I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 1052 - 1151: Fulfilling the Promise, Kneel!

Chapter 1052: Chapter 1151: Fulfilling the Promise, Kneel!

What?!

She worked her heart out to catch octopuses, and these two actually went to attend a dinner party?

She gritted her teeth, "Let’s go, I must see what banquet they’re attending."

...

A luxurious building at Sandy Corner, banquet hall.

"Pleasure doing business. Boss Jing."

"Pleasure doing business. Brother Fa." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Jing Shu signed a regional agency contract with Brother Fa here.

Jing Shu didn’t expect that a vacation trip could also lead to some business transactions.

The Director was holding a rare red wine, indulging himself with sips because he couldn’t bear to drink much. He was quite satisfied, not expecting just making connections would earn him Brother Fa’s sponsorship for such an allocation for purifiers—

Meanwhile, Jingshu’s family was also seated around a round table, dining luxuriously in a situation that was unexpected. Even when traveling, someone actually invited them to such a grand feast.

In short, everyone was very satisfied.

While everyone was satisfied, there was one person who wasn’t.

The doors to the banquet suddenly opened.

Xiao Xiao stormed in. She saw someone playing the violin from afar and couldn’t discern the dishes on the table, but the appearance told her it wasn’t cheap.

The Director was smiling gently, Jing Shu was smiling, and the group was conversing charmingly; she was so angry it felt like she could breathe fire.

With a "bang," she came over and slammed the table hard,

"Do you even know what you’re doing? Do you know that there are still more than 2,800 octopuses wandering outside?

Do you know how many people died today?

Who said that citizen safety comes first, and here people are enjoying themselves, completely ignoring the octopuses escaping from the lab?

I just don’t understand how they can let a scoundrel like you be the main person in charge of this incident.

Sure enough, ordinary people are just ordinary people. You don’t even know how much responsibility a Power User bears. Do you know the cost of being a Power User? And do you know with such costs, how many things I was able to accomplish with my ability?"

Xiao Xiao became more aggrieved, seemingly wanting to pour out all her hardships, which ordinary people didn’t understand; what Power Users really go through.

How ridiculous, they were still indulging in food and drinks here.

Brother Fa and Jing Shu’s family all stared blankly at the woman rushing in.

The Director was embarrassed; he dared not offend Xiao Xiao, so he could only look at Jing Shu.

Jing Shu squinted her eyes and simply asked, "Miss Huang, I’m curious, how many octopuses did you catch after working hard for two days?"

Xiao Xiao puffed up her chest, "More than two hundred. I worked day and night, not hesitating to pay the cost, saving over two hundred lives, though dozens perished as well. But I caught every octopus I encountered."

Jing Shu, "Oh, you worked so hard and used so much ability to catch just over two hundred. It seems this job isn’t suitable for you. Maybe it’s time to step down and let someone more capable take over."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes. She was way too fond of rolling her eyes, Jing Shu even wondered if her eyes would fall out.

Clap clap clap!

Jing Shu clapped her hands.

Hulks rolled in from outside and lined up.

Then, each Hulk opened the top of their skull, and in an instant, countless octopuses gushed out from them.

"Ah ah ah!"

"So many octopuses!"

At this moment, everyone at the table, including Brother Fa and everyone from Jing Shu’s family, along with Xiao Xiao and the Director, had their eyes wide open.

Grandma Jing picked up a shoe sole and yelled, "Old man, quickly catch the octopuses, they taste amazing!"

Mrs. Jing kept patting Mr. Jing, "Quick, quick, ah ah, they’re escaping! Can’t let them escape! They’re so delicious!"

Jing Shu’s family was thrilled by seeing tasty food.

The Director and others were purely terrified.

But the next second, the octopuses that just crawled out were wrapped in green liquid and couldn’t crawl a step further.

Little by little, the green slime lifted the octopuses, making the Hulks look like a big tree covered densely with octopuses.

Jing Shu: "Counted yet? There are only about 2,500 here. You had 200, meaning there might be only another 200 out there, which might be hard to find."

The Director swallowed, so what Miss Jing said about fewer calls to the police is because of this? When did she catch them?

Xiao Xiao’s mouth had long dropped, unable to close. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

"You, how could you possibly have so many? How did you catch them? No, you didn’t catch them yourself, it was this slime? How did you get this slime?"

"Yes, this slime is the apocalypse’s dark new species. According to regulations, you should hand it over—"

Jing Shu picked her ear, "Anyway, Miss Huang, a bet is a bet, even if you find the last 200, you still lose. Why don’t you fulfill the wager now?"

"No! You cheated! It was supposed to be a bet between the two of us. Why did you have others help you?" Xiao Xiao shook her head frantically, sinking deeper inside.

She seemed to understand a bit why they handed the matter over to an ordinary person.

Jing Shu smiled wryly, "I said it very clearly. I’m just an ordinary person who can only call for help. I summoned these apocalypse new species, and you didn’t deny it at the time, which counts as accepting.

Now, do you still not want to fulfill your promise?"
