Lin Qi's Unashamed Question

Lin Qi had just finished the connection when Liu Weicai directly asked, "You applied for an M-level research project?"

On the screen, Liu Weicai's eyes were full of doubt, as if to say, "Based on you?"

Lin Qi nodded and replied with a smile, "It's for learning. I'm only nineteen. Since I can become an L-level Cybernetic Body researcher, I can also achieve results in drug research."

Liu Weicai's gaze softened slightly. "Ten M-level research assistants?"

Lin Qi's smile remained confident. "My authority is sufficient, and I'm not ashamed to ask for guidance."

Liu Weicai's eyes changed completely, even showing a hint of relief. "I can approve it for you."

Liu Weicai's tone actually carried a hint of goodwill.

He had initially thought Lin Qi was just a nepotism hire, but he didn't expect him to be capable and shameless.

Liu Weicai greatly admired such people; he was one himself.

If he cared about face, he would never have taken such a "low-level" job given his status as a member of the Liu Family.

Things went unusually smoothly. Before long, ten M-level researchers entered Lab 1339 with extreme caution.

This was an opportunity to research under an A-level big shot and a chance to advance their ranks!

Seeing the cautious and ambitious eyes of the M-level researchers, Lin Qi felt no guilt.

He immediately asked, "I'm researching drugs across fields without any foundational knowledge. What books do I need to read?"

All the M-level researchers: "Huh?"

It was bad!

They had thought he was an A-level drug research big shot, but he was actually an A-level from another research field.

The big shot was just coasting.

Although they had some reservations, the M-level researchers dared not show any and could only offer suggestions.

"You can read 'Si Li's Basic Pharmacy,' 'Fundamentals of Extraordinary Material Fusion,' 'The Extraordinary Human Body'..."

Lin Qi's research into pharmacology was on track, and he temporarily paid no attention to external affairs.

However, Liu Xingzhou, responsible for Liu Xuan and Liu Li, and incidentally for Lin Qi's safety, was having a polite conversation with Si Li, the current head of the Si Clan, on the top floor of Tower A of the Twin Towers at Si Pharmaceutical.

"I'll be damned, Si XX, the strategic alliance between the Si and Liu families, and the Si Clan just lets your crazy person do this?"

"Has it been ten years since I, Liu Xingzhou, came to Greenland City and you, Si XX, have gone crazy with cybernetic psychosis?"

This usually steady Train Conductor was clearly in an extremely bad mood, completely losing his usual demeanor.

Si Li's expression didn't change at all. "Anyway, that researcher isn't an heir of your Liu Family, is he?"

Liu Xingzhou didn't reply and remained silent for a long time.

Si Li tilted his head slightly. "Oh? Is he important?"

Liu Xingzhou's attitude said it all.

Lin Qi was indeed important; he could directly affect Liu Xuan's mental state.

And Liu Xuan was no different from an heir to the Liu Clan.

Si Li pondered for a moment. "I understand. I will arrange for someone to educate Si Ying and do my best to provide compensation, ensuring the researcher's safety in Greenland City as much as possible."

"As much as possible."

For large corporations, such descriptions were no different from bullshit.

Liu Xingzhou took a deep breath. After all, the two families were in a strategic alliance; they wouldn't completely fall out over this.

Liu Xingzhou's purpose for coming to the Twin Towers today was simple.

"The Liu Clan needs a batch of S-level drugs for support. Although we've concentrated most of our forces in Greenland City, the pressure from Red Fruit City is also significant."

"According to Red Fruit Intelligence's analysis, a fourth-order extraordinary individual from the Assassin's League has appeared in Red Fruit City. Xingyuan needs to reach fourth-order combat power as soon as possible for Red Fruit City to be stable."

"You should understand the principle of 'lips and teeth' (mutual dependence)."

Liu Xingzhou regained his composure as a Train Conductor.

This was the true nature of top personnel in large corporations: they only cared about profit and loss.

Any mistake could be compensated with sufficient profit.

Let alone Lin Qi, even if an heir of the Liu Clan truly died, the company wouldn't immediately collapse, and certain other corporations in the Asian political region wouldn't stand by and watch the Liu Clan collapse.

As long as enough profit was delivered, all mistakes would be insignificant.

"Okay."

Si Li agreed readily.

Liu Xingzhou was satisfied but still had to complain a little.

"Si Ying, that lunatic, acting as your Si Clan's scapegoat is too obvious."

"Allowing the scapegoat to act so freely, if he's quickly taken down, it's not conducive to hiding the true heir."

"Looking at our Liu Clan..."

On the outskirts of Greenland City, inside a certain Cybernetic Body clinic.

Two top mercenaries from the T0-level Mercenary Group, the Holy Corpse Legion, activated their last resort backup plan and met here.

They didn't discuss the whereabouts of their equipment; it was meaningless. They were discussing the mission objective.

"This damn mission is so troublesome. Assassinating the Si Clan heir, and we don't even know who the heir is. The obvious one, Si Ying, is a fake. Killing him would be a waste of time and expose us."

The spiky-haired blonde grumbled, not understanding why the Mercenary Group would accept such a mission.

"Without quantum communication devices, and it's meaningless to steal the server core data from under the Si Clan Twin Towers. The mission has become much more difficult, and the Si Pharmaceutical identity the legion forged for you is useless now."

"Lion, how about this: you go kill Si Ying and the previous generation's leader of the Si Clan. I'll hide in the shadows and wait for the opportune moment. By then, the true heir will surely reveal themselves."

The speaker was a fatty, whose codename was also Fatty.

If Lin Qi were here, he would surely exclaim in admiration.

The fatty, who looked like he weighed over three hundred jin, had a body mass that couldn't even be packed into a single dumpling!

It was all Cybernetic Body, all weapons!

The spiky-haired blonde, Lion, looked at Fatty as if he were an idiot. "There's a bounty of one hundred million credits on Si Ying's head. Besides, he's an obvious target."

"How about this: you go kill, and I'll hide and wait for the opportune moment."

Fatty shook his head. "Forget it, forget it. Let's continue to lay low. The employer is very generous, and there are many Mercenary Groups in Greenland City. An opportunity will arise sooner or later."

The two mercenaries from the T0-level Mercenary Group worried silently.

Large corporations were difficult to deal with. There was too little information, and they couldn't even find the target.

"We could keep an eye on the Liu Clan. As far as I know, several second-rate Mercenary Groups might make a move tonight."

Liu Heavy Industries Branch, Laboratory 1339.

Lin Qi rubbed his temples. He hadn't felt knowledge entering his brain so quickly in a long time.

Opposite Lin Qi, ten M-level researchers sat on pins and needles.

"Does the human body's absorption of medicinal agents get affected by extraordinary professions, like Martial Artist and Knights, these two extraordinary professions..."

Here it comes!

It's here again!

Ever since the ten M-level researchers recommended study books to Lin Qi, he had started asking fatal questions like he was taking an exam.

This was what was called "not being ashamed to ask."

He felt no shame at all, locking his subordinates, who were of a lower rank than him, in the laboratory and bombarding them with questions!

Brainstorming was the most effective way to absorb knowledge.

The ten M-level researchers had bitter expressions.

Were these questions a beginner should be asking?

They couldn't answer them!

Why, in just one afternoon, had the big boss memorized the basic books? He even showed signs of understanding them thoroughly.

After a full two minutes, under Lin Qi's almost predatory gaze, one M-level researcher, racking his brain, managed to barely answer Lin Qi's question.

But Lin Qi was not satisfied.

It seemed that M-level researchers in pharmaceutics were just so-so.

He felt like he had already surpassed the M-level standard.

Why not find a few L-level researchers and continue my "not being ashamed to ask" session?
