40: Medicine!

Ye Su nodded.

The situation was critical.

If it weren't for relying on the urine of a large group of men, their group would have been trapped and died in that karst cave by the mycelium.

This is called emergency avoidance!

"Alright, it seems you encountered many unreported dangers during the mycelium incident."

Li Qing has high intelligence.

He can guess some things.

Hearing this, Ye Su wanted to complain.

The report was made by Cui Hu.

Probably adhering to a 'serious' attitude, he omitted many details.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

For example, the 'loss' of Spirit Medicine, the 'loss' of Professional weapons, etc...

If everything were detailed, how could it be manipulated!

"Come, take a look at this!"

As he spoke, Li Qing led Ye Su and Black Tiger into a sealed laboratory, where there were many samples.

mycelium, blade mountain grass leaf—both were present.

"In the Yunnan-Guizhou Region report, there's the ecological niche competition you mentioned," Li Qing said;

"Actually—"

"It's all nonsense!"

Ye Su scratched his head, thinking it's just speculation, no need to take it so seriously. That idiot Cui Hu even wrote that down.

"Last time when we eradicated the blade mountain grass leaf, I already discovered it contains a very special component."

"It's just that after the mycelium arrived, I quickly fell into an illusion, otherwise I could have easily produced the original solution here."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Su.

Mo Xiaoyu is the key!

If Li Qing hadn't given up Mo Xiaoyu, the mycelium incident wouldn't have caused much of a stir.

The blade mountain grass leaf samples were already in the lab; as long as one stayed clear-headed, it was just a minor issue!

Ye Su rubbed his nose.

"Besides, I also discovered another component in the mycelium!"

"Look, this is the extracted and replicated original solution!"

As he spoke.

Li Qing operated the machine, turning the original solution into a mist and spraying it toward the blade mountain grass leaf.

The next second.

The blade mountain grass leaf quickly withered, visibly withering until it completely rotted.

"A very peculiar confrontation!"

Li Qing said;

"Some substance in the mycelium can kill the blade mountain grass leaf, and some substance in the blade mountain grass leaf can kill the mycelium."

"Ecologically, there's no 'life-or-death' struggle between these two."

"Such mutual inhibition is unreasonable. So, Ye Su, what can you think of?"

Ye Su: "Destiny!"

"The destiny of the protagonist!"

Black Tiger grinned, even unable to hold back a laugh.

Ye Su's idea is too far-fetched.

But Li Qing suddenly had an epiphany;

"I think what you said makes sense!"

Black Tiger: ??

Wait, let's all be rational, is this explanation reasonable?

"Huh?"

Ye Su was also stunned; he really just made that up.

After all, scientifically, this explanation is nonsense.

"Don't be surprised. After that Rain Water at the Beginning of Spring, the only truly threatening organisms in the whole world are the mycelium and Grass Blade Mountain!"

Li Qing said;

"I have to step out of the realm of science."

"Protagonist!"

"The theme of evolution is the protagonist of heaven and earth. Whether it's Grass Blade Mountain or mycelium, once either gains intelligence, it will become a Dominator-level existence."

"So, when two protagonists appear in one realm, naturally there are ways to kill each other."

"This explanation, concluding it as destiny, is very reasonable!"

Li Qing isn't a conventional old scholar; he accepted something as absurd as the global Professional descent, so what's strange about destiny?

"This is one line of thought, or rather, when some existence or population takes absolute initiative in the evolutionary process."

"Then, its counter will appear in the second protagonist."

"It's like... well... the story between the Devil King and the Hero."

Black Tiger and Ye Su were dumbfounded.

Director Li, you are truly advanced!

However, beyond shock was admiration for the researcher.

Nothing is taboo!

Practicing metaphysics in the lab—this is real!

So, coming back to the point, the blade mountain grass leaf issue is resolved too, right?

"Director Li, this original solution that inhibits Grass Blade Mountain..." Ye Su asked.

"I've already uploaded it; the Yunnan-Guizhou Region will handle it!" Li Qing said;

"With large-scale spraying entering the water system, except in experiments, the blade mountain grass leaf will go extinct in the wild!"

"That's good!"

Ye Su said.

He felt somewhat relieved.

He was the one who opened Pandora's Box, but in the lab, the box was closed again.

"Research is very important!"

Li Qing made a summary and, at the same time, walked to another cabinet, took out a test tube containing a golden potion.

Gently shaking it, strange ripples shimmered inside.

Just like the golden ripples flowing on the leaf of that blade mountain grass leaf king back then.

"Ye Su, do you think it's possible we can create a potion that makes people Awaken."

"Hmm... that is, break the human body's conventions, obtain a potion like Professionals, surpassing the theoretical limits of human data."

"Although not as good as the rain falling from the sky, as an auxiliary enhancement potion, it should be able to gradually push people toward Awakening."

Researchers believe in research changing the world.

This is so Li Qing!

Or rather, the mycelium incident made him understand the significance of Professionals.

If there were many Professionals.

Or if everyone were a Professional, wouldn't that help overcome many, many difficulties?

"The theory is beautiful."

Ye Su said.

"Reality is harsh?"

Li Qing continued;

"Hmm, seems I thought too much!"

"Alright, you two go out first. I'll handle something and come out, then help you see what things are best to exchange for currently."

"Okay!"

Ye Su hurried over; besides Li Qing wanting to see him, he naturally wanted to get some information from Li Qing to see which items are most valuable to exchange for.

After the two went out.

Li Qing watched their backs, shook his head with a smile, and thought to himself;

"Madness! That is the greatest power in this world!"

After saying this.

He opened the test tube potion in his hand and drank it all in one gulp!

The golden, ripple-like potion poured into his mouth, like a ball of magma entering his body.

Li Qing exhaled a long breath of hot air...

"Mmm, tastes good!"

---A moment later.

Li Qing walked out of that higher-specification laboratory.

Holding a tablet, he came to Ye Su's side.

"Didn't wait impatiently, did you?"

He said;

"The rewards from above haven't been issued yet, but you can already lock in some items from the exchange list."

Ye Su rubbed his hands; finally, it's harvest time.

Especially Physique.

Others have reached the limit, but he hasn't gotten there yet—a bit frustrating!

However, the first thing Li Qing said was;

"Your Physique hasn't reached the limit, but I suggest you don't exchange for Spirit Medicine."

"I got internal information from the Capital; Physique limits achieved through one's own training are stronger."

"I suggest you exchange for artifacts!"

At this point, Li Qing's eyes were shining!

Artifacts.

The only thing in the global Professional system that cannot be understood!
