Chapter 192: 145. Pureblood Human Path! Another strong warrior added!_2

“`

In plain terms, just a hired thug.

Lin Zichen suspected that those mechanically modified humans he had seen as a child were likely reinforcements called in by the security headquarters.

“Xiao Chen, when did you wake up?”

Shen Qinghan groggily woke up and asked Lin Zichen, her eyes bleary with sleep.

“Been awake for over an hour.”

After finishing, Lin Zichen continued, “I just accepted a task on the university app to capture drug traffickers outside the campus. It’s scheduled for 9 pm tomorrow night, and we’re going to the security department to participate in the operation. You’re coming with me, I’ll let you see some action.”

“Sure.”

Shen Qinghan readily agreed without a second thought.

Lin Zichen handed her his phone, saying gently, “Then that’s settled. Take a look at the details of the task on there, I’m going to make breakfast.”

“Hmm.”

Shen Qinghan responded, taking the phone Lin Zichen passed to her.

Lin Zichen didn’t stay in the room long, he quickly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and headed straight for the fridge.

He had only taken a few steps when the doorbell rang.

“Ding-dong!”

Hearing the doorbell, Lin Zichen immediately extended his senses to see who would come calling so early in the morning.

Then, he sensed Li Moyu standing outside.

What was he here for?

Lin Zichen was puzzled.

But without overthinking it, he quickly went to open the door for Li Moyu.

“Creak—”

The door opened.

Upon seeing Lin Zichen, Li Moyu cut to the chase, “Lin Zichen, I accepted a task last night to kill an Ordinary Seventh Order water monster. It’s risky for me to go alone, do you want to come with me?”

“The task reward is 100 academic credits. Once it’s done, we’ll split it fifty-fifty, 50 credits each, and we’ll do the same with the monster’s carcass.”

“A fifty-fifty split isn’t taking advantage of you. I went home last week and under my dad’s arrangement, I fused with another strand of Demon-eyed Giant Ape genes. Now, even in my normal state, my strength has reached an Ordinary Sixth Order. When I fully activate the Demon-eyed Giant Ape genes, my strength can climb directly to Ordinary Seventh Order.”

“With this level of power, I’m not weaker than you. I might even be stronger,” said Li Moyu, who rattled off so much at once, eventually asking again, “So, what do you say, want to team up?”

Lin Zichen declined, “No thanks, I prefer doing tasks alone, it’s freer that way.”

He could complete tasks by himself and keep all the academic credits; there was no need to find a teammate to share them.

Unless that teammate was Shen Qinghan.

As for those exceptionally difficult tasks that were nearly impossible to complete alone and required a team, he wouldn’t even give them a glance.

He wouldn’t accept tasks he wasn’t a hundred percent sure of completing, to avoid capsizing in a gutter.

Li Moyu disagreed, “Lin Zichen, how can you like doing tasks by yourself?”

“With your strength, with your status, you must certainly know about Origin Land.”

“Origin Land is the lair of Exotic Beasts, filled with them everywhere you turn. Without teaming up, it’s near impossible for a human to make it even a step inside.”

“As the future stars of humanity, we will have to enter Origin Land sooner or later. And, due to our roughly equivalent strengths and the fact that we are classmates, it’s highly likely we’ll end up as teammates eventually.”

“Therefore, the four years of university are the best time for us to get used to cooperating as a team. With this in mind, how can you refuse to go out on missions with me?”

“Even if we aren’t teammates when we go down to Origin Land in the future, that shouldn’t stop us from teaming up now.”

“Both of us have similar strength; teaming up would allow us to practice coordinating with others, gathering more experience in teamwork, to prepare for entering Origin Land later. Don’t you agree?”

“Honestly, if you don’t practice teaming up with others during these four years in university and decide to play the lone wolf, you will definitely regret it,”

“You might not even get the chance to regret it, going down to Origin Land only to meet an early demise.”

Li Moyu was very talkative, his mouth moving nonstop, pouring out a whole lot of reasoning to Lin Zichen in just half a minute.

The words coming out at a pace so fast his tongue could have twisted.

After listening, Lin Zichen nodded and agreed, “You’re right, during these four years at university, it is indeed important to team up for tasks and practice working with teammates.”

He felt that Li Moyu made a lot of sense, it was unwise to be a lone wolf; learning to team up with others was necessary.

And teammates had to be of equal strength.

Thinking it over, the only suitable candidates were Song Yuyan and Liu Chuanwu.

All were Ordinary Ninth Order, so their strength wouldn’t differ much.

However, Liu Chuanwu was the dean, typically busy with important tasks, so he probably wouldn’t have time to take on missions.

Most importantly, he had his unique ways of making money and certainly didn’t need to earn academic credits through tasks.

After cancelling him out, that left only the senior sister Song Yuyan.

Yes, while his strength hadn’t yet exceeded Sister Yan’s too much, it was time to ask her out for a mission…

Lin Zichen silently thought to himself.

On the other side, seeing Lin Zichen’s agreement, Li Moyu thought he had agreed to form a team with him, and nodded in satisfaction, saying:

“Not bad, a teachable lad indeed!”

Just as he was about to discuss the specific details of teaming up with Lin Zichen,

Lin Zichen spoke up before him, “You just mentioned Origin Land, what do you know about it? Can you tell me more?”

“You don’t know much about it?”

Li Moyu was somewhat puzzled by this.

Given the strength Lin Zichen had shown since school started, his family background must be incredibly strong; otherwise, it would have been impossible to cultivate such an exceptional talent.

And with a strong family background, there must be many powerful individuals who frequently visited Origin Land, so it made no sense for him to be ignorant about it.
