Chapter 41 – Advanced potion
Wangshi Group Building.
The buzzing sound of energy circulation rang out, and a continuous and deep thumping echoed in the laboratory.
The deep black firearms roared, and plasma sprayed out from the pitch-black muzzle, illuminating the air with a dazzling light. The blue beam fiercely collided with the towering steel plate, easily cutting through the steel like a hot knife through butter, leaving behind a terrifying black hole, flickering with sparks.
Wang Hongfei put down the pistol and hurriedly approached, looking at the molten iron flowing down the pierced steel plate, unable to hide his excitement.
Pulse energy pistol, this was the first equipment he successfully completed after receiving guidance from the leader. Although it was only his first attempt, he realized that there were still many parts that could be improved and upgraded, but it was still a success.
A real energy weapon.
In less than a day, in a laboratory he had hastily set up this morning, he had overcome countless challenges in cutting-edge fields.
He was a businessman, and he considered himself an excellent businessman. His instinct immediately made him think about how this small pistol could bring huge profits to him and the company, and how it could propel the company to new heights in the dawn of the new era.
But this thought quickly disappeared.
This was not his technology.
Yes, this was a weapon he assembled himself, and he had overcome the difficulties in research. But he knew very well how this idea came about. The leader had implanted inspiration into his mind with unimaginable means, it was a gift to him.
The leader could give, and the leader could also take away.
One of Wang Hongfei's secrets to success was always knowing his position clearly.
The reminder from his secretary appeared on the screen in front of him. Wang Hongfei temporarily set aside a large number of notes and enlarged the call interface before clicking to answer.
"A banquet? Isn't that in the evening? It's just... "
Wang Hongfei glanced at the clock in the corner of the screen. It was 6:20 in the evening.
He rubbed his nose bridge and suddenly felt his eyes were a little sore.
"... Have I been in the laboratory all day?"
"Do you want me to cancel tonight's schedule?" the secretary asked.
"Well... no need, I just want to go out for some fresh air."
Wang Hongfei stood up and stretched his stiff neck.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, there was someone he wanted to meet at the banquet tonight.
...
...
Actually, Wang Hongfei was not very enthusiastic about attending such banquets.
The crystal chandeliers with enchanting lights and the melodious and long cello music. Men dressed in exquisite handmade suits, and women wearing dazzling low-cut dresses. Everyone wore polite masks on their faces, toasting each other with champagne.
"Mr. Huang?" Wang Hongfei cut into the crowd and waved his glass towards a person in the venue.
He was a middle-aged man with short and neat hair, calm and composed, with deep facial lines. He wore a well-fitted light gray suit, exuding a dignified yet approachable image.
Huang Haining, one of the most well-known architects and designers in Kangtu and even the Eastern Continent. His student stood obediently by his side, holding a champagne glass.
"General Wang." Huang Haining smiled slightly and made a gesture of refusal. "I don't drink, I'm sorry."
Wang Hongfei took a sip himself and smiled, "I heard that the 720° Iron Tower you are in charge of designing will be completed in a few days. They all told me that it will be the tallest building in Kangtu. I must be the first one to go up and take a look."
"It's nothing to be proud of. Let General Wang have a look." Huang Haining smiled, "To me, architecture is art, it is the pursuit of a higher realm for individuals.
I know people say that 720 will become a landmark of Kangtu, and some even say it will be the greatest building in the history of this city. But do you see me talking about it all the time?"
One of his students interrupted, "Probably about a hundred times a day."
Huang Haining paused awkwardly.
Wang Hongfei said, "Mr. Huang, here, I also have a place that needs renovation. It's just a warehouse, not very big, but I want to remodel it. I'm thinking of finding a reliable designer. What do you think..."
After all, it was a facility he planned to give to the Alliance, so he had to leave a good impression on the organization. From renovation to facilities, everything had to be done according to the highest standards he could think of.
It could be imagined that organizations like the Alliance probably treated money as worthless and were not very interested in worldly things. So he believed that the sincerity he showed in this matter was more important than the value of the gift itself.
Huang Haining smiled, "General Wang, you don't know, we mainly focus on large-scale buildings and public facilities, and we generally don't take on private projects. But if you don't mind, I can recommend a few designers to you..."
"One billion." Wang Hongfei said straightforwardly.
Huang Haining: "?"
"The design fee, and it's just preliminary. The subsequent fees will depend on the actual situation... Wait, I changed my mind, one and a half billion, let's start with this number."Huang Haining: "???"
"I'm the kind of person who either doesn't do something or does it all at once until I can't do it anymore. So, what do you think?"
Huang Haining was stunned for a few seconds.
Then he silently took the champagne from the student's hand, raised his glass to Wang Hongfei, and drained it in one gulp.
The student was surprised: "Teacher, aren't you... unable to drink?"
"When a friend is found, a thousand drinks are too few. I thought I couldn't drink, but now I realize I just hadn't met the right person." Huang Haining's face turned red after one drink, "No need to say anything else, General Wang. Your business is my business, I promise to satisfy you."
The student opened his mouth: "But teacher, don't you always refuse to..."
Huang Haining gave him a glance, and the student immediately shut up.
Wang Hongfei thought that this student must have a significant background to be kept by Huang Haining's side.
"A true artist should have the ability to turn stone into gold. How can you show your skills if you only know how to meticulously carve jade? You still have a lot to learn." Huang Haining said earnestly.
The student looked confused: "Is... is that so?"
Huang Haining's face was flushed, but he took another glass of wine from a passing waiter and turned to Wang Hongfei.
"Let me toast you again!"
With that, he tilted his head back and drained the glass. But after drinking, his body immediately swayed and he fell to the ground with a thud.
In fact, Mr. Huang can't drink at all.

In the endless hall, a crisp sound came from the equipment for drug synthesis. A light blue test tube automatically popped out, and the humming of the machine still echoed inside the instrument.
"Is this the potion for the advanced sequence C?" Jiang Bei held the test tube in his hand and examined it, "It doesn't seem much different from the previous one."
After She Miao had obtained a batch of materials from the Prayer Meeting, the synthesis of the new potion had been put on the schedule, and now it was completed.
Xiao Qi, who was busy in front of the TV, took a quick glance at this side, her gaze swiftly swept over the test tube, and then immediately retracted.
"This is it, the ingredients are correct... Oh no, I died again?"
She angrily threw down the controller, her fair and tender cheeks puffed up in anger, looking quite cute.
A big red "dead" character was displayed on the monitor in front of her.
The alliance with donations suddenly became lively, so Jiang Bei generously allocated four thousand treasury value to her for a new game console. The superhuman girl had completely fallen for this new toy, undergoing high-intensity military training from morning till night.
It's just a bit hard on the controllers.
Jiang Bei took away the controller she had thrown on the ground with a broken button, took out a new one from a box on the side, connected it for her, and handed it to her.
"Another treasury value has been credited." Jiang Bei glanced at the treasury value on the side of his field of vision that had suddenly jumped, "It seems our newcomer is quite active... no, he should be considered a senior now."
This credit was naturally from She Miao. Eight hours ago, a new name popped up in the task search module, and he assigned She Miao to it. The task should be completed by now.
"There shouldn't be any risk with the sequence C potion, right?" Jiang Bei looked at the blue potion in the test tube and was a bit tempted, "Can I just drink it? Or should I find someone to test it first...
...Wait, it doesn't contain alcohol or anything, does it?"
"No. After advancing to Transcendent, alcohol allergy becomes a thing of the past, you can use it directly." Xiao Qi tilted her head, "Hmm... but I suggest you wait until you come back to drink it, because the potion may affect your energy during its effect."
"Come back?"
"Yes, a dam about 150 miles away is about to break." She said while starting to press her new controller, "If you fly over now, you should be able to make it in time."
What do you think?
