Chapter 172: Attribute Breaking 100 (1)

Irene gave him a small nod but said nothing.

However, Zhou Jing took the initiative to say, “Hello, Commander Irene.”

“Hmm.” Irene’s tone was calm, and her charming face was expressionless and rather cold.

After receiving a response, Zhou Jing quietly opened the interface and used his detection.

The next moment, Irene’s attributes appeared on the interface.

[Attributes: Physical Fitness 80 (Second Order Max), Resistance 70, Perception 50, Spirit 22, Energy 15]

“The total value of all her attributes is higher than that of Keriber, but the her resistance is lower than his.” Zhou Jing did a simple calculation.

The two strongest people in the entire Terra Empire were in this room.

“I wonder who will win if they fight… My vote goes to Keriber.”

Zhou Jing detected the King—he was not an ordinary person. He was actually at First Enhancement.

After a brief introduction, Becky spoke. “Bill, I’ve heard about your talents. When did you realize you had them?”

“A long time ago, when I was a child—”

Zhou Jing composed himself and said what he had long prepared.

This time, the king came to meet him personally. On the one hand, it was to get to know talented people, and on the other hand, it was also to observe. Most of the time, Becky asked questions, and Zhou Jing answered.

Fortunately, he did not choose a surname this time. He could deal with others using a surname, but not the king.

He told them that he came from a village that had been destroyed by the mutant beasts. This village Carole from a rumor that Jason had heard during his journey. Because the villagers had either died or dispersed, it was difficult to verify his identity.

At the moment, no one present suspected anything. This kind of background was not uncommon.

While the king was observing him, Zhou Jing was also observing the King. Becky was not the amiable type. He was full of energy and dignity yet did not make people feel pressured. However, he was a very imposing person, making people involuntarily sit upright in front of him.

Although the other party was only the ruler of a primitive country, this was the first time Zhou Jing felt the aura of a superior being… He was just an ordinary person in the main world. Other than watching the news of the leaders of the various countries on television, he had never come into contact with such a powerful figure in his life.

In addition, Zhou Jing was also observing if there were any lifeforms from other dimensions among the people present. Unfortunately, he did not discover that unique aura. Either there was no one there, or they were hiding too well.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Becky roughly understood Zhou Jing’s “situation.” He stopped asking questions and changed the topic.

“Your talent is a gift from nature. It has extraordinary meaning. Don’t waste your talent.”

“I’ve always been happy to serve the Empire.” Zhou Jing tactfully expressed his stance.

Becky nodded. “Well… maybe in a few days, the Empire will need you to participate in some important research. Before that, I want you to focus on the blood potion. If you need anything, just let me know.”

“Is this a hint for me to stop making the Energy Potion?” Zhou Jing’s heart stirred.

He didn’t know the important research the king wanted. He thought it might be the more confidential “advanced technology” that the workshop had mentioned.

“What research is it?” Zhou Jing asked directly.

Becky pondered for a moment, then said slowly:

“It’s fine to tell you now. The Empire has been thinking of ways to research a few new blood potions. One is a compound potion that can fuse the strengthening of various mutant beasts into a bottle of potion.

“The second would be a special blood potion. It would allow the hunters to inherit the special abilities of certain mutated beasts, such as breathing fire, releasing electricity, and so on.

“The third type is the gentle Mutant Blood Potion. The effects of the current Mutant Blood Enhancement are very good, but it’s too easy to die. Every year, a large number of hunter apprentices die in vain even after painstakingly training for the potion. Perhaps we can try to weaken the effects of the potion and split a single enhancement into multiple enhancements, decreasing the mortality rate and allowing ordinary people to use it safely. This way, although the hunters will become weaker, their numbers will increase unprecedentedly. No one will die suddenly again, and we might not have to be afraid of the threat of mutant beasts in the future.”

As he spoke, an emotional expression appeared on Becky’s face, as if he was pitying those who had died violently because of the blood potion.

Hearing this, Keriber couldn’t help but sigh. “That’s right. In order to become a hunter, too many good young men endured periods of loneliness and pain. They train hard year after year, but in the end, they didn’t step onto the battlefield to fight against the mutated beasts and died in vain. After years of training and anticipation, they could only die in exchange. Every time I see their corpses, I feel extremely heartbroken.”

Zhou Jing nodded silently.

Although he did not know if it was sincere, he still respected people with ideals.

Although the goal was still to obtain benefits, there was nothing bad about using the special advantage of an apostle to do something that could change the world.

Becky didn’t continue. He instead turned to Irene and said, “Choose two powerful and reliable guards and follow Bill. In the future, follow his orders and protect his safety.”

“Got it.” Irene nodded.

Zhou Jing blinked.

“Did he just assign me a guard?”

This was the first time he had received such treatment.

As for whether it was surveillance, he did not know… It would probably be difficult to meet up with Jason again after this.

However, now that Bill was on the right track, he did not have to interact with Jason frequently in the future.

After the meeting ended, King Becky gave Zhou Jing a few more words of encouragement before leaving with the guards.
