Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 110 - 109: Filming a Video

Watching Fang Tianhe pat the crate of red wine, Lin Xinghai vaguely understood something. "You mean, we use this wine to curry favor?"

"Yes! Nowadays, any alcohol brewed from food is a rarity, let alone aged red wine like this."

"With this batch of red wine, plus the fact that we have the Great Elder’s approval, it’ll be easy to build good relationships with the other high-ranking officials in the Shelter."

"Of course, if we’re using it to build goodwill, I definitely won’t be selling it at a high price. Some of it will even have to be given away as gifts. So, I’ll buy this batch from you in the Mercenary Corps’ name first. That way, you won’t be taking a loss."

As he spoke, Fang Tianhe directly transferred 100,000 Points to Lin Xinghai.

Lin Xinghai didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted it immediately.

Roger, who was standing at the side, was so envious his mouth was practically watering.

"You brat, with your current savings, you can almost buy a Mecha!" Roger said, his tone sour with jealousy.

"Not yet. I only have 143,562 Points. Besides, I don’t need to buy a Mecha!" Lin Xinghai said with a wide grin.

Seeing the other man rub salt in his wound, Roger was instantly exasperated. He said fiercely, "You brat, you promised me! Once I break the third Genetic Lock, you’ll get a Mecha for me."

"Don’t worry! With me around, the Mercenary Corps will earn Points quickly. A few more missions should be enough to save up for the next Mecha," Lin Xinghai said, patting his chest in assurance.

Roger was half-skeptical, but the number of Points in Lin Xinghai’s account was quite persuasive.

So, after his expression shifted a few times, a smile finally appeared on his face. And for the rest of their conversation, Roger became much more pleasant for the sake of his future Mecha.

Lin Xinghai found this secretly amusing. After they had walked a bit further, he saw that it was getting late and had originally planned to head straight to the Government Hall to wait for Liu Miaomiao and the others to get off work.

However, Shen Han stopped him. "Recruiting Mercenaries is pretty difficult right now because of the Morgan Conglomerate, so it’s time for you to put your fame to use."

"Uh... so what do you need me to do?" Lin Xinghai felt a little guilty. After all, everyone else was busy while he had been out earning extra money on the side, which didn’t look good.

"You have two choices. First, come to the recruitment site tomorrow to help out. Second, come back to the Mercenary Corps with us now and record a recruitment video," Shen Han said, laying out the options directly.

Lin Xinghai chose the second option with almost no hesitation.

He followed the group back to their base in the Middle Level District. Under Shen Han’s direction, Lin Xinghai first washed up and changed into a brand-new Combat Suit before he started recording the short video.

Of course, this so-called "short video" was truly, incredibly simple.

So simple that all Lin Xinghai had to do was face the camera and read the requirements and benefits from their recruitment ad out loud.

Even when he stammered or misread a word, Shen Han didn’t call for a stop.

The entire process was over in just one short minute, leaving Lin Xinghai a little stunned.

When he went to the Mercenary Guild today, he had seen how other Mercenary Corps recruited members.

Among these Mercenary Corps, some of them of course used video presentations to introduce themselves. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

But in those videos, the presenters were usually pretty young women, and the videos would be interspersed with all sorts of carefully edited combat scenes. Even without any special effects, they could be called dazzling, and they also served to show off the Mercenary Corps’ strength.

Compared to those videos, the short video they recorded was simply shoddy and completely half-hearted.

But according to Shen Han, they didn’t need any of that.

The content of this video wasn’t the point. The point was to send a signal: Lin Xinghai was not leaving the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps.

Of course, it wasn’t as if Shen Han did zero post-production after the video was recorded, but the post-production was also terrifyingly simple.

He just inserted the footage of Lin Xinghai killing the Mutated Zombie right at the beginning. That was it.

Simple and crude, but any discerning Mercenary who saw it would probably be too stunned to walk away.

After recording the video, Lin Xinghai didn’t linger and headed directly for the Government Hall in the Lower Level District.

"Ah Xing, you’re back so early today." Liu Miaomiao was the first to greet him. Seeing Lin Xinghai return safely, a genuine smile spread across her face.

"Yeah, the haul was good today, so I came back early," Lin Xinghai nodded.

"Oh, right, I have something to show you." Liu Miaomiao said, mysteriously taking out a Mercenary Badge.

"You joined our Mercenary Corps?" Lin Xinghai was a little surprised. Roger, Fang Tianhe, and the others hadn’t mentioned this at all.

"I did! The commander promised me that I only have to report to the Mercenary Corps after I become one of the Optimized. So I joined in advance. Having this badge provides an extra layer of security." She was quite happy about becoming a Mercenary.

Afterward, Wang Yao and the others also came over one by one to greet Lin Xinghai. But since they still had to work, each of them only said a few words of concern before returning to their posts.

Lin Xinghai found a random spot to sit and waited quietly. Of course, he wasn’t bored, since he had his wrist-mounted computer to play with.

While he was waiting, he received a transfer notification. A total of 835 Points had been deposited into his account, with a note that said "Mission Reward."

Looking at such a small amount of Points, Lin Xinghai really looked down on it. No wonder almost no Mercenary Corps would go to Qingtang Town to clear out Zombies.

Killing one Ordinary Zombie only awarded one Point. If it weren’t for the Blood Qi Power, Lin Xinghai felt that he wouldn’t have gone either.

After the transfer notification, there was also a friend request. The note attached said: Superpower Alliance Captain, Gao Mountain.

Lin Xinghai glanced at the note and accepted the friend request directly.

The other party sent a message at lightning speed. "Hello, Brother Lin. Let me introduce myself. I’m Captain Gao Mountain. Thank you so much for your help with our hunting squad this time. I’d like to discuss a deeper collaboration with you. I was wondering when you might be free? I’d like to talk with you in person."

Lin Xinghai didn’t overthink it and replied directly, "Tomorrow."

"Roger that!" the other party replied, again at lightning speed.

After a quick glance, Lin Xinghai closed the chat window.

He was curious about this so-called "deeper collaboration," but he didn’t ask any more questions. ’I’ll find out tomorrow anyway.’

For him, the most important thing right now was breaking the second Genetic Lock.

In the time since he got back, his Perception Range had already increased from 150 meters to 160 meters.

According to his estimates, he would complete the doubling process tomorrow, reaching the upper limit of 200 meters.

At that point, he should be fully adapted to his current stage. Plus, with enough Blood Qi Power, he planned to directly raise his Genetic Optimization Level from 30% to 60% and break the second Genetic Lock.

He was also looking forward to seeing what kind of changes his Superpower would undergo after its second awakening.
