Chapter 2

"Abnormal ability cultivation system activated. First plane crossing, Corpse Brother. Time in the plane is infinite until the mission is completed. Mission objective: Obtain the reward, cultivation technique. Second crossing will occur one month after returning from the first crossing! Mission complete!"

Time passed, and before he knew it, a long time had gone by.

"Damn, this is ridiculous, it's almost been twelve hours." Bai Xiaofei got up. He moved his gaze from the clock on the computer to the balance on the screen, and was instantly shocked: "Damn, why did I buy two bottles? This stuff isn't candy, why do I need so much?"

"What the hell is going on?" Zheng Xiaotian slowly woke up. In that moment, he blinked at Bai Xiaofei, finding him somewhat familiar. Yes, he remembered who the other person looked like. He really looked like a cartoon character, just like someone from an anime.

Zheng Xiaotian shook his head.

"Are you the delivery guy for the medicine?" Bai Xiaofei turned around, looked down at Zheng Xiaotian, and asked.

"Delivery guy?" Zheng Xiaotian looked at Bai Xiaofei suspiciously and asked, "Are you a kidnapper? Why am I here?"

"You're talking nonsense." Bai Xiaofei glanced at his watch and said, "No time, it's almost time, I need to go to the rooftop."

Zheng Xiaotian suddenly remembered a phrase from before he passed out: Abnormal ability cultivation plan activated...

Zheng Xiaotian shivered. He moved to the window and pulled the curtains open. The air was filled with the smell of blood. On the ground, faint bloodstains could be seen. Corpse Brother, Bai Xiaofei?

"Brother!" Zheng Xiaotian looked at the figure by the door.

"Hmm?" Bai Xiaofei stopped, turned, and looked at Zheng Xiaotian.

"Is this H City?" Zheng Xiaotian asked.

"Yep!" Bai Xiaofei nodded.

"Full of Corpse Brothers?" Zheng Xiaotian asked again.

"Yep, yep!" Bai Xiaofei continued to nod.

"Did you buy two bottles of medicine?" Zheng Xiaotian asked with a smile.

"Yep!" Bai Xiaofei nodded, clearly annoyed.

"In this world, even if someone became Iron Man, they might not be able to break through. I think this way: you bought two bottles, but can you use two? How about giving me one, and we can improve together and break out together. What do you think?" Zheng Xiaotian asked.

Bai Xiaofei stroked his chin and said, "That makes sense, okay!"

Zheng Xiaotian thought to himself, dreaming, right? How could someone as smart as Bai Xiaofei be so easily deceived?

The building was relatively quiet, and Zheng Xiaotian and Bai Xiaofei smoothly made it to the rooftop. At that moment, it was raining in H City, as if the heavens were crying over the disaster.

Whoosh...

A helicopter arrived.

"The Taobao seller is really good, right on time!" Zheng Xiaotian looked at the helicopter and sighed.

"That's true. If he scammed me out of 140,000 and didn't deliver, I'd send a virus to take him down while the internet is still up. I have a USB drive with advanced computer viruses on it." Bai Xiaofei raised his hands and waved at the helicopter.

"Speaking of which, after taking this medicine, will it be like having a cheat code? I'm really looking forward to it!" Zheng Xiaotian looked at the parachute slowly descending from the sky and muttered.

"Alright, we got the stuff, let's go back quickly, our clothes are all wet." Bai Xiaofei called out to Zheng Xiaotian to leave.

Back at Bai Xiaofei's place.

Zheng Xiaotian couldn't wait to open the package. He had this habit of loving to open things. Whatever came into his hands, whether it belonged to him or not, he had to open it and take a look.

A wooden box, containing four bottles of medicine and a user manual.

Zheng Xiaotian picked up the manual and started reading.

"Damn, it says to stick the needle directly into the heart? For heaven's sake, this is a syringe, not a silver needle!" Zheng Xiaotian looked at the manual and was speechless.

Moreover, that wasn't the main point. Zheng Xiaotian continued, "Two bottles of stimulants, two bottles of antidote. If injected, if you can't last five minutes, it's a waste of 140,000. If you pass out from the pain after fifty minutes, you'll become a human bomb without even realizing it, and die painlessly. But who the hell wants to die?"

"How about we do it one by one? At 49 minutes and 50 seconds, the other person injects the antidote to maximize the drug's effect? Otherwise, it feels like we're losing money, this is all my savings." Bai Xiaofei said.

"That's not good either." Zheng Xiaotian shook his head and said, "In a place like this, wasting fifty minutes could bring danger. If we waste two fifty-minute periods and the danger still hasn't come, that would be an incredible stroke of luck. We simply don't have time to waste."

"Then, how about we do it at the same time? Each of us injects the other?" Bai Xiaofei asked tentatively.

"Would you dare to do it?" Zheng Xiaotian looked at Bai Xiaofei.

Bai Xiaofei swallowed and said, "No."

"So, I'll hold the syringe and inject it into your chest, and you'll hold the syringe and inject it into my chest, and we'll inject the medicine into each other's hearts at the same time." Zheng Xiaotian said.

"Is that okay? We're stabbing each other like this..." Bai Xiaofei said.

Zheng Xiaotian wanted to say, "Are you kidding me? This is really ambiguous."

Zheng Xiaotian's suggestion was to place the phone to the side and start the timer. When the timer reaches fifty minutes, they would inject the antidote. The main idea was that when inserting the painkiller, it would be so painful that they wouldn't have time to check the phone. Even if they did, they wouldn't know how many seconds had passed. So, they would leave a ten-second buffer, making it safe to reach fifty minutes.

"Are you ready?" Zheng Xiaotian looked at Bai Xiaofei in front of the mirror.

Both of them had taken off their clothes.

"Yep!" Bai Xiaofei nodded.

Both of them tightly held the syringes, aiming at each other's hearts.

Zheng Xiaotian set the phone to start the timer. Then, he placed the phone to the side and said, "Five seconds have passed, we can start now. The total injection time should be more than five seconds."

Just as Zheng Xiaotian finished speaking, a syringe pierced his chest, and pain flooded his brain. He stared at Bai Xiaofei with wide eyes.

"You said to start!" Bai Xiaofei said, a bit委屈 (indignant).

"Go to hell!" Zheng Xiaotian plunged the needle into Bai Xiaofei's heart.

The liquid slowly flowed into their hearts, and both of their faces contorted in pain.
