"An immortality?! Oh, wow! It's impossible!" Lin Fan exclaimed.
Seeing that Lin Fan was getting interested in the perfect immortality serum, the old Wang asked, "So Lin Fan... will you help me escort Shireen? After she creates the perfect immortality serum, could you please bring one for me?"
The old Wang revealed his true face.
Perfect immortality serum. A serum capable of turning zombies into humans. If his family manages to get hold of the serum, they will live happily ever after.
It may sound selfish, but it's all for the future of the Wang Family.
"Ughh, the old Wang, it's not that I don't want to help you, but...."
Lin Fan wanted to refuse this task. Because Shireen is dangerous. The old Wang and himself didn't conflict either. He also wanted to find Shireen to ask for weapons and secrets.
But now in front of him, the old Wang has already taken out many weapons and gold.
Lin Fan fell silent. His sentence was cut off by the clattering sound of items being let out by old Wang.
"Is all this enough?"
The old Wang looked at Lin Fan's gaping mouth and smiled.
"Old Wang, I…."
Crisp! Crisp!
Some gold came out of the old Wang ring again. Lin Fan fell silent again. He had already summoned the system in his heart.
'System, can all of this be converted to gold coins?'
[Ding! Please touch the items for confirmation!]
Lin Fan started to touch the gold coins that were in front of him as if looking at and weighing the authenticity of the items.
[Ding! Confirmed, goods are lower than Immortal Store currency. The conversion will be done on a 2:1 scale. Do you agree? (Yes/No)]
Lin Fan saw the system's reply on his retina and nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay! I can't guarantee to find Shireen. I can't guarantee her safety, either. However, I can promise to follow her lead and ask for information about the perfect immortality serum. How about it? Let's make a deal, The old Wang!"
Seeing that old Wang didn't respond, Lin Fan said, "Oh, c'mon the old Wang! Don't make things difficult for me! I'm just a new Hunter and my connections are limited."
Lin Fan's face was pitiful. In the face of money, his emperor's face was completely meaningless. The empire can live because there is money to run it. If there was no money, would there be an empire?
The Old Wang was satisfied to hear Lin Fan's words. He said, "I'm so sorry. With my current body, I would only be hunted by Hunters without being able to explain the truth."
"Nope, The old Wang. I feel you. I hope you stay safe and yes ... I take it all away."
Lin Fan ordered the system to convert items while touching all the gold coins and weapons.
He wasn't afraid of being discovered by the old Wang because the process was similar to putting an item into a storage ring.
'System, convert all items now!'
[Ding! Items detected. All are worth a total of 2000 gold coins. Do you agree? (Yes/No)]
With a tapping motion on the wind, Lin Fan pressed 'Yes'. Instantly, all the items disappeared right in front of the old Wang.
Old Wang's brows suddenly furrowed, and his thoughts became complicated.
'I don't sense any Qi energy fluctuations from this kid's storage ring at all. Shit! How am I going to get my stuff back, if I don't know where mine is?'
Suddenly, his heart fell apart. The reason the old Wang dared to take out a bounty to offer Lin Fan a mission was because of his confidence in getting the items back.
The old Wang planned to kill Lin Fan after he obtained the perfect immortality serum. And now, after the items are gone, he only hoped that Lin Fan's storage ring would be worth as much as the reward he offered.
Because if not, it means that the old Wang is doing business at a loss. The killing wasn't enough, he had to enslave Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was not aware of the old Wang's scheming. Because to him, the old Wang was the one, who was unlucky to be made a guinea pig by Shireen.
Lin Fan had no idea that Shireen was trying to heal the old Wang.
Lin Fan only got information from the old Wang and not from Shireen, even though the woman only wanted to cure old Wang.
What a beautiful misunderstanding!
"The old Wang, could you please show me the way out? I'll start chasing Shireen before she goes too far."
Lin Fan asked the old Wang in a polite tone.
"Alright. I'll take you flying. Please escort Shireen and bring back the perfect immortality serum for me! I'm excited for a normal life like you."
The old Wang stood up and tidied up all the tea set into his storage ring. He hugged Lin Fan's waist and jumped up.
"Get ready, Kid!" The old Wang warned Lin Fan.
Before Lin Fan had time to get ready, the two of them had already jumped up and arrived outside the cave.
Bam!
Lin Fan looked at the old Wang with an expression of disbelief, "Hey, the old Wang! Is your head as hard as concrete?"
The old Wang just smiled and ignored Lin Fan's joke. He immediately jumped down, back into his territory.
The former cave cracks returned to their original shape as old Wang left.
Lin Fan smiled wryly, and said, "Even a strong man like the old Wang was turned into a zombie by Shireen. The person behind Shireen must be scary."
Lin Fan shook his head. He remembered the immortality serum.
"However, is it true that the perfect immortality serum can turn a zombie into a human and reach the realm of immortality?"
Lin Fan walked carelessly and started to search for Shireen's trail.
"If that's true, then what effect would it have if humans drank the perfect immortality serum without becoming zombies?"
Lin Fan was still wondering about this theory. Has Lin Fan become immortal?
"System, is the news of the perfect immortality serum true?"
Lin Fan asked the expert.
[Ding! That's right. Once a zombie becomes human, he will be able to become immortal.]
"Then, what about me? Am I immortal?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
[Ding! The Host is Mortal.]
"Why I'm not immortal?"
Lin Fan felt something was wrong.
[Because the Host injects the perfect immortality serum when the Host isn't a zombie. So, immortality is invalid.]
As expected, this system is a total jerk. Lin Fan shouted, "Why didn't you tell me?!"
[Ding!
Error!
Error!
The system will enter self-repair.]
Ignored!
Lin Fan wanted to tear this black-hearted and shameless system to pieces. Even his emperor's demeanor was unable to calm his anger at the behavior of the system.
