"Xiao Liu, be quiet! Young people shouldn't be so irritable!"

An old man in his sixties said, "Qing Cang has already injected it. What's the use of yelling here? Let's see what effect this thing he injected has!"

So, these higher-ups quietly watched. The first injection didn't seem to do anything. Then, the young man took out another one, gave it to Qing Cang again, and Qing Cang injected it again. Immediately afterward, a faint light emanated from his body.

"Is this... an upgrade?"

The higher-ups present had good eyes. Seeing this situation, they were immediately astonished.

They certainly understood Qing Cang's situation. He was considered one of the best among seventh-level ability users because he possessed two skills! He was an evolver.

Because awakened ones needed to be hidden and protected, those who could go out and face the Devourers were all enhancers or evolvers!

There was no doubt that the effect of mutation crystals was vastly different from that of evolution potions. Even if one reached the seventh or eighth level, there were many who had never obtained a single skill.

In this world, there were even ninth-level enhancers who had reached the ninth level without gaining any skills. This was the terrible part about mutation crystals!

Moreover, the same was true for higher-level ability users leveling up. The success rate of mutation crystals was simply appalling. Perhaps after smashing a dozen corresponding mutation crystals, they still wouldn't level up.

One had to know that high-level ability users needed corresponding magic cores to level up. In other words, if a seventh-level ability user like Qing Cang wanted to level up, he could only use eighth-level mutation crystals!

Even in this world, high-level magic cores couldn't be wasted easily because they needed to be stockpiled for the awakened ones.

In case they really found a Devourer nest, these awakened ones who had been suppressing their levels would need to be mobilized. At that time, they would need a large number of sixth-level and above mutation crystals to increase their levels.

Otherwise, with levels that were too low, what could they use to fight the Devourers?

Therefore, evolvers like Qing Cang would generally be given three to five eighth-level mutation crystals. If you could level up, you would get the opportunity to use ninth-level crystals. If you didn't level up, then sorry, you wouldn't have another chance in the future.

Because in this world, all the crystals that everyone obtained had to be handed in and couldn't be kept privately. Otherwise, the consequences would be quite serious!

Qing Cang had already wasted his opportunity, so in his own eyes and in the eyes of others, the peak of his life was seventh level. He wouldn't improve any further until he died at the hands of the Devourers!

But now, those people watched Qing Cang reach the eighth level with their own eyes. Moreover, it was after injecting two potions given by that young man. Without a doubt, Qing Cang's upgrade was definitely due to these two potions.

Although they couldn't hear the sound, everyone present realized the magic of that potion and thought about what this meant for them. Immediately, everyone's breathing became heavy!

The youth called Xiao Liu, who had been yelling just now, stood up and was about to rush out the door when a person next to him immediately grabbed him and said, "Liu Buzhu, what are you doing?"

"Go get that backpack! There must be more of that stuff Qing Cang injected in there. We must get it all! It all has to be ours!"

The young man Liu Buzhu shouted loudly.

"Shut up! Sit back down!"

That person frowned and reprimanded.

"Uncle Wang, don't you feel tempted when you see that potion? With that stuff, our awakened ones are guaranteed to level up!"

Liu Buzhu turned his head and said anxiously.

They couldn't hear the sound, so they still didn't know that Qing Cang had now become an awakened one!

"But we don't know the situation yet, so we can't be impatient! After Qing Cang comes over, we'll ask him and then make a decision!"

The person who grabbed Liu Buzhu was about fifty years old. He frowned and said.

"Wang Long is right! Let's see how things go first!"

The old man who spoke earlier also said.

"No way!"

Liu Buzhu immediately shouted, "Hmph! Qing Cang is definitely dissatisfied with us for sending them out as prisoners. Moreover, this guy is afraid of death. Look, he can even sacrifice his own sister to survive.

What that person said to him before must have been about the situation with that potion. Look at Qing Cang, he used it without hesitation. He must know the effects of the potion!

If we rely on him, he might use up all those potions. By then, it'll be too late for us to do anything!"

"Qing Cang isn't that kind of person!"

The old man said in a deep voice, "Moreover, the people who came back also said what happened at the time. Qing Cang himself wanted to lure away the fighter jet in order to let the fighter jet capture him.

Originally, it should have been Qing Cang who was captured, but Qing Yun kicked him away at the last moment, so Qing Yun was captured!

Besides, their team was going to be captured as bait. It wasn't just Qing Cang, but the others were the same. In the next few days, they would still pretend to be scouting and eventually be taken to the Devourer base!"

"Hmph! Elder Yun! I know you like Qing Cang, so you often protect them. You even wanted to change people when they were selected. We can ignore all of that, but..."

Liu Buzhu snorted coldly. Although this person was an elder of the Joint Army Department, he had no foundation and had climbed up from the very bottom step by step. Although he had absolute talent and practical knowledge, his identity was destined to not be valued by other noble people.

Therefore, even though his status was much lower than that of this Elder Yun, Liu Buzhu, who had a family backing him, was not afraid of Elder Yun. He looked at Elder Yun with some contempt and said, "Now this matter is related to our future. Do you think that commoners like Qing Cang and the others can participate in such a thing?

Entrusting such a big matter to him, he simply can't handle it, and he doesn't have the qualifications. When did lowly commoners start deciding the future of our entire planet?

Although he brought that person back, his job ends here. We will contact that person. As for Qing Cang, let him take his team members to rest and continue their mission tomorrow!"

Liu Buzhu was quite tough. His words, without any consideration, made Elder Yun's expression a little stiff. However, he still took a deep breath and didn't say anything!

He knew that if he said anything more, he wouldn't be able to help Qing Cang and would only harm him!

"No matter what, I think we should at least let Qing Cang come in and explain the situation. After all, only they know what they said before!"

At this time, another person stood up to defuse the situation and said.

"That's natural. He still has one of those potions in his hand!"

Liu Buzhu said with a sneer, then looked at a person behind him: "Keep an eye on that room. No one inside is allowed to go anywhere!"

"Yes!"

That person was actually an eighth-level ability user. Upon hearing this, he immediately replied respectfully, then turned and went out...
