Chapter 221 - 161: The Secret of the Wonders of the World! These foods are all prepared for you! _2
“Alright, I have explained everything that needed explaining.” Shen Nanfeng finished the tea in front of him and said, “Now, Yunxiao will tell you about the following matters.”
Zheng Cheng nodded, “Alright, Director, I’ll take my leave then.”
Both of them stood up to leave, and Shen Nanfeng let out a deep sigh.
“The Time-Space Rift… it is the fundamental thing of a tribe on the Alien Battlefield.”
“Only by occupying the Time-Space Rift can one maintain the initiative on the Alien Battlefield.”
“I hope this kid won’t get scared to death when he gets to the Alien Battlefield!”
Outside the door, Zheng Cheng and Zhao Yunxiao headed towards the office one after the other.
Zheng Cheng curiously asked, “Sister Yunxiao, is there something else you want to say?”
“Of course, there is.” Zhao Yunxiao opened the door and entered, “About your trip to Beijing.”
“Beijing? What about it?”
“Every year, during the college entrance examination, the top students from each province are bound to be admitted to the higher education universities of Beijing. Of course, whether you go or not is up to you.”
“Apart from going to study at the university in Beijing, you also have to transfer your Night Watchman’s file to Beijing.”
“Transfer to Beijing?” Zheng Cheng asked, “Why, aren’t my files in Chang’an City?”
Zhao Yunxiao shook her head, “It’s not the same. Chang’an City is just a branch, Beijing is the headquarters.”
“At the Night Watchman’s headquarters, you can get better training and opportunities.”
“That… alright.”
“You will go to Beijing in a month.” Zhao Yunxiao continued, “Do you have any plans for this month?”
“No, why?”
“Good, then, follow me on a mission.”
Zhao Yunxiao slapped the table, “Before you go to Beijing, I will train you to be an excellent Night Watchman!”
“Er… alright.”
In the following two days, Zheng Cheng remained at the Night Watchman base, exercising while waiting for Zhao Yunxiao’s orders.
After work the next day, he specifically went to the slaughterhouse, trying to dissect some special ingredients using random dissection.
Half a day later, he walked out of the slaughterhouse.
This time, the haul was quite good; many special ingredients were now in the space ring.
“Could it be because the level of Random Dissection has risen, thereby making the success rate of dissecting ordinary animals skyrocket?”
“It’s only been a few hours, and I’ve dissected so many special ingredients.”
“With so many special ingredients to boost attributes, I wonder to what extent I can raise Chen Xiao’s four-dimensional attributes?”
On the third night, Zheng Cheng invited Chen Xiao to his room alone.
Chen Xiao curiously asked, “Brother Cheng, why did you want to see me now? Where’s Little Chicken?”
“He didn’t come, I only invited you.”
“Huh? Just me?” Chen Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth, “Brother Cheng, I have a normal sexual orientation…”
“F*ck off! I’m normal too!”
Zheng Cheng kicked him away, “I asked you to come for a barbecue, are you eating or not?”
“Eat! Of course, eat!”
Zheng Cheng put the charcoal in the barbecue grill. After lighting it up, he squatted on the ground and started grilling.
Chen Xiao took a bottle of chilled beer from the refrigerator and came over, “Hey, Brother Cheng, where did you buy this squid? It looks pretty fresh…”
“Squid…”
Zheng Cheng said, “Take a rest, it’ll be ready in a bit.”
“Alright!” Chen Xiao rolled up his sleeves and assisted, “Holy shit, Brother Cheng, you even have pig kidneys? Cow’s eyes? Your ingredients are pretty hardcore, where did you get them?”
Zheng Cheng said casually, “Bought them, cost me quite a bit of money.”
About ten minutes later, a pile of grilled pig kidneys, grilled cow’s eye, grilled chicken hearts and more were all placed in front of Chen Xiao.
“Eat.”
“Brother Cheng, why aren’t you eating?”
“There are still some grilled squid and tofu left, I’ll take care of them first.”
“Tofu?” Chen Xiao grabbed a grilled chicken heart and stuffed it into his mouth, “Why eat tofu with barbecue? Strange…”
“The taste is not bad.”
“Eh? What’s this…”
As he munches on grilled squid, Chen Xiao points to a pile of bloody red, oval meatballs,”
Zheng Cheng casually replies, “Chicken hearts.”
“Hearts of a chicken? Hehehe, this boy ain’t gonna take that lightly…”
“Um, Brother Cheng, this grilled pig kidney is excellent. You should try it,” Chen Xiao teases with a laugh.
“I’ll pass, all this was prepared for you.” Cheng replies handing him a bowl of tofu pudding, “Here, have a drink of this.”
“Looks not bad though…”
Chen Xiao downs the whole bowl of tofu pudding at once, smudging his lips, “Tastes a bit strange, but it’s kinda tender.”
“There are also chicken hearts. Have them.”
“Thanks, Brother Cheng!”
Chen Xiao throws two grilled chicken hearts into his mouth, eating them messily with oil dribbling down his chin.
“Brother Cheng, start eating, don’t let me eat it all.”
“You eat, you eat, it’s all yours…”
“Hmm…”
By the way, Chen Xiao, what’s your physical constitution and mental attributes?”
Constitution and mentality?” Chen Xiao thinks for a moment, “72 for constitution, 18 for mentality, why do you ask?”
“Oh, nothing.”
Zheng Cheng shakes his head and mutters to himself, “Physically, he’s fine, but the mental difference is too great, mutation could possibly happen, though the chances are extremely slim.”
“But never mind, I have a backup plan…”
“Damn…”
Two hours later, Chen Xiao collapses on the couch, “Chen…Cheng, I can’t eat any more. Where the hell did you get these massive kidneys?”
“Eat!” Zheng Cheng demands as he stuffs more grilled squid into his mouth. “It’s for your own good!”
“Damn…”
After reluctantly eating some more, Chen Xiao suddenly comments, “Why do I feel warm all over…Brother Cheng, I know you’re worried about me, but going to the Chasm as a soldier has been my dream since I was a kid, please stop trying to dissuade me…”
“Brother Cheng, can you turn on the AC? I feel so hot…”
“Wait… something doesn’t feel right in my stomach…”
He instinctively looks down at his belly, his face instantly turning ashen.
“This…this…Inferior-man Tentacles! Special ingredients?”
“Brother Cheng, what is this…”
Only then does Zheng Cheng speak up, “Xiao, these special ingredients all came from the radiation island.”
“If you’re going to such a dangerous place, I have nothing good to give you, consider these ingredients as my parting gift.”
“Don’t refuse it. With this assignment, we brothers don’t know when we’ll see each other again.”
Chen Xiao’s eyes bulge with shock, “And these chicken hearts, pig kidneys, and cow eyes – they’re all special ingredients?”
“Chicken hearts add 1 point to constitution, pig kidneys also add 1 point to constitution, cow eyes add 1 point to strength, even the snake gall can boost mentality…”
“Now my constitution is around 132 points, and mentality is 38 points…”
“The constitution is enough, but mentality is a bit short…”
“What do you mean?”
Chen Xiao’s face tightens, “Brother Cheng, these special ingredients are worth a lot of money, you’ve almost exhausted that two million gold coins you made from spinach, haven’t you…”
Zheng Cheng waves a hand dismissively, “It’s okay, we’re brothers, as long as you’re safe.”
“No, it’s not that…”
All of the sudden, Chen Xiao’s skin turns red as if he is sunburnt. His face is as red as a monkey’s butt being burned, with steam constantly coming out of his head.
“Brother Cheng, I…I feel a pain all over, like many little snakes crawling on me…”
“Pain?” Zheng Cheng is confused. “I didn’t feel that when I ate it. Your constitution is already at 132 points with the boost from those low-star special ingredients, although your mentality is a bit behind, but why would it…”
“Brother Cheng, what…what’s happening to me?”
“A mutation,” Zheng Cheng manages to grit out, “You hit the one-in-ten-thousand chance. Some parts of your body… might be mutating.”
“What the hell?”
