Chapter 417: Chapter 326: There’s No Need for People Who Are Used at Will_1

"I know, I know, it’s just for the next couple of days. When the time comes, I’ll just send everything over together. I’ll look it up online," Chiang Wei waved her hand in boredom. Her recent decisions to stay indoors were still related to the previous infiltrator incident. In plain terms, the secrets of the World Security Department were just too big.

No... it’s not that the secrets were too big, they were too unique, plus there were too many people in that fortress back then. Some information leaked out afterward, causing certain individuals to set their sights on the World Security Department. It wasn’t the Heaven’s Will Organization; that organization was considered well-known in this world. However, they picked the wrong time to mess with the hardest stance of the World Security Department.

As a result, the Heaven’s Will Organization became the target to be dissected. The remaining infiltrating forces didn’t dare to collide with the World Security Department head-on, but that didn’t mean they were out of ideas.

After the identity of the previous infiltrator was revealed, they had a very clear target in Chiang Wei, which made her recent situation somewhat unsafe. However, the World Security Department had also ramped up their efforts in the past few days, and it wouldn’t be long before this matter would come to an end.

But it still annoyed her a bit.

The little assistant nodded, handed over the briefcase, and quickly ran back. Chiang Wei yawned lightly, and after going through the documents Zheng Yichen had sent over, she casually clicked on a small video to watch, which also came from Zheng Yichen.

The videographer was the AI Lilith. The little assistant standing beside her straightened up eagerly, but her gaze curiously shifted towards the video Chiang Wei was watching.

Chiang Wei, propping up her chin, said, "A world with three suns, oh my goodness, isn’t that thrilling?"

Seeing such an environment, Chiang Wei could understand why that world had developed a unique light path technology. As she continued to watch, she slightly raised her eyebrows—the video started with documenting the local customs and then shifted to other records.

The phenomenon of Three Glory in the sky was originally brought by the Boundary Breaking Faction. This world’s Three Glory phenomenon wasn’t continuous; it appeared only at specific times and lasted for a short duration. The perpetual Three Glory certainly brought severe negative effects to this world.

A great number of creatures had their brains fried due to the influence of the Three Glory. Although the chaos caused by the Boundary Breaking Faction was resolved, it brought incalculable losses to that world.

Looking at a photo of a massive sandworm, Chiang Wei felt a mix of sentiment and relief: "Our world doesn’t have any special environmental characteristics, which is nice..."

Worlds with special environments suffer more when they are exploited. Since their world lacked such unique environments, any impacts felt were more or less one-off incidents—or rather, before any real anomalies appeared, nobody noticed anything amiss.

"And this bug..." Chiang Wei felt overwhelmed as she looked at the information tagged in the photo. Without any special powers or superhuman resilience to the environment, how to deal with such a creature... If Zheng Yichen had a super weapon, he might be able to deal with it, but at that time, he only had some custom-made weapons.

Was this even a creature that could be killed?

Dusk mercenaries and Proxy Agents were just too dangerous. No, the Proxy Agents were even more dangerous. Quite a few of them from her side returned alive, although with losses, but the casualty rate wasn’t considered high. They placed great importance on the survival capabilities of Dusk mercenaries.

The Dusk mercenaries who returned alive brought back a lot of useful things and technologies, especially when they encountered technological worlds. The computers they paired with played an important role, allowing them to extract a lot of technology and other data from some secret databases.

However, some bad news came from the Dusk mercenaries native to this world; these were obtained after communicating with Dusk mercenaries from other worlds. The Boundary Breaking Faction had conjured new powers, they could perform Descent of God, which made fighting against them even more difficult.

But such cases were not widespread. In this world, the likelihood of such phenomena happening in terrestrial environments was not high. In contrast, it was different in more extreme environments. The Dusk mercenaries in their world had mainly encountered low-environment worlds so far, so they hadn’t experienced many such scenarios, and those who did... probably couldn’t make it back.

"Really, the World Security Department had only just been established for how long, and the enemies have already upgraded. But such entities haven’t really seen us as enemies, have they?" Chiang Wei mused, propping up her chin. She wasn’t clear about the state of the Great World, but considering the development practices of such a world, what threat could their world possibly pose to the Great World?

At most, they could only defend themselves, and even self-protection was based on Environmental Adjustment. However, recognizing the Proxy Agents was a unique trump card for them. By being aware of Proxy Agents, they could take precautions just in case a Boundary Breaker re-emerged. If a Descent of God occurred, they would try to contact a Proxy Agent.

"Investment is still necessary... I’m going to take a nap." Chiang Wei yawned.

On Zheng Yichen’s side, he looked at the items in the storage locker. There were quite a few things on Chiang Wei’s end, while Liu Hongzhao’s locker remained the same as before. That was normal since the transportation on that side was inconvenient, and they wouldn’t use the Dusk Cathedral as a place of work like Chiang Wei did.

After retrieving the reply meant for Chiang Wei and reviewing it, Zheng Yichen felt assured. The weapons provided by them would be delivered along with the battle suit that Zheng Yichen needed, and there would also be a very detailed instruction manual.

"That should do it," Zheng Yichen returned to the interior of the cathedral and glanced at Tia not far away. Up till now, nothing of value had appeared; Tia had not notified Zheng Yichen of anything, which he found quite regrettable. The things he wanted were too hard to come by, not to mention that a group of Dusk mercenaries had already died in the Hazy City world...

"Hey, do you have time? There’s something here that you need to come and see." Ahn Qi’s call came through. Zheng Yichen looked around and, not seeing any familiar figures, he sighed. It had been a while since he last saw Hunter Arno.

"Don’t you need to maintain your bike?" Ahn Qi glanced at the motorcycle Zheng Yichen was riding and asked. She didn’t mention providing a new vehicle; the Ahn family’s technology wasn’t always capable of improving. The recent upgrades were minimal, and the performance of the new vehicles was no different from the one Zheng Yichen was using now; some parts were even inferior.

"At Dusk, there are nuns who maintain this thing; it’s quite useful."

Ahn Qi nodded and stopped talking about vehicle maintenance. She drove ahead, and while driving, she looked at Zheng Yichen, who was following behind with a helmet on, through the rearview mirror. Earlier, when they were talking, she could see that part of his hair inside the opened helmet had turned black again.

There was no change in appearance; he still looked not fully grown. Clearly, until his body’s overdrawn state recovered, he was not going to grow any further.

Inside Ahn Ke’s research facility, Ahn Qi let out a soft breath. Previously, this was a place to avoid whenever possible; now, it had become a frequent destination.

"You know about the Essence of Life, right? Some results have come out from the research on that substance. Ahn Ke believes that it could accelerate the recovery of your body, so she asked you to come and take a look."

"Are you sure this isn’t just her wanting to conduct some experiment?" Zheng Yichen asked somewhat skeptically.

"You ask her."

In Ahn Ke’s laboratory, the owner of the lab was holding a test tube with a ruby-like liquid inside. As it was gently shaken, it produced an enticing luster, one that was filled with the breath of life, firmly capturing people’s attention.

Ahn Ke noticed Zheng Yichen’s gaze and asked, "Want to try it?"

"...I think this is very unscientific," Zheng Yichen said seriously, feeling some aversion to the things in the laboratory.

Putting the test tube on the shelf beside her, "Not at all, the state of the Essence of Life is very stable. Even with the simplest use, it can keep the user’s condition in a highly active state, capable of reversing aging."

Zheng Yichen was very composed. Getting younger was just that; he already knew his physical condition. As long as he kept hunting and maintaining his body in an unwithered state, he would be like an evergreen tree, unable to die. The allure of this substance was very weak to him.

"If used in treatment, it can also completely repair the state of a living organism, including the minor damage accumulated during cell division."

"That’s impressive." Treatment? Zheng Yichen was interested in that. His own recovery ability was strong, but sometimes he still needed powerful regenerative items.

In the last world, he hadn’t prepared such a thing, no, that’s not right—he had, but it was medicine, not something that took immediate effect.

"It’s just that this substance has too severe an impact on life forms. Even after adjustments, most people who use it too frequently will experience side effects; their bodies will undergo morphological changes, and in severe cases, may become distorted."

As she said this, Ahn Ke looked at Zheng Yichen, "But you are not within this range."

"This thing isn’t useful to me," Zheng Yichen said. Changing his life form wasn’t helpful to him; it might even affect his combat effectiveness. If Ahn Ke said it was useless to him, then there was no point in considering it. Other aspects? He already had what this substance could bring.

"That’s why some things are so vexing. People who don’t need it can use it freely, but those who do need it are restricted in their use," Ahn Ke sighed slightly. It was like money; many people need to worry about earning money in many aspects, and for the rich, earning money is an insignificant matter, with no need to seek opportunities like ordinary people.

Because those opportunities will come by themselves.

The research on the Essence of Life was the same. Zheng Yichen was a person with enormous wealth in terms of his body, and among the Ahn family and others, there was no one who possessed the kind of ’wealth’ that Zheng Yichen had. Ahn Ke, through some research, could confirm that Zheng Yichen could basically use this substance unconditionally, while others could only look on enviously.
