Chapter 162 IQ Ranking

"uncertain."

Seeing that his explanation had been rejected by Gu Zijing again, Pei Xiu gritted his teeth inwardly: "Why not? Aren't they trying to destroy the world by selling this evolution fluid on a large scale?"

Gu Zijing was about to explain when Su Yimo interrupted her: "Let me explain! Let's see if I'm right."

Chen Le previously said that among the team members, the adult was the smartest, followed by Gu Zijing, Pei Yi, and Shen Nianshen, then him and Zhou Hang, and then her and Pei Xiu, whose IQs were the lowest.

Su Yimo gritted her teeth at that moment, but she couldn't refute it.

Because it's true that whenever something happens, it's always her and Pei Xiu who ask the stupidest questions.

It's one thing if she's not as good as others, but is she even on the same level as Pei Xiu? Su Yimo couldn't tolerate this.

Seeing this as a good opportunity to prove herself, Su Yimo quickly said, "Although this evolution fluid has side effects, the master said it should be taken long-term. So taking it for a short period of time shouldn't have much of an impact, right?"

"Even if the impact is small, what is their purpose in doing this?"

Su Yimo's eyes brightened even more as she looked at Pei Xiu, raising her chin even higher.

Pei Xiu, who met his gaze, said, "...Emo, what are you doing? Is your jaw cramping?"

"You're the one with a jaw cramp!"

Su Yimo glared at him, then continued, "The goal is naturally to make money—money from the superhumans, money from the various bases. With this capital, I hope the base can leap to become one of the top bases in the country."

Seeing Pei Xiu's sudden realization, Su Yimo silently moved her ranking up one level, and then frowned slightly as she looked at Chen Le and Zhou Hang, who were in the same level as her.

She will prove sooner or later that she is smarter than Chen Le and Zhou Hang.

As for Pei Xiu, ha, he's just a defeated opponent.

"So this Hope Base is really quite cunning."

"They are clever." Even Gu Zijing had to admit that Hope Base's move was truly brilliant.

"Aren't they afraid of being exposed?"

"They can say it's slander," Su Yimo said, becoming more and more confident.

"That paper can't keep out the fire."

"Um……"

How should I answer this question?

Su Yimo paused.

Gu Zijing, who was standing nearby, kindly explained: "Perhaps by the time the truth is revealed, an evolution fluid without side effects will have already been developed."

Su Yimo nodded as if she knew a lot: "That's right, that's exactly it."

Damn! How come she didn't think of that?

During our conversation, a light drizzle started again, and the temperature seemed to drop considerably. The already gloomy weather became even darker as night fell.

Before five o'clock, Ling Ran and her group had to find a place to stay temporarily and planned to continue their journey the next day.

This is a self-built detached house with three floors.

After clearing out the two zombies in the building and cleaning the room, he decided to cook dinner.

Pei Yi took out the oven and charcoal, lit a fire, and placed it in the kitchen. The window glass was already broken, so he wasn't worried about ventilation.

The weather was so cold that even he, a fire-type ability user, needed to wear thick clothes, let alone others, especially Liu Xiuping and the others who didn't have any abilities.

Seeing Pei Yi's actions, Liu Xiuping and the others quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, young master."

"fine."

Although there are many prepared meals stored in the space, they are all reserved for eating in Xingcheng. Since we can still cook, it's better to cook fresh.

For dinner, we had tomato and beef curry rice, a big bowl for each person.

The rich broth poured over the fluffy white rice makes it incredibly delicious and satisfying.

This was also Ling Ran's first time trying curry. At first, she thought it tasted a bit strange, but after a couple more bites, she got used to it.

She marveled once again at how much the people in this small world knew how to eat.
