Human Genius? Sorry, I’m a Deviant Chapter 66

"So honestly, this stuff is really boring."

Liu Ziming stretched lazily, placing his hands behind his head: "Might as well go kill a few more Aberrants for some real excitement."

Xu Hao shook his head with a bitter smile: "But some things can't be solved by force alone. Like this time, if Professor Wang hadn't handled it properly..."

"Pfft, I say we just bust down their door!"

Liu Ziming made a punching motion: "Just drag that old man Li out and ask him directly!"

Su Zhan shook his head: "And then what? Wait to make headline news?"

"Su Zhan is right."

Wang Mingyuan strolled along the street: "Most of the time, fists can't solve problems—they just create more. Of course, if you're powerful enough to a certain degree, then forget I said anything. Otherwise, you have to follow this world's rules."

Feng Jue glanced at Liu Ziming: "Trouble mostly comes from talking too much. I suggest you say less."

Everyone burst into laughter.

The night breeze swept across the street, bringing with it a slight chill.

There was definitely no going back to Binhai Grand Hotel now, since it had just experienced a Mist incident and official personnel needed to conduct investigations there.

So everyone had to switch to a different hotel.

Though it couldn't compare to Binhai Grand Hotel, it was at least decently upscale.

Under the care of professional medical staff, everyone gradually recovered their health.

Over these three days, they naturally focused on recuperating in the hotel, doing some rehabilitation exercises, and taking healing potions.

Even Feng Jue, who had suffered the most severe physical exhaustion, had now recovered about thirty percent of his stamina.

Su Zhan thought about the card that the Green Giant mask had given him.

Telling him to go to this address the day after the Mist.

But due to Wang Mingyuan's strong insistence that they properly rest and recover without going out, he couldn't very well leave on his own.

Of course, this information absolutely could not be shared with the others.

Su Zhan simply couldn't explain it.

Moreover, he had used his Aberrant form during both Mist incidents. A few more times and he felt he would eventually be exposed.

So he definitely couldn't share this news with everyone.

Just wait then. After all, those two Aberrants had already been killed by him.

So it was very likely that even if he went to the address on the card at the specified time, he would find nothing there due to those two Aberrants' deaths.

Leave it to fate. He hoped this address wouldn't disappoint him.

The third day.

While everyone was eating.

Liu Ziming finally couldn't take it anymore, slamming the table: "I've had enough! Cooped up in this damn hotel every day—no place to train, no place to have fun! I'm gonna fucking grow mushrooms at this rate! Today, no matter what, we're going out for some fresh air!"

The dining table immediately fell silent.

Xie Xi slowly put down her chopsticks, surprisingly not offering any rebuttal this time.

Su Zhan raised an eyebrow.

No rebuttal meant tacit agreement. Xie Xi seemed to want to go out too.

"Actually..."

Xu Hao said slowly: "We're quite close to the Aberrant Purge Division here. Even if something really happens, they can get here quickly."

Feng Jue continued eating expressionlessly, but the fork in his hand noticeably slowed down.

Wang Mingyuan put down his tea cup, scanning everyone with his gaze: "Looks like everyone's feeling cooped up?"

Wang Mingyuan had been strictly forbidding them from going out these past few days.

Partly worried about retaliation from the Transcendence Society, and partly concerned they might get caught up in the Aberrant Purge Division's investigation.

But young people ultimately couldn't be kept locked up forever.

Especially these passionate, hot-blooded awakeners.

"Professor Wang~"

Liu Ziming immediately put on an ingratiating expression, moving closer to Wang Mingyuan: "Just a quick trip to the shopping street, I promise I won't cause any trouble! Look, Feng Jue's about to stab through his plate..."

Feng Jue gave him a cold look but didn't refute.

"Alright, but we must move together. No one is allowed to wander off alone."

Wang Mingyuan sighed lightly, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses: "Especially you, Liu Ziming."

"Understood! Sir!"

Liu Ziming immediately stood straight, giving an exaggerated salute.

Everyone quickly finished their meal and gathered their things.

Ten minutes later, in the hotel lobby.

Liu Ziming rushed down first, wearing a garish floral shirt with sunglasses pushed up on his forehead: "So? Pretty stylish, right?"

Xie Xi rolled her eyes, wearing a black fitted T-shirt with tactical pants, looking impeccably sharp.

Wang Mingyuan shook his head helplessly: "Remember, don't wander too far from me. Today is just ordinary shopping, understand?"

Well, whatever. He couldn't keep the students locked up forever.

Getting some fresh air would be good for them.

"Understood."

Everyone answered in unison.

In a way, this outing could count as a small break.

Everyone walked along the shopping street.

Liu Ziming walked at the front with hands in his pockets, his floral shirt particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

He occasionally turned back to urge them: "Walk faster! There's a newly opened men's clothing store up ahead, let's check it out."

"According to the navigation, this shopping street is 1.2 kilometers long."

Xu Hao said while looking at his phone's navigation: "There are 87 shops on both sides, with a pedestrian flow of approximately..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Liu Ziming turned around, walking backward: "We're here to shop, not conduct market research. Even if something really happens, Professor Wang is right here with us. What are you afraid of?"

Xu Hao nodded upon hearing this.

Wang Mingyuan scanned their surroundings casually and said: "Just don't wander off, that's all."

Feng Jue walked at the edge of the group.

Passing by a watch shop, he took an extra glance at the mechanical watches in the display window.

And so everyone walked along, stopping here and there.

Before they knew it, over an hour had passed.

Su Zhan looked down at his phone.

The navigation map showed the target location was only three hundred meters away.

He pointed ahead: "There's a cafe at the corner. Want to go sit down?"

"Sure thing."

Liu Ziming was the first to respond: "Perfect timing, I'm tired from walking."

Xie Xi glanced at Su Zhan's phone but didn't say anything.

The cafe had minimalist decor and few customers.

Everyone chose seats by the window, with the floor-to-ceiling windows facing a quiet alley.

They each ordered coffee from the server.

Su Zhan's eyes casually swept over the cafe staff.

Corner Cafe.

This was the address the Green Giant mask had given him.

He hoped he could uncover something from investigating this place.

After the coffee was served.

Liu Ziming crossed his legs, lightly tapping the rim of his coffee cup with a connoisseur's expression.

"The beans at this place aren't roasted enough."

He took a sip and frowned with feigned expertise: "See this crema? Clearly under-extracted. The water temperature was at least 2 degrees too low."

Xu Hao looked puzzled: "Since when do you know about coffee?"

"Heh."

Liu Ziming swirled his cup: "I learned from a coffee master. Authentic Italian espresso should have crema as smooth as silk..."

Su Zhan frowned.

He knew this young master Liu was about to start showing off again.
