Chapter 409: Experiment
She knew that even if her brother and the others disagreed, the young man wouldn’t do anything to them. He would use another method to test them. The process would be more intense than cultivating the secret technique, but it might not be as dangerous.
The toughness of the apocalypse made Big Milk clear about what kind of world it was. If not for her brother and these friends having the talent and courage to bring back many demon crystals, she would be like the other maids in the hotel. One level-one crystal and people could sleep with her for a night. Then, she would have to lay in bed for three days to be able to move again. Save up for a month to be able to spin the wheel once but with little to no chance of getting a potion. Such a life would repeat, and it would have no end. One day, you would die on the bed, and your corpse would be thrown aside. The person who ‘killed’ you would compensate the hotel owner, not your relatives.
So she didn’t think that this new boss was despicable. On the contrary, she made her mind up. She believed that with her brother’s personality, he would make the same choice.
There were dangers, but that represented a chance. In the apocalypse, chances were much more important than life.
Moreover, this new boss said it might cause side effects, but what if it didn’t? What would they get? What would that represent?
Big Milk could imagine a day when she could sit on the same level as that Peace Hotel boss.
Truth also proved that people would make choices to get stronger.
Everyone agreed with Ye Zhongming’s suggestion. Even the youngest 14-year-old girl was the same.
“There are two types. One is for close combat, and one is for mental energy. Think about which you want to choose.”
When resting, Ye Zhongming gathered the 12 of them and explained to them the cultivation path.
“Apart from me, no one is cultivating these techniques yet, so I am unsure if you can cultivate both simultaneously. If not, you wouldn’t be able to change after you select one.”
Ye Zhongming’s words calmed them from their excitement, and they started thinking carefully.
After all, this affected their future development. If they couldn’t cultivate both simultaneously, choosing one meant giving up on the other. Who knew which one they would be more talented in? Although this concerned luck, if you considered it and weighed it, you would have a higher chance of succeeding.
Of course, Ye Zhongming didn’t give them full reins. He did a simple test regarding mental energy and gave suggestions based on the results.
In the end, two chose the mental energy method. The coincidence was that it was the oldest Big Milk and the youngest little girl. Only two girls in the team and the other guys chose the close combat methods.
After making the decision, Ye Zhongming taught the initial part of the Soul Refining Technique and Scorching Flame Technique to the 12 of them.
These people closed their eyes and started cultivating. Ye Zhongming knew that after he was unlocked from the chains of the gachapon wheel, he had started a new path. Although they were testing things out, if they succeeded, they would have the ability to deal with the unknown and mysterious parts of the apocalypse.
Maybe he was thinking too much before he became the strongest, but… It was better than not preparing at all.
He looked at these young but maturing faces, and he felt like they were more capable than himself to represent the hope of Earth.
The wilderness of the apocalypse wasn’t safe. Although there weren’t many zombies, there were many mutated lifeforms. If one spent too long in one spot, mutated lifeforms would come looking. Ye Zhongming guarded them for half a day and killed 30 mutated lifeforms. This made him know that the apocalypse was approaching his last life. The relatively safer wilderness was turning into huge danger. The survival space for humans started to shrink, and their chance to adapt had ended. What happened next was the more cruel and bloody massacre.
Be it between humans or between races.
The 12 of them took turns to wake up. Maybe because they were young, they could all sense the secret technique. What surprised him was that Big Milk was the most talented. With his strong mental energy, he could sense it very clearly.
But none of them could compare to Ye Zhongming to grasp the technique immediately. That was a regret. This meant that they needed time to form combat strength.
But one person didn’t.
Ah Yang, Big Milk’s brother. The boss of this group.
Ye Zhongming called the two of them over and took two potions that he got from Peace Town, “Ah Yang, you are the most special here as you are evolved and used the evolution potion.”
The two didn’t know what he meant and looked at each other.
“I am not planning to let the others touch the potions. At least before I confirm some things, I am not planning to. As their captain, you need to be in charge. You can tell it to them; whoever dares to consume the potions can just die.”
Ye Zhongming was really calm, but Big Milk and Ah Yang both knew that he was experimenting, and he wouldn’t allow anyone to spoil it, even if they were the specimens. If they didn’t listen, he would clear them out.
“But you are different. You have used the potions, and I am already… Impure like me.”
Ah Yang wasn’t angry because Ye Zhongming said that. He was more curious about the latter half, like him?
“So you don’t need to hold back and just use the potions. So these two are for you. But don’t forget about cultivating the techniques.”
Ah Yang had the two-star and three-star potions injected into him, and he instantly became a three-star evolved. He felt like he was in a dream.
“How does it feel?” Ye Zhongming slapped his shoulder, “Do you dare to enter Ying City with me?”
