It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

In fact, Xu Shi might not be simply seeking revenge for his good brother.

Since the last escort incident, Xie Qingyan has paid more attention to him.

Coupled with the other party's recent drastic reforms within the "Snake Ring", she became keenly aware that her fiancé was definitely not as simple as she thought.

Then things became much clearer - "Snake Ring" and "Prism" both had ideas about "Shark Tooth", but they were betting on different targets.

If one party takes action, the other party will never sit idly by.

If this is the case, it would be really troublesome... In any case, Xie Qingyan must find a way to verify it, otherwise he will inevitably be put in a passive position.

So she had to suppress her anger and said as calmly as possible, "No matter who you are, let Xu Shi answer the phone. I have something important to tell him."

"Ah, Director Xu? Director Xu is a bit busy right now..."

Following Xu Shi's instructions, Miss Black Rabbit stretched out her voice as much as possible, "Chairman Xie, if you have anything to say, you can tell me. I will, I will convey it to Xu in full... Yeah!"

The sudden slight electric shock on her neck made her tremble violently, and she looked angrily at Xu Shi who was leaning beside her.

You bastard!

Xu Shi spread his hands and said, you said you can't do it.

Then I have no choice but to help her in this way.

The sudden rise in tone also made Xie Qingyan realize that something was wrong.

This person is also a theoretical expert and reacted quickly when he heard such noise.

Xu Shi, you tm? !

"...Okay, then please ask this lady to tell Xu Shi to call me back in person when he is free."

How can we talk about this! Xie Qingyan clenched his fists and said with gritted teeth, "Remember, it must be in person."

"Oh, okay, I, I understand... um..."

The other party replied incoherently, "I will definitely pass it on for you... Yeah! That's enough! I can't stand it anymore!"

Gu Yi looked at Xu Shi fiercely. It’s not over yet, right?

I already know how to do this!

Xu Shi laughed so hard that he wanted to roll over. He knew it, but it was fun to do it, didn’t he?

"Well, that's good. Sorry for the trouble."

Xie Qingyan couldn't stand it anymore, he responded casually and planned to cut off the communication.

But just before she hung up the phone, the person on the other end called her, "Um, please, please wait a moment..."

"I told you to let Xu Shi come and talk to me in person."

"No, that's not it... Mr. Xu asked me to tell you that if it is, if it is about the eldest son of the He family, then there is no need to discuss it face to face..."

"Because...hiss...because 'Snake Ring' is much stronger than a small company like 'Shark Tooth'. If Xie, Mr. Xie, you want to...grunt...cooperate, we have a better project..."

"With your strength, Mr. Xu is willing to take you to play... huh..."

"He loves to talk!"

Xie Qingyan lived in Bengbu. She wanted to vent her anger but failed because the other party hung up the phone before she could even open her mouth.

This made her even more angry. You want to die, right?

After all, I am your fiancée, can you please have a little shame?

Chairman Xie felt unprecedented humiliation. You know, although the two of them hadn't communicated for many years, she was the one who controlled Xu Shi in the past!

This is the first time such a situation has happened...how dare he!

Xie Qingyan wished he could capture Xu Shi and bring him to his laboratory right now, and give him hundreds of injections to ease his anger.

Fortunately, she was not a person who acted on impulse, and she gradually calmed down.

It now seems that there is no doubt that the other party was behind He Yuzhao's incident.

But what is this “better project” he just mentioned?

The fiancée tapped the table with her fingers and began to think.

It can be seen that she seemed to be interested.

……

"I...you bullied me again!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yi threw the bracelet over with force, looking like she was about to cry.

How abominable!

It would have been fine if he had just used light and electricity twice, but this guy actually went for it directly in the end!

How could there be such a mean person... Feeling the unknown heat coming from her body, Miss Black Rabbit just wanted to pin him to the ground and beat him.

"Just do the whole act, understand."

Xu Shi comforted her without any guilt, "If it doesn't work out, I'll take a loss and let you get it back?"

This was exactly the effect he wanted - he knew very well Xie Qingyan's attitude towards him, and his fiancée would never be able to tolerate his contempt for her.

And anger can often disrupt a person's plans very well.

But Xie Qingyan is not an ordinary person. What's the point of just angering her... We also need to throw out some bait appropriately so that she can savor it carefully after she calms down.

At this point, the prerequisites for working with her are in place.

As for Gu Yi, she had to bear with it a little bit, because Su Lin was not here... The fact is that even if she was here, it wouldn't work.

Although Su Lin was definitely willing to cooperate, Xie Qingyan knew her well and could easily tell that she was just acting.

"The devil wants to touch you, get out."

Miss Black Rabbit didn't care about that and stared at him fiercely.

"You gave up the chance to make amends yourself."

Director Xu, who still had a trace of shame, walked away with a wicked smile.

You are a big bastard anyway! There is no one worse than you!

After he left, Gu Yi complained inwardly, but her body softened unnaturally.

I looked down and…tsk, it’s time to change the sheets.

As she slowly cleaned up the mess in the room, she suddenly realized that, despite what she said, she didn't seem to be very resistant to his behavior...?

Can't he?

Miss Black Rabbit blinked, but her mind continued to think unconsciously.

Even if it's just a show, then, what if Xu the bastard gets serious with me one day...

Oh~

She quickly shook her head to clear away this dangerous thought.

I drew the character pictures of Xu Shi and Gu Yi first, everyone can help click the little red heart~

Also, if anyone spreads rumors that I'm going to add fifty chapters, I'll beat you up.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 52: Upgrade

After initially laying the foundation for cooperation with "PRISM", Xu Shi seemed to be unable to rest.

Xie Qingyan is not someone who can be easily dealt with. It is sheer dreaming to expect such a trick to make her bow down to him... This can only have a certain effect, but it is not enough for him to control the overall situation.

In fact, he had a very clear idea of ​​his fiancée - this bitch was very scheming, and anyone who wanted to cooperate with her had to be fully prepared, otherwise he would fall into her trap if he was not careful.

Not to mention that Xie Qingyan herself is a powerful consortium director, no one can underestimate her.

Therefore, in order to completely seize the initiative and also pave the way for future development, one thing must be put on the agenda.

"Re-upgrade" of supernatural powers.

To be honest, I should have considered this issue a long time ago. Although it doesn't take long to become an "upgrader", this thing is not something that can be won by time. It would definitely be best if I could upgrade as soon as possible.

The main reason was that Xu Shi now clearly felt the shortcomings of "Evil Thought Entropy Increase" - physical contact was required, and the process was too slow.

Generally speaking, this is not a big problem, just take it slow and take the long view... Jiang Chengcheng is the best example, Gu Yi and Xia Wuyou also went through this.

But if you encounter any emergency, it will be a problem. How can there be so many people standing there for you to touch?

And sometimes, it may not be useful even if you encounter it, such as Xie Qingyan.

As a villain, his fiancée is of course also an "Upgrader", and a natural A-level "Upgrader".

Her ability is the kind that is "useless even if encountered" - "Ability Nullification".

The abilities of units touched by it will be temporarily ineffective.

This is also one of the most buggy abilities. If it wasn't like mine, and required physical contact to be effective, I'm afraid the rating wouldn't even be just A, but S.

A natural born S-rank "Upgrader", he is a very explosive existence no matter where he is placed.

Looking at myself... I'm so angry. When will I have a boy... ahem, I'm getting off topic.

But if one could be at Shen He's level, facing this situation would be a lot easier - after all, since the beginning of the plot, his "unity" has already been a halo.

After it is turned on, as long as he is in the field, a look or a smile from him can produce an effect inadvertently.

The same is true if the process is too slow. It takes time for the seeds of evil thoughts to take root and sprout, which leads to the possibility of variables.

There will always be situations where you can't delay time, and you also have to consider the possibility that the other party will be subject to other stronger interference during the degeneration process... These will greatly weaken the influence of your own supernatural powers.

Therefore, these two problems must be solved, or at least one of them must be solved first.

People often regard superpowers as physical mutations brought about by "rust fog", and if they want to "upgrade" again, there are usually two paths to choose from.

One is to carry out targeted training. For example, if your superpower is great strength, then exercising your muscles will definitely gradually increase the upper limit of your ability.

Su Lin and Xia Wuyou are good examples. When their superpowers awakened, they were both at B-level, and they both improved through extensive training and grew to their current A-level.

The second is to be in the corresponding environment for a long time, which is Gu Yi's situation.

According to the plot, the little black rabbit's "Data Supercomputer" rating started at only C, but she has been surfing the Internet intensively and is still engaged in a related industry.

Over time, even though she herself didn't know that she had awakened her superpowers, she has now transformed into a B-level level.

So, faced with different paths, what choice did Mr. Xu make?

3. Cash ability.

Since the emergence of "Rust Mist" until now, although people cannot say that they have fully comprehended the mystery of superpowers, they have already possessed many related technologies.

Such as the "Sundial" produced by "Snake Ring", the blockers and inhibitors under "Prism"... and the "Hengwo" drug that was jointly developed by the two consortiums when his father Xu Cheng was in his prime, which is specifically designed to help people improve their abilities.

After taking it, if you add certain physical or mental stimulation, you can achieve the effect of "re-upgrading". In a sense, this can be regarded as a groundbreaking product.

To make an analogy, "Hengwo" is like the elixir in the fairy world that helps improve one's realm, but it won't lead to the classic scene where one's realm only improves but not one's ability after taking it.

This is mainly because superpowers are single specializations, and complications are real. No matter what means are used to "upgrade" them, the final results are similar.

It's the cyber age now. Don't always think that medicine is not as good as actual combat. Don't you still have to eat nitrogen pump protein powder for fitness? In fact, in Xu Shi's opinion, this is the best embodiment of the simultaneous advancement of superpowers and technology.

However, given the current level of the two conglomerates, the effect of "Hengwo" can only promote "re-upgrading" below grade A at best.

To go further, you can only rely on your personal efforts.

This is also the biggest watershed for "upgraders" - there are basically fixed routines for "re-upgrading" below grade A, but if you want to be promoted to grade S or even higher, the situation is very complicated and difficult.

At least, every "upgrader" in Night Sin City who becomes S-level through "re-upgrading" has very different methods and means, and they all need to find an opportunity, or something as mysterious as coincidence.

But as Xu Shi is at Class B, he cannot touch such high-end areas for the time being.

Of course, if you must say it, "Hengwo" also has a very serious disadvantage: it is expensive.

The price of a dose of medicine starts at seven figures and is often out of stock.

In the original plot, there was a classic scene where Shen He took great pains to find "Heng Wo" for Gu Yi, and then participated in the auction. The righteous act of killing and robbing also caused "Snake Ring" to be persecuted again.

But this is not a problem for Xu Shi - he will never be short of money no matter what he needs, not to mention that this thing is its own product.
