Lin Yi gifted Ouyang Lei several military-grade vehicles containing confidential contents. Ouyang Lei guessed they were satellites and rushed to deliver them, excitedly telling a superior that the number far exceeded expectations, hinting at a significant gain for their organization. Lin Yi also gave Ouyang Lei a list of required resources.

"No matter what, you must make sure those things are safe. I’m setting off right now, I’ll meet up with you and take a look."

After saying that, the old man actually just gave a sharp click and hung up, completely ignoring Ouyang Lei, and that sudden move caught Ouyang Lei totally off guard.

He’d originally been planning to show off a bit to the old man, but before he could even start bragging, the old man directly hung up. And judging from that tone, he had clearly guessed that Ouyang Lei must’ve gotten his hands on a lot of satellites.

Only, the old man probably couldn’t even begin to imagine that what he’d brought back this time wasn’t just a few simple ones, but easily over a hundred. Maybe even several hundred.

Even now he still couldn’t believe it. If the old man comes over and sees this scene, what kind of expression will he have?

Thinking of that, the corner of Ouyang Lei’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up, revealing a wicked grin. He really wanted to see it for himself.

The old man’s stunned expression—over all these years he’d rarely seen the old man genuinely shocked. Today he was going to feast his eyes. With that thought, he became even more pleased with himself, and immediately started making calls, dispatching a whole crowd of

subordinates to come and support. You could say that as this convoy rolled out, a dedicated route was cleared in an instant. On that road, aside from his men, there wasn’t a second person in sight.

Only after the convoy had been driving for a full half hour did that road gradually reopen to traffic. Along the way everyone was armed to the teeth, all on high alert, and only after they entered that large compound did their vigilance slowly ease.

Of course, as soon as the vehicles rolled to a stop, Ouyang Lei immediately spotted an elderly figure up ahead. This old man was no stranger—he was the very same one who’d just been on the phone with him. And right now he had actually arrived one step ahead to wait here, which was enough to show just how

worked up he’d been. Yet when Ouyang Lei’s vehicle stopped and the old man looked at that long line of trucks behind him, his whole face was filled with shock. Even after all the storms he’d weathered, even after spending most of his life

in this kind of environment, he still couldn’t help but feel that this level of shock was unbelievable. Especially when he saw Ouyang Lei get out, his lips trembled slightly as he asked:

"Th-this all...? Don’t you tell me this is all... This is way more than just ten or eight units, isn’t it?"

Hearing that question, Ouyang Lei just chuckled and then said:

"Heh heh, Old Chief, I never said it was only ten or eight. That was all you guessing on your own, hahaha. That’s right, everything here is what Lin Yi had me bring over. It’s just that I don’t actually know whether what’s inside is the stuff we’re thinking of.

After all, that guy only told me that it absolutely had to be tightly protected, no leaks to outsiders. As for what exactly is inside, I haven’t seen a thing. Hearing that, the old man frowned slightly, muttering in his heart, Kid, how can you be this unreliable?

For something this big, could there really be a screw-up? If that guy opened up all these trucks and it turned out they weren’t carrying what he wanted, that’d be one hell of a joke, and we’d lose face big time.

Not just him—every single high-level officer had gotten word of this by now. If anything went wrong with this operation, Ouyang Lei would probably become the laughingstock of the entire military.

Yet even though there wasn’t much real certainty in it, Ouyang Lei’s face still wore that smug smile, because he knew Lin Yi wouldn’t trick him. What he represented was obvious without saying. Sure, some daily pranks and petty trouble were normal, but when it came to big things like this, Lin Yi always did exactly what he said he’d do—that was his nature. And that was why Ouyang Lei dared to make such a big production out of this. Then, with a single order from the old man, they began checking what exactly was loaded inside those trucks. Of course, they definitely couldn’t just inspect everything out in the open.

After all, there were still those ultra-high-definition cameras out in the wild that might broadcast what was happening here. So they drove the trucks into a classified warehouse first, and only then had people carefully remove the waterproof tarps covering everything.

And the moment those tarps were pulled away, a ferocious giant beast appeared before their eyes. That’s right, the exterior of this satellite looked absolutely mighty and imposing. No exaggeration, it could crush every satellite they currently had. This kind of satellite—

just a single glance was enough to know there was no way it could have been built with their present capabilities.

Moreover, all the workmanship on it, the level of refinement—it was no exaggeration to say it easily reached world‑class, top‑tier standards. Even the major powers would be left in the dust, only able to look on from afar.

Not only that, as the first truck was opened, the old man’s nerves gradually tightened. He was afraid that Lin Yi, that little bastard, was messing with them—putting one satellite in the first truck, and loading nothing but empty space or random junk in the rest.

That kid had done every kind of unreliable thing you could think of. If he really pulled that stunt, there’d be nothing they could do about him. Of course, they also strongly believed Lin Yi wouldn’t go that far, and they believed that the rest of the trucks most likely all held satellites like this.

And sure enough, when the first truck was unloaded, the tarp on the second truck was lifted, and another satellite appeared inside. Only, this one was different from the last.

And sure enough, when the first truck was unloaded, the tarp on the second truck was lifted, and another satellite appeared inside. Only, this satellite was vastly different from the previous one.

The shape of this satellite was very different from the first, which was enough to show that the two clearly weren’t the same type of satellite.

Of course, there was one detail that left the two of them a bit disappointed: both satellites had markings indicating they were civilian satellites, not something they could really put to direct military use—or at least not of great use to them. But that didn’t affect their enjoyment of the unboxing process one bit.

Just like that, they opened satellite after satellite, and finally both of their faces showed true shock. Right in front of them appeared a satellite that looked downright domineering, and its spec sheet was absolutely badass.

In short, this was exactly the kind of satellite they needed most—and one that was decades ahead of its time. Once a satellite like this went into orbit, it would be nothing but beneficial to them as a whole. No exaggeration, in certain fields it could absolutely crush that other crowd, and that was exactly what the old man wanted to see. And this was only the beginning.

As more and more satellites were unloaded from the trucks, the smile never left the old man’s face, and the same went for Ouyang Lei. By the time they were done, looking at the several hundred satellites piled up before them, the old man’s gratified expression said it all. He couldn’t help stepping forward and giving Ouyang Lei a heavy slap on the shoulder:

"Well done. You did exceptionally this time. Here’s what we’ll do—I’ll see you awarded a First Class Merit."

Well now, every soldier these days knows that even a Third Class Merit is barely within reach, a Second Class Merit is practically impossible, and as for a First Class Merit...
