Chapter 26

Feng Yi had no idea that there were fans who had saved the photo of the snake spirit character he had played in his only drama on their phones. He didn't have much online presence now and thought that he had been long forgotten.

However, this statement wasn't entirely accurate. He still had some online presence, and it was a global one.

It's just that...

The one with the online presence was the "Snake Brother" from the Yueshan Xiaqinglong incident, which had nothing to do with him, Feng Yi!

He had no intention of entering the entertainment industry and didn't rely on online traffic for a living, so he didn't actively engage online.

After unlocking the super-sensitive olfactory skill, Feng Yi began his daily olfactory exploration tasks, mastering and learning how to use it. He had to control his olfactory organs to prevent them from analyzing every odor molecule, which would interfere with his brain's thinking.

However, this ability did give Feng Yi a sense of opening a new world, and this was just the beginning of his evolution. In the future, the world would reveal more unknown aspects to him.

It was quite interesting.

Of course, besides getting familiar with using his olfactory sense, Feng Yi didn't forget his previous plans.

Once his face was completely swollen and his nose showed no abnormal symptoms, Feng Yi began his plan to enhance his own resistance to toxins.

Sometimes he bit his thumb, sometimes his arm.

Every day, he would poison himself.

"I wonder if this will speed up my evolution a bit."

Uncle Ya's tea had no effect at all, not even for refreshing the mind. It was just for the taste. Feng Yi no longer bought tea from Uncle Ya, as Uncle Ya had said, drinking this tea was a waste for him.

Feng Yi didn't know if his evolution had sped up, but he no longer needed to spray mosquito repellent. Mosquitoes wouldn't bite him even if they were starving. When he returned from Xiaofeng Mountain, the mosquitoes weren't particularly active and would avoid him, but as the weather got hotter, the mosquitoes seemed to have grown tiger-like courage and became very aggressive.

Now, it was different. There wasn't a single mosquito within three steps of him!

One day, after Feng Yi went out to explore this "different world," he stopped by Wu Ji's shop when he returned to the neighborhood.

Wu Ji was quite surprised to see Feng Yi after a while.

After taking a look, Wu Ji asked Feng Yi, "Have you gained weight? Your face looks a bit fuller."

Feng Yi touched the area of his face where the venom glands were: "...Ah, yes, I've been eating more recently."

After the swelling on his face went down, the venom gland area had tightened a lot and wasn't very noticeable. If it weren't for someone familiar, they wouldn't have noticed.

Wu Ji was quite happy, "You used to say you wanted to enter the entertainment industry and act, and the camera would make you look fat, so you had to control your diet and exercise every day, which made you look a bit too thin for us ordinary people. Now this is good, you can live a more carefree life and eat whatever you want."

Feng Yi nodded, "My appetite has indeed increased a bit."

"You look much healthier now! Your whole demeanor is different! This week, let's meet up with Qian Feiyang and find a time to have hotpot! There's a new all-you-can-eat hotpot place that has good reviews, let's try it out." Wu Ji said, "Oh, right, I hired a pastry chef, and the tea cakes he made today taste pretty good. I'll pick a box for you."

So, as Feng Yi walked home, he had a box of freshly baked tea cakes in his hand.

Thinking about it, even though he had already eaten dinner, the tea cakes smelled so good that he decided to eat them all as a midnight snack.

The more he thought about it, the hungrier he got, so Feng Yi quickened his pace. As he was about to reach his building, someone suddenly rushed out and stopped him.

"Your side profile looked just like you! I didn't recognize you wrong!" the person said.

Feng Yi looked at the two people in front of him. One of them he recognized, Hu Yi from 5-2102, who had asked him to help catch rats before. The person next to Hu Yi looked similar and was probably his brother.

"Is there something?" Feng Yi asked.

"Well, there is something I need your help with..."

"I'm not a pest control company, I don't catch rats," Feng Yi interrupted, "I already told you that last time."

"Cough! It's just... we have no other choice..." Hu Yi rubbed his hands awkwardly, "I had to come to you, can we find a place to sit and talk?"

"No need, if there's something, just say it now. I already said, don't come to me for pest control," Feng Yi firmly refused.

Hu Yi looked at his brother, who gave him a troubled look.

Hu Yi sighed, "We've also tried everything else, that rat is really hard to catch..."

"You should go to a pest control company, they are professionals. You don't have to wait in line now, you can contact them online anytime. Go to them," Feng Yi tried to walk past them, intending to leave.

Hu Yi and his brother quickly followed.

Hu Yi's brother whispered, "We've tried, it didn't work. We've contacted two pest control companies, and they couldn't solve the problem! The boss is really upset and anxious, Hu Yi said only you can solve this!"

Feng Yi laughed at this, "I can solve it? Who gave you that confidence? There are so many pest control companies now. If two didn't work, keep looking, there are plenty of experts! During the rat infestation, pest control companies even live-streamed their work, and the edited videos got a lot of likes and shares. If they can't solve it, what can I do? Do you think I'm better than them?"

Feng Yi took a step, and the two followed.

"It's just... urgent! The top pest control companies have a three-day wait, but we can't wait! Really, the warehouse needs to be inspected tomorrow afternoon, but that rat... it's affecting the company's reputation!"

Hu Yi also said, "Right, right, time is tight. If we had the time, we would just seal the warehouse and let it starve to death."

Hu Yi's brother, worried that Feng Yi might misunderstand, explained, "Our company's warehouse is usually managed very strictly. It just slipped in during the loading this morning. We've had people guarding the warehouse all day to prevent it from touching the goods. We've tried everything to get rid of the rat, but we haven't solved the problem yet."

Hu Yi added, "Even if you can't catch it, we won't blame you! Just one, the price is negotiable! Please!"

He clasped his hands together and bowed.

Seeing this, Hu Yi's brother followed suit.

Feng Yi was annoyed by their persistence.

If two pest control companies couldn't handle it, it must be a complex issue, not as simple as Hu Yi and his brother made it sound. Feng Yi was just one person, and his abilities were limited.

Feng Yi knew his limits.

If a whole team couldn't handle it, why would he be able to? Because I'm handsome?

If they were really in a hurry, they should offer more money to the top pest control companies and negotiate. Would they still refuse?

Pest control companies are in business, and business people should be dealt with in a business manner. Why come to me? Am I easier to talk to?

Besides—

I've been working hard to evolve and enduring so much pain, not to catch rats!!!

Feng Yi looked at the two brothers and decided to show them what it means to ask for an exorbitant price!

"Ten thousand for one! No negotiation!"

"Deal!" the two said in unison.

Feng Yi: ???
