Chapter 252: Chapter 252: I Want to Buy a Few More to Have on Hand

Lu Xiao was also shocked by Tia’s dramatic 180-degree change.

"Damn, you’ve really mastered the art of Sichuan opera face-changing, haven’t you?"

"No need to look at me like that. You pay, I provide services; that’s the motto of Holy Light Hall," Tia said, pursing her lips.

"Fine, I’ll ask you a question, and if I’m satisfied with the answer, a million US dollars will be transferred to you immediately."

"That will be fine, Mr. Lu."

"How does one become a Mutant? Tell me all the ways."

Hearing Lu Xiao’s question, Tia was somewhat puzzled.

What’s this, does Lu Xiao want to become a Mutant?

"Mr. Lu, due to genetic reasons, Hua Country people and those with Hua Country ancestry within three generations cannot become Mutants," Tia explained.

"As for why, don’t ask me. I don’t know."

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes. That fact was well known to me when I joined the Seventeenth Bureau.

"I didn’t ask you that; I asked how to become a Mutant. Just answer that."

"Alright, Mr. Lu, there are mainly three methods," Tia was about to start explaining when she noticed the booklet in Lu Xiao’s hand.

"Hey, you’ve got the guidebook there, so why are you asking me all this stuff?" Tia pointed at the booklet with an unhappy face.

Lu Xiao, are you jerking me around?

"The guidebook? You mean this?" Lu Xiao lifted the booklet.

"Yes! How to become a Mutant, all three ways are in there."

"Wasn’t this researched by the Seventeenth Bureau? How do you know?" asked Lu Xiao, with a face full of question marks.

Tia: ("▔□▔)

"What nonsense are you spouting? This is the Mutant Handbook published by Holy Light Hall itself. Look at the bottom right of the last page; there’s our Holy Light Hall symbol."

Lu Xiao immediately flipped the booklet to look at the bottom right corner, and indeed, there was a small shield-shaped symbol.

"Damn it, Lao Liu!" Lu Xiao cursed under his breath.

Goo Yuexing was really something, snatching everything for himself.

Goo Yuexing had given him the booklet the day he left the Seventeenth Bureau, even claiming it was a product of their years of dedicated research.

Turns out, it could be bought at Holy Light Hall for just $9.99.

"Besides these three ways, are there any others? Any safer means?" Lu Xiao continued to inquire.

"Yes, there is a fourth method, simple and safe with no side effects, and the success rate is almost guaranteed to be close to 100 percent."

Lu Xiao was surprised. Is there such an amazing method?

A hundred percent success rate, doesn’t that mean all you foreigners can become Mutants?

Damn, how is the Seventeenth Bureau supposed to operate then?

"As for the method, you just need a Mutated Crystal."

Lu Xiao was puzzled. Mutated Crystal? What’s that? I’ve never heard of it.

"It’s a special energy crystal formed in the chest of a Fourth-stage Mutant," Tia explained briefly.

Lu Xiao’s face immediately darkened, Tia was clearly messing with him.

A crystal from the chest of a Fourth-stage Mutant, where the hell am I supposed to get that?

What, should I snatch one from a Fourth-stage Mutant?

If I was capable of that, would you Mutants dare to come assassinate me?

"Aren’t you wealthy? You can buy it. I remember there was one auctioned at the Civilization Book Club three years ago."

"How much?" Lu Xiao asked immediately, if it could be bought with money, that was no issue.

"The final auction price was 22 billion US dollars," Tia huffed, go on, Mr. Lu, aren’t you rich?

Lu Xiao stood there in a daze, his brows tightly furrowed.

Seeing Lu Xiao distressed, Tia was quite pleased inside.

Don’t think being rich is all that impressive. There are plenty of things in the world you can’t afford.

"So cheap, I wonder if I can buy a few more to have on hand," Lu Xiao mumbled the next second.

Tia: (＃｀㉨´)凸

"By the way, does Holy Light Hall have any?"

"What if I offer 25 billion US dollars? Would that be acceptable?"

"Ask them, whatever they have, I want it all."

Tia felt completely numb. Lu Xiao, listen to yourself, is that even human talk?

More than 20 billion US dollars, and you speak of it like it’s just 200 bucks, damn it.

"Uh... I’ll ask." After mentally preparing herself for two minutes, Tia finally made the call to Holy Light Hall.

After all, if the deal went through, she would get a 0.3 percent commission.

After inquiring, Tia’s face was the picture of despair. There went her commission.

"It was transferred to the Civilization Book Club last month," Tia said, spreading her hands towards Lu Xiao.

Upon hearing this, a smile couldn’t help but emerge on Lu Xiao’s face.

Civilization Book Club, huh? Since they auctioned off a Mutated Crystal three years ago, it means if the price is right, they will trade.

"Can you contact someone from the Civilization Book Club?" Lu Xiao looked at Tia.

"That... is a separate charge," Tia narrowed her eyes. If she couldn’t earn a commission, she might as well make some referral fee.

As soon as Tia had spoken, Lu Xiao pulled out his phone and tapped a few times.

Since Tia had transferred money to him before, Lu Xiao had her account details.

"WeChat transfer of 20 million Yuan received," Tia’s WeChat notification sounded.

"Mr. Lu, please wait a moment. I’ll make the contact for you," Tia’s face beamed with joy. Being around a rich person was simply the best; earning money was too easy.

She had worked so hard to control a bird and make a few tens of thousands of dollars from a livestream. Lu Xiao, on the other hand, could throw around millions of dollars like it was nothing.

Instant financial freedom.

Soon, Tia made a phone call.

After stating the requirement, the call was put on hold, and then a woman’s voice came from the speaker, "Hello, I heard you’re looking for a Mutated Crystal?"

Hearing the woman’s voice from the phone, a row of question marks formed on Lu Xiao’s forehead.

Damn, isn’t that Irina’s voice?

She’s with Civilization Book Club?

No wonder she said she was coming to Hua Country, no wonder she also contacted me to be her tour guide.

What do you mean you want me to be your tour guide, you’re probably planning to nab my kidneys!
