Su Bai’s lips curved into a slight smile. However, Su Bai’s smile sent shivers down Lu Le’s spine.

“Boss, what are we doing out here?” Lu Le asked.

“We’re setting up defenses. Once they get close, the devices will attack them,” said Su Bai.

These tasks could be accomplished through Alchemy. But now it seemed that Alchemy was indeed a technical skill. Especially in the early stages of establishing the base, it required a lot of time and effort and most of the tasks relied on Alchemy.

Su Bai let out a sigh. He did not want to bring Roger and Zhang Yan with him. But now it seemed that he needed their help. Without hesitation, Su Bai gave Roger a call, “Roger.”

As soon as Roger saw Su Bai’s name on the phone, he immediately ran out of the laboratory to a place where he could answer the call.

“What’s up? I can’t believe you’re actually calling me?” Roger asked.

Su Bai smiled somewhat sheepishly and said, “Yes, I want to establish a base, but I’m currently short on manpower.”

Roger should have many people around him and they should be able to help.

Su Bai explained his needs to Roger, and Rogers immediately brought a few people over. At the same time, Yan Xuan also called a few of his classmates over.

“They are some students that my professor knows. They should be able to help as well.”

Su Bai let out another sigh. Actually, he did not want so many people to know. After all, this was a base he had constructed. Some matters were confidential, especially those related to security measures. But seeing their enthusiasm, Su Bai nodded.

Originally, Su Bai had only planned to use ordinary defenses. However, since so many people had come to help, he might as well utilized the most advanced defenses.

Su Bai looked at them and agreed to their presence. With those people here, Lu Le and the others would not be able to contribute much. Their original strengths relied on the abilities of Beastmasters. But now, their Beastmasters’ abilities were completely useless.

Su Bai smiled and did not say much. After all, the most important thing at the moment was to establish the base. Among the newcomers was a person named An Yuan. After An Yuan arrived, he surveyed the surroundings before smiling at Su Bai.

“Senior Su Bai, you must be the champion of the previous Alchemy competition, right?” An Yuan asked.

Other competitions had preliminaries and finals. However, the previous Alchemy competition only had a single final. The participants entered the competition from the start and the results were announced during the live broadcast.

Su Bai nodded. He had no impression of the person in front of him.

After all, during the competition, all participants wore a mask the entire time. Moreover, there were protective measures in place to prevent cheating.

Seeing Su Bai’s nod, the person quickly extended his hand and said, “Hello, I was the third-place winner in the previous competition. My name is An Yuan.”

Su Bai furrowed his brow. He could not remember who this person, An Yuan, was.

If it were not for the fierceness in his eyes when he was smiling, Su Bai would definitely shake hands with him. Su Bai was generally good at reading people. This person’s arrival indicated ulterior motives. Either he wanted to steal something or frame Su Bai.

Since Su Bai’s base had just been established and there were no secrets, the only plausible answer was framing.

Su Bai walked past An Yuan without saying a word, continuing to command everyone’s work.

Yan Xuan adjusted his glasses with his middle finger and thought, ‘Su Bai had always been kind to people. If someone came to help, Su Bai would offer them some benefits. Yet, Su Bai did not like An Yuan the moment he saw him. It indicated that there was something amiss with An Yuan.’

Yan Xuan had heard of An Yuan before. Combining everything that had just transpired, Yan Xuan had a rough idea of what was going on.

Yan Xuan walked up to Su Bai and said, “Boss, that person’s name is An Yuan. Although he placed third in the previous Alchemy competition, he is also a Beastmaster. If it weren’t for your first-place win, he would probably be the most popular contestant.”

A person who possessed both Alchemy and Beastmaster abilities. Such a combination of these two abilities naturally attracted attention. Unfortunately for An Yuan, Su Bai’s appearance made him seem out of place.

This meant that An Yuan was not particularly skilled in Alchemy. Furthermore, there were always others stronger than him in Beastmaster abilities. Su Bai had dealt An Yuan a heavy blow this time.

After Yan Xuan finished speaking, Su Bai merely glanced at An Yuan indifferently.

Curving his lips into a smile, Su Bai suddenly wanted to know what An Yuan was up to. After all, if An Yuan were alone, he probably would not dare to act this way.

An Yuan observed Su Bai’s disdainful attitude toward him. Most people would leave in such a situation, but An Yuan chose to stay. The longer An Yuan stayed, the more suspicious his actions became.

Even the surrounding students were starting to dislike Su Bai. They felt that Su Bai looked down on others after winning the previous competition.

Su Bai, however, did not know who An Yuan was, and he did not look down on anyone. Although Su Bai did not know who had placed third, if Yan Xuan had not come forward, Su Bai probably would not know who had placed second.

Su Bai’s purpose for the previous competition was originally to obtain the Saint Beast-core. Since he had already acquired it, there was no need to continue entangling with those people.

“D*mn, what kind of attitude is that? We came here to help, and he actually disrespects you?”

An Yuan sneered inwardly as he looked at Chen Dong, who was defending him.

Nevertheless, An Yuan maintained an innocent appearance and said, “Perhaps Su Bai is just too busy. After all, he came in first place, so it’s normal for him not to remember me, a third-place winner.”

Hearing that, Yan Xuan felt a sense of stifling in his heart and thought, ‘They had both praised and criticized Su Bai.’

Yan Xuan was about to say something when Su Bai stopped him. Then, Su Bai stood in front of them and said, “I am the one who wants to establish this base. If you want to help, stay. If you don’t want to help, leave. I will provide compensation to those who help.”

Having said that, Su Bai ignored the others.

Roger looked at them and felt something was off. Some of them were his students. He had originally wanted to bridge the gap between them and Su Bai. He did not understand how things ended up like that.

“I think you don’t want to help,” Roger said coldly to An Yuan.
