Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 368: Aggregation

Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Aggregation

Lu Xiao could actually understand the changes that Edson went through after becoming the Acting Alliance Leader.

The sense of satisfaction and achievement that power brings is always beyond imagination.

To maintain and preserve that feeling, a person’s moral boundaries can continuously be lowered.

This is also why many people work diligently and honestly in lower positions, but once they reach higher positions, they become addicted and negligent in their duties.

"I didn’t expect the position of an Acting Alliance Leader to completely ruin Edson," Lu Xiao said as he put down his phone and shook his head.

Originally, he had considered Edson a formidable enemy.

After all, during the exchange competition, Edson had shown both strength and cunning that made him wary.

But since Edson became the Acting Alliance Leader of the Superpower Alliance that morning, the rapid changes were astonishing.

To save his own life, he freely gave away five Mutated Crystals; now, to secure his position as Alliance Leader, he had given out ten kilograms of Super Gold.

Anyone who didn’t know better would think Edson was his son, constantly bringing him valuable gifts as if to honor his own father.

"So, Lu Xiao, are we going to kill Mackenny?" Chen Fei couldn’t help but ask.

"Nope," Lu Xiao spread his hands with a face that said it had nothing to do with him.

"Just kidding. I, Lu Xiao, am part of the Seventeenth Bureau, the deputy head of the Azure Dragon Group, charged with the mission of peace and development. How could I possibly engage in fighting and killing."

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, several people in the living room just wanted to throttle him.

Could you be any more full of crap?

At the beginning, it was you who said we should fight and overturn tables, and now it’s also you preaching love and peace.

All you got is a mouth on your face, saying whatever you want, right?

"Besides, with the Divine Light Plan being so powerful, we couldn’t beat them anyway, right!" Lu Xiao added.

Sister Gun immediately lost her composure.

"Lu Xiao, I knew it! I just knew you were still obsessed with this! Is it so hard to just live and be a normal person?!" Sister Gun was almost screaming. The Divine Light Plan was truly not to be trifled with.

"Alright, alright, I’ll definitely listen to you," Lu Xiao still kept nodding in agreement.

Sister Gun stared at Lu Xiao for a few seconds, then spread her hands and flopped down on the couch.

Forget it, Lu Xiao is insane. He just wants to clash with the Divine Light Plan, and he simply can’t be persuaded.

"I’m tired. Whatever. Let it all be destroyed," Sister Gun muttered to herself.

Lu Xiao didn’t pay any attention to this poor girl, not knowing what huge trauma she had suffered in the past at the Superpower Alliance, making her overly fearful of it.

What’s up with the Divine Light Plan? Aren’t they just a bunch of Fourth Rankers?

If they’re all Fourth Rank, then why be scared?

With my girlfriend here, what’s there to fear?

Besides, once I gather enough Mutated Crystals in seven days to break into Fourth Rank, it will definitely be at a Super Tier level.

...

At five o’clock in the afternoon, Lu Xiao received the ten kilograms of Super Gold that Edson had sent over.

"This thing, it looks a bit ugly, huh?" Lu Xiao frowned as he opened the box. It was a big, black lump. If you hadn’t told me this was Super Gold, I could have mistaken it for a large animal’s dung.

"Let me try." Chen Fei was also curious and immediately used her superpower to manipulate it.

The next moment, the originally pitch-black lumpy object directly turned into... a puddle-like substance.

Just like hard poop turning into soft poop.

Lu Xiao was swallowing his saliva in awe.

"Fei, is there anything impressive about it?" Lu Xiao asked, hoping that the characteristics of this thing weren’t as lackluster as its appearance.

"It’s a magical metallic structure, very interesting."

After muttering to herself, Chen Fei flicked her fingers swiftly.

What was initially a puddle-like substance suddenly stood upright and then began to flow and transform.

Seconds later, a forty-centimeter-tall "Lu Xiao" appeared before everyone.

Lu Xiao was so stunned, he wondered... what is this!

But the next second, a thought flashed through Lu Xiao’s mind.

"Mimicry?!" Lu Xiao looked at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei’s lips curled up: "It’s a similar marvel, perhaps we can use this to deal with the thing below."

Lu Xiao took a deep breath, if they could handle that thing in the basement, the Mutated Crystal would be directly enough; they wouldn’t even need to wait seven days.

Moreover, it was questionable whether Edson could provide a Mutated Crystal after seven days.

"Great!" Lu Xiao’s eyes brimmed with excitement.

"What are you talking about? The thing below? What’s below?" Sister Gun looked between Lu Xiao and Chen Fei.

"Don’t ask, don’t inquire, it’s too big for you to handle," Lu Xiao waved his hand.

Sister Gun rolled her eyes, "You think if you don’t tell me, I won’t know? The superpower index is off the charts in this villa, can’t I, a Third-tier, sense it? There’s definitely something in the basement constantly releasing superpower."

"The energy is very pure, it can be directly absorbed, so it’s definitely not a live Mutant, it’s not a Mutant then it must be Mutated Crystals."

"If it’s Mutated Crystals, given the intensity of this energy, there must be at least five crystals releasing it simultaneously."

"Looking at you guys, it seems like you temporarily can’t get those Mutated Crystals..."

"Tsk, aggregated, right?"

Lu Xiao was a bit annoyed, Sister Gun’s knowledge of Mutations... was truly enviable.

The things we didn’t even understand yet, she guessed just by casually speculating.

"Sister Gun, what does ’aggregated’ mean?" Chen Fei asked.

If it had been Lu Xiao who asked, Sister Gun probably would’ve played coy for a bit, but facing Chen Fei’s question, Sister Gun didn’t put on any airs.

"Sister Fei, aggregation means that several Mutated Crystals have fused together in a special way."

"Generally, aggregation is man-made."

"For instance, some powerful Fourth Rank, before they are close to death, would extract the Mutated Crystals from their bodies and then aggregate them."

"After aggregation, these Mutated Crystals produce a cumulative effect, not only releasing superpower but also drawing from nature to form a cycle."

"Possibly, these Mutated Crystals won’t dry up for decades, even hundreds of years."

"Not only that, the energy of several aggregated Mutated Crystals will also converge, it’s extremely difficult for external forces to destroy them, and they might even kill those who approach."

"Sister Fei, is there really such a thing hidden in the basement?" Sister Gun fired off a series of remarks, pretty much saying all she knew.

Chen Fei responded affirmatively with a hum, then her lips curled up: "Previously we indeed had no way out, but now we should be able to manage, this Super Gold is very useful."

"Sister Fei, let’s go, let me see too." Sister Gun pulled Chen Fei towards the basement.

Lu Xiao, Truth, and Pharmacist immediately followed them.
