Chapter 582 -356: Reunion of the Highest Level, Attack of the T0-level Mercenary Corps
Xu Tianyun joined the project as he wished. Although he was only responsible for a very small part of it, he was now officially involved in this epoch-making project.
Lin Qi had no objection. Having another major figure on board would only add more weight to the “Phase Theory,” a development Lin Qi was happy to see.
Xu Tianyun himself was incredibly gratified. All he wanted was a place in the history books.
The other researchers in the Circular Experimental Field were even more delighted. They were participating in the same project as the second-generation founder of Nanyun Potion, and each of them felt honored.
The only one who wasn’t happy was Xu Qinghe. The project she was in charge of was already nearly eighty percent complete!
The other teams were generally no more than fifty percent done.
But the person who had swooped in to take the credit wasn’t an outsider.
Xu Qinghe could only think of other ways to see if she could get some benefits from her grandfather.
As for Lin Qi, he slowed his thoughts and took a brief rest.
A little after 4:30 in the morning, Lin Qi went to the restroom.
Although he was “working overtime” in the Cyber World, it didn’t stop Lin Qi from making his daily trip to the Doomsday World.
He was determined not to waste a single daily opportunity to cross over. One day of Meditation in the Doomsday World was nearly a hundred times more efficient than in the Cyber World.

Lin Qi was getting closer and closer to Tier Four, so naturally, he had to seize every opportunity to grow stronger.
From an outsider’s perspective, Lin Qi entered the restroom at 4:38 and walked out again at 4:40, showing no signs of anything unusual.
No one knew that Lin Qi had just experienced 24 hours out of thin air.
Even an Extraordinary Professional as powerful as Xu Tianyun couldn’t detect anything strange about Lin Qi.
Lin Qi returned to his seat.
Shortly after sitting down, Lin Qi suddenly received an email.
[Highest Level Secure Mail: The Mercenary Corps has accepted a new mission. Please follow the instructions in the attachment to enter the temporary session window.]
Guang Ling was finally making a move!
Lin Qi had been wondering why, with only two or three days left until the World Peace Conference, Guang Ling hadn’t made any moves at all.
‘Whether I join this operation or not, there’s no harm in gathering some intel.’
With practiced ease, Lin Qi entered the temporary session window.
At almost the same moment, all the members of the Mercenary Corps entered the session one after another.
Although it was very late, none of the Mercenary Corps members were resting; they all responded within seconds.
Capitalist: “@Guang Ling, I remember you said that you’d consider our opinions when accepting future missions. This time, you made the decision on your own again.”
Lin Qi had been feeling a bit drained. After all, factoring in the time he’d spent in the Doomsday World, he hadn’t rested in a long while.
But as soon as he entered the session, he saw Capitalist probing Guang Ling with his words, and Lin Qi’s eyes lit up.
‘Nice one!’
‘Capitalist is a good guy!’
The Mercenary Corps needed someone as cunning and audacious as Capitalist, who dared to challenge the leader, Guang Ling.
Lin Qi completely ignored the fact that Capitalist had previously used his scheming on him.
He immediately typed something into the reply window, but then deleted it just as quickly.
He’d leave leading the charge to Capitalist for now. There was no need for him to jump in just yet.
After all, in their last session, Lin Qi had already subtly expressed “Wizard’s” stance and earned the trust of the other members.
Although Lin Qi didn’t join in, Capitalist had his own follower.
Jingang: “Exactly! World City is so dangerous right now. If we just accept any mission, the risk is too high. I’m terrified.”
Jingang and Capitalist were thick as thieves.
This was something everyone in the Mercenary Corps knew.
After all, when Jingang had first joined the Mercenary Corps, it was Capitalist who had saved his life.
After Jingang spoke, the temporary session went quiet again.
Neither King Arthur nor Master Ma said anything.
King Arthur always liked to follow “Wizard’s” lead, while Master Ma was more moderate and rarely spoke.
A few seconds passed, and Guang Ling still hadn’t replied.
Master Ma quietly chimed in.
Master Ma: “[Cyber Thumbs Up.emoji]”
Master Ma had sent a thumbs-up emoji, tentatively picking a side.
But as long as Guang Ling’s explanation was good enough, Master Ma could easily use his words to reposition himself.
This emoji was a novel trick in the hands of this old veteran.
It seemed Guang Ling used those few seconds to gather his thoughts.
Guang Ling: “I did act on my own. But once you see the mission details, you’ll understand why. I’ve sent the relevant intel to you all via email. You can read it before commenting.”
Guang Ling seemed very confident that no one would object to this mission.
Lin Qi immediately checked his email. A new message had indeed arrived, having slipped in silently at some unknown moment like a cyber ghost.
He opened the email, and his pupils contracted sharply when he saw the subject line.
[Two T0-level Mercenary Corps Gather at the S-Class Pharmaceutical Society, Intending to Probe the Eastern Alliance’s Troop Movements]
As he continued reading the body of the email, Lin Qi lowered his head slightly so that the others in the Circular Experimental Field wouldn’t notice the change in his expression.
‘Two T0-level Mercenary Corps, the Holy Relic Legion and the Defender of Freedom… More than ten S-Class Prosthetic Implanters are already near the S-Class Pharmaceutical Society? And on top of that, there’s a deployment of Tier Four Extraordinaries…’
‘Are T0-level Mercenary Corps really this powerful? They say a T0-level Mercenary Corps can go head-to-head with a top-tier corporation, and it looks like that’s no exaggeration. With this kind of combat strength, it would be almost effortless to annihilate a major corporation like the Liu Clan.’
