Chapter 1565: Chapter 898: With Deep Emotion
“Can I go in and give it a try?”
After chatting for quite a while, Liang Yuan was very fond of the equipment in front of him and immediately made this request.
Yang Lan hurriedly said, “Of course you can, I’ll have someone open the door right now.”
She quickly had someone open the door of the Cultivation Room.
Liang Yuan was the first to walk into this Cultivation Room.
This Cultivation Room was very large, and the interior was arranged like a hotel.
Liang Yuan couldn’t help showing a look of doubt. “Why is it decorated like this?”
Yang Lan gave a wry smile and said, “This is Jin Shirong’s personal exclusive cultivation room. Other than him, no one else is qualified to come in.”
Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows. “You mean, this kind of machine is specially reserved for him alone?”
“Yes, he lives here on a daily basis and also sleeps here at night.”
“That’s why he can cultivate so fast, and his gene recombination progress has been advancing by leaps and bounds.”
Liang Yuan couldn’t help asking, “Then how do the others cultivate?”
“Mengya has a total of ten of these machines. The other nine are controlled by Jin Shirong’s ten Avatars. When he’s not using them, they can be used in turn by the people below.”
“But generally speaking, the remaining time is only available to the Ten Board Members or those at department manager level.”
“So in fact, the reason Mengya’s top brass are so strong is because no one is competing with them for cultivation resources. The top will only grow stronger and stronger, while the middle and lower levels will naturally never be able to catch up to the experts at the top.”
Yang Lan’s words made Liang Yuan suddenly understand.
So the reason Mengya had so many experts was because they occupied a large amount of cultivation resources, and thus were able to nurture experts like the Ten Board Members and department managers.
But the people below were nowhere near as powerful.
Liang Yuan then asked about some of Mengya Company’s Rune Technology.
Yang Lan introduced Mengya’s tech products to Liang Yuan one by one.
Throughout Mengya, there were quite a few things produced by combining high technology with Runes.
Among them, the Rune Engine and Rune Energy Pump were all top-tier power equipment.
There were even Superpower Stone energy devices that supplied power to each Floating Island.
All in all, in the field of Rune Technology, Mengya had already moved ahead of Yangshan!
Whether it was spaceships or carrier fleets, they all showcased an extremely high level of technical proficiency.
Listening to Yang Lan’s introduction, Liang Yuan’s face was full of delight.
“Good, good, good, what a Mengya, I didn’t expect there to be so many good things.”
Liang Yuan was overjoyed. In the whole of Mengya, aside from population resources and land resources, what tempted him the most were these talent resources and technological resources.
If these could be integrated with Yangshan’s R&D department, Yangshan’s overall technological level would definitely improve tremendously.
“Right, there’s also the R&D center over at Carey Technology Company. For Carey Technology to stand alongside Mengya as one of the three major forces in Yu Province, its R&D capability surely won’t be any worse than Mengya’s.”
“Once things stabilize on Mengya’s side, I’ll go take a look at Carey Technology.”
Liang Yuan spent the entire morning learning about Mengya’s situation.
It wasn’t until the afternoon, when Li Ting came with people seeking an audience, that Liang Yuan finally walked out of the R&D department.
When he saw Li Ting, Liang Yuan was somewhat surprised.
Because Li Ting hadn’t come alone; she was accompanied by Liu Qinghong and an old man with a Thunder Attribute.
Upon seeing Liang Yuan, Li Ting immediately smiled and said, “Mr. Liang, I did not fail the mission. I’ve helped you bring back Mengya’s Lightning Dharma King.”
“Mr. Hong Lei, this is the Master of Yang Mountain, Mr. Liang Yuan.”
Hong Lei hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, “Hello, Mr. Liang. This old man has long heard that Yangshan produced a heroic figure. Seeing you today, I finally know what a hero truly looks like.”
Hong Lei’s attitude was extremely courteous. Liang Yuan didn’t put on any airs either; he smiled faintly and said, “So it’s Mr. Hong, you flatter me. Please, have a seat.”
Everyone sat down in turn. Liang Yuan looked at Liu Qinghong and asked, “Why are you together with Li Ting? Where is that friend of yours?”
Liu Qinghong gave a wry smile and said, “Master, Li Ruohan is stubborn and obsessed, clinging bitterly to her love for Jin Shirong. This subordinate failed to persuade her to surrender and was instead captured by her.”
“If Miss Li hadn’t intervened, I’m afraid this subordinate wouldn’t be able to see Master now.”
“Oh? What happened?” Liang Yuan asked immediately.
Liu Qinghong glanced at Li Ting and said, “It’s better if Miss Li explains.”
She didn’t address Li Ting as Director Li. In front of Liang Yuan, Mengya’s former positions were all things of the past.
Li Ting then began talking about her experiences this time.
She was very good at speaking and also very good at sharing credit; she didn’t belittle Liu Qinghong or Hong Lei.
After all, she had been at the level of a company chairwoman even before the apocalypse; naturally, she had an excellent command of verbal skills.
When Liang Yuan heard that they had actually gone to Meteor Island and even subdued the two islands of Xiangshan Island and Oasis Island, he was immediately astonished.
“This is Liu Xisheng, the Island Lord of Xiangshan Island, and this is Lin Qiuyue, the Island Lord of Oasis Island.”
Li Ting introduced the two people behind her.
Liu Xisheng and Lin Qiuyue quickly stepped forward, both cupping their hands in salute.
“Greetings, Mr. Liang. Liu Xisheng of Xiangshan Island pays his respects and hopes you can take in our Xiangshan Island.”
“Hello, Mr. Liang. Our Oasis Island is also willing to pledge allegiance to Yangshan and advance and retreat together with Yangshan from now on,” Lin Qiuyue also said.
The two of them carried themselves with very humble attitudes. They knew very well that Yangshan’s momentum was already unstoppable, so at this moment they naturally had to set their own positions straight.
Liang Yuan stood up and burst into loud laughter. “Good, good, good. Yangshan is a big family, and we welcome all friends who agree with our Shelter ideals to join us.”
“On behalf of all of Yangshan, I welcome you both.”
Liu Xisheng and Lin Qiuyue exchanged a glance, and both of their faces broke into smiles.
Clearly, they hadn’t expected Liang Yuan to be so easy to talk to.
There wasn’t the slightest hint of aggressive pressure from him.
They had thought that Liang Yuan had just taken over Mengya, so he must be in high spirits right now.
If it were them, they’d probably be floating with pride, but the Mr. Liang in front of them didn’t give off any arrogant, conceited feeling at all. Instead he was as mild as a spring breeze, easy to approach.
The two of them let out a sigh of relief in their hearts. It seemed this Mr. Liang was much better than Jin Shirong.
Maybe joining Yangshan was actually a pretty good choice.
After a round of pleasantries, the two sat back down.
At this moment Li Ting smiled and said, “Mr. Liang, on this trip we also dropped by Meteor Island on the way.”
“I originally planned to persuade Meteor Island’s Island Lord, Wu Meng, to surrender, but I didn’t expect that this man didn’t know what’s good for him—he’d rather go to the Divine Country than join Yangshan.”
Liang Yuan thought back to Wu Meng. Back when they were in Yangshan, Wu Meng had already been an arrogant guy. He hadn’t expected that after so many years, and after experiencing the upheaval of the Earth Mother Sect, Wu Meng could still hold on to that arrogance.
He immediately asked, “So, you actually fought?”
“Yes.”
“How did it end?” Liang Yuan was somewhat curious.
You had to know that the people before him were all experts at Genetic Reorganization Level. If they made a move together, could Wu Meng really hold them off?
Or was it that Meteor Island had quite a few experts assisting Wu Meng?
Li Ting sighed. “Wu Meng’s combat ability is very strong. His gene recombination progress is around 60%. Among us, only Mr. Hong could actually exchange blows with him.”
“Originally Qinghong could barely manage to stall him, but she doesn’t have a powerful divine control, so she couldn’t offer any real help.”
Liang Yuan was a bit shocked. “What did you say? Wu Meng’s gene recombination progress is already at 60%?”
He truly was surprised. Back at the struggle at the Dark Abyss Mouth, he had met Wu Meng. At that time, don’t mention gene recombination—even during the Genetic Species stage, Wu Meng hadn’t counted as particularly formidable.
Back then he’d still only been a squad-leader-level figure in the Earth Mother Sect.
He hadn’t expected that in just a short span of Time, this guy had advanced by leaps and bounds to this extent.
You had to know that Zhao Kai and Ding Yan, to this day, only had gene recombination progress hovering around 40%.
Which meant that Wu Meng’s Cultivation Speed was twice as fast as theirs!
This made Liang Yuan feel it was unbelievable.
After all, Zhao Kai and Ding Yan were in Yangshan, with Yangshan’s Cultivation resources backing them.
What was Wu Meng relying on?
Meteor Island was just a small Floating Island. Could it be that he actually had top-notch gene recombination technology?
At this point Hong Lei spoke up, sighing with emotion. “To tell you the truth, the old man isn’t his match either.”
Liang Yuan was once again taken aback. He glanced at Hong Lei and asked, “If I remember correctly, his Superpower is Physical Class, right? Flesh and Blood Growth Superpower, can’t beat Thunder Attribute Superpower?”
Hong Lei gave a bitter smile. “Mr. Liang, you don’t know. This Wu Meng is indeed Physical Class, but his Genetic Form is very special.”
“His Genetic Form has evolved into a kind of exoskeleton form. His Defense Power has greatly increased, and at the same Time he can rapidly grow bone blades, Bone Spikes, bone claws and other offensive weapons.”
“For some reason, his exoskeleton’s hardness is extremely high, as if it’s been specially reinforced.”
“Besides, his degree of development of his Superpower is extremely high. He’s even researched new attack methods.”
“New attack methods?”
“Yes. The move he used to defeat me was like rubber. He could actually stretch his arm out a great distance and grab me from far away.”
“It was precisely because of that move—caught off guard—that I was seized by him.”
Liang Yuan froze. Rubber Superpower?
He remembered that Yangshan once had Li Yuefeng, who used that Superpower.
But how could Wu Meng’s Flesh and Blood Growth also possess that kind of ability?
“How does he do it?”
Liang Yuan couldn’t understand, and couldn’t help asking.
Hong Lei explained, “I observed him. At the instant he extended his hand, his own muscles and bones ruptured, with the arm’s meridians pulling and stretching to achieve the extending-and-contracting effect.”
“Then, because he has a powerful Self-healing Ability, after the stretch, those shattered bones and flesh quickly recover.”
“In this way, he achieves the ability to extend and retract his arm.”
After Hong Lei finished speaking, he couldn’t help but sigh. “That man really is terrifying. It’s the first Time I’ve seen someone use a Self-healing Class Superpower like this.”
“To think up this kind of fighting style is just… just…”
For a moment, he didn’t know what adjective to use.
“A madman.”
Liang Yuan said with a smile.
“Yes, yes, a madman!”
“Too crazy,” Hong Lei shouted.
Liang Yuan laughed. He knew Wu Meng’s fighting style all too well.
With Hong Lei’s description, he immediately understood that this was exactly Wu Meng’s way of fighting.
Back when he crossed hands with Wu Meng in Yangshan, Wu Meng had already displayed this kind of madness.
Back then, when he used Spiritual Attack on Wu Meng, attempting to smash his Spiritual World, Wu Meng had been terrifying enough to simply abandon Spiritual resistance altogether.
He could rely purely on his body’s instinct and still fight!
Honestly, if Elemental Class Superpower evolvers had never appeared.
Then someone like Wu Meng might have been the true top-tier powerhouse.
By comparison, people like Jin Shirong and Wu Yaobang simply couldn’t be called true experts.
Though they possessed extraordinary Superpowers, when it came to Combat Instinct and the development and use of their own Superpowers, among all the people Liang Yuan knew, Wu Meng was unquestionably number one.
Unfortunately, Wu Meng was ultimately still limited by his Superpower.
The Flesh and Blood Growth Superpower, in the end, had too little potential.
