Chapter 306: Rover’s Remains

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Ronghui came back to his senses and changed the topic to the ball of flesh that Rover had left behind.

Chen Yiming was now one of the pillars of Jiangnan province and even the Daxia Kingdom. He was a playboy who had relations with many young ladies, was not very disciplined and did things at his own pace, and was capable of but unwilling to take on important roles.

He had many shortcomings, but this did not stop Jiangnan province from using this person as a symbol of their strength, hiding his shortcomings and highlighting his strengths.

They even took the initiative to help him deal with the things that he had overlooked to reinforce his positive image.

“I didn’t expect Rover to be a complete, man-made bloodline warrior.”

Chen Yiming sighed after hearing Wang Ronghui’s explanation.

“It’s not completely the same as what the Western countries are promoting. In fact, Rover must be involved in the otherworld, even though we don’t know the details,” Wang Ronghui added.

Chen Yiming nodded his head.

If it was really as the publicity materials said, the Western countries would have already mass-produced others like Rover. The Sam Nation was known as the beacon of humanity, and they had a large number of weaker countries behind them. They should not only have two martial masters.

Chen Yiming had originally intended to hand the ball of flesh over to the biological research institute. After he found out that Rover was closely related to the bloodline warriors, he passed the ball of flesh into Wang Ronghui’s hands.

“This is?” Wang Ronghui’s hands trembled. Of course, he knew that the ball of flesh was of extraordinary value, but he hadn’t expected Chen Yiming to give it away for nothing.

“It’s a ball of flesh with a powerful life force. It fell out of Rover’s body, and I can’t eat it. Let the research institute study it and try to crack the secret within it,”

......

Chen Yiming said calmly, his tone nonchalant.

“How can that be? The Western corporations will definitely not let the matter rest. If this thing is handed over to us, if it is lost or snatched away…”

“It’s a small matter! If the Western corporations dare to extend their hands here, I’ll cut them off again.”

“However, the level of scientific research in Jiangnan province is limited. If the ball of flesh is ruined, it will be hard for us not to blame ourselves.”

“Why are you asking so many questions? If you don’t want it, I’ll destroy the ball of flesh so that others won’t covet it,” Chen Yiming said seriously.

“Alright then! I’ll definitely get the best people to be in charge of this matter and try to recruit the top experts in the capital. Jiangnan province will definitely not let us down.”

Hearing that he had the intention to destroy the ball of flesh, Wang Ronghui hurriedly agreed and gave a solemn promise.

Actually, when Chen Yiming took out the ball of flesh and introduced it as Rover’s remains, Wang Ronghui had already thought about it. However, he couldn’t say anything because he was afraid that the research institute in Jiangnan province wouldn’t be able to hold on to something of this level.

His initial expectations were that he would be very satisfied if he could borrow it for a few rounds of research.

The war suddenly stopped, and another three days passed peacefully. During this time, the humans sent out helicopters and martial arts experts to monitor the situation 24 hours a day.

Among the nearly 10,000 treants who had barged into Jiangnan province, those who had not mastered internal force would not be able to survive until the next day. They died due to various mutations in their bodies.

On the third day, even though treants who had mastered internal force could continuously absorb energy from the ground to replenish their energy, maintaining their internal force to protect themselves against the nuclear radiation still caused these treants to fall into a weakened state.

On the night of the third day, some treants who could not withstand the nuclear radiation retracted their roots and transformed into their humanoid form. They walked towards the space-travel passage to return to the otherworld.

After another night, at dawn, the strange mountain village fell completely silent. There were no longer any living treants taking root here. Only the remains of the treants that had died from mutations due to nuclear radiation remained.

Some of these corpses had deformed lumps growing out of them, some had completely decayed and lost all signs of life, and some were covered in grayish-white spots of various sizes.

Chen Yiming circled the area within 10 kilometers, but the treants rooted in the village did not stir.

He tried to mobilize the power of the clouds. The treants immediately seemed to have sensed something, and the outline of faces appeared, revealing panicked, complicated, and thoughtful expressions.

“A creature from the otherworld like the treant isn’t something so simple. Even a treant at the warrior realm is so sensitive to the power of nature.” Chen Yiming’s expression was solemn.

He did not know how the treants had sensed it. Was it their ability? Or was it some other reason?

However, the biggest reason for the treants to stop their invasion was undoubtedly because he had mobilized the power of the clouds the night he ambushed Rover.

Chen Yiming had not expected to be noticed from so far away, though he had used too much force when controlling the clouds, and the range of his power was a little large.

“It’s impossible for the treants to occupy the territory of the black river through war for no reason. In the desolate Gobi Desert, the huge roots of the treants under the ground are the only thing that can’t be seen clearly.”

At this thought, Chen Yiming had the intention to send his spiritual figure into the desert to investigate.

However, on second thought, since he could become stronger by just adding points steadily, there was no need to put Jiangnan province back in danger of the treants’ invasion for his own selfish reasons. Therefore, he temporarily suppressed his curiosity.

In any case, it was the same no matter how strong he became. This was how confident he was with the martial arts talent system.

On the day that all the invading treants retreated to the space-travel passage, the major cities in Jiangnan province began to clean up the plants and move them from the city to the wilderness.

In Jiangnan City, at the former location of the city’s forest park.

The park, which was originally covered in trees, had become a bare and empty area. At this moment, an army of 1,000 soldiers was gathered here. Other than that, there was also a group of civilian martial arts factions.

For some reason, before they left the city to eliminate the mutant plants in the wilderness, the military had invited Han Qiufeng to sing the song ‘Tomorrow Will Be Better’. It was said that it was to encourage the people.

Many of the civilian factions participating in the operation scoffed at this.

To them, the arts could not save the world. No matter how beautiful her singing was, it was useless. Only strength could bring them a sufficient sense of security, and they did not agree with the military’s way of doing things.

However, they could not win against the military, so they suppressed their urge to complain and listened to the entire song.

The only highlight was that the woman who was singing was very beautiful, causing many martial arts practitioners who thought that they had good conditions to imagine having further relations with Han Qiufeng.

Chen Yiming returned to Jiangnan City from the strange mountain village.

It was said that the newly reorganized research institute had made a major discovery while studying the ball of flesh left behind by Rover. He planned to check it out.

As noon approached, Chen Yiming felt a little hungry when he heard the sounds of cooking coming from the small restaurants along the street.

He chose a random shop and walked in.

“What do you want to eat?”

The person in charge of taking orders from the customers was a young girl. She had a sweet smile and was very polite. She had a small dimple at the corner of her mouth and looked to be about 16 or 17 years old.

“Three servings, no, five servings of stir-fried beef. Help me choose a few dishes to go with it,” Chen Yiming said as he glanced at the menu.

With his appetite, eating three or five servings was not much of a difference. It was just that he could eat a few more mouthfuls to satisfy his cravings.

“Please wait a moment!”

The young girl passed the number plate to Chen Yiming. He reached out to take it and realized that she hadn’t let go of it. He lowered his head and realized that she was still in a daze.

“Ahem! Ahem!” Chen Yiming coughed twice to remind her.

“I’m sorry, I was distracted.” The young girl was shaken out of her daze and quickly apologized.

“It’s fine,” Chen Yiming replied as he took a seat at an empty table.

He thought to himself that even if he didn’t manage to use the system after transmigrating, he should be able to do well with his face. Chen Yiming subconsciously ignored the changes to his body brought about by his cultivation.

In reality, if he did not embark on the path of martial arts, his body’s owner would be an ordinary loser.

Soon, five servings of stir-fried beef were brought over by the young girl. She even gave him a bottle of beverage for free and explained with a smile that every customer who came to eat that day would receive one.

Chen Yiming waited for the other party to turn around before glancing at the other tables. Most of them had no drinks. He suspected that this young girl was the daughter of the restaurant owner.

The low voices of the other diners could be heard.

“Have you heard? The invading treants have been defeated.”

“I knew it. There was a report on the morning news. I followed it every day.”

“The treants didn’t do much! The province created such a huge formation, with the nuclear explosions and the mobilization of an army to surround them. I didn’t expect it to end so quickly.”

“Who knows? In any case, the state of war has already been canceled. After dinner, I have to go back to the company to work overtime. I suddenly miss staying at home.”

After having his meal, Chen Yiming left the restaurant and walked dozens of meters away.

Across the street, a beautiful woman wearing a cap, large sunglasses, and a long trench coat walked out of a shop with a cup of milk tea in her hand. Beside her were two burly men in black suits.

“It’s you!”

Chen Yiming was about to head to the research institute when he heard a familiar voice. He looked across the street and exclaimed, “Han Qiufeng, it’s you!”

Even though Han Qiufeng was in military attire and had wrapped herself up tightly, Chen Yiming could still recognize her at a glance. However, he didn’t expect that after not seeing her for a few days, the other party seemed to have completely gotten rid of the trouble around her.

The original manager had disappeared, and two burly bodyguards had replaced her.

Han Qiufeng jogged over from across the street. She guiltily took off his baseball cap and sunglasses, revealing her exquisite face. “I didn’t even have a chance to thank you. It’s all thanks to you being there that day. Without your help, I would have been finished.”

“It’s alright! I can’t stand those dirty things either. I just happened to run into you,” Chen Yiming said casually.

When Han Qiufeng heard this, she was instantly filled with disappointment. It was a little different from what she had expected.

It had to be known that she had only been able to escape from the bad situation because she had met this benefactor who was willing to help her.

After that day, the person who had set up a trap for her, a second-generation martial artist, came to beg for forgiveness. At that time, that person looked really miserable. He had lost an arm and became a one-armed man at a young age.

Other than that, she was quickly arranged to enter the military and become a female soldier. However, she did not need to report to the military and was still living a normal life.

The management contract was also quickly transferred to Jiangnan province’s television station. An experienced manager took over the job, and four burly bodyguards were assigned to take turns guarding her in pairs for 24 hours a day.

She had never even dared to dream of such treatment. After all, in this era, martial arts reigned supreme, and everything else was inferior.

Some of the passersby recognized the popular Han Qiufeng and looked over curiously.

Chen Yiming had an idea and put on Han Qiufeng’s sunglasses. He said, “There are too many people here. I like to keep a low profile, so I’ll leave first.”

With that, he left without looking back.

By the time Han Qiufeng reacted, he had already walked far away. She hesitated for half a second more, and he disappeared from the end of the street.

The Jiangnan province’s biological research institute was only a street away from Jiangnan University.

It was originally just a small unit. However, after suddenly receiving the support of the government, the small units and residential houses beside it were cleared out and quickly modified for use by the provincial biological research institute.

The institute head, Wu Weiguo, was over 50 years old. He had a full head of short white hair, but he was still full of energy. He did not seem to be tired from old age.

At this moment, he was walking back and forth between the various laboratories. The entire building was relatively quiet, and some of the young researchers did not dare to speak even in low voices. Only the sound of equipment operating could be heard.

Previously, there was a researcher who could not stand the strict rules. After he was discovered slacking off, he complained a little and tried to defend himself, and he was chased out of the research institute. The institute head, Wu Weiguo, had announced that he had been fired.

This researcher was not someone dispensable. He had worked in a key laboratory in the capital for many years and had returned to Jiangnan province a few years ago. He had always been a core member of the project.

This move shocked all the staff in the biological research institute. After that, no one dared to slack off.

A soldier ran quickly towards the research building. The sound of his footsteps came from the stairwell. After the soldier found Wu Weiguo, he informed him that Chen Yiming had arrived.

Wu Weiguo toned down his serious expression and turned into an amiable old man. He followed the soldier downstairs.

Chen Yiming was wearing a pair of large sunglasses and walking around the research institute with a guard.

With a sweep of his spiritual power, he discovered that there were researchers working in every laboratory in every building. Furthermore, everyone was extremely serious and was racing against time to conduct experiments.

He thought to himself, “Not bad! It seems that there is no problem with the way they are dealing with the ball of flesh left behind by Rover.”

The ball of flesh was not of much use to him, but it was of great scientific value. If they used it well, they might be able to catch up to the research on bloodline warriors from the Western countries.

If it was handed over to the wrong person, it would be troublesome. There might be some trouble. After all, the people who coveted the item left behind by Rover would only give up if the item remained in his hands.

Wu Weiguo exited from the stairwell and quickly walked towards Chen Yiming and the guard.

“Sorry to keep you waiting,” Wu Weiguo greeted him and took the initiative to shake his hand.

“It’s nothing. The research institute is quite busy,” Chen Yiming replied.

He got to know the institute head briefly and they exchanged a few pleasantries. He then followed him to the basement where the ball of flesh was sealed away.

The entrance to the basement was guarded by martial arts experts from the military. It was the same inside. After going through a total of three security procedures, the two of them were able to reach the room where the ball of flesh was stored.

As soon as he entered, Chen Yiming saw that the ball of flesh left behind by Rover had changed drastically. Many tubes were inserted into it, and it was soaked in a pool of green liquid.

Its size had not changed, but its life force had become much stronger. Furthermore, it was beating continuously like a real heart.

At the same time, the pool of green liquid was gradually becoming paler. Every minute or so, the ball of flesh would discharge a stream of bright red air into the tube.
