I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 929: Chapter 929: What Lin Yi Cares About

Lin Yi’s words were immediately affirmed by the Dragon Queen.

The Dragon Queen, with a benevolent face, kept nodding, confirming Lin Yi’s statement.

”Yes, this task seems simple but involves too many things.”

”There aren’t many ways to enhance strength, and each one is crucial. It’s not easy for Dark Rising to reach this point. We can’t really hold an advantage against all the celestial divine beings. They possess things we might not, except for the Heaven-piercing Mantra you have at your disposal.”

”I have to say, your ability to see the essence through the phenomena surpasses most of the Dark Rising members. Analyzing problems from your perspective, this important task is in capable hands.”

After speaking, the Dragon Queen took out a dragon-marked jade token and placed it in front of Lin Yi.

”This thing shouldn’t be unfamiliar to you, it’s equivalent to your life-saving amulet. When faced with real danger, don’t try to be a hero. Your value to the organization is significant, even beyond your imagination. There are things we may not need to acquire; if unachievable, destroying them is also a good option.”

Lin Yi nodded, without saying much.

He understood the principle that more words often lead to mistakes.

In front of an experienced and astute person like the Dragon Queen, saying less is the best way to keep his inner thoughts hidden.

After properly storing the item, Lin Yi stood up, bowed, and then turned to leave.

Dezi, on the other hand, happily followed Lin Yi.

The two hadn’t been together long, but through the Dark Rising information database and his observations of Lin Yi, Dezi was certain that following Lin Yi was the right choice.

Therefore, when Lin Yi was about to use the interdimensional token to head to the mission coordinates, Dezi rushed after him.

”Brother, boss, can you let me tag along on this task? I...”

Dezi was just about to say that he would obediently follow Lin Yi and not cause any trouble, cheering him on, when unexpectedly, Lin Yi didn’t give him the chance and directly activated the interdimensional token to leave the Dark Rising Headquarters.

Watching Lin Yi’s disappearing figure, Dezi kept muttering:

Ah, all the bosses are the same. This temper, very strange. If you don’t want to bring me, then so be it. Besides, bringing me wouldn’t take any credit from you. Everyone in the Dark Rising Organization knows how awesome you are, Lin Yi.

Despite his complaints, Dezi’s actions were sincere.

He knew that Lin Yi probably wouldn’t be back for a while, so he immediately returned to Lin Yi’s place and started tidying up.

The desolate Z Star.

As far as the eye could see, it looked like an abandoned stretch with irregular stones piled up.

Apart from countless sand and stones, there was nothing else on this planet.

It’s utterly impossible to nurture life on such a planet.

This characteristic also meant that the planet was relatively safe, with no chance of being spied upon, making it a good temporary resting place.

At this moment, a squad was staying there.

In the rugged pile of rocks, a building made of giant stones was embedded within.

Those with the Power of the Primordial could easily use it to reshape the universe’s low-grade substance into any desired form.

Inside the building, a team of sixteen sat around, having dinner.

”I think we should withdraw. This outing has been quite rewarding, so naturally there’s bound to be action. It’s too difficult to avoid drawing the attention of all the celestial divine beings,” said Cheng Xiao while eating.

”I see we’ve gained quite a bit this time. Perhaps it’s best we head back. We don’t have much room for error, and if we push on, we might end up failing.”

Beside him were Blue Star’s two rising stars, Nangong Ling and Sun Dachuan.

As Blue Star’s strongest, they had the responsibility to lead Blue Star to greater heights.

Especially after Lin Yi’s departure, they had to step up their game, ensuring they wouldn’t hold Lin Yi back.

Sun Dachuan focused on his meal without speaking.

He knew his strengths lay in combat and equipment enhancement.

He never involved himself in discussions on how the team should proceed.

He understood that his decisions wouldn’t benefit the team much, so every time the team acted, the task of planning was left to Cheng Xiao and Stark, the War Gods mastering the Truth Law.

The relatively high-IQ Nangong Ling had a different perspective.

As one of Blue Star’s strongest before them, she had enough say.

”Senior Cheng Xiao, you’re right, but I believe opportunity and risk coexist.”

”We rarely go out; every outing carries risks. I think we should kill more divine soldiers.”

”You know, the dimension created by Feng Sanyou isn’t undetectable, just not within the gods’ understanding. If we keep popping in and out, it might increase exposure risk. Don’t you think?”

Nangong Ling’s words weren’t without reason.

But Cheng Xiao couldn’t quite agree.

He promised Xu Sheng to bring this team back intact.

The connections between planets have become tighter than before, to join forces against all the celestial divine beings, and during this venture, the team collaborated with many strong individuals from various planets.

Cheng Xiao knew the ugliness and selfishness of human nature well. Having interacted with people from many planets, he couldn’t guarantee that no one would sell out their location.

Facing a few divine soldiers, the team could still rely on cooperation with other strong individuals, uniting to attack and using various skill effects to keep the divine soldiers tightly restrained.

But what if the number of divine soldiers increased?

Why would chance acquaintances risk death to fight alongside us?

Cheng Xiao was most worried that when the enemy’s strength was overwhelmingly powerful, no one would stay to fight alongside them till the end.

”I still stand by my opinion. I can’t let any of you encounter problems. If worse comes to worst, we’ll just vote and make a decision together as a team.”

Stark nodded.

For now, he couldn’t decide either.

This team wasn’t simply on an outing to execute a mission and gather resources.

What they carried was also the future of Blue Star.

If something happened to this team, he couldn’t return to Blue Star with any dignity.

But he also didn’t know how to make a decision. He knew that, with his ability, he couldn’t turn the tide at a critical moment; lacking that capability, he couldn’t speak with certainty.

”I think Cheng Xiao’s suggestion is good. Shall we take a vote now?”

Just as Stark was about to initiate a vote to decide whether the team should return to Blue Star, a sinister laugh echoed.

”Heh, go, how are you going to go?”

”After killing a few divine soldiers, thinking of just leaving? No way, do you really think we divine soldiers are pushovers?”

The echoing voice pierced through the eardrums of each squad member, prompting those who had just been relaxed to put down their food and enter combat readiness.
