Mission in another world with my transformed best friend

A businessman is a businessman; profit comes first. He doesn't care about trivial matters and gets straight to the point... Besides, Hani is one of the top-tier businessmen on the mainland, and his "business acumen" is already second to none...

Wang Kai suddenly realized that he had never seen such a scene of instant success in his life. He had heard those dreamlike scenes from Zhang Lan, which were like heavenly books, but now they were about to happen to him.

But Wang Kai was also very clear that if he nodded, it would feel like signing a "labor contract" with a big company, which was actually a "contract of servitude." But the other party was offering too much, and it would be a lie to say that he wasn't tempted at all.

“Well, Mr. Hani, thank you for your high regard. These springs are something I came up with on a whim to solve a problem when I was being jostled around so badly in a carriage ride. But you elevate it to the level of some ‘masterpiece,’ isn’t that making a mountain out of a molehill…”

"Excuse me, but when it comes to business acumen, I never joke. Judging from what you've said, you're probably still considering it. No problem, I can wait... Next, First-Class Receptionist Donna... Miss, what are your opinions on today's events? How would you like to handle them? With me as your witness, you can state your opinions now."

After hearing this, Donna seemed to completely disregard Honey, casting a cold gaze at Wang Kai before taking a deep breath and speaking.

"In my memory, your name, Kyle, was etched into my mind long before the later renowned 'Hermit of the World.' I worked at the Adventurers' Guild for decades… and this was the first time I'd ever seen you so 'hopeless.' I've come to the Merchant Guild today, firstly to assess the security arrangements for tomorrow's 'Raffi II,' and secondly, having heard of your return, I initially intended to update and register your adventurer status and information on behalf of the Adventurers' Guild, but for now, I see no need for that…"

Listening to Donna's incoherent words, Wang Kai could only remain silent. He shifted his gaze away from Donna's face somewhat guiltily, only pausing briefly at the area that represented her impressive assets...

To be honest, compared to the form-fitting Adventurers' Guild uniform he wore before, the casual clothes he was wearing now made this place, which could be described as a "black hole for male gazes," even more alluring. Before he knew it, Wang Kai was somewhat mesmerized...

"Hey, Mr. Kyle, are you listening?"

"Ah, I'm listening. Where were you talking about?"

Donna sighed, exchanged a glance with Honey, and then turned back to continue asking.

"I can let bygones be bygones today, but may I ask Mr. Kyle a private question, and please answer truthfully?"

"Really? One question is all it takes? So easy! Miss Donna, feel free to ask any more questions, and if you feel it's not enough, please keep asking..."

"Excuse me, are you currently engaged?"

"Bride? Haha, who would want a loser like me... Wait, this question is far too private."

After hearing this, Donna's expression turned strange. Before Wang Kai could react, she stood up, bowed to Hani, and turned to leave.

"What does this mean? He asked a completely unrelated personal question and left. Is he trying to add 'single' to my 'adventurer's resume'? Why go through all that trouble? I'm constantly under Kyle's 'self-discipline code's influence, destined to be a bachelor-type simp for life, sigh..."

Seeing that things were mostly settled, Hani put the spring back on the table and reiterated his statement.

"Mr. Kyle, please consider the 'Contract'. I will personally visit you again after tomorrow's press conference. Farewell."

Seeing Hani disappear through the door, Wang Kai leaned back on the sofa, his gaze fixed on the spring on the table. He couldn't make up his mind for a moment. Who else could he consult with at this point? So he picked up the spring and ran towards the "Alchemy Pavilion"...

"Dong Dong Dong~"

After knocking on the door for a while, they finally heard Zhang Lan's half-asleep murmurs coming from inside. As light footsteps slowly approached, the door slowly opened...

"Who is it, Martha? Didn't I tell you not to disturb me during my nap time unless it's something really urgent..."

"Hey, look at this... wow."

"It's you. What do you want me to look at?"

Before Zhang Lan could react, Wang Kai's gaze suddenly changed, because what appeared behind the bedroom door was a blonde, blue-eyed beauty wearing a semi-transparent, openwork silk lace nightgown. This beauty was even more stunning than the "stare black hole" Donna had just been looking at.

When Wang Kai's gaze became somewhat greedy and his breathing grew heavier, Zhang Lan's dazed mind finally came to its senses. She looked down, shouted, turned around, and closed the door.

Soon, the door opened again, and Zhang Lan, who had changed her clothes, glared at Wang Kai angrily, her hands clenched into fists as she approached him step by step. Wang Kai could only retreat slowly with an innocent expression until his back was against the wall and he had nowhere left to go. Only then did he lower his head and say.

"I'm sorry to have seen something so sexy... no, I'm sorry to have disturbed your nap. If you're going to take action, you might want to take a look at this first..."

Seeing the dark, round object handed to her by Wang Kai, Zhang Lan could only suppress her anger and glance at it before instantly freezing, her expression turning to astonishment. She immediately grabbed the spring, examined it for a long time, and began to speak with her mouth opening and closing.

"Holy crap, Er Gou, how did you do that? I've been trying for half a month and still can't melt steel into molten iron, and I don't even know how to cast it... Did you use some kind of super-intelligent magic potion? Your pig brain is slowly starting to resemble that of a primate, and you just figured it out by accident... Am I dreaming?"

"While hearing you say that is unpleasant, I still feel that the shock it brought you is absolutely on a different level. If you feel like you're dreaming, why don't you try slapping me..."

"Snapped!"

Wang Kai was stunned for a few seconds until he felt a burning sensation and pain on his face. Then he touched his face and shouted.

"It hurts so much! Are you out of your mind? This is the first time I've ever seen someone use slapping someone to determine if they're dreaming!"

"Oh, my hand slipped and I couldn't resist. Consider it a 'thank you' for waking me from my nap and for letting me peek at my pajamas. As for whether it's a dream or not, as long as your next comment is unexpected, it should be considered reality... Now, let me ask you, Er Gou, how did you get this thing... Huh, I only remember slapping you once, how come you have handprints on both sides of your face?"

"Hmph, I'd rather die than tell..."

"Okay, no need to kill him, let's try beating him half to death first."

"This... I'll talk, I'll talk."

Wang Kai briefly recounted what happened after lunch, from how he used the excuse of familiarizing himself with the environment to sneak into the blacksmith shop on the third floor of the "Alchemy Pavilion," to what happened after Hani let him go. Of course, he automatically covered up how the "handprint on the other face" came about, perhaps as his last shred of male pride.

Fortunately, Zhang Lan wasn't interested in this. After listening to Wang Kai's description, she nodded and said...

"For such a 'completeness' on the first attempt, I have to admit, even if I'm not happy about it, that I really didn't think about 'magic-assisted smelting,' so it's understandable that you overtook me. Actually, after seeing your disgusting scene of vomiting and having diarrhea in the carriage, I was already planning to make a spring..."

"Hey, I have nothing to say about vomiting, but I've never had diarrhea before, okay?"

"Alright, alright, that's a brilliant and unconventional point of contention! You're probably not dreaming. I'm not in the mood for your nonsense anymore. Take me to the blacksmith's shop on the third floor and let me see how you did it..."

Wang Kai stood with his arms crossed, back against the wall, looking displeased, responding to the "slapping ordeal" with silence...
