Chapter 96: 088 Ready 2 (Thank you Lanzhou, not the Alliance Hierarch)

“Three different categories of goods shipped out consecutively?”

Li Chengyi’s heart stirred, finally finding the core purpose of this quest.

Although the truth of the matter had yet to be verified, at least he now had a direction and a target in mind.

But amidst his excitement, he noticed a line of crooked, small characters below.

‘What is the essence of a person?’

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Li Chengyi looked at this line of text and felt something was off.

With a cursory comparison, he immediately knew why something felt wrong.

The handwriting, the strokes, and the style of these characters were completely different from those of Zhong Hui’s above.

The previous handwriting was neat and orderly, conveying a strong sense of seriousness. But this line of small characters was indeed very messy and sloppy, as if…

As if it were written by a child who had just learned to write!

Such an important notebook would unlikely allow others to scribble in it carelessly.

So, who could have added this line afterward?

A flicker of doubt crossed Li Chengyi’s mind.

But now was not the time for him to ponder other matters; having obtained the method to leave the Silent Store, he had to immediately make other preparations.

He must do as much preparatory work as possible.

Thereupon, without continuing to read further, he quickly packed up his things, and early the next morning, he and Song Ran returned to Suiyang together.

All along the way, Song Ran kept sighing, thinking Li Chengyi had given up on the investigation and that he would have to storm the Silent Store on his own thereafter.

And in this area, the company couldn’t be of help, which left him feeling quite helpless.

The forces mobilized by Utopia were too many and too powerful; they could not possibly contend with them.

After all, the other party was an international terror organization.

Li Chengyi, on the other hand, didn’t say much along the way but instead comforted Song Ran a few times.

A person’s hope for survival should never be wholly entrusted to someone else.

He couldn’t expect Song Ran and the company’s other employees to risk their lives for him for the sake of some salary.

He wasn’t Boss Xindela; that was unrealistic.

And even if he were Boss Xindela, the only ones truly willing to risk their lives to investigate the Blind Spot with him were Blind Spot individuals like Song Ran and Sima Gui.

Back to Suiyang.

Li Chengyi immediately contacted Boss Xindela to undergo Mecha Engineer drug enhancement.

He must enhance his strength as much as possible before entering the Blind Spot.

From Zhong Hui’s notebook, it was clear that the Blood Exchange Bottle brought out from the Silent Store was unreliable.

The subsequent information in the notebook had no issues, but the handwriting seemed different from earlier on.

Li Chengyi didn’t know why this was, but he felt that the blood exchange likely had a significant impact on Zhong Hui.

As for what this impact was, he didn’t know since it wasn’t written in the notebook.

22nd.

Inside a tea restaurant close to the government office building in Suiyang City.

Li Chengyi, dressed in a gray tracksuit with a large owl logo on the chest, strode into the restaurant and sat down at a table for two by the window on the left side.

“Boss Xindela sent me. Mr. Wilson?” He looked across at the tall, thin Caucasian man already seated and stretched out his hand.

“Hmm. Li Chengyi, right? Your boss has paid for your customization fee. You want to follow the pure-blooded Mechanist route? That’s not difficult; the pureblood route is quite straightforward actually,”

The Caucasian man shook hands with him and twisted the black watch on his wrist.

A small projection hole on the side of the watch suddenly cast a square screen of light.

On the tabletop, the screen began to display a series of colorful images, all related to gene medicine and pureblood enhancement.

In the animation, a little figure first undergoes an injection, making his muscles stronger and his bones tougher, then dons an exoskeleton armor; the internal and external enhancements allow him to withstand attacks with great defensive power.

“This route is simple, but due to current limits of bio-tech in various countries, the most advanced is White Star’s quick reaction route. This is the most suitable special route for Mechanists, dramatically increasing nerve reaction speed, muscle response speed, and allowing for the recording of patterned muscle memory. However, the side effect is that it will reduce your absolute muscle strength,”

The man named Wilson began to introduce the direction for pure-blooded Mechanists quite professionally.

“Then there’s the traditional pure pharmacological enhancement of Yi Country or what is called the hybrid enhancement route,”

He paused.

“Yi Country’s culture emphasizes not changing the body’s physiology as much as possible and combining personal training to completely absorb medication. They then integrate it into so-called schools of thought and martial skills according to the Flying Yi style they choose to help adjust their training and drug enhancement routes.

As a result, many different factions have emerged, each with its own strengths. If you need such a route, I can introduce you to the right people.”

Li Chengyi was slightly taken aback as he listened.

The enhancement paths of Yi Country did indeed resemble the martial arts sects he had read about in novels.

Different sects using various medications in combination with training methods (practices) to enhance themselves.

“What sort of pathways does Yi Country offer? I’m somewhat intrigued,” he said tentatively.

“First, you need to choose the right Flying Yi. Once you’ve committed to a Flying Yi in Yi Country, you begin training. It becomes quite troublesome to switch later,” Wilson shook his head, “That’s why I personally recommend the quick reaction route of White Star. It’s the most popular, adaptable, and versatile pureblood pathway in the world right now. It’ll also make it easier for you to switch Flying Yi at any time.”

“Let’s put that aside for now; I want to ask if I can strengthen my body first without buying a Flying Yi and just wear Exoskeleton Armor. Is that possible?”

“It’s possible… but it’s very cost-ineffective… Both require a degree of compatibility. With a Flying Yi, your strength will be greatly augmented,” Wilson nonchalantly ordered a milk coffee—specified without sugar—and then his gaze fell on Li Chengyi.

“Of course, you’re the customer, so what you say goes.”

“Among Yi Country’s methods, are there any that enhance my reaction speed, physical strength, and the toughness of my flesh and bones?” Li Chengyi asked earnestly.

“You’re thinking about the Semi-Cyborg approach, leaning toward the biomechanical side,” Wilson laughed, seeing Li Chengyi wanted to argue, he waved his hand.

“Don’t disagree, being a Reinforced Human doesn’t mean you have to implant metal modules into your body. Biomechanical transformation counts too. There are quite a few people like that. Years ago, the United Front and the Dannier Company had many such individuals.”

He paused.

“In that case, the options available to you are quite limited. There are only two comprehensive biomechanical transformation pathways for Mecha Engineers that are still preserved today.”

“Which two?” Li Chengyi couldn’t worry about the specifics now; Blind Spot could appear at any time, and he had to make all preparations as quickly as possible.

“Legion and Earth,” Wilson replied indifferently, “These two pathways are parts extracted from the complete Reinforced Human route. However, compared to biomechanical transformation, full Reinforced Humans will add a few offensive and defensive modules. They are also the preferred choice of many pure-blooded Mechanists.”

“Legion is a pathway exclusive to Yi Country’s law enforcement, and Earth is a common route available for commercial and civilian use. I recommend Earth; it offers abundant resources, its medicinal effects are safe and well established, and ingredients are not easily controlled.”

“Earth…” Li Chengyi frowned, “Then, Earth it is!”

He didn’t have time to think it over.

“Good.” Wilson seemed well-prepared, as he reached beside his seat for a silver briefcase, placed it on the table, and opened it.

He took out a delicate injector the thickness of a finger and handed it to Li Chengyi.

“You’re not allergic to acyl-type medications, are you?”

“No,” Li Chengyi responded.

“Drink it down after opening it; the effect will take two days to manifest. The whole enhancement process will take a week.

After completion, your body’s recovery ability and metabolic rate will increase by 15% to 20%. This is a temporary boost to provide a foundation for subsequent enhancements,” Wilson explained.

“Remember, no matter which enhancement path you choose, there are side effects, and they aren’t small. Our body is a complete and harmonious entity by nature; sudden changes will inevitably cause harm, so the side effects are significant.”

“Understood,” Li Chengyi nodded seriously.

He accepted the injector, looked at the label and the production date attached to it, then opened it and downed the contents in one gulp.

“Then, I’ll see you in a week,” Wilson stood up, shook hands with Li Chengyi, and without hesitation turned and left.

As he watched him promptly stand up and leave, Li Chengyi sat in his place, pondering the preparations he needed to make next.

‘The second evolution of the Wisteria Flowers must be completed as soon as possible.’ The second evolution wouldn’t improve strength, but it would grant the Floral Dress an additional feature.

That feature would allow the Floral Dress to become invisible, integrating into any external protective gear.

With that, his safety coefficient would be greatly increased.

At least, he wouldn’t have to worry about being shot or ambushed when not wearing the Floral Dress on a regular day.

Doot doot doot…

As he was contemplating the details, his phone rang.

Taking out his phone, Li Chengyi was momentarily surprised. The caller ID displayed two characters: Ding Ning.

Ding Ning?

This senior Mecha Engineer, who had taught him much about mecha engineering and was a former subordinate of Boss Xindela, was calling now—undoubtedly an initiative from his boss.

Li Chengyi didn’t dare to neglect it and quickly answered the call.

“Brother Ding? What brings you to call me?” he asked politely.

“Your boss asked me to purchase a Flying Yi for you. What type do you want?” Ding Ning’s first sentence made Li Chengyi tremble slightly.

“Really!?”

“Of course. With a budget of twenty million, I suggest you choose something simple, without smart modules. Otherwise, you might face malfunctions when entering the Blind Spot,” Ding Ning replied.

In fact, when he received the call from Xindela, he too was startled.

Such treatment, Xindela had only shown to him when he was still a weak and youthful himself, and later, Ding Ning indeed lived up to the expectations, crossing from amateur to a high-ranking professional Mecha Engineer.

And now, he finally saw the same treatment being extended to a second person.

“I want one that’s durable, simple to operate, and powerful. I don’t have high demands for speed,” Li Chengyi quickly provided his requirements.

With the Floral Dress as a foundation for defense and resilience, the Flying Yi would serve primarily as cover. Thus minimizing wear and tear, which equated to cost savings, was paramount.

Because wear meant expenses.

And he was strapped for cash.

“Come to the Brain Power Calculation Center now and test your current brainpower,” Ding Ning instructed. “I’ve brought a few on-hand Flying Yi with me. Maybe you can find one that suits you?”

“Great! I’ll be there right away!”

Li Chengyi’s spirits lifted.
