The God Virus

Chapter 390: Sharks

’First, I need to buy some essential stuff. However, since many of those materials naturally should not exist on this planet, I need to find some substitutes for them.’ Deciding on her next course of action, immediately, her eyes fell on her phone once again as she exhibited a rather odd yet happy grin. ’Thankfully, due to the existence of this thing called the internet... that’s going to be a lot easier... so convenient!’

’What a wonderful world this is! It’s like a treasure box that’s been never opened before. Not only that, accessing the internet is like I’ve been given the key for opening it too.’ As her grin turned even broader, picking up her brand new Virus phone, she began searching for various materials and their possible substitutes.

...

Nearly seventeen hours later, Hu Yuexin was holding a complete list of materials. A list which made her happier the more she looked at it.

’It’s finally done! But I’m exhausted. I’ll rest first before going out to purchase those stuff.’ Just as she was about to put away the list and sleep. Her phone started ringing.

Dring~ Dring~ Dring~

In fact, when she was buying the phone, she was asked if she wanted to have the same number as before and to that, she had merely responded with ’yes’. Therefore, it wasn’t odd that her phone was ringing at the moment.

"Who is this?"

"Hello, yes. I’m calling from the hospital’s finance department. I really apologize for calling like this but the accumulated amount of money you owe to the hospital needs to be paid or the hospital won’t be able to take care of your son anymore and will be required to discharge him. The least we ask for is for you to pay some percentage of it." A feminine voice was heard from the other side of the line.

Feeling annoyed, a cold glint flashed through Hu Yuexin’s eyes in return as she replied, "I already told that rude woman who previously stopped me at the hospital that I’m going to be paying in two days! If I say two days, then it’s going to be within those two days, okay? So stop being a nuisance already. Goodbye!"

"But, you said that before and-"

Not bothering to listen any further, hanging up the line, she sank into a deep slumber.

...

Waking up the following day, the first thing Hu Yuexin noticed was the fact that she was now totally broke as she had spent the entire fortune of the previous Hu Yuexin on buying her new phone.

’Hmm, I came across a term called ’Loan Shark’ yesterday. That should be a nice temporary solution to my current issue of money.’ Having concluded this, picking her cellphone again, she started googling the address of places that might be the possible dens of so-called loan sharks.

Once again during her search, Hu Yuexin couldn’t help but be grateful for the convenience of this useful piece of technology called phone and internet.

One hour later, she was standing in front of the door of a shady office as she tapped it.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Soon, the door was opened before she was politely escorted inside.

"Welcome, miss. I wonder what brings such beauty to our humble presence?" Voiced the man sitting behind his desk while grinning in what one could only call terrifying.

Seeing the many hoodlums gathered in the room and examining the various tattoos covering all over their faces and bodies, Hu Yuexin determined, ’It seems I came to the right place.’

"Why do you come to a loan shark? To get a loan, of course." She answered in a level-headed manner.

"Oh." Listening to her, the eyes of the person who was most likely the leader within the room started to shimmer as his smile seemed to grow even more horrifying and evil as he said, "So this beauty is a customer! And how much would our dear miss require?"

"500,000 US Dollars." Hu Yuexin didn’t hesitate to respond.

However, noticing the astronomical figure, the eyes of the boss seemed to have gone wide-open as he became thunderstruck at once. He hadn’t expected this fair lady to request such an exorbitant figure in one go.

"Miss, can I ask first, what’s your job?" Still, being gangsterly professional, he decided not to jump on any conclusions as he inquired calmly.

"My job? Hmm, you can say I’m unemployed at the moment. But I’ll probably be a Guardian soon." Already having some ideas about how these places functioned, without any delay whatsoever, Hu Yuexin responded.

And as expected, the mob boss’s eyes seemed to be instantly set aflame as he, at last, felt like he understood the whole picture. "Oh! So the beautiful lady is going to be a Guardian and needs money in order to pay for the Abnormal Association’s examination fees and expenses."

After that, not dilly-dallying more than necessary, in a straightforward manner, he added, "But before we sign the contract and I send you the money, I need you to prove that you are worth our investment." Following that, he seemed to have signaled four of his lackeys within the room to attack.

Indeed, very soon, the four thugs were already charging toward her.

"Hmph." And indeed, letting out a ridiculing harrumph full of distinct traces of mock and contempt, Hu Yuexin dodged each of the incoming attacks brilliantly before sending extremely accurate punches to the various sensitive yet fatal spots all over those hoodlums’ muscly figures.

’Sigh, this body is too weak right now. I’m forced to deal the most damage and immobilize them with the least amount of force, which ironically happens to be every last drop of power this body can currently muster.’

Notwithstanding, afterward, the mob boss was faced with the scene of four fallen bodies of his men. Although he was somewhat amazed, considering how mad the world had gone already with the appearance of both Guardians and Rifts, his amazement couldn’t be considered much.
