Zhao Hanxue laughed in exasperation, "Buddy, you think the Superpower Potion is like wildflowers by the roadside, just pick them whenever you want. To be frank, I've only developed 12 doses so far, and I can't tell you how many people are eagerly eyeing them. Even the other team leaders have approached several tis."
She pointed a finger at Luo Chao, "But here you are, asking for several doses right off the bat. How many do you want, exactly? Should I just give them all to you?" She mocked him without reservation.
This ti, Luo Chao was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected so many people to be waiting. "How co there are only twelve doses? Didn't the vice team leader send people to gather materials for you?"
"You think this stuff is made from the grass on the roadside? It's all composed of extrely rare materials worldwide. For instance, one of the main ingredients grows over ten thousand ters under the sea, where even the top submarines in Huaxia have difficulty reaching. Do you have any idea how much energy it takes to send a submarine to such depths?" Zhao Hanxue sneered.
"Even if we get our hands on the materials, success isn't guaranteed. The failure rate is high. I want to see if you still have the nerve to make such a bold request."
After listening to Zhao Hanxue's words, Luo Chao felt a little embarrassed himself. But he still wanted to try, "Then I only need one dose, is that okay? Besides, I already have a candidate in mind who absolutely ets the standards of a Superpower Constitution."
Seeing his awkward look, Zhao Hanxue secretly laughed to herself. She said all this to give Luo Chao a hard ti. In fact, Tie Xiong had already told her that each of the eight team leaders had the right to claim one Superpower Potion, but she just didn't want Luo Chao to get it so easily.
For so reason, the normally aloof goddess couldn't help but bicker with Luo Chao whenever she saw him. Using the Superpower Potion as an excuse this ti, not only could she tease him a bit, but also make him feel indebted to her. Why not?
So, she tightened her face, looking as if she had made a painful decision. "Since that's the case, I... I can decide to give you one dose, but you must keep it a secret and not tell anyone."
"Thank you so much." Luo Chao was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude, "Miss, you are truly a good person."
"Bring your chosen person over; I need to test him first to see if he ets the requirents, otherwise we'll waste a dose."
"Here he is. It's him." Luo Chao stood up and pulled the little wolf behind him.
At that mont, the little wolf was truly stunned. He never imagined that Luo Chao brought him here to secure a dose of Superpower Potion for him.
He could tell from Zhao Hanxue's words just how precious the Superpower Potion was, and as an orphan without parents or any backing, he never dared to hope for such a thing.
If he could get this dose of Superpower Potion, he might beco a Superpower User, sothing he had dreamt of achieving, sothing he had despaired of, and never expected Luo Chao would give him hope again.
Tears instantly filled his eyes, and he choked, "Brother Tian, I... I..."
"What's with the tears? Just a little surprise and you're crying. What will you do when you're living the good life with Brother Tian?" Luo Chao gave him a pat on the head and said jokingly, "Standing there doing nothing for? Hurry over."
"Brother Luo... you're like a real brother to ." The little wolf started to smile, but the tears couldn't stop flowing.
"That goes without saying!" Luo Chao couldn't handle the kid's sentintality anymore and pushed him over, "What we've agreed on doesn't need repeating."
The little wolf wiped his eyes with his sleeve, revealing a bright smile as the last bit of gloom in his heart faded away, "Yes, it's what we agreed on." He nodded emphatically, speaking with determination.
Then, he strode over to Zhao Hanxue, "Captain Zhao, how should we proceed with the test?"
"Just sit on that chair," Zhao Hanxue pointed to a uniquely shaped chair and said with a sowhat complicated expression.
The little wolf nodded and sat on it without hesitation.
"Are you ready?" Zhao Hanxue asked. Seeing the little wolf nod without issue, she pressed a button. A helt connected with densely packed wires was placed on the little wolf's head. He showed no panic, closing his eyes calmly.
Very quickly, he cald his excitent down. His level of composure was atypical for soone his age.
The small lights on the helt flickered continuously as Zhao Hanxue stared intently at the brain monitor screen in front of her, filled with complicated codes that Luo Chao couldn't understand.
Gradually, a look of astonishnt appeared on Zhao Hanxue's face, and she murmured, "He has reached the critical value..."
Luo Chao frowned, "What does that an? Is the little wolf okay?"
"I an... the strength of his superpower cells has now reached a critical point. If it gets just a bit stronger, he can activate his superpower on his own." Zhao Hanxue worried he might not understand, so she made a small gesture with her fingers.
After understanding what she ant, Luo Chao couldn't remain calm.
He knew why this was the case; it was entirely due to the boy's self-mutilating action of cutting himself repeatedly. That insane form of self-torture greatly enhanced the werewolf bloodline's regenerative abilities within him, which indirectly stimulated the superpower cells inherited from his mother. Over the years, the little wolf had nearly reached the point where he could activate his superpower at any mont.
Facing the determined little wolf who had already removed the helt, Luo Chao took a deep breath before speaking, "Little Wolf, I now offer you two choices."
"I'm giving you two choices, and you can choose freely," Luo Chao spoke gently, feeling a deep sense of compassion for the boy who had endured so much hardship to reach this stage.
"Hm?" The little wolf looked puzzled at Luo Chao, unsure why he was saying this.
Luo Chao patiently explained, "From the tests we just ran, we found that you could gain superpowers without the Superpower Potion."
"Really!!!?" The little wolf's face lit up with joy. He clenched his fists, his whole body shaking slightly.
"Exactly." Luo Chao nodded to him, fully confident, "That's why I said you have two choices: one, you take the Superpower Potion to gain your superpower imdiately, or two, you awaken it entirely on your own without relying on any external substances."
Luo Chao looked at him with tenderness, "The choice is yours!"
