"Boss, after feeding the plants from the island to those two cows these past couple of days, they've grown like crazy. They're now over a meter tall!" Vincent exclaimed excitedly to Elijah.
"Oh? Show me," Elijah replied, his own excitement tempered but not entirely surprised. While Red Fruit's branches and leaves didn't hold as much Chi as its fruits, they certainly had some effect.
"Boss, are these plants related to Awakening Potion?" Vincent led the way ahead while asking.
"Sort of. I only needed the fruits of those plants, but I figured the branches and leaves might have some effect, so I didn't want to waste them and fed them to the cows," Elijah explained.
Vincent and the others didn't know about Red Fruit; Gabriel was the only one who had some knowledge.
"I see. Um... can I try some?" Vincent asked tentatively.
"Well... you can, but you don't have to compete with the cows for food!" Elijah chuckled.
"When you've done a good job with the island's informatization work, I'll reward you with a dose of Awakening Potion!"
"Alright!"
Vincent clenched his fist in determination. This mission reward was within his grasp!
The two of them quickly arrived at the place where the two cows were kept. When Xavier had previously fed them, during their spare time, they fenced off an area in the service area's green zone and even set up a shed for them.
Normally, they would cut some grass for them or lead the two cows around to forage on their own.
None of them had ever raised such animals before; Xavier had been experimenting by himself, and in the end, they hadn't died and had grown somewhat.
When Elijah had first seen the calves, they were only about half a meter tall, but now, standing before him were two nearly adult cows, each over a meter tall.
Moreover, these two cows no longer looked as thin and weak as before. They appeared muscular, powerful, and robust.
"There's been quite a change. If we keep feeding them like this, we might have fresh milk to drink in no time!" Elijah marveled as he circled around the two cows.
"Hehe, Boss, I know a bit about this. See this cow here? Usually quiet, but today, she's been mooing a lot and waving her tail high..." Vincent chuckled and pointed out.
"And here, it's plump, soft, relaxed, and shiny... these are signs. I estimate we're not far from having fresh milk!" Vincent continued excitedly.
"What kind of things do you usually look at?" Elijah looked at Vincent in astonishment.
"Didn't you hand them over to me, Boss? So I found a guide on pre-and post-natal care for cows!" Vincent replied confidently.
"Well...," Elijah wanted to ask where he found such a guide, but then thought better of it. He patted Vincent on the shoulder.
"I'll leave these two cows to you! When the day comes for fresh milk, I'll reward you with a dose of advanced potion!"
"I promise to complete the task!" Vincent saluted Elijah respectfully.
Happy in his heart, another task completed, and the advanced potion was secured!
"Alright." Elijah smiled indifferently, then handed Quentin two bottles of potions in the expectant eyes of the crowd.
"The reddish one is the advancement potion, and the greenish one is the awakening potion!"
Upon hearing this, Quentin solemnly took the potions and then handed the green one to the younger brother who had brought spirit plants yesterday.
"Cameron, you go first!"
"Okay, thank you Quentin, thank you boss!"
Cameron expressed his gratitude to Quentin and Elijah before excitedly drinking the awakening potion. Under everyone's gaze, he successfully awakened.
"What ability did you awaken?"
Surrounded by his younger brothers, Cameron was asked enviously.
"Magnetism control!"
Cameron exclaimed with delight.
"Wow, that's like Magneto's ability! You're going places, kid!"
Others showed envy on their faces.
"It's not that impressive. I can't fully utilize the Earth's magnetic field yet. I can only give metals some magnetism or even grab metals from a distance!"
Cameron chuckled.
After two days of interaction, Quentin and his younger brothers gradually understood that while awakened abilities were important, what mattered most was the enhanced superhuman physique achievable through body forging techniques after awakening.
"Oh, stop acting like you don't want it!"
"Yeah, if you don't want it, give it to me!"
Cameron was surrounded and teased by his younger brothers for a while before everyone looked at Quentin together.
Without further ado, Quentin drank some of the advancement potion under everyone's gaze.
As the potion entered his system, a thread of consciousness connected between Quentin and Elijah.
"Everything's settled!"
Quentin now controlled three out of the four ability users on his team, no longer worried about them losing control.
Next, it was about determining who would advance to the third tier!
Then, he could safely go out!
