Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 497: Chapter 0497: Turnover (Seeking Subscriptions)

In this period, Cheng Feng and the others have tried probing Su Lu, but all attempts were skillfully dodged.

They were also wary of the possibility of Su Lu being an ordinary person, so they refrained from laying their cards on the table.

‘The matter of the Ancient God’s Eye can’t be delayed any longer…’

Su Lu, who has eyes everywhere, naturally wouldn’t miss this information.

In reality, in his vision.

A spiritual body looking like it was completely burnt was brazenly standing next to Cheng Feng and the others, spying on them.

This scene was quite terrifying. If there were other professionists from the Spirit World present, they would see that Su Lu’s restaurant was practically swarming with spiritual bodies. It would be more appropriate if renamed to ‘Ghost Restaurant’.

‘Next, my experience points, might have to be recovered from the Ancient God’s Eye. If things go wrong, I may even have to go abroad…’

As for the ‘Ancient God photo’ from the legend, Su Lu was very interested.

Even though the countermeasures needed to destroy it were difficult in this world, he had to try it anyway.

About ten minutes later, he suddenly looked up.

At a corner of the street, a black van had been parked for who knows how long, and two individuals got down from the vehicle.

It was Wang Chaoqun and Zi!

Their goal was the Bai Jing restaurant , they pushed open the door and came in.

“What would you two like to order?”

Su Lu had exceptional mental resilience, he didn’t order the spiritual bodies to attack these two willingly stepping into his trap, but asked with a smile.

“Three sets of duck, Wen’s tofu!”

Zi placed the order: “And some wine, I want aged rice wine!”

Wang Chaoqun chose a seating position, directly across Cheng Feng and the rest.

This instantly caused the newly formed three-person group to become restless.

‘Wang Chaoqun is here for me… Well, I have bought magic potion formulas from him, and I’ve long been suspected of being a professional… As for Lin Hong and Li Weiwei’s status, maybe it hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it can’t stand an investigation…’

Cheng Feng sighed internally.

He never imagined that Wang Chaoqun would join Skynet, this totally capsized his boat.

“Boss Cheng, we meet again.”

Wang Chaoqun greeted as he walked up.

“Yeah, it’s been a long time since we last met, Master Wang…” Cheng Feng gave a hollow laugh, glancing at Zi.

“This is my new elder sister – Zi!” Wang Chaoqun introduced

By now, Su Lu had already served the food and drinks.

The dish was a set of three ducks, each bone meticulously removed from the duck, a dish that required great knife skills.

Within the house duck, there was a wild duck, and within the wild duck, a pigeon was hidden. All three birds slow-cooked in a rich broth, each fully absorbing the essence of the soup and meat, creating a dish of layered freshness that was almost overwhelming.

The rice wine was top-shelf, thick enough to pull out threads with chopsticks, and its aroma filled the room.

“Alright, let’s eat.”

Zi’s mood was clearly not great.

Wang Chaoqun gave an apologetic smile towards Cheng Feng, accompanying Zi.

Cheng Feng returned to his seat, the feeling as if he was sitting on a bed of nails diminished considerably: “Could it really just be a coincidence?”

“Come, drink!”

Zi downed a glass of wine resolutely, causing Wang Chaoqun to wince.

The previous ambush on the Crow family in Forest Park was a fiasco, a total mess.

Not only did the two of them inexplicably fall into a trap, the other frontline members were even more unlucky, contracting a disease and now being quarantined for treatment.

In contrast, the two professionals, after various checks, turned out to be healthier than an ox. After a thorough cleaning and disinfection, along with a psychological evaluation, they were allowed to leave.

Of course, a bout of criticism and self-reflection was inevitable, but suspension was exempted.

Skynet across the country was too busy to deal with everything, and had no choice but to expand its recruitment. How could they have the leisure to suspend anyone?

However, it was inevitable that the team’s rating would be reduced, and they could only accept relatively less difficult tasks.

They specifically chose this place because they were tasked to do so.

The main target was Cheng Feng, the out-of-network Transcendent. Wang Chaoqun would not keep his secrets, and had reported him to Skynet early.

As for this local celebrity, Skynet’s attitude wasn’t to handle it in a simple and crude manner, but only said to observe and wait for an opportunity to make contact.

That’s why Wang Chaoqun chose this night-operating restaurant which Cheng Feng recently started appreciating. He also wanted to taste the food in this small and famous shop that’s said to be really tasty.

However, it seemed like Zi was preparing to indulge in a drinking spree due to depression.

‘Anyway…the main thing with Cheng Feng is observation…’

With this thought, Wang Chaoqun couldn’t help but pour a drink for himself: “Boss Zi, I will drink with you!”

‘What’s going on?’

Watching Zi and Wang Chaoqun outdoing each other in drinking, Lin Hong was dumbfounded.

‘It looks like…they’re not here for me, they’re here to drown their sorrows?’

Cheng Feng typed: ‘Wait for a while then you two leave first, don’t worry, even if I get caught, I won’t implicate you.’

‘What are you talking about, since we’re a team, we should face difficulties together.’

Li Weiwei responded quickly.

Actually, she didn’t think that Skynet would do anything to Cheng Feng.

Based on the intelligence gathered before, Skynet acknowledged the existence of Transcendent societies as long as they reported accordingly, there would be no problem.

‘Forget it, whether I submit or resist, I’m doomed either way…’

Cheng Feng gritted his teeth internally: ‘Later I will approach them directly, then reveal information about the Ancient God’s Eye to them, let Skynet worry about it!’

…

The wall clock slowly ticked to 11 o’clock.

Patrons familiar with Bai Jing’s small shop gradually stood up, some heading home to sleep, others who had not had enough were preparing to find another shop to continue drinking.

The fact that it didn’t operate all night, among other peculiarities, triggered complaints from the customers.

However, Su Lu didn’t care at all, he was satisfied as long as he earned enough to live on.

After sending off the last customer, Su Lu returned to the kitchen to clean up today’s cooking utensils.

Yet, through a spiritual body in the alleyway behind the restaurant, his consciousness was viewing an entirely different scene.

“Cheng Feng, [Ancient Martial Artist]!”

Cheng Feng had already separated from Li Weiwei, and was stopped alone by Zi and Wang Chaoqun.

Zi, whose face was somewhat flushed, pointed at Cheng Feng: “Unaffiliated Transcendent, have you considered joining Skynet?”

“I’m really sorry…”

Cheng Feng was somewhat speechless: “I personally still prefer doing business. Also…if a Transcendent organization is established, it will definitely be reported to Skynet.”

“Tonight, the two women drinking with you, they aren’t just drinking buddies, are they?” Zi suddenly asked.

Even though she was slightly drunk, her words were still sharp as a knife, hitting the nail on the head.

“I don’t understand what you’re implying…” Cheng Feng frowned, ” Red Sister and Weiwei and I are only familiar diners at this small restaurant.”

“Not admitting even till death… forget it.”

Zi’s expression suddenly became serious: “Let’s discuss something else then… for example… the Ancient God’s Eye!”

“Boss Zi!”

Wang Chaoqun was immediately alarmed, hurriedly scanning the surroundings to confirm there were no eavesdroppers before calming down.

At the same time, he felt a strong sense of despair.

Just after being demoted, you’re thinking about taking on a big case to turn the tables, do you think you’re the protagonist of some Hong Kong police drama?
