What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

After taking a few more blue pills from the hot and sour noodles superman, Yang Xi disappeared into the night on a metal flying disc.

……

Vanhai Chamber of Commerce.

Qian Duoduo sat proudly on the sofa, while Qian Bukui paced back and forth in the living room.

"You mean this Rooster asked you to participate in a project worth 100 million?"

Qian Duoduo tossed her head back, her two feet swinging happily in the air. "Of course! Uncle Youji and I are sworn brothers, so of course he'll think of me when something good happens!"

This little brat is still basking in the pride of being recognized by the S-level big shot Youji, and even seems to disregard her grandfather, who is usually a bit afraid of her.

Qian Bukui stroked his goatee. As the head of the East Coast of the Fanhai Chamber of Commerce, he was in charge of managing hundreds of millions of yuan in funds within the chamber.

The official reason for coming to the Lukang City branch was to oversee the organization's upgrade and improvement, but everyone knew it was actually a way to give the old man a break.

As one of the three great beast equipment crafters in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and the former closed-door disciple of the great alchemist Damon, Qian Bukui holds a transcendent position within the Vanhai Chamber of Commerce.

Even more important than his son Qian Youque, who was a pillar of the company, was the old man, because he was the guarantee that the Vanhai Chamber of Commerce could have a continuous supply of exotic beast weapons.

It's important to know that among all the chambers of commerce in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, there are only three master-level equipment crafters.

The great alchemist's greatness lies in using his supernatural abilities to invent the Alchemy Matrix.

Alchemy may be Damon's innate ability, but the Alchemy Matrix is ​​the culmination of his acquired wisdom.

There are only two conditions for engraving an alchemical matrix on beast materials.

1. Mental strength scale breaks through 100 Hz.

2. Integrate and master the knowledge of the alchemical matrix.

These two conditions are extremely difficult, because even B-level mental ability users find it hard to accumulate mental power to the level of 100 Hz, since this means that the ability user's mental power must be more than 10 times that of an ordinary person.

The second condition is even more difficult; without sufficient talent, one simply cannot understand the valuable knowledge left behind by the great alchemist.

It's important to understand that this is under the premise that the learner's mental strength has broken through 100 Hz, and their memory and thinking abilities far exceed those of ordinary people.

Under Damon's personal tutelage, Qian Bukui learned the Alchemy Matrix. Although his mental strength was the weakest among the three Grandmasters, his understanding of the Alchemy Matrix surpassed that of the other two.

He now also knows about "White Hole's" plan. After all, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is a large organization and is naturally an important part of the defense.

This only made Qian Bukui more optimistic about the strength of the organization behind Youji, because even the huge Chamber of Commerce Alliance had no information about it before the Hero Association took the initiative to reveal the "White Cavity Counterattack Plan".

However, the organization behind the Rooster was able to find some clues so early on, and even knew about the weak points in Lukang City.

"Our Fan Hai Chamber of Commerce will help with this. As for your kickback, don't ask for so much. We're just helping them dispose of stolen goods. Do you really need 70? Grandpa has made the decision. You can take 7 as your help fee!"

Qian Duoduo collapsed onto the sofa, feeling the Blue Coin "-10000" symbol constantly floating around her.

"Grandpa, Grandpa! Are you getting more and more confused as you get older? How can you call money down the drain like that?" Qian Duoduo exploded, stepping forward to grab her grandfather's beard. "You're not acting like a descendant of the Qian family at all!"

"Duoduo, how dare you!!!"

Ji Yourong, who was eating sunflower seeds nearby, hit Qian Duoduo with a slow, deliberate motion.

"It's all~~~~money that I~~~~earned~~~~with~~~~hard~~~!!!"

Tears streamed down Qian Duoduo's face at a snail's pace.

Finally, he was dragged out of the living room like a koala.

Old Master Qian stroked his beard, shook his head, and said, "This girl really doesn't know how to think long-term. What are transaction fees? The connections in such a large organization are the most important thing!"

The old man used to be greedy, but the more he knew, the more afraid he became of death. Befriending the organization behind the Rooster was the greatest gain.

"The battle on the sea is becoming increasingly dire, and the Hero Association is even distracted by its counter-offensive plan."

"But that makes sense. If we continue to defend passively like this, humanity will be doomed sooner or later. We might as well fight before we die!"

If Qian Duoduo saw the old man's expression at this moment, she would definitely be surprised, because it was completely different from the silly grandpa she had known since childhood. His eyes were filled with the cunning and shrewdness that came with the years!

081 Class A Disaster

Liu Yuan quickly took a picture of the documents on the mechanical warrior's desk with his phone, while also looking nervously towards the door, afraid that the old man would suddenly burst in.

Fortunately, no one entered the study until he finished doing all this, not even a passing maid.

"Haha, mission accomplished!"

Liu Yuan happily closed his phone, sneaked to the garage, and selected a yellow Porsche 911 from his many collections, driving it out of the villa.

Only after he left did the mechanical warrior emerge from stealth mode.

"There's definitely something fishy about this kid."

However, it was inconvenient for him to go along, as a metallic scout bee flew out from the opening on his shoulder and chased after the Porsche 911 at an incredible speed.

Liu Yuan, who was whistling, was completely unaware that the old man was watching him closely. It just goes to show that experience matters.

Mechanical Zhanxiong took the coffee the maid had prepared, put down a sugar cube, and stirred it a few times with a small spoon. On the projection wall in the study, Liu Yuan had already entered the Lukang Evening News office.

"Old Fan, I'm posting another missing person notice."

Liu Yuan patted Fan Peng on the shoulder familiarly. After coming here many times, he and Fan Peng had become quite familiar with each other because they had similar interests... picking up girls and going to bars.

Therefore, when Liu Yuan came to the newspaper office, he skipped the marketing department and handed the business over to Fan Peng.

"Young Master Liu, if you really can't find your cousin, why don't you try other methods? I've seen you post this several times, but it hasn't been very effective. The internet is quite advanced now, why don't you try searching for him online?"

Because he had become close friends with Liu Yuan and often drank his expensive wines, Fan Peng felt a little guilty about taking a cut from Liu Yuan's earnings.

"It's alright, I trust your newspaper to get things done for me."

"Fine, you're the boss since you're paying."

Fan Peng quickly got up and gave his seat to Liu Yuan.

After Liu Yuan sat down, he naturally saw Yang Xi, who had just returned to work after her vacation.

Originally, Liu Yuan wanted to pick a fight with Yang Xi, since the kid didn't give him any face at all. However, considering that Yang Xi had made some gains today and was about to obtain a C-level superpower potion, Liu Yuan decided to be merciful and let Yang off the hook.

On the one hand, he has a good relationship with Fan Peng, and this Xiao Yang is also a good friend of Fan Peng, so he can be considered a friend of Liu Shao as well. He will not bully him if he can avoid it.

On the other hand, Liu Yuan felt that as a hero trainee, he should at least have the professional ethics of not bullying ordinary citizens.

"Xiao Yang, do you have a printer here? Can I borrow it?"

Liu Yuan patted Yang Xi's shoulder heavily a few times. Bearing an immense pressure, Yang Xi kept telling himself: This is my adopted son! This is my adopted son! I absolutely cannot kill him!

"Looking for my cousin, Li Qiye?"

After taking a sip of his slightly bitter coffee, Mechanical Warrior dialed his assistant's number.

“Go investigate the Lukang Evening News, and also investigate a person named ‘Li Qiye’,”

Mechanical Warrior naturally knew that Liu Yuan definitely did not have a cousin named Li Qiye.

"Is this some kind of code? Or does it mean that the person my son contacted really is named Li Qiye?"

Mechanical Warrior had a premonition that the truth was being unraveled and that he would soon know the secret about his own son.

Yang Xi leaned over to see what Liu Yuan, that simpleton, was printing, but was shooed away by him gruffly.

"Get out of here, get out of here. Are you that curious? Don't you know how to respect personal privacy?"

"Cut~"

Yang Xi returned to his seat, and during that glance he had caught a few keywords.

"About the White Serpent? That's very interesting. I wonder what the world over there is like."

After Liu Yuan caused quite a commotion at the Lukang Evening News, he finally drove away.

Fan Peng said to Yang Xi with a helpless expression, "I don't know which idiot told Liu Yuan to come here to post a missing person notice. Thanks for your hard work, brother."

Yang Xi: "..."

After lingering at the office for a while, just as I was about to go out for barbecue with Fan Peng, my colleague next to me started yelling at me while looking at his phone.

"Oh my god, another invasion by alien beasts! This time it's an A-level alien beast!!!"

At the same time, alarms blared throughout the office, and a Hero Association live-streaming robot flew by outside, shouting, "Beast invasion detected! Beast invasion detected!!! Disaster level A! Disaster level A!"

"The location is Mingyue Road, outside the Fifth Ring Road of Lukang City! Heroes of Rank B or above are requested to provide support! Heroes of Rank B or above are requested to provide support!"

"Moonlit Road?"

Yang Xi's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the neighborhood where he had rented an apartment with Lin Naixue and the others before?

Fortunately, today was a workday. Lin Naixue had complained to him this morning about how congested the subway was on her way to work.

He quickly dialed Lin Naixue's number.

But the phone rang five or six times before it was answered.

"Nayuki, where are you? You should be at the company."

The voice that came from the other end was a girl's slightly stuttering voice, accompanied by Bao'er's sobs, "I...I had something to do, so I left work early and went home."

"I...I didn't expect that just five minutes after I got home...the monster..."

"squeak!!!!"

"...Beep beep beep".

With a piercing, sharp scream, Lin Naixue's phone was hung up amidst a commotion.

Fan Peng, standing to the side, looked at Yang Xi with concern, "Is Nai Xue at home?"

Yang Xi nodded with a livid face and quickly ran out of the office.

He vowed that if this strange beast dared to harm Lin Naixue and the others, he would grind it to dust.

"Hey, why are you running away! You're not a hero, going there won't do you any good. Just come with me to the shelter! Even though the monsters are in the Fifth Ring Road now, they might be here soon..."

But when Fan Peng went out, Yang Xi was nowhere to be seen.

In the sky, Yang Xi, who had already transformed into a rooster, stepped on a metal flying disc and ascended to a great height at top speed.

Sure enough... on the outskirts of Lukang, a rat-like monster that stands 20 meters tall is wreaking havoc. Its huge, sharp claws can easily tear open the exterior walls of buildings, and it keeps attacking the terrified humans inside.

Its cry is sharp and piercing, and the sound waves it emits can even destroy buildings on the ground.

Yang Xi immediately recognized the origin of this strange beast.
