Chapter 417: Sample No. 1
"Yeah, I didn't expect the plan to go this smoothly either."
Liam had already started thinking about how to sell those abnormal creature corpses.
Only a fool would sell raw materials;
he needed a few partners.
"Regarding the first issue, I can produce Sample One, which can utilize the parasite's power, but when using the parasite's power, the host will be eroded by the parasite.
Actually, making this kind of sample is even simpler;
just ignore safety concerns.
Those experimental personnel were likely influenced by the parasite to propose wanting to borrow the parasite's power. You can handle Sample One yourselves, but I can't be sure what the consequences of abusing this sample will be."
Lin Ye offered a reminder, though he felt it probably wouldn't be useful.
But if anything went out of control, it would be Sample One, not Sample Zero.
"Excellent, we just need to boost the strength of those experimental personnel. If any experimental personnel lose control, there are people to handle it."
Raymond was very satisfied with Lin Ye's efficiency in solving problems. "How much time is needed to produce Sample One?"
Ms. Carnot asked.
Carnot Heavy Industries also needed this kind of sample.
"Uh, in five minutes? This time doesn't require research and development, just producing the discarded plan."
Lin Ye was very good at making this kind of unstable stuff. If he had known they needed this sample earlier, he wouldn't have wasted so much time researching a safe version.
"Very good. Do we need to make new Parasitic Cards?"
Oliver was also very interested in Sample One.
"No need. Sample One just removes the safety restrictions;
the other aspects aren't much different."
Lin Ye replied.
"Then I want to place an order for a batch of Parasitic Cards."
Oliver immediately spoke up.
"Wait a moment, the cleanup plan hasn't started yet. I think we need to stockpile a batch of Parasitic Cards."
Liam was very sensitive to these kinds of business issues.
"How many do you want? As long as materials are sufficient, I can provide however many Parasitic Cards you need."
These people simply didn't understand Lin Ye's card-printing speed.
"That's great. I'll deliver the materials to the clubhouse, and I'll pay twenty percent extra for the production cost."
The researchers under Oliver were also studying Sample Zero, but like Carnot Heavy Industries, they couldn't find a starting point either.
"You'd better not mess around with Sample One, or you'll bear the consequences yourselves."
Lin Ye warned.
"Don't worry, we are all legitimate companies and won't engage in any violations."
Ms. Carnot said.
"Better be that way... Now let's discuss the second problem. This one is easy to handle. I can make another trip to the Bottomless Pit to deal with the tumor-like structures inside those exploration personnel."
This matter held no difficulty for Lin Ye.
"Isn't that a bit risky? You can't have any problems right now."
Raymond completely ignored the fact that he had previously commissioned Lin Ye to enter the Bottomless Pit multiple times.
"Saving that batch of people is just a side task. My main purpose is to go solve the third problem. If you all could be more reliable, I wouldn't have to go to this trouble."
Additionally, Lin Ye planned to take a look at that fused Flesh Wall. That was a Flesh Wall fused with an Abyssal creature. It was a bit odd that those experimental personnel hadn't noticed any issues.
"Carmot Heavy Industries can provide a set of the latest version of Heavy Armor."
Ms. Carnot did not try to stop Lin Ye. The Bottomless Pit gave her an increasingly ominous feeling, and she wanted to start dealing with the abnormal creatures below as soon as possible.
"The Adventurer's Association can dispatch a high-tier squad to protect your safety."
Raymond also spoke up.
"Who's protecting whom? Have you got it backwards? Don't let those useless people get in the way. I'll have Andrew accompany him."
Oliver also didn't want anything to happen to Lin Ye at this time.
"That puts my mind at ease. Andrew will definitely be fine."
Liam said with a smile.
"Andrew is that ninth-tier spiritual energy user who went to the clubhouse to pick up the items last time. He's just one step away from entering the tenth tier."
Raymond explained.
"Whatever. I'll set off tomorrow morning. You can send someone to the clubhouse to pick up Sample One in the afternoon."
Before leaving, Lin Ye planned to reinforce the clubhouse base again. With Raymond and the others around, it would be difficult for other factions to approach the base, but he was worried those four might have other ideas.
After all, aside from those young men, no one knew that only Lin Ye could produce card templates. They all thought the base hid a simplified production process for spiritual energy cards.
Previously, spiritual energy cards were just substitutes for low-tier spiritual energy items, but now that was hard to say.
This matter was very dangerous, but as long as the Bottomless Pit problem remained unsolved, these people at least wouldn't openly move against Lin Ye and the clubhouse.
Moreover, there were other factions in Free City. Only by maintaining the status quo could they maintain their advantage and obtain the massive profits from those abnormal creatures.
If they angered Lin Ye, he could easily go cooperate with other factions, since Lin Ye controlled the two key technologies: the biological sample and the spiritual energy cards.
Lin Ye was mainly afraid those people might try some underhanded tricks, like kidnapping one or two people, which would be very troublesome.
The gathering ended, and Lin Ye returned to the abandoned clubhouse. He spent only two minutes producing Sample One.
Afterwards, Lin Ye began reinforcing the base and instructed Maggie and the others not to leave the clubhouse casually during this period.
As for those young men, aside from the group responsible for printing cards, the others didn't know much information. If anyone went missing, it would have to wait until Lin Ye returned to handle it.
This path wasn't safe to begin with, and Lin Ye had warned them from the start.
Early the next morning, that gloomy middle-aged man parked his car outside the clubhouse again, but this time he was there to pick someone up.
Lin Ye got into the back seat of the sports car and caught the Spatial Ring Andrew tossed over. Inside was a full set of Carnot Heavy Industries' latest version Heavy Armor.
This thing wasn't some heavy turtle shell;
it was a genuine weapon of war. Moreover, the armor had a built-in power source. Wearing it wouldn't affect escape speed.
However, Lin Ye didn't plan to wear this thing. For him, wearing Heavy Armor would affect his Agility. The power source inside was quite good, though, and worth researching.
The sports car headed straight for the Bottomless Pit. Andrew was like a mute, not saying a single word the entire journey.
Lin Ye didn't dislike teammates who didn't waste words, but he actually preferred entering that area alone.
Andrew parked the sports car outside the jungle. The two quickly ventured deep into the jungle and soon arrived at the edge of the Bottomless Pit, where Carnot Heavy Industries had established an experimental base.
"Aren't you going to wear the Heavy Armor?"
Andrew looked at Lin Ye with his gloomy expression.
"I don't need it. Don't worry too much about me."
Lin Ye jumped into the Bottomless Pit, quickly rushing towards that area.
During this period, that area had risen another distance and was now close to a depth of 2100 meters.
Andrew quickly ran to Lin Ye's vicinity. His mission was to bring Lin Ye safely back to the abandoned clubhouse.
The two descended very quickly. Only after reaching a depth of one thousand meters did Lin Ye slow his descent speed.
