Chapter 265: Accommodation

Hòuténg was stunned for a moment, then straightened his body, opened the car door with his hand, and stood respectfully to the side.

He was like a very professional driver, now welcoming his own boss.

Jiang Xia's current position is equivalent to a director of the Hongshang Foundation, and of course he has the authority to dispatch Hòuténg, the captain specially assigned to counter the Greed team.

Although he was unwilling, for the sake of world peace, Hòuténg still accepted these conditions.

After all, he resigned from the police to protect the world, so he chose to join the Hongshang Foundation.

Jiang Xia threw Méizī'ěr, who was on his shoulder, into the back seat, then adjusted her posture with his hand so she sat steadily.

Méizī'ěr merely grew weak; she was not dead yet.

If one really does not take into account the number of cellular coins in her body, she could still put up a slight resistance.

However, in front of Jiang Xia, Méizī'ěr's feeble resistance is rather laughable, just like a real little girl.

He sat in the seat next to Méizī'ěr and fastened his seatbelt.

He constantly waved the core coin he had just snatched from her body in front of her.

"Anku, what exactly do you want me to do? Don't beat around the bush!"

Méizī'ěr, seeing the orca and octopus core coins constantly jumping before her, practically had the heart to kill Anku.

If she weren't unable to beat him, she would have long since broken her bonds and threw Anku into the water.

Méizī'ěr also regarded the seatbelt fastened on her body as Anku's restraint on her.

So saying, lacking culture can sometimes be quite frightening.

As long as you cooperate with me on some tests, I'll return the core coin to you.

Jiang Xia leaned lightly on the soft seat, constantly weighing the aquatic core coin in his hand.

At this moment, light rain began to fall outside the window; it was already late at night, and the pattering raindrops struck the car window.

The puddles on the tree-lined road were kicked up into a sky-full of water droplets by the roaring vehicles passing over them.

The outside temperature was also dropping rapidly; outside the car was cold rain, while inside the car was warm and cozy.

The soft lights gradually brightened, illuminating Méizī'ěr's somewhat pale face brightly.

"Okay, I promise you."

Méizī'ěr stared at the core coin that originally belonged to her, and nodded in cooperation.

Their conversation was also overheard by Hòuténg, who was acting as the driver.

After joining the Hongshang Foundation, he had already figured out the origin of these monsters, but he never expected that this girl who looked like a student was actually Greed.

Jiang Xia actually went so far as to negotiate cooperation with Greed.

However, he had seen this kind of operation before from the chairman; that Greed called Anku was likewise an object of exploitation.

He also roughly guessed that Jiang Xia likewise wanted to exploit Greed.

He just didn't know what Jiang Xia's specific plan was.

"We've arrived; next time if something like this happens, please be sure to let me know."

After Hòuténg stopped the vehicle, he turned his head and spoke to Jiang Xia.

Before getting out of the car, Hòuténg's gaze lingered on Méizī'ěr for a moment.

He then opened the car door, unfolded a black umbrella, and handed it to Jiang Xia.

This was all for the sake of world peace.

"Well done; I'll tell you for free: the coin system has already developed equipment that can work on the human body."

"This can also be considered compensation for you coming to pick me up so late today."

Jiang Xia took the umbrella from Hòuténg, glanced at Hòuténg's wet cuff, and said.

As he spoke, Méizī'ěr also got out of the car by holding the door, she glanced at Hòuténg, who looked pleased, tilted her head, indicating she didn't understand.

She then obediently followed beside Jiang Xia, and they went upstairs together.

This room was automatically assigned to Jiang Xia when he came over through the dimensional wall.

Fortunately, this is somewhat reliable; it's not a cheap rental, but a relatively well-decorated apartment.

"Clean the clothes you're wearing; be careful not to let the rainwater dirty the floor."

Jiang Xia frowned at Méizī'ěr, whose body was wet; after speaking, he diverted part of his attention to the Eden-like island within him.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of cellular coins engraved with dragon reliefs appeared in Jiang Xia's hand.

Strictly speaking, these cellular coins are not quite the same as those Greed produces by other methods.

These cellular coins are stained with the power of Eden when it was born within Jiang Xia's body.

He was curious about what special effect these cellular coins have on Greed.

Precisely because he doesn't understand how the materialization of Eden greatly extends life, he now needs a test subject.

As a Greed lacking even the five senses, and not even considered a living being, could it possibly be used for an experiment? After producing the cellular coins, he looked at Méizī'ěr, who had changed into a different outfit.

Since even her clothes are simulated by cellular coins, changing them is very convenient.

Jiang Xia handed the cellular coins to Méizī'ěr, saying: "If you absorb these coins, I will consider returning the core coin to you."

If you change your mind now, I can only turn you into my collectible.

"Do I still have the option to disagree?"

Méizī'ěr took the cellular coins from Jiang Xia and absorbed them all in one breath.

After receiving the cellular coin supplement, Méizī'ěr's complexion improved considerably.

Her previously weak body now also had some strength.

"So then? I've done as you said; when will you return the core coin to me?"

After the absorption was complete, Méizī'ěr directly asked.

"Now."

Besides, it should still need a bit of time before it takes effect.

In Jiang Xia's eyes, the core coins stained with his power were continuously emitting light inside Meizel's body and gradually permeating his whole body.

But it is completely different from the legendary beast infection; it seems merely a consumable, just like the nature of cell coins.

You really want to give it back to me?

Meizel looked in astonishment at Jiang Xia, who had already picked up the Core Coin, seeming somewhat incredulous.

Jiang Xia raised his hand and tossed a killer whale and octopus core coin to Meizel.

At this moment, Meizel transformed into a monster form after receiving two core coins as a supplement.

A whirl of coins swirled, covering the legs originally wrapped in bandages and transforming them into a pair of leather boots.

Finally free from that weak state.

Meizel moved his body a bit and said to Jiang Xia: 'Anku, let's cooperate; let's seize the Jiameer core coin from Kazhali and Wu Fan's hands.'

She still remembered being abandoned by those two; now whoever has the greater strength commands obedience.

Don't rush; my test isn't over yet, it's just beginning.

Jiang Xia then took out two more core coins, preparing to toss them to Meizel.

At this moment, Meizel looked at Jiang Xia with slight doubt, because what he took out was a Jiameer core coin.

And the other one is a bird-system core coin after evolution.

Jiang Xia said nothing more and directly tossed the core coin to Meizel.

In Meizel's eyes full of refusal, the core coin merged into her body.

As for why she showed an attitude of refusal, it's because in the different types of Greed, core coins cannot be compatible.

Once different cores are absorbed to a certain extent, one can no longer maintain one's consciousness.

One will fall into an endless frenzy.

But Jiang Xia was obviously not aiming for a frenzy.

Originally just slowly permeating Meizel's body, the aura suddenly seemed to have received some supplement, beginning to expand rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it had already linked all the core coins inside Meizel's body.

Upon receiving a huge impact, Meizel's body instantly reverted to human form, her eyes closed, and she fainted.
