Elrond nodded with a dull expression.
Following that, Helen Harry brought him out.
Although he was now a psionic, there was no way to increase his current aura value.
But the system could increase his job level.
His job level was Level 5 now.
As long as he continued to increase his experience value, his job skills would level up.
In this way, the organization would value him more and stop him from taking part in dangerous tasks.
A loyal subordinate with a high IQ was much more valuable than ordinary cannon fodders.
Any superior would know this.
It was exactly this point that led Elrond to make this decision.
Elrond used two kinds of technical actions, ‘Assembling Machinery’ and ‘Strengthening Machinery’ to gain experience. As he honed his skills, he maintained a perfection rate of 90% and above when assembling basic machinery. Each time, he would gain a significant amount of experience points.
New Life Organization did not guard against Elrond. For an experimental subject whose memories had been erased and brainwashed, they were not worried that accidents such as psychological resistance would appear.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Elrond had already figured out the terrain and personnel deployment in Sideria No. 1 laboratory within this period.
He had to make adequate preparations to escape from this place in the future.
Sideria No. 1 laboratory was hidden underground, and there were a total of three floors. The secret laboratory was not a large-scale project, and it was hidden inside a forest in the wilderness. Replenishment of supplies was made through airdrops.
Under Helen Harry’s training, he mastered the skills ‘Intermediate Combat’ and ‘Precise Shooting’.
Those in the Mechanics Class required a tremendous amount of funding for their growth. That was one of the limitations of this class. Fortunately, New Life Organization provided materials for free.
By the time Elrond assembled 90% of the firearms in the Armory, he had also reached the maximum limit of experience points that he could obtain from the base.
500,000 worth of experience points!
He had accumulated that in the past six months!
Elrond used all his experience points to upgrade the level of his job.
In an instant, he became a Level 25 Mechanic.
He was able to design a set of battle humanoid mecha on his own.
He formed a prototype of this mecha in his mind.
With this mecha, surely he should be able to fight a few rounds with Helen?
At the same time, it should also increase his chances of escaping.
But for the time being, he did not have any extra materials to manufacture the armor.
Although the organization did not doubt him, Elrond could not spend so many valuable materials to build a mecha that solely belonged to him.
To put it bluntly, he was just an experimental subject.
To the organization, he was dispensable unless he could exhibit his unique value to them.
But in order to hide his true strength, Elrond deliberately pretended to be useless in his daily training.
It was his performance that made everyone believed that he was a failed experiment.
Even Helen Harry thought so too.
But for the past six months, Helen Harry trained Elrond on his melee skills every single day.
She was used to his existence.
Elrond mastered ‘Intermediate Combat’ and ‘Precise Shooting’.
That was already good enough for her, but the organization thought otherwise.
The humans modified by Sideria No. 1 reagent should not have such low-level talent.
So they deemed Elrond as a failed product.
Some people in the organization even asked Helen to hand Elrond over to Henry York.
When he heard the news, Henry York was elated.
He had been aiming for Elrond’s brain for a long time.
Now with the support of the organization, he was even more unbridled.
He would show a high and mighty expression in front of Helen Harry.
Every time he met her, he would ask Helen when she was going to hand Elrond over.
It was as if Elrond was his prey, and this experimental subject already belonged to him.
Due to Helen Harry’s interference, this matter dragged on endlessly.
…
Elrond was training as usual today.
At this moment, a message suddenly popped up on the system interface.
“Do you wish to accept the quest, ‘Destruction Plan’?”
Elrond’s eyes shone slightly. It was the first time that a system quest was triggered.
Based on Elrond’s current strength, he had no problems taking on quests.
So, he accepted it without any hesitation.
“Quest Notification: New Life Organization will be organizing a bloody and dark massacre. Now that you have grasped this clue, you can sell it to others and receive remuneration for it.
“The reward for completing the quest is 100,000 experience points or 10 aura points.”
10 aura points?
Elrond was overjoyed.
He would be rewarded with 10 aura points if he completed this mission successfully.
In the past six months, he trained every day and raised his aura value to 20 points.
But now, he could get 10 aura points just from completing a quest?
The quest notification also indicated a person’s information.
It was a little girl named Ellie, who was also a psionic.
Coincidentally, this girl was Helen Harry’s biological sister.
Because of her special ability, she had been imprisoned by New Life Organization.
She was a rare talent in controlling objects.
Her telekinesis was 10 times and above that of an ordinary psionic.
She could control the enemy’s attack and return it.
This was an extremely advantageous weapon on the battlefield.
New Life Organization knew about this and captured Ellie for research.
They also used her to control Helen Harry.
In Elrond’s memory from his previous life, New Life Organization dissected Ellie and integrated her power into the weapon.
The power was launched into every single battlefield.
With this avant-garde weapon, New Life Organization won one victory after another.
But Helen Harry, who had been on a mission, did not know the news.
She accidentally found out the truth from the enemy one day.
Helen Harry broke down completely. She had worked so hard for New Life Organization.
It was all because she wanted to protect her sister.
So Helen abandoned the mission and rushed back to the organization.
She publicly questioned the leader but was imprisoned instead.
Later on, with her efforts, she finally managed to break free.
From then on, she made her appearance as a Demon Queen who resounded throughout the entire Voyage.
She was constantly fighting New Life Organization.
But Helen Harry was not an evil person.
All she had done for the organization was to ensure the safety of her sister.
What wrong had she committed?
So even if she was his enemy, Elrond did not blame her.
He understood her difficulties. Elrond could tell that Helen did not have an evil heart. Even for an experimental subject like him, she treated him sincerely.
