In the cheerful ringtone, the look in Angus's eyes disappeared and he died completely. Cheng Lin sighed, waved his hand, recalled the combined fighting spirit to Black Banner, and then answered the phone.
"Hey, Sister Meng." Cheng Lin said with a smile.
There seemed to be some noise on the other end of the phone, and Meng Meng's voice came: "Where are you? The people from the Second Division blocked Yiyuan just now. I had to retreat outside, so I couldn't wait for you. Have you come out too?"
Where is it? I'll pick you up."
Cheng Lin looked at the desolate fields around him and the corpses on the ground, pursed his lips, and said, "I'm a little lost. Well, in this case, you can send me your location on WeChat and I'll find you."
"Okay, then come here quickly."
"good."
Cheng Lin turned off his phone and put it away. Without much delay, Cheng Lin quickly started cleaning the scene.
First of all, I searched Angus generally and found that there was indeed nothing valuable on him. The only valuable thing was the scroll of superpower blueprints.
He opened the "Spirit World Gate" with his right hand, dragged Angus in and stored it, and cleaned up the surrounding traces.
Then he picked up his speed, made a circle in the other direction, and rushed towards Meng Meng's location.
…
Senior Sister Meng was obviously a little scared about what happened tonight, and she felt relieved when she saw Cheng Lin. Cheng Lin pretended not to understand what was going on and asked a few questions, while Senior Sister Meng gave a general summary of the news she had learned.
Naturally, her information was not as detailed as Angus's confession.
According to the public statement of the Second Division, they were arresting a certain cultivator. They also claimed that the cultivator wanted to commit a crime in Yiyuan, but fortunately, the Second Division strangled him in the cradle, thus ensuring the safety of people's lives and property.
Cheng Lin grinned inwardly after hearing this. After this incident, the two of them no longer wanted to admire the moon. Senior Sister Meng sent Cheng Lin back to the hotel and then went home.
…
"Bang."
After closing the hotel door, Cheng Lin reached out and turned on the light. Seeing that the dark room became bright and warm, he finally calmed down from the incident just now.
Although he seemed to be doing this process with ease, he was actually very nervous.
Especially when he was controlling the fighting spirit to torture Angus, he kept scanning his surroundings with his superpowers, for fear that the Second Division would come over.
After all, if you want to intimidate Angus, you must show a certain amount of power, and this will also attract the attention of the Second Division.
"Fortunately, everything went well and the harvest was good."
Rubbing his cold cheeks, Cheng Lin said to himself.
There was wine in the hotel refrigerator. Cheng Lin picked up a bottle and poured it for himself as a toast. Then he took out the power map, glanced at it, and put it back.
It is indeed a fifth-grade superpower, but he cannot practice it yet, so he can only store it temporarily and try to learn it after he is promoted to fifth-grade.
However, the batch of supplies Angus promised was more practical.
"I don't know if what he said is true or not. Although synesthesia seems to have a certain ability to detect lies, this may not be accurate. I can't completely believe it. I still have to be cautious. What if Angus set a trap for me?
However, this possibility is very small. A trap that can threaten a fifth-grade person is not easy to set up. If he is really so thoughtful, he will not be ambushed by Trisi."
"But it's better not to pick it up for the time being, so as not to attract the attention of the Second Division. Wait a few days and wait for the news to subside. In the past few days, I should concentrate on repairing the glorious knight commander and imprinting the 'Charging Array'.
"
Cheng Lin drank the wine in the glass and made a decision silently.
…
…
In the next three days, Cheng Lin concentrated on the restoration work. During this period, he made some inquiries about Yiyuan. He heard that the casual cultivator was seriously injured and escaped. This made many people feel frightened, but a few astute people noticed this.
This is not a simple arrest case.
If it were an ordinary casual cultivator, how could he escape from the siege of the Second Division?
However, these have nothing to do with Cheng Lin. His daily job is to burn the "device" with ghost flames, and replenish the spiritual energy when it is consumed. At the same time, he deliberately slows down the progress, and finally repaired it three days later.
"Buzz~"
The moment he closed the panel, Cheng Lin was pleased to see that the gray eyes of the tall puppet in front of him were lit up and turned scarlet, and a slight startup sound came from its body.
The six-pointed star pattern on the charging base under his feet lit up, and for a moment it was brilliant. The spiritual energy ignited the puppet's body along the notches in the field. At this moment, the six-core puppet was finally resurrected from "death".
At the same time, Cheng Lin quickly took out his control center from the spirit world and tried to activate his administrator rights.
[Connectable devices detected nearby]
【Automatically connecting】
[Administrator rights are turned on, obtaining the highest control rights...]
【Get success!】
A string of electronic information was transmitted to his mind through the center. Immediately, the six-core puppet's eyes lowered and stared at Cheng Lin's face quietly. After a moment, they flickered twice.
It's like seeing each other again after a long separation.
"Successful."
Cheng Lin suppressed the joy in his heart and put the center away.
In his expectation, since all the projections are exactly the same, the puppet itself can theoretically be controlled through the center. Although the Demon Research Institute also controls a center, he has already determined from Wu Mingxun's introduction that the Demon Research Institute controls
He only had superficial control, but Cheng Lin had the highest authority.
This means that as long as the connection is successful.
One day in the future, as long as the Knight Commander appears within a certain range near Cheng Lin, he can bypass the Demon Research Institute and directly control it.
"It's a pity that I can't take you away."
Cheng Lin sighed with some regret, and heard the clatter of Senior Sister Meng's high heels coming from the corridor.
"Cheng Lin, what happened? I heard a noise." Senior Sister Meng pushed open the door and entered.
But all they saw was that Cheng Lin had stepped down from the ladder and was slowly taking off his gloves. Behind him was the six-core puppet that had woken up: "Sister Meng, please inform Dean Wu that the repair has been completed."
…
Although it had long been determined that it could be repaired, Wu Mingxun was still very excited when it was actually completed.
On the one hand, the efforts made by the Demon Research Institute in the past few months to repair the remaining parts were not in vain, which means that the entire repair method was successful.
On the other hand, this also means the birth of a brand-new sixth-grade member of Xia Kingdom.
Even under the background that Shi Shengcun has broken through the eighth level, the birth of a strong sixth-level person is still an extremely important matter.
In this matter, Cheng Lin naturally made a great contribution. Senior Sister Meng made a few remarks and successfully helped him gain another benefit.
"From now on, you are an official researcher and enjoy the corresponding benefits."
Looking at the brand new ID in front of him, Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows.
According to Senior Sister Meng, although the word "assistant" was only removed, the level has been promoted two levels in a row. Not only has the salary been greatly improved, but also he enjoys a high professional title.
"Of course, I know you don't care much about these. Well, with this certificate, you can enjoy a 15% discount on material purchases."
Well... it increased by one percentage point...
Cheng Lin silently calculated it and expressed that he was quite satisfied.
…
…
After finishing things here, he needs to return to the academy, but Cheng Lin has other plans for this.
He directly applied through the Jiusi app for the opportunity to practice at the No. 16 Spiritual Land that he gained after advancing to the fourth level. This meant that he needed to go to the Spiritual Land to practice in the next two weeks.
Before that, Cheng Lin finally found an opportunity to go to the warehouse Angus mentioned. After confirming its safety, he found the "reward" paid to him by the other party.
A batch of supplies packed in alloy boxes that shield psychic energy fluctuations, including more than 200 pieces of high-quality ore, 100 bottles of combat recovery potions, and 50 alloy standard weapons.
Among them, the weapons were of little use to Cheng Lin and could only be thrown into the corner of the spiritual world to gather dust. The rest were very practical.
"When we build the 'Charging Base' later, we will also need spiritual ore as energy source. Now we have found a solution."
Cheng Lin thought with great relief.
He has already finished rubbing the field map of the base using his powers and duties, but it will take time to install it. At least he needs to find a large enough foundation.
At the same time, the last barrier was used up, and Cheng Lin still needed to find time to carve a new one.
There is also gold powder... He has never found such materials for the spirit gathering ceremony.
Mainly because he didn't have time to grind it out slowly... After careful consideration, Cheng Lin decided to postpone the "Gathering of Spirits" ceremony.
Although after Shi Shengcun broke through the eighth level, the aura of heaven and earth improved slightly, it was not much after all, and it was still one level behind projection.
"Otherwise, wait until the next time you explore the projection before starting the ritual. The total amount of spiritual energy absorbed must be several times more than the real world. Only in this way can you maximize the use of the ritual. However, this is also risky. There will be a large number of monks during the exploration.
Among them, once the ceremony is started, they are likely to be alerted... This needs to be weighed and arranged based on the specific situation of the next projection."
Sitting on the plane returning, Cheng Lin looked at the blue sky outside the window and thought in his heart.
And secretly made a decision, after he completed the training in No. 16 Spiritual Land and improved his cultivation level, he was ready to start a new round of deductions.
