Qilin-Headed Brat / Someone Did All That Work for Nothing!

"Hey, Tai He, you'd better hurry up." Jie Zhen suddenly stopped again, glanced at Tai He, and said, "Or, should we tell her to slow down?"

"Don't do anything reckless."

Jie Zhen pushed the documents in front of him to Tai He and said, "This mistake is neither too big nor too small, it's just right."

Just enough time to waste Lin Qingyan's time.

This is another document pointing to Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals.

However, unlike the previous document in which Rhodes Island participated in drafting, this one contains Rhodes Island's "culpability".

The gist of the matter is that Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals was illegally manufacturing weapons in Lungmen, plotting something sinister.

However, the order for "police weapon" parts from the Lungmen office was actually quite legitimate.

The truly clandestine batch of "water pipes" was not mentioned in the documents.

Tai He sensed something was wrong and glanced at the timestamp.

"Today's?" he asked doubtfully. "It should have been done last night."

"Someone is probably trying to use the bigger picture for personal gain," Jie Zhen quipped. "I've seen Rhodes Island before; they're quite close to Lord Wei. Even if what they say isn't untrue, they're just a slick liar."

"That's not surprising then." Tai He nodded.

Someone is seeking personal gain; this refers to Oute.

Of course, strictly speaking, Oute only slightly fueled the flames... As a powerful force that had taken control of the slums, even with the support of the Lungmen Guard Department and the Rat King, many people were still envious.

With just a slight nudge and a reminder of the stakes from last night, someone will naturally realize that this could be an excellent opportunity—even if it fails, given the seriousness of the document, it will be difficult to trace it back to them.

But the target that Oute intended to deal with was none other than them.

By noon.

"Stinky otter?" W poked at the mashed potatoes in his bowl, then waved his hand in front of Oute's eyes. "What are you thinking about? Eat your food!"

Hurry up and finish eating so I can explain to you the exact plan for retreat!

Oute looked up and reached out to grasp the Sarkaz girl's hand that was blocking him from the terminal screen.

"The situation at Lungmen."

W merely feigned resistance before giving up.

With great enthusiasm, she leaned forward towards Oute in a slightly awkward posture, supporting herself with one hand, her breasts swaying slightly.

"What's going on? Can I take a look?"

"An expected but unexpected situation."

Oute's speech was unclear.

Kal'tsit cautioned, "Doc... Doctor. Oute, it would be best to swallow your food before speaking."

You still remember to intentionally distance yourself, but W, being an intuitive person, won't care about feigned indifference!

Oute asked Kal'tsit, "I've already cleared out the lines. Should I contact the office?"

"Doc Otter, the work at the office is under your arrangement..." She suddenly realized halfway through. "Understood."

"No way! What kind of riddle are you otters talking about!?"

"The bait I prepared to punish the clowns has caught a large fish."

Oute changed his address and said, "Da Lin."

Chapter 176 Scaled Green

A blonde beauty with Yan features stood outside the Lungmen office. Her originally smooth long hair swirled slightly around her "antlers," but a few rebellious strands, covered in electrical charge, stood up and pointed skyward.

Lin Qingyan was not wearing her signature red robe; instead, a casual dress that exposed her shoulders perfectly accentuated her graceful yet powerful physique.

"For a healthcare company, your security measures are surprisingly good."

Upon seeing the belated arrival of the Earthspirit, Lin Qingyan's words carried a hint of aggression.

My meeting with Ch'en this morning was not very pleasant.

The female dragon appeared upright, but she displayed a clumsy yet effective approach. She didn't answer a single question Lin Qingyan was trying to understand about Rhodes Island.

On the contrary, Lin Qingyan learned a bunch of random things:

For example, one of the most likely heirs of the Swire family, whose business was nearly half destroyed last night, actually works for the Lungmen Guard Department, and his cosmetics can even be used as weapons...

Left with no other choice, they returned to Jie Zhen and Tai He's place. And as expected, they handed over the document containing the information about Rhodes Island as the "defendant" to Lin Qingyan.

The seasoned Lin Nu could naturally see that Rhodes Island was almost blameless in this matter, but... she also needed this excuse to come to Rhodes Island herself to investigate.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Miss Lin."

The Earthspirit looked exhausted, and it's worth mentioning that she still wasn't wearing the "Dream-Sleep Device" headband that was just for show. No matter how long this trick can fool the outside world, if Oute continues to act as he pleases, many operators will probably soon realize the tricks of "Mind Flayer".

Good grief, are you trying to subtly and implicitly portray the image of "Li Liberi Mind Flayer in disguise," without actively admitting or refusing to do so?

What a scumbag!

Faced with Lin Qingyan's subtle accusations, Oute completely ignored them.

Earthspirit parted his thin lips slightly and said bluntly, "As a security contractor hired by Governor Wei, it is entirely reasonable and legal for us to independently produce a certain number of police weapons."

This actually answers the question about security work, but such a tone usually provokes hostility from the person speaking to them.

But Lin Qingyan nodded approvingly. "That's exactly right."

"The Yan employed a similar decision-making process when dealing with the south."

"Now, the infected in Lungmen have formed a unique identity, creating an independent 'tribe.' Its handling should be similar to that of the Tu..." Lin Qingyan stopped abruptly, saying, "Your work and Lord Wei's decisions are very valuable. Perhaps, one day in the future, your actions will become a significant chapter in history."

Tusi (chieftain)

The slum problem in Lungmen is essentially similar to that of the Tusi (chieftains).

However, unlike the chieftains, they were not entirely immune to the "royal influence." On the contrary, to some extent, they were rejected by the "royal influence" due to infection.

This inevitably leads to an extreme emotional distortion, a fall from the human realm to hell.

Earthspirit shook his head, Oute said, "What drives Rhodes Island to participate in the slum security contracting work is not Reputation."

Reputation is invisible and intangible. Although in the hands of those skilled at using it, reputation can be another powerful weapon...

While this may not apply to those in power, Terra's intercity communication channels are quite limited, and a reputation in Lungmen may take a long time to reach the ears of people in other Mobile City.

Therefore, the greatest value of this thing to Oute will be slightly reduced.

"Governor Wei's offer is quite exorbitant." Earthspirit's expression was icy, as if stating an ironclad rule of the universe. "Leaving aside the standard price, he has also opened up a considerable amount of research resources, enough to save our cause from many detours."

Lin Qingyan wasn't in high spirits. He nodded and said, "Lead the way."

This skips the step of "inviting her in to sit down."

At other times, Lin Qingyan might have asked further questions: What are the standard prices? What are the research resources? What detours were taken?

But right now, she has only one thing on her mind.

"..."

Caprinae did not respond to Lin Qingyan immediately; for a brief moment, her pupils vaguely revealed a ferocious, demonic rectangle.

To reiterate: the Terra's senses are far more acute than those of the Oute.

This ship's location.

Just as Huang was sweating it out on the training field, her name suddenly came over the loudspeaker.

"Elite Operator Blaze, please proceed to the operations room immediately."

"Repeating, Elite Operator Blaze..."

Office.

"Miss Lin, please come with me."

Earthspirit, with his hands in his pockets, walked in front of Lin Qingyan.

Although Qilin wasn't in high spirits, the militarized nature of the office still startled her. "I'm a little curious, who is the hypothetical enemy behind these facilities?"

Without hesitation, Oute replied, "Thugs."

"What kind of thugs deserve this kind of preparation?" Lin Qingyan's talent in the military field was not as prominent as her talent in the fields of lightning and magic. "I think even the Lungmen Guard Department, if unwilling to bear the casualties of a direct assault, can only resort to blockade."

Caprinae turned back, Oute said, "The office is located on a shifting site and lacks independent basic military supplies reserves and production capabilities. If the Lungmen Guard Department wants to besiege this place, they only need to cut off the water and electricity supply."

However, before the impact of the water and power outages on the offices expands to a certain extent, Oute will complete the emergency mobilization work...

Yes, that scoundrel made such a contingency plan.

However, Rhodes Island and Lungmen have a solid foundation for future cooperation, Oute's design of this plan is more of a preview for future offices in other countries.

Lin Qingyan nodded slightly.

To her, "Earthspirit's " words sounded more or less like a show of weakness and an indication of cooperation.

"As for the thugs, I think Miss Lin, you must have seen them with your own eyes."

Oute deflected blame, saying, "The nature and slogans of the Reunion Movement make it extremely easy for them to gain followers in places like slums."

On the Terra, what is least lacking is violent groups that can use the pretext of militarized offices.

"The poor of Lungmen, living in hardship, have picked up many low-class street fighting techniques. Coupled with the Infected's fierce Originium Arts, they pose a significant threat to our medical workers." Oute answered Lin Qingyan's question while pointing to the tents beneath the "high-rise," saying, "Because it's only a short time, many people who lost their homes in that day's conflict are temporarily staying here."

Lin Qingyan said casually, "You handled that matter quite well—you even had plenty of energy to protect civilians."

She wanted to lure out a particularly outstanding Elite Operator.

"The person who commanded the operation at this base back then, I remember from the Lungmen Guard Department's files, was named... Huang?"

Chapter 177 Someone Worked for Nothing!

The former Vice Minister of the Dali Temple, she concealed her true intentions very well.

For well-known reasons, although there are various speculations about this case in the player community, due to the lack of official information, Oute does not know what the case Lin Qingyan is pursuing is.
