What a Wonderful Girl

A Cosmic Monster attack!?

Wang Ye had only just returned to the Evolution Camp and hadn't even had time to visit Huang Zirui when he heard this shocking news.

That was a Cosmic Monster!

A terrifying existence that had descended alongside the red light that changed Blue Star's fate!

The Ten Cosmic Monsters each possessed different abilities, but they shared one thing in common—

They were all powerful!

Powerful enough to drive human Evolvers to despair.

So far, four Perfected Evolvers had died in battle. One had died during Demon Awakening, while the other three had all been killed by Cosmic Monsters.

Countless Base Cities had been trampled and destroyed, leaving devastation in their wake—all because of Cosmic Monsters.

China Base City had once withstood an assault by super monsters. Though the casualties had been horrific, they had pulled through.

But a Cosmic Monster...

"Don't panic for now. It hasn't been fully confirmed yet." Tong Wu said to Wang Ye, "Cosmic Monster No. 9 is lazy by nature. It prefers stillness over movement, and it's currently dozing on the sea."

"But you can make arrangements for your family in advance. If disaster strikes, the Rescue Team will be extremely busy."

"Understood." Wang Ye nodded.

"You performed very well this time. Go enjoy your vacation." Tong Wu looked at Wang Ye. "Stay reachable around the clock and be ready to assemble at any time."

"Yes, Team Leader Tong."

"Anything else?"

"Can you smile for once, Team Leader Tong? I suspect you're like a cat and don't know how to smile."

"Get lost!"

After leaving the Defense Zone, Wang Ye went to find Chief Instructor Sun.

He recounted everything that had happened on Dragon King Mountain and also explained the full story behind the "Dragon King."

Except for the two fruits.

He had picked those up from the ground in the cave.

"So, the Devil-Humans who kidnapped Anabella and the Devil-Humans on Dragon King Mountain belong to the same group." Chief Instructor Sun said.

"Most likely." Wang Ye said. "This Devil-Human Organization acts as a middleman. On one hand, it colludes with human Evolvers. On the other, it resells equipment to other Devil-Human Organizations, using various methods to make money."

Chief Instructor Sun sighed softly. "Unfortunately, these were all secondhand resold items. We've identified the people who handled them, but..."

Wang Ye nodded.

Although the Evolutionist Mall bought back equipment, its prices definitely could not compare to private resale prices, much like a secondhand marketplace.

All an insider needed was an unrelated intermediary to purchase the items under their name, or they could split up transactions and buy them at prices above the resale rate.

It was very difficult to investigate.

"If the trail goes cold, you might as well investigate through Anabella." Wang Ye said.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Chief Instructor Sun took a sip of tea.

"The Main Master behind Anabella's kidnapping was likely an ordinary person, because he had armed bodyguards with him." Wang Ye said. "Did you check the license plate?"

"It was fake." Chief Instructor Sun said.

"An ordinary person would have almost no chance of being connected to a Devil-Human Organization, because the two sides are not on equal footing."

"You mean there's an insider?" Chief Instructor Sun pondered.

Wang Ye nodded. "The reason an insider would collude with a Devil-Human Organization is nothing more than money. Clearly, the Main Master behind Anabella's kidnapping could provide him with money, while he could easily make a profit through his connection to the Devil-Human Organization."

Chief Instructor Sun poured himself more tea. "Who do you think the Main Master is?"

"I don't know." Wang Ye paused. "But I think Anabella probably already has a few suspects in mind."

Chief Instructor Sun looked at Wang Ye and suddenly said, "Old Huang was right. With your temperament and abilities, you would truly shine in the Base Defense Division."

"No, I like the Rescue Team very much." Wang Ye recalled everything from the past seven days.

It had been exhausting, but deeply fulfilling.

Compared to scheming and competing in the Base Defense Division, he preferred this relaxed, carefree life.

He had comrades who would live and die alongside him, as well as a beautiful confidante with a refreshing fragrance.

Later, he ought to find a place and try dry cleaning too.

Chief Instructor Sun smiled. "Capable people shine wherever they go. Your performance in this Joint Operation brought great honor to our West Camp. Even the West Camp Leader can't stop praising you."

"Tell me more, Brother Sun." Wang Ye raised his brows.

Chief Instructor Sun smiled knowingly. "There'll be a chance. The last newcomer to receive such unanimous praise from the West Camp Leader was Xia Wuguang last year."

"One year to become an Advanced Evolver?" Wang Ye sighed.

What insane speed!

Chief Instructor Sun shook his head. "He became an Intermediate Evolver in one month and an Advanced Evolver in three. Xia Wuguang is the most outstanding genius in the history of the Evolution Camp. His talent is enough to rival Yao's, and he will certainly become a Perfected Evolver in the future."

Good heavens, what kind of cheat had Team Leader Xia activated!

Wang Ye was deeply shaken.

Oh, he was about to become an Intermediate Evolver too.

Then it wasn't a big deal.

"By the way, Brother Sun, there's something else I wanted to ask." Wang Ye paused.

Chief Instructor Sun smiled. "Yu Hanchao? He's been dismissed."

"He was convicted?" Wang Ye was somewhat surprised.

Chief Instructor Sun shook his head and took a sip of tea. "He's very cunning. He didn't leave behind any direct evidence pointing to himself."

"Then..." Wang Ye understood somewhat.

Chief Instructor Sun smiled. "A peach for a plum. Go visit your friend."

Ha.

He was afraid that friend wouldn't want to see him.

Eastern Base City.

Wang Ye had come for nothing.

Huang Zirui had just been discharged and gone home.

"This kid's recovery ability is impressive. Such serious injuries, and he recovered in two or three days." Wang Ye exclaimed.

"No, I think he wanted to avoid that girl. He secretly slipped away on crutches." The Nurse whispered.

Well then...

Wang Ye looked at Song Shuyi, who stood not far away looking somewhat lost.

What a wonderful girl.

Zi Rui truly didn't know how lucky he was.

"Ye Ge!" Song Shuyi looked up, saw Wang Ye, and immediately beamed with surprise. "You're back! When did you get back?"

"At noon." Wang Ye said. "Zi Rui was discharged?"

"I don't know either. I only went to the cafeteria for a meal, and when I came back, Brother Rui was gone." Song Shuyi looked at Wang Ye in confusion. "Ye Ge, do you think Brother Rui hates me?"

You're not that slow after all.

"How could that be? Everyone loves you, and even flowers bloom for you. He likes you too much if anything. Maybe he's just shy after spending so much time with you." Wang Ye said.

"Ah, really?" Light returned to Song Shuyi's eyes. "Oh right, Ye Ge, I still haven't thanked you for saving my life! Come on, I'll treat you to a meal!"

"Uh... no need." Wang Ye was a little frightened by her sudden enthusiasm.

"Come to my house!" Song Shuyi grabbed Wang Ye. "No one's home, Ye Ge. I'll make you noodles! My chicken soup wonton noodles are delicious! Even my sister praises them!"

I can't stomach any chicken soup.

I'm afraid your sister will beat me to death...

Using the excuse of going to the restroom, Wang Ye decisively escaped.

Fortunately, he didn't need crutches and could move swiftly.

What a wonderful girl.

She was better off left to Zi Rui.

Home.

He brought his Younger Sister, Wang Xinchen, an exquisite little gift.

The little girl was overjoyed.

Ever since their mother, Chen Tingyu, had been recuperating at home, taking walks whenever she had time, her health had improved considerably.

Only his eldest brother, Wang Yang, was still extremely busy. After work, he delivered takeout. His Younger Sister said it was because he had found someone.

Wang Ye did not mention the Cosmic Monster to his family.

There was no need.

He just needed to make arrangements in secret.

Besides, given that old turtle's speed, it might take a year or more just to crawl ashore.

If it happened to meet a sweetheart in the sea and got flipped over while riding a female turtle, that would be hilarious.

Wang Ye entered the Hua Xia Evolutionist Management Center.

Looking at the Red Light Spot representing Cosmic Monster No. 9, it had indeed left the Island Country and entered the ocean.

It had finally grown tired of playing there.

"The chances of it entering China are very high. Eastern Base City will bear the brunt of it." Wang Ye really wanted to know how the country would respond.

Evacuation was necessary.

But would they fight?

If they did not, then after the evacuation to the Preparatory Base City, the Giant Turtle would likely continue advancing deeper inland.

Were they simply going to let it wreak havoc without restraint?

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ye stopped dwelling on it.

This was not something he could control.

The only thing he could do now was become an Intermediate Evolver during these ten days of vacation!

The stronger he became, the better he could protect himself.

Hell-level Monsters were not so easy to encounter, and an Intermediate Evolver could more than protect themselves in the wilderness.

Even if a Cosmic Monster truly attacked, he would have the ability to protect himself and his family.

But that was not the most important thing.

What Wang Ye truly feared was Yu Hanchao, who had vanished after being dismissed.

He was a lone wolf with ruthless methods.

Losing his official career had certainly stripped him of power, but it had also freed him from restraints. He no longer needed to worry about so much.

He must be hiding in the shadows now, waiting for a chance to retaliate.

"I have to move quickly." Wang Ye knew very well.

With Yu Hanchao's personality, he would never allow Wang Ye to advance to Intermediate Evolver smoothly.

There was a very high chance that he would make his move in the wilderness.
