Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1298 612: The Withered Oil Cultivator (Part 3)

Li Banfeng rubbed his cheeks hard, gradually clearing his head a bit.

Bafang was right, why are they doing this? Is it just to target the Special Action Team?

No.

Their initial target wasn't the Special Action Team, it was Light Bulb.

It was Light Bulb who discovered the Hidden Form Space and locked it down immediately.

Was it possible for Light Bulb to enter the Hidden Form Space at that time?

Even if it was possible, would it be worth such a huge expense just to deal with one Light Bulb?

Could there be more to Light Bulb?

The next day, Li Banfeng called Light Bulb and Chuuni to the office.

"You said yesterday you wanted to investigate something and mentioned the laboratory, what exactly is it?"

Light Bulb rubbed his face and laughed: "It's not a big deal, such things shouldn't use the bureau's resources, I've realized my mistake and didn't use the laboratory."

Chuuni shook his head and said: "I think it's not a small matter, now we're investigating the Steam Reduction Faction, once we're done with this busy period, we'll have to check this matter thoroughly."

Li Banfeng said: "Don't wait until we're done being busy, tell me about it now, what exactly is it?"

Light Bulb was a bit embarrassed, so Chuuni explained for him: "A new intern girl joined us, Light Bulb took a liking to her, invited her out for coffee at noon, and she agreed,

but he's been consuming a lot of Harmonizing Agent recently, enhancing his cultivation level, and his face is oily with a strong odor. I saw some face cream on Candied Fruit Sister's desk and told him, he took it to cover the scent on his face,

After using it, Light Bulb's face went dry by noon that day, painfully dry, and it didn't recover for several days. I asked Candied Fruit about it,

Candied Fruit said it was perverted of me to use her face cream, I said it was Light Bulb's doing, she said whoever used it, I was a pervert, I thought there was something wrong with the face cream, and contacted the laboratory to check it."

Light Bulb laughed: "Chuuni, that guy's head isn't sharp, Candied Fruit Sister has taken a liking to him, and he doesn't even realize it,

I tell you Chuuni, when it comes to looks, besides Dumpling, who in our bureau could compare to Candied Fruit? Dumpling is set on Seventh Master, so Candied Fruit is the prettiest left, shouldn't you seize the opportunity?

Candied Fruit Sister's position has also been promoted, her income increased, she even got a car, and rumor has it she's buying a house these days, if you stick with her, how many years less will you have to struggle? You'll just laugh secretly!"

Li Banfeng frowned: "Let's not talk about that now, start with the face cream, aren't you an Oil Cultivator? How could your face dry out?"

Chuuni nodded and said: "That's the issue, Candied Fruit said her face cream is oil-controlling, but it shouldn't control an Oil Cultivator's oil away, it doesn't make sense, so I helped him investigate."

Li Banfeng called Candied Fruit: "Bring your face cream over for me to use."

"Huh?" Candied Fruit was stunned on the other end, "Bureau Chief Li, you, what are you...?"

"Chuuni likes your face cream, but he's embarrassed to ask you!"

"Alright, I'll bring it over in a bit."

Chuuni looked at Li Banfeng in shock: "Bureau Chief Li, we can't do this..."

Candied Fruit brought the face cream over shortly after, and as she left, she glared at Chuuni: "Pervert!"

Li Banfeng took the face cream and directly sent it to the laboratory. When the lab saw Bureau Chief Li coming, they put other projects aside and prioritized testing this bottle of face cream.

After testing, the lab technician made an initial assessment: "Bureau Chief Li, this is a typical counterfeit product; it doesn't have any oil-controlling materials inside."

Light Bulb shook his head: "That's nonsense. It got rid of the oil on my face, yet you're saying it doesn't contain any materials?"

"Impossible, presumably it should..." Hearing Light Bulb say this, the lab technician also felt a bit uncertain.

Li Banfeng said: "Don't presume, try it with oil!"

"Oil..." The lab technician thought for a moment, "Surface oil control refers to controlling fat; I'll get some animal fat and try it."

Dropping animal fat onto the face cream sample, there was no apparent reaction, the lab technician raised his eyebrows: "Bureau Chief Li, as you see, it's indeed useless."

"Wait a little longer."

After waiting for over twenty minutes, the animal fat suddenly began to rapidly diminish and disappeared within a short time.

The lab technician jumped in shock, quickly putting the sample back on the test bench, thinking about what reagent to use for experiments.

Li Banfeng watched anxiously: "Don't use reagents yet, put it under the microscope and take a look."

"This chemical change involves molecular structure, an optical microscope isn't very effective."

"Then use an electron microscope!"

The electron microscope was sent for repair, Li Qi urged the technician, who had no other choice, to use the highest magnification optical microscope available and took a look.

The technician was startled upon seeing: "Alive, alive, it's living organisms!"

Li Banfeng leaned over the microscope and looked for a long time: "What living organisms are you talking about? I can't see them!"

"Look here, there's a cellular structure, Bureau Chief Li, I really didn't see it before, I used the microscope just now too, it wasn't there then..."

Li Banfeng waved his hand: "Let's not discuss this right now, change a sample, and use some more fat for testing!"

The lab technician obtained a new sample, dripped animal fat on it.

Under the microscope, initially, there was no change, but after almost half an hour, cellular structures appeared in the face cream sample.

The technician applied staining agents to the cells, and this time Li Banfeng saw very clearly, cells were rapidly growing on the surface of the cream, splitting one piece after another, causing Li Banfeng to feel itchy all over.

Light Bulb was also terrified: "Is Candied Fruit's face like this too? Is my face also...?"

Li Banfeng instructed Chuuni to quickly find Candied Fruit and isolate her along with Light Bulb.

"Clarify with Candied Fruit where she bought the cream, gather personnel, immediately investigate, and locate the manufacturer."
