Chapter 164 This is a double-edged sword

The wind is cold and the temperature remains low.

But the upper level of Shelter 36 was bustling with activity.

Today is the day when the Second Awakening Potions are distributed for free.

When the news broke a few days ago, residents of the shelter were shocked.

You Wuchang has never announced the poaching mission to the public.

Only the shelter's top management knew what was going on.

Now this explosive news has come, directly igniting the "enthusiasm" of ordinary people

Or rather... greed.

At this time, You Wuchang stood in the middle of the crowd, looked around, and clasped his hands.

The noisy sounds around suddenly quieted down.

“Some are born rich, some are born poor.”

You Wuchang's voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating and could be clearly heard by everyone.

"But this world is fair." You Wuchang paced back and forth and continued slowly, "Everyone has a chance to awaken and become a superpowered person."

“It’s just success and failure.”

"Becoming a superpowered person will make you the backbone of the shelter and the best of the best."

"The words are harsh, but the truth is true. You have to accept your fate."

Once you are born into this world, you have to accept this class oppression.

There is a natural and insurmountable gap between ordinary people and those with special abilities when it comes to hunting ferocious beasts.

The core of the crystal source is the money of this world, produced by ferocious beasts.

There is a universal truth in any world: money can make the devil do it.

As long as you have money, even if you are an ordinary person, you can hire someone with special abilities to do things for you.

Under this premise, we must return to the basics and hunt down ferocious beasts.

This is an unbreakable cycle.

Of course, except for Shen Bei.

At this moment, You Wuchang's calm gaze passed over the dense crowd and he exhaled again, "And now, our shelter's biological research institute has made the latest progress and developed a secondary awakening potion."

"You've probably heard of its specific effects, so I'll just give a brief overview. First, it allows ordinary people to awaken a second time. However, there's a drawback: if the awakening fails, it won't be as safe as the first awakening, and you could die."

As he spoke, You Wuchang waved his hand.

Two staff members brought up a box.

There was a hole in the box.

You Wuchang placed one hand on the box and said to the crowd, "There are only fifty bottles of the Second Awakening Potion this time. They are free this time, and the quantity is limited."

"If anyone wants to try their luck at getting rich, whether for themselves or their family, wife, or daughter, please come forward and drop your nameplate into the box. I will randomly draw fifty lucky winners."

The crowd began to stir, and some people couldn't wait to take off their nameplates and step forward.

The nameplate is equivalent to an ID card. It is an essential document that every resident must carry with them.

There are quite a few people in the shelter, more than 100,000. The guards patrol every day and use special instruments to decode and check the nameplate data anytime and anywhere.

Those without nameplates will naturally be interrogated.

If you accidentally lose it, you will have to ask the neighbors around to prove your identity and make a new nameplate, which is very troublesome.

You Wuchang gave a final warning: "The risk is quite high. According to estimates, there is a 50% chance of death. Please think twice before acting."

The reminders don't seem to have any effect.

Still can't stop the crazy residents.

Some people are just single, and no one cares when they die, and they have no worries.

Some people stepped forward with the encouragement of their wives.

Some children cried loudly and refused to let their father go, but still tried to stop their father.

There were even those who were pushed to the position despite being scolded by their family members.

Life is full of different situations, each with its own interpretation.

In their view, if they fail, they will die. If they don’t even dare to gamble, they won’t even dare to pick up wealth if it falls on the ground.

In their view, if there is a person with super powers in the family, everyone will benefit.

In their view, whether they are fathers or husbands, they are risking their lives for the whole family.

Not a moment.

Half the box of nameplates was filled.

There are about three hundred people.

If the guards hadn't stopped them, there would have been a steady stream of residents wanting to throw nameplates in.

Shen Bei was watching the fun from the outside.

Rock squeezed next to him and poked him: "Why don't you throw the nameplate in?"

"Do you really want me to die?" Shen Bei stared at Rock with a reckless look.

Rock twitched his nose: "What if you also awaken, wouldn't that mean——"

"Let's talk later."

Shen Bei interrupted him directly, turned around and walked quickly to the side.

Rock looked over suspiciously.

In the direction Shen Bei was walking, Niu Ben was wearing a white coat, walking towards them with Ya Yi and holding a box.

But Shen Bei walked over quickly, grabbed Niu Ben's neck, and dragged him into an alley.

"What are you doing?"

Niu Ben's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "How much have you drunk? Why are you pinching me? I'm Niu Ben, brother! Did you get the wrong person?"

Shen Bei looked Niu Ben up and down, with a look of disappointment on his face: "Are you crazy?"

Niu Ben hummed in confusion, "This is incomprehensible. Explain what you mean."

Shen Bei glanced at the crowd outside from the side. Fortunately, those people's eyes were on You Wuchang and they didn't notice the situation here.

"Take off your white coat!" Shen Bei said with a frown.

"why?"

Shen Bei's tone was extremely heavy: "Have you ever thought carefully about whether the second awakening potion you developed is a double-edged sword?"

"This is a blessing! How can it be a double-edged sword?" Niu Ben retorted fiercely.

"A 50% chance of death!" Shen Bei grabbed Niu Ben's shoulders and continued, "If a father dies from your potion, his children will hate you, his mother!"

Niu Ben's expression paused, his eyes darkened, and after a moment of silence, he stammered, "It's none of my business? Did I force them?"

"Can you and the child make sense of this?" Shen Bei gritted his teeth and said, "Take off your white coat and let Yayi take over. You have to be careful about what you do, or you won't get stones thrown at you."

Niu Ben was sulking, taking off his white coat and mumbling, "I'm doing a good thing, why is it a bad thing when it comes to you? Do you think I'm being reasonable?"

"If I can speak reasonably, I can conquer the world with my mouth." Shen Bei rolled his eyes.

Niu Ben was really upset.

You know, the shelter has a very high level of protection for itself.

Few people knew that they were the ones leading the research and development of the medicine.

He should clearly accept the worship and gratitude of the entire shelter.

Harvesting reputation points.

As a result, Shen Bei hid himself behind the scenes.

I didn't gain any fame and my emotions weren't satisfied, which made me very unhappy.

Who doesn’t want to be praised by everyone?

Isn’t the purpose of life to satisfy one’s own emotions?

"I think you're just worrying too much." Niu Ben raised his chin and said dissatisfiedly, "You're a troublemaker."

Shen Bei grabbed Niu Ben's head and said seriously, "Greed and vain will lead to death the fastest."

"Okay, okay, stop wasting time."

Niu Ben turned and walked out of the alley.

Shen Bei chased after him for two steps, kicked Niu Niu Ben on the butt, and said viciously: "If you keep nagging me, I'll kick your balls!"

Niu Ben covered his butt, wailed, and quickly slipped away.

Shen Bei turned around and returned to his original position.

Look towards the center of the crowd again.

Yayi, wearing a white coat and holding a box, came to You Wuchang.

The crowd suddenly cheered:

"I'm coming!"

"This must be the main person who developed the secondary awakening potion, right?"

"It should be. Who wouldn't envy such a glorious moment?"

"He looks quite young."

"This is talent!"

……

Because Niu Ben was stopped by Shen Bei, time was wasted.

At this time, the residents all regarded Yayi as the main person, and all eyes were on him.

You Wuchang looked around and was stunned when he didn't see Niu Ben.

After a moment, You Wuchang understood something. Maybe Niu Ben didn't want to stand out and didn't care about his reputation and fame.

He is a person who is dedicated to scientific research.

So low-key.

You Wuchang even felt a little impressed.

Yayi was also a little confused. Where did the director go?

After looking around, I finally saw Niu Niuben.

But he was seen running back and forth outside.

They were chatting with the children of some high-ranking officials, but I couldn't hear what they were talking about.

Yayi scratched his head and stood straight.

This gave him great satisfaction in his vanity.

Being looked at with admiration, I felt comfortable and fluttery all over.

Yayi grinned and said, "Director, it's not that I'm vain, it's because you didn't come."

Shen Bei was very satisfied with Niu Ben's performance. He was no different from an ordinary person among the crowd.

"Where were we talking about?"

Shen Bei asked Rock who was standing beside him.

"I mean..." Rock's eyes moved, and he deliberately considered his tone: "You should also awaken. This is the mainstream of the world."

"Why should I follow the mainstream?" Shen Bei asked with a smile.

"Isn't that nonsense?" Rock said angrily, "How did the Spider Queen kill the evil seed? You saw it with your own eyes, and you don't have any thoughts in your heart?"

"I only have three minutes, what ideas can I have?"

"Fuck! I'm not talking about the gun below, but the gun in your hand. How many ferocious beasts can the bullet kill?"

Shen Bei's eyes flickered when he heard this. He turned to look at the crowd and said inexplicably, "One day, the world will end in my hands."

Shen Bei firmly believes that the New World will end in his hands, and faster than Dr. Batu.

"Fuck you," Rock cursed. "You must have drunk all my Moutai. You're still drunk."

Rock thinks Shen Bei is just stubborn.

The pattern cannot be opened.

The road doesn't go far.

Just now.

The guard in the center of the group began shaking the box, dislocating the nameplates inside.

Followed by a loud shaking.

You Wuchang reached out and grabbed the nameplate, and the names were read out one by one:

"Bowman, Li Ji, Hiraguchi Riki, Takekawa Yu..."

Following the roll call.

One after another, resident ran to the inner circle and stood in line.

Cheers and sighs were heard from the crowd from time to time.

All fifty "guinea pigs" are in place.

Yayi followed behind You Wuchang.

You Wuchang distributed the second awakening potions to them one by one.

"Thank you, General. Thank you, Yayi."

"The general is mighty!"

"Thank you!"

……

The lucky ones kept nodding and bowing, holding the potion in their hands, trembling all over.

I don't know whether to be excited or scared.

After distribution is completed.

You Wuchang said solemnly, "I'm telling you once, there's a 50% chance of death. That means half of the fifty of you might die."

"Of course, if we're lucky, maybe everyone will survive."

"I'm going to ask you one last question now. Do you want to quit?"

No one quits, and no one retreats.

You Wuchang nodded: "Okay, then... let's get started, everyone. Good luck!"
