When he mentioned 'Number One', a hint of fear flashed in his eyes and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
It was not fear of the other party's strength or anything else, but simply an absolute psychological resistance to his appearance.
Jiao Hongyuan nodded.
"Number One is just a test subject, its proportions are not perfect yet, Tianxu Insect Mother can still give birth to better children..."
"However, it seems that Kant Company wants to try out the effect first. After a while, when No. 1 has fully grown up, they will release it."
Duan Kaiping nodded respectfully: "Yes."

Please give me a monthly ticket, please!
Chapter 53 Promotion and Salary Increase
By the time Xue Jing walked out of the bathroom, an hour had passed.
He walked into the living room and saw the cat curled up on the sofa, feeling autistic.
"Huh? You changed back?"
Xue Jing was surprised.
The person sitting on the sofa was not Ning Fengwan, the beautiful black-haired girl with cat ears, but a black cat with four white gloves.
"Yeah." Ning Fengwan buried the cat's head in the gap of the sofa and answered in a muffled voice.
She didn't know how to face Xue Jing.
He had such close contact with her in human form... and finally brushed against the unsheathed holy sword.
This was too stimulating for the girl who had never even held a man's hand.
When she thought of this, she wanted to hit her head against the wall and die on the spot.
Ning Fengwan stretched out her two cat paws and covered her face.
"Xiao Wan, how did you change back? Can you change again?"
Xue Jing walked to her side and sat on the sofa.
"You should call me Master..." Ning Fengwan said weakly, then sighed:
“… I don’t know. After I calmed down, I turned back into a cat.”
"Now I can't turn into a human anymore. It's really weird."
She felt a little disappointed, but also slightly relieved.
If she could completely return to her human form, then she would have no reason to continue staying in Xue Jing's house and become the leader of the Huilong Sect again.
Although it has been temporarily restored due to the triggering of special conditions, the situation is still unstable and we have to continue to stay here.
"Well... I recently met someone who knows a lot about divine relics. I will go to her tomorrow to ask for details." Xue Jing pondered.
Ning Fengwan nodded and did not ask Xue Jing how he knew this kind of person. She just looked at him with her emerald-like vertical pupils and a complicated look.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and an awkward atmosphere gradually spread between the two.
Xue Jing had been pretending as if nothing had happened since he came out of the bathroom, but he was beginning to feel a little overwhelmed.
He coughed dryly and said unnaturally: "I'm going out for a walk."
Then he got up, took the key and went out.
After hearing the sound of the door closing, Ning Fengwan lay on the sofa with her back up, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
The girl's mind flashed back to everything that happened in the bathroom, and she began to toss and turn on the sofa.
…
The next morning, Xue Jing woke up, lifted the quilt, looked at the cat still sleeping next to him, and smiled.
Yesterday, both of them calmed down for a while. By the time Xue Jing returned home, the awkward atmosphere had dissipated and the way they got along had returned to normal.
At least that's what it seems.
As for how things will develop in the future and what happened in the bathroom last night will eventually turn out to be, let time be the witness.
After finishing breakfast as usual, Xue Jing's [Cooking Skills] finally reached Lv4 according to the prompt on the panel.
After going out for his daily run and taking a shower at home, Xue Jing set off for Qingda University.
Without any stopping, he arrived at the seventh floor of Qingda Library.
In the dimly lit old library, there was still only one girl, sitting upright on a wooden chair, holding a book in her hands, exuding a quiet atmosphere.
Today's girl is not wearing the slim white T-shirt and tight jeans as before, but a black shirt with an off-white and gray plaid shirt, with the bottom tied at the waist, highlighting her slender waist. She is wearing a pair of slim black trousers that hold up her slender yet fleshy long legs, and simple white canvas shoes on her feet.
Because it was very novel, Xue Jing couldn't help but look at her twice more before he took out [Crown of the Evil Girl] and [Ordinary Glasses] from his schoolbag and placed them on the table in front of Wu Youqing.
"BOSS, mission accomplished." Xue Jing sat on the chair and said with a smile.
Wu Youqing closed the book in her hand, blinked, and looked at Xue Jing with her lavender eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job this time."
She said softly.
"I didn't expect that someone else would come and interfere. This happened and put you in danger. I'm sorry." The girl had a trace of apology on her face.
Xue Jing shook his head and said, "You are not a god, how can you think of everything? Since I chose to join the company and signed the contract, I have already made preparations. This level of danger is expected, so don't worry about it."
Wu Youqing nodded and said softly, "That being said... due to the special circumstances of this containment mission, I will upgrade it to a C+ rating, and your share of the subsidy will also be increased as compensation."
She took out a document from the bag on the seat next to her and handed it to Xue Jing.
"The man you killed was buried yesterday, and his identity has been discovered."
Xue Jing took the document and opened it.
There was an ID photo printed on the folder, and it was the man Xue Jing killed yesterday.
His name is Zhu Yingkun, and he was born in Yuancheng, one of the three inner-ring cities in the fifth metropolitan area.
"This man is a Class C internment officer of Xu's internment company."
Wu Youqing leaned forward slightly, leaned towards Xue Jing, and spoke.
"But I contacted Xu's shelter yesterday, and they told me very confidently that they did not assign Zhu Yingkun to carry out this shelter mission. This was his own personal behavior."
"This is a messy account that cannot be settled. We can only leave it at that. But I don't think Xu's shelter is trying to pass on the blame."
"Leaving your own jurisdiction and traveling all the way from the Inner Ring City to come here to receive a C-rank divine relic, this certainly doesn't seem like a mission assigned by the receiving company."
The girl whispered softly in front of Xue Jing, her hair falling in front of her eyes, emitting a faint fragrance.
"But no matter what the reason is, I will ask Xu's asylum to give you some compensation."
Xue Jing nodded, "It's up to you to decide."
Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss, and the other party was defeated by him.
"Speaking of which, Zhu Yingkun's autopsy report is a bit strange." Wu Youqing stared at Xue Jing and said meaningfully.
"Except for one of its eyes being destroyed, there were almost no wounds on the surface of its body. However, its internal organs seemed to have been eaten away out of thin air, disappearing without a trace."
"That kind of wound, it's hard to even tell how it was done..."
Xue Jing pinched his chin: "Well... Can I not say it? Good sister."
He doesn't know yet how Shadow Flame, a skill that is like a superpower, will be viewed by others, so it's better not to expose it for now.
Wu Youqing nodded and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. Everyone has secrets. It's enough for me to know that you have the corresponding ability to contain them."
She pulled one more thing out of her bag.
It was a black ID card similar to an ID card. The material was like obsidian and it reflected slightly under the dim light.
On the front is the "Death of God" outlined in white strokes, and the painting is very delicate.
There are a few lines of words written on the back.

Chapter 54: Privileges of the Shelter Certificate, Bastet, the Cat Goddess
Does this count as a promotion and salary increase
Xue Jing touched the words [Grade C] on the card.
"You performed very well this time. You successfully completed the containment mission even under special circumstances. In my personal judgment, you are qualified to become a C-level containment officer."
"This is the highest level that I can appoint directly. To go higher, you need official approval and you will be subject to some special assessments and tests before you can be promoted."
Wu Youqing saw Xue Jing playing with the cards curiously, smiled and said softly:
"This is a detention certificate, a special official license. With it, it will be much easier for you to carry out detention missions in the future."
Xue Jing's eyes lit up: "Oh? So I am also an official employee now?"
"He is a semi-official personnel." Wu Youqing emphasized.
Xue Jing was playing with the custody certificate. He didn't know what material it was made of, but it felt very comfortable to the touch.
"What specific convenience can it bring?" he asked.
Wu Youqing hesitated for a moment and said, "For example, if you were arrested by the Public Security Bureau after you killed that man yesterday, as long as you show your detention certificate and explain the reason, you can get parole and leave directly."
"They will then investigate the specific circumstances and confirm that you have not committed any conventional crimes, and then the matter will be over."
"Of course, if you really did commit a crime and used the detention warrant to excuse yourself, the Public Security Bureau would arrest you again after investigating and confirming it. Moreover, because you have a detention warrant, you will be judged as a high-risk criminal. They will directly send out very powerful experts, and even take a serious attitude of killing without mercy."
Wu Youqing crossed her arms and said:
"So, this thing just gives you some convenience, but it doesn't allow you to do whatever you want."
Xue Jing nodded and said, "I understand."
He stroked the admission certificate in his hand, reluctant to let it go.
Although I can't 'do whatever I want', the feeling of being a 'privileged person' is still a strange and indescribable feeling. Anyway, it's wonderful.
"From now on, you will be able to perform C-level, or dangerous-level containment missions, and your salary and allowance will increase accordingly. However, as I said before, starting from C-level, the objects contained are quite dangerous, so you have to be more careful."
Xue Jing nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Boss, now that I've been promoted, I should have more authority to view the data on the divine relics."
Wu Youqing nodded, took out her mobile phone, operated it for a while, and sent a website to Xue Jing on WeChat.
"This is a special official website for divine relics. Click in and take a look."
Xue Jing did as he was told.
After clicking on it, I entered a strange website with a completely black background and only an input box in the middle.
"Take up your admission certificate and place your right thumb on God's face for ten seconds." Wu Youqing said.
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows, stretched out his right thumb, touched the picture of "Death of God" on the front of the admission certificate, and pressed it on God's face.
Ten seconds later, the white lines on the admission certificate suddenly began to move randomly, arranging and combining with each other, gradually forming a group of letters and numbers at the bottom.
[FDS54#$dfkjs]
"This is a special feature of the containment certificate - the 'dynamic key'."
"Only by using this secret key, which changes every three minutes, can you log in to this website."
Wu Youqing explained.
Xue Jing nodded, indicating that he understood.
The general's order, right
Xue Jing entered the secret keys into the box one by one and clicked login.
