Choosing a Direction

The middle-aged man named Xu Wen had an extraordinary demeanor.

Old Wang, who held real power in the Shelter C and was the top leader there, treated this man with extreme politeness, and even some apprehension.

Chen Wang, however, remained remarkably calm.

When Old Wang left the meeting room, this high-ranking and powerful old man was clearly far below the man Xu Wen in rank.

The refined-looking man was gentle and held a stack of documents in his hand as he inquired about Chen Wang's affairs.

Chen Wang had expected a long speech, but instead he got straight to the point:

"According to the information, you are using Mixed Medicine Path, and so far the results seem to be quite good, with outstanding achievements."

Chen Wang said, "That's right, it is indeed the Mixed Medicine Path."

Xu Wen said, "I'm just asking as a formality, I hope you don't mind."

Chen Wang shook his head.

Xu Wen continued, "The records show that you have demonstrated many different abilities. I would like to ask, what led you down this path?"

Is this some kind of interview...? Chen Wang said, "These days, if you want to survive, you need to be tough, and mixing medicine will show results immediately."

Xu Wen smiled and said, "It's truly remarkable that you can endure this, but it will shorten your lifespan. Is it worth it?"

Chen Wang said, "There's no question of whether it's worth it or not."

Xu Wen nodded. "The data shows that your close combat ability is outstanding. I'm a little curious, if you can become Tier 4 Soldier, which aspect of your ability would you like to focus on strengthening?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "Can I choose?"

Xu Wen said, "I'm just looking into it for reference."

Chen Wang: "Mental strength."

"Oh?" Xu Wen asked curiously, "Why? I thought you would choose fire attribute... or lightning attribute."

Thunder God was a resource that Old Wang illegally allocated to Chen Wang, as shown in the database.

Chen Wang wasn't surprised that they knew about this.

"I'm more interested in mental power, but there's nothing special about it," Chen Wang said.

"That's not wrong. Strengthening what interests you might be the most talented thing in your body," Xu Wen said.

Chen Wang neither agreed nor disagreed with his words.

At this moment, his mind was completely empty. In the Winter, there is a special profession called Divine Teacher, who can read minds.

The first Tier 3 Soldier he encountered possessed this ability.

Chen Wang's mind was completely blank, and he didn't think much about it, remaining true to himself.

Xu Wen said, "The other information is already very detailed, and we've met and dealt with each other before. There's only one thing that needs to be done, and I'd like to hear your opinion."

Chen Wang asked, "What is it?"

Xu Wen said, "We need to do a physical test on you. Headquarters is unwilling to spend a lot of money to train a Tier 4 Soldier, only to have him die before he can do anything."

"Okay," Chen Wang said.

Xu Wen nodded, ending the conversation. "Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

If Old Wang were to see that Xu Wen was so easy to talk to, he would be quite surprised.

This man appears refined, but in reality, he has a powerful background and is an extremely shrewd individual.

He was decisive and ruthless, a scholar-general in times of war, but also a ruthless killer who didn't blink an eye.

After the conversation ended, Chen Wang was scheduled to take a test.

His purpose was to check the extent of Chen Wang's organ failure.

If Chen Wang wants to deal with the authorities, this step is unavoidable.

He had thought about this long ago.

Some things must be exposed to the authorities, and the more the authorities value them, the more rigorous these tests will become.

"They specially sent someone to review him; he seems to be another important figure. He might pass this review." Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

One of the advantages of being a cultivator is that they have extremely strong control over their internal organs. For Chen Wang, it is not difficult to fake organ damage and failure.

He was not an ordinary Gene Warrior, but a genuine cultivator with mysterious methods.

Upon arriving at the testing room, Chen Wang used his internal Cultivation Method to feign organ damage.

The extent of damage to the internal organs is now roughly equivalent to that of someone who has received two or three injections.

The other party knew that he had been injected with so many drugs.

If the organ was not damaged to a great extent, or if it was as healthy and full of vitality as normal, it would probably have been taken away at that time!

However, if the situation is too bad, the authorities obviously won't invest so much energy in such a short-lived entity.

"Getting into the core of the official system is really not an easy thing," Chen Wang thought to himself.

He couldn't help but doubt that he was an outsider and could not be trusted by the authorities.

This was also the reason why he had always been unwilling to engage in deep dealings with the authorities.

Nobody is a fool, especially since the Three Great Powers rule the entire Winter. The vetting process for acquiring such extraordinary power must be extremely rigorous.

The test was conducted by a tall, slender young woman wearing a white lab coat and frameless glasses; she had a gentle and refined demeanor.

Chen Wang took off his clothes, revealing a body of extremely well-developed muscles.

Even though she'd seen plenty of muscular men, seeing Chen Wang's incredibly impressive physique still brought a hint of surprise to her eyes.

Chen Wang's muscles were sharply defined, exuding terrifying power, not the kind of grotesque bulges.

Just a glance is enough to feel the powerful explosive force contained within.

The woman in the white lab coat is from the research institute and her name is Dong Xiuxiu.

She is an extremely professional person.

Dong Xiuxiu is the daughter of a high-ranking official and one of the few second-generation talents who can be given important positions in the research institute. She is indeed highly capable.

She is also a person with extremely strict aesthetic standards. She feels that those who are too handsome are somewhat effeminate, and those who are too burly are somewhat like wild beasts, making them difficult to approach.

She has never found a balance between the two.

Seeing Chen Wang now, I can't help but feel a bit emotional.

"With looks like that, this guy could do pretty well," Dong Xiuxiu thought to herself.

There are many high-status, secluded women at headquarters who would be extremely excited to see this young man.

Despite having so many thoughts running through her mind, Dong Xiuxiu remained calm and composed on the surface.

She operated the equipment to check the person's physical condition, and the result surprised her somewhat.

She knew that Chen Wang was using Mixed Medicine Path and was injecting many different kinds of drugs.

However, it appears that the damage to the internal organs is not particularly severe.

Based on the data, he is the type of player worth cultivating.

"This person has a lot of physical activity, and the functions of his internal organs are very powerful."

Dong Xiuxiu thought to herself.

Chen Wang's ability to control the degree of damage to his body through his internal energy cultivation Cultivation Method is comparable to that of someone with high physical activity, but not in an exaggerated way.

Gene Serum is extremely damaging to the body, and even with resources like Essence of Life for repair, damage is inevitable.

Chen Wang's performance at this level couldn't be better.
