Chapter 441: How Could You Possibly Have Found My Hotel?
‘It worked.
‘But, what ability has it obtained?’
Su Yang turned on the system. Instantly, a tag appeared on Sanque’s body, [Ginseng+3].
Su Yang clicked on it and the complete introduction for Sanque appeared.
[Ginseng +3: Life Evolution Complete, Intermediate Intellect, obtained 1 extreme simple special ability, 2 special abilities and 1 bronze ability.]
Su Yang had a deep understanding of Sanque’s abilities.
‘The [Extreme Simple] special power could be described as “extremely simple”, but it’s Sanque’s core ability, the ability to cure illnesses with its body.
‘As for the 2 special abilities, 1 is [8 Arms Mode] and the other is [Immortal Mode].
‘The moment these two modes are activated, Sanque’s will instantly transform from a healer to an attacker with powerful damage, becoming a bug that could both heal and cause damage.
‘The last Bronze Ability is obviously the one that has just been newly developed.’
Su Yang clicked on the Bronze Ability and an introduction popped up in front of him.
[Bronze Ability, Basic Potion Concoction Ability]
Note: This ability allows you to obtain the knowledge and experience related to basic potion concoctions.
‘Yeap, the note might as well didn’t exist.’
Su Yang looked at Sanque, who closed his eyes and sat there calmly.
Su Yang was speechless
‘Fine, it probably wouldn’t be able to utter a word even if I gave him 3 days, so I’m guessing he won’t introduce his abilities to me either. In that case, I might as well ask him to demonstrate it.’
At that thought, Su Yang said to Sanque, “Show me your newly obtained ability.”
Sanque opened his eyes slowly and took a glance at Su Yang. “This ability is about potions. If I show it, you’d probably... not understand it.”
Su Yang was startled
‘Did you have to be so direct!?
‘I have my ego!’
Fortunately, although Sanque did not have any EQ, it still had some IQ. It knew that Su Yang wanted to know the effect of its newly obtained ability. Hence, it said, “Give me 3 hours. You’ll understand once I prepare a bottle of potion for you.”
Su Yang looked at the time. ‘It’s already 9:30 pm. 3 hours... That’s 12:30 am.
‘Alright then.
‘In any case, I have the [Three Days Without Sleep Halo], so I can sleep less and cultivate myself every night.’
Su Yang replied, “Sure. Come look for me in the living room after 3 hours.”
Sanque nodded its head.
Since the potion would not be completed within a short time, Su Yang did not delay any further. He looked at the time and felt that it was time for him to look for Tang Jing. Hence, he left the virtual space and went to the garage in his villa.
When he arrived at the garage of his villa, Su Yang drove his Ferrari and got Little Deeny to navigate the route for him. Then, he drove along the route that Little Deeny gave him to Tang Jing’s hotel.
Perhaps it was because Su Yang had learned the [Tank Driving Ability], his driving skills allowed him to drive recklessly without dodging. He would overtake other cars and change lanes when he needed to, causing countless curses to be directed at him from behind.
‘Actually, I do feel that it’s not good to drive like this. Although it’s not against the rules, it’s still... immoral.
‘However, I really don’t know how to drive normally. I do want to control myself, but I can’t...
‘The experiences that I have gained as well as my driving reflexes have conditioned for me to drive like this. It’s not something that I can change objectively even if I wanted to.
‘The moment I place my hands on the steering wheel, I will turn into a tank driver. Have you ever seen a tank give way to a sedan?’
Soon, Su Yang arrived at the Shanghai Hilton Garden Hotel.
Although the chain of hotels under Hilton International were all high-end hotels, there were many levels within its internal departments. There were a total of 10 levels altogether, ranging from CAT 10 to CAT 1.
Hilton Garden had always been a low-end brand under Hilton International. Shanghai Hilton Garden was only ranked at CAT 3 despite it being a higher standard hotel located in Shanghai where the room and labour charges would be higher.
Therefore, it could be seen that Tang Jing’s financial situation was quite bad.
Su Yang parked the car at the carpark in front of Hilton Garden and walked into the hotel under the curious gazes of the hotel lobby staff.
Perhaps because Su Yang drove a Ferrari, the manager of the hotel was extremely friendly. He took the initiative to bow and greet Su Yang. “Hello Sir, how may I help you?”
Su Yang nodded. “Thank you. I’m just here to look for someone.”
Then, he walked to the side and took out his phone to call Tang Jing.
...
At Shanghai Hilton Garden Hotel, Room 1201.
Tang Jing had just coaxed Tang Xiaomi to sleep. She looked at her daughter’s tear-stained face and could not help but blame herself.
She leaned against the bed and looked at her daughter. Then, she caressed her face and sighed softly.
Just as she sighed, suddenly, her phone on the bed vibrated.
The vibration startled Tang Jing. She quickly picked up her phone and pressed the power button to turn off the vibration. Then, she glanced at Tang Xiaomi. She seemed to have been disturbed by the vibration as well. She was frowning and stretching her arms like she was about to wake up.
She quickly put the phone aside and bent down to pat Tang Xiaomi lightly.
Sure enough, her mother’s gentle patting made Tang Xiaomi’s brows and limbs relax. Soon, she fell asleep again.
Tang Jing heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Tang Xiaomi sleeping.
She reached out with her other hand to pick up the phone and took a look. The call had been disconnected. It was a call from Su Yang.
She furrowed her brows as she recalled how Tang Xiaomi had secretly contacted Su Yang earlier on. ‘Su Yang must have been worried and called to ask about our situation.’
With that thought in mind, she held her phone in one hand and sent a WeChat message to Su Yang while patting Xiaomi.
Su Yang paced around the lobby as he lowered his head to make a call.
Finally, a woman’s voice came through the receiver. “Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later.”
‘No one’s picking up?
‘Could they be asleep already?’
Su Yang thought about it. ‘That’s unlikely...
It was only 10 pm now. Shanghai was a big city, so the after work hours were late. For example, there was still heavy traffic when Su Yang was driving there earlier which would be unimaginable in other cities.
‘Then, why aren’t they picking up my call?’
The lobby manager seemed to have noticed Su Yang’s situation. She took the initiative to step forward and asked, “Hello Sir. Were you unable to contact your friend?”
Su Yang nodded. “Yes.”
After answering, Su Yang’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Can you find out my friend’s room number? I’ll go up and look for her.”
The lobby manager shook her head awkwardly. “I’m sorry, sir. We can’t simply leak our guests information.”
Su Yang was a little disappointed, but he could understand the situation.
‘If I were to check into a hotel that could allow others to discover me easily, I would probably explode in anger.’
Su Yang looked at the lobby manager. ‘Should I try using the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass?
‘Should I use it to check the memory of the hotel’s receptionist? If she did entertain Tang Jing, she would most likely remember her room number.
‘But... who knows if they have already changed shifts or not? If they have, I would have wasted my [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass]. The negative effects of the item would affect my mental state. I’ve just used it a few days ago, I don’t really want to use it again casually.
‘So... What should I do then?’
Just as Su Yang was hesitating, his WeChat rang.
Little Deeny never looked at Su Yang’s WeChat, so Su Yang took out Little Deeny and saw that it was a message from Tang Jing. ‘What’s the matter? I’m rather occupied at the moment.’
‘So she really hasn’t slept.’
Su Yang replied, ‘Xiaomi called me just now. I was worried so I wanted to ask about your situation.’
After receiving Su Yang’s WeChat message, Tang Jing revealed a peaceful smile. Her heart warmed up a little. At a time like that, anyone’s concern would move her.
As she patted Tang Xiaomi gently, she replied slowly, ‘Don’t worry. Something happened at home, but it’s been resolved now.’
A moment later, she received a reply from Su Yang. ‘Are you available to meet up for a drink and talk about it?’
‘He wants to meet up?’ Tang Jing looked at the time. It was already 10:20 pm.
She pondered. ‘Even if I were to tell Su Yang my location now, it would take him almost an hour to get here. It would be too late by then.’
At that thought, Tang Jing wanted to reject him.
Just then, Su Yang sent another WeChat message. ‘I’m already at your hotel.’
historical
Tang Jing was shocked. ‘He’s downstairs? How is that possible!’
She scrolled through the chat history and realized that she had not sent Su Yang her address.
She recalled that Xiaomi had indeed wanted to send her location to Su Yang, but she had managed to discover it in time, so it was not sent.
‘I even pressed the cancel button myself.
‘How did Su Yang know my location?’
Tang Jing was a little surprised. She could not help but reply, ‘You’re joking, aren’t you?’
What she did not expect was that after Su Yang received the message, he did not reply to her WeChat. Instead, he opened his [Share Real-Time Location] on WeChat and invited her to join.
Tang Jing clicked on it skeptically, only to discover that the two of them were at the same place with just a small distance between them. ‘This means that... Su Yang is really at my hotel!’
Shock was written all over Tang Jingjing’s pretty face. She stood up and walked to the bed to call Su Yang.
In less than two seconds, the call connected.
Tang Jing tried to suppress her thumping heart. She lowered her voice and said as softly as she could, “Are you really here?”
Su Yang’s magnetic voice came through the phone. “Really. I’m in the lobby.”
Tang Jing’s heartbeat sped up for some reason. She stole a glance at Tang Xiaomi and whispered, “I’ll be right down, wait for me.”
With that, she hung up the phone and drew the curtains. She took a towel from the bathroom and covered Tang Xiaomi with it. Then, she put on her high heels and ran out of the room with the room’s keycard.
Tang Jing did not know how to describe her feelings. She was curious about how Su Yang knew the address of her hotel. She was touched that Su Yang had driven all the way to Shanghai to meet her. She was also excited about the late-night date that her daughter had no knowledge of...
In any case, she carried this complicated feeling through the corridor on the 12th floor and stepped into the elevator.
The elevator door slowly closed. Looking at her reflection, Tang Jing tidied her hair and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down...
