Chapter 430: A bold guess: training a successor?

...Quiet.

When I heard Cai Fei's voice coming from the communication device.

Lin Yang and Que Tian both became silent in an instant.

Then, they looked at each other at the same time.

Gulu.

Que Tian's throat moved a few times, staring straight at Lin Yang, and said in disbelief:

"Team, Team Leader, I just heard... wasn't it hallucination? Was it Cai Fei calling us?"

Lin Yang also swallowed, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said softly:

"I guess I heard it right, it's Suzaku calling us!!"

"..."

After the words came out, they both fell silent for a moment.

The call from Suzaku was truly a huge surprise.

The surprise was so unreal to both of them!

After spending more than half a year in an unknown space, I felt isolated from the world.

Now, when I suddenly heard the call from Suzaku, the excitement I felt was completely indescribable.

next moment.

Lin Yang took a deep breath and immediately responded:

"Suzaku, this is Lin Yang. I have received your call and have simultaneously activated the wartime positioning authorization. Requesting positioning!"

After replying, Lin Yang couldn't help but rub his hands, full of anticipation.

The fact that they could receive Suzaku's call proved that Suzaku should not be too far away from them now.

Through wartime authorization, Suzaku should be able to vaguely locate their current location!

Now we just have to wait for Suzaku's next response.

If they can get a response from Suzaku later, it means they are basically rescued this time.

At the same time, just as Lin Yang responded.

In an unknown space not knowing how far away from them, the Suzaku ship was sailing at a constant speed in the darkness.

In the cabin, Cai Fei, Yuan Hao and Ding Hui were making calls separately.

Their calls were almost incessant.

There was a look of fatigue on everyone's face.

Although it is not obvious, one can still see the fatigue and sadness between his brows.

Apparently, they had been making these calls non-stop for quite some time.

It lasted so long that everyone's voice became a little hoarse.

After another call, Yuan Hao picked up the water cup beside him, took two big sips of water to moisten his throat, glanced at the date and time, and couldn't help but sighed:

"Alas, we have been calling for several months, but we still can't get in touch with the team leader and my brother. I wonder how they are doing now."

Hearing this, Ding Hui didn't say much and continued calling.

Cai Fei said firmly: "I believe that the two team leaders will be fine."

Yuan Hao nodded, glanced at the communication device, and complained for the nth time:

"This damn anti-enemy decoy design makes it impossible to use any pre-recorded voice or equipment to communicate. I can only shout in person. My throat can't take it anymore!!"

Cai Fei glanced at him and said, "This design is also to prevent the enemy from using audio to lure friendly forces after obtaining warships and communication equipment. If your throat can't stand it, take a break first."

"It's not to the point where I can't hold on any longer!"

Yuan Hao took another sip of water and continued to call out.

Cai Fei sighed, took a sip of water, and prepared to make another call.

but.

next moment.

A familiar voice came from the device.

"Suzaku, this is Lin Yang. I have received your call and have simultaneously activated the wartime positioning authorization. Requesting positioning!"

This was exactly the response Lin Yang made after receiving the call just now.

Cai Fei paused.

Yuan Hao and Ding Hui also turned their heads and looked over immediately.

Then, expressions of deep surprise appeared on the faces of the three people at the same time!

"It's the team leader, it's the team leader's response!!"

Cai Fei shouted excitedly:

"Team leader, they received our call!!"

Yuan Hao and Ding Hui couldn't help but clap their hands and said repeatedly: "That's great, the team leader and the others are fine!"

"Quick, try to locate the team leader!"

Cai Fei shouted again and immediately responded again:

"Team leader, I'm Cai Fei, this is Suzaku. We've received your reply and have started the location search. We will carry out rescue as soon as possible! Please try not to move over a large area!!"

He repeated it three times in a row and then looked at the positioning system.

"As long as we locate the team leader, we will jump immediately!"

……

"Team leader, I'm Cai Fei, this is Suzaku. We've received your reply and have started the location search. We will carry out rescue as soon as possible! Please try not to move over a large area!!"

On the other side, when Lin Yang and Que Tian were nervously and expectantly waiting for Zhuque's second response, Cai Fei's voice was heard again from the communication device.

Hearing this response, Lin Yang and Que Tian were completely relieved.

"We're saved, team leader. Now we're really saved." Que Tian felt happy.

Lin Yang nodded: "Since they responded so quickly, it seems that Suzaku is not too far away from us. We will wait here for their rescue."

"Finally, I can leave this damn place." Que Tian sighed.

The mission of entering the unknown space this time is to explore the location of the base of the Dark Night Clan.

Now not only has he found the location of the base, Lin Yang also used the stone carvings to directly destroy the entire base of the Mingye tribe.

This mission can be said to have been successfully completed.

No.

To be more precise, it was exceeded!

Therefore, now we just need to wait for Suzaku to arrive before returning and leaving the unknown space.

"Not only have we completed the exploration of the location of the Midnight Clan's base, we have also directly destroyed that base. I wonder how many merit points and contribution points we can get." Lin Yang whispered.

"Team leader, you seem to care particularly about merit points and contribution values?" Que Tian asked after hearing this.

If he remembered correctly, Lin Yang had chosen to venture into the ruins for the sake of merit and contribution points.

But merit points and contribution values ​​are actually not of much use.

Of course, for Lin Yang, Que Tian believed that merit and contribution were of little use to him.

Merit points and contribution values ​​are two scoring rules within the Human Alliance that are somewhat similar to the currency system.

Merit points can only be obtained through some special tasks and tasks of higher difficulty.

Contribution points can be obtained from any task.

When both accumulate to a certain amount, they can be exchanged for resources in the Human Alliance.

For example, genetic drugs, extraordinary properties substances and so on.

However, although some relatively scarce and precious resources can be exchanged, the higher the level of the resource, the higher its value, and the merit and contribution points required for exchange are also very, very large.

For example, high-quality extraordinary properties materials may not be able to be exchanged for one even after dozens, hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation.

For Lin Yang, he has a powerful master and even more powerful elders.

It is easy to get high-level resources that require a lot of contribution points to exchange in the Human Alliance. Those high-level resources are mainly for other ordinary members. For Lin Yang's master and elders, they are not considered high-level.

Therefore, in Que Tian's opinion, Lin Yang does not need to work hard for this little credit and contribution.

Merits and contributions can only be exchanged, and Lin Yang can obtain both the fat old man and the silver-haired woman in a more cost-effective way.

So he didn't quite understand why Lin Yang cared so much about merit and contribution.

Apart from exchanging some resources, this thing basically has no other use.

It is not even as cost-effective as some of the benefits obtained during the mission.

"This..." Lin Yang hesitated for a moment, and told the truth: "To be honest, I don't really care about it. It's mainly because Director Song Qingfeng seems to want me to get a lot of credit and contribution."

He and Que Tian have shared life and death together.

There is nothing wrong with this.

He himself really doesn't care about credit and contribution.

On the one hand, he has a system, and on the other hand, he can still rely on his parents.

He feeds on the fat old man, his cheap master.

At least at this stage, he doesn't even need to ask for the resources he needs, the fat old man will prepare them for him.

It is indeed not necessary to exchange contribution points for resources.

But before the mission, Song Qingfeng emphasized that he hoped he could get as much credit and contribution as possible.

That's why he cares more about these things.

Hearing this, Que Tian's eyes narrowed: "Is this what Director Song meant? He wants you to get as much credit and contribution as possible?"

"Yes."

Lin Yang nodded and responded:

"Director Song has taken good care of me. After I joined the Abnormal Management Bureau, he has given me a lot of convenience and help in terms of tasks. He has not asked me to do anything. This is the first time he has asked me to do anything, so I also want to do as much as possible."

"Oh...if that's the case, then I have a guess." Que Tian suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"What?" Lin Yang was curious.

"Haha, team leader, you have only been in contact with the Alien Management Bureau and the Human Alliance for a short time, and you don't know enough about the Human Alliance and the Alien Management Bureau, so there are some lesser-known rules that you don't know."

Que Tian laughed and explained:

"Merit and contribution are basically useless except for exchanging for resources. This is well known to everyone. But in fact, merit and contribution do add some points when running for senior positions."

"So... considering the special care Director Song showed you before, and Director Song's request for you to make more contributions, as well as other factors, I boldly speculate that Director Song may want you to succeed him as the next Director of the Abnormal Management Bureau in the future."

"what?"

Lin Yang was stunned.

Que Tian's words...

"Are you...kidding me?"

Lin Yang was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but speak.

Song Qingfeng intends to make him the next director of the Abnormal Management Bureau?

This speculation is too bold!

"Hehe, I'm just guessing." Que Tian said with a smile.

"Isn't it a little far-fetched and bold to speculate that Director Song intends for me to take over based on these alone?"

Lin Yang said slowly.

"Besides, Director Song is still in his prime. It's impossible for him to be thinking of giving up his position so early, right?"

"Hehe, team leader, I'm not just guessing." Que Tian smiled again: "I'm not making this guess based on just these two points."

"What is that?" Lin Yang looked at Que Tian.

"Ahem, team leader, the Human Alliance is not a monolithic entity. There are also factions. You should be aware of this, right?" Que Tian asked.

"I know, but I don't understand it very well." Lin Yang nodded.

He knew that the Human Alliance and the Alien Management Bureau had existed for too short a time and he had no chance to learn more about the inside story.

"Then it's much easier to explain to you."

Que Tian smiled and said:

"Those old monsters who fought against your master and the silver-haired senior in front of the Universal Alliance Building that day were all in their own factions."

"Director Song and some other people are from another faction. The factional struggle within the Human Alliance has been going on for many years, and Director Song and his faction have been at a disadvantage for a long time."

"The Alien Management Bureau is an extremely important and special department within the Human Alliance. Those old monsters really want to take over the Alien Management Bureau."

"But the Abnormal Control Bureau has always been firmly controlled by Director Song and his group."

"Director Song and his group are not as strong as those old monsters. They paid a huge price to control the Abnormal Management Bureau."

"Therefore, even though Director Song is in his prime now, he must make plans for the longer term future."

Having said that, Que Tian paused for a moment, looked at Lin Yang, and said slowly:

"And your presence has accelerated Director Song's plan to train a successor."

"Me?" Lin Yang's eyes flashed.

"Yes, it's you, team leader!"

Que Tian nodded:

"Your master, Senior Zhu Cang, originally did not belong to any faction. He was a free man, and his own strength was extremely strong. No one dared to force him to do anything if he did not take a side."

"But because of your appearance and the battle in front of the Universal Alliance Building that day, Senior Zhu has completely stood on the opposite side of those old monsters' factions."

"For Director Song and his group, if Senior Zhu joins them, it will be a huge help."

"Add to that your sister, the mysterious silver-haired female senior. Her strength is even stronger. She can fight several old monsters alone."

"Team leader, you have two such backers. If you join the Abnormal Management Bureau, it will be enough to reverse the disadvantage of Director Song and his faction."

"Having a strong backer also means that as team leader, you can withstand the enormous pressure from those old monsters and their factions, and you can more firmly control the Alien Management Bureau."

"That's why I guess Director Song has already begun paving the way for you to become the next director of the Abnormal Management Bureau."

"He wants you to gain a lot of contributions and merits. He probably doesn't want you to have any shortcomings in this regard, which would give the old monsters a clear reason to target and embarrass you."

"After all, you have only been a member for a short time, and the old monsters must have already prepared a candidate to compete for the position of Director of the Alien Management Bureau."

As he spoke, Que Tian sighed softly:

"It seems that Director Song wants you to take the position of the next director of the Abnormal Management Bureau in a state that is close to perfect and can't be criticized in any way."

Que Tian spoke out all his analysis in one breath.

Lin Yang's eyes flickered: "Que Tian, ​​you have a deep understanding of the situation within the Human Alliance. You know all the little secrets and situations clearly."

Que Tian smiled slightly: "Team Leader, it's not that I know too much about it, but you have been in the Human Alliance for too short a time, so this is not really a secret."

"Ok."

Lin Yang shrugged and asked doubtfully:

"Even so, when the individual strength is strong, whoever is stronger should have the greater advantage, right?"

Que Tian's analysis would be extremely applicable in the world of ordinary people.

He has a good background and a perfect resume, so there is really nothing wrong with him.

But the Human Alliance is not a world for ordinary people.

Here are super gene warriors, extraordinary warriors who possess extraordinary powers, and old monsters who are more powerful than ordinary extraordinary warriors.

In this world context, individuals can possess extremely powerful forces.

It seems that whether your resume is perfect or not is not that important, right?

To put it bluntly, in the face of sufficiently powerful strength, everything else is false!

If you are not strong enough, even if you force your way to the top, the members below will not accept it!

In a world with extraordinary power, whoever has the biggest fist is the king!

This is in line with the survival rules of people in the extraordinary world!

However, upon hearing this, Que Tian just smiled:

"Team Leader, you are right. In the extraordinary world, whoever is stronger is the one who is right!"

"But you overlooked one problem!"

"what is the problem?"

Lin Yang frowned.
