Chapter 361: Field Work and the Organization's Background
In the second half of the night in Jiangcheng, when even the night snack stalls were closing up and the drunks had gone home, Lin Yu took a taxi to the place Liang Ye mentioned - Tom Supermarket in Jiangcheng City.
This is a large chain supermarket located in the outer ring of Jiangcheng. It is a typical foreign-funded Western-style large department store. From a distance, it looks almost as big as a stadium.
Of course the supermarket was not open at this time, but the trucks and staff who came to restock the goods had already started working.
Lin Yu got out of the taxi, looked around for a while, and then found Liang Ye.
A week later, Liang Ye's injury had almost healed, but his left hand was still in a cast.
He was dressed in a very Korean style, with a baseball cap, leather jacket, wide-leg pants, and a cigarette in his mouth. He was standing in the empty parking lot in front of the supermarket, leaning against a lamppost.
His demeanor and attire almost made him look like a veteran Korean cop straight out of a Korean police and gangster movie.
Lin Yu walked straight over. Liang Ye also noticed Lin Yu's arrival. He put out the cigarette butt in his mouth with one hand and threw it towards the trash can not far away.
Then, Liang Ye said, "Ah Xi, you came quickly..."
"You've been working hard after just finishing a dungeon. Normally, you should have rested after encountering the Fortune Teller, but this is an emergency..."
"Anyway, the two of us are going out on a field trip now."
Liang Ye said this, and Lin Yu was a little surprised.
"Why so sudden... and why me?"
At this moment, Lin Yu thought a lot.
Although Liang Ye is now nominally the captain of Jiangcheng Team 1, he has just arrived in Jiangcheng and his foundation is very shallow.
In addition, he may have been in the hospital for the past week, and he may not be familiar with his "team members".
So, maybe it is me, a guy who just joined the "Order", who is the most trustworthy.
But Liang Ye saw Lin Yu's thoughtful expression, heard his questions, and guessed his speculation.
"You're overthinking it. I don't have any conflicts with the members of Jiangcheng's 'Order'... Rather, I'm the one who was chosen this time."
"what?"
Lin Yu asked curiously.
"Your good friend 'Folpolo' has been seconded by 'Gambler', the administrator of Haicheng, to investigate something." Liang Ye took off his baseball cap and adjusted his wig. "He specifically asked for your assistance, and you're well-respected by Li Hua, so Li Hua agreed."
"Rather than saying I'm taking you on a field mission...it's better to say you're the protagonist this time, and I'm just your 'bodyguard' and 'assistant'."
Liang Ye said this, and Lin Yu was very surprised.
"They actually asked for me by name... Forporro and the gambler, so it seems some kind of 'case' has happened, right?"
Liang Ye snapped his fingers. "Smart, there's been a terrible case of a 'player' being murdered in the East China region."
"The deceased was a well-known high-end player, and the murderer also stole some very important [props]."
After hearing what Liang Ye said, Lin Yu started to have a headache: "This is really troublesome. Who died, where did they die, and what was lost? Do you know now?"
"The detailed information hasn't been sent yet," Liang Ye shrugged, "but I have a rough idea."
"The deceased was 'Luo Bo', one of the founders of the 'Players' Mutual Aid Association'. He was originally planning to attend the 'auction' in Haicheng, but was found dead in a hotel in Haicheng."
"And the thing that was lost is some extremely dangerous [prop]... From what the higher-ups say, if it's not handled properly, the entire player community might be devastated—perhaps tens of thousands of people would die."
When Lin Yu heard Liang Ye's words, he was stunned and realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Is it really appropriate for just the two of us to go through something of this level?"
He couldn't help but ask.
Liang Ye waved his hand. "It's precisely because this is a matter of great importance that we can't involve too many people... Of course, if it's done well, it will definitely be a great achievement."
"Okay, let's go!"
Liang Ye said this, patted Lin Yu, and led him towards the supermarket warehouse.
Lin Yu felt a little strange again.
"Wait, wait... If the situation is so urgent, why are we here in this supermarket now?"
"Shouldn't we rush to Haicheng immediately?"
Liang Ye waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. How can 'Order' just send you out on a field mission without even giving you any equipment?"
"Although your set isn't quite up to par if we go through the formalities, I've already used my authority to pre-order one for you...and it's a high-quality product."
"You should go to the old shipyard in the South District or the 'Order' headquarters in Jiangcheng to get it."
"But special matters must be handled specially!"
Liang Ye arrived in front of the warehouse, where a medium-sized logistics truck was parked in the shadows in the corner.
He patted the opening of the carriage.
"Captain of Jiangcheng Team One, number Z-27010102, come and get something."
A very serious man jumped out of the cab. Although he was wearing a logistics uniform, from his actions, Lin Yu judged that he should be a soldier.
In other words, he had served for a long time.
He didn't say anything, nodded slightly to Liang Ye, walked quickly to the cargo compartment, opened it, and took out a cardboard box from it.
"This is the Level 2 [Prop Integration Set]. Captain, please inspect it."
The other party handed the logistics carton with the Tom Supermarket logo printed on it to Liang Ye. Liang Ye shook it and nodded.
"It won't be a problem, just go ahead."
Then the man nodded, climbed back into the cab, and drove the truck back to the normal unloading process.
Liang Ye handed the box directly to Lin Yu.
"Bind it."
Lin Yu was surprised to find that...
This entire cardboard box is actually a "prop"!
The words [Props Integration Set] appeared in front of Lin Yu!
Although it is known that most large organizations will have the means to mass-produce [props] through the [Level 2] [Illustrated Book] authority.
But when he actually saw that "Order" sent out a whole cardboard box, Lin Yu still felt a little uncomfortable.
Moreover, when he bound this ownerless cardboard box as his own prop...
This thing actually turned into four props and appeared in his [Prop Space]!
[Intermediate Protective Suit], [Enemy Seeking Dagger], [Reusable Universal Healing Potion], [Reusable Universal Buff Potion]...
Armor, weapons, regeneration, and buffs.
It covers almost all frontal combat needs.
"Really... wealthy and powerful."
Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Liang Ye laughed.
"Of course. Otherwise, how do you think Order has managed to attract so many members and be recognized as the most powerful organization?"
"High-end combat capabilities are certainly important, but what we are most proud of is not the pinnacle of our organization, but the foundation and depth of our organization!"
