Chapter 499: Chapter 465: Waste Cannot Be Utilized

Just do it.

His status was clear here, arranging a video recording was no problem at all.

"Should we change their clothes?"

Knowing they didn’t have to go to the live show, Sun Wei was no longer opposed; she also wanted her daughter to look beautiful and make an appearance in front of the whole nation.

"Our little Bai and Xi Tang are already very pretty~" Grandma Wang held Bai Yi, liking her more and more with each glance.

Although mischievous, beauty is justice—especially Bai Yi’s innocent large eyes melted these old ladies’ girlish hearts.

The cuter Bai Yi and Mu Xitang behaved, the more obnoxious it highlighted someone else to be!

How could such sweet and beautiful girls have any bad intentions?

The old director had already begun to look for clothes; even though this was a mental hospital, they had invited some children to perform before, and there were extra costumes stored in the warehouse.

Soon, he found two red cotton outfits with cute chibi pink dragons embroidered on them.

"Ha-ha-ha, these are leftovers from the last Dragon Boat Festival when we invited the students from Beihai Kindergarten for a friendly performance. Try them on."

Red and pink, with lively cartoon images.

In front of the camera, the two little ones showed not a hint of social anxiety, their sociability through the roof, twirling and uttering well-wishes.

All the rumors would dissipate after the start of the broadcast...

Seeing them happily recording the video, Sun Wei returned to her room.

Jiang Xiao... was still not out.

She didn’t know if he could make it for tonight’s Spring Festival Gala; she had already bought the ingredients, hoping to cook the New Year’s Eve dinner with Jiang Xiao if all went well.

She remembered in "Kaidan" how Jiang Xiao prepared that dinner with the three little ones for her...

At this moment, Jiang Xiao was about to leave, but B2 and the others persuaded him to stay.

It wasn’t a change of heart about giving him three projects; it was more about building a rapport with him.

They even deliberately arranged for Du Lala to accompany Jiang Xiao for drinks.

"Sorry, I’ll have a cola, if not, then orange with pulp is also fine."

Jiang Xiao stood up, diplomatically expressing his low tolerance for alcohol.

Not drinking?

Okay then, Jiang Xiao’s refusal to drink was understood by everyone present; they didn’t feel that Jiang Xiao disregarded their feelings.

After all, he had a special status, and he had just completed an important task.

It was understandable that he was a bit tired after tussling with Pennywise so long.

Before long, the waiter brought over a chilled cola and orange with pulp.

Jiang Xiao nodded his thanks and sipped elegantly.

"Tsk, not good. In the outside world, I only drink cola from ’82, and the pulp in orange juice has to be freshly squeezed. This... feels a bit perfunctory."

Everyone chuckled, clearly seeing that Jiang Xiao was just joking.

The atmosphere at lunch was exceptionally harmonious, with personnel from the Weird Administration Bureau offering Jiang Xiao drinks from time to time.

Even though they knew he didn’t drink alcohol, it was important to maintain the formalities.

Jiang Xiao occasionally raised his cup, substituting tea for wine, responding to everyone’s warmth.

But it had to be said that the flavor of the food here was indeed unique.

Exquisite and delicious, the cuisine on the table was comparable to works of art in terms of color, aroma, taste, and presentation.

How to put it...

Not to say it was better than on Blue Star, but both the texture and the taste brought a new sensation to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao tried several specialty dishes, full of praise.

He knew these people were from the Weird Administration Bureau, but they were also flesh and blood humans.

They might seem strict in the research institute due to work needs, but now at the table, they showed the warm side of humanity.

Not to mention, Jiang Xiao saw the invoices they issued—prices were more than five times higher than the actual dish costs.

Heh, figures. That’s human nature, bureaucracy has been rampant since time immemorial and never ceased.

...

Some high-ranking officials from the administration also had a chat with Jiang Xiao, discussing some light topics, deliberately avoiding the heaviness of work.

But the implication was they hoped Jiang Xiao would stay, although they didn’t say it outright.

"Jiang Xiao, you’re a talent! I feel somewhat it’s a waste of your talents on Blue Star, ahem, we should maintain our cooperation in the future, keep in touch! After all, it’s not a bad thing."

Jiang Xiao also enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, feigning ignorance, neither agreeing nor refusing.

After all, he had already gotten what he wanted, so he naturally had no objections to the meal.

The attitude of Jiang Xiao earned the admiration of the Weird Administration Bureau’s personnel for his cleverness and strength.

They knew such talents were rare to come by, and Jiang Xiao’s ability and composure in dealing with the "Kaidan" impressed them even more.

They realized they would likely have opportunities to collaborate with Jiang Xiao in the future; thus, nurturing a rapport and closing the distance was undoubtedly the wise move.

After lunch, Jiang Xiao stood up to take his leave.

He knew Sun Wei and the two children might be waiting for him, and there was also the matter of the Spring Festival Gala tonight.

The administration’s personnel didn’t hold him back much, just reminding him to contact them anytime if needed, then watched him leave.

...

"Analog Horror: Do you think I’m an idiot?"

Jiang Xiao: "I’m just asking you, isn’t this two projects?"

"Analog Horror: A project is a project, don’t you know my requirements? As everyone knows, I want two supernatural items, what use are these things to me?"

One hand holding a project.

The one in his left hand was: Digestion Collar.

It’s a collar that could increase a person’s digestion speed by five times.

"Uh, regardless, isn’t this collar practically wings to a mukbang broadcaster?"

"Analog Horror: What do I need a gluttony collar for?"

Uh...

So apt?

No wonder Jiang Xiao found the name of the project somewhat fishy; changing "digestion" to "gluttony" did indeed seem more fitting.

"Well, what about this one..."

Project name: Dream Control Bracelet.

It allowed one to be aware that they were dreaming and then take control.

"Analog Horror: This is interesting, but it’s just that, the means of dream control, normal people can also dominate by continuously using psychological cues on themselves, then trying repeatedly."

"Analog Horror: I could call it the Dream Indulgence Bracelet."

Jiang Xiao: ...

That made sense, and he suddenly found himself unable to refute.

"But today is the New Year."

"Analog Horror: What are you implying?"

"I still have a daughter inside the ’Kaidan’, and today is our once-a-year reunion day in Dragon Country..."

"Analog Horror: Spit it out, I only operate on the principle of equivalent exchange."

"Could I use these two projects to exchange for Shi Shi to be with us for a few days? Seven days? If not, even three days would be fine?"
