The Perfect Destiny

Pandora’s Box [10]

Wang Yangzi’s ex boyfriend inexplicably gained an invisibility ability.

However, the other ability users didn’t find this power very strong. After all, after becoming ability users their five senses were heightened and even if someone deliberately slowed their steps they could still clearly hear their footsteps. The most awkward thing was...... that man could become invisible but the things on his body couldn’t.

The duration of an ability would be relatively short when being used for the first time. Wang Yangzi looked at her ex-boyfriend with disgust.

However, no one cared about what would happen to this man. After all he was just a test subject to confirm if Chen Liguo’s drug worked.

This drug could not only turn some ordinary people into ability users but even strengthen abilities. For example, a person who could only bend spoons with their mind could now destroy tall buildings and lift cars. In short, their ability would increase several-fold.

The second person to use this powerful drug was one of Bai Yanlou’s subordinates.

Chen Liguo injected it into their body with an apathetic expression.

That person was still joking with Chen Liguo, telling him to not be angry with them anymore.

Once the drug entered their body the ability user let out a miserable shriek.

Bai Yanlou was watching from the side. Seeing this he turned his head and looked at Chen Liguo.

Chen Liguo coldly pushed up his glasses and said, "It’s a normal reaction."

Bai Yanlou nodded.

After the screaming the body of the ability user began to mutate. His muscles and bones began to deform slightly then his body began to heal rapidly.

When it was all over the man gave a miserable cry, hurting the ears of those listening.

Chen Liguo saw this and knew that it was almost over.

Bai Yanlou narrowed his eyes slightly——Seeing this expression Chen Liguo felt like he was looking at a cunning fox calculating something.

Bai Yanlou reached out and hugged Chen Liguo. He said with a low smile, "Darling, you don’t know just what you’ve changed......"

Chen Liguo thought, ’How do I not know? Haven’t I accelerated the progress of the world’s destruction?’

When this drug was revealed the backs of Bai Yanlou’s ability users instantly straightened up.

However, the only drawback of this drug was that its yield was too little. Bai Yanlou felt that this defect could be slowly improved.

As soon as this drug came out Bai Yanlou’s itinerary became very busy.

Chen Liguo began to eat luxurious double-layered meal boxes with four drumsticks and four ribs every day.

Wang Yangzi was so idle she had nothing to do and came to chat with Chen Liguo every day. She said, "Professor He, did you know that Boss Bai is super popular outside?"

Chen Liguo glanced at Wang Yangzi and said nothing.

Wang Yangzi continued to set her boss’s backyard on fire and said, "I went out with the boss a few times and saw people being sent over to him at night all the time......"

Chen Liguo looked at the reagent in front of him. His tone didn’t change at all as he asked, "Then did he do it?"

Wang Yangzi laughed ’hehehe’ and said, "How would Boss dare ah! I’ve only seen Boss with you!"

Thank goodness he didn’t dare, Chen Liguo thought.

With the expansion of "White Salt" and Bai Yanlou’s carrot and stick manner the world governments began to gradually tolerate the presence of ability users.

This was quite different from the original world’s development.

In the original world’s trajectory He Chenyou had developed the drug before the base was destroyed. At that time, when the base was blown up a large number of ability users had already used the drug causing a lot of issues when Bai Yanlou’s organization tried to take them in.

Some powerful ability users had to be beaten by Bai Yanlou before they were willing to submit. Even so, the havoc of ability users fighting was astonishing and the contradictory views of the public intensified day by day.

It was different now. Bai Yanlou had created a very healthy image and these ability users who didn’t indiscriminately kill innocents became the longing of the populace. The government’s attitude was much more mild compared to the previous world.

Chen Liguo said to the system, "This is probably the most positive effect of delaying it’s production."

The system unexpectedly felt that Chen Liguo made a lot of sense.

Having developed this drug Chen Liguo’s work began to slow down, so he started making some strange things. For example, what capsule that’ll make you can’t help but go find the person you like and confess after eating ah? Or what spray that’ll make you want to sing ah? They were all fantastic oddities with varying effects.

Wang Yangzi tried it once and swore that she would never touch it ever again because after eating it she couldn’t control herself and went to find the ability user she had a secret crush on and then publicly confessed with a bashful face.

The most unexpected thing was that the person she confessed to had agreed.

After the drug’s effect faded they confirmed their relationship as one between boyfriend and girlfriend. Wang Yangzi came to find Chen Liguo, looking like she was going to faint. Chen Liguo’s attitude was very cold. He said, "Didn’t I tell you to stop eating things randomly?"

Wang Yangzi said, "This drug smells too tempting. I like strawberry candy the most."

Chen Liguo thought about it and then said, "Alright, I’ll change them to grapes."

Wang Yangzi: "......"

Forget it, forget it. In any case this could be counted as Chen Liguo helping her. It was just that Wang Yangzi felt like her heart would jump out when she thought about what she did.

Those two days Wang Yangzi hung around Chen Liguo’s laboratory who didn’t know what she wanted to do. It wasn’t until the girl suddenly brought a mango flavored drink one day that he realized what her plan was.

Wang Yangzi handed the drink to Chen Liguo and said, "Professor He, try it. This is freshly squeezed mango juice made by me."

Chen Liguo looked at her and said, "You didn’t put my drug into the drink did you?"

Wang Yangzi refuted, "How could that be possible!" Her eyes were somewhat shifty.

Chen Liguo sounded an ’oh’, accepted the drink and drank half of it.

Wang Yangzi immediately showed a curious expression.

Who would have thought that Chen Liguo would continue stand there doing experiments after drinking it showing no intention of going out to find anyone.

Wang Yangzi was in disbelief. She asked, "Professor He, you really don’t like anyone?"

Chen Liguo just knew it. He said, "No."

Wang Yangzi asked, "You don’t like Boss?"

Chen Liguo asked, "Why would you think that I like him?"

Embarrassment showed on Wang Yangzi’s face. She had seen Chen Liguo and Bai Yanlou together ever since they left the base, so she naturally thought that they were a couple. However, she never thought about what Bai Yanlou had done to Chen Liguo. Ever since the beginning Chen Liguo wasn’t willingly in a relationship with Bai Yanlou. Because his own strength wasn’t great enough he was forced to become Bai Yanlou’s.

Wang Yangzi thought about this and inexplicably felt a little unbearable in her heart. She said, "Professor He......"

Chen Liguo glanced at her.

Wang Yangzi stammered, "You, do you want to leave boss Bai?"

This was a good question. Chen Liguo pushed his glasses back in place and then with a light expression, asked, "Can I leave him?"

Bai Yanlou would never let him leave.

Wang Yangzi bit her lips and seemed like she wanted to say something but was hesitating. Indeed, with Bai Yanlou’s character even if he did not like Chen Liguo it was impossible for him to let Chen Liguo go with the value he held.

After that Wang Yangzi left. Chen Liguo didn’t know what the girl went to do. It wasn’t until night when Bai Yanlou suddenly appeared in the laboratory that Chen Liguo reacted. She had actually made Bai Yanlou eat the drug......

When Bai Yanlou came in Chen Liguo had just changed out of his protective clothing and was washing his hands in the sink.

Chen Liguo felt someone hugging him from behind and then bury his head in the crook of his neck. He heard him say indistinctly, his voice with a tint of grievance, "Baobao, I like you."

Chen Liguo paused.

"I like you." He said this, then turned his head and kissed Chen Liguo’s ear.

Chen Liguo was kissed by Bai Yanlou to the point where he was on pins and needles. He said, "What are you doing? This is outside."

Bai Yanlou said, "I don’t care. You are mine." There was a faint blue tint in his eyes. Coupled with his perfect face he was just like a bewitching demon. It was as though Chen Liguo would be dragged down to hell the second he agreed to his contract.

Chen Liguo hadn’t expected Bai Yanlou to really like him.

That evening some people who were out for a walk saw their boss carrying professor He in his arms while walking back to their home with a happy face and all expressed their anger at Bai Yanlou’s dog food distributing action.

Bai Yanlou’s muddled state lasted for a night.

He sensed that something was wrong with him the next morning and his first sentence was, "You drugged me?"

Chen Liguo’s entire person was a bit dazed and was a bit unpleasant upon being woken up by Bai Yanlou. He said, "How could I drug you?"

Bai Yanlou thought about it and acknowledged that this was true. He was running outside every day, so Chen Liguo had no chance to come into contact with him. It would be strange if he could drug him.

Bai Yanlou furrowed his brows and asked, "Then how could I be like that yesterday?"

Chen Liguo did not sell Wang Yangzi out and said, "How would I know."

Bai Yanlou seemed a little vexed. He hugged him and rubbed the top of Chen Liguo’s head. He said, "I like you so much, do you like me a little?"

Chen Liguo looked at him and said, "Yes." I quite like your face......

Bai Yanlou got Chen Liguo’s affirmative answer but still wasn’t happy. He thought about how he liked Chen Liguo so much but Chen Liguo only liked him that tad bit.

Chen Liguo, who went to sleep late at night, showed a little bit of tiredness and with a yawn, said that he still wanted to sleep.

Bai Yanlou let out a light sigh and let him sleep.

When Chen Liguo woke up again Bai Yanlou was already gone. Chen Liguo got up and washed himself before he directly went to find Wang Yangzi.

Wang Yangzi’s reaction confirmed Chen Liguo’s guess. Her gaze was somewhat shifty as she asked, "Professor He, what’s up?"

Chen Liguo asked, "You made Bai Yanlou eat the drug?"

Wang Yangzi saw how certain Chen Liguo was and knew that she couldn’t get rid of this blame, so she nodded helplessly.

Chen Liguo said, "I won’t give you the other drugs I develop next time."

Wang Yangzi heard this and became anxious. She said, "Professor He, don’t ya. I just wanted to know whether Boss Bai is sincere about you or not...... If not, I could help you escape!" When she reached the second half of her sentence her voice became noticeably quieter.

Chen Liguo asked, "Escape?"

"That’s right." Wang Yangzi said.

Chen Liguo asked, "Bai Yanlou would let me leave?"

Wang Yangzi said, "Actually, I already sounded out Boss Bai. He’s willing to let you go if you hand over the method of making the drug."

Chen Liguo asked, "Do you still think so?"

Wang Yangzi said, "I......" She was sure of it previously but after seeing Bai Yanlou unexpectedly searching for Chen Liguo after eating the drug her mind was wavering.

With Bai Yanlou’s character how could he easily let go of the person he likes?

Chen Liguo smiled bitterly.

Wang Yangzi felt a little sad when she saw Chen Liguo’s smile and could see that he was unhappy in the base......

Chen Liguo said, "Forget it." After saying this he turned and left. Wang Yangzi stood where she was and showed a look of sorrow. She noticed teeth marks on Chen Liguo’s wrist. Professor He must have had a very difficult time last night......

However, the one who had a difficult time last night may not have been Chen Liguo but the system......

Chen Liguo said, "Haiya, I didn’t expect that Bai Yanlou would actually like this one."

System: "......"

Chen Liguo asked, "If you ate this drug would you also come find this one?"

The system said, "I might come straight over to you and stab you to death."

Chen Liguo: "......" You just like me dying, right?

Chen Liguo profoundly felt that there was no more love between him and the System, there was only a physical relationship......

Later on, when Bai Yanlou found out that it was Wang Yangzi who had drugged him, the first thing he said when he found Chen Liguo was, "I don’t like you ah."

Chen Liguo: "......" Tsk, are you a girl in puberty, still needing to come over to say one line.

Bai Yanlou said, "There must be something wrong with your drug." Who knew if the people outside would be shocked till their jaw dropped if they saw their Boss Bai who was usually so steadfast in front of outsiders show such a childish appearance.

Chen Liguo put down the reagent in his hand and asked, "You came over just to say this?"

Bai Yanlou said, "You spend my money to research these baffling things?"

Chen Liguo: "......"

Bai Yanlou asked, "Do you still have that drug?"

Chen Liguo asked, "What do you want to do?"

Bai Yanlou was silent for half a day before he bashfully asked, "Have you eaten it?"

Chen Liguo: "......"

Bai Yanlou looked at Chen Liguo’s reaction and furrowed his brows, his tone chilling. "You ate it?"

Chen Liguo: "...... No......"

Bai Yanlou exclaimed, "You’re lying to me!"

Chen Liguo: "......" Yes, I’m lying to you.

Bai Yanlou’s mood suddenly became irritable. He accused, "He Chenyou, you actually didn’t come find me after eating it!"

Chen Liguo was shocked by Bai Yanlou’s unreasonableness. He wanted to say, ’It’s not like I ate □□, what would I find ya for ah?’ But since Bai Yanlou was currently a keg of powder about to blow up Chen Liguo could only swallow his words.

Bai Yanlou wanted to light a cigarette but he was stopped by Chen Liguo who said, "This is the laboratory, if you want to smoke do it outside."

Bai Yanlou grabbed Chen Liguo and pulled him out of the laboratory.

Chen Liguo’s attitude towards Bai Yanlou had always been neither salty nor light. This time was the same.

Bai Yanlou asked, "He Chenyou, what do you mean? So it turns out you don’t like me?"

Chen Liguo said, "When did I say I like you?"

Obvious anger was visible in Bai Yanlou’s eyes. He said, "He Chenyou, you’re really something."

Chen Liguo pursed his lips.

Bai Yanlou directly turned and left.

Chen Liguo thought, ’Wang Yangzi, look at the good thing you’ve done, provoking your family’s boss! Be careful about your salary ah!’

In the end, Chen Liguo found out a few days later that the person whose salary was reduced was himself.

When the next batch of experimental materials came over Chen Liguo noticed that it was only half the previous amount.

Because of this Chen Liguo went to find Bai Yanlou but this bastard simply said, "Don’t spend excess materials on these baffling things."

Chen Liguo: "......" This man is so stingy.

When Bai Yanlou spoke with Chen Liguo he was holding a cute boy in his arms. The boy sat on Bai Yanlou’s lap and fed him grapes.

Chen Liguo thought that this method of making people jealous was too elementary. It could be seen with a glance that Bai Yanlou had never been in love before.

Chen Liguo said, "Alright." After saying this he left. He didn’t argue and even closed the door lightly when he left.

As soon as Chen Liguo left, Bai Yanlou said, "Scram. To actually fucking sit on my lap."

The boy got off of Bai Yanlou’s lap and said with a Sichuanese dialect, "Ya’ ma’s a prostitute, no wonder other people don’t like you. Look at your stupid turtle grandson appearance."

Bai Yanlou said, "...... If you can you do it?"

The boy said, "If I want to do it would you let me?"

Bai Yanlou thought, ’Obviously not, if you really want to top me I’ll have to castrate you.’

The boy said, "I’m telling you, it can be seen with a glance that you haven’t been in love before——" He reached a consensus with Chen Liguo.

Bai Yanlou asked, "Then give me a plan?"

The boy said, "Let me tell you, you have to be more generous when you’re in love. If you’re so stingy then other people won’t be able to stand it."

Bai Yanlou asked, "How can I be generous?"

The boy said, "Don’t lock him up. Let him out and experience the dangers of the outside world. Only then would he realize how wonderful it would be to return to your side."

Bai Yanlou: "......"

The boy said, "Why aren’t ya talking?"

Bai Yanlou faintly asked, "Do you know Wang Yangzi?"

The boy was puzzled. "Wang Yangzi? Who? Someone in your base?"

Bai Yanlou pressed, "You really don’t know them?"

The boy said, "Say who they are ah, I might know how they look and just don’t know their name."

Bai Yanlou profoundly said, "Oh, it’s good that you don’t." Otherwise I would have thought that you two were in a group together.

Chen Liguo didn’t know that he had several allies helping him. After he left he kept thinking of that scene just now. action

The system asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Chen Liguo said, "Thinking about Bai Yanlou......"

The system wanted to say, ’You couldn’t have fallen in love with Bai Yanlou could you?’ when it heard the rest of Chen Liguo’s sentence, "’s grapes."

System: "......"

Chen Liguo said, "They look so sweet." Each one was sparkling and pure, plump and full. They looked sweet and juicy.

System: "......"

Chen Liguo wondered, "How much is a pound of this grape ah."

The system was silent for two seconds and then said, "No matter what, it should be eight yuan."

Chen Liguo exclaimed, "Damn, Bai Yanlou, I hate you!"

The system thought about how the boy in Bai Yanlou’s arms didn’t even have the aggro pull of eight yuan per pound of grapes in Chen Liguo’s eyes. For a time it actually felt a bit of sympathy for Bai Yanlou.

Because of those eight yuan per pound grapes, Chen Liguo was angry for an entire day .

Everyone noticed that Professor He’s mood was bad and that his temper wasn’t as good as usual that day.

When Bai Yanlou learned that Chen Liguo was angry he couldn’t tell what he felt in his heart. He thought, ’My plan finally worked, Chen Liguo must be eating vinegar because of the boy, so he’s not happy.’

This idea was confirmed in the evening because when Chen Liguo came back to sleep at night and found that the bunch of grapes on the table were gone he directly slammed the door shut.

Bai Yanlou chuckled behind Chen Liguo’s back.

Chen Liguo was so angry he circled around downstairs and thought that he wouldn’t be able to sleep. Just seeing Bai Yanlou’s silly face made him angry, so he simply didn’t return at all and spent the night in the lab.

As a result, when he came home for lunch the next day he actually saw Bai Yanlou holding another boy in his arms. This wasn’t the main point, the main point was that this adulterous couple were actually eating Chen Liguo’s favorite mangosteen——the peels had already piled into a small mountain.

Chen Liguo: "I officially announce: Bai Yanlou, this bastard has lost me."

System: "......"

Chen Liguo said, "I am going to kill him!"

The system couldn’t help but applaud Chen Liguo.

However, Bai Yanlou still didn’t know at the moment that because of 13 yuan per pound mangosteens, he had actually lost his beloved Professor He. He was still secretly rejoicing in his heart, thinking that sure enough, his family’s He Chenyou was angry again. He Chenyou really did care about him!

However the boy in Bai Yanlou’s arm felt that Chen Liguo’s expression seemed a little off. He said with hesitation, "Is that one in your family really jealous? How come I think that there’s something off?"

Bai Yanlou was full of confidence. He said, "He must be jealous. I’m so good looking, how could he not like me?"

If Chen Liguo knew what Bai Yanlou was thinking, he would probably say, ’What’s ’good looking’? Can you be better looking than 13 yuan per pound mangosteen?’——Chen Liguo who said these words seemed to have forgotten that he was once a beauty lover as well.

The Author Has Something To Say:

The weather is getting cold, begging for a wave of nutrients to stay warm. Lueluelue~~~

Thank you darlings for the mines, grenades, and rockets.

StormFrost: I’m actually a bit curious, did Chen Liguo nullify the drug? Or is it because the object of his body’s love is research? Hmmm

On another note, I will need to cancel Tuesday’s chapter. Although classes are now online, freeing up commute time my sleeping schedule just died and my assignments are still on. I’ll be done most of them after Tuesday so I’ll see you all Saturday, March 28!
