I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 320 - A Shocking Discovery

Chapter 320 A Shocking Discovery

“Mm.”

Ye Lingchen gave a faint response and displayed indifference in his exterior. Since he was the boss, it was surely the right move to feign a reserved character.

“Boss, why did you come back alone, just...”

“Hm?” Ye Lingchen’s eyes narrowed and he swept his gaze coldly across the subordinate. “Will it ever be your turn to mind my affairs?”

The two men trembled immediately and their faces paled.

After a pause, Ye Lingchen continued, “I sent the other two to carry out their tasks. Now stand on guard!”

He strode in after finishing his sentence.

Ye Lingchen made the right bet. Their boss was usually very intimidating and many people did not dare to look at him.

After all, he was a martial artist who had the power of coercion. It was only natural that he was feared.

The warehouse was huge and the interior layout was rather. It looked like a temporary base and it was hard to determine how long they stayed there. There were plenty of boxes in the hall.

“Boss!”

“Boss!”

Everyone else greeted him respectfully after seeing Ye Lingchen walk in.

Ye Lingchen nodded nonchalantly. Plenty of men were carrying boxes to and fro while he was walking. Ye Lingchen could not say for sure what they were doing, and it went without saying that he did not dare to ask them about it.

There were three different warehouses—the one in the middle was a relatively empty hall with a table placed in the center. It was probably used for meetings. Another portion of the warehouse was where various equipment and odd-looking boxes were displayed. It was from there that those subordinates carried those boxes out.

The third warehouse was quite special, resembling the layout of a library. There were bookshelves inside as well as various documents scattered randomly across a table.

Ye Lingchen raised his eyebrows slightly. He picked up a file, but his eyes then lit up in an instant.

It was a map, one that detailed University town and the surrounding areas. It was so large that it encompassed the surrounding mountains, yet it was also so detailed that the classrooms and teachers’ offices of each school were recorded exhaustively. Even the intricacies of each pathway were sketched out with precision.

Moreover, Ye Lingchen noticed that Earth’s Gate circled in red some places on the map, such as the residences of some professors, special laboratories, and student dormitories. Xu Wanqing’s location was also marked!

No wonder Xu Wanqing was captured—it turned out to a part of their plan.

Earth’s Gate was incredibly savage. University town was undoubtedly their top priority. Within the area were many future talents as well as famous professors and teachers. Moreover, technology for scientific research was aplenty there, and Earth’s Gate was doing something insane!

In that case, could some of the equipment in the second warehouse be scientific technology stolen from those very places?

Ye Lingchen’s face sank slightly. Those things there were nothing more than what he managed to see. If that was true, then would Earth’s Gate have set up bases in other places? What were they actually collecting, and for what purpose are they doing so?

Ye Lingchen placed down this map and looked to the other end. It also looked like a map and was rather similar to the earlier one, differing only in that the contents were marked more cautiously. It was the base for the Warrior’s Department, but any place that was a threat to Earth’s Gate was marked. There were even records of some people’s names.

Ye Lingchen visited the Warrior’s Department before. Lin Ao told him once that an inconspicuous place would be selected for their bases. It was either somewhere desolate in the outskirts or hidden in the city, one that would not draw attention to them. However, Earth’s Gate knew so many of their locations!

As the saying went, ‘know the enemy and know oneself; only then shall one be ever-victorious’. The matter at hand was incredibly serious.

Ye Lingchen placed all of that down and went to the bookshelf on one side. None of the books there were ordinary and there were not too many books either. However, they were all sealed tightly in a similar style of file.

He selected one file at random the header was surprisingly two words ‘Medical Knowledge’.

He opened the envelope and saw various sets of information within, all of which were PhD medical papers from various universities. In addition, they were all important papers that were usually encrypted and were considered a treasure. Aside from that, there were also some research materials and topics from various hospitals.

“Self-study Western medicine thesis, Western medicine proficiency +1.”

“Self-study Western medicine thesis, Western medicine proficiency +1.”

...

“Self-study TCM formula, TCM proficiency +1.”

“Self-study TCM formula, TCM proficiency +1.”

...

What shocked Ye Lingchen most was that his Western medicine proficiency reached 100% from 80% after going through the entire paper. His Chinese medicine proficiency also reached 90%!

The information was absolutely confidential!

It was a known fact that Ye Lingchen scoured for whatever material that he could find—whether through offline or online means—in order to improve his proficiency to the extreme. However, those materials continued to raise his proficiency, thereby showing how precious they were!

Although many of the papers were still in the half-researched state, it did not matter to Ye Lingchen at all. Anything feasible could also be used as a theory to increase his proficiency.

With 100% proficiency in Western medicine, Ye Lingchen was surely capable of standing on top of the world.

Ye Lingchen took a deep breath. Those were all China’s wealth and riches. How could they have fallen into the hands of others?

He picked up another file that was labeled biology. It increased Ye Lingchen’s biological proficiency from 50% to 65%.

Subsequently, both physics and chemistry were increased from 50% to 60%. That aside, there were also significant quantities of technological materials. Those were the top priority, and they allowed Ye Lingchen’s technological proficiency to reached 55%. Finally, there was even The Art of War.

Those guys were rats! It was shameful to see all the things that they snatched!

“Boss!”

At that moment, an old man came in a hurry and looked respectfully, “Everything’s almost ready. You can leave at any time!”

The old man played a role similar to that of a housekeeper. He did not seem to uneasy when he saw Ye Lingchen.

Leave?

Ye Lingchen’s heart became slightly cold. His expression was quiet and he said indifferently, “Oh? Bring me to take a look.”

The old man led the way at once and the two walked to the backyard.

It was a huge open space there. Cars were aplenty, mainly vans, and the subordinates were loading those boxes into the car.

Ye Lingchen casually stopped one of the henchmen and opened the box. Inside were bottles and bottles of bright red blood.

As for the equipment, some were brand new and some were old, but whatever their condition, they were certainly related to science and technology.

“Boss, the plan with Xu Wanqing failed. Sooner or later there will be trouble. I think it’s better to leave tonight,” the old man proposed.

Ye Lingchen did not speak but pondered for a moment instead. “Get everyone into the hall, I have something to announce.”

The hall was soon filled with people. A rough observation of the scene revealed that there were hundreds of people, all of whom had an incredibly good physiques. Most of them have practiced martial arts, and their skills were at least on par with Li Hu. There were even plenty of masters there.

The situation was a bit difficult to handle...
