Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the chain of violent explosions erupted, the towering altar was completely destroyed. Even the small island trembled several times amid the blasts. Near the Anomaly Point, Shen Fei and Ada listened to the distant explosions, glanced back at the rising smoke, and passed through the Anomaly Point.
Afterward, Shen Fei directly closed the Anomaly Point. When they left the cave and emerged at the altar on this side, he blew up the altar and cave here as well.
If there had been an archaeologist here at that moment, they would have fought him to the death. The patterns around the altar and the murals inside the cave were all precious cultural relics.
Ada found it somewhat regrettable, but she did not say much. After all, she was an agent, not an archaeologist. Adventure was merely her hobby; she had no desire to become famous through it.
Just like some wealthy young people enjoyed clubbing, skydiving, and racing.
As for Shen Fei, he wanted fame even less. Keeping a low profile was the way to go—one could say it was Shen Fei's motto. If he wanted to become famous, all he had to do was expose his identity, and he would definitely become a regular in the newspapers and news reports.
"You're leaving." In Shen Fei's small villa in New York, Ada said this not long after they returned.
"I have a mission." Ada smiled. "I've taught you everything I should. From here on, you'll have to rely on yourself. Of course, if you have any jobs, you can give them to me—as long as there's payment."
"Alright. Then help me with four things first. Once I finish researching the Enhancement Serum, I can provide it to you as payment." After thinking for a moment, Shen Fei said this.
"Let's hear them." Ada smiled.
"First, help me investigate a missing child named Peter. He was probably in his teens when he disappeared. His mother seemed to have died from a brain tumor or cancer, while his father vanished without a trace. He went missing around ten or twenty years ago." The person Shen Fei was referring to was Star-Lord, also known as an idiot.
Perhaps people had called him an idiot and Star-Lord so often that Shen Fei only knew his first name was Peter. He had no idea what his surname was, where he was from, or when exactly he had disappeared from Earth. Who remembered that much from a movie?
"That'll be very difficult to find. Do you have any other clues?" Ada immediately asked.
"Also, he's American, and the state where he lived should have at least four characters in its name. That's all I know for now. This isn't urgent, so take your time. A few years should be fine."
"I'll do my best." Ada nodded directly.
Why Shen Fei was looking for someone who had been missing for so long was outside Ada's scope of concern.
"The second matter is simpler. I need Vibranium."
"I'll make some contacts, but the price will probably be very high." As a freelance agent, Ada knew about certain expensive goods on the black market.
"Money isn't a problem. I need it as soon as possible, and the more the better. At least thirty kilograms." Shen Fei waved a hand, looking every bit the wealthy tycoon.
"The third thing is that I need Blood Orchids. Find a way to get them, or find out where they can be found—either will do." Shen Fei had only recently learned of the Blood Orchid, rumored to grant eternal youth.
Shen Fei had heard the news from the hacker community. It had to be said that hackers possessed far too much information unknown to the public. Although much of it was fabricated to scam money, some of it might be real.
When he first heard about the Blood Orchid, Shen Fei had been somewhat surprised, because he recognized the name. It was from Anaconda. At first, Shen Fei had thought the legend was unreliable, but considering that the Umbrella Corporation, Anomaly Points, and Marvel all existed in the same world...
Perhaps Blood Orchids really did exist.
"Isn't that supposed to be a legend?" Ada looked somewhat surprised.
Sure enough, no woman was unconcerned with the legend of the Blood Orchid. It promised eternal youth, after all. Compared to men, women were far crazier about such things. In the underground world, the bounty on Blood Orchids was extremely high, especially recently. Someone had offered an enormous sum, and that was precisely how Shen Fei had learned about them.
They had the same effect as the G-Virus in Sherry's body.
Now that Shen Fei had obtained a G-Virus sample, creating something that could preserve youth forever was not impossible. Even so, Blood Orchids still held great importance for Shen Fei.
Since snakes could grow so enormous after consuming Blood Orchids, the flowers should possess incredibly powerful vitality—assuming Blood Orchids truly existed, of course.
"I know, but someone recently offered a huge reward for them, so they probably exist. Just keep an eye on any related intelligence. Don't try to look for them yourself. That place is very dangerous." The Giant Python guarding the Blood Orchids would not be easy to handle. Ada was quite capable, but facing a Giant Python would still be extremely dangerous.
"You seem to know quite a lot about this sort of intelligence." Ada asked with a smile.
"I'm a billionaire now, after all." The advantage of being rich was that once you put out word, people would bring things right to your doorstep. That was called catering to one's preferences.
For example, there were professions specializing in providing wealthy people with special ingredients: premium caviar, A5 beef, high-grade truffles, and so on. As long as one could afford the price, they would deliver them to one's door and guarantee freshness.
There were ingredient appreciation events, art auctions, antique auctions, and many other events specifically prepared for the wealthy.
Although Shen Fei had not attended such events yet, he had heard quite a bit about them from Pepper. These were gatherings that ordinary socialites often attended. Many of the paintings hanging in Tony's villa had been acquired through such auctions.
Shen Fei had not heard of a single one of those painters. As for paintings, the most famous one he knew of was the Mona Lisa's smile, and its painter had long been dead. He had not heard of a single modern painter. They simply were not in the same circles.
Tony did not attend those events because he found them interesting. With his character, which never considered others, the reason he attended such functions was to pick up women.
As for so-called socialites, all one needed was enough money.
As the mysterious chairman of Feifei Group, Shen Fei received quite a few invitations. He simply had never wanted to attend such events.
"Then what's the last thing?"
"For the last one, I need you to find something. The prerequisite is that you first find a book. The location is probably Norway, and its contents are roughly..." Shen Fei then told her everything he knew about the Berserker Staff.
Although Shen Fei had consciously been searching for books related to Norse mythology from the beginning, including all kinds of novels, he had initially thought there would not be many. Who would have thought that after looking into it, he discovered there were quite a few foreign novels similar to those on Qidian? As a result, he still had no leads even now.
He had no choice but to rely on Ada's help.
Of course, he could keep waiting for some chuuni to dig that thing up, but who knew how long that would take?
"Remember, once you find it, absolutely do not touch it. It's somewhat dangerous to ordinary people."
"Looks like you know what it is?"
"That's right, but as for exactly what it is, I can only tell you after you bring it to me. Also, come by in a month. By then, I should be able to finish the serum." Shen Fei stood up as he spoke, then continued, "Where do you want to go? I'll send you."
"Then I'll have to thank you." Ada named a place, and Shen Fei sent her there through a Portal.
"I hope you don't disappoint me." Of the four tasks, the last was a test for Ada. If she did not bring him the Berserker Staff, Shen Fei would need to change some of his future plans.
