Chapter 304: Not A Divine Envoy, But Better Than One
“It can still be like this?” Lu Li looked at Gimmighoul in some surprise, and at the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After putting the mask on Bao Bao, Lu Li could clearly feel that the psychic power in her body was continuously shrinking.
Lu Li knew that this was Bao Bao’s psychic power being suppressed by the Mask of the Thousand-Faced God.
Lu Li asked, “Then when will she wake up?”
Gimmighoul replied, “We have to wait for her body to gradually adapt to the psychic power inside her.”
“However… shouldn’t we deal with the trouble here now?” Gimmighoul reminded.
Lu Li listened and looked up at the surveillance camera in the corner, a flash of coldness in his eyes.
“Remember this face of mine. Your Divine Cult should detour when you see me in the future.” After saying that, Lu Li nodded to Gimmighoul.
It had been so long and no one had come, which could only mean one thing.
This room had a special energy detector. When Gimmighoul appeared here, its strength had already been exposed.
Realizing this, Lu Li’s facial expression changed, and he quickly said to Gimmighoul, “Take me to their data center.”
Lu Li didn’t know what kind of laboratory this was, but the valuable stuff was definitely in the data center and the base treasury.
After summoning the secret realm entrance and putting Bao Bao into the secret realm, Gimmighoul brought Lu Li to the base’s data center.
At this moment, the staff members here were continuously transferring data and clearing various data from the experimental base.
The base did not have a self-destruct system because the Divine Cult was too confident.
To put it bluntly, the Golden Triangle was the Divine Cult’s territory. Unless someone broke into the Golden Triangle, this base would be impregnable.
As for the self-destruct system? If the Golden Triangle fell, whether the base self-destructed or not would no longer matter.
Suddenly appearing Lu Li said to this group of busy staff members, “If I were you, I would obediently hand over all the data.”
The lead staff member had already given up struggling after seeing Lu Li appear.
Although the person in charge of this base was Dr. Futo, the one really in charge was still him.
“Sun Mu has seen the Divine Envoy Lord.” Sun Mu bowed respectfully.
“You’re quite polite.” Lu Li glanced at the data transfer progress bar on the display screen; the progress bar above already showed termination.
The other’s cooperation surprised Lu Li a bit.
“Are all you Divine Cult people this sensible?” Lu Li asked with interest.
Sun Mu calmly replied, “Our Divine Cult is for all of humanity, even without taking sides. If you are willing, I can even bring this base to join you.”
Lu Li narrowed his eyes and asked, “Then what if it was people from the Yamato Alliance who came today?”
“We would still make the same choice. As you said, we never talk about positions or regions.” Sun Mu smiled as he looked at Lu Li.
There was no anger in Sun Mu’s eyes, not even hatred, only a kind of calm acceptance.
People from the Divine Cult are all lunatics.
This sentence suddenly appeared in Lu Li’s mind; Yao Yifei, Ekaterina, and even Qu Suxin had all said this to him.
Shocked by such villains, Lu Li said coldly, “I want all the research data from this laboratory, and everything in the base treasury.”
Sun Mu didn’t speak but proved his cooperation with actions.
Sun Mu nodded to the staff member beside him, and the staff members who had stopped began working busily again.
But this time, what they were busy with was not transferring data, but copying and downloading data.
Sun Mu asked again, “Lord, do you want me to take you to the base treasury?”
The shocked Lu Li looked deeply at Sun Mu.
“I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere.” Lu Li said with a furrowed brow.
Lu Li always felt that the other was very familiar; he must have seen this person’s photograph somewhere, but definitely not in the real world.
Sun Mu nodded in admission, “If you pay attention to the scientific community, you should have seen my photo. After all, I am quite famous in the scientific community as a doctor.”
Hearing this, Lu Li finally remembered who this guy was.
The famous physics and mechanics doctor Sun Mu; his most famous achievement was researching the spatial inhibitor.
Almost every large power has this spatial inhibitor thing, specifically to prevent Psychic Type Pokémon that can use teleport.
Of course, the spatial inhibitor is only effective against Pokémon below champion level.
“I didn’t expect you to join the Divine Cult.” Lu Li sighed with complex tone.
How big was the impact of Sun Mu’s spatial inhibitor on this matter?
Without exaggeration, every Psychic Type trainer in this world hates this guy because the spatial inhibitor severely nerfed all Psychic Type Pokémon.
Fortunately, the spatial inhibitor is expensive to produce, otherwise Sun Mu would definitely be shot in the back eight times and commit suicide.
Sun Mu replied indifferently, “No way, I’ve offended too many people.”
“Didn’t the alliance provide you with protection?” Lu Li asked puzzled.
Someone of Sun Mu’s level would be a national treasure-level figure in his previous life; the alliance doesn’t care about such talent?
No…
Sun Mu seems to be American, so that makes sense.
“They did, but you didn’t protect my family members well.” Sun Mu replied expressionlessly.
When Sun Mu said this, it didn’t sound like he was talking about his own family members, but rather a group of unrelated strangers.
But Lu Li still keenly noticed Sun Mu’s emotional change.
Lu Li looked deeply at Sun Mu, as if imprinting this face in his heart.
“See? In this world, without power, this is the outcome.” Lu Li warned himself in his heart.
Lu Li, who said no more, said to Gimmighoul beside him, “Gimmighoul, take us to the treasury.”
The scenery before them changed again, and the three arrived in the base treasury.
There were many and miscellaneous things in the base treasury.
“The treasury has the most various Pokémon eggs, with uneven qualifications. Some are for experiments, some are rewards for meritorious church members.” Sun Mu explained from the side.
Lu Li asked, “No Pokémon secret treasures?”
Sun Mu shook his head, “This is a scientific research base, not a military base.”
After scanning the Pokémon egg area with his spiritual vision eye and confirming there was nothing good, Lu Li said, “Take me to the material area.”
“Please follow me.” Sun Mu led the way ahead.
Soon the two arrived at the material area.
It could only be said that it was worthy of a scientific research base; Lu Li found that this place could rival the black market’s grocery area.
However, with too many things, even with a storage ring, it might not be possible to transfer them all out.
Moreover…
“Can I just claim this entire base for myself?” Lu Li turned and asked.
“Your ambition is greater and crazier than I imagined.” Sun Mu sincerely praised.
Originally, he thought the other would at most loot once, but unexpectedly, they were aiming to take over the nest.
Sun Mu advised, “I don’t recommend you do that. You can’t stay in the base long-term. For stability and safety, the Divine Cult will definitely destroy it.”
“And going all-out against the Divine Cult for one base is not wise, even if you are the legendary divine envoy.”
“The Divine Cult isn’t afraid of divine envoys?” Lu Li looked at Sun Mu in surprise.
“The Five Great Alliances have always wanted to wipe out the Divine Cult, but they’ve never succeeded. Although I haven’t seen the Divine Cult’s god with my own eyes, I can confirm that the Divine Cult definitely has a god.”
“That’s a pity.” Lu Li regretfully shook his head.
Since the base couldn’t be occupied, he could only poach the walls.
“Then, Dr. Sun Mu, are you interested in working with me?” Lu Li looked at Sun Mu with some expectation.
Lu Li was someone who believed in science and knew the value of scientific talent, so he had no intention of killing Sun Mu.
“I would be delighted.” Sun Mu slightly bowed.
Sun Mu said, “Please take care of me from now on. Should I call you boss or boss? If you have special preferences, master is also fine.”
Lu Li: “…”
“Call me boss.” Lu Li quickly replied.
Just thinking of a nearly 70-year-old man calling him master one after another in front of him made Lu Li’s scalp tingle.
Sun Mu nodded, “Okay, boss.”
After straightening up, Sun Mu asked again, “Then how do you plan to handle this place? If you want to destroy it, can I take a few apprentices? My disciples still have some value.”
“Sure.” Lu Li nodded and added, “You go watch the data center first. I want all the experimental data from here.”
After Sun Mu left, Lu Li eagerly went to a shelf.
“I didn’t expect this world to have this thing.” Lu Li looked in surprise at the medicinal herb before him.
The shelf label said energy gathering grass. These energy gathering grasses were dried, but there were still some seeds on them, and the activity of these seeds was not low.
This meant he could go back and plant these energy gathering grasses.
Lu Li didn’t know the role of energy gathering grass in the Pokémon World, but in the cultivation world, energy gathering grass is called spirit gathering grass.
The effects and value of spirit gathering grass are simple: it is the main ingredient in qi refining powder.
As the name suggests, qi refining powder’s main effect is clear.
Qi refining powder can accelerate cultivation in the qi refining stage, and most importantly, qi refining powder can be taken long-term.
He needed this badly; after sixteen years of cultivation, he had only reached qi refining layer 3. If he didn’t get serious, foundation establishment would really be hopeless.
With qi refining powder, Lu Li was confident he could reach qi refining layer 9 within two years.
After directly storing these things in his storage ring, Lu Li selected some special metals here. Melmetal also eats metal, so these would definitely come in handy.
After searching the treasury again, Lu Li helplessly returned to the data center.
“The biggest gain from the base treasury is the spirit gathering grass.” Lu Li sighed.
Seeing Lu Li return, Sun Mu respectfully reported, “Boss, the data download is complete.”
“Then let’s go.” Lu Li said as he summoned the secret realm entrance.
Seeing this, Sun Mu was extremely excited and said to the apprentice he was pulling beside him, “As expected! My previous guess was right; the secret realm entrance isn’t fixed but can move freely.”
The pulled apprentice nervously reminded, “Teacher… calm down, be careful of high blood pressure.”
It took Sun Mu a while to calm down. After taking a few deep breaths, Sun Mu looked at Lu Li with burning eyes, “Boss, can I study this secret realm entrance?”
Lu Li casually nodded and comforted, “You can study the secret realm entrance however you want. I can even set the secret realm entrance in your laboratory.”
Hearing Lu Li’s guarantee, Sun Mu was even more excited, “That would be even better.”
Lu Li urged, “Let’s go to the secret realm first. I’ll arrange for you after I get home.”
Sun Mu led his apprentices reluctantly into the secret realm. It wasn’t that they were reluctant to leave the base; Sun Mu was purely reluctant to leave this movable secret realm entrance.
After everyone left, the casual ease on Lu Li’s face converged, and he coldly ordered, “Gimmighoul, destroy this place, then go home.”
Gimmighoul nodded.
After the human and Pokémon disappeared, the Cthulhu style descended on the Pokémon World again.
Strange twisted vines continuously grew and gathered…
Finally, at the base’s location, there was a vine that seemed to reach the sky, with a diameter of an outrageous 2 kilometers.
Although waste is shameful, it’s better than leaving resources to the enemy.
Just back at the villa, Lu Li ran into Wei with a face full of expectation: “Lu Li, Bao Bao…”
Lu Li smiled and nodded, then opened the secret realm entrance.
After hugging out the sleeping Bao Bao, Lu Li explained, “Due to some unknown reason, Bao Bao’s psychic power has grown to a degree her body cannot bear, so she fell into a deep sleep.”
“But Gimmighoul left a divine item for Bao Bao. It just needs some time to resolve this issue. I believe Bao Bao will wake up soon.”
Looking at the unconscious Bao Bao, Wei’s suspended heart finally settled.
When Lu Li just carried Bao Bao out, she almost cried; she thought something had happened to her sister.
“Then how long will she sleep?” Wei asked worriedly.
Gimmighoul said from the side, “Shortest is half a month.”
“And the mask I left might give this little one an extra special ability. If successful, this little one will be my envoy.” Gimmighoul also looked expectantly at the unconscious Bao Bao.
“Ah!”
Hearing this, Wei looked worriedly at Lu Li.
If her sister became the envoy of the Thousand-Faced God, what about Lu Li?
Wei was a bit panicked, afraid that Lu Li would blame Bao Bao.
Noticing this, Lu Li smiled and said, “I’m not Gimmighoul’s envoy.”
“Ah!” Wei looked at Lu Li puzzled; even like this, not an envoy?
Lu Li explained, “Gimmighoul is my companion, like family.”
