Chapter 1045: The Plan
Lin Shen felt like killing someone but didn't show any unusual expression on his face. Instead, he asked with a smile, "To need one Medicine Person per Ginseng Fruit tree, if a large production is desired, where can so many Medicine Persons be found?"
"They have always wanted to use Deformed Species as material, but unfortunately, the results weren't good, so there are very few successful experimental Ginseng Fruit trees and the Ginseng Fruits produced are scarce. Only a part of the competition champions can possibly get Ginseng Fruit rewards; there are almost no other channels," Qin Ziyun said. She seemed to think of something and looked at Lin Shen, "If I remember correctly, you came from the toughest Divine Being competition, right? That competition didn't offer Ginseng Fruit rewards, did it?"
"Yes, it didn't. What effects does the Ginseng Fruit have?" Lin Shen followed Qin Ziyun as they moved forward, not giving Wei Wufu another glance.
"It's hard to say, the current Ginseng Fruits are still in the experimental stage; the effects of the finished products are not very stable. Some can enhance Attributes, some can strengthen traits, and some can even directly help Divine Beings congeal their Divine Soul, or even Divine Essence..." Qin Ziyun said casually.
Qin Ziyun took Lin Shen through the patrol route, telling him that in the future at specified times, he must take this route and inspect carefully; any negligence could lead to punishment.
"You don't have to worry too much. A patrol team consists of four Guards, and the Guards in your group are veterans who have worked in the Azure Sky Realm for many years. By following them, you won't make any mistakes. Just focus on learning, and soon you will be up to speed," Qin Ziyun comforted Lin Shen with a few more words.
In a room, Liu Siming observed Lin Shen's every move through the monitor, even his gaze was crystal clear.
Especially when Lin Shen saw Di Esi and Wei Wufu, Liu Siming watched him even more intently without blinking.
Fortunately, Lin Shen did not show any abnormalities. Watching Lin Shen return to the Security Department, Liu Siming stood up from his chair, "Old Wu is really overly concerned. How could this kid, who can deliver such a ruthless blow, be related to the people from the Ancient Realm."
Liu Siming was still thinking when his communicator rang—Wu Qing was calling.
"Old Wu really wants to kill that kid," Liu Siming always believed that Wu Qing was targeting Lin Shen as a form of retaliation.
Sure enough, after the communication was connected, Wu Qing inquired about Lin Shen's situation.
Liu Siming reported on Lin Shen's performance here in brief and didn't say much more.
Wu Qing, after listening, did not make any statement, but just instructed Liu Siming to find someone to monitor Lin Shen 24 hours a day.
Although Liu Siming didn't agree, Wu Qing was after all the Acting Great Divine Official and they had a good relationship. It wasn't a big deal, so naturally, there was no need to snub Wu Qing over such a trivial matter.
After hanging up the communicator, Liu Siming called over a five-star Divine Official, Shi Yuqing, and assigned him the task of monitoring Lin Shen.
Although Shi Yuqing was only a five-star Divine Official and his strength was just barely at the Middle level, he was meticulous and careful, making him most suitable for this kind of responsibility.
Having made the arrangements, Liu Siming stopped paying attention to Lin Shen's matters.
A nine-star Divine Official, he was usually very busy with official duties, without the time or mood to pay attention to a minor Divine Official every day.
It wasn't until the workday ended and he teleported back to Crystal Charm Star that Lin Shen's expression instantly darkened.
He didn't know how long Old Wei could hold on, so he had to think of a way to rescue him quickly.
But with his current strength, even if he could forcibly break into the laboratory and save Old Wei, it would be impossible to get him out of the Azure Sky Realm.
Not to mention the people in charge of the experiment, just in the Security Department alone, there were many Upper Divine Beings.
These Upper Divine Beings were different from ordinary Upper Gods; they were all individuals who had won first place in some competition. None of them were to be underestimated.
Lin Shen didn't believe that with his own strength, he could rescue Old Wei and Di Esi from their predicament.
"What should I do?" Lin Shen sat motionless, silent for a long while, repeatedly pondering over various possibilities.
The Star God Palace had an independent system and structure; external forces simply had no way to influence the Star God Palace.
Even if he sought to use the influence of the Deng Family, it would be impossible for them to help him demand people from the Star God Palace.
As the saying goes, ordinary folk do not contend with officials; after all, the major family clans are but commoners, whereas the Star God Palace is the authority.
Despite the major family clans not taking Star Divine Officials seriously, no one truly dares to disregard them outright.
Of course, the Celestial Court has strict systems and laws. Star Divine Officials cannot willfully oppress common Divine Beings, and they too must adhere to the laws. In this, the major family clans cannot be said to fear them.
Lin Shen thought long and hard. To rescue Wei and Di Esi, it seemed there was only one feasible path—attempting to summon the Jade Emperor.
However, Lin Shen did not know whether he himself could summon the Jade Emperor, nor did he know if the Jade Emperor, once summoned, would be willing to assist him.
After all, this was the Celestial Court, the very Star God Palace; would the Jade Emperor confront his own people for a stranger like him?
Lin Shen did not know, but he now had no other choice; he had to take a gamble, otherwise, Wei would lose his life.
However, before taking action, Lin Shen needed to first understand the situation within the Azure Sky Realm and choose an appropriate moment to make his move.
"Xiao Yu, add a few words at the end of the book," Lin Shen rose and said to Xiao Yu, who was copying a book.
"What words?" Xiao Yu looked up at Lin Shen, asking in surprise.
"The Celestial Court is like a prison, do not enter, must not enter," Lin Shen had to remind those below not to come up again.
Xiao Yu nodded, and added these words to the end of the book she was copying.
Lin Shen felt that this was not conspicuous enough, so he himself wrote these words in large characters on the last page of the book.
"I hope they can find out soon and stop rushing into the Celestial Court," Lin Shen took the book to the Commerce Star trading area and put it up for sale.
Every other day, early in the morning, Lin Shen arrived at the Azure Sky Realm to clock in for work. At the designated time, he patrolled the Azure Sky Realm with the other three members of the patrol team.
Lin Shen took a rough look and estimated that there were at least more than twenty patrol teams, a figure deduced from the number of storage lockers.
Different teams had different patrol time slots and routes, which also changed periodically.
As a lower Divine Being like him, he was the lowest in the patrol team's hierarchy.
Most Guards were middle Divine Beings, and the leaders of each team were generally Upper Divine Beings.
Lin Shen calculated that if he chose a poor time slot for his action, he would at least face the siege and interception of dozens of middle Divine Beings and more than a dozen Upper Divine Beings.
Lin Shen did not know whether the Jade Emperor could make a difference, nor did he know the extent of the effect if possible; he had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
