After becoming an evolver, one could feel the power surging within.
Feng Qing's gaze towards Wang Yu also changed noticeably.
Wang Yu smiled slightly and took out another 100 insect crystals.
"Continue, consume them all."
Feng Qing's mouth dropped open in surprise as she looked at the table full of beautiful crystal cores, unsure what to do.
"Wait a moment!" Chu Jiayu spoke up, interrupting. "My mother just became an evolver. Is it really appropriate for her to try to advance again so soon?"
Hearing this, Feng Qing also snapped out of her excitement and calmed down a little.
She looked at Wang Yu, who merely smiled and said, "This isn't some kind of cultivation with stages to follow sequentially. There's no such thing as needing to progress step by step."
"Becoming an evolver is simple, and for an evolver to constantly advance is also simple. You just need sufficient resources."
"It's like your mother making money. As long as you have enough capital, you can keep climbing higher."
"Huge amounts of wealth can allow you to surpass many people in an instant, to ascend to a higher status, isn't that right?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiayu fell silent.
Feng Qing also fell into thought.
Although human society had various rules and orders, at its core, it was still a jungle law of the survival of the fittest.
That's right, you couldn't get fat with one bite.
But as long as you had the resources, you could become fat faster than others.
Even faster than everyone else, becoming the first fat person in this world!
And the first to move, moves all the way.
The resources you consumed before others would be converted into your advantage.
With more advantages than others, others couldn't compete with you.
Most things in this world aren't complicated. The reason you don't have an advantage might simply be that you haven't consumed those resources before others.
Or rather, you don't even have the resources.
It's cruel, but it's real, just like this post-apocalyptic world.
"Eat them, nothing will happen. After eating these, you'll be level 2."
Feng Qing no longer hesitated and obediently continued to consume the insect crystals.
With the previous experience, Chu Jiayu was no longer as nervous.
She turned to look at Wang Yu and asked, "You..."
"Hmm?"
Wang Yu raised an eyebrow. Chu Jiayu changed her words, "Master, could you tell me what level you are?"
Wang Yu revealed a meaningful smile, "Level 3."
Chu Jiayu was a little surprised, but it seemed reasonable when she thought about it.
Since he could casually produce over 100 insect crystals and easily help her mother advance to level 2, he must be more than level 2 himself.
"Then, Master, are there any people currently higher than your level?"
Wang Yu smiled, "What do you think?"
Chu Jiayu pursed her lips and stopped asking.
This guy, why did she find him so annoying...
Before long, Feng Qing successfully advanced to level 2. This time, her expression was even more extraordinary, her face filled with disbelief.
Wang Yu took a steel pipe from his storage ring and handed it to her. "Try your strength, bend it."
Feng Qing nodded heavily and confidently took the steel pipe.
Although this steel pipe wasn't very thick, it was solid, and definitely not something a normal human could bend.
Even a gym enthusiast who lifted weights wouldn't be able to do it.
However, in Feng Qing's hands, this steel pipe was like an ordinary plastic clothes hanger; she bent it with ease!
It was too easy!
This result not only shocked Chu Jiayu standing by but also surprised Feng Qing herself.
Although after advancing, she felt her strength had increased many times over.
She was confident she could bend such a steel pipe.
But she never expected it to be so effortless!
Wang Yu spoke at the right time, "After becoming an evolver, your physique increased by 3 times. Upon advancing to level 2, your physique will increase by another 4 times. This means, compared to your previous self, you are now 12 times stronger!"
"So, don't be too surprised by this strength. Almost all level 2 evolvers can possess a strength of thousands of pounds."
As expected of a strong woman, Feng Qing's expression quickly returned to normal after hearing Wang Yu's words.
Only Chu Jiayu remained somewhat stunned.
"Alright, I'm leaving now. You two continue to rest. If you need anything, you can come find me."
When she came to her senses, Wang Yu was already about to leave.
She hurriedly called out to Wang Yu, "Master, that, that..."
Wang Yu knew what she wanted to say and asked with a smile, "Which one? Why are you stuttering? Could it be..."
"Uncomfortable? Sick? Why didn't you say so? Could it be that you also want over 100 insect crystals?!"
Chu Jiayu's face turned red. She was just about to ask Wang Yu for some insect crystals.
But with Wang Yu saying this, how could she bring herself to ask.
Wang Yu couldn't help but find her shy appearance amusing.
He knew very well that Chu Jiayu wanted insect crystals. Making Feng Qing test her strength earlier was to entice Chu Jiayu.
Giving Feng Qing insect crystals was just a way to win her over. Although she had already recognized Wang Yu as her master.
It wouldn't be so easy to make her genuinely and wholeheartedly work for him.
So Wang Yu gave her a small taste first, making her devoted to following him.
As for Chu Jiayu, he was just playing with her.
This little girl didn't fully trust him yet, so there was no question of her loyalty.
Therefore, he had to constantly show her the benefits of following him, making her interested.
At the same time, he needed to temper her personality. Even if not towards others, at least in front of him, he wanted her to become obedient.
Ideally, she should become dependent on him.
Women are very emotional. Once they become dependent on a man, they generally find it difficult to leave him.
Chu Jiayu fidgeted for a long time but still couldn't bring herself to speak.
She wasn't familiar with Wang Yu, her personality was rather proud and tsundere, and Wang Yu had just scolded her a few times.
How could she shamelessly ask for over a hundred insect crystals!
"Are you going to say it or not? If not, I'll be leaving."
Wang Yu teased her again.
But Chu Jiayu still found it difficult to speak, and finally seemed to get angry.
She simply glared at Wang Yu, "Why can't I have it?!"
Wang Yu pretended to be incredulous, "Hey, no way, what makes you think you deserve it?"
"Your mother is a female entrepreneur, a capable person, who can work for me and give me returns."
"And you? You're just a little maid, what use are you?"
Chu Jiayu clenched her skirt hem with her small hands and stammered, "I, I..."
Wang Yu didn't give her time and continued, "Not only are you useless, but you also eat my food and wear my clothes, and you still give me a bad attitude. Tell me, why should I give you insect crystals?"
Chu Jiayu's face turned even uglier, her pretty face flushing a shade of liver-red.
It felt like smoke was about to billow from her little head.
Wang Yu chuckled softly and turned to walk out of the dormitory.
As soon as Wang Yu left, Chu Jiayu stomped her feet in anger.
"Mom! Look at him, he's so stingy!"
Feng Qing took Chu Jiayu's fair and tender little hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, as long as you're obedient, Master will definitely let you become an evolver in the future."
"Mom! Why are you still speaking up for him? Are you on his side or mine!?"
Feng Qing chuckled, "Of course, I'm on your side."
She pulled Chu Jiayu into her embrace, her proud chest creating a stark contrast with her daughter's.
Feng Qing stroked her daughter's smooth back, "Jiayu, you must listen to your mother. In the future, you must never make Master unhappy! Only by following Master can we live well."
Chu Jiayu's expression was a little complicated.
After a long pause, she nodded, "I understand, Mom."
