Chapter 38

~7 min read 1,260 words

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

No exceptions.

Even extreme ordinariness is actually a kind of special, and maybe they could even become an Emanator of Equilibrium.

For example, Qingque, does she have strength?

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

At least "Emanator" level.

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

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 Qingque are very difficult to find, and it depends on luck.

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

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

And only the company's intelligence network can provide the list while continuously 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 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 suddenly spoke.

"Done!"

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

Saying this.

She sent the information to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi immediately opened it to view.

【Primitive Doctor: Genius Society #64, Emanator of Erudition. Once conducted inhumane atavistic experiments on multiple planets, causing these planets to be devastated. Currently missing. Danger level: Extremely high.】

【Kafka: A vicious criminal from Pteruges-V, skilled in 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 sabotaged 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 the Blazing Fire," has destroyed civilizations many 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? Besides 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 all of them, I can just help the company solve some trouble, right?"

"Don't think of me as that bad." Topaz explained, "I can give you a promise: whoever captures these people on the list, as long as it can go 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 also know that these are all heinous wanted criminals." Topaz replied.

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 determine the list.

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

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 conditions that should be there still cannot be missing.

In the end, 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 is willing to provide it, the company cannot 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.

In a sense, 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, nor is it as small and portable, the energy consumption is not low, the distance is not very far, and it cannot go wherever you want 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 the 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 whole process does not require the participation of a spaceship.

Even if the 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 puts forward conditions, the company dares not give a single point less of the benefits that should be given.

"I'll check it with you."

Topaz cleared her throat and continued.

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

"No."

It must be said that this condition is quite generous.

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

But considering the benefits, these are nothing.

"Phew~"

"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 still have a bottle of good wine here, said to be from the hands of a genius, drink some before leaving?"

"Humph~"

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

"Don't like wine?"

"It doesn't matter, I still have a curiosity here that you will definitely be interested in. Does Director Topaz want to invest? It is 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."
