M City?
The chance to go wild has arrived!
As Great Eyes finished speaking, Han Sen's heart stirred. He pondered with a troubled expression, "Lord Great Eyes, it is my honor to serve the Association! It's just that…"
"Just what?"
Deep underground, Psykos's true body's mouth twitched subconsciously, and Great Eyes's single eye narrowed, its voice tinged with impatience.
"It's just that after this period of tempering and accumulation, this subordinate vaguely feels… that I seem to have touched the threshold of Dragon-level, and could break through at any time!"
The unspoken meaning was—
Wind of Cyclone is too busy to split himself, is he? What a coincidence, I'm also about to break through and it's inconvenient for me to go out.
Psykos: "…"
With her intelligence, how could she not understand Han Sen's roundabout hidden meaning?
What Dragon-level threshold, what breaking through at any time…
To put it bluntly, he was just trying to get more benefits in a roundabout way.
Psykos considered that if Han Sen could truly break through to Dragon-level so quickly and become a true top-tier combatant, it would undoubtedly be a great help for the Monster Association's future plans.
So, it wasn't impossible.
Thus, she controlled Great Eyes and said irritably, "What do you want? Speak!"
As if waiting for her words, Han Sen's answer blurted out, clear and precise: "I need more money!"
Psykos: "…"
In the secret room, the corner of the domineering older sister's forehead twitched almost imperceptibly.
—This guy… is his skin even thicker than his carapace?
"There's no problem with taking on the mission."
Han Sen naturally couldn't hear Psykos's thoughts. He changed his tone, his eyes filled with loyalty to the organization and a sense of responsibility for the mission, very sincerely.
"But to ensure the mission is foolproof, and to prevent this subordinate from touching the opportunity to break through to Dragon-level during the trip, yet not having enough resources to assist…"
"Lord Great Eyes, you see, can the Monster Cell for the mission period be given to me in advance?"
"And to increase the success rate of the breakthrough, isn't it… possible to give a bit more?"

Psykos: "…"
Such a blatant act of demanding caused Psykos to fall into a brief silence again.
This guy's thick skin and the speed of his strength growth simply refreshed her understanding.
However, on the other hand.
Although the deceased first-generation Bug God was an obedient and useful tool, its potential was exhausted, and Demon-level peak was basically its limit.
But Han Sen, this second-generation Bug God, has astonishing potential. His special constitution, which allows him to devour Monster Cells in large quantities without side effects, is an extremely rare case. He has great hope of replacing his predecessor and becoming an even sharper blade!
A stronger Dragon-level Monster!
Under such circumstances, Han Sen's almost greedy demand for Monster Cells, in Psykos's view, was a good thing.
With desire, it's easier to control.
A powerful subordinate without desires would instead make her wary.
—Hmph, quite an appetite. Then let me see what your limit truly is!
Quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Psykos quickly made a decision.
"Alright."
Great Eyes's Dio-like voice returned to its previous calm and sarcastic tone: "The mission time limit is one week, I'll give you ten days' worth, one thousand Monster Cells!"
"I think that should be enough for you to squander, right?"
A thousand!
A thousand Monster Cells, that's a full 100,000 Origin Points!
Han Sen's body trembled, his unbridled joy evident.
Indeed, the squeaky wheel gets the grease!
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Great Eyes, this subordinate guarantees to complete the mission!"
Seeing Han Sen show excitement for the first time, Great Eyes's single eye flashed with a hint of satisfaction and playfulness.
Having found Han Sen's weakness, Psykos's mood finally improved by a tiny bit.
However, Han Sen's next sentence made her realize.
You were happy too soon.
"Oh, right, my Lord," Han Sen added, as if suddenly remembering something, "The new recruit for this time also seems to need a Monster Cell to complete Monsterification, right? This…"
Psykos: "…"
The surrounding air seemed to distort due to this shameless request.
Psykos, hidden deep underground, felt her forehead throbbing wildly.
—This guy, he won't even let go of the one for the new recruit, and has to squeeze it out of me too?!
The main point is insatiable greed!
The bloodshot, massive single eye met Han Sen's eager, expectant gaze. Psykos suppressed the urge to use Psychokinesis to crush this inch-taking guy on the spot, gritting her teeth and saying, "…I'll give you eleven days' worth! Now, immediately…"
"Get out and execute the mission!"
Before her words even finished, a bulging, man-sized large cloth bag, enveloped by invisible azure Psychokinesis, flew through the air and slammed onto the ground in front of Han Sen with a "thud."
"Thank you for your generosity, my Lord! This subordinate will go prepare now and depart immediately!"
Three sentences, and Psykos obediently coughed up 110,000!
A gleam flashed in Han Sen's eyes. He deftly hoisted the heavy cloth bag onto his shoulder. The feel was solid, the weight astonishing!
Even through the pocket, he could deeply sense a bizarre, mind-distorting fluctuation—that was the residual will of Orochi within the deformed flesh.
He bowed respectfully, his posture as a good employee impeccable, then turned to leave.
Psykos watched his smug expression, as if he had taken advantage and was still acting innocent. The emotions in the single eye of her puppet body were complex and hard to decipher.
Damn it!
She really wanted to hit him, but couldn't find a suitable reason. This feeling…
It was so frustrating!
Just then, Psykos suddenly noticed that Han Sen stopped after only two steps and turned back, and her blood pressure immediately started to rise.
"…What else is it?"
(ꐦ ⇀ ‸ ↼)
"Lord Great Eyes," Han Sen looked at the boundless darkness beside the throne, from which terrifying fluctuations faintly emanated, "This subordinate heard that Monster King Orochi is on this very floor?"
Great Eyes's nominal identity was Orochi's strategist; it was perfectly reasonable for the secretary to work next to the leader.
"That's right," Great Eyes's single eyelid twitched almost imperceptibly, and its distorted voice sounded, "What, Bug God, do you wish to have an audience with His Majesty Orochi?"
Han Sen's dark faceplate showed no expression, but he nodded without hesitation, his gaze fervent: "Of course!"
"Which Monster in the Association wouldn't want to witness His Majesty Orochi's powerful and magnificent form?"
The exaggerated flattery, however, hit Psykos right in her sweet spot.
Monster King Orochi was the strongest Monster she had poured countless efforts into creating, and one of her most successful works.
Han Sen's longing and fervor in his tone made her overlook his previous annoying behavior, and her mood brightened again.
"Oh ho ho ho ho~~"
Great Eyes let out a long-lost sinister laugh, saying, "I can introduce you, but you've consumed too many Monster Cells, and this kind of power is very much to Lord Orochi's taste…"
At this point, Great Eyes's voice took on a meaningful hint of Banter: "The Lord hasn't enjoyed high-quality Demon-level food in a while. If you're treated as a nutritional supplement, I won't be able to help you, you know~~"
Han Sen: "…"
