Who is number one? After Lin Yi received his new identification number, he couldn't help but ponder this absurd question. However, he quickly dismissed it; after all, it was just a number!
Upon returning to the Greater Moscow Defense Zone, Raymond and Yevgeny naturally had to return to their respective units. For Lin Yi, the one he most wanted to keep around was Raymond, given his impressive abilities. Of course, the Kremlin wasn't foolish either. As soon as Raymond entered the Defense Zone, the Gendarmerie came to take both of them away. However, this was a tumultuous time; while Raymond's combat power wasn't top-tier, his Sonic Ability was quite lethal against weaker Zombies, and it could also deliver unexpected damage when ambushing High-Level Combat Power Zombies.
Raymond and Yevgeny hurriedly bid farewell to Lin Yi, expressing their gratitude for his life-saving assistance before climbing into a large military vehicle and driving off into the distance, returning the War God Suit before they left. Countries had already begun promoting this new type of individual weapon, and the public generally viewed it favorably. Moreover, since each suit had its unique identification number, there was no need to worry about someone snatching it away; the identity recognition system on the suit was very advanced!
"This person is inherently kind-hearted, but that Yevgeny seems a bit weak at heart!" Wu Hao remarked to Lin Yi as he watched the vehicle disappear.
"That's not my concern. Who knows if we'll meet again in the future?" Lin Yi smiled. He actually appreciated Raymond's straightforward personality, but not everyone would willingly follow him into battle against Zombies.
Some left while others stayed. Renesmee, Tina, and the twin brothers decided to follow Lin Yi like Nicolas did. Naturally, Lin Yi wouldn't shortchange Renesmee and directly appointed her as the captain of Team Nine. Nicolas also had considerable combat strength, so Lin Yi made him captain of Team Ten. As for Jian, she became captain of Team Eight. Although this seemed a bit unfair to Jian, after witnessing the abilities of others, neither she nor her previous team of three hundred Mercenaries had any objections.
After handling their documentation, everyone headed straight to the Security Council's office in Moscow. Li Qiweng had just arrived. The Zombies that Lin Yi had slain in Klinqi City could be exchanged for Contribution Points under the name of Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps. Furthermore, the rules for exchanging Contribution Points were now more detailed and even clearly priced! An Eight-Star Zombie was worth five million Contribution Points; a Seven-Star Level was one million; a Six-Star was eight hundred thousand; a Five-Star was five hundred thousand; a Four-Star was three hundred thousand; a Three-Star was one hundred thousand; a Two-Star was ten thousand; and a One-Star Level was five thousand. Ordinary Zombies were worth one hundred each. As for Zombies above Eight-Star Level, there were no corresponding prices yet since no records existed for slaying them.
The statistics for Lin Yi's Mercenary Corps' kills began from their entry into Rome. According to various data compiled by over a dozen staff members at the office, the results were astonishing! In just eight months, Lin Yi's Mercenary Corps had exterminated over two hundred thousand ordinary Zombies, most of which were eliminated in Klinqi City. They had killed over a thousand One-Star and Two-Star Zombies each; five hundred Three-Stars; three hundred Four-Stars; sixty Five-Stars; twenty Six-Stars; thirteen Seven-Stars; and one Eight-Star! The total Contribution Points exceeded two hundred forty million—this was the first time the Global Security Conference had allocated such a large amount of Contribution Points that several staff members reported up through layers of management before finally crediting these points to Lin Yi's account.
Lin Yi never expected that just as he escaped from one predicament, such immense wealth would come crashing down upon him. However, he knew that this wealth did not belong to him personally but rather to the entire Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps!
"Exterminating over two hundred thousand ordinary Zombies doesn't even compare to the value of killing fifty Five-Star Zombies," Li Qiweng snatched the document from Lin Yi's hands and tossed it back carelessly.
"Wen, are you still mad at me?" At this moment, Lin Yi and Li Qiweng had been assigned separate rooms in a temporary encampment.
"I wouldn't dare be angry with Captain Lin! Besides, Captain Lin is now powerful and charismatic while also being a super-rich man. All those pretty young ladies like you will naturally look down on someone older," Li Qiweng said with a hint of tears in her voice as she wiped away tears from her delicate face with her slender hand.
Lin Yi knew that this was Li Qiweng's way of forgiving him, but it was just the prelude. If he didn't handle it well, this cold war might escalate.
"Wen, you know I've been looking for you all along, but your father insisted you were alive without telling me where you were!" If Lin Yi had a guilty conscience, he wouldn't even believe it himself. With someone as charming as Ying Sa throwing herself at him, any normal man would find it hard to let go. But if he had to choose between Li Qiweng and Ying Sa, there was no question—he would choose Li Qiweng.
"I've been by his side. After I was knocked into the sea by the Sea Monster, I fell into a coma. But before that, I encountered something strange; I could feel someone dragging me, but I couldn't see who it was! Later, when I woke up and asked my father, he told me it was an Ability User he sent to protect me. However, I never got to see that Ability User!" Li Qiweng became serious and stopped teasing Lin Yi. At that moment, her brows were tightly furrowed, filled with confusion.
"Actually, Taishan and the Fire Dragon were also responsible for protecting you. That Ability User might have been even more powerful. But why didn't Uncle Li let you meet me?" Lin Yi asked.
"I lost my memory for a while because my head hit the ground hard. After initial treatment in Paris, I returned to Lion City for further recovery. When I woke up, my father didn't want me to come find you; he thought you wouldn't be able to protect me and kept making excuses! But later on, when the War God Suit was successfully developed and you became the First-Class Steward of the Mercenary Alliance with impressive achievements, my father finally relented and let me come!" As Li Qiweng spoke, she prepared to hold Lin Yi's arm but then stomped her foot like a girl and walked away.
Lin Yi suppressed a smile and continued to ask, "So how did your strength suddenly increase so much? You must be at least Five-Star now?"
"Six-Star," she replied, looking puzzled. "I found it strange too; I only had One-Star combat power initially. After my injuries stabilized, I suddenly realized I had Three-Star Combat Power. But at that time, I still hadn't regained my memory and didn't know what was happening. Moreover, due to severe brain damage, although I survived, I could have died at any moment. My father helped me with rehabilitation training and gave me a lot of reagents similar to Potential Gene Drugs. However, these drugs were much milder than Potential Gene Drugs and surprisingly had a good regulating effect on my body. With some enhanced training, I gradually absorbed the effects of these reagents which significantly boosted my strength. However, after reaching Six-Star Combat Power, taking more of these reagents had no effect! And since these reagents were scarcer than Potential Gene Drugs, my father stopped wasting them. Later on, I learned he tried them on other volunteers but they had almost no effect!"
"How could Uncle Li experiment on you?" Lin Yi was furious upon hearing Li Qiweng's words, even though this person was his future father-in-law.
"My head injury was severe at the time; the doctors had no options left. This drug that promotes cellular response became my only lifeline. In the end, my father had no choice but to agree to let the doctor use this reagent; unexpectedly, it really worked!" Li Qiweng clearly held no grudge against Li Xianzong since he acted out of concern for her life.
"Well then, I'm just relieved to see you again," Lin Yi sighed as he stepped forward and embraced Li Qiweng. Instantly, a fragrant breeze enveloped him, intoxicatingly sweet.
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a push against his body and saw Li Qiweng glaring at him angrily. "You shameless rogue! Do you think I'm someone you can just hug whenever?"
"No! I just couldn't control myself..." Lin Yi stammered as he suddenly felt a pang in his nose; tears began streaming down his face uncontrollably. Li Qiweng watched him with her lips bitten in hesitation—she wanted to comfort him but hesitated.
At that moment, a sudden commotion erupted outside. A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, disregarding the warnings from Witerson II and others, strode directly toward Lin Yi's room.
"Captain Lin, I am Johnson, the Eastern Europe representative of the Europe United Investment Bank. It is an honor to meet you!" The middle-aged man extended his well-groomed hand politely, presenting himself as a gentleman.
"Hello, Mr. Johnson." Lin Yi looked at the man who had suddenly approached him with confusion, unable to recall any reason he would need to engage with him.
"He hopes you will deposit all your Contribution Points into his bank!" Lin Yi suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his ear; it was Li Qiweng whispering nearby.
Lin Yi was taken aback for a moment but quickly understood. However, negotiations were best left to Wu Hao; he knew Wu Hao's capabilities well.
Power and wealth also brought Trouble. Lin Yi was soon besieged by various well-meaning individuals. Aside from two arms dealers who engaged in detailed discussions with Lin Yi, he had little interest in the rest. Ultimately, the task of procuring weapons was handed over to Pachy, as Pachy understood these matters better than Lin Yi did. As a billionaire, Lin Yi's priority at that moment was to appease Li Qiweng first.
