Chapter 15

Seeing everything arranged, Lin Xinghai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Becoming a formal employee of the government office, Liu Miaomiao and the others were now equivalent to having an additional protective charm.

At least in the Lower District, no matter whether it was the gangsters or any other forces, they absolutely wouldn't dare to make a move against them in the open.

It's worth mentioning that due to Liu Miaomiao and the others' outstanding appearance and abilities, Lecheng even gave them a raise. They could earn 100 points in a week.

This salary, in the Lower District, could be considered a sky-high price, even matching Lin Xinghai's salary.

Of course, this refers only to the basic salary.

If the gene agents were also factored in, there would still be no comparison.

"Alright, first, congratulations on your successful employment. Also, it's best to wait for me to pick you up after work tonight. We still need to be cautious about the Axe Gang. Once you move into the government office's employee dormitory in a couple of days, you won't have to worry anymore," Lin Xinghai said with a smile.

"At that time, we won't be able to live together anymore. Won't you feel lonely and empty at night!" Wang Yao leaned close to Lin Xinghai's ear and spoke in a seductive voice.

"In a couple of days, I'll move to the Middle District. I believe it will be colorful there," Lin Xinghai replied coolly, cutting off Wang Yao.

"Don't worry about us, but you need to be careful," Liu Miaomiao also spoke up. Although her tone was light, Lin Xinghai could see the concern in her eyes.

"Relax!" Lin Xinghai waved his hand and left the government office with Roger, heading towards the Mercenary Square.

...

The Mercenary Square is the largest square in the Lower District. It is called this because mercenary teams need to come here for review and registration before setting out.

Similarly, when they return, they go through the same process. Ordinary people who come here can see these mercenary teams return in triumph and bring back resources.

The high-level management of the Star Shield Shelter arranged this not only to enhance the status of mercenaries through this ceremony but also to attract more people to join this profession by showcasing the impressive side of mercenary teams.

When Lin Xinghai arrived, the Sky Split Mercenary Team was almost ready.

The entire Sky Split Mercenary Team had 35 members, not a large number, but they stood out prominently on the Mercenary Square.

Three armored vehicles were parked beside them. These steel monsters, weighing over 50 tons, created a sense of oppression even when they were just parked there.

In addition, there were two smaller multi-purpose off-road vehicles in front. However, no one dared to underestimate these two off-road vehicles because they were equipped with heavy machine guns on their roofs.

Of course, the most eye-catching were the two 5-meter-tall humanoid mechs.

Whether it was the massive oscillating blades in their hands, the micro-missiles on their legs, or the electromagnetic railguns on their backs, they all told people that they were born for slaughter.

"How about it? Do you feel a sense of awe?" Roger looked at Lin Xinghai's expression and said with a smile.

Lin Xinghai couldn't help but nod. It would be a lie to say he wasn't awed.

Although he had seen mechs when he woke up from the cryo-pod, he was in a dazed state at that time. Watching them now was a completely different experience.

"Haha, when our mercenary team bought our first mech, I was just as awed as you, and the weapon systems weren't as complete back then!" Roger said with a smile.

At this point, Lin Xinghai couldn't help but ask curiously, "If a Level 1 mercenary team has such equipment, how powerful are Level 2 and even Level 3 mercenary teams?"

"Level 2 mercenary teams? They're not much stronger than us."

"As long as a mercenary team has three members with gene optimization over 90%, or three mechs, meeting either of these conditions allows them to apply to become a Level 2 mercenary team," Roger explained.

"So, we're just one mech short." Lin Xinghai looked at the two mechs not far away, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

It was like seeing a top-of-the-line sports car in his era.

"Yes." Roger nodded and added, "Of course, having one more member with gene optimization over 90% would also work."

"Do we have two members with gene optimization over 90% in our Sky Split Mercenary Team?" Lin Xinghai was really surprised.

"Yes, both the team leader and the deputy team leader have gene optimization over 90%, fully capable of utilizing the performance of the two mechs. So, in terms of overall strength, we are even stronger than some newly promoted Level 2 mercenary teams." As he said this, pride was evident on Roger's face.

"Alright, let's go! I'll introduce you to the team leader and the others."

...

Under Roger's lead, Lin Xinghai got closer to the group and began to observe his future teammates carefully.

"Captain Luo, hello!"

"Captain Luo, you're finally here!"

"Captain Luo, is this the new member you mentioned?"

As they got closer, people kept greeting Roger, and many of them also looked at Lin Xinghai.

Roger responded to each of them but didn't stop walking, leading Lin Xinghai to the red mech.

Four people stood there, with the rest of the mercenaries loosely surrounding them. Clearly, they were the high-ranking members of the mercenary team.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is our team leader, Fang Tianhe," Roger pointed to the man in the lead and introduced him.

Fang Tianhe was very muscular, and his short-sleeved shirt clearly showed the bulging muscles and numerous scars on his body.

He exuded a subtle oppressive aura, but his expression was calm. He extended his hand, "Welcome to our Sky Split Mercenary Team."

Seeing this, Lin Xinghai quickly extended his hand to shake.

However, after they shook hands, Fang Tianhe didn't let go but gradually increased the pressure.

"Testing me?" Lin Xinghai quickly understood the other's intention.

But this was within his expectations. After all, what he told Roger yesterday was truly unbelievable. It was almost inevitable that the other would test to verify the truth.

So, he didn't panic and also began to increase the pressure.

Soon, Lin Xinghai's strength exceeded 10 points and continued to increase rapidly.

When his strength exceeded 15 points, he saw a hint of approval in Fang Tianhe's eyes.

When his strength exceeded 18 points, the approval in the other's eyes turned to surprise.

In the end, Lin Xinghai's strength reached 20 points, and Fang Tianhe could feel that this was Lin Xinghai's limit.

"Good!" Fang Tianhe said excitedly and then released his hand.

Lin Xinghai was just an ordinary person yesterday, and now he could exert 20 points of strength. There was no doubt that he indeed had a special constitution that could accelerate the absorption of gene agents.
