Chapter 10 The Role of Red Crystal Cores

"No, no, no, I was just passing by, just passing by."

"Holy crap, she's serious. No wonder that guy named Yang Miao encouraged us to come; he himself is nowhere to be seen."

"That son of a bitch told me that Shenghong had few people and was easy prey. You're telling me this is easy prey?"

"Wait, what are they doing? They dragged four giant wolves off the Hummer?! Heavens, can your pushover really kill four giant wolves?"

"Yang Miao, you son of a bitch, you just wait! Luckily I reacted quickly; if I had taken another step forward, I'd be a bloody mess by now."

The sliding gate closed very slowly, but no one dared to rush in, with the lessons of the past right before their eyes.

They originally intended to take advantage of the chaos and plunder, but seeing how ruthless Sheng Hong's people were, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Wang Ce was initially a bit dazed. After all, he had killed two people and was sitting in the passenger seat, giving him a first-person perspective, so it was impossible for him to be completely unmoved.

However, when he saw a golden tag for "meat sausage" suddenly appear in the pocket of one of the onlookers, he still couldn't quite hold back.

"It's okay, I would have done the same if I were in your shoes."

Wang Ce patted Zhang Luoyan on the shoulder and noticed that her hand holding the car door was trembling.

"call!"

Zhang Luoyan took a deep breath, quickly composed herself, and said calmly, "Let's dissect the giant wolf's carcass first and study it."

Zhang Luoyan wasn't involved in dissecting the giant wolf; she wasn't very strong and couldn't offer much help.

Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng had never done this kind of work before. After struggling for a long time, they finally got help from Master Xu, who came from the countryside, to get the process sorted out.

With water scarce, the entire process is extremely bloody. First, the wolf is hung upside down by its hind legs to bleed, and then a cross is cut on the inside of its hind legs to peel off the wolf skin.

They then cut along the midline of the abdomen and removed the heart, liver, and lungs.

"Keep this casing; it can be used to make sausages, and it will keep longer if you smoke them."

Master Xu explained as he processed the procedure.

That's why they say having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. After all, they've gotten older, experienced more, and know more.

Of course, the two that were just hit by the Hummer don't count as treasures.

"This meat is really firm. I've slaughtered cows, pigs, and even donkeys, but none of them are as firm as this wolf meat."

Master Xu took the lead, with Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng assisting. Zhang Luoyan sat to the side watching, her beautiful eyes fixed on Wang Ce.

"Zhang Luoyan, why are you staring at me like that? Are you afraid I'll do something underhanded? It's one thing to be wary of backstabbers, but are you even being wary of gentlemen?"

Wang Ce was indeed touching and searching everywhere, trying to see if he could trigger any golden attributes.

As a result, Zhang Luoyan kept staring at him, making him feel like a thief.

"Brother Ce, you're too narcissistic. He's eyeing the giant wolf meat."

Huang Feipeng removed the wolf's head and casually tossed it aside.

"Exactly, exactly. And you're only allowed to stare at me while I was driving, but I'm not allowed to stare back?"

Zhang Luoyan rested her chin on her hand, a smile playing on her lips, and Wang Ce mimicked her earlier tone, saying:

"Why are you staring at me? Am I that good-looking?"

Zhang Luoyan nodded, then raised her chin, a little smugly, and said, "Ugly monster."

Wang Ce fell silent, flipped the wolf head that Huang Feipeng had tossed aside, and then rummaged through a viscous mixture.

This feeling reminded him of the two middle-aged women who had been violently assaulted at the door earlier.

Add to that the fishy, ​​pungent smell, and even he, a grown man, felt like vomiting.

Here, have some chewing gum.

A slender, delicate hand rested on Wang Ce's chin. Wang Ce felt his lips touch something and subconsciously glanced at it.

Only after confirming it was chewing gum did he open his mouth.

He's now wary of chewing gum and has to check it before he dares to eat it.

"Manager Zhang, I want some chewing gum too!"

Huang Feipeng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. His good brother was being treated like this, so it wasn't unreasonable for him to ask for some food.

He was large and got hungry quickly; even eating three meals a day wasn't enough to satisfy him.

"You're eating farts."

Zhang Luoyan's smiling face returned to normal when she looked at Huang Feipeng.

Huang Feipeng, standing to the side, was slightly taken aback. What was going on? Was there some kind of discrimination?

Wang Ce also laughed. He saw that Zhang Luoyan had just bumped into someone. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was still greatly shocked inside.

That's why I used a joking tone to ease his emotional state.

However, he hadn't expected Zhang Luoyan to feed him chewing gum.

He had never been in a relationship before and couldn't figure out if it was friendship between comrades-in-arms or if Zhang Luoyan had feelings for him.

"Hmm? There's something here!"

"Pfft!"

After Wang Ce took his hand out, his entire fist was covered in a viscous liquid. When he opened his palm, a pale red, transparent crystal core came into view.

Their eyes lit up simultaneously. Clearly, this pale red, transparent crystal core was very likely related to the giant wolf's terrifying power that transcended its physiological structure.

"The other three giant wolves are also there."

Wang Ce took out all the crystal cores, his doubts growing even stronger.

That's strange, why isn't the gold attribute reacting?

Logically speaking, even a crystal core of this quality should be a treasure. Could it be that my identification ability is only good for identifying trash? Or is my ability insufficient to identify it?

After figuring out the core of the giant wolf's immense strength, Wang Ce and his two companions went to a small office to study the function of the transparent crystal core.

The crystal core has an olive-shaped outline and a surface with wrinkles similar to a walnut shell, and it is transparent.

I don't know if it's because it's soaked in blood, but the color is reddish.

"Brother Ce, is this the demon core from the novel? It does look rather alluring."

Huang Feipeng stared at the screen, studying it repeatedly, almost as if he wanted to eat it whole.

"This is my first time traveling through time, how would I know what this is? Maybe it's just a kidney stone."

Wang Ce secretly focused his mind to see if he could absorb the energy, but it turned out to be useless.

Fortunately, concentrating his mind was just a mental activity; otherwise, Zhang Luoyan would have laughed herself to death at his childish behavior.

"This crystal nucleus is getting smaller!"

Zhang Luoyan, who had been holding the crystal core in her hand, suddenly brightened up. Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng were also observing the changes in Zhang Luoyan.

"It's shrinking very slowly. I've been holding it for fifteen minutes and it's only shrunk by one size. I estimate it will take two hours for it to be fully absorbed."

"I'll test the poison first. If I'm okay with it, then the two of you can take it. Three people can't face the risk at the same time."

Zhang Luoyan remained calm. Huang Feipeng and Wang Ce placed the crystal core back on the office table and waited for Zhang Luoyan's reaction.

There is a security risk here: if Zhang Luoyan really gains superpowers, will she kill herself and Huang Feipeng and keep the crystal core for herself?

Given her ruthless and decisive style, it's hard to say what will happen. However, Zhang Luoyan shouldn't be the kind of person who is short-sighted. The giant wolf isn't that difficult to kill, so she probably won't turn against him because of it.

At worst, Huang Feipeng and I can each take one, and Zhang Luoyan can absorb two.

With its own discernment, as long as it can go to the primeval forest outside, why worry about not having the opportunity to grow quickly?

Time passed by, and Wang Ce and Huang Feipeng sat quietly in the office. During this time, people from Daqiang Electronics Technology and Jingmao Luggage came to deliver supplies.

As agreed, Wang Ce divided the dissected wolf meat into two portions and gave one family six aluminum-tube spears.

He could sense that Luo Ji of Jingmao Luggage seemed to have something to say, and they probably also discovered that there was a blood-red crystal core inside the giant wolf's head.

After a moment's hesitation, Luo Ji reminded Wang Ce before leaving to feel inside the giant wolf's head.

This is considered doing a favor, because Wang Ce would touch it even without him saying so.

However, Wang Ce did not tell him that he could absorb the crystal core just by holding it in his hand. Even if he wanted to tell him, he would wait until he had eaten his fill.

"Wang Ce, I feel like something's wrong. Help me to my office to rest. Just help me, and don't let anyone else get close to me."

Zhang Luoyan's voice was weak. Wang Ce carried Zhang Luoyan up the corridor to his office on the fifth floor.

Her body temperature was slightly elevated, and her expression showed some pain. Even with such a beautiful woman in his arms, Wang Ce did not have any impure thoughts, because Zhang Luoyan's physical condition was indeed somewhat abnormal.

There's only one emergency medicine station at the property management office, so if something happens, you might have to run there.

Wang Ce carried the other three blood-red crystal cores in a pen holder. Zhang Luoyan's fate was unknown, and the function of these crystal cores was still uncertain, so it was best to be cautious.

"Fatty, take the food down and distribute it to the workers. I'll trouble you to arrange the sentry duty tonight."

"We must be extremely cautious. Those people during the day were instigated by Yang Miao. We must guard against him making any more moves."

"Moreover, we killed four giant wolves, firstly to prevent their retaliation, and secondly to prevent the scent of blood from attracting any more powerful predators."

"Use the cleaning agent from the machine oil cleaner downstairs to clean up the bloodstains from today's slaughter. Don't worry about wasting water; lives are more important."

Seeing Wang Ce muttering to himself, seemingly about to continue, Huang Feipeng patted his chest and said:

"Brother Ce, why are you talking to me like I'm a child? Don't you trust me, Huang Feipeng, to handle things? No problem!"

Wang Ce's lips twitched. "That's why I said so much, it's because I don't trust you."

If you were even half as smart as Zhang Luoyan, would I be saying all this?

"If Zhang Luoyan really succeeds, you'll be the second one to be recruited. Tell the workers that they must be on their best tonight."

"If you encounter an unforeseen event, don't just stand there. Run if you need to. Your safety is the most important thing."

Huang Feipeng showed no reaction to the second absorption, believing that Wang Ce would never betray him.

Suddenly, Huang Feipeng's eyes widened, and he pointed behind Wang Ce, saying:

"Brother Ce, don't worry about me. You should worry about yourself. You're probably going to need that chewing gum in your pocket."

Wang Ce turned around and stared wide-eyed.

"Bang!"

Huang Feipeng closed the door to the factory director's office, and Wang Ce inside could still hear Huang Feipeng's strange laughter echoing down the corridor.
