Chapter 980: Stubbornness Becomes a Double Jam! Men Go Weak in the Knees, Women Get Greedy!

……

Hello?

It's me, Xiao Cai!

Right, right, we've met before.

Geez, the world's been tough lately, even cigarettes are hard to sell.

What? Haha, yeah, yeah, I can't match those big dog accounts.

Can't help it, others have big enterprises, I'm just a small operation, no competitiveness…

I heard—you have a channel for the Rejuvenation Needle?

On a windowsill of a Luoshui Street residence, Cai Xu held his phone and talked with an agent.

A few minutes later, the call dropped.

Cai Xu furrowed his brow, his face showing difficulty.

He looked at the night sky's moonlight, murmuring, "Business is a damn pain, you just want to open wide like a lion!"

The Rejuvenation Needle's popularity exceeded expectations.

According to Cai Xu's intelligence, this thing is ultimately only available to a few.

After all, the capital verification alone blocks ninety percent of people.

But unexpectedly, Huichun Pavilion changed the rules yesterday.

No capital verification needed; just good credit.

That instantly ignited the whole market.

Countless people came by name, either out of curiosity or to get a share.

Among them, the agent who just talked with Cai Xu is the cousin of a minor leader at Huichun Pavilion.

He leveraged family ties to obtain distribution rights.

Each month there are five Rejuvenation Needles; how they're sold is entirely up to him.

Precisely because of that, the agent hiked prices wildly given the huge market demand.

The other side isn't worried about unsold stock.

Demand exceeds supply, and with low entry requirements, they quickly amassed many potential customers.

At the same time, he also hooked up with a bank manager; if someone lacks funds, he can directly guide them to offline channels.

He can easily handle loan matters.

Thus, those five Rejuvenation Needles became scorching hot.

Originally, a top-tier member could get them for 250,000.

Now they're being pushed up to 700,000–800,000 each.

With that, how can Cai Xu manage it?

He only has 1,000,000 on hand, just bought something good for his family.

He also paid off previous debts, leaving just over 800,000 now.

Sigh…

He let out a long sigh, a look of helplessness appearing in his eyes.

He had previously sworn he could guarantee it.

Now he finds he dug a pit for himself to fall into.

One million is totally insufficient.

It's far off!

"Damn it, if I'd known I shouldn't have agreed," Cai Xu sighed again.

The thought of absconding with the money flashed in his brain, but he immediately dismissed it.

The Emperor Company possesses Heavenly Hand-Eye, and that individual is also formidable.

Even if he ran, he couldn't settle everyone at home in such a short time.

"What am I to do?"

Stubbornness turns into a double blockage.

Hard work with no reward.

Cai Xu suddenly felt depressed, turned around, opened the fridge and took out a can of beer.

Sss—

Thud thud thud…

Suddenly, a silhouette slipped into view.

Cai Xu's peripheral vision caught sight, instinctively reaching for a knife from behind.

"Cai, it's so late and you're still not sleeping?"

When he looked closely, he found it was his mother, up at midnight to pee.

Cai Xu immediately sheathed the knife, crushed the can and tossed it into the trash, then carefully helped his mother, saying:

"Mom, a friend just called, asked me to handle something for him."

"Which friend?"

"Just the childhood neighbor A Hua, you remember, he often came to our house for meals at noon and night."

"Oh, it's A Hua, is he still healthy?"

"He's fine, come, I'll help you inside."

After the bathroom door closed, Cai Xu went to the kitchen and washed his face.

He couldn't help but wear a bitter look, his eyes filled with conflict.

"Shall we give the Demon a call?"

What if the call makes the other party thunderously angry and demand the one million back—what then?

But if we don't call…

Cai Xu also wasn't very confident he could complete the Task.

Just as he was agonizing over it, the phone suddenly rang.

"Ring—ring—"

The sudden ringing startled him.

He fled out and saw it was an unknown call.

His gaze flickered for a moment, then he pressed to answer.

"Who is this?"

"It's me, Demon."

"Huh?!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Cai Xu's eyelids jerked.

He glanced toward the bathroom, then immediately ran out of the house into the yard.

"Brother, what orders?"

Cai Xu was extremely nervous, pondering that they had clearly agreed to contact two days later.

Now, just a day had passed and the call came.

Could it be asking for progress?

That would make him a bad player?!

Just as Cai Xu's mood was uneasy, Su Yang said, "You're familiar with the Lower City District and know many routes; I need your help now."

Cai Xu was startled for a moment, then blurted, "Give me your orders."

On the other end, after a pause, the voice said, "…I need a large Warehouse, preferably in a remote location, far from the city."

"Also, the Warehouse must be highly concealed; price is flexible."

"Huh?"

Hearing these demands, Cai Xu's first thought was hiding corpses…

After all, having witnessed the other's methods, it's hard not to think that way.

But as an "employee", does he even have the right to ask how many?

So he thought for a moment and said, "Generally, large Warehouses are near the Factory Area; if you want one far from the city…"

"I actually know one!"

Su Yang replied immediately, "Tell me!"

Cai Xu gathered his thoughts and said, "I have a friend who works in logging; near Luoshui Street, on a small hill, he has a Warehouse dedicated to storing logs."

"One year ago, White Bear City issued a ban, prohibiting private tree cutting; violators face heavy penalties."

"He consequently changed professions, and the Warehouse has been idle ever since."

"If you rent it, the problem shouldn't be big."

Su Yang considered for a moment, then asked, "Can you get in touch with him?"

Cai Xu: "I'll try my best; it's been a while since I last contacted him, I don't know if that guy is dead."

Su Yang: "Alright, I'll call you back in ten minutes."

After hanging up, Cai Xu immediately dialed, and after half a minute finally got an answer.

He immediately showed a Smile, "Brother Cheng, it's me, Xiao Xu…"

——

Wilderness hills.

Su Yang and Tiger sat on the ground, each looking up at the sky, sighing leisurely.

"The Warehouse matter should be easy to handle; now we need to solve the feeding issue of the Bee Queen."

"Her larvae can eat Stone, so Normal Difficulty nutrition pills should be fine, right?"

"I don't know; let's buy some and try."

Su Yang's peripheral glance caught the Bee Queen staring straight at the two of them.

Just a fleeting glimpse made Su Yang feel a scorching heat throughout his body.

He quickly averted his gaze, thinking how terrifying this creature truly was.

No need to stare; merely displaying its graceful form is enough to Charm the world.

Men go weak in the legs, women get a craving in the mouth.

Su Yang sensed that the Bee Queen is most likely the breakthrough key of this Death Game.

The Luoshi may lead straight to the ending.

Just need to uncover the origins of the enhancement; perhaps we can achieve Clearance directly.

Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Regardless, the Bee Queen must be in our hands!"
