The Interdimensional Reseller – CH197

Chapter 197

There was a knock at the door. Zhuang Cheng looked over and saw Shen Yuxing.

“Miss Shen! Long time no see,” Zhuang Feixue stood up and said.

Shen Yuxing smiled. “Long time no see. Miss Zhuang, you’re looking more radiant than ever.”

“Oh, stop it.”

“I came to see Chu Feng. He’s here, right?”

“Chu Feng? Probably. He just bought a whole building and got a bit emotional—maybe he’s off drinking somewhere to celebrate.”

“He sure has the mood for it, huh?” Shen Yuxing was a bit speechless. There’d just been an earthquake, chaos everywhere, and yet the guy still felt like celebrating with a drink.

Zhuang Cheng puffed out his cheeks. “Well, he did just get a building!”

Shen Yuxing: “…” A building! Well, yeah… that is worth celebrating.

As they chatted, Chu Feng pushed the door open and walked in.

“Oh, Miss Shen. Long time no see!”

Shen Yuxing smiled. “Indeed. Chu Shao’s powers are impressive—truly eye-opening.”

When she mentioned powers, there was a hint of gritted teeth in her tone.

Thinking about how he tricked her during the power check, Chu Feng felt a little guilty… but only a little.

“Actually, I only awakened recently—I didn’t have powers last time,” Chu Feng said.

Shen Yuxing: “…” Just awakened? That excuse is really weak. “Oh, just awakened? So it’s not that our lab equipment was faulty.” She emphasized the word just.

Chu Feng smiled. “The lab equipment was designed by experts. How could there be anything wrong with it?”

Shen Yuxing: “…” After Director Wang’s video came out, a few of those expert researchers nearly spiraled into depression. Some even suspected she had messed up during the test.

Watching those experts so distraught, Shen Yuxing had no choice but to admit—maybe she really did mess up.

“Young Master Chu, would you be willing to take the test again?” she asked.

Chu Feng nodded. “Sure, why not?”

Shen Yuxing took out a device. Chu Feng glanced at it and said, “This energy detector looks different from the last one.”

Shen Yuxing nodded. “This energy detector requires energy input.”

Chu Feng tilted his head. “Let me try.”

Chu Feng poured his ability into the sensor, and the energy bar shot up rapidly—then suddenly exploded with a bang.

Shen Yuxing’s face stiffened and she thought to herself: As expected, it’s not just A-level. At least S-level.

The detector she brought this time had a maximum detection limit of S-level. Chu Feng’s power must have exceeded that limit, which is why the device exploded.

Zhuang Cheng shook his head on the side, speechless. He thought: The detectors at the Ability Research Institute are really subpar. The last one couldn’t measure anything, and now this one couldn’t even withstand Second Brother’s power and blew up.

Shen Yutong looked at the broken device with a helpless expression. She had already considered the possibility of this happening, but didn’t expect it to break so easily.

This type of energy detector is greatly affected by the user’s condition. If the tester has already used their power beforehand and lost some of their internal energy, the test results would be lower.

Currently, there are quite a few ability-users in the Bureau of Abilities, and their benefits are tied to their power level.

Because of this, before testing, most ability-users will optimize their condition and pour in as much energy as possible during the test, hoping to reach a higher level.

Chu Feng blinked and thought: This detector is way too fragile. I already held back, and it still blew up. My ability really is powerful! But my original power was already unusual—it lets me travel between two worlds. This result isn’t that surprising.
He said, “How much is this device? I’ll pay for it.”

“No need.”

Chu Feng chuckled. “I’ll compensate with potions.”

Shen Yutong smiled. “Then I won’t hold back.”

Chu Feng: “…”

Zhuang Cheng asked curiously, “Since the device exploded, does that mean he’s S-level?”

Shen Yuxing nodded. “It should be.”

But maybe he’s not just S-level—he could be SS, or even SSS. Shen Yuxing had already considered this possibility. In previous footage, there was a scene where Chu Feng decapitated the Azure Wolf King.

Chu Feng left right after killing the wolf king, and the body was never retrieved.

The Bureau later recovered the body. The wolf king had power close to S-level while alive. For Chu Feng to have killed it, surpassing S-level was only logical. The wolf king’s corpse held great research value.

Chu Feng was really wasteful to just leave such a valuable beast corpse behind.

“Mr. Chu, the Bureau would like to buy another batch of potions from you,” Shen Yutong said.

Chu Feng shrugged. “Sure!”

Shen Yuxing breathed a sigh of relief. “Same as last time? Trade with various spirit herbs?”

Chu Feng smiled. “Works for me.”

Shen Yuxing nodded again. “Good. There’s one more favor we’d like to ask.”

Chu Feng tilted his head. “Feel free to ask, Miss Shen. If I can help, I will.”

Shen Yutong pressed her lips together. “We’d like to borrow Manning.”

Chu Feng tilted his head. “To locate certain people?”

Shen Yuxing nodded. “Yes. The recent earthquake caused massive damage, and many people are missing.”

Chu Feng nodded. “Sure, but… Manning shouldn’t be working for free, right?”

Shen Yuxing frowned slightly. “What does Mr. Chu want?”

Chu Feng thought for a moment. “I heard the Bureau has a points-based reward system. Ability users can earn points by completing tasks, and use them to trade for resources within the Bureau.”

Shen Yuxing nodded. “That’s correct.”

“Then let’s follow your system. Register Manning under the Bureau and give him points according to your standards,” Chu Feng said.

Shen Yuxing smiled. “Perfect! We couldn’t ask for more.”

The Bureau was currently recruiting talented people. Higher-ups greatly appreciated Manning’s ability. If he agreed to register with the Bureau, not only would the Bureau gain a new power, but it would also strengthen its ties with Chu Feng.

Lin Yunfei was pushed into the room in a wheelchair.

“Mom, you’re back?” Lin Yunfei said.

Lin Tianqing looked at him with worry. “Yunfei, why did you leave the hospital?”

“My injuries have been treated. There’s no need to stay. Besides, the hospital’s a mess right now.”

After the earthquake, a flood of patients had overwhelmed the hospital. Even private rooms had been canceled.

“If you don’t want to stay in the hospital, fine. I’ve found someone to take care of you at home,” Lin Tianqing sighed. “Still… I don’t know how this all happened, or whether it’s over.”

She was already considering leaving the capital if the earthquakes continued—it might become a dangerous place.

“Mom, did you get the potion?”

Lin Tianqing nodded. “Yes, I have it here.”

Lin Yunfei blinked. “Mom, can I use one?”

The strengthening potion was very famous, but extremely rare. Lin Yunfei had tried many ways to get it before, but never succeeded.

Lin Tianqing chuckled. “They’re all for you. What’s the rush?”

Lin Yunfei scratched his head. “Mom, you should’ve taken me along. I really wanted to thank Chu Feng in person.” He had always been curious about the person who sliced the car—and it turned out to be Chu Feng.

Lin Tianqing sighed. “Let’s wait for another chance.”

Zhuang Cheng had kept his mouth shut. Judging by Zhuang Zhenyang’s reaction, he didn’t seem to know much either. Apparently, Zhuang Cheng had even kept it from his own father.

Come to think of it, Zhuang Zhenyang didn’t seem to have a great relationship with the Chu family. Today, Chu Feng didn’t show Zhuang Zhenyang any respect—he kept calling him ‘Director Zhuang.’ The father-son relationship really didn’t seem close.

“Mom, you traded for quite a few Beauty and Slimming Elixirs!” Lin Yunfei said with a smile.

Lin Tianqing gave an awkward laugh and replied, “Not really!”

She actually didn’t take much—the one who took the most of the Beauty and Slimming Elixirs was that Xie Zhongshi.

“What’s this Bone Strengthening Elixir?”

“They say it can enhance bone strength,” Lin Tianqing answered.

Lin Yunfei asked curiously, “If it enhances bone strength, can it heal fractures?”

Lin Tianqing shook her head. “Probably not. Don’t worry, Yunfei. The Ability Bureau has recently had a few healing-type ability-users appear. Although they’re still rare and hard to get treatment from now, there should be more of them in the future. Your leg fracture should be fixable soon.”

Lin Yunfei nodded, half-listening as her words went in one ear and out the other. He picked up a Bone Strengthening Elixir and swallowed it.

“Yunfei, you…”

The Bone Strengthening Elixir had just been introduced. Although Lin Tianqing trusted the pharmacist behind Chu Feng, she still wanted to wait for others to try the elixir first before letting her son take it. But her son had already rushed to become the guinea pig.

“How do you feel?” Lin Tianqing asked nervously.

“My leg feels itchy… like I’m regaining some sensation,” Lin Yunfei said, a bit excited.

“Really? Could it actually be working?” After the earthquake, Lin Yunfei had barely survived but ended up with a crushed leg.

His left leg had a comminuted fracture. Chu Feng had said the Bone Strengthening Elixir could enhance bones, so Lin Tianqing had traded for quite a few of them.

Even though she didn’t dare hope the elixir could heal a shattered bone, she still held on to a sliver of hope.

Looking at his leg, Lin Yunfei said excitedly, “Mom, I think my leg bone is regenerating!”

“That’s wonderful! I’ll call the doctor right away to check on you,” Lin Tianqing said emotionally.

The Lin family had a private doctor, and after receiving the call, he quickly arrived and took some scans of Lin Yunfei’s leg.

“Madam Lin, this is a miracle,” the doctor said. Based on previous scans, Lin Yunfei’s bone damage was so severe he’d likely be wheelchair-bound for life. But the latest images showed that his bones were rapidly regenerating—much better than before.

“If he continues healing at this rate, he should be able to walk again in some time. Madam Lin, did you find a healing-type ability-user for him?”

Lin Tianqing smiled, “No, I wish I could. But healing-type ability-users are even rarer than giant pandas!”

“Then this is really strange. Such rapid regeneration—could it be that he’s about to awaken an ability?” the doctor asked.

“If only that were true,” Lin Tianqing sighed.
