Feeling the searing energy ripple from the old man's body, Jiang He glanced at Duan Tianhe and could not help asking, "Old Duan, is that old man a B-class fire-type Awakened?"
"He's not a pure B-class fire-type Awakened."
"He counts as an Awakened with a special class. His powers do not come out of thin air, and he relies on that black hammer."
Jiang He stared at the blazing black hammer. "That hammer is quite something. Even B-class alloys would melt under such searing flames, but it's fine."
"Eh?"
Jiang He's gaze suddenly twitched and he exclaimed in surprise, "That hammer could shrink or expand?"
The black hammer that was melting metal was clearly one size larger than before.
"It's a materialized item, so it could naturally shrink or expand."
Duan Tianhe smiled. "In fact, the old man's power isn't fire, but the hammer. Fire is just an additional ability of the hammer."
Materialized item?
Jiang He appeared thoughtful.
The old man was quite something — he actually awakened a hammer.
After leaving the room where the old man forged his weapon, Duan Tianhe clamored to treat Jiang He to a meal, which Jiang He politely declined, saying, "Chief Duan, please eat. I've already eaten on my way here, and I have an appointment with Mu Wanqiu to discuss something with her."
Duan Tianhe suddenly became mysterious at the mention of Mu Wanqiu.
He looked around to make sure no one was around before approaching Jiang He and whispering, "Jiang He, I heard that you've made Mu Wanqiu … big and coarse corn?"
"…"
Jiang He was speechless.
Why did that sentence sound so awkward?
Still, he nodded since there was no need to hide such things. "I found a type of corn out in the wild," he said. "It had evolved after absorbing cosmic energies, and it definitely promotes the second development of a certain part of a woman's body."
Duan Tianhe stammered a little embarrassedly, saying, "Could you sell me two stalks of that corn? I've asked around, and it's five hundred thousand each, no discount required. "
"I did keep a few, but …"
"Forget it. Come to my house tomorrow to get it."
Jiang He swallowed his question that was at the tip of his tongue.
Was there a need to ask?
Duan Tianhe didn't ask Mu Wanqiu for help because he couldn't bring himself to ask, and the only reason he was buying this thing was because his wife or girlfriend was a flyer. There was nothing to ask.
Watching as Jiang He left, Duan Tianhe whipped out his phone happily and sent a voice message.
"My dear, I'm sorry. I've been too busy recently and couldn't celebrate your birthday with you. However, I've prepared a surprise for you!"
…
The Superpower Research Department's Feral Materials Acquisition Department was also established in a separate building within the MAD.
Someone immediately came to greet Jiang He as he entered the building.
It was a tanned female martial artist with a voluptuous figure.
"Mr. Jiang, Sister Mu has been waiting for you. This way, please."
Jiang He studied the female martial artist, his eyes eventually landing on her chest as he asked, "You've used my products before?"
The female martial artist was a little angry. She snorted coldly and said, "Never used it."
"Amazing."
Jiang He chuckled. "Then it's all natural. It's really huge!"
Seeing that the female martial artist was clenching her teeth and trembling a little, Jiang He asked in concern, "Are you feeling unwell, pretty? Why don't you tell me where Mu Wanqiu is and I'll go look for her myself? You should sit down and rest. "
"…"
The female martial artist took a deep breath and forced a smile. "It's fine, Mister Jiang. I'll take you there."
Mu Wanqiu's office was on the top floor.
Compared to Duan Tianhe's office, Mu Wanqiu's was much more exquisite. There were some devil ivy potted plants inside, as well as a cloakroom, a small bedroom, and a gym.
"Please take a seat, Mister Jiang."
The female martial artist invited Jiang He to take a seat and poured him a cup of tea, putting it on the coffee table in a huff.
Clang.
A little of the tea spilled out.
Jiang He was about to lecture her when Mu Wanqiu came out of the gym.
She seemed to have just finished training. There was a white towel around her neck, and she was wearing a set of black and white gym clothes. She had black shorts on her lower body and a small white tank top that looked like it was about to burst open.
"You have a great figure, Miss Mu."
Jiang He praised. "Actually, this is fine. You don't have to think about shrinking, Miss Mu."
Beside him, the female martial artist's eyes were bulging.
Was …
Was Mister Jiang that fierce?
Previously, he had teased her with a few words, and she had been extremely angry. Now, it seemed that this was not even an appetizer. He even dared to tease Big Sister Mu. She remembered that someone had once teased Big Sister Mu, and that person's legs were broken and his head was burned bald.
She was even a little expectant. Would Sister Mu flip out later?
And yet …
Mu Wanqiu did not flip out.
She chuckled bitterly and said helplessly, "There's no helping it. I have to accept my fate."
Speechless, Jiang He muttered, "Miss Mu's acting is really smooth …"
The atmosphere was a little weird, and there were even sparks leaping out of Mu Wanqiu's head. Jiang He said meekly, "What I mean is that your acting is smooth."
What are you doing?
You look like you're going to eat me up!
You're taking advantage of me, and you're still pretending?
Why didn't I see you acting when you were flatter than me before?
Just as Mu Wanqiu was about to flip out, Jiang He's tone changed and he said, "Miss Mu, I've come to talk to you about something. I heard that the Superpower Research Department has been developing medicinal pellets, and I'm here to ask … are there medicinal pellets of a higher grade than qi pellets?"
Taking a deep breath, the sparks over Mu Wanqiu's head slowly faded as she said, "You want to buy medicinal pellets that improve True Qi cultivation?"
"The Superpower Research Department is definitely developing new medicinal pellets, but it's still in clinical trials. I'll inform you as soon as there are results. Xiao Zhu, see him out."
She returned to the gym, her face filled with rage.
Beside her, the female martial artist said with a scowl, "Please, Mister Jiang."
Jiang He was utterly confused.
What the heck?
We were having a nice conversation, and she suddenly changed her attitude?
Glaring at the female martial artist, Jiang He barked, "I don't need you to invite me. I can walk myself."
Watching as Jiang He left, the female martial artist named Xiao Zhu even vaguely heard Jiang He's retort —
"Women are so pretentious!"
…
It was already nightfall, and it was still drizzling outside.
At first, Jiang He was about to buy a car at Motor City, but after some thought …
"Most people would have gotten off work at this hour."
"Moreover …"
"Why would I buy a car?"
"Whether I can plant it or not is another matter. I'll get myself a car model and try it at home."
Jiang He went to a supermarket on the street.
His gaze was drawn to a toy car that was exquisitely designed. It was a red sports car that looked very similar to Enzo's Ferrari, although it was more streamlined than Enzo's.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged woman, and she came up to him with a smile. "Young man, buying a toy for your son?"
She fiddled with the toy car, and it turned into a Transformer that was around forty centimeters tall.
Then, she took out a remote control and pressed a button.
Click, click.
The Transformer turned back into the red sports car.
"My son bought this toy car from some technology exhibition. It's remote-controlled, transformable, and it's a great car. It's on sale now for 998 dollars."
Jiang He promptly took out a handful of hundred-dollar bills from his System Backpack and slapped it on the table without even counting.
"I'm taking this car!"
What kind of joke was that?
Only 998 for an Enzo? That's too cheap, right?
Most importantly …
Putting away the remote control, Jiang He carried the toy car out of the supermarket, muttering, "This car can transform too. I wonder if it would retain that characteristic after I plant it!"
