268. Chapter 268: Heavy Blow at the Start

Why return to the Zerg World?

A mission is a mission; since it has been issued and accepted, there must be an account.

Completion, failure, appeal, all are possible.

For some reason, Ms. Lisandra only expelled the foreign Zerg that intruded into the Level 3 Zerg World and did not completely solve that Level 3 Zerg World.

Afterward, she did not file an appeal to the Supreme Council in the name of the Rivose Academy to request a ruling.

This meant that even with the incomplete report submitted by Lin Ke, Sandra's mission was actually not completed.

After delaying for so long, Sandra finally coordinated everyone's time.

This return to the Zerg World was to complete the unfinished mission.

On the "Cloud Neon," in the cockpit.

After the "Cloud Neon" entered the sub-light speed cruise mode, Sandra summoned 11 micro legion members and announced:

"This return, our goal is very simple, which is to investigate the current ecological structure of this Level 3 Zerg World, the abnormal changes that have occurred, and the causes of the mutations."

Pausing, Sandra emphasized: "Only these three goals."

Having experienced a "shocking education" from Ms. Lisandra, plus some subsequent things, some changes had occurred in Sandra.

For example, she was no longer arrogant and thought that if she took action, there was nothing she couldn't do.

For example, she didn't raise the tone high before a matter had even started.

Therefore, this return only had the three original goals issued by the Supreme Council.

The three additional goals from last time were not even mentioned.

It seemed she had completely given up.

After announcing the goals, Sandra's division of labor for the micro legion members was roughly the same as last time.

8 for reconnaissance and combat, 4 for research and detection.

Lin Ke was transferred to the reconnaissance and combat group to fill the vacancy of the round-faced fat man.

Molly took Lin Ke's position.

However, this time, the 4 people responsible for research were not divided into groups and didn't need to compete.

The brief meeting ended, and Tiffany Colonna took the initiative to find Lin Ke, saying: "Do you know about the things that happened in the native world recently?"

"What things?"

During these two months, immersed in advanced studies, research, and experiments, Lin Ke really didn't have the energy to pay attention to things in the native world.

Several forums he used to browse often hadn't been logged into during this period.

Even "Do Whatever Is Free" and the Grande Potion Shop were completely let go, and he didn't manage them.

Tiffany didn't keep him in suspense and said directly: "Mesopotamia University admitted defeat and handed over the core layer of the Lucia family. Sage Cody represented the academy to receive them and killed many people of the Lucia family on the spot, but the Lucia family head and Wizard Solon were not among them."

"Is that so."

Lin Ke wasn't surprised by this point.

The moment he saw the mixed legion of the Lucia family at the rear camp in the Barren World, he knew that the Lucia family's rebellion was definitely not a real rebellion.

In this event, the three parties, the academy had demands, Mesopotamia University had demands, and the Lucia family paid such a high price, which meant they had even greater demands.

Now, the demands of all three parties had been met, so the Lucia family naturally had to return to the academy.

Whether they would continue to remain in the name of Lucia in the future, or change their vest to develop separately, both were possible.

Before coming to the Academy Headquarters for advanced studies, Lin Ke made a probe at Dean Forrest's place, which was met with a beating.

Therefore, Lin Ke had temporarily given up the idea of revenge against the Lucia family and revenge against Solon Lucia.

Unless there was a turn for the better in the matter, and the academy gave Lin Ke a chance.

Just like Solon Lucia and the Lucia family, under Dean Forrest's beating, endured humiliation to reconcile with Lin Ke and the then-Wizard Cody-Paro Sage faction;

And just like Solon Lucia obtained Ms. Lisandra's arrangement and fiercely launched an ambush on Lin Ke.

It was a pity Solon couldn't grasp the opportunity and didn't manage to kill the thorn in his eye and the flesh in his heart.

Lin Ke decided to learn a lesson from this; once he caught an opportunity, he must strike accurately and kill Solon Lucia.

Seeing Lin Ke's lack of interest, Tiffany immediately understood that there must be pressure and restrictions from the academy, making Lin Ke have to give up the idea of revenge.

Now he was even too lazy to pay attention to the Lucia family.

She didn't continue this topic but asked: "This time on the mission, are we still like last time?"

"Can do."

Lin Ke nodded in agreement and then sought clarification, "What is the purpose of you being so active in getting close?"

The Colonna family had one Level 5 Great Sage and three Level 4 Great Sages, and their strength was even stronger than the Lionel family.

As long as they could help this Level 5 Great Sage promote, the Colonna family could naturally move into the Academy Headquarters.

This was the right path; there was no need at all to try to get on Sandra's line like Lanny.

After all, behind Sandra was Ms. Lisandra, not a real-power faction leader like Dean Forrest!

Even if the Colonna family wanted to seek better development, there was no need at all to do this.

Tiffany knew where Lin Ke's doubt was, was silent for a moment, and sighed gloomily: "It's not for the family, it's for myself."

Every family has its own difficult scriptures to read.

Among the four Great Sages of the Colonna family, there wasn't a single female wizard!

Even, in the decision-making layer of the Colonna family, there wasn't a single female clansman!

Tiffany's aptitude was the best, and she was the most diligent and hardworking, so what?

After completing advanced studies and graduating from the Advanced Academy, the family didn't take Tiffany's destination too seriously at all.

Even Iris Clarke was arranged to go to the Clarke family legion for training, but Tiffany was still left idle at home.

The final outcome waiting for Tiffany was marriage with other families to exchange for cooperation projects and resources.

Before becoming a Level 2 Wizard, all the family benefits Tiffany enjoyed were exchanged by "selling" her own marriage.

It was under these circumstances that Sandra's conscription reached Tiffany's hands.

At that moment, Tiffany knew that if she wanted to truly stand out, besides relying on herself, the only ones she could rely on for the time being were Sandra.

And Ms. Lisandra behind Sandra.

The family couldn't be relied on at all!

The family had even become Tiffany's obstacle.

Lin Ke heard a trace of bitterness from Tiffany's brief words.

Thinking about it, Lin Ke asked sincerely: "Are you willing to join 'Do Whatever Is Free'?"

This wasn't a whim, thinking of one thing and doing another.

If "Do Whatever Is Free" wanted to grow, it definitely couldn't only develop among the Newblood.

Lin Ke had already tried to slowly extend his tentacles toward the West District of Rivose City, absorbing some bottom-level people as the periphery of the periphery.

But the water in the West District was too deep; Lin Ke was afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would drown himself.

Therefore, he was just slowly, bit by bit, infiltrating inside.

In the next step, Lin Ke originally wanted to target the local apprentices whose family conditions were not very good.

Not all local apprentices in the North Campus of the Primary Academy came from big families.

There were also many middle-class families from the East District and propertyless families from the South District.

This was also a very huge potential.

If operated well, "Do Whatever Is Free" could be quickly strengthened.

Afterward, it would be to absorb some wizards who were not valued in half-blood families and pure-blood families.

Now that there was an opportunity to directly develop a genius from a pure-blood family to become a member of "Do Whatever Is Free," Lin Ke naturally couldn't miss it.

As for joining with ulterior motives or something, how normal that is.

As long as they aren't aiming to hollow out or crush the "Do Whatever Is Free" group, Lin Ke welcomes them with open arms.

"I don't know if Tiffany is willing, but I am."

Lanny Taylor walked over at this moment and abruptly interjected.

Her tone, expression, and attitude were all very serious; it didn't sound like she was joking.

"Is Wizard Sandra willing to let you go?"

Lin Ke immediately became interested, raising an eyebrow as he asked back.

Lanny smiled and said, "Is there a conflict?" She had, after all, looked into the very loose, low-restriction charter of "Do Whatever Is Free."

"Do Whatever Is Free" follows the principle of strict entry and loose exit.

The threshold for entry is high, but the exit procedure is very simple.

Just write a note and get it approved.

He wouldn't be fooled by Lin Ke.

"There really isn't a conflict, but..."

Lin Ke replied honestly, "You should still ask for Sandra's consent."

"No need."

Sandra, who had been listening to their conversation the whole time from the captain's seat, spoke through the smart brain's speaker, "If you dare to agree, I can also join 'Do Whatever Is Free'."

Suddenly, Lin Ke's "Do Whatever Is Free" had become a hot commodity.

One after another, they were all singing about wanting to join.

"Has something happened that I don't know about?"

Lin Ke turned his head to look at Molly, who had remained quiet, and asked.

"First place in the first-year two-district grand competition, and also a member of our 'Do Whatever Is Free'."

Molly replied indifferently.

The use of the word "also" was extremely clever.

Including Lin Ke, within just a few short years, "Do Whatever Is Free" had already won first place in the first-year two-district grand competition three times.

As for the two-district grand competitions for the second, third, and fourth years, the performance was even more outstanding.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that as long as Lin Ke, the leader of "Do Whatever Is Free," doesn't fall behind.

"Do Whatever Is Free" will continue to be the most vibrant and potential-filled small organization within the Riverside Academy for the next ten to twenty years.

Not to mention that Lin Ke, this leader, has already brought a little girlfriend with third-rank middle wizard aptitude to the academy headquarters for advanced studies.

Such a performance is simply a super blue-chip stock.

If you don't place a bet on him now, when would you?

Within the Riverside Academy, wizards have never been prohibited from developing their own personal factions.

Not only is it not prohibited, it is even highly encouraged.

The great families of the headquarters, the local pure-blood and half-blood families, and the Sage Legions commanded by Sages who originated from the Storm Sea Newblood, all developed this way.

In Lin Ke, many people saw the possibility of the rise of yet another Level 6 Sage-level faction.

Especially after Iris Clark's special "Outsider" identity was confirmed.

Being able to accompany a special "Outsider" into the trials, even if he only participated in the first round, Lin Ke Grande can be considered a person of note in the entire Wizard World.

With his thoughts turning, Lin Ke figured some things out and remembered a sentence Dean Forrest had once said.

That was before Lin Ke was ambushed by Solon Lucia.

Dean Forrest told Lin Ke: "Remember, you are no longer a small person who can be manipulated by others."

Times have changed.

Back then, in Dean Forrest's eyes, Lin Ke should have shown some spirit, and his perspective should have been broader.

In his conduct and work, he should no longer be restrained and timid; he should be magnanimous and bold.

Now, there is even less need to say more.

Dean Forrest had even brought Lin Ke before the Riverside Great Sage and the Sosi Great Sage to register his name.

"So that's how it is."

Having figured this out, he muttered to himself, and Lin Ke straightened his body, his aura becoming domineering, "Come! As long as you are willing to join, all of you come."

In any case, the top-level design of "Do Whatever Is Free" destined that "Do Whatever Is Free" could never belong to Lin Ke alone forever.

Members who join and want to gain benefits from it must contribute to it.

Although Lin Ke is selective and strives for excellence, he will not refuse geniuses who are willing to join; on the contrary, the more the better.

"You really dare to agree?"

This time it was Sandra's turn to be surprised.

Not only was Sandra surprised, but her 6 little partners, Lanny, Tiffany, and Fried—everyone present except Molly—looked at Lin Ke with disbelief.

Sandra is, after all, the great-granddaughter of two Great Sages.

Her mother is the only female of the third generation of the Diomand family, and she herself is the only female of the fourth generation of the Diomand family.

Both are doted upon and are true daughters of heaven.

What is "Do Whatever Is Free" now?

At most, it's just a small sapling on the ground with a promising future.

"What is there not to dare?"

Lin Ke asked back calmly.

Hearing this, everyone felt even more shocked.

Then, thinking about it carefully, it seemed to have some logic.

After all, it was Sandra herself who proposed joining, not an invitation issued by Lin Ke.

"Fine! I'll join!"

Provoked by Lin Ke's attitude, Sandra suddenly felt, for some reason, that joining "Do Whatever Is Free" might give her the upper hand in the ideological dispute between her and Ms. Lisandra.

"Welcome."

Lin Ke said with a smile, "Molly, send our newly revised 'Do Whatever Is Free' constitution to Wizard Sandra."

As he spoke, Lin Ke turned to look at Lanny and Tiffany: "What about you two? Are you sure whether you want to join? If you are, Molly, send them a copy of the constitution as well."

The 6 students from the academy headquarters' great families looked at Lin Ke, whose temperament had suddenly changed from calm and introverted to bold and soaring, as if they were looking at a madman.

If this matter gets back to the academy headquarters, it will surely stir up a storm.

There were already many students from great families who were unhappy with Lin Ke Grande.

Why should Sage Forrest praise a Storm Sea Newblood as the "most talented in six hundred years" in public more than once!

With so many students from great families at the academy headquarters and so many young talents, could none of them catch Sage Forrest's eye?

No one believed it!

If it weren't for the fact that the two Great Sages had specifically met with Lin, someone would have already come to cause trouble.

Now, Lin Ke taking Sandra, whom countless young generations admire, into "Do Whatever Is Free" is equivalent to kidnapping their little princess.

Such behavior will inevitably cause public condemnation and outrage.

The 6 of them seemed to have already seen the scene of Lin Ke Grande being besieged by an angry crowd after returning to the academy headquarters.

"Warning! Warning!"

Just as the 6 were daydreaming, the "Yun Ni" lit up with red lights, and the Tower Spirit issued an emergency alert.

"An unidentified fleet is approaching! An unidentified fleet is approaching!"

Sandra immediately entered her role as captain and issued orders one after another:

"Everyone return to your stations."

"Full power defense, full power reconnaissance of enemy situation."

"Prepare for attack."

"Prepare for emergency avoidance."

Tower Spirit: "Understood."

Soon, on the huge screen in front of the cockpit, the interstellar fleets wrapping around the "Yun Ni" from the left and right were revealed.

The main ships of both fleets displayed their hull numbers and the emblems of their respective organizations to the "Yun Ni" without reservation.

On the left was the Flame and Metal Trading Company, and on the right was the White Tower Alliance.

Judging from the arrogant aura of the two fleets, the visitors were not friendly.

They were clearly here to settle the score!
