Chapter 93: Universe Security Company, Team Formation

Chapter 93: Universe Security Company, Team Formation

Binhai Global Center Tower is the most expensive office building in the Binhai CBD.

Universe Security Company is located right here.

Today is the day with the highest attendance for Universe Security Company, with 182 mutants signed under the company present.

In addition to mutants, Universe Security Company also has over a thousand employees for logistical support.

Lin Zeyu led Lu Heng into the company, and the manager waiting in the lobby hurriedly greeted them, "Boss, everyone is here, awaiting your instructions."

In the lobby, over a hundred mutants in uniform stood in four neat rows.

Additionally, there were several dozen mutants in casual attire sitting in the sofa area, drinking tea.

These mutants not wearing uniforms had signed cooperative agreements with Universe Security, with more relaxed contract terms, so most of them didn't wear the company uniform.

Some had even signed non-exclusive agreements with multiple security companies instead of exclusive deals.

The stronger the mutant, the more privileges they enjoyed.

Therefore, in terms of pure strength, the mutants in casual attire sitting in the sofa area were actually the more powerful ones.

"Boss, here are the security personnel's profiles," the manager handed over a stack of documents to Lin Zeyu.

Lin Zeyu passed them to Lu Heng, saying, "You take a look. Just point out who you want."

Lu Heng held the documents but didn't look at them, instead asking directly, "First, give me an overview of the situation."

The manager's position was well-deserved; he didn't need to refer to the documents to answer, "Currently, our Universe Security has 215 mutants, with 182 present today.

"Another 33 are out on assignments and not in the company at the moment. If needed, we can recall them after you've reviewed the profiles.

"Among the 215 mutants, there are 73 above Level 10, with the highest level being 18.

"The mutants' functions cover various abilities, from defensive, psychic to sensory, meeting the demands of most tasks."

At this stage, the 73 mutants above Level 10 were already a formidable team.

Lu Heng walked before them, observing as he searched for suitable teammates for missions.

While Lu Heng was observing them, these 182 mutants were also staring at Lu Heng.

Today was a rare occasion where all Universe Security's personnel gathered, and they had initially thought they would be meeting some important figure. However, the person who arrived was young and even looked like a student.

A few of the more powerful mutants showed signs of impatience.

At this stage, mutants who had reached Levels 17 and 18 must have successfully completed at least one or two dangerous Level 3 or above Abyssal Battlefield missions.

These mutants were at the top of the pyramid, the first-tier elites.

Strength and temperament often went hand in hand.

These top-tier mutants naturally didn't want to waste time meeting someone useless.

In the sofa area, the highest-leveled mutants were already whispering among themselves:

"Which big family's young master is this? Is it another mission to accompany a young master on a hunting trip?"

"What else could it be? This company is controlled by the Lin family, and it was initially established to provide security for the Lin family's young master."

"It's probably some family with a close relationship with the Lin family. The good thing about these missions is that the pay is generous, but they're indeed quite boring."

At the highest-leveled table in the sofa area, two people recognized Lu Heng.

These two were Wang Xiangfeng and Li Da Yong.

They had participated in the final battle at the Evil God's Graveyard and escorted Lin Zeyu out of the battlefield after he was injured.

That's why they managed to return alive.

The others didn't recognize Lu Heng, but these two immediately stood up and smiled upon seeing him.

The nearby mutants noticed their strange reaction and pulled Wang Xiangfeng, asking, "What's going on? Why are you being so respectful, as if you've seen some important person?"

Wang Xiangfeng shook off his hand and whispered, "You guys should keep quiet. Just our table alone wouldn't be able to withstand him for even one round."

Their table was the highest-leveled one in the sofa area.

There were six of them, with an average level of 17.

Six mutants with an average level of 17 would be highly sought after by any major power.

Now, someone was saying that these six people combined couldn't withstand one round from a certain individual.

This statement sounded absurd no matter how you looked at it.

"Old Wang, you're joking, right?"

"I'm not joking with you. If you don't believe me, go and try it yourself."

Soon, someone realized and asked, "Isn't this the person who came out of the Evil God's Graveyard?"

"Yes, it's him. He saved our boss, and Lei Jin Hao also died at his hands," Wang Xiangfeng revealed the truth.

Regarding the Evil God's Graveyard, the Lin family had ordered these two to keep silent about it.

However, there were 15 mutants who had come out of the Evil God's Graveyard, and with so many people, it was impossible to completely block the news. Thus, the mutants present had all heard more or less about the Evil God's Graveyard.

After hearing Wang Xiangfeng's words, the mutants at this table quickly stood up and looked at Lu Heng with respectful expressions.

Wang Xiangfeng and Li Da Yong walked forward and stood at the front of the line, greeting Lu Heng, "Brother Lu, it's been a while.

Lu Heng nodded in greeting, "Are you all doing well?"

"We're doing great, and we owe it to you for taking care of us in the Abyssal Battlefield." The two expressed their gratitude with serious faces.

They managed to survive and complete the three challenge tasks in the Evil God's Graveyard, all thanks to Lu Heng's disposal of the Evil God's heart.

With this Abyssal Battlefield experience, they also became the highest-ranked Mutants within Universe Security.

"Is there a mission this time? If there's anything we can help with, just let us know." Wang Xiangfeng quickly volunteered.

"I'm here to select specific Mutants with particular abilities."

Lu Heng followed them with a shadow and then turned to the manager, asking, "Are there any Mutants in the company who have mastered healing reduction abilities?"

The manager clapped his hands and loudly asked, "Those with healing reduction abilities, please step forward."

Lu Heng added, "It's a skill that reduces the target's recovery effect."

The manager repeated the question twice, but no one responded.

Healing reduction abilities serve to diminish the target's recovery effects.

However, human Mutants rarely possess healing abilities.

Therefore, with a limited number of skill slots, most Mutants focus on boosting their combat power, and few are willing to learn skills that don't enhance their strength.

Seeing no response, Lin Zeyu also asked loudly, "Is there really no one with healing reduction abilities?"

Previously, he had boasted in front of Lu Heng that they had Mutants of all types.

Now, not a single person could meet Lu Heng's first requirement.

The manager reacted swiftly and turned to Lin Zeyu, saying, "Boss, we do have a skill crystal core for healing reduction in the company's warehouse. Should we have someone learn it now?"

Lin Zeyu thought that as long as it was usable, and nodded in agreement, "Sure, bring the skill crystal core over for Lu Heng to take a look."

The manager had someone fetch a skill crystal core.

【Weapon Empowerment: Healing Reduction - Infuse the weapon with energy, causing healing reduction on targets when attacked, reducing their recovery effect by 50%. Duration: 10 minutes; Skill Consumption: 10 Source Energy; Skill Rank: D-Rank.】

"This skill is good; we can use it." Lu Heng evaluated.

Lin Zeyu looked at the Mutants present and asked, "Who still has an empty skill slot and is willing to learn this skill, please step forward."

The Mutants in the queue began whispering to each other.

The number of Mutants with empty skill slots was not high, and even those with available slots had to consider their skill combinations and whether learning this skill would be suitable.

After a round of whispering, finally, two people stepped forward, expressing their willingness to learn the skill.

At this moment, Wang Xiangfeng suddenly raised his hand and said, "Brother Lu, let me do it."

Lin Zeyu curiously asked, "Aren't all your skill slots full?"

Wang Xiangfeng explained, "My advanced class is Skill Master, and my Essence Ability is to gain an additional special skill slot. Moreover, the skill in this slot can be enhanced by Essence Enhancement."

Hearing this, Lu Heng became interested, "That's great. I think Wang Xiangfeng can learn this skill. But you should discuss it among yourselves and decide on the arrangement."

Wang Xiangfeng's original function was as an Invisible Reconnaissance Soldier, and his skill set was diverse, making it unlikely for him to develop into a primary combat Mutant.

Now that he heard Lu Heng was looking for a Mutant with healing reduction abilities, he decided to learn this skill so he could continue to support Lu Heng.

Lin Zeyu and Wang Xiangfeng exchanged a few words, and finally, they agreed to let Wang Xiangfeng learn the skill 【Weapon Empowerment: Healing Reduction】.

Originally, according to Universe Security's contract, Mutants had to record the market price of the skills they learned.

The subsequent expenses would be deducted from their commissions, and before the deduction was complete, Mutants who used the company's skill crystal cores were not allowed to leave the company.

However, Wang Xiangfeng had carried Lin Zeyu out of the Evil God's Temple in the Evil God's Graveyard.

So, Lin Zeyu waved his hand generously, waiving this expense, and gave the skill crystal core to Wang Xiangfeng as a gift.

Wang Xiangfeng absorbed the crystal core's energy and gained the new skill 【Weapon Empowerment: Healing Reduction (Essence Enhanced)】.

The skill slot he used was the special skill slot added by his advanced class, Skill Master, and the skills in this slot received an enhancement effect.

"What's the effect after enhancement?" Lu Heng asked.

"The healing reduction effect has been increased to 70%." Wang Xiangfeng replied.

"Excellent, a D-Rank skill with C-Rank effects. And the skill consumption is even lower than a C-Rank skill." Lu Heng praised.

Next, Lu Heng selected a few more Mutants to join this offshore mission.

Since he had previously worked well with Wang Xiangfeng and Li Da Yong in the Abyssal Battlefield, he decided to bring them along.

Now that Wang Xiangfeng was coming, he might as well bring Li Da Yong too.

The team was assembled, including the Mutant responsible for sailing, totaling 12 people.

With the personnel arranged, they also needed to prepare weapons.

Universe Security had officially approved gun licenses, so Lin Zeyu had prepared a batch of firearms.

With everything prepared, the next day, the group set off on their offshore journey aboard the yacht.
