Chapter 1212: New Mythical Serum
He didnât dare stay for too long. Since a Calamity-grade creature like Tsukuyomi had appeared, there might be other Calamity-grade existences.
It would be a tragedy if he encountered a Calamity-grade who wanted his life.
Using Singularity Universe, Zhou Wen returned to Earth. The coordinates of his destination were similarly inaccurate, so he didnât return to Luoyang.
This is... Holy City?
Zhou Wen carefully observed his surroundings and realized that he was standing in an alley. People were coming and going on the streets.
He used Truth Listener to scan the area and realized that this was Holy City.
Back then, Wang Mingyuan had used the power of the six Holy Temples to break through the barrier between Earth and the dimension and forced his way into the dimension. At the same time, he nearly destroyed the Holy Land.
This was Holy City, but it was different from the tragic scene back then. Holy City had been rebuiltâalthough it was slightly smaller than before, it could be considered a medium-sized human city.
However, Holy Cityâs defensive barrier hadnât been repaired. It had lost its greatest defense and could only rely on human experts to protect it.
According to what Zhou Wen knew, the federal government led by Hui Haifeng had its headquarters in the Holy Land. Hui Haifeng had chosen this place himself. As for why he didnât use the former presidentâs office, the reason wasnât something Zhou Wen was privy to.
He took out his phone and took a look. It was still downloading, and it didnât look like it would be done quickly.
Since Iâm already here, it wonât be a bad idea to visit Hui Haifeng.
Zhou Wen used Truth Listener to identify the buildings in Holy City and easily found the building for the presidentâs office.
However, Zhou Wen used Truth Listener to scan the interior of the building, hoping to find Hui Haifeng. He teleported over and realized that Truth Listenerâs power couldnât infiltrate the building.
The ring-shaped building was screened by an unknown force. Truth Listener was completely unable to probe the interior.
Interesting. I wonder if it was made by Hui Haifeng or an expert from the Federation.
Zhou Wen couldnât find Hui Haifeng, so after some thought, he gave up on the idea of looking for him.
âWhat are you doing here?â Just as Zhou Wen was about to teleport away from Holy City, a boy with a backpack walked over. He looked to be about five or six years old. He wore a pair of wide black-framed glasses that covered most of his face.
At that moment, the boy was looking at him in puzzlement, his eyes constantly sizing him up.
âIâm passing by,â Zhou Wen answered.
âPassing by?â The boy looked back at the alley before returning his gaze to Zhou Wenâs face. His expression seemed to say: Are you an idiot?
Zhou Wen took a careful look and realized that the alley was a dead end. Furthermore, there was only one house in the entire alley, and there was only one door. Zhou Wenâs excuse of passing by seemed a little forced.
Zhou Wen didnât mind the details and said with a smile, âI took the wrong path. Iâll leave now.â
âWait,â the boy said as he placed his backpack on the ground. After opening it, he took out something and threw it at Zhou Wen. âConsider yourself lucky. Take this.â
Zhou Wen caught it and saw that it was a palm-sized crystal bottle with a golden liquid inside.
âWhatâs this? Why are you giving it to me?â Zhou Wen looked at the golden liquid in the tiny bottle before looking at the boy in puzzlement.
From the looks of it, the boy didnât seem to be deliberately plotting against him. Ignoring the fact that he wasnât suitable for such matters at his age, even if someone really wanted to scheme against Zhou Wen, no one knew that he had come to Holy City. It would be impossible for them to plot a scheme against him in advance.
âI forgot that ordinary people like you have never seen exclusive Mythical Serums before.â The boy revealed a look of enlightenment before saying to Zhou Wen, âItâs fine if you donât know what it is. This is Mythical Serum. Itâs very high-level and is somewhat different from the ones circulating on the market. Children above the age of three can use it. The effects arenât as intense as ordinary Mythical Serums. It wonât completely fuse with the consumer from the beginning. There will be a long process. This reduces the burden on your body. The effects of the fusion will be better and it will be more suitable for your body. However, you are a little too old. Even if you use it, the chances of you advancing to the Mythical stage are very slim. I suggest you give it to any children of yours. Itâs best if they are between three and six years old. Of course, you can use it yourself. It will still be beneficial.â
With that said, the boy packed his bag and picked it up again before turning to leave.
âWait.â Zhou Wen found the boy odd. He didnât know whose child it was.
âIs there something else you donât understand?â The boy turned around and asked Zhou Wen without any signs of impatience.
âWhy are you giving me this Mythical Serum?â Zhou Wen asked as he pointed at the tiny bottle.
The boy didnât answer him and only asked, âDonât you want it?â
âNo.â Zhou Wen shook his head.
The boy nudged his glasses with his finger and looked at Zhou Wen in puzzlement. âAccording to what I know, ordinary Mythical Serum is difficult to find. Many people are fighting to buy a bottle. Such a new Mythical Serum is priceless. Do you really not want it?â
As the boy spoke, he seemed to come to a realization. He looked at Zhou Wen and said, âYou donât have to doubt it. This Mythical Serum is genuine. Itâs from the Hui family. Look at the mark at the bottom of the bottle. No one will dare forge the mark of the Hui family in Holy City.â
âYour surname is Hui?â Zhou Wen asked the boy.
âThis has nothing to do with you. If you donât want it, you can return the Mythical Serum to me,â the boy said.
From his expression, Zhou Wen had zero doubts that the boyâs surname was Hui. However, he didnât know what relationship he had with Hui Haifeng.
âI believe this is a Mythical Serum and I want it. However, I didnât put in any effort. I canât take something from others for nothing. If thereâs anything you need me to do, we can make a deal. This way, it wonât be me getting it for nothing.â Zhou Wen knew that there had to be a reason for the boyâs odd actions. If he really had something to do with Hui Haifeng, Zhou Wen couldnât just ignore him.
The boy nodded as though he felt that Zhou Wenâs words made sense. However, he lowered his head and thought for a moment before muttering to himself, âBut I donât have anything I need you to do.â
âAnything is fine. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me,â Zhou Wen said.
The boy shook his head. âIf itâs something I find difficult, itâs even more impossible for you to complete.â
Why isnât this fellow cute at all? He doesnât sound like a child his age.
Zhou Wen was somewhat exasperated.
The boy thought for a moment and said again, âHow about this? You canât do something if itâs too difficult. Lead the way. Iâm going to Fireworks Lane to find a woman.â
