Two Paths

After the inspection was completed, Dong Xiuxiu said expressionlessly, "That's fine. I will report the results to my superiors."

Chen Wang nodded. "Okay."

He then got dressed, got up, and left.

We've done everything we can; now it's up to the authorities to assess our performance.

Inside an office, Xu Wen, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance, looked at a stack of documents and test data in his hand.

Opposite her was Dong Xiuxiu, who was wearing a white coat and looked very gentle.

"This person has a lot of physical activity and his bodily functions are very complete, which is quite rare," Xu Wen said.

He looked at all the data in great detail.

Ordinary researchers from the Academy of Sciences of Sciences should have left by now, but Dong Xiuxiu was quite familiar with this middle-aged man.

Xu Wen used to be her grandfather's secretary, and he was kind to this little girl back then, often bringing her little trinkets.

This person is quick-witted, and his ability to get back on his feet quickly is related to this.

Therefore, Dong Xiuxiu felt quite relaxed in front of him and said curiously, "Uncle Xu, this person's stats are good. I think he can withstand the injection of Tier 4 Potion."

Xu Wen nodded. "He's a formidable opponent. He's single-handedly killed Tier 4 Soldier. He'll definitely be even more formidable after being injected with Tier 4 equipment."

Dong Xiuxiu raised an eyebrow.

She only knew how to do scientific research and look at data, but she didn't know about Chen Wang's achievements.

"A third-tier fighter killing a fourth-tier fighter?"

Xu Wen nodded. "Mainly because they are bold and ambitious, not afraid of problems from injecting so many drugs. Their combat power is indeed considerable, but their potential is huge!"

Dong Xiuxiu said, "Didn't we already verify before whether we should take the mixed medicine route or level up all the way?"

Xu Wen said, "Yes, I remember that group of people who mixed medicine were indeed extremely powerful and had considerable combat strength, but their lifespans were too short, which is a pity."

Taking the Mixed Medicine Path is extremely risky, but the combat power is equally astonishing, and one can master different methods.

Although the danger is extremely high and the mortality rate is very high, given the large population of Lingdong, it is natural to train warriors who follow this path.

There are already two schools of thought, or rather, debates within the research institute itself.

However, mixing drugs has a very high mortality rate, and even if successful, the lifespan is too short.

This problem has remained unsolved, and therefore it remains a relatively niche area of study.

Many soldiers themselves were unwilling to take the Mixed Medicine Path.

Gene Serum are inherently very harmful to the body, and they also bring some negative effects.

Martial Warrior make people impulsive, Tentacle Mutant make people unable to control their desires, developing an extreme craving for women.

Water Sprite Water Ghost can make people gloomy...

Gene Serum can cause a variety of personality defects in people.

Warriors who follow the path of mixed medicine, while mastering multiple abilities, also develop many personality flaws, making them even more difficult to control than those who already possess great individual strength.

Xu Wen took a sip of tea. "Xiuxiu, I need to take another look at this person's information."

Dong Xiuxiu nodded, stood up and said, "Then Uncle Xu, you go ahead and do your work. If you need anything, just let me know."

Xu Wen saw her out, returned to the sofa, sat down, and drank another cup of tea.

"This is an exceptionally fast knife, incredibly sharp."

He muttered to himself.

Chen Wang's reputation soared, and on his path to power, he killed many of the Church's experts. Many of the most famous experts on the wanted list, as well as the experts from the recently deployed Adjudication Team, were killed by Chen Wang, including some of the Tier 4 Soldier.

His ability to fight across borders is extremely rare and is considered to indicate great potential.

Otherwise, given his status, this research trip would probably never have happened.

Because the authorities still have more trust in those they have personally trained and who have undergone rigorous vetting.

There has been a wave of discussion about Chen Wang's matter on official channels.

Some people want to use Chen Wang to open up a new avenue: freelancers can also be valued and promoted by the government.

To prevent the loss of some powerful freelancers who might be absorbed by the Church or the other two major powers.

Some people said to be careful, as a knife that is too sharp can cut your hand, and outsiders are not trustworthy.

Some people argued that while using Mixed Medicine Path might grant powerful combat abilities in the short term, it also shortens lifespan, potentially making the investment and returns disproportionate. However, this concern can be avoided after this test.

However, the question about Chen Wang still leaves people somewhat uncertain.

Chen Wang waited in the office building.

He has his own bright office, where a tall female secretary handles his routine tasks.

Chen Wang was waiting inside for the results, only to be told that Xu Wen had already left.

"They've left?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

This person gives off a very deep feeling; he is very thoughtful and appears refined, but in reality, he harbors a murderous aura.

Chen Wang was also unsure of this man's intentions. He also learned from Old Wang that this middle-aged man Xu Wen held a high position at headquarters.

If Chen Wang can upgrade to Tier 4 Soldier, we'll probably have to deal with him a lot more often.

With Chen Wang's help, Old Wang has essentially suppressed that Special Task Committee Member.

However, he didn't rush to force the other party to leave.

Once the other party leaves, the authorities will definitely send someone new to restrain them. This is an old tradition, and no one should be allowed to become too powerful.

Keeping this Special Task Committee Member here now would only make him a figurehead, a convenient scapegoat.

Power always brings out a person's vitality. This old man, who has experienced many vicissitudes, now looks much younger and seems much more agile.

He found Chen Wang and said, "Headquarters seems to value you a lot."

Chen Wang remained noncommittal. "They didn't give us a result right away, so I feel like things are going to be tough this time."

Old Wang nodded. "I can see the dilemma at headquarters, but what you guessed might also be true."

Old Wang then added, "Since you haven't been with us for long, it's understandable that headquarters might be holding back."

"If this upgrade fails, I'll think of another way for you."

"I truly mean it. I want to recruit someone as talented as you, and I am genuinely grateful for your contributions."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "Old Wang, you're too kind."

Old Wang shook his head. "Of course, you are a lucky general. You could say that I wouldn't be able to hold this position without you."

"I will do everything in my power to fight for you."

The fact that a powerful figure in the district Shelter was so eager to win over Chen Wang shows that Chen Wang indeed has great potential value.

"It's unlikely that we can get through the official channels. We can't put all our eggs in one basket. I wonder if we can get Tier 4 Potion through other channels?"

Chen Wang thought to himself.
