Activating the Omniscient System, I'm doomed!
Chapter 50 Pangolin Turtle
"Comrade Luo, this is your dormitory. From today onwards, as long as you stay at the base, we will send you daily necessities and supplements..."
The woman who led the way explained with a smile.
Luo Yi had already seen various nutritional supplement boxes in the corridor.
Expensive tonics and Chinese and Western medicinal herbs that are very expensive on the market are available here like snacks, and are supplied every day.
"See if you need anything else, I'll write it down and I'll prepare it for you quickly."
The woman ticked a few things off in the notebook, then asked a question.
"Not at the moment."
Seeing the dormitory that was comparable to a presidential suite, Luo Yi was pleasantly surprised.
What we really need is, of course, the blood essence of the tiger-headed bee, but we certainly can't say that now; we need to wait for an opportunity.
"Then you can rest first. If you need anything, just call the front desk."
"Okay, thank you."
Luo Yi closed the door and then noticed that there was a corridor surveillance camera behind the door, allowing him to see what was happening outside without leaving the room.
The ceiling lights are also intelligently temperature-sensitive, the entire wall of the living room is a TV screen, and the bathroom is even larger, covering an area of 10 square meters, with a round soaking tub inside.
"The conditions are really good; the National Security Bureau's funding is certainly ample."
Luo Yi took out his luggage, took a hot shower, and then fell asleep on the smart massage chair.
In a daze, I heard the doorbell ring from inside the house.
Immediately afterwards, the screen opposite the living room showed the situation outside the door.
The person who rang the doorbell was Du Ziteng, who had donated blood this morning. His distinctive pompadour hairstyle made him easily recognizable.
"Roy, have you had lunch?"
Du Ziteng's voice came through the television speakers.
Luo Yi tentatively replied, "Can you hear me?"
"Sure, is this your first time using the smart devices in the house?"
Luo Yi walked over and opened the door. "What's the difference?"
Du Ziteng smiled and said, "The first time you use it, you need to switch the smart device to learning mode so that it can adapt to your lifestyle."
After saying that, he simply went to the living room and pressed a few buttons on the smart TV. "Now it's working. Even if the cleaning staff comes in, it can accurately identify and monitor them."
"Come on, I'll take you to the cafeteria. You'll have plenty of time to get to know your dorm."
Du Ziteng smiled and led the way.
Luo Yi glanced at the time; it was already noon. He nodded and followed.
The base canteen has five floors, and the food standards vary depending on the patient's physical condition.
Du Ziteng only realized what was happening when he reached the window. He glanced back at his meal card and exclaimed, "Holy crap! The machine gave you a level 1.2 rating?"
"Boss, you need to go to the far right window. This is for level 0.8 only."
Seeing the doubt in Luo Yi's eyes, he explained in a low voice, "The higher the physique level, the more nutrients are needed. At your level, eating the meat of certain special creatures can help you improve faster."
"How many points do I need?" Luo Yi looked at the points on his meal card; there were only 110 points.
One hundred points are the standard requirements for joining the company, and the other 10 points are a bonus earned in the morning.
Du Ziteng smiled and said, "Everyone gets 5 points, like an admission ticket. As long as you meet the physical requirements, you can eat whatever you want, just don't waste food."
Luo Yi then walked to the far right window.
As expected, this food is different from the level 0.8 food. It contains pure wild ginseng, wild purple ganoderma, and cordyceps from the West Sea region...
There are also tender and delicious fox-tailed rabbits, horned pigs, peacock chickens...
He read the text on the menu and naturally didn't recognize the cooked meat pieces.
"Are you done? Help yourself to whatever you want to eat. Get more if you need more."
Du Ziteng, who had found a good spot in the distance, waved and called out.
Luo Yi then picked up a spoon, filled his lunchbox, and took a bowl of soup. He walked over and said, "No one's serving food at the window. Aren't you worried someone might go to the higher-class window?"
"Who would dare? They simply couldn't digest it."
Du Ziteng shook his head and chuckled, adding, "The bureau doesn't restrict what you have to eat; it's just that your body can't handle it. The special window serves food prepared by nutrition experts, which is best for us!"
Luo Yi nodded, his impression of the National Security Bureau improving even further.
Picking up a piece of chicken with my chopsticks to taste it, I couldn't help but exclaim, "It tastes really good! Don't tell me the chefs here are all five-star chefs!"
"No, that's not it." Du Ziteng shook his head and added, "He's just a national-level master chef."
Pfft... Luo Yi choked.
A top-tier chef, that's someone who prepares for state banquets!
No wonder a captain can mobilize the armed police; this treatment shows how much the country values it.
Seeing his surprise, Du Ziteng took a sip of soup and said, "We are special talents, and also soldiers charging at the forefront. Our treatment is absolutely top-notch."
"But this kind of treatment can only be enjoyed for five or six years at most."
Luo Yi stopped chewing. "What do you mean?"
Du Ziteng lowered his voice; "Do you know what our casualty rate was over the past five years? 75%."
"You heard right, out of 100 people, only 25 survived."
"The rest died in the mission."
"Just last week, a sudden flu outbreak occurred in a seaside villa area. After investigation, it was found that the virus was brought by a pangolin turtle that came to the inland sea. So 11 teams were sent to capture it. In the end, six went and one came back."
"The five bodies were lost; they were dragged into the water. The one who survived was the captain, a level 0.9, with an incredible lung capacity. He swam all the way to shore and was rescued by fishermen. He is currently in the base's sanatorium. His legs have become cancerous and blackened, and he has already had them amputated."
Luo Yi's expression gradually became serious.
The pangolin turtle is one of the blood essences he needs, yet it's so difficult to obtain?
"Does that thing do that much damage?"
Du Ziteng chewed on a sea cucumber and shook his head. "Who knew? The captain of Team 11 said that the whole boat was capsized and they couldn't exert any strength in the water."
"I suspect they didn't even see the pangolin tortoise."
Luo Yi thought for a moment, then asked, "Are there still pangolin turtles at the base?"
"No, that thing is either in the deep sea or in the Amazon River, it's very hard to catch. It must have been an accident for it to swim here."
While eating, Luo Yi listened attentively and quickly finished the meat and vegetables on his plate. He then took another half portion from the plate.
He returned and asked, "What should we do then? Just leave the pangolin turtle alone?"
"Let's put it on temporary lockdown. The bureau needs to send people to investigate in detail, identify the source of the danger, develop targeted weapons, and then send people over."
Luo Yi nodded; that was a reasonable approach.
But while others need to investigate this issue in depth, he can easily find the answer.
"Wait, the pangolin turtle lives in the sea, how can we contain it?"
Du Ziteng shook his head: "It's afraid of a certain kind of powder. As long as we hang medicine packets around it, we can seal off a general area and temporarily prevent people from getting close to that sea."
That makes sense. Just block up the upstream and downstream areas, as long as no one gets hurt.
Luo Yi nodded. He hadn't expected that the pangolin turtles had swum out to the inland sea. It was time to prepare a capture plan.
Do you know what the highest physical fitness level is for the National Security Bureau? How many Level 1 personnel are there?
Since he was already a member of the National Special Bureau, Du Ziteng was quite forthcoming and replied, "Yes, there are some, but very few, and they are all in the top ten teams."
"It is said that twenty years ago, eight elders of the country joined forces to establish the National Special Bureau. Like developing nuclear bombs, they organized a large number of suicide squads to try to explore. Among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, only a few people evolved to the level 0.1 special physique. Later, with experience, they mobilized the country's top medical experts to cooperate, and higher levels appeared one after another. However, physiques above level 1 are still very rare."
"Currently, there are only 14 people with Level 1 physical fitness who are still alive nationwide."
"Level 2 is even rarer. They are all special forces soldiers who have been selected from thousands of candidates. It took more than ten years and a lot of money to train five people. The youngest is thirty-eight years old and is currently carrying out important missions."
"The highest level is 3. There are only two people who were invited by the founder twenty years ago to cultivate. They talked about refining essence into qi, which is equivalent to a 0.8 level special physique. After coming to the National Special Bureau, they discovered the rapid improvement method of cancer. So they underwent cancer transformation. A large number of cultivators went through more than ten years, but only these two people successfully evolved into a level 3 physique. The others all died."
It turns out that those who cultivate themselves and reach the stage of refining essence into qi also possess a special physique. Thinking about it, that makes sense; a special physique is simply something that surpasses that of ordinary people.
Luo Yi sighed inwardly. Cultivators, special forces, and suicide squads were thrown in one after another, and only a few with physiques above level 1 emerged. It was truly difficult.
Fortunately, I have the Omniscient System, which allows me to find the most suitable upgrade method for myself. I will definitely be able to reach level 3 physique within a year.
Du Ziteng continued, "Later, the National Special Bureau kept recruiting cultivators, but very few people could reach the level of refining essence into qi. Even if they did, they were already in their fifties or sixties. To be honest, it would be faster to get infected with a virus or cancer. Those two level 3 physique masters have excellent physiques and experience, so they can definitely continue to improve."
Luo Yi nodded. Whether it's cultivation or cancer, breaking through the limitations of human genes is extremely difficult.
Du Ziteng shook his head and sighed, "But there's nothing we can do about it. These special creatures not only evolve, but they also pose a huge threat to humanity. So, someone has to step up and fight against them."
"Tell me about those two level 3 physique experts, do you know where they are right now?"
Luo Yi shook his head, just about to ask the two why they didn't go and deal with the pangolin tortoise.
