MTLNOVEL Chapter 289: The Deal
Water and World Imperial City.
In a retro-style underground bar, in the hidden room on the lowest floor, Lin Qing looked at the bald man with black wings leaning lazily on the sofa not far away, and said calmly, "Are you Fu Kun?"
As he spoke, he did not completely conceal his Void Dominator Level presence and Life Aura.
The bald man with black wings didn't expect a Void Dominator to appear and couldn't help but change his expression, hurriedly standing up and respectfully saying, "I am Fu Kun, may I know who you are, sir?"
In the whole Water and World, there are only a few hundred Void Dominators, and he had sensed the presence of almost every one of them, remembering them by heart. This Void Dominator in front of him was an unfamiliar presence.
Was it newly born?
Or from elsewhere?
But regardless of the origin, it was someone he couldn't afford to provoke.
"Fu Kun, I've heard that in this Imperial City, your intelligence is the most well-informed."
Looking at the unusually respectful Fu Kun, Lin Qing said calmly, "Help me investigate someone, you name the price."
"Please go ahead," Fu Kun immediately said.
"His name is Lei Lin," Lin Qing said. "His Life Aura is unclear, but he should be less than a hundred years old now, and his Life Level hasn't reached Void Creature."
Fu Kun found it a bit difficult upon hearing this and cautiously asked, "Are there any other characteristics? Like appearance or place of birth? Racial features?"
Water and Civilization is also a mature Great World with a population of trillions, and there are billions of Void Creatures!
The number of duplicate names is imaginable.
Especially below the level of Void Creatures, the people named 'Lei Lin' are in the billions, and many are not even in the intelligence records.
After all, below Void Creatures, they can only live for tens of thousands of years at most, and intelligence needs constant updating. The intelligence organization he runs cannot possibly record all these people's information accurately.
How can he find someone with just this bit of information?
"Appearance..."
Lin Qing also knew that it was difficult to find someone with just this bit of information, so he promptly moved his intent, and an energy light shadow gathered into a human figure, quickly becoming vivid and transforming into a young man who looked like a lone wolf.
"Roughly looks like this, also an Initial Human," Lin Qing said. "Besides, although he's in the Water and World, he should be in another space at this time."
"Initial Human?"
Fu Kun originally felt it was a bit difficult, as Initial Humans are also a major category among the Human Clan, and this screening condition was not considered precise.
But after hearing he was in another space, he couldn't help but shiver and immediately said, "That makes it a lot easier to check. In Water and World, there are only three Subspaces, aside from the World Central Plane where the Master of Civilization is, there are only Sol's Prison and the Imperial City as the two Subspaces."
"Oh?" Lin Qing said, "He is not of the Royal Family but should have a grudge against them."
"A grudge against the Royal Family?" Fu Kun couldn't help but tighten his heart.
"Don't think too much, you only need to gather intelligence, you don't need to do anything else," Lin Qing glanced at him and said, "You can name any price."
Fu Kun gritted his teeth, nodded, and said, "Yes, rest assured, sir."
"Go check," Lin Qing patted his shoulder, and a wisp of strange energy entered his body, encamping outside his soul. Then he smiled and said, "You better not play any tricks on me."
Fu Kun could clearly sense the terrifying power contained in that wisp of energy and couldn't help but shiver in his heart. He could only take a deep breath and say in a deep voice, "Rest assured, sir."
Lin Qing nodded, and then teleported away.
Snake paths for snakes, rat paths for rats.
He also knew some immense intelligence organizations, but those are intelligence networks involving a certain sea area or even the entire Void Sea, whereas for small figures within this world, it's better to find such local intelligence organizations.
The main thing is that he only knows the general information about the target, and Life Aura is also at the Void Creature Level; he wasn't sure about earlier times.
Otherwise, it would be much easier if he could check based on Life Aura.
"What a hassle..."
Lin Qing strolled along the streets of the Water and World Imperial City, restraining his aura, and walked casually as if leisurely wandering, "This Master of Water and World has a deep connection with the Starfall Civilization. My identity can't be exposed, otherwise, direct transactions would be more convenient..."
For now, he had no choice, as he couldn't expose his identity.
Otherwise, if this Master of Water and World reported to the Primordial Emperor of Starfall Civilization, it would be troublesome, at least they wouldn't allow him to take people away so easily.
If a war broke out prematurely, his current strength wouldn't be a match for the Primordial Emperor, still slightly inferior.
If it were only this Master of Water and World, even if the other party wielded World Power, they couldn't harm him, at most forcibly expel him from the Water and World.
"In any case..."
Lin Qing squinted his eyes, "Even if it leads to a great battle, potentially drawing the Primordial Emperor, I must find Lei Lin and bring him back..."
During the time of future simulation, he only found a few individuals who met the requirements of the Heart of Infinite as successors, and Lei Lin was relatively outstanding. As long as he was well-cultivated, he could fully meet the standard of a second-grade successor.
By then, he could learn the Supreme Secret Technique of the 'City Lord Lan.'
The Supreme Secret Technique, only such a Peak powerhouse like the Light King can create it after all their efforts, is entirely different from the Origin Level Secret Technique, and its growth potential is extremely high.
He had already experienced it in future simulations, so he naturally knew how much help this Supreme Secret Technique could provide him.
Unfortunately, such a transcendent-level secret technique also requires an inheritance to begin cultivation. Otherwise, even if he knew the cultivation method, he wouldn't be able to succeed in cultivation. If not, he would have long advanced it or passed it on to others in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
