Chapter 1425
Chapter 1425 In Modern Day 23 “These dried mushrooms don’t look… very delicious . ” Rozanne looks at the bag of dried mushrooms in my hand seriously for a few seconds before replying hesitantly . It’s obvious that she’s a little embarrassed to say that the mushroom looks dry and black—it causes alarms to go off, and it can hardly whet up an appetite . After all, I’d offered it out of kind intentions .

Hehe… I take this opportunity to change the topic .

“What’s your drink called?”

Rozanne immediately turns around and picks up the beverage bottle on the table . She says with a smile, “This is it! The design looks cool, right?”

The beverage bottle has a streamlined design with a footprint theme . The name is:

“Reporter . ”

That’s different from mine… I politely compliment, “Looks good . ”

Rozanne twists the cap that has been opened a long time ago as if she’s preparing to take a sip .

I instinctively want to stop her, but after opening my mouth, I realize that I don’t have a reason .

Furthermore, a third of the Reporter beverage is gone . This means that Rozanne has already drank it . There’s no point in stopping her now .

Gulp… Rozanne lowers the bottle and twists the cap back on .

“It doesn’t taste bad . Try it . ”

“Okay, okay,” I say perfunctorily .

Rozanne doesn’t urge me any further . Instead, she points at the remaining beverage bottles in the plastic bag .

“You can also switch bottles . ”

“No need, there’s no need,” I reply without hesitation .

Either way, I don’t intend to drink it . It doesn’t matter if I switch it or not .

After two seconds of deliberation, I look at Rozanne and probe, “How do you feel after drinking it? Any special sensations?”

“Special sensations? Do you think this is a drug? Erm, it’s moderately sweet and refreshing . The fragrance will definitely be better after chilling it . ” Rozanne says, a little pissed .

She doesn’t look like she’s lying… This means that she probably didn’t obtain superpowers from the Reporter beverage… I subconsciously survey my surroundings and realize that my fellow colleagues have more or less drunk some of Rozanne’s beverages, but none of them show any signs of abnormality .

They don’t even appear dazed or confused .

Could it be that only the Assassin beverage I picked last time has a special effect? I wonder if that’s considered being lucky or not… I quickly control my doubts and wave the Instigator beverage in my hand .

“I’ll need to get down to work . ”

“Go ahead . Don’t let me stop you . ” Rozanne waves her hand casually .

Returning to my seat, I sit down . I look at the Instigator beverage in front of me and fall into deep thought .

After about twenty seconds, I use my large mug meant for drinking water . This is something I prepare for taking pleasant gulps of water . I open the cap of the Instigator beverage and pour the liquid inside .

Although I don’t plan on drinking this beverage, I’m curious about what the liquid inside looks like, and whether it contains some special powers .

Splash . I pour all of the Instigator beverage into my mug .

That’s too little, isn’t it? That definitely isn’t 500 milliliters! I can’t help but look down on this beverage’s manufacturer .

My mug isn’t small, but it usually can’t hold the entirety of a 550-ml bottle of mineral water .

In other words, while there appeared to be quite a bit of “Instigator” in it, the manufacturer had actually cut corners!

Hmm, it’s dark blue . It’s clear, and it’s quite enticing… I carefully observe the liquid in the mug and gather some preliminary information .

Other than that, the drink is no different from anything else, at least not on the surface .

After some thought, I decide to throw something into the mug to see if there will be any changes .

What do I throw? I look around when I suddenly get a bout of inspiration .

Those dried mushrooms!

Anyway, this isn’t something I plan on eating, so I can use it for experiments .

I really am a genius!

Without any hesitation, I tear open the packaging and throw the black dried mushrooms into the dark blue liquid, watching them stretch out and expand slightly .

There aren’t any changes . I’m starting to think that I’m overthinking matters .

Suddenly, messages come from my work’s chat group . I start to get busy .

About fifteen minutes later, I finish my work and raise my head, preparing to stretch my neck .

Suddenly, I see a mushroom!

A white and tender mushroom with red star dots all over it!

…Where did this mushroom come from? I glance over and discover that it’s growing in my mug .

It’s about the size of a palm . Its skin, no—its surface is so tender and supple . On the cap, there are mushrooms of the same breed, just like its hands and feet .

What the hell is this? I’m confused .

At that moment, the mushroom sways and the cap moves upwards as though it has lifted its head .

The two slightly larger red stars that look like eyes meet my gaze .

Just like that, I look at it, and it seems to be looking at me .

A few seconds later, the mushroom reaches out its many “hands,” and using the edge of the mug as leverage, it jumps out .

In the next second, it jumps to the floor and wildly runs towards the office door .

F*ck… I’m still confused .

At the same time, I discover a problem: All of the Instigator beverage in the mug is gone .

Almost subconsciously, I stand up and chase after the mushroom .

I suspect that it’s a product from the fusion of the Instigator beverage and the dried mushrooms!

I have to resolve this accident I caused, as soon as possible!

The mushroom is “short” and extremely fast . It passes through the office without being obstructed, and wasn’t even discovered . On the other hand, I’m stopped by my colleagues several times and have no choice but to slow down .

So, although the mushroom’s footsteps are obviously smaller than mine, it still escapes from the company .

I-it charged into the company next door!

I subconsciously follow .

At this moment, the security guard next door stops me .

“What are you here for?” the tall and strong security guard asks .

My mind races as I come up with an excuse:

“I’m here for Vice President Wu . ”

“Vice President Wu?” The security officer doesn’t believe me . “I’ll ask the front desk . ”

While he’s walking to the front desk, I approach the door and gaze inside .

I’m shocked by what I’m seeing .

The employees of the company next door are either wearing black hooded robes or wearing strange costumes . They’re dancing with something similar to an “Employees’ Dance for Business . ”

A cosplay convention? A masquerade ball? It’s only nine in the morning… I’m confused again, forgetting to sneak inside .

“What’s your boss doing?” I ask when the security guard returns .

It’s so strange!

The security officer shakes his head .

“I don’t know either .

“I’m just a worker . ”

Tsk, the moment I hear that, it’s obvious that he’s trying to draw a clear line between him and them… I press, “Is your boss inside too?”

“Yes, that one over there who isn’t wearing anything,” the security guard replies nonchalantly .

I focus my gaze, and the corner of my mouth twitches involuntarily .

Pervert!
