Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 551: Chapter 551 Beauty (Eight)_1 Chapter 551: Chapter 551 Beauty (Eight)_1 After the Night Watchman, Suzune left, everything returned to a quiet state.

In the vast room, the only sound that remained was that of Kagetsu Kana chewing and swallowing.

The flavor was nothing special, but the unique source of the ingredients allowed a previously unknown experience to permeate her heart.

At the same time, although it was odd that Fu Qian didn’t eat, Kagetsu Kana clearly didn’t dare to ask.

Even though Mr. Crawford had magnanimously not pursued the trouble she had caused, he clearly was a person with unpredictable moods.

Faced with this Schrödinger’s gentlemanliness, all she could do was accept.

Fortunately, she was very good at accepting.

…

“The matter with the Miracle Elixir, when did it start?”

Not long after, the two of them, dressed precisely, left the estate.

And as the driver, Fu Qian casually asked.

“Start? That depends on how you define it,”

Kagetsu Kana, who had just enjoyed a meal, appeared to be in excellent spirits.

Leaning lazily against the car window, the light streaming in painted her lips as if they were about to drip blood.

“If we start from when I submitted my application, it’s been almost ten months.”

“During the initial period, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at all at night, but their review was just too slow.”

“It was only when I was on the verge of despair that I received the notice for an interview.”

In her hazy eyes, Kagetsu Kana reminisced about the past.

“It turned out that it only took me three minutes to conquer them, and that was a week ago.”

As she spoke, she looked at Fu Qian through the rearview mirror, a look of satisfaction with her own allure on her face.

“I am different; I’ve always been able to feel it.”

From her statement, it seemed that even the drug test applicants had to submit their applications themselves—a clever move by the Yasui Group.

Moreover, judging from Kagetsu Kana’s reaction, merely obtaining the eligibility for the test seemed like a significant honor.

Fu Qian nodded slightly.

“It’s an inspiring story, but it seems that the Miracle hasn’t happened,” he said.

…

With that remark, Kagetsu Kana’s intoxicated state was successfully interrupted.

“Since it’s called a Miracle, it’s always going to be rare…”

After a long while, she half answered, half comforted herself.

It was clear that the absence of the Miracle after taking the elixir was a heavy blow to her.

“Is it? How rare?”

Fu Qian didn’t drop the subject and continued to ask.

“…From previous situations, the chance of a Miracle occurring is about the same as winning the lottery, and that includes negative Miracles too,” she said.

“But there have indeed been people who have won the lottery?”

Fu Qian nodded.

“Of course, more than one case,” Kagetsu Kana affirmed, her tone filled with longing.

“Just with a single elixir, one can have Transcendent powers appear within a person—it’s amazing, isn’t it?”

“In fact, I can feel anyone’s desire for such a Miracle.”

“It’s even likely that your bodyguard, while protecting you, has been privately submitting applications for the test, you know?”

The lady said this with a light laugh covered by her hand.

“After all, the cost of the test isn’t exorbitant; most people can afford it.”

So not only do I have to submit an application for screening, but I also have to bear the costs myself?

With the previous groundwork laid, Fu Qian wasn’t too surprised by this, as he had already thought of a possible reason.

“Let me think, the reason for bearing the costs… is it because of the Night Watchmen?”

“Of course, it seems Mr. Darcy really doesn’t pay much attention to these things!”

Kagetsu Kana’s words were tinged with undisguised astonishment.

“From the time Yasui Group proposed the Miracle Elixir program to its actual implementation, a considerable amount of time was spent in negotiation, after all, in theory, the Night Watchmen strictly forbid using ordinary people for testing within the Transcendent category.”

“Fortunately, after a lengthy struggle, they finally reluctantly approved this model driven by ordinary people.”

“Anyone can submit an application, and then the Yasui Group will provide public assistance within its capabilities.”

“I think it’s quite reasonable, after all, earning rewards through adventure is a human right,”

Kagetsu Kana said matter-of-factly.

“No one dares to claim they don’t crave Transcendent powers, and it’s better to have a well-organized institution that can mobilize vast resources in charge, than many pointless attempts…”

…

As the exchange unfolded, both parties reached the legendary Yasui Tower ahead of the agreed time.

And it was evident that despite verbally acknowledging the odds were akin to winning a lottery, the sliver of hope deep within Miss Kisaragi’s heart hadn’t been extinguished.

This could be seen from the sudden nervousness of her expression.

Of course, the same expression was present on more than one person there.

Even though it was nearly ten o’clock at night, there were still many men and women waiting for the test at the same place.

Most of them were young, with some being accompanied.

And the way these people were sizing each other up was quite interesting to behold.

Considering he didn’t bring the Witch’s mask, Fu Qian tried to constrain his presence as much as possible.

Thankfully, the benefit of playing a deviant was not having to overly suppress one’s aura.

Fu Qian attempted to observe his surroundings with the gaze of one sizing up food, noting that if he were truly Darcy, this place would undoubtedly be an excellent marketplace.

It was also clear that someone who could only afford the service of a death mark was far from being considered a VIP customer by the Yasui Group.

Because even after Kagetsu Kana was verified and entered the testing area, there was no scene of customer managers descending to greet her.

And less than ten minutes later, Kagetsu Kana walked out, hardly able to hide her disappointment.

“It doesn’t seem very miraculous.”

Greeting her was Fu Qian’s piercingly incisive comment.

“The observation period isn’t over yet, anything is possible.”

Kagetsu Kana forced a smile, but it was another person who escorted her out that explained.

“Mr. Darcy, is it? I am Zetian, the person in charge of Miss Kisaragi’s test.”

The newcomer introduced himself while extending a hand to Fu Qian.

“I won’t make a mistake; Miss Kisaragi definitely possesses an extraordinary talent.”

The project manager spoke confidently, seeming to hold Kagetsu Kana in high regard.

“Actually… Mr. Darcy is the same.”

The next moment, he shifted the topic to Fu Qian.

“Mr. Darcy also gives off an extraordinary vibe. Would you be interested in taking a test to see if there’s a suitable elixir to help you forge a Miracle?”

“No need.”

The man had hardly finished speaking when Fu Qian almost instantly refused.

“I am quite satisfied with my current state.”

It was clear that Zetian’s true intention lay in the latter part of his statement, as he had come specifically for Fu Qian.

However, even so, Fu Qian did not believe he had been exposed because, although the other party was obviously a Transcendent, the gap between them was too vast for the man to have the ability to discern Fu Qian’s identity.

So, was it the identity of Darcy that had attracted attention?
