A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1073 Nothing Gained
As the new day's competitions unfolded in Academy City, Lin Wuming had already set foot on the land of the world's largest island.

The Academy City's unique supersonic passenger plane took Lin Wuming to the other side of the world in just one hour.

Greenland is sparsely populated and, due to its location near the Arctic Circle, its climate is not suitable for human habitation. However, from another perspective, it is an ideal location for scientific research.

Therefore, Academy City has established a fairly complete branch base on this island, which can provide ample support for Lin Wuming.

Of course, Lin Wuming ultimately did not need the support from these local bases.

Because the Amakusa-style people have been waiting here for a long time, and considering the special nature of this mission, the Amakusa-style, being a magician, is far more trustworthy than the science-side branch base.

"Senior Anonymous, please give me your guidance!"

At the airport exit, a black-haired girl bowed at a 90-degree angle and greeted the passengers in a loud voice.

It was just a normal volume, but the hall was empty except for them, so the sound seemed particularly loud.

The girl seemed startled by her own echoing voice and gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.

The girl wore a cool and stylish denim jacket, paired with comfortable athletic jeans and sneakers, creating a cohesive overall look.

"You are Amakusa-style..." Lin Wuming gave up trying to recall, since even if he did, he wouldn't be able to match the name with the face.

"I am Wuhe. I will be assisting Senior Wuming in this investigation. Please guide me!" The girl bowed again politely.

"This is my side. Please show me the way," Lin Wuming said, then asked, "Where are the others from the Amakusa Clan?"

"I'm so sorry!" Wuhe bowed again. "Her Highness the Pope originally intended to come in person, but as a saint, her every move is under scrutiny, so she cannot move freely."

“I understand, you don’t need to apologize for this,” Lin Wuming said.

Itsuki still didn't look up: "Our Amakusa-class has a limited number of people, and we also have missions to handle, so we can only split up—the closest one is me!"

"I understand. Stop bowing and apologizing," Lin Wuming said. "Let's get started!"

"Understood!" Wuhe stood up straight and puffed out his chest. He tilted his head slightly and looked Lin Wuming up and down for a moment, then suddenly unbuttoned his denim jacket and took it off, revealing a rock-themed short-sleeved T-shirt underneath.

Then he tied a knot in the jacket he had taken off and fastened it around his waist.

"Excuse me, Senior Wuming." With that, the girl stepped forward and took Lin Wuming's arm.

"This is a necessary disguise," Wuhe explained in a low voice as he led Lin Wuming outside.

Because he arrived in a hurry, Lin Wuming did not bring any luggage, and he was wearing an ordinary boys' uniform.

Summer clothes, short sleeves.

It's clear that Wuhe took off her coat and wore short sleeves to match Lin Wuming's attire.

Pretending to be a young couple visiting the area, Lin Wuming and Wuhe strolled along the coastline.

But soon, Wuhe, who was already blushing, gave up on acting according to the plan.

The sudden need to pretend to be a couple was still too much of a shock for her.

In Greenland, you hardly ever see anyone. Who are they pretending for?
Moreover, wearing short-sleeved summer clothes in such harsh conditions already made Lin Wuming and his group quite conspicuous; there was no point in continuing to disguise themselves. After regaining their composure, Wuhe began to explain the situation they had gathered.

Based on preliminary data investigation, there are a total of twenty locations in Greenland that could serve as the base for the "Queen's Fleet," or areas of sea suitable for the "Queen's Fleet" to be stationed.

Wuhe has a driver's license and has borrowed an off-road vehicle from the base, which allows him to take advantage of the vehicle's mobility and travel all over the place in a day.

Compared to the serious Itsuki, Lin Wuming, influenced by Chairman Aleister's words, didn't take this mission too seriously and really embarked on this journey with a sightseeing mentality...

Standing on the cliff by the sea, Wuhe observed the distant sea and glaciers through binoculars.

Lin Wuming stood beside her, gazing into the distance, fully enjoying the magnificent view he had never seen in either of his two lives.

This was the fifth stretch of coastline they had visited, and as expected, the area was still deserted except for them.

This is not surprising, as such wilderness areas are not suitable for tourism, especially since Wuhe selected the most remote and desolate locations in order to search for the "Queen's Fleet".

In many places, if it weren't for their top-notch athletic abilities, they wouldn't even be able to come.

"As expected, there's still nothing." Itsuki put away his binoculars and sighed.

"Relax, just think of it as sightseeing," Lin Wuming said calmly. "We're here to scout, so not finding the target is normal, right?"

“That’s what they say…” Wuhe’s expression was somewhat subtle as she carefully observed Lin Wuming’s expression.

Seeing that Lin Wuming really didn't care, he breathed a sigh of relief.

When Wuhe heard that he would be working with that "nameless master", he was actually under a lot of pressure.

In her view, Lin Wuming, who was able to defeat the waters behind the scenes and was also a "nameless director," was undoubtedly an extraordinary figure.

When such a high-ranking figure makes a move, he is bound to achieve something.

Therefore, Wuhe reasonably guesses that some crucial evidence must have been discovered on Greenland, which attracted Lin Wuming to come in person.

But now it seems that this unknown senior is not so keen on searching for evidence.

Putting down the binoculars, Wuhe somewhat laboriously took out his notebook and pencil from his pocket and circled the coordinates of the location.

Then she stuffed the notebook and pencil back into the pocket of her jacket—to maintain consistency with Lin Wuming's style of dress, she had taken off her jacket and tied it around her waist, making it a little inconvenient to use the pockets.

“I said,” Lin Wuming couldn’t help but say when he saw the girl’s somewhat awkward movements, “you can put on your coat… I came in a hurry and didn’t have time to prepare winter clothes.”

Greenland is close to the Arctic Circle, and the average temperature at this time of year is between -18 degrees Celsius and 4 degrees Celsius; while at the location where Lin Wuming and his team were investigating, the temperature is stable at around -10 degrees Celsius.

This can't be sustained by just a short-sleeved T-shirt.

In fact, even if Wuhe could use magic to keep warm, he wouldn't last long in such an extremely harsh environment.

The main reason was that when Lin Wuming used his psychic barrier to keep warm, he also enveloped his temporary partner in it.
