Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 277
Upon hearing Ye Xiangxiang’s words, Xu Qi and the others couldn’t help but raise their heads arrogantly.
“Gu Yuan, from N City, a third-tier ability user,” Gu Yuan said indifferently.
Ye Xiangxiang waited expectantly for the group to react with excitement, shock, and admiration toward their team.
However, she didn’t expect—
After hearing her words, the registration staff merely noted it down calmly. “Ye Xiangxiang, your information has been recorded. You’re temporarily assigned to the free-action team.”
There wasn’t even a hint of surprise.
Ye Xiangxiang was certain that, up until now, the highest-level ability users in the apocalypse were only second-tier.
Third-tier users like them were supposed to be revered.
“Did you not hear me clearly?” Ye Xiangxiang couldn’t hold back anymore. She stared intently at the registrar. “Listen carefully—I said I’m a third-tier ability user!”
She slammed her hand on the table, startling the registrar.
“Are you out of your mind?” The registrar placed the recorded form on the table and rolled his eyes at her. “Number 56939, Ye Xiangxiang, third-tier ability user. Next.”
Ye Xiangxiang snatched the paper in disbelief and looked at it.
It clearly stated that she was a third-tier ability user.
“Where did these bumpkins come from?” the registrar muttered under his breath as he watched Ye Xiangxiang and her group walk away. The one she had yelled at even glared at her retreating figure and whispered, “So what if you’re a third-tier ability user? Acting all high and mighty.”
Ye Xiangxiang didn’t hear any of this.
Right now, all she could think was—Are the people in this Capital City Base out of their minds?
…..
A District
A group of ability users gathered together, their expressions grim.
“The T City Base has developed something that temporarily boosts combat power,” one of them said gravely. “Yesterday, one of my second-tier subordinates fought a second-tier user from T City. That bastard took some drug and temporarily jumped to third-tier. If I hadn’t intervened, the losses would’ve been devastating.”
None of the bases were on friendly terms.
Especially in the apocalypse.
Anyone venturing out alone would likely get robbed or ambushed. The rule was simple—whoever had the biggest fists ruled.
“Su Ran, why aren’t any of you saying anything?” The man turned to Su Ran and the others, who looked completely unbothered.
Then he remembered who Su Ran followed and stopped wondering.
No matter how much T City’s people tried to jump tiers, they’d never surpass Su Ran’s team!
“Boss, what should we do?” The man wiped his face and turned to Sui Yun, almost whining.
Sui Yun had just returned with Su Ran’s team after wiping out a nest of fourth-tier zombies. The scent of blood still clung to him.
He didn’t respond. Instead, someone from the lab approached. “Boss Sui Yun, Miss Ye wants you all to come over.”
Lately, Ye Shaohua had been summoning them to test new drugs, so they were used to it by now.
Wei Qi glanced at Su Ran’s group before following.
Ye Shaohua had already heard about Ye Xiangxiang and the others arriving at the Capital City Base.
But she didn’t pay them any attention.
After all, this mission only had two objectives: protect her parents and, if possible, change the course of the apocalypse.
To be fair, the original host was quite laid-back—she didn’t want revenge on anyone.
“Miss Ye, what did you call us for?” Su Ran and the others entered the doctor’s lab.
“Try this.” Ye Shaohua was peering into a microscope and casually tossed a brown pill to Su Ran.
Wei Qi had personally witnessed Su Ran advance to a fourth-tier ability user over the past few days.
She didn’t even know how to feel anymore—except regret, of course.
“What’s this one? A super-energy recovery pill?” Su Ran joked.
But the buzz-cut man who had complained to Sui Yun earlier thought the pill looked familiar…
Ye Shaohua didn’t even look up. “Just developed it. It allows users to temporarily fight above their tier. But there’s a drawback—three hours of complete physical weakness afterward. Don’t use it unless absolutely necessary.”
After she finished speaking, the lab fell silent.
Ye Shaohua frowned.
“What?” She narrowed her eyes. “Can’t use it?”
“No, no!” The buzz-cut man immediately leaped up and snatched the pill from Su Ran’s hand. “Miss Ye, I’ll test it for you! I’ll report back on its effects in four hours!”
He shamelessly pocketed the pill and even wanted to punch Su Ran. “No wonder you weren’t worried at all! Miss Ye already developed this tier-jumping drug, and you kept it a secret? I’ve been stressing for two days!”
As for the drawback? It wasn’t a big deal.
Rumor had it that T City’s people couldn’t move for three days after taking their version.
Compared to that, three hours of weakness was nothing!
Su Ran had only just learned why Ye Shaohua had called him over, but he didn’t explain. Instead, he smirked and said, “Obviously.”
…..
“Have you heard of the ‘Doomsday Trio’?” Sui Yun asked Ye Shaohua after the others left. “The base manager mentioned they gave the lab an energy potion.”
“Yeah. The effect was too weak, so I sent it back,” Ye Shaohua replied casually.
The sheer audacity of that statement made Sui Yun chuckle. “Got it.”
He wondered how the Doomsday Trio would react if they heard their potion was dismissed as “too weak.”
…..
“Wei Wei, wait.” Ye Shaohua, who had been holed up in the lab for days, suddenly remembered something as Wei Wei was about to leave. She pulled out a few bottles of medicine from her pocket. “Take these to my parents.”
Though Ye Changming knew his daughter could now provide for them, he and his wife couldn’t stand being idle.
Especially since Ye Shaohua had poured countless resources and effort into raising both of them to third-tier ability users.
With the apocalypse rendering his old business impossible, Ye Changming often took on missions with his wife.
Since both were third-tier, Ye Shaohua wasn’t too worried—though she always gave them a stash of medicine before they left.
Wei Wei took the bottles and headed toward their living quarters.
At that moment, Ye Xiangxiang and her group passed by A District, gazing at it with envy and silently vowing to live there one day.
But none of them expected to see Wei Wei among the A District residents.
“Wei Wei? You’re still alive?” Ye Xiangxiang stared at her in disbelief. Not only was she alive, but how had an ordinary person like her ended up living in A District—a place even they couldn’t access?
