He added, "Because this is a counterfeit product, it's not equipped with an electromagnetic gun or pulse weapon. After all, these things were obtained through personal connections, haha. In fact, you generally wouldn't need weapons anyway."
Looking at the pieces of equipment in his hand, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The functions of these things... really give off a science fiction vibe!
“Most of the time you won’t need these anti-magnetic and anti-pulse leather jackets, but you can wear these leather shoes normally, since they’re not flashy.” Uncle Tian smiled and said, “You only do housework and don’t go out on fieldwork, so you don’t need these things. I’m just giving them to you as a precaution.”
"There's another problem," Chen Xiao thought for a moment, "about my ability. My power... seems to be beyond my control, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... how do I solve this?"
Old Tian smiled wryly: "I can't help you with this. The awakening of superpowers has always been a major research topic. Although the organization has a drug that can stimulate the awakening of superpowers, that drug is a prohibited substance, and its side effects are currently unknown, so I won't provide it to you—I don't have any on hand either. However, since the system has already detected your superpower—I remember when Lei Hu tested you last time, your superpower showed zero. But now it's gradually showing up, so I suppose your superpower will gradually awaken completely and eventually stabilize."
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and then said nothing more.
"Alright, all of these things are yours now." Old Tian looked at Chen Xiao and said seriously, "Chen Xiao, because you're a newcomer, we'll give you a lot of help with your first mission. But you must grow up quickly. As an agent, you need to be able to screen incoming missions, deciding which ones are acceptable and which ones are not. Especially missions that will cause us a lot of trouble—we will absolutely not accept them!! Also, as an agent, after accepting a mission, you need to develop an action plan and steps on your own. To put it simply, you are the commander, and we are just the executors. But you don't have these qualities yet. In the early stages, we will help you adapt little by little. In the long run, you'll have to rely on yourself for these things!"
Chen Xiao felt a chill run down his spine: Being an agent doesn't seem to be so easy after all...
Then Lao Tian's tone relaxed: "Alright, now that we've finished talking about the serious stuff, let's talk about Lu Chengzhe's request. Hey! Speaking of which, last night when you were asleep, I looked at the information he left behind in the car. This request is quite interesting."
He tossed a document to Chen Xiao.
Lu Chengzhe, male, 44 years old. Occupation: businessman.
Assets under his name: Era Technology Corporation, engaged in the electronic entertainment industry, with an estimated market value of US$260 million; Era Gemdale Properties Corporation, with an estimated market value of US$60 million.
Real estate: Times Building, XX Street, K City, valued at US$120 million. XX Block, K City, comprising 36 commercial properties, valued at US$40 million.
Other assets: 30% equity stake in XX Shopping Center in City K, valued at US$40 million.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
Although he was unfamiliar with the name Lu Chengzhe, he knew the names of Shidai Technology Company and Shidai Jindi Real Estate Company! Not only did he know them, but probably everyone in K City would be familiar with these two companies!
Era Technology Company has developed several highly popular online games in China and holds nearly half of the electronic entertainment industry market share in the surrounding provinces and cities of K City. Meanwhile, Era Golden Land Real Estate Company, along with Xu's Real Estate (founded by Xu Ershao's father), is considered one of the two giants of K City!
Even two years ago, before his parents passed away, the villa he lived in was located in a luxury villa district developed by this Times Gemdale Real Estate Company!
Moreover, this Lu Chengzhe has a very famous nickname in K City: "Lu Half-City," which means that the Lu family is so wealthy that they own almost half of the wealth in K City.
"That's all the information." Uncle Tian smiled slightly. "But when Lu Chengzhe came last night, I discovered something very interesting about him."
As he spoke, Old Tian pulled out a small glass bottle, no thicker than a finger, from his pocket and shook it in his hand: "Look, what's inside."
Chen Xiao leaned closer to take a closer look. Inside the delicate glass bottle was something the size of a grain of rice, red and crystal clear, like some kind of red crystal particle.
“I found this on Lu Chengzhe’s suit collar that day.” Uncle Tian smiled mysteriously. “Zhu Rong and Gonggong analyzed this thing and concluded that the composition of this red particle is: blood! Human blood! The subtle point is that this blood crystal seems to have been crystallized by an abnormal force. What interests us even more is that this particle also has an additional force attached to it. I personally suspect it might be some kind of telekinesis, that is to say…”
Uncle Tian looked into Chen Xiao's eyes and said, "The opponent that Lu Chengzhe encountered is not an ordinary human. We can already draw a preliminary conclusion: this is one of our kind, a superhuman. Moreover, it is very likely a mental superhuman."
Chen Xiao opened his mouth, then spread his hands: "So how do we handle this? I know I'm a newbie. So, how to proceed after taking on the mission is your job, and Zhu Rong's job is to do it, right?"
Uncle Tian smiled... but this kind-hearted uncle's smile was somewhat strange at this moment:
“Starting tomorrow, Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, and I will take turns monitoring Lu Chengzhe to see if we can find this hidden opponent. Unfortunately, none of the three of us are psychic, so we can only use this clumsy method of waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump. However, the data shows an additional situation that requires your help as well. Of course, you can also receive an extra reward after the mission, in addition to your agent's salary.”
Chen Xiao began to feel a faint sense of unease.
really……
“Lu Chengzhe has a daughter, eighteen years old, named Lu Xiaoxiao. She is Lu Chengzhe's only family member; his wife passed away a long time ago, and he has never remarried. Therefore, if the target is extortion, his daughter might also be included in their plans. And coincidentally, this Miss Lu attends a school that…” Old Tian's lips curled into a smile:
Kidd Academy.
Chapter 50 [Lu Xiaoxiao]
Lu Xiaoxiao, upon seeing this name, people would surely assume that the owner of the name must be a petite and cute girl—but you would be very wrong!
Unfortunately... there are far too many examples in this world of people who are not what they seem.
Lu Xiaoxiao and Chen Xiao are the same age and both attend Kidd Academy, but they are not in the same class.
In fact, Chen Xiao had never paid much attention to the other students at school. Of all the students, the only ones he knew were Xu Ershao and a few members of the karate club. Of course, now he also had to add Xiao Qing and Bai Cai MM.
As for the others, even if they stood right in front of Chen Xiao, he probably wouldn't be able to name them.
Given her lonely childhood and the mild autistic tendencies she experienced after her parents' death, Chen Xiao's behavior is understandable.
However, when Chen Xiao arrived at school the next morning and saw Lu Xiaoxiao from afar, he couldn't help but sigh for a while.
It's a complete misnomer, truly a misnomer!
Lu Xiaoxiao is not "small" at all. On the contrary, if she were to be renamed according to her size, Chen Xiao thinks she should be called "Fatty Lu" or "Big Lu".
It's not that Chen Xiao is too harsh; it's just that lately he's increasingly realized that a person's name and their personality aren't necessarily a good match. Take, for example, the incompatible couple Xiao Rou and Da Meng.
Lu Xiaoxiao is a full 175 centimeters tall—generally speaking, most girls who are taller than this would choose to become models.
However, Lu Xiaoxiao was not included in this category either. Besides being very tall, she was also quite heavy, weighing 75 kilograms, which was a fraction of her height.
Actually, she wasn't the "fat girl" type; she just looked a bit "swollen."
Her shoulders were a bit too broad, her arms were a bit too thick, and her waist... well, she could basically be considered "waistless".
It's worth mentioning that Lu Xiaoxiao is also a sports enthusiast...
Don't get me wrong, it's not volleyball or basketball, although her height is exceptional among girls.
Instead... it's judo!
