Chapter-14

Zhou Li got up from his bed. He felt that he had a good sleep.

"Master, Chunhua can't materialize in the outside world yet"

"Master can still hear Chunhua's voice"

"Why can't you materialize"

"The energy in the game is a bit denser than the outside world so Chunhua can maintain her form but only in the small form"

"It's fine if you can still talk"

"Now, to find out about that"

Zhou Li opened the closet and pulled down the stacks of files which were packed neatly.

"Chunhua, can you also scan these"

"Master, sorry but the energy has run out because of the DNA scan"

[Energy:0/50]

"How do you gain it back"

"Master can use an energy source such as electricity, lightning, the sun, etc"

"Of course, master can upgrade it so that it holds more energy or enhance it so that it would gain energy naturally faster"

"Though master can use master's computer to do these things, it will be faster if you use the system's"

"Though the energy use would be high it would be efficient"

"But even if master doesn't use it, master should fill it a bit with electricity because master can use it anywhere anytime"

"Chunhua, how much Cp do I have now, and how many would It take for an enhancement"

[Cp:135}

"How much did it take to get access to the game"

"It took 163 Cp and master had 258 before"

"How did it increase"

"When master killed the monsters in the game, it increased"

"Chunhua doesn't understand much either"

"Chunhua doesn't remember some things yet"

"Chunhua felt like she was waking up from a long sleep when Chunhua woke up because of master's condition"

"Well, it's good that we at least found a way to gain Cp"

"Then Chunhua, upgrade the energy storage"

"Upgrded"

[Energy:0/100]

"Chunhua, how do I charge the energy back with electricity"

"Master can just put master's ring near the electrical outlet and the ring will do the rest"

Zhou Li put the ring near the outlet and part of the ring transformed into a silvery liquid, moved away from the ring and went into the outlet. Then the liquid solidified and looked like a power bank charging its battery. Zhou Li looked at his ring and saw that it was a little thinner than before.

"Chunhua will tell master when the charge is complete"

"How long will it take by estimation"

"It will take around an hour and a half to charge fully but master can just use it when the energy reaches 10"

"The papers master is gonna do won't take too much energy points"

"Chunhua can make it go very fast but Chunhua has to remind master that the electricity bills are not on Chunhua"

"It's fine, just do it"

After the energy points reached 10, Zhou Li prepared thousands of files which needed to be scanned. He wanted to find a person whom his mother bought from. Though he wanted to just go to his parents and tell them that the one they bought from was a fraud, he wanted to do it with evidence first. The problem lay within the suppliers of one of his mother's companies. They suddenly canceled the ten-year contract on the third year without any warning whatsoever. The problem was going to be huge if left unsolved because it was a food industry company that sold desserts. The reason why his sister got a sweet tooth was also that after taking them to the dessert company, Zhou Lihua would often ask their mother to take her back there because she wanted more or would ask her to take some from the company and give it to her.

"Those were good memories"

He remembered the times when their mom would take each of the sibling's hands and take them to the garden.

"It's not time for reminiscing the past"

"It's time to change the future"

The main reason was that after the suppliers left, his mother contacted some individuals, some trustworthy who were suppliers of their other companies and some who were new to their company. The thing was that after taste tasting in the competition they would see that one of them would outshine the others. They would contract it immediately and do advertisements. His mother's dessert company was one of the top 3 dessert companies in the world so the word of the company had a lot of weight. But after the day the new cake came out, there were a lot of negative reactions rather than positive ones.

"There are worms in the cake"

"The cake melts even if it is put in the freezer"

"So much for one of the best companies in the world"

"We want a refund"

"My son's birthday is ruined because of your cake"

"...."

Zhou Li remembered the things that were said.

It was all just a plot set up by individuals whom Zhou Li didn't figure out in his past life. It wasn't that after the incident has passed Zhou Li couldn't find no clues but he had a guess that it would be one of those families he had in mind. But this one incident was only the start of others that would come so Zhou LI also had a premonition that it would definitely be more than one.

"Do I just need to put these in the inventory"

"Yes, master"

Then Zhou Li put the files into the inventory.

"What does master want to search for"

"List the names that are the contestants for the supplier position"

"Affirmative"

Zhou Li had a smirk as he looked at the file and had a fiery glint in his eyes.

"Also show me the records for the people in the management department"

"..."

After hours,

"Chunhua, can you make a paper with the things we discussed before on it"

"Just give me blank papers and it will all be done"

"Okay"

After putting the papers in his inventory, Zhou Li heard a knock on his door.

"Big brother, come quickly or the food will get cold"

"Okay, coming"

"It's nice to have an inventory in real life as well"

Zhou Li said as he didn't have to carry the files back to his mother's office and could just carry it through the inventory. He also put most of his things in there even if he wouldn't use it in a while.

At night around 10 o' clock, Zhou Li was inside his room. The lights were off and it was dark but the light from the moon peaked through the window to show a person who was clothed from head to toe except for his eyes in dark clothes. This person was Zhou Li.

"Well they would not catch me this time"

Zhou LI said as he disappeared from his room and appeared on the roof several houses away as he looked at the guards that were clothed just like him on the trees and in several places.

__ __ __

"I felt like someone just looked at me"

She was one of the secret guards and also the maid for both Zhou Li and Zhou Lihua. Her job was to protect them both from harm tasked by their mother

"Probably one of the stupid guys"

"Young mistress is also putting me to this task to watch young master around"

"Young master is really sus, where did he go that day, I want to know"

"If it's about a woman, I have permission from young mistress so don't blame me, young master"

"hehehe"

__ __ __

Zhou Li felt a shudder as he left the place he was at.

"Who is talking about me behind my back"

After jumping over roofs for a while, Zhou Li arrived at a shipyard. He looked at the people that were guarding the place holding flashlights. Then he moved carefully so that he would not be seen. But when he arrived at the top of the main building he was going in,

"Who's there"

The guard that was guarding the place pointed his flashlight at the top of the building but there was no one there.

"Hmm, must be my imagination"

Zhou Li was below the roof ridge holding his body with his legs. After he heard no movement, he moved up the roof again and tried to find a window he could get in. After a few seconds of searching, Zhou Li found the window and pulled something out from his inventory. It was a small metal ant. He put it on the window.

'Chunhua, are you sure that this is gonna work"

"It is gonna work master"

The metal ant was something he bought from the store using a bit of his Cp.

"Just use master's mental energy and qi to use it"

Zhou Li closed his eyes and concentrated and after he opened his eyes, he could feel a certain connection with the ant. He could control the ant and could see what it was seeing as if it was a memory. Zhou Li used the ant to open the lock and got inside the building. Zhou Li used the ant to open locks on one cabinet after another and put the files in the inventory using the system to scan and copy every file. After doing it, he had to use the ant to lock the cabinets again and after that he left the place.

As he arrived at a high building near the shipyard, he looked back at it and felt that something was wrong.
