Chapter 1 Something Happened

Qing Cang didn't know what was happening in the meeting room. He took the evolution potion from Li Chenzhou's room and headed towards the meeting room.

"Oh? Elder Yun? Where are you going?"

On the way, Qing Cang ran into Elder Yun and couldn't help asking curiously. He knew that Elder Yun was currently presiding over the meeting, discussing how to deal with Li Chenzhou, so why was he coming out now?

"Qing Cang! I won't be involved in this matter!"

Looking at Qing Cang, Elder Yun sighed and said, "Besides, you might be wronged later. Remember, no matter what, prioritize the overall situation and don't say too much. Just listen to what they say!"

"Huh?"

Qing Cang was stunned for a moment! Then he immediately reacted: "It's those bastards from the four major families, right? They're jealous of the effects of the evolution potion, right?"

"Alas! Just know it in your heart, don't say it out loud!" Elder Yun shook his head: "Anyway, I'm leaving first, and you must be patient. Control your bad temper, because if you mess things up this time, I won't be able to protect you!"

"Mess things up? I brought back humans from another world, prepared to cooperate with him, and even got a potion that can improve our levels. That's messing things up?" Qing Cang laughed angrily: "This is just those bastards from the four major families wanting to snatch good things as soon as they see them. Don't they think about it? We are the ones on the front lines fighting the Devourers, while they hide in the base. What good is this stuff to them? How many experts from the four major families have actually gone out to fight the Devourers? They all have high levels, but they have no combat experience at all, acting like turtles hiding in their shells. What's the use of having a hard shell? Once the Devourers really wipe out our military forces, do they think they'll have a good ending? A bunch of idiots who don't understand anything but think they know everything!"

"Be careful with your words! Qing Cang, we can't provoke conflict between the military and the four major families. The overall situation is the priority!" Elder Yun said with some heartache: "Our enemy is the Devourers, not our own people!"

"The overall situation? What overall situation? We take the risks, they get the benefits! Is that the overall situation?" Qing Cang said angrily: "We take on any dangerous task. How many casualties do the brothers in the military suffer every day? The four major families take the most resources, cultivate so many experts from their own families, but are unwilling to fight, saying they want to hide their strength! Take this mission for example. We have to be caught in prison fighter jets and use analyzers hidden on our bodies to collect information. Why are all the people from our military? The Avengers Alliance are all awakened ones, I can understand, but what about the people from the four major families? Why don't they have to participate in this suicide mission? Elder Yun, I know you've been protecting us, and I'm grateful, but some things can't be done too excessively. The Devourers are our biggest enemy, but when facing the enemy, some people deliberately use us as cannon fodder to preserve their own strength. Why should we willingly die to fulfill their ambitions? The overall situation is important, but everyone must take care of this overall situation, not just some people using this overall situation to benefit their own families!!!"

"Alas! You're still young!" Elder Yun sighed, shaking his head: "Remember, even if the people from the four major families go too far, they are still our people. Once a conflict arises, it won't be good for anyone!"

"Elder Yun, it's because of your thinking that the four major families are becoming more and more rampant and unscrupulous!" Qing Cang shook his head: "Although it is said that taking a step back leads to a brighter future, you can't keep retreating, because one day you will retreat until there is nowhere to retreat. Our concessions will only make them feel that it is their due, because they are used to it!"

"Qing Cang! You have such a precious potion, why don't you hurry up and hand it in? What are you doing wasting time here? Are you trying to embezzle it?" At this moment, the person sent by Liu Buzhu to monitor Li Chenzhou arrived, and seeing Qing Cang chatting with Elder Yun, he couldn't help but shout coldly.

"Hmph! Just a dog from the Liu family, who gave you the courage to yell at me?" Qing Cang didn't give this guy any face at all, retorting: "I'm reporting to Elder Yun. He was appointed by the higher-ups to preside over this matter. Do you have any objections?"

Saying that, Qing Cang took the potion and handed it to Elder Yun, saying: "Elder Yun, that person is called Li Chenzhou. According to him, they have a method to use mutated crystal cores to make this potion. This is called an evolution potion, and it can ignore levels to improve the abilities of the capable, but the higher the level, the higher the failure rate, and this failure rate is directly proportional to the level of the user, ten percent per level! In addition, using this potion to improve the level will definitely grant a skill, and there is a high probability of comprehending a talent! Compared to mutated crystal cores, this evolution potion is much better! Moreover, the cost of this is not high. A level-five crystal core can be used to make one!"

Qing Cang introduced the performance of the evolution potion. However, when talking about the cost, he directly changed a level-four plus a level-two to level-five, because in his opinion, what Li Chenzhou said was the cost. Then, when he asked him to help make it, he would have to pay some price. It seemed that a level-five mutated crystal core should be about right.

"Evolution potion? Is this thing really that powerful?" Elder Yun took the evolution potion in amazement, held it up and looked at it carefully, with some shock on his face.

"Elder Yun, it's better to give this thing to Young Master Liu, right? You are no longer in charge of this matter!" Liu Buzhu's lackey heard the function of the evolution potion, and his eyes lit up. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Elder Yun.

"This..." Elder Yun hesitated for a moment, looked at Qing Cang, Qing Cang looked at him firmly and shook his head. Seeing this situation, the lackey was anxious and actually reached out to snatch the evolution potion from Elder Yun's hand.

Elder Yun hesitated slightly, but did not dodge, allowing the man to snatch the evolution potion!

"Hmph! What are you dawdling about? How dare you delay Young Master Liu's time?" After snatching the potion, the man sneered, then squinted at Qing Cang: "Also you, you have to explain in detail your conversation with that person after you go in. Now, hurry up and come with me to see Young Master Liu!"

"Bang!" Before this person could finish speaking, Qing Cang had already rushed up and punched him in the face, while snatching the evolution potion back from his hand, looking at him with an angry face and saying: "Damn it, you're just a house slave, who gave you the courage to speak to an elder in this tone? Also, I'm from the military, do you think you are qualified to order me to do things? Son of a bitch!"

"You dare to hit me? I tell you, you're done for. I'm from the Liu family! Hmph, so what if you're an elder? It's just because you have to take care of those lowly people, you were given a few places. Do you really think that these people from humble backgrounds can have a say in the higher levels? Idiot!" The person who was beaten was furious, stood up and pointed at Qing Cang and cursed: "You wait, when Young Master Liu comes, I want you to kneel on the ground and beg me, otherwise, not only you, but even your family will have to bear the wrath of my Liu family!!!"
