According to the numbers, three bottles of One-Star Strengthening Elixirs for three people is nothing to discuss.
But the problem is, the relationships with these three individuals are different.
Mo Ye is someone Ye Zhongming highly values and wants to recruit into his team. Furthermore, he had promised her previously, so it’s reasonable for her to receive a bottle of the Evolution Potion.
As for Liang Chuyin, Ye Zhongming's gut feeling is that her potential isn’t very high. In this apocalypse, the standard for assessing people is quite simple: are you strong enough, or will you become strong in the future? However, Ye Zhongming notices that Liang Chuyin has the delicate charm and allure that a woman should possess, but he just can’t see... the potential to become a strong individual.
Though one’s strength also depends on the investment made, compared to Mo Ye, this internet celebrity is fundamentally lacking a tier.
What’s even more troubling is Park Soo-young. This teacher’s saintly mentality is a taboo in the apocalypse; such a personality can not only endanger herself but also the people around her. So even if from a man's perspective, Ye Zhongming prefers this type of woman, once he discovered her personality tendency, he immediately excluded her from his list.
However, ever since leaving the armed department, this teacher has been following the team. Although she hasn’t made any contributions, she has worked hard. Just a moment ago, while mining the magic crystals, she showed great dedication, even fighting to protect the magic crystals. This is quite commendable for someone who usually pays attention to her image.
Yet because of this, Ye Zhongming hesitated. Should he give a bottle of the One-Star Evolution Elixir to Liang Chuyin and Park Soo-young?
“Anything is fine, whether it's fighting or something else,” Liang Chuyin stated.
Although her foundation is not as strong as Mo Ye's, and her figure is somewhat slender, when it comes to accuracy in assessing issues and decisiveness in making decisions, she is definitely the strongest among the three women.
Having just injected the immune potion, she has already realized the implications of the One-Star Potion. She displayed her determination, putting her stance before Ye Zhongming before he could refuse.
Even Ye Zhongming had to admit, this woman indeed has a very keen insight, and her timing in speaking is also excellent, her words capable of touching the heart.
“Obtaining this thing doesn’t necessarily mean luck. In the future, you'll face many unexpected situations, each one of which could be life or death. With powerful strength, I won’t let you go easily and we’ll fight together for my goals. Perhaps tomorrow, or even tonight, you might die. Have you thought it through?”
This was the first time Ye Zhongming spoke so seriously to Liang Chuyin.
“I know, I understand, and I’m clear. You saved my life, and as long as you give me the chance, I will always stand by your side, even when facing enemies stronger than us.”
The traces of the slap Ye Zhongming had given her last night were still visible on her face. Yet now, she spoke to the man who had struck her with an incredibly solemn and serious tone, leaving Ye Zhongming with no reason to refuse her.
Poor foundation, low potential... but at least she has heart; investing more in her later is all that matters.
“And you?” Ye Zhongming turned his gaze to the female police officer. “I promised you I would give you this power. You can choose now: after obtaining this power, will you leave or stay?”
Mo Ye’s expression was complicated.
Before this, she had intended to leave. The education and training she received over the years instilled in her a strong sense of mission and trust towards her country and organization, leading to immense loyalty.
But after encountering this man in the middle of the night, experiencing the terrifying situation in the tennis court, fleeing from the armed department, and the roaring truck plan, Mo Ye sensed that her mindset and thoughts were changing. Deep down, she wanted to maintain her current state, to embrace new power and a new world with this man.
