n“No problem!”

n

n

nWang Siyu agreed to Jiang He’s request after considering it for just a few seconds, and quickly went on to say, “No, let’s talk about tonight’s operation.”

n

n

n“In the Feral attack incident at Baitugang Village last night, our on-the-scene observation and deduction led us to believe that there are probably three Ferals, with the most powerful one being a rank-two Feral.”

n

n

n“Our team would have a rank two martial artist and a class-D Awakened with superstrength on the frontline.”

n

n

n“In turn, we will be in charge of support. We’ll be gathering in front of my house at nine in the evening.”

n

n

nWith the arrangements made, Wang Siyu then said, “Li Fei, the weapons you requested are made by our munitions squad. They have prepared a cultivation manual for you as well, so collect it later.”

n

n

n“Alright!”

n

n

nLi Fei’s eyes brightened, and he excitedly drove off in his BMW.

n

n

nIt was only then that Wang Siyu turned to Jiang He.

n

n

nShe looked like she had a lot to say but kept hesitating, before eventually letting out a long sigh and telling him, “I’m sorry, Jiang He. My hand is forced. We simply don’t have enough people—I’m just a support-type Awakened, whereas Li Fei only awakened his powers recently, not to mention that he isn’t too familiar with his power and hasn’t been through systematic training. That is why the team is keen on having a beast tamer like you to come attempt communicating with the Ferals.”

n

n

n“Actually, I wanted to see for myself how powerful the Ferals could be.”

n

n

nJiang He shook his head, indicating that he was fine with it.

n

n

nBut the truth was that he was in over his head.

n

n

n‘Beast tamer? Communicating with Ferals?

n

n

n‘Screw me. How am I supposed to do that?’

n

n

nNot only was he misidentified as a beast tamer, but Jiang He himself was using his ‘identity’ as leverage.

n

n

nWhat if he were exposed?

n

n

nNonetheless, Wang Siyu soon left to make preparations, while Jiang He returned inside his home to plant one of the pea seeds.

n

n

nSoon, a tender sprout climbed out of the soil and continued growing rapidly, turning into a beanstalk that stood more than the height of a human.

n

n

n“…System, could you make me some fresh gimmick?” Jiang He scowled and complained just then. “A peashooter would be nice for example, but everything is only trees to you: cucumbers, cultivation manuals. Even peas…”

n

n

nMeanwhile, the beanstalk was already budding.

n

n

nVeins of oily green beans over twenty centimeters long hung over the branches.

n

n

nFrom a single glance, there were probably two hundred pea pods.

n

n

nDing

n

n

nFarm point 1

n

n

nJiang He casually plucked off one particular pea pod and pealed it, revealing twelve emerald-green peas before his eyes.

n

n

nEach pea was the size of a marble, resembling a world as they shone with crystalline green radiance like a pearl, making them a sight to behold.

n

n

nPea

n

n

nInedible, extremely destructive

n

n

nUsage: Throw from long-distances.

n

n

nWarm reminder: It is recommended that the Host drops to the ground and clutches his head with both hands after throwing to stay immune from damage.

n

n

nIn his head, an exclamation was bursting out.

n

n

n‘What the…’

n

n

nAre you mocking me?

n

n

nPea bomb?

n

n

nTaking a deep breath to calm himself, Jiang He came to a realization then. “I wonder how powerful they are… urgh, forget it. I don’t want my house to get blown up.”

n

n

nHe had intended to test the peas in his yard, but ultimately rejected the idea.

n

n

nThe stuff he got System couldn’t be measured with common sense. While it would be acceptable if his house was blown up when he threw out a pea, what if he scared his neighbors as well?

n

n

nFrom a rough estimate, there were probably two hundred pea pods.

n

n

nAnd there would be twelve pea bombs inside.

n

n

n“Twenty-four hundred bombs?”

n

n

n“And if I had planted all three pea seeds, I would have gotten over seven thousand?”

n

n

nHe hence started plucking every pea pod and emptied the peas inside into his System backpack whilst keeping an eye on the System. The pea seed eventually yielded him 200 farm points, 20 EXP and 2400 bombs of unknown force.

n

n

n“Let’s have corn today to celebrate instead! No cucumbers!”

n

n

n***

n

n

nSoon, it was night.

n

n

nJiang He checked his phone to realize it was 8:50.

n

n

nPutting on a tracksuit and trainers, he tucked Dumbo in before casually heading to Wang Siyu’s home.

n

n

nThere was an MPV parked up front, with Li Fei in the driver’s seat.

n

n

nAnother man who looked around thirty was riding shotgun, and in the backseat was Wang Siyu and a young girl who looked just short of twenty.

n

n

nEveryone got off the car when they saw Jiang He coming, with Wang Siyu coming to him and introducing the man and the girl. “Brother Su, Liu Xue. This is Jiang He, whom I’ve spoken of before. He is an Awakened, and his power is beast taming.”

n

n

n“Hello.”

n

n

nThe man, who was wearing a black trench coat stayed impassive as he came to shake Jiang He’s hand. “I’m Su Ze,” he said coolly, “an apprentice of the Eight Trigram school and rank-two martial artist.”

n

n

n“Greetings.”

n

n

nSince the other man had already announced himself, Jiang He felt compelled to say something as well.

n

n

nAfter musing to himself for a bit, he then said, “I’m Jiang He, an Awakened who is good at… walking dogs?”

n

n

nSnort!

n

n

nWang Siyu and the girl couldn’t help giggling, whereas Su Ze appeared displeased, and shot the former a frown. “Wang Siyu, there are lives at stake. Don’t you think you would make a mess of things, asking an inexperienced Awakened to help?”

n

n

n“This came with permission from above, Brother Su.” Wang Siyu replied.

n

n

nIt was obvious that there was a rift between her and Su Ze.

n

n

nOn the other hand, the other young girl had an earnest smile on her face. “Your village is so impressive, Sister Siyu… you actually have three Awakened. And is Brother Jiang He really a beast tamer? This is the first time I’ve met one! Could you get me a Feral as a pet?”

n

n

n“…”

n

n

nJiang He was about to speak, but Wang Siyu rebuked her. “No, Liu Xue. The Ferals are too wild—how could they be tamed as pets?”

n

n

nThen, Wang Siyu leaned into Jiang Yu and whispered into his ear. “Don’t underestimate her. This little lady is seventeen and tiny like a loli, but she has awakened to her powers over half a year now and joined the Bureau earlier than I did. She had since learnt to control her powers well, and although she’s a D-class Awakened with superstrength as well, she is more than ten times better than Li Fei.”

n

n

n“Oh?”

n

n

nSurprised, Jiang He asked, “What sets those who awakened superstrength apart, though? For example, how strong can a D-class Awakened with superstrength be?”

n

n

n“If their development is right, a D-class Awakened with superstrength wouldn’t be weaker than a rank two martial artist. The strength of their punch could reach two thousand kg.”

n

n

n“Woah!!”

n

n

n2,000 kg?!

n

n

nJiang He almost didn’t stop himself from cursing right there and then.

n

n

nWhat on earth? A 2,000 kg punch?!

n

n

nHe quietly estimated his power then.

n

n

nPerhaps…

n

n

n“That little lady is as strong as I am?”

n

n

nSu Ze couldn’t help frowning when he saw Jiang He and Wang Siyu whispering to each other, and hence spoke out loud. “Let’s go. We’ll talk about the mission arrangements on the way there.”
