Chapter 195: Chapter 159: Making Money, Going Abroad, Buying a Gun
In Siyu’s laboratory.
Ms. Zheng was a rather tough character. To confirm the effects of the Alchemy Ointnt, she actually cut her own hand and then applied the ointnt.
The effects of the Alchemy Ointnt were imdiate, completely upending Zheng Yachen’s understanding of dicine.
"What in the world is the principle behind this?" Zheng Yachen could no longer hold back the question she had been suppressing.
"I’d very much like to know myself," Fang Zhen said.
He had guessed that Zheng Yachen would run experints on it later, but he wasn’t worried.
He had looked into the secret formula for the Alchemy Ointnt. It contained several dicinal ingredients that simply didn’t exist on Earth; at least, Fang Zhen hadn’t been able to find any information on them.
He wanted to know the principle behind it, too.
If Zheng Yachen could figure it out, that would be a testant to her skill.
Despite her surprise, Zheng Yachen didn’t press the matter further.
However, Zheng Yachen readily bought a bottle of the Alchemy Ointnt. After precise asurent, it was found to contain 125.5 grams, valued at 502,000 yuan.
Zheng Yachen paid for the bottle of Alchemy Ointnt on the spot.
As soon as Fang Zhen received the money, his Spirit imdiately felt much stronger.
He had finally alleviated his pressing financial troubles.
"However much of this ointnt you have, I’ll buy it all, provided my finances allow." A gleam shone in Zheng Yachen’s eyes, as if she could see a brilliant future ahead.
...
The next day, Fang Zhen went to the Arican consulate in Xiahai for his visa interview.
He wasn’t too worried about being rejected.
When it ca to Arican visas, there were so unwritten rules.
High-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs had a much higher chance of approval.
Even for those looking to emigrate, it was difficult for ordinary people, but easy for entrepreneurs and the wealthy.
A country like Arica didn’t welco ordinary people who might take away jobs, so work visas were very difficult to obtain. However, they were more than happy to welco wealthy investors and entrepreneurs who could create new jobs.
As for the visas themselves, business visas were easier to get approved than personal tourist visas.
While waiting in line, Fang Zhen observed for a mont and discovered that the visa officers here definitely played favorites.
The young man in a plaid shirt ahead of him was clearly nervous. He stamred and rambled while answering questions. As a result, the visa officer, an older white man, looked thoroughly impatient and gave him a hard ti with his questions. It looked like a surefire rejection.
The person behind that young man was a beautiful woman. The visa officer’s deanor instantly changed. He beca pleasant and all smiles, practically flirting with her, his tone becoming incredibly gentle.
Fang Zhen saw this and scoffed.
’So much for absolute fairness. Aricans are only human, and visa officers are all the sa.’
But then he imdiately realized sothing. ’Wait, how can I understand the language so easily?’
’My English is just average.’
’Can my mystical language talent be used in the real world?’ Fang Zhen suddenly understood what was happening, and his eyes lit up.
Soon, it was Fang Zhen’s turn.
He walked up, projecting an air of confidence.
The visa officer seed to sense Fang Zhen’s confidence. He asked a few simple questions about the itinerary for his business trip, and Fang Zhen made sure to keep his answers brief and to the point.
The visa officer didn’t give him any trouble.
’Should be fine,’ Fang Zhen thought.
...
「Five days later.」
Houston, Texas, Arica.
According to the latest data, the population of Houston had surpassed 2.5 million, making it the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest city in the entire country.
Many people from Xia Country knew of Houston because of the NBA’s Houston Rockets, as both Yao Ming and Zhou Qi had once played for the team.
Fang Zhen walked alone out of the international arrivals gate at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
He rubbed the back of his neck as he walked.
After his visa was approved and he’d picked it up, he flew to Shenzhen. From there, he bought a business-class ticket to Los Angeles, where he caught a connecting flight to Houston.
Even in business class, the back-to-back flights and layovers, each lasting over thirteen or fourteen hours, combined with the jet lag, were exhausting.
The main reason for going through all this trouble was to buy a suitable gun.
’If I don’t buy a truly great gun, all this effort will have been for nothing.’
’My dream gun, here I co.’ Fang Zhen kneaded his stiff shoulders as he walked toward the exit.
