Watching Fang Tianhe pat the crate of red wine, Lin Xinghai vaguely understood sothing. "You an, we use this wine to curry favor?"
"Yes! Nowadays, any alcohol brewed from food is a rarity, let alone aged red wine like this."
"With this batch of red wine, plus the fact that we have the Great Elder’s approval, it’ll be easy to build good relationships with the other high-ranking officials in the Shelter."
"Of course, if we’re using it to build goodwill, I definitely won’t be selling it at a high price. So of it will even have to be given away as gifts. So, I’ll buy this batch from you in the rcenary Corps’ na first. That way, you won’t be taking a loss."
As he spoke, Fang Tianhe directly transferred 100,000 Points to Lin Xinghai.
Lin Xinghai didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted it imdiately.
Roger, who was standing at the side, was so envious his mouth was practically watering.
"You brat, with your current savings, you can almost buy a cha!" Roger said, his tone sour with jealousy.
"Not yet. I only have 143,562 Points. Besides, I don’t need to buy a cha!" Lin Xinghai said with a wide grin.
Seeing the other man rub salt in his wound, Roger was instantly exasperated. He said fiercely, "You brat, you promised ! Once I break the third Genetic Lock, you’ll get a cha for ."
"Don’t worry! With around, the rcenary Corps will earn Points quickly. A few more missions should be enough to save up for the next cha," Lin Xinghai said, patting his chest in assurance.
Roger was half-skeptical, but the number of Points in Lin Xinghai’s account was quite persuasive.
So, after his expression shifted a few tis, a smile finally appeared on his face. And for the rest of their conversation, Roger beca much more pleasant for the sake of his future cha.
Lin Xinghai found this secretly amusing. After they had walked a bit further, he saw that it was getting late and had originally planned to head straight to the Governnt Hall to wait for Liu Miaomiao and the others to get off work.
However, Shen Han stopped him. "Recruiting rcenaries is pretty difficult right now because of the Morgan Conglorate, so it’s ti for you to put your fa to use."
"Uh... so what do you need to do?" Lin Xinghai felt a little guilty. After all, everyone else was busy while he had been out earning extra money on the side, which didn’t look good.
"You have two choices. First, co to the recruitnt site tomorrow to help out. Second, co back to the rcenary Corps with us now and record a recruitnt video," Shen Han said, laying out the options directly.
Lin Xinghai chose the second option with almost no hesitation.
He followed the group back to their base in the Middle Level District. Under Shen Han’s direction, Lin Xinghai first washed up and changed into a brand-new Combat Suit before he started recording the short video.
Of course, this so-called "short video" was truly, incredibly simple.
So simple that all Lin Xinghai had to do was face the cara and read the requirents and benefits from their recruitnt ad out loud.
Even when he stamred or misread a word, Shen Han didn’t call for a stop.
The entire process was over in just one short minute, leaving Lin Xinghai a little stunned.
When he went to the rcenary Guild today, he had seen how other rcenary Corps recruited mbers.
Among these rcenary Corps, so of them of course used video presentations to introduce themselves.
But in those videos, the presenters were usually pretty young won, and the videos would be interspersed with all sorts of carefully edited combat scenes. Even without any special effects, they could be called dazzling, and they also served to show off the rcenary Corps’ strength.
Compared to those videos, the short video they recorded was simply shoddy and completely half-hearted.
But according to Shen Han, they didn’t need any of that.
The content of this video wasn’t the point. The point was to send a signal: Lin Xinghai was not leaving the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps.
Of course, it wasn’t as if Shen Han did zero post-production after the video was recorded, but the post-production was also terrifyingly simple.
He just inserted the footage of Lin Xinghai killing the Mutated Zombie right at the beginning. That was it.
Simple and crude, but any discerning rcenary who saw it would probably be too stunned to walk away.
After recording the video, Lin Xinghai didn’t linger and headed directly for the Governnt Hall in the Lower Level District.
"Ah Xing, you’re back so early today." Liu Miaomiao was the first to greet him. Seeing Lin Xinghai return safely, a genuine smile spread across her face.
"Yeah, the haul was good today, so I ca back early," Lin Xinghai nodded.
"Oh, right, I have sothing to show you." Liu Miaomiao said, mysteriously taking out a rcenary Badge.
"You joined our rcenary Corps?" Lin Xinghai was a little surprised. Roger, Fang Tianhe, and the others hadn’t ntioned this at all.
"I did! The commander promised that I only have to report to the rcenary Corps after I beco one of the Optimized. So I joined in advance. Having this badge provides an extra layer of security." She was quite happy about becoming a rcenary.
Afterward, Wang Yao and the others also ca over one by one to greet Lin Xinghai. But since they still had to work, each of them only said a few words of concern before returning to their posts.
Lin Xinghai found a random spot to sit and waited quietly. Of course, he wasn’t bored, since he had his wrist-mounted computer to play with.
While he was waiting, he received a transfer notification. A total of 835 Points had been deposited into his account, with a note that said "Mission Reward."
Looking at such a small amount of Points, Lin Xinghai really looked down on it. No wonder almost no rcenary Corps would go to Qingtang Town to clear out Zombies.
Killing one Ordinary Zombie only awarded one Point. If it weren’t for the Blood Qi Power, Lin Xinghai felt that he wouldn’t have gone either.
After the transfer notification, there was also a friend request. The note attached said: Superpower Alliance Captain, Gao Mountain.
Lin Xinghai glanced at the note and accepted the friend request directly.
The other party sent a ssage at lightning speed. "Hello, Brother Lin. Let introduce myself. I’m Captain Gao Mountain. Thank you so much for your help with our hunting squad this ti. I’d like to discuss a deeper collaboration with you. I was wondering when you might be free? I’d like to talk with you in person."
Lin Xinghai didn’t overthink it and replied directly, "Tomorrow."
"Roger that!" the other party replied, again at lightning speed.
After a quick glance, Lin Xinghai closed the chat window.
He was curious about this so-called "deeper collaboration," but he didn’t ask any more questions. ’I’ll find out tomorrow anyway.’
For him, the most important thing right now was breaking the second Genetic Lock.
In the ti since he got back, his Perception Range had already increased from 150 ters to 160 ters.
According to his estimates, he would complete the doubling process tomorrow, reaching the upper limit of 200 ters.
At that point, he should be fully adapted to his current stage. Plus, with enough Blood Qi Power, he planned to directly raise his Genetic Optimization Level from 30% to 60% and break the second Genetic Lock.
He was also looking forward to seeing what kind of changes his Superpower would undergo after its second awakening.
