Chapter 274: Desperate Potion
There was silence in the council hall. Vimala's sudden words made everyone confused. They looked at each other and no one agreed for a while.
They were somewhat confused about where things were going, and the wisest thing to do was to remain silent.
The most central position in the council hall is Tigor's throne, which has been vacant for a long time.
The illusory blue light swirled around, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it, and Tigor's projection gradually emerged.
Everyone stood up together, folded their hands over their chests, and performed the ancient ritual of Returning to the Stars to show respect to Tigor.
"His Majesty!"
Tigor nodded slightly, "Sit down."
Before Ethel even touched the seat, he heard someone say, "Your Majesty... This matter is really too bad."
"This is a disrespect for you! A disregard for Guixing!"
"I suspect that General Aysel and Prince Connor have teamed up to steal the benefits of Guixing!"
Damn! Who is so brave? Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Although everyone was jealous... no, they hated this behavior of stealing the benefits of Guixing.
But these two are big guys after all, and scolding them like this is simply courting death.
He was a guy at the end of the parliamentary seat, who seemed to be the governor of some administrative planet. I don't know who was using him as a pawn, but he jumped out to cause trouble.
Ethel and Connor didn't even blink, appearing very calm. It was just a few scoldings, it was not like they had not been scolded before.
"The loyalty of Prince Connor and General Ethel is beyond doubt." Tigor's words set the tone and were beyond everyone's expectations.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Does His Majesty Tigor intend to pursue the matter?
Vimala's face darkened slightly, and she said, "I'm afraid Max and Edwin were bewitched by someone, so they did this."
Klein looked up. There were only three people who submitted the vaccine. Besides Max and Edwin, there was Li Yu. It was self-evident who the "certain people" from Vemma were.
Vimala was determined to remove herself from this matter, and the best way was to put the blame on Li Yu.
Klein could clearly feel many eyes wandering over him, and Vimala's behavior confused them.
Is this a mother-daughter breakup?
Tigor looked at Vimala, and the couple's eyes briefly met in the air.
Ethel and Connor looked at each other. It seemed possible to remove Li Yu from the matter and even put the blame on him...
Now that he has handed over the vaccine, the value is greatly discounted, and Vimala's resistance is very strong.
And if Li Yu could share the blame, the only problem would be that Klein might bear a grudge against him...
But... Vimala and Klein seem to have some conflicts. Is Klein without Vimala... worth their fear?
Aysel thought for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Tigor say, "Baron Li Yu is a man loyal to Guixing, I can see that."
Axel's pupils contracted, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. What happened? Why did Tigor's attitude change?
Ethel informed Tigor in advance. He knew that Tigor would not deny this matter, but Tigor definitely did not have a good attitude towards Li Yu.
But Tigor's words also set the tone. I am very optimistic about Li Yu, so don't make a fuss about him.
Vimala was also surprised, her brows were furrowed and her eyes were flickering. Prince Connor remained silent, and the others stopped talking too.
Now even a fool can see that it is a fight between a few big guys and they have no right to speak.
Titus, who had been silent all the time, suddenly thought of Janes' report. Tigor seemed to be very optimistic about Li Yu and wanted to protect him for the second time.
This made him feel a little strange, and at the same time, he became even more curious about Li Yu.
Tigor's words meant that the matter had to proceed according to the normal procedure and all voices had to be suppressed.
Li Yu couldn't move, Max couldn't move, and Edwin couldn't move. They couldn't ask Tigor to take back the reward he had offered in the morning.
Many senior officials then realized that the matter seemed to have been settled, and there was an inexplicable feeling that Tigor even knew about it.
"Overall, this is a good thing. We have a solution to the Xinhe virus, and we can give an explanation to the citizens in our country."
Titus spoke, attracting everyone's attention. "Besides, this is probably not Baron Li Yu's original intention. After all, everyone in the institute should know how difficult this matter is."
"There must be someone behind him. Maybe he just doesn't want to show up in public. This is a bounty for all laboratories, so this is normal."
Titus reluctantly gave everyone an explanation. It was indeed true. Everyone could see how difficult it was to research the Xinhe virus.
It is impossible for Li Yu to come up with a solution alone. There must be a powerful laboratory behind him.
Titus added considerately: "We can eliminate the Xinhe virus first, and the specific information can be announced later to avoid causing public opinion fluctuations."
"Hmm..." Tigor nodded with satisfaction: "Let's do it this way. Once the Xinhe virus issue is resolved, there is no need to continue arguing with the Xingyao Empire."
"Regarding the Borderlands...what do you think?"
Tigor went straight to the next topic, and everyone sat up straight. This was the main event, and the previous ones were just a war of words.
Being ignored, Vimala had no expression on her face, and Klein behind her lowered his head.
…
"I hope nothing unexpected happens. Did we come too hastily? We should have waited a little longer..." Max paced back and forth in the laboratory lounge anxiously.
"Aren't you nervous?" Max looked at Li Yu calmly.
"Is being nervous useful?" Li Yu asked, then shook his head: "Do less useless things."
Max couldn't help but look at Edwin again, and he also had a paralyzed face, which made the corners of his mouth twitch, and he sat in the corner sighing.
Time passed by minute by minute. About six hours later, Li Yu's pupils suddenly began to dilate...
"...His Majesty Tigor thinks so highly of Li Yu?" Horus covered his face with a puzzled look. In front of him was the angry Vimala.
"Tigor must be trying to use this as a handle against me and set it off at any time..." Vimala said coldly, and then gnashed her teeth:
"What on earth was Klein trying to do? This was supposed to be a great achievement, but in the end, it all went to outsiders."
"I've been thinking about her all the time!"
Horus remained silent. He couldn't comment on this.
Vimala calmed down her anger a little, took a deep breath, looked at Horus and said, "Have you found out what happened to you? Who is targeting you?"
"Well..." Horus was rarely embarrassed: "I haven't found out yet. There is no connection between those people."
Vimala felt even more anxious: "No connection? Why would they attack you for no reason if there is no connection?"
She hated the feeling of being out of control, and recently this kind of thing had been happening one after another. When did it start...
Did Li Yu survive the Ordos incident? Or did he discover Klein's special feelings for Li Yu?
Why is this guy everywhere?!
"I will continue to investigate..." Seeing Vimala's expression getting uglier and uglier, Horus asked, "Is Tigor going to start a war?"
Vimala's expression flickered slightly, and she calmed down and said, "Tigor's attitude is unexpectedly strong. He wants to intervene in the No Man's Land and curb the disorderly expansion of the Star Empire."
"The Xinhe virus restricted him before, but now the last barrier has been opened."
"Even with the public outrage caused by the Xinhe virus, if Guixing really wants to go to war, the anti-war sentiment in the country will not be very good."
Horus was a little surprised: "Can his body still hold up?"
"I'm afraid it's because they can't hold on any longer that they have to pave the way for their successors at the last moment, to let everyone know that Guixing is not afraid of war!" Vimala could roughly guess what Tigor was thinking.
During the time he disappeared, due to Vimala's rule, people in the interstellar space were not optimistic about returning to the star.
We have lost our voice in many areas, and the easiest way to get these things back is war!
Vimala looked at Horus and said, "And I recommend you as the person in charge of the Borderlands."
Horus' eyes widened slightly, enough to prove his surprise, "Me?"
Vimala explained: "That's right... Now we have entered the discussion process. Tigor is in a hurry... He needs someone who can calm the situation. This is the best opportunity."
“…”
Li Yu's eyes gradually focused and he frowned slightly. In the conversation between Horus and Vimala, many things did not surprise him, but there were also some things that surprised him.
Tigor actually wants to interfere in the No Man's Land. There is a high probability that he will have a local head-on confrontation with the Star Empire, and it seems that he will have to re-activate Horus.
"Fight... fight well, it would be better to knock down the genius..." Li Yu was happy to watch the fun, the interstellar situation was changing rapidly, no one could predict how things would turn out.
After waiting for a whole day, the three people finally received the news that the vaccine they submitted was adopted, but for some reason it could not be announced to the public for the time being.
However, rewards other than the awarding of honors can be withdrawn in advance, because the awarding ceremony needs to be held in the entire Return to Star.
As for what that “certain” reason was, the three of them naturally knew it clearly.
As for the rewards, the three of them had already discussed it in advance. All rewards except for the medals would belong to Li Yu.
"The management authority of the CT-4 large laboratory will be handed over as soon as possible. This laboratory is located on the DW-25 satellite." The staff member in charge of the handover introduced expressionlessly:
"You have the right to use it for ten years. During this period, you are not allowed to intentionally cause any damage or resell the equipment, otherwise we will pursue you to the end."
“…”
There were many things to pay attention to, but Li Yu didn't pay too much attention to them. He just felt a little relieved that the matter was finally settled.
The laboratory was finally obtained, and the rest of the rewards were just extras.
The reward of 100 billion star coins is not too generous for a Class A life form. The price of the Class A gene development drug alone is as high as hundreds of millions.
Because A-level gene development drugs need to be customized, the genetic links within each A-level life form are complex and unique.
The development progress of level A is even more difficult, and every step forward consumes a huge amount of resources.
"Let's get away from this vortex as soon as possible. Titus... Vimala... Tigor... You can fight all you want, but I'm going to retreat first."
Through the conversation between Horus and Vimala, Li Yu roughly understood the situation of the meeting at that time. The situation was too complicated and everyone had their own little thoughts. He did not want to waste time in such a political struggle.
It just so happened that Tigor asked him to go to the Hengfeng galaxy to deal with the evil god's mischief, which could be considered as completing a level A mission.
He can also study the divine system to see if he can become an A-level spiritual practitioner as soon as possible.
But before that, he still needed to take away the remaining Meteor Fleet. Tigor assigned the entire Meteor Fleet to him, probably because he knew that no one else could command this fleet.
Having suffered a setback last time, Janes didn't want to see him at all and directly asked his subordinates to complete the handover procedures.
He had no experience in commanding large fleets, but he had many talented people under him, and the Salted Fish Hunter was the best tool to save him from committing chronic suicide all day long.
The hunter was eager to try this, after all, he was not someone who was willing to be a lazy guy.
“Tsk tsk… I never thought that one day I would be able to command an advanced fleet.” The hunter’s cloudy eyes gleamed.
Although Meteorite has lost its main ship and only has less than fifty frigates left, it is still an absolutely advanced fleet with strong strength and is very formidable.
Li Yu also brought his special ability team with him in case of emergency.
…
Two days later, Max bid farewell to Li Yu "reluctantly". At the military berthing port, a large number of warships took off, opened their protective shields, and headed towards the star gate not far away.
Hengfeng Galaxy is not considered a frontier galaxy. It is located in the opposite direction of Ordos. It takes about six days to jump there using a star gate.
…
During the voyage...
"What kind of weird thing is that? It can't be a virus."
In the command ship, the hunter looked vigilantly at the red-gold reagent in Li Yu's hand, which looked like the color of burning flames.
"Good stuff..." Li Yu weighed it casually and felt it was quite warm.
[Obtain special item - Desperate Potion (B): A human body strengthening potion. After taking it, you can gain the ability to control fire and the ability to quickly consume physical energy to heal yourself.
Note: Extremely unstable! 】
This was the reward obtained by the second clone. Li Yu remembered that this thing came from a doctor named Killian, who seemed to be the enemy of Iron Man.
Their mission is to help the doctor complete the research on the [Desperate Potion].
The second clone also obtained this reward.
He opened his mouth and swallowed the [Desperate Potion] in one gulp. A burning shudder erupted from his mouth and swept through his body in an instant, as if even his soul was burning.
Li Yu's perception of his body has already reached the microscopic level. Under the flushing of this high-purity medicine, his cells slowly become stronger, and his own gene chain changes again.
The fact that this thing can make his current body produce such a feeling is enough to prove how dangerous it is, but it does not pose any threat to him at the moment.
