Having obtained the medicine, Niu Ben didn't linger; he rushed to the base's exchange center as quickly as possible.
"Hello, I'm looking for the base commander!"
The staff member who was busy with their work was startled. Why was it this man again? He always came in such a hurry!
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
The staff member picked up the walkie-talkie again.
"Alright, I'll take you upstairs!"
Back in the office, Niu Ben was no longer nervous. "Base Commander, this is the other dose of medicine!"
Chen Chao placed his glasses on the table, a smirk playing on his lips. "Well done, Niu Ben. You truly are someone I have high hopes for! Go back and wait. Once the test results are in, I'll grant your wish!"
Standing outside the hall, Niu Ben finally came to his senses. He was about to succeed, and all that was left was to wait!
Chen Chao picked up the medicine again and looked at it twice. If he wasn't mistaken, it was indeed the same medicine. Just in case, he decided to take it to Ranran and the others to take a look.
Little Jelly also went along this time, and she happily hugged and kissed her older sister Ranran again and again.
"Sister Ranran, I miss you so much! You haven't come to visit me in so long!"
Lin Anran hugged the small, thin body, "Sweetie! Little Jelly, I missed you too!"
Chen Chao took the potion out of his pocket. "The potion-making cow found it and brought it to me. Can you guys check if it's real?"
Lin's mother took the medicine, looked at it, and smelled it. "That's it! Honey!"
Lin's father understood immediately, and with a flick of his wrist, he created a fireball, instantly turning the potion to ashes.
"Alright! There's no danger now!"
Chen Chao was relieved. He had been worried that the medicine might be misused if it was left outside, but now that problem was finally solved!
Of course, he didn't forget what he had promised Niu Ben, and the first thing he did upon returning to his office was to hold a large meeting.
Giving Niu Ben the opportunity to be the captain this time is also to make a breakthrough. Besides the third team of superhumans, there are other teams that need to change their captains.
The incident caused quite a stir in the base the next day, and the captains of each squad were filled with anxiety, fearing that their positions might be replaced at any moment.
Xu Hu sat on the sofa and slammed the teacup in his hand away. "What is that old bastard trying to do? He actually wants to change the captain at this time!"
The woman sitting next to him was unusually quiet. Niu Ben hadn't lied to her? Great, she could finally leave him!
The woman was still secretly pleased with herself when Xu Hu suddenly grabbed her collar. "Tell me, will I be the one who gets replaced?"
The woman was so frightened that she quickly shook her head, "No, no, Brother Xu, it could never be you. The base commander must have replaced someone who wasn't capable enough. You're so outstanding, you would never be replaced."
Xu Hu nodded in satisfaction upon hearing the answer. "You're right. What's there to worry about? My superpowers are now among the best, and no one can shake my position!"
After three days of peaceful life, on the fourth day, the matter of changing the team leader was arranged in the square.
The place is packed with people, and everyone has a chance to be the team leader; everyone is here to try their luck.
Similarly, Niu Ben arrived at the square early, filled with trepidation. Finally, he could finally be the captain.
"Niu Ben, what brings you here?"
Xu Hu was surprised to see his teammates, and a surge of anger rose within him.
"What? You're here to try your luck too? I've treated you well all this time, are you going to betray me?"
Niu Ben gritted his teeth and tried to explain, "No, boss, I just heard you were here, so I came to check it out!"
"Hmph, you better not even think that way! Otherwise, I have a hundred ways to make you wish you were dead!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Chen Chao stood on a high place with a microphone in his hand. "Hello everyone, I am Chen Chao, the base commander. Next, we will begin the selection of team leaders!"
Finally, some of the people below couldn't help but start asking questions.
"Base Commander, why did you decide to change the captain? Has someone made a serious mistake?"
"Yeah, yeah, they were doing so well, why the sudden change of team leader?"
"I'm feeling really panicked right now. Could I have done something stupid?"
"I feel that someone must have made a mistake, otherwise this would not have happened!"
"......"
The people below were all talking at once. Chen Chao listened quietly to their discussion. He coughed lightly, and the scene instantly quieted down.
He would definitely thank Lin Anran properly later; this microphone was absolutely amazing, and he finally wouldn't have to strain his voice anymore.
"I made the decision to change the team leader after observing for a long time. It wasn't because anyone made a mistake. I just wanted to maximize everyone's safety and interests!"
Okay, let's begin!
Everyone waited anxiously for the base commander's verdict. Who would be the first to be replaced?
"Third squad of superhumans, Xu Hu, step forward!"
Xu Hu, who was waiting to see a good show, was stunned. Wait, was he being called?
"Xu Hu? Where is he?"
Someone pushed Xu Hu, and he fell straight out!
"Xu Hu, the captain of the third squad of superhumans, has been bullying his team members for a long time and has been embezzling supplies on his own. Effective today, he is removed from his position as captain!"
The remaining team members will elect the captain!
"I didn't! You're lying! Where did you get the evidence to frame me like this? We're not stupid. Just because you're the base commander doesn't mean we have to listen to you!"
Xu Hu roared angrily, trying to get the people around him to agree with him, but no one spoke up for him.
"Niu Ben, you tell me! Have I ever mistreated you? They're framing me, they're framing me!"
Niu Ben trembled, as if he were afraid of Xu Hu!
"Alright, Xu Hu, stop it! Everyone knows what kind of person you are! All you do is bully Niu Ben, and everyone has seen it!"
"Yes! Brother Niu has helped us a lot, but it's because you've been holding him back that he hasn't been able to show his true strength!"
"My God, there really are captains like that! That's terrifying! I can't even imagine how scared I would be if I were on their team!"
"......"
Xu Hu was completely taken aback by this scene and was furious. "What nonsense are you all spouting? I'm doing this for his own good, I want to promote him, so don't talk nonsense!"
"Niu Ben, say something to me! Tell them it's all fake!"
All eyes turned to Niu Ben before he slowly spoke, "I'm sorry, boss, I can suffer, but I can't watch our team members be wronged!"
Then, he looked at everyone solemnly and said, "The base commander is right. Xu Hu did hoard supplies for his own benefit and harmed the other team members!"
