Chapter 706 Deng Yuanbo’s gift
Deng Yuanbo looked at Zhang Yi and the others with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'm very happy that you guys can come here."
"Come on, come on, everyone, sit down! Don't be restrained."
"Zhang Yi, you and my nephew Deng Shentong are acquaintances. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Deng."
Zhang Yi was a little surprised.
Deng Yuanbo started to get closer as soon as he came up. It seemed that he was going to win over Zhang Yi just as Yang Xinxin said.
Zhang Yi smiled and nodded, reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person. Deng Yuanbo's age was at stake here, so calling him uncle wouldn't be a disadvantage.
"Uncle Deng."
Hearing Zhang Yi's shout, the smile on Deng Yuanbo's face became even stronger.
"Okay, if you call me Uncle Deng today, I won't let you call me in vain."
He winked to the side.
Soon, a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam walked up to Zhang Yi holding a plate.
A silver box sat on top of the plate.
"Just treat this as a greeting gift. I hope you won't dislike it."
Deng Yuanbo said with a smile.
"Oh, as for these two little girls, there will be gifts for them later."
Deng Yuanbo's attitude was directly displayed, and he almost unabashedly tried to win over Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi remained vigilant.
Showing courtesy for nothing, committing adultery or stealing - well, this sounds a bit like a curse.
Let’s change it to not going to the Three Treasures Hall no matter what!
But he was still curious, what exactly was this greeting gift?
After all, he doesn't feel like he's missing anything now.
So he asked: "Uncle Deng, what is this?"
Deng Yuanbo saw the disapproval in Zhang Yi's eyes.
However, his expression was a bit playful.
"Poor child, you have been suffering outside for more than half a year and haven't had a good life. What's inside," he pointed at the silver box, "can save you half a year of time. Improve your strength!”
The expression on Zhang Yi's face suddenly froze.
Liang Yue and Yang Xinxin also looked solemn.
"It... can improve my strength?"
Zhang Yi looked at Deng Yuanbo in disbelief.
"But……"
Deng Yuanbo smiled and said: "But you think that if a stranger wants to improve his strength, he can only devour the origin of others, right?"
Zhang Yi smiled and nodded: "That's right."
Deng Yuanbo smiled proudly.
"This is true in theory. But this method is no different from eating by wild beasts."
"The biggest difference between us humans and beasts is that we know how to use tools."
"This thing is called X compound. Only our Deng family can produce it. After using it, the strength of aliens can be quickly improved."
Zhang Yi nodded thoughtfully.
"I understand. This is why Blizzard City's population is not too large, but it has a large number of elite aliens, right?"
Deng Yuanbo couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes! The world is so big and there are countless people with talents. How can they all gather in Blizzard City?"
"It's just because once the potential of the aliens here is discovered, they will get the best resources to cultivate them, which makes them very powerful!"
"Perhaps there have been strangers around you who were not weaker than the investigation captain level. However, they died in various crises before they had time to awaken their powers."
Zhang Yi nodded, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, being born in a good place is really important."
Although he acted relatively calmly, Zhang Yi's mind was still focused on the X compound.
He pinched his chin and said, "Uncle Deng, how much can this thing improve a person's strength?"
Today, Zhang Yi has encountered a bottleneck in his strength.
He had absorbed Eclipse's cutting-edge Delta-class aliens, but his improvement was minimal.
Therefore, he is also very skeptical about the efficacy of this compound.
Deng Yuanbo smiled and said: "Let's put it this way, you know Deng Shentong, right? He can quickly grow to the strength he is today because of this thing."
An expression of astonishment suddenly flashed across Zhang Yi's eyes.
Deng Shentong?
Investigating captain-level strength, is it also obtained through drugs?
But will this drug be the same as the one used by Bian Junwu and have any side effects?
Deng Yuanbo saw that Zhang Yi had some scruples in his heart.
He said: "Actually, the effect of this drug is the same as the [cophagy] ability between you and other people."
"It's just that we used scientific means to extract the [source] of the superpower so that you can better absorb it."
Zhang Yi murmured in his heart, he never trusted others easily.
What's more, it was only the first time that he and Deng Yuanbo met.
"Such a gift is too heavy, Uncle Deng, I dare not accept it!"
Zhang Yi declined with a smile.
Who knows if there are any toxins in this thing? What if he uses it and is controlled by the Deng family?
Deng Yuanbo nodded.
"You are very cautious, and caution is a good thing. If you hadn't been like this, you probably wouldn't have been able to survive until now in the crisis-ridden outer city area and achieve what you have achieved today."
He pointed at the box of X compound and said in a plain but domineering tone:
"I rarely give gifts to people, and no one will refuse the gifts I give. This is just a meeting gift, and I, Uncle Deng Yuan, will not ask others to do anything for this little thing."
Hearing what Deng Yuanbo said, it would be impolite for Zhang Yi to refuse again.
He nodded: "Then I would like to thank Uncle Deng for his kindness!"
Zhang Yi took the silver box and put it into his own alien space.
Deng Yuanbo nodded in satisfaction.
"Well, you must be hungry after coming from afar. Let's eat!"
Liancheng clapped his hands, and suddenly more than a dozen maids came over, carrying golden dinner plates in their hands, and soon the whole table was filled.
The food is very rich, and Deng Yuan has their own chef and reserved ingredients.
Therefore, the meals on the table look particularly appetizing.
Zhang Yi was not polite, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
But after taking a few bites, he discovered that the ingredients were not fresh.
But you can understand it if you think about it carefully.
No matter how powerful the Deng family is, they will not be able to enjoy a large amount of luxurious fresh food in the last days.
In this regard, Zhang Yike is much better than them.
During the meal, Deng Yuanbo didn't talk about other things. He didn't talk during eating or sleeping. He was a person who had strict requirements on the quality of life.
It wasn't until the meal was finished and the servants had cleared away the dishes that Deng Yuanbo called Zhang Yi to the study next to him.
Yang Xinxin and Liang Yue were invited to the lounge next door by Liancheng.
Zhang Yi came to the study, and after a few polite words from Deng Yuanbo, he got straight to the point.
"Zhang Yi, you don't have any background in Blizzard City. If you want to gain a foothold in Jiangnan Region, you must make certain achievements."
"Zhu Shuai asked you to be the captain of the Tengu team, why did you shirk it?"
