A small round table and several round stools were set up inside the pavilion.
"Captains, please have a seat!" Ren Yuanyang said hospitably. "Jiamei, go heat up the food and bring it out."
Lu Jiamei hesitated for a moment before nodding.
’They’re already on our speedboat, and we’re surrounded by plant-based weapons. Ren Yuanyang should be safe.’
"Brother Yang, didn’t you want to see my Electric-Type Superpower? May I demonstrate it right here?" Wang Jun asked, getting straight to the point after sitting down.
Ren Yuanyang nodded. "Of course!"
Wang Jun extended his palm, and in an instant, a multitude of blue electric arcs danced between his fingers.
"Stop!" Lu Jiamei, who was walking out with a dish, became instantly tense upon seeing Wang Jun use his Superpower.
Ren Yuanyang immediately stopped her. "Don’t be nervous. I asked Captain Wang to demonstrate his Electric-Type Superpower."
Lu Jiamei froze for a second, then said sheepishly, "My apologies, Captain Wang. That was reckless of me."
Wang Jun dispersed the arcs on his hand and replied with a smile, "It’s fine. No harm done."
Meanwhile, the guards on the other speedboat also grew tense seeing Wang Jun use his Superpower. However, they didn’t act rashly, merely staring from a distance. After all, Ren Yuanyang’s side had made no hostile moves.
Ren Yuanyang had chosen the deck as the meeting spot precisely to put the other party’s guards at ease.
"Do I need to continue the demonstration?" Wang Jun asked, looking at Ren Yuanyang.
"That won’t be necessary. Just seeing it once is enough," Ren Yuanyang said, shaking his head. "Captain Wang, you truly are lucky to have awakened such a special Superpower Type!"
Just as Wang Jun was demonstrating his Superpower, Ren Yuanyang had deliberately moved closer to observe the electric arcs from less than a meter away. His Mental Energy had instantly captured the Electric-Type elements. His objective was achieved.
As long as he had come into contact with the Electric-Type elements, he could replicate them with his own Chaos Element.
Now, in addition to the basic Five Elements, Ren Yuanyang could wield another Superpower: Electric-Type.
Wang Jun waved his hand dismissively. "I only managed to awaken because of your base’s Evolution Potion!"
"That’s only because you have the right constitution. Not everyone at your base can awaken a Superpower," Ren Yuanyang replied, shaking his head. "If any other Evolvers with special Superpower Types appear at your base, don’t forget to let me know. I’d like to broaden my horizons!"
No one would ever complain about mastering too many Superpower Types, and Ren Yuanyang naturally hoped to have as many as possible.
However, all the members of the Peach Blossom Base had already awakened without any special types appearing. The Aircraft Carrier Base, on the other hand, had a large population and immense potential.
Wang Jun was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t expected Ren Yuanyang to make such a request. He then smiled and agreed, "No problem. The moment another special Superpower Type appears, I’ll be sure to notify you immediately."
"Then I thank you," Ren Yuanyang said, cupping his hands in a gesture of thanks.
At that moment, Lu Jiamei finished heating all the dishes and brought them to the table.
"Leader, the food is all heated. Shall we begin now?" Lu Jiamei asked respectfully.
"Yes, uncover everything. Let Captain Wang and Captain Long have a taste of our base’s chef’s cooking," Ren Yuanyang said with a slight nod.
Lu Jiamei immediately removed the covers from all the dishes, and a rich aroma instantly wafted through the air.
"That smells amazing! Is this chicken?" Long Zhan’s eyes widened in surprise.
Ren Yuanyang opened a bottle of baijiu, poured a cup for each of them, and replied with a smile, "I didn’t realize Captain Long was such a connoisseur of food! You guessed it was chicken right away."
Hearing Ren Yuanyang confirm it, Wang Jun frowned slightly. "The two chicks we gave you last time shouldn’t be fully grown yet, right? Did you just kill and eat them?"
Ren Yuanyang smiled faintly and raised his cup. "Didn’t this trade just get us six more?"
Wang Jun paused, then gave a wry smile. "But you can’t sustain that by eating them at this rate, can you?"
"Don’t worry. Remember what I told you before? Our base’s animal husbandry techniques are quite decent," Ren Yuanyang replied.
Wang Jun was taken aback again, then nodded.
’As the leader of a base, Ren Yuanyang wouldn’t be so short-sighted. If they dare to eat them like this, they must have a plan.’
Wang Jun and Long Zhan raised their cups, clinked them against Ren Yuanyang’s, and drained them in one go.
"Come, try some of this braised chicken with potatoes," Ren Yuanyang invited.
Wang Jun and Long Zhan didn’t stand on ceremony, picking up their chopsticks and grabbing a piece of chicken.
When they got a clear look at the size of the chicken pieces they had picked up, they both froze.
Judging by the size of the meat on their chopsticks, this chicken must have been fully grown.
But it had only been about half a month since they had traded the chicks to the Peach Blossom Base.
It couldn’t possibly grow this big even in a month. Even chicks pumped with hormones at unscrupulous factory farms need nearly forty days before they’re ready for market.
"Brother Yang, you didn’t feed these chicks a ton of hormones, did you?" Long Zhan asked bluntly.
Ren Yuanyang faltered for a moment, then laughed. "Rest assured, our base would never use any hormones. More importantly, we don’t have any to begin with."
"If they aren’t eating hormones, how could they possibly grow so fast?" Long Zhan asked, his face a mask of disbelief.
"That’s our special technique," Ren Yuanyang said with a mysterious smile. "And besides, this isn’t the first time we’ve eaten chicken."
Hearing this, Wang Jun and Long Zhan were stunned once more.
’It isn’t their first time. That means the breeding cycle for the chickens at Taoyuan Base is even shorter!’
"But... how is that possible?" Wang Jun asked, looking at Ren Yuanyang in shock.
"Four months ago, would you have ever imagined that rainfall could flood the entire Blue Star?" Ren Yuanyang retorted.
Wang Jun paused, then shook his head decisively.
