84 Fei Li Island

“Perfect awakening potion? War insect armor? What are these two things?”

In the face of Ning Shi’s questions, Yun Moxiang didn’t keep him in suspense. She flicked her hair and explained, “The perfect awakening potion is an upgraded version of the awakening potion. The reaction of the Luo substance inside is ten times that of the ordinary awakening potion, but the side effects of taking it are lower than that of the ordinary potion.”

“This potion is very rare because its production method was not controlled by the country and it was completely accidental.”

“For every 1-2 million bottles of ordinary awakening potion produced, one bottle of perfect awakening potion will be produced by accident.”

This is probably similar to the probability of superior, good, and inferior products in the production process, but the ratio is really too low. Ning Shi continued to ask, “Since the recipe of the normal potion and the perfect potion are the same, it should be a slight difference in the production process. Can’t the officials figure out what the difference is?”

Yun Moxiang shook her head. “The production process of the medicine is quite complicated, and there are too many subtle differences. There is no progress in the research at the moment.”

“Then what’s the effect of the perfect awakening potion? Increase the probability of awakening?”

Facing Ning Shi’s question, Yun Moxiang smiled.

“Since it is deemed ‘perfect’, you should be able to guess its effect. The perfect awakening potion grants its user a guaranteed chance of awakening!”

Ning Shi instantly understood the value of the perfect awakening potion. It was a potion that promises a 100% probability of awakening.

After taking it, an ordinary person would have a lifespan of 100 years and would be far away from the torture of diseases.

To a certain extent, the perfect awakening potion was like a different type of longevity medicine. It also had the ability to strengthen one’s physique and grants special abilities.

Yun Moxiang glanced at Ning Shi and continued, “As for the perfect awakening potion, the government currently has less than 1000 of them in stock. They are not for sale, and all of them are used to reward people who have made contributions to the country.”

“Your parents haven’t awakened yet, right? After using the potion, they can become awakeners too.”

Ning Shi did have this idea in mind.

His father, Ning Tao, was the vice president of a branch of a bank. In reality, he was just a major manager. He had to drink and attend social gatherings all day long, and his body had long been suffering from various problems. Not only did he have severe fatty liver, but his back often hurt.

His mother, Wang Yan, owned a small trading company that couldn’t make much money at all. She was busy every day and never had her meals on time. Her stomach always felt uncomfortable, and she took a lot of medicine.

If his parents became awakeners, all of these problems would be solved.

It was Ning Shi’s greatest wish for his parents to be healthy and live a long life.

Furthermore, he had not even succeeded in his awakening. With the perfect awakening potion, he could become an awakener as well.

I wonder what kind of special ability I’ll receive?

As Ning Shi was lost in his thoughts, Yun Moxiang’s voice continued, “As for the war insect armor, it comes from a special bug in the insect world. This insect only appears alone and would attack all the creatures around it, including other insect groups.

“Due to their aggressiveness, the officials named them war insect.”

“The insect has incredibly strong physical defense. It is not afraid of knives, cannons, fire, or electricity. It is literally invulnerable. When it first appeared, it caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers.”

“Fortunately, compared to their invincible body, spiritual power is their weakness, and spiritual awakeners of Tier 7 and above can cause them harm.”

Ning Shi could imagine the power of the war insects from her description. Even if they were vulnerable to spiritual power damage, it could only be caused by awakeners of Tier 7 and above.

Without a powerful spiritual-type awakener, the war insects were almost invincible.

This should be the trump card of the insect swarm.

Ning Shi immediately understood. “The war insect armor is made from the corpses of these war insects?”

Yun Moxiang took another sip of Sprite and nodded, “Yes, war insects are very dangerous and relatively rare. As such, the war insect armor is also extremely rare, and there are only three in the country at present. Out of all of the rewards from the country, this armor is the most valuable.”

“Not only could the war insect armor resist all kinds of physical attacks, but it was also very ductile. It would not be torn even if it was pulled and extended by dozens of times. Even if the armor was damaged, it had the ability to repair itself.”

“Wearing this armor is almost equivalent to having an extra life.”

This was the advantage of having the country’s support. There was a strong team to produce equipment for you, and there was logistics to provide you with potions.

If he put on the war insect armor and combined it with his super physique talent, wouldn’t he be able to move unhindered in the insect swarm?

“When will you give me the potions and armor?” Ning Shi could not help but ask.

“Originally, it was going to be delivered to you in the next two days.

“There’s an emergency today, and you need to make a trip to Central City. Minister Hu Changjun told me to let you go directly to Central City’s secret warehouse to collect it.”

“I have to train my apprentice these two days,” Ning Shi replied immediately. “I don’t have time to go to Central City. What’s the matter? Is it very important?”

Yun Moxiang took out her phone, pulled up a video, and handed it to Ning Shi.

Ning Shi took it and clicked play.

The video was of an overwhelming swarm of metal devouring insects.

Tall houses made of wood and bamboo were submerged by the insects. This was an island.

After devouring all the matter on the island, the swarm crossed the ocean and headed straight for the big city.

Seeing the fleeing crowd in the city, the colorful jeepneys, and the unique fusional cathedrals… Ning Shi instantly understood where the bugs were attacking.

“This is the Fei Li Island?” he asked in shock.

Yun Moxiang nodded with a serious expression.

Ning Shi instantly had a feeling that a great battle was approaching.

Fei Li Island was a small country in the sea south of the Yunmeng Kingdom, and by attacking the Fei Li island country, it meant that the insect swarm was approaching the Yunmeng Kingdom’s defense line!

“When did this happen? How’s the situation in the Fei Li island country?”

Yun Moxiang cleared her throat and answered.

“This happened an hour ago, and the news is about to be out. The situation in the Fei Li Island is not looking good, and they are currently unable to organize any effective defense.”

“A long time ago, Yunmeng Kingdom had already prepared for emergencies and set up a defense line at the nation’s border.”

“However, our national borders and coastlines are too long. It will take too much energy to build a complete defense, and there isn’t enough time either. The borders are just simple early warning and defense measures.”

“After the insect disaster in the Fei Li country, the southern military region had been strengthening the southern coastline defense while expanding the scale of the underground buildings.”

“The government is also considering moving the residents of Haiya Island inland.”

Yun Moxiang handed Ning Shi a set of information and said, “Consultant Ning, the Investigation Department will be under a lot of pressure in the near future. We might need your help as much as possible. This information was about the crime rates of various countries in the world after the Bei Shi Nation’s insect disaster.”

“In just a few days, the crime rate in MieIn Federation had increased by 150%. There were even many vicious crowd incidents of arson, murder, and plundering. As the world’s most powerful country, even the MieIn Federation found themselves in such a state. The situation in other parts of the world was even worse.”

“The governments of many small countries had already lost the ability to control their local areas.”

“Along with the insect disaster, various religious organisations ran rampant, most of which were evil cults.”

“The Pantheon of Gods that you’ve dealt with before now has tens of millions of followers.”

“In the past few days, a few other cults that we need to pay attention to have also emerged, such as the Glorious Doomsday, the Evil Spirit, and so on.”

“With Fei Li Island being attacked, after the news spread, the atmosphere of panic will likely spread again, and the crime rate and the problem of cults will definitely be more serious.”

Ning Shi nodded. Yunmeng Kingdom’s internal security was relatively better, but when the nest was overturned, no eggs would remain intact. Affected by the world’s turmoil, the number of criminal cases in the country would definitely increase as well.

“If the Investigation Department needs, I can help. I also wish to live in a stable environment. You want me to go to Central City because of a crime?”

The Central City should be the place with the most experts from the Investigation Department, so they shouldn’t require Ning Shi’s help.

As expected, Yun Moxiang denied Ning Shi’s guess.

“No, the Fei Li Island was attacked by a swarm of insects, and the authorities have brought forward many of their plans.”

“I’m inviting you to the Central City to participate in the principal’s meeting of the awakeners and discuss the details of the first Awakeners’ Campus Competition.”
