I'm Already a God, and You're Only Now Telling Me There Are Monsters?

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: One Against Two

In just a few moments, Gu Qing had drunk every single one of the highly toxic solutions on the table.

He set down the beaker.

He carefully assessed his body’s condition.

’Hmm, not a single sign of poisoning. My toxin resistance is absurdly high.’

’It seems that with my current Physical Strength alone, I can easily resist ordinary toxins.’

’But I can’t get arrogant yet.’

’This is a world with Extraordinary Power; there must be even more potent Extraordinary toxins out there.’

’So, before I can grind out the Immune to Hundred Poisons ability, I have to maintain a healthy respect for any and all toxins. I can’t underestimate them in the slightest.’

’Speaking of which... I wonder what Zhou Yuan’s situation is right now.’

’The Immune to Hundred Poisons ability I’ve been longing for has to be ground out from the [Biochemical Madman] tag above his head.’

’Once this final comprehensive test is over, I’ll go ask Lin Tianyang about him,’ Gu Qing thought to himself.

...

「On the second-floor corridor.」

Lin Tianyang and the other rank-and-file men in black were in utter disbelief, their faces a mask of shock.

The Physical Strength Gu Qing was displaying seemed to be on par with veteran Night Court members like themselves.

In fact, in some areas, he clearly surpassed them.

As fellow Extraordinary Contactors, the Physical Strength of these Night Court veterans was very high.

They could probably manage what Gu Qing had just done in the testing area, but they would have to grit their teeth and push themselves.

This was because they had all been in contact with Extraordinary phenomena for many years.

At least a decade or more.

Their Physical Strength was no less than Gu Qing’s.

However, they all had clear strengths and weaknesses.

They weren’t as well-rounded as Gu Qing.

Their specific strengths and weaknesses depended on the type of Extraordinary phenomena they had come into contact with.

If they encountered a speed-related Extraordinary phenomenon, their own speed would be greatly enhanced.

Their attack and defense would also be strengthened, but to a much lesser extent.

But Gu Qing was a perfect ”hexagon warrior,” completely well-rounded.

Whether it was power, speed, defense, or his various resistances, everything was off the charts.

”This college kid is ridiculous. He’s so young, but his Physical Strength is already catching up to ours. Don’t tell me he’s been in contact with Extraordinary phenomena since he was in the womb?”

”Seriously ridiculous. The guy is tough, hits hard, and is absurdly fast. When it comes to being well-rounded, he’s way stronger than any of us.”

”I’m really curious. How many years has he been in contact with Extraordinary phenomena, and what kind was it?”

”You guys think there’s a chance one of his parents is an Extraordinary Awakened?”

”That’s impossible. If one of his parents were an Extraordinary Awakened, he wouldn’t have just gone through the motions of studying for college. He would’ve been scouted for special training long ago.”

The men in black chattered among themselves.

He Haikun stood off to the side listening, his expression gradually turning sour.

This college student was recruited by Lin Tianyang.

The better the kid performed, the more generous Lin Tianyang’s recruitment bonus would be.

This made He Haikun exceptionally displeased.

Meanwhile, Lin Tianyang noticed the look on his rival’s face and gloated inwardly.

’Oh, heavens, I was wrong about you.’

’You may be unfair, but at least you’re not specifically targeting me.’

’While you sent that son of a bitch two Extraordinary Awakened, you also knew to send me an Extraordinary Contactor whose Physical Strength is off the charts.’

’Although even the most powerful Extraordinary Contactor isn’t as valuable as any random Extraordinary Awakened... ’

’...he’s at least more valuable than the other nine ordinary Extraordinary Contactors combined.’

’I, Old Lin, am content.’

...

「Downstairs.」

Gu Qing had just walked out of the testing area.

Liu Yue, a girl with a very Americanized vibe, approached him with a smile.

”Hey handsome, you’re amazing!”

”It was alright.”

Gu Qing smiled.

Liu Yue asked curiously, ”By the way, your Physical Strength is so insane. If I’m not mistaken, you must have become an Extraordinary Contactor when you were very young, right?”

”I guess so.”

Gu Qing’s answer was vague.

Liu Yue raised an eyebrow, knowing Gu Qing didn’t want to answer the question.

But she could understand. After all, it concerned his privacy, his secrets, and maybe even his trump card.

”Handsome, let’s add each other on WeChat.”

Liu Yue took out her phone, pulled up her WeChat QR code, and presented it to Gu Qing with a smile.

’Gu Qing’s Physical Strength is just too explosive. Deep down, I’m practically drooling, constantly imagining him pinning me down as we... blow off some steam together.’

’I’ve decided: once I’ve firmly established myself in the Night Court, I’ll use my position to force Gu Qing into becoming my boy toy.’

’Of course, it would be even better if I could lure Gu Qing into my bed with my charm alone.’

’But he’s so handsome, and I’m so plain. Unless he’s blind, I can’t think of any reason why he’d be interested in me.’

’As for those ”domineering CEO falls in love with divorced-mother-of-two me,” ”falls in love with janitor me,” or ”falls in love with old, faded, menopausal me” storylines...’

’...only stupid women believe in those kinds of plots.’

’I’m a smart woman; I never believed in any of that.’

’I only believe in beauty, wealth, and power.’

’I don’t have beauty.’

’But I have wealth and power.’

’And those two things are the source of my confidence that I can one day make Gu Qing my kept man.’

”Sure.”

Gu Qing replied coolly.

He then took out his phone, opened the scanner, and added Liu Yue on WeChat.

’Liu Yue is an Extraordinary Awakened with a [Spiritual Mind Master] tag floating above her head. Even if she hadn’t taken the initiative, I would have found a chance to add her later anyway.’

Seeing that Liu Yue had gotten his contact, the other girls in their testing group swarmed over, asking to add his WeChat as well.

He was magnanimous, accepting all comers and adding every one of them.

...

By a nearby wall.

Wu Jiahao leaned against it with his head down, trying to look profound.

But from under his hood, his eyes were fixed on Gu Qing, filled with envy, jealousy, and hate.

He had been looking forward to today’s recruitment test for a long time.

You could say he fantasized almost daily about showing off his Divine Techniques, stealing the spotlight, and shocking everyone present.

But then Gu Qing had come out of nowhere and stolen all the thunder he had so eagerly anticipated.

’You dare steal Brother Jiahao’s thunder?’

’I think you’re just asking for a shock!’

’Just wait until the comprehensive test starts. We’ll see if Brother Jiahao doesn’t mess you up! I’ll give you a round of hundred-thousand-volt shock therapy!’

Wu Jiahao thought viciously.

He had fused with the genes of a mutant electric eel, allowing his body to unleash an ultra-high voltage, enough to take down an adult elephant in a single second.

And by ”take down,” he didn’t mean stun—he meant kill.

Even if Gu Qing was much stronger than an elephant, Wu Jiahao refused to believe he could withstand his ”shock therapy.”

’If one shock doesn’t knock him out...’

’...then I’ll shock him twice!’

...

「At the same time, at Hai City University.」

Huang Xiaoyue was on her phone, sending several WeChat messages to Gu Qing, asking him to hang out.

But after waiting for nearly an hour, Gu Qing still hadn’t replied.

She didn’t know if he was intentionally ignoring her or if he genuinely hadn’t seen her messages.

’In this day and age, where no one is ever without their phone, can a college student really go an hour without looking at it?’

Huang Xiaoyue stared at Gu Qing’s WeChat profile picture, her brow furrowed in annoyance.

She desperately wanted to swallow Gu Qing whole, to have her flat stomach swell as if she were nine months pregnant, and to savor that long-awaited taste of the Extraordinary.

But every time she asked Gu Qing out, he would make some excuse to turn her down.

Today, he hadn’t even bothered to reply.

If she couldn’t even get him to meet up, she had no opportunity to make her move.

”No!”

”I can’t take it anymore!”

”I must have a taste of the Extraordinary today!”

Huang Xiaoyue was frantic with hunger.

She immediately exited WeChat, opened a mysterious messaging app, and anonymously contacted a Rat Slave. She ordered them to file a false report to lure out the two men in black who had jurisdiction over this area.

Already overcome with insatiable hunger and thirst, she was going to take on two opponents at once and devour both of those men in black!
