Inside the living room.

Zhang Hao waited quietly.

Sitting across from him, Yang Erlang looked incredulous after hearing the story: "Really? Chairman, you're not kidding me? You really found the quack doctor?"

Zhang Hao said, "Yes, it's at the foot of the mountain, but I didn't find it... to be precise, he came to me on his own initiative."

"They came to us on their own initiative?"

"Yes, it's probably for trading some marine life, to conduct modification experiments like the one you're doing."

"So... what do you plan to do?" Yang Erlang asked cautiously.

"Of course, we'll take advantage of the fact that the other party needs our help and get him to remove the one-eyed zombie's eyeball."

"What if he doesn't want to? This guy is very persistent."

Zhang Hao said domineeringly, "As long as enough chips are paid, nothing is off-limits for trade. Even if you're unwilling, so what? In the face of true power... the weak have no right to say no."

"Thank you so much, Chairman. I have no way to repay you... I..."

Yang Erlang was too excited.

This one-eyed zombie's eyeball had tormented him for far too long.

I can't sleep well every night, afraid that I'll wake up as a zombie in the morning.

Now that he's finally able to have his eyeball removed, how could he not be excited? The chairman is his benefactor.

The black dog joked, "Why don't you marry him? I'll be your dowry."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Dog, be more respectful in front of the chairman," Yang Erlang said angrily.

"It's alright, stop talking, someone's coming."

Zhang Hao said one sentence.

This caused Yang Erlang's body to tense up instantly.

Knock knock knock!

There was a knock on the security door.

A middle-aged man walked in, guided by Fang Ping.

He had an ordinary, unremarkable face, but wore a white coat and a strange top hat. However, his eyes were bright and his demeanor was extraordinary. At first glance, he was clearly not an ordinary person.

The quack doctor saw that Yang Erlang was also there.

Having a slight guess in his heart, he remained outwardly calm and said, "Oh? It's an acquaintance, little Yang Jian... I thought you had already been infected and turned into a zombie. I didn't expect you to still be alive. You're really lucky."

"My name is Yang Erlang!"

"Understood, Yang Jian."

Yang Jian was angry.

But since the chairman was there, it wasn't appropriate to get angry.

Zhang Hao then spoke calmly: "The quack doctor, do you even know how to spell the word 'respect'?"

The eccentric doctor smiled and said, "Of course I know how to write the word 'respect,' but I only respect those who are strong enough to be my equals. Yang Erlang is not worthy of it. What do you think, Chairman Zhang?"

“But you’re on my turf now, and I’m asking you to respect me… so you have to respect me.”

"Haha, Chairman Zhang, why are you being so confrontational? I was just joking with little Yang. Sorry."

"Let's get down to business. What do you want?"

"Marine creatures, not too many, just a hundred or so of various kinds will do, and I can trade them for crystal cores."

"Okay, but you have to remove the eye between Yang Erlang's eyebrows."

"..."

The eccentric doctor shrugged: "President Zhang, you may not be aware, but after my powers have been transplanted into the test subjects, the materials used to remove them are irremovable. I can't help you with that."

"Is it really impossible, or is it that you're unwilling?"

"Of course not."

Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Oh, then I'm sorry, I can't give you any marine life."

The eccentric doctor couldn't help but chuckle: "President Zhang, do you think only your Dawn region has marine life? I could easily hunt them on other coastlines, but I didn't want to travel too much... that's why I chose you."

"Then go ahead, I don't mind."

Zhang Hao did not back down at all, his expression remaining calm: "But let me tell you, the entire southern peninsula's coastline of over a thousand kilometers is within the sphere of influence of my Dawn Society."

“If you want to go, you have to go to other more distant coastlines, or to Qiongzhou Island. Otherwise, any marine life confiscated here belongs to my Dawn Society, and you have no right to hunt it.”

The quack doctor's expression turned unnatural: "Are you threatening me?"

"Of course not, it's just a fact. You can choose not to trade... but goodwill doesn't matter when it comes to buying and selling."

"..."

The quack doctor was very angry.

He himself came from Qiongzhou Island.

So, to kill a marine creature, you have to go to an even farther place?

This is outrageous!

If it were anyone else, he would have already snatched it.

But at first glance, Zhang Hao gave him a very dangerous feeling; his strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

If a real fight were to break out, the losses would outweigh the gains.

"call……"

The quack doctor took a deep breath and said, "I can remove his eyes, but hundreds of marine creatures are not enough. I need another person."

"who?"

"Space System - Zhao Wu".

"Impossible, you're overthinking it."

Zhang Hao smiled dismissively.

This guy has some pretty deep schemes up his sleeve.

Those who want to trade with space-type awakened individuals simply want to obtain a special ability like the "pocket space" that makes it easier to carry supplies and collect the limbs of various creatures.

But Zhao Wu is a [Special Seed].

How could Zhang Hao possibly agree to that?

The quack doctor didn't mind: "Then let's choose another one. You have to show some sincerity, otherwise this deal won't be done."

"Tell me about it."

"Bloodline - Crimson Lotus".

Zhang Hao thought he had misheard: "Say it again? Who do you want?"

"Honglian, what's wrong?"

The quack doctor was getting impatient: "She's just a young girl, you can always find another one. You're not even willing to do that? Zhang Hao... do you think I, the quack doctor, have no temper at all?"

? ? ?

Zhang Hao was furious.

His eyes flashed with lightning, and arcs of electricity crackled.

"You little punk, how dare you lay a finger on Honglian? You shameless bastard—die!"

P.S.: This was written in a bit of a rush.

This story about the mysterious doctor is just as important as the one about the burning idiot; I need to put some thought into it and can't write it too casually. There will be an extra update tomorrow! The National Day holiday is only a week and a half away, everyone should be happy!
