Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 288 Appointment Letter

"So now you know why we sent you, right?"

Fang Yuan remained silent. He had originally thought that his sister underestimated his abilities, but now it seemed that the opposite was true. His sister trusted him too much, entrusting him with the management of such an important military factory, which made him feel flattered.

Despite Fang Yuan's usual boisterous manner, he was very clear about his own capabilities. The amplifier was a strategic weapon for the entire Mind Earth, and there was no room for error. For a moment, he even considered backing down.

"So... what exactly will I be doing?"

"There's no specific job. You just need to report what you see and hear to me on time every day."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Fang Lin wanted to plant a spy in the military factory so that he could confidently hand over the manufacturing rights of the factory to Bai Bing.

As for whether Bai Bing will develop any resistance because of this, that's none of her business. Anyway, she had only said that she would lend the military factory to Bai Bing to produce amplifiers, not that she would give the factory away to her.

As for whether having her younger brother monitor the other party would reveal her intentions, Fang Lin didn't care at all; in fact, that was her original purpose.

Fang Lin felt that the spies were not very useful and that it would be better to withdraw them all and change the covert sentries to overt ones, which would also be a way of confronting Bai Bing.

Only in this way can Bai Bing let down her guard against them and work for them with peace of mind.

So after thinking it over, Fang Lin felt that it was most suitable to send her younger brother, who had no experience in espionage.

After settling her younger brother in, Fang Lin decided to go see Bai Bing in person.

These days, Bai Bing has caused quite a stir in the Divine Realm. In just a few days, the higher-ups in the Divine Realm have all heard a little about this new Level 2 researcher.

However, due to the intense fighting at the front, Fang Lin has not had time to personally return to headquarters to meet this legendary figure.

Since Wayne isn't here today, the task of leading the way will have to be left to Joachim.

When the supervisor heard that the acting master was going to pay him a personal visit, he was extremely excited.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Qiao Yajie is the project manager; in the realm of the gods, that position is utterly meaningless, and even his team leader, Wayne, is no exception.

Fang Lin hosted the conference, and people of Qiao Yajie's level could only stand outside and watch the television broadcast. They basically didn't even get to see Fang Lin's face more than a few times.

But now, thanks to Lin Xuan, he can finally see the true face of this proxy.

"Old Bai, you're awesome! The Executor himself is coming to see you."

When Qiao Yajie told Bai Bing that Fang Lin was coming to see him, he was extremely excited, but Lin Xuan was not surprised at all, as if she had already guessed that the other party would come to see her.

I've tricked them this time, it's strange that they haven't come to confront me.

But he wasn't afraid at all. If the other party really got angry and caused him trouble over this, it would be the military, not the so-called proxy, that would come.

The fact that Fang Lin came to see them in person meant that the amplifier had worked on them, and Sanbu couldn't help but feel a little smug.

But it doesn't matter. Even if it really is the army, Lin Xuan doesn't care. It's as if they can beat him.

With his current combat power, he could easily wipe out an entire civilization if he fought to the death. If they dare to cause him trouble, he wouldn't mind showing them what the pinnacle of personal power looks like.

This meeting was conducted in secret, and Fang Lin, as the agent of the Divine Realm, was always accompanied by an army.

However, the meeting place this time is inside Faxuan City, and bringing the army in in a grand manner would only expose the target.

During wartime, spies from both sides are very active, and a single mistake could result in being beheaded by the enemy, so precautions must be taken.

Before coming, Qiao Yajie insisted on giving Lin Xuan a crash course in etiquette, fearing that the girl might misbehave in front of Fang Lin, and if she were blamed, he would suffer the consequences as well.

Ultimately, these rituals were never used.

There's no other reason than that Fang Lin communicates with them via holographic projection through a wall.

"This woman is completely pointless. She came to see me in person, but she didn't even show her face."

Lin Xuan looked at the staff member who was adjusting the equipment with a speechless expression.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yajie, who was standing next to him, turned pale with fright.

"Brother Bai, no... Father Bai, please don't speak so recklessly. If anyone hears this, our entire family will be wiped out."

Lin Xuan shrugged.

"It doesn't matter. I don't have any relatives, so what does it have to do with me?"

"What about me? You need to think about me!"

"Then you can recognize her as your godmother, and that way she won't dare to exterminate your entire family."

Qiao Yajie: ? ? ?

"Does anyone speak?"

Soon, the staff had set up the equipment, and Fang Lin's holographic projection appeared in the room.

This woman had a great figure, wearing a black trench coat with a cinched waist, exuding the aura of a capable and powerful woman.

However, the holographic projection blurred her facial features, probably to prevent Lin Xuan and the others from recognizing her. She looked much the same as she did on TV, so Qiao Yajie's wish to see her face was dashed.

"It's an honor to meet you, but I've already heard so much about you."

Fang Lin's holographic projection greeted Lin Xuan and the other person. Her gentle appearance almost reminded Lin Xuan of the scene when she first met Zhi Zi.

He now instinctively develops PTSD from this AI-like creature. Anyone who had been trapped in that place by Sophon for decades probably wouldn't want to see her again.

"Your Excellency is so busy with affairs of state, how come you have time to see a nobody like me today?"

Lin Xuan didn't bother with pleasantries with this woman and went straight to the point.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make. Before knowing the woman's true intentions, Lin Xuan should speak as little as possible to avoid giving her any leverage.

Fang Lin smiled.

"It's nothing much. The Divine Realm has reached a decision regarding your appointment. Since Team Leader Wayne is unavailable today, I'm conveying the decision on his behalf. I also wanted to see you."

"Oh?"

Lin Xuan smiled slightly. He had wondered why the team leader had suddenly taken leave. It turned out that someone needed him because he wasn't there.

However, the two of them both kept this to themselves.

After all, everyone knows that the most important thing about this meeting is not how Fang Lin got here, but what Fang Lin is here to do.

"Then what are we waiting for? Issue the decree!"

Fang Lin tapped her finger in the air, and a letter of appointment was transmitted to Lin Xuan via the internet.

"In view of Bai Bing's outstanding contributions to scientific research in the field of research, Group 5, Level 2 Researcher of the Divine Realm Research Department, the committee has decided to appoint Bai Bing as the captain of the 13th Task Force of the Rapid Reaction Force."

"Wha...what?"

Upon hearing the appointment results, Qiao Yajie felt as if her cerebellum had shrunk for a moment.

He must have heard right, Fang Lin promoted Bai Bing directly out of the research department!

What kind of promotion is this?!

Although Bai Bing had been clamoring for the higher-ups in the Divine Realm to transfer him to the rapid response force, how come they actually did it!

He desperately needs a phrase more severe than "the collapse of social order" to describe the current situation.

“Acting Lord… this is a bit inappropriate, isn’t it? Bai Bing is, after all, a researcher in the research department. He can only play his greatest role by working in the field of scientific research. Is it a bit wrong to send him to the battlefield?”

Qiao Yajie's words were already quite tactful, but Fang Lin didn't seem to intend to answer his question. Instead, she turned her gaze to Bai Bing herself.

She wanted to see how the other party would react upon hearing the appointment result.

But this was going to disappoint Fang Lin. After hearing the result, Lin Xuan's expression did not change much. He seemed to have expected this result and simply nodded.

"Okay, when should I report for duty?"

"tomorrow."

Fang Lin tried her best to see a trace of emotion in the other person's eyes, but she saw nothing. Seeing Lin Xuan turn to leave, she finally couldn't help herself.

"Wait...aren't you going to ask me why I gave you this appointment?"

"I do not care."

Lin Xuan left without looking back, leaving Qiao Yajie standing there dumbfounded.

"Um... Lord Agent, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Fang Lin and Lin Xuan's first meeting ended in this strange atmosphere. Fang Lin wanted to use this meeting to find out Lin Xuan's background, but the other party was too cautious and did not give her any chance to find a flaw.

But this only piqued her interest in the person even more.

"Has the investigation been thoroughly investigated?"

After disconnecting the holographic image, Fang Lin looked at Lieutenant Cui, who had been waiting for a long time. The day before she came to see him, Fang Lin had already sent people to investigate all of Bai Bing's backgrounds, and now the results were in.

"Acting Agent, all the information you requested is here. I've checked, and Bai Bing's background is much cleaner than we imagined. His biographical information and life trajectory are basically without any problems."

Fang Lin opened the information sent by the other party and began to read it line by line. The more she read, the more her eyebrows furrowed.

"The biggest problem is that there are no problems."

Judging from the information available, Bai Bing's life in the first few decades was quite unremarkable. Apart from getting into a good university and developing a few patents, which allowed him to successfully join the ranks of the youngest level-two researchers, there was almost nothing extraordinary about him.

But the more this is the case, the bigger the secret Bai Bing has!

Unfortunately, time did not allow her to pay too much attention to Bai Bing's affairs. Before Fang Lin could figure out the key points, news of another defeat came from the front lines.

"The 167th Fleet encountered an enemy flanking force in the Koswell region. After engaging in combat, it managed to withdraw at the cost of losing its flagship."

"The fleet is on its way back. The high command of the Divine Realm military has requested that you, Agent, convene a meeting immediately to discuss this matter."

Upon receiving the devastating news, Fang Lin's train of thought was completely disrupted, and she stopped dwelling on the matter.

"Cui Xun, I'm going to the front lines in the next few days. Keep an eye on Bai Bing for me. Report to me immediately if anything happens to him."

Lieutenant Cui nodded slightly.

"No problem, sir."

Just as Fang Lin was about to leave, she seemed to remember something and turned to look at Cui Xun.

"Oh, right, about my brother..."

"I will make the arrangements."

……

After obtaining the computing power amplifier, the Divine Realm immediately reverse engineered the device in an attempt to reconstruct its manufacturing process.

This matter even alarmed Wayne, who was on mandatory leave, and he personally came to participate in the reverse engineering.

However, when the research department finally managed to disassemble the device, they were all dumbfounded.

Completely different from what they had expected, the internal structure of the device was not complicated at all; on the contrary, it was far too simple.

Once the outer casing is removed, the entire device contains only a receiver and a transmitter, nothing else.

This situation completely baffled all the researchers in the Divine Realm. They racked their brains but couldn't figure out the principle behind how this thing amplified computing power.

Logically speaking, such a simple structure, let alone amplifying signals, would be considered too lossy even for transmitting computing power information.

So how exactly does this thing work?

Surely someone isn't constantly injecting computing power into it from a distance?

If that's really the case, it's utterly ridiculous, just like some undergraduate graduation projects—a self-deceptive attempt to cover up the truth.

“I remember when I graduated from university, my design assignment was to make a locator that could receive text messages in the cloud wherever it was,” Wayne said, holding the disassembled structure in his hand.

"And then?" Qiao Yajie looked at her team leader.

"To get away with it, I had my roommate send a message directly to the cloud using his phone during the demonstration, simulating the function of a locator."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yajie was momentarily speechless. After a long while, she slowly uttered two words.

"Brilliant!"

"So you think this thing might work in a similar way?"

Wainte remained noncommittal.

"I'm just saying it's possible, but it doesn't make logical sense. If that were the case, Bai Bing would need the computing power of an entire Earth to achieve that effect. Do you think that's possible?"

Qiao Yajie nodded in agreement.

"That's true. I'd rather believe I was Qin Shi Huang than believe that."

Wainte smiled and put the disassembled parts into the 3D printer.

"Make a replica once and see the effect."

Soon, the 3D printer copied all the parts, and then Weente assembled them one by one in order.

"Very good, unsurprisingly, it's completely useless!"

Wayne threw his creation directly into the trash can. Although he knew this would be the outcome, he was still a little disappointed.

"This kid, it's really infuriating to compare yourself to others."
