Just as Su Yang was deep in his thoughts, an interface suddenly popped up in front of him. In the center of the interface, Sanque was conducting an experiment in the laboratory.
Su Yang, who had already guessed where Sanque was, was not surprised at all. He clicked on the gold button on the screen and a notification popped up in front of him.
[Are you sure you want to descend before the living being that called out your real name?]
Su Yang clicked [Yes].
[Method of Descent: Projection or True Body]
[True Body]
After Su Yang confirmed his choice, he felt his body shake. Then, the window before him slowly expanded. At first, it was only the size of a window. Within less than a second, it expanded to the size of a door before finally expanding to the size of an entire alley.
Su Yang passed through the thin membrane and arrived beside Sanque. The window behind him shrunk rapidly and disappeared in an instant.
Sanque, who had witnessed Su Yang’s “traversing” before, was not surprised at all. It did not even turn around as it continued concocting its potion.
Then, Su Yang approached Sanque’s side and stole a glance at his experiment. He noticed that Sanque seemed to be researching a new type of medicine, the test tubes were all black and sticky, looking like asphalt.
‘What is this thing for?
‘Is it to pave the roads?’
Perhaps noticing that Su Yang was observing his medicine, Sanque turned to look at Su Yang. “Is there a problem?”
Su Yang pointed at the filtered liquid and asked, “What medicine is this?”
Sanque said, “Headache medicine.”
Su Yang asked curiously, “Can it treat headaches?”
Sanque shook his head. “No, you get a headache after drinking it.”
Su Yang was confused.
‘What the h*ll is this?
‘A medicine that gives you a headache after drinking it?
‘However… I suddenly have a strange feeling that the name of this medicine is normal. Could it be…’
Su Yang asked, “Have you successfully researched it?”
Sanque slowly shook his head and turned around to continue his experiment.
‘It’s normal that it’s unable to be successful in its research. He’s too quiet and doesn’t communicate with others. Although I’m not knowledgeable in chemistry, biology, or pharmaceutics, but… I do know how to talk. Who knows, I might even be able to give it some inspiration for a breakthrough.
‘However, it has zero communication at the moment. That’s the equivalent of locking down a country from the rest of the world! If it falls behind, it’s going to be in for a beating!’
At that thought, Su Yang shook his head and left the lab.
When he left, Su Yang felt light beside him and realized… It was actually daytime.
Su Yang was startled for a moment before he realized that it was because of the time difference.
When Su Yang signed the contract previously, it was 7pm. After working at it for a while, it was already 8pm in Hawaii. Shanghai and Hawaii have an 18 hours time difference, hence it was normal for it to be afternoon in Shanghai at that moment.
Therefore, he stopped a man who was walking with his head lowered while holding his phone and asked, “Hey man, what time is it now?”
That man was an interesting fellow as well. When he heard Su Yang’s words, he raised his head and his eyes lit up as he replied mysteriously, “It’s the year 2019…”
Before he could finish, Su Yang interrupted him. “Hey man, I’m not a time traveller. I’m just asking for the time.”
When the man heard that, his face instantly lost interest. “Oh, it’s 2pm.”
With that, he lowered his head and left.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘People nowadays are always thinking about unrealistic things.’
After lamenting about how the hearts of people were not what they used to be, Su Yang took a taxi home.
By the time he reached home, Tang Jing had already left while Tang Xiaomi had already had lunch by herself. Su Yang was so worried about the brat, hence he left the [Grass Eating Iron Pot] so that Gru could cook for her.
As for how it would cook for her, it was very simple.
Although Gru was simple-minded and could not read, it had a superb imitation ability.
Su Yang had written more than 30 dishes on the menu and left them for Tang Xiaomi.
Every day, when Tang Xiaomi wanted to eat lunch, she would take out a menu and ask Gru to copy it down on the grass and put it in the pot. That way… The food can be cooked.
After carressing Tang Xiaomi’s hair, Su Yang returned to his room and prepared to add a point for Little Hus.
Even though Su Yang’s livelihood revolved around the system, he was still a human on Earth, hence he could not escape the chains which is money.
Furthermore, after completing such a series of missions, Su Yang realized that he could not complete his missions without money. Hence, he could only complete his missions as soon as possible by obtaining more money.
Therefore, Su Yang placed a lot of importance on his stock investment. After all, he had invested more than half of his wealth in the stock market. If he were to lose it accidentally, it would be too late for him to regret.
With that thought in mind, Su Yang entered the virtual space, exited the castle and headed to a small hill in the East.
When he arrived at the slope, Su Yang asked Little Deeny to call Little Hus over.
In the virtual space, the little monsters were not affected by the time difference. They were still actively jumping around everywhere. Hence, when it heard Su Yang’s call, after 5 minutes, Little Hus, the husky made of cloth, hopped over to Su Yang. “Su Yang! Were you looking for me?”
Su Yang nodded. “I want to give you another point.”
Little Hus’s eyes lit up. It looked around and realized that all it could see was yellow soil and there were no other monsters around.
It whispered, “You’re not going to use the voting system?”
Su Yang shook his head. “No.”
Little Hus’s face revealed an ‘evil’ expression. “Are you playing dirty now? I knew that I’m your favorite little monster.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Forget it, I’m not going to ruin this silly dog’s fantasy.’
At that thought, Su Yang said to Little Hus, “Stop joking around and sit down. I’m going to add a point for you now.”
After comforting Little Hus, Su Yang turned on the system. Instantly, a translucent [+] symbol appeared above Little Hus’s head.
Su Yang tapped on the symbol and a notification popped up in front of him.
[Are you sure you want to add a point onto this monster for the fourth time? The success rate for adding a point for the fourth time will be very low. If you fail, the little monster will die completely. The success rate of adding a point for the fourth time is 1%.]
‘Tsk, isn’t Little Hus’s success rate too low? It’s actually lower than mine.’
For some reason, Su Yang felt better of himself. After all, his [Primordial Success Rate] was twice that of Little Hus!
Su Yang did not click on the option. Instead, he opened the system shop to take a look.
[Random Point]*1
[Bronze Point]*0
[Guardian Talisman]*2
[Recipe Item: Dog Skin Plaster Of Unknown Abilities (+1) / Zinc Gluconate Tablets Of Unknown Ability (+1)]
[Random prize Voucher]: Empty
[Lucky Stone]*47
‘This week’s random items have been updated, plus there’s still the special item from last week, so there are now 2 special items.
‘The refresh rate for [Bronze Point] and [Lucky Stone] is one month. Previously, I’ve bought 2 [Bronze Point] and 19 [Lucky Stone], so there are currently 0 and 47 of them left.’
Su Yang looked at the number of coins in the system shop to find that he had 36,300 coins.
With the stable “profit” from the Angel Search programme, Su Yang had earned more than 10,000 coins in less than half a month.
Therefore, even though he had spent 30,900 coins on continuous purchases, he still had a hefty balance of coins.
Therefore, Su Yang did not hesitate to buy 1 [Random Point] and 2 [Protection Talisman] which was everything there was available in the store.
Then, he clicked on [Lucky Stone].
[Are you sure you want to buy Lucky Stone? The price is 600 coins.]
Su Yang changed the number to 10 and pressed the [Yes] button.
Instantly, the number of Lucky Stones on Su Yang’s system interface went from 0 to 10.
After spending 6,000 coins, Su Yang took out the [Lucky Stone] and placed it on Little Hus.
1 stone, 2 stones, 3 stones… Su Yang kept on going until he had placed 10 stones on it where its success rate had increased to 100% before he finally relaxed.
Then, he told Little Hus, “I’ve already added the [Lucky Stone] for you. The rest will depend on your own luck now! Good luck! Doggy!”
Little Hus raised its paws and gripped them to show a gesture of encouragement as well. Its gaze was firm and confident. “Don’t worry, I will definitely become a real dog!”
Su Yang was confused.
“I’m not asking you to turn into a dog! Upgrade your abilities properly, alright?”
Little Hus shook its head firmly. “No, I want to become a dog!”
Su Yang was speechless.
Su Yang could no longer be bothered with that silly dog. In any case, it was not up to it to decide which direction it would go anyway. Therefore, Su Yang left it behind and disappeared.
After running for more than 100 meters, when Little Hus was only the size of a fist in front of Su Yang, Su Yang clicked [Yes] without hesitation.
As Su Yang clicked on [Yes], there was a buzzing sound coming from the hill nearby. Then, there was a loud bang and the hill exploded with a blinding light as if someone had dropped a bomb on it!
In just an instant, the hill exploded and yellow soil flew everywhere like a sandstorm!
Even Su Yang, who was more than 100 meters away, felt as if the air around him had become more polluted.
When the smoke dissipated, Su Yang walked over carefully. Little Hus had already turned into a green cocoon of light. It floated silently in the air with a countdown. [4:57:31].
‘What? It’s actually going to take 5 hours for Little Hus’s point to be added?
‘That’s 5 times longer than what Little Deeny’s was!
‘Could it be that the time required for the +4 of every monster isn’t consistent?’
Su Yang remembered that when everyone was +3, their required time was unanimous at 1 hour. Therefore, he did not expect that the time required for +4 to be different.
‘5 hours… What should I do during this time?’
As Su Yang thought about that, he suddenly remembered the system shop that he had seen earlier. ‘The temporary slot for the unknown items is full, plus the latest item have also been refreshed.
‘Should I create these 2 special items to replenish my inventory that I have not added recently?
‘Furthermore, I still need to come up with a special item that can be fused with [A Talent Printer That Likes To Jog] and upgrade the printer. I have no idea if I’ll be lucky enough to get that item.’
At that thought, Su Yang did not hesitate anymore. He opened the system shop and started looking at the recipe for the 2 special items.
