Seeing the Dragon King depart, Chen Dalong let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
“All right, let’s go! This is the Dragon Lord’s secret cultivation spot. Without important matters, we shall not disturb,” the Mutated Parrot spoke and took the lead in walking down from the contract platform.
Upon hearing this, Chen Dalong hurriedly plucked the crystal-clear fruit and scurried after the Mutated Parrot.
He had just left the contract platform when the ground started to tremble slightly. Then he watched, wide-eyed, as the contract platform sank into the ground below, disappearing without a trace.
“Okay, don’t be dazed, let’s talk while walking. There are some things I need to ask you,” the Mutated Parrot urged.
“Oh, okay!” Chen Dalong snapped back to reality and quickly responded.
He promptly adjusted his mindset and said respectfully, “Lord Parrot, feel free to ask me anything. I will withhold nothing and provide full answers.”
“Fine, then let’s start with your identity and status among humans,” the Mutated Parrot said.
“It’s like this. I’ve set up a security company…” Chen Dalong began to provide a detailed account of his background.
How the research institute found him, the mission they assigned, and how he acquired the firearms—all of this, he laid out.
“It sounds quite good.”
The Mutated Parrot first praised him, then offered some advice, “As the Spiritual Energy Resurgence continues, the wilderness will only become more chaotic. Your security company has good prospects, and you can develop it vigorously.”
“If you need it, I can request the Dragon Lord to provide you with some assistance.”
Chen Dalong’s eyes gleamed at this statement; he never imagined such good fortune could come his way.
If he could obtain the support of the Dragon King… No, even the help of the Dragon King’s subordinates, he felt he could stride confidently through the dangerous wilderness!
“Lord Parrot, that would really trouble you. If I could get the assistance of the Dragon Lord, I am confident that within a month, I could turn our company into one of the best security companies in Yang City,” he said.
Chen Dalong habitually began to boast, but he quickly realized who he was facing.
He hastily coughed lightly to correct himself, “Ahem! I mean in terms of numbers and scale, that’s relatively easier to increase.”
He glanced at the Mutated Parrot and, seeing no significant reaction, he ventured, “Um, Lord Parrot, our company is currently short on funds, and this mission we’ve undertaken is very important…”
Before Chen Dalong could finish, the Mutated Parrot interrupted him abruptly, “Are you looking for death?”
“I’ve already told you, this place is the Dragon Lord’s cultivation ground. Not a single grass or tree in Sunset Valley is for you to touch. Do you understand?”
With the scolding from the Mutated Parrot, cold sweat instantly began to bead on Chen Dalong’s forehead.
“My apologies, look at my pig’s brain, completely forgetting such an important matter.”
While apologizing, Chen Dalong sneakily glanced at the Mutated Parrot from the corner of his eye.
Seeing that the other party didn’t seem to continue being angry, he cautiously proceeded, “Then, Lord Parrot, could you perhaps arrange to escort me to Small Phoenix Mountain to collect some leaves from the Mutated Old Chinese Scholar Tree?”
“No!” the Mutated Parrot said bluntly.
Chen Dalong looked somewhat puzzled and bewildered. Hadn’t they just agreed to help his company grow?
Being refused twice felt like a slap in the face!
“Small Phoenix Mountain over there is the territory of another resurrected being, don’t go looking for death without a good reason,” the Mutated Parrot said indifferently.
Chen Dalong was immediately jolted to attention, swallowing hard; he felt this world was too dangerous.
“Then, this…” Chen Dalong opened his mouth, at a loss for words.
The Mutated Parrot’s words might as well have declared his mission a failure.
“Your company wants to grow, you lack money, but there are more ways to make money than just this one,” the Mutated Parrot then said slowly.
Chen Dalong’s eyes lit up again, his emotions stirred by the Mutated Parrot, like riding a roller coaster, fluctuating between peaks and valleys.
“Lord Parrot, what do you mean?” Chen Dalong asked, even more humbly.
“As far as I know, the main business of security companies like yours should be convoy protection, for the freight teams traveling between cities,” the Mutated Parrot said.
“Yes, that’s right, but only the stronger security companies dare to take on such escort tasks,” Chen Dalong quickly replied.
The logistics escort missions between cities often required traveling hundreds of kilometers, and those spanning several cities could be even longer.
Such long distances came with an understandably high danger quotient—encountering Mutated Beings was almost a certainty, possibly more than once.
His Mad Dragon Security Company didn’t dare even touch such tasks.
Of course, with such high risk also came extremely lucrative rewards.
Escorting just once could earn millions of Huaxia Currency, and the time spent wasn’t long either.
If all went well, it was even possible to complete a round trip in a single day, doubling the earnings.
“Then your company will undertake this task from now on. Rest assured, I will ask the Dragon Lord for permission to send stronger envoys to secretly protect your convoy,” the Mutated Parrot said.
“We will ensure that no Second Order Mutated Organisms approach your convoy,” the Mutated Parrot continued.
Chen Dalong’s heart pounded with excitement; it was as if the other party had laid out a road of wealth before him!
However, with confusion still in his heart, he quickly asked, “Lord Parrot, what are Level 2 Mutated Creatures?”
“Those are the ones with considerable strength. Basically, all the creatures on the danger list are Second Order Creatures. Simply put, only those that have reached Second Order can withstand gunfire and bullets,” the Mutated Parrot explained.
Hearing this, Chen Dalong was completely reassured.
“Thank you, Dragon Lord, thank you, Lord Parrot. If it pleases you, I shall take my leave now,” Chen Dalong said, bowing deeply.
“Don’t rush. You can eat this ‘Evolution Fruit’ first. Transforming into a superhuman requires a process, I can help you with the possession,” the Mutated Parrot said.
Ye Feng wasn’t sure if humans could truly become superhuman after eating the Evolution Fruit, so he wanted to witness it himself.
“Very well!” Chen Dalong eagerly agreed.

After asking the Mutated Parrot about how to consume the Evolution Fruit, he swallowed it without hesitation.
Less than 10 seconds later, he collapsed to the ground, asleep, while his aura began to slowly strengthen.
“Tsk! It actually works,” Ye Feng, possessed in the Mutated Parrot, couldn’t help but remark.
If it really worked, he could find a chance to let his family eat the Evolution Fruit later. That way, he wouldn’t have to worry so much about their safety.
