He was selling gashapon toys in Marvel Studios, and at the beginning, Tony turned into Kuuga.

Old Liao hung up the phone.

Xu San held his phone, his ears still ringing.

Three billion.

In his twelve years in the industry, the largest grant he has ever handled has been only tens of millions.

This one phone call wiped out the last penny.

"It's approved?" Xu Si leaned closer.

"Approved." Xu San's lips twitched slightly. "Three billion."

Xu Si almost burned his fingers with his cigarette.

"It also said one more thing," Xu San said, putting his phone in his pocket and lowering his voice, "at all costs."

The two remained silent for three seconds.

Then he turned to look at the young man behind the counter who was leisurely drinking milk tea.

Li Ang put down his cup and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

"Did it work?"

"It's done."

"Great." Li Ang snapped his fingers and pulled a flat metal box from under the counter. "Since the client is so sincere, I can't be stingy."

The box was opened.

Ten mini gashapon machines were neatly arranged inside, each only the size of a basketball.

The outer shell is matte black with a gold-stamped logo that reads "Zhutian Gashapon House - Portable Version".

"This is a portable model that I specially customized for institutional clients."

Li Ang placed the items on the counter one by one.

"Built-in card swiping module, supports UnionPay, WePay, and Alipay, 100,000 per round, eggs will automatically hatch after swiping."

"It's so easy to use, even a three-year-old could do it."

Xu Si picked up a device and examined it from all angles.

The workmanship is incredibly exquisite, the metal casing has a warm and smooth feel, and there is an anti-slip pad on the bottom.

"This works too??"

"Why not?"

Li Ang smiled.

Xu San adjusted his glasses. "What are the requirements for transportation and storage?"

"No special storage is needed; you can throw it anywhere. It's not afraid of being dropped, wet, or burned."

"The only restriction is that it cannot be disassembled."

Li Ang held up one finger.

"If you dismantle it, the machine will self-destruct and deduct all the pre-deposited balance from your account."

Xu San's eyelid twitched.

"rest assured."

He reached out and took ten gashapon machines.

"Can I have another one?"

Feng Baobao squatted down beside it, her eyes fixed on the last gashapon machine.

"Do you have money?"

Li Ang coldly refused.

"Zhang Chulan has it."

Zhang Chulan shuddered. "Sister Bao'er, no! I haven't received my salary this month!"

Feng Baobao turned to look at him.

His eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.

But Zhang Chulan's wallet was already starting to tremble.

"Alright, alright." Li Ang clapped his hands. "Let's stop fighting and get down to business."

He looked at Xu San and Xu Si, "Why don't you two try it out? You have public funds in your hands anyway."

Xu Si's eyes lit up.

Xu San hesitated for two seconds, then took out his official business card from his pocket.

Beep.

One hundred thousand.

The gashapon machine started spinning.

A silver-gray gashapon rolled out; it was quite heavy.

Xu San unscrewed it.

There was a wooden stick lying inside.

To be precise, it was a dark brown magic wand about thirty-eight centimeters long.

The entire surface is covered with fine, bone-like protrusions, the tip of the staff is slightly curved, and a white crystal the size of a needle tip is inlaid at the handle.

"This is……"

"The Elder Wand from Harry Potter." Li Ang walked over and glanced at it. "The uncursed version."

He paused, then his expression became amusing.

"You're lucky. This thing is known as one of the Deathly Hallows, the most powerful wand in the magical world."

"But I don't know magic." Xu San held the magic wand, feeling his palms slightly hot.

"You don't need to know magic." Li Ang pointed at Xu San's head. "You're an Inhuman, right? You have telekinesis."

Xu San's expression changed slightly; he did indeed possess telekinesis.

However, its level is not high; at most, it can only push objects weighing a few kilograms remotely.

"The Elder Wand's core function is to amplify the user's mental output."

Li Ang explained.

"You could only push a cup before, but with this cane, you can push a truck."

"Geometric expansion, with no upper limit."

Xu San gripped the magic wand tightly.

His hands were trembling slightly, but not from fear.

The warmth emanating from the staff was climbing up his arm, resonating with the telekinetic energy within him.

A rubber duck on the counter suddenly flew up.

Then comes the second one.

The third.

All the small items on the shelf were suspended in mid-air.

"I didn't use any force." Xu San's eyes widened.

"You just held it and thought about the word 'fly'," Li Ang said, brushing aside the rubber duck that had floated down in front of him. "It's that simple."

Xu Si was speechless with astonishment.

"It's your turn." Li Ang gestured towards him with his chin.

"Swipe your card!"

Another 100,000.

The gashapon machine dispensed a dark red gashapon.

Xu Si unscrewed the screw, and inside was a small, thread-bound booklet, about the size of a palm, with four characters written in calligraphy on the cover: "Armament Haki".

Below is a line of smaller print: Beginner's Guide.

"These are basic combat techniques from the One Piece world." Li Ang glanced at them. "Armament Haki, simply put, is using willpower to coat your body with a layer of armor."

"With a stronger fist and higher defense, you can even hit some unreasonable elemental ability users."

Xu Si opened the booklet.

There are no words on the pages, only dynamic ink illustrations.

The figure in the illustration is repeating the same action over and over again...

Clench your fist, and then cover the knuckles with a dark sheen.

Xu Si stared for a moment, and it seemed as if a white light merged into his brow.

"call!"

He closed the booklet and clenched his right fist.

The next moment, a layer of dark black lines appeared on the surface of his fist.

Although it only covered three fingers, it dissipated in less than two seconds.

But the effect was immediate.

"This is different from Qi." Xu Si looked at his fist, his voice changing, "It's purer, more direct."

He was originally a self-taught thug, and his fighting skills were all learned through years of practical experience, without any systematic close-combat techniques.

Armament Haki filled this gap perfectly.

"Practice slowly." Li Ang patted his shoulder. "If you master the beginner's manual, you can crack a half-meter-thick steel plate with one punch."

Xu Si's Adam's apple bobbed, and he turned to look at Xu San.

Xu San was also looking at him.

The same message was written in both of their eyes...

Three billion? Absolutely worth it!
