Chapter 45 – Duty calls
Chapter 45 – Duty calls
Jiang Bei finally took the advanced Sequence C potion.
As Xiao Qi had said, he had been too nervous about the Transcendents before. Advancing actually felt quite ordinary. After taking the potion, there were no surprises or adverse reactions. It was just like drinking a cup of herbal tea.
It even tasted pretty good.
Xiao Qi naturally said, "Of course, what could go wrong with advancing in the Transcendent sequence?"
She seemed to have expressed her disdain for the concept of "Transcendents" more than once. This confused Jiang Bei a bit, but every time he asked about what came after Transcendents, she waved her hand and said it was useless. He should just climb up to Sequence A first.
So Jiang Bei stopped asking. He vaguely remembered that Xiao Qi had mentioned something like "surpassing the wise" in passing, but it seemed irrelevant to him at the moment, so he kept quiet.
However, he did discover that advancing in the Transcendent sequence was not as difficult as he had thought. It was simply a matter of taking the medicine. Once his body adapted to a certain level of the Transcendent sequence, he could take the next stage of the medicine without any obstacles.
The members of the Sky Eye Society had no idea about his thoughts. If they knew, it would definitely blow their minds.
Anyone can advance in the Transcendent sequence?
Are you speaking human language?
The Sky Eye Society has been searching all over the world for talents to study advancement. Even Transcendents in Sequence A are rare, and those in Sequence S are even rarer. Developing stable and advanced Transcendents is an advanced technology that would make a bunch of experts explode on the spot.
Of course, it's not to say that there are no obstacles at all. It can only be said that the Union has already had the complete and mature ability from a technical perspective, but it still requires materials.
Jiang Bei checked the medicine system in the hall and found that the materials he obtained in the previous wave were enough to support the production of advanced medicines from Sequence D to C. However, there were still a few rare materials missing if he wanted to advance to Sequence B.
Although the missing materials, such as "mutation factors" and "virtual chips," were scarce, they could still be found occasionally in some underground markets. As long as there was enough funding, they should be able to buy them.
The main thing that was lacking was a kind of mineral called "void ore." The synthesis list in the hall system mentioned this material, but Jiang Bei searched the surface and online networks all over the world and still couldn't find a supplier.
The current situation reminded him of the days when he used to lie in bed in the dormitory, brushing and laughing at the paper wife that cost 648 yuan.
Overall, there were some differences. For example, in the game he used to play, all the subordinates were beautiful girls with fair skin and beautiful illustrations, while now, all his subordinates were men.@@@@
Back then, as the commander in the game, he didn't have much to do besides having a fancy title. Basically, the beautiful girls under him would take care of everything themselves, and even if his role was deleted from most of the plot, the story would still continue.
If you had to say what important role he had as the protagonist of the game, it would probably be competing with the beautiful girls under him in the script, and he didn't even have to show his face.
But now, it's different. In the early stages of the Union, he was responsible for recruitment, strengthening, management, tasks, finances, and everything else. He even went out on field missions incognito, working 24/7 like a secret agent. He was even moved by his own diligence.
...So he gave himself a raise through the financial system.
The door was slammed open. His bodyguard rushed in with a hundred-meter sprint posture, and with the posture of a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, he tackled Wang Hongfei who was sitting on the chair to the ground, covering him with his own body.
"Don't worry, boss! You're safe!"
"...I won't be safe if you keep pressing on me for another two seconds." Wang Hongfei, who was pinned under him, had a dark expression, "I'm running out of breath."
"Sorry, boss, I thought there was an attack."
The burly bodyguard scratched his head awkwardly and was driven out by the displeased boss.
Wang Hongfei threw away the base that had been blown up and went to the bathroom to wash his face. Although the experiment was not successful in terms of results, he was optimistic about it. He felt that at least this showed that he was getting close.
He was confident that he could upgrade the energy module within a day when he returned to the lab tomorrow.
After washing up, he returned to the bed with a smile on his face: "Sorry to keep you waiting."
Yun Yun giggled: "I've been waiting for so long."
"Don't worry, I always take responsibility."
Wang Hongfei approached with a grin.
Then his movements abruptly stopped again.
A prominent prompt popped up on the screen in front of him.
"Task log has been updated, you have new tasks waiting to be checked."
It's here!
The first task assigned to him by the alliance!
"What's wrong?"
The girl who had already laid back down showed a puzzled expression, and a vague sense of foreboding rose in her heart.
"I'm sorry."
Wang Hongfei pulled up his pants, his face full of righteousness.
"Duty calls."
Yun Yun: ?????
