The technology of this world runs parallel to both normal and special forces. It can function without the special forces, but when supported by them, technology performs more effectively.
As the insects were broken down into life matter, Zheng Yichen sat on the chair connected to the machine and felt needles prick his back; then, a vast influx of Life Power began to infuse his body.
This was not the sensation of an infusion but a rather pure injection of Life Power. Ahn Ke from Hazy City had also conducted research on Life Power; simply accumulating it hardly led to an advancent in lifeform level.
On the contrary, those who did so without a special physique or so other ability would end up with malignant mutations. At best, there would be cellular cancer mutations; benign alterations were... one in ten thousand, perhaps.
This machine was much more powerful than the ones Ahn Ke had, and as his body obtained a large amount of Life Power, Zheng Yichen started feeling the Power of Death within him becoming neutralized.
"There is no conflict between Life Power and the Power of Death, only neutralization and transformation. We can increase the output,"
an operator, observing Zheng Yichen’s body scan data, comnted. They had considered the potential conflict between Life Power and the Power of Death. Now that Zheng Yichen was not experiencing such issues, they could further increase the output, enabling Zheng Yichen to recover to normalcy in the shortest ti possible.
In their view, Zheng Yichen’s current state was a unique way of preserving life, allowing him to withstand that massive explosion and to ’survive’ normally in Hell.
Although from the scan results, Zheng Yichen no longer seed to be alive.
But with a substantial amount of Life Power neutralizing the anomalies in Zheng Yichen’s body, he ’ca back to life.’ The staff recorded such information as a reference for future related research.
The explosion had torn open space, leaving behind a difficult-to-repair rift; Hell and the Mortal Realm beca linked, inevitably leading to exploration and research. However, the most significant issue in their world was that the living entering the domain of the dead had to die.
Even top-tier warriors could not avoid it; now, they could reference Zheng Yichen’s situation in attempting to find a way to escape.
"We’re running low on life matter," said a worker half an hour later, the corner of his mouth twitching. Although the machine’s conversion rate of Life Force wasn’t 100%, it was still the highest in this world and top-tier equipnt.
An abundance of insects was brought here and transford into Life Power, sufficient to repair the bodies of any top-tier Body Cultivation warrior after severe injuries. However, Zheng Yichen’s body was not yet fully recovered, not even one-third of the way there.
"Is it because the consud Life Power is being used to neutralize the Power of Death?" The worker muttered before urging outside operations teams in battle to bring back more insects quickly.
Zheng Yichen was awakened by a burst of noisy sounds.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw the buildings blasted open and so injured workers. He looked at his own palm, then stood up instantly, with the needles on the chair retracting as Zheng Yichen rose.
His body had nearly recovered; previously, his state was 1% normal life plus 99% death-tainted life. It had now shifted to 80% normal life, with the remaining 20% still filled by the Power of Death.
The amount of Life Power provided by this machine was ample, but it seed less effective than actively hunting for his bodily recovery rate.
However, a recovery to this extent was adequate. He just needed to find so normal prey next, for instance, appropriate targets like Supre Demons.
"I’m terribly sorry, so unexpected problems occurred here, but we have dealt with them,"
a worker hurriedly ran over and said to Zheng Yichen, visibly flustered. Zheng Yichen receiving ’treatnt’ here was a critical order from above—they had to heal the Proxy Agent.
Despite their various precautions, they still faced complications. A disguised Boundary Breaker took the opportunity to cause destruction.
Those Boundary Breakers seed to be suicide soldiers, always exceedingly covert. They lurked nearby and launched a suicidal strike, even using so extrely dangerous weapons.
"Please, you..."
"No need, I’ve mostly recovered," Zheng Yichen said with a smile to the worker. "I should go back and take a vacation."
The worker nodded, a bit dazed.
Zheng Yichen glanced at the blown-through area. Aside from so injured people, all other traces had already been cleaned up. The injured had received treatnt and quickly regained health. In this city currently under military control, every deployed resource was the best available.
Assured that everything was indeed alright, Zheng Yichen planned to leave. He had been woken up by the commotion and now simply wished to return ho and catch up on sleep. As for the subsequent issues of this world, they were no longer his concern.
The mission was complete, and although this world had suffered significant damage, it was much better off compared to the Apocalypse World, having retained its high-end combat forces.
And besides enjoying his vacation, he also had issues with a Supre Demon to resolve.
At the entrance of the Dusk Cathedral, the sa assistant he had seen before was waiting for him, her na was Nelly.
Nelly went straight to the point and said, "Proxy Agent sir, everything you asked for is ready."
Zheng Yichen nodded and glanced at so large boxes inside the church, saying, "Thank you, then. I’ll leave a storage locker here. Shall we keep in touch regularly?"
"That would be really great!" Nelly suppressed her excitent. It was one of the tasks assigned by her superiors, but its success ultimately depended on whether the Proxy Agent was willing. Now that the Proxy Agent had brought it up on his own, why wouldn’t they agree?
Although the think tank had analyzed a very high probability of such an event occurring—their world’s power structure and technological strengths were sufficiently appealing to a Proxy Agent—until it was a done deal, it amounted to nothing.
The importance of a Proxy Agent was self-evident. Even after knowing that their world had been invaded, any invasion in the short term would be exposed, and general Boundary Breaking Factions would not invade again. But who could guarantee there wouldn’t be exceptions?
Even without exceptions, they were willing to invest in a Proxy Agent who could turn the tide, even though the Proxy Agent often wandered into danger, making any investnt potentially futile.
But investnt aside, just the Proxy Agent’s contributions alone were enough to warrant a reward from them.
"Then it’s settled. I’ll take care of the remaining matters now so I can get so more sleep," said Zheng Yichen as he approached the boxes, the small computers on them displaying information about their contents
The Protective Field Generator was in these boxes, ready to replace the electromagnetic protective equipnt in the motorcycle, along with so other components.
Beyond that were so electronic devices and other special miniaturized equipnt, part of which could be sent to the witches’ research lab, and the rest to wealthy lady Ahn.
He then found Tia to check his current rit points. Amidst the line of pluses and minuses, a large 66 had been added at the end.
So far, he had accumulated a total of 204 rit points, achieving half of his modest goal, having gained nearly a hundred rit points directly in this world.
A lot? Considering the enemies he had encountered this ti, Zheng Yichen didn’t think it was too much—three Arrivers!
If his body hadn’t been sturdy enough, if he couldn’t recover by drinking blood, if he didn’t have thermal vision to see through hidden Arrivers, he would have been imdiately assassinated.
"I’ve earned a lot of rit points, but why don’t I feel happy about it?" Zheng Yichen handed over the components and materials that could be used as enhancent material to Tia, "How much for these?"
"4 rit points, four million." Tia promptly reported a figure.
Zheng Yichen nodded without surprise. It wasn’t that he hadn’t wanted to exchange for more powerful parts before, but he had been short on rit points. Replacing parts in the motorcycle was fine, but the motorcycle had already been enhanced with Sky Pillar’s energy.
To maintain that level of enhancent, extra rit points would be needed to allow Dusk to perform an enhancent transfer. This ant lding the original parts that were to be replaced into the new components to retain their special qualities.
For generic items, cash would suffice, but the motorcycle was not generic. Even though Zheng Yichen provided the design, its use was only to reduce monetary costs. The consumption of rit points was a fixed requirent.
"Let’s get started," he said.
Tia made a note of the rit point expenditure in her notebook, took the new enhancent material provided by Zheng Yichen, and left. This ti the enhancent was only applied to the motorcycle, as there were no improvents to be made to the weapons and equipnt.
Later, Zheng Yichen moved so other items to a room in Dusk Territory he hadn’t used much. He then found another Dusk nun and spent 1 rit point to open a storage locker connected to this world. With that, the matters here were temporarily concluded.
He left this world, but the tasks for its people were far from finished; the selection of Dusk rcenaries was still ongoing. After all the combat personnel were selected, the rest would be ordinary people.
The selection process for ordinary people would take even longer; this world had been severely damaged, but most of the human race survived. This ant that for the next several decades, or even longer, they would continue such selection processes, as well as follow-up research on the Firmant Wheel.
To completely eliminate the threats posed by the Firmant Wheel—consuming nearly all the rare resources of their world—they couldn’t abandon the Firmant Wheel because of its unresolved dangers. It’s a pity it wasn’t considered a ’vehicle.’
Otherwise, they might have done sothing even more drastic, sending Dusk rcenaries with the Firmant Wheel to complete missions, crushing the Boundary Breakers outright!
"Miss Nelly, here is your commission letter." A commission letter was delivered into the hands of Miss Nelly; from now on, she would be the first ’diplomat’ assigned to monitor the information passed by the Proxy Agent and to interact with him.
