Chapter 207: Evolution
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Chen Feiyu, I heard that you lost today.”
Five n dressed in camouflage uniforms stood in front of the pot, blocking the rays of the sun.
“At least I’m still alive.” Chen Feiyu said while gently fanning the fla under the pot with a broken paper fan. He spoke without even looking up, “I am never going to be a drug dealer. And don’t even try bringing my sister into this. If she were to find out that the money used to treat her body ca from dealing drugs, she would kill herself.”
Amongst the n in the camouflage uniforms, there was one who had a pin on his shoulder that signified the ranking of a Federal Lieutenant. He smiled and squatted down. He asked as he fanned away the ashes from the fire, “You’ve been in Luang Namtha for almost three years now, haven’t you?”
Chen Feiyu did not deny and nodded. It was too easy for a general-level organization to find out about things like this.
“Three years...” said the man with the lieutenant pin as if he was speaking to himself. “That is not a short period of ti at all. Previously you were at your peak as a five-star. Three years later you are still at five-star. Besides the purification of your combat skills, nothing else seed to have upgraded.”
“What about it?” Chen Feiyu remained indifferent and continued to maintain the rate of the Shandong fire. “My ability and capability are limited. A five-star warrior like is not at all worthy for General Wang to send daily invites.”
Qin Fen’s thick eyebrows twitched a few tis. He felt an obvious difference in the heart rate of the man beside him the mont he heard Chen Feiyu admit that his strength had not improved within these three years.
“Hehe, perhaps.” The people did not refute Chen Feiyu, but instead nodded and said, “To be honest, I think that you have limited talent as well. But our general has his eyes on you. And so, he even prepared an evolution pearl for you.”
Qin Fen looked at the man, sowhat taken aback. Even though it was said on the information that Wang Hao was very generous, the actual reality was still pretty shocking compared to a simple information presentation.
Evolution pearls were very different from violent pearls and armor pills.
As martial artists trains to improve their own strength, the chances of encountering a bottleneck phenonon would also increase. For so, they could no longer break through the bottleneck after entering the teor level. Others would probably be lucky enough to only encounter a bottleneck after entering the Cot level.
When people could not overco the bottleneck no matter how hard they train or ditate, they would start considering the use of external forces to help them overco the bottleneck.
So so people put their eyes on the biochemical beast, and so people put their eyes on the dication.
The evolution pearl was a kind of dicine that was created for martial artists who were unable to break through their bottleneck phenonon.
This was a drug similar to drugs used for the cleaning of marrow, each of which required a lot of expensive materials to make.
It was ironic that with the developnt of technology, people were still unable to make dicine like the evolution pearl despite the high precision that technology could achieve.
Countless people have tried to use the most accurate instrunts to co up with the most accurate manufacturing process in order to create the evolution pearl.
As a result, all of these people failed. Instead, pharmacists could only produce such dicine with a certain amount of luck by using their bare hands and observing with their eyes.
The price of this pearl was very expensive; it could be said to be around the sa price of advanced biochemical beasts.
However, because of this, the evolution pearl did not guarantee a 100% success rate in helping these martial artists. All it could do was increase the possibility of them breaking through their bottleneck.
Moreover, the evolution pearl would be almost worthless to martial artists who were already extrely powerful.
Naturally, the effectiveness of an evolution pearl would be higher for teor level martial artists than those of the Cot level.
The ability of such expensive dicine allowing a certain breakthrough could also explain why the ability of most sons from wealthy hos were superior to those of average hos.
With the power of money, sons of the rich could use this for accumulation. After all, if one evolution pearl did not work for those who are truly wealthy, they could always get a second or a third one.
Of course, the pearl would first have to be available for purchase.
To a drug lord like Wang Hao, an evolution pearl was only worth a small amount. Regardless of anything else, his power only rose up recently. It wasn’t of a family-based traditional power.
Qin Fen noticed a slight twitch of the muscles located at the roots of Chen Feiyu’s ear with the corner of his eye.
“I am grateful for the overwhelming love given by General Wang,” Chen Feiyu looked up directly into their eyes, “But I would never be a drug dealer.”
The second lieutenant who spoke was in shock. Even for martial artists who were not facing a bottleneck phenonon, an evolution pearl would still be of great appeal to them.
No one can guarantee that they would never encounter bottlenecks in the future. The second lieutenant had never heard nor seen of soone who had entered a bottleneck phase for at least three years, and still managed to resist the temptations of an evolution pearl.
“Are you not going to even consider it for a while?” The lieutenant was hesitant on giving up, “Our general does not require you to do this for a lifeti. You are free to leave once you have made a corresponding contribution. And if then you wished to get inco from places like Grueso Madness in order to provide for your sister, you would have the advantage of accessing higher levels and winning bigger prizes.”
“Thanks, but no thanks.”
Chen Feiyu took down dicine pot, scooped up the condints from the dicine soup, and showed a respectful gesture of sending off a custor.
The lieutenant let out a sigh, “Alright then, I’ll see you again soday.”
Chen Feiyu sighed and let out a forced smile. He waited for the five to go far and said, “If that little dummy knew that I was fighting at Grueso Madness and using that money to pay for her treatnt, she would probably stop taking her dicine. Dealing drugs? That would be equivalent to killing my sister.”
Qin Fen looked quietly at the back of Chen Feiyu. This man was not soone who was easily liked at first glance. The murderousness that was emitted from his whole body in the fighting ring lacked more rcy than any of the other fighters.
But today, this back was full of love.
Qin Fen also had to let out a sigh. It wasn’t easy to evaluate a person comprehensively.
“Is it bitter?” Chen Feiyu lovingly asked his sister who was drinking the herbs.
“Not at all,” there was a smile on the girl’s sallow face, bringing out a little trace of pink, “The dicine you brew is sweet.”
Chen Feiyu took out a sugar cube from the jar. How was it be possible for herbs to be sweet? The bitter sll would already itch your nose when it is being brewed.
Qin Fen looked out the old window and pretended to look at the sky. He got up and said, “It’s a little late, we shall head back first.”
“Now? Let’s have dinner together.” The girl made a warm invitation.
“Nah.” Qin Fen smiled and said, “Next ti.”
“Brother, I’ll send you.”
Chen Feiyu walked out of the door and once again whispered in Qin Fen’s ear, “Rember, the black-clothed n incident today never happened. It’s for your own safety.”
“You should bring her to a legitimate hospital for treatnt.” Qin Fen looked forward and took a deep breath, “That is what a good responsible brother would actually do.”
Chen Feiyu slowed down his pace. All of a sudden, the expression on his face changed. He finally shook his head and sighed, “So things are not as simple as you think they are.”
“I have seen a pair of half-brothers...” Qin Fen walked alongside Chen Feiyu, “The elder brother was more competent than you are. At least he never pretended to be great.”
Chen Feiyu stood silent for a few seconds, hesitant emotions were shown in his eyes, “I have never been great, and I have never been competent. Thank you for the reminder.”
Without further interaction, Chen Feiyu turned and walked into the house.
As they made a turn around the corner, the silent Lin Ling suddenly spoke, “They are not blood brothers and sisters.”
Qin Fen was slightly startled by the lack of warning before talking. What is with this woman who barely even spoke, much less gossiped?
“All the information collected here should be exchanged,” Lin Ling explained the reason for her own speech and continued, “The sick woman’s na is Feng Ying. Her body has always been weak ever since she was a child. She rarely leaves the house, nor does she have any friends her age. When she was fourteen, she saw a person who fainted outside his house from the second floor of her house. She kindly provided this person with water and food, as well as two tablets that could cure fever. That person was Chen Feiyu.”
“Not long after, Feng Ying’s house caught fire. Both her parents were burned to death. Chen Feiyu rushed into the fire and rescued her. The two rented a small room in Nantes, and lived a simple life.” Lin Ling lifted Qin Fen’s arm and put her body against his, “The two lived there for a few months. Chen Feiyu was responsible for making money for her treatnt and their living. Everything was very calm. Until one day, the son of a local politician entered the room when Chen Feiyu wasn’t ho. He had the intention of raping Feng Ying. Chen Feiyu, who happened to have just arrived ho caught him, and imdiately beat him to death.”
“That is why they escaped here?” Qin Fen was surprised. Chen Feiyu was actually willing to risk his life and anything in the world to look after Feng Ying, just because of a small deed.
“Yes.” Lin Ling said all this, yet she did not seem to have the slightest feelings, nor personal opinions. Perhaps, if it were to be told by anyone else, it would probably be a story of burning love. But now, it sounded like a literature report, “Political powers are huge. If they did not leave, they would have both died. They even issued a wanted order. Feng Ying’s citizenship was canceled. They had no choice but to flee to this country.”
“My conversation with Chen Feiyu was very simple.” Qin Fen also learned Lin Ling’s way of speech that was simple but concise, “Wang Hao wants to recruit Chen Feiyu, but he failed even with the temptation of the evolution pearl. Also, Chen Feiyu wants us to forget about the black-clothed n, to not rember it at all.”
“Wang Hao knows Chen Feiyu? Seems like useful information.” Lin Ling simply spoke her mind, paused and said, “Black-clothed n... Feng Ying had ntioned that she had seen black-clothed n around her yard on the day of the fire. She thinks that it was only a hallucination, as the police did not find any black-clothed man.”
Qin Fen stopped. Looking at Lin Ling, he said, “You an, Feng Ying was implicated by Chen Feiyu?”
“I don’t know. Don’t think about things that are unrelated to the mission.”
Lin Ling reached out and stopped a taxi.
