What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

"Godfather!!!"

Liu Yuan sensed that Yang Xi was showing signs of relenting, so he clung to her leg even tighter, while simultaneously bursting into tears!

Yang Xi feigned helplessness and said, "Alright, alright, then you can hand over 500 million first, that's no more!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan eagerly began transferring money to Yang Xi.

A few minutes later, looking at the changing balance on the shadow banking account, Yang Xi's lips curled up slightly.

I've been incredibly worried about the outcome of the ruling; it hasn't been easy!

029 Missing Person Notice

"The money has been transferred to the organization's account. You've earned fifty merit points, which is a bit of a stretch to exchange for a D-grade ability potion. However, I happen to have a mission that's suitable for you."

"What mission?"

Liu Yuan had transformed back into his werewolf form, his clothes tattered, as if he had endured some hardship.

"Do you know why I chose you? Besides your own extreme desire for power, there's also your identity."

Yang Xi's tone was very calm: "You are the son of the A-level hero Iron-Blooded Warrior, and also the younger brother of the A-level hero Demon Dragon. Your identity means that you can easily obtain the information we need."

Liu Yuan thought to himself, "Just as I thought. There's a reason why the Judgment Organization approached me; they're after the power behind me."

Yang Xi saw through Liu Yuan's thoughts and said, "My mission in Lukang City this time is to find out which organization is behind the blue pill and what their purpose is."

Liu Yuan was taken aback: "Blue pills?"

Isn't the blue pill for that? What organization is behind it? Isn't it just a men's health company?

"Don't misunderstand, the blue pill I'm talking about isn't the one for ordinary people, but the one for heroes."

Is it for...for heroes? Does that mean heroes have different needs than ordinary people in this regard?

Liu Yuan felt his worldview slowly crumbling. The old man… his older brother…

Helpless, Yang Xi simply gave Liu Yuan a good knock on the head. Anyway, now that he has the werewolf ability, he's tough even without transforming, a stark contrast to his previous weak and dissolute appearance.

"Godfather, why did you hit me on the head?"

Liu Yuan hugged his head in grievance. Even an old man wouldn't dare treat him like this, but when his godfather Youji treated him this way, he felt a sense of warmth, as if he were one of his own, and the unease in his heart lessened.

Yang Xi said calmly, "Don't speculate about the organization's purpose. This blue pill has the same function as you imagine, which is to enhance people's abilities, except that it enhances people's superpowers. Well, it can enhance them by about three times instantly."

Liu Yuan's eyes lit up: "It can increase strength by three times, such a good thing?"

Yang Xi snorted coldly: "This thing is not as wonderful as you think. It has quite a few side effects. According to the information we have so far, after using this pill, one's superpowers will go out of control, and one's emotions will become irritable and aggressive."

"That's it?"

Liu Yuan felt that these side effects were completely acceptable.

"Hmph, don't even think about using it, kid. This kind of power is only temporary. The organization's superpower serum is the real deal."

Liu Yuan remained silent.

"So your most important task right now is to investigate the information about this blue pill. There is a hero in Kunlun Brokerage who once used this blue pill."

"Who, my dad or my brother?"

"Neither. It's a rising star that your company is currently promoting, an A-level hero, Glacier Warrior."

"It's this guy? Wow, Li Canyang always acts so cocky, but he's actually a drug addict. No wonder he was so fierce last time, taking down an A-rank Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf all by himself!"

"Gather intelligence as soon as possible. If you have good results, publish a missing person notice for your cousin Li Qiye on page 8 of the Lukang Evening News. We'll meet here at 8 a.m. that morning, and you can get the D-grade gene serum."

……

Qian Duoduo was sitting in the coffee shop, feeling troubled. It was rare for her grandfather to be so generous and help her pay off her debts, but the problem was, where could she find this creditor?

I don't have his contact information, and I don't know Uncle Youji's home address. How am I supposed to find him?

"Looks like I'll have to find a newspaper to place a missing person ad. It'll cost a lot of money, waaaah! I'll ask Grandpa for reimbursement!"

After making up her mind, Qian Duoduo pinched her nose and drank every last drop of the bitter coffee. It was definitely the worst-tasting beverage she had ever had.

"I don't know how Sister Rong manages to keep drinking this stuff every day. She says it can enlarge breasts, but I don't know if it's true."

Qian Duoduo has reached the age where she worries about her figure, but despite growing up eating the same food, she and Ji Yourong are worlds apart in terms of development.

"Let's go with this one. Their entertainment gossip section is quite interesting!"

Qian Duoduo stood downstairs at the office building where the Lukang Evening News was located.

"Hello, would you like something to drink?"

The receptionist led Qian Duoduo to the VIP room.

Qian Duoduo plopped down on the beige leather sofa without any hesitation, skillfully crossing her two thin legs.

What good drinks do you have here?

What she really wanted to ask was which one was the most expensive.

The receptionist also liked Qian Duoduo's appearance, saying, "We have milk tea, Longjing tea, and Pu'er tea. Girls should drink milk tea."

Qian Duoduo's mind was racing; the most expensive item would definitely be mentioned last.

"No need, I'm on a diet so I won't drink milk tea. How about a Pu'er tea instead?"

The receptionist was taken aback; it was rare to find a girl who liked Pu'er tea. But she still smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, our marketing staff will be here shortly."

"Hey, Nuannuan, give us two cups of the new stuff, the Golden Mountain Treasure Tea, all the toppings!" Fan Peng's lazy voice came from around the corner.

Nuannuan said irritably, "You're always freeloading milk tea in the VIP lounge, aren't you afraid of getting scolded by your boss!"

Fan Peng chuckled: "Today is different. Old Gao's wife from the marketing department threw a tantrum and insisted that he go home. I'm here to talk to clients in his place."

Nuannuan rolled her eyes beautifully: "What about the guy behind you?"

Following Fan Peng was Yang Xi, who had just finished his afternoon nap, with a single, conspicuous tuft of hair on his head.

There's no way around it, going to the suburbs early in the morning is too rushed, and I'm late for the company this morning, so my perfect attendance bonus for this month is already gone.

Fan Peng said, "What's wrong? I need an assistant to do business. Go, go, go, hurry up, and remember to make both glasses iced."

Yang Xi yawned: "Hey Lao Fan, aren't you afraid Nuannuan will spit in our milk tea?"

Fan Peng revealed a wicked smile: "I couldn't be happier!"

"Beast!"

Fan Peng tidied himself up and sat down opposite Qian Duoduo with a more solemn air. He could enjoy the drinks, but he still needed to help Lao Zhao with the important matters.

"Ahem, miss, what kind of advertisement do you want to place? Our Lukang Evening News doesn't publish random products in our advertising space. I hope you can understand that."

"I'd like to find someone through your newspaper."

"A missing person notice? That's no problem. What's the name of the person you're looking for? What are their social connections?"

"His name is Youji (酉鸡), I don't know if that's his real name. Also, what does 'social connections' mean?"

"puff!"

Yang Xi, who was drinking milk tea, suddenly sprayed the liquid from her mouth onto Fan Peng's face!

030 Undercurrents

"Old Yang, what's wrong with you? Why did you spray my face like that? It's sticky!" Fan Peng wiped his face with a napkin, looking disgusted, but the milk tea was really hard to get rid of, so he had to go to the restroom to wash it off. "Come over here and explain our newspaper's missing person ad service to this lady. I'll go clean this up first, don't mess it up! Otherwise, Old Zhao will skin me alive!"

Fan Peng left, cursing and swearing.

Yang Xi sat down in front of Qian Duoduo. He found it hard to believe that this seemingly confused girl with long, straight black hair was actually the little money-grubber who had been causing trouble beside him that night.

Although Yang Xi recognized her from her voice, she still pulled out a customer registration form from the documents and gave it to her. After watching Qian Duoduo write her name "Qian Duoduo" on it crookedly with a pen, Yang Xi, while confirming her identity, couldn't help but start to wonder if Qian Duoduo already knew that she was Youji and that she had only come to test her.

"Um, if you'd like some milk tea, I can get you another one."

At this moment, Qian Duoduo is secretly drinking Fan Peng's milk tea with a straw.

Qian Duoduo then glanced at Yang Xi a few times. He was not bad looking, but after meeting Uncle Youji the night before, she found that she had lost interest in this kind of pretty boy with no ability.

"Um, can we have another drink here?"

Yang Xi nodded.

"Then give me one of all the drinks."

Yang Xi: "..."

Qian Duoduo felt a pang of heartache at the thought of having to spend money to buy a section to find someone. She was determined to recoup some of the cost by buying drinks for the guests. Even a small amount is still money!

By the way, the money for posting missing person notices can be deducted from the money given to Uncle Youji, since he didn't leave himself any contact information.

Meanwhile, Qian Duoduo plans to get reimbursed from her grandfather for the money she spent here, so she can get money from both ends and make a profit herself.

Qian Duoduo, you're such a financial whiz!

She was overjoyed, but since there were people sitting in front of her, she resisted the urge to whistle.

Yang Xi asked, "Why are you looking for this person?"

Qian Duoduo said warily, "Why are you asking this? I have something to discuss with Uncle Youji."

The little girl is quite wary.

"Ahem, our newspaper needs to confirm what you intend to do with this Mr. 'Rooster'. To put it bluntly, what if you have some ulterior motives?"

Qian Duoduo put aside her doubts: "You can rest assured about that. I only contacted him to repay the money."

Pay back?

Yang Xi frowned. Was the person in front of him really Qian Duoduo?

How could she actually do something like paying back the money?

Could there be some kind of conspiracy?

"Looks like you two are having a great chat. Miss, I'm not exaggerating, our Lukang Evening News's missing person ads are effective. I guarantee your money won't be wasted. Just the other day, an old man came to us looking for his first love and paid to have a missing person ad placed. Guess what happened?"

Fan Peng pushed Yang Xi aside, and before he could even settle into his seat, he began to demonstrate his skillful business acumen.

To be fair, Fan Peng is quite capable in this area; otherwise, Lao Zhao from the marketing department wouldn't have entrusted clients to him.

"What's wrong?"

Qian Duoduo opened her big eyes and asked with great curiosity; she loved listening to gossip.
