Chapter 13: The Huge Temptation: Request for Recommendation _1

This scene was too out of the ordinary; as a normal university student before rebirth, how could Jia Yan possibly accept such a situation?

In his opinion, the easiest explanation was that they were shooting a movie.

But where was the camera? He couldn't see it anywhere!

Could it be, everything happening in front of him was real...

"What is this?" The addict in the lower berth cautiously eyed the potion bottle that the Northeast Wild Tiger tossed over.

"Senior Addict, this is what you've wanted! Rest assured, I can guarantee with my life that it hasn't been tampered with," the Northeast Wild Tiger said with a beaming smile.

"What do you mean!" As the addict listened, his gaunt face showed no signs of joy, instead, he became even more wary.

"No meaning. Just that even if we fail to strike a deal today, it doesn't matter. These antimicrobial peptides are a gift from me to you," the Northeast Wild Tiger said charmingly.

"You ..." The addict tried to say something, but his eyes were drawn to the potion bottle at the side of the bed, swallowing twice.

In the end, he didn't utter any harsh words or mockeries. Instead, he gently picked up the bottle and held it up against the sunlight.

Jia Yan quietly peeked out, observing their so-called 'antimicrobial peptides'.

The potion bottle was transparent, and the liquid inside was purplish-red.

Under the sunlight, the purplish-red color reflected onto the floor, forming a slightly purplish reflection. It looked both fantastical and full of mystery!

There was a health product trademark and packaging printed on the bottle, but everyone knew that this packaging was merely a disguise, what was inside was definitely not a health product.

"Northeast Wild Tiger... can I trust you?" After observing for a while, the addict slowly clutched the potion bottle in his hand, then he lowered his gaze, looking at the Northeast Wild Tiger sitting opposite him with a deep and gloomy stare.

"Senior Addict, all I can say is, I have admired you for a long time. Whether it's your legendary battle when fighting alone against the four top assassins in America, or your bravery when assassinating the leader of the African pirates, I am well aware of all your deeds. Right now, seeing you reduced to such a state, it breaks my heart. As a junior, I just want to help you! Senior, to believe or not… it's entirely up to you!"

The words of the Northeast Wild Tiger sounded genuine and flawless.

The addict was not swayed by his words. He simply stared calmly into the eyes of the Northeast Wild Tiger. As a person who walked on the edge of danger and killing, he had his own way to judge people.

A moment of silence followed in the soft sleeper cabin.

After looking for a while, the addict let out a derisive chuckle.

"You...

Your move to feign weakness is truly naive! But what if this potion is fake? After all, I am a man on my death bed, let's trust you for once!"

After saying that, the addict immediately opened the lid of the potion bottle.

"Wow, what is this smell?! It smells so good! It's even more attractive than the smell of blood! What the hell are these antimicrobial peptides!"

Jia Yan, hidden in the crack of the bed, got excited right away. Under this aroma, he could hardly resist leaping forward to have a taste of it himself!

However, the addict didn't give him the chance.

With a 'glug-glug', the addict threw his head back and swallowed more than half of the potion in one gulp.

"Hmm?!..." Upon seeing that only a bit of potion was left, the addict's face suddenly changed!

You're tricking me?"

He held his chest in a display of pain and flung his arm about, sending all the food that was being displayed on the table crashing onto the floor!

The bowls, the butterfly, all fell onto the floor.

The potion bottle containing the last drop of potion was also thrown onto the floor, and it rolled together with the rubbish!

"How is it possible? Senior, this is definitely not fake!" the Northeast Wild Tiger's face also changed quickly.

His changed expression didn't feel pretend, and immediately sprang up from his bunk, rushing over to the addict in concern.

Unexpectedly, just as he approached the thin man, the 'addict' broke into a slight smile.

The Northeast Wild Tiger was startled. The addict in front of him looked as if nothing happened and had returned to his previous state.

There was no sign of poison at all!

"I believe you now…"

Like a magic trick, the addict reached into his collar and pulled out a water pouch. The light purple liquid inside the pouch was apparently the potion that he had supposedly 'consumed' earlier!

"This... senior, you simply are an accomplished individual, I admire you! "The Northeast Wild Tiger was taken aback but quickly realized that the addict had been putting on an act in front of him!

If that bottle of potion did indeed contain something harmful, regardless of whether it was slow-acting or fast-acting poison, or maybe a virus, it would have shown in his reactions immediately.

While most might have difficulty catching these indications in a swift moment, for someone like the addict, that single moment would have been enough to reveal everything.

However, he was genuinely shocked and concerned, which won the addict's trust!

"This addict is truly formidable, I was watching him the whole time and I barely managed to make sense of what was going on!"

Jia Yan's compound eyes stared blankly through the crack. When the Addicted drank the potion earlier, he had purposely tilted it at an angle to give the Northeast Wild Tiger the illusion that he was drinking the potion.

However, in Jia Yan's line of sight, still not knowing until the Addicted took out a water bag that he was just pretending to drink.

"Kid, tell me all the terms you can offer me. I'm getting on in years and would like to enjoy a life of leisure for a few years. Let's see if you can convince me!" The Addicted played with the water bag, not in a hurry to drink the potion contained within.

"Uh… Yes, senior!" The Northeast Wild Tiger hurriedly replied.

A joyful smile spread across his face. He glanced at the pile of trash on the floor and the nearly empty potion bottle, saying, "Please wait, I will have someone clean up this trash."

As a big shot, there was no need for him to clean up the trash himself.

"Cleaning up the trash?" Within the chink of the bed, Jia Yan was taken aback!

In his world view, he could see a lot of things, which included the carbon dioxide exhaled by humans, various scents, and heat-sensing abilities similar to infrared radiation.

Therefore, the world in Jia Yan's eyes was entirely different from that of humans.

Over time, however, he had gotten used to it.

The reason he was startled now was that the 'potion' from the opened bottle, although mostly contained in the water bag held by the Addicted, there was still a small amount left in that discarded 'trash' potion bottle…

This bit of potion was still emitting a deadly attractive force that Jia Yan could 'see'!

Perhaps to humans, this was a negligible amount of potion, not even enough to fit in a tooth gap. But for a mosquito, it was more than enough to fill a belly!

"What on earth is this potion? Why has it been so irresistible to me from the moment it was opened till now?!"

"Or rather… could I also take a sip?!"

During Jia Yan's struggle, the Northeast Wild Tiger had already called for one of his men from next door.

The man scampered into the room, picked up a broom and dustpan borrowed from the train attendant, and first bowed to the Northeast Wild Tiger, then to the Addicted.

"If humans can drink it, it means it is not highly toxic! And since I find this potion so attractive, there must be something special about it…"

Jia Yan was torn.

This was definitely no ordinary potion. Just looking at the situation now, one seemed to be an assassin, and the other was somewhat influential. Both of them had met and transacted on the train just for this bottle of potion.

It meant that this potion was definitely not to be underestimated!

What on earth were antimicrobial peptides? And what were the effects of this potion, which wasn't an ordinary antimicrobial peptide according to the Addicted?

There was a possibility that this potion was the 'new drug that still held many unsolvable problems in medicine,' as mentioned by the Addicted.

It was too tempting. It felt as if it could have a tremendous effect on him. The appeal of it even exceeded that of blood!

Jia Yan felt that this was a massive opportunity, one that could potentially change his future as a mosquito!

"Let's gamble!! If something feels wrong, I can always vomit it out!"

Jia Yan saw the man sweep everything into the dustpan, bow to the two men, and was about to leave the sleeper cabin.

A determined look surfaced within his heart!

He decided to trust his instinctive attraction this time.

To take a risk!

The male mosquito spread his wings and, without alarming anyone, followed the man out of the sleeper cabin door...

Click.

A slight sound of a closing door.

The man seemed to be sweating on his forehead, as he muttered to himself: "The Addicted is truly extraordinary. His gaze alone nearly scared the piss out of me…"

"Hey!"

Just as the man was about to take the dustpan to the train's garbage bin, another sleeper cabin door opened.

A man with glasses, who looked like a student, emerged.

"When you throw away that bottle later, remember to tighten the cap. Otherwise, it might attract insects and cause unnecessary trouble." He pointed at the potion bottle that still had residue.

"Got it, got it. So if a bug consumes this potion, it might grow bigger, right? I heard that this has happened quite a few times at the factory. I will tighten the cap before throwing it away." The man absentmindedly nodded in response.
