Zhou Yu was truly stunned when he heard this.
"Why didn't Elder Lin send the potions to the laboratory?" Zhou Yu asked.
The laboratory had complete facilities and adequate personnel.
It was the most appropriate place to research these potions.
Zhao Ruyue did not answer immediately. Instead, she glanced around.
Then, she lowered her voice and said, "It's rumored that traces of the laboratory were found in this batch of potions, so Elder Lin is worried."
"This makes things difficult for our medical team."
Zhou Yu suddenly understood.
It seemed that after he had slipped away yesterday, Lin Weidong's side had indeed made some new discoveries!
But what did that have to do with him?
Zhou Yu was not a member of the Dragon Group, so these matters were none of his business.
Thus, Zhou Yu merely nodded faintly. "Alright, I hope your medical team has a smooth process."
After saying that, Zhou Yu walked away with big strides.
Zhao Ruyue watched Zhou Yu's retreating back, her eyes widening in shock.
This man...
was truly too cold-hearted!
Thinking of the task Lin Weidong had assigned her, she felt it was as difficult as reaching the heavens!
After finishing the meeting with the medical team, Lin Weidong found Zhao Ruyue privately.
He said he had a task to give her.
That was to make Zhou Yu interested in this batch of potions and voluntarily join the research!
Zhao Ruyue could understand this.
She knew Zhou Yu's capabilities well; the entire medical team combined was not as good as Zhou Yu alone.
Therefore, having Zhou Yu participate in the research would undoubtedly be of great benefit to the current research.
Unfortunately.
Zhou Yu had never been interested in these internal affairs of the Dragon Group.
Moreover, Zhou Yu always adhered to the principle of doing what was appropriate for one's role.
He would not do anything extra!
This was why Lin Weidong, knowing Zhou Yu's personality, had asked Zhao Ruyue for help.
Zhao Ruyue initially wanted to refuse.
It was a joke; if she could command Zhou Yu, why would she be chasing after him at the new recruit training base?
However, Lin Weidong proposed a very tempting exchange.
If Zhao Ruyue could manage to get Zhou Yu to help the medical team.
Then for the sixth mission, they would be partners...
Zhao Ruyue thought about it, gritted her teeth, and agreed.
The first encounter, however, resulted in her being at a disadvantage.
Zhao Ruyue looked at Zhou Yu's receding figure, gritted her teeth, and quickly chased after him.
"So lively."
By the time they arrived at the conference room, many new recruits had already gathered inside.
Even though they knew that the rewards for the top three places had nothing to do with them.
They just enjoyed the spectacle!
Furthermore, who could tell what the future held?
As long as they continued to complete missions, who knew if they might achieve a ranking in the next mission?
Getting a preview of the rewards would greatly boost their morale!
Zhou Yu, with Da Xiong, weaved through the crowd.
After much effort, they finally found a slightly less crowded corner.
As soon as the two sat down, they saw Ouyang Feng carrying three bento boxes.
Da Xiong immediately waved. "Over here!"
Ouyang Feng, panting, ran over with the bento boxes.
The three of them eagerly lifted the lids and began to eat.
Ouyang Feng complained, "The cafeteria is too far from the conference room. I almost had to risk my life to get here."
The meeting had officially started when Ouyang Feng arrived.
The distribution of rewards was naturally saved for last.
At the beginning, it was naturally the members of the Dragon Group and Lin Weidong reporting on recent work.
They also discussed the Shadow Organization.
After all, it was discovered that the Shadow Organization was very close to the new recruit training base.
Lin Weidong had a responsibility to make all the new recruits understand their current situation.
He warned everyone not to wander around.
Zhou Yu and the others already knew these things, so they just buried their heads in their food.
And so.
Amidst the discussions in the conference room, the aroma of food wafted.
Many new recruits had rushed to the conference room immediately after finishing their training and hadn't had lunch yet.
Smelling the aroma of the food, their stomachs began to rumble!
After discussing the situation at the new recruit training base for a while, Lin Weidong began to announce the rewards.
"After discussions within the Dragon Group and by the observation group, the rewards for the top three places in the fifth mission are as follows."
"First place, one Yellow-grade Spirit Artifact. Second place, the opportunity to choose a cultivation technique to learn. Third place, one Qi Refining Pill."
Although everyone knew that the rewards for the fifth mission might be more generous than the last one.
They all fell silent when they heard Lin Weidong announce these items.
Who could tell them why the rewards for the fifth mission were so good?
Take the Qi Refining Pill for third place, for example.
Just by hearing the name, they knew it was valuable.
Qi Refining Pills could help cleanse the marrow and refine the realm!
There were very few people who could refine pills, and on top of that, Qi Refining Pills were of a high grade.
Basically, even the top aristocratic families would have at most two or three of them.
These two or three Qi Refining Pills were something even their own geniuses were reluctant to give away.
Unexpectedly, the Dragon Group was willing to give one away for just third place in a mission...
"My god, why are my eyes a little red?"
"Missed out by a mile! If I had known the third-place reward was a Qi Refining Pill, I would have taken the mission more seriously. If I couldn't get first or second, at least I could have gotten third."
"This kid is really going to make it big!"
Many people cast envious and jealous glances at the person who took third place.
With this Qi Refining Pill, their strength would undergo a qualitative leap after taking it.
At the martial arts competition, they would have an even greater advantage!
Of course, while the reward for third place was tempting, the reward for second place was even more so.
Being able to learn a cultivation technique was an extremely fortunate thing in itself.
However, Ouyang Feng's face showed no expression.
There was no surprise either.
Learning by Zhou Yu's side, he had learned much more than this. A mere cultivation technique was something he no longer cared about!
"Speaking of which, who was the genius who proposed the reward for first place? Giving a Spirit Artifact to a new recruit of the Dragon Group is too extravagant."
A new recruit asked in confusion.
Spirit Artifacts were divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.
Even though Yellow-grade was the lowest, Spirit Artifacts were rare and hard to come by!
Many martial artists who had practiced martial arts for many years still did not have their own Spirit Artifact.
This showed the rarity of Spirit Artifacts.
And now, the Dragon Group was going to give a Yellow-grade Spirit Artifact to the first-place winner of the mission.
This easily led to speculation!
"Perhaps it's because the first place was Da Xiong, so the Dragon Group was biased and gave him such a reward. If we had won first place, maybe the reward wouldn't be so good."
Someone said sourly.
That was a Spirit Artifact, who wouldn't be covetous?
If this were placed in the outside world, even a small family obtaining a Spirit Artifact.
Would be enough to be the reason for that small family's destruction!
Da Xiong was merely a new recruit of the Dragon Group, yet he could possess...
