Chapter 415 - Spares

After Zhao Meng entered the reward capsule, the scientist got to work under Jiang Jin-Yuan’s supervision. From the workstation, he erased the soul’s memory and all its varied resistance factors within the soul storage equipment. Once the soul had been processed into spirit essence, it was injected into Zhao Meng, laying within the capsule.
According to the scientist, this technology of spirit essence injection could only be performed once per person. Only one soul could be turned into spirit essence, and two souls couldn’t be mixed to form a spirit essence. This type of leveling up could only be done once; if it was done more than once, soul rupture might occur.
Just like all the the previous players who had entered the capsule, after being injected, Zhao Meng’s stats started to increase. After ten minutes, Zhao Meng leveled up from 6 to 7, and his stats continued to increase.
Standing right by the capsule, Liu Gan didn’t know how successful the experiment would be. Ultimately, the results would have to wait until Zhao Meng exited the capsule, and they knew if his body had been taken over.
The procedure of injecting spirit essence wasted a lot of time, so Liu Gan slept on the ergonomic chair in the meantime. After a little over four hours, the process was finally completed.
After leaving the capsule, Zhao Meng stared at his wristwatch, and it displayed level 10! According to the scientist’s explanation, Zhao Meng’s body could only handle one spirit essence. If they tried to forcefully inject another spirit essence into his body, his soul would rupture and his body would be severely damaged.
After exiting the capsule, Zhao Meng gave answers that matched exactly what he had told to Liu Gan previously. Even the Soul Detection Analyzer only picked up one soul within Zhao Meng’s body, which meant that the experiment was very successful.
When Zhan Nan Shan saw this scene, he started crying. He had lost another comrade-in-arms; he wouldn’t be able to finish his mission. Humanity had lost its last hope. On top of that, Liu Gan didn’t care for anything other than himself.
After Zhao Meng, it was Jiang Jin-Yuan’s turn to enter the capsule to receive a spirit essence injection. Liu Gan had his worries, since Jiang Jin-Yuan technically had been through a similar procedure, so his body might not be able to accept this sort of upgrade, or weird anomalies might occur. Ultimately, Jiang Jin-Yuan was also able to accept the blessings of the spirit essence. Not only was Jiang Jin-Yuan’s procedure completed faster, but also the effects were better than Zhao Meng’s. Everything about Jiang Jin-Yuan was slightly better than Zhao Meng, which was due to the higher innate aptitude of Jiang Jin-Yuan’s body.
Last, it was Liu Gan’s turn to enter into the capsule. However, this time it was different from when Zhan Nan Shan had set the trap. Under Yin He and Jiang Jin-Yuan’s close supervision, the scientist injected the spirit essence into Liu Gan.
“Spirit Essence can only be injected once. You can only use one person’s soul as an essence. Since your level is fairly high, the majority of the other souls wouldn’t be able to raise your level, so it would be a waste. The only remaining soul that will help you level up has to be the strongest soul. The soul of the Dragon Commander is the only suitable match,” the scientist informed him unflinchingly.
“No! You can’t do that! You are heartless! You are destroying humanity’s last hope!” Zhan Nan Shan started arguing with the scientist.
“Oh? Am I now? Now, can you tell me about this secret mission you are carrying out? What is the truth behind The Trembling World? If you tell me honestly, then maybe I will reconsider for the sake of all humanity. I might even let your Dragon Commander go, but if you insist on remaining silent about it, then you have no worth to me. I will use up all the spare souls,” Liu Gan threatened Zhan Nan Shan.
