Chapter 59: Energy Liquid

Hearing Wang Kun say this, Chen Yusheng thought about it for a moment.

If it was just holding a title and wouldn't hinder his cultivation, then it wasn't impossible to agree.

He saw it very clearly; the reason Wang Kun was desperate to have him hold a position in the Base was, to put it bluntly, to make everyone feel at ease.

In the eyes of people like Wang Kun, as long as Chen Yusheng held a position and took the Base's benefits and power, he would be tied to the same boat and wouldn't turn around to destroy the Base.

As for Wang Kun, after his observations just now, he had also realized:

It was not at all that Chen Yusheng was being controlled by the Zombie King; rather, the Zombie King Xiao Jiu followed Chen Yusheng's lead from beginning to end, looking to Chen Yusheng's intentions before doing anything.

Someone who could keep the Zombie King under control like this was someone the Base had to win over at all costs.

Chen Yusheng pondered for a moment and asked, "I can hold the title, but can I designate Li Ruixi to help me manage the Ability User Administration?"

"Of course! Absolutely no problem!" Wang Kun agreed immediately without a second thought.

His goal was to stabilize Chen Yusheng; as long as Chen Yusheng was willing to hold the title, he didn't care at all who handled the actual management.

"I can't, I really can't." Li Ruixi waved her hands hurriedly, her face full of panic, "I don't even have abilities, how could I possibly manage so many Ability Users? I'll definitely mess it up."

Wang Kun hurriedly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. If you don't know how, we can teach you, and there will be people to guide you."

"That won't work either, I don't like managing these things." Li Ruixi shook her head like a rattle-drum and pushed her mother forward, "Why not let my mom do it? She is an Ability User herself, which makes her much more suitable than me."

Li's mother was stunned on the spot: "Me? Can I do it?"

"Auntie can definitely do it." Chen Yusheng also nodded.

He could see that Li Ruixi truly did not want to deal with these trivial matters.

Seeing this situation, Wang Kun immediately went with the flow and said, "I think that works! There is no one more suitable than Ms. Wu! How about this, Ms. Wu Xiuli, you will serve as the Deputy Director of the Ability User Administration and preside over daily affairs. Rest assured, as long as you agree, all the Base's cultivation resources will be prioritized for you, and we will do our best to help you raise your ability level!"

After speaking, he hurriedly looked at Chen Yusheng and added, "Of course, the lion's share of the cultivation resources will definitely be reserved for you, Mr. Chen; it will absolutely not be lacking."

Chen Yusheng was a bit curious and asked casually, "What exactly are these cultivation resources you speak of?"

Wang Kun immediately explained, "Our Base's cultivation resources are mainly Energy Liquid refined from Zombie Crystal Cores and Mutated Beast Crystal Cores through many processes. When Ability Users inject this Energy Liquid, their cultivation can improve very quickly."

"Oh? There is such a thing." Chen Yusheng became interested all of a sudden.

"If Mr. Chen hasn't seen it, I will have someone send a few vials over immediately!"

Wang Kun was very proactive and took out his phone to make a call on the spot.

A dozen minutes later, a young man carrying a briefcase hurried to the Li family home.

Wang Kun opened the case, took out a test tube containing a liquid that looked like mercury, and handed it to Chen Yusheng with both hands.

Chen Yusheng took the test tube and gently opened the cap.

In an instant, he felt a faint yet very clear fluctuation of Spiritual Qi emanating from within.

He extended his left hand, poured a little of the Energy Liquid onto his palm, and felt it carefully.

Soon, Chen Yusheng had an idea in his mind.

This Energy Liquid did indeed contain Spiritual Qi, but the concentration was far too low, even worse than the most ordinary Zombie Crystal Cores.

A whole vial of Energy Liquid was at best equivalent to three Ordinary Crystal Cores.

Chen Yusheng calmly circulated his cultivation technique and tried to absorb a little.

He found that the absorption speed was about the same as an ordinary crystal core.

With that, he lost all interest in this so-called Energy Liquid.

This thing was a treasure in the eyes of others, but in his view, it was no different from trash.

For his current cultivation, he found even ordinary Zombie Crystal Cores too slow and couldn't be bothered with them; at the very least, he needed Mutant Zombie Crystal Cores or crystal cores of the level of a mutated wolf to be sufficient.

Wang Kun looked at him with anticipation: "Mr. Chen, what do you think of this Energy Liquid?"

Chen Yusheng didn't want to discourage him too much and nodded gently: "It's alright, it's just that the energy density is a bit worse than a Zombie Crystal Core."

Wang Kun immediately gave a bitter smile: "That is indeed the case. But the problem is, our Ability Users cannot directly absorb the energy in Zombie Crystal Cores; they can only refine it into Energy Liquid and then inject it into their bodies to absorb a small portion."

Chen Yusheng finally understood.

So it turned out that the Ability Users in this world could not directly absorb Zombie Crystal Cores.

In that case, did it mean he was the only one who could swallow crystal cores directly to cultivate?

"Mr. Chen, don't underestimate it." Fearing that he wouldn't value it, Wang Kun added, "Even if this Energy Liquid is diluted a hundred times, injecting it into an ordinary person gives them a chance to awaken an ability!"

"Oh? It has this use too?"

This time, Chen Yusheng was truly a bit surprised.

He wasn't interested in the cultivation liquid itself, but he was a bit curious about how to make people awaken abilities.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yusheng nodded: "Since that's the case, I will hold the title of Director."

Anyway, it was just a title, and he didn't have to go to work every day, so it wouldn't hinder his cultivation.

Hearing that Chen Yusheng finally agreed, Wang Kun and his group all breathed a sigh of relief, their faces beaming with joy.

The group chatted politely for a few more sentences, then very tactfully stood up to take their leave, not wanting to disturb him further.

When they left, they didn't take the box of Energy Liquid with them, leaving it directly for Chen Yusheng.

Once everyone had left, the house finally became truly quiet.

Li Ruixi and her mother, Wu Xiuli, immediately surrounded Chen Yusheng and asked about his experiences during this period.

Chen Yusheng didn't tell the whole truth, only saying that he had his head injured by people from the He Family in Funancheng, lost his memory, and it was at that time that he awakened the ability to control zombies.

Then he briefly talked about how he was hunted by the He Family, how he met the Zombie King Xiao Jiu, how he escaped into the deep mountains, how he gradually became stronger, and finally how he killed his way back to the Base to take revenge.

After hearing this, Li Ruixi's eyes turned red, her face full of heartache.

"It's all in the past now, it's fine now, no one will dare to bully you again in the future." Wu Xiuli also comforted him from the side.

In the past, she hadn't really been happy about her daughter being close to Chen Yusheng; in her view, although Chen Yusheng was handsome, he was just an ordinary person.

But now it was different; Chen Yusheng had not only become a Top-tier Ability User, but he had also personally killed He Yongsheng to take revenge, and even the high-level officials of the Base had to fawn over him.

Now, the more she looked at Chen Yusheng, the more satisfied she was.

The family chatted, and before they knew it, the sky slowly turned dark.

Wu Xiuli arranged, "Tonight, Yao Yao and Ruixi will sleep in one room, and Chen Hai, you sleep in the guest room and get some good rest."

Chen Yusheng shook his head gently: "Auntie, there is no need to be so polite; neither Xiao Jiu nor I need to sleep, as we need to cultivate tonight."

"Cultivate?" Wu Xiuli was stunned.

"Yes," Chen Yusheng explained, "I cultivate by absorbing Spiritual Qi, and Xiao Jiu cultivates by absorbing moonlight; neither of us needs to sleep."

It was absolutely impossible for him to just go to sleep.

Don't look at how that group of people at the Base were smiling so politely today; who knew if they had other intentions behind their backs? If he were to be ambushed while asleep, that would be troublesome.

Wu Xiuli was even more curious: "I heard you mention cultivation before; I am an Ability User too, so can someone like me also absorb Spiritual Qi to cultivate like you?"

Wu Xiuli was still very keen on improving her abilities.

Chen Yusheng glanced at her, thought for a moment, and then said: "I really don't know about that; everyone's constitution is different, but if you are willing to try, I can teach you some methods that I know."
