Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 90
Chapter 90: Black Cat
In a dark alley.
Gu Qing Shan’s figure silently appeared.
Exactly 1 hour has passed. It was now midnight.
As the wind blew from one end to the other, you could feel the calming breeze.
Gu Qing Shan looked around to make sure there were no one around.
This was originally a secluded alleyway, plus it was already midnight, so of course, there wasn’t anybody here.
Having confirmed that, he stood in place and opened the War God UI.
Looking at the wheel on War God UI, he took out all the items he had prepared and put them in the corresponding slots.
Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!
4 consecutive system notification sound was heard as the complicated patterns and the slot inside spun around, finally turning into 4 balls of light.
Only the last slot was still empty without any change.
The pattern there depicted a sea of stars where one of the planets was being covered by a giant monster using its body.
“Only the Space type is left…”
Gu Qing Shan mumbled.
The Cultivation world didn’t have this kind of monster, so he must find it from Reality.
Interstellar Warp technology had enabled humanity to find out the truth about space.
After an intense and costly battle, humanity found out that it wasn’t easy to win against the numerous kinds of planet-sized monsters.
And this kind of battle, from their current standpoint, it was meaningless, as they didn’t gain anything from it.
The only thing they got was a bunch of space monster corpses.
With their current technology, the rate of research on utilizing these monsters was too slow.
After much discussion, humanity reached a unanimous decision to temporarily stop the exploration of other galaxies.
Glancing at the War God UI, Gu Qing Shan confirmed that there was still a lot of time, so there was no need to rush.
No matter what, as soon as the time limit is up, he’ll still be able to pick a Thaumaturgy, but given the chance, Gu Qing Shan would obviously want to do everything as perfectly as possible and obtain a powerful Thaumaturgy.
But space monster corpse parts aren’t exactly easy to get.
How should I go about doing this?
Gu Qing Shan suddenly remembered someone.
He turned on his phone, found a certain person’s number and called.
Shortly after, they picked up.
[I’m surprised, you actually contacted me first] Zhang Ying Hao’s calm voice was heard.
“There’s something I need, and seeking your help seemed to be the most convenient” said Gu Qing Shan.
[That’s great, that means we’re no longer just acquaintances anymore] Zhang Ying Hao replied.
“If you aren’t busy, then come here” Gu Qing Shan gave the other party information on where he was, “because this matter is better-discussed face-to-face”
[I’ll be there soon] Zhang Ying Hao hung up.
Gu Qing Shan only had to wait for 10 minutes.
Wearing a black coat and open finger black gloves, Zhang Ying Hao appeared from the other end of the alley.
As he walks, Zhang Ying Hao spread his arms and said: “How miraculous, the 9 Lords still hasn’t been able to get their hands on your scientific research”
“You’re not afraid I’ll drop dead in just a few seconds?” Gu Qing Shan smiled and said.
“There were some problems with the Su family, Elder Su is very angry right now, and my second uncle supports the Su family’s stance, together with the Lee family that has always been on good terms with the Su family, the situation is still changing” Zhang Ying Hao summarized.
Then he clapped his hand: “Ok then, now that you’ve called me all the way here, what’s the matter?”
Gu Qing Shan said: “I need some space monster parts”
Zhang Ying Hao didn’t ask why; he only looked at him and asked: “And why do you think I can help you?”
Gu Qing Shan answered: “Regular methods definitely can’t get me what I need, and since you’re not only an Aristocrat but also a member of the underground, I thought———-”
“I understand” Zhang Ying Hao said, “then what do I get from helping you?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Then I’ll give you two choices, and you can choose either one, how about that?”
“Choosing is my expertise, go ahead” Zhang Ying Hao answered.
“The first choice is that I will owe you a favor. For example, if you want me to give you the right to use a certain research, or in the future when you clash with another hitman company, I can help you deal with them, once”
“And the second choice?”
“The second choice is that from now on, your company and I will become official partners, allies if you will” Gu Qing Shan said.
After hearing all that, Zhang Ying Hao silently nodded and contemplated.
After personally seeing how Gu Qing Shan killed Hyena, as well as the Seraph in action, so he wouldn’t make the mistake of underestimating him.
Zhang Ying Hao lit a cigarette, took a drag from it, then made a crucial decision.
At the time, this decision might seem to be dumb, but all of the things that happened later proved this to be the best decision he had made in his life.
Zhang Ying Hao bit on the cigarette and extended his hand to Gu Qing Shan.
“To a great partnership” he said
“To a great partnership” Gu Qing Shan also extended his hand as they shook.
“Well then, let’s start now” Zhang Ying Hao spoke quickly.
“Since my partner has requested something” he squatted down and knocked on the ground, “I’ll have to try my best to help”
Right where he knocked, the ground opened up to be a hole as large as a cutting board.
Zhang Ying Hao placed one hand on the ground to brace himself, the other reaching inside the hole, looking for something.
“A God’s Chosen Skill?” Gu Qing Shan asked curiously.
“That’s right, when I was young, I squatted down to pick up a toy, but accidentally picked up a rooster instead”
As Zhang Ying Hao said that, he suddenly lifted his hand from the hole.
It was a completely black rooster, being held by the neck as it was pulled out from the hole.
The rooster looked at Zhang Ying Hao, then at Gu Qing Shan, as it was about to cluck.
“Co—–”
“The fuck, I’m not looking for you” Zhang Ying Hao said and casually shoved him back in.
He searched again.
Suddenly, he jumped up, bowed down a 90 degrees angle and said: “Boss! I didn’t think I’d bother you, I’m very very sorry”
Inside the hole, an eye with a vertical pupil was looking back at him.
From the look of it, the eye was actually a little bit bigger than the hole.
As Zhang Ying Hao said that, the vertical pupil eye left.
Zhang Ying Hao took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat then said: “Let’s continue”
He squats down again to search; this time he was also imitating a cat.
“Where~ are~ you~ precious~? Meow~”
A few minutes later, Zhang Ying Hao took out a black cat from the hole.
“Hello, precious” Zhang Ying Hao’s tone became soft.
“Meow”, the cat answered back.
“What did you say you want? Erm, what kind of parts?” Zhang Ying Hao looked up and ask.
“Space monster parts” Gu Qing Shan quickly answered.
“You heard that?” Zhang Ying Hao looked at the black cat seriously, “we want to find space monster parts”
“Meow, meow meow” The black cat swung its front paw, shaking its head.
Gu Qing Shan: “What’s wrong, he doesn’t know either?”
“No, he says he wants some first-grade egg yolks” Zhang Ying Hao stood up, “let’s go find a convenience store”
God’s Chosen Skills are always like this, strange and unusual.
Sometimes, even after using it, other people can only stare for half a day and still not know what it does.
A president of a hitman company and a returner from the future, bringing along a black cat, bought a bunch of egg yolks and cracked them open for the cat to eat on a street corner.
Only a God’s Chosen Skill can make such an unthinkable situation happen.
After the black cat was full.
He circled around Zhang Ying Hao once, then started to run towards a direction in the night.
“Where is he going?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Zhang Ying Hao answered: “He’s looking for what you want, let’s chase after him”
Gu Qing Shan was surprised, so this cat’s ability is to find objects.
