After Jiang Yue said this, there was a moment of silence in the office.
In fact, all three of them knew that their request was likely to be rejected. Lin Ruo needed a limited number of crystal cores, and the number of crystal cores they had given her before was likely already at the limit for Lin Ruo.
Once their supernatural abilities reach their limit, they cannot continue absorbing them without increasing their mental strength. Currently, they have only developed a method to increase their mental strength by consuming their limit.
However, this method increases mental strength by too little each time, and the process is too painful. Most people with superpowers only try it once and are unwilling to do it a second time. The pain of having one's soul torn apart is simply unbearable for a human.
Even someone like Chen Yu, who had been through countless battles and was used to getting injured, still had to mentally prepare himself for a long time every time he practiced his mental strength. He even felt that if he continued to practice like this, he would go crazy one day.
No one can calmly endure this method.
However, Chen Yu and the others did not know that Lin Ruo usually cultivated her mental strength in this way, and had persisted for so long. There is always a reason why a person is strong. Only 1% is talent, and the rest is all the result of hard work.
Moreover, she has a mutated tree beside her that can help her enhance her mental strength.
Standing between Jiang Yue and Ye Lin, Chen Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Jiang Yue sighed slightly. If Lin Ruo could go to Qiyuan Base with Ye Lin this time, then they wouldn't have to worry about Ye Lin's safety at all.
Even though Qiyuan Base also has crystal energy cannons, based on Lin Ruo's performance yesterday, she is confident that she can guarantee Ye Lin's safety.
“Even if Lin Ruo doesn’t agree, Qiyuan Base won’t dare to do anything to me. You don’t need to be so bitter and resentful,” Ye Lin turned to look at the two people in the room who had fallen silent one after another, and smiled slightly. “Even if something happens to me, you two will take care of things at the base. I’m very at ease.”
...
At this moment, inside the office building of Qiyuan Base, Luo Jiaojiao opened the door of Yang Songming's office and stepped out. She ran into Zhu Zhengzhong, who was returning. She nodded to Zhu Zhengzhong expressionlessly before turning and leaving, no longer displaying the charming and alluring look that had once captivated Zhu Zhengzhong.
Zhu Zhengzhong didn't even glance at Luo Jiaojiao, and walked straight into Yang Songming's office, where he saw Yang Songming in a very good mood, playing with an ornament with a smile on his lips.
"What's making you so happy?" Zhu Zhengzhong asked, sitting down in the chair opposite Yang Songming. "Is it related to Luo Jiaojiao?"
Yang Songming glanced at him and replied with a smile, "If Ye Lin's injury is real, then Chen Yu and the others will definitely send him to our base after the trade fair. Then our plan can start. How could I not be happy?"
Zhu Zhengzhong blinked slightly, then smiled, "We've been planning this for so long, and it's finally about to begin. We should definitely celebrate."
He walked to the wine cabinet next to him and took out a bottle of fine wine. In this post-apocalyptic world, wine is a rare commodity. If it weren't for the high price of this bottle of wine, its owner wouldn't have risked his life to bring it to the Qiyuan Base, thus making it Yang Songming's treasured possession.
Zhu Zhengzhong walked up to Yang Songming's desk with the bottle of wine in his hand, along with two glasses. Yang Songming quickly snatched the wine from him. "Old Zhu, you've been eyeing this wine for a long time, haven't you? You finally got your chance today?"
Zhu Zhengzhong chuckled and placed the empty wine glass on the table. "Such a happy occasion definitely deserves a celebration. Old Yang, don't be stingy, just one glass isn't enough, is it?"
Yang Songming glanced at Zhu Zhengzhong, and finally opened the bottle. He poured a glass for each of them, and the two glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound. They both took a sip of their drinks and squinted their eyes in enjoyment.
"This is truly excellent wine!"
After drinking the wine, Yang Songming remembered that he still had something to ask, so he asked, "How's it going at the lab? Has the drug been developed yet?"
Zhu Zhengzhong smiled, his mood improving as he thought of the lab's recent achievements. "It's almost finished, and the reagent will soon be ready for official use."
“Give them another push,” Yang Songming put down his wine glass and picked up the polished ornament to examine it closely. “We’ll be using this soon.”
Zhu Zhengzhong nodded, "But our previous experiment seems to have made no progress. However, I heard that the base in City B is also researching this. Given their conditions, they should be able to do it faster than us."
Yang Songming smiled, placed the ornament in his hand on his desk, and then said, "No matter which side makes a breakthrough, it is our achievement."
Zhu Zhengzhong nodded in agreement. As long as things progressed smoothly, such a result could indeed be achieved.
He raised his glass to Yang Songming and said, "Then I must toast you in advance, congratulations."
Yang Songming laughed heartily, picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Zhu Zhengzhong's, "Congratulations to you both."
Under the hazy night sky, the open space in front of the B City base laboratory was brightly lit, as bright as day. The once somewhat empty space was now filled with stalls that had already been set up.
...
These stalls were all set up by ability users from other bases, and they displayed the most typical specialties of each base.
Just a week ago, this open space was stained with blood because of that great battle; a week later, it remains as prosperous as ever.
The much-anticipated trade fair has finally begun.
Lin Ruo drove an SUV to the entrance of the B City base.
"Sister Ruo, you've finally arrived! The trade fair at our base has already started. The commander is busy inside. He said that since you're here, just come in and find him. The trade fair is being held in the open space in front of the laboratory." The soldier immediately waved behind him, and the door behind him immediately opened wide to welcome Lin Ruo in.
Lin Ruo nodded to them and drove into the B City base. After entering the B City base, someone came to tell her where to park her vehicle. Lin Ruo parked her SUV in the parking lot and found that there were twenty superhumans patrolling back and forth in this one parking lot, so the safety was still guaranteed.
She took a black backpack out of the car and slung it in front of her. Immediately, a green branch extended from the bag. The tender green branch first touched Lin Ruo's cheek, and then wrapped itself around Lin Ruo's wrist.
This is A-Liu. After this upgrade, A-Liu's abilities have improved again. Its original body, which could only shrink to a height of tens of centimeters, can now shrink to a few centimeters. When planted in a pot the size of a fist, it can follow you around.
Sensing the noisy crowd around her, Ah Liu's willow branch curiously reached out to the side.
"Ah Liu, don't worry."
