Chapter 4: The Encampment

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Luo Xin followed the GPS and walked around the alley. All the doors were sealed, and there were no other residents. He walked down a flight of stairs and arrived at the entrance to the basement’s first floor. There was a decent security door there.

He used the card given to him to open the door.

It was pitch black inside.

After entering, he closed the door.

Luo Xin didn’t turn on the lights. Instead, he used his ability to strengthen his visual cells.

While increasing the ability to receive faint light, it broadened the visual lineage of his eyes and he gained the ability to see infrared light. In a completely dark environment without any lights, he could rely on the infrared radiation emitted to see his surroundings clearly. He could move normally even in the dark.

This place had been abandoned for nearly two months.

The ground was covered in dust, and it was eerily quiet.

When he checked the interior, the place was completely empty. Everything had been taken away, and nothing was left.

This was the case for the secret forces.

Their deaths had been completely erased.

Other than the sealed confidential files, there would be no trace of their existence.

The basement was a common area with six rooms and toilets of different sizes. There was also a garage that led to the first floor.

The second basement floor was a residential area with 12 rooms and two communal bathrooms.

The total area was over a thousand square meters.

This place was shabbily decorated.

Luo Xin was very satisfied.

To him, this was a big house.

In the past, when he was in the orphanage or in school, he would be squeezed into the public dormitory and did not even have his own room.

Now, this base completely belonged to him.

He was the captain.

He had absolute control over the team.

“In the future, this will be our home.”

Luo Xin turned on his phone and called the renovation company to renovate the place and get some furniture. With the advancement of technology, production efficiency was very high. After choosing the style of decoration, they could use printing technology and finish it within a day. After that, he could move in directly.

The problem of formaldehyde pollution had long since ceased to exist.

After the renovation company arrived, Luo Xin left the encampment for the time being.

The secret forces had given him a month’s buffer time.

He wouldn’t be assigned any missions this month, so he had plenty of time to find teammates and get used to the team.

Teammates were a must.

Luo Xin’s ability was more suitable for direct combat and destruction, but the secret forces had many tasks. Direct combat was only one part of them. There was also tracking, searching, infiltration, surveillance, assassination, interrogation, protection, and more.

Basically, he needed everything.

It was important to improve the team configuration.

Furthermore, his ability could be used on other people and strengthen the abilities of his teammates. It would be very helpful to collect more teammates.

As for how to find teammates…

He could apply to the secret forces or recruit people himself.

Star Dragon Academy was filled with top students and they basically did not lack money. Therefore, no one wanted to exchange their lives for money.

Luo Xin didn’t have any connections, so he could only apply to the secret forces.

He turned on his watch and contacted Ink Bottle, the superior informant in charge of him. ‘Ink Bottle’ was the code name that the other party had given him.

“Luo Xin, you’ve done well this time! If it weren’t for the fact that we can’t meet, I would have treated you to a drink.”

Ink Bottle praised him as soon as the line was connected.

Since Luo Xin had completed the mission, he would naturally get a portion of the bonus.

“Brother Mo, could you do me a favor…”

Luo Xin explained his predicament to Ink Bottle.

Ink Bottle seemed to have been prepared for this.

“The secret forces are team-based, and the situation of each team is different. In terms of the arrangement of members, it is similar to an employment system. Write down your needs and the situation of the team, and I will upload it to the human resources network for you.”

After he finished speaking, he sent over a form.

Luo Xin filled in the form according to the requirements.

He wrote down the information of the team, and the abilities and skills that were needed in the team.

Luo Xin was good at direct combat.

He needed an assistant now.

It would be best if the new member was a jack of all trades ability user. Thus, in the information bar, he filled in ‘Jack of all trades’ in the category of the ability system.

In this universe, there were many different ways of using extraordinary powers. Different races had different ways of using their powers, but they were generally divided into six main elemental classes.

Esper class, pugilist class, transcendent class, mage class, evolver class, and mysticism class.

The six main elemental classes were not completely distinct from each other, but they generally represented one direction. Some aptitude users could cross two or even three elements.

In terms of ability distribution, it mainly depended on the star field.

In Yuezhi City’s ring moon star field, the esper class and the pugilist class were the mainstream elemental classes.

Pugilists class trained in Qi-energy, and they were pure and ancient warriors.

Esper class relied on mutation and had a variety of abilities, but in general, the mutation could be traced and there were many similar esper abilities.

The same elemental class was prioritized for the selection of teammates.

This was because it was easier to cooperate with the same major elemental class.

The classification of the ability was very simple.

Tiers 1 to 9.

The division was based on the amount of energy one could control, not their combat power. This was because the combat performance of each elemental class was different. However, in general, with every increase in level, the total amount of energy that could be controlled would increase exponentially.

The energy of a ninth-tier powerhouse could easily destroy a planet.

Luo Xin’s current strength was at the third tier.

At this level, if all the energy he could mobilize was released, he could flatten a small town. He was already an existence that ordinary troops could not fight against.

Luo Xin’s recruitment notice would be posted on the human resources network of the secret forces.

If anyone wanted to join, they could apply to the human resources department.

As for whether they would be hired or not, it would depend on the choice of both parties.

If no one asked or applied within two weeks, he could also apply for a mandatory personnel arrangement. The secret forces would assign some members according to the team’s needs, but the quality would be much worse.

“You haven’t registered your personal name card yet,” Ink Bottle reminded him, “You’ll have to give yourself a code name as your identity card in the secret forces.”

Since he was in the secret forces, he naturally wouldn’t use his real name.

Luo Xin thought for a moment and typed in the words ‘Shatterer’ before sending it to the Ink Bottle.

Ink Bottle replied, “That’s quite an average name. But it’s quite compatible with your ability. ”

Luo Xin replied with a picture, [Right and self-confident.jpg ]

While he hid part of his strength, he also hid the characteristics of his special ability.

It wasn’t that he was deliberately hiding it, but that his special ability was too weak in the early stages. At that time, he didn’t know about his special ability and only knew how to strengthen himself, which was why it was recorded as a strengthening type by the federation.

As the ability grew, it showed signs.

Luo Xin had always kept a low profile, so he understood the dark side of the federation.

If an ability was too good and the user did not have any other abilities to protect themselves, they might be in trouble. After all, there were abilities that could control people’s hearts.

He did not want to be brainwashed into a puppet weapon.

Moreover, he was strong enough just by displaying the ability of the ‘Shatterer’. In the eyes of others, he had a very terrifying destructive ability. He had a copper head and iron arms, and was a berserker.

Now that he had a certain level of strength and had joined the secret forces, he could use his abilities freely.

After the registration of his name card, it was uploaded to the human resources department along with the recruitment information. Ink Bottle was very capable and helped him get things done.

All he had to do now was wait.

Luo Xin went out for a stroll, familiarizing himself with the surrounding terrain while waiting for the renovation to be completed.

The next morning, he returned to the encampment.

The renovation company had already completed their work.

The encampment was completely new.

There were six rooms on the first basement floor, and they were divided into an office area, an entertainment area, a cultivation area, a kitchen, a study, and a utility room.

There were six rooms on the second basement floor, all in a simple futuristic style.

The toilet, bathroom, and corridor were all renovated.

The furniture was all fitted in, so he could move in directly with his bags.

Luo Xin turned around and was very satisfied with the results.

After signing the receipt and acceptance, he wrangled with the renovation company and after some bargaining, he got a 10% discount. The deal was settled at 45,000 star dollars.

Then, he sent the renovation company away.

Luo Xin started to fiddle with his room and bought some daily necessities. After everything was done, he had nothing to do.

No one paid attention to the recruitment messages.

Luo Xin was also happy to be free. He rested in the encampment, cultivating, learning skills, and playing games every day.

Three days passed in a flash.

That morning, Luo Xin woke up early to train his abilities. However, before he could go to the training room, he received a call from Ink Bottle.

“Shatterer, you have been assigned a mission.”
