After the news of this mission appeared, Bai Xiaowen was even more certain that Dr. Muhara of Sound Nest wanted to take him to the South Island branch to undergo genetic modification. It was a trap. Just look at how precious the genetic enhancement liquid is! It's the reward of an S-rank elite mission!
Spirit Realm missions were divided into ordinary missions, elite missions, and hero missions.
Generally speaking, elite missions were more difficult than ordinary missions, and the implicit warning was: If you're not an elite, don't accept it! And the difficulty of this elite mission was S-rank …
Therefore, it was easy to imagine how unreliable the free enhancement just now was. Combined with the usual behavior of Sound Nest, it was very likely that they were brainwashed.
Under the operation of the rules of the Spiritual Realm, effort and harvest were directly proportional. Fruits that were obtained without effort generally had some hidden traps. For example, in the Aaron World, Bai Xiaowen had used a trick to complete the mission, but the aftereffects were also very serious, and he had almost died.
Bai Xiaowen had the Eye of Evolution, which had an extraordinary resistance to hypnosis, charm, and other mental effects. But he couldn't risk his life with the Eye of Evolution to see if it could resist Sound Nest's brainwashing — that would be a joke to his freedom.
After the S-rank elite mission appeared, Bai Xiaowen didn't accept it immediately. He considered for a few seconds, then raised two fingers.
"I have two conditions."
Fokke frowned and said, "Sound Nest's rule is absolute obedience …"
Dr. Muhara stopped Fokke and said with a smile, "Shirai-san, please tell me."
Bai Xiaowen ignored Fokke's impatient eyes and said slowly, "First, I want to know the most detailed information … including the enemy's information and our own information. This time, Kyo Kusanagi rushed back from Kyoto, who was with him? How many people did the organization prepare to capture him, and how strong are they? In a situation where the enemy's situation is unknown, acting rashly will be a disaster. "
Dr. Muhara nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. I can tell you now that only two of his teammates returned to the South Island with Kyo Kusanagi, Daimon Goro and Nitsudo Hanimaru!"
"No other Grandmasters of Combat followed him? Didn't the Kagura family send anyone? "Bai Xiaowen asked.
"No," Dr. Muhara said with certainty.
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "What about our men?"
Professor Mu Yuan asked for a booklet from Foxy and handed it to Bai Xiaowen. "This is the information on some of the enhanced warriors that our organization is researching."
Bai Xiaowen flipped through it and received a notification from the Spiritual Realm.
[You've obtained brief information on the enhanced soldiers of Soundnest.]
"Model K9: Agility-based Warrior (Equivalent to Level 3 Elite). Skills: Rock Spike."
"M4 Model Modified Human: Strength Type Warrior (Equivalent to Level 3 Elite). Skills: M4 Cannon Fist."
The above information was a hint of the Spirit Realm's laws, not the content of the information booklet.
Bai Xiaowen closed the booklet and returned it to Professor Makuhara. "Forgive me for being blunt, but these two types of modified soldiers are not enough to pose a threat to Kyo Kusanagi."
"Capturing Kyo Kusanagi is your mission. Our warriors can only help you pin down his teammates!" Foxy said sharply. "If you don't have the strength to prove your worth, don't even think about getting the precious gene enhancement stock from the organization!"
After a pause, Foxy added with a sneer, "Of course, you can also follow Professor Mu Yuan to the South Island branch. The modifications there are free."
Bai Xiaowen snorted. He certainly knew the difficulty of an S-Rank elite mission. Soundnest would not pay too much for this operation. After all, Soundnest still had the opportunity to try to capture Kyo Kusanagi in the KOF Fighting Competition. This operation was just a small-scale operation by the South Island branch. They were not fully prepared.
"How can these two types of trash modified soldiers hold back Daimon Goro and Hanemaru?" Bai Xiaowen sneered. "Don't joke around. If they can hold on for ten seconds, it's my loss."
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Professor Mu Yuan hurriedly came over to smooth things over. "Shiro-san, you don't understand the strength of the organization. Although this is a small-scale operation by the South Island branch, I have completed the debugging of the two types of modified soldiers in the inventory. They can be operated as long as they are injected with energy. The lack of individual strength can be made up for by quantity. "
"Are there a lot of them?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"There are enough, but the activation energy is limited," Professor Mu Yuan said. "It takes a lot of energy to activate each of these superhuman soldiers. The energy quota of our South Island branch is only 15000 points for this operation..."
After Professor Mu Yuan's explanation, Bai Xiaowen understood the meaning of "energy quota." It was similar to the "resources" in war strategy games. Activating the K9 or M4 modified soldiers required a certain amount of resources. How to allocate the most optimal team also required careful consideration.
"Very well. Then my second condition is to request the right to control these two types of modified soldiers!" Bai Xiaowen said.
This time, it wasn't just Fokko who refused. Even Professor Makuhara shook his head, "Shirai-san, you still don't have the full trust of the organization. Handing over the precious control rights of the transformed soldiers to you is a huge risk. I cannot agree."
Bai Xiaowen frowned and said, "I want the right to control them because I have confidence in my commanding ability. I'm an exorcist who is good at commanding monsters in battle! In my hands, these modified soldiers will be able to display even greater value! Think about it. If the South Island branch can successfully capture Kyo Kusanagi, how much glory will it bring to the two of you? Promotion, salary increase, marriage with a rich and beautiful woman... Oh no, obtaining a higher status and greater power will be as easy as turning over your hand! "
Professor Mu Yuan looked tempted. He thought for a while and said, "I can grant you secondary authority. However, the senior authority will still be with me. I promise I won't hinder your normal operation. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "No problem. I want to take a look at these two types of soldiers first."
After leaving Saga Hotel, the group drove to the underground armory of the South Island branch. Bai Xiaowen saw the two types of modified soldiers in the various test containers.
The K9 modified soldiers were thin and small, like malnourished teenagers. The M4 cyborgs, on the other hand, were all big and muscular.
Bai Xiaowen used insight on the K9 modified soldiers first.
[K9 Modified Soldier (Elite Level 3)/Challenge Rating: 3]
[Race: Humanoid/Human (Semi-mechanized)]
[Attributes: STR 14, DEX 20, CON 15, WIL 11]
[Skills: Rock Spike: Split the ground and cause rock spikes to shoot out. Deal moderate physical damage to enemies in a small area in front of you. There is a chance to knock back the opponent.]
Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly. Although the modified soldiers had excellent attributes, in the face of Kyo Kusanagi, Daimon Goro, and Hanemaru, who were storyline powerhouses, their attributes were bound to be at a disadvantage. By then, the flaw of their only skill would be infinitely magnified!
This [Rock Spike] skill was not surprising. It was a small area damage skill. The additional knockback chance seemed good, but in the face of an enemy whose attributes were completely suppressed, it was impossible for it to be effective.
Bai Xiaowen then looked at the M4 modified soldiers.
