Chapter 3133: A Hurdle That Can't Be Overcome

Lin Yi quietly walked over.

He saw that under his long sword, there was another black folding knife.

Lin Yi still remembered clearly the scenes when they first came to the Zhongwei Brigade.

They were all rookies, not knowing what weapons they were accustomed to using.

At that time, they were asked to choose what they liked from the warehouse, and finally, Zhou Liang chose a folding knife that looked like a dagger.

Lin Jiang picked up the folding knife, his fingers gently brushing over it.

A strange sense of heartache surged in his heart, and it was hard to calm down for a long time.

Compared to Lin Yi, Xiao Bing seemed to be more open-minded at this moment, even able to face the matter calmly.

It wasn't that their feelings weren't deep.

She knew that one day, perhaps even on the next island expedition, she might meet him.

But Xiao Bing understood the pain in Lin Yi's heart.

Zhou Liang died right in front of him, and this was a hurdle he could never overcome in his life.

After a long time, Lin Yi put Zhou Liang's folding knife back in its proper place.

He then took his own weapon, swung it a few times in the air, and found the grip to be surprisingly suitable, requiring no adaptation at all.

Subsequently, Lin Yi took down all three weapons and placed them in his car.

Even if they were custom-made by the system, he still needed to get familiar with them.

At this moment, Xiao Bing somehow produced a silver steel pipe, about two centimeters thick, which felt quite substantial in her hand.

"Brother Lin, try it out and see how it feels."

"Sure."

Lin Yi didn't take the long sword but held two daggers and started sparring with Xiao Bing.

Clang, clang, clang—

The crisp sounds rang out, and even sparks flew.

After just a few dozen moves, the steel pipe in Xiao Bing's hand was severed.

Around the broken part, there were marks of varying depths.

"The effect seems pretty good," Xiao Bing said.

"You held back just now; otherwise, it might have broken in three moves."

"This steel has a high carbon content, so it's more brittle. If we were on the island, the effect wouldn't be as obvious," Lin Yi said.

"But it's still better than other weapons."

Xiao Bing nodded; her thoughts were similar to Lin Yi's.

On a global scale, the weapons used by Team One should be the best.

And this was just the first batch; there would be upgrades in the future.

At that time, the Zhongwei Brigade would achieve a significant lead in terms of weapons.

To enhance their combat capabilities.

"Alright, we've seen the weapons. Let's head back," Lin Yi said.

"We need to investigate the Blood Bull Club as soon as possible; we can't afford to waste a moment."

Xiao Bing looked at Lin Yi seriously.

"Brother Lin, are you worried about something?"

"Just overthinking," Lin Yi said.

"This mission failed, and I'm afraid they might have other moves. We need to act quickly. If there's anything, we can prepare in advance."

"Understood."

After leaving the weapons room, the two met Zhao Chunyan and Zhang Zhiyi, who were waiting outside.

"Mr. Lin, are there any modifications needed for the weapons we made?" Zhao Chunyan asked.

"Overall, they are quite good. I'll test them at home, and if there are any issues, we can make adjustments and modifications."

Lin Yi smiled at the two and said,

"You've both worked hard these past few days. Take some time off, go on a trip, and relax."

The two looked a bit uncomfortable, and Zhang Zhiyi said,

"Given the major incident at the institute, we are grateful that Mr. Lin doesn't blame us. We don't dare to ask for anything else."

"Ah, that's nothing," Lin Yi patted their shoulders and said,

"Some things are unavoidable. As long as you do your best, you should also relax when you can. Don't worry about the cost; you two decide how to do it."

"Alright, thank you, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yi was always fair in his rewards and punishments, and he wouldn't blindly blame people after a problem occurred.

This is why those who recognized him would follow him wholeheartedly.

That's what charisma is all about.

After leaving the institute, Xiao Bing took a taxi back, while Lin Yi drove to the courier station.

During the few days he was away, Lin Yi learned a lot of information through his social media.

The most important point was that the new courier station opened by Xu Wen had been cleaned up, and many devices had been moved in.

Although it hadn't officially opened yet, it had already started handling some deliveries, albeit in small quantities.

After parting ways, Lin Yi drove to the courier station.

The new courier station was larger than the other two combined.

The new signboard was more impressive, even giving off a hint of high-end.

Probably, there were very few in the entire Zhonghai that were larger than this one.

After getting out of the car, Lin Yi saw Xu Wen chatting with a worker inside the store, seemingly giving suggestions for improvements.

"Congratulations, your business is growing bigger and bigger."

Hearing Lin Yi's voice, Xu Wen turned around, and her face instantly lit up with a smile.

"When did you come back?"

"Just this morning. I saw your post on social media and came to check it out."

"You sure know how to take a break. The past two days have been the busiest, and you weren't here."

"I had some personal matters to resolve. Deduct my salary as usual."

"Can you come to work normally tomorrow?"

"Of course, I can't afford to miss any more days after so many deductions."

"If you're broke, we can't live either."

Xu Wen said, "You sit over there for a moment. I need to discuss the renovation with him."

"Sure, go ahead."

Lin Yi sat to the side and observed the store.

Everything was very clean, and the equipment was neatly arranged, but Lin Yi knew this was temporary.

Once it officially opened, it would likely become messy within a week.

Xu Wen was discussing the KT board and GG brand matters with the renovation worker, wanting to print some rules and regulations to make it look more official.

Seeing her animated expression, Lin Yi felt that Wang Guodong probably hadn't come to bother her again.

She was preparing to start a new life.

After about ten minutes of discussion, they finally settled on the details.

After seeing off the renovation worker, Xu Wen came to Lin Yi.

"How does it look? It should be pretty good, right?"

"It's indeed good, just a bit too clean, making me feel a bit uncomfortable."

"It's just opening, and the district leaders might come to inspect. Even if it's just for show, it has to last a few days."

Lin Yi nodded, "Have you set a date?"

"Tomorrow."

Xu Wen habitually smoothed her hair and said,

"The KT board will be delivered tomorrow morning and will be ready before the opening at ten. It won't delay the opening."

"OK, I'll give you a big red envelope tomorrow."

"Then I won't be polite, sister."

Xu Wen smiled and said,

"Do you have time tonight? I can treat you to dinner, or you can come to my place, and I'll cook for you."
