163: Chapter 162 100% Brain Development

After descending the mountain, Ye Xiu looked at the legendary "divine" minivan before him, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

Even if they didn't value him, they shouldn't have sent a minivan to pick him up.

This was just too insulting.

He could tolerate a lot, but this was crossing the line.

Seeing Ye Xiu's Face darken, the three men hurriedly explained, "A very important person arrived at the institute recently, so all the other vehicles were reassigned. That is why..."

Before they could finish, Ye Xiu interrupted, "An important person? Tell me more. I would like to see what kind of big shot has such great Face."

"The Witch."

"The Witch? Heh... I suppose I will have to go see for myself."

Ye Xiu sneered.

He made up his mind to use this so-called Witch as his first target.

Slam...

The car door was shut heavily.

The "divine" minivan sped down the road.

"Mr. Ye, the benefits at the institute are actually quite good. Being able to join the research institute is the greatest wish for those Jianghu con artists."

After driving for over an hour, the four of them had become somewhat familiar with each other.

The team leader, Wang Yuan, was a genuine practitioner of Tiger Fist and had real martial arts skills; dealing with a dozen or so thugs was more than enough for him.

The other two were team members, one named Li Dan and the other Zhao Ming.

Both were martial artists as well.

Ye Xiu looked at the scenery outside the car and asked, "By Jianghu con artists, do you mean those fortune tellers?"

"Exactly. Last time, there was a Great Master Jia who was bragging all over the internet, but in the end, he was kicked out of the institute. I really do not understand why the Director still believes in Daoist theories; none of them have any real talent."

"Is Daoism really that bad?"

"I do not know, but I have not seen a single ability user who Cultivates the Dao."

"Ability users, huh..."

Ye Xiu was somewhat surprised.

Everything in this world had actually evolved according to the memories of the Lord of Guixu.

In other words, during the era where the Lord of Guixu lived, Daoist theories had not yet become widespread.

The breeze outside the window carried a hint of chill.

The "divine" minivan was fast.

Thanks to Wang Yuan's superb driving skills, it took only a little over three hours to reach a military-controlled area.

After passing several checkpoints, the minivan finally stopped in an empty parking lot.

"Mr. Ye, it seems that the Witch is not easy to invite; the elites sent out have not managed to bring her here yet."

After getting out of the car, Wang Yuan led Ye Xiu toward the research center.

As they walked, he introduced the situation inside the institute, clearly treating Ye Xiu as a colleague already.

Looking at the modern buildings before him, Ye Xiu felt a sense of nostalgia.

Since the Great Xia started the Nine Cities relocation plan, technology had stagnated, and it was actually no different from the world in the memories of the Lord of Guixu.

After passing several more checkpoints, the two finally arrived at the central area of the research institute.

Several elderly men in white robes were observing an isolation room, studying something.

"Director Jiang, I have brought him here."

Wang Yuan said respectfully to an old man.

Director Jiang had stubble and wore a crumpled white work uniform. Only after the two arrived beside him did he turn around and look at Ye Xiu.

"Young man, not bad. I heard you have space-type abilities. Can you demonstrate them?"

"I am not here to perform like a monkey. I heard you are very interested in a so-called Witch. Do you want me to help invite her over?"

Ye Xiu's voice was somewhat cold.

To people like Wang Yuan, someone at the level of Director Jiang was a big shot.

But in Ye Xiu's eyes, they were nothing more than minor characters. What he wanted to do right now was to attract the attention of the higher-ups in Great Xia.

"Your strength rating is C, while the Witch is S. Young man, do not be too impulsive."

Director Jiang was somewhat displeased. Over the years, he had encountered many ability users who, for the sake of fame and fortune, overestimated their own capabilities.

Ye Xiu did not speak.

He simply snapped his fingers.

Following the sound of the snap, everyone in the entire research institute, except for Director Jiang, collapsed to the ground instantly, losing consciousness.

"Do I have the qualifications to talk to you about the Witch now?"

Looking at the slightly threatening young man, Director Jiang's expression grew serious. He was an A-rank ability user himself, yet when the young man before him acted, he felt a sense of heart palpitations.

There was no shortage of A-rank ability users in this research institute, yet they had all been taken down without any resistance.

After pondering for a dozen seconds, Director Jiang slowly spoke, "The Witch is an ability user cultivated through technology. She is the most perfectly evolved human, with a brain development rate reaching one hundred percent."

"Brain development?"

"Yes. Our human brain development is generally only around five percent. This Witch has reached one hundred percent."

"Heh... That is quite interesting."

Ye Xiu revealed a playful expression.

One hundred percent brain development—did that mean his Comprehension Ability was maxed out?

In this world, if his Comprehension Ability was maxed out and he passed down a Cultivation Technique, he wondered what kind of sparks that would create.

After asking for the address, Ye Xiu left the research institute with a hint of anticipation.
