Regarding the Two-Way Transfer Talisman, Xiong Kang knew about them well.
At the beginning, in the Q area, if the Two-Way Transfer Talisman hadn’t been destroyed by the Insect Clan, the damage to the STO wouldn’t have been so severe.
Now, Wang Duli was actually planning to deploy a Two-Way Transfer Talisman, he must have sensed some danger.
Seeing Xiong Kang’s anxious expression, Wang Duli chuckled softly, "Don’t be so nervous, this is just a precautionary measure to add a layer of security to our operation."
Hearing Wang Duli’s mysterious words, Xiong Kang didn’t ask further and nodded, "Hmm, I understand, I’ll go arrange it in a moment."
Riding in the car heading to the Emperor, Wang Duli looked at Lu Zixun beside him and pointed at the bottle on his neck.
"This bottle contains Awakening Fragrance, which can make up for your feline species’ inherent deficiencies."
Inherent deficiencies?
Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun frowned slightly and pondered for a while, failing to understand where his deficiencies lay.
Noticing the confusion in Lu Zixun’s heart, Wang Duli continued, "Cats’ sleeping patterns are different from humans; they need to sleep a full fourteen hours a day. While this is no problem for ordinary cats, for you, it’s deadly."
At this moment, Lu Zixun suddenly understood—this was what Wang Duli was referring to.
He had felt this issue before, but simply had no solution.
The Awakening Fragrance given by Wang Duli undoubtedly solved this problem for Lu Zixun.
Raising his paw to salute Wang Duli, Lu Zixun earnestly said, "Thank you, Elder Wang."
Seeing Lu Zixun’s obedient demeanor, Wang Duli smiled and patted Lu Zixun’s head, "No need to thank me, I’ve wanted to give this to you earlier, just hadn’t found the right opportunity."
Gently sniffing the Awakening Fragrance, the occasional drowsiness that invaded his mind finally dissipated substantially.
With a clear mind, Lu felt quite good.
From what Xiong Kang mentioned, the Emperor was actually styled quite like a hotel from the outside.
Once inside the Emperor, Lu Zixun realized he had spoken too soon, as the grandeur of the Emperor far surpassed any hotel.
The entire interior of the Emperor was resplendent, and the professional service staff and polite demeanor provided an extremely comfortable check-in experience.
Not only that, but Lu Zixun also discovered something interesting.
When Xiong Kang pulled out his STO credentials, the service attitude of the staff at the Emperor turned even more respectful by several notches. It seemed that STO held a high status here.
While waiting for some press information at the front desk, a chubby man wearing a hotel manager badge came out of the elevator, smiling broadly as he approached Xiong Kang.
He greeted with a smile and took a look at Tang Mo, Xiong Kang shook his head, "Boy, you’ve gained quite a bit of weight, it seems like life’s been treating you well lately."
Proudly admitting, Tang Mo sighed curiously, "But Brother Xiong, you suddenly coming to stay at the Emperor, do you have a mission?"
"Not exactly, just some matters where we need your, well, more accurately the Tang Family’s help."
Pausing, Xiong Kang continued, "If faced with a sudden Insect Tide, it seems only the Tang Family can buy us some time until STO arrives."
Hearing this, Tang Mo’s eyes widened, mumbling, "Brother Xiong, you’re putting your brother in a tight spot here; the Emperor is my life’s work!"
Tang Mo’s voice was quiet but still caught by Xiong Kang.
He gave the chubby man a displeased glance, "When have I ever put you in a tight spot? This is called making rational use of the resources around us. Besides, when have I ever shortchanged you in compensation?"
With an embarrassed grin, Tang Mo scratched the back of his head, "Brother Xiong, are you free tonight? It’s been a long time since we last drank together. How about we go have some fun today?"
Shaking his head to decline Tang Mo’s invitation, Xiong Kang handed the registration form to the receptionist, "I’ve been really busy recently. I’ll call you when I have time."
He gestured with his hand, and only then did Tang Mo notice Xiong Kang’s companions, Wang Duli and Lu Zixun, standing behind him.
Seeing Lu Zixun sizing up the hotel’s interior, Tang Mo’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Pointing excitedly at Lu Zixun, he looked at Xiong Kang, "Brother Xiong, is this the pet you got for me?"
Surprised, Xiong Kang followed Tang Mo’s pointing finger and his mouth twitched.
He seemed to have forgotten something. Originally, Tang Mo had asked him to find a cat that was particularly friendly. Xiong Kang remembered it at that time but forgot all about it after drinking and going to sleep.
Folding his arms and staring at Lu Zixun, Tang Mo pursed his lips, somewhat uncertain, "This cat... it kind of looks like the Guardian Beast from your sto office..."
Before Xiong Kang could speak, Lu Zixun smiled at Tang Mo, "Hello."
Startled by the talking cat, Tang Mo jumped, but quickly regained his composure, his eyes sparkling.
"So, you are Lord Cat! I’ve heard so much about you; I never imagined Lord Cat would be this handsome."
"Good eye, you’re quite handsome yourself!"
Hearing this, Lu Zixun nodded in agreement and complimented Tang Mo in return.
"How can a cat tell if someone is handsome or not."
Internally mocking, Xiong Kang looked at Lu Zixun’s smug expression and shook his head without saying anything.
Calculating briefly, Wang Duli interrupted Tang Mo and Lu Zixun’s mutual admiration and looked at Tang Mo with a calm expression, "Show me the room."
The Emperor was not too far nor too close to Yangming Mall, just across the street.
To keep an eye on Yangming Mall, it was necessary to check whether the room’s floor-to-ceiling windows could view the mall.
Knowing what kind of person Wang Duli was, Tang Mo, who just had a carelessly playful expression, suddenly became serious and respectful, "Certainly, Elder Wang, please follow me."
The Emperor building had a total of 28 floors, with each room occupying one floor.
The room Xiong Kang had Tang Mo arrange was on the 19th floor, perfectly at eye level to gaze across at Yangming Mall through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Standing with hands behind his back in front of the window, Wang Duli gazed at Yangming Mall and frowned slightly, inhaling sharply.
"Elder Wang, is there a problem with this room? I can switch it immediately."
Hearing Wang Duli inhaling, and thinking he was dissatisfied, Tang Mo quickly spoke.
"No, does the Emperor have a telescope?"
Frowning, Wang Duli squinted his eyes, "Such a busy mall and yet, looking at it, there’s not a hint of vitality. Something must be wrong."
Knowing what Wang Duli intended to do, Tang Mo responded and then ran out of the 19th floor, heading toward his office.
