"You want to get my investment."
"But..."
"You're just an ordinary person. What makes you so sure that I would allocate resources to you?"
Zhang Ziliang looked at Wang Ye. His originally cold expression suddenly melted away like spring rain, revealing a smile again.
The somewhat stifling atmosphere in the office instantly disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
Wang Ye looked at Zhang Ziliang and smiled.
"Who said..."
"That I'm an ordinary person."
After speaking, Wang Ye's arms and hands instantly turned bright red.
Vein-like threads emerged on his arms. Then, he pointed his hands towards Yang Chen at the door.
"Try my second ability..."
Wang Ye murmured. He had already demonstrated his first ability today - being able to suppress ghosts in an instant.
As for the second...
An enormous attractive force came over. Yang Chen felt as if he had been picked up by a huge force in an instant, pulled towards Wang Ye's hands.
Wang Ye didn't know when he had stood up. He was holding Yang Chen's neck as if clutching a chick, while the cyan glow on Yang Chen's hands had disappeared without a trace.
Absorption, suppression...
Using these two abilities at the same time seemed to have unexpected effects.
Wang Ye nodded satisfactorily.
"Minister, do you think my abilities are satisfactory?"
As he spoke, Wang Ye put Yang Chen down and looked at Zhang Ziliang with a faint smile.
From beginning to end, he hadn't even glanced at Yang Chen.
It was as if Yang Chen was just a prop to demonstrate his abilities at a critical moment.
Zhang Ziliang frowned slightly and gazed deeply at Wang Ye for a long time before smiling and saying, "No problem. I hope you'll always be the most outstanding employee in our Logistics Division."
"Of course."
Wang Ye and Zhang Ziliang shook hands and looked each other in the eye, smiling like two old foxes.
Meanwhile, Yang Chen was ignored, as if transparent.
The two of them stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the entire city.
"Can we really rely on those crooks out there from the Logistics Division to accomplish anything and stay alive?"
After reaching an agreement, Wang Ye finally asked the question that had been bothering him.
After all, he would belong to the Logistics Division for quite some time in the future.
So these people were already related to his plans.
Zhang Ziliang shook his head with a smile: "They're all people with connections. Those who don't want to die will resign."
"Besides, who said everyone in our Logistics Division is an ordinary person?"
Mimicking Wang Ye's earlier tone, Zhang Ziliang turned around and looked at Wang Ye, smiling faintly.
"..."
What a resentful guy.
Wang Ye silently ridiculed in his heart, but felt relieved.
Indeed, Zhang Ziliang wouldn't play this recklessly without some assurance.
If he really thought he could rely on that bunch of incompetents out there to accomplish anything amidst supernatural events through greed, Wang Ye would reconsider finding another partner.
The two chatted for a long time. Zhang Ziliang cordially saw Wang Ye off.
After returning to the office, Zhang Ziliang's smile gradually disappeared. He sat on the sofa with a pensive expression.
"Yang Chen, what do you think of Wang Ye's abilities?"
Zhang Ziliang lightly tapped the solid wooden armrest of the sofa. After a long time, he finally looked towards Yang Chen and asked.
Recalling the earlier scene, Yang Chen swallowed and said apprehensively, "Very powerful."
"At least I feel he could have killed me just now, and I wouldn't have been able to resist."
Yang Chen said somewhat resentfully, "But I'm just not familiar with his abilities yet. If you gave me time to prepare, I...I...I could definitely resist for a while!"
"..."
Zhang Ziliang directly ignored the latter half of Yang Chen's words and fell into thought again.
After a long time...
"Promote Wang Ye to Group 2 Captain, just a nominal position."
"Also..."
"Send someone to deliver a set of the Logistics Division's latest equipment over."
Zhang Ziliang said lightly, "We've picked up a treasure this time."
"But I wonder what this guy's background is. The tests showed no energy in his body, so he can't awaken abilities."
"Oh well, better not report this for now. Otherwise those madmen in the lab might dissect him if they found out. What a waste that would be."
After issuing instructions, Zhang Ziliang seemed a little tired. He closed his eyes to rest.
Sparring with this little fox was somewhat mentally taxing.
Yang Chen gritted his teeth, seeming to want to prove he wasn't inferior to Wang Ye. But thinking of the terrifying gap in strength, he ultimately didn't say anything and left.
"Just wait until I awaken the second part!"
Yang Chen's resentful voice entered Zhang Ziliang's ears.
After a long time, Zhang Ziliang opened his eyes thoughtfully, "Although he's a bit inferior to the top tier mutants, it should be..."
"Enough."
The office fell silent again.
...
Back home, Wang Ye poured himself a glass of water and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
The first step of his plan had gone well so far, a good start.
However...
Wang Ye looked at his own hands.
After awakening his abilities, Wang Ye clearly felt his hands didn't quite match the rest of his body.
It was as if...
His hands were conveying a kind of...
Disdain towards his body.
And after briefly using his abilities twice today, his body showed some weakness each time.
This was probably because his body's attributes and quality couldn't keep up with his hands' state.
If this continued, his body would gradually rot due to the discordance and excessive draining of energy from other parts by his hands.
Only by awakening a second part could the energies of the two parts complement each other and achieve a stable balance, increasing his lifespan.
Until all parts of his body awakened...
By then, living a few hundred years probably wouldn't be an issue.
But each awakening was accompanied by intense pain. Also, if the two energies conflicted...
His body would explode.
Most ability users died on the path to awakening. And the more parts awakened, the more dangerous it was.
This was also why brain awakening was recognized as conferring the greatest power.
Because the brain awakened first, its gentle attributes greatly reduced the risks of other parts awakening. And mental strength was powerful.
"Awakening through the Post Office lowered my risks a lot."
"I'm really looking forward to the Post Office's next mission."
Wang Ye murmured with a faint smile at the corner of his lips.
...
In the following days, Wang Ye unusually calmed down.
After the Logistics Division delivered some equipment, they didn't disturb him again, including Zhou Han.
But according to Zhang Ziliang, he had dispatched most of the personnel to various supernatural events, causing the vast majority of slackers to resign.
However...
Equally surprising everyone was that the Logistics Division actually had ability users.
As many as 12 people, some with considerable strength.
For a time...
Winds of change blew within the top echelons of Team Sky. Everyone's gaze turned to the usually low-key Logistics Division.
Wang Ye didn't pay too much attention to this. Instead, he pushed open the mysterious wooden door that had bizarrely appeared in his living room.
