Pretending to be a genius starts with the civilization advancement assessment.

Chapter 149 Resolving the Potential Crisis
Having decided to target the "Blazing Rock Python," Nie Chang didn't hesitate and immediately contacted the settlement in Jinling City to inform them of the news.

Zhang Weiguo and others in the Jinling City settlement were overjoyed when they received the news from Nie Chang.

Zhang Weiguo excitedly stated in the communication: "Please be sure to convey to Principal Lin that everyone in our Jinling settlement will fully cooperate with this operation. We will provide any logistical support needed without hesitation."

This cooperative attitude was entirely within Nie Chang's expectations, after all, Lin Yi had been there once before and was from Jiangsu Province.

While waiting for Nie Chang to return, Lin Yi mentally reviewed the hunting opportunity.

This time, he did not intend to use the energy-consuming "Light Escape" to travel.

He planned to fly there in the small flying ball, then return immediately after resolving the issue, using the journey to replenish his energy.

Go quickly and return quickly to improve efficiency.

After all, the leaders of large nests, although known as the strongest abyssal beasts below the star core in their previous lives, were ultimately only at the star dust level.

For him now, he poses no real threat whatsoever.

In essence, Lin Yi even regarded the upcoming large-scale hunting operation against the leader of a nest as just a warm-up.

This was a warm-up exercise to prepare for dealing with a Star Core-level Abyss Beast.

Originally, according to his plan, he did not intend to deal with the Star Core level so soon. After all, there was still a long time before the first giant abyss tide, and it was not worth provoking those Star Core level beings for the time being.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes.

A few days ago, while chatting with Nie Chang, he inadvertently learned that Li Zhenguo had been under long-term mental and physical strain due to his intense work and dedication.

Now that things are starting to go smoothly and the pressure has eased considerably, the effects of overwork have become apparent, and my health has declined significantly.

Lin Yi immediately took this matter to heart.

He was well aware that his success in this life was inseparable from Li Zhenguo's foresight, courage, and unwavering support.

Both publicly and privately, he hopes that this important partner can recover his health as soon as possible and that they can continue to cooperate stably for a long time.

He didn't want anything to happen to Lao Li, which could lead to turmoil at the top.

Therefore, he came up with the idea of ​​helping Lao Li get started with energy source painlessly and quickly.

Once he begins cultivating source energy, the hidden injuries in his body will be repaired, and Old Li's health will improve significantly.

Does this method exist?

Naturally there is.

The reason he wasn't in a hurry to have his parents cultivate source energy was because he was thinking that this method could be used in the future.

That is, rare items that can only be dropped from gold-patterned crystals of purple hue or higher.

【Star Origin Physique Evolution Fluid】

Purple, and crystal, represent the star core level.

Therefore, Lin Yi put the hunting of Star Core-level Abyss Beasts on his agenda ahead of time.

The star core level represents a qualitative leap.

Any Star Core-level Abyss Beast has a base energy value of at least one million. More importantly, they have initially mastered the power to use "rules".

Faced with such an enemy, the small steel ball or the Rift Spear are still somewhat lacking in strength, making it difficult to even break through the defense, let alone inflict effective damage. The Flowing Cloud Armor has also been reduced to a mere storage tool, and its space is even somewhat too small.

"To do a good job, one must first have the right tools." Lin Yi knew very well that in order to kill a Star Core-level enemy, his own equipment system had to undergo a complete upgrade.

In addition, the small flying ball is a bit slow. Among the blue gold-patterned crystals dropped by the leaders of large nest abyss beasts, there is a chance to drop several flying vehicles, all of which are much faster than the small flying ball.

Besides these, there's also Lao Nie.

This deputy, who came from the General Staff Department, was efficient and had excellent coordination skills; he was his right-hand man.

However, unlike Liu Qiying, who has good talent and can improve quickly through his own efforts, Nie Chang's talent in personal source energy cultivation is relatively ordinary, and his progress is slow.

Lin Yi observed this period of time and confirmed that Lao Nie's value was more reflected in his organizational, management and strategic vision.

Therefore, he set his sights on the rare treasures that might drop from the golden-patterned blue crystal, which could accelerate the breakthrough to the Stardust level, in order to help Nie Chang make up for his talent shortcomings and at least not let him fall too far behind.

This is essentially a way of rewarding merit and stabilizing the core team.

However, Lin Yi never mentioned these thoughts; he only used the excuse of needing to train.

In Lin Yi's view, these "hidden" considerations concerning interpersonal relationships and team building belong to the "doing without saying" part.

He has always been accustomed to expressing recognition and care through tangible results, rather than making empty promises.

Therefore, he would not reveal anything to anyone until he actually got his hands on the item.
-
The little flying ball glided silently across the dilapidated skyline of Nanjing.

Inside the cabin, Lin Yi closed his eyes to rest, his posture relaxed, as if this trip was not to hunt a terrifying beast that occupied a certain area, but to visit a friend.

The aircraft landed smoothly on the landing pad at the Jinling settlement.

The hatch opened, and Lin Yi slowly stepped out. Zhang Weiguo, who had been waiting there, immediately came to greet him along with several high-ranking members of the settlement.

"Principal Lin, you must be tired from your journey!" Zhang Weiguo stepped forward and tightly grasped Lin Yi's hand.

Lin Yi nodded slightly. He came to the Jinling settlement first simply to show respect.

In fact, he could have easily come to the Jinling settlement instead of just the Jinling settlement, taken the small flying ball, killed the Abyss Beast, and then left.

But he felt it wasn't quite right to do that, so he took a few extra minutes to meet with Zhang Weiguo first.

Having fulfilled the formalities, Lin Yi didn't linger any longer. He said directly, "Thank you all for your kindness. I will head directly to the target location shortly. After the kill is complete, I will leave immediately and return to Helu City. I won't stay here any longer."

His words were concise and direct, without any unnecessary pleasantries.

Zhang Weiguo and the others quickly expressed their understanding: "Understood! Understood! Principal Lin, you are very busy. We, the people of Jinling, are extremely grateful!"

They knew very well that for Lin Yi, given his current status, to personally greet them was already a great honor, and they dared not ask for more.

After a brief exchange, Lin Yi said no more and turned to step back into the small flying ball.

The hatch closed, and the aircraft silently took off again, transforming into a silver-gray streak as it sped towards the iconic Zifeng Tower in the city center.

Only when the little flying ball's shadow disappeared from sight did Zhang Weiguo suddenly come to his senses and growl at the person next to him, "Quick! Go to the monitoring room."

The group practically ran into the settlement's monitoring room.

On the huge energy monitoring screen, a green dot representing Lin Yi was rapidly approaching the target location.

There, a glaring red sign stood, and next to it, a line of cold, clear numbers: 99900.
