Chapter 14: Chapter 14

“No problem!”

Wang Siyu agreed to Jiang He’s request after considering it for just a few seconds, and quickly went on to say, “No, let’s talk about tonight’s operation.”

“In the Feral attack incident at Baitugang Village last night, our on-the-scene observation and deduction led us to believe that there are probably three Ferals, with the most powerful one being a rank-two Feral.”

“Our team would have a rank two martial artist and a class-D Awakened with superstrength on the frontline.”

“In turn, we will be in charge of support. We’ll be gathering in front of my house at nine in the evening.”

With the arrangements made, Wang Siyu then said, “Li Fei, the weapons you requested are made by our munitions squad. They have prepared a cultivation manual for you as well, so collect it later.”

“Alright!”

Li Fei’s eyes brightened, and he excitedly drove off in his BMW.

It was only then that Wang Siyu turned to Jiang He.

She looked like she had a lot to say but kept hesitating, before eventually letting out a long sigh and telling him, “I’m sorry, Jiang He. My hand is forced. We simply don’t have enough people—I’m just a support-type Awakened, whereas Li Fei only awakened his powers recently, not to mention that he isn’t too familiar with his power and hasn’t been through systematic training. That is why the team is keen on having a beast tamer like you to come attempt communicating with the Ferals.”

“Actually, I wanted to see for myself how powerful the Ferals could be.”

Jiang He shook his head, indicating that he was fine with it.

But the truth was that he was in over his head.

‘Beast tamer? Communicating with Ferals?

‘Screw me. How am I supposed to do that?’

8

Not only was he misidentified as a beast tamer, but Jiang He himself was using his ‘identity’ as leverage.

1

What if he were exposed?

Nonetheless, Wang Siyu soon left to make preparations, while Jiang He returned inside his home to plant one of the pea seeds.

Soon, a tender sprout climbed out of the soil and continued growing rapidly, turning into a beanstalk that stood more than the height of a human.

“…System, could you make me some fresh gimmick?” Jiang He scowled and complained just then. “A peashooter would be nice for example, but everything is only trees to you: cucumbers, cultivation manuals. Even peas…”

3

Meanwhile, the beanstalk was already budding.

Veins of oily green beans over twenty centimeters long hung over the branches.

From a single glance, there were probably two hundred pea pods.

[Farm point +1]

Jiang He casually plucked off one particular pea pod and pealed it, revealing twelve emerald-green peas before his eyes.

Each pea was the size of a marble, resembling a world as they shone with crystalline green radiance like a pearl, making them a sight to behold.

[Inedible, extremely destructive]

[Usage: Throw from long-distances.]

[Warm reminder: It is recommended that the Host drops to the ground and clutches his head with both hands after throwing to stay immune from damage.]

In his head, an exclamation was bursting out.

‘What the…’

Are you mocking me?

Pea bomb?

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Jiang He came to a realization then. “I wonder how powerful they are… urgh, forget it. I don’t want my house to get blown up.”

He had intended to test the peas in his yard, but ultimately rejected the idea.

The stuff he got System couldn’t be measured with common sense. While it would be acceptable if his house was blown up when he threw out a pea, what if he scared his neighbors as well?

From a rough estimate, there were probably two hundred pea pods.

And there would be twelve pea bombs inside.

“Twenty-four hundred bombs?”

3

“And if I had planted all three pea seeds, I would have gotten over seven thousand?”

3

He hence started plucking every pea pod and emptied the peas inside into his System backpack whilst keeping an eye on the System. The pea seed eventually yielded him 200 farm points, 20 EXP and 2400 bombs of unknown force.

“Let’s have corn today to celebrate instead! No cucumbers!”

***

Soon, it was night.

Jiang He checked his phone to realize it was 8:50.

Putting on a tracksuit and trainers, he tucked Dumbo in before casually heading to Wang Siyu’s home.

3

There was an MPV parked up front, with Li Fei in the driver’s seat.

Another man who looked around thirty was riding shotgun, and in the backseat was Wang Siyu and a young girl who looked just short of twenty.

Everyone got off the car when they saw Jiang He coming, with Wang Siyu coming to him and introducing the man and the girl. “Brother Su, Liu Xue. This is Jiang He, whom I’ve spoken of before. He is an Awakened, and his power is beast taming.”

2

“Hello.”

The man, who was wearing a black trench coat stayed impassive as he came to shake Jiang He’s hand. “I’m Su Ze,” he said coolly, “an apprentice of the Eight Trigram school and rank-two martial artist.”

1

“Greetings.”

Since the other man had already announced himself, Jiang He felt compelled to say something as well.

After musing to himself for a bit, he then said, “I’m Jiang He, an Awakened who is good at… walking dogs?”

Snort!

Wang Siyu and the girl couldn’t help giggling, whereas Su Ze appeared displeased, and shot the former a frown. “Wang Siyu, there are lives at stake. Don’t you think you would make a mess of things, asking an inexperienced Awakened to help?”

“This came with permission from above, Brother Su.” Wang Siyu replied.

It was obvious that there was a rift between her and Su Ze.

On the other hand, the other young girl had an earnest smile on her face. “Your village is so impressive, Sister Siyu… you actually have three Awakened. And is Brother Jiang He really a beast tamer? This is the first time I’ve met one! Could you get me a Feral as a pet?”

1

“…”

Jiang He was about to speak, but Wang Siyu rebuked her. “No, Liu Xue. The Ferals are too wild—how could they be tamed as pets?”

Then, Wang Siyu leaned into Jiang Yu and whispered into his ear. “Don’t underestimate her. This little lady is seventeen and tiny like a loli, but she has awakened to her powers over half a year now and joined the Bureau earlier than I did. She had since learnt to control her powers well, and although she’s a D-class Awakened with superstrength as well, she is more than ten times better than Li Fei.”

2

“Oh?”

Surprised, Jiang He asked, “What sets those who awakened superstrength apart, though? For example, how strong can a D-class Awakened with superstrength be?”

“If their development is right, a D-class Awakened with superstrength wouldn’t be weaker than a rank two martial artist. The strength of their punch could reach two thousand kg.”

“Woah!!”

2,000 kg?!

Jiang He almost didn’t stop himself from cursing right there and then.

What on earth? A 2,000 kg punch?!

He quietly estimated his power then.

Perhaps…

“That little lady is as strong as I am?”

Su Ze couldn’t help frowning when he saw Jiang He and Wang Siyu whispering to each other, and hence spoke out loud. “Let’s go. We’ll talk about the mission arrangements on the way there.”
