Wow, realized I was naming the chapters one chapter ahead for the past two chapters. I’ve gone back and fixed them (⁄ ⁄^⁄ᗨ⁄^⁄ ⁄)
Pandora’s Box [8]
The person who released the videos had an ulterior motive.
The ability users in the videos were particularly powerful. What flying in the sky ah, what telekinesis ah? Chen Liguo even saw someone intentionally use their chest to break a big stone.
This video was simple designed to promote ability users.
The authorities wanted to delete these videos immediately but the base was ready to fight a protracted war with them and when the site was removed they spread it around privately.
This video soon showed results. Just a few days later someone came to Bai Yanlou saying that they wanted to join their organization.
Chen Liguo didn’t know the contents of the deal between Bai Yanlou and the man. In any case everyone went home in a good mood and they even added chicken wings to Chen Liguo’s meal box.
Ever since Chen Liguo ate Bai Yanlou’s meal box he fell in love with this meal box that weight twice as much as his. Every day he would go find Bai Yanlou when it was time to eat.
Bai Yanlou did not tell him off and usually just watched him eat then finished off the rest.
Chen Liguo once again ate more than half the lunch box today. He held his stomach and lay on the couch, paralyzed.
Bai Yanlou glanced at him and suddenly asked, “How is the drug going?”
Chen Liguo exasperatingly said, “How is what?”
Bai Yanlou said, “Don’t tell me that there hasn’t been any progress.”
Chen Liguo thought and then said, “There is progress, not quick.”
Bai Yanlou showed a smile that was not a smile and said, “Are you not afraid that I will lose my patience with the research being this slow?”
Chen Liguo’s attitude was somewhat indifferent. He said, “It’s useless to lose patience——Who told you to not bring out my research team?”
There was some truth in this. Bai Yanlou was somewhat thoughtful.
The daughter of fate had been out of sorts in the base for the past few days. From Chen Liguo’s observation he concluded that it was because she had gotten in contact with the man who had betrayed her in the original world.
If they followed the original world’s trajectory then Wang Yangzi might go back to find that scum then get betrayed and fall to her death because of him.
Chen Liguo naturally couldn’t let that happen, so he thought of a method. He told Bai Yanlou that he needed the aid of lightning in his research and asked him if he could call a lightning ability user over to help.
As soon as Bai Yanlou heard this he said I’ll come ah, I have lightning abilities.
Chen Liguo was a little speechless. He asked, “Just how many abilities do you have?”
Bai Yanlou grinned at him and said, “That’ll depend on how many kinds of abilities there are.”
Bai Yanlou showing off his power made Chen Liguo think of Chen Xi who could devour other people’s abilities in the apocalypse……
Bai Yanlou who originally wanted to help was finally replaced by Wang Yangzi under Chen Liguo’s insistence. The girl’s attitude was not as good as Bai Yanlou’s and she looked at Chen Liguo as if she were looking at the enemy of society. She wished she could directly use her power and strike Chen Liguo until he turned into charcoal.
Chen Liguo did not care. So long as Wang Yangzi came here to report to him every day he could set his mind at ease.
However, Chen Liguo evidently took this matter too lightly and one day, Wang Yangzi stood him up. Chen Liguo stared at his watch and even when it was almost 12 o’clock he didn’t see her shadow.
Chen Liguo searched around the base and asked the others but they all said that they hadn’t seen her. Thus he quickly went to find Bai Yanlou, saying that Wang Yangzi was missing.
Bai Yanlou’s brows furrowed when he heard this and he closed his eyes as he began to search for Wang Yangzi using his ability.
A moment later Bai Yanlou opened his eyes, a burning anger in them. He did not say anything to Chen Liguo and directly went out.
Chen Liguo later learned that Wang Yangzi had been seriously injured when Bai Yanlou found her. If Bai Yanlou hadn’t promptly brought people over then the girl would have been finished right then and there.
In short, although Chen Liguo’s meddling was timely, Wang Yangzi was still on the verge of death when she returned.
Captured along with her was the slag man. He begged for forgiveness from the moment he entered the base but no one paid any attention to him.
Chen Liguo cast him a lot of glances.
Bai Yanlou asked, “What, you took fancy to him?” His tone was a little displeased. He seemed unhappy that Chen Liguo was paying attention to such a person.
Chen Liguo asked, “This person…… can you give them to me?”
Bai Yanlou’s hand that held a cigarette paused for a moment and his eyes asked him what he wanted to do.
Chen Liguo pushed up his glasses and slowly said, “To do experiments ah……”
Bai Yanlou felt a little speechless. He leaned over and bit the tip of Chen Liguo’s nose, leaving behind a small tooth print. He said, “Take it.”
Chen Liguo was baffled from the bite. The surrounding people all had expressions of ‘we don’t even want to see this greasy dog food’.
Thus the slag man belonged to Chen Liguo who then began to happily experiment on him.
Bai Yanlou’s organization finally gained a name. It was called, “White Salt.”
Chen Liguo felt that this name really reflected Bai Yanlou’s shamelessness. What White Salt? Just directly call it White Smoke. Moreover, this name would always be associated with the homonyms salty and such. It sounded like this organization was very bored.
White Salt, everything spotless. Chen Liguo watched on as Bai Yanlou started making great contributions to the promotion of the organization——And staged something big on live broadcast.
Bai Yanlou was chased to the thirtieth floor by the police. Then he stepped into the wind and disappeared into a white cloud. Before leaving he showed the camera a splendid smile.
It had to be said that if Chen Liguo didn’t know Bai Yanlou’s character then this smile really was deceptive. It made everyone think that he really was as perfect as his face.
In any case, that smile spooked Chen Liguo into dropping the chips in his hand.

Chen Liguo was shocked by this unscientific world and felt that if this was his original world, then their base would have been bombed long ago.
Over there Bai Yanlou used his beauty to seduce others and on this side Wang Yangzi’s injuries were getting much better.
As her injuries gradually improved Wang Yangzi’s attitude towards Chen Liguo began to change. At the very least she did not call Chen Liguo ‘damned pervert’ anymore but ‘He Chenyou’ instead.
Wang Yangzi asked, “He Chenyou, what’cha doin’?”
This amiable northeastern dialect made the test tube in Chen Liguo’s hand tremble. He raised his brow. “How did you get in?”
Wang Yangzi said, “I told them that I came to help you with your experiments and they let me in.”
Chen Liguo: “……”
Wang Yangzi said, “Okay la, don’t look at me like that. I’ve sterilized myself and changed my clothes!”
Chen Liguo said, “Even so you can’t just waltz in.” Every time you come in I get a scare, are you not afraid that my hand will shake and blow up the whole lab?
Wang Yangzi seemed a bit bored, so she squatted nearby and watched Chen Liguo experiment.
Chen Liguo let her be and continued his work.
“Can you develop even better medicine?” Wang Yangzi asked. “Boss Bai has been very anxious recently……”
Chen Liguo coldly said, “If you speak a little less I can research more.”
Wang Yangzi shut her mouth. If He Chenyou hadn’t gone to find Bai Yanlou when she didn’t show up at that time then no one would have noticed her disappearance and as a result no one would have come to save her and her life would have ended there. Thus, although Wang Yangzi didn’t want to admit it, He Chenyou had saved her life.
In any case Wang Yangzi felt that He Chenyou was a pretty okay person. Especially when he was electrocuting that trash boyfriend of hers.
Deep inside Wang Yangzi really wanted to tell Chen Liguo: You look very handsome when you electrocute people.
Who knew what kind of expression Chen Liguo would show if he knew what Wang Yangzi was thinking about him in her mind.
Because of the publicity there were a lot more cute men and women around Bai Yanlou——Reportedly they came to take a look at the base.
Chen Liguo looked at these men and women and deeply wondered if they were government spies.
Bai Yanlou however smiled and said, “Spies, that there are, but there are still cute children in their adolescence.”
Chen Liguo asked, “Then how do you tell them apart?”
Bai Yanlou propped up his chin and lazily said, “The people sent by the government are particularly ugly……”
Chen Liguo: “……”
Bai Yanlou repeated, “En, particularly ugly.”
Chen Liguo thought that if being a beauty lover was a disease, then Bai Yanlou was someone already in the late stages and could not be treated anymore.
One day Chen Liguo just happened to finish eating Bai Yanlou’s meal box of love and was prepared to leave when he saw Bai Yanlou and a cute girl come back.
Bai Yanlou saw Chen Liguo and leaned over and kissed him, not considering Chen Liguo’s mouth to be too dirty.
The girl saw the two kissing and revealed an aghast expression.
Bai Yanlou did not pay attention to her and asked Chen Liguo, “Are you full?”
Chen Liguo nodded.
Bai Yanlou rubbed his head and said, “Good, go on.”
Chen Liguo sounded an ‘en’ and turned to leave.
Bai Yanlou and the girl entered the room together. The girl saw Bai Yanlou pick up Chen Liguo’s half eaten leftovers, intending to finish it and she asked in terror, “Are you and him lovers?”
Bai Yanlou thought about it and said, “Unrequited love?”
The girl asked, “He has a one-sided love towards you?”
Bai Yanlou said, “Obviously it’s me who has a one-sided love towards him.” His tone when saying this was very frank, making the girl not know what she should say.
“Mister Bai, you’re joking right?” The girl mumbled. “With your qualifications how could you have a unrequited love for someone else?”
Bai Yanlou heedlessly laughed and said, “Is this not having unrequited love?”
A few days later Chen Liguo learned that the girl Bai Yanlou brought back was the only daughter of a rich man. She became crazily obsessed with Bai Yanlou after watching the video and desperately wanted to come and see the base——The amount of children like her were a lot but not everyone had the opportunity to get close to Bai Yanlou.
Chen Liguo thought that if Bai Yanlou were to start a business then he would definitely be a big god-level marketer.
In the past few days that the girl came over Wang Yangzi would always prattle to Chen Liguo, saying that Boss Bai probably wouldn’t be that unfaithful right? She also told him that he should watch Bai Yanlou a little closer.
Chen Liguo didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry when he heard this. He said, “It’s not as though we are dating, why should I watch him a little closer?”
Wang Yangzi opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say. He Chenyou made a lot of sense.
In truth, Chen Liguo was very bored during this time. Bored along with him was the system.
Chen Liguo said, “Tong-er, tell me a joke for me to listen to……” It was always the system controlling his body when doing experiments, so he was extremely bored.
The system thought and then said, “Once upon a time there was a little fish and he told the big fish: Big……. fish…… big…… fish, what…… do…… you…… like….. to….. eat?”
Chen Liguo continued to listen.
The system said, “The big fish said: I like to eat little fish that speak very slowly.”
Chen Liguo blinked.
The system said, “The little fish said: Oh, so that’s how it is ah, I understand.”
Chen Liguo: “Hahahahaha, so funny ah, hahahaha.”
System: “……” Is it really that funny?
Chen Liguo’s tears even fell. He said, “Another!”
The system asked, “Are you sure you’ll be able to continue experimenting with one more?”
Chen Liguo, this person, really was laughing to the point his body trembled.
Chen Liguo said, “It’s fine, it’s fine, I’ll work hard to not laugh.”
The system thought about it and just as it prepared to say the next one it saw Bai Yanlou come in through the door.
Chen Liguo hurriedly stifled his smile and pretended to experiment seriously.
Who knew that Bai Yanlou who was wearing protective clothes would look at Chen Liguo for a little while then suddenly reach out and pull him out of the lab.
After arriving outside the first thing Bai Yanlou asked Chen Liguo was, “You’re crying?”
Chen Liguo: “……” Ah?
Bai Yanlou reached out and removed Chen Liguo’s protective clothing. He wiped his finger against the corner of Chen Liguo’s eye and felt a bit of water vapor on his finger. He asked, “Why are you crying?” As soon as he entered he saw Chen Liguo’s body trembling slightly and when he walked over he found that Chen Liguo’s eyes were actually a little red.
Chen Liguo stared at Bai Yanlou and asked the system, “What should I do?”
The system said, “Who told you to laugh like that.”
Wronged, Chen Liguo said, “Clearly it’s very funny ah.”
The system ignored Chen Liguo and thought, ‘I’ve told this joke to others but never has anyone reacted like this. It’s only you with such an inferior intelligence who would laugh so happily.’
Bai Yanlou saw that Chen Liguo was keeping his mouth shut, not saying anything, and said, “Speak.”
Chen Liguo said, “I didn’t cry.”
Bai Yanlou countered, “What, could it be you were laughing?”
When Chen Liguo heard this he immediately said, “Yes, I was laughing.”
Bai Yanlou furrowed his brows and asked, “What was so funny?”
Chen Liguo had no option and could only tell the joke that the system told him to Bai Yanlou. After saying it he laughed again and even asked Bai Yanlou if he found it funny.
Bai Yanlou silently looked at Chen Liguo and slowly said, “Stop laughing.”
Chen Liguo: “……” Ah?
Bai Yanlou said, “Not funny.”
Chen Liguo said to the system, “Oof.”
The system coldly said, “Look.”
Chen Liguo grievously told the system, “It really is funny ah! It’s just that he doesn’t get the joke!”
The system said, “No, it’s just your sense of humor that is too strange.”
Bai Yanlou suddenly reached out and hugged Chen Liguo. He said, “Don’t laugh if you don’t want to laugh. Who bullied you? Tell me.”
Chen Liguo was dumbfounded.
Bai Yanlou said, “I know you’re not happy here. After you develop the drug, I’ll let you go.”
Chen Liguo heard this and his heart trembled. He thought, ‘Big brother, if you say this I will not want to develop the drug even more ah!’ Chen Liguo revealed a ‘there is nothing left to live for’ expression.
Bai Yanlou lowered his head and kissed his eyelashes.
The atmosphere should have been very warm but their brain waves were fundamentally on different lengths. Chen Liguo thought that this joke had triggered a murder case. Bai Yanlou thought that in the end he still couldn’t give him what he wanted. However, he didn’t know that what Chen Liguo wanted right now was a big meal box and a fuck buddy just like him.
Hearing Bai Yanlou’s promise Chen Liguo couldn’t laugh anymore.
Chen Liguo: “Seriously, why does the human brain make up so many plots these days?”
The system was indifferent. “Who told you to laugh like that.”
Chen Liguo: “……” It’s my fault?
However, although Bai Yanlou’s expression told him just how much he loved him, Chen Liguo still firmly felt——When it was time for him to die Bai Yanlou still wouldn’t think twice.
Because of this matter Chen Liguo’s treatment in the base became better——This conclusion was reached from a soy egg dug out from Bai Yanlou’s meal box the next day.
Speaking of this Chen Liguo was angry as well. Bai Yanlou didn’t seem to plan on having separate meals. Even if the boxed meal was just one box, its quantity would be increased, but not the number. If he wanted to eat something then it would be added into Bai Yanlou’s.
Chen Liguo: “I feel like I’ve lost my dignity for a meal box.”
The system said, “Then the one giving you the meal is taking a loss.”
Chen Liguo: “……”
The loser just so happened to come in. Seeing Chen Liguo he said, “No meal box today.”
Chen Liguo: “……” I want to spit in your drug.
Bai Yanlou looked at Chen Liguo’s expression and laughed. He said, “We’ll go eat a feast today.”
Chen Liguo warily asked, “Eat what?”
Bai Yanlou said, “Good food.”
Chen Liguo had heard Bai Yanlou say such before but it was in bed and in the next moment he was sucking on a big member.
However, today Bai Yanlou still had a slight conscience. He brought Chen Liguo to a small room and then took out a box of sushi and sashimi.
He said, “Eat, an extra meal.”
Chen Liguo asked, “Why?”
Bai Yanlou asked, “What do you mean why?”
Chen Liguo asked, “Why another meal?”
Hearing this Bai Yanlou was silent for a moment and began to wonder if he had been too harsh on Chen Liguo for him to actually find it so inconceivable and overwhelming that he was giving him another meal.
Bai Yanlou showed a pampering look and said, “Eat, we will have a good life from now on.”
The poor lower-middle class peasant immediately picked up his chopsticks and then cleaned out more than half the box.
Bai Yanlou looked at Chen Liguo as if he were looking at his silly son. His look made Chen Liguo feel a little creeped out.
Chen Liguo asked, “You’re not eating?”
Bai Yanlou said, “I ate.”
Chen Liguo was moved by Bai Yanlou and thought to himself, ‘Bai Yanlou, you really are a qualified owner’——This feeling lasted until he learned that Bai Yanlou was actually going out everyday to eat delicious food and drink hard liquor. After eating he helped bring him back leftovers.
After the food was pretty much finished the two came out of the room and happened to run across Wang Yangzi.
Wang Yangzi asked, “Boss Bai, you’ve come back?”
Bai Yanlou nodded and sounded an ‘en’,
Wang Yangzi asked, “Zeng Yimei isn’t with you?” Zeng Yimei was the cute girl Bai Yanlou brought back. The girl’s father was one of the richest people in the world.
Bai Yanlou said, “No.”
Wang Yangzi profoundly looked at Chen Liguo.
Chen Liguo thought, ‘What are you looking at me for? You think I can stop him if he cheats?!’
Wang Yangzi finished saying this and left. Bai Yanlou turned to look at Chen Liguo and said, “Don’t misunderstand, there’s nothing between Zeng Yimei and I.”
Chen Liguo smiled chillingly and thought to himself, ‘If I find out that there’s something between you two…… I will break, no, bite off your third leg.’
Bai Yanlou’s hair stood on end at Chen Liguo’s smile and said, “Don’t smile like that, I didn’t do anything to wrong you.”
Chen Liguo coldly looked at him.
Bai Yanlou exclaimed, “Really!”
Chen Liguo sneered and said, “What does what you do have to do with me?”
Bai Yanlou: “……”
Chen Liguo said, “We are very familiar?”
Bai Yanlou: “……”
Chen Liguo snorted, “He.”
Bai Yanlou stared at Chen Liguo as if he were an immortal fairy, going off with a swagger. He thought that if Chen Liguo didn’t come over to eat his meal box every day then his performance might have been a bit more authentic……
For the next few days Wang Yangzi would tactfully remind Chen Liguo to watch over Bai Yanlou a bit more, saying that that Zeng Yimei was glued to Bai Yanlou every day and was just short of openly recommending herself as a pillow.
Chen Liguo’s attitude was very cold, saying that he understood.
Wang Yangzi didn’t know how to persuade him upon seeing this and could only sigh faintly.
Chen Liguo was very puzzled by Wang Yangzi’s worry and thought, ‘We are just in a physical relationship, why make it so complicated?’
Who knew if Bai Yanlou would explode if he knew what Chen Liguo thought.
In short, in the eyes of others, Zeng Yimei was a new flame closing in step by step while Chen Liguo was the old love who was about to lose favor.
When Zeng Yimei came to find Chen Liguo to chat…… She was probably thinking so as well.
Chen Liguo looked at the secretly proud little girl before him and felt that his old arms and legs really weren’t enough anymore.
Zeng Yimei asked, “Are you Bai Yanlou’s lover?”
Chen Liguo was silent for three seconds and then slowly said, “No, I am always being raped by him.”
Zeng Yimei: “……”
Chen Liguo said to the system, “Look, she’s still too young. She probably can’t continue, can she?”
System: “……”
Chen Liguo asked, “How would you continue if it were you?”
The system coldly said, “If you can fight back then don’t talk rubbish.”
Chen Liguo felt that the system made a lot of sense. After all, he wasn’t sure if he could beat this girl……
