Chapter 154 World Five [12]

In order to ensure that his meaning could be conveyed smoothly, Jing Ke slowly read out the names of the twenty-two bases one by one, and added a sentence at the end.

"The above-mentioned members of the base are on my blacklist. Evolution Potion No. 1 will not be sold to them under any circumstances. In addition, if these people want to purchase Evolution Potion No. 1 directly, they will need to pay double the retail price."

"Anyone who disagrees with this will be put on my blacklist." Jing Ke added another patch.

After the words fell, the twenty-two base members whose names were called were dumbfounded. This was the moment of extreme joy and sorrow.

They clearly have the opportunity to transform from mutants into evolvers. Not only do they not have to worry about wound infections caused by zombie bites, but they can also gain more powerful strength.

But why was his base blacklisted? Why did the base commander go crazy and go against Base No. 1 without thinking?

"Why, why are you targeting us?" One of the base commanders who was named was obviously overwhelmed and asked with a slightly ferocious look on his face.

"Why? Aren't you very clear about the reason? Chu Ci is the person I rescued with great effort, and you can't frame and bully him at will." Jing Ke said expressionlessly.

"However, considering there are innocent people inside your base, I will give them an extra month. As long as they are willing to leave their original base and join a base not on the blacklist within thirty days, I will remove their names from the blacklist."

After making sure that what he said was heard by every base commander, Jing Ke unilaterally ended the meeting and allowed the news to spread.

-

When Jing Ke was holding a multi-party video conference, Chu Ci stood in a place out of reach of the camera as a guard.

Chu Ci tried hard to focus on what Jing Ke said, but since the video conference started, her head was filled with one sentence.

After the news is out, you can pursue me.

Chu Ci heard this sentence with his own ears and kept it firmly in his mind.

The news is made public now, so does he just need to be patient for a while before he can pursue Jing Ke?

Seven days was still too short a time, and I only had time to make one bracelet.

If I give her a bracelet as the first gift, wouldn't it seem a bit casual? Would Jing Ke think I'm not sincere enough?

When Chu Ci was struggling, she heard Jing Ke's slow words.

I am Jing Ke's person, and Jing Ke won't let outsiders bully me? Does that mean that Jing Ke has classified me as one of his own?

Joy filled Chu Ci's chest little by little, and also gave her courage slowly.

What courage? Of course, it was the courage that Jing Ke had to take out the jewelry box and hand the things to the other party after interrupting the meeting.

"Director, this is a gift I prepared for you. I don't know if it is suitable." Chu Ci walked to Jing Ke, hesitated for a second, and then chose to open the jewelry box and hand it over.

Jing Ke's gaze fell on the opened jewelry box. It contained a pure handmade bracelet dotted with green. It did not require too many complicated techniques, but it was definitely unique.

"Director, do you like it?" Chu Ci asked with a hint of uneasiness after seeing Jing Ke did not answer for a long time.

Jing Ke raised her eyebrows. She chose not to answer the question, "Are you sure you want to call me Director?"

"Jing Ke." Chu Ci sensibly changed the address and asked again, "Jing Ke, are you satisfied with this gift?"

Jing Ke smiled, stretched out his right hand, and answered the question with practical actions.

Chu Ci immediately took out the bracelet he had made, bent down and carefully put it on Jing Ke's slightly slender wrist.

After putting it on, Jing Ke raised her wrist and looked at it carefully, and found that the green embellishment on her wrist was not jade or gems, but an unknown object that was more vivid and flexible.

"What material is this?" Jing Ke asked without understanding.

"This is something I extracted from the vines. It retains a certain degree of activity and can provide some protection when encountering danger." Chu Ci explained.

This is also what Chu Ci discovered when she was studying her own superpowers. The direct killing power of her extra superpowers is indeed not very good, but if used properly, they can play an unexpected role.

This bracelet is the result of Chu Ci's combination of five different types of superpowers.

Jing Ke nodded. After staring at the bracelet for a long time, she couldn't help but hallucinate the small vine that had once been wrapped around her wrist.

"Chu Ci." Jing Ke suddenly shouted.

"Yes." Chu Ci responded subconsciously.

Jing Ke: "Bow your head."

Chu Ci swallowed, as if he had noticed something, and became unconsciously nervous when he lowered his head.

The warm lips touched his lips and then separated. When Chu Ci came to his senses, he only saw Jing Ke's smiling eyes.

"After the news is announced, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to you to ask about the situation. I won't delay you from doing your business." Jing Ke said with a smile, and after standing up, he patted Chu Ci on the back.

"You know where my room is. Remember to come and have dinner with me when you're done." After leaving this suggestive remark, Jing Ke left without looking back.

Only Chu Ci was left in the office, not knowing whether he should be happy or even happier.

-

Just as Jing Ke said, after she dropped this explosive news, Base No. 1 would be the focus of everyone's attention. The first person to bear the brunt would naturally be Chu Ci, the base commander and the person Jing Ke had specifically mentioned.

Ordinary people naturally cannot communicate with Chu Ci directly, but those who are base leaders basically have Chu Ci’s personal contact information.

So when Chu Ci came to her senses and sat back in her chair, she saw a series of unread text messages on her phone.

Chu Ci exhaled, rubbed his face, and entered into working mode.

With Jing Ke's final words, the twenty-two bases named were temporarily unable to find trouble with Base No. 1. The biggest problem they needed to solve was how to keep the mutants in the base.

Tough measures will definitely not work. If the mutants, whose base number is many times larger than that of the evolvers, join forces to cause trouble, they might even need to completely reshuffle the management of the base.

Letting them leave would be even more unacceptable. A month is enough time for them to find a safe way to other bases. Without human intervention, the number of people who voluntarily stay in the base may not even be one-tenth of the total number.

Neither this nor that works. What should I do?

Is it really true that the only way to obtain the potion is to kneel down to Base No. 1? Or is it that I have to beg for mercy from others and pay a high price in exchange for the No. 1 Evolution Potion?

Except for the 22 base commanders who were in a passive and entangled state, the other base commanders chose to send their congratulations as soon as possible, and then asked indirectly about the specific distribution of the medicine and the selling price.

Chu Ci picked out the important ones to reply to, then summarized the responses to related questions, directly pulled everyone into a group chat, and sent the file to them.

After all this busy work, it was already evening.

Fortunately, Chu Ci had set the alarm in advance, which allowed her to stop thinking about working overtime to process documents. After checking in the mirror to make sure that her clothes were okay, she headed towards the research institute.

But when he reached the gate of the research institute, Chu Ci suddenly realized a problem.

Excluding the previous time, today seemed to be her first official visit to Jing Ke's house. Shouldn't she go empty-handed, but bring more things?

Chu Ci looked up at the sky. The setting sun had already dyed half the sky red. If she went back to get something, she would probably miss dinner.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Ci had no choice but to walk into the research institute and went straight to the door of a room on the basement floor.

Before Chu Ci could even knock on the door, the guard at the door had already pressed the button and reported inside, "Director, General Chu is outside the door and seems to have something to ask you."

Three seconds later, the metal door opened automatically, and Chu Ci could only walk in with empty hands under the watchful eyes of the guard at the door.

"Chu Ci, this way." Jing Ke waved in a friendly manner, revealing a green bracelet on her wrist.

Chu Ci nodded, said a simple hello to Jing Pingping, and then straightened his back and sat next to Jing Ke.

Jing Pingping ignored Chu Ci, as if she had been treated as if she were air. There was no unhappiness on her face, but there was no sign of welcome either.

After finishing dinner with a bit of trepidation, Chu Ci volunteered to take charge of the post-meal cleaning work. Wearing an apron that didn't fit him well, he washed the dishes in the kitchen carefully.

Jing Pingping's gaze lingered on Chu Ci for a long time. She turned back to look at Jing Ke, who was sitting on the side eating fruit slices, and asked, "Are you sure it's her?"

Jing Ke nodded, "Chu Ci is a very good person, Sister Pingping, you don't have to worry about her bullying me."

Jing Pingping frowned slightly, and there was still a hint of disapproval in her eyes.

"Sister Pingping, even if we were together, she was the one who came to live at our house, not me." Jing Ke emphasized seriously, "Sister Pingping, it's just that there's one more person at home. I wasn't abducted, I was the one who brought her here."

After looking at her child for a long time, Jing Pingping was the first to compromise as usual.

"You're not a child anymore. I won't interfere with your choice." Jing Pingping sighed and said, "But if she bullies you, you must tell me immediately and I'll help you beat her up."

"Don't worry, Chu Ci will only be bullied by me now." Jing Ke assured, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Do you want to keep someone at home tonight?" Jing Pingping raised her eyebrows after seeing the rare expression on her child's face.

Jing Ke nodded, "Well, since we're here, let's stay here for a night."

Chu Ci, who was busy in the kitchen, relied on his excellent five senses to hear the conversation between the two people outside.

Chu Ci swore she hadn't intentionally eavesdropped; it was simply a coincidence. Even without using her powers, her hearing was far sharper than that of an average person, not to mention the fact that the kitchen was separated from the outside by a simple glass door.

But the question is, Jing Ke kept me here, is he trying to bully me?

Chu Ci didn't know what he was thinking about. His ears turned slightly red and his movements of washing dishes became faster.
