Chapter 19: Simple Tasks
Seeing the remarks of the system, Yang Ming seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water, and his enthusiasm was suddenly extinguished.
"We are not responsible for all the consequences...... What does that mean? Anyway, can you get a reward?"
The system didn't react at all, as if it were a dead thing.
"If you eat this thing, it won't directly turn into a monster or eat people to death, right?" Yang Ming's expression was a little uncertain.
Then he looked at the selling price again, and it was three question marks, representing a unique product of immeasurable value or irreproducible.
These three question marks tempted him like gold, as if a little hand was scratching in his heart...... It tickled his heart.
There are many unknowns about this Devil Fruit, the only thing that is certain is that it is extremely valuable.
"Made, fight. System, I believe in your discipline, you must not shatter the ground!" Yang Ming hesitated for a moment, stuffed the devil fruit into his mouth, and gnawed it in three or two bites.
"Really...... Sho the same taste. Strange, I haven't eaten Xiang, why do you say that?"
Shake your head and shake the thought out.
Yang Ming waited anxiously.
A minute passed......
Three minutes passed......
A quarter of an hour passed......
Half an hour passed......
Nothing out of the ordinary!
"What kind of devil fruit, the system can't be fooling me, right? This thing is just a flavored eggplant at all!" Yang Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Then, he carefully checked his body again, and there was still no change.
"System. If there's a kind of you, don't make a sound. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Sure enough, there is a kind! Forget it, I'd better research it myself. This Devil Fruit is called the Thunderbolt Fruit. As the name suggests, its abilities are supposed to be related to thunder and lightning...... Give me a discharge. β
Yang Ming's mouth was chattering. Holding the phone in his hand and discharging it with his mind.
Tried and tested, to no avail.
"It's related to lightning, and I can't discharge electricity, do you want me to be struck by lightning? Or, touch the electric door? What if I cross over? Hey, I don't seem qualified to say such things, and I haven't crossed it once or twice. The key question is to travel through the past, can you come back?"
Yang Ming diverged his thinking and opened his mind. After thinking for a while, I came over with a No. 5 battery and connected it to the wire.
Then, an undetectable energy poured into his body and disappeared in an instant. If it weren't for the fact that his perception was different from ordinary people, I am afraid that he would not even be able to feel these energies.
Yang Ming looked for a few more batteries, and realized yΓ n again, this time he experienced it carefully, and found that the energy from the batteries entered the body. Disappeared near the middle of the body.
"Is the ability given to me by the Devil Fruit to absorb the energy of thunder and lightning? Shouldn't it be that simple, where does the absorbed energy go?"
Yang Ming analyzed in his heart.
"Energy doesn't disappear in a vacuum, there should be two possibilities in this situation, one is that it was absorbed and digested by my body. The other is to store it. β
"Discharge. β
Yang Ming tried to discharge himself again. Unfortunately, there was still no response.
"There are still two possibilities, one is absorbed and digested by my body, and the other is that there is too little energy. In other words, a certain key is not thoroughly understood and cannot be released temporarily. β
Yang Ming secretly guessed. Look at the electric door on the wall.
"With my physique, I'm not as good as Superman. But compared to bats and werewolves, it should not be inferior, and household electricity will not be dangerous. β
Thinking like this, Yang Ming reached out to touch the electric door, and he didn't feel palpitations and alarms before touching the wire, which proved that household electricity was not dangerous to him at all.
Martial arts masters have six senses far beyond ordinary people, and if someone stares at him, he will be aware of it, and when he encounters danger, his body will naturally react.
When danger comes, he will be whimsical and inductive in advance, which is also an important reason why Yang Ming dares to touch the electric door.
"W-"
The current enters the body and makes a "zizi" sound.
Yang Ming felt a tyrannical energy pour into his body, and finally disappeared near the middle point in his chest.
If the energy of the battery is compared to a completely harmless rabbit, then household electricity is like a lone wolf that has been hungry for a long time, and the lethality and destructive power of the two are not at the same level at all.
Yang Ming finally felt that there was a change in himself, and a strange feeling of mystery and mystery came to his mind, he couldn't tell it, he didn't know it, and he knew it in the dark - he could control the power of "electricity".
"Discharge. β
Yang Ming followed this feeling and recited silently.
"Zila......"
A faint spark of electricity flashed between his index finger and thumb.
"This is the power of the Thunderbolt Fruit, but it's too weak. β
If the battery is a white rabbit and the household electricity is a hungry wolf, then the electricity he releases is a pet cat, and I am afraid that he can't even deal with ordinary people.
"It seems that there is still a need for more practice. β
Yang Ming muttered to himself, the Devil Fruit ability can be improved according to the use and exercise of the ability, so as to obtain stronger strength, and the exertion of its ability is all in the use of the user.
β¦β¦
There was no news from Hou Liyong's side, but Qi Anyan's call came.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Ming drove to Qi's house.
The Qi family lives in the Nanhai community, which is an ordinary-looking high-end community, but the security forces in the shadows are tighter than other communities.
"Actually, it's my dad who wants to see you this time. β
Qi Anyan picked him up downstairs in the community, and while the two went upstairs, she said.
I knew it wasn't that easy to make me a guest.
Yang Ming muttered secretly in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and there was just a hint of nervousness on his face, and he said, "Ah, didn't you say it earlier, what is Minister Qi looking for me?"
Speaking of which, he is still a national security incumbent and belongs to Boss Qi's subordinates, but he has never seen the true face of this big man so far.
"Don't be nervous, it's not a report, it's just a guest. Qi Anyan said casually. She has seen Yang Ming's reaction a lot, and she is used to it. Who doesn't know that the one in her family is a spy leader who specializes in digging people's privacy. Basically, everyone who comes to her house as a guest will be a little nervous and restrained when they arrive at her house. It's just that some people hide deeply, and some people will show it on their faces.
Simple?
Yang Ming scolded and joked with a smile: "It turns out that it's not about work, so is it considered to be seeing parents?"
Qi Anyan glanced at him, opened the door, and walked in.
Yang Ming changed his shoes, followed to the living room, and looked left and right, this is a duplex structure building. The decoration is not luxurious and luxurious, but the decoration is very warm, which is slightly different from what he imagined.
"Dad, Yang Ming is here. Qi Anyan shouted upstairs.
"Xiao Yang is here, let him come up. A calm male voice came from upstairs.
"My dad is in the study, you go see him first, otherwise people are sitting here, and their hearts are not here. Qi Anyan took Yang Ming upstairs, and said empathetically as she walked.
Yang Ming nodded. casually asked, "Aunt Yao, isn't it?"
Qi Anyan said: "She lives in the court. β
Yang Ming smashed his mouth, it seems that the relationship between the two is not very harmonious, but the relationship between the two is shallow and deep, and it is not good for him to inquire about the leader's family affairs in person.
The study arrived. Qi Anyan pushed open the door and said, "Right here, you go in first." β
"Minister Qi. Yang Ming entered the house. He shouted to the middle-aged man sitting behind an old wooden desk, who was his immediate boss. His name is Qi Guohong.
"Xiao Yang, that's good. It is indeed a talent, don't be restrained, sit down. Qi Guohong looked at Yang Ming for two or three seconds and said with a smile.
He has been paying attention to Yang Ming for a long time, and when Yang Ming and Qi Anyan first came into contact and stuffed him into Guoan, he had already paid attention to it, and later there was a racing track attack, and he began to pay attention to Yang Ming, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. It's just that a series of things happened later, one thing is bigger than one thing, and he is more and more surprised by this young man who broke into the capital, at that time he still wanted to continue to observe and pay attention to it, but a few days ago, Qian Feng was attacked, so he had to recruit him personally.
"What are Qibu's orders?" Yang Ming sat down opposite him with a smile, his expression calm. For this kind of agent leader, if your acting skills are not at home, don't disguise them in front of him.
"Good lad, I've wanted to see you a long time ago. Qi Guohong encouraged.
"Qi Bu has won the award. Yang Ming said with a smile.
"You've done a few things well before, but you've been a little reckless lately. It's good for young people to be high-spirited, but don't be too impulsive. Qi Guohong said lightly, as if he meant something.
"I don't know what Qi Bu is talking about?" Yang Ming asked knowingly. If someone else hears this kind of words, I am afraid that they will be sincerely afraid, but Yang Ming doesn't feel anything, he has seen many big people, even the emperor has pretended, and he will care about this majesty.
"The matter of the Qian family's kid, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?" Qi Guohong said in a deep voice.
"It's wrong, it really has nothing to do with me. Yang Ming opened his eyes and said nonsense. Regarding this matter, there are not a few people who know that he is behind the scenes, but he believes that no one can get hold of the evidence.
Qi Guohong looked at him like electricity, as if he wanted to pierce him with his gaze.
Yang Ming also looked back without avoidance, without the slightest weakness, he believed that Boss Qi recruited him over, and he would never punish him for this matter, otherwise he would not have to let him come to the house.
"Well, whether this matter has anything to do with you or not, someone has decided that it is you. Qi Guohong retracted his gaze, and then said lightly: "This kind of thing is very unfavorable to the stability of the situation, and I have already helped you suppress it." β
"Minister, you have worked hard, you drink water. Yang Ming said with a smile. I thought to myself, I said how could the surnamed Hou not move, it turned out that someone held them down first.
Qi Guohong felt that it was very difficult to talk to him, this kid didn't play cards according to the routine at all, so he simply made his words clear, and said directly: "The situation has stabilized temporarily, and I have spent a lot of effort on this matter." But after all, the other side has suffered a loss, and you have to make concessions on your side, and you can't stay in the country. β
"What!" Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, a little unhappy. I finally tossed out some family money, and let me go away, how can this work? But it's not good to get angry directly, people have good intentions after all. "Otherwise, you don't know about it, and let them come straight at me. β
"Don't be angry, it's only temporary. It's just for you to get out of the limelight. Qi Guohong's voice was slightly deep, no one dared to speak to him like this for a long time. There was a pause. said with a pleasant face: "On the surface, this is a punishment for you." In fact, there is a task to be given to you. β
"Mission?"
Yang Ming understood a little, and after doing it for a long time, it turned out that he wanted him to contribute, so he gave a red date first.
"What task?"
Qi Guohong didn't answer immediately, but first took a sip of tea, then took out a file bag, and said: "This is your file in Guoan, after you take this task, the file will be destroyed." There is no internal existence within the state system. And your task is known only to me and the chief. β
As soon as he heard this, Yang Ming felt a sense of heaviness coming over his face. There are often such plots in spy war TV series, when someone is asked to go on a dangerous mission, the relationship is set aside first, and if there is an accident, the organization is not responsible.
"What the hell is the mission?"
"The task is very simple......," Qi Guohong said slowly.
Yang Ming's heart couldn't help jumping, he was not afraid that you would be troublesome, but afraid that you would say simple. As soon as you hear this kind of thing...... It's not very believable.
"Actually, you need to assist someone and help them complete their tasks. Qi Guohong said.
I went and said it was so scary, it turned out to be an assist.
Yang Ming scolded him. He asked, "Who is it?" and what is his mission?"
"The person you want to assist is called Ji Ruonan, and the specific task will be after you meet her. She'll sΓΉ you. Qi Guohong said.
"Ji Ruonan, it sounds like a woman...... name," Yang Ming muttered. The more I talked, the more familiar I felt, as if I had heard it somewhere. "I remembered. It turned out to be her. β
Yang Ming once heard Luneng say that there are four beauties in the capital, Ji Qi and Han Xi. He had met two of them, Qi Anyan and Han Qianya. The youngest one is still studying abroad, and it is inconvenient for this person to mention more, and it is easy to be caught by river crabs if he talks too much. The longest one is Ji Ruonan, when he can afford this, Luneng is vague, with a look of awe, only knowing that this person is not in the country now, but there are still legends about her in the capital.
Yang Ming also knew that this person's name also had the effect of deterring, and when the people said that she was like a forbidden cicada, even Hou Liyong mentioned her, but he was cautious and did not dare to make a mistake.
"Yes, that's her. Qi Guohong nodded, as if he was very sure that what he said was the same person as Yang Ming was thinking, and there was a hint of regret in his tone. "You know her, it's more convenient. She's in Insia now, and when you get over, just listen to her arrangement. β
Yang Ming frowned slightly, and said, "If I go on a mission, what will happen to the domestic business?"
"When you go abroad, you can also operate remotely by phone and video, and you have never been in charge of business in the capital. Qi Guohong's implication is that it is the same with you and without you, in order to calm his heart, he said: "Don't worry, your business will also help this task, and I will help you keep an eye on it later." β
With your words, I am relieved. Yang Ming smiled, and with the assurance of Big Boss Qi in person, it was difficult to think about a career that would not go well.
"When am I going?"
"The sooner the better. β
β¦β¦
"What did he tell you?" Qi Anyan asked when she saw him coming down from the upper floor.
"Secret!" Yang Ming said with a smile.
"Rare. Qi Anyan cut disdainfully.
"By the way, I'll ask you about someone. Yang Ming said: "Ji Ruonan." β
"Eldest sister, what are you asking her for?" Qi Anqi said.
"It's also a secret. Yang Ming said.
"It's a mystery. β
Qi Anyan glanced upstairs, muttered, and then said: "The eldest sister is the woman I admire the most, if you choose the five most capable women in the world, the eldest sister must be one of them." β
"That's an exaggeration. Yang Ming said.
"It's not an exaggeration at all, it seems to me that Angela, Michelle, and Hillary are not as good as the eldest sister. Qi Anyan snorted lightly, hearing Yang Ming say this, she was a little upset for Ji Ruonan. Then he sighed again and said, "It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time, and I was born at the wrong time." β
"So powerful!" Yang Ming showed an excited look, guiding her to speak.
"Of course. When I was in junior high school, my teachers asked my classmates to write about their dreams when they grew up, some wanted to be teachers, some wanted to be policemen, some wanted to go to space, and some wanted to be stars. Guess what my eldest sister wrote at that time?" Qi Anyan's desire to pour out was really aroused by him, and he began to pour out some secrets.
"I don't know. Yang Ming followed her words.
"She wants to be emperor. Qi Anyan said.
"Uh......" Yang Ming didn't know what to say.
"There are many people who want to be emperors, some people have empty ideals but no ability, some people have ideals and ability but no power, and some people have ideals, ability and power but are not born at the right time. The eldest sister is the last type of person...... Do you say that in the current situation, is it possible for a female emperor to appear?" Qi Anyan said quietly, with a lot of regret in her tone.
"This ...... It's hard to say, it's not likely. Yang Ming frowned, he was not a righteous ruler, he didn't have such a far-sighted vision, so he could only say vaguely.
"You also look down on women. Qi Anyan glanced at him indignantly.
"Absolutely not!" Yang Ming immediately said, this position must be clear, and there must not be a little ambiguity.
Qi Anyan snorted lightly, and then said: "Since she went to college, the eldest sister has begun to cultivate the abilities of the people around her, and Qianya's current ability to run the Golden Jade Hall was taught to her by the eldest sister at that time. After college, the eldest sister began to enter the office, and it took almost a year to get a group of people, including more than 100 leaders at the county, city and provincial levels. Later......"
Yang Ming couldn't help but smash his tongue, this time he was really shocked. "What happened?" he asked.
Qi Anyan said with some indignation: "I don't know how they thought about it, but later Grandpa Ji came forward, together with a group of people, and took away all the power in the hands of the eldest sister." And this is not worrying, and finally the eldest sister was driven out of the country......"
"You know Ji ...... Sister Ji, what is she doing now?" Yang Ming suddenly felt that this task was really not so simple. Now it seems that Ji Ruonan is by no means on vacation abroad, nor is he being assigned, and it is very likely that he is carrying out a certain task or an amazing plan. He now also knows why all the people in the government are very in awe of Ji Ruonan, just by her means, she clearly wants to yin you, you can't run.
"This, I don't know, the eldest sister hasn't been in touch with us for a long time. Qi Anyan said.
Yang Ming said in his heart, sure enough...... Why do you say that it is? (To be continued......)
