CH 26

Feng Yi had no idea that some fans had saved a photo of the snake spirit character in the only drama he had acted in. He didn’t have much popularity on the Internet anymore, so he thought it was long forgotten.

Oh, that wasn’t entirely true. He was still somewhat popular on the Internet, and globally at that.

Except…

The one with the popularity was “Snake Brother” of the Mount Yue Little Green Dragon incident, it had nothing to do with him, Feng Yi! He didn’t plan to enter the entertainment circle, and he didn’t rely on popularity to make a living, nor did he take the initiative to do any activities on the Internet at all.

After unlocking the ability of olfactory hypersensitivity, Feng Yi began a daily task of olfactory exploration in order to master it and learn how to use it. The olfactory organ must be controlled so that it doesn’t catch and analyze all kinds of scent molecules and interfere with the brain’s thinking.

However, this ability gave Feng Yi the feeling of opening the door to a new world, and this was only the beginning of evolution. The world would show him more unknown aspects in the future.

It was quite interesting.

Of course, in addition to being familiar with the use of the sense of smell, Feng Yi had also not forgotten about his previous plan.

When the swelling on his face completely subsided and his nose showed no abnormal symptoms, Feng Yi started the plan to strengthen his own anti-venom ability. Sometimes he would bite his thumb, sometimes his arm. Every day, he would poison himself.

“I wonder if this will speed up the evolution.”

Uncle Mute’s tea no longer had any effect, and even the refreshing feeling was greatly diminished, so he just drank it for the taste. Feng Yi didn’t ask for any more tea from Uncle Mute. As the man had said, it was a waste for him to drink the tea.

Whether evolution had accelerated, Feng Yi did not know, but there was no need to spray mosquito repellent when going out. The mosquitoes wouldn’t suck his blood even if they starved to death. Before, when he came back from Mount Xiaofeng, the mosquitoes were not very active at that time, and they avoided him, but after the weather warmed up, the mosquitoes seemed to have become bolder, and they were very ferocious. Now it was different, not a single mosquito within three steps!

On this day, after Feng Yi went out to explore the “different world”, he stopped by Wu Ji’s shop on his way back to the community. As he hadn’t shown up for a while, Wu Ji was quite surprised to see him.

After looking Feng Yi over, Wu Ji asked, “Have you gained weight? There seems to be a little more flesh on your face.”

Feng Yi touched the poisonous glands on the side of his face. “…Ah, yes, I have been eating a lot lately.”

After the swelling on his face subsided, the location of the venom glands had become much tighter. It wasn’t obvious at first glance, except to acquaintances.

Wu Ji was quite happy about it. “You used to say that you wanted to break into the entertainment circle and act. In order not to look fat on camera, you only ate a small amount of food every day and had to exercise. For us ordinary people, you are too thin. Now it’s good, live life happily and as you like, and eat whatever you want.”

“I do eat a little more now.” Feng Yi nodded.

“You look much healthier now! Your whole mental state seems different! This week, I’m meeting with Qian Feiyang, let’s find a time to eat hotpot! There is a new self-service hotpot place with good reviews, let’s try it,” Wu Ji said. “Oh, by the way, I have hired a pastry chef in my shop. I tasted the tea cakes made today, and they’re fine. Let me get you a box.”

Thus, when Feng Yi went home, he had a box of freshly baked tea cakes in his hands. Although he had already had dinner outside, this box of tea cakes was too fragrant, so he could eat them for supper. The more he thought about it, the hungrier he became, so Feng Yi quickened his pace and walked home. As he approached his own building, two people suddenly rushed out and stopped him.

“Just now, I thought your side profile looked familiar! Sure enough, I wasn’t wrong!” one of the men said.

Feng Yi looked at the two people in front of him, one of whom he knew as Hu Yi from Building 5, apartment 2102. The man had asked him to help catch a rat before. The person next to Hu Yi looked like him and was probably his brother.

“What’s wrong?” Feng Yi asked.

“Well, I really need your help…”

“I’m not from the rodent control company, I don’t catch rats,” Feng Yi interrupted the other party. “I told you that last time.”

“It’s just… we’re out of options…” Hu Yi gave a slight cough and rubbed his hands in embarrassment. “I can only be impertinent and come to you, why don’t we find a place to sit and talk?”

“No need, if you have something to say, say it now. I’ll still say the same thing, don’t ask me about rat extermination.” Feng Yi resolutely refused.

Hu Yi looked at his brother, who gave him a distressed look.

Hu Yi sighed softly. “We really can’t find any other way; this rat is too hard to catch…”

“You should go to the rodent control company, they are professionals. Now you don’t have to wait in line, you can contact them online anytime.” Feng Yi bypassed the other party, intending to leave.

Hu Yi and his brother rushed to catch up.

“I’ve already tried, but it didn’t work. I’ve hired two rodent control companies, and they can’t solve the problem! The boss is angry and anxious now, and Hu Yi said that only you can solve this matter!” Hu Yi’s brother said in a low voice.

Feng Yi laughed when he heard this. “Me? Who gave you that confidence? There are so many rodent extermination companies now, if two can’t do it, just keep looking. There are a lot of experts! During the rat plague, there were real-time live broadcasts by those companies, and the edited videos were very popular. If even those people can’t solve it, what can I do? Do you think I can be better than them?”

When Feng Yi took a step, the two of them followed.

“We’re… desperate! The rodent control companies with top capabilities have a waitlist of at least three days, but we can’t wait! Really, the goods in the warehouse will be inspected tomorrow afternoon, but the rat in the warehouse… will affect the company’s reputation!”

“Yes, yes, time is running out. If we had the time, we would just block the warehouse and let it starve to death inside,” Hu Yi added.

Hu Yi’s brother was worried that Feng Yi would misunderstand, and explained, “Actually, our company’s warehouse is usually managed very strictly. It was just when we were loading goods this morning that the rat snuck in. Today, we had people guarding the warehouse all day, so it didn’t have a chance to touch the goods. We’ve also tried to get rid of it, but we haven’t solved the problem yet.”

“Even if you can’t catch it, we won’t blame you! Just one, the price is negotiable! Please!” As Hu Yi spoke, he clasped his hands together and bowed. Seeing this, his brother quickly followed suit.

Feng Yi was beginning to get a bit annoyed.

A matter that couldn’t even be handled by hiring two rodent extermination companies must be very complicated, not as simple as what the men were saying. Feng Yi was only one person, and his abilities were limited.

Feng Yi understood the situation damn well. If a team couldn’t handle it, how could I? Because of my good looks? If you were really in a hurry, just raise the price and go to those top rodent control companies. Would they all refuse? Businessmen should talk to businessmen, why do you want me? Just because I’m easier to talk to?

Moreover–

I’ve worked so hard to evolve, I didn’t suffer so much to catch mice!!!

Feng Yi looked at the two brothers before him and decided to let them see what an exorbitant price was! Let them have a taste of daylight robbery!

“A thousand five hundred for one! It’s non-negotiable!”

“Deal!” The two said in unison.

Feng Yi: ???
