Chapter 1642: Chapter 872: The Approaching Storm (Part 2)

He Jinqiu: "Ren Xiaosu, it’s an Easter egg left by Ren Xiaosu, concerning the path to godhood. But he only described how he used the Black Eye of Truth to preserve his mental will, preventing his will from merging with the world. After his body transcended the demigod boundaries, he then completely released all mental will, completing the transformation from human to god. Henceforth, you will be independent of the world’s will, and you will become a world unto yourself."

He Jinqiu: "He also said in the end... do not reconcile with the world. What you insist on holds significance, even if your sharpness causes you to be battered and bloodied by the world. Those sharp edges are the most precious things inside your body, your blood, and your spirit. I didn’t quite understand what this phrase meant, whether it relates to becoming a god, or if it’s just a piece of motivational advice, not sure."

Because there is only one successful case, Ren Xiaosu, people cannot accurately analyze the necessary conditions for the path to godhood using overlapping elements.

Even Ren Xiaosu may not be sure that the Knight’s path is necessary. To be precise, the path to godhood was never a singular one.

Precisely because Ren Xiaosu himself cannot determine this, He Jinqiu wants to take a gamble.

He has no choice.

Qing Chen nodded: "I understand what you mean, I’ll help you with this gamble. But if you become a test subject, I’ll find a way to imprison you until you learn how to restrain your desires."

He Jinqiu laughed: "If I really turn into a gray-skinned test subject, you’d better just kill me. I can’t accept becoming such an ugly monster. Remember to burn me to ashes, don’t let anyone see my ghost-like appearance after death."

Boss He remains the meticulous Boss He.

Qing Chen also laughed, he turned and went out, pulling Bolton aside and asking, "Marquis, can you talk to the Fifth Princess and help find a drug coexisting with cancer? As long as you help obtain this drug, even if it’s against previous merits, I won’t be poached by Silver City."

Bolton’s eyes brightened, he quickly nodded: "I’ll make the call now."

At this moment, Bolton is competing with Lao Shiyi, Qing Chen made such a simple request, how could it not be fulfilled? It’s not a particularly precious drug, just rather obscure.

He immediately dialed the phone and opened the speakerphone, the Fifth Princess didn’t hesitate, directly agreeing and stating that the research lab for this drug is under her pharmaceutical company.

At most 8 hours, her people could obtain the drug and deliver it to Silver City as quickly as possible.

The Fifth Princess reminded: "This drug currently has significant drawbacks, it is not recommended for He to inject it. If He loses his mind after injection, it must be killed."

It seems the Fifth Princess is very clear that this drug can create ferocious, gray-skinned test subjects, those subjects have a strong craving for protein and could easily turn into man-eating monsters.

But He Jinqiu already thought about the consequences.

After hanging up, He Jinqiu was noticeably more relaxed, whether alive or dead, there would finally be a result.

However, two hours later, the Fifth Princess suddenly called: "The laboratory located in Storm City was suddenly attacked by mysterious experts of unknown identity. The attackers destroyed all materials and took away the only two drug samples! Most critically, the AI did not alert us, nor did it issue a capture order. The attackers left no traces and escaped through the blind spots of surveillance."

Qing Chen and He Jinqiu looked at each other, feeling this event was too coincidental.

They had just asked Bolton to make this request, and the lab was attacked immediately afterwards?

The security measures of that research lab were not strict, but the Skynet System not raising an alert caught Qing Chen’s attention.

The opponent should have decided to act on the spur of the moment, otherwise the timing wouldn’t be so coincidentally aligned.

Such a person who decides to act spontaneously can arrange a perfect route, making the Skynet System unable to find clues or traces?

Even Qing Chen would find it difficult!

At a certain moment, He Jinqiu even suspected Qing Chen had sent someone to steal those two drug samples, but he knew this was impossible.

So now there are three possibilities.

The first is that the Fifth Princess didn’t actually want to provide it but didn’t want to offend Bolton, so she staged a play, pretending to fetch it then falsely claiming it was robbed.

The second is a Drama Master sensed something through prophecy, then arranged this robbery.

The third... When Qing Chen thought of the third possibility, he fell into serious contemplation.

He Jinqiu stood in place, his essence, energy, and spirit seemed to dissipate quite a bit, even his expression had become much more fatigued.

Qing Chen glanced over, Boss He smiled: "This might just be fate."

"I’m heading back to Storm City to investigate the culprit," Qing Chen stated solemnly: "I don’t believe the opponent left no clues."

He Jinqiu said: "It’s sure to be too late, and the opponent might have directly destroyed the drugs as well... I’m going to wash my face."

Saying so, he walked into the bathroom, Qing Chen could only hear the sound of rushing water, while Boss He seemed to be in a daze, until half an hour later before coming out of the bathroom.

He Jinqiu typed on his phone to show Qing Chen: "Before I die, help you destroy the Empire’s TOP military base, this is the last thing I want to do, where are the coordinates?"

Qing Chen replied: "700 kilometers south of Silver City."
