Chapter 215: Chapter 0215: Video Call_1
Zhao Dawei, Qian Bing, and Sun Tie struggled to hold back their laughter.
Finally, Zhao Dawei said with disdain, "So you just wanted to get a ’special massage.’ If you wanted to go, you should’ve just said so. Why make up so many excuses? However, the place I’m taking you isn’t a nightclub. It’s... well, I can’t tell you where it is yet because you’re not qualified to know. But I can guarantee you’ll gain immense benefits and be grateful to me for the rest of your life. So, how about it? Are you willing to make a bet with me now?"
"Alright, I’ll take that bet." Zhang Bin felt he couldn’t possibly lose. Besides, he was sure Zhao Dawei wouldn’t dare deceive him, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Hahaha..." Zhao Dawei laughed excitedly. Victorious expressions also appeared on Qian Bing and Sun Tie’s faces.
They were one hundred percent certain that Zhang Bin was doomed to lose. Their team would soon gain an incredibly powerful expert capable of using Sword Control to slaughter enemies, someone who could effortlessly kill Liquid Transformation Late Stage experts. With a member like that, their team’s mission success rate would undoubtedly soar.

After returning to Capital City, Zhao Dawei got out of bed before dawn the next day. Ignoring his girlfriend’s pleas to stay, he went straight to the secret underground base to meet with Hanbing Yun. He relayed Zhang Bin’s warning: the Genetically Enhanced Humans had flaws that could trigger a great disaster, one that could potentially destroy the entire Earth. He concluded by saying, "Doctor Han, Zhang Bin truly possesses magical medical skills. His master’s words might have some truth to them. What do you think?"
Hanbing Yun put down the test tube in her hand and responded coolly, "Of course Genetically Enhanced Humans are dangerous. If not controlled properly, they can indeed cause disasters. What’s so surprising about that?"
"Well, my point is, Zhang Bin has magical medical skills. For instance, he can resurrect people who have just stopped breathing. That last time, Qian Bing’s throat was slashed... Talking with him and learning from his medical skills could be beneficial for the research on Genetically Enhanced Humans. It’s necessary for you to meet him," Zhao Dawei stammered, his lack of confidence revealing his unfamiliarity with the research.
"Hmm. The mortality rate during Genetic Enhancement is very high; it’s a difficult problem to overcome. If we had the help of a Divine Doctor like Zhang Bin, it would certainly benefit my research," Hanbing Yun mused, before adding, "In that case, transfer him to the base to be my assistant."
"Zhang Bin is just a civilian doctor, not a member of our Special Action Team. On top of that, he has a high cultivation level; even Master Tianlong is wary of him. So, transferring him here to be your assistant would be very difficult. Getting him to meet you once is a more realistic goal," Zhao Dawei said.
"Then have him come here. I will persuade him," Hanbing Yun stated.
"I’ve already invited him, but he refuses to come. He said that you should go see him," Zhao Dawei said awkwardly. "He’s too arrogant."
"Call him. I’ll have a video call with him." Hanbing Yun maintained her icy demeanor, but a closer look would have revealed a spark of anger flashing in her eyes.
How dare this mere farmer be so arrogant and presumptuous, demanding that she, Hanbing Yun, visit him in some small mountain village?
Soon, Zhang Bin, who had just gotten out of bed, received a call from Zhao Dawei.
"Turn on your computer, quickly. Doctor Han wants to have a video call with you," Zhao Dawei said.
Zhang Bin felt a flicker of anticipation. He went to the computer room, turned on his PC, logged into QQ, and added Hanbing Yun as a friend. Then, they started the video call.
When Hanbing Yun’s face appeared on the screen, Zhang Bin froze as if he’d been struck by lightning. He couldn’t move.
This woman was too exceptional. Dressed in a snow-white shirt, a black miniskirt, and with short hair, she wore no makeup, not even a hint of lipstick—a natural beauty, unadorned. Her exquisitely beautiful face was flawless, without a single blemish, spot, or mole; it was as clean as transparent crystal. Her eyes were particularly striking: large and as clear as a stream. She exuded an icy aura, as if she were a woman carved from ice and wrapped in a layer of fresh snow. She looked pure and beautiful, like a snow lotus from Tian Shan. Yet her gaze wasn’t cold, merely clear, seeming to peer right into the depths of one’s heart.
Without any preamble, Hanbing Yun got straight to the point. "Zhang Bin, I am Hanbing Yun. I admire you greatly, and I need your help. Please come to Capital City immediately to meet me, alright?"
Her voice was crisp, with an ethereal quality. Such a beauty making such a request was something no man could easily refuse.
Zhao Dawei, watching from the side, had a triumphant expression on his face. He was already imagining the wonderful scene of Zhang Bin readily agreeing.
In that instant, Zhang Bin was completely dazed. He felt lost in her stunning beauty, and her compliment made his blood boil with excitement. His heart pounded in his chest, and he desperately wanted to fly over to meet this gorgeous woman who so desperately needed his help. For such a woman, he would gladly lay down his life, let alone just help with her research! So, of course, he should agree without hesitation! How could he possibly let such a beauty down?
Thankfully, this was only a video call; he hadn’t met her in person. Coupled with his powerful spiritual power, he hadn’t been completely mesmerized and still retained a sliver of clarity and the ability to think.
If I agree, I’ll lose the bet with Zhao Dawei, which means I’ll become an official member of the Special Action Team. Then I’ll never be able to refuse a mission. Wouldn’t my life be miserable? I won’t even have time to chase girls anymore!
The thought of having no time to chase girls—of how difficult it would be to be intimate with beauties like Liu Ruolan, Xiao Fang, Liu Ruomei, and Tian Bingbing—caused Hanbing Yun’s allure to diminish dramatically.
Zhang Bin quickly snapped out of his daze and said with a smile, "Beautiful lady, you’re just running in circles for no reason. If you want a breakthrough in your research, you have to come see me."
What? Zhang Bin actually refused? Is he even a man? How could he reject an invitation from Doctor Han? Zhao Dawei was furious. If Zhang Bin were there right now, he would have rushed over and beaten him to a pulp.
A hint of surprise appeared on Hanbing Yun’s face. In her entire life, this was the first youth to ever refuse her. It was simply inconceivable.
She studied Zhang Bin intently and asked, "Are you sure you want me to come see you? Are you sure you can bring about a breakthrough in my research?"
"Yes, I’m certain," Zhang Bin said, his mouth curving into a sly smile even as he continued to gaze at the stunning Hanbing Yun, who looked like the Fairy of the Moon Palace. "And you must bring a tuition fee: two ginseng roots that are over five hundred years old!"
