Lin Xinghai soon left the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps and arrived at the Mountain and Sea rcenary Corps’ headquarters.
The Mountain and Sea rcenary Corps was one of the few Second Level rcenary Corps that had returned. After all, the branch base in Guanghan City was an absolute gold mine.
Basically, any rcenary Corps that hadn’t earned enough Points was unwilling to return.
After all, everyone knew that Points were easiest to earn in the early stages of developnt. You could collect a ton of supplies just by taking a casual trip outside.
But as ti went on, the difficulty of both killing Zombies and collecting supplies would steadily rise. Moreover, the danger would increase significantly if they had to venture far from the branch base.
As for the Mountain and Sea rcenary Corps, with Lin Xinghai looking out for them, they were naturally different from the other Second Level rcenary Corps. The amount of Points they earned was almost on par with so Third Level rcenary Corps.
So upon returning this ti, they also planned to significantly boost the rcenary Corps’ strength. After all, they could directly ask the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps to help them exchange for military-grade equipnt.
"Brother Hai, what brings you here? Do you have any instructions for us?" Gao Shan was the first to greet him as Lin Xinghai entered the headquarters.
"Hello, Commander."
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander."
The rest of the mbers also greeted him respectfully.
Lin Xinghai’s prestige in the Mountain and Sea rcenary Corps was even greater than in the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps.
After all, in the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps, Fang Tianhe was the official commander. Now that he had also advanced to the Blood Qi Realm, Lin Xinghai wasn’t the sole core figure.
But everyone in the Mountain and Sea rcenary Corps knew they were rely Lin Xinghai’s Affiliated rcenary Corps.
Lin Xinghai greeted everyone first, then turned to Gao Shan and the rest of the corps’ leadership. "Hurry up and get your new equipnt sorted out," he said. "Also, we’ll probably be staying in the Shelter for the next few days. When you have spare ti, go to the rcenary Guild and recruit so new mbers."
According to Lin Xinghai’s original plan, he wasn’t in a hurry to recruit. ’It would be better to use all their resources to increase their strength,’ he had thought. ’These other matters could wait until the core mbers had broken their third Genetic Lock.’
But over the past few days, they had raked in a huge amount of Points, so there was no need to worry about Cultivation Resources for Gao Shan and the others. In that case, with a surplus of Points, it wouldn’t hurt to start slowly recruiting so new mbers.
Gao Shan naturally had no objections. "Alright! I’ll get on it later. Are there any specific requirents for the new recruits?"
"I’ve personally coached your Gun Technique, so it far surpasses that of other Second Level rcenary Corps. Even without new recruits, the overall strength of our Mountain and Sea rcenary Corps is among the best of the Second Level. There’s no need to rush to expand our ranks just for the sake of it."
"So, for this recruitnt drive, their current strength is secondary. What’s important is their potential."
"I have only two requirents: either their Genetic Assessnt is C Level, or they’ve awakened a Superpower," Lin Xinghai stated plainly.
However, his words made the expressions of many rcenaries in the room falter. Based on those requirents, the vast majority of them wouldn’t have qualified.
After all, the vast majority of rcenaries only had a D Level Genetic Assessnt, and a few were even at E Level.
Of course, Lin Xinghai noticed the change in their expressions. In fact, he had said it here on purpose, precisely to instill a sense of urgency in these veteran mbers.
This way, if they didn’t want to be left behind in the future, their only option would be to stick close to Gao Shan and the others.
As for Gao Shan, he also looked stunned after hearing Lin Xinghai’s requirents. They were simply too high.
"Okay, I’ll make the arrangents." Gao Shan nodded in acknowledgnt, then continued, "But with these requirents, it’ll probably be very difficult to find enough people in a short amount of ti."
"Of course it’ll be difficult! Besides, these are the sa recruitnt requirents as the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps. Until they’ve filled their ranks, you can forget about recruiting anyone. But there’s no rush. Take your ti. Taking a month or two is fine; we’re only picking the best," Lin Xinghai said.
Only then did Gao Shan breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Xinghai went over the arrangents for the next few days before departing.
By the ti he returned to the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps’ headquarters, it was nearly dinnerti.
Lin Xinghai grabbed Liu Miaomiao, along with a few new mbers of the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps, and they all headed straight to a restaurant for dinner.
These "new mbers," of course, were Wang Yao and the other young won.
Previously, when the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps went to Guanghan City to clear out Zombies, the Interdiate Gene dicine Liquid that Fang Tianhe had commissioned the Military Departnt to purchase was delivered the very next day. Lin Xinghai had given a batch of it to Liu Miaomiao.
And since Liu Miaomiao had more than she could use, she sent the surplus Genetic dicine Liquid back for Wang Yao and the other girls.
So now, Wang Yao, Qin Zixue, and Shen Yii had all beco the Optimized.
Even Yang Yi, the least talented of the group, had already reached a Genetic Optimization Level of 25% and wasn’t far from becoming one of the Optimized herself.
Of course, even though she hadn’t beco one of the Optimized yet, the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps’ relationship with the Shelter’s upper echelons was strong enough to have her transferred directly to the Middle Level District and join them.
However, aside from Wang Yao, the other three won were assigned to work in the logistics support group.
So, Lin Xinghai was treating today’s al as a welco banquet for them.
Lin Xinghai led the five won to the Cloud Restaurant, the most high-end establishnt in the Shelter. He really wasn’t short on Points now; even a al costing ten or twenty thousand was a drop in the bucket. He certainly wasn’t going to short-change his own stomach.
Soon, one exquisite dish after another was served. At the table, everyone began to share what they had been up to for the past half-month.
Of course, it was mostly the won talking and Lin Xinghai listening.
As Liu Miaomiao recounted the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps’ adventures, the other won couldn’t help but gasp in amazent. Hearing how Lin Xinghai had saved the day ti and ti again, their admiration for him grew even deeper.
Then it was Wang Yao and the others’ turn to talk about what they had been doing in the Shelter for the past half-month.
When Lin Xinghai heard that Wang Yao had awakened a Fla Superpower upon becoming one of the Optimized, he couldn’t help but look surprised.
Wang Yao’s talent was actually quite good. With a Genetic Assessnt Level C and now an awakened Superpower, her potential was on par with Roger’s group. She could be cultivated as a key talent for the rcenary Corps.
Moreover, based on Wang Yao’s description of her Superpower, Lin Xinghai estimated that even if this Fla Superpower didn’t et the standard for Rare Level, it was still much stronger than an average Basic Superpower.
"What’s your Genetic Optimization Level now?" Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but ask.
"Thanks to the Interdiate Gene dicine Liquid Liu Miaomiao sent back, my Genetic Optimization Level has already reached 48%."
After answering Lin Xinghai’s question, Wang Yao turned to Liu Miaomiao and said, "I hear that stuff is really expensive. Once I start going on missions with the rcenary Corps, I’ll save up enough Points to pay you back as soon as I can."
"Oh! No, no, you don’t have to." Liu Miaomiao quickly waved her hand, explaining, "That Interdiate Gene dicine Liquid wasn’t mine. It belonged to Ah Xing."
