‘At the time, the two Little Monster Beans had indeed changed slightly from before, one gained a pair of pigeon wings (angel wings), while the other a pair of bat wings (demon wings).
‘When Zhao Licheng was resurrected, there was a request for animal skin. Now that I look at this, could it be that the calf skin that Janet brought back had turned Zhao Licheng into an ox?
‘But that doesn’t make sense. According to the rules, only 20% of them should have the characteristics of an ox. How did he end up completely becoming an ox?
‘Could humans be different from little monsters?
‘The possibility of that happening should be very low. If they’re different, the system would definitely label it.
‘So, what exactly happened?’
After pondering for a long time, Su Yang decided to wait and see how the system judged Zhao Licheng first. He wanted to know what kind of state he was in.
Su Yang opened the system and read Zhao Licheng’s introduction.
[Monster: Honest Ox]
Introduction: A four-legged monster transformed from the soul of a diligent human. It has a reliable and honest personality and likes to eat grass. After peeling off his skin, it will turn into a human. When wearing his skin, any living being will turn into a willing ox.
‘Monster… Honest Ox?
‘He doesn’t not seem like a simple monster, there’s even an introduction.
‘However, Zhao Licheng’s current situation is clear. It seems like he still has 80% of the characteristics of humans. However, the remaining 20% of the characteristics of monster characteristics just so happens to be [Skin], which resulted in this situation.
‘According to the introduction given to Zhao Licheng, as long as he peels off his skin, he should return to his original appearance. Furthermore, because 20% of his monster characteristics are on his skin, he will not have any other features after becoming human.
‘This is a blessing in disguise!’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang quickly told Zhao Licheng what he knew and led him back to the castle.
He called Janet over and gave her a knife. After giving him some instructions, he watched the two of them enter the bathroom on the first floor.
After a while, Zhao Licheng’s mournful wail came from the bathroom.
The scream was so shrill and intense that it sounded like the scream of a Specter. It scared many little monsters in the castle into coming out to watch. They did not know what was happening.
After a while, the bathroom door opened and a pale-faced man in pajamas staggered out.
He looked like he was in his twenties. His skin was fair and delicate and he was quite handsome.
At first, Su Yang thought that this was Zhao Licheng’s appearance when he was young. However, when he saw Zhao Licheng’s 1.8-meter height, he immediately knew that this was a new body that the [Burning Reincarnation Circus] had given him.
Su Yang came to a realization. ‘Perhaps the moment he chose to revive from the [Burning Reincarnation Circus], he was completely cut off from his past. His soul, race and body are all that of a new living being, Honest Ox.’
When he walked out of the bathroom, Zhao Licheng raised his head and looked at the surrounding little monsters. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes. In the end, his gaze landed on Su Yang and he bowed slightly. “Mr. Su.”
Su Yang nodded and comforted him. “You’ve only just revived. Go take a shower and get some sleep.”
As he spoke, Su Yang called Little Deeny out and introduced her to Zhao Licheng. He said that she was the housekeeper at home and that Zhao Licheng could look for her if he needed anything.
After making the arrangements, Su Yang got Janet to assist Zhao Licheng to his room to rest. ‘We’ll talk further when he wakes up.’
Janet nodded and assisted Zhao Licheng back to his room.
After the two of them left, Su Yang walked into the bathroom. The bathroom was drenched in blood and it was dripping all over the floor. Even the walls were splattered with blood. It looked like a murder scene with a willing ox’s hide laying silently on the floor.
After Su Yang lamented that Janet’s skinning was too rough. He walked over and picked up the oxhide.
When he opened the system, a system interface appeared on the oxhide.
[Special Material: Honest Ox’s Skin]
Ability: After wearing it, you can turn into a willing ox. After peeling off the skin, you shall return to your true form.
Note: The skinning process is very painful.
After looking at the splendid system interface, Su Yang realized. ‘Although this item can be used directly, it’s not a special item strictly speaking. Instead, it’s a Monster Material like [Snow Monster’s Fur] and [Quickgold Monster’s Egg].
‘The only difference between this and the other two is that this skin can be used without adding points onto it. Of course… It may have some other functions after it receives some points?’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang picked up the oxhide on the floor and washed it through the tap before putting it away.
As soon as he put away the [Honest Ox’s Skin], a notification from WeChat sounded in the bathroom.
‘A WeChat notification? Who could that be?’
Curious, Su Yang took out an interface and looked at it. It was from Jiang Yan.
Su Yang opened his WeChat. ‘Su Yang, I’ve transferred the money.’
‘Money?
‘200 million yuan?’
Su Yang asked Little Deeny to check his account. Indeed, there was an additional 200 million yuan in there.
‘Young Master Jiang might look like a girl, but she’s indeed a real man. She’s actually transferred all the money at once.’
Actually, normal acquisitions of shares or company financing were very troublesome. Most of them were public transfers and there would be additional terms and conditions.
Even if it was money, it would not be paid at once, but in batches.
The reason for this was because the investors were optimistic about the company, so they would definitely want the money to be used for the company’s development and not for shareholders to improve their lives.
Therefore, not only would they want to give the money to the company, they would also add a bunch of additional terms to urge the company to develop.
However, neither Su Yang nor Jiang Yan had any urgent need for the two hundred million yuan. The reason why Jiang Yan favored this company was because of Su Yang. Hence, after two discussions, she decided to buy Su Yang’s shares in cash.
The money was now in Su Yang’s hands.
A few days ago, after the two of them talked on the phone and confirmed that there were no problems, they each sent a representative to draft and sign the Shares Transfer Agreement, 200 million yuan to buy 5% of the shares of Jiadian Technology.
Now that the money was in his account, their deal was officially done. Jiang Yan also successfully became a shareholder of one of the technology companies under Jiadian Group.
The two of them have now become closer partners and the Jiangs would reap huge profits from Su Yang’s development. Su Yang’s business in the country would also be smooth sailing because of the Jiangs and he would no longer have to worry about anyone causing trouble.
With the money, a new Silver Mission popped up…
[Beep, triggered a new Silver Mission.]
Su Yang, who had long been calm about Silver Missions, clicked on it.
[Silver Mission: Road To Acquisition]
Mission Objective: Use 500 million yuan to invest or acquire a company.
Mission Time: Half a year.
Note: When you have more money, you will realize that time is the most important thing. Money can buy everything, including time. When you want to start a business or open up a new company, why don’t you just buy it? You will realize that money… Can actually buy time.
The content of the silver mission was within Su Yang’s expectations. Previously, his mission was to earn 10 million yuan, while the second mission was to spend 50 million yuan.
When the 50 million yuan was spent, the system demanded 100 million yuan to be earned.
Now that he had earned 100 million yuan, it was very reasonable for him to spend 500 million yuan.
On the other hand, Su Yang did not expect to buy or invest in a certain company. However, it did not matter. With Little Hus around, he was not afraid of anything!
‘When the time comes, it could take a sniff and see which company is suitable for investment. Then, I’ll just invest 500 million yuan into it.’
Therefore, the moment the mission was announced, Su Yang felt that the Silver Point was already waving itself at him! After all, he was the father of the system!
After informing Little Deeny, he asked her to keep an eye on the companies on the market to see if there were any suitable ones. Su Yang called the Little Monster Beans over to clean the bathroom while he left the castle and went to the courtyard to attend to something big.
The matter was related to Zhao Licheng, who had just been revived.
Previously, Su Yang promised Zhao Licheng that he could meet his family. Now that he was resurrected, even if he were to stall for time, he would still have to fulfill his promise to allow Zhao Licheng to meet his family within a week.
Therefore, Su Yang felt that it was time for him to add points to his Silver Ability [Absolute Verbal Contract].
Actually, there were several ways for Zhao Licheng to meet his family without exposing himself.
For example, Su Yang could use [Memory Editing] to erase the memories of Zhao Licheng’s family. Or, he could “capture” Zhao Licheng’s family and allow them to “meet in their dreams”.
All of the above were feasible.
However, Zhao Licheng had mentioned to Su Yang several times that he wanted to tell his family about some things and even wanted to meet them occasionally.
To put it bluntly, he did not give up. He believed that even if he had changed his body, he could still return to his family.
Even though Su Yang did not think highly of the idea since Zhao Licheng had already become a monster. Furthermore, his appearance and identity were completely different. Thus, how could he possibly return to his family?
However, talented people always had the right to be willful, especially a five-star talent that Su Yang had never seen before. Hence, Su Yang was willing to let him be willful for once.
Of course, another important reason was that the system had also issued a mission regarding Zhao Licheng.
[Advanced Random Mission: Recruit Talents.]
Mission Description: Using a reasonable method to grant Zhao Licheng’s wish, make him feel grateful to you.
Mission Reward: According to the completion of the mission, the reward would be a Random Prize Voucher of varying value.
Note: What does the 21st century lack the most? Talents! Especially five-star talents. They are hard to come by! In the past, there was a case where Liu Bei visited the cottage three times. Today, it will be Su Yang who grants a wish.]
Since the system praised Zhao Licheng and compared him to Liu Bei, Su Yang naturally accepted the mission and agreed to let Zhao Licheng meet his family.
This was also the reason why Zhao Licheng’s loyalty column was [Anticipation].
Of course, even though he had a mission and had high hopes for Zhao Licheng, Su Yang told Zhao Licheng that he had to prove his worth. Otherwise, he and his family would have to pay for his mistake.
Zhao Licheng promised that he would not disappoint Su Yang.
Since the two of them had already made a deal and Zhao Licheng was resurrected, Su Yang had to start preparing for the mission, adding a point onto [Absolute Verbal Contract].
Su Yang called for Little Deeny to keep an eye on him when he arrived at the courtyard of the castle. Then, he turned on the system and prepared to add a point.
