Ophilia then asked curiously, "What did Diona want with you?"
Lin Feng flipped through the documents, ignoring her.
Ophilia was displeased, pouting and waving her hand in front of Lin Feng's eyes.
"Hey, hey! You give me the information and then ignore me? What did she want with you?"
Got the free information and then turned away?
How could he be such a scumbag, taking what he wanted and then leaving?
Lin Feng looked speechlessly at the small hand blocking his view.
"I don't know..."
"You don't know?!" Ophilia looked at him with disbelief.
"I really don't know. She left me her contact information and said she wanted to chat after the selection."
Lin Feng shrugged and explained.
He wasn't afraid of Ophilia leaking the secret.
The curse he had previously cast was very extensive, preventing her from telling anyone about what happened between him and her.
Hearing this, Ophilia lost interest. She pouted and went back to fussing with her own complicated equipment.
The name Diona also sounded familiar to Lin Feng, but he couldn't recall it for the moment.
The documents stated that Diona had joined the Black Robes about thirty years ago.
Thirty years?
Lin Feng recalled the appearance he had seen earlier and stroked his chin.
That appearance was at most seventeen or eighteen years old, and she didn't look that old at all.
Could she be from a long-lived race?
Never mind him, let's keep reading.
Task completion rate, eighty percent.
Well, it was no match for his clone, Shanhai.
However, the ability listed next caught Lin Feng's interest.
The ability to do as one pleased in the digital world.
Looking at the detailed annotations, Lin Feng was reminded of someone.
That was Victor from the Justice League.
That kid was originally a football player. Due to an accident, he was bombed by a Mother Box and then modified by his father into a half-human, half-mechanical being.
Judging by Diona's abilities, she was practically a copy of Victor.
However, she wasn't half-human, half-mechanical.
What was her purpose in seeking him out?
Lin Feng pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
Then he decided not to think about it anymore.
"By the way, do you want to go exchange for some information and items later?" Ophilia, having finished organizing her gear, spoke up again.
"No, you go see what information is available! I won't be going!"
Ophilia stood up and licked her lips.
"You don't want any items either?"
"No!"
"Really? Didn't you just ask about tangible rewards?"
"What are you talking about? What do you want?" Lin Feng moved his gaze suspiciously from the documents and saw Ophilia's eager expression.
"Heh heh, if you don't want it, can you give me your exchange quota?" Ophilia revealed her true intentions.
Lin Feng pursed his lips, thinking it was no big deal.
"Here, go exchange for it yourself." Lin Feng took off his identity badge and tossed it to Ophilia.
He had passed these stages as if playing a game, so he didn't need any items.
If Ophilia wanted these small favors, she could have them.
After all, she would have to work for him in the future. Lin Feng didn't like using coercion; he preferred more sincerity and fewer tricks between people.
Of course, he had his fair share of tricks too!
"Thanks, big shot!"
Taking the badge, Ophilia scurried away gleefully, as if afraid Lin Feng would change his mind.
Lin Feng watched her disappearing back and smiled.
Ophilia was a bit noisy, but it wouldn't be boring to team up with someone like her.
Lin Feng was now alone in the room.
After resting for a while, Lin Feng began to call out to Shanhai in his mind.
"Shanhai, how's the Death Realm? Have you figured it out?"
For the second stage, Lin Feng planned to have Shanhai participate, and he would return for the third stage.
"I've caught what was in the pathways, but..."
Shanhai sent over an image of a glowing red orb.
"Here, it's turned into this mess. I don't dare to use any violent methods for fear of damaging it."
"However, after this thing left the pathways, the red pathways are gradually withering. The souls in the Death Realm are also gradually regaining their sanity!"
Lin Feng observed the image and said thoughtfully, "So, this red orb is the culprit?"
Shanhai replied, "That's right, but not entirely accurate."
"When it first came out, it wasn't a red orb, but a blood-red living entity, somewhat animal-shaped."
"But before I could even ask a couple of questions, it turned into a red ball and wouldn't respond to any calls."
"If I didn't know what would happen if it were destroyed, I'd definitely poke a hole in it!"
Lin Feng could hear the gritted teeth in Shanhai's words.
It seemed he couldn't do anything about the red orb.
"Let's not talk about that. How are things on your end,本体 (main body)?"
"My end?"
"My end, the first stage has been successfully passed..."
"Never mind, let's sync our memories." Lin Feng found himself getting lazier, not wanting to say more. He directly synced both of their memories.
Memory synchronization was instantaneous.
Soon, Shanhai's actions in the Death Realm over the past two days appeared in Lin Feng's mind.
Information about the red orb also appeared in his memory.
This red orb seemed quite troublesome.
The difficulty wasn't that Lin Feng lacked the power to destroy it.
It was that he didn't know what would happen after destroying it, and Lin Feng still wanted to know what this thing actually was.
"Good heavens, you're truly brave, beating up Aaron!"
Memory synchronization was a two-way street.
On the other side, Lin Feng's actions in the first stage appeared in Shanhai's memory.
Lin Feng waved his hand proudly.
"See? It was quite a satisfying fight."
Lin Feng didn't particularly enjoy fighting. He hadn't even gotten serious when he fought Aaron.
However, moving his body did bring him physical and mental pleasure.
"The only regret is that my speed-run plan failed."
"How about it, you take on the second stage, and I'll rest."
"It seems to be about completing a mission. Ophilia will bring back the intel later," Lin Feng said casually.
If Shanhai still had some research to do on the red orb, he wouldn't mind participating in the second stage.
After all, it wasn't difficult.
Shanhai readily agreed to the suggestion.
He was also quite frustrated by his inability to handle this little sphere.
It was better to let the main body try, and he could go back and relax with the second stage.
The main body and clone, in perfect sync.
The body of Lin Feng, sitting on the sofa, suddenly disappeared.
In less than a billionth of a second, Shanhai appeared in his previous position.
No one would have noticed that they had switched places.
Oh, except for one person, and that was Ophilia.
