Chapter 788 - The Sharkmen Imperial Guards
Chapter 788: The Sharkmen Imperial Guards
Janet was obviously very excited, it was as though he could not wait to “share” his clansmen with Su Yang. He said to Su Yang happily, “Master, my Imperial Guards are downstairs. I’ll bring you to them now.”
Su Yang nodded and followed Janet downstairs.
When Su Yang reached downstairs, he saw two men standing like statues.
They were both tall and well-built, seeming to be at least 1.9 meters tall. Like Janet, they had the face and pupils of Westerners. Plus, their skin was white like they were purebred.
Also, Janet might not have prepared clothes for them because they were only wearing pants and their upper bodies were completely bare at the time, revealing their well-developed muscles, eight packs, chest muscles. In fact, even though they were not flexing, they still had terrifying biceps and triceps.
Just one look was enough to tell that they were as macho as Schwarzenegger.
On the other hand, when they saw Janet and Su Yang coming down the stairs, they knelt down on one knee and shouted, “Your Highness!”
After shouting, they looked at Su Yang with hesitation and curiosity.
However, it was only for a moment before they bowed to Su Yang again. “Your Majesty!”
Su Yang was speechless when he heard this.
‘Hmm... I suppose there aren’t any problems with them addressing me as such. After all, “Your Majesty” is higher than “Your Highness”. So, there’s no problems there.’
At that thought, Su Yang nodded his head and was satisfied with the reactions of the two sharkmen.
Of course, judging from their expressions and behaviour, they did not have any loyalty towards Su Yang, the same as Zhao Licheng and the other little monsters born through other means.
However, it was obvious that before they arrived there, Janet had taught them a good lesson and made them recognize Su Yang, hence their behaviour at that moment.
Seeing Su Yang nod his head, Janet knew that he had gained Su Yang’s approval. A smile appeared on his cold face.
Su Yang took a glance at him. ‘Ever since he got together with Little Hus, he seems to have a wider variety of expressions now.
‘Could a person really change another?
‘When you fall in love with a cheerful person, will you really become lively and cheerful as well?
‘Likewise, falling in love with a gloomy person would also make the other gloomy too?
‘Hmm... I suppose it does make sense.’
At that thought, he could not help but think of Chu Xia.
‘Chu Xia seems to have become more and more of a worrywart after being with me...
‘Does this mean that I’m not doing well?’
After pondering for a while, Su Yang looked at Janet and said, “Introduce them.”
Janet said, “Yes, Master.”
Then, he said to the two guards, “Get up.”
As he spoke, Su Yang could feel the King’s aura coming from Janet.
After the two guards stood up, Janet introduced, “Master, the one on the left who is slightly bigger is called Shark One, and the one on the right is called Shark Two.”
‘Shark One?
‘Shark Two?’
Su Yang became speechless at the thought.
Then, he repeated the name and felt that Janet had actually taken after him. ‘She doesn’t know how to come up with names at all!
‘The little monsters under my command all have names like “Little Hus” “Pool” “Little Deeny”, etc. Plus, the best name I’ve heard is “Janet”, which was given by “Little Hus”...’
At that thought, Su Yang coughed and asked, “What abilities do they have?”
Janet raised his hand again and ordered the two sharkmen, “Show the Master your abilities!”
Shark One and Shark Two nodded. Then, their bodies began to expand visibly. In just a moment, they became two giants that were 2.3 meters tall and had large waists, seeming something like Marvel’s Green Giant, albeit with a normal colour.
Su Yang asked, “Their ability is to grow bigger?”
Janet nodded first, then shook her head.
Su Yang looked at the two sharkmen again. After they completed their transformation, they suddenly swelled up. With a “Splash”, they turned into a pool of seawater and fell to the ground, wetting the Italian wool carpet in the living room.
Seeing this, Su Yang became speechless.
‘Should I have them pay for this...
‘I recall this carpet not being washable...’
Just as Su Yang’s head was about to explode, the two pools of water condensed again and turned into two water giants.
Janet explained, “Master, this is their ability.
“Their power comes from the same source as mine, but it is weaker. They can change their size, or they can turn into water and control it.
“However, the difference between them and me is that there is a limit to their abilities. The range of their transformation is between 70% to 140%, and the water they turn into has to be the same volume as the form they’re in at the time.
“The water they can control cannot exceed 10 times their size. Of course, like me, we can only control “ownerless” water, so the water inside the body of living beings cannot be controlled.”
Su Yang nodded his head slightly. He had a rough idea about the abilities of the two sharkmen... ‘They’re mini Janets.’
As expected, Janet explained the source of their ability. “Their ability is mainly inherited from me. When I activated their intelligence and enlightened them into humans, the system gave me a hint.”
Su Yang opened the system and took a look. There were indeed such notifications in the log. It was obvious that Janet, who had obtained the “King’s” Mark, had inherited a small branch of the system.
After Su Yang had a rough understanding of the situation, Janet said, “Master, I intend to leave these two Imperial Guards with you so that they can protect you.”
Su Yang pondered for a moment and said, “Sure. I just so happen to be short handed here, so let’s keep them here.
“But...” Su Yang added, “I can protect myself. Have them follow my parents and Sanque instead. ”
Su Yang had told Janet a long time ago about the arrangement for there to be Imperial Guards for Su Yang’s parents. However, Janet did not know anything about the arrangement for Sanque.
Hence, he could not help but ask, “Sanque? What’s the matter with him?”
Su Yang brought Janet and the two sharkmen outside the castle, where the Little Monster Beans very considerately and brought a few stools. Su Yang and Janet sat down before the former explained, “You still remember Wei Lin, right?”
Wei Lin was a little monster that Su Yang had resurrected, who possessed what the system evaluated as [Advanced Stock Trading Ability] and was a very impressive investor. Later on, during the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s sniping battle, he became famous after that single battle and helped Su Yang cleanse the online education sector within the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. All in all, Wei Lin was a rare talent in Su Yang’s roster.
Janet nodded. “I remember.”
Su Yang replied, “His mother has a very troublesome illness, the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. In other words, it’s a human immune system disease. Hence, the reason why he’s working so hard is to earn money for his mother’s treatment.
“When I took him under my wing, I promised him that as long as he helped me with emptying out Xinli Education, I would treat his mother.”
At this point, Su Yang sighed. “In the beginning, I’ve already given him a sum of money to buy medicine for his mother to sustain her life. After he won the sniping battle with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, I got Sanque to personally check on his mother’s condition.
“That kind of disease is similar to being seriously injured or even worse. After all, it’s an immune system disease on a genetic scale.”
Su Yang rubbed his temples. “So, in order to treat his mother, Sanque almost had to sacrifice himself. Currently, he’s been recuperating with only his torso left.”
Janet became speechless when he heard this.
Su Yang then chuckled and said, “This also made me realize that we aren’t omnipotent. We might be able to conquer the world, but we might not be able to save a large-scale epidemic.
“I thought that with Sanque here, even cancer wouldn’t be a problem.
“However, now that I think about it, I really have no idea just how vast the world is.”
Janet didn’t know what to say.
Right at that moment, the bald, white-robed Sanque walked past the two of them and glanced at Su Yang.
Su Yang coughed and lowered his head guiltily.
Janet said, “Actually, you don’t have to feel guilty, Master. This is what little monsters like us should do. Putting aside the fact that we are all lives bestowed by you, just take Wei Lin as an example. Since he is a little monster enlightened by you and works for you, he’s a part of our family.
“Hence, the family member of our family is still our family member, so even if he asks Sanque for help, I’m pretty sure Sanque will help him.”
Su Yang recalled the daily interactions between the little monsters and felt that Janet was right.
Hence, he patted his leg with a smile, stood up, and said, “Actually, it’s nothing much. Sanque is in his [Sage Mode]. Although the injuries are a little painful for him, he can still recover without being affected too much.
“Before he left, he even left behind some roots, so the oral fluids can be produced as usual.
“Plus. I’m also planning to give him another point in the next two days to see if he can recover. He’s only at +3 right now, so he can still receive two more points.”
Janet nodded.
Then, the two of them talked about how Janet had been traveling around the world during this period of time and how he had gathered his people.
From Janet, Su Yang had learned about all sorts of strange things at the bottom of the sea, which he found interesting.
After the conversation, the relationship between the two seemed to have become more harmonious. They used to be like master and servant, but now, there was some sort of friendship budding.
After they were done chatting, Su Yang finally stopped “occupying” Janet under the constant eye rolls of Little Hus and “handed” him over to Little Hus.
Then, Su Yang introduced the two sharkmen to the little monsters at home and assigned them the task that he had just set.
With Janet’s “bloodline” and the glass phone’s teleportation, it was easy for them to protect Sanque and Su Yang’s parents.
After making the arrangements for the two sharkmen, Su Yang went to chat with Little Deeny and explained his worries during the meeting, about how the little monsters were too isolated from human society, which was not a good thing for the little monsters and humans. Most importantly, it was not a good thing for Su Yang.
After the two talked, they decided that the little monsters would go to the human world to experience life. At least, they could follow the changes in the world and understand human culture.
Those that had gone through [Advanced Life Evolution] and gained a human form would directly go out to experience life in human society. As for little monsters without a human form, Su Yang used either [Liquid Metal Avatar] and [Half-Monster Body Lotion] instead.
Amongst them, Little Deeny was sent out by Su Yang without any chance of escaping as well.
He felt like there was a mix of good and bad information on the internet. ‘Little Deeny has been surfing the Internet every day, but she has only come into contact with the negative side of human society.
‘Sometimes, many people would behave normally in the real world, but become hooligans when they’re on the net.’
At that thought, Su Yang also asked Little Deeny to use her doppelgangers to experience the beauty of the world.
And so... That day, the streets of Shanghai welcomed many people who looked like they came from the countryside, ranging from tall to short, and strangely dressed.
In fact, one of them was a young man with a height of 1.5 meters, a bowl cut, and the temperament of a dog.
Then, there was a shy and pretty girl in a green Hanfu dress.
Apart from that, there was a fatso with rabbit’s teeth, standing 2.3 meters tall and weighing 320 pounds.
And... A middle-aged man whose head was as bald as a light bulb, looking sleazy and gossipy as well. On top of that, he would always be seen reciting poetry...
All in all, it was an extremely strange combination...
After this group of people went on the streets, they caused a huge commotion. Many shopping malls and small shops in Shanghai were in chaos...
While these weird bunch were busy outside, Su Yang received a reply from Zhao Licheng.
‘The other party has agreed to cooperate and is willing to deal with Wang Jiang. However, the requirement is that you would have to ensure their safety and help him whenever necessary, Mr. Su.’
Seeing this, Su Yang did not have any doubts about this condition and agreed to it. He even got Zhao Licheng to give the other party an abundance of evidence against Wang Jiang.
Actually, Su Yang could provide more detailed evidence. However, since they were working together, Su Yang had to take a look at the other party’s strength and attitude.
At the same time, when Su Yang started to move, Wang Jiang also started to plot against Su Yang.
Just like what Zhao Licheng had said, the country was testing whether they could accept Su Yang, and whether Su Yang could act within the rules, rather than wanting the two of them to put down their grudge against each other completely.
Therefore, Wang Jiang’s moves were all normal.
Thus, the first to suffer was Juduoduo. who was ordered to undergo a change after a discussion with them had been conducted about how the company was selling fake products on their platform.
The second was Su Yang’s Findme app, which was the first software he had developed, and the one that he had high hopes for.
Initially, the software was operated in Shanghai. However, Su Yang poached the [In] company and got them to build a new company in Hangzhou to operate the Findme app.
Thanks to Su Yang’s multiple streams (singing, short videos, and the Angel Search Programme) and the new team, the Findme app had become the number one photo-sharing app in the country.
In fact, it even ranked among the top 10 social media apps in China. Its monthly activity rate exceeded 30 million users. This also led to the Work And Study app to successfully enter the first and second tier cities with a group of users who were competing against “59” and “Urgent” for offline jobs.
However, while everything was going smoothly, Wang Jiang started investigating the Findme app with the possibility that there was a problem with taxes. Even though the investigation was mostly fruitless, it had a certain impact on the operation of the Findme app.
Luckily, Su Yang’s base was in Shanghai and not Hangzhou. Therefore, only these two companies were affected.
However, Su Yang was not surprised by Wang Jiang’s methods at all. In fact, he did not really care.
After all, the moment both sides stood at the gambling table, they were competing based on their trump cards and confidence.
However, Su Yang did not think that there was anyone in this world who had their hands on more trump cards than he did.
‘It’s just like what Little Hus had said, at most, I could just go to Central Asia and develop. Sooner or later, I will be standing at the top of the world, so it’s just a matter of time.’
Therefore, he only watched Wang Jiang’s counterattack from the sidelines and was not bothered at all. In fact, he even called the heavily injured Sanque into the virtual space to give him an extra point...
