At 12:30 noon, three people with supernatural powers who were seeking medical treatment woke up one after another. Xiao Mo signaled that the treatment was over.

The three of them probed their own energy nests in unison, and after a while, even the calmest one showed joy on his face.

Soon, five people came out of the quiet room.

Only Mr. Yang, Lei Bing, and Luosang were left in the reception room outside. Luosang explained that the president and his staff Feng Yang had something to do and left temporarily.

Xiao Mo expressed his understanding. President Zhou Fang can be said to be one of the busiest people in the country. The fact that he can spare an hour-long meeting time today shows that he attaches great importance to his performance.

When Mr. Yang saw the three superpowers coming out, he hurriedly went up to them and asked them about their situation. After asking a few questions, Mr. Yang's eyes became obviously wet.

Luosang came over and introduced to Xiao Mo: "The man in his thirties who is talking to Mr. Yang is named Yang Kai. He is a wood superpower and a researcher at the Academy of Sciences. He specializes in studying plants. Because of his knowledge and superpowers, he is now a researcher. The leader of new food. The other two are also well-known researchers in various fields. They are now in the National Evolution Group led by Mr. Yang. Their superpowers are very useful for their research projects. One is said to have the ability to use both eyes. Seeing more clearly than the highest microscope, one can taste with his own tongue whether most substances are toxic to the human body.”

"Yang Kai? Who is he and Mr. Yang?" Xiao Mo asked.

Luosang shook his head, "They have the same last name, but they have nothing to do with each other. They are just in the Academy of Sciences, and they are also moderates. In fact... "

Luosang hesitated for a moment, then said: "Actually, Mr. Yang has a son, his only son, and a researcher under him, named Yang Feifan. His condition is even worse, and his powers have almost disappeared. But this time Yang Mr. Yang discussed with the president the first list for you to treat, and Mr. Yang personally crossed out Yang Feifan's name. Well, everyone has heard about that. You treated Bao Yiyong and asked him for 10,000 conversion energy. This... Mr. Yang and The president doesn’t have much at his disposal, so he can only focus on important people first.”

Xiao Mo couldn't help but laugh when Luo Sang said something and glanced at him. Of course he understood what Luo Sang meant. But he was still very happy and proud that he could save three people with such abilities. At the same time, he felt better about Mr. Yang and Zhou Fang.

After Yang Lao initially understood that the three people's powers had been restored and there was a possibility of breakthrough, he cheered as excitedly as a child.

After a while, Mr. Yang came over and sat across from Xiao Mo and thanked him. Xiao Mo waved his hand. Yang Kai and other three superpowers also thanked Xiao Mo again, but their expressions were a bit complicated.

Mr. Yang coughed several times in a row and asked Luo Sang to push a cart with several boxes on it in a slightly embarrassed tone: "I know how valuable powers are to people with powers, especially Xiao Yang's powers are still so important. . You can make Xiao Yang and the others regain their lost powers. Not only them, but also the entire Academy of Sciences are grateful to you. I also understand that it is worth the effort to be able to do this. But... Well, we moderates are relatively poor, although We have the support of the president, but we really don’t have much conversion energy that we can save. There are 15,000 coins in total, which is already most of our inventory. We have to use the rest for daily turnover, and we really can’t afford more. But I can give you an IOU, don’t worry, I’m so old, there’s no way I can…”

"Mr. Yang, you don't have to say anything, I understand." Xiao Mo suddenly stood up, opened a box on the cart, and counted three hundred conversion energy in front of everyone.

Mr. Yang was okay, Yang Kai and others looked at him with some contempt, and Luo Sang was also a little disappointed.

But after Xiao Mo took out the three hundred conversion energy, he closed the only open box, pushed the car filled with conversion energy with both hands, pushed it back to Yang Lao's legs, and then returned to its original position.

Xue Lihong raised her eyebrows but didn't move. He knew his boss would do this.

Luosang clenched his fists, with real appreciation and smile in his eyes.

Lei Bing looked at the sky. He probably knew the pair of Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong best among all the people present. When Xue Lihong was aggressive towards the president, he knew this guy's plan. Xue Lihong was the one at the beginning. This was done to his boss Qiu Feng, but he had to admit that Xue Lihong's behavior was really effective.

Yang Lao was surprised and grabbed the armrest of the sofa, "What are you doing?"

Yang Kai and the other three superpower users were also surprised. They were indeed grateful to Xiao Mo, but the fact that he needed 10,000 conversion powers to save one person would inevitably give rise to the negative feeling that the other party was trying to enrich the country and take advantage of the situation. Now Xiao Mo's move suddenly made them feel guilty that they had wronged a good person.

Xiao Mo said sincerely: "We offered that price to Bao Yiyong because Bao Yiyong is not a toy. We just robbed the rich and gave to the poor. But you are all people who sincerely serve the country and the people. I, Xiao Mo, just need to change my ability." I can't do that kind of immoral thing like saving a few of you and poaching all your old friends. One hundred conversion coins per person can more than make up for the energy I consume, and three hundred coins for three people."

Mr. Yang smiled. The Academy of Sciences is not an ivory tower. What has he not seen at his age? He could tell at a glance whether Xiao Mo was speaking sincerely or just for the occasion.

Xiao Mo's temperament and conduct were really good, and he didn't miss him. Boss Yang breathed a sigh of relief and felt better about Xiao Mo, but he deliberately looked at Xue Lihong, "But Vice Captain Xue said..."

Xiao Mo held Xue Lihong's hand and smiled: "Please don't mind, he has a childish temper and is too nervous about me, just because he is afraid that I will suffer. I used to do things very stupidly. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be alive now." "

Xiao Mo said and wiped the bridge of his nose sheepishly.

Xue Lihong snorted coldly, but did not refute Xiao Mo's decision. She only pinched his ears punitively.

When Yang Kai and the other three saw such an intimate gesture between the two, they suddenly realized that they had that kind of relationship.

Mr. Yang pointed at Xue Lihong and laughed. How bad his impression of Xue Lihong was before, now he has a good impression of him. Although this child is a little harsh on others, it is all to protect his lover. And he didn't really stop Xiao Mo from returning the conversion energy. Just seeing that he didn't even take a glance at so many conversion energy, he knew that this person was not greedy in nature.

Nowadays, one person can produce one alloy particle a week. Depending on various factors such as the body's constitution and the absorption of nutrients, each alloy particle also has different energy levels. However, on average, almost every person can produce one alloy particle per month. Four standard alloy particles are produced.

In order to facilitate the distinction, Bao Yiyong calls ordinary people who cannot produce alloy particles old humans, and those who can produce alloy particles are called new humans. People with special abilities are at the top level higher than the two, and are also classified as into the new humanity.

Since the base of the old humans is not small, in order to level the status and economic gap between them and the new humans, under the forcible intervention of the President and the Academy of Sciences headed by Mr. Yang, the value of a standard alloy particle was reduced to In the past, the purchasing power was about the same as one hundred yuan.

In other words, even if you can produce alloy particles, you can still get a minimum living allowance of 400 yuan a month.

One conversion energy is equivalent to one hundred standard alloy particles, and its purchasing power when converted into money is approximately ten thousand yuan.

From this, 10,000 pieces of conversion energy are equivalent to 100 million yuan. Such a huge amount of money can only treat one person. This is why Mr. Yang and President previously felt that Xuelihong's price was too excessive.

But now a huge amount of money equivalent to 150 million in the past is sitting there, but no one even takes a look at it. What does this mean

Xiao Mo didn't want Mr. Yang and others to misunderstand Xue Lihong, so he added with a slightly red face: "And we also have some selfish motives for doing this. If word spreads, Xiaohong dares to offer such a price in front of the president and you, Mr. , in the future, people with super powers such as Bao Yiyong and Councilor Ji Ke or those who have done all kinds of bad things will come to our door, we will have an excuse to say no, right? Of course, if the person who comes is really willing to spend 10,000 conversion energy, then let’s talk about it. However, Yang Boss, you have to keep this matter secret for us. Our scavenging team is also quite poor. If there is someone with deep pockets, we would like to earn more."

Hearing this, everyone laughed together, and the atmosphere in the reception room suddenly became extremely good. Mr. Yang had always had a good impression of Xiao Mo, but now he looked at him as if he were his own junior.

"Okay, okay, I know that the country must have hope when I see you. No matter how powerful and capable Bao Yiyong and Ji Ke are, they can't even try to take this country away!" Mr. Yang's eyes were moist again. This is a very important person. An old man who is easily impressed.

The atmosphere in the reception room became harmonious, and Mr. Yang became more cordial when talking to Xiao Mo. He no longer talked about the future of the country, the people, and mankind.

Lei Bing saw these changes from beginning to end and gave Xue Lihong a knowing look.

Xue Lihong inserted her fingers into her boss's short hair, and there seemed to be no one else in her eyes except Xiao Mo.

Lei Bing groaned. If he hadn't known Xiao Mo as a person, he would have really thought that the two of them had agreed to act, but he knew that what Xue Lihong said before was not acting, and what Xiao Mo did and said now was also out of his true intentions. . To put it bluntly, Xue Lihong has a terrible grasp of Xiao Mo's mentality and thoughts. He knows what Xiao Mo will do, and he also knows that the worse his attitude is in the front, the worse Xiao Mo's behavior will be later. impressive.

If Xiao Mo had said from the beginning that he would only charge 100 conversion energy to save people, even if he repeatedly stated that it was for the country, even if the president and Mr. Yang would be grateful to Xiao Mo, they would definitely not be as grateful as they are now.

Moreover, Xue Lihong’s opening words clearly told the president and others that they were not the kind of fools who would harm themselves and others. Maybe the captain of the scavenging team is a bit of a saint, but the vice-captain is definitely not.

With this foreshadowing, in the future, whether it is the president or the Academy of Sciences, if they want to do something with Xiao Mo, they will never dare to act like it's natural. After all, Xue Lihong has told them clearly: he is very difficult to talk to. He can endure it for the sake of his boss, but if his bottom line is exceeded, he may fall out at any time.

However, Xue Lihong's doing this is equivalent to concentrating all the hatred points on herself and giving all the gratitude points to Xiao Mo. From now on, even if Xiao Mo rejects others, others will only think that Xue Lihong is not allowing it behind his back, and they will also hate Xue Lihong.

Lei Bing lamented that it was worthwhile for Boss Xiao to have such a partner. If it were him, he might not be able to do this.

Of course, Colonel Lei would never admit that he admired Comrade Xiaohong a little bit, and he would never want to have a partner like Xue Lihong. Boss Xiao was able to win such wholehearted treatment from Xue Lihong at the cost of all his body, mind and freedom. Even a fool can see how strong Xue Lihong's desire for control is. An ordinary person might have suffocated under his terrible desire for control.

There was still some time before the dinner in the evening, and Xiao Mo promised to go to the Academy of Sciences to cooperate with them in doing some research after lunch.

Mr. Yang was moved again and actually said that you guys should have a good rest when you just arrived, and there was no rush to cooperate with the research.

Yang Kai and the other three people also have the same opinion. They are all superpowers and know more about the harm that using a large amount of energy at one time can cause to the body. In their view, no matter how incredible Xiao Mo's abilities are, they still need energy to support them. And being able to help the three of them completely recover at once also gives them the possibility of breakthroughs in their abilities, the consumption of it can be imagined. And know.

Even the three of them, including Mr. Yang, felt that three hundred conversion energy could not make up for Xiao Mo's loss of energy. Xiao Mo would have suffered a huge loss by collecting the three hundred conversion energy!

If it were before the big green light point entered Xiao Mo's body, he really wouldn't be able to repair three people so easily. In the past, even if he only repaired one of them, he would have needed at least one secondary energy crystal to supplement it.

According to the system's calculation of conversion energy, the total energy of one hundred conversion energy is almost equivalent to one secondary energy crystal. But in terms of absorption, not to mention how troublesome it is to absorb them one by one, just converting the impurities contained in the energy makes it impossible for the absorber to absorb them 100%.

In other words, if an exchange mechanism is really established, it would take almost two hundred conversion energy to exchange for one secondary energy crystal.

So from this point of view, Yang Lao and others' speculation was correct. Xiao Mo saved three people and only received 300, which was a big loss.

But Xiao Mo has a system. He can make the system recycle the converted energy and exchange it for energy crystals for him. With the exchange fee, the ratio can be almost 120:1.

Having said that, Xiao Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Mr. Yang asking him to rest first and walk around the capital for a few days. Now his mind is full of the coming big storm, how can he think about resting and playing

If they can get a helicopter tonight, maybe they will rush back to Zhongshan Base tonight.

But seeing as Mr. Yang and the President had such great expectations for his powers, it was hard for him to just leave without leaving anything behind.

Therefore, Xiao Mo politely rejected Mr. Yang's kindness, saying that he was afraid of changes, especially when Bao Yiyong and Councilor Ji Ke were still watching.

"Isn't it said that the research of the moderates is already later than that of the radicals? If my blood and body cells can be of some use to your research direction, then we can start early."

What else can Mr. Yang say about this? He didn't say anything, but he had already made up his mind to protect Xiao Mo with the highest force! Of course, you have to pay what you deserve. Don't let people say they are dedicated, and they are really shameless.

Afterwards, Xiao Mo stayed at the Academy of Sciences after lunch until half an hour before the dinner was about to start.

Yang Lao and others were grateful to Xiao Mo. They suspended all the more exciting experimental projects they had prepared. They only conducted a detailed physical examination on Xiao Mo and drew about 50 ml of blood.

Xiao Mo originally only planned to donate blood. He was worried whether the green light spot would be detected, but His Majesty the System came out to laugh at him. He took this opportunity to ask about the big storm in the system, but His Majesty the system was silent again.

During this period, in order to do research, Xiao Mo also attached a lot of sensors to his body and repaired two people with disappeared powers in front of all the researchers. One of them was Mr. Yang's only son, Yang Feifan.

After being repaired by Xiao Mo, the two of them, like the previous three, not only recovered their powers, but after preliminary physical examination, it was found that all their body organs were healthier and more energetic than before the problem!

Not to mention how excited and grateful the two people were to Xiao Mo, but under the detection of precision instruments, the energy value Xiao Mo consumed to repair one person also had a relatively accurate numerical range.

Mr. Yang held the data sheet, his hands shaking a little.

Yang Kai also saw the data printed on the list and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Does Captain Xiao know that he is really losing money by charging 100 conversion energy?"

Hearing this, Mr. Yang sighed: "Do you really think I don't know? Which superpower person doesn't know how much he consumes? No wonder he and Bao Yiyong asked for 10,000 conversion energy. No wonder Vice Captain Xue looked so ugly. , I am truly benevolent and righteous!"

Other researchers listened to Er Yang's conversation and came over to look at the data. They couldn't help but be surprised after reading it.

One of the older researchers said thoughtfully: "No wonder he can do things that other healers can't do. Just look at the energy he consumes to treat one person. It turned out to be a fourth-level psychic." That’s more than twenty times the amount of energy consumed in the whole body! If calculated based on the fact that the energy that a fourth-level superpower can emit from the whole body is about 100 conversion energy, then Captain Xiao needs to consume more than 2,000 energy for each person he saves. Conversion energy.”

To save one person, the cost would be more than 2,000, so Xiao Mo would have to collect at least 3,000 conversion energy to not lose money.

Yang Lao, Yang Kai and others were all speechless. After the other researchers learned about Xiao Mo's previous behavior, it was needless to say that they had a good impression and admiration for him.

In fact, this is a beautiful misunderstanding.

If Xiao Mo hadn't been in a thick fog or been touched by a light point, Xiao Mo would only need two secondary energy crystals at most to repair a dying person, and usually one would be enough. Chang'e's situation was so bad at the time. Regardless of the fact that he had reached his personal limit at that time, he only used five secondary energy crystals, which converted into conversion energy was only five or six hundred.

Xiao Mo before being invaded by green light points could not completely eradicate the physical effects of the dense fog as he does now. Similarly, if Mr. Yang and the others could detect Xiao Mo's energy consumption when he was repairing the body that was about to explode, they would find that he The fluctuations in energy value at that time would be even more terrifying, already exceeding 10,000 pieces of conversion energy.

In the final analysis, dense fog attack syndrome is just a special case. They have problems because their bodies contain too much energy, which the body cannot bear and control. If we want to repair them, we can only use more energy to suppress, guide and recycle, or even help. They digest part of it.

Originally, such a misunderstanding, as long as Xiao Mo stayed in the capital for a few more days and took a few more tests, the truth would soon be exposed. But things tend to be troublesome, and natural disasters come one after another. After that, this misunderstanding that was too beautiful for Xiao Mo lasted for a long time.

At six o'clock in the evening, a grand welcome party began for the superpowers who had recently joined the capital government.

At half past five, most of the guests had arrived early.

But no important figures such as the captains of the four major mercenary teams showed up.

It wasn't until 17:45 that the really important guests started to show up.

At six o'clock sharp, the captains of the four major mercenary teams each appeared at the door of the banquet hall with some of their cronies as agreed.

At this time, Xiao Mo had just arrived at the parking lot in the Academy of Sciences vehicle.

Lei Bing turned his head from the assistant seat and reminded the two people in the back seat: "Your reputation, I mean Captain Xiao's reputation has spread in the ears of some people in the capital, but Captain Xiao has not decided to join a certain camp yet, so You can imagine how many people will come to you later."

Luosang, who was acting as the driver, also smiled in front and said: "It's okay if we just win over Captain Xiao, but there are many people who have whimsical ideas and can win the wolf with nothing. When those people think about it, instead of spending a lot of money to win over, they may not be able to win over. , it would be more cost-effective to snatch people directly into your own hands and control them."

Xiao Mo was amused, "How are they going to control me? If it's not good for me, won't they be afraid that I won't work hard enough?"

Luosang laughed, "Of course they have their own ways of controlling people. Captain Xiao, your personal public information was sold at a high price in the capital as early as last night. They already know that you not only have partners, but also many family members, and you are interested in certain people." As far as the organization is concerned, it is not difficult to go to other bases to capture some ordinary people or even people with super powers. When they have your family in their hands, will you be obedient or disobedient, Captain Xiao? And as long as Captain Xiao agrees to join an organization, Then no matter how much the government and military care about Captain Xiao, they still have to consider your personal wishes."

Lei Binghehe, are you looking down on the strength of their Zhongshan Base and the scavenging team? Why don't some people think about it, with Xiao Mo's precious and important ability, how dare he enter the capital with just one person

Luosang had actually thought of this a long time ago. He had made insinuations about Lei Bing several times and wanted to know Xue Lihong's ability and level, but the cunning bastard refused to tell him.

"So, in order to determine whether Captain Xiao is really that easy to capture, someone will definitely take action against the bodyguards around Captain Xiao tonight." Luosang said this, specifically observing Xue Lihong's expression in the rearview mirror.

Xue Lihong is leaning on his boss, playing video games
