Jiang He felt much better after beating someone up.
Arriving at the front desk, Jiang He took out his ID and handed it to the receptionist. Then, the receptionist suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Sir, our hotel has just introduced a new room-sharing service. You can stay in as long as you pay half the room rate. Would you like to try it? "
As she spoke, she took out a photo album. Each page of the album was a picture of a sexy beauty, with a bunch of data below it.
"Tang Yun, 23 years old, 173 inches tall, weight … measurements?"
Jiang He exclaimed in surprise, "What does the price at the back mean?"
The receptionist gave him a knowing look and said with a smile, "These are all people who have experienced the room-sharing service. The price at the back represents half of the room fee that you have to pay. If you are interested, you can choose a room-sharing partner."
"…"
Jiang He gaped. Hotels these days really knew how to play games.
Shaking his head, he said, "It's fine. I've already booked a room. Just handle it for me."
But just as he was handling the check-in procedure, a commotion could be heard. A group of young men and women were striding out of the hotel, and Jiang He could vaguely hear someone cursing, "Damn it, which blind bastard would actually dare to beat up Young Master Wang?"
Jiang He glanced in that direction.
Yes.
Many of them looked familiar. Could they all be his university classmates?
But he only looked familiar. He couldn't remember most of their names. For example, the "Young Master Wang" whom he had just beaten up. If the woman hadn't called him "Young Master Wang", he wouldn't have remembered his surname.
Jiang He did not mind.
Returning to his room, he washed up and took out a lunchbox from his System Backpack.
The lunchbox was divided into two layers. The bottom layer was filled with rice, while the top layer was filled with dishes — stir-fried beef with mutated black wood-ear.
When he opened the lunchbox, a fragrant aroma instantly wafted in the room.
That was why Jiang He would rather bring his own food than eat outside … how could food outside compare to the aroma of his own home? Other things notwithstanding, would there be any mutated black wood-ear that could strengthen his physique … be found outside?
Jiang He estimated that if he sold the mutated black wood-ear, it would not be a problem to sell it for up to eight million.
After finishing his meal, Jiang He nonchalantly threw the lunchbox aside and whipped out his phone to text Mu Wanqiu, who soon called back.
"Jiang He, have you reached Jiangnan already?"
"I'll contact the Lin Clan of Sichuan and ask them to meet you."
"There's no need. I just want to go out for a walk. Give me his contact information. I'll go find him."
Still, Jiang He did not put on airs.
Having prepared his first aid kit, he took out a portion of stir-fried eggplant with leopard python meat and a portion of cucumber salad. Picking up his phone, he found that Mu Wanqiu had already sent him a message.
"Lin Tianzheng?"
"The eldest son of Elder Lin of the Shu-Shu clan. Rank-eight intermediate, adept with the sword, and the chief of the Shu-Shu MAD?"
In addition to the simple information and phone number, there was also a photo attached. In the photo was a middle-aged man with a square face and a somewhat serious expression. Glancing at the phone number …
It was very familiar.
It was indeed the person who hung up the phone in the middle of a business discussion that night.
The call connected, and before Jiang He could say anything, the other party said, "Hello, are you Jiang He, Mister Jiang? Miss Mu has informed me that my father and I are staying at Hotel Caesar. Where are you, Mister Jiang? I'll come to you. "
"Hotel Caesar?"
Jiang He smiled. "I'm staying at the hotel as well. Which room are you in? I'll go check on the patient. "
Elder Lin had contributed greatly to the country during the war, and had retired to Old Tai 'an after the war. Now that he was almost a hundred years old, he had stepped forward bravely to save the citizens and fight Ferals.
Such a person was worthy of respect, and it was not a big deal to visit him personally.
Hence, Lin Tianzheng carried a room number to him.
“7105？”
Jiang He took the room card and locked the door, before heading to the elevator and taking it up to the seventh floor.
Just as he took it up, the doors of the elevator beside him opened.
Whoosh!
A dozen young men and women stepped out of the elevator, led by a youth with a buzz cut and wearing a training uniform. His qi was not weak, and he was close to a rank-three martial artist.
Arriving at Jiang He's room, the young martial artist pulled the hotel attendant behind him and barked, "Open the door!"
The waiter said timidly, "Sir Martial Artist, after the guests check in, we can't casually …"
Slap!
Before he could finish his sentence, he was slapped across the face.
The young martial artist sneered. "Don't you know who I am? Don't you know who Young Master Wang is? Young Master Wang's father is a B-class pinnacle fire-type Awakened and the founder of the Wang Family's Internet Information Security Department. Now, he's in charge of intelligence at Jiangnan's Martial Arts Department (MAD). Are you going to take responsibility for Young Master Wang being beaten up like this? "
Amongst the crowd, Young Master Wang's face was swollen like a pig's. He forcibly snatched the room card from the attendant, opened Jiang He's room door and barged in.
Enraged when he found that Jiang He was not in the room, Young Master Wang smashed the room card before plopping down on the couch, sneering, "To think that I, Wang Shaoyu, would be beaten up by an ex-classmate in a class reunion!"
The youth walked up and said, "Young Master Wang, that Jiang He must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall. He was a yes-man in class back then and did not even dare to brag. His family was so poor that he had to work while studying. He's a piece of trash!"
"That's right! We'll wait for Jiang He's return here!"
The group began to chatter away, appearing immeasurably furious and indignant!
Even if some of them were secretly delighted at Wang Shaoyu's behavior, they would never show it on their faces. Times had changed, and Wang Shaoyu's father had power and authority, which was why everyone wanted to curry favor with him.
Soon.
A middle-aged man with a searing aura entered the room and barked, "What are you doing?"
Wang Shaoyu shuddered and quickly went up to him, asking, "Dad, why are you here?"
The middle-aged man was Wang Gang, Wang Shaoyu's father, a B-class pinnacle fire-type Awakened and the chief of intelligence at the Martial Arts Department (MAD) of Jiangnan City. His gaze was fixed on Wang Shaoyu's face for seconds.
There was a flash of love in his eyes.
Having a son in his old age, Wang Gang doted on Wang Shaoyu a lot. How could he not feel heartache now that he saw Wang Shaoyu like this?
"I'm here at the hotel to visit Elder Lin of the Sichuan Lin clan, and I heard from the hotel manager that you were beaten up … what actually happened?" Being a fire-type Awakened, he naturally had a short temper.
Taking a seat on the sofa, Wang Gang growled, "I'd like to see who would be so bold as to beat up my son!"
Even if he knew that he had to play by the rules as one of the higher-ups of the MAD, he could hardly calm his rage at the sight of his son being beaten up to this extent.
…
Meanwhile, Jiang He had arrived at the door of room 7105.
Wearing a Chinese tunic suit, Lin Tianzheng was all smiles as he approached him, saying, "Greetings, Mister Jiang. I'm Lin Tianzheng, and I've heard about your feats from Miss Mu. You truly are a young hero."
In fact, Lin Tianzheng's first reaction when he heard about Jiang He's feats was disbelief.
A rank-five turned the tables on a rank-seven, a rank-six killed a rank-eight, and even killed the Third Elder and Sixth Elder of the Sky Demon Cult. He had single-handedly foiled all the Sky Demon Cult's plans against Lingzhou City, inflicting terrible losses on the Sky Demon Cult …
Any normal person would be suspicious of such feats.
Even so, being the chief of the Sichuan Martial Arts Department (MAD), Lin Tianzheng had certain clearance. He only had to ask around to confirm those feats, and he was even more delighted after his shock!
A prodigy martial artist like Jiang He would definitely have his own providence, and might have treasures that could cure the Six-eyed Desert Spider's venom and prolong life.
Beside Lin Tianzheng was a middle-aged man.
Lin Tianzheng introduced him to Jiang He, "Mister Jiang, this is Qin Fan, chief of the Jiangnan City Martial Arts Department (MAD) and an A-class Awakened."
Qin Fan appeared a little younger than Lin Tianzheng.
His Qi and True Qi did not feel powerful, and his martial cultivation was just an average rank-six. Even so, there was an exceedingly sharp sword will emanating from his body, and it did not escape Jiang He's senses even if he had withdrawn it.
Shaking hands with Qin Fan, Jiang He exchanged some pleasantries and smiled, "Are you a Royal Sword, Chief Qin?"
Qin Fan's expression twitched. "You really live up to your reputation, Mister Jiang. You have a good eye."
Inwardly, he was very surprised.
He had not released his powers, and those with lower spirit cultivation would not have noticed. Wasn't Jiang He just rank-seven?
Eh?
That was when Qin Fan realized that he could not see through Jiang He.
He realized that he actually could not see through Jiang He, but once he remembered Jiang He's feats, Qin Fan became relieved … the kid must have some secret technique to hide his spirit signature and aura.
"By the way, Chief Lin, we've talked before."
"Hmmm?"
Lin Tianzheng was puzzled, and Jiang He added, "I've posted on Warrior Home …"
Lin Tianzheng's eyes widened in surprise. "Eggplant? Cucumber? "
"That's right."
Jiang He laughed out loud, while Qin Fan was utterly confused beside him.
Eggplant?
Cucumber?
What … did that mean?
Jiang He did not explain, and simply smiled. "Alright, let's take a look at Elder Lin's condition."
A foul stench assaulted Jiang He's nostrils when he entered the room.
Arriving before the bed, Jiang He found a skinny old man lying on it. His face was pitch-black, and even if he was suppressing the venom in his body with a tyrannical energy, the venom had still spread throughout his body, with black pus and blood oozing out of certain parts of his body.
Lin Tianzheng quickly said, "You've seen my father's condition, Mister Jiang. What is the antidote treasure you've got, and could it cure him of the Six-eyed Desert Spider's venom?"
Jiang He shook his head, saying, "I'm not completely confident, so I can only try."
"Alright!"
Lin Tianzheng seethed. "I'll give you the Orirocks I promised you whether it works or not … by the way, where's your treasure, Mister Jiang?"
Lin Tianzheng saw the medicine box in Jiang He's hand, as well as the two lunchboxes inside a plastic bag … but he did not believe that the treasure that could cure the Six-eyed Desert Spider's venom was inside.
This kind of treasure was either a wood spirit or a rare treasure, so it would definitely be stored in a special box.
And yet …
Jiang He put the two lunchboxes on the bedside table.
Then, he opened the medicine box.
It was divided into two layers, with the top layer having less space and Jiang He putting dozens of Amoxicillin capsules.
The Amoxicillin capsules were not packaged, and so were scattered around.
Beneath the medicine box were the Bezoar Detox Pills, which were also not packaged and were scattered around as well. Each pill was the size of a knuckle, and there were up to thirty of them.
Taking out several Bezoar Detox Pills and handing them to Lin Tianzheng, Jiang He said, "These are Bezoar Detox Pills that clear heat and detoxify. Try feeding them to Elder Lin."
Remembering how to consume the Bezoar Detox Pills then, Jiang He instructed, "Remember to drink them with warm water, and take one pill three times a day, with a four-hour interval between each dose."
Lin Tianzheng: "…"
