Feng Yue instantly felt alarmed, and he guessed that Fang Yuxin must be very dissatisfied with the management within the settlement, so he tentatively asked, "What do you think would be a better way to manage this, Miss?"
Fang Yuxin looked at him with a half-smile, "Aren’t you the leader here? It naturally depends on what you think. You must also know that the zombies’ strength has been increasing, high-level zombies can control low-level zombies, forming a zombie group, attacking the survivor base. Do you think you and your people alone can keep this base safe?"
Feng Yue began to feel tense, Fang Yuxin’s words had hit the nail on the head. At the same time, he also regretted, he shouldn’t have asked such a reckless question.
Seeing his expression, Fang Yuxin continued, "You failed your advancement earlier, didn’t you? Want to know why?"
Feng Yue suddenly looked up, his eyes wide with shock as he said hoarsely, "Please enlighten me!" To show his respect for Fang Yuxin, he even used an honorific.
Fang Yuxin knew he was desperate to know the answer and didn’t beat around the bush, directly saying, "The Zombie Crystal Core contains many impurities and negative energy. When a superpower user absorbs it, they inevitably also absorb these impurities and negative energies into their body. If accumulated, they naturally form an obstacle. If you want to successfully advance, the most important thing is to keep your original intention, not to be confused by those negative energies. Of course, if you have the ability to remove the impurities in the crystal core, it would be much more effective."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yue introspectively reflected on his recent performance, and the more he thought, the colder his heart felt.
He had actually done so many things wrong! No wonder his advancement failed!
Fang Yuxin observed his reaction and seeing his genuine remorse, she chose not to speak further. What she said was not a lie; keeping one’s original intention was meant to prevent the invasion of the Heart Demon. Although cultivating superpower is not comparable to cultivation, because of absorbing Zombie Crystal Cores, it is very easy to give rise to Heart Demons.
These Heart Demons make a person become increasingly fierce, bloodthirsty, and impulsive, and they also make it more difficult for the body to connect with the heavens and the earth. Initially, superpowers are just about absorbing Crystal Cores, refining the energy within them, accumulating it in the body, and then using it through skills. But if the body cannot communicate with the heavens and the earth, then a superpower user’s strength will not be able to improve.
Feng Yue’s talent was actually quite good, and he had absorbed many Elemental Crystals, which made him much better than many others. It’s just a pity he encountered a group of eccentrics; after the Fang Family members cultivate, they can learn spells, but other superpower users have to slowly explore and comprehend skills, which is much more difficult.
Feng Yue had already achieved quite a lot. Additionally, as the leader of this survivor base and still having a somewhat good heart, he was still redeemable, which was why Fang Yuxin had spoken such words to him as guidance.
Feng Yue also picked up on the hints from Fang Yuxin, and after reminiscing, he seriously and sincerely said to Fang Yuxin, "Thank you for your guidance, Feng Yue is immensely grateful!"
Fang Yuxin did not speak again, but Bai Ye asked, "Were you once a soldier?"
Feng Yue’s expression changed, he did not expect Bai Ye to see that! After hesitating a bit, he honestly said, "You have a keen eye, I indeed was a soldier, and I had just retired not long ago. I originally planned to start a business with a friend, but who knew it would turn out ."
With that, he sighed incessantly.
Bai Ye then continued, "Since that is the case, why don’t you gather the survivors in the base and properly train them. Additionally... that stone you have, the crystals inside can awaken some people’s superpowers, you should make good use of it, don’t waste it."
Upon hearing Bai Ye mention the Elemental Stone, Feng Yue’s heart tensed, and his eyes inadvertently showed a hint of wariness and caution, fearing that Bai Ye was eyeing those stones. However, after hearing Bai Ye’s words, he felt very embarrassed.
He had valued the Elemental Stone and Elemental Crystals too highly, so upon hearing about them, he would subconsciously be on guard, not realizing in the end that he was judging others by his own flawed standards!
He glanced at Bai Ye guiltily, opened his mouth wanting to say something, but the words of apology just could not come out. So he decisively said, "Rest assured, now that I know their uses, I will definitely not let them continue to gather dust as treasures!"
He still had quite a few Elemental Stones and Elemental Crystals. Since they could awaken superpowers in people, he would naturally make good use of them, selecting some promising individuals from his subordinates for training.
Feng Yue had realized that, although it seemed he had quite a number of people under him, due to his indulgence, they were all just a mob, barely capable of dealing with ordinary zombies, but when facing zombie groups or high-level zombies, this mob was simply no match.
He didn’t know when he would be able to advance, so he must make the most of the time before the new zombie group attacked to train his people as much as possible.
Thinking this, Feng Yue suddenly felt more relaxed, then he invited, "It’s almost past noon, you haven’t had lunch yet, have you? Why don’t you come with me to the village, I will ensure you are well entertained!"
This time, both Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye did not refuse his invitation. They believed that after Feng Yue had witnessed their strength, he definitely would not dare to pull any tricks!
Of course, if he really wanted to court death, they were not afraid either. (To be continued. If you work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com) with your recommendation vote and monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
