Chapter 156: Chapter 154 Three Cubs

Wen Wen stood up, a gold ingot appearing in his hand, and tossed it toward Gong Baoding.

"Yan Biqing was captured by another Containment Officer, so this is all the reward you get," he said.

After the toss, Wen Wen turned to leave with his hands behind his back, his face twitching slightly.

Rewarding a superpower user with only one ingot of gold after risking their life felt chillingly inadequate to him.

Even so, Wen Wen still felt a pang of loss over the single ingot of gold.

"I need to figure out a way to make more money, or else I won’t be able to afford rewards for my subordinates."

Although he had acquired some gold ingots last time, that didn’t stop them from burning a hole in his pocket.

...

After that day, Yan Biqing never showed up again, and the grand encirclement campaign by the Hunter Association came to an abrupt halt. Wen Wen’s life returned to its peaceful routine.

A few days later, the Hunters Association would send people to investigate the Catastrophe Level Strength, but as long as Wen Wen didn’t draw too much attention, there wouldn’t be any issues.

He learned from Lin Lu that on the night of that day, the freelance hunter Wu Wang had tried to leave Furong River City but was attacked by the Catastrophe Level Strength halfway and was reduced to ashes.

"It seems the real culprit was indeed him, but why did he act so useless during the initial tests?" he wondered.

"Well, life is like a play. With such acting skills, he could have been an award-winning actor outside..." Wen Wen said as he stroked his chin and reflected, "But since that’s the case, it means my attack was successful, and I’ve rid myself of a major problem. What a relief."

He felt as if he had shed a great burden; it was even more exhilarating than finally relieving a long-held bowel movement.

This indescribable feeling gave Wen Wen an extra spring in his step.

He even, for the first time, splurged on buying some loaches as feed for the Three-Eyed Illusion Snake. Delighted by the treat, the little snake nearly shed tears of joy and affectionately coiled around Wen Wen.

Finally, no more eating his dead skin cells!

Watching the Three-Eyed Illusion Snake chase and nibble on the loaches in the water, Wen Wen pondered as he stroked his chin.

"Hmm... Since I’ve had you for so long, I should give you a name. Since you have three eyes... I’ll call you Three Cubs!"

The little snake lifted its head, looking at Wen Wen happily and nodded in agreement. As a snake, it was much smarter than cats and dogs.

After thinking for a while, Wen Wen shook his head and said, "No, that won’t do. If I call you Three Cubs, what should I call myself, Old Master Wen? You’ll just be called Three Scraps."

The little snake looked dejected; it didn’t like this name.

"But... calling you Three Scraps does give off an oddly delayed vibe..."

Then Wen Wen began brainstorming a name for the little snake.

"Three Hops, Three Yellows, Three Furs..."

"Ah, forget it, I’ll just call you Three Cubs. I’m too tired to keep trying," Wen Wen concluded an arbitrary name wearily.

The little snake nodded blankly, at least the name was somewhat normal.

Afterward, Wen Wen sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and took out the pink cat-ear water cup.

"The guy said, as long as you fill this water cup with water and wait a while, the desired liquid will appear... of course, only if the cup has contained that type of liquid before."

"This is quite magical. I won’t need to spend money on fancy wines in the future. Maybe I can replace my subordinates’ rewards with high-end wine. A bottle of top-grade wine costs tens of thousands; it would be quite respectable as a reward."

Wen Wen filled the water cup and began visualizing the liquid he wanted.

On the lid of the cup, there was a sesame-sized light that turned red during the conversion and green once the transformation was complete. The duration of the conversion depended on how precious the desired liquid was.

In just a few seconds, the cup had transformed the water into the liquid Wen Wen wanted.

Wen Wen opened the lid full of anticipation, only to be greeted by a pungent, foul odor.

It was a cup of fresh boy’s urine...

Wen Wen’s expression remained unchanged as he disdainfully eyed the cup with his narrow, dead-fish eyes:

"Hmph, just as I expected, someone had used this thing to hold boy’s urine. If I weren’t so clever, I might have ended up drinking water from it. Looks like this cup can only be used as a tool now."

Originally, Wen Wen had wanted to enjoy a cup of chilled soda, but he suddenly decided to test this out and, unexpectedly, ended up with boy’s urine...

Afterward, Wen Wen tested various strange liquids such as strong alkalis, strong acids, floral-scented water, soy sauce, and mustard and chili oil, and even tried holy water—the results were all successful.

Once the testing was finished, Wen Wen opened the black briefcase and tossed out all the strange spray bottles inside.

With this magical cup, there was no need to carry around spray bottles.

...

Heh... Ha!

Wen Wen’s eyes bulged as an intense aura burst forth, making him seem like the Devil Incarnate.

His whole being appeared as a demon sprung from hell, his narrow eyes filled with madness as he searched for his next victim.

But he quickly dispersed the aura, shaking his head in disappointment.

"As I thought, it’s no good, how did I manage it before..."

When he killed the Tyrant Chicken Duo, Wen Wen briefly lost control and entered a peculiar state.

In that state, he drank the Chicken Demon Yao’s blood!

It was as if he had truly become a vampire, not just a superpower user with a Vampire Constitution.

Initially, Wen Wen thought it was just an illusion due to his loss of control, but when his car was wrecked by those punks, he entered that state again.

At that time, he could directly use all of Tao Qingqing’s abilities without needing to occupy extra ring space!

Wen Wen remembered clearly that although he was somewhat irrational in that state, his strength was significantly greater than when he was normal. If he could maintain his sanity, it definitely could make him much stronger.

The capture of Yan Biqing had made him realize his insufficient strength, so he sought to become stronger.

A constitution with five abilities might give him an advantage among lower-level superpower users, but at higher levels, what superpower user only has five abilities?

Therefore, if he wanted to maintain his advantage in the future, Wen Wen had to find that state.

Unfortunately, despite several attempts, he had no success.

Wen Wen guessed that it might require some kind of stimulus to enter that state.

So he watched many different styles of movies, yet none of them induced that state. Mere simple stimuli were not enough to find that feeling.

"Could it be that I really need to be near losing control to enter that state?"

I must... what’s the use of this metal rod...

The phone rang, and Wen Wen answered to find it was Lin Zheyuan on the other end.

"Your new car is here, in the usual place. Go get it yourself." Then he hung up.

Wen Wen chuckled and said, "Tsk, that guy is really annoyed."

Of course, Lin Zheyuan was annoyed. He was the leader of Furong River City’s Demon Hunters, yet he had to personally handle these trivial matters for Wen Wen.

Moreover, with the approach of ’Bing He,’ his irritability was growing.
