Lin Yi was surprised that Li Zhenguo's assessment was quite accurate.
Indeed, unless he uses all his trump cards, he is currently unable to deal with the Leader level Abyssal Beast of the giant nest.
Because the difference in energy sources is simply too great.
However, Li Zhenguo was wrong about one thing.
Lin Yi recalled the fragmented politics of Xia Country after Li Zhenguo's death in his previous life, smiled, and said, "Who said you could replace him? You're too modest."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhenguo looked at Lin Yi, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes, " Comrade Lin Yi, do you know? In the period immediately following the arrival of the Abyssal Beast, after our initial engagements, the General Staff assessed that we had almost no hope of winning."
"But then, you appeared. You emerged out of nowhere. Just like..." Li Zhenguo seemed lost in memories, then snapped back to reality, his voice suddenly becoming unusually firm, "And we had hope again. This is not only because of your strength, but also because of the possibility you brought."
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Hope needs to be created."
Then, he deliberately put on a stern face, "You should drink it quickly, I'm in a hurry to get back to class."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhenguo laughed heartily, took the medicine floating in the air, and drank it all in one gulp.
Almost the instant the medicine entered his throat, Li Zhenguo began to emit a soft blue light.
Li Zhenguo only felt this power gently transforming his body, without any pain, only a warm feeling flowing through his limbs and bones.
His complexion visibly regained its rosy hue, his previously dry skin regained its luster, his gray hair quickly turned black, and the wrinkles on his face gradually disappeared.
More importantly, he could clearly feel the surging source energy within his body.
A few minutes later, the blue light gradually dissipated.
Zhou Donglai was watching from the side, was dumbfounded and said excitedly, " Commander, you... you've fully recovered! And you look even younger than before!"
Li Zhenguo jumped up from the bed.
He stretched his limbs, an incredulous look on his face. "This is the power of Stardust level?"
He felt the surging source energy within his body, and his originally aged face had become like that of a middle-aged man in his forties, radiating vitality.
"That's right, this is Stardust level." Lin Yi nodded in confirmation.
"[ Star Source Initial Evolution Elixir ] directly transformed your body to the Stardust level. Of course, this accelerated Stardust level only includes source energy and physique. Before reaching the source energy control of the Stardust level, you cannot condense source crystals on your own, and therefore, you cannot advance further."
Feeling the surging power within him, Li Zhenguo's eyes gleamed with complex emotions. "I never imagined that I, Li Zhenguo, in my twilight years, could still reach the Stardust level. Thank you, Comrade Lin Yi."
Lin Yi shook his head and smiled, " Commander Li, you flatter me."
Then, Li Zhenguo looked at Lin Yi and said, "Since God has given me another chance, I want to see with my own eyes how you lead us to storm the main nest!"
Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "That day won't be too far away."
Li Zhenguo nodded solemnly, then looked at Lin Yi and Zhou Donglai, his tone becoming serious.
"Since you're here, we can discuss some things together," Li Zhenguo said. " Comrade Lin Yi, since you're here, don't rush back. There's a meeting we can attend together later. Also, regarding your killing of the Star Core level Abyssal Beast and your help in healing me, could you please just state it directly? Otherwise, I'll have to think of a better reason."
Now that Lin Yi had obtained what he wanted, there was naturally nothing to hide. "I reminded you to keep it a secret before mainly because it was just a guess, and I didn't want to get excited for nothing and cause any trouble. Now that it's successful, there's nothing to hide."
"Okay." Li Zhenguo nodded, then dialed the phone by the bedside. "Pass the word: come to the Dragon Abyss Command Center immediately for a meeting."
After hanging up the phone, Li Zhenguo said, "Let's go, let's go to the conference room too."
The three of them left the Medical Area together and headed towards the conference room in the Command Center.
The officers and soldiers along the way were quite surprised to see the three men.
Why is it that one of the three looks quite similar to Commander Li?
--
The conference room is located in the Core Zone of Command Center. The national flag of Xia Country is placed in the center of the oval conference table, and multiple display screens are hung on the surrounding walls, displaying real-time monitoring data of various matters across the country.
" Commander!" Dean Dong of the Scientific Research Institute strode forward and stopped three steps away from Li Zhenguo. "Did you use some special treatment method?"
Li Zhenguo smiled and looked at Lin Yi and Zhou Donglai: "We have to thank Comrade Lin Yi for this."
"I see. Commander, we are all very relieved to see you recover."
Dong Wang had already suspected and was certain that it was related to Yuan Energy; now that his suspicions had been confirmed, he offered his congratulations.
"You're in such good shape, it's like you've returned to your prime. This is a great blessing for the country."
"Yes, we were all very worried when we learned you were unwell, but now that we see you've recovered, we're relieved," another executive said with a smile.
Then, he paused, and exclaimed, "However, source energy is truly amazing."
Although he didn't explain what was so magical about it, everyone in the conference room understood what he meant.
Seeing the changes in Li Zhenguo at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little envious.
With Lin Yi and Zhou Donglai's endorsement, and having already witnessed the wonders of source energy, they had some doubts, but were only curious about how it was done.
The attendees who arrived later were filled with surprise, but seeing that no one else seemed to be acting strangely, they didn't ask any further questions and simply offered their congratulations in a restrained manner.
Once everyone had arrived, the meeting room immediately returned to a solemn and respectful atmosphere.
Li Zhenguo sat in the main seat, his authoritative gaze slowly sweeping over everyone present.
"The meeting begins." Li Zhenguo's voice was steady, yet carried an unusual sharpness. "First, I have an important announcement to make."
He paused for a moment to make sure everyone's attention was on him.
" Comrade Lin Yi successfully killed a Star Core level Abyssal Beast in the operation two days ago."
As soon as he finished speaking, a suppressed murmur arose in the conference room.
Star Core level entity with Source Energy Unit exceeding one million.
Everyone had a very clear understanding of this.
Li Zhenguo coughed lightly to stop the discussion, then continued, "After killing the Star Core level Abyssal Beast, Comrade Lin Yi obtained a special item from the Spirit Shine Crystal it dropped—[ Star Source Initial Evolution Elixir ]."
"It was this item that helped me regain my health and allowed me to directly gain Stardust level Source Energy."
There will be three more updates, so it will be a little later.
