Chapter 63: A Toy Car That Transforms
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Feeling the surge of searing energy from the old man’s body, Jiang He glanced at Duan Tianhe and could not help asking, “Old Duan, is he a B-cla.s.s fire-type Awakened?”
“Not exactly—he could be considered a special-cla.s.s of Awakened since his ability is not conjured out of thin air, but relies on that black hammer.”
Jiang He turned to stare at the blazing black hammer. “That hammer is quite something... its fires burn so hotly that it melts B-grade alloys, but the hammer itself remains fine.”
“Eh?”
Jiang He blinked then, and exclaimed in awe, “The hammer could change sizes?”
The black hammer, which was still melting the alloys was clearly one size larger than before.”
“Of course it can—the hammer itself is a conjuration.”
Duan Tianhe chuckled. “As a matter of fact, the old man did not awaken fire-type powers. Instead, it’s the hammer, and the fire is just a power attached to the hammer.”
Conjuration?
Jiang He appeared thoughtful.
The old man is quite something, to actually awaken that hammer.
Later, as they left the old man’s weaponsmith room, Duan Tianhe grumbled about wanting to treat Jiang He to a meal, which Jiang He politely refused. “Chief Duan, you two should go eat. I’ve already had a meal before I came to the city, and I also made an appointment with Mu Wanqiu to discuss something.”
However, Duan Tianhe suddenly became all-mysterious at the mention of Mu Wanqiu.
He looked around, and moved closer to Jiang He when he saw that there was no one else around, whispering, “Hey, is the rumors I heard true? That you... made Mu Wanqiu bigger?”
“...”
Jiang He was speechless.
Why did that sentence sound like it had another meaning to it?
Still, he nodded since there was nothing worth hiding about it. “I discovered a corn that evolved after absorbing the Universal Force, and it has been confirmed that it promotes second p.u.b.erty in women, specifically on a certain anatomy of theirs.”
Duan Tianhe stammered a little as if embarra.s.sed then as he asked, “Could you sell me two of those corns? I heard that it’s being sold at five hundred thousand a piece, but you don’t have to give me a discount—I’ll buy them at retail price!”
“I do have a few left, but...”
“Never mind. You could come by my house tomorrow to take them.”
Jiang He gulped down the question that was at the tip of his tongue.
What else was there to ask about?
Duan Tianhe must have felt awkward to sought out Mu Wanqiu, and the reason he would want the corn would undoubtedly be fore his wife or his girlfriend, and it was nothing worth knowing.
Duan Tianhe watched as Jiang He left, before whipping his phone out with a delighted look on his face as he sent a voice message.
“Darling, sorry, I’ve been too busy to celebrate your birthday... but I have a surprise for you now!”
***
The department of ‘Feral Materials Acquisition’, which was affiliated to Superpower Research had been set up in the MAD as well, and established in a single building.
And the moment Jiang He walked into the building, someone quickly welcomed him.
It was a female martial artist with wheat-colored skin and a stunning figure.
“Mister Jiang, Miss Mu is waiting for you. This way, please.”
Jiang He studied the woman, his gaze eventually reaching her chest.
“Have you used my products before?” He asked.
Slightly enraged, the woman snorted coldly. “Never.”
“Impressive.”
Jiang He chuckled. “Then you’re a hundred-percent natural!”
Then, when he saw that the woman was clenching her teeth and shaking slightly, he added in concern, “Could you be ill, beautiful? You could tell me where Mu Wanqiu is and I’ll go to her myself, while you sit somewhere and take a break.”
“...”
The woman took a deep breath and mustered a smile. “I’m fine, Mister Jiang. I’ll take you there.
Mu Wanqiu’s office was on the top floor.
Compared to Duan Tianhe’s office, Mu Wanqiu’s office looked much more exquisite. Aside from a pot of devil’s ivy, it also had a closet, a small bedroom, and a gym.
“Please take a seat, Mister Jiang.”
The female martial artist gestured for Jiang He to sit and poured him a cup of tea, albeit slamming it irritably on the coffee table.
Clang.
The tea almost spilt out.
However, just as Jiang He was about to reprimand her, Mu Wanqiu stepped out of the gym.
She must have just finished training—she still had a white towel wrapped over her neck. Her sportswear was a matching black and white: black shorts, and a white singlet that was being pushed to its limit.
“Your figure is fantastic, Miss Mu.”
Jiang He praised. “This is quite fine. Don’t think about shrinking them now.”
Beside them, the female martial artist’s eyes went round in bulging.
Wow...
Was this Mister Jiang that ruthless?
The female martial artist was still fuming after being teased, but now it seemed that she was less than an appetizer to him, what with him daring to tease even Miss Mu. The last person who did that had her legs broken and her beautiful hair burnt off, leaving her bald.
She was a little expectant at that. Surely Miss Mu would go crazy now?
And yet, Mu Wanqiu did not.
Instead, she chuckled bitterly and looked helpless. “There’s no helping it. I just have to accept things as it is.”
Jiang He was speechless for a moment, before muttering, “Why didn’t you say that when you were flatter than me?”
The air in the room turned weird then, and a flame actually popped up over Mu Wanqiu’s head.
When he saw that Mu Wanqiu was about to go on a rampage, Jiang He promptly changed the conversation. “Miss Mu, I’ve actually came today because I’ve heard that your department has made a breakthrough on medicinal pellets, so I wanted to ask... do you have something better than qi pellets?”
Mu Wanqiu took a deep breath in return, and the flame over her head slowly faded. “You want to buy medicinal pellets that improve cultivation?”
“Superpower Research has indeed been developing a new medicinal pellet, but it’s still on clinical trials. I’ll inform you at once if there’s any breakthrough—Xiao Zhu, see him off.”
Indignation was showing all over her face as she returned to the gym.
Beside Jiang He, the female martial artist scowled. “Mister Jiang, please.”
Jiang He himself was left completely baffled.
What the heck?
They were having a nice conversation. How could she cold shoulder him just like that?
Glaring at the female martial artist, Jiang He retorted in irritation, “You don’t have to ‘please’. I’ll go.”
Watching as Jiang He left, the female martial artist named Xiao Zhu could even hear Jiang He complain—
“Women. Always so unreasonable!”
***
It was nighttime, though it was still drizzling outside.
Jiang He was about to head over to Auto City, wanting to buy a car but soon changed his mind...
“Every shop in Auto City is probably closed now.
“And...
“Why would I buy a car?
“It’s an entirely different thing from whether I could plant it. I should get myself a toy car to test it back home.”
Hence, Jiang He walked the streets, searching through shops near various supermarkets.
His attention was then caught by an exquisitely detailed model car. It resembled a red Ferrari Enzo, although its lines were smoother than an actual Enzo.
The shop owner was a middle-aged woman, who approached Jiang He with a smile. “Buying a toy for your kid, young man?”
She then fidgeted with the toy car, after of which it turned into Transformer that stood over forty centimeters tall.
Then, she pressed on the remote.
Tsche-tsche-tk-tk-tk.
The Transformer reverted to its red sports car form.
“My son bought this toy car from a science exhibition. It is remote-controlled and could transform, and it has a top-quality finish. I’m selling it at a discounted price of 998 dollars.”
Jiang He promptly took out a bunch of hundred-dollar bills from his System Backpack and slapped them on the table.
“I want it!”
Are you kidding me?
He was getting an Enzo for just 998 dollars. That was just too cheap!
And most importantly...
Jiang He put away the remote, picked up the toy car and left the supermarket, muttering, “The car could even transform. I wonder if that would still stick after I plant it!”
