TRCP 210 PART 1

Chapter 210: The Mysterious Qinghai Part 1

Chu Xingzhou casually entered the hotel, with Yi Dong and a woman who appeared gentle following behind him. Chu Xingzhou’s gaze immediately landed on Rong Lan, and he squinted his eyes, his expression both bold and guarded, filled with contradictions.

Rong Lan glanced indifferently at Chu Xingzhou and turned away, as if dismissing him.

Chu Xingzhou smirked and walked over slowly, speaking with a teasing tone, “My distinguished lord, delighted to see you.” He extended his hand after finishing his words.

Rong Lan coldly stared at him.

Chu Xingzhou didn’t feel embarrassed, lightly laughing, “Still as arrogant as ever.” While speaking, his hand reached towards Rong Lan’s hair.

A glint flashed in Rong Lan’s eyes as he waved his hand, a strong light flashed, and Chu Xingzhou’s four fingers were neatly cut off, no blood in sight, but transformed into black smoke in the air. Finally, those slender fingers grew back on his hand, and Chu Xingzhou looked at his intact fingers, faintly smiling.

Yi Dong and the woman took a step forward, but Chu Xingzhou gestured to stop them, smiling lowly, “Rong Lan, just a friendly meeting, you’re really fierce.”

The next day, indeed, more people arrived one after another. With the introduction by Song Qi, they gradually got to know these high-level mutant individuals. In addition to those under Rong Lan and Chu Xingzhou, there was also a group that didn’t belong to any faction—such as the atavistic humans, cheetah mutant, cyan ear mutant, and power evolution individual. All of them were third-order mutants who could freely enter and leave Golmud. According to Song Qi, this was the largest gathering of advanced mutants in Qinghai’s history, and they were about to launch the biggest attack on mutant flora and fauna. This gathering in the obscure and desolate town would go down in history.

In the evening at six o’clock, almost everyone summoned from both sides had arrived. Chu Xingzhou set up a feast in the lobby. While the dishes were simple, there was no shortage of wine, filling an entire table. However, as an important figure, Rong Lan did not show up.

Cong Xia counted, and this time a total of twenty-six people came. There were as many as seventeen third-tier mutants alone, and half of them had just broken through to the third tier in the past month. The gap in strength between these people and Song Qi, Zhao Luomeng, and others was still quite obvious. The only regret was that Jacqueline never appeared.

Chu Xingzhou raised his glass, looking around, “This is an extraordinary gathering. It will change the stagnation we’ve had for over two years, unite us, break the barrier of Qinghai, and step into the outside world. We have been waiting for this day, so let’s raise our glasses for today.”

Everyone raised their glasses, boldly drinking the wine.

At this long table sat six natural force evolved individuals, almost consolidating the world’s strongest human combat power. If they were not confident in challenging Golmud or leaving Qinghai before, now everyone realized that this lineup represented their only opportunity.

“I believe everyone knows what we’re here to do. Our goal is the two Puppet Jades in the Golmud region. For a more detailed plan, Mr. Sun will explain.”

Mr. Sun cleared his throat and described the entire plan without reservation. It sounded almost impossible to bring out two Puppet Jades from the monster-infested sea of Golmud, and everyone could potentially lose their lives. Mr. Sun did not shy away from the danger of this operation. At the same time, he emphasized the information brought by Zhuang Yao and Tang Tingzhi about the outside world, filling everyone present with longing. Danger accompanies great benefits, and once they leave, every mutant will enjoy the best life that the apocalypse has to offer in Beijing or elsewhere in the country. This was a huge temptation for those who had been trapped in this increasingly barren land for over two years.

Halfway through the banquet, there was a sudden commotion outside the hotel door. Then, the door was opened, and a piercing cold wind swept into the lobby, causing everyone to shiver.

Two figures covered in snow appeared at the door, one tall and one slender, both tightly wrapped, revealing only their eyes, making it impossible to see their faces.

Chu Xingzhou looked at them for a while, “Jacqueline.”

Con Xia was surprised and looked towards Cheng Tianbi, only to find that Cheng Tianbi’s eyes had long been attracted by the people at the door. He knew that Cheng Tianbi must have sensed some kind of resonance, similar to when other natural force evolved individuals of the same attribute met.

The tall man closed the door, and the slender person took off the hat and scarf, revealing an extraordinarily beautiful face. Her skin was as translucent as white porcelain, her eyes as sky-blue as the sky, and her hair as radiant as golden sand. Jacqueline looked exactly like the photo, or even more elegant than it appeared in the photo. She shook her soft, long hair and surveyed the surroundings, finally landing her gaze on Cheng Tianbi.

She spoke, surprising everyone with her unexpectedly deep and slightly husky voice, sounding incredibly sexy, “It’s you, Cheng Tianbi.”

This sentence was spoken in Chinese, with a hint of an accent but very clear.

Cheng Tianbi remained motionless, gazing at her.

Chu Xingzhou said, “Miss Jacqueline, you’re late.”

“Sorry, Lord Xuan. My escort and I got lost.”

The tall man caught the hat and scarf she tossed, then carefully helped her remove her coat. He was a nearly two-meter-tall Russian, with a cold and rugged appearance. Despite his massive biceps being thicker than Jacqueline’s waist, he treated her with great respect.

In the eyes of everyone, Jacqueline walked to Cheng Tianbi and extended her hand. “I’ve been looking forward to meeting you.”

Cheng Tianbi looked at her hand, “Do you know…”

“I know. Don’t worry, I can control the energy. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. I just want to give it a try now.”

Cheng Tianbi hesitated for a moment, then shook her hand. In an instant, a surge of energy coursed through him. He had never felt such immense potential within his own body. The energy seemed to want to burst through his skin, and he felt like he was losing control. Just then, a soothing flow of wood energy entered his body, calming his restless energy. Their wood energies gradually merged and flowed smoothly.

They released each other’s hands.

Although everything had just happened in a few seconds, Cheng Tianbi felt like he had mastered a more precise method of energy control. There was a strange sensation that a part of his body had been filled. Was this the combination of energies of the same attribute? Did it mean that natural force evolved individuals were incomplete on their own, and only when two individuals with the same attribute combined their energies, could their true strength be unleashed? Why were their energies separated in the first place? How were these ten individuals with no commonalities selected? Cheng Tianbi’s mind was filled with questions.

Jacqueline said, “How was it? Surprised? I am too. This energy is even more massive than I imagined.”

Cheng Tianbi nodded, “I think of Golmud. We can now see its true power.”

Jacqueline smiled slightly, “Exactly.”

Cong Xia stared at Jacqueline’s delicate skin and captivating blue eyes, a bit dumbfounded. Even the intimate interaction between her and Cheng Tianbi was ignored by him.

Jacqueline felt Cong Xia’s gaze, looked at him, and blinked at him.

Cong Xia blushed.

Jacqueline found a seat and sat down. Her escort sat beside her. She introduced herself, “Let me introduce myself. I’m Jacqueline, I came from Moscow. My escort’s name is Maxim, a polar bear mutant. We spent some time in Golmud to help him break through to the third tier, and he succeeded just yesterday.”

Maxim sat expressionless in his seat, not responding to any gazes directed at him, as if he lived in his own world and had no reaction to any sounds other than Jacqueline’s.

Chu Xingzhou said, “I’ll slowly introduce you to everyone here later. Each of them will participate in the battle in Golmud. Your joining us can save our warriors from shedding too much blood.”

Jacqueline said, “I’ll do my best.”

The men at the table all looked at Jacqueline, some boldly and others more discreetly. Her picturesque beauty attracted everyone’s attention. Mr. Sun, Zhuang Yao, and Tang Tingzhi also looked at her with interest. Mr. Sun said, “Now that everyone is here, I’ll continue.”

As they ate, they discussed the action plan. However, only the brain domain evolved individuals were truly considering it; others were just listening. With brain domain evolved individuals around, others rarely wasted time thinking about such matters, knowing that the former would plan more comprehensively.

In the end, they agreed to launch an attack on Golmud in a month, gathering again at this location. This month would give everyone enough time to prepare, and Chu Xingzhou would have time to pinpoint the exact location of the two Puppet Jades.

After the banquet, Jacqueline approached them. “I think we have many questions to ask each other.”

Zhuang Yao said, “You seem to know a lot that we don’t. For instance, how did you know that two natural force evolved individuals of the same attribute can unleash greater power together?”

“All I know is bestowed upon me by my ability. As you know, wood energy has rejuvenating properties. I’ve used energy to heal many people, and during the healing process, I found that if I infiltrate energy into the body of a wood attribute mutant, our energies can merge, creating a greater energy fluctuation. I can enhance their combat power and receive energy back from them. Of course, I must control it; the other person can’t actively use my energy. So, I thought that if I combine energy with another natural force evolved person of the same attribute, it would undoubtedly enhance the combat power of one or both parties. At that time, I wasn’t sure, as I had never controlled energy stronger than my own. However, recently I heard news from you that two natural force evolved individuals of the same attribute only need to touch each other, and energy naturally resonates, almost without the issue of who controls or dominates. Moreover, the energy produced is astonishing, aligning closely with my imagination, but even more surprising.”
