smart one.
This was because the Night Shadow Race did not have any talents in research and development.
Even if they could use resources to quickly increase the strength of their race, it was still easy to encounter a growth bottleneck.
It was especially so with the lack of spells.
The Night Shadow Race had only mastered a few mental power bewitchment spells, so their actual combat ability was relatively weak.
If they did not make up for their shortcomings in this aspect, it would be difficult for the development of the race to reach a higher level.
However, if they employed the most elite geniuses of the human race to lay the groundwork for their race after gaining control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the effects in the initial stages might not be conspicuous. Yet, with the development of a series of spells tailored to their race, the strength of the Night Shadow Race would gradually ascend.
The owner of the fog agreed with the Night Shadow Race’s investment.
in the words of the owner of the fog, the Night Shadow Race was weak, so they needed to use this method to promote their development.
But the owner of the fog was different.
Its race had many spells and cultivation methods that far exceeded human cultivation. It was better for them to use the resources of the Tiger Soul Research Institute themselves than invest them in various projects.
This was what the owner of the fog thought was the most efficient way to
grow.
During this period, the owner of the fog had begun to reduce the funding for various research projects.
All the resources that were deducted were sent to the owner of the fog.
Now, the owner of the fog would take 15% of the resources allocated every month for cultivation.
The owner of the fog’s next goal was to gradually increase this percentage to about 70%.
It wasn’t an act of mercy to refrain from taking everything.
Instead, the owner of the fog knew very well that if it wanted to use the authority and influence of the Tiger Soul Research Institute to create an advantage for itself, it had to ensure that the Tiger Soul Research Institute could continue operating normally.
Like a parasite, if it were to continuously absorb nutrients from the host, it could not let the host die completely.
It was the same for the Tiger Soul Research Institute under the owner of the fog-
Even if the research progress would decrease drastically in the future, it had to at least introduce something to the outside world to prove that the Tiger Soul Research Institute was still operating steadily.
If there were no results for a long time, the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s influence and monthly resource allocation would decrease accordingly.
In the owner of the fog’s opinion, this was not worth it.
After the owner of the fog took control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the series of reforms allowed Feng Qi to once again see the owner of the fog’s understanding of human society.
At this moment, the owner of the fog, who was floating on the sofa, opened its eyes.
The top-quality spiritual stones on the coffee table turned transparent. The pure spiritual liquid inside changed into blood and energy, flowing into the owner of the fog’s body.
It heaved a long sigh of relief and turned its gaze to Feng Qi, who was sitting in front of the desk.
“How does it feel to be praised by the outside world?”
Looking at the smiling owner of the fog, Feng Qi said nonchalantly.
“It feels alright. Are you done with your cultivation?”
“This round of cultivation is over. Get Night-2 to send some more resources
over in the afternoon.”
The Night-2 mentioned by the owner of the fog was one of the remaining 23 clansmen of the Night Shadow Race.
The owner of the fog couldn’t be bothered to remember their names. Therefore, adopting the word ‘Night’ as his surname, it utilized the numbers 1-23 to assign new names to the remaining clansmen of the Night Shadow
Race.
After sitting down in front of the desk, the owner of the fog looked at him and said.
“Now that our control over the Tiger Soul Research Institute has stabilized, it’s time to contemplate how to infiltrate the Science and Technology Research Institute. I need to uncover the secrets of the Black Death Project as soon as possible. It could have a significant impact on our future development.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
“What do you plan to do next? We can’t select spies in our Tiger Soul Research Institute. After all, the youngest people who came here are all graduates. We can’t let them study technology again, right?”
“Indeed, we can’t recruit spies within our Tiger Soul Research Institute. If there’s an issue with the spies, it could easily be traced back to us. We are currently not a match for the forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute. The risk is too great,” the owner of the fog said, shaking its head decisively.”
“So, where do you intend to find suitable individuals to infiltrate the Science and Technology Research Institute?”
“It’s too troublesome to search for them. I’ve decided to leverage the Night Shadow Race’s ability to control some talented individuals for infiltration into the Science and Technology Research Institute. There’s an additional advantage to this approach. Even if an issue arises, as long as we sever our mental connection, the black shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute won’t be able to trace us, no matter how thorough their investigation.”
Hearing this answer, Feng Qi was enlightened.
He suddenly understood that the spies sent by the Tiger Soul Research Institute had been investigated by the black shadow faction of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
However, regardless of the methods employed, they were unable to extract pertinent information about the Tiger Soul Research Institute from the spies. This was clearly related to mental control.
From the looks of it, it was a wise choice for the owner of the fog not to eliminate the Night Shadow Race who possessed the mental control ability.
Their race had limited combat strength, but the mental control ability endowed by their bloodline could yield unexpected advantages at specific moments.
He was also looking forward to infiltrating the Science and Technology Research Institute.
At the very least, after the infiltration was successful, the spy would be able to bring back important information that he had not been able to find on the sacrifice timeline.
After some discussion, the owner of the fog suddenly said.
“In addition to infiltrating the Science and Technology Research Institute, I’ve been thinking about a new plan recently. If this plan succeeds, it will also greatly increase our growth speed..”
