I rely on myself

Chapter 168 Mission Preparation
Lin Yuan put down the information in his hand. He had already read all the contents. Then he subconsciously picked up the teacup beside him and tasted the black tea in it. Lin Yuan couldn't help feeling a little relaxed.

As soon as he put down the teacup, Virginie, who was standing next to him, immediately picked up the teapot and poured new black tea.

Looking at this scene, Lin Yuan turned to look at Virginie and couldn't help but recall the first time he saw her. After Virginie re-poured the black tea, she also found that Lin Yuan's eyes were always on her. Her face turned red and then she spoke.

"Master Lin Yuan, do you have any instructions?"

After hearing this, Lin Yuan was awakened from his memories and said with a smile: "Nothing, just thinking about some insignificant things."

Lin Yuan did not intend to talk about his memory of the first time he met Virginie. After all, although it was already in the past, it was still a very sad past for Virginie. If he could avoid it, Lin Yuan would choose to avoid it.

Virginie was a little curious when she heard this, but since Lin Yuan said it was nothing, she certainly wouldn't say anything more, and then changed the subject: "So Master Lin Yuan, are you here for work this time too?"

"Ah, that's right!"

Virginie changed the subject, and Lin Yuan was happy to see this. At the same time, he did leave the college and come here for work.

"I understand. Do you need my help?"

Virginie's face turned serious. After all, she really needed to be serious about what she was going to do next. Otherwise, a single carelessness would lead to mission failure, and in serious cases, it might even bring about her own death.

Lin Yuan took out a piece of information from the documents he had put down, handed it to Virginie and said, "The mission I received is to destroy the factory mentioned in this document. There are a large number of people stationed in this factory, and they are all equipped with automatic dolls. The mission is very difficult, and I am not completely confident that I can do it alone, so I need your help."

Virginie took the paper and quickly read the information recorded on it. She also had some knowledge of this factory. After all, the information that Lin Yuan had seen before was collected by her. After thinking about the relevant information, she spoke to Lin Yuan with a serious expression.

"This factory seems to be related to a certain noble. Is it really okay for us to take action against it?"

Virginie's worry is very reasonable. After all, the so-called nobles attach great importance to their reputation. If they knew that their factory was destroyed by a group of mercenaries who they regarded as sewer rats, they would definitely want to find a way to find that group of mercenaries and kill them in order to maintain their face.

Lin Yuan understood Virginie's concerns and explained, "Under normal circumstances, I would not take on this mission, but this noble family has begun to decline, and I overheard in the academy that other nobles have already taken action against them, so they are now busy with their own affairs and have no time to care about us."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan sat up straight, clenched his fists, placed his elbows on the table to support his head, and then continued confidently.

"And if something really happens and this noble survives this crisis, it will have been a long time. As long as we do things cleanly, they won't be able to find us, so don't worry."

After hearing this explanation, Virginie stopped dissuading him. After all, since Lin Yuan had already made up his mind, as his maid, she would of course support him unconditionally.

If she wasn't worried about Lin Yuan, she wouldn't have said this. Now that the goal had been set, the two began to discuss how to execute it, planning everything from the attack route, unexpected situations, and how to evacuate without leaving any traces.

"In that case, all the contents of the plan have been worked out. Then I'll leave it to you next, Virginie." Lin Yuan couldn't help but stretch his body which was a little stiff from sitting for a long time.

Even though Virginie had been standing and discussing with Lin Yuan for such a long time, she still responded in a proper manner: "Understood, Master Lin Yuan, I will prepare the corresponding matters within three days, please rest assured."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan nodded. He had always been very confident in Virginie. After all, she had never made any mistakes. Over the long term, Lin Yuan believed in Virginie's ability. Turning his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall, Lin Yuan found that it was already very late, so he said, "It's getting late, I have to go back to the academy."

Hearing this, Virginie said a little disappointedly: "Ah, Master Lin Yuan, you are not leaving after dinner, I want to learn some new dishes and want you to taste them."

"No, after all, I have something else to do at the academy, so I won't need it. Maybe next time."

As he said this, Lin Yuan walked towards the door, and seeing this, Virginie hurriedly walked to the door and helped Lin Yuan open it.

"Is that so? That can't be helped. Master Lin Yuan, please have a safe journey."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

With that, Lin Yuan left the apartment and returned towards the college. Virginie only returned to the house after watching Lin Yuan's figure completely disappear.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In the evening, the sky was gradually getting dark, but Lin Yuan still stayed in his workshop and had no plans to leave the college.

Arthur couldn't help but feel a little confused about this. After all, Lin Yuan did not hide from him the fact that he would be carrying out a mission tonight. Arthur, who was confused about this, did not hesitate and asked Lin Yuan directly.

"Lin Yuan, it's getting dark, why are you still staying in the academy? Is there something wrong?"

Hearing Arthur's question, Lin Yuan couldn't help but suddenly laughed out loud.

Arthur was confused and said dissatisfiedly: "What's so funny about this, you guy?"

"I'm sorry. That's right. It's your first time seeing this too."

Realizing that he had gone too far, Lin Yuan apologized and took out a device.

Arthur took a closer look and saw that the device was composed of a black box and a helmet connected by a wire. Seeing this, Arthur also understood what means Lin Yuan had, and he could carry out the mission without going out in person.

As for how it was done, he still asked Lin Yuan to explain it.

Seeing Arthur's gaze, Lin Yuan immediately understood what he meant and introduced directly: "This is a magic device I specially made. I can use it to remotely control a puppet that has been prepared in advance to perform tasks. This can not only conceal my identity well, but also save me from taking risks myself. How about it, not bad, right?"

Hearing this, Arthur couldn't help but admire Lin Yuan's ability. After all, don't think that this device is just about allowing people to remotely control puppets. Through this device, as long as there are enough puppets for manipulation, any country can quickly train an elite army.

After all, this device can allow soldiers to get training without causing casualties, and can solve the problem of high mortality rates caused by new recruits making mistakes when they first enter the battlefield.
