In the temporary residence, the small group of people who had fully completed the awakening level upgrade gathered in the same room to discuss the next development plan.
The awakening level was generally upgraded to level seven, even Maomao was not left out, and the strongest Chen Yan was upgraded to level eight, which made the overall strength of the small group undergo a qualitative change compared to two months ago.
With the current strength of the small group, it will definitely not suffer any loss even if it faces a real small force head-on.
And because the average awakening level is too high, even if they are not a match for the strongest ninth-level awakener of a small force, if a conflict really occurs, then if they break up into small groups and cause trouble in an elite manner, they can definitely destroy a small force easily!
At the same time, due to the special nature of Chen Yan's blood, everyone in the small group has subtly become Chen Yan's "offspring".
It’s just that the people in the small group are not yet aware of the changes that have taken place in themselves.
I just feel more dependent on Chen Yan and trust him more.
They were willing to accept all of Chen Yan's requests and orders from the bottom of their hearts, and would not have the slightest thought of going against Chen Yan's will.
No one in the small group thinks there is anything wrong with this. Since the underlying logic of interest needs has completely changed, the people in the small group are extremely satisfied with their current situation and are content with it.
Everyone surrounded Chen Yan and became his most trusted right-hand man.
Naturally, Li Fengnian noticed such changes.
Li Fengnian didn't know what was going on. He just could keenly perceive that the way and attitude of everyone in the small group towards Chen Yan seemed to have undergone subtle changes in the past two months.
This change made the relationship between the people in the small group and Chen Yan even closer, even to the point where they were indistinguishable from each other!
Everyone seemed to trust Chen Yan without reservation and showed their willingness to give everything for Chen Yan.
Li Fengnian was very confused about this. He didn't understand why the relationship between the people in the small group and Chen Yan had heated up so rapidly.
If there was still a sense of distance between the small group and Chen Yan before, and in Li Fengnian's opinion, the two sides were more like partners, then now the small group and Chen Yan have truly become one...
What’s even more exaggerated is that this integration is not mutual, but rather a unilateral approach of the other members of the small group towards Chen Yan!
How great does one’s charisma have to be to be able to do this?!
At least in Li Fengnian's cognition, this kind of thing was completely beyond his understanding and shocked him greatly.
Another unpleasant change brought about by this was that Li Fengnian found himself becoming more and more like an outsider...
Ever since he started working with the small group, Li Fengnian felt like an outsider.
However, he initially just wanted to travel with Chen Yan and observe Chen Yan, so he didn't care even if he was treated as an outsider.
However, as the overall strength of the small group grew stronger, Chen Yan showed more and more characteristics, and Li Fengnian's sense of identification with the small group actually increased.
By now, Li Fengnian has gradually come to believe that the people in the small group are qualified to be his companions, so in the past two months, no matter what actions the small group takes, he will actively participate in them.
What Li Fengnian didn't expect was that he obviously tried very hard to integrate into the small group, and everyone in the small group treated him very well and did not show any difference in treatment towards him, but he intuitively felt that the distance between himself and the small group was gradually getting farther!
He didn't know why he felt this way, but he was willing to believe his feelings.
Puzzled, Li Fengnian thought seriously about what exactly was the difference between him and the other members of the small group. In the end, all the answers pointed to Chen Yan!
No matter how much he wanted to fit in, no matter how actively he participated in the group's activities, he could never be like the other people in the group, willing to devote everything to Chen Yan without reservation.
This may be the fundamental reason why an invisible gap appeared between him and the small group!
At the same time, Li Fengnian asked himself and knew very clearly that not only could he not do it now, he would never be able to achieve the level that other people in the small group could achieve in his entire life!
This caused Li Fengnian to feel quite frustrated.
After leaving the Oasis of Life, this was the first time in so many years that he felt so identified with a miniaturized group. However, he just couldn't fit into the group that he had such a hard time identifying with... How could he explain this?
While Li Fengnian was complaining to himself, Chen Yan had already taken out a large amount of food and water from his portable storage.
Everyone is a level seven awakener, Chen Yan himself is level eight, and Li Fengnian is level nine.
Such a team's demand for food and water is terrifying.
Although Kahn Company sells compressed energy bars with super high unit energy, which can greatly shorten the time of energy replenishment.
However, energy bars are expensive and not cost-effective. Except for the company's senior management, basically no one would choose to use energy bars instead of food for daily energy replenishment.
Basically, people who need it will only save a few for emergencies.
Secondly, the energy bars have no taste at all. Apart from replenishing energy, they have no other function at all, and the eating experience is extremely poor.
For Chen Yan, the process of eating itself is a kind of enjoyment.
Especially those high-sugar and high-calorie foods, as well as some foods with excellent taste, can provide great satisfaction to the taste buds and oral cavity when chewed in the mouth.
Perhaps for people in the wasteland, the most important thing is to satisfy the body's energy needs. As for whether the food tastes good, no one cares at all.
But in Chen Yan's eyes, life is to be enjoyed.
The sudden increase in his appetite allowed him to enjoy more of the pleasure brought by food, which was even more joyful than the continuous improvement of his awakening level.
Therefore, it is indeed difficult for people to share the same sorrows and joys.
"Come, let's eat and talk. We've gained a lot these days, even far exceeding our initial expectations. So, we can slow down the pace and relax together. We don't have to be as tense as before."
Chen Yan said with a smile.
Qin Yourong leaned on Chen Yan's shoulder and asked softly, "Do you want to continue with the collection mission? Although the zero-pollution water is no longer needed, the collection missions for spirits and chocolate are still pending."
