151: Chapter 151 A Drama of Three Women!
Late afternoon.
Lin Yuan was stretching his muscles in the villa courtyard.
Suddenly—
"Lin Yuan!"
An excited voice came.
Xia Muqing ran over from the laboratory, her face filled with uncontrollable excitement.
She was wearing a white lab coat, her long hair tied into a casual ponytail, and her exquisite face was flushed with excitement.
"It worked!"
Xia Muqing's eyes shone, and she held a test tube filled with blue liquid in her hand.
"I finally researched it!"
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Researched what?"
"Awakening Potion!"
Xia Muqing's voice trembled with excitement:
"Using seven-colored snowflake and a large number of low-level evolution cores, I have extracted a potion that can allow normal people to awaken a Superpower!"
What?!
Lin Yuan's pupils constricted.
Awakening Potion?
This thing was a strategic resource!
In the Apocalypse, the gap between an Ability User and a normal person was the difference between heaven and earth.
If normal people could be awakened in batches...
That was simply a heaven-defying invention!
"What is the effect?"
Lin Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked calmly.
"Theoretically..."
Xia Muqing pushed up her glasses:
"After taking it, there is an 80% probability of awakening an E-rank Superpower, with the type of Superpower being random."
"But..."
She paused, her expression becoming serious:
"There is a 20% probability of death."
Lin Yuan frowned.
A 20% death rate?
That was not low.
It meant that for every five people, one would die.
"However!"
Xia Muqing quickly added:
"If their physique is stronger, or if they have latent potential for a Superpower, the death rate will be significantly reduced!"
"And I am still improving the formula. If I can find better materials, the death rate can be further reduced."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment.
Although a 20% death rate was not low, for the normal people in the Apocalypse...
This might be their only chance to awaken a Superpower.
To become stronger, one had to take risks.
This was the iron rule of the Apocalypse.
"Well done."
Lin Yuan looked at Xia Muqing with appreciation:
"This research is very valuable."
Upon hearing this, Xia Muqing's cheeks turned bright red instantly.
She was praised by Lin Yuan!
Great!
An indescribable joy surged in her heart.
Ever since the rift between her and Lin Yuan had been resolved, she found herself caring more and more about this man's opinion.
They were clearly just research partners...
Why was she so happy?
Xia Muqing bit her lip, suppressing the secret thoughts in her heart.
"Then this potion..."
"Take it to Su Yuyan."
Lin Yuan said indifferently:
"Have her post an announcement in the Shelter for voluntary testing."
"Also..."
His eyes sharpened:
"I will show myself."
Xia Muqing was stunned: "You are going to show yourself?"
"Yes."
Lin Yuan's lips curled into a smile:
"It is time to let those people know who the true master of the Shelter is."
...
At this time.
Su Yuyan's Shelter, central square.
Thousands of female survivors gathered here, whispering to each other.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, Leader Su suddenly gathered everyone..."
"I heard there is an important announcement!"
The discussions rose and fell.
Just then.
Su Yuyan walked onto the high platform, followed by Lin Yuan and Xia Muqing.
Everyone's gaze instantly focused on them.
Especially Lin Yuan.
Was this clean and handsome man the legendary "Master"?
Many people were seeing him in person for the first time.
To be honest...
A little disappointed.
He did look clean, but that was about it.
In the Apocalypse, they had seen too many formidable-looking Ability Users.
Lin Yuan, who looked harmless to humans and animals...
He didn't look like a powerhouse at all.
Lin Yuan felt those questioning gazes, and a playful smile curled on his lips.
Interesting.
It seems that if he didn't show some strength, these people wouldn't be convinced.
"Quiet."
Su Yuyan said coldly, and the entire square instantly fell silent.
The aura of a business queen was still very strong.
"I gathered everyone here today because there is an important matter."
Su Yuyan pointed to Xia Muqing beside her:
"Dr. Xia has developed an Awakening Potion that can allow normal people to awaken a Superpower."
As soon as these words were spoken, the square exploded!
"What?!"
"Awakening Potion?!"
"Is it real?!"
Everyone was so shocked they couldn't speak.
Awakening a Superpower...
This was the dream of every normal person!
In the Apocalypse, without a Superpower, it meant one could only rely on others.
And with a Superpower, even if it was just the lowest E-rank, one could have a certain ability to protect oneself!
"However!"
Su Yuyan raised her volume:
"The potion has a 20% death rate. In other words, out of every five people, one might die."
"Therefore, whether to take it or not is completely voluntary."
The square instantly quieted down.
A 20% death rate...
It was equivalent to Russian roulette.
Many people began to hesitate.
"I... I sign up!"
Just then, a skinny girl raised her hand.
Everyone looked at her.
She was a girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen, small and thin, with a pale face.
"My name is Xiaoyu, and I am willing to test the medicine."
The girl's eyes were firm:
"Rather than being trash for a lifetime, I would rather take a gamble!"
Her words resonated with many people.
"I also sign up!"
"Me too!"
Soon, dozens of people stood out.
They were all the most bottom-tier normal people in the Shelter.
No Superpower, no combat power, they could only do the dirtiest and most tiring work.
They longed to become stronger.
Even if... they had to gamble with their lives.
"Very good."
Lin Yuan spoke at this moment, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears:
"Courage is commendable."
Everyone looked at him.
This man...
Was he the legendary Master?
"My name is Lin Yuan."
Lin Yuan said indifferently:
"The true master of this Shelter."
"The reason you have survived until now is because I provided supplies and Shelter."
"And now, I give you a chance to become stronger."
"Whether to grasp it or give it up is decided by yourselves."
His tone was plain, yet it carried an unquestionable dominance.
Many people felt a chill in their hearts.
This man...
His aura was so strong!
In the end, forty-two female survivors stood out.
Their eyes were firm, clearly having prepared to gamble with their lives.
Xia Muqing began to distribute the potion.
One for each person.
The blue liquid rippled slightly in the test tube, emitting an alluring light.
"Are you ready?"
Lin Yuan asked.
The forty-two people nodded in unison.
"Then... let's begin."
At the command.
The forty-two people drank the potion at the same time!
The next second—
Terrifying Superpower fluctuations erupted!
Flames ignited on some people!
Frost condensed around others!
Vines appeared in the hands of some!
Some people's bodies became transparent!
Various Superpowers were awakened!
But...
Some screamed, blood flowing from their seven orifices, and fell to the ground!
They were dead!
The square fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone held their breath, staring at those who had taken the medicine.
A few minutes later.
The dust settled.
Thirty-eight people successfully awakened a Superpower!
Four people... died.
A 90.5% success rate!
Even higher than the theoretical data!
"Suc... succeeded!"
"I awakened a Superpower!"
"I can feel the power in my body!"
Those who successfully awakened were so excited that they were in tears.
And those who didn't sign up regretted it endlessly.
If they had known the success rate was so high...
They would have signed up too!
Lin Yuan scanned the audience.
"This is just the first batch."
He said indifferently:
"There will be a second batch, a third batch in the future."
"I give you the chance if you want to become stronger."
"Whether you can grasp it depends on yourselves."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people's eyes lit up.
There was still a chance!
Great!
Lin Yuan turned and left.
His goal had been achieved.
To let the people in the Shelter recognize him.
At the same time, he gave them hope to become stronger.
Only a Shelter with hope could develop stably.
...
Night fell.
Lin Yuan returned to the villa.
Just after pushing the door open, he saw Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue had already finished showering, wearing thin pajamas and waiting for him.
Seeing him, both sisters' cheeks were slightly flushed.
"Lin Yuan..."
Ye Qingxue called out in a low voice, her eyes dodging.
Just then—
Knock, knock, knock.
A knock on the door sounded.
"Lin Yuan, I have something to find you for."
Xia Muqing's voice came from outside the door.
Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue looked at each other.
Xia Muqing?
Coming to find Lin Yuan at this time?
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and opened the door.
Xia Muqing stood outside the door, her cheeks slightly red.
She had been busy all day, her body was a bit tense, and she wanted to find Lin Yuan to "relax".
But the moment she pushed the door open—
She was stunned.
In the living room, Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue were sitting on the sofa wearing pajamas.
The atmosphere... was obviously not right.
Xia Muqing's cheeks turned bright red instantly.
Did she... walk into this?!
"Um... am I... am I coming at a bad time?"
Xia Muqing was so embarrassed that her toes were curling.
Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue were also embarrassed.
The three women looked at Lin Yuan at the same time.
Lin Yuan: ???
What is the situation?
Why did the style suddenly change?
"Cough."
He coughed lightly:
"Since you are here, come in."
Xia Muqing bit her lip.
Forget it.
She was going for it!
She braced herself and walked into the room.
Bang!
The door closed.
Inside the villa, a subtle atmosphere fell.
Three peerless beauties.
A cold school beauty, a lively school beauty, and an asexual research fanatic.
At this moment, they were all gathered together.
Lin Yuan looked at the three of them, a smile curling on his lips.
Interesting.
It was really interesting.
This kind of situation...
It was his first time encountering it.
"Then... let's do it together."
Lin Yuan said with a smile.
The three women's cheeks turned bright red at the same time.
But...
No one refused.
The next second, the room fell into a seductive atmosphere.
Lin Yuan also, in the true sense... experienced for the first time what it meant to be "ambushed from three sides".
