Chapter 761: Chapter 761: So That’s How It Is
The crystal core had also been sprinkled with cleaner by Huang Yunxiang and was completely rinsed clean by now. The dirty water on the ground was condensed by her into a water ball and dropped into a nearby pond connected to the sewer.
Clap, clap, clap!
Kou Ning gave a round of applause, “Not only do you guys have supplies, but you all seem quite capable too. Why don’t I just hang out with you guys from now on?”
“…”
The family was all surprised. How could he tell they were all quite capable?
And what did he mean by hanging out with them? Didn’t they plan to sneak away as soon as possible?
“Hahaha, this kid is quite interesting. If you dislike your boss so much, why don’t you find another team? With your skills, you should be welcomed anywhere, right?”
Nie Qing was the first to burst into laughter and asked, since the girl mentioned that Kou Ning might become their enemy later, they might as well stir the pot now while they had the chance.
“Because you can afford me. I’ll kill zombies, and all you need to do is feed me meat. I know other teams too; they’re all miserably poorer than monks,”
Kou Ning replied.
Nie Qing glanced at Lu Hao and showed a meaningful smile.
There’s hope…
At that time, Lin Xiuyuan and Lin Yunguo also came out carrying package after package of stewed meat. Considering that Kou Ning seemed to lack Space Element Ability, Lin Yunguo had just specifically entered the space to find some sturdy food bags and travel packs, filling several large travel packs with meat.
Su Jin appeared only for a moment, took out these items, and immediately dashed back into the space before Lin Yunguo could tell her that these were to be sold to Kou Ning.
“Sorry about that, but our team can’t always hunt mutant animals, and we can only manage to prepare and sell this meat while we’re here. Otherwise, we’re usually roughing it outdoors, subsisting on dry cakes,”
Lu Hao replied.
Seeing that Kou Ning indeed looked disappointed, Nie Qing played along,
“Ah right, Da Ming, remember that base we visited before? Wasn’t there a shop that sells meat all year round? Which base was that again?”
Nie Qing scratched his head, pretending he couldn’t remember.
Kou Ning immediately brightened up again. A shop that sells meat all year? Not a team?
“Dumbass, we’ve been to so many bases, which one could be like the S City base with its shops? You’re talking about their Heart Talk Store, aren’t you?”
Lu Guanhai also saw what master and disciple were playing at, and joined in the act.
The three of them looked simultaneously toward Kou Ning, wondering how he would react.
A capable zombie killer, they really didn’t want to be his enemy if possible!
Unexpectedly, Kou Ning seemed to be stunned for a moment; he suddenly remembered something Han Zhimin had mentioned to him in passing.
“S City base, Heart Talk Team,”
Kou Ning muttered. What was the connection between Heart Talk Team and Heart Talk Store?
“Young man, you know them?”
Lin Yunguo and Lin Xiuyuan placed the packed meat in front of Kou Ning and asked.
“Never been, don’t know, just heard, you mean you can really buy meat in that store and just pay with crystal cores?”
Kou Ning squatted down to open a travel pack and took a sniff, his expression immediately relaxed.
“We’ve traveled far and wide, of course, we’ve seen a lot and know a lot. If you have any questions, just ask us,”
Nie Qing had intended to pique Kou Ning’s curiosity, but now he was curious why Kou Ning knew about the Heart Talk Team.
“So… do you know if there’s a way that can suddenly make someone suffer from crippling headaches? What is that?”
Kou Ning stood up and asked.
The kind of headache that cracks your skull can only come from a Level Three Mental Element Ability, right?
“Understood.”
Lu Hao looked at Kou Ning, a guess forming in his mind.
“What is it?! Have you seen it? Can it be resolved?!”
Kou Ning was unusually agitated, the pain was unbearable; otherwise, he would definitely lose control and kill Han Yue.
“What you’re referring to is probably not an ’item’ or a ’method,’ but rather a Special Ability.”
“Special Ability?”
Seeing this, Lu Hao began to explain the Mental Element Ability to Kou Ning.
“We’ve only heard of it. There are hardly any people in the world who possess this ability, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to counter it. You just need to… stay away from him, get out of his control range.”
“That’s it?”
Kou Ning was stunned; he always thought Han Family had placed a curse on him when he wasn’t paying attention, able to make him suffer intensely just by their command. Could it really be as simple as this man suggested, just running away?
That seemed… too easy, right?
“The Mental Element Ability is primarily a support ability; attacking isn’t its strong suit, and I’ve heard it drains a lot of the user’s Special Ability,”
Lu Hao said with a smile.
“…”
Upon hearing this, Kou Ning burst into laughter, his laughter somewhat maniacal as he simply sat down on the ground, his thin back spasming as he unleashed all his strength into his laughter.
This…
“I thought it was some kind of witchcraft, but it’s just an intangible Special Ability? What a load of crap hahaha…”
Kou Ning said, laughing as if he had just heard the biggest joke ever.
The family now felt some sympathy for Kou Ning; in his previous life, had Kou Ning also been under Han Yue’s mental control when carrying out those assassination missions?
“Young man, the meat I prepared last night is still quite juicy; it weighed a bit heavy, so I’m giving this pack to you as a compensation,”
Lin Yunguo stuffed a bag of braised pork into the pile, then pressed down tightly on several travel bags.
“Is the meat from the Heart Talk Store as delicious as these?”
Kou Ning opened a pack of food that hadn’t been stuffed away yet and began devouring it directly, he was starving.
“There… might be tastier than what I make here…”
After all, the braised meat at the Heart Talk Store was carefully made with his old master sauce, and everything from the quality of the meat to the cooking method, including the ingredients, were much more elaborate than what was available here, Lin Yunguo thought as he answered.
“Old man, the meat you make is the tastiest in the world; no other place can compare to yours,”
Kou Ning suddenly said.
“Hahaha, you young man, so are you heading there next?”
Lin Yunguo also asked curiously.
Kou Ning nodded, continuing to eat as he slung backpack after backpack over his shoulders, “I’ll go check it out, just not sure if it’ll suit me.”
“Go on then, follow the rules, young man, don’t let bitterness consume you. I, a long-term recluse, have adapted to all sorts of places; what difficulties could you possibly have?”
Nie Qing said with a smile, even living secluded in the mountains, one must adhere to the rules of nature there.
“I’m off, hope to see you guys again,”
Kou Ning, laden with backpacks, saw steps of metal plates appear mid-air, leading straight to the top of the cottage’s yard wall. With a meat bone still in his mouth, he waved to the family behind him and jumped down…
