In the Southwest Branch of Nadutong Company, in the office of the branch manager, Hao Yi sat behind his desk. The ergonomic chair fit his back almost perfectly, making him very comfortable.
My fingertips swipe lightly across the phone screen as I browse today's news—just ordinary entertainment news.
"Dong dong dong..."
A crisp, loud knock echoed in the office. Hao Yi slowly raised his head, looked at the light wood door, and said, "Please come in..."
The door slowly opened, and a young man peeked out from behind it, saying softly, "Uncle Hao, someone delivered a few boxes of employee uniforms, saying they were ordered by you."
'Employee uniforms...'
After a brief moment of confusion, Hao Yi immediately understood what was going on. It must have been about the incident a few months ago when a new supernatural organization came to him to report on clothing made from the fur of strange beasts and showed him a sample.
Knowing that clothing made from the fur of exotic beasts had many special effects, he thought about it for a moment and decided to buy a batch of clothing. Since it was a good thing, of course he had to buy it.
"Come on, let's go take a look together."
Hao Yi became interested, then stood up and walked towards the door.
The young man pushed the door open completely, and stepped aside, nodding slightly in response, "Okay."
Then, following behind Hao Yi, she asked the question that had been bothering her: "Uncle Hao, there are still a few boxes of employee uniforms in the warehouse, why did you buy a few more?"
"This one is different from the ones I bought before," Hao Yi said without going into details.
The two went down the stairs to the first floor, passed through the warehouse full of express delivery boxes, and arrived at the street directly opposite the company's main gate, where a silver-white van was parked on the side of the road.
The trunk door was open, and several strangers were guarding the van.
'They must be from that supernatural organization.'
Hao Yi thought to himself, then walked straight to the back of the van and took out an employee uniform from an open cardboard box, which was in a plastic bag.
I stroked the employee uniform with my palm. In terms of texture, it far surpassed the original employee uniform. Next, I tested other aspects.
He looked at the several strange men guarding the van and asked, "Can I take a test?"
Zhong Xiaolong did not refuse, but gestured for him to proceed and said softly, "Please go ahead."
Hao Yi grabbed a sleeve and collar of his coat, slowly inhaled, and his arms, hidden beneath his white shirt, slowly bulged with muscle.
"Drink~!"
As he opened his mouth and uttered a deep, muffled sound, Hao Yi suddenly exerted force with both hands, pulling his coat to both sides. However, apart from the sleeves being suddenly pulled straight and making a "snap" sound, nothing else happened.
Gritting his teeth, he continued tugging at his sleeve for a while, but nothing happened.
"Hoo~" Hao Yi slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, then withdrew his strength and nodded in satisfaction.
It didn't break even after he pulled it so hard, so the quality is very good.
As for tests like cutting with a knife or burning with fire, we'll discuss those later.
He instructed the young man standing next to him, "Move these cardboard boxes into my office."
The young man replied, "Okay," and then began moving the cardboard boxes.
Hao Yi nodded slightly to the several unfamiliar people, then turned and returned to the company. The money had already been settled when the order was placed.
Back in his office, Hao Yi instructed the young man to call a few people to his office.
A few minutes later, the three returned to Hao Yi's office.
"Brother Hao, what do you want?" a middle-aged man asked gruffly.
"See that coat hanging on the coat rack..." Hao Yi pointed to a corner of the office, where a Nadutong employee uniform was hanging quietly on a coat rack.
"I saw it." The rough voice carried a hint of incomprehension.
"Slash it twice. Don't use Qi for the first slash, but use Qi for the second slash, but don't use your full strength..."
The main point is that if he strikes with all his might, his office will definitely explode with a loud "Duang".
"Okay." The rugged-looking middle-aged man didn't ask any further questions. He reached behind his waist with his right hand and pulled out a short knife tucked in his waistband. The short knife, which had been nourished by Qi for a long time, gleamed with a chilling light, and it was clear at a glance that it was very sharp.
He walked a few steps to the coat rack and first cut the coat with a knife.
"Huh!" exclaimed the rugged-looking middle-aged man in surprise. "It wasn't even cut!"
The middle-aged man, intrigued, infused his qi into the short sword and gently swung it, unleashing a slender slash of sword energy.
The sword energy struck the brown coat, pushing it backward and causing the coat rack to tip over to the ground.
Clang—Clang~
A crisp clinking sound echoed in the room. The young man who had been standing aside watching stepped forward, picked up the jacket and examined it carefully. He said with surprise, "It's not torn!"
"Let me see, let me see," the middle-aged man shouted as he walked over, carefully examining the coat for a while, and then touching it for a bit.
"It really isn't broken!"
Even if it's just a small test, an attack without much force, it's still sword energy.
The destructive power of sword energy is among the highest of known supernatural arts. How could this seemingly ordinary coat withstand the slashes of sword energy?!
Then came the burning...
Hao Yi looked at another person in the room, a disciple from the Huode Sect.
The man nodded slightly; he was also interested in the coat. He immediately ignited his Qi to start a fire and began to burn the coat.
However, the jacket didn't change at first in the flames. After a minute or two, it caught fire, burning like damp wood, which was very difficult to ignite...
It has a certain degree of resistance to flames.
"This jacket is very nice, Brother Hao, where did you buy it?" The man clenched his fist and then extinguished the fire.
Chapter 74 Lü Liang Runs Away from Home
"An organization of supernatural beings that has only been established for a short time."
Hearing Hao Yi's answer, the other three people in the office nodded thoughtfully. Any superhuman organization that could be remembered by the head of District One must have some ability.
"Where is the headquarters of that extraordinary organization?" asked the middle-aged man who possessed the extraordinary techniques of the Fire Virtue Sect.
"What do you want to do?" Hao Yi raised his eyelids and glanced at the man.
"Such good stuff, of course I should buy a few more pieces. I can't wear my work clothes all day long; I need to buy pajamas, shirts, casual pants, and things like that. If they also sell shoes, that would be even better!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man with the knife and the other young man showed expressions of agreement, finding the words reasonable. They both turned their gazes to Hao Yi, expecting him to give an answer.
Hao Yi's face darkened as he was stared at by the three men with eager eyes. He said irritably, "It's in Biyou Village. As for how to get there, you can use your phone's navigation."
Since Biyou Village is on the company's known list of supernatural organizations, is it wrong for the map to show its location? Of course not.
"Okay." Seeing that Hao Yi's expression was not good, the three of them didn't say anything more and left the room one after another.
On their way downstairs, the young man asked, "Now that we know the address, when are we going to buy clothes?"
The middle-aged man held the knife in a reverse grip, slowly sheathing it back into its scabbard at his waist, and said, "The sooner the better. Besides us, it's possible that others also know about this. Since we're thinking of buying more, do you think they wouldn't want to buy more?"
"So... shall we ask for leave now?" The young man pointed upwards.
"Why ask for leave? Just skip work," said the young man from the Huode Sect. "Skipping work won't cause any problems. Let's set off now..."
"It's not good to just skip work, so we need to find someone to ask for leave for us."
The three of them went down the stairs, each targeting an acquaintance, and persuaded them with a few words. Then they headed straight for the parking lot and took a car to Biyou Village.
Just as the three had said before, the other people who received the special clothing also noticed the unusual nature of the clothing and contacted Biyou Village one after another.
Of course, we'll contact each other by phone...
The people responsible for answering the phone were Ding Zihuan and Fu Rong.
In just half an hour, orders came in one after another like migratory birds returning to their nests, quickly exceeding Biyou Village's production capacity.
Fu Rong reported the order situation to Fang Rui, who responded that things would take time and there would be more orders in the future.
Given that the scale of the farm cannot be expanded in the short term, as Biyou Clothing's reputation gradually spreads, the increasing orders will accumulate...
A thriving business naturally attracts the attention, or rather, the covetousness, of some people.
I'm curious to know what methods they will use.
As Fang Rui pondered this, the ringtone echoed in his ears. He turned his gaze to his phone screen, which displayed a message from Shen Chong.
A new member recently joined the Quanxing faction; his name is Lü Liang.
A half-body photo is located below the text message.
The figures in the photos are about 50% similar to their counterparts in the anime.
So Fang Rui found Lü Huan and handed her the phone.
"Is it Lü Liang?" Fang Rui asked.
"It's him."
Lü Huan looked terrible. From Lü Liang joining the Quanxing Sect, she could guess that something must have happened in Lü Family Village. However, her parents hadn't mentioned this matter in their recent phone calls, which made her somewhat worried.
He immediately took out his phone, dialed a number, and after two rings, the call was connected.
"Xiao Huan, is something wrong?" The male voice on the phone was calm, without any hint of annoyance.
"Dad, what's been happening in the village lately?" Lu Huan's question was very direct, hitting the person on the other end of the phone like a punch.
After nearly a minute of silence, a voice came from the other end of the phone again: "Xiao Huan, why would you ask that?"
"Lü Liang joined Quanxing."
Lu Huan's answer once again silenced the person on the other end of the phone. If it weren't for the trouble in the village, how could Lu Ci, with his personality, have agreed to let Lu Liang join Quanxing?
Forget about joining, even if you just say it, Lu Ci will beat you up if he hears you.
After another minute or two of silence, a deep voice came from the phone: "Something did happen in the village, it's actually a follow-up to what happened before..."
After a pause, the deep voice continued, "...You probably know better than I how powerful the Soul Clarity Technique is. The clan leader summoned clansmen who possessed the Soul Clarity Technique to conduct investigations of the clan, not just once or twice, but every Monday. Moreover, the residual memories within the bodies of those two involved individuals provided some valuable information, allowing us to learn about two other people connected to them..."
"One is a man wearing a golden mask, about whom we have not yet gathered any information. The other is a short, stout middle-aged man. After investigation, we learned that his name is Zhang Jin, an ordinary superhuman with no special skills or reputation. We have not yet captured him."
A golden masked man... Lü Huan slowly turned her head to look at Fang Rui beside her, her eyes filled with a subtle expression.
Fang Rui shrugged helplessly, indicating that it was beyond his control; how could he have known that guy would have such a deep impression of him?
However, it wasn't a big problem. Luckily, he was cautious and wore a mask so he didn't have to worry about revealing his identity.
