20: The squad is taking shape!

"Ye Su, you're here."

Black Tiger smiled immediately upon seeing Ye Su.

Last night.

Ye Su's departure had left an indelible impression on Black Tiger.

He was very willing to interact with Ye Su.

Thus, his attitude toward Ye Su was very friendly.

However, business came first.

Those chests were found in the Grass-Blade Knife Mountain; he was extremely eager, but he couldn't open them until Ye Su arrived.

Now that Ye Su was here.

He couldn't hold back any longer.

"Black Tiger," Ye Su greeted him with a smile.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! I've been waiting forever." Black Tiger grabbed Ye Su and ran toward the Research Institute.

"What's going on?"

"Wasn't Grass-Blade Knife Mountain leveled? The Engineering Machinery Regiment finally found those light orbs," Black Tiger said.

"The main camp gave them to the Director, but he said we couldn't open them until you arrived."

Ye Su rubbed his hands together.

Huo huo huo.

A good thing.

As expected, once you're on good terms with Li Qing and the authorities, they think of you whenever something good comes up.

"Then hurry up, I can't wait either, hehe," Ye Su laughed.

Since they waited for him to open them, they naturally wouldn't just have him there as a witness.

What, just let me come and watch?

That wouldn't be right.

Naturally, there would be a share for him.

The two of them ran like the wind.

Only then did Ye Su notice that Black Tiger seemed to have achieved a Breakthrough of his limits.

There was a faint circulation of Qi and blood within his body.

But compared to himself, it was far, far inferior.

If measured in strands.

Black Tiger had one strand of Qi and blood circulating, while he had at least two hundred!

Aside from his high Physique stats.

The effect of the Tai Xuan Scripture was simply too astounding.

The two of them reached Li Qing like a gust of wind.

Li Qing laughed half-exasperatedly.

"What's the rush?"

"Hehe."

"Hehe."

Both Ye Su and Black Tiger rubbed their hands.

Opening blind boxes.

Boosting strength.

They really couldn't help themselves.

Li Qing waved his hand, and a staff member brought out a safe.

Upon opening it, three chests were revealed.

"Here, just three."

"Let's get this straight: if it's Martial Arts and you can use it, Ye Su, you get first pick. If it's Spirit Medicine, it belongs to you directly."

"If..."

Li Qing paused there.

"If it's a Divine Weapon or an Item, then we'll discuss it."

Ye Su nodded.

Divine Weapon!

Item!

Had the authorities already encountered these?

Ye Su knew that the drop rate for Divine Weapons was very low.

The issue was the Items.

Such things were Heaven-Defying objects.

Quiet Rain's ability to control water and people still left Ye Su with lingering fears.

Perhaps in terms of rarity.

Divine Weapons and Items were in the highest tier!

Black Tiger rubbed his hands and looked at Ye Su.

"Then I'm opening them, okay?"

"Yeah."

Ye Su nodded.

He was still a bit puzzled about something else.

These blind boxes had a quirk: if a Professional who hadn't changed classes yet opened one, the probability of obtaining a class change was very high.

Black Tiger had partners.

Either those partners had already obtained classes—after all, the authorities' power was quite formidable.

Or Li Qing truly wanted to return the favor to Ye Su.

Otherwise, if those bodyguard Professionals who hadn't changed classes were to open them, the probability of Ye Su getting anything would be minuscule.

Black Tiger reached out and opened the first chest.

It was Spirit Medicine!

A good start.

Black Tiger looked at the Spirit Medicine in his hand—it was a Spiritual Plant. Though he was eager for it, he ultimately gave it to Ye Su.

Ye Su didn't stand on ceremony.

He stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing on the spot.

Oh.

It was quite chewy; the fine leaf pulp slid down his throat, bringing waves of gentle warmth.

It seemed the medicinal power of this Spiritual Plant was very mild.

Li Qing reached out but then pulled back, hesitating to speak.

Wait, let me research it first.

Before he could even get a look at it, Ye Su had already chewed it up.

Well, a Professional's thirst for strength was beyond imagination.

Ye Su's action could also be seen as preventing any complications from delays.

"Does it taste good?"

Black Tiger asked, blinking.

Ye Su:

"Tastes okay (chew, chew, chew), a bit like mint (chew, chew, chew)..."

"Alright then."

Black Tiger's throat bobbed, and then he went to open the second treasure chest.

Hey.

Spirit Medicine again!

This time, what came out was a seed resembling a peanut kernel.

Black Tiger's mouth hung open as he looked at Ye Su, then at Li Qing.

Ye Su took the Spirit Medicine directly.

Then he handed it to Li Qing.

"Director, look at this. How about researching it?"

This was a reasonable and normal distribution of benefits.

It was also an extension of social etiquette.

Although it was agreed that any Spirit Medicine found would be Ye Su's.

With two consecutive chests containing Spirit Medicine, it wouldn't be appropriate to just grab them both.

The connection with Li Qing was for the long term.

There was no need to create a rift over a single Spirit Medicine.

Li Qing was stunned.

He gave Ye Su a deep look.

This guy... "Fine, then I'll take it to do some research."

He said as he took the Spirit Medicine.

It really did look like a seed; who knows, maybe it could actually be planted.

Black Tiger had no objections to this distribution.

His stance was on Li Qing's side.

Ye Su's behavior was very fair.

"One last one. I'm opening it, okay?"

Black Tiger looked at the final treasure chest and reached out to open it.

The next second.

A jade tablet appeared.

Furthermore, it was a red jade tablet.

A skill!

This time, a skill had been found.

"Good luck," Ye Su said.

"What skill?"

Black Tiger's face turned grim.

As the one opening the treasure chest, the skill information was transmitted to him upon opening.

"Heal, exclusive to the Support Class," Black Tiger said.

"The odds of a melee class like me opening a Support Class skill are incredibly low."

"I'm seriously done."

Support Class—Ye Su's eyes narrowed.

This was practically exclusive to Mo Xiaoyu.

Currently, in the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou, she seemed to be the only one who had an Awakening of a Support Class, the [Raincaller].

However, skills were extremely precious.

If the Research Institute gave this skill to Mo Xiaoyu, it was almost certain that she would truly join the authorities.

The Professionals' camps were currently divided into two types.

One was strictly official, like Black Tiger, where the authorities controlled everything from training resources to other matters.

The other was the Liaison Officer system Professionals; these Professionals were very free, and the liaison was more like a status and authority granted by the government.

'If...'

Ye Su thought to himself.

'Perhaps I should consider establishing a Professional squad. Support Class Practitioners are really useful, especially the healing types.'

Thinking of this.

Ye Su spoke.

"This..."

"This..."

The next second, Ye Su and Li Qing's voices rang out almost simultaneously.

Both were startled and looked at each other.

In a mysterious way, they sensed each other's intentions.

'We just finished a video conference this morning, and the higher-ups said we need to tap into the potential of joint operations among Professionals.'

Li Qing shouted in his heart.

'I proposed an Elite Squad model, where different Professionals form a team with no weaknesses.'

'This skill could bring the only Support Class Professional in the Suzhou and Hangzhou under our wing. This Ye Su... actually has the same idea as me.'

'This guy, he couldn't be a Transmigration, could he?'

'Global classes have just begun, and he's already considering future developments?'
