Illegal Inheritance, Executive Chairman

The Three Treasures Balance of "Essence, Qi, and Spirit" simply did not exist in a "Glass Cannon" like Meng Yi.

He cultivated only "Spirit," not "Body," and lacked the stabilizing adjustment of "Qi."

As a result, the body of an Ordinary Person with an F-Rank Evaluation could not bear the full force of C+-rank Psionic Power. A single burst completely drained the last remnants of strength from this frail body. The Psionics System's title of "Glass Cannon" was no exaggeration.

Since arriving in the Selection Dungeon Until now, he had walked over ten kilometers on foot without a drop of water along the way. His body had already been nearing its limit, and the burden of C+-rank Psionic Power only made things worse.

In an instant, Meng Yi's face turned even paler than Luo-Deficient Man-Aged Corporate Slave's, his pupils bloodshot.

Enduring the needle-like agony in his brain and the tearing pain in every cell of his Whole body, Meng Yi gave orders to the surrounding Zombie horde and Lickers.

The Zombies clumsily helped Meng Yi up, while the Lickers obediently knelt On the ground.

After some effort, Meng Yi stopped caring whether it was filthy and swung himself onto a Licker's back. He truly could not walk the remaining seven or eight kilometers.

Raise a dog for a thousand days, use it for one moment.

Licker, it was time for you to work!

In the pitch-black environment of the Underground Train Track, Luo Ji did not notice Meng Yi's abnormality. Violent Girl, who could see normally in the dark, seemed to sense something. She turned and gave Meng Yi a deeply concerned look, but said nothing.

The systems of "Psionic Power" and "Path of Fate" were completely different. Even a "monster" powerful enough to shatter the Earth's core at full strength had no way to investigate it. Noticing something was wrong through Meng Yi's physical condition was already quite impressive.

"Specialization" brought power, but it also brought more "Weaknesses."

That was why Evolution Paradise urged players to seek glorious evolution and give birth to true "Perfection"—strength with No Blind Spots in every aspect.

"Phew, phew... Young Master Bai, what were you muttering about just now?"

Fever, vomiting, and exhaustion assaulted him all at once. Dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, and other negative conditions gathered together.

Luo Ji was so exhausted that he could barely catch his breath. Beads of sweat constantly seeped from his forehead, and his shirt, which had not dried yet, was already soaked through again. He wondered whether he had just hallucinated the sound.

"I said that after a little more than seven kilometers, we'll reach our destination."

"Keep it up! There'll be clean water and plentiful food then, maybe even soft beds and steaming bathwater..."

Luo Ji had heard Meng Yi's shameless pie-drawing routine far too many times along the way. By now, he automatically filtered it out.

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop Drawing a Big Pie! I can't eat anymore! I really can't!"

Luo Ji threw away the table leg he had been using for self-defense, clenched his hand into a fist, and pounded his muddled head. He licked at his dry, cracked lips and Looked towards Meng Yi, who had lazily found himself a "mount."

"Young Master Bai, that's not very decent of you!"

"How could you keep such excellent 'transportation' all to yourself?!"

"Huh?"

Meng Yi raised a hand and pointed at the Licker with its muscles turned inside out and its brain exposed, eyeing Luo Ji suspiciously.

"Are you sure? This thing carries a High-Intensity Virus. If you get infected by accident, the consequences are obvious."

Hearing that, Luo Ji gave up on his unrealistic idea.

He still had to survive. He could not just carelessly kick the bucket like this.

"Forget it, forget it! Seven kilometers, right? Grit my teeth and stomp my feet, and it'll be over in no time!"

Meng Yi smiled inwardly. Teasing Luo Ji to pass the time was rather fun.

He really had not Deceived Luo Ji. In Luo Ji's current state, getting close to Infected like Lickers and Zombies was not worth the convenience.

"Right! Half of Ninety Miles. We can't collapse in this pitch-black place."

"But speaking of which, Brother Luo, isn't your teeth-gritting and foot-stomping taking a bit too long?"

"Don't your teeth hurt? Aren't your feet numb? Do you have some illness? Do you need to see a doctor?"

"As it happens, though I'm hardly worth mentioning, I hold doctorates in biology, medicine, and chemistry!"

Luo Ji got angry, and then... he was just angrily left with nothing.

"I don't want to talk to you right now. I want some time alone!"

Smiles did not disappear; they merely transferred from one person's face to another. This was the Law of Conservation of Happiness.

Skilled at taking happiness from others, Meng Yi even found his splitting headache easing considerably.

Brother Luo! You've done a great service!

Meng Yi still had no intention of letting the Source of Happiness go. He twisted the knife with a Waibi Waibi follow-up.

"If I remember correctly, 3 hours, 47 minutes, and 21 seconds ago, when we were chatting, Brother Luo said his wife's surname was 'Zhuang' and her given name was 'Yan,' right? It seemed that Miss Zhuang Yan even bore you a child?"

The Joker pretended to suddenly understand and let out a laugh that "all men understood."

"Oh~~! I understand! I understand now! Some time alone~ Hehehe~"

"Men are all like that. Once they have a new love, they forget the old one. Flowers at home never smell as sweet as wildflowers."

"Brother Luo, don't worry. We're not from the same world, so you don't need to worry about me tattling on you."

"But speaking of which, Brother Luo, keeping the red flag standing at home while colorful flags flutter outside... your level is truly impressive. When you have time, teach your little brother a trick or two?"

After blow upon blow, Luo Ji completely broke down and let out a Groundhog scream. "Ah!!!"

Luo Ji repeatedly slammed his fists against his own head. If he could beat him, he would definitely teach that vile brat who dared make fun of him a lesson!

"Shut up! You Don't Understand Anything! You shameless little thief! How dare I let you Whining Bark here and wag your tongue!"

Meng Yi knew when to stop and did not continue stabbing Luo Ji in the heart.

The thrifty, family-minded Meng Yi had always practiced the principle of Sustainable Depletion of Fish Ponds. He absolutely could not make Luo Ji completely immune in A Wave, or how would he squeeze more happiness from him later?

When chatting and joking around, one often found that time passed quickly.

The Remaining seven kilometers took roughly two hours to finish. By now, the surface was probably already approaching midnight.

Upon reaching the entrance to The Hive beneath Raccoon City, Meng Yi had recovered considerably. He ordered the Zombie army to lead the way, while he, Luo Ji, and Violent Girl followed behind.

Suddenly, the corridor lights lit up one after another, and a holographic projection formed the image of a little Blonde Blue-Eyed girl in red.

"Controlling Infected?"

The Artificial Intelligence AI, Red Queen, developed by the Umbrella Corporation, reacted as though facing a great enemy.

"Unknown intruders, who are you?!"

A speaker hidden in a corner of the ceiling carried Red Queen's voice.

"Who am I? That's a good question."

"I am Dr. Bai, the Illegal Inheritance of the Umbrella Corporation and Executive Chairman of the Executive Council!"
