Chapter 230: This Monkey?

"Since you have already drunk it, it is too late to say anything," Ye Cang said.

"In a little while, you will fall into a deep sleep, and when you wake up, you will have become a Super Soldier."

Yet the old man was not happy; instead, he let out a long sigh.

This left Ye Cang feeling very puzzled.

He had already said it wasn't a waste, so why was the old man still like this?

After thinking about it seriously, Ye Cang understood what the old man was worried about.

So he spoke up: "I know what you are worried about, but your worries are unnecessary."

"No matter how much Special Protein you drink, you will not turn into someone like me; you don't need to worry about that."

"I am a special case."

Yes, Ye Cang was indeed a special case.

Regarding the matter of him becoming rational, he had once asked the system.

Because Ye Cang was also worried that everyone else would turn into someone like him.

If everyone really turned into someone like him, then this world would not be far from destruction.

The system understood Ye Cang's concerns, so it earnestly explained this problem to Ye Cang once.

It basically said that Ye Cang's situation was unique, and that his spirit, having lived two lives, had brought about this result.

As for other people drinking the Special Protein, they naturally wouldn't turn into someone like Ye Cang; they would remain exactly as they were.

Of course, it didn't rule out them turning into a husky... a high-spec body with a low-spec brain...

Don't ask the system why; if you ask, it's because it's too lazy to explain! You aren't worthy... *cough cough cough*.

That is just how it is.

However, Ye Cang had guessed wrong.

"Little Cang, I am not worried about that problem; becoming like you wouldn't be a big deal."

"I am only worried that, if I, this old man, really were to become immortal, I fear that in that endless time I would forget my original self, and forget the vow I made at the very beginning!"

"When that time comes, how could I lead everyone toward the correct path?"

"If, heaven forbid, this path were to go astray, what would greet us is becoming history, only to be used to warn those who come after."

"That is why I am unwilling to consume the Special Protein."

After the old man said all these words in one breath, the effects of the Special Protein also kicked in, causing his figure to sway.

If not for Ye Cang being quick-eyed and fast-handed to step forward and support the old man, the old man would likely have already fallen to the ground by then.

After helping the old man to the bed in the lounge, Ye Cang finally spoke.

"You are worrying too much."

"If you can have this thought, you won't turn into the person you described."

"Besides, isn't there still me?"

By the time Ye Cang said this, the old man's eyes could no longer stay open.

Seeing this, Ye Cang said one thing.

"Rest well; when you wake up, you will be a generation of Super Soldier."

After saying this, Ye Cang turned and left the lounge.

But Ye Cang did not leave directly; instead, he stood outside waiting for the old man to wake up.

After all, the old man was too old, and Ye Cang was truly afraid of any accidents occurring; it was best to keep watch, and besides, he wasn't short on this time.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The old man, who had slept for three full days, finally woke up at noon that day.

When the old man walked out of the room, Ye Cang was slightly surprised.

The old man, who had been so aged he was almost unrecognizable, had actually recovered to his middle-aged appearance, and his hunched frame had also become upright.

"I didn't expect you to be quite handsome when you were young," Ye Cang praised as he saw the old man walk out of the room.

But the old man kept a straight face, ignored Ye Cang's words, and instead said: "Look at this, Little Cang."

"Three days of time wasted for no reason; if I hadn't drunk the Special Protein, how could I have wasted these three days!"

Ye Cang did not have much of a reaction after hearing this; he knew the old man was still a bit angry that he had rashly made him consume the Special Protein.

"It's only three days," Ye Cang said as he walked to the water dispenser, took out a new cup, drew a cup of water, and handed it to the old man.

"Using three days to trade for a young body, making future work more efficient, and at the same time making the path ahead clearer."

"Isn't that worth it?"

"You..." The old man opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't think of anything to refute Ye Cang's words.

The angry old man unceremoniously gave Ye Cang's head a light tap.

"You brat!"

"You're the only one who can talk! Go, go, go! Go play by yourself; this old man has work to do."

Saying this, the old man pushed Ye Cang, forcing him out of the office.

Then he slammed the door shut.

Before closing the door, the old man added: "Don't come bother me for the next few days; decide things for yourself if anything comes up."

Ye Cang said nothing and prepared to return to his own office.

He had just received a call saying that there were some problems with the Stellar-class Warship that required him to resolve.

But before Ye Cang could walk very far, a figure wearing black armor and holding a black Stick descended from the sky, blocking Ye Cang's path.

"Sun Wukong?" Ye Cang looked at Sun Wukong, who was blocking his way, with slight confusion.

"What are you here for? And blocking my way, too."

After saying this, Ye Cang prepared to walk around Sun Wukong.

But the moment Ye Cang took a step, Sun Wukong immediately stepped forward to block his path again, remaining silent with a hint of hesitation on his face.

Ye Cang:???

Could someone tell him what was wrong with this monkey?

Too lazy to pay attention to Sun Wukong, Ye Cang changed direction and prepared to continue on his way.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong blocked Ye Cang's path again, his expression remaining exactly as it was before.

Ye Cang:...

No need for anyone else to tell him; he had already confirmed that this monkey had something wrong with his brain.

"If you have something to say, say it. Can you understand me? Sun Wukong!"

As he said this, a hint of coldness had already entered Ye Cang's voice.

He had things to attend to on his side and had no intention of wasting time with Sun Wukong.

Of course, even if he didn't have anything to do, he wouldn't spend time wasting it with him.

Upon hearing the hint of coldness in Ye Cang's voice, Sun Wukong finally spoke.

"That, ahem, kid Ye Cang, no, that's not right, it should be Chief Engineer Ye," Sun Wukong said, stuttering slightly.

"I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Don't worry, I won't take up too much of your time, and I'm not here to cause trouble."

When he heard Sun Wukong call him Chief Engineer Ye, Ye Cang knew he wasn't there to cause trouble, so he made a call to the side responsible for manufacturing the Stellar-class Warship.

He told them he would be arriving later.

Afterwards, he hung up the phone and looked at Sun Wukong.

"Speak, what is it?"

Ye Cang said this sentence very stiffly, but Sun Wukong acted as if he hadn't noticed.

He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Ye Cang, and walked toward the front.

As he walked, he said, "That, Chief Engineer Ye, this isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere else to chat, somewhere else."
