Orderly tyrant

【Task Number E29856: Daily Patrol of Sector B, First Floor, Broken Monument Prison, Remaining Slots: 2】

Lin Qing immediately applied for the task upon discovering it.

According to what Chenguang had said, this task was relatively low-risk compared to others.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Broken Monument Prison houses extraterrestrial stowaways who have committed crimes. The more vicious the stowaway, the tighter the supervision, making it even less likely they can cause trouble.

Moreover, the prisoners on the first floor are among the weaker extraterrestrial stowaways.

The daily patrol task is also very simple.

Although God Island is safe, it is full of big shots from extraterrestrial civilizations with significant backgrounds. Even the Zhi Xing Group doesn't want to offend them, so if something happens, it's even more troublesome.

"This task is good."

Lin Qing was quite satisfied, "I just don't know if I'll be selected?"

He just wants to cultivate diligently, avoid trouble, and once he's strong enough, he can start raising his Order Level.

This task is very suitable, and the point rewards are also decent.

Therefore, there are many people applying.

After applying, Lin Qing also looked at other tasks as backups.

Although his personal information has been updated to show that he has mastered the original version of 'Carefree Body', making him a highly sought-after rookie patroller, it's hard to say whether he will be selected.

However, before long—

"Ding."

Lin Qing received a notification on his phone that his task application had been approved.

"Alright." Lin Qing glanced at Yuan Anping, who was still choosing a task, and then left.

...

"I have to leave headquarters at 2 PM for the patrol task."

Inside the apartment, Lin Qing packed his luggage while instructing Zhao Jiayi, who was beside him, "Be good and stay here alone. Don't use your mental power to probe randomly, and don't run around."

"Oh..." Zhao Jiayi asked suspiciously, "This is the patrol headquarters, why are you still so careful?"

"The patrol headquarters isn't that safe." Lin Qing glanced at her.

He left Lin'an City and came to the patrol headquarters, which was like 'pioneering' a new social circle, but his Order Level didn't increase much, only 2.5 levels.

This shows that his current social circle's Order Level is only 2.5.

Fortunately, he can take leave and return to his hometown at any time. Lin'an City is still considered his social circle, otherwise his Order Level would drop directly to 2.5.

According to the theory—

The Order Level depends on two things: his own social status and whether his social circle is peaceful and stable.

Before he left Lin'an City, he could already keep Lin'an City peaceful and stable, but the upper limit was only 5.7.

This is the upper limit of Lin'an City's social status, but it hasn't reached his upper limit yet.

In theory, if he entered a new social circle and lived there, as long as the social status of that circle was higher and stable enough, the increase in Order Level should exceed 5.7.

But now that he's at the seemingly more stable and peaceful headquarters, and the Order Level has only increased by 2.5, it shows that there is definitely a problem with the headquarters.

There must be many hidden risks that he can't see.

However, as long as he continues to improve his strength and his social status gets higher, he can resolve these risks.

"8.2... not too far from level 10."

Lin Qing pondered silently, "My current social circle is this training branch. What are the hidden risks?"

...

That afternoon, at 1:45 PM.

Inside the East District Airport of the patrol headquarters, Lin Qing passed the iris and fingerprint recognition and boarded the plane arranged by the headquarters.

This task is simple, so there's no need to bring Zhao Jiayi along.

There were already a few people on the plane.

This task is very low difficulty, classified as E-level, that is, Easy-level. There were a total of ten people, three one-star elite patrollers, and seven rookie patrollers.

The one designated by the headquarters system as the team leader was the best of the one-star elite patrollers.

"Lin Qing?"

A handsome man with a slightly pale complexion sized up Lin Qing and slowly revealed a smile, "I'm Cheng Cong, the team leader for this mission. I saw your information. You've already mastered the original version of 'Carefree Body'? You're almost a one-star elite patroller, right?"

"Almost." Lin Qing nodded.

The detailed information of the headquarters patrollers is only accessible to the high-level executives of the headquarters.

"Not bad."

The smile on Cheng Cong's face deepened, and his gaze towards Lin Qing became much friendlier.

Although Lin Qing felt that the other party's attitude was a little too friendly, he was already used to it.

Mastering the original version of a battle technique before genetic awakening does indicate considerable potential. After genetic optimization and genetic awakening, he will soon become a two-star elite patroller, with a bright future.

It's normal for the other party to want to befriend him.

After Lin Qing found an empty seat on the plane, he put his backpack on the seat next to him to prevent anyone from getting too close.

Before long, the other six rookie patrollers had also arrived.

Lin Qing suddenly realized that he was somewhat familiar with some of them. They seemed to be the rookie practitioners of the Carefree Body lineage from the training class that taught the Carefree Body battle technique when he first came to headquarters.

After the plane took off, he observed carefully and confirmed that these rookies were all practicing Carefree Body.

This made Lin Qing feel a little strange.

Isn't this just a routine patrol mission on the first floor of the Broken Monument Prison? Why specifically look for rookie patrollers who practice Carefree Body?

"Lin Qing."

At this time, team leader Cheng Cong suddenly walked over from the front, glanced at the backpack Lin Qing had placed on the seat next to him, and smiled, "Is it convenient to chat?"

Lin Qing glanced at him, didn't say anything, just picked up the backpack next to him.

Cheng Cong smiled and sat down.

"Is there anything you need, Team Leader Cheng?" Lin Qing asked directly.

"I just want to make friends with you." Cheng Cong smiled, "I see you're not even 19 years old yet. There aren't many rookie patrollers as young as you, and you're also one of the best among the rookies, with a great future ahead of you."

"Team Leader is too kind." Lin Qing became more vigilant in his heart.

If he didn't know that there were hidden dangers in the training branch, he might have felt that this place was very harmonious and that it was enough to maintain a certain level of vigilance.

But knowing that something was wrong, he naturally maintained constant suspicion.

"For rookie patrollers, the most important thing is points and merits."

Cheng Cong sighed, "I was like this back then, running around for merits and points, and finally managed to scrape together enough points and merits for genetic optimization. Now I still have to pass the assessment to get two-star permissions."

"It's very difficult." Lin Qing perfunctorily replied.

At headquarters, points can often replace merits, but they can't be exchanged for opportunities to learn battle techniques, nor can they be used to advance permission levels.

But they can be used for genetic optimization or to purchase various resources, so points are also very important.

However, what Lin Qing was most concerned about was, what exactly did this person want to say?

"Speaking of which, Lin Qing, are you undergoing genetic optimization now?" Cheng Cong asked with concern.

"Not yet." Lin Qing shook his head slightly.

Rookie patrollers can only advance one hundred points, and genetic optimization costs at least three hundred points.

Anyway, the other party can't check his information, doesn't know the requirements on his contract, and can't infer anything.

"Yeah, it's hard to get points."

Cheng Cong nodded slightly and said with emotion, "It takes about a thousand points to complete three genetic optimizations. If you want to be more stable, it's best to also cultivate a bloodline evolution technique, which costs several thousand points. Even if you keep saving without spending, it will take many years to save enough."

He glanced at Lin Qing and smiled, "I have high hopes for you, Lin Qing. Next time there's an opportunity to earn points, I'll try to bring you along."

Lin Qing became even more vigilant and politely thanked him, "Thank you, Team Leader Cheng."

"It's a small matter." Cheng Cong smiled, didn't say much, and stood up, "Alright, I won't disturb you. We'll be at Broken Monument Prison soon."

Watching Cheng Cong turn around and leave, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel very strange.

He came over, said these things, and then left?

It seemed like the other party really just wanted to make friends, but Lin Qing always felt that there was a problem.

"Hmm?"

Lin Qing discovered that Cheng Cong had walked to another rookie patroller and sat down.

Was he going to befriend every rookie?

Lin Qing was a little speechless.

Half an hour later, Cheng Cong had chatted with all six rookies.

Then, he walked towards the seventh rookie patroller.

Lin Qing just glanced at him and was too lazy to care. Perhaps this was just this person's way of socializing?

Suddenly—

"Huh?"

Lin Qing suddenly noticed that when Cheng Cong walked up to the seventh rookie, the friendly and kind expression on his face had turned into seriousness and a kind of undisguised flattery.

Even... his movements had a hint of obsequiousness.

Although it was only for a moment, Lin Qing saw it clearly.

"Strange..."

Lin Qing couldn't see the seventh rookie's appearance from this angle, but he also felt something was strange.

Even a rookie like Xu Qiu, who had a patrol envoy as an aunt, wouldn't warrant such humble flattery from the elite patrollers.

Lin Qing took out his phone and typed in "Who is that rookie?".

"Rookie?"

Chenguang's query of the information database was instantaneous, and he immediately replied, "Master, the rookie sitting there should be 'Gong Leping', the former patrol chief of Tanzhou City, who joined the training branch of the patrol headquarters in the first half of this year."

'What's his background?' Lin Qing typed in another line to ask.

"He doesn't have any background." Chenguang said, "A native of Tanzhou, he is quite talented in battle techniques. He has now mastered the original version of the 'Carefree Body' battle technique."

"That's it?" Lin Qing frowned slightly.

With just this little achievement, although it's not bad, it shouldn't be possible for Cheng Cong to treat him like this, right?

Cheng Cong has also mastered the original version of the battle technique, and has undergone genetic optimization, and now he has even awakened his genes.

And it's still debatable whether Gong Leping can successfully awaken his genes.

How could Cheng Cong be so flattering?

Either he has a hidden big background, or there is some other reason.

Half an hour later, the plane began to descend.

Broken Monument Prison is located south of the Cayman Islands in the North Atlantic Caribbean Sea, hidden deep in the Cayman Trench at a depth of more than 7,000 meters.

Therefore, the patrol headquarters built an airport on an isolated island near here.

Once at the airport, you have to take a nuclear submarine developed by the Dawn Group to quickly reach the interior of the underwater prison.

Even with Lin Qing's current strength, he couldn't get there without a nuclear submarine.

The key is that underwater pressure of up to seven hundred kilograms per square centimeter is the most terrifying thing.

Professional divers can only dive a dozen meters underwater. Even saturated diving technology is useless against this terrifying water pressure.

"Unfortunately, there are no genetic abilities related to diving in genetic optimization."

Inside the 'Broken Monument' nuclear submarine, Lin Qing stood in front of the submarine's round window, looking at the dark seabed outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Master." Chenguang's voice sounded in his mind, "If you use the Enhancement and Giant Force genetic abilities, use the defense of the Carefree Body battle technique, and add a Tier 1 Starry Sky Battle Suit, you can easily resist this water pressure, but you can't hold on for too long."

Lin Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

His own physical fitness is only about ten times that of ordinary people. Relying on this physical fitness alone, it would be good to be able to dive 200 meters underwater.

However, the Carefree Body battle technique combines flexibility and strength, and changes with the heart. Instinctively, it can increase the body's resistance to water pressure by dozens of times. Adding the doubling enhancement and the Tier 1 Starry Sky Battle Suit, it seems... that he can indeed resist this water pressure.

And the breathing problem is not difficult to solve. The Starry Sky Battle Suit is a spacesuit, and it can also convert mysterious energy in space to maintain normal life activities.

"The premise is that I have so much energy that can support me swimming down in one breath."

Lin Qing felt a little unrealistic when he thought about it.

The huge consumption of being in this fully activated state, trying to swim thousands of meters to the seabed by himself, would be too difficult.

Unless he prepares Black Nest No. 16 in advance and keeps taking it, it may be possible to achieve it.

Before long, the Broken Monument nuclear submarine had passed through thousands of meters of sea and arrived at the underwater prison fixed on the seabed in the depths of the Cayman Trench.

"Remember, our patrol range is only in Sector B on the first floor. Don't leave this area. The work is very easy, only two days."

Cheng Cong instructed the mission team members present before leading everyone out of the submarine, through a long passage, and after passing iris, fingerprint, and facial triple recognition, they arrived inside the prison.

Before long, they saw a group also wearing patrol uniforms walking over.

The short-haired woman at the head smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, you've finally come to hand over. This underwater prison is really too boring."

"You can't stand it after just two days?" Cheng Cong laughed.

After the two groups handed over, Cheng Cong ordered, "Two people as a group, a normal patrol is enough."

After speaking, he led one of the rookie patrollers towards Sector B on the first floor of the prison.

Lin Qing especially noticed that the rookie Cheng Cong was with was 'Gong Leping', whom Cheng Cong had previously flattered abnormally.

He didn't want to care so much, he randomly found a rookie patroller who looked honest, and started patrolling prisons 11-24 according to the work assignment.

This prison housed stowaways from extraterrestrial civilizations, naturally all aliens.

This was the first time Lin Qing had seen aliens other than Zhao Jiayi, but they didn't look much different from Earthlings.

The female prisoner who looked most like an Earthling only had a strange eye color.

The alien prisoner with the biggest difference in appearance had a pair of strange horns, and her facial features were also different, making her look quite rugged.

But in this deep-sea prison, each prisoner was in a state of 'having honestly repented and begging to be released,' silently allowing the search.

Lin Qing also took the opportunity to probe them, all of them were gene awakeners, but they all wore handcuffs and anklets that could trigger a strong electric current, so they could only be honest.

Before long, the first patrol ended.

When Lin Qing returned to the office area through the patrol passage, the other four groups also returned.

Cheng Cong was chatting and smiling with the newcomer 'Gong Leping,' who seemed to have a great background.

However, Lin Qing always felt that his attitude seemed a little different?

"Lin Qing, it's a different person."

Chen Guang's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "This Gong Leping is not the person you saw on the plane before, the life aura is different."
