Chapter 226: 35. Fang Ze couldn't possibly like me, could he? (10,000 words plea for subscription!)
Thinking this way, as he walked along the road, Fang Ze simultaneously opened Wang Hao's panel.
As expected, after the span of one night, the debt Wang Hao owed him had increased by 200 credit points.
Looking at the borrowing options available for Wang Hao, there was only a lone Awakening Ability: Social Expert. The credit points required to borrow it were precisely 200 per day.
After confirming there was no issue, Fang Ze directly clicked on 'borrow'.
In that instant, the winged rabbit appeared in front of Fang Ze once again.
Its crimson eyes emotionlessly regarded Fang Ze, and then it said mechanically, "Borrowing from Wang Hao, Awakening Ability, Social Expert, for one day. Successful."
As it finished speaking, it turned into a burst of golden light that fell upon Fang Ze.
When the golden light touched him, Fang Ze felt as if an invisible, tasteless thread had suddenly appeared on his body.
This thread extended into the void, imperceptible to the eye, and somehow connected with a fragment of Law in the cosmic ether.
"This... is borrowing?" Fang Ze hesitated, then started to absorb the added information on how to use the [Social Expert] ability in his mind.
It was nearly the same as the information he had obtained from the Late-Night Investigation Room before.
The ability was divided into passive and active modes.
The passive mode didn't require Fang Ze to do anything extra; as long as he borrowed the ability, it would activate automatically.
For the active mode, Fang Ze needed to select one or more targets in his mind, then commence speaking.
Only then would the ability take effect.
Additionally, although Mind Power Users were scarce in this world, since using an ability would cause Law Fluctuations,
even though [Social Expert] was highly covert, if Fang Ze actively used the ability, there was still a certain probability that it would be detected by Awakeners with keen senses or substantial power.
As for the passive ability, it was difficult to be detected even by powerful Awakeners or those with sensitive perception. It belonged to the category of a true passive buff.
Having roughly understood Wang Hao's ability, Fang Ze then prepared to find someone to test it out.
As for the target of his trial, the first one was, of course... Bai Zhi, the recipient of the gift Fang Ze planned to give.
Bai Zhi was the strongest person Fang Ze knew among all his acquaintances. In fact, there was no close second...
If this ability went undetected by her, then it was very likely that other Awakeners below the Spirit Ascension stage wouldn't be able to detect it either.
Thinking this way, Fang Ze strolled into the Security Bureau.
Having cracked two major cases one after another in the past few days, Fang Ze's fame in the Security Bureau had been growing.
This made many Commissioners, upon seeing him, involuntarily stop to greet him.
Since Fang Ze had been pondering over "conquering" the entire Security Bureau, he would always stop with a smile to chat for a moment with those who approached him of their own volition.
Perhaps because of the charisma bonus from [Social Expert], today, everyone who interacted with Fang Ze felt refreshed and greatly enjoyed their conversations.
And even though they only had a brief chat, they felt that Fang Ze's words seemed incredibly profound and sensible.

For a moment, they were all somewhat astonished: they hadn't expected... that Commissioner Fang Ze was such an outstanding person and so compatible with themselves.
It turns out they were right to interact with him!
So it went, as he walked and talked, Fang Ze garnered the initial goodwill of over a dozen Commissioners before finally reaching Officer Bai Zhi's office.
He knocked on the door, and Bai Zhi's voice came from inside, "Come in."
Fang Ze entered. Then he saw Bai Zhi, wearing an elegant and beautiful white dress, sitting in her chair with her hand propped on the desk and the end of a pen in her mouth, frowning at the report in front of her.
Seeing her like that, Fang Ze was reminded of his senior year in high school.
So... he deliberately didn't disturb Bai Zhi to let her "solve problems" more intently.
Bai Zhi seemed genuinely troubled by the "exercises" she was working on, almost biting through the pen as her brow remained furrowed.
Then, she seemed to finally remember that someone had entered her office a moment ago.
So she couldn't help but look up.
Upon seeing that it was Fang Ze who had come in, her face instantly lit up as if she had seen a savior, quickly closing the file to the side and saying with a smile, "Fang Ze, you're looking for me? Come, take a seat."
Watching her adorable actions, Fang Ze couldn't help but smile, then said, "Yeah, Officer Bai Zhi. I came to show you something nice."
"Something nice?" Bai Zhi blinked.
To be honest, although Bai Zhi was a bit curious about what Fang Ze was going to show her, she didn't really care all that much.
After all, nobility in this world wasn't just a title but came with immense direct authority.
So, being born into nobility, she had seen and used countless fine things from childhood to adulthood.
It wasn't that there were no more things that could catch her eye, but the fine things in commoners' hands really weren't all that novel to her.
However, no matter what, Fang Ze showing her something nice was definitely a kind gesture. So she still stood up, asking curiously, "What is it?"
Fang Ze walked over, then opened his pocket and pulled out a small cloth bag.
Seeing the strange patterns and lines on the cloth bag, Bai Zhi's gaze could not help but sharpen slightly.
