Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 63 - 62: Reward Points
The next morning, the girls got up early to wash up and get ready, then had a drone deliver breakfast.
Lin Xinghai didn’t reluctantly crawl out of bed until breakfast was about to arrive.
He’d had insomnia last night, only falling into a deep sleep around three or four in the morning. It couldn’t be helped—who could blame him, with all that pent-up frustration and no outlet for it!
’Looks like living with so many women wasn’t such a good idea after all. If I were just living with one of them, maybe after a little token resistance, things would’ve just... happened!’ Lin Xinghai reflected.
Of course, when he first arrived at Star Shield Shelter, he didn’t have a choice.
’But if Liu Miaomiao is willing to join the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps, then maybe I can work some magic with the dorm arrangements!’
At this thought, he immediately jumped out of bed. While washing his face and brushing his teeth, he asked Liu Miaomiao, who was nearby, "Have you thought about my proposal from yesterday?"
"I’m willing to join the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps," Liu Miaomiao replied. "But I can’t leave right away. I’ll head over after I become one of the Optimized. By then, Wang Yao and the others will be settled in too."
Lin Xinghai nodded. That was indeed a good plan.
After all, even if Liu Miaomiao joined the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps, with no combat experience, she would most likely be left inside the Shelter to focus on improving her strength.
And now that the Axe Gang business was resolved, Liu Miaomiao improving her strength here in the Lower Level District was the same as if she had joined the Mercenary Corps, and she could also look after Wang Yao and the others.
Most importantly, it would be a very short process. After all, for someone with an A Level Genetic Assessment, it only took seven vials of Genetic Medicine Liquid to successfully break through and become one of the Optimized.
Furthermore, people with an A Level Genetic Assessment absorbed Genetic Medicine Liquid exceptionally fast. A normal person might take two or three days, or even three or four, to absorb a single vial. But Liu Miaomiao could absorb one vial a day.
In other words, Liu Miaomiao could become one of the Optimized in a week at most.
This was a speed that ordinary people couldn’t even dream of.
"By the way, you’d best not go around talking about your Genetic Assessment. Remind Wang Yao and the others, too. Be careful not to attract any unwanted attention. I’ll also report this to the leader," Lin Xinghai added as a reminder.
"Okay, I understand," Liu Miaomiao said with a nod.
Lin Xinghai thought for a moment, then opened his wrist-mounted computer and transferred another 200 Points to Liu Miaomiao. This way, she wouldn’t have to worry about Genetic Medicine Liquid before becoming one of the Optimized.
As for afterward, the Mercenary Corps would naturally provide it.
This time, Liu Miaomiao didn’t refuse. She hadn’t dared to accept before because she was worried she’d receive this favor and never be able to repay it.
But now, her A Level Genetic Assessment was her greatest source of confidence.
Next, everyone ate breakfast together and then headed out.
After parting ways with the girls, Lin Xinghai headed to the nearest elevator shaft and took an elevator to the Middle Level District.
DING!
As the elevator doors opened, Lin Xinghai saw clean streets, and a... robot.
The robot emitted a synthesized electronic voice. "Facial recognition failed. Please present your Identity Card."
Lin Xinghai presented his Identity Card.
After scanning it, the robot continued, "Lower Level District resident, has not reached the level of the Optimized. A fee of 10 Points is required to enter the Middle Level District, and the duration of stay cannot exceed 24 hours. Pay Points now?"
"Yes!" Lin Xinghai nodded.
In reality, he could have requested a test of his Genetic Optimization Level, but the thought only briefly crossed his mind.
He didn’t want to attract any unwanted attention. While the possibility was low, running into it would be a hassle.
So he preferred to pay the 10 Points.
Walking out of the elevator shaft, he opened his wrist-mounted computer, pulled up the map Roger had sent him, and activated navigation mode, heading toward the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps’s headquarters.
Ten minutes later, Lin Xinghai stood before a 150-square-meter storefront. Looking at the four large words, "Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps," on the door, he knew he was in the right place.
As he approached, the automatic glass doors slid open, and he saw a reception desk with a pretty young lady standing behind it.
"Hello! This is the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps. How may I help you?" the pretty young lady asked politely.
Lin Xinghai silently took out his Mercenary Badge and pinned it to his chest.
"Ah! You’re Lin Xinghai?" The receptionist first looked surprised at the Mercenary Badge, then immediately realized who he was.
After all, there was only one new member in the entire Mercenary Corps whom she had never met.
"Mhm! I’m here to see the leader and the others pick out their Mecha," Lin Xinghai explained.
"Come in, quick! My name is Deng Xiaolan. Let me give you a tour of our headquarters," Deng Xiaolan said, introducing herself as she led Lin Xinghai inside.
Then, Lin Xinghai saw that the main hall was filled with various pieces of gym equipment. This equipment was clearly custom-made; otherwise, it would have no training effect on Mercenaries.
"Ah Xing!"
"Brother Xing is here!"
One after another, the Mercenaries greeted Lin Xinghai enthusiastically.
And this was with Fang Tianhe having issued a gag order. Many of the Mercenaries present didn’t know Lin Xinghai had already broken through to become one of the Optimized; otherwise, their enthusiasm would have been on another level.
Deng Xiaolan, who was leading the way, was astonished by this. This was definitely not the normal way Mercenaries treated a newcomer, especially from those calling him "Brother Xing," which had a sycophantic tone to it.
She secretly sized up Lin Xinghai, then began introducing the various pieces of training equipment with even more diligence.
"This is the Gravity chamber. It’s the most expensive piece of training equipment in our headquarters. It can generate up to 10 times normal Gravity. Many Second Level Mercenary Corps can’t even afford to buy a Gravity chamber of this Level," Deng Xiaolan explained.
Just then, the Alloy door of the Gravity chamber opened, and Roger walked out.
"There you are, kid! Come with me to the second floor. The leader and the others are waiting for you." Without another word, Roger took over Deng Xiaolan’s job and led Lin Xinghai to the second floor.
"Ah Xing, you’re here! This is a list of your contributions from yesterday’s mission. Check it over and see if anything is missing." In the second-floor meeting room, the first thing Fang Tianhe did upon seeing Lin Xinghai was to hand him a list.
A bit stunned, Lin Xinghai took the list and began to read. It detailed how many Elemental Crystals he had helped collect during the mission, how many Zombies he had killed, and the breakdown of Basic, Intermediate, and High Level Zombies. It also provided a detailed explanation and itemization of any special contributions his kills had made to the battle, and so on.
And at the very end was the Point reward for this mission: 19,800 Points.
Lin Xinghai was a little stunned looking at the Points awarded to him.
You have to understand, 80% of the total income from a mission was used for the Mercenary Corps’s development and expenses, while 20% was used for bonuses.
Their mission yesterday had earned a total of 300,000 Points. This meant that 60,000 Points would ultimately be distributed among everyone, including Fang Tianhe and Shen Han.
And now he alone had claimed a third of it. By that calculation, didn’t his personal bonus exceed even that of Fang Tianhe, the leader?
