Chapter 34

~7 min read 1,265 words

Because, special people are not necessarily related to the plot, but characters related to the plot must be special.

No exceptions.

Even extreme ordinariness is actually a kind of specialness, and one might even become an Emanator of Equilibrium.

For example, Did Did Qingque, does she have strength?

If it refers to the Celestial Jade tiles, then probably yes.

At least at the "Emanator" level.

And Lin Qi has traveled through so many forces, and has never seen anyone who can take "slacking off" to such a level.

If there were an Aeon of "Slacking Off," she would at least be an Emanator.

It can only be said that she was born at the wrong time.

But special characters like Did Did Qingque are very difficult to find and can only rely on luck.

So Lin Qi thought of narrowing the scope as much as possible.

Those who can do what ordinary people cannot, not to say they are definitely plot characters, but at least plot characters are among them.

And only the company's intelligence network can provide the list while also providing Lin Qi with more precise information about these people, and can update it from time to time.

Such as strength, personality, coordinates, etc.

In this way.

Lin Qi can better obtain more plot points to use for gacha.

This is much better than any credits, scientific research results, or even Qlipoth's dead skin.

Lin Qi was still thinking when Topaz spoke suddenly.

"Done!"

"This is the list I initially filtered out, there are about three hundred people, take a look, see if you need to narrow it down further, or expand it."

Saying this.

She sent the data to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi immediately opened it to view.

【Dr. Primitive: Genius Society #64, Emanator of Erudition. Has conducted inhumane atavistic experiments on multiple planets, causing the creatures on these planets to suffer, recently whereabouts unknown. Danger level: Extremely high.】

【Kafka: A vicious criminal from Pteruges-V, skilled at manipulating people's hearts, seems to belong to an emerging organization. Currently, the members and purpose of this organization are unclear. Danger level: High.】

【Boothill: Cyborg, claims to be a member of the Galaxy Rangers, but has repeatedly disrupted the company's normal commercial operations, extremely difficult to capture. Danger level: Medium.】

【Ifrit: Leader of the Annihilation Gang branch—Ever-Flame Mansion, also known as "Lord of Scorching Fire," has destroyed civilizations multiple times, just to obtain the gaze of Destruction. Danger level: High.】

Lin Qi quickly scanned the list and looked at Topaz.

"Why are they all wanted criminals? Aren't there any normal ones?"

"There are, but aren't you going to do experiments? Except for these on the list, it's not easy to make a move on others." Topaz replied.

"Who told you I was going to deal with them?"

Lin Qi was speechless, "Besides, many of the people here are the company's sworn enemies. Topaz, I finally know why you were promoted so fast. If I deal with them all, it just so happens that I can help the company solve some troubles, right?"

"Don't think of me so badly," Topaz explained, "I can give you a promise, whoever captures these people on the list, as long as it goes through the company's hands, you have the right to handle them, how about that?"

"That's more like it, but I only want them alive." Lin Qi nodded.

"Try your best, you know, these are all heinous wanted criminals." Topaz replied.

If Lin Qi wants plot points, if everyone is dead, who knows if they are special characters?

A corpse is useless.

And according to Topaz's promise, it's equivalent to the company "working" for him.

There are more than three hundred people on the list, there must be a few special characters, right?

Even if they can't catch them, they can further confirm the list.

Actually, Lin Qi doesn't want to be so troublesome either.

But who told him the universe is so big and special characters are so few?

However, just with this one condition, the company wants to exchange the Anywhere Door technology from Lin Qi, it's still a bit too simple.

Other necessary conditions still cannot be missing.

Finally, the two finalized the specific details.

As the second party, the technology Lin Qi can provide is not the complete version.

In fact.

Even if Lin Qi were willing to provide it, the company couldn't build many.

Because even Lin Qi himself only has one complete military version and a few experimental versions.

Therefore, the version provided to the company is far less portable than Lin Qi's own.

To some extent, it can only be considered an improved "Star Gate."

The company has Star Gate transmission technology, but Star Gates are expensive to build, can only be used in space, and once the destination is confirmed, it is very troublesome to change.

Just as a means of transportation within a galaxy, the cost is too high.

The Anywhere Door provided by Lin Qi is different; although changing the destination is not as convenient as the complete version, it is not as small and portable, the energy consumption is not low, the distance is not very far, and it cannot go wherever one wants at will.

But it can be used on the surface!

Just this point alone can reduce a considerable amount of logistics links.

If it can be mass-produced, at least within a galaxy, spaceships can be phased out.

It is entirely possible to mine on a satellite one moment and return to the planetary processing plant through the Anywhere Door the next.

The entire process does not require the participation of a spaceship.

Even if the construction cost of the Anywhere Door is not very low, the time saved and the efficiency improved are enough to cover the cost.

Not to mention that the spaceship itself costs money to build.

Precisely because of this, even the wealthy company cannot remain calm and offered Lin Qi such high terms.

It can be called unprecedented.

Even if Lin Qi doesn't join the company and has put forward conditions, the company dares not give even a fraction less of the benefits that should be given.

"Let me check it for you."

Topaz cleared her throat and continued.

"Party A—Interastral Peace Corporation, from Party B, which is you, in exchange for the improved Anywhere Door manufacturing technology, with a 10% Anywhere Door profit share per system year, plus a galaxy-level transformation resource, plus priority disposal rights for famous wanted criminals, priority borrowing rights for scepter-level computing units, full access to the Technical Research Department's library... Any problems?"

"No."

It must be said that these terms are quite generous.

If the Anywhere Door weren't too heaven-defying, any other technology would definitely be criticized within the company.

But considering the benefits, these don't count for much.

"Whew~"

"The serious business is finally finished, I'm so tired."

Topaz stretched, showing a beautiful and amazing curve.

Then.

She stood up, as if to say goodbye.

"It's getting late, I should go back..."

"Leaving already? Not playing for a while? I have a bottle of good wine here, said to be from the hands of a genius, drink some before you go?"

"Hmph~"

Topaz crossed her arms over her chest, smiling without saying a word.

"Don't like wine?"

"It doesn't matter, I have another curiosity here, you will definitely be interested, Director Topaz, want to invest? It's a tunnel, as long as you pass through it, the small can become big, the big..."

"Stop talking!"

Topaz blushed.

"I'm not leaving, okay? You rogue."
