Lin Xinghai had no time to worry about what others were thinking. After getting the information he wanted, he began to calculate. ’How many vials of Toughness Potion should I get?’
Although Fu Yuan had calculated his Merit to be around 100,000 points, he was certain he had earned far more than that.
After all, none of these people knew that he deserved at least half the credit for Kong Hua’s successful capture of Raphael.
Lin Xinghai wasn’t sure how much Merit one could get for helping capture a Divine Demon Realm expert alive, but it was bound to be a significant amount.
Even by the most conservative estimate, he was looking at 100,000 Merit, at the very least.
With a total of 200,000 Merit, he thought for a moment and decided to spend 120,000 of it to purchase six vials of Toughness Potion.
According to the description, the potion lost its effect on most people after the third vial, but it also mentioned that this number could vary depending on one’s Physique.
So it was best to be over-prepared. Besides, he wasn’t worried about any going to waste. If he couldn’t use them all, he could just give the rest to Liu Miaomiao.
But most importantly, he wasn’t short on Merit.
Having made his decision, he had nothing else to do, so he began scrolling through the exchange list from the top. Many of the items were of no use to him now, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t be useful in the future. He decided to make a mental note of them; when he needed something, he could just buy it directly from the Military Department.
Lin Xinghai ended up browsing for over an hour. It couldn’t be helped; they had to wait for the military to finish cleaning up the battlefield before they could leave.
The entire mission had taken them less than an hour, but cleaning up the battlefield took a full hour and a half. Even Lin Xinghai hadn’t expected that.
However, when the military began hauling one Corpse-man after another out of the underground base, he understood. These things were definitely not easy to handle.
Besides the Corpse-men, the research materials and personnel inside also needed to be dealt with properly.
Once the battlefield was clean, the main force began to withdraw. Lin Xinghai and his team were in the first group to head back.
They returned to the temporary airfield, boarded a large transport plane, and by 3:00 p.m., Lin Xinghai was finally back at the East Sea Base.
...
By this point, the Military Department’s logistics division had already calculated the Merit earned by each person using their battlefield recorders, and the totals had been credited to their Identity Cards.
The first thing Lin Xinghai did was check his balance. The amount of Merit he’d been awarded was even more than he had imagined, a grand total of 315,000.
In other words, helping to capture Raphael alive had earned him nearly 200,000 Merit.
With this small fortune, Lin Xinghai didn’t immediately return to East Sea Academy. Instead, he followed Fu Yuan and the others to the exchange center in the Military Department’s logistics division.
It was a massive room, 500 square meters in area, filled with rows of terminals.
Following Fu Yuan’s instructions, Lin Xinghai walked up to an empty terminal, inserted his Identity Card, and quickly accessed the Military Department’s internal network, opening the redemption store.
"Everything in the redemption store is classified by Level, and you need the corresponding clearance to purchase items,"
Fu Yuan said, glancing at the Second Lieutenant rank on Lin Xinghai’s profile. "If your clearance is insufficient, you can submit an application. Normally, the process takes about a week. However, if you know a High Level officer who can vouch for you, you can be fast-tracked and get approved much sooner."
"Alright, I understand." Lin Xinghai nodded. That wouldn’t be a problem for him; he could ask either Kong Hua or Zuo Wenyao to help him with it.
If he remembered correctly, Zuo Wenyao also held the rank of Major General in the Military Department.
He began using the terminal, selecting the Toughness Potion and entering a quantity of six. Including the delivery fee, the total came to 123,000 Merit.
A notification box immediately popped up, indicating the purchase was "Pending Approval."
Lin Xinghai took out his wrist-computer and thought for a moment before deciding to send a message to Zuo Wenyao. He didn’t know Kong Hua very well, and there was no need to owe someone a favor over something like this.
As for Zuo Wenyao, he was his student; asking for a little help was perfectly reasonable.
After sending the message, Lin Xinghai expected to wait a bit, but Zuo Wenyao must have been free, as he replied instantly with a surprised emoji.
Then, Lin Xinghai watched as the "Pending Approval" box on the terminal disappeared. It was replaced by a new message: "Purchase Successful. The Toughness Potions will be delivered within three days."
Lin Xinghai’s series of actions was so swift it left Fu Yuan dumbfounded. He never imagined Lin Xinghai was so well-connected that a single message could get the purchase approved instantly.
But he also understood that it was best not to ask questions about certain things.
After purchasing the Toughness Potions and exchanging contact information, Lin Xinghai left the Military Department.
...
After returning to the academy, his first stop was Zuo Wenyao’s office to report on the mission.
After listening to Lin Xinghai’s account, Zuo Wenyao stared at his student as if he were looking at some kind of monster.
Then, out of curiosity, he had Lin Xinghai demonstrate the Time Acceleration Ability on him.
After personally experiencing the terrifying nature of this Superpower, Zuo Wenyao could only lament. ’Sometimes, you just can’t compare one person to another.’
Take Lin Xinghai’s Time Acceleration Ability, for example. It could simply crush all other Superpowers.
Even a person of mediocre talent could probably become the strongest of their rank by relying on this Time Superpower.
What’s more, Lin Xinghai’s own aptitude was already monstrous. He couldn’t even begin to imagine how terrifyingly powerful the young man would become in the future.
"Keep up the good work. Perhaps the future of humanity will depend on you." After his moment of reflection, Zuo Wenyao’s gaze burned with intensity as he looked at Lin Xinghai.
Only those who had reached his level truly understood how bleak, and even hopeless, humanity’s future currently was.
Otherwise, something like the "Seed Plan" would never have been created.
And Lin Xinghai was, without a doubt, a sudden glimmer of light in that darkness.
However, Lin Xinghai himself, the subject of all this high praise, wasn’t feeling nearly as sentimental as Zuo Wenyao.
After chatting with him for a while longer and confirming that the Seed Plan Execution Department wouldn’t be assigning him any new missions for the time being, he left, feeling relieved.
He first went to see Liu Miaomiao, Little Fatty, and the others to let them know he was alright, then resumed his intense Cultivation.
After witnessing the power of the Divine Demon Realm, his desire to increase his own strength had become even more urgent.
The following days could be described as peaceful, or perhaps even monotonous, for Lin Xinghai.
Every day was spent in constant Refinement of Blood Burst Pills, increasing the total amount of Blood Qi Power in his body.
Of course, after his Blood Qi Power surpassed 1,000 points, Lin Xinghai could clearly feel that raising it further was becoming increasingly difficult.
The difficulty seemed to jump up a notch with every 100-point increase.
As a result, the amount of Blood Qi Power he could gain each day was gradually decreasing.
However, with the help of his Time Acceleration Ability, Lin Xinghai had 38 hours to cultivate each day. Thanks to this, after one week, his total Blood Qi Power finally rose from 1,180 points to 1,715 points.
And this was the current limit of his body.
