Started from the creation of Kamen Rider

Shouldn't it be mysterious, or rigorous and solemn?

"...Then, Senior, can I take two more people with me..."

"A knight too?"

"No...it's just a superhero movie."

"No problem. I think the organization that invited me will also be interested in joining the Super Power Series."

166. What does the Nigo holster mean?

A black man.

When he found the location according to the information given by the Venerable, what Su Su never expected was that the person who appeared in front of him was... Niko.

If it weren't for this Nigo's indifferent expression and the strong extraordinary aura that could not be faked, Su Su might really think that he had come to the wrong place.

Wow, last time we met he was using a top-notch beauty leather suit, but this time he changed it to a burly Nico?

Is this gap too big? Or does the Venerable have some unique hobby?

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he turned to look at Asada Shino, who also looked puzzled. Su Su sighed silently in his heart, but did not show any abnormality on his face. Instead, he calmly walked up to the Niko first, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

"I'm sorry, I'm late... Well, three minutes. Fortunately, considering the time I spent going upstairs, I am relatively punctual in a sense. Nice to meet you. I'm Su Su. I think since Your Excellency has invited me, you must know me."

"But please forgive me for being so presumptuous. I brought three juniors with me to bother you this time. There is only one now, and there are two more to come. They are the same kind of people as us."

After sitting down, Su Su did not show any sign of restraint or shrinking. Instead, he looked at Venerable Nigo openly. Then, without waiting for the other party to speak, he took the initiative in the conversation.

Then, while speaking, Su Su glanced in the direction of Asada Shino, who was standing there at a loss not far away, indicating that this was the person he brought.

Then, after he finished speaking, Su Su turned his gaze back to the Venerable, waiting for his response.

As for Su Su's attitude, which was completely unfamiliar and even quite wild, the Venerable did not show any abnormality. On the contrary, after Su Su finished his introduction, the Venerable looked at Asada Shino with interest along Su Su's gaze, and then waved gently to Asada Shino.

"Mr. Su Su, what are you talking about? I have something to ask of you. Besides, since we are hosting a banquet for you, it is only natural for you to bring some juniors... Miss Asada Shino, right? Don't be shy, come and sit down. I have heard a lot about Miss Asada's reputation recently..."

The original intention was to invite Su Su to a banquet, but Su Su ended up bringing three people to stay. Are you surprised? Of course I was quite surprised, but Meng was more surprised.

Asada Shino - a knight who has attracted much attention recently. Not only does she possess the strength of a third-level knight, but she was also given an armed plug-in by the mysterious Knight Zero. What is unexpected is that Asada Shino has such a good relationship with Su Su that they can attend the banquet together.

This is such a pleasant surprise...

However, if Su Su had a powerful knight like Shino Asada accompanying him, then the means of intimidation that the group had thought of before would not work, and they would have to use more means of inducement.

Fortunately, His Holiness had made quite complete preparations.

......

After seeing that niango waving at her and signaling her not to be so reserved, Asada Shino walked to Su Su a little uncomfortably, and then sat down next to Su Su - in fact, Asada Shino originally wanted to sit farther away from Su Su, but unfortunately, the person who invited Su Su was unexpectedly a niango.

Of course, Asada Shino herself did not have any strong aversion to Nico. After all, although the stereotype of Nico was that he was irritable, noisy, impolite, and generally had a bit of a slow brain, it was undeniable that there were also people among Nico who loved life, were hardworking, and were humble.

But Asada Shino still instinctively didn't want to be close to Nico.

Not only did she not want to, but Kaname Madoka and Rika would be arriving soon, and Asada Shino didn't want them to be too close to Nico, so the four of them had to sit next to Su Su.

Then, as the one who was most familiar with Senior Su Su, I had no choice but to move closer to him, and the four of us squeezed in...

"..."

So, after feeling that Asada Shino was sitting next to him, Su Su turned his head with a little confusion - but soon after noticing Asada Shino's expression, Su Su understood what this little girl was thinking.

After all, Asada Shino really doesn't have any scheming intentions, and she probably thinks she did it quite covertly. But in the eyes of Su Su and the Venerable, Asada Shino's disdain for Niko was almost expressed out loud.

Fortunately, the Venerable is not a real Niko, but just a skin, otherwise he would be very angry...

But speaking of it, Su Su suddenly thought that the status of black people in the book is actually the same as that of goblins, orcs, tentacles and livestock. So, can black people who often read the book figure out in the sage time that this is actually a form of racial discrimination?

"...Sorry, Senior, I'm a little...uncomfortable..."

After sitting down next to Su Su, it took a long time for Asada Shino to react belatedly. Then, as if she realized something, she quietly moved a little to the side, and after keeping a short distance, she whispered an apology.

However, Su Su just waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, and then shifted his attention to the Venerable sitting opposite him.

Just like the last time in the restaurant, the leather head of the Venerable still did not display any information such as level and occupation. Su Su guessed that he would have to see this guy's real body to display this information. After noticing Su Su's gaze, the Venerable smiled and nodded, then asked Su Su as if giving a suggestion.

"Since Mr. Su Su's two juniors have not arrived yet, why not have a drink first? What would you like to drink, Mr. Su Su?"

"Juice is fine, how about you, Shino?"

"Uh...same as you, Senior..."

"Okay, relax, Shino. This is just a gathering to introduce you to... um... other supernatural forces. How about letting Mr. Venerable introduce himself? Mr. Venerable, I have heard a little about your power, but I don't know much about it. Why don't we take this opportunity to get to know each other?"

Patting Shino Asada's shoulders gently, feeling the tightness of Shino Asada, it would be hard for outsiders to imagine that this was a powerful third-level knight. Su Su had never expected that since the welcome dinner, Shino Asada's social phobia seemed to have worsened...

Or maybe she was just subconsciously nervous about Ni Ge?

On the other hand, the Venerable obviously noticed Asada Shino's nervousness. If it were normal times, the Venerable would definitely find a way to ease her nervousness, and then try to make friends with such a powerful third-level knight - but now...

Compared to Asada Shino, the Venerable feels that Su Su is more important.

167. The Price of Su Su

To be honest, the Venerable didn’t really understand what Su Su meant.

Judging from Su Su's performance, the other party must know him - although he was a little surprised, but considering that Su Su was most likely a senior figure in the supernatural world, this was not incomprehensible.

However, since the other party knows himself, why would he bring others to attend his banquet?

Simply to find a powerful helper to prevent yourself from being controlled by him?

If he had never met Su Su and only knew him from intelligence, the Venerable would have had such thoughts. However, after seeing Su Su in person, the Venerable threw these thoughts behind his mind. The casualness and confidence that Su Su showed when he saw him were not something that someone who was afraid of him could show...

Even if Su Su only brought Asada Shino, a third-level knight in the wild, it could be barely understood. It could be regarded as a senior helping a junior and expanding his network of contacts!

But the presence of these two people from the Super Power Division One really confused the Venerable - after learning that the two people who had not yet arrived were law enforcement officers from the Super Power Division One, the Venerable once wondered if Su Su was planning to arrest him.

After all, in theory, a cult like his is the target of the Super Power Division, but when the cult leader invited Su Su to dinner, Su Su also called two law enforcement officers over...

What's the matter? Are you planning to make me nervous instead?

Fortunately, when the two little girls arrived, the Venerable immediately felt relieved, and it was considered as confirmation that Su Su had no ill will towards him - after all, the two little girls were really not a big threat to the Venerable.

The one among the two little girls, Madoka Kaname, is a psychic who belongs to the Super Power Department, so the Venerable has read her information and can be considered to know her. According to the information, this Madoka Kaname is a so-called "rough stone" psychic who is not even a knight and has very low strength. She is just famous because of her cute appearance.

The other girl named Rika is just an ordinary person and is not worth mentioning.

So after being slightly confused for a while, the Venerable soon breathed a sigh of relief - at least Su Su seemed to be really willing to talk to him.

As for why I brought someone from Super Power Unit along... maybe it was because the way I delivered the letter and the way I worded it made him feel unhappy, so this was a small warning to me?

It's possible.

But no matter what, since it has been confirmed that Su Su does intend to contact me, it is a good thing - at most I have to pay more attention to my attitude, so as not to provoke Su Su to have any opinions about me...

......

"...Mr. Su Su, come to think of it, I am actually the same as Ms. Asada. I was once a knight, but unfortunately, my belt was damaged in a battle. Alas..."

After everyone arrived, it was naturally time to eat and talk. However, the three girls, Asada Shino, Kaname Madoka, and Rika, insisted on sitting next to Su Su, which was a bit crowded. So the Venerable called the waiter to take them to the side.

In fact, Su Su had originally planned to have Asada Shino present when he was fooling the Venerable, so that he wouldn't have to think of a way to express his character to Asada Shino again. But it seemed inappropriate to let the other two girls sit at other tables and leave Asada Shino here, so Su Su didn't stop it in the end.

At worst, I can just put in a little more effort and perform it again later...

When there were only Su Su and the Venerable at the table, the Venerable began to test them without a doubt.

But...

You? Knight?

How dare you tell this lie in front of the Knight Creator...

Su Su glanced at the Venerable with a subtle look, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. Then he looked at the Venerable with a half-smile.

"It seems that the information confidentiality of the Special Affairs Office or the Super Power Department is not enough - but since the two girls in the Super Power Department don't know you, then I guess you got the information from the Special Affairs Office?"

"Well, Venerable Sir, since you have invited me to the banquet, let's not beat around the bush. You came to me because you must be very aware of my abilities. So you came to me to help you repair your 'damaged' belt, right?"

"I can tell you straight away, no problem, but I don't know how well you know me. When I repair, maintain, or activate and upgrade your belt, it's never free. Instead, it requires you to pay a lot of money."

"Maintenance and repair costs ten kilograms of gold each time, and upgrades cost ten to thirty kilograms each time depending on the difficulty. I believe you should be able to afford this price, so you can always bring the gold and the belt to me at this address at the time specified on it."

Without waiting for the Venerable to say anything, Su Su took the lead in throwing out the settings he had already thought of. While speaking, he took out an ordinary-looking paper business card from his jacket pocket, then turned it upside down on the table and pushed it towards the Venerable.

The Venerable frowned slightly as he looked at the business card that Su Su pushed over to him, then he reached out and gently took it, holding it in his hand and glanced at it.

There is no conventional text such as name and position on the business card, just a time range and an address - the time range is Monday to Friday from 6pm to 8pm, and the address...

After quickly going over the address in his mind, the Venerable immediately realized that the address should be near a large abandoned building complex.

"...Mr. Su Su is really straightforward. Okay, I understand. If that's the case, I won't say any more. I will visit you as soon as possible."

Obviously, Su Su's frankness surprised the Venerable, but it must be said that Su Su's pure transaction style made the Venerable secretly relieved.

Although the price is indeed very expensive, so expensive that even the Venerable is a little shocked - ten kilograms of gold, converted into Japanese yen, is about 130 million. The Venerable's Wuxiang Shenjiao has been around for a short time, and has not yet reached the level of the big chaebols who treat money as a number, not to mention that hard currency such as gold cannot be simply regarded as an equivalent currency.

But even so, this kind of clearly priced transaction is much cheaper than ambiguous favors and relationships.

"Very good, then I wish our transaction can be concluded happily!"

After hearing the Venerable's response, Su Su also showed a satisfied expression at the right time. Of course, in fact, Su Su was indeed very satisfied in his heart at this time.

The minimum amount is ten kilograms of gold at a time. Now, don’t you have the money to make your own common sense tampering base?

Of course, more importantly...

Taking this opportunity, Su Su can use the Venerable to promote his own advertisement!

After going around in circles for so long, Su Su finally returned to the process of letting the knights get to know him, and then come to him to repair and upgrade their belts - with the help of this process, Su Su will eventually be able to successfully engrave on all the knights' belts!

You can even make money at the same time!

And those knights not only had to willingly hand over their belts to me so that I could leave my own mark, but they also had to pay me for it...

168. New Ways to Gain Experience

Sakura has been quite angry lately - so much so that she has recently developed a bad habit of drinking.

In fact, Sakura used to hate alcoholism. After all, as a genius researcher, Sakura couldn't stand her brain being in an unconscious state, but now...

bang-

The wine bottle in her hand slipped and fell to the ground with a crisp clatter. Sakura looked at the fallen bottle and the large number of documents scattered on the ground that were soaked by the spilled wine, and she couldn't help but hammer the sofa under her hard.

"What a bunch of short-sighted idiots! How can you not understand the importance of my experiment! How can this reduce support!"

That's right, Sakura's experiment was terminated - although no one told Sakura explicitly that the experiment was going to be terminated, the support from above kept decreasing, and now basically no experimental materials are being supplied to this project.

So this project is effectively dead.

Of course, this does not refer to the "Second Generation Infected Creation" project that Sakura once led the research and development of - that project is still booming today, the Hound Unit is also highly valued, and even the birth of the second batch of Hounds is already in full swing. Preparations are in full swing, but unfortunately, that project no longer belongs to Sakura.

Moreover, it did not result from a struggle for power, but was handed over by Sakura herself.

In fact, after the technology became more mature, Sakura had the idea of handing the project over to other people, while she devoted herself to studying how to increase the success rate and create more powerful "super soldiers".

After all, in Sakura's view, on the one hand, he is the director of a remote underground research institute. Even if he does not personally control the project, no one can shake his position. Secondly, if he wants to continue to climb up, this research result alone is not enough, he must have more convincing results.

So after some screening, Sakura handed the secondary infection project to a researcher whom she thought was down-to-earth and steady, and then started a new research herself.

Everything was actually pretty good at the beginning. Both projects were progressing steadily, and Sakura could reap the joy of research while also having fun in her research. But then, at some point, things slowly began to change.

First, the experimental materials for Sakura's new project were gradually reduced, and then the financial support became less and less, so that Sakura even had to divert funds and materials from the secondary infected project to continue her own research. In fact, Sakura didn't think there was anything wrong with this at the beginning.

Anyway, both projects are his. What's more, he is the director of the remote underground research institute. Don't he have the final say on how to allocate funds and experimental materials?

But what Sakura never expected was that her action was actually reported to the higher-ups, and the charges were "misappropriation of assets" and "corruption" - damn it, I almost put my own money into the research, and you say I'm corrupt?

Sakura originally thought that the higher-ups would not care about such nonsense at all, not to mention that her research should be highly valued and the higher-ups should not be so short-sighted as to believe in rumors, but the facts gave Sakura a heavy blow.

In this matter, Sakura was indeed not punished, but for Sakura to have climbed to her current position, there were still many things in her past that could not stand up to investigation - and once this is investigated, isn't that the problem?

So Sakura was temporarily suspended pending review, and as for his experimental project...

The secondary infection project was continued to be led by other people, but the further research project was completely cut off from funding and experimental materials and was forced to be suspended.
