Are We Talking About the Same Person?

Are We Talking About the Same Person?

"Jackpot."

Wang Ye aimed his Wilderness Watch at the High-Level Ferocious Tree Monster and completed the scan.

The bark from the twenty-meter-tall tree was almost completely intact and could be used to make various defensive equipment.

Such as Cultivation Rooms, vehicle armor, and heavy battle suits.

Based on the Cylinder Lateral Area formula, S = 2πrh, the bark covered roughly 100 square meters. At 3,000 per square meter, his 50% share came to 150,000.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that evolved plants were valuable from head to toe.

"Kill above your level: 50% additional reward."

"So the standard Potential Points for a high-level ferocious monster are 4 points."

Wang Ye glanced at the chipped Crimson Sun Battle Blade in his hand.

Rookie equipment really was lacking in quality.

And the Darklight Battle Suit had actually failed to block the High-Level Ferocious Tree Monster's attack...

A cheap 100,000-yuan product!

"Weapons and equipment are important." Wang Ye was glad that he still had a set of equipment custom-made by the Gene Park Experiment Building.

The Gene Park was in the Base City. He could have it made tomorrow after returning.

Evolutionist Apartment.

"Mm, alright, understood. I'll consider it seriously." Wang Ye ended the call.

"Another one trying to recruit you?" Shu Mengou gave Wang Ye's wounds some simple treatment.

"Mm, from the Outer Patrol Division." Wang Ye pondered.

Shu Mengou put away the medical tools. "Didn't they already come to visit yesterday?"

Wang Ye smiled. "They asked whether I had any wishes or special requirements. They'll do their best to satisfy them."

"That good?" Shu Mengou snickered. "Then why don't you ask for a few well-endowed, pretty, fair-skinned female secretaries?"

"Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Wang Ye said solemnly.

He already had one.

"Alright, seriously, have you decided where you're going?" Shu Mengou's eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Wang Ye.

First place in the Rookie Trial, with the Three Great Organizations competing for him.

His future was bright.

"Future Center or the Rescue Team. One of the two." Wang Ye browsed the Evolutionist Forum.

Though the forum's contents were fragmented and disorganized, there was actually quite a lot of information if one read carefully.

"Huh?"

Shu Mengou was somewhat surprised. "I thought you'd join the Base Defense Division."

"The Base Defense Division is indeed the most suitable place for me." Wang Ye had always known that.

The written test results for the Graduation Exam had come out long ago.

The Base Defense Division suited him best, followed by the Evolution Camp, while the Gene Park ranked last.

"Then why did you change your mind?" Shu Mengou had one good quality—she never tried to influence or change him.

"It's a long story." Wang Ye smiled.

"Because of the Outer Patrol Division?" Shu Mengou was clever too.

Wang Ye nodded.

The Outer Patrol Division's sudden intervention was highly unusual.

Ding.

His phone received a message from Huang Zirui.

"Here's the information you wanted."

"Thanks."

"No need to be polite. It was no trouble at all. Just let me know if you need help."

"Alright."

Wang Ye did not continue chatting.

The other party was merely being polite.

Huang Zirui had helped so readily because Wang Ye had saved Yu Shuiqin, and he owed Wang Ye a favor.

A password-protected file.

He opened it.

It contained the roster of middle-level personnel in the Eastern Base City's Base Defense Division.

Wang Ye quickly found two Intermediate Evolvers with the surname Yu. One was the director of the Base Defense Division, while the other was the deputy minister of the Outer Patrol Division.

"Yu Hanchao, male, twenty years old, graduate of the 78th North Camp Evolution Camp..."

It was him.

Yu Haitao had mentioned in class that he had an Evolver brother.

"Serving as deputy minister with the rank of Senior Patrol Officer. He's ruthless." Wang Ye solved the mystery.

If he had guessed correctly, Yu Hanchao had likely already suspected that he had killed Yu Haitao.

Although he had done it flawlessly and left behind no evidence.

Yu Hanchao only needed to carefully question every student in Class 23 to easily narrow it down to him.

Joining the Outer Patrol Division would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's den.

Joining the Guardian Division would be just as dangerous, since it too was under the Base Defense Division.

"With such exceptionally favorable conditions offered, if I don't join the Base Defense Division... it'll mean I have a guilty conscience." Wang Ye glanced at Shu Mengou, who was leaning against his shoulder. She knew everything, yet said nothing.

An open scheme.

The solution was simple too.

Avoid his edge and quietly build up his strength.

Wait until the time was right, until his own strength was powerful enough—

Then kill him in return!

"First, I need to find a reliable protector and lie low for a while."

"He's only an Intermediate Evolver. It won't take long."

Once an enemy moved from the shadows into the open, their threat level dropped sharply.

Just an Intermediate Evolver.

No matter how ruthless his methods were, could he be tougher than Wang Ye?

"The Future Center leans more toward free cultivation, and it's in the same Base City as the Base Defense Division, right under their noses. It won't be easy to lie low there." Wang Ye quickly made his decision.

He would join the Rescue Team!

It had an Intermediate Evolver captain and powerful teammates.

Even if Yu Hanchao wanted to draw his blade, he would have to think twice.

Moreover, although the Rescue Team had missions, it spent most of the year in the wilderness, which would not interfere with cultivation or earning Potential Points.

It was a fairly ideal choice.

"I applied to join the Rescue Team," Wang Ye told Shu Mengou his decision.

"Mm." Shu Mengou responded softly through her nose.

"Don't you want to know why?" Wang Ye smiled.

"Mm... You want to save the refugee civilians, I suppose." Shu Mengou snickered after saying it, not even believing it herself. Then she suddenly wrapped her arms around Wang Ye gently and murmured, "When the day comes that you want to tell me, I'll listen."

She did not hear any reply, but suddenly felt a chill on her upper body. Shu Mengou immediately opened her beautiful eyes wide.

"Ah, no!"

"You're injured..."

Eastern Base City, Detached Villa District.

The basement-level Cultivation Room.

A Golden Boy and Jade Girl were engaged in practical sparring. The Silver Spear cast countless overlapping shadows, yet it could not break through the solid defense of the ability shield.

Only after a long while did the two stop.

"Mm?" Huang Zirui looked at the message on his phone, surprise appearing on his face.

"What is it?" Yu Shuiqin replenished her fluids. Her tender skin glistened with fragrant sweat, adding another touch of unique beauty.

"Wang Ye joined the Rescue Team." Huang Zirui was somewhat surprised, but recalling that Wang Ye had previously asked him to investigate the Base Defense Division's middle-level roster, he could more or less guess the reason.

"That's perfectly normal. He has noble character and a kind heart. Only by joining the Rescue Team can he fulfill his ambitions." Yu Shuiqin drank water, her smile sweet.

Noble... character?

A kind heart?

Are we talking about the same person? Huang Zirui did not even know where to begin complaining.

If Xiao Qin knew Wang Ye had already seen her completely naked...

Forget it.

She would not believe him.

Even if it were true, she would only think Wang Ye had no choice and had disregarded worldly judgment in order to save her.

She might even... encourage it.

First impressions were far too important.

"Brother, I've decided," Yu Shuiqin suddenly said.

"What?" Huang Zirui was still thinking about how to change Wang Ye's image in Xiao Qin's heart.

"I want to join the Rescue Team too, to become someone like Wang Ye who sacrifices himself for others and save more helpless refugees." Determination shone in Yu Shuiqin's beautiful eyes.

"..."

Base Defense Division, Outer Patrol Division.

Yu Hanchao sat in a leather chair, expressionless, with both his phone and computer screen lit up.

Just moments ago, he had received the news.

"So it really was you."

Yu Hanchao muttered softly to himself, his fingers rhythmically tapping the desk, producing a sharp knock, knock, knock in the darkness.

"So, are you afraid of me?"

"Heh."

Yu Hanchao's gaze alternated between icy and warm as memories of his time with his younger brother surfaced in his mind. They had grown up together, faced the apocalypse together, promised to become the greatest Evolvers together, and walked step by step until now...

But he was gone.

"He's gone!!" Yu Hanchao suddenly shot to his feet, clenched both fists, and smashed them down hard onto the desk.

With a thunderous boom, the solid wooden desk shattered into pieces.

His eyes were filled with blood-red fury and killing intent.
