The helicopter carried the two of them back to where they came from.
On the way, Yi Yeqing seemed to have accepted her fate. She was very quiet. Her life as a prisoner on Bell of Death Island had made her used to the feeling of not having freedom. It was just moving from one cage to another. At least with this man who called himself Black Phantom, her treatment should be much better than on Bell of Death Island.
Black Phantom, I have never heard of this person before. Yi Yeqing thought to herself. She had been imprisoned for a few years and knew very little about the changes in the outside world. She browsed through the changes in the past few years on the computer and realized that the name Black Phantom had only appeared half a year ago.
Unbelievable.
In just half a year, he had risen like a comet. His strength was even more terrifying than the criminals on Bell of Death Island. Those criminals were all monsters who had been famous for a long time.
There was one piece of information that made Yi Yeqing extremely shocked. The Germinal Organization, which was extremely powerful before she was imprisoned, was actually forced into a dead end! And the instigator was actually an ordinary traitor!
When she saw this piece of information, Yi Yeqing could not believe her eyes. She was silent for a long time before digesting it.
Her emotions were very complicated, and in the end, it turned into a sigh.
The world was changing rapidly. After a few years of imprisonment, the outside world had changed a lot.
Also, what the hell were the Inhumans mentioned in the information?
Sanctuary Three was in sight. Yi Yeqing put down the computer and looked out the window. Surprise flashed across her face. "That construction site is where we are going. Black Phantom, Sanctuary Three … What is a sanctuary?"
Han Xiao smiled. "You still have a lot of things to understand."
"I know." Emerald Grass nodded. She brushed her messy hair aside and asked softly, "Is it safe here?"
Han Xiao did not answer. He pointed at his eyes with his index finger and then pointed at Sanctuary Three, which was getting closer and closer. He meant for her to see for herself. Yi Yeqing searched for the keyword 'sanctuary' on the computer. After a long time, she found the answer. "So, it is the plan of the Dark Net. Who would have thought that this giant hidden in the shadows would also surface and receive funding from the Six Nations. Hmm, their goal is very simple. Indeed, there is no safer place than this."
From a bird's eye view, the Graymetal Ruins had undergone a drastic change. A new area had been carved out from the desolate ruins. Players and construction teams were shuttling back and forth like ants. Various construction machines were rumbling. The abandoned buildings, bridges, roads, and other structures in this new area were all leveled and replaced with new buildings. The atmosphere was brand new. More than half of the towering concrete walls had been completed. Countless players were climbing up and down the walls, creating a hubbub of activity.
The helicopter landed on the landing pad.
Huang Yu, who had already received the notice, came up and reported everything that had happened in the past few days when Han Xiao was away. They were all trivial matters, and Huang Yu handled them well. He was indeed suitable to be an assistant. He was a talented secretary.
Yi Yeqing looked left and right. Her eyes finally stopped on Han Xiao's face. "I didn't expect you to be the person in charge of this sanctuary. No wonder you need me."
Han Xiao did not comment. He encouraged Huang Yu and brought Yi Yeqing to the cold storage.
After looking at a large amount of Shadow Stalker Viper material, Han Xiao explained the work and then stared at Yi Yeqing, waiting for her reply.
Yi Yeqing pondered for two minutes, nodded, and spoke with assurance.
"The Shadow Stalker Viper's brain, kidney, gallbladder, mucus sac, heart valve, and tailbone cone are all potion materials. They're suitable for making steroids and hormone drugs. Their eggs contain an ingredient called Jianiluoxisimimpi, which promotes bone growth and metabolism. It can be extracted to make a highly effective healing agent. Since you have so many eggs, I can try to breed a group of Shadow Stalker Vipers. Also, you just said that feeding high-energy waste can produce radiation crystals. This is a renewable resource …" Yi Yeqing immediately became very professional when she talked about what she was good at. She sounded more confident when she spoke, and there was a sense of arrogance that came from her confidence in herself.
"What skin?" Han Xiao didn't hear clearly and was confused.
Yi Yeqing rolled her eyes. Her expression seemed to say that she should leave the professional matters to the professionals. You're just a layman, so don't get involved.
Compared to her cold and indifferent attitude just now, Yi Yeqing's expression was more lively now. She seemed to have realized that her situation was not serious, so she became more relaxed and removed some of the disguise that kept people thousands of miles away.
"That skin sounds like something good. It's fine as long as you know what it is." Han Xiao put his hands behind his back and nodded pretentiously, deliberately creating an aura of 'I know what you're talking about'. Yi Yeqing burst out laughing, then quickly stopped laughing.
"Huang Yu, come here!" Han Xiao called, and Huang Yu, who was waiting on the side, ran over. Han Xiao pointed at Yi Yeqing and said, "This is the pharmacist I hired. Arrange a room for her."
Huang Yu nodded and brought Yi Yeqing to an exquisite residence. Then, according to Han Xiao's instructions, he gave her some information about the shelter.
The room was brand new, and the area was not small. At least, it was much bigger than the prison cell.
Emerald Grass laid on the bed and let out a comfortable moan.
After sleeping on the hard iron bed for several years, she finally touched the soft bed again. It was like sinking into cotton, as if her whole body was sinking.
Huang Yu stood awkwardly at the door. Yi Yeqing didn't avoid this action. She treated him like air. He didn't know if he should leave or not. He knocked on the door, coughed, and said, "Then you have a good rest. I'll leave first."
After he left, Yi Yeqing picked up the information and browsed. Her eyes flashed.
"Tens of thousands of inhumans gathered in the shelter. They won't die, I don't have to worry about test subjects, and I won't be infected. It's perfect. I won't repeat the same mistake and cause a plague. Plus, the shelter is free and safe. It's not a bad thing to stay here for a while. I still need time to digest the changes in the outside world …"
…
In the office, Han Xiao leaned on the recliner and stared at the tablet on the table. The screen showed Yi Yeqing's room in real-time.
Yi Yeqing had a criminal record and couldn't be trusted. Therefore, Han Xiao had a backup plan. He installed a few hidden cameras in the walls of the room to monitor Yi Yeqing's every move. Yi Yeqing's performance earlier also fell into his eyes.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, Her performance before and after is very different. When she first got on the plane, she was calm and indifferent, but at the beginning, she intentionally or unintentionally showed her feminine side. Maybe she was pretending to lower her guard to lower my guard. This is also a disguise …
He couldn't be blamed for being suspicious. In his memory, Yi Yeqing was a liberal who wasn't controlled by any forces. She had her own way and was very eccentric. Because he valued Yi Yeqing's ability, Han Xiao was very cautious. After all, she was an important figure in 2.0.
There were other benefits to having Emerald Grass in the guild. Players could exchange jobs (quests) for Emerald Grass's guidance and become Apothecaries. With her in the guild, his plan to create a Player's Main City would be further improved.
In order to build a player's main city, NPCs with various functions were necessary.
"Sir, I've already arranged her …"
At this time, Huang Yu walked in to report. He took a few steps forward and came to the side of the table. He glanced at the monitor screen and stopped talking. His expression became very strange.
He seemed to have found something incredible!
Could this be the legendary voyeur?
Could it be the officer's hobby?
I won't be silenced, will I?!
Huang Yu hurriedly took a step back and lowered his head, pretending as if nothing had happened and pretending that he hadn't seen anything.
Han Xiao knew that Huang Yu had misunderstood. He shook his head helplessly and was too lazy to explain.
If it was a misunderstanding, then so be it. The Great Mechanic Han had never cared about how others looked at him.
"Don't tell anyone," Han Xiao said.
Huang Yu thought that Han Xiao didn't want others to know about his weird hobby, so he quickly nodded and swore.
…
Yi Yeqing was very efficient and started working very quickly.
The players didn't know about the deal between Stardragon and him, and the efficiency of information exchange between players and NPCs was very low. However, to be on the safe side, Han Xiao asked Yi Yeqing to wear a mask to hide her identity. Now was not the best time to reveal her identity, so she had to be more careful.
Due to the asymmetry of information, the players were at a disadvantage in terms of information sensitivity. If there was no mission or story introduction, they wouldn't know what information the various forces needed, and they wouldn't know what the forces were doing in the dark. Most players were busy doing missions, earning money, and farming equipment. Coupled with the mentality of a player, they wouldn't chat much with NPCs, and the possibility of them talking about other NPCs was very low.
Since it was for safety reasons, Yi Yeqing naturally had no objections.
Emerald Grass made all kinds of potions, and the output was very high. Han Xiao got the best quality potions from the healing potions and steroid hormones, but there were still many mediocre quality potions left. Han Xiao allowed Emerald Grass to sell them to the players, showing them the 'multiple functions' of the sanctuary.
Potions had always been very popular. They were equivalent to red and blue potions and enhancement potions. They were usually very expensive and restricted the players from using them in large quantities.
Even so, the players still needed potions. Yi Yeqing's appearance made the players overjoyed.
The news spread quickly, and all the players knew that there was a new NPC selling potions in the sanctuary. The players who came to buy them all stepped on the doorstep, and Yi Yeqing's workshop was very crowded.
Yi Yeqing was very curious about the Inhumans. She realized that the players were the best test subjects, and they were very easy to talk to. As long as she asked, they would usually help (issue potion testing missions), and she didn't have to worry about the consequences of failure. They were the perfect test subjects. Yi Yeqing was like a fish in water, and she liked staying here even more.
Sanctuary Three was a good place.
Han Xiao still had the potions that he got from Louis Research Institution, but he didn't plan to sell them yet. They were all good products, and the effects would only be more obvious when the players' levels increased, so they could be sold for a good price.
Speaking of Louis Research Institution, Han Xiao thought of a small problem. The institution should have known that the person who robbed them was Black Phantom, but they hadn't done anything yet.
"Looks like you're scared by my name and don't dare to take revenge." Han Xiao chuckled to himself.
It was best for the forces to know their place. It would save him a lot of trouble, and he wouldn't have to tear this long-term meal ticket with his own hands.
