“It’s over, it’s all over.”

Li Hanying, also known as Xiao Li, sat in the back seat of the official car with an increasingly grim expression. Pei Yong, that useless man, couldn’t even handle a second-year student. Useless, truly useless.

At that moment, he wanted to kill Pei Yong with his own hands for such a blunder. @@novelbin@@

Whether Pei Yong’s mission was successful or not wasn’t his concern. Pei Yong was just a dispensable pawn, one of the lowest ranks. Every member of the organization lurking in special units would have an underling like Pei Yong. These underlings didn’t know their higher-ups’ identities and were managed by regional liaisons.

This was why Pei Yong knew there were moles in the Abnormal Administration Bureau yet didn’t know precisely who they were.

The higher-ups decided when and how to activate these low-ranking pawns. Even if they died, it wouldn’t matter much. But the critical issue was that Pei Yong didn’t die.

No matter how much information Pei Yong had about the organization, as long as he was captured, the organization wouldn’t spare him as Pei Yong’s handler, even if the Abnormal Administration Bureau couldn’t find him. Especially since he acted without authorization.

‘Damn Shao Zifeng, why did you have to get identified so easily? It’s all your fault! No matter the consequences this time, I’ll kill you myself.’ Li Hanying gritted his teeth, cursing Shao Zifeng in his heart, thinking about why he had to take action.

‘What should I do? I can’t just sit and wait for death.’ With many members of the Abnormal Administration Bureau spread across the city, Li Hanying felt immense pressure. If Pei Yong was caught, the organization would never spare him. He gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk. With a pale face, he glanced at Wang Ge, who was driving, and quietly reached for the dagger in his boot, a fierce glint in his eyes.

“Ding”

The crisp sound of his phone ringing interrupted his movements. He nonchalantly withdrew his right hand and picked up the phone.

“Ordered to investigate the deaths of Mina and Li Jianchi. All concealment agents in Su City, do not act rashly. Report any special situations to me first. Enforcer: ‘Burial Fox.’

Li Hanying leaned weakly against the back seat, feeling relieved yet with mixed thoughts, hoping this Enforcer was easier to bribe. That way, he’d have a path to survival.

Thinking this, he picked up his phone and composed a text message to ‘Burial Fox.’

…

Shao Zifeng, bored, lay on the bed, taking out his blood-stained phone from his backpack. No one seemed to have searched it, and the Elemental Egg lay quietly in the towel. He sighed in relief, thinking the official units were indeed trustworthy.

Skillfully unlocking the phone, he started the platform’s app. He wanted to check the sale of energy potions. Inputting the query information in the trade section, rows of items appeared on the screen, somewhat resembling a game store.

Ignoring the lower-grade potions, Shao Zifeng directly scrolled to the last page, where a few listings appeared.

“Energy Potion VIII, price 275,000 yuan, no stock available.”

Shao Zifeng sighed. Even the platform had none. But it made sense. The officially rationed potions couldn’t be infinitely supplied, no matter how extensive the platform’s resources. Scrolling back a few pages, types IV, V, VI, and VII were all out of stock. He hesitated but ultimately didn’t opt to buy the lower-grade potions.

Not to mention whether such purity could cultivate the Elemental Egg to a five-star potential, Shao Zifeng didn’t want to settle for less since it had the potential to become high quality.

He then recalled Luo Feng’s words before leaving. He still had rewards to claim. Sighing, he realized he had to count on them but couldn’t blatantly choose a specific attribute to avoid suspicion.

Putting down the phone, Shao Zifeng stared at the ceiling, drawing a line in the air. After a moment of waiting, no space rift appeared.

Trying to communicate with the pet beast space again, he got no response. He felt very disheartened, somewhat regretful. Perhaps… he had been too strict with Qiuqiu.

“Knock knock~”

At the sound of knocking, a young nurse with a nurse cap entered: “Mr. Shao, I’m here to check your condition. If there’s no problem, you can be discharged.”

“So soon?” Shao Zifeng was surprised.

He subconsciously raised his arm, no longer feeling that tearing pain, then realized and chuckled bitterly. He still approached problems with a scientific mind.

In this space-time filled with incredible creatures, although humans didn’t gain various magical powers like mutant creatures, their physical conditions significantly improved. Many deadly diseases seemed to have evaporated, and deaths from illness became rare.

But another issue arose: frequent battles caused many injuries and deaths, making the treatment of combat injuries the main focus of medical development in this space-time. Although it hadn’t reached the level of reviving the dead and regrowing bones, typical internal and external injuries could recover eighty to ninety percent within a day.

The young nurse smiled, revealing cute dimples: “Mr. Shao might not know this, but Director Luo instructed us to use the best healing medicine for you.”

Shao Zifeng awkwardly smiled and fell silent, letting the young nurse do her work. Looking at the various unfamiliar devices recording his body status, he felt very uneasy. He resisted anyone’s approach, almost like a stress response, especially since it was a woman.

Hmm… It wasn’t because he wasn’t straight. He was very straight. Just very uncomfortable.

So, he closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

“Congratulations, Mr. Shao. Your condition is good enough for discharge. Just avoid intense activities. Hmm… including those kinds of activities.” The nurse blushed as she spoke, shooting a glance at Shao Zifeng. So handsome!

Shao Zifeng: ???

Those kinds of activities? What activities? Damn it, I’ve been single all my life; who would I do activities with? With a lizard… No way, not with a lizard.

Shao Zifeng nodded expressionlessly, indicating he understood, then looked at the nurse, waiting to see if she had more to say.

The nurse, lost in her thoughts, saw Shao Zifeng signaling to her and was puzzled. What was he hinting at? Could it be…!

The nurse first had an epiphany, then her expression turned shy. She ran to the workstation, writing something while hiding, then returned, handing him a note with a blush, and hurried out of the ward.

Shao Zifeng was baffled, watching the nurse’s disappearing silhouette. He just wanted to ask if Luo Feng left any messages for him. Why was she so shy? Why did she run?

Holding the note with a slight fragrance, Shao Zifeng had a bad feeling. Slowly, he opened it.

“My name is Qu Xiaoxiao. My contact info is XXXXXXXX. Hmm, during my breaks, I can accept your invitation for a meal ⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄”
