CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 32: CRISIS – THE TRUTH BEHIND MUSHROOM SOUP

Ah!

In the living room, Li Feng and Zou Anmeng screamed miserably, feeling like their brains were burning and they’d suffered a massive loss.

However, they quickly discovered that their Intelligent Brains had gained some kind of activity, seemingly craving energy.

What happened?

They exchanged glances and hurriedly searched online, finding widespread misery.

Throughout Rehe City and even nearby cities, most of the PC001 Amber Swallowtail Butterfly signals had become battlefields for the minds of big players.

The entire city was crackling nonstop, with all sorts of overloads and burnouts.

Tragic.

Truly tragic.

Yet, a big shot uttered a sentence:

"Perhaps it’s alive; the entire first-tier Amber Swallowtail Butterfly model is evolving, transforming into the first-tier Little Angels model."

Li Feng’s eyes widened.

The Little Angel Intelligent Brain model?

Has the brain structure of the Intelligent Brain mutated?

This particular big shot continued analyzing:

"Such a situation has never occurred before, it’s simply incredible, a whole new field."

"If you supplement it with a large amount of supplements, it might really change the Intelligent Brain model, this is a topic!"

"It’s a gift from the ancient Angel King."

...

The wind direction suddenly changed.

Almost instantly, countless people began to praise this ancient king, deserving of the title of the beauty-seeking angel.

Someone has already spoken out:

"His actions and heart are as clear as a bright mirror, everything he does is for justice."

"Wuwuwu, I cried watching this, truly worthy of an ancient monarch, he is the real hero, repeatedly betrayed, aged in his later years, half his life in regret, I felt his loneliness and greatness."

"So, for the idol in my heart, I want to buy his burning Intelligent Brain to compensate for everyone’s loss of their ignited brains."

In that moment, there were already middlemen starting to buy this Intelligent Brain model at high prices.

The market price of PC001 Amber Swallowtail Butterfly was 60,000, and now someone directly spent 80,000 to purchase!

Yet this still elicited criticism:

"I can hear your calculations over the network, as long as it’s a burnt Intelligent Brain, I’ll pay 100,000."

"I saw the unique determination and meticulousness in this senior’s eyes, I understand what he has to bear, and I feel his tragedy."

"I am also willing to offer my meager support, purchasing the brains ignited by him to compensate for everyone’s loss tonight!"

Some people, with more acute senses, have already started buying at 120,000, willing to risk everything for a big gamble.

In short, a bunch of speculators were frantically raising prices for acquisitions.

This scene left Zou Anmeng and Li Feng dumbstruck: Did we not only eat the melon but also profit?

Has Rehe City, with a piece of ancient Jurassic amber dug out from the strata, turned blue skies?

Has the Saint arrived? Are our days getting better?

Magical!

This world is too magical.

Tonight, no one will sleep.

...

Next morning.

The city’s trending topics were almost completely filled with last night’s Angel Incident.

And an even more explosive piece of news arrived:

After reading that book last night, countless people felt a loosening of their bottlenecks, some even broke through directly.

This was simply a miracle.

The reason was actually quite simple.

Those who broke through were mostly users of the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly.

First, their emotions reached that point.

The Amber Swallowtail Butterfly was a childhood memory for them.

Immersion is the key when reading a book.

In this book, witnessing the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly shatter the shadows of childhood, ascend to the top, defeat various dinosaurs, and pursue the beauty of transformation was breaking through the childhood demons in their hearts.

Secondly, high compatibility.

Poor people, using a first-tier cultivation butterfly Intelligent Brain, and a second-tier human Intelligent Brain... the brain structures were of different races, naturally creating awkwardness.

This was also an invisible threshold set by the grand families.

The good first-tier Saint Intelligent Brain models were kept for themselves, never shared lightly.

But now, cultivating the next phase of the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly series of Intelligent Brains made breakthroughs easier.

In conclusion.

The waves were huge, even causing national turbulence!

Countless people from other regions envied Rehe City in real names.

Yet this turmoil did not affect the daily lives of the three ordinary students.

Li Feng and Zou Anmeng still needed to attend classes.

Only that their topics at school might turn into gossip about a certain angel today.

"We’re off to class."

Seeing off the two guys who had unexpectedly struck it rich, Liu Jun watched them disappear into the rain under umbrellas, then returned to the living room.

"What exactly is going on here?"

Liu Jun felt his head spinning a bit.

Right now, he didn’t want to deal with all the other messy things; the most crucial question facing him was:

How exactly did Insect Thirteen manage to escape!

Was his Mushroom Soup controllable?

This was his most fundamental issue, a matter of life and death.

He re-examined the structure of the Mushroom Soup and only then discovered a transparent lid meant to lock the Mushroom Soup in place.

Previously, he hadn’t used it.

It wasn’t a big deal, considering that every time he left, the Mushroom Soup’s lid would automatically lock up.

A fully automatic locking pot, simple and convenient.

But last time, as he left, he did not manually lock it, and the auto-locking lid was a bit slow.

Adding to it the fact that Insect Thirteen’s [Star Rushing Lightning] speed was too fast, allowing the soul to drift away right before death.

And so it managed to escape outside.

All of this was due to various factors leading to a coincidence.

If it weren’t for this [Speed] series magical Mushroom, there wouldn’t have been any chance for a quick escape at that moment.

"Next time, remember to lock the lid tight to prevent the little pets at home from sneaking out through the door gap." Liu Jun learned his lesson.

The impact, however, was slightly bigger than expected.

He had only been using a book from the "Jurassic" era as the basis for era simulation.

But now that it escaped, wouldn’t it be hard to explain?

Last week’s, it truly turned Jurassic.

The most outrageous part was that he brought the "Divine Object" Mushroom, making those Rehe Heavy Industry experts envious, as it was a treasure they couldn’t resist.

But on the other hand, from a perspective of gains, it wasn’t without benefits.

Insect Thirteen’s character was upright and kind, straightforward and respectful to the Longevity Divine Spirits, a good person through and through.

Otherwise, Liu Jun wouldn’t have helped fulfill his last wish.

Now that he is outside, not only can he help probe the reality of this capitalistic scholarly world, but he can also test the high-level combat power of this world.

Who knows, if he manages to persist, develop and establish a secret faction here, he might become the first general of his Mushroom Legion to conquer this world.

Establishing a foothold for himself here.

After contemplating, Liu Jun felt it might be a blessing in disguise, "A small probe, a test of the waters here."

But afterward, the Mushroom Soup must be locked tight to prevent more Mushrooms from sneaking out of his "Mushroom Garden" and causing various jokes.
