Chapter 689 Promotion to Four Ranks in Succession (Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"how is the situation?"

Inside the magnificent hall, an elegant old man calmly gazed at the chessboard before him.

At this moment, there was a chessboard in front of him.

He held the white pieces, while the other player held the black pieces.

At this point, his knight, pawn, and bishop had all been captured, and a black rook had invaded deep into the board, right in front of him.

"It's a minor issue, it can be resolved tonight."

A soft reply rang in his ears.

However, the response did not come from his side, but from the bracelet on his wrist, as if the old man was communicating with someone.

Upon hearing this response, the old man raised his head and looked ahead.

There was no one playing against him directly opposite him, nor were there any seats reserved for the players.

Behind the chessboard on the other side are wide floor-to-ceiling windows, and beyond those windows, the city's skyscrapers rise and fall like hills.

"I'm waiting for your good news."

The old man lowered his head and looked at the chessboard in front of him. He raised his hand, picked up the queen that had not been moved from the chessboard, and walked towards the black rook.

The Queen is the strongest piece on this chessboard.

Evolution from the Headquarters Building

"minister?"

Ishia walked down to the first floor, where the team leader of the pollution cleanup department, who was in charge of the work, stopped and looked at her.

“You continue,”

Ishia waved her hand, "Don't worry about me, you continue the investigation as planned."

She glanced around, walked straight to a four-seater pickup truck by the door, opened the door, and got in.

It seems she just wants to be somewhere else.

The group leader was about to say something, but seeing how quickly Ishia moved, he slowly shut his mouth.

Nancheng

Inside the clinic of Sienji.

Sinji looked at the paper in his hand that contained the secret recipe from 'Angry Man' to 'Traditional Martial Artist', then looked up at He Ao, and then at the corpse beside him. "How did you find these things and this guy?"

“He left behind something that could lead to him.”

He Ao said slowly.

“I have some of the auxiliary materials listed here. There seems to be some kind of force binding this guy's body, slowing down the formation of extraordinary items from his talent sequence. Now I can help extract his talent sequence.”

Sinji's gaze returned to He Ao, "But I don't recommend you do that. That strange power looks like some kind of pollution. This pollution is deeply intertwined with the power of the talent sequence. I'm afraid it will be mixed into the secret medicine when you extract the talent sequence. So what are you going to do with these secret medicines?"

"I'll use it myself."

He replied calmly.

"what?"

Sinji's eyes widened slightly, seemingly unable to believe what he had just heard. After a long while, he finally came to his senses. "Old man, are you crazy?"

He glanced at He Ao's waist and shoulders. "Leaving aside the pollution, the advancement of the talent sequence will cause a certain degree of damage to the body. Can your body withstand this kind of advancement now?"

"it should be OK."

He Ao glanced at his personal information in his field of vision. At this moment, his physical fitness had increased to 14.

During an outbreak, it can barely reach 27.

After reaching this number, the rate of improvement in physical fitness slows down significantly, indicating that Sito's body is nearing its limit.

Upon hearing Heo's words, Sinzi was speechless for a moment.

He looked into He Ao's eyes, trying again to persuade this 'reckless' old man, "Do you know what pollution is? Do you know what happens after you get infected with pollution? People who are infected will break down and become twisted, even turning into incomprehensible monsters."

“I know,” He Ao nodded calmly, “I have my own solutions.”

He reached out and picked up the corpse beside him, seemingly preparing to leave. "There are so many people in St. John's City, there will be another person with these materials."

"You old stubborn fool."

Sienji looked at He Ao, seemingly speechless with anger. He sighed, knowing he couldn't change He Ao's mind. He turned around and led He Ao to the deepest part of the house. "Come with me."

He Ao smiled, picked up the things, and followed him.

Sinji pushed open a small door, and a clean little white room appeared in front of Heo.

The room is surrounded by walls that have been transformed into storage cabinets, each with a small glass door through which you can vaguely see the various extraordinary materials stored behind the cabinet doors.

"The petals of the calming flower..."

Sinji, who was ahead, began searching through the cabinet for the items on the materials list that Heo had given him.

He quickly gathered all the materials.

He looked at He Ao, walked to the center of the room, and a control panel slowly rose up. "Put the person here."

He Ao carried the corpse over and placed it on the control panel.

Only then did Sinji have time to look at the blood-covered corpse. "He seems to have gone through a fierce battle."

He stared at the dried bloodstains.

In a daze, he seemed to hear an extremely faint, chaotic dance music playing in his mind.

He was a little distracted for a moment.

But just as the music started, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist. The external disturbance jolted him awake from his daze.

He looked up at He Ao, who was holding his hand, and was momentarily bewildered.

“I’ll do it,” He Ao stood in front of the control panel, half of his body blocking Sinji’s view. “You guide me, and I’ll operate it.”

Sinji then realized what was happening and looked at He Ao with some surprise, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Who do you think brought him here?"

He Ao glanced at him and laughed, "You've always thought I was joking?"

The surprise in Sienji's eyes turned into shock. After a long while, he finally reacted, took a half step back, and moved aside from the operating position. "You always manage to show power and methods that are beyond my comprehension."

He sighed, seemingly resigned to his fate, "Even if you said you were a friend of the gods now, I wouldn't be surprised."

"Friend of the gods" is a common saying among several southeastern cities near Saint John, meaning someone who is incredibly powerful and can always do things that ordinary people cannot.

He looked up at him and took

Picking up a scalpel, he casually remarked, "I do have many kind-hearted friends."

Si Enji, who was grinding materials with a mortar and pestle, looked up and glared at him. "Are your 'friends' really gods? Old man, I was just making an exaggerated remark, and you actually went along with it."

He Ao smiled and continued what he was doing.

Having learned from his previous experience, Sinzi stopped looking at the Nighthawk's body.

He and He Ao worked together to extract the talent sequence from Night Hawk's body and reconstitute it into a secret medicine.

The entire preparation process is very simple. Use the auxiliary materials in the secret medicine recipe to gradually draw out the corresponding talent sequence and integrate it into the auxiliary materials. Then, mix the fused materials with some auxiliary materials and re-blend them into a new secret medicine through methods such as burning or extraction.

As Sinzi initially stated, these talent sequences clearly contain inescapable contamination.

The final red liquid of the secret medicine always had a faint purple glow shimmering within it.

"Angry man, fighter, martial artist, martial arts practitioner."

Sinji instructed Heo to place the prepared secret medicine on the test tube rack.

The mithril test tubes containing the secret medicine seemed to effectively isolate some of the contamination, allowing Sinzi to observe them relatively easily.

"If there were a 'pharmacologist' present, relying on his knowledge of the medicinal properties of these extraordinary materials, there might be a way to separate the contaminants as much as possible."

"Talent Sequence 71: Pharmacologist?"

He Ao stood to the side and said casually.

If he remembered correctly, the scavenger leader Hathy from the previous instance had this talent sequence.

“I knew an old man in Wheatland who was a pharmacologist,”

Sinji sighed. "He was a very good person and taught me a lot about pharmacology. But so many years have passed, he must have passed away by now. We used to talk about responsibility and ideals together, but it seems he didn't achieve his ideals."

"He didn't achieve it, but perhaps his descendants will."

He Ao casually replied.

Upon hearing this, Sienji was taken aback, recalling the news he had previously found, and chuckled, "Yes, we are not alone."

Then he looked down at the four vials of secret medicine on the test tube rack. "Which one do you want to use for advancement? You should be at least D-rank now? Are you preparing to advance to a martial arts master? Have you prepared the ritual?"

“No,” He Ao shook his head and picked up the test tube with the lightest color, “Let’s start with ‘Angry Man’.”

"what?"

Sinji was stunned. "You're not a superhuman yet?"

"Yes."

He Ao looked at the test tube in his hand and slowly uncorked it.

"Is it too late for you to get promoted now?"

Sinji asked again in a trembling voice, "Normally, even if you master the talent sequence and advance to D-level, it will take at least several years."

"There's enough time."

He Ao responded and poured the liquid from the test tube into his mouth.
