In the dense, boundless forest, a chilling aura hung overhead. Jiang Yue looked at Lin Ruo with unwavering determination. If he were an ordinary person, this promise would have no effect, but he was the legion commander of the B City base. When Xu Chenfeng heard his words, he felt that Jiang Yue had gone mad.

The B City Legion is equipped with the latest weapons and undisclosed defensive systems. Just these few features alone demonstrate the legion's formidable combat power. For him to say such things to Lin Ruo from this position—what if Lin Ruo orders him to kill Ye Lin and Chen Yu because she wants to become the base commander?!

The person standing opposite him was no ordinary person. He could make up for it if he couldn't keep his promise. This was Lin Ruo. If he didn't fulfill his promise to her, it would be like handing his life over to the King of Hell. He could die at any moment.

Xu Chenfeng stepped forward, trying to smooth things over, "You..."

At this moment, Lin Ruo chuckled and interrupted Xu Chenfeng. All the superhumans present looked at her. Her eyes, hidden behind her mask, were slightly curved. Although she was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes.

Although Lin Ruo was smiling, she was thinking to herself that trust was indeed a rare thing for her, something she simply didn't possess.

However, this psychological counseling was just a matter of lifting a finger for her. Since he wasn't afraid, she naturally wasn't either. She would set clear prices and cooperate fairly.

"No need for such a solemn promise. I'm not that interested in this. I can do psychological counseling, in exchange for one hundred level-three crystal cores."

The price was undeniably high, but Jiang Yue's eyes lit up upon hearing it, and Xu Chenfeng also breathed a slight sigh of relief; as long as there was a price, that was good.

The other ability users were secretly astonished. Even a level 4 mental ability user in the base would only pay 5 level 3 crystal cores for a single mental therapy session. Lin Ruo was actually asking for such a high price!

Jiang Yue came with Xu Chenfeng this time, so he naturally didn't bring that many crystal cores with him. He turned to Xu Chenfeng and said, "Old Xu, lend them to me first, I'll return them to you when I get back."

Xu Chenfeng looked at the space-type ability user next to him. The person nodded and took out one hundred level-three crystal cores from his space and handed them to Lin Ruo.

Lin Ruo scanned the crystal cores with his mental energy to confirm the quantity before putting them away. "You will have to provide the crystal cores for the awakening yourself."

Jiang Yue immediately broke into a smile. Since the apocalypse, he had been carrying a heavy burden in his heart and hadn't smiled so genuinely in a long time. "Of course, it's a transaction. How could I possibly let you add a crystal core to it?"

He took a level-three crystal core from Xu Chenfeng and handed it to Lin Ruo, asking, "Is this okay?"

Lin Ruo nodded, reached out and took it. With a thought, a futon suddenly appeared on the ground. She raised her chin at Jiang Yue and said, "Sit down."

Jiang Yue obediently sat down, his movements without the slightest hesitation or delay.

Lin Ruo turned to Xu Chenfeng and said, "After he finishes the psychological counseling, he may fall into a coma. Nobody knows how many days he will be in a coma. When that happens, will you send him back to the base in City B?"

Xu Chenfeng nodded. Jiang Yue was here to help him. The two had some friendship, so he would naturally help with such a small matter if he could.

With a flick of her finger, Lin Ruo sent the level-three crystal core flying into the air, slowly hovering above Jiang Yue's head.

At the same time, A-Liu's willow branches and Lao Bai's branches immediately wrapped around Lin Ruo and Jiang Yue. A-Fu, A-Shou, and A-Lu also transformed into their original forms. Although they were still lying on the ground, a dangerous aura was spreading from their bodies, and the superhumans outside clearly felt their scalps tingle.

Even the mutated plants in the mutated forest a few hundred meters away all stood upright, making these people feel what it meant for death to be approaching, and they felt the surrounding temperature drop by several degrees.

Xu Chenfeng glanced to the side several times, wondering if these mutated plants and animals would eat them all while Lin Ruo was giving him mental counseling.

Lin Ruo, who was surrounded, was also helpless. She looked at the branches that surrounded her and thought it was really unnecessary to go to so much trouble. She only needed to spare a small amount of spiritual energy. If too much spiritual energy was injected into Jiang Yue's body, he simply couldn't withstand it.

The wisp of spiritual power that she split off had no impact on Lin Ruo's ability to do anything, as she was already used to controlling her two abilities separately.

But since things had come to this, she could only speed things up.

A thin thread of spiritual power was separated, guiding the energy in the crystal core suspended in the air to slowly enter Jiang Yue's body. The moment the energy entered Jiang Yue's body, his body suddenly stiffened, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

Lin Ruo's spiritual power carried the energy from the crystal core through Jiang Yue's body. The energy accumulated more and more in his body, and Jiang Yue's trembling became more and more intense. Large beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, wetting his mask.

Some of this energy remained in his body to improve his physique, while the rest converged towards Jiang Yue's head, eventually forming a colorless crystal the size of a grain of rice in his brain. As more and more energy gathered, this crystal was slowly growing.

Having reached this point, Lin Ruo was on the right track. He withdrew his mental energy and waited for all the energy to gather together so that his crystal core could be fully formed.

Jiang Yue's crystal core is also colorless, and it's unknown what kind of superpower it might be, but whatever it is, it's better than being an ordinary person.

Noticing that Lin Ruo's body had moved, A Liu and Lao Bai knew that their master had finished, so they slowly put the branches back.

The moment Lin Ruo's body was revealed, the surrounding superhumans clearly felt the temperature rise immediately. They all breathed a long sigh of relief. It was really terrifying just now. They were all surprised that the mutated beast next to them would open its mouth and bite someone in the next second, but only a few minutes had passed.
