The chairman's voice wasn't loud, but it immediately silenced the meeting room. Lin Yao could feel everyone's breathing become very faint, a sign of their respect. "Xiao Lin, you will be assigned a dedicated adjutant. Because your work is special, your adjutant will also have the responsibility of communication and information relay. You are not allowed to leave your adjutant to act on your own after work. If you do take action, you must inform them of your whereabouts."
Lin Yao exclaimed that he lacked experience. He hadn't expected that the appointment of an adjutant would make his whereabouts completely transparent. He thought that this was probably the Chairman and the military's ultimate goal: to give him a military identity and a sense of responsibility, and to have an adjutant monitor his behavior and whereabouts. If he were to do something bad in the future, his reputation would be ruined.
It's impossible for someone with extraordinary strength to be without any constraints. Lin Yao understood this and nodded in agreement.

"Lin Yao, from now on you will be under the command of our General Staff. I will arrange for an adjutant to come over immediately. Just tell me what kind of adjutant you want. Even if you want a pretty female soldier as adjutant, as Old Man Xia said, that's fine too."
General Qi Rongzhen, Chief of the General Staff of the General Staff, immediately stepped forward to express his opinion and took the opportunity to tease General Xia, who had a long face.
"No! We can't have a woman!" General Xia suddenly regained his energy, his signature loud voice echoing throughout the conference room. "General Qi, I need to vet the adjutant first."
"I think it would be better for Lin Yao to go to the General Logistics Department of Health. We already have a military procurement relationship with Minhong Pharmaceutical, and General Lin's arrival here can play a positive role."
The old general from the General Logistics Department immediately objected, leaning over and pulling on General Xia's arm, "We'll have a male adjutant, an old one."
Before General Xia could react, veteran generals from the General Logistics Department, the General Armaments Department, and other institutions began recruiting people. Even the major military regions started recruiting. The high-ranking military officials in charge of naval affairs used the results of the North Sea Fleet's expedition as a basis to recruit Lin Yao to the navy, allowing him to choose which fleet to join. In an instant, the conference room turned into a bustling marketplace again.
The disciplined soldiers showed no mercy when it came to rescuing people, charging forward bravely – a tradition of the military. Even with the Chairman of the Central Military Commission present, they dared to compete fiercely for the prisoners. Lin Yao was dumbfounded, but it also made General Xia, who had been in a bad mood, burst into laughter again.
"alright,"
The chairman's voice was not loud, and should have been drowned out in the noisy conference room, but it had the effect of calming the storm. The noise disappeared instantly, and the transition from extreme noise to extreme silence was quite rapid. Lin Yao admired the incredible hearing of these old generals, most of whom had not practiced internal martial arts.
"We'll decide on this later. General Lin Yao has urgent business to attend to right now. People infected with the virus across the country are waiting for Min Hong's effective drug. Don't delay his work."
The address of "General" and the decision instantly made the generals realize Lin Yao's other identity—a super pharmacist who cultivated Taoism. They immediately made way for Lin Yao, leading directly to the conference room door, as clean and efficient as a military parade.
Lin Yao agreed to the requests of all the high-ranking military officials before taking his leave. General Xia stayed behind, and Lin Yao returned to the "City Forest" alone. He estimated that the medicinal herbs gathered from the surrounding area had arrived by now, and it was time to refine the medicine. He also wanted to verify as soon as possible the extent to which the electric light medicine refining after absorbing lightning would be effective.
“Yaoyao, some of them are whispering that they finally added a bridle for you, so everyone can feel at ease.”
Xiaocao's voice rang out, clearly indicating that she had continued eavesdropping on the private conversations in the military headquarters conference room.
"Oh, that's normal." Lin Yao replied, nodding to the lieutenant who opened the car door for him, then stepped into the vehicle. "Anyway, we won't do anything bad, let them do what they want, there's nothing we can do about it."
...
"Yaoyao, there's something else I need to tell you."
Lin Yao, who was about to start refining medicine, was stopped by Xiao Cao's sudden words. "What's wrong?"
"This time, while I was on the ship exploring the seabed, I suddenly had a familiar feeling. I had this feeling several times when I was searching for submarines, but I could never find a clue."
Xiao Cao spoke slowly and deliberately, lost in her memories, "Just now, when you said to let them go when I was leaving the military headquarters, I suddenly remembered..."
“Isn’t that adjutant responsible for communication and monitoring your movements? I suddenly remembered an ancient creature that had this ability before, ‘Wuyi’. I suddenly remembered that ‘Wuyi’ was the king of the water. It could use many algae to create clones to investigate the surrounding waters. It was very powerful. It is said that it could create thousands of clones.”
There was a hint of envy in Xiaocao's tone, "But this clone doesn't have any special abilities; it can only scout the water. It has no combat power whatsoever, but at least it covers a much, much wider area than my tentacles. I don't even know the exact distance, but I think it has been able to scout waters hundreds of kilometers away before. It's insane!"
Xiaocao kept saying that others were perverted, but she was completely unaware of her own perverted abilities, which made Lin Yao purse his lips. He didn't agree with Xiaocao's exclamation at all.
Do you know where 'Dance Costume' is now?
"How would I know?" the little grass asked, puzzled. "But I vaguely remember the appearance of its clones, so I can identify them just by looking at them."
Then, Xiaocao's tone suddenly became enthusiastic, "Yaoyao, let's ask some biology experts to bring over some pictures. I'll search online again to see if I can find the 'Dancing Robe's' clones. I also remembered a way to make these clones rush towards its mother body, and then we can find where it is."
"If I were to merge with 'Wuyi,' my abilities would skyrocket. It would make dealing with 'Morning Mist' much easier. At least my detection range would be hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, and I could detect any water. 'Wuyi's' abilities are too monstrous. I wish I had them."
Xiao Cao's voice was full of longing, her mind solely focused on battling "Morning Mist." Even Lin Yao's heart was gripped with anticipation. Detection ability was crucial; it was the most urgently needed skill to find the hidden "Morning Mist." The world was so vast, with so many hidden corners. With Xiao Cao's current abilities, finding a "Morning Mist" that was deliberately hiding was simply too difficult.
Without strong detection capabilities, future confrontations will always be on a passive defensive posture, because "Morning Mist" can act with impunity, while Lin Yao still has to care about the lives of ordinary people. There is simply no hope of advancement for him.
"I really want to merge with the 'Dance Robe'! Not only will my detection ability be greatly enhanced, but my other abilities will also be greatly enhanced!" Little Grass suddenly became serious. "Yao Yao, you must help me find the 'Dance Robe'. I really, really want to merge with it."
"You want to eat it, don't you!" Lin Yao thought to himself, carefully avoiding using his mind to prevent further agitation towards the little grass.
"Alright, then you can negotiate with Grandpa in my name. He takes these matters very seriously. You can also go to the Grand Elder. I'm busy preparing medicine now."
After Lin Yao finished speaking, he focused his mind and formed a hand seal. A wisp of lightning with a faint purple glow appeared at his fingertip and quickly circled around it.
"Okay, let's first take a look at what changes the electric light has undergone."
Xiao Cao muttered something, then rolled up the bundles of medicinal herbs that had filled the entire basement, ready to be thrown into the large cauldron at any moment.
Aside from a slight purplish tinge in color, the electric light, which showed no particular change in size or brightness, immediately became extraordinary upon entering the cauldron.
The entire cauldron suddenly vibrated with a loud hum, and the shockwave even reached the surface area, radiating outwards like an invisible long wave. Not to mention the sharp-sensed Elder Yi Potian, even Yi Zuojun and Dika, who had just returned to Beijing and rushed back to the villa, suddenly stopped in their tracks, fearfully protecting their heart meridians from being affected.
Under the command of Yi Liao, an elder of the Yi family, ordinary members of the Yi family who were busy unloading goods from the truck and the driver who was restricted to the cab were shaken and staggered. Those who had not cultivated were knocked unconscious, while ancient martial arts practitioners below the Earth level staggered and sat down to meditate and circulate their internal energy to resist the shock. For a time, chaos ensued.
