[Task Number E29856: Routine Patrol of Broken Stele Prison, Level One, Block B, Remaining Slots: 2]
After discovering this task, Lin Qing immediately applied for it.
According to what Chen Guang just mentioned, compared to other tasks, this one involved relatively less risk.
Although Broken Stele Prison held Outer Space Smugglers who had committed crimes, the more vicious the smuggler, the stronger the control they were under, and the less likely they were to cause trouble.
Moreover, the inmates on the first level of the prison belonged to the weaker class among the Outer Space Smugglers.
The routine patrol task was also quite simple.
Although God Island was safe, it was filled with influential figures from Extraterrestrial Civilizations who had significant backgrounds; even the Intelligent Star Group did not want to offend them, which could make things even more troublesome should an incident arise.
Lin Qing was quite satisfied, "I just wonder if I'll be chosen?"
He just wanted to focus on his training now, avoid trouble, and wait until his strength was sufficient to start improving his Order Level.
This task was very suitable, and the points reward was also quite good.
Therefore, there were many applicants.
After Lin Qing signed up, he also took a look at the other tasks as alternatives.
Even though his profile had been updated to show he now possessed the original "Free Body," making him a very promising new patrol member in high demand, it was still uncertain if he would be chosen.
However, just a little while later—

Lin Qing's phone had already received a notification that he was accepted for the task.
"It's set." Lin Qing glanced at Yuan Anping, who was still choosing a task, before he left.
"I'll be leaving the headquarters at two o'clock this afternoon for a patrol task."
Inside the apartment, while packing his luggage, Lin Qing instructed Zhao Jiayi, who was beside him, "Be good on your own, don't randomly use Telekinesis Detection, and don't run around."
"Oh..." Zhao Jiayi looked puzzled, "Isn't this Inspection Headquarters? Why be so cautious?"
"Inspection Headquarters is not that safe either." Lin Qing glanced at her.
Leaving Lin'an City for the Inspection Headquarters was like 'pioneering' a new living circle, but his Order Level had not increased much, only by 2.5 Levels.
This indicated that the Order Level of his current living circle was also just 2.5 Levels.
Thankfully, he could take leave and return to his hometown anytime, thus Lin'an City still counted as part of his living circle; otherwise, his Order Level would have dropped directly to 2.5 Levels.
According to deduction—
The height of the Order Level depended first on one's own social stratum and second on whether the living circle was peaceful and stable.
Before he left Lin'an City, it was possible to maintain its stability and peace, but the upper limit was only 5.7 Levels.
That was the upper limit for the stratum of Lin'an City, but not for him.
Theoretically, if he moved into a new living circle with a higher stratum that was also stable, the increase in his Order Level should exceed 5.7 Levels.
But now, after arriving at what seemed like the more peaceful and stable headquarters, the Order Level had only increased by 2.5 Levels, indicating that there were obviously problems at the headquarters.
There must be hidden risks that he could not see.
However, as long as his strength continued to improve, and his stratum rose higher, he could resolve these risks.
"8.2 Levels... not too far from 10 Levels."
Lin Qing mused to himself, "My current living circle is this training department, what could be the hidden dangers?"
At 1:45 p.m. that day.
Inside the East District Airport of Inspection Headquarters, Lin Qing underwent iris and fingerprint identification before boarding the plane arranged by headquarters.
The task was simple, so there was no need to bring Zhao Jiayi along.
On the plane, several people had already arrived.
This task was of low difficulty, graded E for Easy, with a total of ten people: three One Star Level Elite Patrol members and seven new patrol members.
The one appointed by the headquarters system as the team leader of the task group was one of the outstanding members among the One Star Level Elite Patrol.
An attractive man with a somewhat pale complexion sized up Lin Qing and slowly showed a hint of a smile, "I am Cheng Cong, the team leader for this task. I see from your profile that you have already mastered the original 'Free Body'? Almost a One Star Level Elite Patrol member, right?"
"Pretty much," Lin Qing nodded.
The detailed information of the headquarters' patrol members was only accessible to the higher-ups of the headquarters.
The smile on Cheng Cong's face deepened, and the way he looked at Lin Qing became much friendlier.
Lin Qing felt that the other party's attitude was a bit too friendly, but he was used to it by now.
Mastering the original Combat Skill before Genetic Awakening indeed showed potential; with Genetic Optimization and subsequent Genetic Awakening, he would soon become a Two Stars Level Elite Patrol member with a bright future.
It was normal for the other party to want to get on good terms.
After Lin Qing found an empty seat to sit down in and placed his backpack on the adjacent seat to keep others at bay, the other six new patrol members also arrived.
Suddenly, Lin Qing noticed a few faces he recognized, seemingly those he met when he first arrived at the headquarters, in the training class teaching the Free Body Battle Technique – a few new patrol members who also practiced the Free Body Combat lineage.
After the airplane took off, he carefully observed and then confirmed that all these new members practiced Free Body.
This made Lin Qing feel somewhat peculiar.
Wasn't this just a routine patrol task for the first level of Broken Stele Prison; why specifically recruit new patrol members who practiced Free Body?
At that moment, Cheng Cong, the task group team leader, came over from the front, glanced at Lin Qing's backpack placed on the neighboring seat, and smiled, "Do you have a moment to talk?"
