Chapter 60 Jiahao-level Demigod

"Is he out of touch? His courses are selling like hotcakes online lately."

Lin Chen turned his head and found that Li Zhanyi in the next bed had woken up at some point.

The girl, wearing a loose-fitting hospital gown, stretched comfortably.

"Hmm~ The Azure Factor really works, I feel like I've been reborn~"

"Is this the track that Captain England is on?" Lin Chen looked at the live-streaming course sales room on the screen, somewhat speechless.

At least Qingtian became a movie star, and you've become a live streamer?

Or a livestreaming e-commerce host selling courses...

"Yes, his slogan is 'Make British style great again'."

Li Zhanyi climbed onto Lin Chen's bed and moved closer to his phone.

Lin Chen slightly shrank his neck, calmly pretending that nothing had happened:

"British style? But isn't he Chinese?"

"Yeah, so it's really frustrating," Li Zhanyi shrugged. "But as you know, Super America is really on fire right now. The demigods the Foundation sends to various countries are basically influenced by the local culture in order to localize them, and they're going for the American superhero route. Maybe this Captain Britain is just trying to take a different approach..."

Is there really such a difference...? Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

However, he did understand why Captain England's popularity had always been overshadowed by Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime clearly follows the path of the American tough guy, which aligns with the current mainstream cultural environment and has a very high potential.

Captain Britain, speaking with a London accent and pretending to be British... it's indeed hard to convince people.

People are expecting to see an American tough guy swearing and beating up an abnormal character, but you come in with this fake gentlemanly air... and then spend half an hour rambling on and on with the abnormal character...

Lin Chen watched the "British Captain's Attendance File" playing in the live stream, seeing him bowing and chatting with an abnormal entity before finally defeating it.

He saw that after Captain England rescued the victim, he didn't take him to the hospital, but instead took him to a teahouse and treated him to cups of tea...

"A demigod of the Jiahao level," Lin Chen concluded.

"So, the hasty promotion of Captain England actually shows that the Foundation's internal affairs are being handled more carelessly than before."

Li Zhanyi stretched again, and a faint jasmine fragrance wafted from between the girl's delicate collarbones.

"I'm hungry, let's go get breakfast." Li Zhanyi nudged Lin Chen's shoulder.

"Let's change our clothes and go to the cafeteria." Lin Chen tossed his phone aside.

"Why go to the cafeteria? There's a really good mixed rice noodle place nearby. Let's go, I'll take you there."

"..."

Half an hour later, Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi arrived at a noodle shop two streets away.

Lin Chen sat in the steamy morning air, enjoying a plate of mixed rice noodles and a bowl of squid and pork rib soup.

"It tastes good." He slurped up the noodles.

"This restaurant is a hidden gem," Li Zhanyi said, her mouth full of food. "I sometimes get up early just to come here for a meal."

Michelin three-star certification.

"Speaking of which, did you bring anything out yesterday?" Li Zhanyi looked up, her long eyelashes shimmering in the sunlight.

"Two pieces of azure crystal, Professor Jürgen said they could fetch tens of thousands if converted to cash." Lin Chen took a sip of soup.

"Heh heh, no wonder you were so generous in giving me that injection," Li Zhanyi chuckled. "You made quite a bit of money."

"Thinking about it carefully, it's not that much. A gamma-level entity only lost this much," Lin Chen calculated yesterday's consumption. "The four of us fired so many bullets, and we also have to take into account medical losses. I also got an injection of the Azure Factor yesterday, so we didn't actually gain much."

"In terms of total losses, it's actually a net loss. I even fired a 'Whale Roar' yesterday," Li Zhanyi said in a muffled voice.

"Oh right, I only saw a whale-sounding grenade for the first time yesterday," Lin Chen recalled. "Are these things expensive?"

"The price on the black market is 25000 yuan per shot," Li Zhanyi said, spreading his hands.

Lin Chen was petrified.

How much...how much...?

Seeing his terrified expression, Li Zhanyi chuckled:

"You saw the damage it caused, right? It pierced through Captain England in one shot. The bullet's warhead is made of highly concentrated blue energy. When it hits a target with blue energy inside their body, it will detonate all of that blue energy. It's great value for money."

"But one shot costs 25,000..." Lin Chen rubbed his temples.

If this bullet is fired, Lin Chen will go bankrupt.

"I was just kidding. I bought it through the Investigation Bureau, and they reimbursed half of it, so it was actually only 12,000."

"That's still quite a lot."

Lin Chen suddenly felt that the injection of the Azure Factor he gave Li Zhanyi could at most be considered as sharing the loss, not as giving.

"Don't worry, don't worry. If the bullets successfully severely damage or destroy the target, the bureau will reimburse the entire cost after approval," Li Zhanyi waved his hand.

"Will they reimburse me?" Lin Chen still felt his heart bleeding, even though the money wasn't his.

"Probably... Although Captain England isn't an abnormal entity... Let's see if we can out-talk the three of them..." Li Zhanyi looked away.

"Let the section chief put in a good word for me." Lin Chen was still shaken by the thought of a bullet that cost 20,000 yuan.

"Old Jiang will help... Oh right, speaking of which, keep one of those two azure crystals you got yesterday. Pay some processing fees and have the Third Department grind it into a 'Whale's Roar Bullet' for you. This thing is quite useful against targets with gamma-level or higher attack power. As long as you find the weak point, you can kill it with one shot, or at least severely damage it."

"it is good."

Just then, Lin Chen's phone rang.

He picked up his phone, glanced at the message, and said:

"Shen Xuanyi is looking for us. She heard that we came out of the archives."

"Let her go to the bureau to make the arrangements," Li Zhanyi said, finishing off the remaining rice noodles.

"She said she's only met us, so she only trusts us and wants to meet with us," Lin Chen read the message.

"Then tell Lao Jiang that we'll take over," Li Zhanyi put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said, "Let's go back and get a copy of the Iron Horn Bridge data. Have her come and wait for us at the Investigation Bureau."

"uh-huh."

Lin Chen got up, paid for the meal, and also packed a serving of mixed noodles and soup. He then returned to the Investigation Bureau with Li Zhanyi.

They first went to find Section Chief Jiang, who had stayed up all night. The energetic middle-aged man was working overtime at his workstation. When he smelled the food, he raised his head like a hungry wolf and gave Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi a satisfied smile.

"Go ahead, give her the things, let her handle it herself," Section Chief Jiang said, slurping his noodles. "I'm going to catch up on some sleep later, then I'll come over for a meeting this afternoon. We have new developments."

"So fast?" Lin Chen was somewhat surprised.

He thought that after this mission, it would be the same as before, and he would have to wait a few days before discussing it.

"We've found a breakthrough," Jiang Zhengge smiled. "The foundation's public relations disaster is probably just around the corner."
