Manager Hanna's suggestion was absolutely golden, completely devoid of any selfish motives.
She had long noticed, others' covetous and greedy eyes on this Third Rank Human Order potion, probably already scheming on how to get their hands on this Psychic Power Potion.
The hearts of Jianghu are malicious, not everyone is like Thunder Mage God Kanje who is willing to support a young junior upon their first meeting, nor is there anyone who could restrain their greed like Hanna Gagel and hand over the potion in their possession to someone else.
The usual course of action is to unscrew the cap, tip one's head back, and drink it all down, then clap your hands, and it's gone!
In this age of great contention, not contend?
If you don't contend, might as well die!
Why all the fuss!
In the world of Ability Users, resources are limited, and the competition for them is even fiercer.
"Alright then!"
Chen Fei also noticed the unusual stares around him.
The leader of the reinforcements, Thunder Mage God Kanje silently sized him up, very curious about what this young man would do.
At his level of Rank, a mere Third Rank Human Order Psychic Power Potion had become something he could take or leave, hence he could freely gift it to others.
If it were up to Ability Users still at Human Order and below Rank B, they would never let it go no matter what.
Gently unscrewing the cap, Chen Fei was about to bring it to his lips when a tiny pointed beak beat him to it.
Xiao Jiu landed on his hand, eagerly poking its head into the vial's opening.
This little one was interested in everything whether it was coffee or wine; now seeing Chen Fei drinking a Magic Potion, it wanted to taste it first.
"This little rascal!"
Chen Fei slightly tilted the bottle, allowing the liquid to slowly approach the mouth of the bottle.
The Little Bird was the first to reach in with its beak, tasted a bit, emitted a strange and loud chirp, then went poke, poke, poke, vying to drink the potion, one gulp after the other, completely monopolizing the vial opening.
With this approach, it truly reminiscent of an ambitious father.
The others watched Chen Fei feeding the bird with the Psychic Power Potion, heartbroken while covering their eyes, what a waste!
Feels like his family owns a mine, using a Magic Potion to feed a bird!
Absolutely...
Hanna Gagel watched in astonishment, except she didn't find it as hard to accept as the others.
After all, the nest this youngster had prepared for the Little Bird even contained a more expensive Light Beast Crystal Core.
"Jiu!~"
Xiao Jiu drank gleefully, the entire Magic Potion was guzzled clean, and it was still pecking at the mouth of the bottle, creating a tingling sound.
"Feeding the bird!"
"What a pity!"
"You might as well have given it to me!"
Some people's expressions twisted slightly, unsure whether to feel depressed or go insane.
"You mischievous little imp!"
Chen Fei playfully teased the Little Bird.
He didn't really care about enhancing his own Psychic Power; ever since his Awakening, his psychic strength had been naturally increasing, but as for Control Power and such, with the Dog System present, he simply didn't need it.
Hanna Gagar shook her head, more convinced of her deduction.
This was not normal.
"Number 73, is there a problem?"
The leader of the reinforcements, Thunder Mage God Kanje, also noticed the unusual reaction of the 13th Reconnaissance Squad.
Hanna Gagar pointed at the landmine in Chen Fei's hand, stating unequivocally, "Mutants have passed through here; why didn't it explode!"
"They passed here, right!"
Blake smacked his head. Before the ground forces arrived, hordes of mutants, no different in size from adult bulls and weighing more than humans, had flooded the area. It didn't make sense for them not to have triggered this landmine.
If this landmine had been buried here earlier, it should have exploded by now.
Pressure-release landmines aren't that smart. Remote signals are easily blocked and interfered with underground, and only wiring could ensure its use. But wouldn't such a visible wire mean giving away a blatant clue to the enemies?
"This landmine was buried here temporarily."
The leader of the reinforcements wasn't foolish and finally realized what was happening.
"The enemy is close!"
Chen Fei easily derived a further conclusion from Manager Hanna's deduction.
Fools had no place in reconnaissance operations. To be precise, they wouldn't live long enough to partake, so everyone present was intelligent. Even if they hadn't realized it at first, they would quickly understand.
The enemy, thinking themselves clever, had inadvertently provided their opponents with a clear clue.
"We've come to the right place!"
Thunder Mage God Kanje laughed heartily, clapping his hands.
With just the manpower of the 13th Reconnaissance Squad, they weren't enough to directly attack the enemy's lair. But now with these reinforcements, they were fully capable of fighting a battle. They could even continue to bring more people down from the surface.
With an A-rank Space Series Ability User and a Second Rank Space System Mage God working together, deploying additional personnel wasn't a challenge.

Boom!~
The entire cave tunnel suddenly shook without warning, and rocks of all sizes rained down, creating a deafening rumble that was followed by a pungent smell of gunpowder and dust.
"Quick, stabilize the structure!"
Someone yelled loudly.
Whether Earth Mages or Earth Element Ability Users, all activated their abilities to stabilize the entire tunnel.
If a large-scale collapse occurred, none of them would survive.
Even Earth Element War Professionals, who couldn't help much, jammed their weapons into nearby stone walls, using their Battle Qi and Elemental Affinity to try to stabilize the violent shocks.
"Damn, that's harsh!"
The captain of the 13th Reconnaissance Squad, a tall, slim Black man named Blake, gasped in shock.
It seemed that the enemy wasn't as foolish as imagined, knowing to have a backup plan. The situation ahead could be guessed even without looking; most likely, it had already collapsed.
"Any volunteers to check the situation ahead? Be careful not to step on any more landmines." The leader of the reinforcements, Thunder Mage God Kanje, commanded.
"I'll go!"
Blake turned into a shadow, thrusting into the smoke-laden air, disappearing from sight.
Reconnaissance was his responsibility, after all.
