It seemed this was the place—the Legion Commander Office. Ye Wumeng looked at the plastic sign in front of him, nodded to himself, and knocked on the door with his knuckles.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Please come in."
Hearing the voice, Ye Wumeng nodded and pushed open the door, stepping inside.
The interior was quite different from what Ye Wumeng had imagined. It was simple, with only a desk and a few chairs. On the wall behind the desk hung a canvas displaying the Bonfire Group's emblem, swaying gently as if stirred by an unseen breeze.
"Come, sit."
With a smile, the Vice Commander extended his hand, offering Ye Wumeng a cup of water and gesturing for him to take a seat across from him. Without hesitation, Ye Wumeng sat down.
"Vice Commander, what did you call me here for?" he asked calmly. After all, if it was good news, it would be welcome; if it was bad news, it was better to face it head-on.
"Hehe, well, you are currently an Infected Person, right?" The Vice Commander's tone was calm, but Ye Wumeng felt a storm brewing inside him. After all, this secret was known only to him and Hu Xu. Given Hu Xu's current state, it seemed nearly impossible for him to have told the Vice Commander.
How did he know?
"Hehe, don’t be nervous. As Vice Commander, I have an obligation to look after every member of our team. The Blue Card that Hu Xu gave you has a tracking function. Plus, you’ve been probing Anlius without much caution."
This led me to conclude that you are indeed an Infected Person and have been infected for nearly twenty days now, right?
Understanding that the Vice Commander meant no harm, Ye Wumeng had no choice but to accept the reality.
"So what do you want from me?" he asked with confusion. After all, being summoned in the middle of the night couldn't just be for this discussion.
The Vice Commander smiled and took a sip of water before continuing. "Given your outstanding performance, the Bonfire Group will not skimp on rewards. So tell me, what do you want? Or perhaps I have a Gene Breakthrough Potion here—do you need it?"
[Ordinary Gene Breakthrough Potion: Violently unlocks genetic locks using Corpse Energy's power, significantly enhancing physical limits beyond human capabilities and granting immunity to Corpse Poison below your current efficiency level. However, this potion's efficacy is relatively low—please use with caution.]
[Current body success rate:]
[Influencing Factors Entry: Enhanced Physique and others.]
"It's not that great," Ye Wumeng shook his head and refused. "No, I don’t need this."
The Vice Commander looked bewildered at this response.
"Weren't you getting close to Anlius for this? How can you just say no? That doesn't seem right!"
"Why don't you think it over? There’s probably only this one Gene Breakthrough Potion in all of Lanstad. If you miss this opportunity, there may not be another."
"Well, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don’t need it right now."
Ye Wumeng shook his head, unsure of what to say, and simply began to gather the potions before continuing, "What do you need?"
Upon hearing this question, Ye Wumeng already had an answer in his heart.
"I lack nothing but... weapons. A lot of weapons! The more powerful, the better!" Ye Wumeng exclaimed excitedly.
This battle had made Ye Wumeng acutely aware of the importance of firepower. If he hadn’t had the Corpse Deconstruction Bomb and the High Penetration Rocket Projectile in hand, he wasn’t sure if he would have survived. On the other hand, if Ye Wumeng had enough High Penetration Rocket Projectiles, he wouldn’t have had to struggle so much to attract Xu Duan; he could have taken him down single-handedly.
Thus, Ye Wumeng developed a fear of insufficient firepower—a fear that couldn’t be cured!
"Alright, I will load your card with ten thousand points. You can go find Deng Sanqi to exchange them," said the idealist without hesitation upon hearing Ye Wumeng's request.
It was just a way to stimulate arms consumption, and with Xu Duan around, he figured Ye Wumeng wouldn’t dare to act recklessly. Deng Ge originally had connections with Bonfire Group’s arms partners; that was quite a lucrative opportunity. Selling tobacco couldn’t compare to making money from arms!
"Cough, cough. Now that the rewards are settled, let’s get serious. I hope that once you complete your genetic breakthrough and eliminate the Corpse Poison from your body, you can join Bonfire Group’s Elite Squad."
"Elite Squad?" Ye Wumeng asked in confusion. "What is that?"
"The Elite Squad, as the name suggests, consists of the most elite teams within Bonfire Group. The minimum requirement is that every member must have reached master level in their skills. Given your alchemical techniques and combat abilities, I believe you can easily be considered a master. It would be a waste for you to only serve as an investigator."
After hearing this, Ye Wumeng’s eyes twitched slightly; it seemed this guy was not easy to deal with.
"Oh, by the way, I heard you have an extreme obsession with corpses. In the Elite Squad, you would almost encounter corpses every day."
"Isn’t that what the Elite Squad is for? I’m in! I’m in!" The mention of corpses changed everything for him.
This was his only path to becoming stronger!
"Isn’t it just the Elite Squad? Count me in."
"Well, I look forward to your performance. Alright, it’s getting late; you should rest early."
"You knew all along?" Ye Wumeng's eyes twitched again as he glanced at the time displayed on his Mechanical Glove.
"Yeah, you still have time for a short nap."
Seeing this, Ye Wumeng quickly stood up, said goodbye to the idealist, and hurriedly left.
"Ten thousand points, you really are quite extravagant."
In the shadowy corner of the room, Xu Duan's figure appeared unexpectedly. He found a nearby chair and sat down leisurely, speaking slowly.
"With someone like him, even ten thousand wouldn't be too much," Ideal said after taking a sip of water.
"How do you know he's talented?"
Corpse Poison replied, "The fact that he has been infected for twenty days without any symptoms shows his body has immense potential. Plus, he knows alchemy and marksmanship; isn't that enough to consider him talented?"
Ideal countered, looking up at the starry night sky outside the window, his eyes filled with melancholy.
"Time is running out for Lanstad."
Indeed, time was short. He could only manage half an hour of sleep before morning arrived.
At You Cai Department Store, Ye Wumeng reached the third floor, lay down on his bed, and closed his eyes in an attempt to fall asleep. However, his mind remained in an excited state, making it impossible for him to drift off, which left him feeling uncomfortable.
"Should I just brew the Gene Breakthrough Potion first?"
The thought took root in his mind and began to grow rapidly, spiraling out of control.
Finally, he had no choice but to get up and start preparing the potion.
First, he needed to prepare the Corpse Energy Base Liquid. He still had one remaining First Class Species Shijing from earlier.
He took out two pieces and soaked them in the base liquid until saturated, then added a series of the best materials.
As for where these materials came from—well, they were sourced from corpse handling.
Lastly, he added the blood of an Evolver.
He retrieved the vial of blood Xu Duan had given him and poured it into the mixture.
The moment the blood came into contact with the potion, a marvelous reaction occurred; bubbles began to rise continuously.
After waiting for about an hour, the potion was finally ready.
The moment of excitement had arrived!
