Red-backed centipede (14)
Shi Jianxia was confused at first when he was suddenly barraged with questions, but then he realized the other party's identity and raised his eyebrows. "If you have a disease, go get treatment. Don't bite anyone you catch."
The original owner lived under someone else's roof and lived like a transparent person in the side branch family, but he was still caught and bullied by Xia Muyang. It seemed that bullying and belittling the original owner could increase his own value.
Seeing that she dared to mock him, Xia Muyang widened his eyes and raised his hand to grab her, but a slightly majestic voice stopped him, "Xia Muyang! What are you doing?"
The middle-aged man in a suit and tie frowned. He had just gotten off the hovercraft and there was obvious fatigue between his brows.
Xia Muyang turned around immediately upon hearing his father's voice, accusing him, "Dad! That damn girl must have said something at the Zerg Investigation Office, slandering us for what happened yesterday!"
Before the middle-aged man could speak, a lazy voice came over first, "Mr. Xia, speaking in the Zerg Investigation Department requires evidence."
Shi Jianxia looked in the direction of the sound.
Gongye Jiwang leaned against the sensor door at the entrance of the Zerg Investigation Office with his arms folded across his chest, his eyes lowered, looking as if he had not yet woken up.
So... this guy's mimicry is that of a sleepyhead, right? Otherwise, why do I always feel sleepy when I see him?
Gongye Jiwang seemed to notice that she was looking at him and glanced sideways.
Their eyes met, and Shi Jianxia felt a little embarrassed as he was talking bad about the other person in his heart.
Gongye Jiwang didn't know what she was thinking and smiled politely.
朏朏 immediately lifted up its long tail, and its big round eyes looked like a human baby seeing a sweet and delicious cake. It wanted to jump out of Shi Jianxia's arms and rush into the world of delicious food.
Shi Jianxia quickly grabbed Xixi and nodded to Gongye Jiwang. He glanced at the middle-aged man who was staring at him with a frown and said calmly, "If Hope Pharmaceutical has committed any crime, I would be happy to participate in the next search mission."
When 朏朏 began to flutter, Xia Muyang noticed it. He was staring at Shi Jianxia with extremely shocked eyes and said in disbelief: "You have awakened the mimicry? You are not a useless-"
"Xia Muyang! Shut up!" the middle-aged man scolded again.
Shi Jianxia raised the "Xiaoxiao" and deliberately summoned the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to wave it in front of Xia Muyang. "This is my mimicry. Let me show you. Don't be too envious. I envy you too much."
Xia Muyang was almost pissed to death by her on the spot.
In the Xia family, everyone knows that Shi Jianxia was thrown to Shuiyuan Star by the main family because she was unable to awaken the mimicry. The children, led by Xia Muyang, even deliberately used this incident to ridicule her, saying that she was a waste, but they never thought that they also did not have mimicry.
Shi Jianxia vented his anger for the original owner and left the Zerg Investigation Office in a swagger.
As she got on the hovercraft, the smile on her face disappeared. Thinking back to the middle-aged man's expression just now, there was nothing special about him except that he kept staring at Xixi and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
During the two days he was lying in the hospital, Shi Jianxia searched through the original owner's memory but still couldn't find where the jade token in the backpack came from.
She had speculated that the original owner might have lost some memory, but the memory was coherent, with no blank periods.
Shi Jianxia thought about it and felt that the branch family where the original owner had once been was the most suspicious.
These two days, she browsed the news and saw that the Chamber of Commerce Building was invested and built by Hope Pharmaceuticals of the Xia family of Shui Yuanxing, and the 66th to 88th floors were also the offices of Hope Pharmaceuticals.
She carefully reviewed the relevant information of Hope Pharmaceuticals. They launched the semi-parasitic body resuscitation project ten years ago, but never achieved any research results. Two years ago, because the project only brought in money but not out any money, the group's capital chain was broken and the previous owner committed suicide by burning himself at home.
The Xia family was in chaos at the time, and the original owner took the opportunity to run away.
But for some reason, Hope Pharmaceutical did not go bankrupt, and the Xia family of Shuiyuanxing acted as if nothing had happened except for the change of the head of the family.
After the original owner left the Xia family, he was only concerned about his livelihood and did not pay attention to subsequent events. The content that could be searched on the Star Network only said that Hope Pharmaceutical had experienced a crisis two years ago and later got through it safely.
Shi Jianxia also realized that it was not an easy task to find out where the original owner's jade token came from and whether it was related to the Xia family by his own strength.
In the past two days, the investigators who came to inquire about what happened on the day of her mission all asked in detail about the appearance of the silver medal, and their expressions were slightly strange. They also told her not to tell this matter to anyone.
Someone within the Zerg Investigations Bureau likely knows what the silver medal represents.
-
In the cubicle of the Zerg Investigation Department's interrogation room.
"Director Zhuang, Shi Jianxia submitted an application to join the Zerg Investigation Bureau. However, it was rejected by the Human Resources Department of Shuiyuan Star because his physical examination report failed and his mimicry combat level was too low." said the assistant.
Hearing this, Jiang Yingdu and Gongye Jiwang turned their heads at the same time.
Zhuang Mingyue glanced at Xia Jianye who was being questioned and raised her eyebrows. "Send the application over so I can take a look."
The assistant immediately forwarded the application to her as she asked.
Zhuang Mingyue unfolded her intelligent brain, and Gongye Jiwang leaned forward. He saw the reason for the application and read it word for word, "I want a free aircraft."
Jiang Yingdu: "..."
Zhuang Mingyue chuckled, "You have some personality. Say hello to Shui Yuanxing's Human Resources Department. I want you."
"There are still some suspicious points about her." Jiang Yingdu stated the facts.
"Isn't that good?" Zhuang Mingyue chuckled. "Put it next to you, and you can check it out."
Jiang Yingdu: "...I suspect you want me to work for you for free."
"How is that possible? I pay you on time every month." Zhuang Mingyue said innocently.
Gongye Jiwang...
Gongye Jiwang yawned and decided to keep quiet to avoid getting into trouble.

Although Shi Jianxia really wanted to know what the silver medal and the jade medal represented respectively, she also knew that some things could not be rushed. Instead of worrying about some questions that could not be answered in a short time, it was better to relax and be happy every day.
She took a comfortable hot bath and leaned back on the bed, snoring at the soft fur of the nine-tailed fox and the little fox.
The two little ones were very well-behaved. They lay on the quilt, one on the left and the other on the right, allowing her to touch them. However, one of them raised its tail higher than the other, as if they were secretly competing with each other.
Shi Jianxia did not expose their little thoughts, and was ready to see what changes would happen to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" after absorbing the diamond-shaped crystals.
During the past two days in the hospital, she kept the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the spiritual power spring and did not dare to take it out to read, for fear that Jiang Yingdu or other people from the Zerg Investigation Office would suddenly say "let me see it".
In that case, the fact that "Classic of Mountains and Seas" can be upgraded might be exposed.
Strangely enough, when Dr. Jiang was doing a mimicry appraisal on her, he just scanned her with an instrument without looking through the contents of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It seemed that as long as he could determine the level of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and her mimicry talent, the second-level mimicry was not important.
But if you think about it carefully, the current level of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is only C-level, almost at the bottom of the mimicry food chain. Any B-level mimic can beat it. Except for the fact that the number of second-level mimics that can be summoned is a little more, there is nothing worth paying attention to.
No one knew what that diamond-shaped crystal was, and what kind of changes it had made to her body. Why couldn't the doctor find out?
Shi Jianxia was thinking while turning the title page. When he was about to turn to the table of contents, he suddenly saw that the content of the title page had been updated and immediately sat up straight.
[Mimetic Level: C (Upgrading)]
"Classic of Mountains and Seas" is upgrading!
Is it the work of that diamond-shaped crystal?
Shi Jianxia was a little excited.
Ever since she knew that "Classic of Mountains and Seas" could be upgraded to a higher level of mimicry, she wanted to know how to upgrade it. She never expected that happiness would come so suddenly.
She bent her fingers and gently stroked the three words "Upgrading". Just as she was about to turn the page, "Classic of Mountains and Seas" suddenly left her palm and floated into the air, and the pages turned with a rustling sound.
This scene is indeed familiar.
The nine-tailed fox and 朏朏, who were lying on the bed and wagging their tails, seemed to have sensed something and raised their little heads curiously.
The next moment, a fiery red bird flew out, followed by strange beasts jumping out one after another, and hills floating out one after another.
Shi Jianxia had already experienced the benefits of mimicry and was instantly delighted.
The more secondary mimics she summons, the more mimic talents she can choose and use, and the better she can protect herself when encountering danger.
After a while, who knows how many strange beasts and hills the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" summoned, the room was so crowded that it was difficult to stand. Shi Jianxia felt that something was wrong.
How come the Classic of Mountains and Seas can summon so many Level 2 Mimics at once this time? Previously, it could only summon ten.
She quickly crawled out from the crowded group of mimics, grabbed the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in mid-air, and closed it with a snap.
The sound of turning pages stopped, and Shi Jianxia was squeezed hard by the mimicry beside her.
Fortunately, 朏朏 was smart enough and quickly opened the door. The mimics immediately rolled out like a flood after the gates were opened, covering the ground.
Shi Jianxia's mouth twitched as he watched. He pinched the cover of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and warned, "Stop vomiting! If you vomit again, my family will crush your little bastards."
I don't know if the Classic of Mountains and Seas understood it, and it didn't "spit out" the mimicry anymore.
Shi Jianxia breathed a sigh of relief, but also wanted to know how many second-level mimics the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" had summoned this time, so he carefully opened the table of contents while holding the page.
The chapters on strange beasts and sacred mountains have all been updated. The densely packed names of strange beasts and sacred mountains made her dizzy, but the chapters on myths and the kingdom of God are still in a gray state.
Shi Jianxia was thinking about how to unlock these two chapters when a rabbit-like beast was playing with Tiandi Mountain next to it. It jumped on her back and then jumped away with another jump. Tiandi Mountain rushed over and knocked her off balance, almost hitting her chin on the ground.
The Evil Beast and Tiandishan paused at the same time, and then quickly fled from the "crime scene".
Just as Xia Jiangang had steady herself, a fiery red bird dashed straight into her arms. The Lu Shu that was chasing it slammed on the brakes, but still hit her calf with its head.
Veins bulged on her forehead, and after being knocked flat on the bed once again, she couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Stand still for me!"
The noisy suite suddenly became quiet. Xixi and the nine-tailed fox reflexively stood at attention and took a rest, tucking their furry front legs into their arms and arranging their tails neatly.
Five minutes later, all the mimics stared at the second-level insect crystals in their arms with greedy eyes.
朏朏 proudly raised its little head, and with a crunch, it crushed the insect crystal and swallowed it. As a shallow halo of light overflowed from its body, its soft and fluffy white fur seemed to become even more shiny and slippery.
The nine-tailed fox was no less impressive, crunching the insect crystals into pieces while proudly wagging its nine little tails, its beautiful glass eyes looking down upon the other mimics.
Gurgle gurgle.
The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard in the room one after another. The mimics turned their heads at the same time, staring at the "keeper" who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. The thought of "hunger" instantly overwhelmed her.
Shi Jianxia: "..."
She grabbed a mimic and stuffed it into the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and there was no turning back before she was swallowed by them.
Some of them kicked their legs, some ran away, and they refused to return to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Two hours later, an anonymous post appeared in the Mimicry Exchange Forum.
[I have more than one Mimic and can't afford to support them. What should I do? Waiting online, it's urgent! ! ! ]
[1L: As the title says, the Zerg Crystals I earn from completing Zerg Investigations recruitment missions are not enough to eat. Does anyone know of any missions that can earn Zerg Crystals faster?]
[6L: Wow! Is this host a twin mimic?]
[18L: People can’t or at least shouldn’t be so Versailles (idiot, get lost)]
[23L: You can try hunting Zerg in Zerg-occupied areas. The rewards are quite high, but it is quite dangerous. It is recommended to act as a team.]
[OP: @6L, not really, probably around 1,800]
[Original Poster: @23L, thank you! Thank you! But my combat level is too low to go.]
[50L (formerly 6L): Another one's gone crazy! Someone, come! Drag him away!]
