Chapter 954: Wonderful Beyond Words! What the Heck Is That Scoring Mechanism?

Agreement reached.

Cai Xu's face flushed bright red, his gaze constantly flicking toward Li Sanjiang's house.

His legs kept shaking up and down.

There was no desire to achieve any goal in his eyes, only the impulse to take the money.

Su Yang noticed his small gestures, a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Give me your contact number; I'll call you in two days."

Two days?!

Cai Xu was stunned, a bit embarrassed, and said, "Two days is too short; I still have to negotiate with the friends over there."

"Moreover, this thing is tightly regulated; the injector must undergo a background check."

"Not only that, those people also have to verify their assets."

So troublesome!?

Su Yang's eyes were full of surprise; he had thought it was the same kind of thing as buying Cigarettes.

He didn't expect there would be so many procedures.

Verifying assets is understandable, after all the follow‑up still relies on Cigarettes for sustenance.

But what's this background check ghost?

Do they also have to prove a clean lineage?

Thinking of that, Su Yang became even more convinced there was something odd about this.

He then slightly lifted his eyelids and said, "You missed a point; before injection, various examinations are also required."

Cai Xu nodded repeatedly, "Right, right, right, how do you know?"

Heh…

Su Yang sneered inwardly; he considered himself aware of what these people were up to behind the scenes.

Artificially creating Gene Modification soldiers.

Controlling them with Cigarettes.

On the surface it's about extracting wealth, but behind it must lie a larger, unsavory business.

"Just guessed," Su Yang entered his number into the Emperor Wristband and said, "Contact in two days."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Cai Xu was momentarily stunned, then asked, "Boss, what's your name? How should I address you?"

Su Yang halted his steps, turned his head back and replied, "Demon."

Huh?

Cai Xu blinked, and in that brief moment the figure vanished without a trace.

He scratched his head, his mind clouded.

"Demon? Is that his surname?"

In his view, the other party had a somewhat pretentious streak.

Using a seemingly intimidating label to elevate status, giving the impression he's formidable.

But to be fair, Demon's strength truly is impressive.

That Super Invincible Iron Head Skill move remains vivid to this day.

A simple stomp can launch him dozens of meters into the air.

He can even raise a hand to block a Werewolf's full‑force strike.

Know that the three‑meter‑tall beast could, with a light swipe, topple a solid reinforced concrete wall.

Although it's aged and no longer as sturdy as before, the Rebar inside is solid.

If Demon hadn't acted, his head would already have been separated from his body.

Whether out of gratitude or a transaction, it doesn't matter.

Relying solely on the other's impressive skill, plus the Emperor Wristband on his hand.

Cai Xu had no reason not to befriend him.

He has wanted to get out of the Lower City District for a long time.

Saving so much money, taking this risky line of work is also to give his family a better life.

But a leap in status is never that simple.

Demon's appearance might be an excellent springboard.

Cai Xu must seize it!

"Rejuvenation Needle..."

He couldn't help sighing, shaking his head to discard the thought clouding his mind.

He fixed his gaze on Li Sanjiang's room.

His mouth curled behind his ear, his eyes flashing.

He immediately let out a "Heh heh heh" laugh and charged in.

When he saw the dilapidated furniture and mostly peeled wall plaster, he was suddenly stunned.

"This..."

Demon lives in such a trashy house?

He turned his head and saw a portrait of a beauty.

Cai Xu looked a couple more times, realized he didn't recognize it, and his eyes grew suspicious as he walked toward the room.

When he stepped through the door and saw scattered banknotes on the floor, his gaze instantly underwent a dramatic change.

"Hoo—"

Heavy breathing echoed all around.

Cai Xu trembled as he picked up a sheet placed under the light and examined it.

He, who deals with money all day, can authenticate authenticity with just a touch.

But having never at once seen money so clean, so new, and so abundant, he for the first time entertained the thought of sharing a bed with it.

Sss!

Cai Xu experienced a top‑tier lung rush, savoring the ink scent on the fresh money, his face awash with rapture.

"The most beautiful thing in the world is none other than this."

Lying amid the piles of cash, Cai Xu crossed his legs and closed his eyes to rest.

In his mind he plotted how to spend this sum.

"Open a Top-tier Member 8888, buy a Rejuvenation Needle at half price, then spend another 250,000."

"The arrangements will cost a few ten‑thousands, plus meals and drinks."

"It should leave about 600,000 left."

"This money is perfect for buying my wife a set of Emperor brand cosmetics; she's wanted them for a long time."

"Also buy a set of doll toys for Da Ya and Er Ya, and then pay the tuition!"

"Dad's legs aren't great, his knees have fluid buildup; this time I have to cure him."

"Mom's worked hard all these years; give her a Gold Bracelet!"

Cai Xu hummed a little tune, feeling his life full of hope.

A while ago he noticed his left eyelid kept twitching.

He didn't expect it to be waiting here.

Cai Xu opened his eyes, checked the time, and his complexion changed dramatically.

"Damn, I promised my wife I'd be home before eleven tonight!"

He dared not delay, immediately fetched a large box and hurriedly stuffed all the money into it.

Carrying the wooden box as well, he ran toward the subway station.

"It's over, it's over, this is completely over!"

"Wife, wait for me!"

…

Central City District "Tenglong" residential area.

Su Yang returned home, took a shower first, put on the pajamas that were in his room, and sat down in the living room.

He then pressed the Hand Ring, and a Projection appeared.

"Demon's first mission scoring: lower‑mid."

"Evaluation as follows—"

"The killing of the criminal was not decisive enough; despite the disparity in strength, too much time was wasted."

"Afterwards the Enforcer discovered it, even surrounded us."

"Demon has strong combat awareness but extremely poor risk awareness."

"The personality is arrogant and reckless, requiring a session of ideological education."

?

Su Yang looked at these words and felt absurdity.

"What? It's still lower‑mid?"

First time carrying out a mission, first time facing this Shapeshifted gene‑modification warrior.

One should always be cautious, right?

Moreover, Su Yang does not know his true identity.

What if Li Sanjiang is a player?

Sneaking to use an innate talent, isn't that a disaster waiting in the shadows?

Furthermore, being targeted by the Enforcer is beyond his comprehension.

He suspects there is a mole within the team.

Otherwise, how could the tracking be so precise?

"What is this Broken Scoring System?" Su Yang muttered sarcastically.

If he says that, Su Yang would have to disregard everything and storm into Li Sanjiang's room and kill him outright.

Without knowing the opponent's true strength or whether it's a trap.

That is a reckless act.

If one really does that, it would be a sign of a lousy rating.

At this point, Su Yang seriously suspects the other party has activated the Heavenly Eye.

"How does he know Li Sanjiang's strength is weaker than mine?"

Could it be because a single punch destroyed the Strength Testing Device?

Su Yang felt deep puzzlement over this.

The various actions of the Emperor Company left him very perplexed.

The next moment, another message came from the Hand Ring—

"Please have Demon arrive promptly at 8 a. m. tomorrow to the 70th‑floor conference room of the Emperor Building."
