple. "Maybe it's just as what Sea Serpent said."
Baldy was speechless. He finally knew why the boss called him out on this mission. With the IQ of the other two, they might have to kill everyone in Shanghai and even then, they wouldn't be able to find the killer.
He didn't bother paying attention to the other two as he continued listening to the recording as he wrote down the keywords.
'Virtual space… You guys… Bean… What do all these things mean? This man must be hiding some sort of secret.'
If it was true, Baldy would get to the bottom of what that secret meant.
Even without considering the bizarre recording, Su Yang was his number one suspect just by virtue of the clues he currently had.
They had been informed that the hand of the security guard in Longteng Jiayuan was broken by an unfamiliar woman. However, regardless if it were official or private investigators, none of them could find any information about the woman, nor did they find a martial artist of that caliber of the opposite gender within Su Yang's circle.
However, he had found not one, but two!
At this moment, it seemed rather likely that Zhao Xiao's death was connected to Su Yang.
'I've got to follow this trail myself!'
While Baldy was deep in thought about the problems, Su Yang turned around from the window and didn't bother making contact with the bug.
Although he said something he shouldn't have, he could still remedy the situation. However, if he turned off the bug, it would reveal his knowledge about them and things would become even more troublesome.
The priority now was to pretend nothing had happened, paralyze the three investigators, look for them, go through their memories, and see what they were up to. Only then would he make a decision on what he'd do with them based on how much they knew.
Thinking along this line of thought, Su Yang couldn't care less about asking the little monster beans to clean up the house. So, he quietly took them back to the virtual space and continued enjoying his melon seeds as he plotted in his mind.
After some time, the locksmith arrived at Su Yang's house.
Su Yang stood up, and all the melon seeds disappeared along with the popcorn. He got up to open the door for the locksmith and patiently waited as the lock got changed.
After getting a new lock, Su Yang took out his cell phone and sent a message to Little Deeny. Then, Su Yang picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Are you free tonight? I wanted to talk to you about the earlier matter."
Pool's voice was heard from the other side of the phone, "I'm free."
Su Yang replied, "Alright then, we'll meet at 11:00 p.m. at the small park next to our neighborhood. See you soon."
After saying that, Su Yang hung up the phone. This was the scheme he came up with. Since he had accidentally exposed something, he might as well take the initiative to expose some new problems and draw the snake out of the hole. As long as those three people showed their faces, then he could catch them even if he had to break a few fingers!
'Let's see if they fall for it!
Su Yang's eyes exposed a glint of fierceness.
All of Su Yang's words were of course clearly overheard by Baldy.
He muttered to himself, "What previous matter?"
He thought to himself. There's something really wrong with this Su Yang.
'Whatever was he talking about when he mentioned 'previous matter'?
'Should I go and spy on him myself tonight to see who he's meeting with secretly?'
se
In the evening, Su Yang came to the small park 'as promised'.
Su Yang had many memories in the small park. Some of them were with Chu Xia and others were with Pan Zhaodi. Now that he's come here again, his mood was completely different.
At 10:50 p.m., no one was watching him.
At 11:00 p.m., Janet, disguised in a black robe, went to the flower bed, standing opposite Su Yang as she spoke to him.
At 11:10 p.m., there was nothing unusual and (Heaven's Eyes] hadn't prompted him.
At 11:20 p.m., Su Yang and Janet had nothing to talk about. After all, Janet was too cold.
At 11:30 p.m., (Heaven's Eye] suddenly activated just as Su Yang thought the other party wouldn't fall for it. He noticed someone looking at him. A bald man was standing in front of a glass window as he observed him…

Chapter 292 A Secret War Between Both Sides — You Me!
The big man had a shaved head and wore a tracksuit. He also looked rather large and was athletic.
With just a gland, Su Yang recognized him as one of the three who had visited his house in the afternoon.
Su Yang glanced at him while trying to determine the location of the rest. As a result, he was dumbfounded.
In Su Yang's plan, (Heaven's Eye) would be activated no matter how he observed his enemies. No matter where they were hiding, he would still be able to locate them.
As long as he located these three people, he could make use of his new silver ability (Hands of Fate] to get them right in front of him. Then, he'd make use of the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass) to take a look at their memories, figure out their identities, and figure out if they leaked any information about him to other people.
Even if only one person was present, he'd still be able to find where the other two were by taking a look at his memories while completely disarming whatever they had planned for him.
However, the one thing he missed in his grand scheme was that he couldn't determine where Baldy was at because he only saw the man watching him through an iPad in a room with white walls. The room was devoid of any identifying markers.
"This is quite interesting, isn't it? Where is he?'
Su Yang scrutinized the information and found himself looking at Baldy on a screen.
So, he pretended to look into the sky at a 45-degree angle, making it look like he was contemplating something but he actually found a drone hovering in the air some distance away from him.
Su Yang was speechless.
'They're observing me with a drone? That's too advanced, isn't it? 'How am I going to determine his location?'
Drones could be controlled from quite a distance — five to ten kilometers for an entry-level drone. A drone modded with a flight-control module would be able to extend that range to 150 kilometers which was simply too large a range, making it impossible to determine the location of the person controlling it.
As he thought about this, Su Yang realized that his plan tonight had failed.
So, he acted as if nothing had happened and chatted with Janet for a while before they parted, leaving the small garden.
After leaving, his ability deactivated. Su Yang looked up at the sky and saw the drone following Janet instead.
It made perfect sense. After all, Su Yang's identity was already made clear to the other party so there was nothing else for them to be concerned about.
Janet was also a new breakthrough for them and was significantly more valuable for surveillance.
Su Yang silently brought Little Deeny out, telling her to tell Janet to take a few more rounds, preferably somewhere the drones couldn't reach so he could shake them off his tail.
Janet had bone conduction headphones on her. As long as she gets the message and stayed alert, she'd be fine.
With that, Su Yang looked up from his eavesdropping device and returned to his room with a frown.
He felt like the failure of tonight's plan was mainly because he didn't expect the other party to use a drone for surveillance.
If he had known this earlier, he could've made arrangements to meet indoors instead, like a shopping mall where a drone couldn't be used. Since the drone would be rendered useless, the person investigating him would have to show up in person. However, just because he came up with a plan to break their surveillance techniques didn't mean he could capitalize on it right now. After all, meeting another person just after meeting something tonight would definitely arouse suspicion.
Because of this, Su Yang felt like it would be better to think about the matter in the long run.
Thinking along that line of thought, he quietly brought out the (Videotape To Make Up For Regrets) from the virtual space and affixed it to his forehead.
He made a copy of his memories from the afternoon he entered the house to the time when he discovered the bugs. Then, he gave the copy to Little Deeny and asked her to determine just how much information he had leaked.
30 seconds later, Little Deeny sent him a few keywords. Su Yang was relieved as he only revealed a few things. The main information he revealed was regarding the virtual space. One of the other things that were more likely to arouse suspicion is the sentence, "…you guys fix all of this!" Finally, the chants by the little monster beans and the screams were also likely to make them suspicious. However, these bits of pieces didn't form a coherent thread of clues so the other party probably couldn't make a proper guess as to what they were doing exactly. They'd probably probe and continue listening in by themselves so they could uncover more clues.
In the next two days, it was crucial that he didn't reveal any more information. He had to act normal and also use the key words he had mentioned to act it out occasionally. Most importantly, he had to keep any and all information pertinent to his special abilities a secret.
Thinking along that line of thought, Su Yang left the room and waited patiently for Janet to come home.
Soon, Janet gently opened the door and walked in.
Su Yang took her back into the virtual space and asked her some questions. After making sure there were no problems, he returned to the real world to clean up and close the curtains.
Since the other party had already sent out a surveillance drone, they couldn't leave the window. This was an easy loophole that could be manipulated.
After doing all this, Su Yang returned to the virtual space. He would begin planning how he'd draw the snake out of the hole.
At this point, his special abilities made him extremely strong. As long as he knew the location of the other party, he could catch or even kill them without even causing the least bit of suspicion.
There were two ways for him to locate the other party. One was if the other party exposed their location by themselves. The other way was if he could get his hands on their names.
However, this group was indeed much more professional than the security guards of Longteng Jiayuan. Until this moment, they hadn't revealed any clues so this caused Su Yang quite a bit of a headache.
He knew that he had to be calm and composed. At this time, both sides were waiting for the other to reveal their weaknesses. Whoever couldn't keep their calm would be the one on the losing end.
If he rashly used his ability but failed to get a hold of the other party, or accidentally expose the fact that he had special abilities, then the other party would make use of this fact to immediately spread the news. If that were to happen, it would be rather troublesome.
On the other hand, the other party would also lose everything if they took the initiative to spy on them personally or reveal information regarding their name and location by mistake. Wait. All he had to do was wait.
In his determination, an image suddenly appeared before him. (Heaven's Eye) activated. It was a luxurious-looking hotel. The same three people who had infiltrated his home in the past were there.
Baldy had an iPad in his hand. As he looked at it, he said, "Do you guys feel like Su Yang is rather strange?" Slouched halfway back in his chair, Sea Serpent asked, "What's strange?"
Baldy stroked his chin. "There were obviously two people in his house. How did that man just disappear without making a sound ever again?"
Su Yang's heart thumped. He didn't plan for Janet to appear afterward. However, this fact alone would only be unusual at most. It wasn't an important clue.
The monkey who was peeling apples at the side suggested, "Go back to the house. I was telling you to put in more bugs and you didn't listen!"
Baldy nodded silently.
The image came to an abrupt end here.
Su Yang's gaze flickered with cold light. 'I'm an ordinary person, not a professional. Getting me to make a mistake is rather simple. These three people are simply too dangerous so I've got to resolve the matter as soon as possible.'
Just as he was thinking this, images suddenly appeared in front of him again. It was still the same location from his earlier vision with the same three people.
It seemed like the other party mentioned his name again.
Baldy said, "It's always easy to miss clues when you can only hear the sound and not see the picture. I use the drone to check out his house later."
Sea Serpent had gone from leaning on the chair to lying on the table. "I don't care. As long as it doesn't disturb my sleep."
Monkey, on the other hand, threw away the apple in his hand, picked up another one, and continued peeling it, "Other than Su Yang, don't you care about the other suspects?"
Baldy stroked his smooth head. "I'm still most suspicious of him. I'm even more suspicious after finding out he has some strange people around him."
The other two didn't speak and the image came to an abrupt end.
Su Yang contemplated. It seems like I was right to protect myself by closing the curtains to prevent anyone from sighting me. However, Su Yang went out to take a look once again to make sure that all the curtains and doors that could see inside the house were all closed before he returned to the virtual space just to be on the safe side. Once he was done with that, he prepared to get some rest. Before going to sleep, he received a message from Pan Zhaodi of only two words. (Thank
you).
Su Yang knew that she had probably taken care of the dowry she owed.
He was actually quite happy for her. In his view, there was no winner in this marriage. Pan Zhaotie, Liu Laoliu, or their parents, they were all victims.
'Hmm… Perhaps, Pan Zhaotie's parents were the only victors?'
Su Yang didn't ask her about the exact course of her day since it was probably mostly unpleasant. So, he just sent a message and asked, [When you came to my house today, did you see any strangers, or notice anything unusual?]
Pan Zhao Di's reply was still very brief. (No.]
Well, it seems that those three people really do things without leaving a trace. Su Yang now hoped that they would come to his house once more so he could just catch them and see what they were up to! Time passed but Su Yang was unable to sleep, probably due to something on his mind. He crawled up and looked at the time and saw that it was already 1:00 p.m. 'Have they arrived?'
Putting on his clothes and coming downstairs, Su Yang sat on the sofa and called out an interface, wanting to play a few games to relieve his gloomy mood.
Just as he successfully got a match, he saw Satantan on the table. 'Hm… Since the other party is using a drone and I can't monitor or track them myself, can I send Satantan out for a try? After all, this guy can fly…'
Thinking along that line of thought, Su Yang woke Satantan up and released it from the virtual space, asking it to keep an eye out for any drones. It was instructed to return if there was any news.
To facilitate communication between both sides, Su Yang even affixed a bone conduction headset to Satantan's body. Although they determined that Satantan couldn't hear a thing after the experiment, Su Yang was still able to hear it speak.
It was better than nothing.
At the same time, the other three people in the hotel gathered around the table and activated the drone as well.
The drone carefully bypassed some tall buildings and other shorter buildings as it followed a map to arrive in Su Yang's neighborhood.
When the picture on the iPad showed Su Yang's window, Monkey looked up and saw a pitch-black image. Nothing could be seen so he said as he swallowed the noodles in his mouth, "There's no way for us to see anything from this image."
Baldy pressed a button as he operated it. "It's fine. There's an infrared night vision mode."
The night vision mode turned on and the image became snowy white. It was as if the colors had been inverted but the details were still visible.
Monkey took another look but Su Yang's window was covered by curtains so he couldn't see anything. "The guy pulled his curtains."
Baldy had an excited look in his eyes. "Looks like he's very careful."
Monkey was on the side with his head down in an attempt to solve a Rubik's cube. "What does this have to do with being careful? Who doesn't draw the curtains at night."
Baldy was speechless. He had a point.
Baldy wasn't anxious at all. "It's fine, our drone is also fitted with thermal imaging. After I turn it on, I'll be able to clearly see what he's doing in the room."
Saying that, he turned on the thermal imaging mode.
Once the thermal imaging mode was on, all objects emitting heat were displayed on the screen. The large man said, "Huh? How strange… Why is there no one in the other room?"
When he finished, he looked to the other two. "Did you hear him go out?"

Chapter 293 Since You Can't Play, Let's Hang Up!
The question from Baldy froze both Sea Serpent and Monkey. Monkey stopped trying to solve his Rubik's cube, looked up, frowned, and said, "It doesn't seem like it."
Sea Serpent, on the other hand, scratched his head in confusion, and said, "I don't remember him going out either."
The room momentarily became quiet.
The iPad displayed the thermal image of Su Yang's room in the silent hotel room.
After a while, Baldy slapped the table. "This isn't right! Let's retreat!" After saying that , he stuffed the iPad into the bag and quickly packed his things. Sea Serpent and Monkey shed their laziness and irritability away as well as they quickly got up to help Baldy neatly put the equipment away.
Because of their cautious nature, the three men refrained from bringing any personal effects into the room so there was nothing but the equipment in the room. After they packed the equipment, they got up and left. They were calm and 'business-savvy' despite feeling like they had to hurry in their hearts. As they left the hotel, they made sure to exit like ordinary people and didn't even bother checking out of their room.
Once outside the hotel, all three hailed down a taxi on the roadside, gave the driver a location, and was immediately driven there.
Then, all of them got into a car they had parked there earlier and rounded the Paul's Hill area before ending up at a hotel that didn't require any ID to book a room.
"Three rooms, please." Baldy slapped the money on the counter.
The hotel owner looked up at the three of them and requested for identification. "ID cards."
Baldy bared his teeth and smiled. "The three of us had an emergency and forgot to bring them."
The hotel owner took a closer look at them and finally took the money.
As he looked for their room card, he cautioned, "Don't cause any trouble for me. If I smell something off, I'll just call the police."
Baldy replied, "No, no. We're all decent people."
"Yeah." The hotel owner nodded before taking out three room cards to give to them.
Baldy took the room cards and went upstairs with Sea Serpent and Monkey
After they entered their rooms, all three took turns to leave their rooms through different means. They left through the front and back entrances of the hotel before walking for a kilometer. Then, they hailed another taxi.
After getting in a taxi once more, all three went to a fancy hotel and checked in once more.
This time, Baldy pulled out his ID card. After checking in, the three didn't return to their respective rooms. Instead, all of them went to Baldy's room.
When they arrived at the room, the three men were silent.
Monkey brought out a Rubik's cube from his pocket, scrambled it grumpily, and said in a muffled voice, "Have we really been exposed this time?"
Baldy touched his wrinkly head. "I guess so. Else, explaining the anomalies that happened wouldn't be that difficult."
After saying that, Baldy extended his thick fingers. "There are three points. Firstly. There should clearly be two people in the room. One was him while the other was a woman. However, after the woman took her orders from him, she was no longer heard from. "Secondly. He suddenly said some odd things and made an appointment with someone to meet outside. I arrived half an hour late because I couldn't find the location but the other person didn't even leave. It was like he had been waiting for me. "Thirdly. He obviously got home but wasn't in his room in the middle of the night.
"That's obviously when he discovered the abnormality. It was shortly after he came in. He deliberately staged a play to delay us so he could investigate us."
Sea Serpent's black eyes were much heavier, and he raised his hand lazily, "I agree with Baldy's analysis."
Baldy looked at Sea Serpent and continued, "I also have a feeling that that so-called (Virtual Space] should be one of their group's strongholds. Once they discovered our surveillance, he had that woman sneak off to that stronghold."
"As for the things he said after that along with those abnormal sounds, it's likely that he made those up to delay us. "After all this time, he's probably already mobilized his forces to locate us. Let's be careful and leave our original location behind. We'll continue from here."
His statement seemed to make sense to both of them, and Monkey muffled his reply as he continued his attempt at solving the Rubik's cube in his hands. "Hmm."
Sea Serpent yawned and squinted. "We were so careful. Even if they're tailing us, we probably shook them off. I'll go back to sleep first then… So sleepy."
Baldy replied, "Go ahead. I feel like we've been able to tentatively determine that he's our target. The next thing to think about is how we're going to deal with him."
Monkey nodded, got up, and walked out with Sea Serpent. The room became calm once more.
Baldy watched the door close, but the smile on his face slowly diminished.
His eyes flickered and he frowned again, whispering to himself, "It's definitely true that we're exposed. But… . when were we exposed? Were we really exposed when we first entered his room?
"If that (Virtual Space] was something he said by accident… Could it be something special? Two people disappearing into thin air…" Baldy stroked his bald head. "Is there something supernatural, or some unknown technology?
"It's interesting, really interesting."
Back in the room Monkey irritably took out an apple from the bag and quickly cut it. Then, he put away the knife in his hand, his eyes seemingly furious.
After a while, he threw the apple into the trash can and didn't wash up. He just laid on the bed, rolled the blanket over his body, and kept his clothes on as he went straight to sleep.
Sea Serpenthad a meeting in the other room and could hardly keep his eyes open as he yawned. However, he was nowhere near as sleepy as he had been during the meeting when he entered his own room. He kicked off his shoes and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. There, his eyes glazed over as he gazed out at the bustling Shanghai, and didn't speak for a long time. With an intriguing half-smile on his face, he got up, went to the bathroom, took a shower, blew his hair out, climbed into bed in slow motion, and turned off the main switch in his room.
"Click! Click! Click!" As the lights were turned off in succession, the room plunged into darkness…
Meanwhile, Su Yang had been listening to Satantan's report from the virtual space, "Master Su Yang, the drone you spoke of has appeared. It's hovering by your window."
"Master Su Yang, the drone has been parked here."
"Master Su Yang, the drone has been flying around your house for a week." "Master Su Yang, the drone isn't moving."
"Master Su Yang, the drone hasn't moved for 10 minutes."
"Master Su Yang, the drone hasn't moved for an hour."
Su Yang was half lying on the sofa and was in the middle of a MOBA game while listening to Satantan's voice echoing from the living room. Halfway through the reports, he raised his head, a little confused. "The drone hasn't moved for an hour? Why? If it can't see anything, why isn't it leaving?"
Su Yang was a bit baffled.
He would never have guessed that the person controlling the drone has discovered Su Yang's knowledge of their existence. They had abandoned their drone in their escape.
After a while, Satantan said, "Master Su Yang, that drone seems to have accidentally crashed. It fell down and crashed."
"Crashed? Fell down?'
Su Yang felt like the events were simply too peculiar.
He thought about it and asked Janet to morph into her (Water Form) to go out, break off the drone's power supply, and bring it home.
Soon, Janet returned to Su Yang with the wreckage of the drone along with a pile of broken parts.
After inspecting it, Su Yang found that… The information on it was completely unreadable.
Once Satantan returned, Su Yang gave it the (Video Tape To Make Up For Regrets) and asked it to extract its memories from that night.
After extracting it, Su Yang gave Little Deeny the video of Satantan's memories and the wreckage of the drone to analyze.
After that, he had nothing else to do so he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next day, Su Yang found that there was an additional interface in front of him. Apparently, Little Deeny had already made a report and put it in front of him. Su Yang opened it and read it. He realized that Little Deeny had set up a core specializing in learning various knowledge branches related to drones and cameras.
Then, she discovered that this drone had three cameras. A regular camera, an infrared night-vision camera, and a thermal imaging camera.
After analyzing the data along with Satantan's memories, she also found that the drones switched cameras twice when it was being operated. Later, it stopped moving once it switched to the thermal imaging camera.
After stopping for close to an hour, a gust of wind threw the drone off balance so it hit the wall and got damaged.
'Thermal imaging?'
Su Yang opened another interface, looked up the function of the camera, and found that it could display an image as long as the object gave off heat. Even if the object was behind walls or curtains, an image would still be available.
Su Yang was dumbfounded.
'Is this even possible? Why do you have all this equipment? Isn't this military equipment?'
Su Yang felt that his intelligence and common sense had been crushed. The other party had too many tricks up their sleeves, and he was just an ordinary person that couldn't think that comprehensively.
If this continued, he would definitely be exposed more and more!
Looking at Little Deeny's analysis, the other party seemed incredibly cautious despite being in a pile of trouble themselves. Based on his estimation, they realized that Su Yang wasn't there. So, they got afraid that they were being tracked and left, not wanting to be revealed. They were even willing to leave their drone behind.
If this confrontation continued, he would be played like a fiddle to death! After all, it seemed like preventing this confrontation was an impossible feat!
'How am I going to reverse this disadvantage?'
Su Yang thought for a while and felt like there was only one way out.
'It's… Hang on.
'As long I can add points to an item that can directly locate my opponent, I can win this 'war'!'
With that in mind, Su Yang opened his system store and checked it out.
Gold Quest: (8056/10000).
Points: 2260.
Random Points: 0.
Bronze Points: 3.
Su Yang calculated that he had close to 2800 point coins last Wednesday along with another 3 random points.
However, he had added points to two masks Janet, and the (Grass Eating Iron Pot] these past few days. He also bought two Guardian Talismans — one to use on Janet, and the other for himself.
That cost him 3 Random Points and 700 coins.

Chapter 294 The Beautiful Secretary Who Comes To Work Early In The Morning
'I felt like I was very cool when I used it but I didn't think it'd actually cost that much. I didn't realize I only had 2,000 coins left.
'However, I unknowingly saved three Bronze Points."
Su Yang had planned to use a Bronze Point for his abilities. The remaining points would be used once the cooldown for the (Lucky Disfiguring Brick) was up 'Let's see what nice abilities I can randomly get.'
'As for my Gold Missions, they're on track for completion and are over 80% done. It looks like the system will be upgraded soon. I'm really looking forward to a system upgrade.
'However, I'm going to have to save up an extra random point. After all, I'll be able to make the monsters and special items around me 3 after the system upgrade. I'll definitely need a large number of Random Points then.'
However, it was still a critical moment although he had to save up more Random Points. If he didn't sort those three people out soon, Su Yang felt like he'd be in trouble sooner or later so he'd eventually have to add these points as well!
While deep in thought, he opened the system store.
It was Tuesday, a new week, and the system store had been refreshed with three items.
Random points x 4
Guardian talisman x 10
Lipstick of Unknown Abilities. 'Hmm. Lipstick of Unknown Abilities? What's this thing…!
If it wasn't because the system store wanted to give him this option, it was unlikely that Su Yang would add points to lipstick in his life. After all, it was something for a woman.
Su Yang couldn't help but think. 'Since the lipstick is available, would there eventually be a face wash, foundation, or even divine water with unknown abilities in the future? Something like that…
'Ahem, this is really something to look forward to…'
Ignoring this unattractive special item, Su Yang first redeemed a Random Point, and the coins changed from 2260 to 1760 as his Random Point count increased from o to 1.
After redeeming a Random Point, Su Yang got up and went to look for Little Hus. After all, he was adding points and still relied on Little Hus's [Opportunity Sniffing]
Lately, Little Hus hardly went anywhere else and stayed in the utility room all day as he made drawings of Janet. The company had been in the process of developing a new product which would be the first of its kind in the world.
In fact, Su Yang wanted to tell Dagger Girl, "If you're ever kidnapped, just blink your eyes." Unfortunately, Dagger Girl wouldn't be able to open her eyes so she couldn't blink at all.
As he thought this, Su Yang went to the utility room, and as expected, it was drawing Janet's picture.
'I have to say, it actually made some progress!' There were now five more lines in Janet's hand in the drawing. This meant that Little Hus was drawing increasingly realistic drawings, even to the point where people in his drawing had five fingers.
Dagger Girl, on the other hand, was sitting around while shaking her blade-shaped hand in boredom.
Occasionally, Little Hus would sneak up on her to poke her with a little horn. Then, she'd react by immediately clapping her hands. "Wow! Little Hus, you draw so amazingly! Sister Janet is really pretty!"
Every now and then, an ambitious smile would be plastered on Little Hus's face
'This… It really was a kidnapping, wasn't it! It must be!'
As he sputtered in his mind, Su Yang told Dagger Girl that he'd be borrowing Little Hus again and carried it out.
After going out this time, Su Yang even made a point to turn around to look. As a result, he found that the moment his left foot left the room, she had already crawled out of the utility room to play the moment his other foot stepped out of the room.
After pulling Little Hus out, Su Yang looked at it and said, "I'm in desperate need of a special item."
Little Hus had a look of displeasure on his face after being disturbed. "What item?"
Su Yang mulled it over, "There's no need for any conditions. I just need to know the appearance. You can look for human items." Little Hus's face wrinkled up. "I… I'll try my best. It feels difficult."
Su Yang replied, "I don't want you to feel. I want me to feel! I need this item and it's very important. No matter what you do, you've got to get it for me!"
Then, Su Yang offered, "I can give you some benefits."
Little Hus asked carelessly, "What kind of benefits?"
Su Yang answered, "I'm not going with you to look for it this time. I'll let Janet accompany you instead."
Upon hearing the name Janet, the eyes of the dog head on the pillow lit up. "Really?!"
Su Yang nodded. Immediately after saying that, he asked, "Janet. I have something for you over here."
In the middle of their conversation, Janet appeared and Su Yang handed Little Hus over to him, instructing him to bring it around to look for special items.
Then, Su Yang gave Janet 10,000 yuan in cash and told her to use a cab to look for the items.
Janet had always been the kind of person who was cruel and didn't say much. After taking the money, Little Hus went outside to begin looking for special items.
With Janet taking his share of responsibilities, Su Yang could have some time to relax, but he wasn't idle either. The first thing he did when he returned to the real world was to destroy the bug. Since the other party had already realized their discovery of the bugs, he had no need to continue pretending. Then, he packed up his things and prepared to move to his basement. 'I'm exposed and it's unsafe.'
The basement should be safe long enough to give himself a buffer period.
After all, he was still an ordinary person despite possessing a lot of special items. A knife wound or a shot would still kill him so he had to put safety as his first priority.
However, he didn't expect the doorbell to ring just as soon as he packed a few things.
Su Yang was in awe.
He looked at the time. 'It's only 7:30 in the morning. Who's got so much time to look for me at this hour?'
There weren't many people who knew about this location. 'Did those three people come to the door?'
Now that Janet wasn't here and Pool went to work with the rest, Su Yang was a little hesitant. He didn't know if he should hide or break another finger to just kill them.
Although he knew killing the other party would be the best decision, he wasn't sure who was outside the door. If it was just a meter checker, his finger would've been broken for nothing! 'It's going to hurt all day!'
After mulling it over for a moment, Su Yang made up his mind. 'Whatever! I should wash my hands with soap as an insurance policy. Let's see what happens!'
As he thought about it, Su Yang got the (Unorthodox Soap) from the virtual space and was just about to go to the toilet.
However, just as he was about to wash his hands, Pan Zhaodi's cold and clear voice came from outside the door, "Mr. Su. Are you at home?"
'Huh? Pan Zhaodi?'
Su Yang stopped what he was doing, then shoved the soap into his pocket as he returned to the door. He looked through the peephole and it was indeed Pan Zhaodi.
He refrained from looking through the peephole because there were many movies and dramas where the lead actor would be killed after getting shot through the peephole. While he didn't know who the other party was, he was definitely more reluctant to die.
After he confirmed that Pan Zhaodi was alone, Su Yang opened the door.
Standing outside the door, Pan Zhaodi was the blue uniform that Su Yang once wore when he first met her.
The tight-fitting uniform on her body and the bulge of her bosom made her look tall and sexy.
Her slender legs looked as good as Chu Xia's but were probably darker due to her years of martial arts training. However, they were still more toned compared to Chu Xia.
Coupled with her cold, expressionless face, her image of an ascetic secretary was exhilarating.
Seeing Su Yang open the door, she bowed slightly toward him. "Mr. Su, I'm here to report for work."
"Uhh…
"Report for work?
'Is she really going to be my secretary…
'And she's here the very next day. That's rather fast, isn't it?' Su Yang coughed. "That… Okay. Wait for me. I'll clean up first."
After saying that, he wanted to continue packing, but Pan Zhaodi reached out to stop him. "Mr. Su, I'll do it."
After offering her services, she walked into the room with both her slender legs and began helping Su Yang gather his things.
Su Yang didn't have much and this was originally her home. She knew the things that had been there and the ones that were new so it didn't take her long to pack up.
After packing up his things, Pan Zhaodi turned to Su Yang and said, "Mr. Su, you didn't wash up today. I'll accompany you to wash up first."
After saying that, she went into the toilet and helped Su Yang squeeze some toothpaste onto the toothbrush before filling a cup with water.
Su Yang was speechless.
'Does a secretary have this kind of duty?'
Since Pan Zhaodi had already done those things, he couldn't refuse and followed her into the bathroom.
Once he was in the toilet, Pan Zhaodi handed him the cup and toothbrush.
Su Yang took it and brushed his teeth. As soon as he finished brushing his teeth, Pan Zhaodi took the initiative to take the cup and toothbrush that Su Yang had used before pointing to the basin. "Su Yang, you can spit the water there. I'll put the used water away."
Su Yang was speechless.
"Ok, now, wash your face."
After wetting his face, Su Yang wanted to reach out and take the face wash, but Pan Zhaodi had already squeezed it into her hand, reaching over to give it to him.
Su Yang was utterly speechless now. He scraped the face wash from Pan Zhaodi's hand. Then, he lathered it on his face and washed it off. The moment he was done, a towel was already waiting in front of him.
Su Yang was now convinced.
After packing up, Pan Zhaodi took his things and returned to the basement with Su Yang. When she went to the basement, Pan Zhaodi didn't even bat an eyelid to Su Yang living in such a place or have any other thoughts.
After putting down the things, Pan Zhaodi took out her cell phone and stood in front of Su Yang. "Director Su, I need the phone numbers of every head of every department in the company along with your scheduled meetings with them. I'll be helping you with your schedule for the various meetings, events, meals, and private events."
"If there's anything you'd like to do or events you'd like to schedule, I'll book the venue in advance and help you plan your time and arrangements. I'll be a dutiful secretary that lives up to the trust you put in me."
Su Yang was speechless but believed her. 'Alright then.'
So next, Su Yang gave her the phone number for Wang Dong and the rest.
Pan Zhaodi took the initiative to call the department heads so Su Yang could verify her identity. Then, she began taking note of the various arrangements and matters within the company.
Looking at Pan Zhaodi's beautiful neck as she held a mobile phone to note things down, Su Yang thought. This half a million I spent was really worthwhile!'
When Pan Zhaodi hung up the phone, he gave her the phone numbers to the people in charge of the Find Me app, the agency, along with the film and television company. Then, he asked her to include those in her arrangements as well.
Pan Zhaodi obediently wrote down the phone number along with the list of staff. Then, she began making calls.
She was busy until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. She had put together the affairs of several companies, listed the articles of association in an orderly manner before planning Su Yang's schedule.
Su Yang was amazed throughout the whole process. 'Pan Zhaodi seems like an easy-going person but she's not just a martial artist… Who would've guessed that she makes a great secretary too?
Should I get her to submit her resume and evaluate her with the (A Talent Printer That Likes To Jog]?
Just as Su Yang was thinking about this, Little Deeny vibrated in his pocket. Su Yang picked it up for a look and saw a message. (Master, Janet found something. We need to speak with you.]
'Huh? Is Janet looking for the items by himself? Did he find a special item?'

Chapter 295 Janet Picks Up Something Odd
With that in mind, Su Yang looked at Pan Zhaodi.
Pan Zhaodi was slumped in her chair, writing and noting things down in her notebook while keying things into her phone. She looked like she was planning Su Yang's schedule on her phone against the recorded itinerary and plans.
Seeing that Pan Zhaodi was busy, Su Yang got up and said to her, "I'm going out to take a call."
For Su Yang, everyone was equal, and it'd be normal if Pan Zhaodi stayed here while he went out to take a call.
As a result, Pan Zhaodi stood up in a hurry and said to him, "Mr. Su. You make the call in the house. I'll go out and wait for you. Just call me after you're done."
After saying that, she stepped out of the basement with her slender legs and closed the door behind her, standing guard in front of it for him after the door was closed.
Su Yang was speechless.
'Ahem, this is too 'polite'.
'She doesn't just look like a secretary but is also a bodyguard.
'With Pan Zhaodi's skills, I've really landed the jackpot this time.'
While the thoughts ran through his mind, Su Yang put Little Deeny to his ears, wanting to talk to Janet.
Janet didn't have a cell phone. Instead, Su Yang gave him a bone conduction headset so they could communicate through Little Deeny.
Su Yang asked, "Janet, do you have any special items with you?"
Indistinguishable from a woman's voice, Janet spoke through the received, "My Lord. Little Hus and I have searched all over Shanghai and haven't found what you need."
"Haven't found any, have you?"
Then, Su Yang told her about his previous experience looking for one, "I couldn't find any in the city in the past as well. However, I found some in out-of-the-way places. You might find some there if you try.'
Janet replied, "We did find something in a small shop in the middle of nowhere. However, it might not be what you want, Lord."
Su Yang didn't understand what Janet was trying to tell him. "What do you mean?"
Janet explained, "Although we didn't find the item that you were looking for, my Lord, we found another item that can be used together to have the same effect."
Su Yang asked her to proceed, "Continue." Janet continued, "We searched for a long time and couldn't find something that could directly locate them so we changed our thought process. My Lord, since you have the (Fruit-loving Fountain Pen), you actually only need to know the names of those three people to find their addresses.
"So I went along with that idea and found something… It's a phone booth."
Su Yang was surprised. "A phone booth?"
Janet confirmed. "Yes, a phone booth."
Janet added, "It's an old abandoned phone booth that seems to be covered in dirt. Little Hus took a whiff and said it had a strong scent."
"I'm looking for a vehicle to transport it to you."
'Although I don't quite understand what a phone booth and a person's name have to do with one another, special items had too many of these quirky properties.' Su Yang said, "Alright, see if you can find a car to transport it over here. If you can't find any, I'll come to get you."
After they stopped conversing, Su Yang received a message from Janet. [I paid five times the price to a person and used my appearances to convince him. Finally, I succeeded in getting us a car." After hearing Janet's progress report through Little Deeny, Su Yang shivered. 'Janet using her appearances, acting cute to get a car… That's not an image I want in my mind.'
After dealing with Janet's matter, Su Yang called Pan Zhaodi in. Once she walked into the basement, Pan Zhaodi still acted like a competent female secretary. She brought out a notebook and said to Su Yang, "Mr. Su, I've made a list of your plans for tomorrow. I hope you'll be able to make a decision."
After seeing Su Yang nod, she said, "You don't have any meetings or work that you have to do tomorrow. There are four other arrangements you can choose from.
"One. 'Fighting Buddha' will officially begin shooting tomorrow. There'll be a small opening ceremony at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow but no media will be present. It's just to be festive. Both Producer Zhao and Producer Chen Xiaoyun would like you to attend this ceremony."
"Two. The legal department of Qidian E-Commerce has already sorted out the documents for the health care company. The healthcare product company is ready to operate, and they're asking about the next step you have in mind."
"Three. Today, the Find Me App's (Hundred Days of Stars) campaign has officially started, and Director Li Zijun wants you to take a moment to have a look. She wants your opinion and has already sent a list of details over."
"Four. The second quarterly report of Qidian E-Commerce has been prepared. It requires your to attend to it."
After saying that, Pan Zhaodi put down her notebook, crossed her hands over her flat belly, and stood straight in front of Su Yang. "Finally, there's a personal matter. Your coach told me to tell you that there's an exam this Friday. I'd suggest you hurry up and study for
it."
"Coach… An exam?" Su Yang was a bit confused.
Pan Zhaodi explained, "The driving instructor. Section one."
Su Yang: was speechless.
'I'll go! I forgot I signed up for driving school.
'Turns out I didn't even take the test! I thought I'd gotten my license!'
Su Yang mulled it over. 'Forget about the opening ceremony for 'Fighting the Buddha.' I don't have much time lately from the leaked information.
'I should also proceed with the healthcare company. I should rent a space and let the three people leave the milk tea shop for testing and research. Then, once we apply for the relevant approvals, we can begin production.
'Has the (Hundred Days of Stars] actually started? That was fast! i'll take a look later. After all, this is the first time my company is conducting a large-scale promotion.
'As for the quarterly reports, I'll have a look at them later. Last quarter was just a month ago so there shouldn't be any surprises.' Once he was done thinking about it, Su Yang told Pan Zhaodi his decision. "Refuse the invitation to the opening ceremony. Then, look into renting a space that's suitable for research and development for the healthcare company. I'll recruit some people to start our efforts in RD once that's done.
"As for the Find Me app's affairs along with the second quarterly report for Qidian E-Commerce, pass me a copy of those on WeChat, and I'll take a look at it later."
After saying that, Su Yang looked at the time and estimated that Janet would be back soon. "That's it. Thanks for the hard work. You can continue your work at home. Just handle some of my chores for me.
"I've got something else going on right now, so you can get off work."
Pan Zhaodi had the qualities an excellent secretary should have. She didn't even hesitate or ask Su Yang what he was going to do next after he spoke to her about his decision. Instead, she merely bowed. "Okay, Mr. Su, see you tomorrow morning."
After saying that, she left the basement.
At this time, Su Yang realized that they had been talking about these things in a stuffy and humid basement. Su Yang was in a trance, and thought that he was sitting in the business building in the central downtown business district of Shanghai, chatting with Pan Zhaodi.
After all, she was a little too professional to even bat an eyelid at things like this.
After Pan Zhaodi left, Janet soon returned to the basement while carrying an old phone booth. Naturally, it attracted the curious eyes of many of the older ladies in the neighborhood.
After all, a beautiful foreign woman carrying an abandoned phone booth was a strange scene to behold no matter how you sliced it. This was gossip fodder for the old ladies as they chatted about it.
"Ouch. Look at this foreign girl carrying a phone booth."
"Yeah, looks like life abroad isn't so good after all."
"It isn't. It's really hard."
"It's better in my own country."
"That's what I'm saying."
After Janet moved the abandoned phone booth in, Su Yang took a look at it and realized that it was an open phone booth. It had a semicircle on top with an eggshell-like cover covering the front, a telephone inside, and an arm-thick pole on the bottom like a shorter but thicker streetlight.
The phone booth looked rusty all over and even the paint was falling off. It was tattered as could be and was covered in dirt and filth. He didn't know where Janet picked it up. It was no wonder nobody asked about it. After all, it looked like trash and nobody would've bothered even if it was stolen.
When Su Yang finished measuring the booth, he looked at Janet and Little Hus who was covered in dirt. He said, "You guys go wash up. It's been a hard day for you guys."
Janet replied without hesitation, "It's my honor as your subordinate to bow and scrape for you, my Lord."
Little Hus, on the other hand, was lying in Janet's arms. It was starry-eyed and didn't have time to pay Su Yang any heed. He seemed to have become a nymphomaniac.
After sending them both back to the virtual space, Su Yang took a look at the phone booth in front of him and contemplated.
'Can this phone booth let me know the name of other people?
'Do I call the other person and ask them?'
After thinking for a moment, Su Yang decided not to think so much about it. After all, time was running out.
He opened the system without hesitation, and a translucent ] suddenly appeared on top of the dilapidated phone booth.
Su Yang extended his hand and tapped the ] above the phone booth.
With a flicker of light, the point addition was completed
Every time he added a point to an item for the first time, this would happen. Su Yang was now used to it.
After adding the point, Su Yang took out the (Small Bench That Refuses To Eat Melons] from the virtual space and sat down. Popcorn, coke, melon seeds, and watermelon appeared at his feet. The watermelon and coke were actually chilled as well. 'In this kind of hot and humid weather, I should eat a piece of watermelon to cool off.'
Although Su Yang rarely enjoyed eating watermelons, he still picked up the slice of watermelon and nibbled on it.
As he nibbled on it, Su Yang brought Little Dee out and opened WeChat. Pan Zhaodi was worthy of being called a competent secretary. She had already sent over the two documents Su Yang wanted to see. Su Yang looked at the first one. It was the quarterly report of Qidian E-Commerce.
After all, only 30 days passed from May 29th to June 30th when Su Yang took over Junqing.
During those 30 days, Qidian E-Commerce ran with an overhead of 1.3 million yuan. From that, more than 800,000 were labor costs while the remaining 400,000 or so yuan were operating expenses.
The revenue was almost negligible.
For this report, Su Yang actually had a prediction in mind. Apart from the 800,000 or so worth of salaries, the 400,000 or so worth of operating expenses were mainly for the maintenance of the company's relationships so he could 'inherit' Junqing. There was no need to spend that much in the future.
So, it was understandable to spend so much money in the first month.
The lack of revenue was expected as well. After all, it was a quarterly report, and it ends in June.
A month's time was just spent setting up the company so having no revenue was something rather normal. Su Yang recalled having a look at the account earlier. The company began having some revenue channeled into the accounts in July. Else, Su Yang wouldn't be able to randomly transfer 500,000 yuan without worrying about the company being under-capitalized. At this moment, the toughest days have already passed and the future seemed bright. After reading the quarterly report, Su Yang signed the electronic document to confirm that he had taken a look.
He took a glance or two at the phone booth and saw that the interface hadn't appeared yet. So, he opened the second file to look at it.
The second file was filled with information regarding the [Hundred Days of Stars).
Su Yang had actually been paying a lot of attention to the (Hundred Days of Stars] event.

Chapter 296 Special Item: Booth of Exchanging Secrets
He wasn't like the other bosses as he knew his strengths and weaknesses from the very start.
Naturally, the source of his strength was from the special items and little monsters under his command. They were all unique items in this world!
As for the shortcomings… Well, he had none.
And after using the (A Talent Printer That Likes To Jog), Su Yang knew that Li Zijun was indeed a talent.
After getting in touch, Su Yang realized that the girl was very strong despite being cute while having a petite stature.
Because of that, Su Yang relented complete control to her. 'I'll let you handle everything because of your skills. I believe you won't fail living up to the trust I've placed in you.
Today, it was finally time to have a look at the results.
Su Yang took a look at her plan and it was nothing outstanding in particular. It was the same plan he had discussed with Li Zijun in the past. It's just that Su Yang was a little unexpected that Li Zijun actually suggested a simple traffic exchange. Although there were a hundred celebrities on her list, the lowest was third-tier celebrities.
Then she ranked their influence from low to high.
Then, a traffic exchange would be done with the third-tier celebrities on the bottom with the Find Me App. They'd post videos on Weibo while the Find Me App utilized a full-screen advertisement along with a large banner on the homepage to boost their accounts and their videos on the Find Me App.
The celebrities would be able to promote themselves and their dramas.
The celebrities can promote themselves in the videos and also promote their dramas. The first 60 were all third-tier celebrities. They were ranked from smaller celebrities who had just breached the third tier to young celebrities and youngsters who were about to get stuck on the edge of the second tier.
The remaining 40 were all second, first, and top-tier celebrities.
While negotiating with them, Li Zujin took down notes about the amount of traffic they'd be exchanging between both parties.
For example, the Find Me App could only exchange 150,000 views from their active users for the first celebrity on the traffic exchange list.
However, when they reached the end of the list, the Find Me App would be able to garner 10 million views from their daily active users.
As soon as he took a look, Su Yang realized that Li Zijun had created a staggered traffic ladder. Her plan was to rely on the traffic these celebrities drove and rely on the Find Me App to trend so traffic generated would grow rapidly.
After all, the 100 celebrities would have to be using the Find Me App and use it to publish promotional videos in their microblog. The 100 videos from their accounts alone would account for a rather large pool of traffic.
Su Yang was giving Li Zijun a thumbs up in his heart.
'The system was really a d*ck when it evaluated her as a (Third-Tier Celebrity]!'
Thinking of her talents, Su Yang couldn't help but think about Pan Zhaodi again.
'I probably should've asked Pan Zhaodi to send over her resume, right? Let's see what level she's at. After all, she doesn't seem like a regular person based on how efficient she was at work today.'
With that in mind, Su Yang sent a WeChat message to Pan Zhaodi, asking her to send him a copy of her resume so he could put it into her file.
It was a bullsh*t reason but Pan Zhaodi didn't hesitate in her reply. (Alright.]
After a moment, her resume was sent to Su Yang's mailbox.
Su Yang didn't rush into looking at the resume but instead, he opened the Find Me App to see how the progress of the (Hundred Days of Stars) promotion was going.
Today was its first day so Su Yang saw a rather handsome-looking man appearing on the screen when he opened the app. The man smiled incomparably brightly on Su Yang's screen as he said, "Hi! I'm the first celebrity on the Find Me App, Qiao An. The Find Me App helps young people find me! Start using the Find Me App today!"
That image took over the entire screen for a good 5 seconds before the main interface for the app appeared.
'It looks rather compelling indeed!
'A single celebrity may not attract attention, but hundreds of them would be like having the most familiar faces in the country on the app!
'If that won't make it trend, then it would seem like there's no justice in this world!
Su Yang's heart was put at ease. 'Li Zijun is really a talent. If this promotion goes well, I can hand over the management and publicity work for the celebrities in the company to her.'
Just as Su Yang was planning it in his mind, the phone booth finally began gradually changing
Initially, the dirt and mud on it gradually seemed to disappear while some of its missing parts slowly recovered. However, it still seemed rusty.
After some time, an interface finally appeared above the phone booth.
[Abandoned Phone Booth 1: Acquired new special ability. Please confirm the appraisal.]
Su Yang felt like he was rather hopeful as he confirmed the appraisal. Two seconds later, a special item's interface appeared on an iron plate on the booth.
(Booth of Exchanging Secrets]
Ability: This booth allows you to call a person every day. The other person will definitely pick up and if their phone is turned off, their landline will ring. If they're outside, the nearest payphone will ring.
After picking up the call, both parties must say their names.
Once names are exchanged, you can exchange three secrets of your own with three secrets from the other party.
Restriction 1: You can only call the other person if you know what they look like.
Restriction 2: The secret exchanged must be similar to what the other person's answer. E.g. If you tell the other person that you had eggs for breakfast today, the other person would tell you what they had for breakfast today.
Note: Without giving there is no gain.
After reading the ability, Su Yang felt that it was… Utter bullsh*t.
'Why does it feel like every point I add ends up creating a special item? Are they so common? 'While it's true that this item can make us of the other party's name, it can also help in obtaining their address as well!
'Based on the introduction of the ability, I could just give the other party my address in exchange for theirs.
This way, I don't have to eat fruits and use the (Fruit-Loving Pen).'
Looking at the interface above the [Booth of Exchanging Secrets), Su Yang frowned while sitting on the table after studying it carefully.
It was because he realized that there was a huge drawback to using this item although it could obtain him any information he desired.
It would expose his secrets.
'After all, if a stranger calls and tells the other party who he is before spilling the beans on their secrets, the other person can't help but to reveal their secrets as well! That's a problem for sure!
'This thing can only be used to gather information on people I intend to dispose of. I can't use it on ordinary people or those who're just plain competitive.
'Else, it wouldn't take long before the world realizes I have superpowers.'
Naturally, Su Yang didn't feel anything in his heart if he were to use it on the three people spying on him. After all, he was going to get rid of them anyway and didn't care about them revealing any secrets he would reveal.
Thinking along those lines, Su Yang looked at the time and realized that it was 5 o'clock. There were still seven hours until the day ended.
He'd have to make use of his silver ability, [Hands of Fate] to get rid of them.
'It's going to remove another one of my fingers, and it'll hurt for 7 hours. Forget it, just bear with it and don't procrastinate!'
With that in mind, Su Yang brought the (Booth of Exchanging Secrets) into the virtual space after he went in. Then, he entered the phone booth for the first time.
When he went in, Su Yang felt like it was rather clean other than looking a little worn out. It just seemed as if it had been worn down by time.
After taking stock, he thought about Baldy, picked up the phone, and put it to his ear. When put the phone to his ear, his hand seemed to automatically dial a few numbers, completely out of his control. "Beep! Beep! Beep!" The phone began ringing on the other end.
Baldy was nicknamed Fake Monk because he was just a bald man despite looking like a bald monk.
On top of that, he was known in the organization for being a good fighter, which also happened to be the reason why he got the nickname.
Last night was a toss-up because he suspected that Su Yang had found him. However, he had good control of his routine and still got up at 6 a.m.
As usual, he didn't go to the hotel gym and just exercised in the room. Then, Baldy, Sea Serpent, and Monkey had a meeting to analyze Su Yang's information. They just wanted to make sure that Su Yang was Zhao Xiao's murderer.
Then, he gave the Sea Serpent and Monkey a break as he made plans by himself in the room.
Although he looked like a hitman, he was actually more famous in the organization not for his skills, but for his brains. He had a relatively meticulous and cautious brain.
That was why he was able to 'play' Su Yang in the palm of his hands without revealing his whereabouts.
The three of them were different from the others in the organization. They were the backbone of the organization so they couldn't kill just for the sake of killing. They also had to try to preserve their identity and escape. This was also the reason he made this plan.
The plan would take one day. At 4:30 p.m., Baldy would kidnap Su Yang, force a confession out of him, kill him, and destroy his body before the three of them retreat with ease.
After wrapping up his plan, he took a look at the steps he had put on paper as he analyzed the loophole. After analyzing his plan for almost half a day, he found no problems.
In his heart, he decided to go along with the plan tomorrow. 'With this plan in place, I believe that Su Yang will be doomed!' With that in mind, Baldy brought the plan over to Sea Serpent and Monkey so they could discuss the plan with him in the room.
At that moment, his phone began ringing.
Baldy looked at it and the caller id only showed one word — Boss.
'Huh, why did the boss call me? Is there an emergency?'
He had a sudden change of heart and picked up the call immediately.
However, he suddenly realized something was off when he picked up the call. They would never address each other by name in their organization. His boss would also call him with an unfamiliar phone or a burner. How could there be a call from a person with the word 'Boss' as the caller ID?
'I've never been so cautious when picking up a call! What the hell is going on here?!'
As these thoughts ran through his mind, he realized that his hand had automatically picked up the phone and put it to his ear without him realizing it.
Then, he heard a deep voice in his ear, "Hello. Hello. My name is Su Yang…"
His eyes widened as he felt a great fear descend upon him!

Chapter 297 Killing Baldy!
Although he couldn't move or speak at that moment, Baldy thought of many things. 'How did Su Yang know my phone number?
'Why is your name listed as Boss on my phone?
'Are you actually connected to me?'
For a moment, Baldy even suspected that he was actually an undercover agent sent by Su Yang that had amnesia. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense at all!
However, something even more terrifying happened. He found himself opening his mouth uncontrollably as he said in an equally low, monotonous voice, "Hello. My name is Liu Qiang."
If Baldy had just been able to convince himself into thinking he had amnesia, or that he had accidentally picked up the phone, then he was now in absolute fear!
'What's wrong with me?
'Why is this happening all of a sudden?
'Why am I uncontrollably talking!
'I don't want to talk!'
Baldy's eyes were so wide that they were about to pop out of their sockets as fear filled his expression.
Then he heard Su Yang whisper, "I don't have anyone around me right now, do you?"
Baldy replied uncontrollably, "There's no one around me either."
Their dialogue didn't sound out of the ordinary but it was also incomparably bizarre.
Baldy felt himself breaking out in a cold sweat, feeling like he was possessed by a ghost! How else could he explain this!
Su Yang continued, "One of my two friends is in the bathroom while the other is in his room. So… Where are the two accomplices who were with you last night?"
'Two accomplices?'
Baldy's brain was racing. 'Is he talking about Sea Serpent and Monkey?! What does this Su Yang want?'
Then, he 'saw' himself opening his mouth and saying, "My two friends are in the next room. One is in room 1106 while the other is in room 1108."
He told him the addresses of Sea Serpent and Monkey.
Baldy was going crazy!
He didn't know how Su Yang had done it, but he trusted his earlier judgment! This man had a problem and there was something very wrong with him.
Baldy felt like he had it all figured out. 'Since Su Yang can manipulate me into answering his questions! Then the so-called 'virtual space' must be real too! There must really be a space like this!
'As for that strange chant…"Bean! Bean! Bean!" It must be some demon, goblin, or some other strange creature! Do ghosts and spirits really exist in this world?' Baldy had guessed all these things before but he had been half-hearted. After all, he had no evidence and only had a recording.
Even if it really were ghosts and advanced technology, he was now more inclined to believe that Su Yang had exceedingly advanced technology in his possession that could even open up a pocket dimension!
Now that it was all laid out in front of him, he had to believe it!
"There really are superpowers in this world! There really are monsters!'
Although he guessed the truth, he was still unable to stop things from developing.
Then, Su Yang asked his third question, "I'm currently in the basement of Building 16, Fulu District, 142 Anyang Road, Baoshan, Shanghai. Where are you?"
Baldy was frightened and scared. Although he didn't know why Su Yang was revealing his location, his inner instincts made him resist saying anything. However, it was an exercise in futility. Aside from his mouth trembling along with his voice, he couldn't do anything else.
"I'm in room 1107 on the 11th floor of the Andorian Hotel in Puxi, Shanghai."
Once he answered the question, the call was immediately ended.
Baldy felt himself regain control of his body as he dropped the phone and tried to run out of the spooky room to inform Sea Serpent and Monkey that there was something wrong with that man! There was a big problem!
However, he suddenly felt a great fear descend upon him before he could run to the door. He shouted in despair toward the door, "Quick! Run!"
No sooner had he uttered the word 'quickly', everything stood still.
Dust drifted in the air, his vocal cords stilled in his throat as his voice stopped trembling while his mind stopped…
Virtual space. After exchanging secrets with the [Booth of Exchanging Secrets). Su Yang walked out of the phone booth as he lamented about the power of this ability.
Normally, Su Yang would have to leave a buffer to avoid the possible effects of continuous use of an ability on his body.
However, Baldy already knew about the special ability he had so Su Yang felt like he couldn't give him even the slightest room to breathe. After all, it would only take ten seconds for him to pass on what happened to him to others through WeChat or SMS.
In order to prevent any trouble in the future, Su Yang didn't hesitate in activating his silver ability, (Hands of Fate] as he left the booth.
He slowly lifted his hands and everything came to a standstill. That familiar pressure descended on his body once again as he gritted his teeth, pressing down on his palms with all his strength All he heard was a loud bang. After a bolt of lightning and black clouds rolled in from all directions, he was plunged into darkness…
A moment later, Su Yang appeared in front of the huge 'sandbox'.
Su Yang didn't waste any time. His eyes peered through a block-like arrangement of roads, and houses as he looked into the distance, silently reciting the hotel address that Baldy had left for him.
Then he shuttled among the city blocks, and a minute later, his gigantic figure appeared in the sky above Andorra Hotel. With his previous experience, Su Yang didn't hesitate to click on Andorra Hotel. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared from the sky above the hotel.
Entering the interior of the hotel, Su Yang's mind moved him. His entire body flew straight up, passing through a layer of concrete and stairs before he arrived on the 11th floor!
Then, he looked around and found room 1107.
Su Yang went straight to the door of the room and passed through without obstruction. There, he saw Baldy frozen in a running stance toward the doorway, his bloodshot eyes bulging with a face full of despair.
Su Yang moved with his mind. Then, Baldy's arms and legs were joined together and as he waved his hand, the room's window opened before Baldy was thrown from the window.
Right after that, Su Yang leaped out of the hotel as well.
Appearing over the hotel again, Su Yang once again regained his gigantic body. Then, he grabbed Baldy and silently recited the address of his basement. Suddenly, time and space warped and the block-like city moved around him and Baldy. A moment later, they returned to the basement.
After arriving, Su Yang glanced around the basement, and with a wave of his hand, a rope flew out from the corner, wrapping itself around Baldy before tying itself neatly in a bow.
After doing all this, before Su Yang put Baldy on the ground as the endless black clouds once again enveloped him from all directions. Su Yang's eyes suddenly became dark as his silver ability timed out.
When the ability ended, time returned to normal. Vehicles and pedestrians continued to move as if nothing had ever happened. On the other hand, room 1107 of the Andorra Hotel was now empty.
A summer breeze blew through the wide-open windows as the curtains fluttered in the wind…
Su Yang appeared in the virtual space after ending his silver ability. As he endured the pain of his broken finger, he summoned Janet from the virtual space to bring Baldy in.
Merely 30 seconds later, Baldy had already been brought into the virtual space like the carcass of a chicken.
At this time, Su Yang had already washed his hands with (Unorthodox Soap) as he reached out to touch the bald big man who was still struggling in Janet's hands with a hideous face. Baldy had lost complete control of his body.
Facing the guy that he had already sentenced to death, Su Yang didn't care if the violence revealed the fact that he possessed superpowers. He brought out the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass) and slapped it on the table in front of Baldy.
Time stood still once more as he experienced the feeling of spacetime warping descend upon him. He hadn't experienced this for a long time and after a moment, Su Yang appeared in Baldy's memories.
Without looking at irrelevant memories, Su Yang single-handedly went to find memories Baldy had about himself before slowly browsing through them…
After checking out all of Baldy's memories, Su Yang felt a chill run down his back.
'Zhao Xiao isn't actually a liar… Does he really have some sort of background in the capital? Is he the bastard son of some big shot?
'I don't think that's how you should put on a show!
'If you have a real background, why are you pretending to be a con artist. Are you cosplaying?' However, after finding out that Zhao Xiao had a family that had some power in the country behind him, Su Yang still had no regrets. After all, he'd still make a move against Zhao Xiao if he could do it all again.
'Scum like them who're involved in vice, gambling, and drugs… They deserve to die!
As for Baldy, Su Yang also knew his identity, he was an assassin groomed by Zhao Xiao's family. He was ordered to investigate the death of Zhao Xiao, and incidentally exact revenge. The two men beside him, Sea Snake and Monkey, are both strong assassins within the organizations.
It was just that these two have never had much brains so they let Baldy lead the team.
Although Baldy was suspicious of some of the things surrounding Su Yang, it remained as a suspicion that he didn't report. After all, the real world was still materialistic and without any evidence, no one would believe in the existence of superpowers. After going through Baldy's memories, Su Yang was relieved. Fortunately, he reacted decisively in time and acted. Otherwise, it might have really caused a major disaster!
Then, Su Yang waved his hand at Janet, indicating that he was supposed to dispose of Baldy.
Since these three had been plotting against him from the start, Su Yang wouldn't show any mercy.
Although he knew that he would continue being an enemy of the Feng family in the capital, Su Yang wasn't someone who was afraid of trouble since he had already provoked them!
After all, his methods were strange, mysterious, and truly indefensible. 'Even if the Feng family possessed great power, you only live once, right?'
'Those with true strength do not fear the weak. Let's see who's afraid of who.'
Seeing Su Yang's gesture, Baldy knew in his heart that he was in danger as he looked around in his struggle. However, (Unorthodox Soap) prevented him from moving so he could only watch as Janet dragged him to the pool…
When he was pushed halfway down the pool, Baldy made a miserable scream.
After a moment, everything went silent… "This intelligent assassin just disappeared from the world…!
Su Yang looked at his broken finger, felt the excruciating pain, and used his silver ability, (Hands of Fate] again!
'One down, two to go!'
Everything stood still as he activated (Hands of Fate] once more.
Su Yang appeared above the hotel once again but knew he only had five minutes to deal with Monkey and Sea Serpent.
He almost ran out of time when he dealt with Baldy earlier so he had to hurry up for the remaining two!

Chapter 298 Screwing Two More Over Before The Circus Opens!
With that in mind, Su Yang endured the pain on his body, mumbled the address of that hotel like the last time, and flew directly above the hotel.
A minute later, Su Yang arrived at the Andorra Hotel once again.
Everything in the hotel was still, there were quite a few guests going in and out. However, since time was frozen, some of them had a leg raised, some were smiling, some were gloomy while some were just downright peculiar.
Su Yang tapped on the hotel and passed through the floorboards as he headed to the 11th floor
Su Yang lightly clicked on the hotel, then passed through the layers of floorboards and went up to the 11th floor…
Five minutes ago, Hotel Andorra.
After Monkey received the message from Baldy, he threw away the apple in his hand, hid a few blades in his cuffs, and got up to go to Baldy's room.
As soon as he left the room, he heard a yell coming from Baldy's room before he even managed to take two steps. "Quick!"
It was just one word that was followed by an abrupt stop.
Monkey had a sudden flash in his mind despite having carried out many missions and encountered many emergencies. He looked at Sea Serpent who had just come out of the next room and winked.
The two men turned in unison and went back to their rooms. Then, he quickly took a hat, a mask, and a pair of sunglasses, putting them on his head before he left the room.
The moment he left, he noticed that the door to Sea Serpent's room was also open. Sea Serpent actually changed his hairstyle within ten seconds, put on a shirt, and walked off in the other direction.
Monkey didn't talk or greet him because both of them knew something must have happened.
If something didn't go wrong, Baldy wouldn't have issued a warning. In fact, he didn't even manage to complete his warning.
They were elites and wouldn't risk their lives to open the door so they could determine the situation, especially when the status of their enemy wasn't clear to them.
In such a situation, the first reaction of both men would be to leave before reporting to the organization to investigate.
Everything was planned incredibly well.
Unfortunately… What they encountered was Su Yang
Su Yang crossed the floor and arrived on the 11th floor just in time to meet Monkey who was walking toward the safe passage. He was wrapped in his clothes with a leg raised, stationary in his pose.
With just a glance, Su Yang felt that something was wrong, why was he dressed like a celebrity?
With a wave of his hand, Monkey's mask, glasses, and hat came off, revealing a face that Su Yang was incomparably familiar with. 'Yo. What a coincidence.'
Su Yang laughed.
'Fortunately, I came quickly or he probably would've ran away!'
With that in mind, Su Yang used his mind and Monkey suddenly flew up in the air, following Su Yang from his back as he floated through the air.
Since he only used one and a half minutes to find Monkey, the remaining time was enough for him to seek out Sea Serpent.
Then, Su Yang went to room 1006 and it was no surprise to him that Sea Serpent had made his escape as well.
Su Yang took off in the air and flew through the corridor to see if there were any clues. 'After all, Monkey didn't get that far so Sea Serpent probably wouldn't be that far away as well'
Surely enough, he found Sea Serpent at the end of the corridor.
Sea Serpent had the style of a general. He actually changed his clothes and hairstyle and was lying by the window of the corridor, leisurely watching the scenery. If it wasn't for the fact that there was no one else in the corridor, Su Yang would've probably let him get away with it if he didn't take a glance around.
Sea Serpent floated into the air and Su Yang looked at the time. Realizing that he still had time, he returned to the rooms of the three assassins. With a wave of his hand, their belongings flew out of the hotel with them.
With all the 'trophies', Su Yang returned to the basement.
With his previous experience, Su Yang asked Janet to wait in the basement before using his ability.
After throwing everything into the basement, Su Yang took the initiative to disable his silver ability.
When the silver ability ended, Su Yang's second finger was broken off with a gurgling sound. Although there was no blood or a broken finger, the pain was real!
Su Yang covered his hand as his face turned pale. The level of pain seemed to grow with the number of broken fingers. He was about to explode from the pain!
'I don't know how I managed to break three fingers in a row last time!'
After some time, Janet brought Monkey and Sea Serpent in like chicken carcasses while Su Yang was enduring the pain.
In Sea Serpent's memory, the two of them had obviously noticed something unusual. After each of them disguised themselves, they left the room and prepared to run away. He even ran to the end of the corridor to confuse his opponent by pretending to be an ordinary resident.
However, he didn't know what happened when he regained consciousness. He only remembered that he felt like everything blurred around him before finding himself and Monkey in a strange basement!
Sea Serpent wondered for a moment if he had been intubated from behind the brain! How else would it be possible to suddenly change time and space? Just before he could think about it, he noticed that a mass of liquid on the ground grew violently larger before it entangled them.
He tried very hard to struggle but found that the stream of water had turned into a pretty-looking foreign woman. Then, the foreign woman moved their necks and they lost all control!
Sea Serpent felt like the world had changed. The thing that he had never dared to think about before was actually happening. This isn't a movie, is it?'
Then the foreign woman tied him and Monkey up as a green light shot out from the camera of the phone on the table. When they returned to their senses, they had entered a villa…
After entering the villa, Sea Serpent's pupils dilated when he saw what was in front of him. The first thing he thought of was the word (Virtual Space). "There really is a virtual space!
'So this is virtual space!'
Sea Serpent's eyes were daring around as he looked at Su Yang. "Are you Su Yang?"
Despite still having that dispirited look from before, his entire body was incomparably energetic. His gaze towards Su Yang was also curious and inquisitive.
It was just a pity that Su Yang wasn't interested in talking to him at all.
Su Yang just gave him a faint glance before beckoning to Satantan.
After Satantan flew over, Su Yang took out an empty bowl from under the table, and Satantan opened her mouth to spit out fresh blood.
Then, Su Yang slowly and methodically put the hourglass into the bowl which fell into the sticky blood with a muffled thud.
As it fell into the bowl, the red blood gradually disappeared and in the blink of an eye, the blood was gone, leaving behind a crimson hourglass shining at the bottom of the bowl. Su Yang picked up the hourglass and ignored Sea Serpent's burning gaze as he slapped the hourglass on the table.
Time and space distorted and spun. The entire house, including all the people, entered Su Yang's eyes.
After a moment, Su Yang appeared in Sea Serpent's memory…
After taking a look at Sea Serpent's memories, Su Yang restored the hourglass as if by magic without making a sound and took a look at Monkey's memories instead.
These two people had memories similar to Baldy. They were both assassins from the Feng family's underground forces. They specialized in dirty work for the Feng family.
Both of them were indeed as he saw in Baldy's memories. They were the better assassins in the organization's eyes, having gone on more than a dozen missions without a single defeat.
Su Yang compared their skills and according to the system's rating, they were at least at an intermediate skill level. They were stronger than Janet but weaker than Pan Zhaodi.
It was just that both of them were proficient at assassinating people. Their combat skills were also biased towards one-hit kills. In particular, Monkey had unusually flexible hands and had a track record of overpowering a man to his death with a knife.
Unfortunately, they encountered Su Yang, and with Su Yang's silver ability, both of them were unable to use their abilities. The blades hidden in Monkey's cuffs didn't even get a chance to be displayed.
What was more interesting was that in Baldy's memories, these two were idiots who didn't know anything and didn't even notice Su Yang's abnormality.
However, Su Yang found that they had actually been suspicious of him even earlier than Baldy when he took a look at their memories.
Sea Serpent even went to look up some relevant information, and secretly sneaked around Su Yang's rented house today to see if he could find any clues.
These three people were really one in spirit compared to the others.
However, it was unfortunate that they underestimated Su Yang's methods despite being so smart.
As a result, they were caught by Su Yang without even spreading the news.
What was even more interesting was that Sea Serpent's heart was already in Su Yang's hand after seeing Su Yang use his superpower. He was someone who put himself beyond all others. He would hesitate if he had to betray the Feng family and commit to Su Yang's crew. In order to gain Su Yang's trust and acceptance, he planned to reveal all the things the Feng family had done over the years along with all the secrets he knew.
Unfortunately, all his secrets were worthless because Su Yang had obtained all the information through his memories.
Su Yang was even more disdainful of him as a person. As a person who had taken more than a dozen innocent lives with his hands, and as one who considered betraying his master, he didn't qualify to be accepted by Su Yang.
So after checking their memories, Su Yang gestured at Janet to silence them.
Janet obeyed the order to take the two people down.
Su Yang covered his right hand that only had three fingers left, and his face paled once again.
After using his silver ability twice in a row and also using hourglass three times at once, his body and spirit felt like they were about to reach their limits.
It made him feel a headache. His hand hurt but so did everywhere else.
Sending a little monster bean to the study to fetch the (Double-sided Salted Fish Mask), Su Yang ordered Janet to buy 500 pounds of raw pork after dealing with Sea Serpents and Monkey! 'The current price of pork is going crazy. A pound is almost 35 so 500 pounds is almost 20,000 yuan.
'However, it's money I need to spend because tomorrow will arrive in three or four hours.'
The next day was the 17th of July, which was the 15th of June in the lunar calendar.
On that day, the time for the (Reincarnation Circus) with the crown tattooed on his index finger had finally arrived. Its first opening was here.
This thing seems different from all the special items, what would happen…'
Su Yang was very much looking forward to it.

Chapter 299 A Night Encounter Qu Xiaomeng While She Jogs
Five minutes later, Janet appeared from the pool without a single stain, not even a spatter of blood on her body. Su Yang held his left hand over the broken finger of his right hand, and asked while enduring the pain, "All done?"
Janet nodded. "Yeah."
He had always been so concise and cold. However, it was unclear how he became one of Su Yang's most indispensable helpers.
Su Yang counted and among the monsters by his side. Little Deeny and Janet who happens to be the 'lover' of Little Hus seem to be the most useful among the rest. Well, that is if they could be considered a couple.' Su Yang had a feeling that something would go wrong with them eventually… 'I hope I'm just thinking too much.'
Seeing Su Yang in a trance, Janet saluted. "My Lord, I'll go ahead and buy the raw meat."
Su Yang waved his hand. "Go ahead."
He didn't give Janet the money, because Janet would take Little Deeny with her. When it was time to pay, Su Yang would receive a prompt and he could just enter his password.
After all, 500 pounds of raw meat wasn't light to begin with, and moving it back was rather troublesome. A better way was to sweep it all into the virtual space after finding a secluded corner.
After Janet left, Su Yang was handed the (Double-Sided Salted Fish Mask) from a little monster bean.
At this moment, he was physically and mentally exhausted. He desperately needed to turn into a salted fish so he could rest and recuperate. Regarding the choice he would have to make between his mental or physical wellness, he chose his mental health after thinking for a while.
Although he was physically exhausted, he felt like he was about to blackout in a couple of minutes after using his (Booth of Exchanging Secrets), his silver ability (Hands of Fate] twice, and the evil item (Memory Labyrinth Hourglass] three times.
For the sake of Sanque's hands, Su Yang felt like he should recover his mental state. As for the physical pain he was under, he'd bear with it and wait for it to pass.
Then, he put on the salted fish mask. After a moment, the mask disappeared and he felt a breeze on his face. It was like he was in the middle of a primitive jungle, breathing in the crisp, fresh air.
His head and mind emptied themselves as he felt the pain in his fingers ease significantly.
Thinking of them, he couldn't help it when Sanque's new arm came to his mind. In the past, Sanque tore his arm off to save Su Yang, using it as medicine. Its arm could regrow itself and at this moment, a sprout of flesh the size of a finger was in its place. It seemed as if it would take about two months for it to be restored to its original state.
After brushing off these thoughts, Su Yang stopped thinking about the things he was worried about in his future. Things like how the movies were going to be shot, whether or not it'd lose money, how he'd deal with the Feng family, how he'd handle the clean-up for the [In] App, and much more.
At this moment, the only thing he wanted was to lie down.
It was better to be comfortable while laying down.
Su Yang lay down on the sofa and felt a burst of pain in his fingers as he called up an interface before him to start his MOBA game, Honor of Kings.
He felt like the name of the game had a hidden meaning to warn its players. Playing this game was like honoring the rulers as he took lives.
After playing for a few days, Su Yang realized that the game was like Douyin. Both were rather time-consuming and just after he played a few games, he realized that a couple of hours had passed.
However, this game was meant for the 'complete' Su Yang. He felt every second pass like they were years after he lost two fingers!
Despite being at a 50-star rank, he couldn't even beat a silver-ranked player because he was missing two fingers!
'This is just too frustrating!'
Because of this, Su Yang figured he couldn't do this any longer. He wasn't just unhappy, but he was trolling his teammates as well! With his head spinning, he called out to the empty house, "Dee- Dee- Dee- Dee!"
Little Deeny's voice sounded in his ear, "What is it, Master?"
Su Yang asked, "Can you get a separate core to help me play the game?"
Little Deeny was speechless. Little Deeny was typing the code at an insane speed. Her AI development was at a critical moment.
She didn't even think that her master had called her just to help him with a game! She spoke to Su Yang, "Master, play your game with a competitive spirit. I can't play on your behalf!"
'Gotcha… I just got rejected.' Su Yang stopped talking and curled his lips, thinking it would be better if he played the game by himself. He thought begging others was better than begging to himself. He didn't believe that he couldn't beat this bunch of silver players with his rank!
Su Yang vowed to show them the strength of the 50 stars he had at his rank!
As for why his current rank wasn't at High King but was Silver… It was because Tencent was pushing his rank down. Else, he would've become High King a long time ago. With that in mind, Su Yang left the fountain he spawned from for the seventh time.
After playing the game for three hours with eight fingers, Su Yang felt extremely relaxed. Of course, his teammates might not be as untiltable as he was.
Seeing the endless shouting and cursing, Su Yang was sure they reported him after the game. He figured that they'd add points to the LAN cables if they could, go through it, and hit him from the other end.
Su Yang's mental state at that point was exceptional. It wasn't just because of the Salted Fish Mask but also because he felt like he deserved it. It was because… He just couldn't give a damn.
He looked up and wondered how he was such a newb. 'Perhaps… I'm the king of noobs.'
Just as Su Yang was shamelessly lamenting, he heard a sound. "Bang! Bang!" Two sacks then fell out of thin air into the living room as blood spattered around him.
For a moment, the smell of blood suffused the room and his glorious villa now looked a lot stranger.
Su Yang was speechless.
'Didn't I just say that Janet is reliable? No… Someone else must've said that.
'I mean… what's the issue with throwing raw meat around like that, right?'
After a moment, Janet appeared in the virtual space covered in blood, looking incomparably horrifying
It was just that Su Yang couldn't feel the killing aura of that ferocious beast at all since he was wearing the salted fish mask. He put the virtual interface aside and looked at Janet. "Are you slaughtering the raw meat yourself?"
Janet shook her head. "There were people on the road. That's why I carried it all the way to the alley where no one was looking.
"I didn't want to scare you, so I came in to talk to you."
After saying that, he saluted. "In that case, my Lord, I'll take my leave."
Su Yang was speechless.
'You're going out looking like that? Aren't you afraid you'll get arrested as a murderer?'
"Why don't you go to the bathroom and take a shower. I'll just go out."
With that, Su Yang silently muttered, "Leave."
Suddenly, his figure slowly disappeared from the virtual space.
A moment later, his feet were atop damp, mossy ground. Su Yang picked Little Deeny up from the ground, wiped it on his clothes, and walked out of the alley with leisurely steps. The place Janet bought meat from wasn't far from the neighborhood. Su Yang used the Baidu Map to set a destination, find a route, identify the direction, and walked toward the neighborhood. The salted fish mask was invisible when worn, so Su Yang wasn't afraid of being seen by others. Instead, his fingers had been aching so he felt a little discomfort.
Along the way to the neighborhood, a notification alerted Su Yang in his mind. (Beep! New random mission!]
'Huh? A mission in the middle of the night?'
With that in mind, Su Yang opened the system and it prompted him. [New Random Task: Help Qu Xiaomeng.)
'Right, what's the matter with Teacher Qu again this time? Has she been robbed again?
'Doesn't seem like the case according to this mission statement.
"Then what is it? Did she break her ankle? Are her b*obs too big that she's getting a cramp?'
While thinking blindly, Su Yang tapped on the red map marker and the mission target of the random mission.
Qu Xiaomeng wasn't far from himself.
The target image just looked like she was in a state of confusion and didn't look like she was in danger.
Su Yang pondered if he should head over. It seemed like the mission was rather simple.
As the thought ran through his mind, he suddenly felt a wave of lethargy going through his head. He really didn't want to go. After all, he would have to take several more steps.
Heading back for a good night's sleep was much better. It had nothing to do with the mission and besides, missions are such a bore…
'Anyway, I still have 1,700 coins. It's enough.
'I don't know… Qu Xiaomeng is probably fine.' Thinking this way, Su Yang lazily made a decision to ignore the quest and go home. After settling down, Su Yang continued to walk in the neighborhood. However, what he didn't expect was that the system interface he didn't bother to turn off actually showed Qu Xiaomeng walking in his direction. 'What's she doing?
'Is she trying to bump into me?' With that in mind, Su Yang ran into Qu Xiaomeng head-on. Qu Xiaomeng was wearing a sports outfit today, the bottom half of which was sporty shorts and the top half of which was… A sporty mini tank top.
She was the type of girl who was slightly chubby and she had a bit of baby fat on her face. Despite all that, her waist was thin. This gym outfit showed off her figure and would make people light up at first glance
After all, she had a body type that most guys preferred — feminine.
'It's just… Will wearing this kind of outfit out at 11:30 at this time of night attract perverts?'
Su Yang asked curiously, "Mr. Qu, what are you doing?"
Su Yang's voice made Qu Xiaomeng look over as she said in surprise, "Su Yang?! Is that you?"
Su Yang thought. 'I surely am the most handsome! Look at how excited my teacher is!
Su Yang replied, "Yeah, it's me." Qu Xiaomeng leaped up and said, "Great, great. I was running at night outside our neighborhood, and I couldn't find my way back. Can you bring me back to our neighborhood?"
ur
Su Yang was speechless. 'Is it too late to retract the shameless remark I'm about to make?'
Su Yang said, "You're dressed like this at night just to run at night?"
Her usually rather foggy brain was working a little hard. 'Shouldn't she be wearing sportswear to run at night? Isn't dressing like this a little too much?'
He bobbed his head, then took it upon himself to misdirect the conversation away from her clothes, "So now, you're the one who can't find your way back?"
Qu Xiaomeng nodded.
Su Yang took out his phone and sent a message to Little Deeny, "Help me get a shirt."
He then took the opportunity to turn around and took out a thin t-shirt from his phone before handing it to Qu Xiaomeng.
Qu Xiaomeng received the shirt in a muddled state, her eyes resting on Su Yang's hand which only had three fingers as she blinked. Su Yang said, "Put on the clothes, I'll send you back."
"Uh-oh. Okay." Qu Xiaomeng obeyed and put the t-shirt on.
Su Yang's clothes were a bit too big for her. After putting on her clothes, Qu Xiaomeng looked at Su Yang and asked, "Su Yang, my fellow student, what's wrong with your hand…"
'Hand?'
Su Yang looked down at his right hand, only to realize that he only had three fingers left. It dawned on him then that he seemed to have accidentally used his right hand when he gave Qu Xiaomeng.
It couldn't be said that he was careless. Rather, it seemed like he was used to it. After all, his dominant hand was his right hand so he subconsciously used his right hand to hold things.

Chapter 300 The Reincarnation Circus Finally Opens Its Doors!
If Su Yang was his usual self, he probably wouldn't have made the mistake. However, he was wearing his Salted Fish Mask at this moment that caused his body to feel extremely relaxed to the point where he neither desired to do anything nor did he bother about his surroundings. He most definitely wasn't cautious at this moment so he paid no heed.
Su Yang looked towards Qu Xiaomeng, and her face was filled with curiosity. If he were facing Chu Xia or the school bully Li Runze, then Su Yang might have to spend some time explaining. However, since he was facing the ever silly Qu Xiaomeng, he was simply like her nemesis. His (Verbal Cannon] ability, when used against Qu Xiaomeng, was like casting a buff on himself that had double the effects!
"Oh… I've been learning magic recently." Su Yang casually babbled, "Where else would you have gotten that dress on you."
Qu Xiaomeng looked at Su Yang and blinked. "That's right… Where did he get that dress just now?'
Su Yang didn't even notice without having to remind himself. He looked at her, and replied without waiting for another question, "It also happens to be magic."
Qu Xiaomeng nodded her head. "Ohhh."
She looked at Su Yang's hand and asked curiously, "Can you change it back then?"
Su Yang's expression didn't even flinch. "I know how to rub away my fingers but I haven't learned how to get them back yet. Wait until I've done studying and researching the matter at night and I'll be able to get them back tomorrow."
Qu Xiaomeng nodded her head stupidly, her eyes continued to run over Su Yang's hand that was draped over her leg.
Seeing how the curious girl still wanted to ask more questions, Su Yang changed the topic. "Let's go. It's getting late. I'll send you back." Qu Xiaomeng was really distracted as she replied, "Oh!"
Su Yang was 1.81 meters tall while Qu Xiaomeng was a mere 1.58 meters. Qu Xiaomeng was just up to Su Yang's shoulders when they stood together. The comparison would most definitely be labeled the most adorable difference in height if they posted it on social media.
However, that wasn't the case when they began walking.
If Su Yang took a step, Qu Xiaomeng's short legs had to take a step and a half.
This resulted in Qu Xiaomeng having to keep up a brisk jog while following Su Yang.
She wore clothes that were a little oversized for her and ran around Su Yang like a little kid with two flexible but short legs.
Su Yang, on the other hand, didn't really have the heart to take care of her. The only reason he was willing to bring her along was purely because he was passing by and it wasn't too much of a hassle.
As a salted fish with no ideals, the only thing he wanted was to go back for a good night's rest. 'What about the circus? Why would I want to do that myself? How tiring…!
Soon, both of them returned to the neighborhood with Su Yang leading the way.
Seeing the familiar neighborhood, Qu Xiaomeng's heart was finally put to rest.
In order to lose weight, she had tried to diet. As a result, she ended up with a bad stomach and after Su Yang cured her affliction she went on vacation. There, she felt free and ended up being tempted by snacks that she couldn't help gorging on. She had no choice but to exercise to lose weight again.
She had no money to go to the gym. She couldn't go through her aerobic dance routine at home because she didn't want to affect her neighbors. So, after some deliberation, she went out of her house for a run.
However, her clothes have always been comfortable and loose. Since there was nothing suitable for running, she bought a set of clothes online to run in the gym.
When she arrived at the gym, she realized that she didn't consider her physical condition at all. A piece of clothing that was normal for others to wear seemed rather… different on her.
She was so ashamed and didn't want to face the gazing eyes of strangers. So, she planned to come out in the middle of the night after watching some tv for a lap or two before going back to sleep. As a result, who knew that she would get lost while running.
Luckily, she met Su Yang…
Sending Qu Xiaomeng back downstairs, Su Yang said a few more words in a rare moment, "Teacher Qu, you know about your own body. It's more… Uhh, distinctive."
"I'd suggest you don't go out running in the middle of the night dressed like this. Although you have the freedom to dress like this, it's better to avoid some trouble if you can."
"It doesn't matter during the day. At night, people are rowdier and a girl should still protect herself outside."
Being lectured by Su Yang in such a long-winded manner, Qu Xiaomeng's ears turned red. She was so shy that her face along with her ears turned red. Every now and then, she'd feel like there was steam 'exhaling' hot air out of her ears.
Since childhood, Qu Xiaomeng has been subjected to a lot of dissimilar gazes. In fact, she knew that she had advantages over other girls.
She would usually pay attention to the style of clothes, and would also involuntarily want to cover up her own distinctive assets. However, a boy speaking frankly about his own private parts still made her a little shy to the point of being at a loss.
It was even more so since this boy was also her student. It was even more of a forbidden shame for her.
Fortunately, Su Yang didn't say much, nor did he wait for her reply. After saying his piece, he walked away in a stride.
As she watched Su Yang's back as he left, Qu Xiaomeng had a feeling that the Su Yang of tonight was a little different. It was as if there was a… 'It seems like there's a… leisurely transcendence separating them from worldly affairs.
It seems as if everything in the world wasn't on his mind.
Qu Xiaomeng couldn't help but look a little frazzled.
Qu Xiaomeng returned to her senses, only to find that all the music was silent in a dark neighborhood, with more than a dozen buildings and only two or three lights.
She shivered. It had always felt like the opening scene of a horror movie. The fear of the night drove away the nonsense she had just been thinking about, as she whispered, "Home, home. No fear, no fear."
Then, she held onto Su Yang's clothes on her body and ran into the building.
At the same time, Su Yang also returned to the rented house.
Although he'd usually come home to reside in the virtual space, he still had to leave occasionally especially since he hired Pan Zhaodi as his secretary. She would come rather often so he'd definitely feel more comfortable in a building than in a basement.
At home, Su Yang went to the bedroom, drew the curtains and entered the virtual space.
As he arrived, Su Yang took a look at his right hand that was currently missing two fingers, endured the pain, and used it to remove the salted fish mask on his face.
With the mask removed, Su Yang felt endless motivation, energy, and determination return to his body.
'Makes me excited about the future!'
Su Yang looked at the time. It was 23:58 p.m. In 2 minutes, his hand would return and the circus would open. Su Yang's eyes were full of excitement. 'It's the circus! I'm coming!'
Without the salty mask, the pain seemed to be more intense. Su Yang covered his hands and endured the pain, patiently waiting for time to pass.
After a moment, the number on the watch returned to zero. It was now 00:00.
Su Yang felt an itch near his fingers and when he looked down, his fingers had returned to his hand, and the pain had completely disappeared.
Su Yang held out the five fingers of his right hand and the movement felt incomparably smooth. He felt great that he was now whole again.
As he was lamenting, a soft sound rang out in his mind. [Beep. Burning Reincarnation Circus is now open. Please confirm entry.]
'The entrance really opens on time.'
Su Yang silently pronounced, "Enter." His mind once again rang with the system's prompt. (Please pay the entrance fee of 500 pounds of raw meat.]
Two options appeared in front of him. (Make Payment), and (Refuse Payment).
As Su Yang arrived before the two big bags of raw meat piled on the floor, he touched one of the bags with his hand and chose [Make Payment).
In the blink of an eye, the two bags of raw meat on the floor disappeared into thin air. Even the blood on the floor disappeared without a trace.
Immediately after that, a large piece of raw meat fell from the air to the ground with a thud.
[Excess portion returned.)
It seems that Janet was afraid that his boss would be short a couple of pounds so he bought a little more. This guy is so reliable.'
Just as Su Yang was thinking about this, he found a burning pain suddenly emanating from his right index finger as if it was burning.
He was busy looking at his right hand, only to find that the crown tattoo on his index finger had slowly grown larger as it took on a three-dimensional shape, slowly rotating around his index finger.
After a moment, his index finger shot out a ray of light that summoned a door made of light wherever it went!
An emotionless prompt was heard in his mind as well. (Welcome to… The Reincarnation Circus).
Su Yang looked at his index finger and saw that the tattoo of the crown on his index finger had disappeared. 'It seems like the circus has opened."
He hesitated and was just about to ask Janet to enter with him but he heard another prompt in his mind. (This area doesn't allow additional people to enter.]
'Got it. Seems like I've got to be alone.'
Having no choice, Su Yang stepped forward to enter the circus in the end because he was gluttonous and curious about what was inside.
As soon as he entered the door made of light, Su Yang found himself in a dimensional pocket. Everything around him was dark and only a circus tent stood before him.
He slowly walked over and saw a sign at the entrance of the circus. On the sign were two large words: Reincarnation Circus. There was also the logo of a leopard's head beside it.
Below the large words was a sentence. "Reincarnation Reversal, Burning Fate."
Su Yang wrote down this sentence and walked into the circus.
Once he entered the circus, Su Yang found himself automatically in the first row of the VIP seats with the circus stage right in front of him.
On the small table to his right was a note.
Su Yang picked up the note and opened it. There were several options written on the note. Watch performance, View performers, Add performers, and lastly… Reverse Reincarnation.
Only the option (Reincarnation Reversal] was grayed out.
The grayer it was, the more Su Yang wanted to click on it so he clicked on [Reincarnation Reversal).
As a result, he heard a prompt in his mind. (Unavailable]
"Uhh… Can't I use it? It doesn't even say how I can use it.'
The most interesting option couldn't be used so Su Yang decided to experience the three functions one after the other.
He tapped on the first option. [Watch Performance]
Suddenly, the lights in the circus dimmed and the surroundings darkened. A beam of light hit the stage of the circus, and five people appeared out of nowhere on the stage. The five people were people Su Yang was incomparably familiar with…
Zhao Xiao, the security chief, Baldy, Sea Serpent, and Monkey…
They stood in a row on the stage with their heads down, smiling fiercely at Su Yang before bowing deeply.
