Chapter 2797: Chapter 2798: Lin Yi’s Prestige
After leaving the cabin, Lin Yi led Group One to the deck.
The voyage wasn’t initially long, but after some hassle, the silhouette of Tilia Island could already be faintly seen in the distance.
From afar, Tilia Island seemed no different from any other deserted island.
But upon closer inspection, it felt significantly different.
A faint mist surrounded the island, enveloping it like a mysterious veil.
[Mission completed, reward 200,000 experience points.]
[Professional proficiency: 80%, rewarded with a map of Tilia Island.]
The sudden appearance of the system notification startled Lin Yi.
He then realized it must have been Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che who helped sell the medicine, completing the task.
But this reward was beyond his expectations!
When receiving this reward, Lin Yi’s first thought was whether Shunfeng would deliver here as well?
Soon, Lin Yi had his answer.
The map wasn’t physical but appeared in his mind!
In other words, unless he could reproduce it with his strong memory, he could only share it verbally with others.
Originally, Lin Yi thought this map was just extra baggage, with no real use.
However!
When the map manifested in his mind, he didn’t think so anymore.
He had seen countless maps of Tilia Island.
But the system’s reward was different from what he had seen before.
The maps owned by the Central Guards Brigade were all satellite-drawn, albeit unnecessarily, they were redrawn every six months.
Yet this mental map was unlike any conventional map he had seen.
The first difference was the clarity, making it more visually intuitive!
Most importantly, it specifically marked two routes that could pass through the periphery Kandaya Forest to Tiyama River.
Seeing this, Lin Yi’s mind whirled rapidly.
The system’s rewards had always been highly advantageous for him.
Thus, the marked routes on the map were likely the best path through Kandaya Forest!
Subsequently, Lin Yi took out a map to compare with the one in his mind.
One marked route was conventional, well-contested, and the site of Entrance A.
But another route wasn’t indicated on the usual maps.
In other words, other organizations had probably not ventured there yet.
Simply put, fighting for Entrance A was now meaningless!
Because he had another option!
The system was truly considerate!𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"Lin Bro, we’re about to land. Are you nervous?" Luo Qi asked with a grin.
"As long as you’re all safe, I’m not nervous."
Group One remained silently contemplative.
Being remembered by someone is always moving.
Toot toot toot——
Soon, the ship’s whistle sounded.
By then, Tilia Island was imminent.
The ship was about to dock.
A few minutes later, they were only a dozen meters from the dock.
Several simple, even crude vehicles were parked by the dock.
All were specially made vehicles from various nations, capable of driving entirely on the island’s perimeter.
At the front of the ship, Lin Yi took a deep breath of the salty air.
Here, the oxygen content in the air was noticeably higher than elsewhere.
And Tilia Island was about to unveil its mysterious facade.
Soon, the ship docked.
Lin Yi led Group One towards disembarking.
The others on the ship caused a stir, retreating to make way, not daring to be presumptuous as if lining up to welcome them.
Seeing such a scene, those on the dock waiting to meet them were dumbfounded.
The island’s major forces were almost self-reliant.
Such cordiality had no practical use here in this lawless and unregulated place.
Nothings like this had ever happened before.
Watching Lin Yi lead Group One down the path left by the crowd, all four groups were baffled, not understanding what had transpired.
"Big Brother Cheng, what’s going on? It’s Team Leader Lin’s first visit, yet these war maniacs are giving him such face?"
Tao Cheng shrugged and laughed:
"Something probably went down; otherwise, these people wouldn’t behave."
"Truly impressive, such envy."
"What else? Did you think the title of Merit Team Leader was just for show?"
"If I’m not mistaken, Team Leader Lin was recruited by you."
"Of course, I discovered this gem amidst a sea of people." Tao Cheng said boastfully.
"But why did Team Leader Lin later surpass you?"
"Dammit! Don’t bring that up!"
Tao Cheng cursed, "His father’s so influential, even God would salute him before leaving, while my dad just sells drugs, no comparison."
"Big Brother Cheng, don’t lose heart, no need for self-pity. Though not as powerful as Team Leader Lin, nor as good-looking, you’d not survive if you take it too seriously."
"I’ll damn well kick you!"
After cursing, Tao Cheng walked over to Lin Yi.
"Big Brother Cheng, thanks for the hard work, we should’ve come first, but you had to cover for us." Lin Yi said courteously.
"Don’t use formalities like we’re not close."
Tao Cheng laughed, "I’ll take you back to the base first, then brief you."
"Alright."
Lin Yi got into a vehicle with Group One, driving on the perimeter road toward the Central Guards Brigade base.
Sitting in the car, Lin Yi observed the surroundings.
All he saw was covered with yellow sand and coastline.
But the road beneath was paved with stones, showing strong human intervention.
It must have been refurbished by later generations.
According to regulations, the area from the coastline to within a kilometer is a safe zone, where conflict and fire are strictly prohibited.
Islanders respect this rule dearly.
Regardless of grievances, they won’t resolve them in the safe zone.
About half an hour later, they reached the Central Guards Brigade base.
There stood a row of simple houses, some earth-made, some prefab, conditions weren’t great.
Close by was a market-like area, bustling with people trading items and crucial information.
When they arrived at the camp, they saw Luyu Teahouse at the gate, waiting for Lin Yi with two members of the Flame Dragon Team.
"Why are Flame Dragon’s people back?"
