Chapter 1281 - 1281: Lingering Effects

Inside the box, there are seven spheres, each wrapped in a layer of plastic paper with expressions painted on them.

The expressions are: laughing, crying, frowning, angry, terrified, sad, baring teeth.

Xiao Feng looked at the items in the box, then at Zhao Guo'an's smug expression, frowning into a bunch: "You're... kidding me, right?"

"How can this be a joke!" Zhao Guo'an protested, "Didn't you say you wanted a pill that could make someone embarrassed?"

Seeing Zhao Guo'an's serious expression, not like he's joking, Xiao Feng asked, "What's the specific effect of this stuff?"

"Just like the expression you see, whichever pill you take, you'll have the corresponding reaction."

"Have you tested it?"

"Of course, and this pill has no side effects, one can last for half an hour." Zhao Guo'an smiled, "If you don't believe me, you can try one yourself."

Xiao Feng immediately became cautious, fearing it would turn out to be "try and die," which would be a real joke.

"You try one first and let me see."

"If I try one, you'll try one?"

"Yeah."

Zhao Guo'an picked a frowning expression, tore off the wrapping paper outside, revealing the crimson pill inside, broke a piece, and put it in his mouth.

After half a minute, Zhao Guo'an's eyebrows gradually locked, looking no different from the expression on the paper.

"Are you sure you're not acting?" Xiao Feng asked suspiciously.

Zhao Guo'an, with tightly knit eyebrows, said, "Why would I need to act for you? If you really don't believe it, why don't you try it yourself?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Feng picked up the laughing expression, tore open the packaging paper, broke the pill into three pieces, and put one piece in his mouth, commenting:

"Hmm, the taste is not bad, a bit like creamy chocolate."

"Haha, you'll find out soon enough." Zhao Guo'an said, but his eyebrows remained locked, looking oddly out of place.

As time passed, two minutes later, Xiao Feng was still without a reaction, prompting doubt: "Is this pill fake?"

"That's impossible!" Zhao Guo'an responded in surprise, "Could it be that your drug resistance is strong, so the regular dose doesn't work?"

Xiao Feng thought about it, and figured it was possible, then took another piece and ate it.

This time, the reaction appeared quickly.

Xiao Feng felt his mouth muscles uncontrollably pulling upwards, and areas like underarms, soles, neck that easily trigger "laughter," all felt a bit ticklish.

It was as if someone was tickling him with a feather, yet unable to scratch the itch, using pain to suppress the impulse to itch.

"Hahahahaha!

Hahahahaha!

Hahaha..."

Xiao Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter, unable to stop.

"Hehe, now you know how potent it is, right?" Zhao Guo'an "frowned" sarcastically.

Outside the door, Hui Yi and others, focused on their work, heard laughter emanating from the nearby small room, leaving them somewhat baffled.

What could possibly make the boss so happy?

At that moment, everyone couldn't help but whisper, discussing why Xiao Feng was laughing.

Five minutes later...

"This isn't right, no matter how happy one is, it's unlikely to keep laughing for this long, right?"

"Why don't we go check it out?"

"Forget it, if you want to go, go yourself. I don't want to court trouble!"

Inside, laughter continued for another five minutes before Xiao Feng finally stopped.

Sitting on the chair, he felt soreness in his cheeks and abdominal muscles.

This showed that the pill inducing laughter could also be used for waist slimming, although the price might be triggering parotitis.

"Old Xiao, how do you feel?" Zhao Guo'an asked somewhat gleefully.

Xiao Feng glanced at him, didn't respond directly: "I've stopped laughing, why are you still frowning?"

"Ahem, the drug's effects haven't worn off yet." Zhao Guo'an touched his nose, embarrassed.

Truth be told, Xiao Feng felt this thing could still be useful.

Previously, he and Du Qingyue both agreed to cause trouble at Bai Huanyu's ceremonial foster son event, and Zhao Guo'an's set of "emotion management pills" would be just right.

Rubbing his cheeks, Xiao Feng said: "Prepare eighty to a hundred of the laughing and crying ones, and make them look like chocolate, the sooner the better."

"Okay, just give me the money." Zhao Guo'an reached out his hand.

"Why do you always bring up money, are you obsessed with it?"

"Don't I need costs for making these?

Besides, I haven't charged you patent fees, just the principal, isn't that fair?"

"How much?"

Zhao Guo'an stroked his chin, pondering: "Hmm... let's calculate for a hundred pieces, 300,000 should be reasonable."

"You'd better think carefully, think it over before speaking." Xiao Feng pulled out the knife from his boot and toyed with it in front of his eyes.

Zhao Guo'an furiously said, "I knew you'd pull this move, I'll pay out of my own pocket and give you an additional 150,000, is that okay?"

Xiao Feng's action changed, tossing the knife in his hand, seemingly ready to throw it at any moment, with a smiling expression: "Think more thoroughly."

"100,000!" Zhao Guo'an stated definitively: "Can't go any lower, or you might as well kill me!"

"Alright, 100,000 it is, when will it be ready?"

"Tomorrow, by tomorrow evening."

Xiao Feng took out his phone, transferred 100,000 to Zhao Guo'an, shaking his head and sighing: "Considering our brotherly friendship, I'll let you earn a little."

"Earn!" Zhao Guo'an gritted his teeth, too choked with anger to speak.

However, Xiao Feng was not wrong in what he said.

The cost of a hundred emotion management pills was roughly 70,000 yuan, so Xiao Feng's price of 100,000 yuan meant Zhao Guo'an actually earned 30,000 yuan.

As for this matter, it's evident that people can't keep falling for the same trick.

Having suffered countless times under Xiao Feng, Zhao Guo'an finally learned!

…

Glancing at Du Zhixiang, locked in the study, Xiao Feng returned to his own villa.

This time, Xue Nuofu became Xue Peeler, once again being cruel to himself, fearing this cruelty would continue, which could be troublesome.

But, worrying is futile now, still have to wait until Xue Nuofu wakes up to assess the situation.

"Little Xiangzhu, oh Little Xiangzhu, I really don't know what to say to you. I even want to smash your laid egg open, you know?"

In the yard, the little girl squatted in front of the Little Xiangzhu fortress, resting on her palm, looking bored.

Xiao Feng witnessed this scene, couldn't help but smile and then rubbed his cheeks.

After all, having laughed continuously for ten minutes, it's still a bit sore.

Upon hearing footsteps, the little girl turned her head to look at the door, her expression instantly dimmed, speaking weakly: "Xiao Feng brother."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Feng immediately sensed something's off, the girl's behaviour was quite unusual.

"Is it another troubling issue?"

The little girl sighed deeply: "My grandpa just called me."

"Oh? What did he say?"

"He said he wants me to come home for the New Year, but I..." The little girl said with a pout but then saw Xiao Feng suddenly smile and burst into laughter.

The little girl was caught off guard: "Xiao Feng brother, you..."

Xiao Feng hurriedly tried to control his expression with his hands, wishing to grab Zhao Guo'an for a good beating.

This rascal's pill research turned out to have lingering effects!
