Chapter 2072: The Secret of the C-Class Serum
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing that it was a call from Lin Yi, Li Xianghui didn’t think much and answered it casually.
“Brother, what do you need for?” Lin Yi said, still half-asleep.
Li XianghuI, “…”
“We’re here to catch soone, and you’ve been missing all day. What’s going on? Hurry back.”
If it were just a matter for the Xinshan branch, Li Xianghui wouldn’t have minded so much.
But this ti, the Songjiang branch was also involved, and they needed to be serious; there was no room for slacking off.
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing big. Relax, I’ve already sent soone to pick you up.”
“Huh?”
Li Xianghui was taken aback.
“Pick us up? For what?”
“For fun,” Lin Yi said matter-of-factly.
“We’re always busy with work. Now that we’re in Yanjing on the company’s di, we should take the opportunity to explore the capital. I’ve already arranged a guide for you. Take this chance to relax.”
“Don’t joke around. We have serious work to do. Even if we want to play, we should catch the guy first,” Li Xianghui said sternly.
“Co back quickly, stop fooling around.”
“No, you don’t have to worry about catching the person, it will be fine. The tour guide will be There soon, just follow him. I have other things to do, so I’ll hang up now.”
Lin Yi didn’t bother saying more. In his view, catching Wei Jianlong was no big deal.
He could handle it in minutes without any fuss.
Seeing Li Xianghui’s displeased expression after the call, Gu Yiran asked,
“Brother Li, what did Lin Yi say?”
“He said he found us a tour guide and that we should use this ti to enjoy Yanjing.”
“For fun?”
Even the people from the Xinshan branch couldn’t accept Lin Yi’s approach.
They were here to handle official business, not to sightsee!
“He really said that. He also said not to worry and that he could definitely catch Wei Jianlong.”
No one doubted Lin Yi’s abilities—he was indeed outstanding, and the Xinshan branch knew that.
But the problem was, Wei Jianlong was no ordinary thug; he was far more ruthless.
Moreover, capturing Bai Yongshou had involved a lot of luck.
Facing Wei Jianlong this ti, they couldn’t count on being so lucky again.
“Captain Li, what’s up with your Lin Yi? He’s treating sothing this important like a joke. Is he even taking this mission seriously?” Ling Han asked, clearly annoyed.
“Captain Ling, don’t get upset just yet. Lin Yi might seem careless, but he’s very reliable when it counts. I’m sure he has his reasons.”
Although Lin Yi was in the wrong, Li Xianghui still defended him at the critical mont.
“Well, since you think he’s reliable, we won’t say more. But as for the sightseeing, we’ll pass. Enjoy yourselves.”
With that, Ling Han and the team from the Songjiang branch left, leaving Li Xianghui and his group behind.
“Brother Li, what now? After this, working together is going to be difficult.”
“Then we’ll just have to act separately and figure out our own way to catch Wei Jianlong.”
Everyone nodded. It was their only option now.
However, with the limited information they had, catching him was far from guaranteed.
…
anwhile, at the hotel, Lin Yi and Ning Che had just finished their morning workout. After breakfast, they drove to the Central Guards Brigade.
[Mission completed, 200,000 skill points awarded.]
[Job completion: 50%, D-class combat skill awarded.]
Hearing the notification in his mind, Lin Yi’s first thought was that Pang Lanjun and Wang Mingyang must have confessed; otherwise, the system wouldn’t have marked the mission as complete.
This mission’s reward made Lin Yi particularly excited.
Combat skills and combat power were two different growth systems.
Previously, he was classified as C-class in combat power, but his combat skills were only E-class. Even so, it had significantly improved his abilities.
Now, with the system rewarding him with D-class combat skills, even though his combat power didn’t increase, his combat experience would see a substantial leap.
Lin Yi thought to himself that if he’d had D-class combat skills while in Sunrise Land, he might not have taken that hit.
“Redeem.”
As soon as Lin Yi spoke the command, an imnse amount of combat skills and experience flooded into his mind.
Lin Yi breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
This would greatly enhance his combat abilities, making future encounters with those mysterious organizations much less daunting.
About forty minutes later, Lin Yi drove into the Central Guards Brigade base.
On the training ground, so non-combat personnel were busy making preparations for the upcoming nationwide recruitnt.
“Boss Liu probably has so private matter to discuss with you, so I won’t follow you. Go ahead with your business.”
Ning Che said as they entered the building.
“Your choice of words is too imprecise. ‘Private matter’ makes it sound like we’re so kind of couple.”
“It’s just an expression,” Ning Che laughed, waving him off.
“I’ve got other things to do, so I’m off. Bye-bye.”
Lin Yi nodded, then turned and headed to Liu Hong’s office on the third floor.
When he opened the door, the room was filled with smoke.
“Boss Liu, you’re cultivating immortality in your office every day. What stage are you at now? Shouldn’t you be ascending soon?”
“Ascend my foot.”
Liu Hong stubbed out his cigarette and opened a window. “Co in; I need to talk to you.”
“But from the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like anything serious.”
“It’s not a big deal, but it’s not trivial either, so I didn’t rush it,” Liu Hong said.
“The report on the experint you conducted earlier has co in.”
Lin Yi’s expression changed, suddenly becoming serious.
“What’s the situation? Any findings?”
“According to the report, the C-class serum is remarkably intact, unlike the E-class serum you brought back from the Mitsui family. I can say that if soone used it, the chances of failure are extrely low.”
“Damn it!”
Lin Yi cursed, “So you’re saying they could potentially mass-produce C-class combatants? At this rate, they’ll take over the world in no ti.”
“That’s not entirely accurate. The side effects are minimal, but that doesn’t an there are no drawbacks.”
“What’s the drawback?”
“It triggers a countdown on the user’s life,” Liu Hong explained.
“The experints show that injecting the complete C-class serum may limit the user’s lifespan to just ten years, and that’s under the best circumstances.”
