Pretending to be a genius starts with the civilization advancement assessment.

Chapter 162 Star Origin Evolution Fluid

Lin Yi was surprised that Li Zhenguo's judgment was quite accurate.

Indeed, unless he uses all his trump cards, he is currently unable to deal with the leader-level abyssal beast of the giant nest.

Because the difference in energy sources is simply too great.

However, Li Zhenguo was wrong about one thing.

Lin Yi recalled his past life and the fragmented governance of Xia Kingdom after Li Zhenguo's death. He smiled and said, "Who said you could replace him? You're too modest."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenguo looked at Lin Yi, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes, "Comrade Lin Yi, do you know? In the period immediately after the Abyss Beasts descended, after our battles, the General Staff judged that we had almost no hope of winning."

"But then, you appeared. You came out of nowhere. Just like..." Li Zhenguo seemed lost in memories, then he came back to his senses, his voice suddenly becoming unusually firm, "and we had hope again. This is not only because of your strength, but also because of the possibility you brought."

Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Hope needs to be created by someone."

Then, he deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Please drink up, I'm in a hurry to get back to class."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenguo laughed heartily, took the medicine floating in the air, and drank it all in one gulp.

Almost the instant the medicine entered his throat, Li Zhenguo began to emit a soft blue light.

Li Zhenguo only felt this power gently transforming his body, without any pain, only a warm feeling flowing through his limbs and bones.

His complexion visibly regained its rosy hue, his previously dry skin regained its luster, his gray hair quickly turned black, and the wrinkles on his face gradually disappeared.

More importantly, he could clearly feel the surging source energy within his body.

A few minutes later, the blue light gradually dissipated.

Zhou Donglai, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded and said excitedly, "Commander, you...you've fully recovered! And you look even younger than before!"

Li Zhenguo jumped up from the bed.

He stretched his limbs, an incredulous look on his face: "This is the power of the Stardust level?"

He felt the surging source energy within his body, and his originally aged face had become like that of a middle-aged man in his forties, radiating vitality.

“That’s right, this is Stardust level.” Lin Yi nodded in confirmation.

"The [Star Origin Initial Evolution Fluid] directly transformed your body into a Stardust-level being. Of course, this kind of accelerated Stardust-level being only has source energy and physique. Before reaching the source energy control of the Stardust level, it cannot advance further because it cannot condense source crystals on its own."

Feeling the surging power within him, Li Zhenguo's eyes gleamed with a complex light: "I never imagined that I, Li Zhenguo, could reach the Stardust level in my twilight years. Thank you, Comrade Lin Yi."

Lin Yi shook his head and smiled, "Chief Li, you flatter me."

Then, Li Zhenguo looked at Lin Yi and said, "Since God has given me another chance, I want to see with my own eyes how you lead us to storm the main nest!"

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "That day won't be too far away."

Li Zhenguo nodded solemnly, then looked at Lin Yi and Zhou Donglai, his tone becoming serious.

“Since you’re here, we can discuss some things together,” Li Zhenguo said. “Comrade Lin Yi, since you’re here, don’t rush back. There’s a meeting we can attend together later. Also, could you please just state the fact that you killed the Star Core-level Abyss Beast and helped me recover my health? Otherwise, I’ll have to think of a better reason.”

Now that Lin Yi had obtained what he wanted, there was naturally nothing to hide. "I reminded you to keep it a secret before because it was just a guess, and I didn't want to get excited for nothing and cause any trouble. Now that it's successful, there's nothing to hide."

“Okay.” Li Zhenguo nodded, then dialed the phone by the bedside. “Pass the word down that they need to come to the Longyuan Command Center immediately for a meeting.” After hanging up, Li Zhenguo said, “Let’s go, let’s go to the meeting room too.”

The three of them left the medical area together and headed towards the conference room in the command center.

The officers and soldiers along the way were quite surprised to see the three men.

Why is it that one of the three looks quite similar to Chief Li?
-
The conference room is located in the core area of ​​the command center. The national flag of Xia is placed in the center of the oval conference table, and multiple display screens are hung on the surrounding walls, displaying real-time monitoring data of various matters across the country.

"Sir!" Director Dong of the research institute strode forward and stopped three steps away from Li Zhenguo. "Did you use some special treatment method?"

Li Zhenguo smiled and looked at Lin Yi and Zhou Donglai: "We have to thank Comrade Lin Yi for this."

"I see. Commander, we are all very pleased to see you recover."

Dong Wang had already suspected and was certain that it was related to Yuan Energy; now that his suspicions had been confirmed, he offered his congratulations.

"You are in such good condition that you have returned to your prime, which is a great blessing for the country."

"Yes. We were all very worried when we learned that you were unwell, but now that we see you've recovered, we're relieved," another executive said with a smile.

Then, he paused and exclaimed, "However, source energy is truly amazing."

Although he didn't explain what was so magical about it, everyone in the conference room understood what he meant.

Seeing the changes in Li Zhenguo at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little envious.

With Lin Yi and Zhou Donglai's endorsement, and having already witnessed the wonders of source energy, they had some questions, but were only curious about how it was done.

The attendees who arrived later were filled with surprise, but seeing that no one else seemed to be acting strangely, they didn't ask any further questions and simply offered their congratulations in a restrained manner.

Once everyone had arrived, the meeting room immediately returned to a solemn and respectful atmosphere.

Li Zhenguo sat in the main seat, his authoritative gaze slowly sweeping over everyone present.

"The meeting begins." Li Zhenguo's voice was steady but carried an unprecedented sharpness. "First, I have an important announcement to make."

He paused for a moment to make sure everyone's attention was on him.

"Comrade Lin Yi successfully killed a Star Core-level Abyss Beast in the operation two days ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, a suppressed murmur arose in the conference room.

A star core-level entity with a source energy exceeding one million.

Everyone had a very clear understanding of the situation.

Li Zhenguo coughed lightly to stop everyone's discussion, and then continued, "After killing the Star Core-level Abyss Beast, Comrade Lin Yi obtained a special item from the Spirit Crystal it dropped—[Star Source Initial Evolution Fluid]."

"It was this item that helped me regain my health and allowed me to directly obtain Stardust-level Source Energy."

　There will be 3 more updates, so it will be a little later.
