Once, I wanted to be a good person

Chapter 227 35. Fang Ze wouldn't like me, would he? (10,000 words asking for subscriptions!) _2

Perhaps due to the uniqueness of this world, Space Folding Bags are relatively common.

But, no matter how common they are, it doesn't mean that every Awakener can get one.

For instance, the last time the Special Case Team acted, Officer Bai Zhi brought a set from the Security Bureau's secret base, the only set in all of Emerald City. It was only available for use during major missions.

She was able to take it out with her on assignments because she was the highest in rank, most powerful, and held the highest status in the bureau, in addition to being a noble.

For another example, the single-person secret bases prepared by the Security Bureau are generally only available for senior managers when they are out in the field. Ordinary military position Fusers cannot obtain them.

So, when Bai Zhi saw that Fang Ze actually had a Space Folding Bag, she could hardly contain her surprise.

And that wasn't all.

Initially, Bai Zhi thought Fang Ze was just showing her the Space Folding Bag, but to her surprise, Fang Ze opened the bag, reached inside, and pulled out a jade carving the size of a doll.

The carving was semi-transparent and exquisitely beautiful, depicting a delicate Beauty Mermaid.

Unlike the typically joyful mermaids, this little mermaid statue looked utterly despondent, with hair that appeared to stand straight up like an inverted broomstick.

It was as if someone had tied her feet and hung her upside down to dry like laundry, leaving her in that stiff, dried-up state overnight...

On seeing this little mermaid statue, Bai Zhi paused for a moment, feeling it seemed familiar but unable to recall where she had seen it before.

At that moment, Fang Ze laughed, pulled Bai Zhi to a seat, placed the statue on the table, and started to explain,

"Officer Bai Zhi, this is a Disaster Creature I obtained just last night."

"It's called a 'Beauty Mermaid.'"

"It's said to be a miraculous Disaster Creature. If you place it in a bathtub while taking a bath, the entire tub's water turns into a beauty lotion."

"This lotion is reputed to beautify and rejuvenate the skin, whiten skin, tighten pores, and maintain youthful appearance...."

Beauty maintenance, everlasting youth!

For all women, these were irresistible attractions.

So, while Fang Ze was enthusiastically explaining, her hand started moving involuntarily toward the mermaid statue on Fang Ze's table.

However, her hand stopped midway as her good upbringing reminded her to restrain herself.

After all, this was her friend's possession, and she had to maintain restraint....

And at that moment, Fang Ze finished explaining about the Beauty Mermaid and then, with a smile, looked at Bai Zhi and asked, "Officer Bai Zhi, what do you think of this Disaster Creature?"

Hearing Fang Ze's question, Bai Zhi cast a covetous glance at the mermaid on the table, tilted her head, and said disingenuously, "It's... just so-so."

Fang Ze: ???

Bai Zhi's response really caught Fang Ze off-guard.

Given the description he read in the Late-Night Investigation Room and his own experience with the mermaid, he believed it would be highly popular among women.

However... Bai Zhi seemed uninterested?

He couldn't help but turn to look at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi avoided his gaze.

Fang Ze looked puzzled: What's with her today? Why does she seem so strange?

Could it be, because she is from the Martial Combat faction, she doesn't care about beauty products?

But Fang Ze still felt something was amiss.

After all, every time he saw Bai Zhi, she was always in a near-perfect condition. In terms of vanity, Fang Ze thought she could be ranked second among all the people he knew.
