In Nanyan Hotel, a high-end hotel adjacent to a local high school.
Chen Ye, dressed in casual attire, entered the hotel. As soon as he arrived, he was greeted by two women with somewhat unusual figures.
"Hello, please follow us."
Hmm...
Why is there a strange sense of déjà vu?
Never mind.
Chen Ye followed the two women through the lobby, took the elevator, and arrived at the top floor of the Nanyan Hotel.
The top floor was a vast suite, decorated in opulent luxury with dazzling lights. Numerous women dressed in uniform stood in two long rows, their movements uniform and precise, expressions identical.
Besides these women, there were others constantly working in the suite, moving according to some pattern, following certain instructions.
Recalling the moment he entered the hotel, the female staff outside seemed to exhibit the same uniformity and regulation.
Now, the entire Nanyan Hotel seemed like a massive beehive.
And these women were the worker bees.
But speaking of which, were there any male staff members here?
The answer was obvious.
None.
At that moment, the Queen Bee, dressed in a white bodycon dress and a fur coat, approached Chen Ye with a smile.
"Master Os's presence brings glory to my humble abode."
Chen Ye glanced at the surrounding women, "004, have you ever heard a saying?"
"If a person keeps working, they will die."
The Queen Bee blinked, "Oh, you're referring to this matter."
"Rest assured, my employees have ample time for rest every day. You don't need to worry about that. I cherish them as I cherish the flowers beneath the hive."
...
Chen Ye followed the Bee Queen to a round table where a 3D model of the entire Northern Ridge City was displayed.
"Is this the gift you mentioned?"
The Bee Queen pointed towards an industrial area by the coast on the outskirts of Northern Ridge.
"No, this is."
"I thought you might need a larger and absolutely safe base, so I bought all the factories and land in the South Bay area."
"Of course, the success of this transaction was largely thanks to the power you bestowed upon me."
The Bee Queen said with a smirk.
"You just said... you bought all the factories and land in the entire South Bay area?"
"Yes, but it seems it's still too small…" the Bee Queen murmured.
How did she do it?
Such a large piece of land, dozens of factories?
...
After that, Chen Ye thought all night long.
Not because he figured it out, but because it was dawn.
After waking up in the suite, breakfast was quickly delivered to Chen Ye.
However...
"The Bee Queen's abilities deviate from my initial expectations by more than just a bit."
Chen Ye envisioned the Bee Queen as an entity that could independently generate more special life forms, not use bodily fluids to transform and control humans.
"I'll take some blood from 004 later for further research."
"Let's see where the problem really lies."
Chen Ye pondered, and suddenly the Bee Queen pushed the door and entered the room, "Lord Os, what do you think about yesterday's matter?"
Chen Ye nodded, "It's good, go ahead and develop it. Also..."
"Give me some of your blood."
"Blood?"
The Bee Queen blinked.
...
In the afternoon.
Chen Ye carried a black briefcase and went downstairs. As he did, he brushed past a young man.
"Hmm... What's this?"
Chen Ye suddenly turned his head and saw the young man walking with a short-haired woman, appearing unremarkable.
However, Chen Ye felt a strange sensation.
It was as if a rat had seen a grain store, a vampire had entered a blood bank, and a lecher had encountered a married woman.
"Prime material!"
Chen Ye's breathing suddenly became rapid, but he didn't approach the young man.
Instead, he turned around and took a photo, sending it to the Fish Man.
"Find a way to get some blood from him."
100 milliliters should be enough.
...
At the same time, the Fish Man received Chen Ye's call at a snack stand.
"Find a way... to kill him?"
Hmm...
"Boss, check, please."
The Fish Man said, taking out a few crumpled, damp banknotes and slapping them on the table.
The stall owner watched his departing back with increasing suspicion.
"Who wears a raincoat on a sunny day?"
...
Night fell, and today's Northern Ridge City was not raining.
The Fish Man walked on the street, occasionally glancing at his phone.
"Are you sure he's here, 004?"
"Yes, the girl with that kid is one of my drone bees. No matter where they are, I can know."
"They last returned to this school, and since then, their location hasn't changed." The voice of the Bee Queen came from the phone.
"The target's name is Chu Yang, a high school sophomore. According to my drone bee's report, he's been acting very odd recently, his physical abilities have unreasonably increased, and he's always talking about some game. Be cautious."
The Fish Man put down the phone, with a high school in front of him.
"Another school."
The Fish Man stepped forward, but suddenly a security guard emerged from the guard room, "Hey, hey, what are you doing? No entry for outsiders!"
Hmm?
"Old man, I knew a guy, he lived to be over ninety and was still strong and healthy. Do you know why?"
Hearing the Fish Man's words, the old man paused, "Why?"
"Because he minded his own business."
Bang!!
With that, the Fish Man kicked and shattered the railing in front of the gate!
The old man's eyes widened in shock, and the Fish Man glared at him, causing the old man to silently retreat back into the room.
Just as the Fish Man was about to proceed, the old man suddenly rushed out with a pitchfork!
"You think I'm scared! Back in the day, I was a tough guy in Copper Bay!"
"Even if it's not just you, even if... Tyson came today, I would...!"
Crack!
The Fish Man grabbed the pitchfork, easily breaking it in two with a slight effort.
The old man: "…"
Dropping the pitchfork, the old man turned back to get another one from the security room!
"Even if Tyson himself showed up today, I would...!"
Crack!
The pitchfork broke again, and the Fish Man sneered, "Old man, you're already one foot in the grave, wouldn't it be better to live a bit longer? Why bother?"
The old man, gritting his teeth, threw a punch at the Fish Man!
"I've also trained in Bajiquan!"
The old man's punch was formidable, stirring the air around him, but the Fish Man slowly lifted his foot and kicked directly at the old man's chest!
Bang!
"I'm not here to kill you, it's best you don't stand in my way."
The old man was kicked to the ground, but still stubbornly tried to get up, "I can't let you through. You said it yourself, I'm already one foot in the grave. Life and death mean little to me now!"
"Ah!!"
Bang.
The Fish Man punched, hitting the old man directly in the face.
The old man was knocked down again, this time failing to get up for a long while.
Seeing this, the Fish Man snorted coldly. Just as he was about to step into the campus, an old hand grabbed his ankle.
"Pfft..."
The old man spat out a mouthful of bloody spit, mixed with two teeth.
"All inside are... the flowers of our motherland, I can't let you... let you in..."
The Fish Man looked up to see the nearby surveillance cameras being pulled down by a girl with wings.
After doing this, the girl turned back to give him an OK gesture.
Seeing this, the Fish Man lifted his right foot, then heavily stomped down!
