Chapter 66: Advanced Evolution Potion

In the next second, the four of them appeared in Dr.'s laboratory in the lower four levels.

Zhao Kuo felt his stomach churning violently, accompanied by intense dizziness. He couldn't hold it in and vomited on the spot.

The others weren't much better off, especially Zhou Xing, who had the weakest constitution among the four. After vomiting for a while, he passed out directly.

Dr., sitting on the experimental bench, slowly turned around. "The energy consumption from teleportation is too much for the body. Just sit and rest for a while. Did you bring back the item?"

Qiong En, who had the best constitution, was the first to recover.

He took out the small sphere wrapped in special material from his pocket and carefully handed it over.

"Mission accomplished. With this, we have the means to stand against the upper levels," Qiong En said slowly.

The means to stand against the upper levels? Zhao Kuo immediately felt something was off and looked up sharply. "This thing… isn't the material for making the advanced evolution potion, is it?"

Even if the advanced evolution potion could awaken talents, it couldn't be used to fight against the upper levels!

Dr. took the sphere and slowly stood up. "I'm sorry, young friend. We deceived you, but there was no other way. The upper levels' destruction of Eternal City has reached an unbearable point. If they refuse to change, they can only face annihilation."

As he spoke, Dr. took out a piece of parchment from a nearby drawer and handed it to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo hesitated for a moment but eventually took it.

**[Death's Roar]**​

**[???-grade item. The ultimate nuclear weapon, capable of bringing death to all things.]**​

[Required materials: Special Element x1, Steel Plate x10, Gunpowder x10, Uranium x1]​

Zhao Kuo's pupils constricted sharply. Who could have imagined that Dr. and Qiong En were planning to make a nuclear bomb!

Yes, a nuclear bomb!

It wasn't hard to imagine what would happen if a nuclear bomb were detonated in Eternal City.

"Capable of bringing death to all things."

Was this the confidence Dr. and Qiong En had to stand against the upper levels? Indeed, a nuclear bomb would give them ample confidence.

But Zhao Kuo quickly realized something.

"This is an item that belongs to us players. You can't use the blueprint to make it," Zhao Kuo said.

Qiong En nodded beside him. "Yes, that's exactly why we need to cooperate with you."

"Cooperate? To help you make this nuclear bomb? Don't delude yourselves. I would never do that!" As Zhao Kuo's voice fell, Xiao Bai instantly grew larger, threatening everyone around them.

A nuclear bomb—not only would the upper levels be unable to withstand its power, but even he and all the players would be wiped out.

If it were detonated, he might very well end up dead too.

Zhao Kuo had no habit of putting his life in someone else's hands.

But Dr. shook his head. "Young friend, you've misunderstood. The launcher for this missile will be in your hands. When to detonate it will be entirely up to you."

"Moreover, a Death's Roar that is never detonated is the best weapon, isn't it?"

Dr. looked into Zhao Kuo's eyes, and Zhao Kuo looked back at him.

He was judging the truthfulness of Dr.'s words. After all, a nuclear bomb wasn't like firearms—it had a massive destructive range.

Even with ​Super Potential Focus, he couldn't escape the blast radius of a nuclear bomb in just ten seconds. Add in the intense nuclear radiation, and Zhao Kuo couldn't think of any way to survive a nuclear strike.

So, the best option was to never let it see the light of day.

Seeming to sense Zhao Kuo's resolve, Qiong En quickly spoke up. "Brother Zhao Kuo, Dr. isn't lying to you. Once Death's Roar is made, it will be stored in Dr.'s laboratory, and the launcher will be under your control. We can swear to this, as long as you're willing to help us."

"Then why me? With this blueprint, any player could make it," Zhao Kuo asked. This was something he had been unable to figure out.

Dr. and Qiong En exchanged a glance. After a moment, Dr. spoke slowly.

"In the fifth great upheaval, many people died, including my family. At the time, I was too young to understand what had happened. Just when I was in despair, someone found me and gave me this blueprint, along with some information."

"That person… was you."

Dr.'s words were firm, as if he were stating a fact.

Zhao Kuo was momentarily stunned. He pointed at himself. "Me?"

Dr. nodded. "Yes, it was you. This item was given to me by you at that time."

As he spoke, Dr. took out a dice from his pocket. Almost instantly, Zhao Kuo recognized it—it was his Lucky Dice.

However, the Lucky Dice in Dr.'s hand seemed to have suffered severe damage, with a deep crack running through its center.

**[Broken Lucky Dice]**​

**[Scrap. It was once an extremely precious item, but now, it has become a piece of scrap, just like its former owner.]**​

Could there be a second Lucky Dice in this world? Or was what Dr. said true?

Looking at the broken Lucky Dice in front of him, Zhao Kuo frowned, his eyes flickering. To be honest, the amount of information he had just received was beyond his imagination.

Was the person who gave this broken Lucky Dice to Dr. really his future self?

But why would his future self return to the fifth upheaval? And why was the Lucky Dice broken? What exactly happened in the future?

Zhao Kuo stood there, trying to process all this information.

But Dr. didn't give him much time to think. Instead, he placed the blueprint and materials into Zhao Kuo's hands.

"The fate of the lower-level people is now in your hands. When the upheaval begins, no one can stay out of it. I think you came back to make up for something… or to find something."

Dr.'s eyes were profound as he spoke.

Zhao Kuo glanced at him and stored the materials and blueprint in his warehouse.

Indeed, only by handing this over to him could they truly feel at ease. As for whether or not to actually make it, that was something worth careful consideration.

Then, Dr. took out a tube of purple reagent from the experimental bench. "This is the advanced evolution potion we promised you. There's one for that girl too. You can take both."

**[Advanced Evolution Potion]**​

**[An alchemical potion made from special elements and rare substances. Permanently increases a player's attributes by 8-12 points at random and has a chance to break through the player's attribute tier limit.]**​

**[Has a chance to grant the player a green-grade talent.]**​

**[Each player can only consume one evolution potion.]**​

The potion was finally in his hands. Zhao Kuo looked at the two advanced evolution potions in his hand, but after the shock of the nuclear bomb, his mood was now much calmer.

Wait a minute, Tang Yingying didn't do anything. Why does she get one too?!
