Chapter 482: Chapter 0482: Crow (Added chapters seeking monthly ticket)
Inside Bai Jing restaurant, there were only a few sporadic customers sitting around, with no further orders being placed.
“You
 You seem troubled.”
Su Lu sat across from Li Weiwei, his voice low.
“Yes, Manager
 do you believe
 in the existence of some extraordinary and unusual powers?” Li Weiwei asked.
‘Hmm? Has hypnosis worked so well? No
 she’s probably just too off guard.’
Su Lu laughed: “I believe in science!”
Seeing Li Weiwei’s slightly disappointed face, he added: “So-called extraordinary powers may exist, but it could simply be that science can’t explain them for now
”
“That’s true
”
Li Weiwei’s eyes brightened and she suddenly asked: “Have you been online recently and seen
 some posts about nightmares?”
“Online? No
 you know that
” Su Lu shrugged.
“Yeah, you’ve been on vacation recently
” Li Weiwei smiled and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Su Lu thought to himself that perhaps he should move the operating hours to late night and start serving alcoholic beverages.
“Can you tell me what it is?”
“You wouldn’t understand, you’re a ‘Muggle’!” Li Weiwei chuckled, seeming much better: “If
one day, you became an extraordinary person with unusual power, what would you want to do?”
“Me? I only know that with great power, comes great responsibility
” Su Lu casually served an inspirational quote.
“You’re right.”
Li Weiwei seemed to have come to a realization, her eyes sparkled, and her spirits rose.
‘Holy
 I was just spouting nonsense.’
Su Lu watched Li Weiwei’s departing figure, looking a bit dumbfounded.
‘Is this girl
 daft?’


“Su, brother, you’ve gone too far this time.”
At this point, a female diner at the next table had spoken, “You’re judging the food by the person
 I’m a customer too.”
“Not at all. I was about to ask how you’re doing, Sister Red.”
Su Lu asked, “Has work been going smoothly lately?”
Mentioning this, Sister Red patted her heaving chest nervously, “It’s been quite a rollercoaster
 The international market is ever-changing. But I’ve managed to escape a major pitfall, so that’s a cause for celebration.”
Su Lu blinked, he knew this woman lacked any mystical power and was completely ignorant about such matters. A thoroughbred Muggle.
“By the way, did you know? Cheng Feng originally wanted to come here when he heard about your opening, but got held back by something
” Sister Red sat up straight elegantly and delivered a piece of news.
“What happened?” Su Lu asked casually.
“There’s a hardcore challenger in our city, said to be an inheritor of ancient martial arts. He’s already toppled several taekwondo and Fight Club-like establishments. Everyone within the industry is wary. Of course, Cheng Feng is excited
 he’s been hooked on it for a long time.”


After sending off the last customer, Su Lu pulled down the roller door and looked at the restaurant’s layout.
Yes, it needs to be changed.
The hours of operation should be shifted to late night, seating should be placed around the stove and alcohol served.
Only this way would it be easier to mingle and hypnotize, thus covertly gathering information.
He gathered the leftover food and carried it out through the back door, ready to dump it.
“Caw caw~~”
Suddenly, a harsh, raspy bird’s cry came from above.
Su Lu looked up and saw a crow with black feathers, its lively eyes looking down.
“It’s just a little fellow.”
He smiled. In the Dragon world, crows are valuable assistants to wizards. With a bit of training, they make admirable magic pets.
According to scientific studies in this world, the passerine family is the smartest among birds, their intelligence comparable to many non-human primates.
“Come down.”
His voice carried an invisible wave.
As if lured by the food, the usually cautious crow fluttered down and pecked at the rice on the ground.
“From now on, you’re my pet.”
Su Lu stared at the crow, planting a hypnotic seed in its mind.
The impact of this seed is quite faint. It would not enslave a human, but it could work on a bird.
Many birds will consider the first creature they see upon opening their eyes as family. Su Lu thought he could take advantage of this and tame a large number of them.
Be aware, not only humans, but animals can also experience Spirit Awakening.
By that time, it should make a great companion.
‘Even if it doesn’t awaken, there are still various training methods. At the very least
 it could serve as a taste-tester for my new dishes.’
He whistled a tune and the satisfied crow automatically flew onto his shoulder, grooming its feathers, and became exceptionally docile.
“Go
 follow that woman. I have a feeling she’s about to do something foolish!”
Su Lu pointed at Li Weiwei at the street corner, who had just changed into sports attire, seemingly planning on going for a night run. The crow cawed hoarsely and flew off.


“Great power brings great responsibility? That makes sense, but it’s not what I like
”
“What I like is to use my power without any restraint!”
Li Weiwei put on her running shoes and sprinted on the sidewalk.
To her eyes, to her ears, a mass of information from her surroundings was transmitted to her. The moving images seemed to slow down, transforming into frame by frame snapshots.
Even if she closed her eyes, she could still see the blurred outlines of the surrounding scenery.
The wind in her ears carried countless pieces of information.
After her last nightmare, she hadn’t gone to the hospital.
After browsing through numerous online posts and realizing that many of them had been deleted, Li Weiwei decided to collate her materials, based on the information she had gathered, and give it a try.
Next, after diligently consuming the magic potion, she noticed she had ‘changed’.
Slight myopia was gone; she could see further and clearer, her ears could hear more sounds, and even her cognitive processing seemed to have improved.
‘According to my information, it should be called the ‘Wind Talker Potion’!’
‘It’s a pity
 during this period, I haven’t dreamt of the Giant again! Only when one is on the verge of a promotion, can one perform a specific ritual as a sacrifice
 Is that
 God?’
Li Weiwei thought, feeling a bit regretful.
She was now certain, she was the fortunate one with the extraordinary encounter.
Now that she had the power, she was like a child with a new toy, eager to use it immediately.
It wasn’t what Su Lu had said about power and responsibility!
How could I, a humble girl, be fooled by such words?
Just then, Li Weiwei’s ears perked up.
The gentle breeze blew, carrying with it a faint sound:
“Don’t move!”
“Give me all your money!”


“There is
”
She looked towards a small alley.
With her run, she had reached a more remote street that didn’t have any surveillance cameras around.
The place where the sound was coming from was an even darker alley.
“What should I do? I
”
Subconsciously, Li Weiwei moved her feet to the entrance of the alley. While hesitating, she decided to take out her phone and call the police.
Just then, a shadow dashed out, running straight into her.
“Ah!”
