Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Trembling

Qian Ying saw this and followed them inside.

Inside the dimly lit bedroom.

City Lord Qian Luo struggled to sit up, leaning against the headboard. He looked at Qian Wu and Qian Wei who had just entered and asked, coughing.

"What is it?"

"Father, this is the Genetic Potion Qian Wei found. Based on our preliminary analysis, this vial should be fine."

As Qian Wu spoke, he took out a specially sealed box and opened it, revealing a red Genetic Potion.

Qian Ying was also startled to hear this. He hadn’t expected Qian Wu and the others to have actually found a Genetic Potion.

Hearing this, a trace of excitement appeared on Qian Luo’s aged face.

"Let me see!"

"Yes!"

Qian Wu quickly handed the Genetic Potion to City Lord Qian Luo.

City Lord Qian Luo’s hands trembled slightly as he took the Genetic Potion.

He gently caressed the vial, his eyes filled with unconcealable joy.

This was the hope he had yearned for, finally right in front of him.

At that very moment, however, Qian Ying spoke up in a deep voice.

"Father, I know you’ve been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time. But I must still urge you to be cautious. Whether this Genetic Potion is good or bad has yet to be determined."

"Qian Ying, what do you mean by that?"

"I’m looking out for Father’s well-being. How can you be certain there won’t be any problems after injecting this Genetic Potion?"

"It’s simple. Didn’t we annex the natives? We can just have them take a look and identify it. They’re sure to recognize this thing."

Qian Wu retorted directly to Qian Ying.

"That could work."

After hearing Qian Wu, Qian Ying agreed that it was a viable option.

Hearing this, City Lord Qian Luo spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Then go and ask the Pomide Clan Leader to come here."

"Yes, Father!"

Qian Ying replied respectfully.

...

「A short while later.」

The Pomide Clan Leader, along with Legion Commander Rein, hurried toward the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Clan Leader, why would the City Lord suddenly summon us in the middle of the night?"

Legion Commander Rein asked, extremely puzzled.

"I don’t know, but for City Lord Qian Luo of Mountain City Mountain to finally agree to see us is a good thing. Maybe they’ve come to their senses and are willing to leave this world."

The Pomide Clan Leader’s face was filled with excitement.

He had finally been summoned by City Lord Qian Luo.

"That’s wonderful! Let’s hurry over."

Legion Commander Rein was also overjoyed to hear the Pomide Clan Leader’s words.

The two couldn’t help but quicken their pace.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion, where they saw Qian Ying, who had been waiting for some time.

"My apologies, you two, for making you come over so late at night."

Qian Ying said to them apologetically.

"It’s no trouble. And you are?"

the Pomide Clan Leader asked politely.

"I am Qian Ying. Please, come with me. The City Lord has been waiting for you."

Qian Ying made a welcoming gesture to the Pomide Clan Leader and Rein.

"Alright."

The Pomide Clan Leader and Legion Commander Rein then followed Qian Ying inside.

「A few minutes later.」

They arrived in the City Lord’s bedroom.

City Lord Qian Luo spoke warmly.

"Pomide Clan Leader, you’ve arrived."

"Lord City Lord, we finally get to meet you. We’ve always wanted to thank you in person. If it weren’t for you, we would have been wiped out long ago."

The Pomide Clan Leader adopted a very humble posture.

"Don’t say that. We are all family now."

City Lord Qian Luo was also very pleased with Pomide’s attitude.

"Of course. If I may ask, Lord City Lord, is there a reason for summoning us so late at night?"

"There is something I’d like to ask for your help with."

"Lord City Lord, you are too kind. Please, just give us your orders if you need anything."

Pomide looked both honored and overwhelmed.

"Good. Please take a look at this for me. Is this a Genetic Potion, and does it have any side effects?"

City Lord Qian Luo glanced at Qian Wu.

Qian Wu then handed the box in his hands to the Pomide Clan Leader.

The Pomide Clan Leader took the box, opened it, and startled at the sight of the Genetic Potion inside. His expression immediately turned very serious as he began to examine it carefully.

The hearts of City Lord Qian Luo and the others were in their throats, but they all waited patiently for the Pomide Clan Leader’s assessment.

「A few minutes later.」

The Pomide Clan Leader looked up at City Lord Qian Luo and said.

"This is a Genetic Potion!"

’This is great!’

Qian Wu and the others looked delighted.

City Lord Qian Luo immediately pressed.

"Then does this Genetic Potion have any side effects?"

The Pomide Clan Leader hesitated for a moment, looked at the decrepit City Lord Qian Luo, and then spoke.

"Lord City Lord, are you by any chance looking for a Type I All-Purpose Genetic Potion?"

"Yes!"

"Then I’m afraid you have the wrong one. While this is a Genetic Potion, it is not the standard Type I All-Purpose Genetic Potion. It’s a special Type I Biological Genetic Potion!"

"What is a special Type I Biological Genetic Potion?"

Hearing Pomide’s words, City Lord Qian Luo’s heart sank.

"The so-called Type I Biological Genetic Potion," the Pomide Clan Leader explained to City Lord Qian Luo, "was developed by the Aniska Empire for special combat personnel. After injection, it can significantly increase resistance to mental pollution."

"I see."

A flicker of disappointment crossed City Lord Qian Luo’s eyes.

Qian Wu, Qian Ying, and Qian Wei all fell silent. They hadn’t expected to have gotten the wrong Genetic Potion after all.

Just then, the Pomide Clan Leader handed the Genetic Potion back to Qian Wu and forced a smile.

"Lord City Lord Qian Luo, may I ask you something?"

"Of course, you may."

City Lord Qian Luo nodded slightly.

"Um, Lord City Lord... when are we leaving this world?"

The Pomide Clan Leader asked the question that concerned him most.

City Lord Qian Luo was taken aback for a moment, then replied very seriously.

"We can’t leave right now. We can only leave this world after we defeat its Blood Breath Beasts. Otherwise, even if we returned to our original world, we would just be waiting to die."

"You can’t be serious."

It was like a bolt from the blue for the Pomide Clan Leader and Rein. They were completely dumbfounded.

"My father is not deceiving you," Qian Ying further explained to the Pomide Clan Leader. "We can only leave after defeating the Blood Breath Beasts. Besides, our original world is highly polluted, and its energy resources are already depleted."

"We understand."

The Pomide Clan Leader replied, his mind in a daze.

"Alright. Thank you for making the trip here so late. I’m a little tired."

City Lord Qian Luo tactfully dismissed them.

"Then we will take our leave."

The Pomide Clan Leader and Rein then left.

Soon, only Qian Luo, Qian Ying, and the others remained in the bedroom.

Qian Wu said to Qian Luo guiltily.

"I’m sorry, Father, for letting you down."

"It’s alright. You’ve all done your best. If I truly can’t find one before I die, then perhaps that is just my fate."

City Lord Qian Luo replied hoarsely.

"That won’t happen, Father. We will definitely find one."

Qian Ying quickly reassured him.

"Let’s not talk about that. The most urgent task right now is to defend against the monster tide. Otherwise, nothing else matters."

City Lord Qian Luo still knew how to prioritize.

At this time, Qian Wu spoke respectfully to City Lord Qian Luo.

"Father, regarding this upcoming defensive battle, I believe we should make some adjustments."

"Speak!"
