Out of the instinct of law enforcement personnel.
Ning Shuangyu really wanted to pull out her handcuffs and arrest Lin Lang, the pervert who kidnapped an innocent girl!
But then she thought of how he was her lifesaver after all.
So she forcibly suppressed the impulse.
But Lin Lang didn't feel anything was wrong; he seriously said:
"I'll cover your meals and accommodation, and guarantee your safety."
Ning Shuangyu instantly felt like she had just escaped the dragon's den, only to enter the tiger's lair!
This wasn't some hot-blooded youth doing a good deed.
Clearly, he had ulterior motives!
He looked innocent and honest, yet harbored such lustful thoughts!
She already felt a bit disgusted but still tried to be tactful:
"Thank you! But during this unusual time, I don't want to think about personal matters temporarily."
Lin Lang chuckled:
"You misunderstood, I wasn't talking about love or marriage, just... if you get me, do you understand?"
Gu Fei: "..."
Ning Shuangyu: "..."
Should I commend you for your honesty?
Or say that you lack sensibility?
I believe that's truly what's on your mind, but you didn't have to be so blunt, right?
Moreover, saying this in front of another woman!
It's so embarrassing!
Seeing her uneasy look, Lin Lang added comfortingly:
"No rush, you can think about it slowly, after all, your current physical state doesn't support doing that."
"I won't force you."
"You're a superpower user, thus you'll recover probably in a few months. And if you want to leave by then, I won't stop you."
Hearing the last sentence, Ning Shuangyu was surprised:
"You know I'm a superpower user?"
But after thinking about it, it wasn't really strange.
The authorities tried hard to control this information, but the internet was too complex, and a few videos would always slip through, leaking the existence of superpowers.
Just.
It's impressive to deduce such important information from some scattered videos.
This Lin Lang, is not simple.
Ning Shuangyu firmly said:
"Sorry. I can't repay you with myself, but knowing I'm a superpower user, you should understand I can repay you differently. For example, ensuring your safety!"
Lin Lang chuckled.
This woman's combat strength was about the level of his once-strengthened self.
She wouldn't be able to take him on with one hand, and yet she offered protection?
So, he said:
"I don't need you to protect me, just repay with your body! Besides covering meals and accommodation, I can offer you a superpower fruit."
Upon hearing this, Ning Shuangyu was again shocked:
"You have superpower fruits here?"
Lin Lang smiled:
"Is ten enough?"
"Hiss!"
Ning Shuangyu took a deep breath!
She looked at Lin Lang with shock and deep suspicion!
Was he joking?
Did he think superpower fruits were just overripe fruits sold cheaply on the roadside?
They are supreme treasures that can bestow superpowers upon humans!
Each one is priceless!
Even she, an excellent agent, after multiple selections, was allocated only one!
Yet this guy casually offered ten!
No! No!
This isn't a matter of quantity!
Would I sacrifice my virginity for some superpower fruits? What would that make me?
She was about to refuse.
But Lin Lang, without blinking, said:
"Twenty."
Ning Shuangyu was speechless, words at the tip of her tongue, but she saw no point in further arguing.
This guy's persistence was too much, wasn't it?
This isn't how you joke either!
Spoken as if you really have them!
"It's not about the quantity..."
Lin Lang: "Thirty, that's the limit."
Ning Shuangyu's expression turned odd.
She confirmed Lin Lang was toying with her.
Thirty, really!
If he could produce thirty superpower fruits at once...
Then her chastity wouldn't seem so significant.
But the problem was, he couldn't have them.
Yet.
Lin Lang, as if reading her mind, patted Gu Fei's shoulder lightly:
"Show them to her."
Gu Fei sighed and had to take out the five superpower fruits Lin Lang had given her.
Five red little fruits cradled in her hands.
"No matter how many superpower fruits you have, this isn't a tradable matter..."
Ning Shuangyu was initially impatient.
But at that moment, her eyes widened suddenly!
Her face flushed!
The righteous words she had prepared vanished as she couldn't muster a syllable.
Her chest heaved so violently that it nearly exploded through her bandages!
Superpower fruits!
They were indeed superpower fruits!
Each superpower fruit was a priceless treasure!
And yet Gu Fei carelessly carried them in her pocket like snacks!
"These are Inspiration Fruits! How could you have so many?!"
Ning Shuangyu's voice trembled slightly.
"Oh?"
Lin Lang was a bit surprised too; he didn't expect Ning Shuangyu to correctly identify this fruit's superpower.
"You recognize it?"
Ning Shuangyu gravely nodded:
"Currently, we've discovered three types of superpower fruits."
"They are the red Inspiration Fruit, black Physique Fruit, and the golden Element Fruit!"
"The Inspiration Fruit grants a mysterious sensing power, similar to legendary divine sense or telekinesis."
"The Physique Fruit enhances body functions. I've consumed one, and it increased my speed and strength."
"The golden fruit is extremely rare. It's said only two were found in Blue Sea City. One person who consumed it gained control over wind elements and works in a wind power plant; another gained control over water and works at a water plant now..."
While speaking, Ning Shuangyu couldn't tear her gaze away from those five fruits.
She had only consumed one black Physique Fruit and gained strength beyond normal men.
If she consumed an Inspiration Fruit, she could enhance her sensing power.
Master the enemy's movements and detect various dangers quicker!
It could greatly enhance her combat abilities!
Especially with the cover of the Red Mist, she could seize the initiative faster!
Lin Lang listened to her words thoughtfully.
Indeed, the officials gathered much information in such a short time.
Which means.
The golden flower bud on the orchid on the computer desk is an Element Fruit, and consuming it lets one control an element?
Transform into the Magnetic King?
Or Fireman?
He snapped back to reality, steering the topic back on track:
"Have you made your decision?"
"I..."
Ning Shuangyu's face flushed.
She glanced at Lin Lang and then at Gu Fei beside her.
She didn't want to trade her body for anything.
But confronted with the temptation of those five... no, thirty superpower fruits, she couldn't utter the word "no"!
That was thirty superpower fruits!
If the news leaked, the officials might dispatch military helicopters to collect them!
Thirty superpower fruits meant thirty superpower users!
Although Inspiration Fruits don't directly enhance combat strength.
They could play a huge role in resource collection, disaster avoidance, and more!
This was a substantial asset for the officials!
Yes!
A conviction slowly rose in Ning Shuangyu's heart!
For her organization, she could even give her life!
What is a mere body in comparison!
Consider it as falling into enemy hands during a mission, enduring inhuman torture!
But not only did she not betray the organization, she also brought back thirty superpower fruits!
That would be a great achievement!
Moreover, Lin Lang was her savior.
His looks were quite decent.
Emotionally and logically.
She didn't feel too disadvantaged...
After some self-convincing.
Finally, Ning Shuangyu gritted her teeth:
"Alright!"
