Chapter 316 Tricked Again
In an extremely luxurious room on the lowest level of the Chuangyuan Base, Xiao Yuye stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the azure ocean outside.
You can see schools of fish swimming around every now and then.
A middle-aged man in a suit, looking neat and tidy, walked in. "Mr. Xiao, the Lie Xiong Base said they found Black Cube No. 2 and have sent it over. Judging by the time, it should arrive soon."
Xiao Yuye turned around, his young and handsome face full of doubt.
"Found black cube number 2? So fast? Isn't that a bit too easy? I feel like something's not quite right."
"The several ability users we sent out to retrieve the Black Cube before didn't return. How come they found it so easily this time?"
Ever since he set his sights on Meng Shiwan, he hasn't gotten anything good out of her.
The first mission to steal the Black Cube Wind-type Ability User failed, and he died.
The two ability users sent out to steal the black cube a second time also died.
The black cube, which was so hard to obtain, was found so easily within Shangguan City? Xiao Yuye found it hard to believe.
Lin Fu replied, "It is said that the black cube is exactly the same as the information we provided. The texture of the black cube, including the pattern of the numbers on it, is all correct. We will know the specifics once the black cube arrives and we study it."
Xiao Yuye felt a surge of anger when he thought of Meng Shiwan. "Damn woman! If it weren't for the fact that the power-enhancing liquid only has a limited effect on advanced ability users, I would have assembled an army of ability users to kill her long ago."
Despite being repeatedly thwarted by Meng Shiwan, he remained remarkably calm, even using the power-enhancing fluid to make the Fierce Bear Base cannon fodder. Was it because he didn't want to directly destroy the Dawn Base, seize the Black Cube, and capture Meng Shiwan alive?
It's something he can't do.
Research at the Creation Base has revealed that the ability-enhancing fluid is not a panacea.
For low- and mid-level ability users, taking ability enhancement fluid can significantly increase their strength.
However, this method of accumulating strength by drinking ability-enhancing liquids is useless for advanced ability users.
The claim that drinking 1,000 vials of the seed base could raise a level 7 ability user to level 8, and drinking 10,000 vials could raise a level 8 ability user to level 9, is utter nonsense.
Once a superhuman reaches level seven, advancing to level eight is not simply a matter of drinking superhuman enhancement fluid.
It also requires some talent and insight; without these, even drinking tens of thousands of bottles of power-enhancing liquid won't help.
Xiao Yuye had considered creating an army of superhumans to sweep across the inland areas.
However, all of his superhumans were stuck at level seven, with none reaching level eight.
The inland areas are dominated by the seed base. Sending out these level-seven troops would likely result in their own demise, with only themselves suffering losses.
Using firearms for a direct assault? That's a joke. In terms of firearms reserves, no country has as many as an inland seed base, which possesses the firearms reserves of an entire nation.
It wasn't that Xiao Yuye was particularly calm; rather, he simply couldn't afford to be anything but calm.
He could only think of other ways to steal the black cube, capture Meng Shiwan alive, and complete the task assigned to him by the old man.
Lin Fu said calmly, "Planning is up to people. Being impulsive and easily angered is the behavior of a fool. President Xiao, you should calm down. Emotional fluctuations affect your thinking."
Xiao Yuye snorted coldly, "As expected of the person the old man sent to monitor me, you're lecturing me now."
Lin Fu corrected him, "I'm here to help you."
Xiao Yuye ignored him and turned to walk outside.
Lin Fu asked, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Yuye: "I don't need to report to you what I do."
The twelfth floor of the Chuangyuan Base is a research lab. Xiao Yuye arrived at the twelfth floor and entered one of the rooms.
There were many people in white coats waiting in the room, and on a platform in the middle of them was a metal box.
One of the doctors in white coats stepped forward, opened the metal box, and a disgusting, rotten stench instantly filled the entire room.
Ugh~
Everyone present felt nauseous upon smelling the stench, wishing they could vomit up their breakfast.
As soon as Xiao Yuye entered the room, the stench made him turn around and go back out, leaning against the corner of the wall and vomiting bile.
"What the hell smells so bad?"
It wasn't just smelly, it also had a rotten smell, a strong and peculiar stench.
The person inside quickly replied, "Mr. Xiao, it's the Black Cube. The people from the Fierce Bear Base said that this Black Cube was fished out of the dry toilet and delivered here in its original state."
Xiao Yuye was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead. "Idiots, all of them idiots! We told them to send it back intact, but we didn't tell them to send it back with the excrement on it. Didn't they know how to clean it up?"
And that Meng Shiwan, is she out of her mind? Hiding a black cube in a latrine, they're all freaks, they should clean it up already.
The people inside, suppressing their nausea, cleaned the black cube before placing it on a pile of miscellaneous instruments for testing.
The black cube that even the seed base couldn't handle, they actually have research equipment for it here.
This alone is enough to show that the Chuangyuan Base has a much deeper understanding of the Black Cube.
After much fiddling around, a conclusion was finally reached.
"Mr. Xiao, the black cube is fake; it has no energy fluctuations whatsoever."
Standing at the door waiting for news, Xiao Yuye felt dizzy.
He was angry.
"Meng Shiwan, you son of a bitch, you tricked me again."
He had no idea how this woman's twisted mind came about.
How did she come up with the crooked idea of making a fake black cube and throwing it into a latrine?
Xiao Yuye called Lin Fu, "Uncle Lin, the black cube is fake. Tell those idiots at the Fierce Bear Base to send more people to look for it. If they can't find the real one, they won't get another vial of our ability enhancement fluid."
Meng Shiwan, far away at the Dawn Base, sneezed violently several times.
She blinked. "I suspect someone is secretly insulting me."
Wu Ming joked from the side, "You've done so many things that have offended people, it's normal for someone to scold you, it would be abnormal if no one scolded you."
Meng Shiwan glared at him. "What do you want from me?"
After the enrollment expansion proceeded smoothly, Meng Shiwan stopped staying on-site and returned to her small garden to eat, sleep, play games, and enjoy life.
Meng Shiwan felt that she was not destined to enjoy life. She hadn't even had two days of enjoyment before Wu Ming came looking for her again.
Wu Ming said, "Didn't you tell us to keep an eye on the situation at the Fierce Bear Base? News came from the Seed Base, which is relatively close to the Fierce Bear Base, that a large number of superhumans from the Fierce Bear Base have been mobilized and are heading towards Shangguan City."
Hearing this, Meng Shiwan was in a good mood, a slight smile playing on her lips. "It seems they've discovered the black cubes they brought back last time were fake, hence the large-scale deployment this time."
Since they've come to us of their own accord, there's no need to think about going back.
