Chapter 382: Just for the Family
Bai Ze and Wu Yijun talked about the potion for more than two hours.
While the basic framework has been decided, there are still a lot of details that need to be explored in depth. After all, this is not a small matter.
The matter of potions can determine the future of the camp, and it is no exaggeration to say that the survival of many people is closely related to this. It's not an exaggeration to say that a bottle of potion can save the life of a soul evolver, such as triggering a critical hit effect in a desperate battle, and the battle situation will be turned around immediately.
Even if it was Bai Ze himself, no matter what his personal strength was, the improvement brought by the potion could not be ignored. His stats are getting higher and higher, and he can improve even more by drinking the potion.
In the end, Bai Ze and Wu Yijun's decision was to save a small part of the second-order blood instead of dissolving it in water. In this way, the research team of plant culture can test the effects of different herbs with a small portion of blood.
Maybe there will be mana recovery potions, stamina recovery potions, wound recovery potions, and so on in the future. In this way, the possibilities are almost endless.
Before you know it, the sun is slowly setting on the distant horizon.
From the room on the top floor of Bai Ze's private villa, it can be said to be very magnificent. The sky without gray clouds is dyed crimson with a hint of orange nearby, and the sun slowly sets, heralding the end of the day and the beginning of night.
Bai Ze looked at the outside world steadily, and almost at the same time, hundreds of thoughts flashed through his mind. In just a few hours of sleep, from the moment he opened his eyes to the moment he closed them again, his brain was in a constant state of confusion, and that feeling of tiredness was something many people could not imagine.
Am I doing it right? Can I do better? How can I make everyone stronger faster? Should I start destroying the settlements of other forces? Such thoughts have always haunted him, and no one knows that under his firm and confident appearance, there are actually many invisible confusions hidden.
Wu Yijun secretly looked at the face of the man beside him who was illuminated by the crimson sunset, and couldn't help but moisten his eyes slightly. The wildly beating heart unexpectedly calmed down, and breathing became smooth and smooth.
When was the last time she felt so calm? So calm that she could stay in this room forever without moving. Although Wu Yijun is a strong and independent woman, because her family's upbringing needs this to survive in the political world, in the end, she is still a 23-year-old young woman.
At such an age, she should have the best time in college, make new friends, and work hard to grow in her studies. She should enjoy this time, like the most beautiful and dazzling flower in her life. However, everything has changed.
As they all stood silently, each thinking about something, the minutes and seconds passed.
A few minutes later, when her dark eyes reflected the beautiful scenery in front of her, Wu Yijun whispered: "If you were asked to go back to before everything changed, would you be willing to go back?" ”
Bai Ze didn't look at her, his indifferent eyes made it difficult to understand what he was thinking, he thought about the question that the beautiful woman around him had just asked.
"If I can go back and let my family live a safe and happy life, then why not?"
Wu Yijun was a little surprised when she heard his answer, but when she turned her face slightly to look at Bai Ze and found that he was not joking, she couldn't help but ask:
"Even if you lose all the power you've gained so far? Going back means that you will lose everything and become a normal citizen...... Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you......" She quickly apologized, because her words could easily be misunderstood.
Bai Ze smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "Your words didn't offend me, for me, it's not a shame at all to be an ordinary citizen without power." On the contrary, I believe that ordinary citizens are more entitled to be proud of themselves than those who are rich and powerful...... Because unlike them, we poor people live on our own efforts, and they live on our own families. ”
Wu Yijun listened to Bai Ze's words just now and fell into deep thought. Didn't she grow up all the way under the care of her family? Even her future work may be affected by her family.
She blushed slightly, feeling truly ashamed for the first time in her life. Only then did she understand the reason why Bai Ze never felt inferior.
Still, she couldn't help but say, "But...... Having lost all your strength, are you sure you're willing to let go? ”
Wu Yijun felt incredulous. After all, humans are born greedy and ambitious creatures. It is almost impossible to find a truly pure and obedient soul. Many people may say this, but the fact that sake is popular and gold moves the heart of the Tao cannot be changed.
It's a pity that Wu Yijun was wrong. She didn't know Bai Ze at all.
"The real reason I'm fighting is because of my family." Bai Ze said in a deep voice, looking firmly into the distance. "Everything I've done since the end of the world has been for the future of me and my family. I may be seen as a god in the eyes of others, but that's only because I've always been able to overcome all the obstacles that come my way...... But only I know that in this great universe, I am like a drop in the ocean. ”
Although Bai Ze's voice sounded indifferent, as if he was telling something inconsequential, Wu Yijun vaguely felt the pain, regret, and inferiority complex in his heart.
What kind of burden is on him? What are the secrets that he hides in his heart, afraid of being hurt, and no one sees? Wu Yijun had countless questions that he wanted to ask the young people around him, but when he heard his next words, he was stuck in his throat.
"Because I was weak and incompetent in the past, I couldn't protect the people I loved, and now it's the same......," Bai Ze blamed himself. Determination flashed in his eyes, and there was murderous intent in his voice, and he said, "But it won't be like this forever...... Someday, I will be strong enough to protect my loved ones. ”
Wu Yijun's heart tightened slightly, listening to the self-blame in Bai Ze's tone. He is the most praised man by countless women in the camp, and the most powerful human being known to the world, but this man has a very low opinion of himself.
In fact, Bai Ze does not think of himself as a genius as Linglong often says. What's the use of being a genius? At the end of the day, being gifted doesn't change the fact that he's weak; That is, because of his own incompetence, his family may suffer all the time.
Others only saw the good and evil that Bai Ze showed. But everyone seems to have forgotten that he is also human.
However, Wu Yijun still couldn't help choking and said:
"Are you being too yourself? You've done a great job. You're doing better than anyone else. You should be proud of yourself. ”
Bai Ze looked at her for a moment, smiled wryly and shook his head.
Proud? Bai Ze was certainly proud of himself. He has always been a proud presence, and not just because he has recently gained a little power that is insignificant in the eyes of the truly powerful. It's just that Wu Yijun still can't understand it.
When Bai Ze looked into Wu Yijun's eyes, he noticed the genuine concern in her gaze. Those beautiful black eyes were soaked with tiny teardrops, and they were almost about to fall.
Bai Ze stretched out his right hand towards her.
"I think you'll understand when you see this...... And I also believe that when you see my heart, you will be able to understand what I am saying better. ”
His heart? Wu Yijun looked at Bai Ze's outstretched palm, and then looked at his face. Looking at the smile with a hint of helplessness, bitterness, and gratitude, she finally understood.
Bai Ze was burdened with a burden that she, Shangguan Bingxue, and any other woman could not understand.
Maybe...... Perhaps only a true god can understand. She thought, stretching out her slender hand to Bai Ze.
