Young Master Qin's Shock

Qin Mingze.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Fu Qian readily picked up.

"You're not home?"

The person on the other end sounded confused.

"I'm eating downstairs."

"Rare indeed, you're actually going out to eat in person!"

Qin's voice held a hint of mockery.

"Are you by any chance at my doorstep?"

"What do you think? Hurry back, I went back to my hometown this weekend and brought you some local specialties...

Never mind, I'll come down to find you. I have something else to do later, I'll just leave the stuff at your door."

Fu Qian couldn't have asked for more and immediately agreed, hanging up the phone.

As a seasoned homebody, this brother, Qin Mingze, was one of Fu Qian's few friends.

He was a few years older than Fu Qian and could be described as a talented young man.

He came from a privileged background, was a sports star, a social butterfly, fluent in five foreign languages, and a graduate of a prestigious university at a young age.

He was currently interning at a large law firm, aspiring to become a professional legal shark.

Someone like him should have been completely unrelated to Fu Qian, yet they inexplicably became friends.

In his own words, "Without a professional keeping an eye on you, you'd definitely become a destabilizing factor that harms society. Seeing you gives me a strange sense of mission."

Five minutes later, a tall figure pushed open the door of the McDonald's and walked towards Fu Qian.

"You're finally going out, and you can't eat something healthy... Holy crap!"

Qin Mingze, dressed in a suit and tie, stopped two steps away from Fu Qian.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"What the hell... happened to you?"

"Oh, I've been working out recently."

Facing Qin Mingze's inexplicable astonishment, Fu Qian had already prepared an answer and now wore an innocent expression.

He knew the changes to his body were somewhat exaggerated.

He was already tall but rather thin, looking like a twig next to Qin Mingze.

But after transforming into a brute, although he still wasn't as imposing as Qin Mingze, he was completely different now, exuding a sense of robust strength all over.

"You work out too? And you got this fit so fast! We haven't seen each other in ages!"

Qin Mingze, now seated, still couldn't believe reality.

"Every trade has its specialty."

Fu Qian continued to blather.

"But weren't you on the verge of bankruptcy?"

"That's why I need to invest in myself more. I'm planning to change my path, and living off a rich woman is now officially on my career plan."

Until he left, Qin Mingze was still in shock, shaking his head repeatedly as he looked at Fu Qian's physique.

"Indeed, everyone has their own talent. I don't know how much hardship I'd have to endure to get like this, I'd rather trade it for three foreign languages."

"You're naturally cut out for living off a rich woman. I'll introduce you to a few wealthy ladies in a couple of days. Don't forget me when you're rich and famous."

"You're too kind, too kind. I won't forget your discerning eye for talent, brother."

After the shocked Young Master Qin left, Fu Qian slowly returned home and found two large cardboard boxes placed at his doorstep.

Did he really think I'd starve to death?

Fu Qian blinked and carried the boxes inside.

[Today's Work Commenced]

[Warning, Containment Breach]

[Name: Cocoon Room, Codename: 2-292]

[Today's Work Content Updated: Enter the containment scene of 2-292 and complete re-containment]

Heh!

Familiar style, familiar scent!

This warehouse just can't seem to go a day without a breach.

Entering the warehouse the next day, Fu Qian encountered a breach incident as expected.

The abnormality in the warehouse this time was even stranger.

Phantoms of strange cocoons, one after another, drifted in mid-air, each composed of white and black threads.

The cocoons flickered in and out of existence, occasionally twitching as if something inside was about to come alive.

[Entering 2-292 Containment Scene]

[...1%...3%...10%...50%...98%...100%, Loading Complete]

[Breaking out of the cocoon is a painful process. Human desire for power is endless, yet every step in exploring extraordinary power is fraught with peril.

Unmatured younglings are extremely fragile. Danger can come from anywhere.]

[Containment Objective: Successfully promote Wen Li to Sixth Order]

Hiss!

The moment the containment objective appeared, Fu Qian gasped.

Setting aside who Wen Li was, this was actually a protection mission!

As everyone knew, in almost all games, protection, escort, and rescue missions were the most troublesome.

And they were the ones Fu Qian hated the most.

Just thinking about those NPCs who loved to run around and court death, Fu Qian couldn't help but consider abandoning the mission.

[Select Skills You Wish to Carry]

The familiar skill box reappeared. Fu Qian took a look, and "Thug" was not among the options.

It seemed that thing had completely fused with him and no longer counted as an extra skill.

Fu Qian unhesitatingly brought all his skills.

[Skills: Air Bullet, Internal Organ Critical Hit, Cat School]

[Weapon: None]

The next moment, his vision blurred, and the scene changed.

Fu Qian instantly got ready for battle.

He couldn't help it; his previous encounters had been too memorable.

Every time he appeared, the situation was extremely perilous.

However, this time, it was far beyond his expectations.

Blue sky, clear water, green grass, and shady trees.

What greeted his eyes was a rare and beautiful landscape.

Beneath his feet was a huge circular plaza, all made of white marble-like stone.

Looking further ahead, a row of magnificent and grand white villas stood prominently. Their decoration was luxurious but not ostentatious, exuding an extraordinary presence.

In front of the villas, servants in uniform were busy here and there.

This art style felt wrong!

Fu Qian inexplicably had a bad premonition.

Setting aside the drastic difference in art style from the previous two times, this scene was hard to connect with the cocoon illusions in the warehouse.

When things are abnormal, there must be a demon. Be careful.

"Stop looking around!"

Just then, someone behind him reprimanded in a low voice.

Fu Qian turned his head and found a colossal figure.

The person was a burly man nearly two meters tall, with rugged features and eyes like ox bells.

His muscles bulged, and his sturdy body was tightly wrapped in a black uniform. He was a complete Schwarzenegger plus.

Patting Fu Qian's shoulder with an arm thicker than Fu Qian's waist, Schwarzenegger's expression was serious.

"The Wen Family paid a lot of money to hire us, so we must show professionalism.

They've already faced two assassinations within a month, one of which even involved an extraordinary being. We absolutely cannot let our guard down."

Fu Qian looked at his body and saw he was wearing the same uniform as the other person.

So, this time it was a bodyguard job.

The Wen Family?

The Wen Family from Wen Li's introduction?

Fu Qian blinked.

"How did the Wen Family get involved with extraordinary beings? This mission is too dangerous!"

"How should I know? A large part of the money the employer gave us is so we don't ask too many questions."

Schwarzenegger glared at him.

"But I did some digging privately. The Wen family appears to be just ordinary wealthy folks on the surface, but in reality, their eldest daughter, Wen Li, is a genuine Awakened.

She's rumored to be an extremely rare psychic type. The Wen family had kept it a secret and nurtured her in private.

Recently, news broke that Wen Li is expected to advance to the Sixth Order. If she succeeds, the Wen family will instantly become a legitimate power.

Unfortunately, not everyone is happy to see this outcome. The Wen family has offended many people over the years, so there are quite a few individuals stirring up trouble."

So that's what's going on.

Fu Qian gained a deeper understanding of this mission.

Schwarzenegger was in this line of work, so the information should be quite reliable.

This means his mission this time was to ensure the Wen family's eldest daughter successfully leveled up?

What level was a Sixth Order Awakened? How did they compare to him?

Of course, what he couldn't figure out was why his mission had anything to do with the Containment items in the warehouse, when it was simply about an Awakened upgrading.
