Chapter 232: Chapter 170: Semi-finished Products, A Small Episode

Ren Yuanyang naturally understood. He nodded slightly and continued, "What a coincidence. We picked a random trading spot and still ran into a speedboat from a foreign power!"

"Yeah! Thank goodness Haonan contacted Captain Wang Jun right away. Otherwise, they might have stolen all those potions!" Hua Lingfang said, feeling rather fortunate.

With the rain coming down so hard, it was impossible to make out the speedboat’s features. If Qin Haonan hadn’t contacted Wang Jun to confirm, that speedboat would have definitely made off with the goods. ℯℯ𝘭.

To be precise, Qin Haonan hadn’t contacted Wang Jun to confirm anything. He was just remarking on how fast the Aircraft Carrier Base’s speedboat was.

It was a happy accident, you could say.

Qin Haonan learned his lesson from this incident. From now on, whenever he spotted a boat, he would confirm its identity with the party he was supposed to be trading with. After all, who knew if it was friend or foe?

Meanwhile, Wang Jun gave his own trading team from the Aircraft Carrier Base a similar order: "Stay safe, and get back here as soon as you can!"

As for the unknown foreign power, there was no easy way to deal with them at the moment, so they had to be put on the back burner.

After a journey of more than eight hours, the trading team from the Aircraft Carrier Base returned to base.

The three captains were all present once again to welcome the trading team’s return.

"Captain, here are the three Evolution Potions. The rest of the potions are in these metal canisters," the team leader said, handing the three Evolution Potions to Wang Jun.

Wang Jun nodded, took them, and ordered, "Take all the potions to the lab. Have them start compounding the Evolution Potions immediately!"

"Yes!"

Wang Jun held up the three vials, which were supposedly a higher-level Evolution Potion. He turned to Ji Yizhi and the other man and said, "These are a gift from Peach Blossom Base for the three of us. Each of you take one. How you use it is up to you."

Long Zhan took one, immediately tore open the packaging, and jabbed the Evolution Potion straight into his upper arm.

He was just as decisive as Qin Haonan.

Both Wang Jun and Ji Yizhi were stunned.

"You’re being reckless! You should at least disinfect the area before injecting it!" Ji Yizhi said, exasperated.

"Don’t need to. I’m in great shape!" Long Zhan said with a chuckle.

Wang Jun frowned. "I’ll have the lab send over some equipment to monitor your condition."

"No problem!" Long Zhan agreed. "And don’t forget to let me know when the lab finishes compounding the new batch of Evolution Potions!"

Wang Jun rolled his eyes. "Of course I’ll let you know. Why are you in such a rush?"

"It’s not me. It’s the young pups under my command who are getting impatient!" Long Zhan replied with a grin.

Wang Jun was speechless. ’Like general, like soldier,’ he thought.

Ji Yizhi looked Long Zhan up and down. "Are you feeling any adverse effects?"

Long Zhan thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded.

Wang Jun immediately grew tense. "What’s wrong?"

"I feel a slight prick on my arm, as if from a needle!" Long Zhan replied with a perfectly straight face, before bursting into laughter.

Wang Jun and Ji Yizhi stared blankly for a second, then both rolled their eyes in unison.

"It seems there are no adverse effects, then," Ji Yizhi said in a low voice. "I’m going to inject mine as well. You should wait a bit longer, Wang Jun."

Wang Jun frowned slightly. "Why are you getting so impatient too? Long Zhan already took his. We should wait for the results before doing anything else!"

Ji Yizhi shook his head. "He can only represent how a naturally-developed Evolver reacts to the potion. We still don’t know how someone who isn’t a natural will react to this higher-level Evolution Potion. So, let me be the test subject."

Just then, the head of the laboratory, Zhao Jun, came running over. "Stop! None of you are to use the Evolution Potions from Peach Blossom Base!"
