Chapter 275

Inside the Hongshang Building, Hongshang Guangsheng wore a black suit, and beside him Gotou and the female secretary were also listening attentively.

Dr. Zhenmu currently lacks enough cell coins for experiments, Gotou, you and the Hauling Sales Number convoy will escort along the way.

Just as he finished speaking, the office floor suddenly cracked open a neat square hole, and through the transparent glass plate one could see the cell coins spread between the layers.

"The experiment requires five thousand." Hongshang Guangsheng said, looking at the cell coins under his feet.

"Five thousand, that many?"

Gotou suddenly thought of something and asked: "Could it be for that new equipment that uses cell coins, already completed?"

"Gotou, this is a very good opportunity; you should try to curry favor with Dr. Zhenmu, perhaps."

Hongshang Guangsheng didn't finish speaking, but Gotou understood the president's meaning.

If he performs well this time, he might become the personnel assigned to wear that new equipment.

Rumor has it the new equipment possesses power not inferior to Ozu's, enough to deal with future Greed and yummy.

The female secretary straightened her body, took out a pink box for a ring from her personal bag, opened it and asked: "President, Dr. Zhenmu also made a request, saying to send this red core coin together."

"Okay."

Hongshang Guangsheng abruptly raised his voice several notches.

"In desire and research, one should not be stingy with coins."

At this time, Anku, who had been eavesdropping using eagle cans and locust cans, also swiftly recalled them.

Having this information is already enough for him to act.

Suddenly, the locust can placed on the wooden office desk sprang up automatically.

Only a voice from Jiang Xia could be heard coming from inside:

"President Hongshang, I also have an experiment here: double the cell coins being sent to Dr. Zhenmu; five thousand cell coins is too little."

"Great!"

Hongshang Guangsheng said excitedly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Then we will transport ten thousand cell coins to Dr. Zhenmu, and then add this red core coin." Hongshang Guangsheng said, looking at Gotou.

Hongshang Guangsheng agreed almost without hesitation.

Regarding Dr. Zhenmu's request to transport the coins, he needed a reason to satisfy his desire.

But Jiang Xia's very existence is already his lifelong pursuit of desire, and moreover they are collaborators.

Mere cell coins are nothing major.

"Ten thousand,"

Gotou felt his pressure increase somewhat upon hearing that number.

Ten thousand equals the total consumption of the entire Hauling Sales Number convoy for two months; five thousand is already enough to test the new equipment.

Jiang Xia merely said a sentence, and his pressure doubled.

If he loses the cell coins this time, it's no longer a question of whether he's qualified to use the new equipment, but rather he might be fired by Hongshang Guangsheng.

This is also a case of a higher-ranking official crushing someone with just a word—above says something, below runs until his legs break.

"Hey, Yingsi, where the hell did you go, you bastard!"

Anku looked at this chaotic mob and shouted loudly.

Today's guests here are all wearing strange costumes.

Anku simply cannot understand modern humans: why wear horned headbands on their heads, and some even wear pointy braces in their mouths.

"Are they very ferocious?"

If you look closely, this isn't a Christmas costume; it's more like a Halloween masquerade.

Actually, the sign at the entrance writes that half of it is the traditional Santa Claus picture here, while the other half is a little demon pattern drawn in red ink.

Today is a fusion of Christmas and Halloween themes.

So Anku only sees these guests with bizarre costumes when he steps outside.

Just as Anku was searching everywhere for Huo Ye Yingsi, a somewhat overweight person wearing a red cotton hat on his head, his face covered by a big white fluffy beard, lightly tapped Anku's head.

"Yingsi?" Anku asked the Santa Claus before him, puzzled.

"Anku, hehe."

Huo Ye Yingsi looked at Anku's clueless face and broke into a smile.

Even Anku couldn't recognize him like this, which made him somewhat excited.

"What a stupid outfit you're wearing."

Anku observed carefully, realized the face hidden under the white big beard was indeed Huo Ye Yingsi, then yanked off the beard stuck to his face. "This is Miss Chise's request to have us stay here, letting me play Santa Claus; I feel playing Santa Claus is quite good." Huo Ye Yingsi laughed.

"Hmph, that woman, I'll eventually eat her."

"Ah! Does Mr. Hongshang have your core coin?"

Huo Ye Yingsi, having taken off the Santa costume, looked at Anku in surprise.

"That's right, I've long suspected he has our lost core coin in his hand; this time I merely happened to discover it."

"Anku said solemnly: 'Through the equipment supported by Hongshang, I personally saw it; that is my lost core coin, no mistake.'"

"But your core coin belongs to the avian system, doesn't it? Doesn't Mr. Jiang Xia also have your core coin in his hand? Last time he even transformed into the avian coalition."

Huo Ye Yingsi looked at Anku and asked.

"No," Anku paused, then spoke slowly:

"That's different; the core coin Jiang Xia possesses is not mine."

"Although both are avian, the power they contain is completely different."

"I tried to absorb that core coin into my body, but it was rejected; this rejection is the same as when I transformed into Ozu using the core coin he sent."

"When you first transformed using the core coin he gave, I clearly saw the locust core coin being forcibly ejected by that special peacock core; I suspect this relates to his Alchemical Art."

Huo Ye Yingsi spoke, as if half-understanding.

"That is to say, although Jiang Xia's Core Coin looks the same as yours, it's only outwardly similar."

"And this time, the Core Coin you possessed 800 years ago is in the hands of the President of the Hongshang Association."

"Huh, this is mine; I will definitely take it back." Anku said.

"Coincidentally, they want to transport the coins by vehicle, so I'll go hijack the vehicle."

"Hijack the vehicle?"

"Huh, they've hidden my Core Coin for so long; it's impossible they'll just hand it over to me." Anku said.

"You also come with me."

"Why should I come along?" Huo Ye Yingsi asked.

"Because the Gotou Association will escort along the way, I need Oz's power to deal with him."

"With this human body, it's impossible to go up against the well-equipped Beast Tamer Merchant Squad."

"For this transport, the Gotou Association has gone all out; all members of the Beast Tamer squads will be present, responsible for guarding the vehicles transporting the coins along the way."

"It's not just the coins inside; there's also his future at stake."

"I won't do it; it's just like robbery."

"Then if I go hijack the vehicle myself, I won't be responsible for these humans' safety; are you sure you want to defy my orders?" Anku said.

"You can try; anyway, lacking Oz's power will be troublesome."

"Huo Ye Yingsi couldn't care less about Anku's threat, and even turned the threat back on him."

"I advise you to go; we're also quite interested in Anku's Core Coin."

"You're right, aren't you, Anku?"

"A youth wearing a hat on his head, with yellow long hair, was skateboarding and suddenly appeared before them."

"Are you Kazhali?" Anku asked upon hearing that familiar tone.

"After being tricked by Wu Fan last time, he paid close attention to Greed, who had been resurrected alongside him, recognizing him by habit and tone rather than appearance."

"Oh, for this coin transport, there are as many as ten thousand cell coins inside; we won't let this opportunity pass."

"If you don't come, you'll see a scene of blood flowing like rivers." Kazhali shrugged and said.

"Kazhali, this is a trap, right?"

"Although it was a rhetorical question, Anku was unusually certain."

"Can you accept your Core Coin ending up in our hands?" Kazhali said.

"Anyway, you will definitely go."

"Oz, if you don't go, everyone acting together will die."

"Kazhali smiled at Huo Ye Yingsi."

"As if saying something trivial."
