Watching Nick's pained expression and the occasional low groans escaping his lips, Ye Kai couldn't help but grimace.
"Crack!"
"Bang!"
While it hadn't seemed too alarming during the movie, hearing the sharp cracking of bones and the twang of what sounded like taut metal wires up close was truly distressing.
Though it lasted only a minute or two, seeing Nick drenched in cold sweat but no longer groaning in pain made Ye Kai realize that he was out of serious danger.
"Is he okay now?"
After Ye Kai's comforting words, Cassie Holmes had regained the smile that a girl should have. She poked Nick with her finger and spoke up.
"Don't worry, my dear. Nick's injuries are all healed."
Suddenly, a very fine needle appeared discreetly in Ye Kai's hand. With a gentle smile, he patted Nick's shoulder and said, "With our incredibly powerful Repairer, Lady Teresa, this kind of injury is really nothing to worry about."
But in reality, he was thinking, "God, is just a little bit of Nick's blood enough?"
"Yes, Lord God. If we can obtain it for experimentation, the project you requested will increase by 9.5961%."
"System prompt: The cultivation experiment for the Protagonist Team has reached 54.99%. There have been no adverse reactions from the experimental subject in the cultivation tank. Please rest assured, Lord God."
"Ugh!"
...Damn it!
Although he wasn't exactly a good person, using the protagonist as a test subject felt oddly unsettling.
Then Ye Kai's eyes brightened slightly; he knew he had come to the right place. This world had plenty of 'good things,' and if he could acquire them all, his strength would see a tremendous boost.
At that point, even those superpowered individuals capable of destroying cities or even the planet wouldn't be something to fear anymore.
For example, dimensions like X-Men, Iron Man, Star Wars, and Guardians of the Galaxy all contained incredibly powerful beings.
What if, just what if there really is a 'Marvel Universe' or an 'Anime World'? That would be quite the adventure.
Sister Cannon, Saber-chan, the smiling Greatsword Denisa—these are still manageable. But if he were to enter a world with a True God, like in Saint Seiya or something similar, then he would truly be at a loss!
In truth, Ye Kai felt uncertain. It would be one thing if he were to stumble into some technological dimension, but what if he really ended up in those bizarre worlds?
Ju-on Kayako, Freddy Krueger, Black Friday, The Grim Reaper Has Arrived...
Damn it!
Just thinking about these made Ye Kai break out in a cold sweat.
The so-called unresolvable curse of Kayako was no joke; anyone she glared at would meet their end!
And Freddy Krueger, known for his immortality, had the ability to pull you into your dreams at any moment!
Black Friday and The Grim Reaper Has Arrived were even more absurd. Who knew if he would choke to death just from drinking a sip of cold water after entering?
However, he couldn't always focus on just one aspect.
Who knows what the movie dimensions are really like? Even with the Divine Dimension Information Pheromone Collector capable of gathering some information, it still couldn't provide a complete picture of the divine functions!
With his current abilities, he simply couldn't gather all the information comprehensively.
Shaking off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Ye Kai took a deep breath. For now, the dimensions he had entered were relatively normal. Although there were some unreasonable aspects, at least he could still handle them.
"Wow, wow!"
Nick instinctively exclaimed as he felt his body reach an unprecedented level of comfort. It was like having undergone a full-body massage; the sensation was absolutely delightful.
"Gentlemen and ladies, if there's nothing else, I must take my leave. After all, staying here won't earn me any money! Oh, and remember that if you want me to heal you in the future, there will be a corresponding price. Don't forget that!"
Teresa, wearing nearly ten-centimeter high heels, gracefully stepped away with an elegant gait, her heels clicking as she prepared to leave.
Ye Kai had long anticipated this reaction, so he was not surprised. He glanced down at Cassie Holmes, who was playing with a necklace, and at Nick, who wore a wary expression. With a meaningful smile, he spoke without turning back, “Teresa, I wonder if two million dollars would be enough to hire you as my personal assistant?”
“What?”
“Two million dollars?”
“Wow, you’re really wealthy!”
Seeing the varied reactions from the three in front of him, Ye Kai smiled again and addressed Teresa, who had turned in surprise. “I’m offering you a salary. If your ‘work performance’ is outstanding, I think I could consider raising your annual salary.”
“Wow, sir, you’re really rich! But can you tell me how you know about me? And why do you want to help us?” Nick was not as easily swayed as Cassie Holmes. Although his gambling skills were lacking, his intelligence was not low.
Despite having heard Cassie Holmes' introduction, he remained skeptical.
Ye Kai ignored Nick’s skepticism and instead focused on Teresa’s changing expressions with interest. “So, what do you think about this offer… hmm, let’s make it three million. As long as you nod your head, I can pay that amount immediately.”
Cassie Holmes was already a bit dazed and instinctively grabbed Nick’s hand, lost in thought.
Nick also found it hard to understand what this man meant. With his keen perception, he could easily see the strength and presence emanating from Ye Kai.
It was an aura that belonged only to someone in a position of power.
Perhaps in this room, only one person retained a semblance of rationality and calmness—Liu Yi, one of the trio who had been subconsciously overlooked by everyone else.
His gaze held a hint of pity and an inexplicable smile that suddenly made Teresa feel anxious.
Three million dollars was an enormous sum.
For Teresa, it represented five to seven years of hard work without eating or drinking. And now, all she had to do was nod her head for that money to be hers instantly.
This left her feeling dazed while simultaneously stirring doubt within her.
No one would give away such a large sum of money for no reason; even relatives wouldn’t likely do so. Real life wasn’t as dramatic as in stories—she had seen too many instances where people fought bitterly over money!
"How about this? As long as you agree, I will give you three million dollars right away." Ye Kai's lips curled slightly. He could see Teresa wavering; perhaps he could really get himself a decent female housekeeper!
Just imagine having her train a group of soft and gentle girls for him, giving him a good massage, and indulging in some relaxation—how delightful that would be!
Anyone who has experienced Thai massages or spa treatments knows the kind of bliss I'm talking about. That feeling is just... you know what I mean.
He didn't even notice that others were looking at him with heated gazes, their thoughts straying in unintended directions.
Especially Cassie Holmes, who couldn't help but let out a low laugh before quickly covering her mouth.
Nick, on the other hand, was feeling quite frustrated. His current mood was far from good—actually, it was very bad.
This bad feeling didn't stem from him developing feelings for Lady Teresa, who had mingled in the superpower community for years. Instead, he sensed that almost everyone in the room had already made this man the center of their world.
Men, especially those who are part of the superpower community, surely enjoy being the center of attention!
But now, with this man named Ye Kai appearing, it seemed like everyone was irresistibly drawn to him—even Cassie Holmes was no exception.
Nick was thoroughly frustrated.
