Meng Shiwan struggled desperately in the apocalypse for three years. After death, she was reborn back to three hours before the apocalypse began.
Remembering the betrayal by her own family in...
Chapter 346 A complete idiot
Liu Teng called Liu Heming, his tone boastful, "Cousin, I did something big. Didn't I tell you last time that three women exchanged two thousand vials of superpower enhancement fluid?"
They just came again and took another two thousand bottles of power-enhancing fluid. But don't worry, I've found a way to keep them. I recommended them for jobs at the cannery. As long as they're part of our base, those four thousand bottles of power-enhancing fluid will still belong to our base; we haven't lost out.
Upon hearing this, Liu Heming was completely stunned. "You mean, those three women brought a total of 80,000 black cubes and exchanged them for 4,000 vials of ability-enhancing fluid?"
Liu Teng readily agreed, "That's right, they originally said they still had black cubes to transport, but I told them to hurry up and get them into the cannery, otherwise I really wouldn't have that much ability enhancement fluid left. Aren't I smart?"
Liu Heming cursed, "You idiot, those are 80,000 black cubes! There might not even be 80,000 in the entire Shangguan City. Where do you think these 80,000 came from? And what are the identities of those three people?"
Liu Teng: ? ? ?
He was a little confused. "What identity?"
Liu Heming cursed again, "Idiot, don't make any rash moves. Keep them calm and wait for my news."
She hung up the phone and got up to walk upstairs.
Upstairs was the office of Cao Lie, the general manager of the base. When she pushed the door open, she saw Cao Lie talking to several assistants as if they were giving each other instructions.
Upon seeing her arrive, the group fell silent and stared at her.
Liu Heming's face was cold. "The people from Dawn Base have arrived. Liu Teng said he was going to send them to the cannery. What should we do now?"
Cao Lie glanced at her and said, "Send them inside."
Liu Heming looked on in surprise, "But how could a place like a cannery possibly be..."
"Nothing is impossible. Send them in, but don't mess things up."
Seeing that Liu Heming was about to say something more, Cao Lie said coldly, "You don't think you're the only smart one, do you? Do you think I don't know that those three people are from the Dawn Base? Not only do I know, but I also know that those three people are Meng Shiwan, Ye Sangyu, and a lunatic. I'm just waiting for them."
Liu Heming suddenly realized something, "So, you did this whole thing about exchanging the Black Cube for the ability-enhancing liquid on purpose from the very beginning?"
The idea of ​​exchanging black cubes for ability enhancement fluid is flawed. The black cubes sent by those people couldn't possibly be genuine; it would just be a waste of the ability enhancement fluid. Liu Heming had been against it from the beginning.
Now it seems things are not so simple.
Cao Lie snorted coldly, "I've been waiting for Meng Shiwan to come. We've provoked her many times before, and given Meng Shiwan's personality, she can't just stand by and watch us cause trouble. She'll come sooner or later."
This time, she happens to know how to make fake Black Cubes in exchange for power-enhancing liquid. How can she not take advantage of this opportunity?
Do you think I didn't prepare in advance? I mixed an ability inhibitor into that batch of ability-enhancing fluid. It's a new product developed by the Creation Base, and it's not very stable yet. I don't know what kind of chemical reaction it will have when mixed with the ability-enhancing fluid, but it should have some effect.
Let's send them to the cannery and trap them like turtles in a jar. Hasn't the Chuangyuan Base been saying they wanted to capture her alive? Isn't this our chance?
They've already drunk our power-enhancing fluid, quite a lot of it. They practically delivered it to our doorstep this time.
After saying that, he burst into wild laughter, as if victory was already in sight.
Liu Heming's eyes darkened, and she curled her lips into a smile. "The base commander is quite the schemer. I'll have Liu Teng let them in right away."
After leaving the office, she went to inform Liu Teng.
After receiving Liu Heming's support, Liu Teng finally gained confidence.
He felt he had done something truly beneficial for the base: he had saved four thousand vials of ability-enhancing fluid and recruited three ability users.
Liu Teng walked up to Meng Shiwan and the other two. "Let's go. I'll take you there myself. It'll save you a lot of trouble."
If he doesn't take them there himself, how will others know that he recruited these three people?
Moreover, they'll be working on the same base from now on, so building a good relationship with such a generous and capable superhuman can only be beneficial.
Meng Shiwan smiled and said, "That would be a lot of trouble for you."
Liu Teng tried to get closer to him, saying, "Hey, with our relationship now, why are we saying such formal things? Come on, come on, I'll take you to the cannery right now."
Meng Shiwan and the other two drove a large truck, with Liu Teng sitting in the passenger seat to give directions.
"Keep walking along this main road until you reach the edge of the sky."
Meng Shiwan frowned. "The edge? The cannery is on the edge of the sky?"
Liu Teng said proudly, "No, you'll see when we get there."
Meng Shiwan asked no more questions and drove as Liu Teng instructed.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Liu Teng happily took out the power-enhancing liquid that Meng Shiwan had given him, carefully opened a vial, slowly poured it into his mouth, and then licked the residue on the bottle opening, afraid of missing a single drop.
Compared to his solemn demeanor, Meng Shiwan and the others' previous behavior of drinking the power-enhancing liquid was indeed no different from Pigsy eating ginseng fruit.
Liu Teng savored the liquid in his mouth, then slowly swallowed it. His expression of enjoyment instantly twisted, and he looked at the empty bottle in his hand with a puzzled look.
Meng Shiwan glanced at him. "What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good? Ability enhancement liquid shouldn't have much flavor, right?"
"No, not at all. I'll have another one to try."
Liu Teng carefully opened another one to try, but his brows furrowed even deeper. "Something's not right. Why does this taste different from what I've had before? Didn't you notice it before?"
Meng Shiwan smiled enigmatically. "I couldn't tell the difference; they all tasted pretty much the same."
"Really? Is there something wrong with my sense of taste? I'll have another one to try."
Liu Teng tasted another vial carefully, then said definitively, "This tastes wrong, absolutely wrong. The ability-enhancing liquid I used to drink definitely didn't taste like this. What's going on? Could it have been diluted with water?"
If Cao Lie saw him like this, he'd probably be so angry he'd smash his head in.
Will the flavor of the enhancement fluid mixed with the ability suppressant be correct?
If it doesn't taste right, then don't drink it. Why are you making such a fuss? Are you afraid the person next to you doesn't know there's something wrong with the power-enhancing fluid?
You idiot, a complete idiot.
Unfortunately, Cao Lie isn't here; only Liu Teng is jumping up and down in frustration.
He finally managed to get a hundred or so bottles of power-enhancing fluid from this generous woman, but now he's being told that there's something wrong with these power-enhancing fluids.
How could he not be furious?
Is it possible to get a hundred or so vials of superpower enhancement fluid anytime?
Unconvinced, he drank a few more vials, finally concluding, "These power-enhancing fluids are wrong, there's definitely something wrong with them. I'm so angry! No wonder the base was willing to spend five thousand vials of power-enhancing fluid to exchange for the Black Cube, it turns out they were diluted with water. They have no effect at all after I drank them. It's infuriating! Are all my hundred or so vials wasted? I'm so angry!"
He reluctantly urged Meng Shiwan, "Are all four thousand of your bottles problematic? Should we go to the base to settle accounts and exchange them for better ability-enhancing fluid? Just remember to give me another hundred or so good ones."
Meng Shiwan: ...
It's truly a blessing for the Fierce Bear Base to have such an idiot.
