~7 min read 1,248 words

"Selling buns~"

"Special offer Cigarette, fifty yuan each~"

At the street corner, a person clutching a Wooden Box hawked around.

The voice wasn't loud, yet it could clearly reach every passerby's ears.

Enforcer passed by his side, skillfully slipped money into his pocket, and took a Cigarette.

"Keep a low profile lately."

"Understood!"

When the Enforcer left, he continued hawking.

Soon, a hunched Silhouette staggered over.

With years of selling experience, Cai Xu saw through the other's intent at a glance.

So he preemptively took out a single-packaged Cigarette and gestured, "One?"

"How much?" Li Sanjiang asked, head lowered.

"Fifty."

"That pricey?"

"Is that still pricey?"

Cai Xu, as if hearing a huge joke, said righteously, "You can ask anywhere else, can you get this quality Cigarette for a hundred?"

"That's already a broken‑bone price."

"If not for last night's incident hurting sales, it would be at least two hundred."

"Do you want it or not?"

Li Sanjiang hadn't lost all reason yet; the remaining thought told him this deal couldn't be done.

He worked at a nearby transport station, rising early and returning late, laboring all day to earn only one hundred fifty.

Usually he ate boxed meals from nearby small workshops.

A connoisseur of good wine, he bought a bottle only once a week.

One bottle lasts a week.

Now a single Cigarette costs fifty directly.

Undoubtedly it shattered his consumption view.

"Buy if you want, leave if you don't, don't linger here blocking my business," Cai Xu adopted a lofty tone.

Li Sanjiang suddenly twitched twice, hurriedly pulled a fifty‑yuan note from his pocket.

"One!"

"Alright!"

Cai Xu immediately beamed, handing money with one hand and the goods with the other.

Li Sanjiang Fire urgent Fire blazing tore open the package, took out the Cigarette trembling and shoved it into his Mouth.

"Fire!"

Cai Xu glanced puzzled, asked nothing more, and handed out the lighter from his pocket.

Li Sanjiang lit the Cigarette, took a strong draw.

"Cough cough~!"

The strong smoke choked him into constant coughing, his Throat felt as if blocked by an iron burr, nearly unable to breathe.

"How's that, strong enough?" Cai Xu boasted, raising his Eyebrow.

After the throat irritation came a floating, blissful feeling.

It shot straight to the Brain, the whole person feeling dizzy, not knowing what night this is.

This condition didn't last long; the intensity suddenly vanished.

Li Sanjiang, to again seek that irresistible taste, immediately took a hard draw.

"Hoo!"

This time, though still harsh, he had become somewhat accustomed.

Cai Xu, seeing the customer bite, patted the Wooden Box and said, "I don't often sell here; if you want later, you can call me."

"Guarantee direct supply, no middlemen profit on the margin."

"And the quality will only be more top‑tier than today's."

"Will make you thrilled and soaring!"

Li Sanjiang was fully immersed in his comfortable self‑world, ignoring everything.

"Really that thrilling?"

Just as Cai Xu slipped the note into Li Sanjiang's trouser pocket, a voice sounded beside his ear.

Turning his head, he saw a man in a white shirt and dress pants walking over.

"Yo, another fresh face, you want one too?" Cai Xu, seeing this distinguished man, immediately lit up his eyes.

Upon close inspection, he found the man's shirt and pants, both in material and craftsmanship, were top‑tier.

The price of even a single piece could buy out all the goods in the Wooden Box.

Cai Xu realized he had met a big customer, his eyes full of excitement.

He couldn't help but think—did luck strike tonight?

Su Yang glanced at Li Sanjiang's crooked stance, smiled and nodded, "Alright."

Cai Xu stretched out five Fingers, grinned, "Fifty."

He patted his pocket, Su Yang lamented, "Forgot to bring cash, can we pay by scan?"

He said, flashing his Hand Ring.

Seeing the object, Cai Xu's eyes widened, "Emperor Wristband?!"

He became even more excited.

This is no big client.

He's a living, breathing God of Wealth!

"Of course it can!"

Cai Xu hurriedly took a Machine out of the Wooden Box.

The Hand Ring touched it, and a beep signaled the payment completed.

Su Yang glanced at the eight‑digit balance and casually took the Cigarette.

"Do you have Fire?"

"Yes!"

Cai Xu smiled flippantly and used both hands to light Su Yang.

After lighting it, Su Yang did not inhale; instead, he fanned a breeze and sniffed the burning tobacco scent.

Cai Xu saw his hesitation and said, "Rest assured, my goods are genuine."

Then he peeked out, scanned the surroundings, and after confirming no one was there, whispered, "Enforcers often buy from me."

"So, your network is extensive?" Su Yang asked with a laugh.

"Naturally, the boss isn't a Lower City District local, right?" Cai Xu asked.

"Otherwise?"

"Hey, a person from Upper City District like you is rarely seen; has something big happened lately?"

Su Yang's eyes flickered as he spoke slowly, "Recently someone stole items from our Company and sold them to Lower City District residents; I was dispatched to investigate."

"What items?" Cai Xu asked, full of curiosity.

"It's not really a secret; telling you won't hurt."

Su Yang leaned mysteriously between the two, whispering, "A potion that can turn people into beasts!"

"Huh?!" Cai Xu was shocked on the spot.

Li Sanjiang, who had been enjoying himself nearby, froze, his expression slightly unnatural.

Cai Xu recalled the news he had just seen and exclaimed, "So last night's…"

"Yes!" Su Yang cut in, "Beasts usually cannot control their Desire and act purely on instinct."

Cai Xu had thought the news was merely sensationalized for clicks.

He didn't expect it to be real!

The scavenger who died last night was found in the junkyard not far behind.

Doesn't that indicate…

Thinking of that, Cai Xu felt a chill run down his spine.

His expression stiffened as he said, "There are so many Enforcers nearby; nothing will happen."

Su Yang watched the Cigarette burn out, tossed it on the ground and stamped it out, "That's uncertain; a Fierce Beast might not fear Bullets."

"Then what do we do?" Cai Xu suddenly felt an urge to flee.

If a Fierce Beast appears again, wouldn't he have nowhere to run?

"I was worried about that at first, but now it seems your goods can suppress Beastly Desire; world peace owes you a share of credit," Su Yang said with a smile.

At that, Cai Xu pulled the box back, his face grim, and said, "Boss, stop joking; I'm just doing a small‑scale business."

Su Yang shook his head and laughed, "Fierce Beasts are also humans transformed; if one side's Desire defeats the other's, peace naturally follows."

This…

Cai Xu was puzzled, "Boss, what exactly are you saying?"

Su Yang looked at Li Sanjiang, who was still holding a Cigarette, and said, "Li Xian Sheng, I'm not wrong, right?"

What thing, and what does it have to do with him?

He's just a stinky mover.

He understands…

In the next instant, Li Sanjiang's body suddenly convulsed.

His spine throbbed, and his Muscle expanded!

His face sprouted long hair, and his Mouth became long and pointed.

His stature kept growing, and the Black Shadow before his eyes grew larger.

Bang!

The Wooden Box fell directly onto the ground.

Cai Xu stood dumb as a wooden chicken, his Pupil went blank.

Su Yang slipped both hands into his pockets, turned around, and said with a laugh, "Look…"

"Isn't that Fierce Beast manifesting now?"
