Ding-a-ling—
The silver bell on the door rang crisply.
Heavy footsteps and the clamor of the street surged in together, wrapped in the cold winter wind.
Hank looked up, saw Fat Wizard barely squeezing through the doorway, and greeted him very politely. "Good afternoon, Mr. Banner. Assistant Xiao and Captain Zhang have already gone upstairs... Would you like something to drink?"
"—Echo Cream Puffs, Multi-flavor Scones, Screaming Chocolate Beans, Green Apple Pie, um, two portions each of fried chicken strips, chicken fillet, and fries as well."
Fatty Xin swept his gaze over the display cases and ordered with practiced ease. At the end, he looked curiously at the soda in glass bottles on the new-products shelf. "What's this?"
"Transformation Soda."
Listening to Fat Wizard's afternoon tea order, Hank's beard twitched painfully, but he still answered patiently. "A new product from Fizzer Magic Potion Company... They originally wanted to develop a potion that could forcibly transform someone for a short time, but by some accident, they made this in the laboratory. It looks like a transparent liquid, but before drinking it, no one knows what it will turn into..."
"Turn into a cat?" Fat Wizard burst out laughing.
"Not that kind of transformation."
Fox Manager's ears twitched slightly. His gaze fell on Fat Wizard's black hair as he added, "It might turn your hair golden, or make your voice into a pleasant female voice like flowing water, or even turn you from a fat person into a thin one... Every sip produces a different result. The transformations are very 'specific' and uncontrollable. Of course, there are no side effects... That's why Fizzer turned it into soda and contacted several distributors, hoping to recoup some of the development costs..."
Fatty Xin paid no attention to Hank's rambling business logic afterward.
