novelWhere Is The Fragrance Coming From?
| ← Ch.654 | Ch.656 → |
'If that's the case, I would have sacrificed too much.
'After all, I only have two kidneys.
'So, is it possible that it isn't my organs?
'What else could it be then?
'My hair?
'That's going to be even stranger... '
At that thought, Su Yang said to Little Hus, "Come in and take a sniff. Are you sure it's on me?"
Moments later, the door creaked open. Su Yang raised his head and looked at the door, but he did not see anything.
In less than two seconds, a dog's head popped out from the bathtub.
It was obvious that Little Hus was too short since after entering the door, the bathtub blocked it completely.
Then, Su Yang knocked its head and asked, "Is the fragrance still on me?"
Little Hus nodded."Yes, it's still there."
Su Yang hesitated."It can't be inside my body, can it? Is it an organ?"
The dog's eyes darted around and then it sniffed continuously. After a while, it said, "It's not an organ, nor is it your hair. The fragrance isn't on the surface, nor is it inside. Instead, it seems like... It's coming from your entire body."
Su Yang was stunned by what Little Hus said. 'Am I supposed to refine myself into a pill then? That'd be too cruel. '
Fortunately, Little Hus's next sentence dispelled his thoughts."Su Yang, I think I know what it is. Could it be the system? Is there an item in your system that you haven't created yet? Or is there something that's still in its preparation stage? Perhaps that's where this fragrance is coming from."
'An item that hasn't been created yet?'
Su Yang's eyes lit up. He opened the system shop silently and looked at the recipe item on the system. [Capsule Of Unknown Abilities (+3)]...
'Could this be it then?
'Could this thing actually fit what I just need right now?
'Wouldn't this be too much of a coincidence then?'
After figuring out what this special item was, Su Yang felt relieved.
Hence, he sent Little Hus away and continued to lie in the bathtub. He looked at the ceiling silently and started to think.
If there was one word to describe his current appearance, it would be "useless".
If one were to use one scene to describe his current posture, it would probably be the scene where someone slit their own wrist...
In other words, the water in Su Yang's bathtub was clear. Hence, if there was a little bit of red in the middle, combined together with his current state, 9 out of 10 people would actually believe that he had slit his wrists and committed suicide.
Su Yang, who was filled with negative energy at that moment, laid in the bathtub as his head was filled with negative emotions.
"Didn't Little Deeny cover her eyes the moment she came in just now? How did she "know" that she had to cover her eyes?
"Zhao Licheng is so pitiful. Cao Qiguang should really be hacked into pieces.
"When can Gru's weird talent be removed... ?
"Is Janet's identity still not taken care of yet? That gang leader won't trick me now, will he?
"Who was it that poisoned Mei Yue?"
...
Anyway, under the influence of negative energy, Su Yang's mind was filled with negative thoughts.
'I'm almost fed up with this world.
'The side effects of [Memory Master] feels really bad... '
...
The next day, Su Yang woke up from his bed. Perhaps it was because he did not wear the [Double-Sided Salted Fish Mask], but he was still affected by the side effects of [Memory Master] when he woke up. Therefore, he was still not in a good mood, but it was not as serious as before.
He and Chu Xia had agreed to continue writing novels at Jiadian E-Commerce Company, so he climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up before driving to the office.
On the way to the office, Su Yang passed by the supermarket and got out of the car to gather all the materials for the [Capsule Of Unknown Abilities].
After that, when he arrived at the office, Chu Xia was already there and was playing Spider in front of the computer.
'I have no idea what's so fun about this game, but it seems as if this game that was born with Windows 98 would always have people playing it.
'Of course... It could also be because she's bored. '
Hence, Su Yang raised his hand and greeted Chu Xia."Good morning."
Chu Xia raised her head and looked at Su Yang. The smile on her face was as vibrant and as beautiful as the morning sun."Good morning, Mr. CEO."
The two of them were too familiar with each other. With just one glance, Chu Xia could tell that something was wrong with Su Yang. She asked, "Are you alright? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Su Yang shrugged."No. Actually, I'm not in a bad mood, but I'm just not in a good mood. I'm in my neutral mode."
After Chu Xia heard that, she took out her bag and took out two Dove chocolates. Then, she passed them to Su Yang."Here, eat this."
Su Yang peeled one and stuffed it into his mouth. Chu Xia's explanation rang in his ears."Chocolate can make people secrete dopamine, which in turn makes people happy."
Su Yang's mind started to wander. He couldn't help but wonder if the negative emotions caused by these special items would stimulate him and make him secrete whatever that was making him uncomfortable, or was it purely an effect through the rules?
'When I'm free, I should let Spirit Building take a look at the related mechanics. Then, we can analyze it together using spiritual energy. '
After he was done with that thought, Su Yang finished the chocolate in his mouth and looked at Chu Xia."Why do you have chocolates with you?"
Chu Xia chuckled."I would have low blood sugar occasionally, so I always have chocolate and candy in my bag."
Su Yang nodded. As he placed the second piece of chocolate into his mouth, he took out the [Squid That Didn't Like To Dive] from the virtual space and placed it on the table. Then, he said, "Come, the squid has been served, so hurry up and write."
Chu Xia was relieved to see Su Yang eating the chocolate."Okay!"
Then, she wrinkled her nose and pursed her lips into a line. She waved her fists and said, "I have to work hard to write 20, 000 words today!"
Su Yang chuckled."Only 20, 000 words? I remember that there are a few masters who can write 20, 000 words a day on a certain website. You're only able to catch up to the speed of someone who doesn't have cheats on when you yourself have it. Can you not be so unambitious?"
Chu Xia snorted softly."How do you know they haven't cheated?"
Su Yang pondered for a while and nodded."That's true. I guess there won't be many who would actually believe if someone were to be able to write 20, 000 words without cheating."
Then, Chu Xia started typing like a butterfly and lines of lively stories danced on the computer screen.
Seeing that Chu Xia was engrossed in her writing, Su Yang turned on the system as well. He wanted to see how to make the [Capsule Of Unknown Abilities] that Cao Qiguang was going to be eating.
However, just as he turned on the system, his phone rang.
Su Yang quickly turned off his phone and glanced at Chu Xia.
Chu Xia was still engrossed in her writing, completely unaffected by the ringtone.
Hence, Su Yang took out her phone and took a look, revealing that it was from Tan Mei.
Then, Su Yang walked out of the office and answered the phone. Tan Mei's voice then came through the phone."Mr. Su, I have a few things to report to you today."
Su Yang replied, "Go ahead."
Tan Mei replied, ""Produce 101″ has officially started recording. However, they are recording the entire show. So, before the show ends, all the girls are not allowed to leave. Therefore, we won't be able to know what's going on inside."
When Tan Mei said this, she said it with great deliberation.
Penguin Pictures was not a big company, but it had a strong background, so the rules were very strict. Therefore, there were many matters that Tan Mei had no choice but to compromise, compromise and compromise further.
However, because of that, she did not know if Penguin Pictures would follow through on their promise.
Furthermore, Su Yang was the one who personally picked this show for Mei Yue. She was worried that if anything went wrong, Su Yang would think that she was incompetent.
However, Su Yang already knew about the outcome of this variety show, so he said directly, "Alright, I got it. You did very well. Even if something goes wrong, it's not your fault."
Hence, Tan Mei heaved a sigh of relief.
Tan Mei continued, "In addition, perhaps because of Han Yi, Lin Jiali has received the attention of some companies in the industry recently, so some projects have also invited Lin Jiali to participate. However, they are all unimportant supporting roles or cameo appearances."
Su Yang did not take these projects lightly just because they would have fewer scenes. 'Who knows, perhaps there might be some amongst them that would be a big hit. Hence, he said, "Gather all those projects for me and I'll take a look."
Tan Mei replied, "Understood."
After saying that, she continued, "Recently, Han Yi's projects have been piling up. I've already filtered out more than ten projects. Shall I give them to you too?"
Su Yang replied, "Yes, give them to me as well. I'll choose for her myself."
Tan Mei said, "Understood."
That was everything that Tan Mei wanted to say.
There were only three artists in Su Yang's management agency at that moment, so everyone's attention was on them.
After chatting with Tan Mei for a while, Su Yang hung up the phone.
'My workload is increasing as my company's growing bigger. I think it would be best if I could find someone to help me manage the whole situation and free myself from my busy work.
'Actually, Zhao Licheng's my candidate to resolve this issue.
'However, Zhao Licheng is probably not in the right state to take over the company now that he was involved in this matter. So, I've got no choice but to deal with this myself. '
Sure enough, just as Su Yang thought that, Pan Zhaodi walked over and reported to Su Yang that Zhao Licheng was absent from work that day.
Knowing Zhao Licheng's current state, Su Yang waved his hand."Let him be. It's fine."
Pan Zhaodi nodded and returned to her office to continue her work.
Returning to his office, Su Yang opened the System Shop again and checked the production steps of the [Capsule Of Unknown Abilities].
The process of creating this item did not seem complicated, nor was it difficult. It was just a job that required patience. 'All I have to do is to grind all of the materials into powder and then mix them together according to a ratio.
'I'll definitely be able to complete this today.
'As long as I'm able to have it done today, I'll use [Hands Of Fate] to drug Cao Qiguang.
'When that happens, I'm sure this animal will soon get the punishment he justly deserves. '
Furthermore, Su Yang had also thought about it. 'If he's received his punishment, it's highly likely that he won't be in the mood to manage the company anymore based on the innate personality of a man. In that case, it's going to be extremely advantageous for both me and Zhao Licheng when we empty out Xinli Education.
'This is literally a plan that allows me to kill two birds with one stone.
'So... I'll get this produced today and drug Cao Qiguang!'
