Chapter 194 Zero
Fein looked at the surprise on Roger's face. 'This guy doesn't trust my words at all, huh...' He took out fifty bottles of advanced potions under the shocked gaze of Roger. 'How about now?' He smirked.
Roger, who was currently drinking the potion, almost spat it back in surprise. "Fuck!? Damn, you're a big shot." He stared at the twenty-five red potions and twenty-five degu recovery potions with a heated gaze.
Of course, he doesn't dare to steal them, he can only stare at them to satisfy his eyes. Even with his prosperous business, the value of the advanced potion could still affect him greatly.
'All this potion could already but half of the items in my shop.' Roger shifted his gaze away from the potions unwillingly.
Even if he stared at them for a whole day, he won't obtain anything, and it will only make him more envious.
Fein chuckled at Roger's silly behavior and says, "Don't stare at my potions like that..." He looked at Roger and his expression turned serious, "If you want potions, you can order through me, that way you can bypass the quota limit. I have a gut feeling that we might cooperate more in the future, so this is my token of friendship."
Roger's eyes brightened when Fein finally formally acknowledged their friendship. Befriending a potential S-rank is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Not to mention, Roger liked Fein's personality. Although he was a bit narcist and arrogant, he noticed that his arrogance wasn't the type of aloofness or looking down on people. Instead, it came from his personal strength. 'It's more like a pride,' He smiled at Fein, "Is this equivalent of giving me a backdoor?"
"You can say so..." Fein smirked. "No matter what, I'm the chief scientist that manages and oversees the production of advanced potions. In fact, the formula of advanced potion came to me."
"You're really a big shot," Roger sighed.
"No one in the organization has the right to intervene in my decision when it comes to potions. And they value my capability more than the potions."
Roger nodded. He knew that a person who has the capability to develop advanced potions could create other things that are equally impressive or even more. He really lucks out this time, and he managed to establish a friendship with a chief scientist of a behemoth organization and even a potential rank S degu user to suit! Any of these backgrounds could drop the jaws of anyone who knew.
'Not to mention, he also tamed a legendary beast.' Roger looked weirdly at Fein as a strange thought passed through his head. 'Is he perhaps the main character of this world?' Roger chuckled at his ridiculous thought.
"By the way, how should I contact you?" Roger took out a paper. "Should we send a letter to each other?"
Fein shook his head. "No, I don't want to use such a backward means."
"Backward means?" Roger raised his eyebrows. "Is there anything more advanced than that? Even the nobles literally send letters to each other."
"Hehe..." Fein took out a mobile phone in his storage ring and gave it to Roger. He also plans to use Roger to popularize mobile phones in advance. After all, Roger should have a lot of contacts with people of high status. With his contacts, the mobile would obtain a free marketing promotion, and as long as the nobles used the phone, the information about it would spread mouth to mouth. Of course, Fein would tightly control the distribution of phones first before trying to mass-produce them.
"What the fuck is this?" Roger took the phone in his hands and started to fiddle with it.
Fein, on the other hand, began to think about his long-term plans for the future. He had to establish a company first and a fixed and stable supply of materials. He had to use the channels of the QWERTY organization, for that matter.
'It seems I need to talk with that mysterious man again.' Fein already felt a headache just from thinking about the leader of their organization.
The leader of the QWERTY organization is an absolute S-rank. But he wasn't on the ranking list because the person preferred staying low key. The QWERTY organization itself operates in the shadow, it is a no-brainer that the leader would keep a low profile.
Fein had only met the leader of the QWERTY organization during their meeting four times. They called their leader 'Zero' he wore a purple mask with a zero symbol.
'His costume is too edgy.' Fein couldn't help but recall the black and gold costume their leader had.
But even then, this leader of his had managed to pique his curiosity. Just with close proximity to that person, he had already felt pressure. It was the pressure coming from the massive difference in life level! Fein even doubts that their leader might not be an S-rank but SS-rank. Why did he think so?... Because his probing ability failed when he used it on him!
Fein took a deep breath as he remembered the 'Zero' and looked at him with piercing eyes as if he could see through the very soul of the person. He slapped his face to calm himself down as he felt a shiver in his spine. Even with his current strength, he knew that he didn't have a chance when they fight.
Of course, Fein doesn't want to provoke such a powerful person. Not to mention, they are allies. And 'Zero' valued his capabilities as a scientist so much that he was the one who promoted him to the chief scientist position. There was a lot of opposition at that time, but 'Zero' with his iron hands, silenced them.
Fein really wants to see the true face of 'Zero' but he doesn't have enough strength to do so. His instincts kept warning him every time this thought pops up. You have to know that instincts are also a kind of talent. And his talent in everything is S-rank! So he decided to trust his guts and mind his own business.
'Well, it's not bad to have a reliable leader,' Fein mused inwardly.
"Can I really have this?"
Fein's thought process was interrupted as he heard Roger's shaky voice near him.
