Chapter 509: Dark Stepping Stone (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the press conference, Feng Qi’s life returned to normal.

Public opinion was slowly brewing, and the popularity of Flesh Sacrifice was steadily increasing.

He also became the focus of the outside world. Everything was developing in the direction planned by the owner of the fog.

On this morning.

The sky was bright, with low, dark clouds outside and a gentle drizzle.

It was rare for the south gate of the Tiger Soul Research Institute to be open on this day.

A convoy of trucks stretched along the main road outside the base, passing through the security check at the entrance before heading towards the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s warehouse.

The Tiger Soul Research Institute’s warehouse was located at the back of the base.

The area was enclosed by a wall constructed from special metal. Along the route, three equipment checkpoints were positioned to detect life fluctuations. There was a 30-man squad on duty outside the warehouse, patrolling 24 hours a day and rotating every eight hours.

At this moment, Feng Qi was standing outside the wall of the warehouse, staring at the transport convoy coming from afar.

He turned to look at his assistant and nodded at it.

The assistant was one of the members of the Night Shadow Race who had been subdued.

Its name was Night-2.

At this moment, it turned to face the metal wall and reached out to enter a long string of passwords on the wall screen.

As the ground trembled, the metal wall slowly sank into the ground.

Soon after, the warehouse quickly extended and expanded.

In a moment, an elevator that led to the underground rose from the center of the warehouse.

At this moment, the convoy stopped outside the warehouse.

“Let’s start tallying the resources,” Feng Qi said at this moment.

The Tiger Soul Research Institute’s combat team standing behind him heard him and went forward to help unload the goods.

The containers that were unloaded would be opened, and the resources would be counted.

The counting method was quite straightforward. One simply had to use a scanning device and scan the contents. The detectors developed by the Science and Technology Research Institute could automatically record the resources in them.

The number of resources indicated on the tablet in Feng Qi’s hand was increasing.

The spiritual materials scanned by the device would be displayed on the tablet in his hand simultaneously.

This happened once a month, and he had to supervise the resource count.

The owner of the fog didn’t care much about the research projects at the Tiger

Soul Research Institute. It only valued resources.

When it was around, it would be in charge of the resource inventory.

However, since the owner of the fog was executing a plan against the Scarlet Research Institute, Feng Qi took over the responsibility for the time being.

He spent half a day tallying the resources.

The spiritual materials allocated this month were counted.

After confirming that there were no problems with the list, Feng Qi gave the order. Then, a large number of spiritual materials were sent to the underground warehouse through the elevator.

The remaining spiritual materials would be sent to the sub-bases, the research project teams at the headquarters, and the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s cafeteria.

After keeping busy for a while, his clothes were already soaked from the ram. Feng Qi was about to return to his room to change his clothes when he realized a figure was slowly walking towards him from the south gate.

Its clothes were tattered, but its face was filled with a confident smile.

It was the owner of the fog who had been gone for more than 10 days.

Seeing the smile on the owner of the fog’s face, he knew that this mission had succeeded.

The owner of the fog walked in front of him.

It reached out and punched his chest, grinning.

“The plan worked.”

Feng Qi was not surprised to hear this.

In the normal historical timeline, the owner of the fog had also succeeded.

Had the owner of the fog not concealed the higher-ups of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team, he wouldn’t have been able to assume the role of their new leader and successfully progress to the second tier of the core team of the Science and Technology Research Institute.

After some communication, Feng Qi roughly understood the owner of the fog’s experience in Twilight City.

There were no mistakes in the process.

At this stage, the Science and Technology Research Institute was wary of the Scarlet Research Institute.

Next, vigilance would gradually turn into hostility in the owner of the fog’s subsequent plan.

After listening to the owner of the fog’s explanation, Feng Qi sized it up and smiled.

‘■Since you’re back, it means the operation is over. What are your plans next?” “I’ll engage in secluded cultivation for a few months before considering those matters. After all, enhancing my strength is the top priority.”

As it spoke, the owner of the fog turned to look at Night-2, who was following behind it.

Its tone turned cold as it said fiercely.

“Night-2, open the warehouse door for me. Your lord is going into seclusion.” After cultivating Flesh Sacrifice, Night-2, whose life was under the owner of the fog’s control, trembled. It scuttled back to the metal wall of the warehouse and entered the password.

The metal wall descended once more, and the warehouse base unfolded like a blooming flower.

The owner of the fog reached out and patted its shoulder.

■TH go into seclusion first. Contact me through the communication device if there’s any emergency.”

“Go on.”

The owner of the fog nodded and walked towards the elevator of the resource warehouse.

This warehouse was important to the Tiger Soul Research Institute and was listed as a forbidden area.

However, to the owner of the fog, this was just a treasure vault for it to obtain spiritual resources at will.

Looking at the owner of the fog who was standing on the elevator platform, Feng Qi was about to turn around and leave.

However, the owner of the fog raised its right hand and gave him a thumbs up with a smile.

Three days later, Feng Qi was flipping through the news in his office.

At this moment, his phone rang.

Picking up his phone, he realized that it was a call from an unknown number..
