Taking Her Place
Reck was also part of the operation.
At first, he didn't know who Lister was targeting.
It wasn't until recently, after getting to know Wang Yue and after some of Lister's increasingly open hints, that he realized his target was actually a Galactic Noble.
Even though he was shocked, he agreed without hesitation.
It is clear that the consequences of confronting the Galactic Nobles are extremely risky, but the potential benefits are equally enormous.
The greatest gain is being completely trusted by Lister; following an Overlord Tier powerhouse is the future that Reck truly needs.
To this end, some other oversights in this operation were also specifically addressed.
This includes the S-class signal interceptor, a set of second-hand equipment that cost a total of 4.2 million credits to acquire from the black market.
As for the source of this huge amount of credits, there's no need to elaborate.
This was naturally the result of Wang Yue secretly leaving the recruit camp over the past few months.
Logically speaking, even an S-class interceptor should be unable to intercept in a normal federation environment.
However, in specific enclosed spaces and some intranet spaces, this Class S signal interceptor comes into play.
"This is information about Jialiwen, and also information about the Aiven Family. I just managed to buy it from someone."
You have a document to receive.
Lister immediately began to peruse the text carefully.
"Jialiwen Evan, civilization: Beta Civilization, member of the Aiven Family. A fifteenth-tier psychic powerhouse, overall combat strength A-level..."
"The Aiven Family, located in the Beta Civilization, is headed by Koheng Evan, a member of the Galactic Federation Senate. Their strength is unknown..."
As expected of a family from a fourth-level civilization, the patriarch is indeed extraordinary.
The Galactic Federation is the de facto central government, with two major parliaments holding supreme legislative and oversight powers.
These are the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives is composed of some powerful representatives of the three civilizations, while the actual power belongs to the Senate.
He was a true high-ranking politician, but within the Beta Civilization, the Aiven Family's strength was actually quite average, not even ranking highly.
Wang Yue, who was in front of him, was cutting into the other person's skin with a knife, and finally found the most crucial chip in the lower abdomen.
[Beta Civilization Advanced Chip (Class S): Used for text recognition and communication among all civilizations within the Galactic Federation, it can connect to the Galactic Federation's information database and cover the entire Federation's communications. (Damaged)]
Wearing the face of "Lim," Wang Yue, covered in blood, walked towards Reck and handed him the chip.
Without a word, Reck managed to conceal his exceptional communication skills during the mission, giving people a reliable impression.
Currently, the chip is placed in a specially designed demodulator, which also costs a lot of money.
Any signal-related items involving S-level equipment are priced exorbitantly.
Without Wang Yue, they wouldn't be able to buy any of these things.
"They're already fetching information; it should take about two hours."
"Is the target decided? Is it Jialiwen or..."
"Let's choose him."
The fact that this person could get Lim to send a distress message clearly indicates a close relationship between Lim.
High risk means high reward. As long as Wang Yue can get past Jialiwen, he can successfully replace Lim.
Lister used the system to scan Wang Yue in front of him, making a final confirmation.
[Target discovered: Wang Yue (Federation Military District Reserve, Beta Civilization)]
[Level: Lv108]
[Occupation: Faceless One (Other)]
[Health Points: 53501/53501]
[Stamina:15904/15904]
[Attributes: Strength 90, Stamina 93, Intelligence 103, Agility 101]
[Skill: Faceless (S-rank) LV105: Can transform into a known face every 6 hours for one week, and then master one of the transformed person's skills. The skill strength is related to the user's level. (Note: By collecting the biological information of the replaced person, a deeper soul fluctuation of the other party can be simulated.)]
...]
[Overall Rating: Grade A]
Compared to Lister's rapid progress, the future "Devious Theft" Wang Yue is also growing at a fast pace.
Especially under the various courses in the Federation Military District, including recruit camps.
Wang Yue's skill level began to increase rapidly, and just two months ago, his Faceless skill made a major breakthrough.
Especially when the other person appears in front of him with Reck's face.
When his system scan revealed that the opposing civilization belonged to the Wanda Civilization, Lister immediately overturned his original battle plan.
He prepared to tell Wang Yue about his original plan to deal with Lim alone.
The two hit it off immediately. For Wang Yue, compared to the resources of the military region, it was naturally better to become Lim directly and have access to the resources of Galactic Noble as Lim.
This delayed the entire plan by three months.
Wang Yue impersonated Reck to approach and join Lim, partly to gain her trust and probe her thoughts so that their plan could be implemented.
The other, and most important, aspect is understanding Lim's lifestyle habits.
To completely replace the other party, understanding their information is also a crucial step.
Although Wang Yue herself had experience growing up in place of the village chief's daughter since childhood.
But this time, since it's a direct replacement for Lim, a Galactic Noble, the preparations beforehand were naturally much more thorough.
Wang Yue was still processing the corpse, as if it were a skill he had just learned in the Galactic Federation.
Lim, lying in a pool of blood, gradually changed her appearance, especially her ears, which became sharp, transforming her into the appearance of Arcane Civilization woman, the same face Wang Yue usually wore.
"That's enough, none of this matters."
"Take another look at Jialiwen's information; he's the key."
It is said that Wang Yue ultimately dripped his own blood onto the ground and added a specially prepared solution.
The next instant, the blood on the ground, which had been dried, suddenly began to boil and bubble.
After a long while, the blood finally calmed down again.
It's a special blood transfusion solution used in the Galactic Federation, as it excludes real Lim's blood.
Only then did Wang Yue leave the scene of the body and go to Reck's side, where she once again examined all the information about the Aiven Family.
Everything tonight, including the key to whether she can replace Lim, mainly hinges on this final step.
No matter how well the body is concealed, with the Federation's current level of technology, it's still possible to find clues if one wants to.
Everything, including the scene itself, is actually full of loopholes upon closer examination.
The only thing that could conceal all of this was Lim Evan, the identity of this Galactic Noble and the power behind him.
As long as Wang Yue can replace Lim Evan first and gain the trust of the family's intended successor, Jialiwen, then everything will be fine.
Tonight, all that will happen is that Lim killed a Federation recruit named Wang Yue, and that Lim belonged to the Merrick Civilization, which was only at the first level.
Furthermore, this location was already controversial, and it will be assigned to the local government, no longer under the jurisdiction of the recruit camp, which means there is room for discussion with the Federation Military District.
It could be said that everything that Lim had prepared in the beginning to eliminate Lister has now been used by them.
Whether it's an on-site investigation or a determination of the nature of the incident.
As long as Wang Yue can replace Lim, everything will be fine.
No one would hold a novice from an ordinary Level 1 civilization accountable, nor would anyone make things difficult for a Galactic Noble.
I've sent you all the information I could capture.
"Then I'll head out first?"
Reck, a student in the Mechanical Engineering Department, focuses primarily on signal and magnetic fluctuations.
This is significant for them tonight, and for the entire operation.
Nodding, he watched as Reck took all his equipment and left.
Lister then looked at Wang Yue again.
Wang Yue first took out the original Arcane Basic Chip from the bowl, and then activated the special Beta Civilization Chip.
A few minutes later, all the information had been transmitted.
He then raised his wrist towards the void, and as the signal was connected, a very handsome man appeared before him.
The other person looked to be a young man in his early thirties, with perfectly proportioned facial features and an air of maturity about him.
Looking at Lim covered in blood in the video, he frowned, his eyes filled with suspicion and seriousness.
What are you making so loudly so late at night?
"Uncle Jialiwen, something's happened."
"The operation was exposed prematurely, and I killed a new recruit."
"Lim" looked annoyed, showing no fear whatsoever for killing someone in the recruit camp.
As he spoke, his dissatisfaction grew, along with a sense of annoyance that his plans had been ruined.
As expected of a professional Faceless Person since childhood, Lister will not judge his attack methods, but he is simply a genius in imitation and emotion. Even knowing his true identity, he was somewhat dazed for a moment.
Jialiwen's eyes narrowed instantly; his sharpness could be felt even through the screen.
Who did you kill?
Upon hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Lister's face, who was not far away.
Instead of immediately suspecting Lim, she thought about helping to clean up his mess, and things became much easier after that.
"The dead recruit was named Wang Yue, he was from the Merrick Civilization, and he was me..."
"The Merrick Civilization? The same civilization as that Overlord Tier recruit?"
Interrupting Wang Yue's explanation, a hint of impatience flashed across Jialiwen's face.
Seeing Lim nod, he couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.
"Can't you just bear with it for a little while?"
"We must take action against those around him tonight!?"
"How many times has this happened already? From the Federation Government to the Federation Military District, do you think family resources are limitless!?"
