He Jiexiong was very satisfied with the result.
He walked up to Shen Jing, intending to reach out and pat her shoulder.
But then he remembered that he had awakened a superpower, so he quickly stopped his hand.
"Xiao Jing, sit down, sit down!" He Jiexiong pointed to the sofa in the living room. "It seems that awakening superpowers isn't difficult. Even an old man like me can do it. What do you think..."
He was just insisting he was still as sharp as ever, but now he's acting like an old man.
Shen Jing didn't expose him, but simply said, "It mainly depends on individual aptitude."
In the previous life, people with superpowers accounted for less than 10% of the survivors.
Even with Shen Jing's intervention in this life, she cannot guarantee the chances of humans awakening superpowers.
Shen Jing was no longer as anxious about the butterfly effect caused by changing the plot.
Now it has a bit of a "what's the use" vibe to it!
Come on, let's do it!
However, the amount of spiritual spring water in the space is also limited.
If she wants to obtain more spiritual spring water, she will probably need to exchange it with her luck points.
According to Gu Yan's deduction, although after Shen Ting's death, her luck value could no longer affect whether she was killed by Shen Ting, but after her luck value was reduced to zero, her soul might be erased in this world...
That's about the same as the previous "spend your life" scam.
At the same time, the number of crystal cores is also limited, and the probability of obtaining a crystal core at present is not high.
Shen Jing advised Elder He not to be too optimistic, "Besides personal qualifications, there is also the development of awakening agents and obtaining crystal cores."
Her intention was to remind He Jiexiong of the research institute.
He Jiexiong skipped the topic and said, "The crystal cores are inside the heads of those zombies?"
However, the research institute has captured zombies for research, and they didn't find anything like this!
Shen Jing was very envious of his physique, which only required one crystal core to awaken his superpowers.
But not everyone is so lucky; she wasn't.
She believes that the vast majority of people would not be.
"It can be found on zombies or mutated plants and animals, but it's not 100% certain."
"Understood!" He Jiexiong sighed; this was getting a bit tricky.
"Some people may need more crystal cores..."
"Oh? You only need one?"
“No, that’s not true.” Shen Jing looked at the lucky old man in front of her. “He Qing only managed to awaken after consuming several pills.”
"How much? Let's write an IOU. The He family doesn't tolerate owing people anything!"
Shen Jing looked at He Jiexiong, who continued to play dumb, with a half-smile, "What about the research institute?"
He Jiexiong was speechless at her question.
He didn't want to go back on his word. Since he had promised Shen Jing to let her take charge of the research institute, he could do it.
But he was worried about her situation. If she went to the research institute, wouldn't she be treated as the murderer and the director?
That's not a good title!
Moreover, the people in the research institute will definitely unite in their hatred and ostracize Shen Jing.
"Can't we change our request?" He Jiexiong was now genuinely treating her like a younger member of his own family.
Shen Jing shook her head, "Yes, there's only one requirement that won't change."
He Jiexiong had no choice but to agree.
He took a walkie-talkie from the cabinet next to him. "Xiao Chen, come up here."
He then pointed at Shen Jing with his finger and said, "She has too strong a temper and is too stubborn."
Shen Jing smiled, her eyebrows arching, seemingly unconcerned about his opinion.
She was just a salted fish with no other choice.
Taking things as they come is certainly the best option, but the current external and internal circumstances are forcing her to move forward.
But to her surprise, He Jiexiong nodded slightly and continued to comment, "He's still soft-hearted; he has a sharp tongue but a soft heart!"
Shen Jing didn't know where he got his conclusion from.
She only came up to make a deal with him; according to He Jiexiong, it was more like she was doing charity work.
"Mr. He, I won't change my mind." So don't say anything more.
"You, you're a bit like me when I was young!" He Jiexiong saw that she had given up the awakening agent and crystal core without reservation, and that he had indeed successfully awakened, so he no longer had any doubts. "Even the most ruthless people have weaknesses!"
"..."
Oh, so you think you're soft-hearted.
"If you're going to praise someone, don't include her, okay?" Shen Jing smiled helplessly. "How could I possibly compare to you?"
When He Jiexiong was young, he truly emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Shen Jing had the utmost respect for this, and she sincerely felt that he and Old Zheng were both heroes.
But she isn't...
She is just an ordinary person.
Just then, there was a knock on the door; it must be the young Chen that Old He had mentioned.
"Knock knock knock"
"Mr. He, it's me, Xiao Chen." It really was him.
He Jiexiong hummed in agreement. "Come in."
After Xiao Chen came in, He Jiexiong explained things to him.
In short, to put it simply, He Lang will no longer need to go to the research institute.
He delegated all matters, big and small, to his assistant at the research institute, and the person in charge was changed to Shen Jing.
Upon hearing He Jiexiong's words, Xiao Chen looked up slightly and glanced at Shen Jing.
He Lang had been vying for the position of director of the research institute, and the He family had also put in considerable effort to support him in order to counter the Huang family. Unexpectedly, the final prize was snatched away by the young woman in front of him, who had just nearly struck He Lang dead with lightning.
I don't know what she and Old Master He talked about, but it doesn't matter now.
Importantly, he will also need to cooperate with Shen Jing in carrying out a major purge of the research institute!
After all, when live human experiments happen, someone has to be held responsible.
Moreover, they even set their sights on the new dean...
