"Enjoy more if you like the tea," Mu Rufeng said with a faint smile.
"So, your instance this time is related to Borrell?" Ye Lin was not a fool. Since Mu Rufeng had mentioned Borrell’s name, there must be a connection.
"Yes," Mu Rufeng nodded, and then briefly described the situation with the Death Castle instance.
"I negotiated a deal with Viscount Borrell and got all his technical data from him."
"However, I don’t have much research in this area, so it’s up to the Mysterious Affairs Bureau now." Mu Rufeng said, as he directly took out the iron filing cabinet.
"Are you serious?" Ye Lin stood up and walked over to the filing cabinet, reaching out to touch it and check its attributes.
"But as you said, this technology turns people into a Beastman Form without rationality, so it’s not really that useful." Ye Lin spoke calmly after settling down.
"I am aware of that, but I learned from the memory of the carving that, on the eve of the Ancient Castle’s destruction, Borrell possessed the combat strength of a Level 4 Mysterious as a human."
"Maybe Borrell’s experiment was successful. If we could give people such combat strength, not just Level 4, even just Level 3..."
"When distributed nationwide, and with the full arrival of mysterious instances, coupled with the Login Bracelet, what kind of scenario do you think that would be?" Mu Rufeng spoke slowly.
"Hm?" Ye Lin seemed to envision that scene as well.
Without waiting for Ye Lin to speak, Mu Rufeng continued, "And don’t forget, Minister Ye, Fierce Tiger Power is already being practiced by everyone, and attribute fruits are now supplied in large quantities."
"As long as our high-end power reaches Level 9 Ghost Emperor in the future, we humans will no longer be sheep to the slaughter."
Hearing this, Ye Lin nodded solemnly, "Rest assured, I will have the Mysterious Affairs Bureau start researching this file immediately to see what it’s all about."
"If it really allows ordinary people to achieve the combat strength of third-level or even Level 4, then that will be the cornerstone of the rise and survival of our species."
"By the way, Minister Ye, how is the research on the Arrays coming along?" Mu Rufeng suddenly inquired.
"It’s still in research, and initial results are showing promise. However, Arrays don’t have much use in the current scenario," Ye Lin said.
An Array needs to be setup in a fixed location to be effective, so it’s hard to take it on the go.
There is no need for Arrays in the real world, to guard homes? Not necessary anymore, thanks to Mu Rufeng’s vine seed.
To make an Array mobile, you need to craft an Array Plate, which requires special materials.
The Mysterious Affairs Bureau is now researching toward Array Plates, and once they can produce them, then Arrays will become useful.
Mu Rufeng took an interest in learning about Arrays himself, but for some reason, he started to feel drowsy when he looked at the Array explanations.
After forcing himself to study for a few days, Mu Rufeng gave up; Array learning might not be his forte.
After all, not all strong people are omnipotent, and naturally, neither is Mu Rufeng.
"I will take this to the Mysterious Affairs Bureau right now." Ye Lin finished his Mountain Dragon Tea in one gulp and stood up.
"Don’t rush off. How far have you progressed in your Fierce Tiger Power cultivation?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Bone Refining Perfection, why do you ask?" Ye Lin said.
"Truly extraordinary talent, to reach Bone Refining Perfection in such a short time," Mu Rufeng exclaimed in admiration.
Mu Rufeng himself has reached Perfect Meat Refining due primarily to his formidable physique, which gave him exceptional Qi Blood Power.
Secondly, he had been consuming foods with special powers daily, which could be considered resources for cultivation.
Under these conditions, he had only reached the Perfection status of the third-level Body Refinement.
Ye Lin, who certainly would not have had access to as many resources, has surprisingly already reached the fourth-level, Bone Refining Perfection – truly, comparisons can be maddening.
Hearing this, Ye Lin smiled and said, "I haven’t slept for a long time; I use my sleeping hours for cultivation."
"The diligence of our department head indeed puts me to shame."
"Here, take this." Saying so, Mu Rufeng handed over a copied version of the Azure Dragon Transformation to Ye Lin.
This was the A4 paper Mu Rufeng had taken from Cheng Youlin’s office and then accurately copied using controlled ink on the way to the Capital.
"What’s this?" Ye Lin looked at the stack of A4 paper handed to him, curiously accepting it.
[Martial Arts · Azure Dragon Transformation]: A4 paper copy, unbound. The Azure Dragon Transformation is divided into three Transformations, having evolved from the Azure Dragon Formation within an ancient battle array, and reaching the third Transformation turns one into the Azure Dragon with immense strength.
"Bind it yourself. Also, it can’t be cultivated until you’ve reached Bone Refining, do remember not to haphazardly let others cultivate it," Mu Rufeng cautioned.
"This... this... is it from that Ancient Dungeon?" Ye Lin’s gaze sharpened, recognizing that this martial art belonged to the same cultivation system as Fierce Tiger Power.
"Yes, cultivating this Martial Art can also strengthen your own power, and with your extraordinary talent, it should greatly increase your strength," Mu Rufeng nodded and said.
"Thanks." Ye Lin did not say too much, simply uttering those two words.
But Mu Rufeng could clearly feel the deep gratitude Ye Lin expressed from his heart.
