Chapter 58 Why are you blocking my way?
Chapter 58 Why are you blocking my way?
"I've only ever heard of carp leaping over the dragon gate, never tadpoles! That's really strange!"
Although these tadpoles don't have much intelligence, these natural creatures aren't stupid. They haven't been eliminated by nature yet, so they must have a way of surviving.
So even though Wang Ce didn't understand, he still used a fork to pierce the tadpole's body and then threw it into the factory behind him.
The fourth floor is the planting area, but a section of land was specially cleared out to deal with these large tadpoles.
"That's it? These tadpoles only look big; their strength isn't that outrageous. Of course, this is also related to the explosive increase in power due to my advancement in life level."
Wang Ce knew that he had undergone a complete physical evolution, and his strength far surpassed that of people at the same level of life.
When his life level was at the first level, Huang Feipeng, at the second level, couldn't gain the upper hand in the struggle.
"It seems I underestimated my own strength a bit. But it's better to play it safe and start by killing the weaker monsters."
Wang Ce went on a killing spree, one corpse after another with his fork. The workers behind him couldn't keep up with his hunting speed, and they were unable to process the bodies as quickly as he could.
"Haha, Brother Ce, we've really struck it rich this time! We can make Jiajia a second-tier evolver soon!"
Becoming a second-tier evolver requires approximately two hundred first-tier crystal cores, and at this rate, it is indeed highly possible.
The problem is that current drones are too small and can only transport small items.
"These tadpoles are coming one after another, could they be looking for their mother? We learned the story of the tadpoles looking for their mother when we were little."
With Huang Feipeng finishing off the attackers from behind, it was even easier. Basically, with just one stab from Wang Ce, those giant tadpoles were already half-dead.
He felt like a factory worker on an assembly line, ruthlessly slaughtering tadpoles.
"Quack quack, I'm your mother, come up here quickly—"
Hearing Huang Feipeng's childish voice, Wang Ce really couldn't understand how Zhao Jiajia, a rich second-generation from a privileged background, could have fallen for this kid.
"puff!"
Another large tadpole darted up from the stairwell, and Wang Ce, out of habit, pierced its body with a steel fork.
Before the steel fork could even touch the giant tadpole, a jet of water suddenly shot out from its mouth at incredible speed!
If the distance were a little further, Wang Ce could have dodged it, but at such a close distance, coupled with the cramped space of the stairwell, there was no way he could escape.
"A first-tier tadpole with supernatural abilities!"
"Iron Shirt!"
Wang Ce only had time to use the Golden Bell Shield technique, and he didn't know whether this novice martial art was effective or not.
But at this point, we had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
Zhang Luoyan, who was standing to the side, reacted even faster. Her body suddenly shot out, and before she could even use her light-based abilities, the water arrow was already close to her face.
In that split second, Wang Ce managed to grab Zhang Luoyan and then suddenly turned around to block the arrow.
"puff!"
The water arrow hit Wang Ce's shoulder, and Zhang Luoyan, who was in his arms, instantly turned cold.
"court death!"
"Bang!"
A burst of flames instantly reduced the large tadpole to charcoal slag.
"Huang Feipeng, go up there!"
Zhang Luoyan quickly helped Wang Ce to the side, her expression anxious as she asked, "How badly are you injured? Does it hurt?"
Wang Ce was actually perfectly fine. His life level was already higher than that of the tadpole, and with the help of the beginner-level Golden Bell Shield, he didn't even feel any pain just now.
Just now, all he felt was that his clothes were torn and his back was wet, nothing more.
However, seeing Zhang Luoyan's unusual nervousness, he still pretended to be weak and said, "It seems that my internal organs are injured. I feel like I'm about to die."
Zhang Luoyan's pupils widened, and in an instant, they became misty with tears.
Huang Feipeng, who was chopping down the giant tadpole, suddenly stopped. However, when he looked at Wang Ce, he saw Wang Ce wink at him.
"Brother Ce, it's you!"
Huang Feipeng took the opportunity to give a thumbs up. If Zhang Luoyan found out that Wang Ce was lying to her, it wouldn't be as simple as just kicking him; he suspected that Wang Ce would be in serious trouble.
"I'm sorry, I didn't use my special ability just now. I shouldn't have been so stingy with crystal cores. I should practice more."
Zhang Luoyan's lips trembled slightly, and tears involuntarily fell down her cheeks.
Wang Ce didn't expect Zhang Luoyan to react so strongly to his joke.
If she had just glanced at herself, with her intelligence, she should have been able to see through his poor acting in an instant.
"Why did you block my way just now? Was it to seize the opportunity and see what was so special about this tadpole with superpowers?"
Wang Ce looked at Zhang Luoyan, raised his hand slightly, and gently wiped away the tears on her face with his sleeve.
He had never seen this side of Zhang Luoyan before, nor had he ever imagined that this scene would happen to her.
In his view, Zhang Luoyan was an extremely calm and intelligent woman who was always strategizing and able to foresee long-term changes.
Moreover, she was able to handle team management and political building, which were areas she was not good at, with ease.
Seeing that Wang Ce still had the strength to wipe away her tears, Zhang Luoyan finally realized what was going on, looked up at Wang Ce, and her expression remained normal.
She looked at Wang Ce's back again. Underneath his tattered clothes, there wasn't a single bruise on his body. How could she not know that she had been deceived by Wang Ce?
"Snapped!"
"Wang Ce, you bastard!"
Wang Ce saw the slap, anticipated its trajectory, and could easily dodge it.
However, he didn't dodge; he even removed his Golden Bell Shield.
Seeing Zhang Luoyan running towards the fifth floor, Wang Ce was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Let's chase after her. Zhang Luoyan hit him earlier and was clearly very angry. It doesn't seem right if we don't.
"Bang!"
Huang Feipeng closed the steel frame door, bolted it, and hurriedly said, "Brother Ce, hurry up and chase after them! I'll keep an eye on things downstairs, it'll be fine. You go upstairs quickly."
Wang Ce hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "But she was so angry just now, she probably doesn't want to see me, right?"
Huang Feipeng said with exasperation, "She's angry because you lied to her. Manager Zhang is such a proud person, yet she was wiping away tears in front of these workers just now. Doesn't she have any pride?"
"Trust me, you won't go wrong. Don't worry, this time it'll be reliable!"
Wang Ce nodded, deciding to trust Huang Feipeng this time. Although the kid wasn't very smart, the fact that he could get together with Zhao Jiajia proved that he had high emotional intelligence.
After Wang Ce went upstairs, he accurately located Zhang Luoyan's position, which was in the factory manager's office.
Since reaching the second level of life, the term "meat enema" has advanced, and now even inside a human body, it is "meat enema being synthesized".
Within a hundred meters, no one can become invisible in front of him.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Zhang Luoyan, open the door, I have something to tell you."
The door was locked from the inside, and Zhang Luoyan didn't seem to have any intention of opening it. Wang Ce was at a loss for what to do.
He had just killed hundreds of tadpoles and didn't feel as tired as he does now, which means he's already entered a knowledge gap.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you and embarrass you in front of the workers."
Wang Ce was determined to apologize sincerely, but these words seemed to only fuel Zhang Luoyan's anger.
"Bang!"
Something hit the door, fell to the ground, and made a metallic sound.
"roll!"
Upon hearing Zhang Luoyan's words, Wang Ce went downstairs, intending to ask Huang Feipeng for advice.
"Fatty, why don't you use your superpower to open the door for me?"
Huang Feipeng shook his head vigorously, waving his hands repeatedly, saying, "Brother Ce, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you."
"But as your brother, I can still help you analyze this. Women are easy to coax, even a strong woman like Manager Zhang is no exception."
"How exactly to do it depends on your understanding."
Wang Ce never imagined that one day he would desperately seek advice from Huang Feipeng.
Thinking back on everything that had happened, Wang Ce cursed himself inwardly for being such a fool. He should have been a sycophant a long time ago!
After running up to the rooftop, Wang Ce jumped from the fifth floor and then hung on the window outside Zhang Luoyan's office, shamelessly making funny faces.
He didn't know how to coax a woman, but making her happy should be considered coaxing her, right?
As expected, Zhang Luoyan, who was sitting in the chair, jumped up instantly after just one glance at him, rushed over to him, pointed at him in a panic, and seemed to be saying something.
"This glass is so soundproof, I can't hear what she's saying at all. But she looks so nervous, she must be worried about me, right?"
Wang Ce was still thinking that he was quick to understand and that his move would work immediately when, through the reflection in the window glass, he saw a huge creature emerging from the river behind him!
