Chapter 49 - 49 48 The People in Reality
Chapter 49: Chapter 48 The People in Reality Chapter 49: Chapter 48 The People in Reality What’s going on? Why the sudden grand gesture?
Moreover, Dane and Judy by the side remained indifferent, as if they saw nothing inappropriate about this behavior.
Chaoyang glanced sideways at Judy, who subtly shifted her gaze away.
What is she feeling guilty about!
Wait, a thought suddenly struck Chaoyang, and he silently activated Lingxi vision, looking again at Jenny.
A striking white light was gently radiating from Jenny!
This is… a prayer for a wish!
But upon closer inspection, it was different from the ownerless wishing power he had encountered before—those wishing power glows were mostly a pale grey-white, while the current white light leaned more towards creamy white, thick and clear. Its edge was not diffusing like smoke, but instead well-defined, indicating that this prayer for a wish was no longer an objectless plea…
It belonged to owned wishing power!
Jenny was praying for a wish to him!
Chaoyang, having come to this conclusion, was also stunned on the spot. To outsiders, he was just an obscure middle-aged detective. Even if he had some abilities, those were within the range of normal humans and definitely shouldn’t inspire such a level of trust.
Of course, this wasn’t the first bizarre encounter since he came to this world. For instance, under the display of Lingxi vision, the two fine strands of wishing power above Dane and Judy’s heads were still intermittently providing him with wishing power, about 3-4 points a day, even though there was no contract between them.
Well then, since there was wishing power to be acquired, there was no reason for him to refuse. Although Jenny displayed only a little wishing power, considering its unique form, Chaoyang decided he could only “inconvenience” Zhang Zhiyuan this time.
“The person you mentioned is no longer here.”
Jenny froze, “Not here means…”
“Exactly what you’re thinking,” Chaoyang feigned a sorrowful sigh, and without waiting for her response, continued, “But Zhang Zhiyuan has a brother named Zhang Qiang. He has also received medical teachings from that friend.”
“Qiang… Qiang?”
“Zhang Qiang.” Chaoyang corrected the nun’s pronunciation, “If Zhang Zhiyuan could help you, I believe Zhang Qiang can too.”
“Please let me meet him!” Jenny said without hesitation.
“Sure, I’ll contact him. But before that, we have to sign a contract.”
After formulating the contract content in his mind, Chaoyang directly transformed it into a scroll and unrolled it in front of the nun.
As long as Jenny met “Zhang Qiang” and accepted the impartation of medical truth, the contract would be considered fulfilled.
“No problem.”
She carefully read the contract and pressed her seal onto it.
“Well then, the contract is established.” Chaoyang didn’t want to delay, after all, the sooner he got a new body, the sooner he could expand the scale of Paradise game. He stood up and bid farewell to the three, “We’ll meet here again after I contact him… no, after the next round.”
…
After Chaoyang left, Judy patted the nun’s shoulder, “Don’t worry, Lord Chao will never disappoint you. Whatever he promises, he will surely resolve in the end.”
“Even if he’s willing to help, it ultimately depends on whether that person’s friend is willing to speak.” Jenny shook her head, “You have no idea how important these medical secrets are—I’ve never heard anywhere else of the method of boiling water to suppress curses; it’s clearly not widespread knowledge.”
“Maybe it could be exchanged for a lot of money, but that’s not what Paradise needs. I believe that those who choose to follow Lord Chao do so for the Paradise in their hearts.”
“You… have that much faith in him?”
Judy nodded, “Because we have seen with our own eyes.”
She had witnessed a group of people fight the police from the north of the city head-on to rescue a stranger, not retreating even when outnumbered and surrounded by flames. She had seen them assault Wangshui Manor for the righteousness in their hearts, despite it being surrounded by layers of Kuiqi’s bodyguards.
They not only possessed courage but also had powerful means.
With such people, the glory of the Paradise Master will eventually shine into everyone’s hearts.
“Then I look forward to it.”
“And don’t forget our agreement,” Judy said with a smile.
“Hmm… If he can really do what you said, fulfill the true wish in our hearts, then I am willing to believe in his lord too,” Jenny said.
…
Jiang City, Yuebai Hotel.
With a ding, the elevator stopped on the 22nd floor.
No sooner had Zhang Zhiyuan stepped out of the elevator than he heard the melodious sound of a violin. Following the music through the corridor, he arrived at a restaurant with elegant decor. The waiter at the door stopped him and apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry, sir, this is a private club, and you must be invited to enter.”
“I am a friend of Zhou Zhi,” he said impatiently.
The waiter quickly flipped through the guest list, “So you are Mr. Zhou’s friend, please come in.” Then he opened the glass door and gestured for him to enter.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn’t even glance at him and strode into the restaurant. He knew that those who came here were influential figures in Jiang City and that reservations were made privately, so as long as he could name a few regulars, he would basically face no obstacles.
The lobby wasn’t crowded, and right next to it were semi-open private booths similar to small rooms. Zhang Zhiyuan quickly found his target in one of the booths.
About seven or eight people were gathered inside, most of them young and beautiful girls. There were many opened bottles of wine on the table, and everyone was making a racket and drinking, creating a rather lively scene.
Zhang Zhiyuan walked straight into the booth and clapped his hands in front of the table.
His sudden intrusion took everyone by surprise.
At that moment, Zhang Zhiyuan’s attire stood out awkwardly from the youths—he was dressed in a burgundy suit, wearing pointy leather boots, and had a pair of oversized sunglasses perched on his nose, looking every bit the part of a debt collector from society’s underbelly.
Zhou Zhi, the host of the party, was already frowning, “Hey, who the fuck are you?”
Seeing that Zhou Zhi didn’t recognize him, two other men also reacted; one bounced up from the sofa, jumped in front of Zhang Zhiyuan, while the other, with a fierce look, raised his voice and barked, “Deaf? I’m talking to you!”
Zhang Zhiyuan nonchalantly took off his sunglasses and made a shooting gesture at Zhou Zhi, “You should have kept the gun steadier after the first two shots, instead of letting the muzzle rise so high.”
“Are you crazy? What the hell are you talking about?”
“Get him outta here—”
“Shut up, all of you!” Zhou Zhi’s eyes widened as he stood up abruptly, “Zhang… bro?”
“Didn’t we say we’d meet up if you were free? I’ve come to look for you in Jiang City,” Zhang Zhiyuan said with a smile.
“Damn, I didn’t think you were serious! Hahahaha…” He quickly pushed through the crowd and walked over, slinging an arm over Zhang Zhiyuan’s shoulder, “Guys, let me introduce my new friend, Brother Zhang!”
For a moment, everyone exchanged looks.
Zhou Zhi couldn’t care less about their reactions and pulled Zhang Zhiyuan back to the sofa by himself, “Brother, today you drink whatever you want, play whatever you want, it’s on me!”
“Is that so?” Zhang Zhiyuan grinned unabashedly, “Then I won’t hold back.”
…
Four hours later.
The two stumbled back to the VIP suite, drunk. Zhou Zhi flopped onto the sofa, saying contentedly, “Honestly, I haven’t been this happy in a long time.”
“Really? You seem to have plenty of friends…” Zhang Zhiyuan kicked off his shoes and settled on the edge of the sofa, “Take just now, for instance; you were the center of attention.”
“Eh, forget them. You know what they’re really after,” Zhou Zhi said dismissively, “It’s a pity they’ll never know that a place like Paradise exists. Brother, do you know… since I’ve come back, I’ve been dying to talk to someone about Paradise every day, nearly driving me insane, but in the end, I didn’t say a word. Can you guess why?”
“No one would believe you without experiencing it firsthand.”
“Exactly, no one would believe me!” He suddenly sat up, leaning forward to look at Zhang Zhiyuan, his eyes flashing with an indefinable emotion, “I knew you’d understand because you’ve seen Paradise too—brother, I have this illusion that Paradise divides people into two types, those who’ve been and those who haven’t. People like us… we’re no longer the same species as those frogs at the bottom of the well!”
What do you think?
