Chapter 12 Dare to charge me property management fees?
"How so? Are there any new changes?"
Zhang Luoyan's eyes held a hint of anticipation. His superpower was light, while Huang Feipeng's was metal. Neither of them knew how to use it yet, and it didn't seem to significantly improve their combat power.
If Wang Ce awakens a superpower more suited to combat, it will greatly ensure their safety when they go out hunting.
"I may disappoint you, but while my physique has indeed been greatly enhanced, I have not awakened any new superpowers."
Wang Ce wasn't lying, because he already possessed the ability to recognize things before absorbing the red crystal core.
He was referring to the fact that he hadn't awakened any new superpowers; he indeed hadn't gained a second superpower.
It wasn't that he didn't want to talk about it, but rather that it was simply too embarrassing to bring up. Even if he were willing to, no one would believe him.
Originally, his recognition ability could only trigger the golden words when he was within one meter of the object being recognized.
Now, his detection speed has increased twentyfold, and he can identify anything within a 20-meter radius, regardless of any obstructions.
Logically speaking, improving one's abilities is a good thing.
Looking at the densely packed entries for "meat sausage" from upstairs to downstairs, I always have a feeling that's hard to put into words.
What kind of superpower is this? It's a disaster!
"It's okay. Even without superpowers, you're not necessarily worse off than others. Human effort can overcome anything!"
"I firmly believe that there are no useless abilities, only useless people."
Zhang Luoyan did not look down on Wang Ce just because he did not have any special abilities; the strong never complain about their circumstances.
With Wang Ce's intelligence, he won't do badly in the future.
"Brother Ce, come on, let's arm wrestle and I'll show you my terrifying strength!"
Huang Feipeng laughed and joked. He was already strong, and now he was even stronger.
The two have known each other since high school and later attended the same junior college. Wang Ce doesn't consider himself superior just because he doesn't have any special abilities.
"Come on, give it a try."
Wang Ce could tell that both of them were trying to comfort him, but he wasn't discouraged. It wasn't that he didn't have superpowers, but rather that he didn't know how to use them yet.
Moreover, his level of development in superpowers is definitely higher than that of Zhang Luoyan and Huang Feipeng.
At least he had begun to recognize them, but the two of them did not change much.
"Fatty, put some effort into it! Why aren't you using it?"
Wang Ce frowned slightly. Was Huang Feipeng really going to let him off the hook like this?
"Damn, Brother Ce, I really used my strength!"
Huang Feipeng was slightly taken aback, then gritted his teeth, and the veins on his temples bulged.
It was clear that Huang Feipeng was trembling, obviously having used a lot of strength.
"Bang!"
With a single effort, Wang Ce knocked Huang Feipeng down, leaving all three of them momentarily stunned.
"Brother Ce, your superpower is probably strength. I feel that there is a huge gap between my strength and yours, and I am no match for you at all."
After Huang Feipeng stood up, he shook his arms and looked at Wang Ce as if he were looking at a monster.
Both of them thought that Wang Ce had a special ability that enhanced his physique, but only Wang Ce himself knew that his special ability was that golden phrase that he didn't know how to use.
The only strange thing is that, although both Zhang Luoyan and Huang Feipeng have improved their physiques, they are still far behind him.
"This last crystal core is still for you to use. Our combined abilities aren't very useful right now, and they don't significantly improve our combat power."
"Your special ability is strength, and giving it to you will allow you to unleash its full potential."
Wang Ce took the red crystal core from Zhang Luoyan's hand and, without any hesitation, immediately chose to absorb it.
After a few days of getting used to it, some of the more adventurous folks in the park have probably ventured out into the primeval forest.
Even in some unknown corners, driven by hunger, unspeakable things are happening.
Humans can unleash tremendous potential under extreme conditions, and he wouldn't be surprised if someone evolved earlier than him.
Half an hour later, Wang Ce looked at his empty left hand with surprise in his eyes.
"It was completely absorbed in half an hour. It seems that the absorption speed is related to our basic physical condition."
"Moreover, the increase in the second one was significantly lower than that of the first one."
"At this pace, it may take 20 to 50 more to potentially move on to the next stage."
This wasn't something Wang Ce fabricated out of thin air; rather, it was a comprehensive enhancement of his body, not just limited to physical strength.
Therefore, my control over myself is more precise than before.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Manager Zhang, the property management staff are here to collect management fees!"
A worker ran upstairs, panting, and his first words made the three of them doubt their ears.
Huang Feipeng exclaimed incredulously, "Do you even know what you're saying? We've already time-traveled, and now he's here collecting property management fees?"
Wang Ce got up and walked to the screen to watch the surveillance footage. He saw that eighty people had gathered at the entrance of the park.
"The property management only had about ten people, but their scale expanded to eighty people in just three days, which at least proves that they controlled the food."
Zhang Luoyan nodded slightly and said, "That's right, without food, the scale cannot grow positively."
"Perhaps they control the food in the canteen, otherwise they wouldn't dare to openly come to the factory to demand management fees. Let's go out and see what's going on first."
The group quickly went downstairs, and on the second floor, they heard the somewhat arrogant voice of the property management staff.
He recognized that voice all too well. He didn't know what those bastards were all about, always causing trouble.
Especially this property manager, Zhou Jiakun, who acts all high and mighty, just like a student council member in college who acts like he owns the place.
"What are you all shouting about at the door?"
Upon hearing Huang Feipeng's words, Master Xu quickly turned around and looked at Manager Zhang.
There was a handprint on his face; the fact that it left a mark showed that the blow was quite forceful.
"Manager Zhang, after Zhou Jiakun from this property management company came over, he immediately asked us for 500 aluminum pipes and 500 Tang swords."
"I didn't refuse, and just sent someone to call you. As a result, Zhou Jiakun immediately tried to rush in."
"I fired arrows as a warning to stop them outside the factory. Then Zhou Jiakun pretended to talk to me, tricked me into going out, grabbed me, and beat me up."
"His strength is ridiculously high. If the workers hadn't shot arrows to save me, I would still be outside getting beaten up."
Master Xu is an elderly man, and he is usually very considerate in his dealings with others, so the probability of him doing something that offends anyone is extremely low.
Considering Zhou Jiakun's behavior before her time travel, Wang Ce had already figured out the whole story.
"Fatty, you go."
The wicked will be punished by the wicked. Zhang Luoyan's actions were too ruthless and inappropriate. Huang Feipeng, who had a track record of beating those two shrewish old women, was just right.
This Zhou Jiakun is probably also an evolved being; it would be good to send Huang Feipeng up to investigate.
"What's going on? Who gave you the courage to come and attack our factory workers?"
Huang Feipeng carried an aluminum pipe and walked outside. He felt the aluminum pipe was a bit light and planned to replace it with a steel pipe later.
"You're factories in the industrial park; isn't it your duty to pay the property management fees on time?"
"Before we transmigrated, we paid money. Now that money is useless, we'll use the weapons and equipment produced by your factory to offset the cost!"
"Moreover, I heard that on the first night of your factory's journey, you looted a lot of supplies from the supermarket. The supermarket is owned by the boss of our industrial park, so it is naturally under our property management."
"Bring out all the food now and let us distribute it. I can forgive and forget about it."
Wang Ce and Zhang Luoyan exchanged a glance and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
Zhou Jiakun is really outspoken; I wonder where he got the courage.
Huang Feipeng shook his head, looking at Zhou Jiakun as if he were an idiot, and said:
"You just hit one of our factory's employees. Now let me slap you twice, and I'll forgive you."
Zhou Jiakun is rather thin, but he is not intimidated at all when facing the burly and robust Huang Feipeng.
"Don't think you're so great just because you ran over two giant wolves with your car. I've been out in the primeval forest!"
"I ate a fruit, and now my body has evolved. Beating you is like child's play."
"Moreover, I basically control all the supplies in the cafeteria. If you don't want to go hungry, you'd better cooperate obediently."
"I advise you—oh my god! You actually dared to lay a hand on me? You've gone too far!"
Huang Feipeng slapped Zhou Jiakun six times with both hands, swelling Zhou Jiakun's face.
Zhou Jiakun isn't bad; he's just plain stupid.
Zhang Luoyan moved closer to Wang Ce and whispered in his ear:
"The fact that the property management company knew we killed the giant wolf and still dared to come and provoke us shows that they didn't know the giant wolf had a crystal core, or that they simply didn't know the function of the crystal core."
Wang Ce's eyes lit up immediately, and he instantly understood Zhang Luoyan's unspoken message.
"You mean we can exploit the information gap to get people in the park to help us obtain substances like crystal nuclei?"
"Or we could trade them for food or weapons, making a fortune before they discover the value of these substances?"
Seeing Zhang Luoyan nod with slight approval, Wang Ce finally understood why rich people are rich.
That's what capitalists are like; even if they time-traveled, they can still find business opportunities.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! I don't want the weapons and equipment, okay?"
Zhou Jiakun was genuinely scared. He had originally thought that only the large factory with 600 employees in the south of the park had evolved beings.
I never expected Shenghong to have this too; this is really like kicking a hornet's nest.
"You just said you've already been outside, and you have the ability to survive there?"
Wang Ce came out. Now that the property management had control of the cafeteria's food, given the kid's personality, there was no reason for him to go out and take risks.
"Hey handsome, don't take it personally. I haven't done anything heinous. In the northern industrial park, I've distributed food to at least eight factories."
"If it weren't for me, these factories wouldn't have been able to hold on yesterday."
"Here, have a cigarette."
Wang Ce waved his hand and said, "I don't smoke. Tell me in detail what the situation is like in the park now. I won't make things difficult for you. In fact, once we've established ourselves, we'll even give you a high-ranking position."
Although Jiakun was boastful this week, he wasn't a bad person at heart. Under these circumstances, he was still able to distribute food to eight factories, something most people wouldn't do.
"The Fuhuakang Electronics Processing Plant in the south is a large factory with more than 600 employees. It has integrated several surrounding factories."
"Yesterday they went out from the south gate of the park and organized a group to explore the primeval forest. They said they had a great haul."
"They've carved out a hunting and gathering route to the south, leading directly to the river there. We have several factories to the north, and they're all heading that way today!"
So fast!
Indeed, gold shines wherever it is.
Wang Ce thought that the three of them becoming evolved beings was already a step ahead of others, but he did not expect that a hunting and gathering passage had been opened up in the south yesterday.
Wang Ce immediately had an idea and asked, "Zhou Jiakun, would you like some meat sausage?"
