Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits-Chapter 145 - 110, 7000 meters under the sea_2

Lin Qing glanced at him but didn’t say anything, just picked up the backpack beside him.

Cheng Cong gave a smile and then sat down.

"Do you need something, Team Leader Cheng?" Lin Qing asked straightforwardly.

"I just want to make friends with you." Cheng Cong smiled and said, "I see you’re not yet 19 years old. There aren’t many newcomers on patrol as young as you, and among them, you’re quite outstanding. You have a promising future."

"You flatter me, Team Leader." But inside, Lin Qing became even more vigilant.

If he didn’t know that the Training Division was harboring dangers, he might still think that everything here was harmonious, and maintaining a certain vigilance would be enough.

But knowing that something was amiss, he naturally remained constantly skeptical.

"For a newcomer on patrol, the most important things are points and merit."

Cheng Cong sighed and said, "I was like that once, toiling for merit and points. It took a great deal of effort to accumulate enough points and merit for genetic optimization. Even now, I still have to pass an assessment to obtain Two Stars Level clearance."

"It’s very difficult," Lin Qing said noncommittally.

At headquarters, most of the time points can replace merit, except they can’t exchange for the chance to learn Combat Skills, nor can they be used to promote authority levels.

However, they can be used for Genetic Optimization or to buy various resources, so points are also important.

Nonetheless, Lin Qing was most concerned about what this person really wanted to say.

"Speaking of which, Lin Qing, have you undergone Genetic Optimization yet?" Cheng Cong asked with an air of concern.

"Not yet," Lin Qing shook his head slightly.

A newcomer on patrol can only get an advance of a hundred points, and Genetic Optimization requires at least three hundred points at a minimum.

After all, the other party couldn’t access his information and didn’t know the requirements of his contract. He couldn’t guess either.

"It’s hard to accumulate points."

Cheng Cong nodded slightly, lamenting, "It almost takes a thousand points to complete three Genetic Optimizations. If you want to be more stable, it’s best to also practice the Bloodline Evolution Method. That would require several thousand points. Even if you save up without spending, it would take many years to accumulate enough."

He looked at Lin Qing and smiled, "I’m quite optimistic about you, Lin Qing. Next time there’s an opportunity to earn points, I’ll try to bring you along."

Lin Qing’s alertness deepened, but on the surface, he politely thanked him, "Thank you, Team Leader Cheng."

"It’s nothing," Cheng Cong smiled, not saying much more, and stood up, "Alright, I won’t disturb you any longer. We’ll soon arrive at Broken Stele Prison."

Watching Cheng Cong turn and leave, Lin Qing couldn’t help feeling very strange.

He came over just to say this and then left?

It seemed as if the other party was really just trying to make friends, but Lin Qing always felt there was something wrong about it.

"Hmm?"

Lin Qing noticed that Cheng Cong had walked over and sat down next to another newcomer on patrol.

So he wanted to make a friend out of every newcomer?

Lin Qing was somewhat at a loss for words.

Half an hour later, Cheng Cong had talked with six new recruits.

Then, he moved toward the seventh newcomer on patrol.

Lin Qing only gave it a glance and couldn’t be bothered to care anymore. Perhaps it was just this person’s way of socializing?

Suddenly—

"Huh?"

Lin Qing suddenly noticed that when Cheng Cong approached the seventh newcomer, the friendly and warm expression on his face had turned into one with a few traces of solemnity and seriousness, with an unavoidable hint of flattery and servility.

Even... there was some obsequiousness in his actions.

Although it was just a fleeting moment, Lin Qing saw it clearly.

"Strange..."

Lin Qing couldn’t see the seventh newcomer from this angle, but he also felt it was odd.

Even someone like Xu Qiu, a newcomer with an Inspector aunt, wouldn’t warrant such a demeaning level of flattery from members of the Elite Patrol.

Lin Qing took out his phone and typed, ’Who is that newcomer?’

"A new recruit?"

Chen Guang’s search in the information database was instantaneous, and it immediately replied, "Master, the newcomer sitting there should be ’Gong Leping,’ who joined the Training Division of Inspection Headquarters earlier this year, a former Patrol Chief from Tan Zhou City."

’What background?’ Lin Qing typed another line asking.

"No particular background," Chen Guang said. "A native of Tan Zhou with considerable talent in Combat Skills, he has now mastered the original version of the ’Free Body’ Combat Skill."

"Is that all?" Lin Qing frowned slightly.

Such achievements, while not bad, couldn’t explain why Cheng Cong would treat him in such a manner.

Cheng Cong also mastered original Combat Skills and had undergone Genetic Optimization, and he had even experienced a Genetic Awakening.

Whether Gong Leping could successfully undergo a Genetic Awakening was still uncertain.

Why would Cheng Cong be so eager to please him?

There must either be a hidden major background or some other reason.

After another half hour, the plane began to descend.

Broken Stele Prison was located in the Underwater Prison deep within the Cayman Trench south of the Cayman Islands in the North Atlantic’s Caribbean Sea, at a depth of over seven thousand meters.

Therefore, near a solitary island in the vicinity, Inspection Headquarters built an airport.

Once at the airport, one must take a nuclear submarine developed by Dawn Group to quickly reach the interior of the Underwater Prison.

Even with Lin Qing’s current strength, he couldn’t reach there without a nuclear submarine.

The key was the terrifying underwater pressure, reaching seven hundred kilograms per square centimeter.

Professional divers only venture a dozen meters underwater at most. Even with saturated diving technology, it hardly counteracts such terrifying water pressure.

"It’s a pity there’s no Genetic Ability related to diving in Genetic Optimization."

Inside the ’Broken Stele’ nuclear submarine, Lin Qing stood in front of the submarine’s porthole, looking out at the pitch-black seabed, and couldn’t help but sigh to himself.
