Chapter 172: Old Man Zhou’s Reward
The air was quiet for three seconds. Only the residual flames after Yang Ming’s last fire bombardment were still burning gently in the distance, and someone was unconsciously moving his feet on the ants’ corpses, making a "crackling" sound.
"You ran away from the powerful base just like that? No one pursued you?" Lin Ci looked incredulous, and her voice was filled with disbelief.
"That’s right!" The old man responded neatly, and at the end he deliberately raised his voice, "I gave them a high dosage of hallucination. By the time they realized what happened, I was miles away from them!"
"You’re crazy..." Yang Ming murmured, looking at him as if he was looking at an endangered exotic species.
"Hey, I’m not crazy, I’m a practical person!" The old man didn’t care at all and patted his heavy medicine bag proudly. The bottles and jars jingled.
"Compared to mixing medicine for the powerful, I prefer to find the herbs myself and see the wonders of the world and create something extraordinary and not just stay in the lab working for others. This is called life!"
Liora exhaled, with a rare complex expression on her face, mixed with headache, admiration, and... a little bit of indescribable helplessness.
"You are... too casual. You carry powerful potions in your bag like candy."
"Don’t worry! I set a 100-digit encryption password before I went out!" The old man patted his chest, his eyes shining. "No one can crack it without my formula. Unless they know what my cat likes to eat, my blood type, and how many times I failed high school chemistry!"
Everyone: ’-’
Even Liora was stunned for a moment and blinked, as if evaluating whether the old man in front of her was a genius, a madman, or both.
