The news was like a pebble thrown into calm water, instantly causing ripples in Command Center late at night.
The officer on duty did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the matter to all levels.
Soon, Zhang Weidong, who had been resting, was woken up urgently, and Ren Yinuo also rushed over. Even some other high-level non-military settlements were alerted.
When they gathered at Command Center and confirmed that Zhu Peng continued to report that the increase had exceeded 800 points, everyone's faces were filled with shock.
"Is this what it is?"
Zhang Weidong immediately thought of something, and an astonishing brilliance burst out in his eyes.
"Breakthrough! Major Lin is breaking through Stardust Rank!"
Ren Yinuo's tone was affirmative, with irrepressible excitement, "He said it would take ten days, and today is the ninth day and he has advanced it!"
Without any hesitation, Zhang Weidong immediately led a group of senior executives and quickly rushed to the rooftop of Old Department Store Building.
They carefully pushed open the fire door, and sure enough they saw Lin Yi sitting quietly under a simple shed in the distance, surrounded by an invisible but heart-stopping energy field, and the air seemed to be slightly distorted by it.
No one dared to come forward to disturb, everyone held their breath and stood far away, their eyes fixed on the figure, as if they were witnessing the birth of a miracle.
Ren Yinuo quickly and silently set up the camera to record everything precious.
Time passed slowly in silence, and every minute and every second seemed extremely long.
But no one showed any impatience. Their hearts were full of anticipation, tension, and a sense of historical participation.
The numerical value is continuously transmitted to the intercom in the hands of the adjutant Zhang Weidong through the continuous report of Zhu Peng, and is passed to everyone, 100012001400
When the value displayed on the terminal finally exceeded the 1,500 mark and continued to rise unabated, the crowd finally couldn't help but burst into low-pitched cheers.
"1500, more than 1500!"
"This is really great..."
Zhang Weidong clenched his fists suddenly, and his bloodshot eyes, which were covered with bloodshot eyes due to long-term lack of sleep, burst out with unprecedented excitement.
Several senior officers around him also looked excited. They exchanged looks with each other and could see the relief and ecstasy in each other's eyes.
1,500 points, this number has extraordinary significance to them.
In addition to the nearest Nest No. 3 in the settlement, which is like a serious enemy, there is also Nest marked as No. 4 in the farther southeast area.
That Nest has a rather radical style. Not only that, based on limited reconnaissance and painful lessons, they confirmed that there are three Leader Rank Abyss Beast among them who always act in groups.
According to the investigators carrying Source Energy Detector, who came to check closely at one time, the Source Energy strength of each of the three monsters was stable at around 1500 points.
The existence of those three Leader Rank Abyss Beast is like a sword of Damocles, hanging above the heads of the entire settlement.
The rescue team did not dare to approach the area where they were active, and could only watch as the survivor signals in that area disappeared one by one.
The senior executives didn't say anything, but they felt a huge stone weighing on their hearts, full of powerlessness and deep worries.
Once those three Abyss Beast wander near the settlement one day, or pursue a fleeing survivor and get close to the settlement, the existing defense force may be difficult to resist.
Now, Lin Yi has not only successfully broken through, but its Source Energy strength has surpassed that frightening numerical threshold in one fell swoop.
This is not just a simple level breakthrough, it also means that the human side finally has the individual strength to confront or even suppress those advanced Abyss Beast.
The confidence boost and strategic significance this brings are immeasurable.
At this time, the numbers were still soaring.
160017001800
Everyone's mood also continued to rise, and the previous worries and depression were swept away by this powerful new force.
At this moment, Lin Yi looked at Source Crystal in the abyss, feeling quite satisfied.
After a period of supplementation, at this time, around each Core Source Crystal, nine rotating Secondary Source Crystal gradually condensed, like a miniature galaxy, mysterious and beautiful.
When the last Secondary Source Crystal was completely formed and twenty "miniature galaxies" were stably suspended in the Source Sea, with weak energy connections between them, forming a more complex and powerful whole, he let out a long breath.
The energy in the body is flowing endlessly, but it no longer has the bulging feeling before, but is filled with a powerful, full, and controllable sense of power.
Stardust Rank, completed.
"I kept everyone waiting for a long time."
Lin Yi thought in his mind that he had already sensed the arrival of everyone, but at that time it was inconvenient to say hello when Secondary Source Crystal was gathering together in one go.
It wasn't until Realm was now stable that he slowly put down the last two pieces of Source Energy Crystal that had turned dull in his hands, opened his eyes, and stood up.
And similarly, the depressing aura around him also slowly converged and returned to calm.
Zhang Weidong made a gesture to the deputy beside him. The deputy immediately lowered his head and asked in a low voice into the intercom. Then he raised his head, with an excited expression on his face, and reported excitedly, "Report! 2000 points, stable!"
Two thousand points!
This number was like a bolt of lightning, striking the nerves of everyone present.
Zhang Weidong took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart, and an extremely bright smile slowly bloomed on his face.
He straightened his collar, led everyone, and walked towards the young man who had just created a miracle.
Seeing Zhang Weidong and his group approaching with uncontrollable excitement, Lin Yi showed a faint smile on his face and took the initiative to greet them.
"Staff Officer Lin, congratulations on the successful breakthrough!"
Zhang Weidong was the first to speak, with a loud voice. With sincere joy and admiration, he solemnly saluted Lin Yi with a military salute.
Everyone behind him also saluted and congratulated him, with fiery eyes.
"Thank you Captain Zhang, thank you all."
Lin Yi returned the favor with the same tone as before, without any change due to the breakthrough.
Zhang Weidong shook his head with emotion, his tone still filled with shock. "We just asked the sentinel, Staff Officer Lin, your breakthrough is really not small. Source Energy's strength has soared from less than 200 points to 2000 points in one breath."
"This is really eye-opening for us and makes us feel completely relieved."
Lin Yi smiled and explained, "Captain Zhang is over-praised. This breakthrough is a jump in the level of life. Source Energy condenses from gaseous state to solid state Star Dust. It can be regarded as a qualitative improvement in the big Realm breakthrough. That's why the span seems so big. There will be no such good things later."
"And, to be honest, this is my first time trying it. I am not completely sure. I am afraid that if I fail, I will make everyone worried, so I first found a secluded place to give it a try."
"It was a lucky success and it finally lived up to everyone's expectations."
Lin Yi's words not only explained the reasons for the sharp increase in values, but also cleverly resolved the question of why he broke through alone. He seemed humble and candid.
Then, he looked at everyone and said slightly apologetically, "It's so late and I've disturbed everyone to make a special trip. I'm really sorry. You will be responsible for the operation of the entire settlement tomorrow. It's a heavy responsibility. Please take the time to go back and rest."
"I have just made a breakthrough here. I still need some time to stabilize Realm and get familiar with the new power. I also have new ideas for some of the exercises and combat skills I have practiced before. It's just a good time to practice while the iron is hot. You don't need to accompany me here."
Although everyone wanted to see with their own eyes the power of Stardust Rank's drill, they also understood that what Lin Yi said was reasonable. The operation of the settlement was inseparable from them, and there would be plenty of opportunities to see in the future.
Zhang Weidong nodded. "Okay, Staff Officer Lin you have just broken through and really need to retreat and consolidate. Then we won't disturb you. If you need anything, please let the guard notify me at any time!"
He gave some more instructions to the guards who stayed at the entrance to the rooftop, and then left with a group of senior executives who were still excited.
Lin Yi turned his eyes to Ren Yinuo who was about to put away the camera and follow him away:
"Captain Ren, please wait a moment."
Ren Yinuo stopped. "Staff Officer Lin, do you have any other instructions?"
"The breakthrough just now was mainly carried out in the body Source Sea. There are no abnormalities on the outside. I can't see anything in the recording, so I didn't notify you in advance."
Lin Yi explained, "Next, I plan to practice using the techniques under the new Realm. This can provide some reference."
When Ren Yinuo heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he nodded quickly. "Okay! Thank you Staff Officer Lin!"
Being able to record the images of the first Stardust Rank expert practicing the exercises is of immeasurable value.
"However." She hesitated for a moment and asked in a requesting tone, "I wonder if you can wait for me for a while? The news that you successfully broke through to Stardust Rank is too important. I must report General Staff Command immediately."
"Okay, you can go ahead." Lin Yi expressed understanding.
Ren Yinuo immediately left quickly and immediately sent out the blockbuster news that "Lin Yi has successfully broken through to Stardust Rank, and the strength of Source Energy has stabilized at 2000 points."
