Chapter 19 Slander

After several trips back and forth using the guiding bee and flight talismans, Su Fan finally completed the procedural quest.

"Young hero, a batch of goods has arrived from Lin'an City. I can't get away, could you help me pick it up?" the boss of Yong'an Pawnshop said to Su Fan.

"No problem."

[Ding! New Quest: Pick Up Goods]

Su Fan glanced at the time. There wasn't enough time to do the quest, so he decided to strengthen his equipment first and then head back.

Su Fan's newly acquired equipment was the Bright Silver Boots and Refined Bracelet.

Refined Bracelet

Level: 5

Strength +4

Speed +5

This was a blue-grade equipment. While not great, it was a bit better than white-grade.

He directly strengthened it to +5. The Bright Silver Boots were also strengthened to +5. He wasn't short on money now, so he focused on improving his strength first.

Refined Bracelet +5

Level: 5

Strength +4 (+9)

Speed +5 (+10)

Bright Silver Boots +5

Level: 5

Defense: 8 (+14)

Speed +4 (+9)

After equipping these two items, Su Fan's attributes increased significantly.

His total Strength reached 44 points, and his total Speed reached 49 points, surprisingly surpassing Strength. However, Su Fan hadn't allocated the four free attribute points from leveling up yet.

After allocating all of them to Strength, Su Fan's Strength attribute reached 48 points, matching his Speed.

His Defense also increased by 5 points, reaching 62 Defense.

After doing all this, Su Fan recharged one hundred million yuanbao and purchased one hundred Attribute Pills.

He wondered what he would become after consuming these one hundred Attribute Pills.

However, Su Fan could only bring twenty of them out at a time, as the limit for one inventory slot was twenty.

But that was good enough. Twenty pills were equivalent to twenty attribute points in the game.

Upon returning to reality, Su Fan eagerly took out the Attribute Pills.

Looking at these twenty Attribute Pills, Su Fan's eyes gleamed.

He took one out to try first.

It still didn't taste very good.

After swallowing one Attribute Pill, Su Fan felt no reaction.

He simply grabbed a handful and stuffed them into his mouth.

Su Fan immediately felt a warmth within his body. A stream of energy generated in his dantian, then descended, passing through the perineum.

Pfft~

A gust of foul air was released from behind Su Fan.

Su Fan felt a bit embarrassed. It turned out to be a fart. He had thought he had generated true qi.

Su Fan ate the rest in batches. He felt his strength increase, as if he had inexhaustible energy, and his body became more agile. His abs, which he hadn't seen in a long time, had returned.

Su Fan casually picked up a Red Bull can. Red Bull cans are particularly hard; most people can't even crush them with their feet.

Su Fan applied only a little force, and the can was crumpled into a ball.

Su Fan was a bit stunned. He hadn't used any real strength.

He walked to the wall, clenched his fist, and punched the wall with force.

"Ouch!"

Su Fan cried out in pain, clutching his hand and gasping for air.

He looked at the back of his hand with concern, only to find that it wasn't injured. Instead, the wall had a dent where he had punched it.

"Holy crap!"

While his increased strength before was somewhat believable, this was now beyond human limits. Denting a concrete wall without his hand suffering any damage – was this something a normal person could do?

*Ring ring!*

Su Fan's phone rang at that moment.

"Hello?"

"Su Fan, are you busy right now?" The caller was Su Yutong.

"No, why?" Su Fan asked, confused.

"If you're not busy, come to the company. I'm waiting for you," Su Yutong said before hanging up.

Su Fan was a bit puzzled but tidied himself up and headed to Su Yutong's company.

"Brother Fan, why are you here?" Xiao Li, the receptionist, was very surprised to see Su Fan at the company.

Rumors had spread throughout the departments that Su Fan had been fired and hadn't shown up for work for several days, making the matter seem certain. He hadn't expected Su Fan to appear today.

"I have some business. Is President Su in?" Su Fan said with a smile.

Xiao Li was momentarily stunned by Su Fan's smile.

How had Su Fan changed so much in just a few days?

"President Su is in her office. Do you have an appointment?" Xiao Li, as the receptionist, still had to do her job.

"Please contact President Su. She knows I'm coming," Su Fan told Xiao Li.

"Oh, isn't this Xiao Su? You've already been fired from the company, and you still have the nerve to come here?" an untimely voice reached Su Fan's ears.

A man in his thirties, with a round, fat head and big ears, walked over.

Su Fan looked at him coldly.

This was Su Fan's former department supervisor, Deng Si.

"Supervisor Deng, Su Fan has an appointment with President Su," Xiao Li said to Deng Si.

When Su Fan was employed, he had treated Xiao Li well, so Xiao Li stepped forward to speak up for him at this moment.

"An appointment with President Su? Does he deserve that? Also, have you considered what I said before? Tongya is in trouble itself, so don't put all your eggs in one basket," Deng Si whispered to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li bit her lip, feeling very conflicted.

She knew the company was not doing well lately and was facing the risk of bankruptcy. Deng Si had approached her again, saying he could help her transfer to another company with a generous salary, provided she became his mistress.

Of course, she refused. But Deng Si had confidently assured her that Tongya would go bankrupt today, which made her very conflicted.

"Xiao Li, have you contacted President Su yet?" Su Fan didn't want to get entangled with Deng Si. Someone else would deal with Deng Si's transgressions. He wanted to see Su Yutong as soon as possible and find out what she needed.

"Still pretending? That's enough. Su Yutong doesn't have time to see unimportant people now. Even if you're going to show off, pick the right time," Deng Si said, mocking Su Fan.

"If you keep yapping, I'll rip your mouth open, believe it or not?" Su Fan turned his head and looked at Deng Si menacingly.

"You brat, you dare to threaten me!" Deng Si was instantly enraged. When Su Fan was under him, he had never dared to speak to him like this!

"I mean what I say. If you dare to bark at me again, I'll smash your mouth!"

"You! Security! Get him out of here!" Deng Si, seeing the threatening look in Su Fan's eyes, actually chickened out and didn't dare to confront Su Fan directly. Instead, he ordered the security guards to escort Su Fan out.

*Slap!*

Su Fan unceremoniously slapped Deng Si across the face.

Su Fan's dynamic vision had also been enhanced, and he clearly saw a large white tooth fly out of Deng Si's fat mouth.

The security guards had just arrived and only managed to catch the swaying Deng Si.

"You! You dare to hit me! This isn't over! I'm calling the police to have you arrested!" Deng Si said angrily after being slapped by Su Fan. However, he no longer dared to get too close to Su Fan, for fear of being hit again.

"Call the police? Do you dare? Leaking company secrets is enough for commercial crime, isn't it?" Su Fan taunted.

The words made Deng Si's body tremble.

How did Su Fan know about this?

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'll sue you for defamation!" Deng Si said, pointing at Su Fan's nose in a fit of rage.

"Whether it's defamation or not, you should tell that to the police."

At this moment, Su Yutong walked out of the elevator.
