Chapter 314: Service

Words : 1947 Updated : Oct 3rd, 2025

After returning to his dorm, Chen Chuan placed the Snow Emperor Blade on the sword rack. He washed up, changed clothes, and returned to the living room. He had originally planned to watch Marginal Channel for a while before resting, but then he noticed the box in the corner. He had been so focused on taking medicine and training these past few days that he almost forgot about it. Actually, he wasn't expecting Secret Serpent Cult to give him anything good, so he hadn't paid much attention to it. Now that he had some time, he could see what was inside. He walked over, placed the box on the table, unlocked it, and found a tightly wrapped package. After removing the outer wrapping, he discovered that it was also wrapped in a layer of sealed mud, which made him curious. After peeling off and cleaning away all the mud, he finally discovered that the item inside was... an egg. This egg had a protective transparent biological membrane on it, and its entire body was light red. The color gradually faded from top to bottom, and the surface was very smooth. It felt good enough to be used as a decoration. Since it was a gift from Secret Serpent Cult, his first reaction was that it was a snake egg. He took a few glances, and couldn't help but wonder, was this thing meant to be eaten? Or did it have other uses? There was no explanation attached to the gift. And there was nothing else besides this. He didn't think too much about it and directly contacted Zou Handan to ask what exactly this thing was and what its use was. Zou Handan seemed very surprised and asked repeatedly to confirm that he had indeed received an egg from the box, then told him to wait a moment. After a while, he contacted him again and said, "Mr. Chen, I have inquired with internal personnel and understand the situation. Like other large companies, our Secret Serpent Cult has a biological breeding ground, and the biological tools that serve you come from there. Occasionally, biological eggs that do not meet our expectations will appear in the biological breeding ground. This does not mean that there is anything wrong with these creatures, only that they do not match our service requirements. Our usual practice for these biological eggs is to dispose of them on the spot or distribute them to researchers and followers who are willing to take them back. The one you received should have been mistakenly placed in a packaged gift by a follower. However, we can guarantee that it is not dangerous. If you find it unacceptable, we can exchange it immediately." Chen Chuan thought for a moment and decided that since he already had it, there was no need to exchange it. So he asked what was inside and how to hatch it. Zou Handan said, "Since these biological eggs have similar characteristics before hatching, even the people in the hatching room can't tell them apart without a special label, so we don't know what's inside. However, all biological eggs in the past three years only need to be kept at a constant temperature of forty degrees for about thirty days to hatch. Considering that you don't have hatching conditions, and to compensate for this oversight, we will send you a hatching box later." Chen Chuan said, "Then that's it." Zou Handan then said, "Since you contacted us, there is something I can take the opportunity to tell you. The service date has been set. Starting the day after tomorrow, you can come to us at any time to receive service. Is that alright with you?" Chen Chuan did not hesitate and said, "Then the day after tomorrow." Zou Handan immediately sent him a location and the corresponding procedures, saying that when he arrived, a dedicated person would be dispatched to assist him. Chen Chuan ended the call with him, glanced at the egg, and without removing the biological membrane, first put it back in the original box, preparing to deal with it after the hatching box arrived. He then returned to the sofa, opened Marginal Channel, and found that most of the discussion was still about the news he had seen before, discussing whether it was the work of Wei Wusheng. "Dancing on Bottle Caps" spoke as usual, believing that although the victims this time were passengers on a cruise ship and the methods were very similar to Wei Wusheng's, it should not be the work of Wei Wusheng. Because this time the victims were attacked in public and many scenes were leaked, he used various analyses of the victims' injuries and gave his reasons. However, although these words were still met with many rebuttals, many people also expressed their belief. Chen Chuan noticed that people below were opening bets, gambling on who Wei Wusheng would kill next and when, with a series of names listed below, some with photos attached. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He glanced at them and saw that many were martial artists who had been at the scene that day, even including him, Tan Zhi, Pan Xiaode, Qi Huixin, and others listed, but only with a surname and no specific name, with only a simple background introduction and record behind it. This form was likely obtained from the Rhinoceros Horn Cruise Ship. And all those who had died were crossed out with black lines. He glanced at it and realized that, unknowingly, over twenty people had died, some by Wei Wusheng and some suspected. But at this speed, and with Wei Wusheng's performance, it might not be long before it was his turn. He looked at the photo of Wei Wusheng posted in the upper left corner, thought for a moment, and then turned off the Boundary Token and went back to rest. The next morning, after he got up, he felt that the effects of the previous Green Pill had almost worn off, and Green Pouch Jade Pavilion was still waiting for his reply, so he re-contacted Green Pouch Jade Pavilion, saying that after careful consideration, he could continue taking the medicine. Fan Qingshan had been waiting for Chen Chuan's news for the past two days. When he heard the liaison report that Chen Chuan had agreed, he was overjoyed. But he wanted more data, so he asked the liaison to tentatively ask if he could continue next time. Chen Chuan's answer was still the same as last time, saying that he needed to consider it and did not give a clear answer. Fan Qingshan, however, judged from this that Chen Chuan had not refused outright, so he must believe that he had not reached his limit yet, but if they did not offer enough compensation, it would probably not be enough to get him to continue. After thinking it over, he said to the liaison, "I will speak to him myself." Chen Chuan was about to end the call when he suddenly heard a mature and steady voice, "Hello, Student Chen, I am Fan Qingshan, the supervisor of the countermeasure department of Green Pouch Jade Pavilion." After hearing this, Chen Chuan paused slightly, greeted him, and said, "Supervisor Fan, hello." Fan Qingshan said, "Student Chen, due to the limitations of the Company's drug categories, we cannot provide a better drug testing level for a martial artist of your limit. However, I can give you additional supplements. If you are willing to cooperate with this drug test, we can provide enough martial artist daily necessities for three months." After he finished speaking, he waited for the response. After waiting for a while, a young and clear voice came from the other side, "Okay." Fan Qingshan felt a slight sense of relief. These drugs were not worth mentioning to Green Pouch Jade Pavilion, but what they could get was valuable drug testing data. It was a win-win! He said, "Student Chen, happy cooperation." After ending the call, he immediately told the company employees in charge of this, "Get Chen Chuan's drug testing report to me as soon as possible." On the 31st, Chen Chuan came out of Mysterious Palace Tower early in the morning, got on the elevated highway, and headed to the Secret Serpent Cult's sect location. Secret Serpent Cult does not have its own company building. The sect headquarters is located in Fidelity Virtue District Crack Wave Canyon in the southwest corner of the city. Central City's largest inland lake, Zhaocai Lake, is located here. It is also a popular vacation destination for the city's upper-middle class. More than an hour later, he got off the elevated highway. It was the end of May, the weather was mild, and he could see luxury cars driving past him on the road. The Jiade car he was driving was unremarkable here. He thought to himself that the roads here were wide with few curves, and the scenery on both sides was very good. If he came again next time, he could drive that silver lightning. Ten minutes later, he arrived at Crack Wave Canyon and drove in from the straight road that had been opened up. On both sides were wave-shaped buildings built along the cliff walls and conforming to the shape of the mountains, divided into thirty-six layers. The upper and lower layers are connected to each other by spiral passages, which can be driven from outside the canyon to any point inside, and can also directly reach the viewing platform at the top. After arriving at the designated parking plaza and parking the car, he contacted Zou Handan using the Boundary Token. After waiting for less than two minutes, a young woman in her early twenties came over in a sightseeing car. She was wearing a clean white ancient costume, revealing her slender neck. A ribbon was tied around her waist. There were obvious implant-embedded lines on her neck, the back of her hands, and her calves. Getting out of the car, she came to Chen Chuan, bent her knees and bowed, "Hello, Mr. Chen. I am Zou Handan's assistant, Lin Yingzi. I am responsible for Mr. Chen's itinerary and service arrangements today. Please get in the car, Mr. Chen." Chen Chuan nodded and followed her into the internal sightseeing car, first driving out of the canyon passage. The endless, sparkling Zhaocai Lake was immediately revealed. The weather was very good today, sunny and not cold or hot. Facing the cool breeze blowing from the lake, the car drove along the lakeside avenue and entered a section of road shaded by greenery, immediately feeling a coolness. Chen Chuan heard the sound of birdsong and looked over, seeing many unfamiliar and gorgeous birds. However, because he had previously accessed Secret Serpent Cult's platform, the type and number of these creatures, as well as the environment they needed to grow, appeared on the Boundary Token each time he saw one. Lin Yingzi introduced, "These are ornamental creatures cultivated by our Secret Serpent Cult. Many are unique in China and abroad, and customers come here every year to buy them at great prices." Chen Chuan thought to himself, could the one that was sent to me earlier be one of these? Fifteen minutes later, the sightseeing car arrived outside an egg-shaped glass shed located on the edge of the lake. The sightseeing car stopped here, and Lin Yingzi said, "Mr. Chen, we have arrived."
