Chapter 282: Chapter 281: Enough or Not (Two in One) Chapter 282: Chapter 281: Enough or Not (Two in One) Crashingly~

The ocean waves gently lapped the dock under the night breeze, with old cruise ships bumping into each other.

Shao Zifeng hung up the phone, reached out to pet the fluffy big head of the mutant creature, a playful smile on his lips.

He had just received a distress call from Tang Tang, saying that Cang Haiyuan had been detained.

Several researchers had already rushed over before, but they hadn’t brought much money, so they turned to Shao Zifeng.

“Meow~”

The massaged mutant creature comfortably squinted, about to nuzzle affectionately, when that spine-tingling sense of crisis hit again.

Shao Zifeng, who was enjoying the petting, suddenly stroked air.

Looking down, he saw the big cat, now a ghost body, burying its head between its paws, its butt in the air, trembling.

Glancing at Qiuqiu, he saw the little guy biting its own tail, looking adorably dumb.

Ha, a lizard.

Shao Zifeng poked its little head with his finger, thinking he had overestimated the little one’s growth.

“Ying~”

Qiuqiu wasn’t upset, just blissfully happy.

He paid no more attention to this little “green tea.”

Shao Zifeng’s gaze returned to the mutant creature, a blue light flickering in his eyes.

A pale blue screen slowly unfolded.

[Name]: Mutant Creature

[Growth]: Growth Phase

[Status]: Healthy, Ghost Body

[Strength]: None

[Phylum]: Chordata

[Class]: Mammalia

[Order]: Carnivora

[Family]: Felidae

[Attribute]: Ghost

[Potential]:

[Talent]: Ghost Cat: Can change body shape at will, switching between intangible and tangible. In ghost body state, can enhance its own strength by absorbing life force from targets.

[Skills]: Soul Absorption (Talent Skill), Stealth, Cute

[Evolution Path]: Mutant Creature – None

[Description]: Ghost Cat, there are rumors overseas that mutant creatures are variations of ghost cats.

After checking its panel, Shao Zifeng felt even more pleased.

He had thought this creature could only improve its star rating by absorbing others’ life force, but this ring had brought him a pleasant surprise.

Based on the conversion between star ratings and ranks, theoretically, the mutant creature could, after entering the ring, help him block one elemental attack of fourth rank or lower.

Compared to when its potential was only one star, this was indeed a qualitative leap.

Qiuqiu is also just at the fourth rank, so why not…

Thinking this, Shao Zifeng suddenly shivered.

Damn it, why was he having such Chen Yixin-like thoughts? Could her craziness be contagious?

It’s important to remember Qiuqiu is no ordinary fourth rank.

Ditching the idea of going back to the Snow Dragon, Shao Zifeng hailed a cab to the address provided by Tang Tang, while the mutant creature concealed itself, swiftly shuttling through the street shadows.

Out of curiosity, Shao Zifeng checked some information about Christchurch City on his phone.

This discovery startled him.

As the third largest city on the island of Xilan, Christchurch City not only has a port like Littleton but also hosts a large number of “technical workers.”

Yes, that is how the official records of Christchurch City refer to them.

Furthermore, a long time ago, through the “Immigration Act,” these “technical workers” were classified as skilled immigrants. The act required practitioners to have over three years of work experience and even set minimum wage standards.

Although these technical workers were officially documented, it did not bring corresponding social status protection to the practitioners.

From the data he gathered on his phone, these so-called technical workers were actually employed by local violent gangs, and these gangs operated so blatantly that they didn’t even spare the officials any dignity in their territories.

Seeing this, Shao Zifeng suddenly felt a bit worried.

If this trip was just about paying a fee, it would be tolerable, but these individuals were tied to local gangs.

They were only staying here briefly and unless absolutely necessary, he really did not want to deal with these kinds of people.

Creak–

The taxi stopped next to an old European-style building, Shao Zifeng handed the driver 200 yuan. Ignoring the driver’s shouts, he didn’t look back and headed towards the clubhouse.

The driver, looking at the unfamiliar currency in his hand, felt the urge to chase after him and argue, but upon seeing the building before him, he chickened out, stepped on the gas, and left grumbling.

Seeing the taxi drive away, Shao Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Truthfully, he too was helpless; his trip had been too rushed, and having never been abroad before, he hadn’t thought to exchange for Xilan currency.

Nevertheless, whether buying flowers or paying the fare, he had given more than necessary; perhaps it would be a bit troublesome to exchange, but they definitely wouldn’t lose out.

“Sir, welcome.”

He pushed open the clubhouse’s main door, where a tall woman dressed in professional attire bowed slightly.

“Room 203, looking for someone.”

The woman, upon hearing this and noticing that Shao Zifeng was of Eastern descent, showed a look of sudden realization.

“Please follow me!”

Following the woman, Shao Zifeng looked around. The entire lobby was filled with art pieces; judging just by the furnishings and decor, one could believe it was a modern art exhibition hall.

It was only when he stepped onto the second floor that the entire atmosphere changed. Under the ambiguous lighting, the walls were decorated with paintings full of suggestive meaning.

The air was filled with a cloyingly sweet scent of powder, making Shao Zifeng slightly frown.

Knock knock!

Walking up to the door marked with the number 203, the woman knocked and bowed slightly to Shao Zifeng before turning to leave.

Soon the door was opened from the inside, and a tall Caucasian man stepped out.

He wore a leather vest, adorned with various metal ornaments, clinking as he walked. His exposed skin was covered with extensive tattoos.

“Did you bring the money?” the man asked, his lip pierced with a stud that glistened as he spoke, drawing attention.

Shao Zifeng inwardly cursed upon seeing this man; the more he wanted to avoid trouble, the more trouble seemed to find him.

He lifted the travel bag in his hand, his lips curling into a faint smile, “Where are the people?”

The man, however, ignored Shao Zifeng, suddenly reaching out to grab the travel bag and attempt to snatch it away.

Shao Zifeng’s eyes flashed, and he tightly gripped the strap of the travel bag, “Take me to see my companions, and all this money is yours.”

The Caucasian man’s face turned red and his neck veins bulged, but he still failed to snatch the travel bag and looked at Shao Zifeng in surprise, “You’re pretty strong.”

“Come with me.”

Upon entering the room, under the dim, ambiguous lights and swirling smoke, several tall Caucasian men sat casually on sofas, each holding a woman in his arms and laughing loudly with a wine glass in hand.

Opposite them, two strapping mutant creatures that resembled dogs cornered several people against the wall, their eyes ferociously fixed on their necks as saliva continually dripped from their mouths.

Due to the overly dim lighting and swirling smoke inside the room, Shao Zifeng could only faintly make out the figures of the researchers.

He frowned slightly, then looked toward the two mutant creatures.

[Name]: Evil Dog

[Growth]: Mature stage

[Status]: Healthy, Bully (1/5)

[Power]: Tier three

[Phylum]: Chordata

[Class]: Mammalia

[Order]: Carnivora

[Family]: Canidae

[Attribute]: None

[Potential]:

[Talent]: Domineering: Passive talent. When affected by this talent, the subject experiences fear and adds a “Bully” status for themselves, gaining one layer for every target intimidated, stacking up to five layers. (Bully: Increases own attack power and intimidation force. When Bully status stacks to five layers, it triggers the “Evil” state, upgrading the power of the next attack by one tier.)

[Skills]: Bite, Charge, Tearing Claw Strike

[Evolution Path]: American Bully Pitbull – Evil Dog – ? (Insufficient Qualities)

[Description]: An extremely ill-natured mutant creature, inherently ferocious and bloodthirsty, it is a rare mutant whose intelligence decreases with evolution. By the time it reaches its final form, its brain may be the size of a walnut, comprised entirely of muscle.

Even with decent innate abilities, two tier-three pets shouldn’t be a match for Cang Haiyuan; it seems he doesn’t want to cause trouble.

“Eastern boy.”

The white man sitting among the group, with a cigar in his mouth, stood up, hugging the woman beside him, and walked to Shao Zifeng with a glass in hand, “Did you bring the money to ransom your friend?”

Shao Zifeng pulled out the remaining forty thousand in cash from his travel bag: “Here’s 40,000 yuan, almost 10,000 in New Zealand dollars.”

The man with the cigar chuckled, pretending to reach for the money. The moment he took the money, his hand loosened.

Snap.

The stacks of cash fell to the ground.

Shao Zifeng raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean?”

“What do I mean?” The man’s demeanor gradually cooled, “You think this little bit of money can play around with our girls? Do you think you’re dealing with beggars?”

At that, the other men also stood up, constantly shouting.

“Kid, you better recognize where you are. You think you can redeem someone with that little money? Who do you think you’re underestimating?”

“Fuck…”

Their faces wore mocking smiles as they continued to spout various trash talk.

Qiuqiu clenched Shao Zifeng’s arm tighter, and flames flickered in its pupils.

It didn’t fully understand what those men were saying, but their demeanor told it that they were insulting Tang Tang.

At such close quarters, they could each feel the emotional turbulence of the other. Shao Zifeng also suddenly felt a surge of anger.

Taking a deep breath, Shao Zifeng’s smile remained unchanged, “So you’re not planning on releasing him?”

“Of course, we’ll release him–but everyone is out here to make some money. Your Daxia’s money is not worth much here,” the lead man bared his chilling teeth, eyeing Shao Zifeng malevolently, “How about this, I’ll count it as 40,000 Daxia money per person, how about that?”

The people from the research team watched, glaring angrily, protesting that they were untrustworthy.

“Shut up, you despicable Easterners.” One of them suddenly turned around and punched a researcher in the face.

“Xiao Li!” Yang Qi stepped forward and caught the fallen researcher.

Shao Zifeng felt like his chest was about to explode; he found it increasingly hard to control his emotions. However, starting a conflict rashly on New Zealand Island would not end well.

Enduring the fury in his heart, Shao Zifeng slowly squatted down to pick up the money.

The leading young man displayed a malicious smile and tilted his glass over Shao Zifeng’s head.

As the clear droplets were about to fall on his head, Shao Zifeng’s pupils suddenly turned gold and red, and he agilely stood up and kicked the man in the chest.

Bang!

“F…”

A strong force came from behind, and the man’s body hit the wall hard, causing the suggestive paintings hanging there to tremble slightly.

The man rubbed his chest, lifted his head to speak to Shao Zifeng, but just as he was about to open his mouth, a large cat suddenly appeared beside him, its sharp claws resting against his carotid artery, gleaming coldly under the light.

“Ah!” Several women, startled by the sudden turn of events, clutched their heads and screamed repeatedly.

“Fuck squid!”

Seeing their boss being attacked, the other gang members’ eyes turned bloodshot as they charged toward Shao Zifeng.

Shao Zifeng twisted his neck and approached them proactively.

“Woof!” The two Evil Dogs turned around and bared their fangs at Shao Zifeng upon seeing this.

“Roar!”

Furious, Qiuqiu let out an angry roar at them, and the two American Bully Pitbulls instantly trembled and lay down, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, two dark red flames burst from their fur, and the Evil Dogs howled in pain.

Under the intimidation of Qiuqiu’s dragon might, the men who were charging at Shao Zifeng also halted, their faces filled with terror, their bodies trembling unconsciously.

Bang bang bang!

Dull thudding noises rang out as all the men fell to the ground, howling in agony.

Shao Zifeng bent down to pick up a wad of money, walked over to the terrified boss, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up.

The big cat obediently returned to Shao Zifeng’s side, continuously wagging its tail.

Slap!

Shao Zifeng struck the man’s face hard with the money, his golden-red vertical pupils coldly staring at him, “Is that enough?”

Never having been treated this way before, the man opened his mouth to curse, “Fuck!”

Slap!

“Is that enough?”

“You, give me…”

Slap!

Shao Zifeng didn’t ask any further, and continued to strike the man’s face with the money. Before long, the man’s face had swollen considerably.

Slap!

The blood-stained money was smashed into the man’s face, and he had already fallen unconscious.

Letting go, Shao Zifeng allowed him to collapse to the ground and looked down at the others.

The men continued to tremble, looking at Shao Zifeng with eyes full of deep fear, as if staring at a demon.

Shao Zifeng took a deep breath, his anger subsiding significantly, and he walked over to the corner to look at the men squatting there.

“Where is your Emperor Penguin… get dressed, who are you showing this to?” He disdainfully looked at a young man with disheveled clothes, his tone full of contempt.

Cang Haiyuan’s face turned beet red, “They threatened me with Yang Qi’s life, what could I do.”

“Zifeng junior, don’t blame Haiyuan, it’s our fault for dragging him into this.” Yang Qi’s hair was somewhat messy and one of his glasses’ lenses was broken.

He stood up, tidied his hair, and said with regret looking at the broken flower pot on the ground, “What a pity, the Silver Fern Grass I just bought got broken.”

“Silver Fern Grass?” Hearing this name for the second time tonight, Shao Zifeng was taken aback, looking down at the shattered flower pot.

A blue dot in his eyes flickered slightly and began to slowly rotate.

[Name]: Silver Fern Grass

[Attribute]: Wood

[Quality]:

[Condition]: Damaged

[Description]: A medicinal Silver Fern Grass.

[Effect]: Long-term consumption can slightly enhance the strength of wood-type mutant creatures and slightly increase wood-type potential.
