Chapter 51: I Don't Want to Be a Flower Vase

Upon returning to the base, Leng Yuwei felt refreshed. She thought there was no way to escape from Base City, facing such a powerful force with only second-tier Transcendent strength.

Leng Yuwei had always known that in this world, only strength held sway. This time, she truly understood that fact.

Without Su Chen, they would never have left Base City. Su Chen was the one with the most powerful strength.

Not only did he possess formidable strength himself, but his subordinates also had a powerful base, which gave him the confidence to face Base City. Even the soldiers, each a Transcendent, shocked Leng Yuwei.

Upon returning to the base, Luo Hang and Zhang Tao obediently returned to their own living quarters. There were many places they couldn't access in this area, as it was filled with Su Chen's buildings.

But Leng Yuwei did not return. She looked at Su Chen without saying a word.

Su Chen cleared his throat. "What's up?"

"Mm." Leng Yuwei nodded.

"Okay, let's go to the command room and talk."

The two sat down separately, and soon, a soldier brought some dishes to them. Su Chen had spent a lot of brainpower on this plan, and now he was hungry.

"Eat up. My subordinates are all-around talents, and they're skilled at cooking. The food is definitely more delicious than what you've eaten before." Su Chen had tasted his subordinates' cooking before and sincerely believed that even if they weren't soldiers, they could be five-star chefs.

In every aspect, the Red Alert soldiers were built to exceptionally high standards. They had almost no weaknesses, except one: they were all men and couldn't give birth.

Leng Yuwei didn't feel like eating. Her eyes had been fixed on Su Chen from the beginning, and she said, "I don't want to be a flower vase."

Su Chen stopped eating and wiped oil stains from his mouth. He looked at Leng Yuwei seriously. "Are you serious?"

"I've always been serious."

Su Chen didn't say anything and stared at Leng Yuwei for a few seconds before saying, "Is being a flower vase not pleasant? You know I'm willing to save you, so I won't let you die easily. Under my protection, you don't have to live like you used to."

"I know."

Leng Yuwei knew that. Having been rescued by Su Chen last time, and now seeing that Su Chen was willing to come to such lengths to take them out, even mobilizing his army, how could she not understand?

But that wasn't the life Leng Yuwei wanted. She was Leng Yuwei, also known as Red Rose, not just a self-proclaimed name, but a title given to her by others.

Being a flower vase was impossible!

Su Chen saw the fighting spirit in Leng Yuwei's eyes. This woman had never thought of becoming a flower vase under his protection.

"Since you have this drive, I'll give you a chance." Su Chen smiled. "About 50 kilometers away from the base, there's a group of around 100 first-tier Mutant Beasts, with a second-tier Mutant Beast as their leader. I want you to go there alone and care for the entire Mutant Beast group!"

"This will make me stronger?" Leng Yuwei's lips curved into a beautiful arc.

"You're my person. As long as you show your value, I won't be stingy. I have plenty of energy crystals here." Su Chen leaned back slightly, adopting a big shot's posture.

"Okay, it's settled now." Leng Yuwei smiled and ate heartily in front of Su Chen. She was hungry too.

Su Chen watched Leng Yuwei eat silently, not saying a word. Although he said that, he would never let Leng Yuwei die there.

"Am I also a face-con?" Su Chen was puzzled.

Admittedly, Leng Yuwei was very beautiful, but after being influenced by a certain action movie for over ten years, he had seen all kinds of beauties. He softened his heart here.

In fact, with Su Chen's current strength, even if he forced Leng Yuwei to become a flower vase, she wouldn't be able to resist.

"Forget it, let's consider it an honorable deed on my part."

The next day, Leng Yuwei left the base alone, but didn't realize Su Yi was following her.

How could Su Chen be certain that she would venture alone to do such a dangerous thing? Leng Yuwei presently had second-tier late-stage strength, and facing a group of over a hundred first-tier Mutant Beasts, with a second-tier Mutant Beast as their leader, was too dangerous.

As for Luo Hang and Zhang Tao, Su Chen had only one command for them: follow the Red Alert soldiers out to gain experience, hunt Mutant Beasts, and improve their strength.

He didn't keep useless people here!

"Phew, there shouldn't be anything happening in the short term. I need to quickly reach level 6 authority during this time, so that my subordinates' maximum combat power can continue to improve."

At this moment, the voice of the long-unseen System sounded, "Master, to reach level 6 authority, in addition to meeting energy requirements, you also need to complete a mission. Starting at level 6, you will need to complete a mission for each subsequent authority increase."

"What? There's still a mission? Come here, I'll give you another chance to reorganize your language!" Su Chen gritted his teeth.

The system remained silent, and Su Chen couldn't hit it. He could only call out a few times in frustration.

"Never mind, it's just a task. Is there any energy reward?" Su Chen didn't forget the last energy reward, which was 100,000.

"Master, there is no reward for this kind of task."

Su Chen silently raised his middle finger. If there is no reward, why should I complete the task?

Even without receiving a reward for his work, Su Chen could see that his energy was growing rapidly. He believed that it wouldn't be long before he could reach level 6 authority.

Ju Ling's development was fast. Because they didn't start from scratch, they had their base as a foundation. They didn't have to worry about energy lack at the beginning. According to Ju Ling, they had already built 50 Space-time mining vehicles and were fully engaged in mining iron ore. The energy points were increasing rapidly.

As long as there is an energy supply, these space-time mining vehicles don't need to rest for more than 4 hours a day. They just need to keep mining.

Aside from the mining vehicles, all of the buildings have been built there as well. At present, they have no less defensive power than here, with Grizzly tanks, armed helicopters, etc. In terms of strength, they are very strong.

Moreover, Ju Ling also used the same method to force a car from a Gathering Place nearby and let a soldier drive it. This helped light up the map. Now, a large bright area appeared on Su Chen's interface.

"Hmm, what is this?"
