Chapter 171 Human Wisdom
"Kangcheng has also mastered the method of extracting evolutionary factors to promote evolution..."
This is normal, though. Humans are inherently intelligent, especially true experts who specialize in biology. Once they discover the phenomenon of evolution, they will naturally seek ways to accelerate it.
The fact that we can obtain evolutionary factors simply by burning the mycelium and letting it sit in water shows that this is very simple, and it is only a matter of time before biological experts develop an extraction method.
But to be honest, it's a good thing there's the matter of mycelium, otherwise I probably would never have thought of actively promoting evolution in my entire life, at most I would have just eaten more evolved organisms every day.
Otherwise, our family would be far behind Kangcheng in terms of evolutionary level...
Standing to the side, Cang Nian listened to Qin Changyi's account of his life and was secretly alarmed.
He underestimated human intelligence.
He had originally thought that since his family had mastered the means to obtain evolution factors, they must be far ahead of humanity, and he was quite pleased with himself.
But as a result, even in Kangcheng, an ordinary prefecture-level city with a population of just over three million, some people have discovered ways to promote evolution.
From this perspective, it's estimated that almost every human city could summarize such a simple method.
In other words, the number of evolved organisms far exceeds that of humans; otherwise, the people of Kangcheng wouldn't be trapped here.
"Then... Uncle Qin, how many Tier 2 Evolvers are there in Kangcheng right now?"
After listening to Qin Changyi's explanation, Yi Chen frowned and then asked a question.
He also thought that once he returned to Kangcheng, his strength should be unmatched among all the heroes!
As a result, the police station alone had more than thirty second-tier evolved beings.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had encountered the Cangnian family in the jungle.
Otherwise, even if he were lucky enough to survive in the jungle with Pipi and overcome countless difficulties to return to Kangcheng, he would still be far behind the evolved humans here.
"The number is not large yet. Including the police station, there are about eighty people."
This is mainly due to the limitations imposed by the availability of evolved organisms.
When the police station was besieged that time, I eventually gave in, but in the end, it was no different from what I had planned to do.
All evolved beings can obtain evolution potions, but they need to provide Professor Liu with enough raw materials.
In addition, Professor Liu's research found that ordinary people can also promote evolution by eating the meat of evolved organisms, reaching a level comparable to that of evolved beings.
However, because they lack superpowers, they are still quite different from evolved individuals who possess superpowers.
Your parents are in this state now, possessing physical attributes comparable to a first-tier evolved being.
Qin Changyi replied.
"More than eighty second-tier evolved beings. Indeed, there is strength in numbers. Even though Kangcheng suffered from the earthquake disaster, the productivity that the remaining population can mobilize is incomparable to that of wild evolved creatures."
Cang Nian, standing to the side, felt a chill run down his spine.
Although, even at the second level, a human's physical abilities are still far inferior to those of a tiger.
Ultimately, however, after evolution, the strength of one's superpowers still plays a significant role in combat.
If my family were to actually fight Kangcheng, even disregarding the thousands of evolved beings, the chances of winning against just over eighty second-tier individuals would be slim.
"Hey... Old Qin, I told you back then that we should win over some of the evolved individuals as soon as possible so that our power wouldn't be shaken."
Now you want to lead everyone to find a way to survive, but some people just want to be local tyrants, riding on the heads of ordinary people and acting like superiors.
That's why you can't get promoted until you solve a poaching case.
You're just not cut out to be an official.
"If it were the mayor, or your old bureau chief, those old foxes wouldn't be in such a passive situation."
Yi's father, standing to the side, chuckled and shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Qin Changyi did not reply, but simply smoked silently.
He thought to himself, as the highest-ranking public official in Kangcheng, that trying to win over civilian evolvers would be like forming a private army.
At that time, he still fantasized that since Kangcheng was the only place affected by the disaster, the higher authorities would definitely come to the rescue soon, and that he only needed to organize the rescue and relief efforts.
Wooing up civilian activists can be seen as police-civilian cooperation at best, but at worst it's collusion with criminal gangs. It's hard to define, and if it gets investigated later, he'll have to take off his clothes.
Unexpectedly, no one from the outside world came to the rescue, and Kangcheng became an isolated island.
He lacked experience in these areas and did not heed his father's advice, which led to a complete disaster.
"This... alas..."
Upon hearing this, Yichen could only sigh deeply.
He was also thinking that since there were no second-tier evolvers in Kangcheng, he could use his second-tier strength to solve Qin Changyi's predicament.
However, now that there are more second-tier evolved beings in the civilian population, he and Pipi, both second-tier combatants, can no longer play a decisive role.
Although his [Laws] are strong, and he has also consumed Spirit-Nourishing Pine Nuts, which have enhanced his [Early Wisdom] effect, making him significantly stronger than other second-tier cultivators, he has not yet reached the point where he can fight dozens of opponents single-handedly.
Yi Chen subconsciously wanted to give one of the four pine nuts Cangnian had given him to Qin Changyi, but then he remembered that these nuts were extremely precious and that good steel should be used where it was most needed.
He didn't know what Qin Changyi's special ability was yet, and it would be a waste if it wasn't powerful.
Therefore, he prepared to carefully select a person to take pine nuts.
The superpower must be strong enough to not betray oneself.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, Yichen. Your special ability must be quite strong, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to return to Kangcheng."
"Here's what I'll do. I'll cut you in line. Here's a dose of the latest evolution potion you've made. It'll help you break through to the second tier as quickly as possible and give you an extra boost."
At this moment, Qin Changyi had finished his cigarette, and then he spoke again.
“Well… Uncle Qin, I’ve already broken through to the second tier, and Pipi is also at the second tier.”
Upon hearing this, Yichen scratched the back of his head and said.
"What? You've already broken through to the second tier?"
Upon hearing this news, Qin Changyi jumped to his feet, utterly astonished.
In the entire city of Kangcheng, there has not yet been a single evolved individual who has naturally broken through to the second tier.
No wonder he reacted so strongly.
"Maybe the evolved creatures that Pipi and I ate in the wild were more evolved?"
Anyway, we somehow managed to break through to the second tier.
Yichen rambled on.
Knowing that Kangcheng already had a way to promote evolution, he wanted to make the story more plausible, such as accidentally burning down a forest while starting a fire outside, and then obtaining substances that could promote evolution from the ashes.
But upon further reflection, he realized he didn't have any containers, so this method, which bypassed the little sable, didn't make sense.
So, I might as well just make something up and get by.
“That makes sense… Professor Liu also said that as time goes on, the evolutionary level of organisms increases, and the amount of flesh and blood of organisms needed to extract evolutionary agents decreases.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Changyi had no doubts and nodded in understanding.
