Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

Lu Chen put his hands in his pockets, not showing any of the French currency. When he reached the entrance of the French Concession, the French soldier greeted him. Lu Chen responded and quickened his pace to leave.

"Sis, this deal went well, we made a lot of money, keep it safe."

As soon as he opened the door, Lu Chen pulled Lu Xiulian to his side, stuffed 100,000 yuan into her hand, and kept the remaining 20,000 yuan on his person for emergencies.

"Wow, so many?"

Even Lu Xiulian, who had lived a life of luxury, was somewhat flustered when she suddenly saw so much money.

He hurriedly grabbed a pile of banknotes and ran into the room.

When I met Huang Jinrong before, I heard my brother say that he seemed to be working in the military police? How come he's started doing business again now?

She didn't understand, nor did she ask Lu Chen. As long as Lu Chen didn't abandon this family, that was fine.

"Squeak squeak".

The mouse in the sleeve squeaked, signaling to Lu Chen that Mouse Two and the others had returned after completing their mission.

Lu Chen hurriedly stuffed the rat into his arms and nervously looked into the room. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his younger sister, Lu Xiulian, was not paying attention to them.

"Wow, Uncle, you've got a pet mouse?!"

Just as Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Yao's excited voice suddenly came through, startling Lu Chen.

"What? Rats are so dirty, how could Uncle keep such a thing? Go, go, go play."

Today is the weekend, and Xiao Yao didn't go to school. Lu Chen forgot about it and quickly took out a banknote to send Xiao Yao away.

Children are so easy to fool; Xiao Yao happily went out after receiving the legal tender.

Lu Chen wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead, lifted his foot, and left home.

"Squeak squeak squeak".

After they had traveled some distance from home, Rat Two and several other rats appeared in front of Lu Chen.

"Take me to each one, one by one."

He stuffed them into the inside pocket of his coat and followed the rat's lead toward the Huajie.

It was about the time he had expected. The rats were nimble, and finding something by following the scent was not difficult for them.

"here?"

Lu Chen stood at the entrance of the Japanese Concession, his lips twitching.

"Squeak squeak".

"You mean, this one has the most of that stuff?"

Upon hearing Rat Four's explanation, Lu Chen gave a wry smile, shook his head, and moved further away from the Japanese concession.

"Sigh, it's wartime now, the Japanese army must be collecting morphine too, and they definitely have more morphine there."

Lu Chen shook his head, realizing he had forgotten the most important thing: at this time, morphine was definitely the most readily available substance in the military.

The small clinic that gave him morphine probably only had a few small bottles; most of it was in the hands of the military.

······

"Colonel, we have collected two thousand bottles of morphine, and no anti-Japanese elements have been found within the Chinese-controlled area."

In the Japanese Concession's Special High District, in Kuroda's office, a Japanese man was standing in front of him, giving him a report.

Kuroda tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and only opened his eyes after the person in front of him had finished speaking.

"Sato-kun, you did a great job. You're doing a very good job as the head of the intelligence section."

Kuroda was very satisfied. The man in front of him was Sato Yosho, the current head of the Special Higher Police Intelligence Section in the Japanese Concession.

After Kuroda arranged for them to collect morphine, they brought it all up, as long as it was available in the Chinese-controlled area and the Japanese concession.

"Put all this morphine in the armory and have the soldiers guard it carefully. Not a single bottle is to be lost!"

"Hi!"

Sato Yosho loudly agreed and then walked out of Kuroda's office.

Kuroda stood up and looked out the window. Tomorrow, that kid Lu Chen will probably be able to get a lot more morphine.

He had already witnessed the power of morphine on the battlefield last time, but due to the limitations of his thinking, he had only used it to treat the wounded.

Unexpectedly, he was able to make the soldiers fearless of pain. A greedy glint flashed in Kuroda's eyes. If he could make a great contribution this time, his position would probably be promoted again.

······

Lu Chen stayed at the military police station for a while, and didn't return home until dark.

My mind was constantly preoccupied with how to get morphine.

"The morphine is all with the Japanese army. How could we possibly get it all without a trace?"

After dinner, Lu Chen returned to his room and lay on the bed, feeling worried.

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to gain Kuroda's trust, but this task is a bit difficult.

The six mice, including Mouse One, were munching on pastries on the table. It had been a long time since Lu Chen had bought them pastries, so this time he bought a lot and let them eat their fill.

Watching the mouse munching on pastries with its tiny paws, Lu Chen's head felt like it was about to explode.

He suddenly realized something: he had a cheat code that allowed him to control the entire rat population.

Now that I am living in the Republic of China era, I can say that I am the first human to possess superpowers.

He was just a spy or agent, and his previous goal was to collect intelligence.

Rats are incredibly capable creatures; if there are enough of them, they can wipe out an endless supply of food in a single night.

"Then I'd be a god, wouldn't the world need more mice?"

Lu Chen walked to the table, his eyes shining as he looked at Shu Yi and the others, muttering to himself.

Although mice are small, a bottle of morphine is only a small amount, and a mouse can easily hug a whole bottle.

"I can easily get the rats into the Japanese concession and then smuggle all the morphine out through the sewers!"

Seeing the mouse holding the pastries, Lu Chen suddenly realized that the mouse could be used in this way.

"That won't work either; I still need to preserve the rat population."

The previous attempts to send rats to attack the Japanese army resulted in significant losses, so Lu Chen needs to develop a complete system to ensure the rat population.

"Rat One, from now on, you're only allowed to bring half the rats on each mission. Let the other half breed!"

That's right, that's the solution Lu Chen came up with. Mice can have 5 or 6 offspring per litter, and some can even have more than 10.

As long as half of the mice are breeding, there is absolutely no need to worry about the mouse population.

Because of the cheat code, these rats will only obey your commands unconditionally; you are the rat king!

"Furthermore, you are allowed to plunder Japanese granaries without my orders."

While ensuring sufficient numbers, food must also be plentiful, and the marching ability of the Japanese army must be weakened at the same time.

"Squeak squeak".

Mouse One squeaked twice, and then Mouse Five jumped out of the window to convey Lu Chen's orders.

"Rat Two, Rat Three, Rat Four, Rat Six, each of you take a group of rats and go to the Japanese Concession to bring back all the morphine you found. You can go later; I'll tell you where to put it first."

Lu Chen first gave a notification, then grabbed a few rats and went outside, finding an abandoned warehouse not far from the Japanese concession in the Chinese-controlled area.

They rented it for 5 yuan a month and told Rat Two that they would put all the morphine they had gotten here.

"Go, finish the mission before dawn while it's still dark, and don't let anyone see you."

Lu Chen squatted down at the sewer opening and put Rat Two, Rat Three, Rat Four, and Rat Six in. After the rats disappeared, he turned around and went home.

"By tomorrow morning, all that morphine the Japanese army had will be mine."

Standing in front of the room window, staring at the Huajie across the street, Lu Chen had a smile on his lips.
