Chapter 142 - What A Coincidence
"Hello, is this Mr. Liu Qiang?" Zhang Qin Feng politely speaks through the phone when it was connected to a stranger. Judging from the tone he's using in his speech, there's a hint of seeking help.
"It is I. Who give you my contact?" the person across the line admitted that he was the one Zhang Qin Feng was looking for. But instead of asking about the purpose of this call, he wanted to know who gives out his contact.
To his knowledge, only five people knew about this hidden contact number. Four of them come with a surname of Wang, and the fifth person was his wife. For the sixth person to call him out of the blue was a surprise.
"This junior's name is Zhang Qin Feng. I had your contact from Wang Yufei. She's my girlfriend." Zhang Qin Feng introduced himself.
"Oh... The brat that went into the embassy building to fight the terrorist, correct? You've finally called. What you need this uncle to do for you?" Liu Qiang said. His tone was friendlier, but there's still a hint of oppression from the way he speaks.
"Uncle Liu, this nephew need to build some financial stability to invest in his business but had no way to safely get the funds. I wonder if Uncle Liu is interested in ten kilograms of gold in the form of pure ingot?" said Zhang Qin Feng.
"Ten kilograms of gold? That's quite some expensive thing you got there... Any markers on them?" Liu Qiang asked. Naturally, the marker he meant was the logo and registration on the gold.
Although gold trading wasn't illegal, dealing with physical gold without authorization had its pro and cons. And from Liu Qiang's words, there's likely more troubling matters under the surface.
"Clean without markers. Self-made." Zhang Qin Feng admitted with complete honesty. Although this might made his gold worth less than expected, it was better than creating a not-that-friendly relationship with this man he might have to depend on financially.
"Oh... One last question." the sound of fingers flicking is heard from Liu Qiang's side as he responded to Zhang Qin Feng's answer.
"What you're going to use the money for?" Liu Qiang shoots the last question out.
"Small scale factory with packaged food, and maybe a little in beauty supplements." Zhang Qin Feng replied.
"Alright. That's all this uncle needs to know. Where are you staying? Come out and have dinner with this uncle on Sunday evening. We'll discuss this after meeting face to face." Liu Qiang suggested.
"Grand Season Hotel." Zhang Qin Feng answered.
"I'll send a driver. Meet him outside the valet at 6pm tomorrow. He'll take you to my whereabouts." Liu Qiang's instruction was a simple one.
"Great. See you tomorrow, uncle Liu." Zhang Qin Feng unconsciously nodded after he agreed to their appointment tomorrow.
[Toot... The serum is completed. Would the user like to apply the injection right now?]
Stein asked. His overall loot was a positive one from the battle yesterday. Although it was quite a loss from the failure to secure the Tyrant's corpse, the drops from regular zombies were still more than enough.
Knowing he will need more serums than ever, Zhang Qin Feng ordered Stein to create a set of Physique, Fitness, and Potential Serum the moment he got back to the modern world.
'No. Let's put the three Grade-G Serum as a safety measure until we have at least three reserves ready as a backup. What's the number of Grade-H serums we have right now?' Zhang Qin Feng asked after he ordered Stein to keep the Grade-G serums aside.
[Right now, there's two Strengthening Serum and Concentration Boost Serum available. As for the Diluted version found from collecting the zombie's drop, we have 11 Strengthening and 6 Concentration Boost available]
'We'll leave the diluted version to the survivors back in the base. Administered the two Strengthening and Concentration Boost Serum on me. I'll take a rest until the medicinal effect is over.' Zhang Qin Feng said.
[Noted. The system will inject the serum into the user's body right now. Countdown in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...]
[Injected]
Closing his eyes, Zhang Qin Feng fell into a deep sleep after concentrating on his breathing. Four hours have passed after he took the injection. Contrary to the usual tiredness from overslept, he actually felt energetic.
It was like he was injected with some steroids and also took a few energy drinks. Feeling a little thirsty after waking up, Zhang Qin Feng went to the minibar for a bottle of cold water.
'Did the housekeeping comes in just now?" Zhang Qin Feng noticed that the fridge is filled with beers, wine, soft drinks, and bottled water. The clothing he wore to the apocalypse yesterday was neatly folded as it was placed in a small laundry basket.
As long as Zhang Qin Feng called the number through the room's intercom, the laundry service would come and collect whatever was needed to clean from him.
'I should leave them some tips next time even if I'm asleep. But before that, let's search for something to eat. Stein, any suggestion?' Zhang Qin Feng changed into a new set of clothing and left the hotel in a casual look.
Randomly searching around, he eventually came to a place where 90% of its clients were youngsters still in their college and universities. Going inside and ordered something he saw on their trays, it racked up a bill of 35 Yuan Dollars.
"Please wait by the waiting area on your left. You can check if your food was ready according to the number on your receipt. Can we have the next customer to this counter, please?" the cashier smiled at Zhang Qin Feng after finishing what she had to say. Before waiting for his response, she called out for the next client, as it was a peak lunch hour right now.
"Thank you." Zhang Qin Feng left with a smile. But as he turned around and ready to go to the waiting area, he saw a familiar face waving her hand at him.
"Hi... What a coincidence." it was Alice Moon. This was the first time he saw her during the weekend. She looked more gorgeous than she was while in her working attire.
