In the dimly lit room, a tall man with a pale face was lying on the bed. Yu Ni stood by the bed and watched the man drink the mental strength potion with anticipation, in hopes that the man’s pain could be suppressed.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. This mental strength potion didn’t ease the man’s pain. Instead, it increased it.

“How can this be… This is a mental strength potion distributed by the military to current and retired soldiers…” Yu Ni looked at the man on the bed, who looked like he was in pain, and muttered in disbelief.

The man tried his best to smile and comfort Yu Ni. “You don’t have to go through so much trouble for me. After that battle, my mental strength was severely injured. I won’t recover.”

“No, I won’t give up. There must be a problem with the potion!”

“I know my body. I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait until the day Guoguo grows up. This is the money I’ve saved over the years. Guoguo will have to rely on you.”

The man trembled as he took out a card and handed it to Yu Ni. Then, he smiled gently at Yu Guo, who was sleeping soundly not far away.

“Brother! What are you talking about? Yu Guo doesn’t have a mother anymore. Are you going to make her lose her father too?” Yu Nit s eyes turned red.

“I know. It’s because I’m incompetent. I’m not a good father…” The man raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his sister’s eyes.” I’m not a good brother either. I’m sorry, Little Sister. I shouldn’t have said these words to make you cry…”

Yu Ni held his bony hand as she shook her head vigorously. “No, I’m the one who dragged you down. If it weren’t for the fact that you had to raise me, you wouldn’t have joined the army or participated in that battle that you had no chance of winning. This way, you wouldn’t have such deep repercussions because you didn’t use the mental strength potion in time…”

Yu Ni’s words made the man feel sad. In fact, they wouldn’t have suffered such heavy casualties in that battle. It was just that for some reason, the effect of the mental potion on mental disorder was very different from before.

The soldiers were equipped with the same amount of potions as before, but in the end, these potions didn’t allow them to safely survive the riot caused by overuse of mental strength. Two-thirds of the soldiers died in the mental strength riot, and only one-third survived. However, the outcome was that he became bedridden.

Thinking of her brother’s pale and fragile face before he passed away, Yu Ni closed her eyes and her heart ached. She hated the Wei family. She resented them for being so bold as to tamper with the mental strength potion for money and personal benefits. She also resented her brother for not telling her the truth in order to prevent her from doing anything stupid.

After her brother passed away, she lived alone with Guoguo. It wasn’t until another of her brother’s former comrades passed away that Yu Ni learned the truth from the family of her comrade.

Time was tight during that battle. In order to fulfill the requirements of the federal government, the Wei family had tampered with the potion and secretly lowered the ratio of some unimportant ingredients. This wasn’t a problem when dealing with mental strength riots. However, the soldiers on the battlefield needed to use the mental strength potion at a life-and-death moment when their mental strength was exhausted. Such a potion that was made by cutting corners would only end up killing people.

It wasn’t that no one suspected that there was a problem with the potion after such heavy casualties, but the Wei family had been operating for many years and had ties with many of the higher-ups of the Federation. In the end, the

Wei family offered a scapegoat and paid huge compensation to the soldiers and their families.

Yu Ni’s gaze darkened. She didn’t want to swallow her anger like the families of most soldiers, nor did she want anyone to experience such injustice again.

Therefore, when she saw that the live-streamer, Zhu Fei, had obtained the right to live on the capital planet by participating in the food competition, she had an idea. She placed Yu Guo on the remote Planet Mu and ventured into the food live-stream industry herself. She relied on her own strength to rise up the ranks.

Yu Ni had actually contributed a lot to Zhu Fei’s rapid downfall this time. In her opinion, Zhu Fei, who had made first place in the previous competition, was the biggest obstacle to her reaching the capital planet.

However, she didn’t expect Liao Ning to be more impressive than Zhu Fei. She originally wanted to target Liao Ning later on, but she didn’t expect Liao Ning to be Guoguo’s trusted teacher. In that case, she would have to change her plan for Guoguo’s sake..
