Chapter 87 - 87 Potion Stolen! Opportunity!
87 Potion Stolen! Opportunity!
“Alright, next, train well. I’ll write a document about some basic tactics for the direct attack strategy. When it’s out, you guys should hurry up and practice.”
Lin Bei quickly arranged the training mission and left the training room to find Green Collar and Unparalleled Plume.
“By the way, I need to move. Do you have a suitable place?”
“Huh? Are you moving in with your girlfriend?”
Unparalleled Plume asked excitedly.
“Ahem, no.”
Lin Bei was helpless.
“I see. Alright then.”
Unparalleled Plume shrugged and said, “I’m living with Green now. If you want to stay, you can go to my villa. However, the rent is not cheap!”
“Address, price.”
“It’s in Lihai Garden, the ninth building. As for the price, 100,000 yuan a month. It is very cheap!”
“What did you say?”
“Number 9, Lihai Garden. What’s wrong?”
“…So it’s you.”
The corners of Lin Bei’s mouth twitched slightly. He recalled that his rental application had been rejected by the owner. He remembered that the rental information was No. 9 of Lihai Garden.
Moreover, he remembered that the rent was only 60,000 a month, right?
Good lord, the price had directly increased, right?
“What’s me?”
Unparalleled Plume was stunned and did not understand.
“See for yourself if this is your house.”
Lin Bei could not be bothered to explain. He sent the chat record of his rental application to Unparalleled Plume.
Xiao Yu: Villa No. 9 of Lihai Garden. Urgently looking for a renter. 60,000 a month, for half a year or longer! The owner is going abroad for studies. If you’re interested, contact me directly!
Xiao Yu: I’m not renting it anymore! The epidemic overseas is serious, and the owner is not leaving the country! Sorry to the tenant who contacted me previously!
“Well…”
Unparalleled Plume looked awkward and at a loss.
Hey, this was too embarrassing!
“Xiao Yu, is that you?”
“That… misunderstanding. Hehe, it’s a misunderstanding.”
“Then you want 100,000 a month?”
“No, 60,000. No, 50,000! Just 50,000!”
“Alright, I’ll transfer the money to you later.”
Lin Bei said with a smile.
“… Okay.”
Unparalleled Plume was depressed and handed the key and room card to Lin Bei.
After Lin Bei left, Unparalleled Plume heaved a sigh of relief.
Green Collar couldn’t help but laugh. “Cousin, you’re too cute!”
“Hey! You’re asking for a beating!”
Unparalleled Plume blushed and pounced forward.
…
After taking the room card and key, Lin Bei called a truck and moved the things in his dormitory to the villa.
The environment of the Lihai Garden was pleasant. There was a huge artificial lake nearby. Green trees surrounded it, and the air was very fresh.
“Yes, not bad.”
Lin Bei was very satisfied with this villa and wanted to buy it.
In any case, he did not lack money now. He was very satisfied with this place. When his sister recovered, he could bring his family over to live.
“I’ll talk to her later and see if she can offer a friendly discount.”
Lin Bei walked around the villa. There was a garage, a pool, a garden, and even an entertainment hall. He had to admit that Unparalleled Plume really knew how to enjoy herself.
“Not bad. There’s a Level S game nutrition chamber that can be used by Little Sister. It saves my money.”
In the entertainment hall, Lin Bei discovered a gaming pod. It was the highest-grade. If it was filled with nutrient solution, it could sustain the user for a week. It was not bad.
Lin Bei planned to buy one for himself later. This way, he would not have to go offline frequently to rest.
This was more efficient. To him, it was very worth it.
Suddenly, an urgent ringtone sounded. Lin Bei took a look and saw that it was an unknown number.
“Hello?”
“Mr. Lin Bei, bad news. Your sister’s Genetic Strengthening Potion has been intercepted!”
“What?!”
When Lin Bei heard this, his expression changed. He frowned and said, “What happened?”
“A traitor appeared in the transport team and stole the Genetic Strengthening Potion!”
Lin Bei said in a low voice, “What do you plan to do? I paid for it. Moreover, my sister’s situation requires this potion urgently!”
“We know. Don’t worry, we will definitely do our best to recover the potion! It’s just that in terms of time, you’ll have to wait for a day or two.”
“Then what if you can’t get the potion back?”
Lin Bei frowned. “Then my money was wasted?”
“No, Mr. Lin. This is caused by our negligence. If we can’t recover the potion in the end, we will supply you with a brand new potion! So don’t worry about your sister!”
The person on the other end of the phone explained, “I informed you because you have the right to know. Moreover, it might take some time to recover the potion and the treatment might be delayed for a few days. But don’t worry, we have already mobilized the Special Operations Team. There will be a result soon!”
When Lin Bei heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He asked, “Special Operations Team?”
“That’s right. These are the elite troops of our Dragon Country. With them around, we will definitely be able to recover the potion! However, the operation over there still needs some time. Please forgive us!”
“Alright, I understand. Then tell me, where did you lose the potion? I have the right to know, right?”
“It’s in the suburbs of Magic City. As for the specifics…”
“Alright, thank you for your hard work.”
Lin Bei hung up and fell into deep thought.
The place where the potion was lost was not far from his current location. It was less than 20 kilometers away.
With his current speed, if he ran over, he would be there in ten minutes.
“If I can make a move before the Special Operations Team and find the Genetic Strengthening Potion, according to the person-in-charge who called previously, they would have to provide me with another bottle of Genetic Strengthening Potion. This way, I’ll have two bottles of Genetic Strengthening Potion!”
Lin Bei was a little tempted.
One had to know that Genetic Strengthening Potions were very precious. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not have a chance to obtain them!
It was only because his sister’s condition was special that he had this opportunity!
Now that the potion was lost, it was a chance for him!
A chance to obtain a Genetic Strengthening Potion!
Yes or no?
Lin Bei frowned and was conflicted.
This was his only chance.
If he missed this opportunity…
Lin Bei thought about it and gritted his teeth.
Let’s do it!
No matter what, he had to go over and investigate the situation first!
If things could not be done, it would not be too late to retreat!
If there was a chance, why not take a bottle of Genetic Strengthening Potion for free?
After making the decision, Lin Bei quickly ran to the kitchen, put away the various knives, and put on a mask and a cap. He left the villa and ran towards the place where the potion was lost!
Fortunately, this place was relatively remote and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. Only then could Lin Bei run at full speed.
Otherwise, he could only give up on this operation.
Now, Lin Bei was running at full speed. His 100-meter coverage exceeded 4 seconds. He would be able to reach the scene in at most 10 minutes.
“I hope it’s not too late!”
Lin Bei clenched his fists, looking forward to it.
He had already used the Divinity Fragment to strengthen his body. He really wanted to know what kind of changes would happen to his body if he continued to use the Genetic Strengthening Potion under such circumstances.
…
In an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs of Magic City, more than ten burly men in combat uniforms stood together with vigilant expressions.
“Ninth Brother, you were hasty this time.”
The bald man in the lead frowned.
“I had no choice. If this dragged on, I wouldn’t have a chance.”
In the team, a short-haired young man who was half a head shorter said in a low voice, “The organization is determined to get this bottle of Genetic Strengthening Potion. I was forced to do this!”
“But the Dragon Country’s Special Operations Team will make a move soon!”
“It’s fine. The higher-ups have already tried to delay them. We still have time!”
“Is that so? That’s good!”
The bald man’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He grinned and said, “In that case, we’ve completely obtained this bottle of potion! Well done. When we report it to the organization later, you will earn a lot of points!”
“Thank you, Boss!”
“It’s a small matter! Next, let’s move quickly and enter the underground base to prevent any accidents from happening and exposing our whereabouts!”
The bald man said in a deep voice, “We can leave after everything quites down.”
Then, the group entered the depths of the warehouse and disappeared.
…
In the suburbs, near the location where the potion was stolen.
Lin Bei panted and stopped. He wiped his sweat and looked around. His enhanced five senses instantly captured a lot of information!
The air was filled with the faint smell of blood.
“Is this the place?”
