Chapter 693: Chapter 691: The Moment of Eating (Part 8)_1 Chapter 693: Chapter 691: The Moment of Eating (Part 8)_1 A certain special gas had been silently introduced into this room just now.
And it clearly carried a rather strong paralyzing effect, the kind that not even Transcendents could be immune to.
The reason for doing so was twofold: to limit my own ability to move, and to test the intensity of “Patch’s” consciousness.
Fu Qian silently judged the situation as he watched the stunned man.
Unfortunately for them, such tactics were almost negligible for the current him.
If these people had been ruthless enough to pump in hydrogen sulfide, perhaps it could have had a greater impact on his mood.
But now, he could use this opportunity to further solidify his persona.
“So now the question comes, how should I address you?”
The short, stout man’s expression became quite stiff upon realizing he had been played by Fu Qian.
However, Fu Qian didn’t give him the chance to mentally prepare himself, sarcastically asking,
“Ulrich… Gaya Ulrich!”
Fortunately, facing Fu Qian’s question, he hadn’t lost the courage to respond.
But this mix of gritting his teeth while introducing himself in a 007 style made Fu Qian’s expression turn strange.
Gaya Ulrich?
So this was the man he was looking for?
Fu Qian scrutinized the mission target that had just presented itself.
He was also a Middle Tier player, close to Dr. Cynthia from before, but still a huge distance away from a Demigod.
If it really came to a fight, he could dispatch him in two seconds.
But Fu Qian wasn’t in a hurry to act.
Theoretically, this strategy had been executed with considerable success.
After realizing the cognitive impact of the sound of horse hooves, he had turned the table on them, thoroughly embodying Patch to the extreme, ultimately attracting attention, being listed as a key observation subject, and even had the target deliver himself to his doorstep.
Everything was logical, and luck wasn’t without reason.
But what is logical isn’t necessarily the truth, especially when information is scarce.
Considering his knowledge of past mission styles, since things were going so smoothly, Fu Qian decided to continue playing Patch to the end to glimpse the full scope of this test plan.
“I am the person in charge of this test project, and I must say, your performance has been quite eye-catching.”
“In fact, upon reflection, I’m even quite glad for your current answer.”
Gaya Ulrich clearly didn’t know Fu Qian’s train of thought and, after briefly adjusting his mood, regained his composure.
“To be able to have a conversation with a Patch of this level.”
“Oh? Why is that?”
“That’s difficult for me to explain to you, but we can take our time.”
Gaya gestured for the guards to bring in a chair from outside.
And as soon as the chair was put down, he sat down eagerly like an office worker lacking exercise, even with a bit of a huff and puff.
“According to the data provided by Cynthia, your memory was quite significantly impacted after the first exposure.”
Gaya then picked up a document to peruse.
“So I want to confirm, do you remember why you came to participate in the test?”
“Because of my mistake?”
Fu Qian pondered briefly and asked cooperatively.
“It seems your memory isn’t completely blank.”
Gaya nodded his head in satisfaction.
“You’re right, the company provides everyone the opportunity to atone for their mistakes, and the rules are clear.”
“However, your original mistake was somewhat severe, and mere basic testing was not enough to completely offset it.”
“So initially we had to suspect that you were pretending to be affected for this reason, to give yourself a chance to enter the next round of testing.”
Just as I suspected.
Fu Qian thought to himself as he listened.
The company he was keeping was indeed all about redeeming themselves and reducing their crimes.
This made sense, after all, simple military intimidation was hardly enough to make a group of superhumans so cooperative in testing.
To achieve this effect, a carrot and stick approach was necessary.
For instance, being reinstated to their former positions after completing the tests, and continuing to hold their place in the system, and so on.
Only then, after each person weighed the pros and cons, would they willingly become guinea pigs.
Quite a suitable tactic; if this really was Yasui Corp’s doing, one could only say that the King of Ye Island did have some standards.
“A reasonable suspicion, so what now?”
Fu Qian nodded and said.
“What now? Without a doubt, you have become one of our greatest findings in this test. With your help, I think our research on that ‘thing’ can significantly deepen–”
“That ‘thing’? You mean me?”
Fu Qian suddenly interrupted Gaya, both smiling.
“That… item, it brings a very strong mental influence.”
Fu Qian’s tone changed abruptly, causing Brother Gaya’s face to turn momentarily unnatural.
The skilled guard standing next to him took a step forward, raising the alert level.
Unfortunately, it was still a moment too late; Fu Qian’s right hand had already shot out with terrifying force like a bolt of lightning.
With Gaya’s skills, he clearly couldn’t avoid such a surprise attack.
However, as Fu Qian’s hand approached his face, an invisible force seemed to blow across it, and in an instant, the skin withered as if being drained of vitality.
Unfortunately, this strange curse did nothing to deter Fu Qian, and the next moment Gaya’s neck was firmly in his grasp.
But the neck captured was still transforming.
Gaya’s thick neck abruptly turned viscous like mud, black tinged with blue.
Fu Qian might as well have been holding a giant slug, which was attempting to escape from his grip.
The next moment, spikes grew from Fu Qian’s hand, rendering Gaya’s struggle utterly ineffective.
“Don’t be rash, you’ve just been misled, we’ll help you get out of this!”
Desperation finally appeared on Gaya’s face as he managed to get a sentence out.
Even the guards were now looking at each other, not daring to make a move.
The sight of a Middle Tier Transcendent instantly subdued, Fu Qian’s display of horrifying power clearly deeply intimidated everyone present.
“Didn’t you just say you were glad I’m Patch?”
“Doesn’t my performance now provide you with even more valuable information?”
“I am fine–”
Fu Qian’s words made Gaya struggle, but he still gestured to the guards not to approach.
“What exactly do you want?”
“Isn’t it obvious, I want all the research data on ‘me’.”
At this moment, Fu Qian casually flipped through his own test record, confirming that it contained only names and numbers, along with some simple notes, and not much of value.
“That’s top secret information!”

Upon hearing Fu Qian’s demand, Gaya was clearly surprised.
“Such actions will bring quite a bit of trouble your way.”
“Thanks for the heads up.”
Fu Qian’s face bore a smile, and with the wounds on his face, he looked particularly unhinged.
“So, can we make this quick?”
