Chapter 461: Chapter 459: Taking Over the Shops

"Stop there; I’ve come to give you a task,"

As soon as she heard the word "task," the woman in the green light dress ceased her strange behavior and waited for Wen Wen to issue his instructions with a serious expression.

"There’s no need to be so formal. I’m planning to set up a Custodian shop on the second level, dedicated to selling various Monster materials and some items, for the Containment Officers to buy."

The woman in the green light dress nodded, then asked, "That’s possible, but Monster materials and items..."

Wen Wen opened his black briefcase and started to pour out its contents, quickly amassing a pile of assorted items in front of the woman in the green light dress.

"Let’s start off by selling these things. We’ll have more and more stock over time. Custody Officers can also sell items they don’t need directly to you, or have you sell them on their behalf, taking a certain commission."

"As for the currency used to purchase Superpower Materials... we’ll just establish a virtual currency related to the Sanctuary. Although there are few people now, there will be more hidden away in the future..."

Wen Wen and the woman in the green light dress discussed for quite a while, and in the end, they finalized the specific framework regarding the Custodian shop.

Containment Officers will be able to use a virtual currency called ’Containment Points’ to buy the items they want here. Whenever they sell items to the Custodian shop or capture Monsters into the Sanctuary, they will accrue a varying amount of Containment Points.

The woman in the green light dress could directly engrave relevant information on the Custodian badges, which would effectively serve as special shopping cards.

And the woman in the green light dress was to be the head of the Custodian shop, with Wen Wen specifically dispatching two prison guards who had experience with sales to assist her.

Although the Custodian shop was small for now, Wen Wen believed that one day it would grow significantly.

After dealing with the assorted items, Wen Wen stored the Target Eye Shield and the Battle-axe Steak in the containment warehouse, ready for use with a snap of his fingers.

He decided to keep these two interesting items for his own use.

The next thing to do was to kindly visit the Monsters he had captured into the Sanctuary, the Disaster Level Monsters he had brought in—Weisu and the three creatures from Oye Water City, four in total.

Weisu was a superpowered human, better suited for outside work. So Wen Wen planned to let him out of the Sanctuary to work for him once he was trained to be utterly loyal.

The trio of Sponge, Octopus, and Starfish were like the new mascots of the Sanctuary; even if they weren’t sent on missions, it was amusing to watch them act foolish.

As they had entered the Sanctuary, they were now part of the family. Therefore, Wen Wen personally granted them a family emblem...

He implanted chains in them.

From then on, they would be Wen Wen’s faithful henchmen, never to rebel again.

Finally, Wen Wen arrived at the Disaster Area, looking forward to inspecting his greatest prize this time, the Game Maniac Wu Wang!

Truth be told, Wu Wang could be considered one of the biggest nuisances Wen Wen encountered after entering the Superpower World, a worthy opponent worthy of respect. Most importantly, he was very wealthy.

Well... wealth was the key point.

Inside the cell, Wu Wang lay in a corner, tending to his own injuries.

Seeing his battered and bruised condition surprised Wen Wen. Wu Wang should have had a panacea, so why did he look so wretched now?

Could it be... could he have already squandered the panacea completely?

The mere thought of this possibility made Wen Wen’s heart ache inexplicably; after all, the panacea should have been his.

Seeing Wen Wen approaching, Wu Wang’s face revealed a look of realization, and without a hint of submission, he said to Wen Wen, "Indeed, the Catastrophe-Level expert who imprisoned me here was summoned by you."

"Tell me, now that you have me locked up here, what do you plan to do?"

Wen Wen raised his eyebrows and then let out a sardonic laugh, "I have no particular plans. Just keeping you for fun, like a pet."

"Keeping a pet... even pets can bite back at their owners," Wu Wang said ominously. For him, there was no such thing as surrender; as long as he was alive, he had a chance to revolt.

And one day, he would make Wen Wen experience for himself what it was like to be a ’pet.’

"I just love that defiant arrogance of yours," Wen Wen said without a trace of anger, actually finding it very amusing. Some tempers are more entertaining to break.

Afterward, Wen Wen closely examined Wu Wang and noticed that he was tattered and even more disheveled than the most destitute beggar, so Wen Wen felt a pang of pity.

"This won’t do, someone bring Mr. Wu a clean set of clothes to change into, and give him a bath while you’re at it. He’s filthy."

A moment later, two burly prison guards, carrying two large buckets of water and holding big brushes, arrived outside Wu Wang’s cell.

With a slight movement of his fingers, Wen Wen bound Wu Wang’s limbs, rendering him immobile; if not restrained, Wu Wang might literally tear these two guards to pieces.

Next, to Wu Wang’s horrified and bewildered expression, the two burly men stripped him of everything they could find on him and then began scrubbing him down with toilet-brush-style scrubbers.

"You, you can’t treat me like this; I am a superpowered user at the Assimilation Realm..." Wu Wang’s protest was cut short because one of the guards was brushing his teeth with an enormous shoe brush, which prevented him from opening his mouth properly.

"Although the style leaves much to be desired, these items are all brand new, and the brush bristles are a bit stiff, but you’re not the type to sweat the small stuff, right...should be..."

Watching Wu Wang’s miserable state, Wen Wen was extremely pleased and had the Magic Mirror Gidro record the entire process, planning to watch it whenever he was in a bad mood.

Tormenting Wu Wang didn’t weigh on Wen Wen mentally in the slightest; as a wanted criminal of the Hunter Association, the countless vile acts committed by Wu Wang were too numerous to count, making him someone who wouldn’t deserve an ounce of sympathy even if minced into meat.

Other monsters were also enjoying the scene, thinking how this fellow had been so cocky when he first arrived, and now he was howling and wailing like a ghost.

The prison guards were thorough in their cleaning, leaving no stone unturned on Wu Wang’s body for potential hiding places.

With their close cooperation, they indeed found three special items.

One was a metal stick the size of a finger, which could transform into various keys to unlock any mechanical locks.

Another was a false tooth, which contained an unknown pill, likely capable of helping Wu Wang escape certain doom.

The last item was a piece of metal arm bone, from which could spring forth an incredibly sharp blade. A mere wave of this blade was enough to unleash powerful Sword Qi.

This Sword Qi’s might was comparable to that of a Disaster Level, and with it alone, Wu Wang could easily kill a Disaster Level Monster, even without his powers.

These three items, all intended for Wu Wang’s moment of counterattack, were faithfully uncovered by the loyal guards. In the Sanctuary, retaliation was impossible.
