After breaking through Feng Qian's blockade, Qi Yuan originally wanted to restrain himself and lay low for a period of time. After the storm he caused was over, he would try to work on the project and advance to a level 3 researcher in one fell swoop.
Although Xiao Yu's fall was satisfying, it also made him lose the halo of a victim. If he continued to make a big fuss, it would only arouse the jealousy of others, and he might even be isolated.
After all, he was born as a refugee in the wilderness!
Qi Yuan did not forget his purpose in entering the Black Steel Shelter. If he only wanted to make a name for himself in the field of experimental research, then using the information stored in the Blazing Angel to advance quickly would not be a problem.
Just like some researchers who were still single, they did not need friends or family. They only needed a laboratory.
But he was different. His real purpose was to complete the check-in at the Black Steel Shelter and advance to a level 4.
This was not something he could do as a researcher.
The check-in locations were too special. Even a level 4 researcher did not have enough authority to set foot in them. So he had to think of other ways, such as using other people's authority to complete the check-in.
If it was an ordinary Level 2 Researcher, it might be an extremely difficult task to come into contact with those with special authority. However, for the current Qi Yuan, it was not difficult at all. He had already attracted a lot of attention, and as long as he displayed his valuable side, those people would naturally come knocking on his door.
Just like Le Huaizhou's invitation!
For Qi Yuan, Le Huaizhou's invitation was not only an invitation to join the project team, but also an invitation to join their circle.
Although some of Cao Yansheng's students were ordinary people in the shelter who slowly climbed up step by step, many of them had powerful backgrounds.
Take Le Huaizhou for example. His father was an M6 in the order department, and he was a proper member of the hierarchy.
And as a native of the Black Steel Shelter, Le Huaizhou knew many of the rich and powerful. Those check-in locations that he could not set foot in, there would definitely be people in this group who could easily get close to them.
Qi Yuan thought for a while and finally accepted Le Huaizhou's invitation.
Qi Yuan's participation obviously made Le Huaizhou breathe a sigh of relief. With the speed and quality of Qi Yuan's papers, he was definitely a strong candidate in the field of mechanical combat research.
This was the reward society gave him after he had shown enough value.
After Le Huaizhou left with his men, Qi Yuan walked into the study, took out a pen and paper, and sat down.
It had been three months since he entered the Black Steel Shelter, and the ten check-in points scattered throughout the Black Steel Shelter were still there. Not a single check-in had been completed.
Now that he had defeated Feng Qian and had the protection of Mo Sheng, Tan Qiu, and Cao Yansheng, it was time to try to complete the Sign In.
During this period of time, although Qi Yuan lived in seclusion, it wasn't like he didn't do anything other than conducting experiments and research.
After a few months of exploration, Qi Yuan had preliminarily confirmed the locations of the ten checkpoints.
The memory center's powerful memory allowed this information to be engraved in his mind. However, Qi Yuan was still used to writing down the key information when he was thinking.
After pondering for a moment, Qi Yuan began to write down the information of the known checkpoints on a piece of paper to prepare for the subsequent checkpoints.
Prison: Two Checkpoints.
Compared to the other checkpoints, the prison seemed to be the most dangerous, but it was actually the easiest place to complete the Sign In.
This was because the prison was a forbidden area for others, but for the laboratory, it was a sample bank. The living things, machines, and even corpses that were locked up in the prison were all in the category of experimental materials.
As long as they went through strict registration and application, and had a reasonable reason, even an assistant researcher could enter the prison to collect experimental samples.
The location of the prison was right below the building of the Hazard Management Department. The entire building had a total of 127 floors. The 50th floor and above was the work area of the Hazard Management Department, while the 50th floor below was the prison area.
There were all kinds of life forms locked up in the prison, including insects, corruptors, ability users, genetic warriors, mechanics, and even strange plants.
Of the entire level of the prison, the top 30 floors were relatively safe, and there weren't many restrictions on entering.
However, the bottom 20 floors were relatively more dangerous, and belonged to the special area of the shelter.
The two checkpoints in the prison were both below the 20th floor, and Qi Yuan couldn't confirm which floor they were on.
If it was a normal level 2 researcher, it might be very difficult to enter, but for the current Qi Yuan, it was just a little troublesome.
After the shelter's assessment, the Hazard Management Department sent someone to look for him, wanting to resolve the grudges left behind by Pei Zongyan. This could be considered as a show of goodwill.
Now that his status had obviously improved, the Hazard Management Department's goodwill towards him would definitely increase as well. As long as the request wasn't too excessive, they shouldn't refuse.
"The two checkpoints in the prison are no longer obstructed, and I can complete them at any time!"
Qi Yuan said to himself, then drew a "✓" behind the prison and continued writing on the paper.
The Orderly Department: One Checkpoint.
The Orderly Department was responsible for maintaining the internal order of the entire shelter. Although there weren't many strong people, it was still a department with real power within the Black Steel Shelter. Except for the laboratory, all the other personnel were under the supervision and management of the Orderly Department.
Because of the special status of the laboratory, the Orderly Department didn't really care about the people in the laboratory. It wasn't easy to enter the Orderly Department without checking in.
But that didn't mean there wasn't a way.
Le Huaizhou's father was an M6 in the Orderly Department. As long as he agreed, he should be able to quietly complete the checkpoint in the Orderly Department.
This was the most direct benefit of joining the circle!
Qi Yuan pondered for a moment, then drew a "✓" behind the Orderly Department, then wrote down the third location.
Warehouse 27: One Checkpoint.
This warehouse belonged to the Desolate Exploration Department, and other departments didn't have the right to touch it. Moreover, the Desolate Exploration Department wasn't weak, so it wouldn't be easy to get them to grant him access.
But Mo Sheng was the Deputy Head of the Desolate Exploration Department, so as long as he agreed, he should be able to enter and complete the checkpoint.
After drawing a "✓" behind warehouse 27, Qi Yuan continued to write down the next location.
The Army: One Checkpoint.
Because of Ke Shoulin, Qi Yuan didn't get too close to the Army's building. He only knew that the checkpoint was below the Army's building.
After Ke Long was defeated by him, he lost his chance to soar. Now, he had quietly advanced to rank 4 and entered the Army to train. He was far from Ke Shoulin's expectations.
Everything that Ke Shoulin had prepared for Ke Long was intercepted by him. As his father, Ke Shoulin must hate him to the core. If he couldn't get rid of Ke Shoulin's evil intentions, he wouldn't be able to get close to the checkpoint in the Army.
If it were anyone else, even a rank 4 researcher, they wouldn't be able to break through Ke Shoulin's blockade and enter the Army. But for the current Qi Yuan, it wasn't impossible.
The successful activation of Death Dance was the best opportunity!
Ke Shoulin was a big shot in the Army, but he definitely wasn't the only big shot in the Army. Ke Shoulin would treat him as an enemy for his son, but the other big shots would also help him for their descendants.
Mutated energy weapons were precious, but if Mo Sheng could prepare Death Dance for Fu Qingqing, then the big shots in the Army would also prepare mutated energy weapons for their outstanding descendants.
Now that he knew how to activate mutated energy weapons, there would definitely be people from the Army lining up to have their weapons activated.
From a certain point of view, the method to activate energy weapons was the best tool for him to get close to the Army.
Those who could activate energy weapons definitely belonged to the upper echelons of the Black Steel Shelter. As long as he made good use of the Blazing Angel, the Army would no longer be a tiger's den.
Qi Yuan pondered for a moment, then put a question mark behind the Army and continued to write down the next location.
257 White Elephant Street: A checkpoint.
From the outside, 257 White Elephant Street looked like an ordinary shop, but the owner of this shop was someone he knew — the Black Gold Merchant Guild!
This merchant guild, which was most likely a spy of the Xu family, had dared to set up their headquarters in the Black Steel Shelter so openly, so they definitely had something to back them up.
Although the Black Gold Merchant Guild had deliberately hidden their roots, if he could discover their true identity, then there must be someone in the Black Steel Shelter that had discovered their secret as well.
But for so many years, the Black Gold Merchant Guild had been firmly established here. Although the Iron Chariots' stronghold had been wiped out, their headquarters hadn't been affected at all.
This obviously wasn't normal.
Therefore, there must be someone in a higher position within the Black Steel Shelter providing protection for the Black Gold Merchant Guild. That was why the Black Gold Merchant Guild was safe and sound.
The Black Gold Merchant Guild hid too many secrets. Since the checkpoint was inside the Black Gold Merchant Guild, it definitely couldn't be easily approached.
He still had the effect of the Xu family's bloodline in his body. To the Black Gold Merchant Guild, he was an absolute enemy.
Therefore, unless there was some special opportunity, the difficulty of checking in at this checkpoint would be even higher than checking in at a combat division.
Qi Yuan shook his head and finally put a question mark behind 257 White Elephant Street.
77 White Elephant Street: A checkpoint.
Just like 257 White Elephant Stair, 77 White Elephant Stair also looked like an ordinary residence from the outside, but the fact that the check-in point appeared here meant that it was just a disguise. There must be something else going on inside 77 White Elephant Stair.
As for what was going on inside 77 White Elephant Street, Qi Yuan wasn't sure.
After experiencing so many things, Qi Yuan knew very well that the unknown was the greatest danger.
Before he figured out 77 White Elephant Street's background, rashly approaching the checkpoint would easily result in him being sent to his doorstep.
After pondering for a moment, Qi Yuan put a question mark behind 77 White Elephant Street again.
Board of Directors Hall: A checkpoint.
The Board of Directors was the center of power in the Black Steel Shelter. Most of the residents in the shelter had never had the chance to enter the Board of Directors Hall in their entire lives. The Talent Tree had refreshed the checkpoint here obviously to cause trouble.
Unless they were invited by the Board of Directors, even Chief Molin couldn't get close to the Board of Directors Hall.
If he rashly approached the Board of Directors Hall, he would probably be treated as a dangerous person and killed!
Therefore, this was another place where he needed to use his wits!
He could only slowly find an opportunity.
Qi Yuan put a question mark behind the Board of Directors Hall and then wrote down the last address.
Biological and Mechanical Research Laboratory: Two checkpoints.
Other than the prison, the laboratory was the only place with two checkpoints.
Compared to the checkpoint in the Board of Directors Hall, the Talent Tree's intention to cause trouble was even more obvious in choosing the location of these two checkpoints.
Because of these two checkpoints, one was on the second floor and the other was on the sixth floor.
Forget about the second floor of the laboratory, that was Chief Molin's place. Now, it was the laboratory of the Apocalyptic Mechanical Armament Project. Once he advanced to level 4, he should be able to go there and try to sign in.
But the sixth floor was Feng Qian's laboratory. With his tense relationship with Feng Qian, he definitely wouldn't allow him to take half a step into his laboratory.
Compared to the other checkpoints, this checkpoint was the most difficult of all.
Because this checkpoint had to directly face Feng Qian, and there was no way around him.
Being able to break through Feng Qian's blockade was one thing, but being able to break into Feng Qian's laboratory and sign in was another.
Unless there was a way to make Feng Qian admit defeat or completely get rid of this problem.
With Feng Qian's personality, the possibility of him admitting defeat was extremely low. So, to complete this checkpoint, he had to first get rid of a level 4 researcher.
Getting rid of a level 4 researcher in the laboratory was definitely an extremely crazy thing to do, especially with the complicated connections behind Feng Qian. Getting rid of him would definitely implicate the interests of many people. Even the Board of Directors might not dare to do so.
After pondering for a while, Qi Yuan finally put a question mark behind this checkpoint.
Qi Yuan looked at the ten checkpoints listed. Other than the two checkpoints in the prison, the one in the Public Order Department, and the checkpoint in warehouse 27, he put a "" on the checkpoint to try to sign in at any time. The other six checkpoints were all marked with a "?".
They weren't places that he could get close to in a short period of time.
But Qi Yuan wasn't in a hurry. Now that he had a firm foothold in the laboratory and had the Blazing Angel as his secret weapon, as long as he thought of a way, most of the checkpoints wouldn't be able to stop him.
Qi Yuan took a deep look at the paper filled with checkpoints. Then, a light blue flame flowed out of his fingertip, instantly igniting the paper and burning it to ashes.
His first stop was the prison.
The prison was a special place. If he rashly applied to enter the bottom twenty floors, he definitely wouldn't be allowed. He needed to find a suitable excuse.
Although Qi Yuan hadn't been to the bottom twenty floors of the prison, many people had been to the laboratory before. So, he had some basic understanding of the beings that were locked up there.
Thinking about the life forms that were often collected as experimental materials, Qi Yuan finally locked onto a suitable project from the Blazing Angel's information.
After making up his mind, Qi Yuan quickly started to write the project application.
Once the project review team approved his project application, he could openly enter the bottom twenty floors of the prison and sign in under the guise of collecting experimental materials!
