Chapter 339 Fool
The man quickly went back into his room, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
After the call connected, the man quickly said, "Cousin, something's happened."
On the other end of the phone, a woman with long, elegant hair sat at her desk, looking at various documents from the base with a frustrated expression.
I get even more irritated when I hear the voice coming from the phone.
Liu Heming was short-tempered. "Something's happened, something's happened, what happened now? Weren't you in charge of the Black Cube exchange? What could possibly happen? You're all a handful, idiots, you're all idiots..."
It's unclear who she was referring to when she uttered that curse.
In her eyes, the entire plan to exchange the black cube for the power-enhancing fluid was a stupid idea that only an incredibly stupid person could come up with.
Of all those black cubes, only two are real. As long as Dawn Base hides, they're just trading a bunch of power-enhancing fluid for scrap metal.
They can't really expect those who are searching to bring the real thing back, can they?
Idiot, idiot...
Unfortunately, this idiot happens to be the base commander, and once he gives an order, all you can do is obey.
No matter how much she tried to persuade him, it was no use.
Liu Teng said nervously, "Cousin, three women came today, bringing three truckloads of black cubes, tens of thousands of them. They want to exchange them for about two thousand vials of ability-enhancing fluid. Should we do it? Isn't that too much?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Heming threw the documents in her hand onto the table, her slender figure leaning weakly against the back of her chair, a feeble, bitter smile tugging at the corners of her bright red lips.
"Change it? Of course I'll change it! Didn't we specifically allocate you five thousand vials of ability enhancement fluid? Why are you worrying so much? As long as it's a black cube, as long as it meets the regulations, and as long as there's still ability enhancement fluid available, just change it!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone and slumped into her chair, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.
She said that this plan would not work. Cao Lie insisted that since Dawn Base could offer a bounty on their heads, why couldn't they offer a bounty on Black Cube?
Cao Lie also said that since they had plenty of power-enhancing liquid, there would definitely be power users willing to risk their lives. If the black cube was actually retrieved, they would be the ones who profited.
Even if there isn't a real black cube, it's still worth it to lose those 5,000 bottles of ability-enhancing fluid and recruit some ability users into the base.
Liu Heming sneered. Now look what's happened, someone's already taking advantage of the loophole.
Let her make a scene, she wants to see how this ends.
Having received the deputy base commander's approval, Liu Teng felt much more confident. He walked out of the room, head held high, a look of disdain on his face.
"What are you saying? Our Lie Xiong Base is a large and powerful organization, and we keep our word. As long as it's a Black Cube, we'll replace it with Ability Enhancement Fluid. We absolutely won't renege on our promise. Just wait, I've already called people to unload the goods and check the quantity. Once everything is verified, we'll give you the Ability Enhancement Fluid."
This was unexpected for Meng Shiwan. She shrugged and said, "Then we'll wait and see."
The three of them squatted in a row to one side, waiting to receive the power-enhancing fluid.
The three groups of people next to them originally wanted to hurry back to Shangguan City, but seeing the current situation, they were no longer in a hurry to leave. They were determined to watch this commotion to the end.
Two thousand vials of power-enhancing fluid! If they could manage to snag some of them, that would be fantastic.
These three women look like easy prey.
Soon, a group of superhumans arrived and began unloading the goods, checking each one to make sure it was a black cube, and not trying to fool them with lumps of iron anymore.
The black cubes are made of different materials, which is obvious at a glance.
If everything looks good after checking, put it on the scale to measure the quantity.
Meng Shiwan and the other two squatted by the side with their hands in their pockets, looking like three little beggars with their dirty clothes layered on top of each other.
Meng Shiwan sighed, "The Fierce Bear Base is indeed rich and powerful, and its word is its bond. They really meant it when they said they would exchange the Black Cube for the ability enhancement fluid. There were quite a few people online who were worried that they wouldn't exchange it. They are really being petty and judging others by their own standards."
Ye Sangyu: ? ? ?
Sai Xishi: ? ? ?
Weren't they here to wipe out the whole family?
Why did you suddenly start praising me?
Ye Sangyu seemed to have thought of something and also praised, "That's right, we were thinking of not giving it to us before, but we didn't expect that we were narrow-minded. The Fierce Bear Base really does what it says. As expected of a big base, it's really different."
Seeing that both of them had praised them, Sai Xishi decided to join in, saying, "The people at the Fierce Bear Base are really good."
Liu Teng was truly flattered and became increasingly arrogant.
He was quite proud. "That's right. We have the ability enhancement fluid. Who else has it? Besides Seed Base and Dawn Base, who else has it? We have it. The ability enhancement fluid is the foundation. In the future, our Fierce Bear Base will become stronger and stronger."
After saying that, he turned to look at everyone present and said, "The doors of our Fierce Bear Base have always been open to people with superpowers. If you are willing to join us, the treatment of people with superpowers in our Fierce Bear Base has always been excellent."
Everyone remained silent, none of them were in the mood for it.
Compared to the Fierce Bear Base, they preferred to join the Dawn Base, which had a better environment.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Teng felt a little awkward. He turned to the three people squatting down and asked, "What about you? Are you superhumans? Do you want to join our Fierce Bear Base?"
Meng Shiwan thought for a moment, then said, "Let me go into the city and see if it's as good as you say?"
Liu Teng became even more proud, "As long as you are a superhuman, no matter where you are, you will never be treated as well as you are at our Fierce Bear Base."
As long as these three women join the Fierce Bear Base, the two thousand vials of ability-enhancing fluid won't be a waste. They'll flow into the Fierce Bear Base's own ranks, strengthening their own people, so it's not a loss.
Meng Shiwan nodded seriously, "I will think about it carefully."
It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep.
They were thinking about how to sneak into the base after committing a scam, and now this opportunity has come their way.
After the count was completed, Liu Teng took out a box of power-enhancing fluid and handed it to Meng Shiwan. "Forty thousand black cubes and two thousand vials of power-enhancing fluid. Take a look."
Meng Shiwan took the box and opened it. Inside, tubes of power-enhancing fluid were neatly arranged.
Meng Shiwan smiled and said, "I trust you. You wouldn't do anything to cheat me."
Liu Teng said proudly, "That's right."
Meng Shiwan looked up and saw more than twenty people watching the commotion, their eyes shining and their gazes fixed on the box.
If Liu Teng hadn't been standing nearby, they probably would have already started to snatch it.
Even Liu Mancang swallowed hard, his eyes filled with excitement.
They wouldn't even dare to dream of having so much power-enhancing fluid.
It's just too tempting.
Meng Shiwan reached into the box, grabbed a handful of power-enhancing fluid, and handed it to Liu Teng. "To be honest, we, along with our partners who haven't returned yet, are all thinking of joining the Fierce Bear Base. I think your position must be quite high. If we end up working together in the same base, we hope you can help us out."
