37: Chapter 37 Testing Ability 37: Chapter 37 Testing Ability “I won’t accept.”
Before Zeng Haoyang could even mention the task, Lu Zixun straightforwardly refused.
Xiaoxiao, standing nearby, couldn’t help but snicker.
Apart from the Long Family’s young princess, it was her first time seeing someone daring to refuse her grandfather.
“I haven’t even officially started, and you’re already giving me tasks?”
Placing his paw on his chin, Lu Zixun yawned: “Cats are also creatures; you can’t exploit them.”
Fighting the urge to strangle Lu Zixun, Zeng Haoyang turned his back, not wanting to look at him: “If you don’t do this task, I’ll have them not save Lin Qiang.”
how can you threaten people ?”
Lu Zixun, who clearly lost some of his bravado, felt somewhat aggrieved: “Isn’t it okay if I accept?”
Zeng Haoyang, with his back to Lu Zixun, smiled slightly when he heard the compromise.
At that moment, Zeng Haoyang resembled an old fox.
Seeing Lu Zixun deflate instantly, Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but say: “Actually, no matter what, Grandpa would still save that person, since he isn’t infected by an Abnormal Biological Parasite.”
Hearing this, Lu Zixun stood up indignantly and glared at Zeng Haoyang.
This man was truly bad, not only threatening a cat, but also deceiving himself.
Turning with a smile and looking at Lu Zixun, Zeng Haoyang spoke: “You don’t have to be , just consider this task as you paying for Lin Qiang’s medical expenses, after all, these medical fees are quite a hefty expense.”
Thinking it seemed reasonable, Lu Zixun unknowingly got swindled by Zeng Haoyang.
“Everyone has their own name, but since you are a cat…”
Zeng Haoyang sized up Lu Zixun: “How about we call you Orange Cat?”
Lu Zixun, facing Zeng Haoyang’s naming ability, was utterly speechless.
Just as he was about to announce his own name, Lu Zixun didn’t.
To Lu Zixun, it sounded like a human name.
No normal person would name their cat with a human’s name, right?
At least Lu Zixun had never encountered such a case.
Seeing that Lu Zixun didn’t speak, Zeng Haoyang assumed he agreed to the name.
He pressed a button on the desk, calling over a researcher.
Lu Zixun’s electronic device was ready, a small silver tag that hung around his neck like a pet tag.
But behind the silver tag, green numbers were flashing.
It could detect the Abnormal Creatures encountered and also prevent being mistakenly attacked by other personnel of the Abnormal Creature Control Bureau.
After Xiaoxiao put the silver tag on Lu Zixun, he officially joined the Abnormal Creature Control Bureau.
And Zeng Haoyang announced Lu Zixun’s next task.
That was to go to the Long Family and protect their young princess, Long Ya.
Sitting in the office chair, Zeng Haoyang, watching Lu Zixun drinking milk, asked: “Earlier, outside the airport, you crushed a Blood Worm, right?”
“Yes, what about it?”
Licking the milk off his lips, Lu Zixun nodded.
“If you hadn’t crushed that Blood Worm, I wouldn’t have noticed.”
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Zeng Haoyang said coldly: “It seems that a Blood Worm Queen has infiltrated Chunhua City.”
Hearing this name, Lu Zixun looked up at Zeng Haoyang; he had heard this name in the system’s alert tones.
Seeing Lu Zixun’s curious gaze, Zeng Haoyang explained: “The Blood Worm Queen is similar to a Blood Worm, but smarter and better at hiding its appetite.”
“Abnormal Creatures need to eat too?”
After answering Lu Zixun’s question, Zeng Haoyang sighed, “It’s just that their food is human, that’s all.”
The food these abnormal creatures eat was pretty much what Lu Zixun had imagined.
Lu Zixun was silent for a while, then slowly asked, “Do they eat cats?”
“Ding—anger value detected from Zeng Haoyang +1000.”
An innocent-faced Lu Zixun was kicked out of the office by a very annoyed Zeng Haoyang.
Xiaoxiao, who had just walked over and seen this, started laughing again.
“This old man is too petty.
It’s just that I ask a lot of questions.”
Looking at Xiaoxiao, Lu Zixun, waving his paws, had a somewhat indignant expression on his face.
“Ding—love value detected from Zeng Xiaoxiao +100.”
“My grandfather usually has a very good temper.
Only you could anger him .”
Listening to Lu Zixun’s complaints, Zeng Xiaoxiao chuckled.
Looking up at her sister’s bright chin, Lu Zixun asked, “That old man is your grandfather?”
“Yes, can’t you tell?”
As she played with Lu Zixun’s paws, Xiaoxiao asked with a smile in her eyes.
“I really couldn’t tell…”
His whiskers twitched twice; Lu Zixun truly hadn’t realized how such a beautiful granddaughter could belong to that old man.
Bending down, she picked up Lu Zixun.
As Xiaoxiao walked toward the elevator, she said, “We need to test your abilities now to see whether you’ll need a shot of the Genetic Optimization Reagent.”
Cuddling in Zeng Xiaoxiao’s arms, Lu Zixun looked up at her when he heard ‘Genetic Optimization Reagent’: “What is this reagent?”
After composing her thoughts, Zeng Xiaoxiao began, “This is a reagent developed a year after abnormal creatures were discovered.
It can improve human genes, activating some unknown abilities.
The specific abilities vary from person to person.”
“I probably don’t need it.”
Considering his superpower, Lu Zixun said earnestly.
“Hehe, it’s not up to you.
We have to see what your abilities are first.”
The elevator reached the third basement level, and Zeng Xiaoxiao carried Lu Zixun inside.
As they approached the console, the staff member there smiled and nodded at Zeng Xiaoxiao.
“Ding—disgust value detected from Long Xuan +500.”
Confused by the sudden disgust value, Lu Zixun paused.
Looking around, he noticed it was just that staff member and couldn’t help but give him a disdainful glance.
Seeing Long Xuan staring at him, Lu Zixun’s eyes wandered, and he rubbed his head against Xiaoxiao’s chest.
“Meow meow,” he called out twice, his face breaking into a happy smile.
“Ding—disgust value detected from Long Xuan +500.”
Amused inside, Lu Zixun was about to use this man to boost his feeling values when Xiaoxiao set him down on the ground.
“Brother Long Xuan, please test the Orange Cat’s abilities.”
A somewhat aloof Long Xuan responded briefly, operating the console.
Zeng Xiaoxiao raised her hand, pointing to a space enclosed by transparent glass.
She said to Lu Zixun, “Go in quickly, we’re going to test your abilities now.”
Half-understanding, Lu Zixun followed Zeng Xiaoxiao’s gesture and walked in.
The moment he entered, the glass closed into an enclosed space.
At the same time, Lu Zixun saw the malicious smile hanging on Long Xuan’s lips.
