While making the second special item, Su Yang’s mind was thinking how it was a day of reaping for him.
‘Not only is Janet’s identity likely to be taken care of and the island has already been bought, I’m even able to obtain 2 special items.
‘That’s right... There’s Little Hus as well.
‘That dog is still having his point added outside, I wonder how it’s going to turn out.
‘The second special item, [Zinc Gluconate Tablets with Unknown Abilities], is actually simpler than the dog skin plaster because at least it’s like brewing Chinese medicine. However, This item is a wide range of ingredients combined together.’
After clicking on [Produce], a huge pot appeared in front of Su Yang. It was a very familiar pot that Su Yang had used countless times to make his special items in the past.
Then. he threw everything into the pot. Started up a fire and began cooking.
Within less than 10 minutes, everything was cooked.
Su Yang looked at the rows of green ticks before him and knew that the second special item was considered to be completed.
He submitted the brown liquid that he had brewed and moments later, a small medicine bottle appeared in the air and fell to the ground with a “thud”.
As usual, Su Yang did not bother about the item. Instead, he turned around to look at the dog skin plaster.
He did not know if it was because of the system’s upgrade that the item’s interface was being delayed, or because Su Yang had made the [Zinc Gluconate Tablets] too quickly. In any case, the system’s interface had not appeared yet.
At that moment, Su Yang actually became vacant.
Right at that moment, there was a loud “bang” next to him. Accompanied by the crisp sound, a Little Deeny who was dressed in purple appeared before Su Yang. She was holding a gun in her hand. It was the gun that had been found on Kerry after he was knocked out last night.
Su Yang was not even worried or even alerted by Little Deeny at all. Instead, he asked naturally, “Little Purple, what’s the matter?”
Little Deeny said in a voice that was no different from Little Deeny’s, “Master, I saw that you were busy, so I didn’t ask you. How should we handle this gun?”
Su Yang took the gun from Little Purple’s hands. As he held it in his hands, Su Yang could not help but size it up.
This was the first time in his life that he had touched a real gun.
Men would normally dream of becoming a strong soldier wielding a magnificent weapon, even Su Yang was no exception. Hence, he did not return the gun to Kerry even after he had reconciled with them last night.
Kerry was a tactful person. He did not even ask and had acted as though he had not lost his weapon. Hence, the gun fell into Su Yang’s hands.
Because he had to discuss a countermeasure with Janet last night, Su Yang did not have a chance to take a closer look at the gun. Now, he was mesmerized by it.
‘This is a very common pistol, said to have an average power, but its merit is that it’s small and stable.
Su Yang did not have much experience with firearms, so he lowered the gun carefully and started to look for the place where the magazine was withdrawn.
Soon, he found a small button on the left side of the gun. He pressed it lightly, and the metal magazine was ejected.
Su Yang took out a bullet from within. ‘It’s completely made of metal and the workmanship isn’t too bad, but it doesn’t seem to be custom made.’
After Su Yang separated the magazine from the gun before he passed it to Little Deeny and instructed, “Put it in my study room first. I’ll deal with it when I’m free.”
Little Deeny nodded. “Yes, Master.”
With that, she disappeared from the front yard.
After Little Deeny left, Su Yang had time to check on the 2 special items that he had made today.
‘It should be time. The system interface for the dog skin plaster has appeared.’
[Dog Skin Plaster That Doesn’t Cure Anything]
Ability: This dog skin plaster does not have any medical effects, but when you stick it on your body, you will be able to grow a layer of dog skin with dog fur. This dog skin and dog fur is purely for aesthetics.
Restriction 1: This ability can only be used once at the beginning of every calendar month. The longest duration per usage is 2 months.
Restriction 2: If you would like to remove it , soak it in wine and it will fall off.
The moment Su Yang saw that, he was stunned. ‘Little Hus must have secretly used the [Lucky Disfiguring Brick] to slap its own face. Otherwise, how could the system have randomly created an ability that it very much wanted?
‘After all... if not for it, who else would need such a thing?
‘Do I need to stick a dog skin plaster on myself to be a dog?’
After reading the introduction for the [Dog Skin Plaster That Doesn’t Cure Anything], Su Yang took a look at the [Zinc Gluconate Tablets].
When he saw it, he was surprised.
[Special Effects Zinc Gluconate Tablets]
Ability: There are 18 pills in a bottle. Each pill can offset the cost and negative effects of special abilities. These negative effects refer to any prices incurred (including and not limited to interchangeable prices, game prices etc.).
Restriction 1: You can only use it once a day and a maximum of twice a month. Only you can use this item.
Restriction 2: The amount of pills required to consume depends on the price incurred.
Note: Join the Zinc God Church! Mortals!
Su Yang was truly shocked.
‘It can cancel out the cost of using special items? That’s so awesome!
‘Moreover, we’re talking about any kind of price incurred!
‘That makes it even more impressive!’
As for the “interchangeable price” and the “game price” mentioned by the system, Su Yang only needed to think for a moment to know what it was.
Interchangeable price is something like [Abandoned Phone Booth] where I will only be able to get the other party to reveal their secret after I reveal my own. This is actually the price of using that special item, so it should be what’s referred to as an interchangeable price.
On the other hand, game price should be referring to abilities like [Truth Or Explosion] where it will only take effect after I defeat the opponent, which can now be negated with this pill.
‘These pills are really awesome!
‘Furthermore, I noticed that the key word on the pill’s ability isn’t [Special Item], but [Special Ability]. In other words, not only can this pill negate the price of using special items, it can also negate the price of using my Silver and Bronze Abilities.
‘This is an ability that allows me to defy the heavens without paying any price.
‘However... the system is so stingy. There are only 18 pills in a bottle, so how many times will I be able to eat them? Is the system kidding me?’
When Su Yang returned home, he had seen the zinc gluconate tablets that he had bought (the ingredients for the special item). There were 100 tablets in a bottle of that medicine. However, it had shrunk by 5 times by the system.
But since he got it for free, Su Yang could not ask for more. After all, if he asked for more, he would definitely be criticized for being greedy.
That was a joke that had been going on for almost 20 years, but it still persisted.
That also proved just how much of a failure the Spring Festival Gala had been all those years...
Su Yang brought the 2 special items back to the study room and placed them in his personal safe.
The safe was filled with Su Yang’s special items, but all the little monsters in the villa knew the password...
It was not that Su Yang did not want to be more discreet, but it was mainly because the little monsters under him all had special abilities, so It would be too easy to open the safe if they wanted to.
Hence, Su Yang decided to be wary of the gentleman and not the villain.
However, ever since the incident of the [Teddy Bear That Loves To Play Hide-And-Seek] and the [Reverse Wishing Sculpture], the little monsters were very self-aware. Without Su Yang’s permission, they would not touch those things.
Su Yang put everything away and closed the safe. He left the outer courtyard of the castle and walked toward the East alone. He wanted to see how Little Hus was doing.
After walking for half a kilometer, Su Yang arrived at the location where Little Hus was going through his “ordeal”. The cocoon of light that Little Hus had formed was still floating in the air. It read [2:15:21].
‘There’s still 2 hours left. I have no idea what I should do now.
‘Since I have nothing to do, why don’t I take a look at my Moments?’
The moment Su Yang called out the virtual interface, he heard a notification from WeChat. Su Yang froze for a moment. ‘Who could possibly have read my mind and knew that I was bored?
‘Could it be Chu Xia? Or is it Lin Jiali?’
Su Yang took a look happily and realized that it was his most valued subordinate, Little Bun, Li Zijun.
The 2 of them were very familiar with each other, so Su Yang was not disappointed. He picked up the phone and greeted naturally, “Mrs. Little Bun, is something the matter?”
Li Zijun, who was sitting opposite her, was stunned for a moment. She did not understand why she was being called Mrs. Little Bun...
After 3 seconds, she said, “Oh... Mr. Su, there’s something that I would like to report to you.”
Su Yang asked, “What about it?”
Li Zijun said, “The remuneration for our movie has been approved. It will probably arrive tomorrow, you can check it if you want to.”
‘Finally!
‘In the first 2 months of the movie’s launch, the box office was the highest. I recall that it was 35 million yuan when I calculated previously.
‘However, that sum of money had already been mortgaged by the bank, so I could not use it for the time being and could merely stare at it with googly eyes.’
Li Zijun continued, “Oh right, Mr. Su, do you still remember [In] Company?”
Su Yang thought about it. “I remember. Isn’t that the company that keeps on defaming us?”
Li Zijun said, “Yes, yes. They’re in a complete mess now. It’s said that the vice president of the company has teamed up with a few co-founders of the company to overthrow the president.”
“They have about 20% of the shares, which is about the same as CEO Sun’s. His plan should be to hold the same amount of shares, and then rely on himself as the backbone to get the investors to lean toward him so that he can take over and gain control for himself.
“In the end, I did not expect CEO Sun to be so skilled. He had already roped in a few investors from the company and even roped in the boss from the technological department.”
“That’s not all, he even suspended the Vice President and his subordinates immediately, telling them to get lost. As for their business, he has already gotten some other people to take over, so there’s no need for him to worry that something would happen with his company.”
“The whole scenario is just like a palace drama, it’s absolutely brilliant and entertaining.”
“However, Mr. Su, I heard from some people in the industry that CEO Sun won so thoroughly not only because of his own ability. I heard that he found a very strong backer in the Imperial Capital by chance. It was his backer who supported him that allowed him to win the battle so swiftly.”
