《Super Invincible Battleship》


 Chapter 1 - 1 Drone Avatar

    Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Drone Avatar


    In the room, Yan Fei watched the drone zipping up and down, his eyes filled with curiosity. Even now, he had not figured out how he hade to possess this drone avatar.


    Earlier, Yan Fei had ordered the most affordable Dakong brand drone online. The drone arrived at his home swiftly. After Yan Fei signed for it and opened the package, he identally tripped, hit his head on the drone, and passed out. When he woke up, he found that the drone had be his avatar.


    This drone was entirely ck, with four rotors on the top and a sphere in the middle housing an HD Camera that could rotate 360 degrees. At the bottom was a small elongated cylinder. The drone had a very simple structure, with only the most basic flight and surveince functions, weighing less than two kilograms and costing 800 yuan ¨C it was an entry-level drone.


    Once the drone became Yan Fei¡¯s avatar, every movement was entirely under his control. With just a thought, the drone would operate ording to his consciousness. Taking off, hovering, turning left or right, moving forward or backward, and even flipping sideways ¨C it was all so effortless, as easy as moving his own fingers. When he reached out to touch the drone, he immediately felt as if he was touching his own body, yet he also felt the actual stic body of the drone, a paradoxical yet unified sensation that fascinated him.


    Ordinary drones are mainly controlled by a remote controller, but the drone avatar acted upon Yan Fei¡¯s consciousness. The remote controller that came with the drone had bepletely useless; it couldn¡¯t influence the flight of the drone at all. Moreover, the entire remote control system installed on the drone had disappeared; the drone only obeyed Yan Fei¡¯smands.


    Yan Fei suspended the drone in the air and observed it carefully, while the drone avatar used its HD Camera to watch over Yan Fei¡¯s body. In Yan Fei¡¯s mind, there appeared two images: one from the drone¡¯s camera and one from his own eyes. With a single thought, the main perspective switched to the drone avatar; in the HD Camera, his body was curiously watching the drone, the image crystal clear. Never before had he observed himself so carefully ¨C the top of his head, the back of his skull, and his back, which were normally unseen in a mirror, were all clearly visible. With another thought, the main perspective quickly switched back to his body, and he saw the drone hovering in front of him.


    Moreover, if Yan Fei so wished, he could simultaneously share both perspectives, able to see both his body and the drone avatar at the same time. The feeling was slightly eerie, and at first, he felt a bit disoriented, as if he were experiencing schizophrenia. However, he quickly became ustomed to it and fully mastered the method of coexisting and switching between the two perspectives.


    Feeling the very real sensation of the drone avatar, Yan Fei was somewhat excited. He had read many online fantasy novels before, envying the miraculous adventures of the protagonists but never imagining that he too would have such an experience and obtain a drone avatar.


    After the initial curiosity wore off, Yan Fei discovered a virtual operating screen for his drone avatar in his mind that had appeared out of nowhere. This virtual screen was somewhat like aputer screen, except it was virtual, invisible to everyone but Yan Fei himself.


    The virtual screen disyed four simple pieces of data:


    Energy ¡ª 30


    Weapon ¡ª 200 (Pea)


    Merit ¡ª 0/100


    Universal Space ¡ª 1 cubic meter.


    Upon seeing this data, Yan Fei immediately understood their significance.


    Energy resembled the drone¡¯s battery power, representing its range and operational capabilities. Flying and other actions would consume energy, and if the energy points were to be depleted, the drone would enter standby mode, unable to perform any operations. Energy points would automatically restore to 100% at midnight every day.


    Yan Fei had noticed that after the drone became his avatar, some magical mutations urred. For instance, the drone¡¯s battery had vanished without a trace, and there was no slot to connect an external battery. Even the entire body of the drone had be one solid piece,pletely non-dismanble. Instead of a battery, it was these energy points that provided power for the drone.


    Weapon represented the drone avatar¡¯s attack method; the drone¡¯s only attack method now was the Pea Bullet, with only 200 rounds. Under air pressure, Yan Fei couldunch peas from the barrel at high speeds to attack targets. Every attack used one pea, and once the Pea Bullets were expended, the drone would lose its ability to attack.


    Simrly, the number of Pea Bullets would automatically restore to 100% at midnight every day. Originally, this drone was a civilian model with no offensive capability, but following its mutation, a small elongated cylinder appeared at the bottom of the body that could rotate 360 degrees, loaded with Pea Bullets ¨C this was the drone avatar¡¯s weapon.


    Merit represented the des gained using the drone avatar; for every target attacked and effectively damaged by the drone avatar, 1 score would be awarded, with only 1 score obtainable per target. Once the drone¡¯s merit reached 100 points, the drone would upgrade and be even more amazing.

 Chapter 2 - 1 Drone Avatar_2

    Chapter 2: Chapter 1 Drone Avatar_2


    The volume of the Universal Space is 1 cubic meter, initially shaped as a cube, but it can change shape ording to needs. It somewhat resembles the Portable Space described in inte novels. As long as it doesn¡¯t exceed the volume of the Universal Space, Yan Fei can freely store items in it, of course, living creatures cannot be stored. Regardless of where the Drone is, it doesn¡¯t affect Yan Fei¡¯s ability to open and close the Universal Space at any time, nor does it affect his ability to store and retrieve items from it. However, curiously, the Drone Avatar cannot be put into the Universal Space.


    After figuring out the meaning of the data on the operation screen, Yan Fei was ecstatic. He had not expected the Drone Avatar to have such functions, and that it could upgrade, with immense potential at that. Although the Drone Avatar was currently only two kilograms in size and looked rather rudimentary, once upgraded, who knows, it might grow into a terrifying existence.


    But what made Yan Fei want toin was that the attack weapon of the Drone Avatar turned out to be peas, only two hundred of them at that. What kind of attack power could such a weapon have? With such weaponry, how was he supposed to earn Merit Points? When he¡¯scking in vegetables, should he shoot those two hundred peas and cook a soup? For the time being, only the Universal Space seemed a bit useful to him, small as it was, it was still a Portable Space after all. Just that why does the Universal Space have the word ¡°universal¡± in it? Who is it universal with? Why can¡¯t the Drone be put into the Universal Space¡­


    While Yan Feiined, he was nevertheless very happy inside. Obtaining the Drone Avatar seemed unscientific, even absurd, but isn¡¯t the world filled with unscientific events all the time? In inte novels, which protagonist¡¯s adventures aren¡¯t absurd? At least stories about the protagonist obtaining some kind of avatar in inte novels do set a precedent.


    After understanding the functions of the Drone Avatar, Yan Fei also discovered something that made him even happier. It was that when he obtained the Drone Avatar, a Mysterious Power caused a mutation in the Drone, and his own body also came into contact with this Mysterious Power. This Mysterious Power transformed his body, giving him a tremendous enhancement. The transformation by this Mysterious Power was silent and quick,pleted before Yan Fei even realized what was happening.


    In the past, Yan Fei stood at 178cm and weighed only 70 kilograms, looking a bit skinny. Now, although he was still 178cm tall, his weight had increased to 80 kilograms. Under the influence of the Mysterious Power, his body suddenly gained a considerable amount of muscle, significantly increasing his strength. By his own estimation, the force in his body had at least doubled.


    At the same time, some strange changes were slowly happening within Yan Fei¡¯s body. These changes gradually improved his abilities, but the changes were very slow; long-term observation was needed to understand what exactly was happening and what transformations they would bring to Yan Fei.


    In summary, following the acquisition of the Drone Avatar, Yan Fei¡¯s physical condition had improved by at least doublepared to before.


    Yan Fei felt the powerful force emerging in his body and was thrilled. His fingers inadvertently touched a teacup, and with a thought, the teacup was stored in the Universal Space, after which he saw the teacup within the Universal Space. Locking onto the teacup with another thought, it reappeared in his hand. Then, he became interested and started storing small items from the room into the Universal Space, before retrieving them again. In and out, until he hadpletely mastered the method of storing and retrieving items.


    During this process, only a bit of Yan Fei¡¯s Spiritual Power was consumed, causing him a slight fatigue, which quickly recovered. This meant that as long as Yan Fei didn¡¯t continuously storerge items into the Universal Space, he could almost indefinitely store and retrieve items in it.


    The only thing that puzzled Yan Fei was why this clearly personal Portable Space was appearing on the Drone¡¯s Virtual Operating Screen and was even called Universal Space. Universal with whom? The Virtual Operating Screen did not provide an answer, and he could only decide to look into itter.


    After studying the Universal Space, Yan Fei began to observe the Drone Avatar¡¯s weapon. Oddly enough, he could see the Pea Gun Muzzle from the outside and could sense the existence of the Pea Bullets inside but could not see the Pea Bullets from the outside or manually add to them. He could rotate the Pea Gun Muzzle at will; with just a thought, the muzzle moved to the desired position. When he thought of a target, the Pea Bulletsmenced firing.


    Yan Fei started shooting Pea Bullets at the wall. At first, he couldn¡¯t quite get the uracy right, missing the target. After slowly mastering the knack for it, the hit rate began to improve. Earlier, he thought the Pea Bullets weren¡¯t very powerful, but to his surprise, although they couldn¡¯t kill a person, getting hit by them was still quite painful. He had jumped up from the pain during his own power testing, only then realizing the power of Pea Bullets.


    After undergoing a mutation by the Mysterious Power, many parts of the Drone Avatar werepletely different from before. For example, when flying, the Drone was very quiet; its four propellers made not the slightest sound, and its flight speed was extremely fast, not at all like those sluggish drones.


    Yan Fei wanted to test the Drone data in detail, but it was daytime, and he had not yetpleted all the paperwork for flying his Drone. Couple that with the recent strict management of flying vehicles by the government, he didn¡¯t dare to send the Drone out for testing right now. He could only fly it around the room to satisfy his craving, albeit in a limited way.


    The Drone flew rapidly around the room, barely avoiding various obstacles under Yan Fei¡¯s control ¨C the ceiling, under the bed, the toilet, even within drawers. After bing Yan Fei¡¯s avatar, the entire Drone waspletely under his control, with perfectmand over every part, pushing the Drone to its full performance. After all, no matter how powerful a remote control system is, it can¡¯tpare to the capabilities of the human body itself.


    As the Drone flew, Energy Points were being silently consumed. Gradually, the Drone Avatar¡¯s Energy Points dwindled to zero, and no matter how Yan Fei operated it, the Drone Avatar justy there on the ground, unresponsive, except that the Universal Space was still functioning normally, all other functions of the Drone Avatar were offline.

 Chapter 3 - 2: Acts of Chivalry

    Chapter 3: Chapter 2: Acts of Chivalry


    ¡°`


    Yan Fei estimated the time and found that if the flight was as high-speed as the test he just conducted, the Drone Avatar¡¯s 30 Energy Points wouldst at most only 30 minutes. In other words, 1 Energy Point would only allow high-speed flying of the Drone Avatar for 1 minute.


    Of course, if the flight wasn¡¯t operating at such a high intensity and the speed was reduced, the drone¡¯s flight duration would extend appropriately but definitely not exceeding 1 hour. Once the Energy Points were depleted, the Drone Avatar would enter standby mode, unable to operate further until the Energy Points naturally recharged.


    After figuring out that the Drone Avatar¡¯s flight time was only 30 minutes to 1 hour, Yan Fei still felt somewhat disappointed, as the endurance was not strong. However, his anticipation grew, realizing that the Drone Avatar could be upgraded, and once upgraded, this limitation might vanish automatically.


    Time flew as Yan Fei researched his Drone Avatar, and it wasn¡¯t until his stomach growled that he realized how hungry he was. He swiftly prepared dinner for himself and began eating alone.


    While Yan Fei¡¯s body had been transformed by a Mysterious Power into something stronger, this transformation came at a cost. It depleted the energy within his body, now significantly deficient and in dire need of replenishment. Consequently, his appetite had suddenly increased by five times. Fortunately, living alone meant that no-one was rmed by his sudden increase in food consumption. This situation was likely only temporary; once his body absorbed enough energy topensate for the transformation¡¯s toll, his appetite should return to normal gradually.


    After dinner, Yan Fei went to the neighboring exercise room to familiarize himself with the sudden surge of strength within his body. He struggled with control because this power emerged abruptly, not knowing his own strength during cooking and ending up breaking several bowls. He needed to quickly master his transformed physique to utilize this newfound power effectively rather than let it be a hindrance.


    Yan Fei enjoyed exercising and had his own dedicated exercise room and equipment; however, he¡¯d never practiced any martial arts or specialized training methods. All he knew were some basic exercises learned from the gym, which were not particrly effective. Yet, after two hours of depletion of his internal strength, he managed to harness a portion of the sudden powerful force in his body. Of course, full mastery was still some time away, but at least he would no longer break bowls.


    Exhausted, Yan Fei took a shower and went to bed. Waking upter, he found it was already one in the morning. With a thought, his perspective instantly switched to the Drone Avatar, which promptly activated. From the Virtual Operation Screen, Yan Fei noticed that the Energy Points had indeed restored to 30, and even the Pea Bullets he had used before topped back up to 200. It was the next day, and it seemed the drone underwent its automatic refresh at one o¡¯clock in the morning.


    Yan Fei opened the window to inspect the outside condition; the Drone Avatar took off silently and flew out into the night sky. Meanwhile, he was lying in bed, with his perspective shifted to the Drone Avatar, feeling as though he had truly taken flight.


    Yan Fei had always dreamed of flying, a desire confined to dreams until now. He never thought he would truly experience aerial flight, even if only through a Drone Avatar. The sensation was intensely authentic and fulfilled his dream of flight.


    Living on the fifth floor, the Drone Avatar revealed a pitch-ck vista once airborne. Some streetlights were visible, though visibility wasn¡¯t great. Thankfully, the mutated HD Camera function was powerful and automatically adjusted brightness, maintaining minimal impact on Yan Fei¡¯s vision.


    At thiste hour, most people were lost in slumber and it was rare to see anyone on the streets. Coupled with the Drone Avatar¡¯s stealthy all-ck color, Yan Fei wasn¡¯t worried about it being spotted by others.


    The moment the drone flew out the window, it ascended toward higher altitudes. At Yan Fei¡¯s whim, the drone navigated through the sky, an experience so exquisite it felt like personal flight. However, he soon discovered that past a certain altitude, climbing became incredibly challenging, leading him to realize the height limit of his drone¡¯s flight capability. Comparing with the surrounding high-rise buildings, he estimated the Drone Avatar¡¯s maximum flight altitude to be around 100 meters.


    He then controlled the Drone Avatar to fly towards the distance, elerating as he went. When its speed reached 20 meters per second, it could no longer increase, marking the maximum flight speed of the Drone Avatar. Tranted to kilometers, that was 72 kilometers per hour, a speedparable torger civil drones.


    As the Drone Avatar continued to fly, traversing some distance, Yan Fei felt his control over it suddenly weaken. He quickly understood that he had reached the maximum range of his control. Using the nearby buildings and terrain as reference points, he roughly estimated the effective range of controlling his Drone Avatar to be about 1 kilometer; any further, and it might lose contact with his body.


    With these calctions, Yan Fei roughly understood some data points about the Drone Avatar: a flight altitude not exceeding 100 meters, a flight speed not exceeding 72 kilometers per hour, and a control range not surpassing 1 kilometer. As the proverb goes, know thyself, know thy enemy, a hundred battles, a hundred victories. Understanding his Drone Avatar¡¯s capabilities would allow him to utilize its full potential better.


    The Drone Avatar was now within a 1-kilometer radius of Yan Fei¡¯s body, hovering above thergest nearby Leisure Park. Although it was 1 am, not all park lights were extinguished. With the mutated HD Camera, Yan Fei could still observe the entire park clearly from above.


    And just as the Drone Avatar was flying over the park, preparing to leave, Yan Fei suddenly heard a ¡°snap¡± followed by someone speaking aloud.


    ¡°`


    The Drone Avatar was somewhat strange; although it could see real-time images through the HD Camera, it didn¡¯t have any equipment to collect sound on the body. Yet, even so, this avatar could hear sounds as if it had ears, which was amazing.


    Upon hearing the voices below, Yan Fei¡¯s heart stirred, and the Drone Avatar lowered its Flight Altitude, silently drifting over and then hiding in the shadows beneath the tree canopy. He saw a young couple standing next to a bench by theke in the Park. A man was covering his face, shouting at another young woman.


    ¡°Little Juan, we¡¯ve been dating for so long, why won¡¯t you let me kiss you? And why did you hit me so hard¡­¡±


    The young woman named Little Juan said angrily, ¡°Yuan Ye, I didn¡¯t expect you to be this kind of person. Didn¡¯t we agree that we shouldn¡¯t have any intimate gestures before marriage¡­¡±


    Yuan Ye got even more infuriated, ¡°Times have changed. Which couple doesn¡¯t engage in affectionate gestures? If you don¡¯t let me kiss you, why did you agree to meet me thiste? It¡¯s the middle of the night now¡­¡±


    Little Juan said, ¡°You know I work night shifts, I just got off work. Besides, you¡¯re the one who asked me toe here.¡±


    Yuan Ye spoke fiercely, ¡°I don¡¯t care. You¡¯re my girlfriend, and I¡¯ve spent so much money on you; today, I must get a kiss from you.¡±


    Watching Yuan Ye approach her, Little Juan grew panicked and said, ¡°Yuan Ye, don¡¯t mess around, I¡¯ll call for help.¡±


    Yuan Ye was desperate, ¡°Then call! Your Company is nearby, let¡¯s see how you face your coworkers once they hear about this.¡±


    Yuan Ye took a step forward and grabbed Little Juan. Just as she was about to shout, Yuan Ye covered her mouth. Ignoring Little Juan¡¯s struggles, he was about to force a kiss on her. Yan Fei was initially observing out of curiosity, but seeing this scene unfold, reminiscent of the fabled tale of a lord forcing himself on ady, he became quite angry. No matter what, force was definitely not eptable.


    The Drone Avatar hidden beneath the tree canopy swiftly flew toward Yuan Ye, hovering 50 meters away¡ªsince the Pea Shooter¡¯s maximum range was 50 meters¡ªand then the barrel of the Pea Shooter began to rotate, aiming at Yuan Ye¡¯s behind. Under air pressure, the Pea Bullets started firing.


    Though the Drone Avatar fired peas, they were dried peas, none too small, and were quite painful on impact, which Yan Fei had personally experienced before. But because they were only peas, which wouldn¡¯t actually harm a person, that¡¯s why Yan Fei felt justified attacking ordinary people with them.


    Just as Yuan Ye was about to seed, suddenly a sharp pain erupted in his backside, and he let out a miserable scream. Then, more than a dozen peas rained down on him, causing such pain that he jumped up.


    Yan Fei was about to continue the assault, to teach this forced-kisser a lesson, but then he saw Little Juan rush over with concern, saying to Yuan Ye, ¡°Yuan Ye, what¡¯s wrong with you? Don¡¯t scare me! If it¡¯s really that bad, I¡¯ll let you kiss me.¡±


    Yan Fei froze, sighing in his heart, realizing once again the unfathomable mind of a woman. Perhaps their refusals were just a means to get what they ultimately desired. Seeing Little Juan embracing Yuan Ye with a concerned expression, Yan Fei felt a wave of disillusionment and steered the Drone Avatar away.


    The couple looked around everywhere, clueless about who had attacked them. As peas fell to the ground and into the grass, the couple failed to notice them. They exchanged a look, then remembered horrifying scenes from movies set in parks, which gave them chills. Yelling once more, they ran off supporting each other. Yan Fei¡¯s attack had unexpectedly brought the couple closer together, which Yan Fei never sawing.


    Yan Fei¡¯s Drone Avatar continued to fly over the Leisure Park. Then he saw the number on the Merit Points had be 1. His mind raced, realizing that the Merit Points were certainly tied to the recent attack on Yuan Ye. So, this was how Merit was earned. Also, he understood that a person could only contribute a maximum of 1 point of Merit since Yuan Ye had been hit with more than a dozen peas yet only 1 point of Merit appeared. If so, by attacking others with peas, could his Merit quickly reach the Upgrade requirement?


    However, Yan Fei wasn¡¯t a bad guy, nor could he convince himself to just shoot anyone with peas; after all, getting hit with peas was still quite painful. But then it dawned on him that there were many injustices in this World, and he could use his Drone Avatar to y the chivalrous person and punish the wicked. This wouldn¡¯t only fulfill his childhood dream of being a chivalrous hero but would also earn Merit Points, allowing his Drone to Upgrade¡ªa double win. It was a pity that his Weapon consisted of two hundred dried peas, which could only intimidate those small-time thugs without weapons. Against those hardened criminals armed to the teeth, he was helpless. Yet, if people found out that the chivalrous hero¡¯s Weapon was nothing but peas, Yan Fei wondered if they wouldugh their heads off¡­

 Chapter 4 - 3 Yan Fei’s Wealth

    Chapter 4: Chapter 3 Yan Fei¡¯s Wealth


    Yan Fei harbored dreams of being a hero, fantasizing about eradicating evil and protecting the innocent. Unfortunately, due to thete hour, the park was deserted, preventing his hero dreams froming to fruition.


    Thus, Yan Fei controlled his Drone Avatar as it flew over the park and toward the adjacent street. The circr sphere in the middle of the drone rotated 360 degrees, providing a 360-degree view without any blind spots. He then spotted a pitiful stray dog searching for food in a pile of garbage under the streetmp in the distance, surrounded by threerge stray dogs that had appeared from nowhere.


    The threerge dogs encircled the stray dog, growling softly and baring their teeth before beginning their attack. The stray dog, skinny and malnourished, had woefully lowbat power and, in the blink of an eye, was howling and bleeding profusely as the threerge dogs bit it.


    Yan Fei¡¯s Drone Avatar flew over, swiveling the Pea Machine Gun and unleashing a hail of Pea Bullets at the threerge dogs. Despite theirrge size and fur protection, the potency of the hard peas was not to be underestimated; the pain of being struck was intense. Therge dogs were sent hopping and yelping around, the bullets causing them to howl in pain. They turned their heads to the drone in the sky, their eyes reflecting a vicious light as they roared loudly at the unmanned aircraft.


    Yan Fei swiveled the gun barrel and fired several more rounds of Pea Bullets, hitting the threerge dogs squarely. The dogs wailed pitifully and, no longer daring to bark, they exchanged nces and, with tails tucked, scampered away.


    The stray dog eyed the drone above with a frightened look, hesitated for a moment without tending to its wounds, and then ran off as well.


    Yan Fei chuckled wryly to himself, thinking that he might count as a chivalrous person after all. His first act of heroism had been breaking up a couple flirting, and his second was helping a dog, which he seemed to have scared. He wondered how many people in the world would go to such lengths to be a chivalrous person.


    Yan Fei checked the data and saw that the Merit Points of his Drone Avatar had increased to 4. Clearly, those threerge dogs had contributed 3 Merit Points. Only, the Pea Bullets had been used up quite a bit; only 110 remained, and there were only 15 Energy Points left, enough for 15-30 more minutes of flight.


    The Drone Avatar continued to fly, its flight trajectory covering a radius of one square kilometer from Yan Fei¡¯s actual location. Due to thete hour, there were hardly any people on the street, nor were there opportunities for Yan Fei to act the hero.


    When the Drone Avatar¡¯s Energy Points dropped to 10, Yan Fei spotted a petty thief trying to steal cured meat hanging from a second-floor window with a long pole. Assailed by Pea Bullets, the thief thought he had encountered a ghost and fled in terror, even abandoning his long pole in the process. As a result, the Merit Points of the Drone Avatar sessfully increased to 5.


    After scaring away the petty thief, Yan Fei felt somewhat proud, thinking that he was starting to resemble a hero. Just then, a ck dot from the sky suddenly shot downwards, targeting his Drone Avatar. Because of the 360-degree view from the Drone Avatar¡¯s Surveince Camera, Yan Fei immediately spotted the object diving down. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was an eagle. The eagle, hunting at night, had mistaken Yan Fei¡¯s Drone for its prey.


    With a thought, Yan Fei swiftly flipped the drone, its four rotors turned downwards, and rotated in the opposite direction, causing the entire body to hover in midair. The Pea Shooter¡¯s gun barrel rotated swiftly, targeting the eagle above, before firing off Pea Bullets.


    The eagle, diving toward the drone, was struck by the Pea Bullets and experienced intense pain. More Pea Bullets hit the eagle in session, causing it to screech and lose some feathers. Realizing it was outmatched, the eagle cried out sharply, abandoned its attack on the Drone, and fled.


    Yan Fei righted the drone, feeling quite smug, but then he noticed an issue: the Merit Points remained at 5. In other words, his encounter with the eagle had not yielded any Merit Points. The Pea Bullets had hit the eagle and caused it harm, but why hadn¡¯t he received any Merit Points?


    Curious about the criteria for Merit Points, Yan Fei began to experiment. He chased away a snake near a stream, saving a frog, but did not receive any Merit Points. He also scared away an owl in the forest, rescuing a mouse, but again, he gained no Merit Points.


    So, Yan Fei came to an initial conclusion: only attacking humans and significantlyrge animals would yield Merit Points. His earlier idea of using animals to farm Merit Points was na?ve.


    The Drone Avatar continued to fly but did not encounter any situations needing intervention. Finally, when the Energy Points ran out, the Drone Avatar returned to Yan Fei¡¯s side and went into standby mode, no longer able to move.


    His night of adventurous heroism was over, and it was now 2 a.m. However, the experiences of the night left Yan Fei too excited to sleep. He tossed and turned in bed until just before dawn when he finally fell into a deep slumber. When he woke up the next day, it was already eleven in the morning. The Drone Avatar was still in standby mode, with zero Energy Points, 59 Pea Bullets remaining, and 5 Merit Points.


    Since the Drone Avatar couldn¡¯t be activated, Yan Fei decided to exercise his body instead. After all, ¡°The body is the capital of revolution¡±; without a good physique, everything else is meaningless. Thus, Yan Fei went to the workout room again to get familiar with his body¡¯s strength.


    Two hourster, Yan Fei was exhausted but felt closer to fully mastering the power within his body. However, his appetite remainedrge. After finishing his own cooked food and still feeling hungry, he went to the Bun Shop on the street and bought more than ten meat buns before finally feeling full.


    Just as Yan Fei returned home, he heard a knock at the door. Opening it, he was greeted by two lively young girls. The one withrge eyes said crisply, ¡°Little boss, we¡¯vee to pay the rent!¡±


    Yan Fei¡¯s parents had passed away, leaving behind a five-story building in the Suburbs of the City. The property used to be on the outskirts, but with the city¡¯s rapid expansion, it had be prosperous. Hence, Yan Fei decided to rent out the rooms in his family¡¯s five-story building. Each floor had five rooms, and with the exception of reserving the entire fifth floor for himself, all the other 20 rooms were for rent.


    Yes, Yan Fei was a Landlord. Including the ground-floor retail space, Yan Fei¡¯s monthly rental ie amounted to sixty thousand yuan. With this money, Yan Fei¡¯s life wasfortable, which was one reason he hadn¡¯t sought work since graduating.


    The big-eyed girl in front of him was L¨¹ Yangyang, one of Yan Fei¡¯s tenants. The other girl, who had a good figure, was called Su Yan, and she shared the rental with L¨¹ Yangyang. Usually, L¨¹ Yangyang was the one tomunicate with Yan Fei, as Su Yan seldom interacted with him.


    Yan Fei curiously asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t your rent not due for another half a month? Why are you paying now? People usually have to be chased down for rent. I¡¯ve never seen someone eager to pay it early.¡±


    L¨¹ Yangyang¡¯s eyes flickered as she said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it great to meet good tenants like us?¡±


    Yan Fei stepped aside, saying, ¡°Come in and talk.¡±


    L¨¹ Yangyang pulled Su Yan in, and Yan Fei said, ¡°Take a seat first, I¡¯ll go make some tea for you.¡±


    Su Yan had never been to Yan Fei¡¯s room before. Noticing several group photos hanging on the wall, she asked curiously, ¡°Little Boss, you actually graduated from Zhendan University? That¡¯s amazing!¡±


    L¨¹ Yangyang proudly said, ¡°Yanyan, you don¡¯t know, but Little Boss is a true high-achiever, a genius. He knows way more than you can imagine.¡±


    Yan Fei humbly replied, ¡°Not at all, I¡¯m quite ordinary, not a genius by any means. My ssmates are the real geniuses. Compared to them, I sometimes doubt my own life choices.¡±


    Su Yan whispered, ¡°Little Boss is too modest.¡±


    Suddenly, L¨¹ Yangyang let out a ¡°huh¡± and said, ¡°Little Boss, it seems like you¡¯ve gotten stronger since thest time I saw you.¡±


    Yan Fei gave a bitter smile. His body had been transformed by a mysterious power, and someone attentive had spotted the change in his physique. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t meet L¨¹ Yangyang often, so she couldn¡¯t be certain that he had grown stronger in a short period. He responded, ¡°You know I enjoy working out, and I¡¯ve made some progress recently, so I look a bit more robust.¡±


    L¨¹ Yangyang voiced her belief in Yan Fei¡¯s words with an ¡°oh.¡± She nced at Su Yan and asked, ¡°Little Boss, how many years has it been since you graduated from Zhendan University?¡±


    Yan Fei answered, ¡°Three years now. Why do you ask?¡±


    L¨¹ Yangyang replied casually, ¡°Just curious, that¡¯s all. By the way, you¡¯re not even 25 this year, right?¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°I¡¯m only 23.¡±


    L¨¹ Yangyang stuck out her tongue at Su Yan and said to Yan Fei, ¡°Little Boss, you¡¯re incredible, only 23 and it¡¯s been three years since you graduated from such a prestigious university.¡±


    Yan Fei didn¡¯t pick up on L¨¹ Yangyang¡¯s line. Instead, he ced the freshly brewed tea in front of them and said, ¡°Let¡¯s get to the point, the real reason why you¡¯re here today.¡±


    Su Yan said softly, ¡°Little Boss, the thing is, we heard that this neighborhood might be demolished. We¡¯re not sure if it¡¯s true, and if it is, whether it will affect our building.¡±


    Yan Fei stroked his chin and said, ¡°Correct, I have been notified that our area will soon be demolished for the construction of a Commercial Center. But it will be several months at the least before the demolition terms are negotiated. I had been meaning to find time to discuss it with you, but you¡¯vee to me with this question instead.¡±


    L¨¹ Yangyang said with a hint of sadness, ¡°So we¡¯ll have to move out? I¡¯ve lived here for a year.¡±


    Yan Fei replied, ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do; I can¡¯t stop such a big event. But until the demolition starts, you still can live here.¡±


    L¨¹ Yangyang said, ¡°Having to find a new ce to live in a few months is hard to ept. You¡¯re the bestndlord I¡¯ve ever met.¡±


    Yan Feiughed, ¡°I¡¯m not as good as you say; I¡¯ll evict someone who doesn¡¯t pay rent just the same. By the way, because of the situation, I¡¯ve decided to offer a 30% discount on the rent from now on, and you can pay monthly instead of quarterly.¡±


    L¨¹ Yangyang and Su Yan were thrilled, realizing they could save several hundred yuan each month. They heaped praise on Yan Fei, who found this both amusing and somewhat sad. For young women struggling in Shanghai, rent was indeed a heavy burden.


    After gathering their intelligence, L¨¹ Yangyang and Su Yan left. As they were leaving, Yan Fei heard L¨¹ Yangyang whisper to Su Yan, ¡°See, Little Boss is such a catch, tall and handsome, looks slim in clothes but muscled without. Plus, he¡¯s a highly educated graduate from a key university with lots of property. Once the demolition goes through, he¡¯s sure to be a bona fide billionaire! If you hooked up with him, you wouldn¡¯t have to worry about a thing. And did you notice he kept stealing nces at you? That means he¡¯s interested in you. What¡¯s more, I¡¯m sure he doesn¡¯t have a girlfriend since he¡¯s always alone¡­¡±


    After his transformation by a mysterious power, Yan Fei¡¯s hearing had be much sharper, allowing him to hear the girls talking softly but clearly. He couldn¡¯t help but wryly smile; these girls were cute but not his type at all¡­


    In the evening, Yan Fei kept his eyes fixed on the virtual screen of his Drone Avatar. As the clock struck midnight, the Virtual Operating Screen refreshed rapidly. The Drone restarted, its Energy Points restored to 30, and the Pea Bullets refilled to 200. He checked his surroundings, saw nothing unusual, opened the window, switched view, and sent the Drone flying once again.

 Chapter 5 - 4 Terror Pea

    Chapter 5: Chapter 4 Terror Pea


    After spending a night getting familiar, Yan Fei¡¯s skill in controlling the drone had greatly improved. The drone, like an extension of his own body, performed dazzling aerobatics ording to his will.


    During the day, Yan Fei had carefully observed his surroundings and identified several public and hidden surveince cameras. When nighttime came and it was time for the drone to take action, he intentionally stayed out of the cameras¡¯ field of vision as much as possible to avoid being discovered.


    The Drone Avatar returned to the nearby park, and thanks to the 360-degree field of view of the drone¡¯s camera and its excellent lighting technology, Yan Fei¡¯s perspective was extremely broad. Despite it being night, he could still spot many ongoing activities.


    In the wee hours, the park was sparsely popted, but at thekeside, three people were sneaking around. These men were in their thirties and each had a battery on their back, a metal probe in hand, dressed in a set of stic waterproof clothing, and one of them also carried arge.


    Yan Fei was very curious. He hid the drone under the shadow of akeside tree¡¯s canopy and quietly watched these three oddly attired individuals, wondering what they were up to.


    He then saw the trio busy themselves by theke, connecting the batteries to the metal probes in their hands. One of them pressed the switch on the battery, and a wisp of blue electricity appeared on the metal probe, along with a ¡°crackling¡± sound.


    The leader nodded and said, ¡°Not bad, the battery power is sufficient this time, we definitely won¡¯t have any issues tonight.¡±


    Another man hesitated before speaking up, ¡°Third Brother, I still feel this isn¡¯t right. The fish in this park are meant for everyone to enjoy for free. If we stun them with electricity and then sell them, isn¡¯t that a bit immoral?¡±


    Before Third Brother could reply, another one of the men said discontentedly, ¡°Old Seven, you¡¯re making it sound so righteous; I almost didn¡¯t recognize you. You haven¡¯t done many good deeds yourself normally, so why the sudden conscience today?¡±


    Third Brother ¡°shushed¡± them and said, ¡°Keep it down, no more arguing. The fish here are overfed and are particrly big, it¡¯s a waste to leave them here. If others aren¡¯t going to catch and eat them, why can¡¯t we catch and sell?¡±


    Old Sevenmented, ¡°Third Brother, the fish here are mainly goldfish, which are ornamental. I¡¯m afraid they might not sell!¡±


    Third Brother replied, ¡°There are also grass carp and carp here, and they are quiterge too. I¡¯ve scouted the area during the day. Besides, since we¡¯re already here, let¡¯s electrocute them first; if we get the ornamental goldfish, we can just take them home to eat.¡±


    It was then that Yan Fei realized these three were poachers who specialized in fishing with electricity. He couldn¡¯t help but admire their creativity. The fish in these parks were dumb and not afraid of humans, with sizable bodies, yet no one ever thought to catch and sell them¡ªthese three were geniuses foring up with the idea.


    Now aware of their intentions, Yan Fei naturally wouldn¡¯t allow them to go ahead with the fishing. He maneuvered the drone to get closer to them, still hidden in the shadows of the trees, and aimed the Pea Shooter at them.


    The trio was ready and lined up to enter the water when suddenly the leader, Third Brother, was hit by a pea bullet. With a scream, he dropped the metal probe he was holding, which touched the person behind him. That man immediately shuddered and fell to the ground, twitching.


    Thest man, Old Seven, was startled and asked, ¡°Third Brother, why did you electrocute Little Huang?¡±


    Before Third Brother could speak, he was hit by several more pea bullets, leaping up and shouting, ¡°Damn it, who¡¯s shooting at me?¡±


    Old Seven was puzzled, not understanding why Third Brother had seemingly gone mad. It was dark, and the Pea Shooter made no noise when firing. Since the Drone Avatar was concealed in the tree shade, they had no chance of seeing it.


    Yan Fei turned the gun, firing off several peas, hitting Old Seven in the buttocks.


    Old Seven felt a sharp pain and instinctively pressed the switch on the battery he held. The metal probe he was carrying drooped and happened to touch Third Brother in front of him. Third Brother received an electric shock and fell to the ground, his body rigid and shaking uncontrobly, unable to even make a sound.


    After being attacked and identally shocking Third Brother, Old Seven was the only one left standing. Startled, he quickly looked around. It waste at night, Yan Fei had carefully hidden the drone, and the peas that had fallen to the ground after the attack were small, so Old Seven waspletely clueless about who or what was attacking them.


    Looking at the pitch-ckke surface, Old Seven suddenly recalled the urban legend of a woman who hadmitted suicide by throwing herself into theke here. Seeing the convulsions of his twopanions on the ground, he immediately thought he had encountered a ghost and was scared out of his wits. He froze for a moment, then suddenly shouted, dropped his electrofishing gear, and fled the park, tumbling and crawling away, leaving his twopanions behind.


    Yan Fei did not chase after the fleeing Old Seven but instead turned the Pea Shooter¡¯s muzzle toward the first person who had fallen and was still convulsing on the ground, unleashing several Pea Bullets at him, but the person did not react. After all, the pain from an electric shock was so intense that the pain from the Pea Bullet attacks was negligible.


    After attacking the fish-stealing trio, Yan Fei was pleased to see his Merit Points increase by 3 points; his total Merit had reached 8 points, which meant each of these three individuals had contributed 1 Merit Point each. This foray not only stopped the trio from stealing fish but also earned him 3 Merit Points, marking a sessful first victory.


    Old Seven¡¯s escape made a lot of noise, and soon after, the park management staff noticed themotion and began to head toward thekeside. To avoid trouble, Yan Fei maneuvered his Drone away from the park as well.


    In the following time, Yan Fei hoped for another chance to perform acts of vignte justice. However, to his disappointment, the surroundings were quite peaceful. Although there were pedestrians on the road, there were no criminals to be seen, not even a stray dog, which left him extremely frustrated.


    By the time the Drone¡¯s Energy Points were down to 10, Yan Fei had not encountered any opportunities to intervene. He gave a wry smile, wondering if he shouldment this peaceful era for itsck of criminals to fight against.


    Just as Yan Fei was flying the Drone back, he suddenly spotted a person on the rooftop edge of a tall building, looking like they were about to jump. He quickly flew closer, only to see a young man with a scruffy beard, tears streaming down his face as he looked at the street below, poised to leap. Behind him, a pair of neatly ced shoes pressed down on a piece of white paper, which also had something written on it.


    The Drone Avatar¡¯s HD Camera quickly adjusted the focus to close in on the white paper. Although the content was obscured by the shoes and thus unclear, the words ¡°Suicide Note¡± were dramatically written at the top.


    Yan Fei was shocked; it seemed like the scruffy young man was about tomit suicide! His physical self at home sat up and grabbed his Mobile Phone to call the police, but seeing that the man had already lifted his foot, ready to leap off the building at any moment, he knew it would be toote by the time the police received the call and arrived on scene. Without a second thought, he rotated the Pea Gun Muzzle, aiming it at the man about to jump.


    Heart filled with despair, the young man was about to jump when suddenly, several Pea Bullets flew out of the darkness and struck him. The pain from the Pea Bullets was excruciating. Instinctively, he pulled his foot back and used his hand to fend off the attack.


    Yan Fei controlled the angle of the Pea Gun Muzzle, avoiding vital areas, and attacked the young man again. The man waspletely unable to withstand the onught of Pea Bullets and hopped around in agony. To dodge the Pea Bullets, he was forced to retreat continuously until he backed into the building and shut the door behind him, escaping the relentless Pea Bullet barrage.


    Yan Fei watched, greatly amused. Thinking that someone who couldn¡¯t even bear this level of pain was looking to die was absurd. But just as he was enjoying the moment, the man suddenly burst out of the door, charging out. Yan Fei was startled and prepared to attack again, only to find that all the Pea Bullets had been used up in the previous assault. As he was chiding himself, he saw the man quickly pick up his shoes from the ground, stuff the suicide note into his pocket, and run back into the building.


    Watching the man¡¯s actions, Yan Fei didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. However, it seemed the attack had some effect; at least the man wouldn¡¯t bemitting suicide right there and then. Yan Fei kept the Drone Avatar hovering in the darkness in front of the building, watching what would happen next. A few minutester, he saw the man, pale-faced and wearing his shoes, leaving the ce. As he left, he kept rubbing the spots where the Pea Bullets had hit him¡­


    When the Drone entered standby mode due to depleted Energy Points, Yan Fei had earned a total of 4 Merit Points that evening: 3 from the fish-stealing trio and 1 from the man about to jump. Adding in the 5 points from the previous night, the Drone¡¯s Merit Points had reached a total of 9.


    Having earned 9 Merit Points in two days, Yan Fei was quite satisfied with the progress. If he continued at this rate, he wouldn¡¯t need a month for the Drone Avatar to umte enough Merit Points for an Upgrade. He just wondered what the Drone would change into after the Upgrade¡­


    The next day, word of the impending demolition of the area spread further, prompting more and more tenants toe to Yan Fei for information, which he appeased ording to the conditions previously discussed with L¨¹ Yangyang.


    The government was nning to develop the neighborhood into a Commercial District, and Yan Fei was not opposed to the idea as long as the conditions were right. This house was the only thing left by his parents, and he would have some reluctance to let go of it. But this was an inevitable trend, and Yan Fei had no power to Change it.


    Upon learning of the impending demolition, other homeowners in the region were ted. After all, this was Shanghai, the most economically developed area in China, where property prices had already soared to unbelievable heights. Although this was not traditionally considered part of the City area, it was well-connected and bustling. The highpensation they would receive for the demolition was exciting just to think about. With that money, they could simply quit working for good. For those who lived a life of idleness, a demolition was like a pie falling from the sky, perfectly suited for them.


    With an indifferent attitude, Yan Fei watched all these developments. During the day, he trained in the gym, harnessing the great strength he had obtained, while at night, he flew the Drone Avatar around the neighborhood to perform acts of vignte justice. Since the Drone had undergone both external and internal mutations, Yan Fei no longer bothered with official flight approvals to avoid having to exin its origins and to prevent people from discovering its secrets.


    Ten days flew by quickly. Yan Fei had fully mastered his newfound strength and was able to use it effortlessly, as light as a feather. Meanwhile, through his bouts of vignte justice, the Drone Avatar had umted 68 Merit Points.


    Of course, during this period, Yan Fei had not encountered any real criminals; it was all people and situations that had little to do with serious crime, but which were utterly repulsive. As they contributed to the Drone¡¯s Merit Points, a new urban legend about the Terror Pea emerged in the vicinity.

 Chapter 6 - 5 - 1 Upgrade

    Chapter 6: Chapter 5 ¨C 1 Upgrade


    The Drone Avatar¡¯s range of operation was originally notrge, with only a radius of 1 square kilometer. So when Yan Fei also heard about this urban legend of the Terror Pea, he immediately realized what consequences his actions could lead to.


    Among those attacked by the Pea Bullets, not everyone was a coward; some chose to call the police and presented the pea that attacked them as evidence. At first, the police from the nearby station didn¡¯t take it seriously, thinking that the callers were joking. But as the number of reports increased, the police finally took notice and started patrolling and staking out the area.


    It was precisely because of the discovery of police surveince nearby that the Drone Avatar became even more cautious, which in turn narrowed its field of operation even more. With a smaller range, it became even harder to find targets. Thus, to address this problem, Yan Fei decided to relocate.


    At night, Yan Fei drove his own minivan, with a box containing the drone inside, to the eastern side of the Shanghai city area. He found a secluded ce to wait, and after midnight, he released the drone to uphold justice in this part of the city. There were no legends of the Terror Pea here, so some petty thieves appeared in the dead of night, allowing the drone to take action repeatedly, reaping a substantial harvest of 10 Merit Points in one night.


    This bounty excited Yan Fei tremendously. The next day, he drove the minivan to the city¡¯s west side and released the drone again, earning 9 Merit Points that night. On the third day, in the city¡¯s south side, Yan Fei earned 7 Merit Points. On the fourth day, in the city¡¯s north side, he earned 6 Merit Points. By now, his Drone Merit Points had reached 100, meeting the requirements for a Drone Upgrade.


    At one o¡¯clock in the morning, when Yan Fei was excitedly driving back home, he found two cars parked in the courtyard of his house, with several people standing in front of the cars smoking boredly and a pile of cigarette butts thrown on the ground, looking impatient.


    Seeing Yan Fei get out of the minivan, a middle-aged man took out a photo topare, then walked up with a smile and said, ¡°Mr. Yan Fei, hello, I¡¯m Zhang Baocheng, it¡¯s a pleasure to meet you!¡±


    Yan Fei didn¡¯t shake his hand and asked, ¡°Who are you? Do we know each other?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng wasn¡¯t offended. He withdrew his hand, handed over a business card, and said, ¡°Mr. Yan, hello, we¡¯re from the Honglou Real Estate Company. We¡¯re here today mainly to discuss with Mr. Yan the matter of acquiring your house.¡±


    Yan Fei still didn¡¯t take the business card and said, ¡°This is my house, I own all the property rights, and I have no intention of selling it, so I¡¯m sorry to disappoint you.¡±


    A brawny man with a fierce appearance stepped forward from behind Zhang Baocheng and said menacingly, ¡°What are you talking about, kid? Do you know who you¡¯re speaking to? Daring to make Brother Cheng wait so long, are you asking for death?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng waved his hand to stop the brawny man and said, ¡°Manager Xie, don¡¯t talk so loudly, you might scare Mr. Yan. Besides, we¡¯re not the mafia, so don¡¯t always talk about death.¡± Then he turned to Yan Fei and continued, ¡°Mr. Yan, you see, we really are very sincere, otherwise we wouldn¡¯t have waited here for so long. Won¡¯t you even hear us out on our offer?¡±


    Yan Fei knew that the area¡¯s relocation news had been confirmed and understood that somepany from who-knows-where was attempting to scoop up the ce cheap. But he was curious about the current market value, so he asked, ¡°How much are you willing to pay for my house?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯ve done our research. When your house was built, it cost a total of 2.5 million yuan, and the total floor area of the building is 1200 square meters, whiches to less than 2100 yuan per square meter. We¡¯re willing to offer 3000 yuan per square meter, letting you make a profit of 900 yuan per square meter. What do you think?¡±


    Yan Fei became furious. It was true that building his house had cost only 2.5 million yuan, but that was 30 years ago. How could 30 years¡¯ old valuepare to today¡¯s? Moreover, the building area might indeed be 1200 square meters, but the Courtyard was also not small, a good 50 square meters or more, yet it waspletely overlooked. His house was used for rental, earning 60,000 yuan in rent monthly, adding up to over 700,000 yuan a year. What¡¯s more, the imminent relocation would mean he could at very least exchange his property for over 2000 square meters of new housing; with Shanghai¡¯s average housing price over 50,000 yuan per square meter, that amounted to over 100 million yuan. However, the other party wanted to buy it for mere 3.6 million yuan, which was inly robbery.


    Yan Fei was furious internally, but he didn¡¯t show it and simply replied indifferently, ¡°This house was left to me by my parents and has great sentimental value to me. I won¡¯t sell it, so I apologize.¡±


    Zhang Baocheng snorted coldly, and the muscr man came forward, pointing at Yan Fei arrogantly and said, ¡°Mr. Yan, it¡¯s an honor for you that our Boss Zhang has taken a liking to your house. Don¡¯t be ungrateful by opening your mouth too wide. I¡¯lly it out here; your house will definitely be Boss Zhang¡¯s, because in the end, you¡¯ll definitely sell it to us. Remember this, we will buy it no matter what. If we can¡¯t buy it, you¡¯ll understand just how fearsome our wrath can be¡­¡±


    Then Zhang Baocheng said, ¡°Second Xie, talk nicely, why are you threatening people? Do you want others to think we¡¯re part of the mafia?¡±

 Chapter 7 - 5 - 2nd Upgrade

    Chapter 7: Chapter 5 ¨C 2nd Upgrade


    Yan Fei ignored the two men¡¯s back-and-forth and turned to leave, disregarding the arrogant Second Xie. The times were different now; it was an era of legal society, where those suspected of being part of the mafia were being severely cracked down on by the state, scurrying about and not daring to cause trouble as tantly as before. If they dared to act out, they would be met with the powerful authoritarian force of the state machine. Besides, Yan Fei had just acquired his Drone Avatar and, along with his significantly increased strength, was not at all afraid of the other¡¯s verbal threats.


    Second Xie, with his imposing build, took a quick step and blocked Yan Fei¡¯s path, swinging his shoulder to hit Yan Fei¡¯s chest. Yan Fei sidestepped and rammed his shoulder into the bulky man as well. A loud ¡°bang¡± resounded when their shoulders collided fiercely. Yan Fei staggered slightly, while Second Xie was knocked unsteady, almost falling over.


    With that collision, Yan Fei¡¯s strength clearly had the upper hand. He exercised daily and had full control over the strength he had gained. With his first move, he achieved a victory, which greatly boosted his confidence.


    Second Xie was taken aback, not expecting Yan Fei to look so slim yet possess such immense strength. Hesitating, he did not try to stop Yan Fei again. Meanwhile, Zhang Baocheng looked on with a face full of shock and confusion, evidently unsure what to think.


    When Yan Fei reached the fourth floor, he saw that L¨¹ Yangyang and Su Yan¡¯s door was slightly ajar. L¨¹ Yangyang poked his head out from the room and whispered, ¡°Boss, are you okay? Do you need us to call the police?¡±


    Yan Fei shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m fine, very fine!¡±


    L¨¹ Yangyang said, ¡°These people have been here since just past eight o¡¯clock, blocking the way downstairs, each one looking fierce and vicious, obviously here to cause trouble. Boss, please be careful!¡±


    Yan Fei replied with a smile, ¡°Thank you for your concern, but I¡¯ve got it handled. Don¡¯t worry about me!¡±


    Just then, the sound of a car engine starting came from downstairs. Yan Fei looked down to see Zhang Baocheng and Second Xie getting into a car, driving away from the courtyard, just like that, they left.


    Back in his room, Yan Fei put down the cardboard box he was carrying, which contained his Drone Avatar, and began to ponder the current situation. The Demolition Feast was about to begin, and all kinds of shady characters were active. In this area, his family¡¯s building had thergest construction area, preliminarily valued at over a hundred million. Moreover, since he was the only one in his family and had no close friends or rtives, he was essentially isted and vulnerable. Those people must have investigated his situation, knowing he had no one to rely on, which is why they targeted him.


    A cold smile crept into Yan Fei¡¯s heart. He was no pushover, and those people might take a serious tumble if they weren¡¯t careful. At that moment, he realized profoundly that strength was always the most important safeguard. Once he had sufficient strength, he would no longer fear their threats and could protect his family¡¯s building.


    Yan Fei opened the box and took out his Drone Avatar. As he switched his perspective to the Virtual Operation Screen, he discovered that the drone had reached 100 Merit Points, the upgrade point, and a shing red upgrade button appeared on the screen. He clicked the upgrade button with his consciousness and saw the Virtual Screen sh before shutting down abruptly, his consciousness forcibly ejected.


    As Yan Fei¡¯s consciousness returned to his body, he saw an eerie fluctuation suddenly appear on the Drone Body, spreading throughout his living room. Following that, some of the appliances began to disassemble. Yan Fei was startled and suddenly remembered an important issue; he wanted to stop the drone¡¯s upgrade, but unfortunately, he was unable to control the drone at that moment, and the upgrade process was irreversible.


    While Yan Fei was regretting, the disassembledponents of the living room appliances broke down into tiny particles, which gathered into an ion stream and merged into the Drone Body. As these ion streams continuously fused, changes began to appear in the drone¡¯s body.


    Five minutester, the Drone Body finally finished its transformation and upgrade. However, because some parts had been disassembled, the household appliances now looked pitted and worn, beyond use.


    Yan Fei felt deeply regretful. He had forgotten that a Drone Upgrade required arge amount of Raw Materials. Since he hadn¡¯t provided these Materials, the drone had extracted them from nearby sources, which were, unfortunately, his home appliances. This oversight resulted in theplete scrapping of his household appliances. The purchase of these appliances had cost him at least one hundred thousand yuan, and now due to a simple mistake, that money had turned into scrap metal, filling him with regret. The only constion for Yan Fei was that the Drone Upgrade was finallyplete.


    The upgraded drone was still ck in color and maintained the simple, civilian quadrotor shape simr to before the Upgrade, but its size had increased substantially. The drone once weighed only 2 kilograms, but now it had reached 20 kilograms.


    Bending over to inspect it, Yan Fei discovered changes on the Virtual Operation Screen as well.


    Drone Avatar (Level 2)


    Energy ¡ª 300


    Weapon ¡ª 500 (Steel ball)


    Merit ¡ª 0/1000


    Universal Space ¡ª 10 Cubic meters


    Flight Speed ¡ª 144 kilometers/hour


    Flight Altitude ¡ª 200 meters


    Control Distance ¡ª 10 kilometers


    Storage Card ¡ª 100 TB


    The upgraded Virtual Operation Screen now disyed the Level of the Drone Avatar for the first time; the previous screen had no such disy, making it very clear to Yan Fei which stage his Drone Avatar was in.

 Chapter 8 - 5 - 1st Upgrade_3

    Chapter 8: Chapter 5 ¨C 1st Upgrade_3


    Other changes were also notable: the drone¡¯s energy points increased to 300 points. Although the drone¡¯s size and weight had increased significantly, which would definitely lead to a corresponding increase in the consumption of energy points during flight, this was still a qualitative leap from the previous 30 energy points. This was bound to greatly enhance the drone avatar¡¯s endurance capabilities.


    As for weapons, they underwent the most drastic change after the upgrade. The previous drone could only fire pea bullets, but the upgraded drone had begun using Steel Ball Bullets, with an astonishing number of 500 bullets. Although these Steel Ball Bullets were not as powerful as real bullets, they were definitely stronger than pea bullets, and it was not a problem to incapacitate or even kill a person. The same gun barrel that fired the pea bullets was still in use, utilizing air pressure to shoot, only now the steel balls wereunched further and with greater force.


    The merit points required for the drone¡¯s upgrade had reached 1000 points, which made upgrading the drone ten times more difficult. The Universal Space also received an upgrade, expanding to 10 cubic meters, allowing Yan Fei to load more items into it and making his actions more convenient.


    Surprisingly, this upgrade also revealed some specific flight data about the drone. For example, the flight speed had reached 144 kilometers/hour, which converts to 40 meters per second; the flight altitude had reached 200 meters, and the control distance had extended to 10 kilometers. Looking at the data alone, the upgraded Level 2 drone was extremely formidable, having surpassed most of the civilian drones in the world, let aloneparing it to unupgraded drones. With this data, Yan Fei had a better understanding of the drone¡¯s performance and could fully utilize its functions.


    An additional feature that appeared with this upgrade was the functionality of a Storage Card. Previously, although the drone was able to use an HD Camera to capture the surrounding scenes, itcked a recording function. Even if Yan Fei wanted to find previously captured footage, it was not possible. Now, with the Storage Card, footage captured by the drone could be saved, and then transferred to Yan Fei¡¯sputer via WIFI. This feature sparked many new ideas for Yan Fei.


    This upgrade not only enhanced the drone itself but also the Mysterious Power had simrly modified Yan Fei¡¯s body. Like before, this transformation was stealthy and instantaneous. Following the upgrade, Yan Fei¡¯s appearance had not changed, nor had his muscles increased further, but he clearly felt a sudden surge of great strength within his body. Based on his preliminary estimates, his strength had doubled from its previous baseline. In other words, Yan Fei¡¯s strength was now four times what it was before the enhancement. To some extent, Yan Fei could now be considered a small superman.


    Yan Fei¡¯s transformation was not just a simple increase in physical strength; other enhancements were happening simultaneously. It¡¯s just that these were not as noticeable as the increase in strength, and he would graduallye to realize them over time.


    With this upgrade, the drone avatar was enhanced, evolving from a toy-like gadget into a true deadly armed weapon. With this lethal tool and his body strengthened again, Yan Fei felt confident in dealing with any provocation.


    The only regret was that the upgrade had overlooked the issue of materials, resulting in the loss of over a hundred thousand yuan worth of household appliances, which was indeed a pity. However, this lesson learned, Yan Fei would not make the same mistake in the future.

 Chapter 9 - 6: Hot Topics

    Chapter 9: Chapter 6: Hot Topics


    ¡°`


    The Drone Upgrade to Level 2 resulted in a qualitative leap inbat power, while the Energy Points and Steel Ball Bullets also returned to 100%. Yet, Yan Fei decided against going out at night to y hero anymore, as the Level 2 Drone was somewhat bulky. Although it remained ck, it was much more conspicuous than before and could easily be spotted.


    The next morning, Yan Fei¡¯s appetite had increased once again. Fortunately, he had brought back ample buns and steamed bread to eat at home, so as not to rm others. There was no choice, as his body had just been transformed by the Mysterious Power and needed a lot of nutrition to make up for the deficit, forcing him to eat more. However, he believed that his appetite would return to normal in a few days.


    After breakfast, Yan Fei returned to the gym for physical training. With his previous experience, he quickly became ustomed to his body¡¯s strength. Although he hadn¡¯tpletely mastered the power, at least he no longer unintentionally exerted too much force.


    Around ten o¡¯clock in the morning, there was suddenly amotion downstairs from Yan Fei¡¯s building. A shrill cry of a woman started to ring out, as she wept and shouted simultaneously, ¡°Injustice! Injustice¡­ The Yan Family are swindlers, they took away ournd through deceitful means, making us lose our livelihood. How can I and my grandson survive now? We want ournd back, we need to eat.¡±


    Yan Fei peeked out and saw at the entrance of the courtyard downstairs a middle-aged woman in her fifties sitting on the ground, wailing and disheveled. Next to her stood a dirty little boy about five or six years old who, seeing the woman crying, also started to cry loudly. Passersby, seeing the scene, immediately gathered around, and soon a crowd formed.


    Yan Fei frowned, he had no idea what had happened, as he didn¡¯t recognize the middle-aged woman. Then he saw a man nearby ask curiously, ¡°Big sister, what injustice have you suffered?¡±


    The middle-aged woman halted her sobbing and pointed at the Yan Family building, saying, ¡°Brother, you don¡¯t understand. The Yan Family took advantage of my family head who couldn¡¯t read, tricked him into signing thend transfer agreement, and forcefully upied ournd, forcing us to move out. Then they built this building on it, living the good life. After we were forced to move because we had nond, we had no way of making a living, and life became very difficult. My family head, my son, and daughter-inw all passed away due to poverty, leaving behind only my grandson and me. We¡¯re running out of money and soon won¡¯t be able to survive. We¡¯re so miserable!¡±


    Yan Fei¡¯s mind raced. Their family¡¯s building was constructed in the ¡¯80s, before he was born, but he had heard his parents mention this incident. Before liberation, their family was arge capitalist and had their own Company. After the founding of the new state, their Company was nationalized, and they lost everything. Following the Reform and Opening up, the state began to rectify some of the past wrongdoings,pensating them with a piece ofnd and arge sum of money, which Yan Fei¡¯s father used to build this apartment building.


    Back then, the construction of this building utilized thend they received aspensation. Yet, after the building waspleted, in order to facilitate ess, less than five square meters ofnd from a neighboring farmer was used to construct a road connecting to the main street. This upiednd was formally processed with a generous financialpensation ¨C 10,000 yuan per square meter, amounting to a total of 50,000 yuan for the five square meters, a lofty sum at the time. The Government notary department had even issued a certificate. Therefore, from a procedural standpoint, there were absolutely no issues with the Yan Family¡¯s building. Morally speaking, thepensation of 50,000 yuan in those days was more than fair for thend that was taken. Moreover, the family that had theirnd upied moved away early on, and Yan Fei had never even seen these people. So why would someone suddenly show up iming injustice?


    All of a sudden, Yan Fei spotted a burly figure among the onlookers and recognized him immediately; it was Second Xie, Zhang Baocheng¡¯s henchman from the previous night. Second Xie appeared to be watching the middle-aged woman¡¯sment with great interest, then he noticed Yan Fei watching him. He gave a secretive smile, made a throat-slitting gesture at his neck, and walked away.


    Seeing Second Xie, Yan Fei had an epiphany. This middle-aged woman was likely brought here by Zhang Baocheng to stir up trouble, then coerce him into selling his house to them at a low price. After all, the building was worth over a hundred million, and it would be strange if no one targeted him, especially when it seemed like he was on his own. What surprised Yan Fei was that Zhang Baocheng had extensive resources at his disposal to investigate an incident from 30 years ago and quickly thought to hire someone to put pressure on him with a performance.


    The middle-aged woman¡¯s crying was so loud that the tenants of Yan Fei¡¯s apartment were disturbed. Upon discovering the noisy middle-aged woman, they all became uncertain. A couple preparing to go out was grabbed by the woman who, with a mix of snot and tears, cried out, ¡°You heartless Yan Family, you seized ournd and took away our fields, making it impossible for us to survive. Return ournd to us, we need to live, we need to eat¡­¡±


    The couple was seriously frightened and ran away as soon as they broke free. Subsequent onlookers who inquired about the situation were greeted by the crying woman recounting the Yan Family¡¯s alleged crimes and demanding hernd back for survival. Consequently, some bystanders uploaded the scene to the Inte, adding sensational titles to attract online attention.

    Chapter 10: Chapter 6: Hotspot Event_2


    Yan Fei returned to his room and called the police.


    Five minutester, a police car arrived with a male and a female officer. Under the scolding of the two officers, the onlookers finally dispersed, and the middle-aged woman, seeing the police arrive, did not continue to cause amotion but left with her child. However, as she was leaving, Yan Fei noticed a triumphant smile in her eyes. The police, seeing that the middle-aged woman left voluntarily and took a child with her, did not stop her.


    The two officers who responded Yan Fei recognized, as they were local police from the nearby station. The man was called Huang Pu, and the woman was called Miao Hong. Yan Fei often went to the police station to report tenant information, so he was very familiar with them.


    The two officers approached, and Huang Pu said to Yan Fei, ¡°Little Fei, what¡¯s going on here? Who was that woman?¡±


    Yan Fei replied, ¡°Huang brother, I don¡¯t even know that woman.¡±


    Miao Hong asked, ¡°Then why did shee here to cause trouble? There must be a reason¡­¡±


    Yan Fei then ryed the history of his family¡¯s property, and after thinking for a while, he also mentioned Zhang Baocheng¡¯s visit the previous night, and that he had just seen Zhang Baocheng in the crowd, which led him to suspect that the middle-aged woman was sent by Zhang Baocheng to cause trouble. As for her real identity, Yan Fei said he did not know.


    Huang Pu¡¯s expression became serious as he said, ¡°I¡¯ve heard of this Zhang Baocheng before; he used to be in the mafia, andter he went straight and started a real estatepany. Even though he¡¯s gone straight, he still has ties with the mafia, and his Company frequently uses deceitful and threatening methods to seize people¡¯s houses; he doesn¡¯t have a good reputation.¡±


    Yan Fei asked doubtfully, ¡°Isn¡¯t the country cracking down on organized crime? Howe people like him still exist and covet my property?¡±


    Miao Hong replied, ¡°Little Yan, although the country is cracking down on the mafia, we still need evidence. We now govern ording to thew, and without evidence, we naturally can¡¯t arrest people. Previously, whenever Zhang Baocheng got into trouble, one of his subordinates would take the me, and we couldn¡¯t gather any solid evidence of his crimes, so we couldn¡¯t arrest him. At most, we would fine him some money, and he would repeat his tactics next time.¡±


    Yan Fei felt dazed, almost as if he¡¯d been transported back to the era depicted in old Hong Kong movies. The crackdown is real, but it still relies on evidence and ¡°Program¡±. With the education from old Hong Kong films, the mafia became increasingly cunning¡ªaftermitting crimes, they would simply have someone take the me. Those taking the fall get paid while in prison, and the mafia wouldpensate them financially after their release. This way, everyone gets what they want, and there¡¯s general satisfaction. Hence, the mafia continues to break thew; as long as they avoidmitting murder and are careful, they can often escape unscathed.


    Huang Pu added, ¡°This Zhang Baocheng is engaged in legitimate business, and though he obtains properties through scheming, he makes sure everything is watertight. With the victims intimidated, we can¡¯t act against him without evidence.¡±


    After thinking for a moment, Yan Fei said, ¡°What should I do then?¡±


    Miao Hong suggested, ¡°The area here is about to undergo demolition. Once negotiation starts, if the terms are right, I advise you to sign as soon as possible, take thepensation, and leave immediately. The other party can¡¯t do anything to you then. We will also ¡°Enhanced¡± patrols around the area to ensure Zhang Baocheng¡¯s people don¡¯t get an opportunity. For your safety, you should also avoid going out unnecessarily for the time being. Once this period is over, things will get better.¡±


    Feeling somewhat helpless, Yan Fei could only nod in agreement to their advice. He only asked Huang Pu and Miao Hong to help investigate whether the middle-aged woman was from the family that had theirnd upied thirty years ago, to which Huang Pu and Miao Hong agreed.


    As they were leaving, Huang Pu asked Yan Fei about a recent issue: whether he had noticed a ck Drone in the vicinity. Huang Pu showed him a blurred photo of the Drone from the ¡°Surveince Camera¡±. Yan Fei was startled to recognize it as his own ¡°Drone Avatar¡±. Due to the lighting and color, the photo was unclear, showing that the police had indeed started investigating the Drone case. Consequently, he resolutely shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing about it.


    Around three in the afternoon, Yan Fei heard loud wailing outside again. When he went to check, he saw the middle-aged woman with the young boy reappear, still disheveled and sitting on the ground, crying bitterly. This time, a white banner with ck writing was stretched out at the scene, reading, ¡°Return mynd, I need to survive, I need to eat!¡±


    Soon enough, onlookers gathered once more. Seeing the crowd, the middle-aged woman cried even more heart-renderingly, and theings and goings of some of Yan Fei¡¯s tenants were greatly affected.


    Yan Fei went downstairs, pulled out some evidence documents he had just photocopied, showed them to the middle-aged woman, and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know who you are, but this house came into my father¡¯s possession throughpletely legal means. So please, stop making trouble here.¡±


    The middle-aged woman was taken aback at the sight of the documents, but she immediately pounced on Yan Fei, clung to his legs, and cried out, ¡°I don¡¯t know what these are, I only know your family oppressed us and took thend we depended on for survival. Give me back mynd¡­ ¡±


    Yan Fei tried to pull his leg free, but the middle-aged woman held on tight and did not budge. He looked around at the crowd of onlookers and said, ¡°If you feel your rights have been vited, you can sue me in court.¡±

 Chapter 11 - 6 Hot Issue_3

    Chapter 11: Chapter 6 Hot Issue_3


    The middle-aged woman shouted loudly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to the court; you and those judges are in cahoots, colluding to bully us, themon folk.¡± Then she turned to the onlookers and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you all think this makes sense?¡±


    The bystanders started to feel there was some logic to her words and began nodding.


    Seeing the middle-aged woman start to agitate the spectators, Yan Fei frowned, exerted force in his legs, broke free from the woman, and returned home. He called the police again, and Huang Pu and Miao Hong arrived once more, dispersed the crowd, and then took the middle-aged woman and the little boy to the police station for questioning.


    In the evening, Yan Fei received news that the middle-aged woman, named Wang Xiaohong, was indeed rted to the neighbors who had moved away years before. It turned out that the family hadter contracted a severe contagious disease and almost all had perished, leaving only Wang Xiaohong, and the little boy was indeed her grandson. Once at the police station, Wang Xiaohong¡¯s attitude underwent aplete change, cooperating with the police in every way. After receiving legal education from the police, Wang Xiaohong, havingpleted her statement, left with the child.


    Yan Fei was greatly vexed; he hadn¡¯t expected the trouble-making middle-aged woman to truly be from that family. His father had taken only five square meters of theirnd years ago and had even paid a substantialpensation, which had been notarized. But now that they were causing trouble again, the situation was somewhat difficult to handle.


    Although China now governed ording to thew, during some civil disputes, practical situations and social impact were still considered, mainly relying on the parties themselves to negotiate a solution. Coupled with the widespread sympathy for the underdog, Wang Xiaohong appeared to be a weak party, single-handedly raising a little grandson, which inevitably made people want to help her.


    As Yan Fei feared, the videos that had been uploaded to the short video websites began to ferment. With the promptings of some with ulterior motives, several verified ount inte influencers joined in. They portrayed Wang Xiaohong¡¯s plight in the videos as unbearably tragic, disregarding the facts andpletely ignoring the several documents of evidence Yan Fei had presented, sharing them far and wide. This caused these videos to go viral, drawing arge crowd of people unaware of the truth, condemning the Yan Family, and sessfully turning the incident into a hot inte topic.


    The next day, Wang Xiaohong actually returned with the little boy. There were also dozens of so-called human rights fighters who had seen the videos on the inte and specially came from the city area to help the orphan and widow defend their rights. There was even awyer from some association who said he would help Wang Xiaohong sue Yan Fei for free.


    These people surrounded Yan Fei¡¯s building, holding banners that read ¡°Return our building, we need to eat,¡± and every time someone tried to enter or leave the building, they would swarm around them, shouting slogans into their ears, causing Yan Fei¡¯s residents much annoyance. Yan Fei called the police again and as soon as the officers arrived, these people distanced themselves from Yan Fei¡¯s courtyard, nodding repeatedly to the police warnings, but the moment the police left, they would gather again and chant slogans.


    On the third day, incredibly, three tenants requested to cancel their leases. Yan Fei observed coldly, promptly refunding the rental deposits and the remaining rent to these three tenants. L¨¹ Yangyang and Su Yan, on the other hand, showed great loyalty; they not onlyforted Yan Fei but also tried to help by mobilizing their colleagues to rify the facts on the inte. However, as minorpany clerks, what power did they have to dispel rumors? Facing the ferocious online army, they would be fortunate to escape without being viciously attacked.


    On the fifth day, Yan Fei hadpletely mastered the new strength within his body. Meanwhile, the mor for the building outside grew more intense, with the addition of many so-called justice advocates and inte live-streamers looking to gain attention, as well as a number of fierce-looking tattooed men. Although these people quickly disappeared when the police arrived, as soon as the officers left, they would reappear, loudly cursing at Yan Fei¡¯s building and even sshing red paint on the building¡¯s walls, inscribing slogans such as ¡°Unscrupulous profiteer, return my building, I demand my rights.¡±


    But while their slogans were loud, none truly brought a case against Yan Fei to the court, which left him profoundly disappointed, as he had hoped to resolve the issue through legal channels.

 Chapter 12 - 7: Take the Initiative

    Chapter 12: Chapter 7: Take the Initiative


    That night, Yan Fei received a strange call on his mobile phone. He was about to hang up but decided to answer after a second thought. Zhang Baocheng¡¯s voice came through.


    ¡°Mr. Yan, this is Zhang Baocheng. How have you been recently?¡±


    Yan Fei responded coldly, ¡°You¡¯re too kind to worry, I¡¯m very well!¡±


    Zhang Baochengughed, ¡°That¡¯s good to hear. I¡¯m just worried someone might disturb you, and that would be unfortunate. As you know, the world isn¡¯t all that peaceful. There might be idents from time to time, like a house catching fire or getting hit by a car while walking down the street. By the way, if you need help with anything, feel free to ask me. Don¡¯t be polite; I¡¯d be more than happy to solve your problems.¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°Thanks for your generous offer, Mr. Zhang, but I haven¡¯t had any idents, nor do I need your help with anything. Your call today couldn¡¯t have been just to check on me, right?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng chuckled, ¡°Mr. Yan, we¡¯ve met once, which makes us friends, and I¡¯m always kind to friends. So, you should consider the proposal I made earlier. If I buy your house, your trouble bes my trouble, and I can resolve it quickly without leaving a trace.¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°Mr. Zhang, I wasn¡¯t aware that real estatepanies also had the ability to solve other people¡¯s troubles. And from the sound of it, you seem to have a lot of clout. Could it be that you moonlight as a policeman?¡±


    Zhang Baochengughed heartily, ¡°Mr. Yan is joking. I¡¯m just a small businessman engaged in legitimate business, nowhere near as capable as a policeman. Don¡¯t be fooled; ourpany may be in real estate, but we have connections in various ces, especially when ites to dealing with troublemakers. It¡¯s something we have a lot of experience in. Just think, there¡¯s arge crowd gathered around your house, and their demands are not being met, which could trigger their emotions. Once emotions are provoked, people might act irrationally, and then, unfortunately, bad things can happen. If someone starts leading the charge, it¡¯s possible that there could be a mob event with vandalism, looting, and arson. If things escte, there might even be casualties, and even if not, it¡¯s still bad to, let¡¯s say, get a broken hand or leg¡­¡±


    Yan Fei didn¡¯t let Zhang Baocheng finish; he hung up the phone, fully aware that Zhang Baocheng was officially starting to exert pressure on him. The incident with Wang Xiaohong was just an appetizer, barely enough to ruffle Yan Fei¡¯s feathers, at most causing him a bit of annoyance. After all, his house¡¯s paperwork was all in order, and even if there werewsuits, no one would genuinely support Wang Xiaohong¡¯s ims. Therefore, her making a fuss was nothing more than a futile effort, aplete waste of energy.


    Zhang Baocheng making a personal call that day meant that things had moved to the second phase. If Yan Fei¡¯s calctions were correct, he would soon have to face physical violence, likely executed by those tattooed brutes. The pretext would surely be helping the pitiful granny and grandkid outside, with everyone bing righteously indignant, losing control of their emotions in a spur of the moment, and trashing Yan Fei¡¯s house¡ªperhaps even breaking his limbs and setting a fire. With theirrge numbers and seemingly legitimate excuse, the police would at most detain the rioters for a while, and the ringleader might end up in jail, but Zhang Baocheng would remain untouched. It seemed that Zhang Baocheng had done this many times and was quite experienced.


    If someone else were in this situation, those who were timid might choose to keep the peace, while the bold might negotiate a better price before taking the money and leaving. But Yan Fei would not react that way. He was a man who preferred to deal with problems head-on rather than take a more indirect approach, especially since he had just gained immense power. Naturally, he would choose to confront his adversary directly and release the pent-up fury in his chest.


    Yan Fei didn¡¯t take the drama unfolding downstairs too seriously; he knew it was just a facade. The core of the entire issue was Zhang Baocheng. Without his orders, the charade wouldn¡¯t end. Solving the problem with Zhang Baocheng meant all other issues would be resolved easily.


    Yan Fei had held back from acting until now, which may have seemed like helplessness, but it didn¡¯t mean he had no way to counter the opponent¡¯s offense. He had been pondering his countermeasures while getting ustomed to his power, collecting various items, and storing them in the Universal Space. Now that everything was ready and Zhang Baocheng had made his threatening move, it was time for Yan Fei to strike back.


    Yan Fei¡¯s method of retaliation was simpleunch an offensive and disrupt Zhang Baocheng¡¯s operations. Remaining passively defensive and waiting for the enemy¡¯s attack would never solve any problems.


    Before, Yan Fei had intended to monitor Wang Xiaohong and those tattooed brutes, hoping to capture some behind-the-scenes footage of the incident with a drone and post it online to turn the unfavorable situation around. However, Wang Xiaohong and the tattooed thugs always left before six o¡¯clock in the evening, when it was still daylight. It was impossible for Yan Fei to deploy the drone for surveince at that time since the police were still investigating a drone-rted injury, and a drone seen in daylight would be very likely to be exposed. And once the drone was exposed, the consequences would be endless. But by the time night fell and the drone could be deployed, Yan Fei had no idea where they lived, so he had been unable to monitor them or capture any explosive behind-the-scenes footage.


    Lately, Yan Fei adjusted his investigative approach and set his sights on Zhang Baocheng. He first located Zhang Baocheng¡¯spany¡¯s address online, and after nightfall, heunched the drone for reconnaissance. Fortunately, Zhang Baocheng¡¯spany was less than 10 kilometers from Yan Fei¡¯s home, meaning that Yan Fei could observe Zhang Baocheng¡¯s every move from thefort of his house through the drone.


    Through recent experiments, Yan Fei hade to understand the endurance capabilities of the drone. Due to an increase in size, the drone consumed 5 energy points per minute of high-speed flight, so its endurance was reduced to about 1-2 hours. Although it still did not meet Yan Fei¡¯s expectations,pared to the previous version, the upgraded drone was already powerful enough to help him with many tasks.


    Zhang Baocheng¡¯s real estatepany was indeed busy with frequent overtime, so it wasmon to see Zhang Baocheng at thepany even at night. When the drone discovered Zhang Baocheng, it would hide in the darkness and record his actions. However, Zhang Baocheng was extremely cautious inside thepany and never discussed illegal matters there. He discussed everything at home with his confidants, so during this time, Yan Fei didn¡¯t collect any useful information. On the surface, Honglou Real Estate Company appeared to be aw-abiding enterprise, and Zhang Baocheng himself seemed like a squeaky-clean, legitimate businessman, at most involved in some ambiguous rtionships with a few secretaries. No wonder the relevant departments couldn¡¯t pin anything on him all these years, allowing him to remain atrge.


    However, through conversations between Zhang Baocheng and his subordinates, Yan Fei learned of Zhang Baocheng¡¯s home address. Zhang¡¯s home was more than ten kilometers away from Yan Fei¡¯s location, beyond the maximum control range of the Drone Avatar. Since Yan Fei had been keeping a low profile and rarely left his hometely, he hadn¡¯t sent the drone to keep watch.


    But when Yan Fei determined to resolve the issue with Zhang Baocheng once and for all, he decided to take the initiative. He nned to control the drone to Zhang Baocheng¡¯s home for surveince, hoping to find conclusive evidence of Zhang Baocheng¡¯s illegal activities there, which he would then hand over to the police. Once the police had evidence of Zhang Baocheng¡¯s crimes, they would be able to make an arrest, and once Zhang was in custody, it was unlikely he would be released. In this way, Yan Fei would eliminate the threat posed by Zhang Baocheng, achieve a decisive blow, and ensure his own safety.


    At ten o¡¯clock in the evening, Yan Fei left his home driving his minivan, which also contained arge box housing the Drone Avatar. He entered Zhang Baocheng¡¯s residential address into his mobile phone, then followed the map navigation as he drove. The minivan quickly left the urban area. This was Shanghai, where even the rural highways were busy with traffic. Only after more than half an hour did the vehicles on the highway start to thin out, and following the navigation, Yan Fei arrived at a ce surrounded by mountains and water, with a solo vi, secluded from any other houses. The map showed that this detached vi was Zhang Baocheng¡¯s home. The vi¡¯s Feng Shui seemed favorable, nestled against a mountain, backed by a forest, facing argeke.


    By eleven o¡¯clock at night, Zhang Baocheng should have finished work and gone home. Yan Fei double-checked the address and then parked his minivan by the side of the road at the foot of the mountain. He opened the box and released the Drone Avatar within.


    The Drone Avatar took to the air lightly, flew through the car window, and soared into the sky, heading toward Zhang Baocheng¡¯s vi. The upgraded Drone Avatar, althoughrger in size, was much more agile and faster than before. Yan Fei sat in the driver¡¯s seat, switching his view to the Drone Avatar, controlling the drone to fly over theke and toward the distant vi.


    As he approached the vi, Yan Fei realized how vast its grounds were. Although it was only three stories high, the vi had arge number of rooms and a spacious parking area, with a tall wall encircling its perimeter, clearly indicating its high value.


    The vi had stringent security, with two guard posts set up around it, each with personnel on duty, as well as security patrols with guard dogs making regr rounds. In the dark corners, there was a multitude of surveince cameras installed. Even more exaggerated was the fact that searchlights had been mounted on the vi¡¯s top, sweeping around asionally. The whole vi looked as impregnable as arge bunker.


    Yan Fei was thankful in his heart. Without the Drone Avatar, it would be truly challenging for an ordinary person to infiltrate such a ce. The drone kept flying at an altitude of 200 meters, its all-ck body carefully avoiding the searchlight beams, so it remained undetected by the vi¡¯s guards.

 Chapter 13 - 8 Mysterious Organization

    Chapter 13: Chapter 8 Mysterious Organization


    The Drone quietly flew over the vi, its HD Camera rotating 360 degrees, beginning the search for Zhang Baocheng¡¯s figure.


    The upgraded Drone Surveince Camera, althoughcking infrared capabilities, had reached the pinnacle in optical imaging technology. At night, with just a bit of light,bined with its automatic light enhancement technology, the entire scene could be presented clearly. At the same time, the drone¡¯s sound collection system had grown even more sensitive; the minute sounds from a hundred meters away could be collected, and it could even automatically filter out background noise, analyzing the original sounds.


    Armed with such powerful detection methods and the faint moonlight tonight, the entire vi waspletely under Yan Fei¡¯s control. The vi¡¯s guards focused mainly on the ground; searchlights rarely illuminated the sky, and nobody ever thought there was a Drone flying overhead, observing them.


    It was already past eleven, and most of the rooms in the vi were dark, with only a sliver of light peeking through a crack in a window on the top floor. The Drone carefully lowered its altitude, then flew over and hovered outside the window, finding it tightly shut, the sliver of light seeping through a gap in the room¡¯s curtains. Thus, the drone¡¯s HD Camera started adjusting, and through the tiny gap in the curtains, Yan Fei actually managed to see the scene inside the room.


    Several people were sitting inside the room, one of them was indeed Zhang Baocheng. The burly man beside him was none other than Second Xie, while on the other side sat an abnormally gaunt young man, who seemed as if he hadn¡¯t woken up fully. Facing them was Wang Xiaohong, the middle-aged woman who often came to Yan Fei¡¯s home wailing and causing a scene.


    Seeing that middle-aged woman Wang Xiaohong in Zhang Baocheng¡¯s house, Yan Fei finally confirmed that she was sent by Zhang Baocheng, and all this was Zhang Baocheng¡¯s doing behind the scenes.


    Inside the room, Zhang Baocheng looked very angry, nothing like his amiable self at the Company, and he shouted loudly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you people? After so long, that Yan Fei doesn¡¯t show any sign of submission?¡±


    Second Xie responded, ¡°Brother Cheng, that Yan Fei is like a stone in a ditch, stinky and hard, and he reports to the police at the drop of a hat. You won¡¯t let us use Martial Force to intimidate him, so without any deterrent, of course, he won¡¯t easily submit.¡±


    Zhang Baocheng frowned and said, ¡°It is a critical time now. I told you not to use Martial Force because I don¡¯t want you to make a big deal of this and then get burned, implicating ourselves. But we are also pressed for time and can¡¯t keep waiting. Starting tomorrow, find a few fierce-looking men from Marquis, pretend to be Second Aunt¡¯s distant rtives, and make sure to teach that kid a lesson. He won¡¯t submit until he has suffered. The demolition project is approaching the negotiation and signing phase, and I worry about unexpected problems. His building is worth at least 100 million; we simply can¡¯t miss out on that.¡±


    Second Aunt, who went to Yan Fei¡¯s home to cause amotion, said, ¡°Boss Zhang, when you sought me out for help, you said once I aplish the task, the benefits you promised me can¡¯t be less!¡±


    Zhang Baocheng replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as long as you handle this matter, the one million we promised you won¡¯t be a penny short.¡±


    Second Aunt seemed very happy and said, ¡°Rest assured, Boss Zhang, I¡¯ll visit that Yan tomorrow. I¡¯ll find a chance to get in his room, then initiate physical contact with him, and as soon as there¡¯s an opportunity for physical contact, I will tear my clothes and shout that he¡¯s indecently assaulting me. Then your men can rush in and give him a good beating.¡±


    Second Xie said disdainfully, ¡°Yan Fei, indecently assaulting you? Even if your acting is convincing, who would believe that?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng red at Second Xie and said, ¡°You don¡¯t care what others think, we just need an excuse. Understand? All we need is an excuse. Does the specific nature of the excuse matter?¡±


    No longer daring to question, Second Xie asked, ¡°Brother Cheng, are we really going to beat him up hard?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng turned and pped him, angrily saying, ¡°Are you stupid? We¡¯re here for the money, not tomit murder, so why should we really beat him? What if he gets injured and hides in the Hospital? Who will we go to for a signature then? This time, it¡¯s just to scare him. When hitting him, avoid his vital parts, but we must make him feel the pain.¡±


    Second Xie said, ¡°That guy works out often, has some brute strength; I even suffered a bit in a tussle with him before. I¡¯ve long been displeased with him and thought I could give him a proper lesson!¡±


    Zhang Baocheng consoled his subordinate, saying, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it after this blows over. Once we have the money, I won¡¯t care what you do to him. You can dispose of him any way you like, even killing him wouldn¡¯t bother me. That kid dared to reject me several times, giving me no face at all. I¡¯ve wanted to deal with him for a long time. When the timees, give him a few extra chops for me.¡±


    The voices of the people in the room weren¡¯t loud, but the Drone¡¯s audio collection Equipment captured everything clearly. And upon hearing the sinister ns discussed in that room, Yan Fei broke out in a cold sweat, never expecting to overhear such a ruthless scheme.


    This n was simply too vicious. Had Yan Fei not heard it with his own ears, he might well have fallen for their Trap. And then, like a mute who has eaten bitter herbs, he would have too much misery for words. How terrible his fate might be, Yan Fei could perfectly imagine. Meanwhile, Zhang Baocheng proved to be cruel and merciless, wanting Yan Fei¡¯s life simply because of past rejections, using such a venomous scheme just for his real estate, disregarding Yan Fei¡¯s lifepletely. Had Yan Fei been an ordinary person, his end would have been utterly tragic.


    For the first time in his life, Yan Fei felt the urge to kill someone. This Zhang Baocheng was not only after his fortune but also wanted his life, using such poisonous stratagems for his property, treating his life as nothing. If Yan Fei were just an ordinary person, his end would have been exceptionally grim.


    Zhang Baocheng, Second Xie, and Second Aunt continued to discuss, revising and improving the n, how to allocate personnel, and how to deal a fatal blow to Yan Fei¡­


    It wasn¡¯t until half an hourter that the few of them finished their discussion. Second Aunt stood up to take her leave, and Second Xie escorted her out. Only Zhang Baocheng and the slim young man remained in the room; thetter hadn¡¯t spoken a word, looking sleepy-eyed and about to doze off.


    Zhang Baocheng turned and asked, ¡°Xiao Kong, do you have any news from over there this time?¡±


    The slim man named Xiao Kong finally spoke up, his Mandarin not very standard, ¡°They said to keep lying low, not to cause any trouble, lest you dy their important matters.¡±


    Zhang Baocheng chuckled, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to meddle either, but that kid actually has such wealth. I feel like I¡¯m missing out if I don¡¯t make a move, as the saying goes ¡®to not take when given is to bring trouble upon oneself¡¯. But rest assured, this matter will be resolved quickly, I guarantee it won¡¯t interfere with their main event.¡±


    Xiao Kong said, ¡°Remember, those inte influencers and expert resources you control are not yours, they belong to the Organization. You¡¯re just managing them, so don¡¯t let them take action rashly and risk exposing themselves. Your using them to manipte public opinion against Yan Fei likely has already caught the higher-ups¡¯ attention.¡±


    Zhang Baocheng offered an awkward smile and said, ¡°This was just a one-time thing, I guarantee I won¡¯t arbitrarily utilize their power from now on.¡±


    Xiao Kong said, ¡°They are pawns in the hands of the Organization, poised to y a significant role in the future. They can only publicize content provided by the Organization. Your job is to maintain their rtionships and grow their influence. You know, if the Organization¡¯s mission fails because of you, you¡¯re well aware how dire your consequences would be.¡±


    Zhang Baocheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, ¡°I understand that, please convey to the Organization that I will absolutely work hard for them and ensure thepletion of any task given by the Organization.¡±


    Yan Fei was shocked; he hadn¡¯t expected to overhear such information. Zhang Baocheng was actually part of a Mysterious Organization, and those inte influencers and experts were under hismand to nder him¡ªit seemed like there was some plot at y. Xiao Kong appeared to have a high status within the Organization, and Zhang Baocheng was very wary of him, speaking cautiously.


    Xiao Kong said, ¡°That¡¯s for the best, as long as you work well for the Organization, you won¡¯tck future benefits.¡±


    Zhang Baocheng nodded repeatedly and said, ¡°It¡¯s my duty.¡±


    Xiao Kong inquired, ¡°I¡¯m curious, after it¡¯s all over, will you really give Second Aunt the million?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng snorted coldly, ¡°That woman is not only greedy but also vicious. How could I possibly give her so much money? People like her have one weakness¡ªthey¡¯re afraid of dying. So, if she knows what¡¯s good for her after things are done, then all is well. But if she causes trouble, I wouldn¡¯t mind making her disappear.¡±


    Xiao Kong chuckled, said nothing more, then took something out of his pocket and asked, ¡°You¡¯ve seen a lot around here; tell me, do you recognize what this is?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng took the item from Xiao Kong¡¯s hand and inspected it closely.


    Yan Fei grew curious, but the angle was slightly off, and the Drone couldn¡¯t see clearly what it was. So, the Drone cautiously turned to another side, preparing to adjust the angle to inspect the item. Out of the blue, a gust of wind arose, and Yan Fei, caught off guard, couldn¡¯t control the Drone. The Drone swayed in the wind and identally hit the outside wall of the window, making a faint noise.


    Inside the room, Xiao Kong¡¯s ears twitched; he actually heard the faint sound outside. He snatched the item back from Zhang Baocheng¡¯s hands and took a quick step to the window, pulling back the curtain to see the Drone hovering outside the window.


    Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and swiftly raised the Drone, ready to leave the ce. Xiao Kong punched out, shattering the window ss, and as he stuck his head out, he saw the Drone ascending. Xiao Kong sneered and casually grabbed a chair, hurling it at the ascending Drone.


    As the Drone was rapidly climbing, it saw the chair flying toward it. Yan Fei initially didn¡¯t pay it much mind, but to his astonishment, the chair pursued the Drone with incredible speed, catching up with it in the air. The Drone hastily tried to dodge but couldn¡¯tpletely avoid it and was hit squarely by the chair.


    Yan Fei, careless for a moment, felt the Drone Avatar suffer damage for the first time. And Yan Fei, who was physically linked to the Drone Avatar, immediately felt a surge of intense pain, as if his own body had been struck by the chair.

 Chapter 14 - 9: Martial Arts Master

    Chapter 14: Chapter 9: Martial Arts Master


    Xiao Kong¡¯s astonishing throw hit the Drone flying at an altitude of fifty or sixty meters, revealing his incredible strength. For the first time, the Drone Avatar was damaged, causing Yan Fei¡¯s actual body to also experience the pain of injury.


    Although Yan Fei felt the pain, in the blink of an eye, it had vanished. When he came to his senses, he discovered that his Drone Avatar had sustained severe damage.


    Under the attack of the chair, the Drone¡¯s weapon system was damaged and could no longer fire Steel Ball Bullets. Two of the four propellers on top were damaged and unable to rotate, and the remaining two were also malfunctioning. The Drone could still fly, but it was no longer able to maintain bnce. Fortunately, the Drone¡¯s power had not vanished; it could still continue to fly.


    Yan Fei¡¯s actual body, in the Minivan at the foot of the hill, suddenly opened his eyes, yanked open the car door, and quickly ran toward the mountainous area behind Zhang Baocheng¡¯s vi, while the damaged Drone staggered toward the same area.


    Yan Fei had truly been careless this time. In his pursuit of insider information, he had let down his guard and significantly reduced the Drone¡¯s altitude. He hadn¡¯t expected that someone from the organization behind Zhang Baocheng could hit his high-flying Drone Avatar with a chair and cause it serious injury.


    The Drone Avatar was Yan Fei¡¯s greatest reliance, and naturally, he wouldn¡¯t allow it to be destroyed just like that. So, he controlled the Drone to fly toward the mountains, and his actual body also went to rendezvous with it.


    Xiao Kong saw that the Drone was injured but had not crashed; instead, it was flying away, albeit wobblingly. He snorted coldly, leaped, and jumped down from the third floor. His bodynded heavily on the ground, his knees bending slightly to dissipate the immense impact force, leaving himpletely unharmed, then he chased in the direction the Drone had flown.


    In the room, Zhang Baocheng¡¯s face was ashen. Always cautious, he hadn¡¯t expected his private conversation to be captured by the Drone. He didn¡¯t know how long the Drone had been secretly filming, or what had been recorded, but just thinking about the consequences of some words being leaked made him shudder.


    With this in mind, Zhang Baocheng immediately picked up thendline phone and instructed the vi¡¯s security to follow Xiao Kong and chase after the Drone. They had to ensure that the Drone was thoroughly destroyed and its Storage Card recovered and then destroyed. If possible, they should also capture the person nearby who was controlling the Drone and bring him back.


    Although Zhang Baocheng had made arrangements, he was still somewhat uneasy. His vi was on high security alert, especially concerning information security. The Vi District was always under an Electronic Barrier, which meant that he could only usendline phones formunication even inside. Supposedly, external Electromaic Signals shouldn¡¯t be received in the Vi District, so how did the Drone fly in and film them?


    As Yan Fei¡¯s actual body swiftly ran on the ground, he also controlled the damaged Drone to fly into the forested mountains behind to meet up with him. The Drone was heavily damaged and looked like it was about to fall apart. If Yan Fei wasn¡¯t directly controlling it, it would have crashed a long time ago. As the Drone flew into the mountains, the 360-degree Surveince Camera suddenly spotted Xiao Kong, who was rapidly pursuing on the ground.


    Xiao Kong looked thin, his appearance lethargic as if he had not fully woken up, but with each step on the ground, he could cover a distance of five meters, and he could leap over three meters high. His speed was incredibly fast. The high walls outside the vi seemed nonexistent to him as he jumped over them with ease. The Drone flew in a straight line above while he pursued over the uneven terrain below, yet he was closing the distance between them. Even though the Drone¡¯s speed had significantly decreased due to damage, this only highlighted how fast Xiao Kong was.


    Upon seeing Xiao Kong¡¯s physical prowess, Yan Fei was greatly startled. It was the first time he had encountered such a formidable person in reality. The term ¡°Martial Arts Master¡± suddenly came to his mind. Weren¡¯t Martial Arts Masters fictional characters from novels and movies? How could they exist in reality? Could it be that this world really had Martial Arts Masters?


    Yan Fei was sprinting on the ground; his physical condition, after undergoing two modifications, was four times what it had been before. Once he burst into full speed, he was almost as fast as a whirlwind, barely slower than Xiao Kong. He controlled his Drone Avatar to fly toward his location, hoping to intercept it before it crashed, preventing it from falling into Xiao Kong¡¯s hands.


    Finally, Yan Fei entered the forest, and the Drone Avatar also spotted its actual body from the air. It then started flying toward Yan Fei¡¯s location. Watching the Drone Avatar wobbling toward him, Yan Fei was extremely nervous, fearing that it would just crash. He decided that once he retrieved the Drone, he would immediately return to the car at the bottom of the mountain and then leave the area. As for the Drone¡¯s injuries, he wasn¡¯t worried at all because, as soon as midnight struck, the Virtual Control Screen would fully refresh and under the influence of the Mysterious Power, all of the Drone¡¯s injuries would automatically heal and it would be as good as new.


    The Drone had captured enough explosive news tonight, and if he uploaded the video to the Inte, exposing Wang Xiaohong¡¯s true nature, the online attacks against him woulde to an abrupt end. And Zhang Baocheng¡¯s involvement with the Mysterious Organization would be enough for him to be invited by state security to ¡°have tea,¡± likely never to be seen again, and this time, no one would take the fall for him. In this way, Yan Fei would perfectly resolve his trouble.


    And just as the drone was about tond in front of Yan Fei, a stone suddenly flew up from a distance, hitting the wobbling Drone Avatar right in the middle. The Drone Avatar emitted a crisp sound as its power faded, and then it could no longer hold on, plummeting down.


    The Drone Avatar was damaged again, causing Yan Fei to feel a burst of pain throughout his body, though it disappeared quickly. He realized that the stone must have been thrown by Xiao Kong, who was following behind him. He had no idea how Xiao Kong had practiced, but the throw was not only far but also incredibly urate.


    Fortunately, the ce where the drone crashed was not far from Yan Fei¡¯s location. He quickly ran to the crash site, where he saw the drone had crashed into the top of arge tree, with the body of the drone severely damaged. Although it hadn¡¯t fallen apart, it was in standby mode and could no longer be controlled. He ran, climbed the tree using his arms and legs, took down the drone, and then jumped off.


    While Yan Fei was still in mid-air, he caught a blur from the corner of his eye as a figure suddenly darted out of the darkness, sweeping a leg around. Yan Fei struggled to dodge, but it was still toote, and his abdomen was fiercely kicked by the figure.


    A wave of intense pain emanated from his abdomen, and Yan Fei let out a loud roar as blood sprayed from his mouth. He was then sent flying by the immense force, his body hurtling backward until it hit the trunk of anotherrge tree, then he slid down weakly andy motionless on the ground.


    In just a brief encounter, Yan Fei was sessfully taken by surprise and suffered severe injuries, losing hisbat power. Hisck of experience and absence of any fighting background contributed to this. He never knew that martial arts masters truly existed in the world, so he had never anticipated that one day he would be fighting hand-to-hand. Although his body possessed great strength, he had not been guided by a skilled master to unlock this power, so it was not surprising that he was so easily injured.


    Seeing that Yan Fei couldn¡¯t move, the figure finally stood still. Under the faint moonlight, it was none other than Xiao Kong who had chased him out of the room. At this moment, his body was tensed, his muscles twitching like a fierce tiger ready to pounce, and though he still appeared thin, he seemed like a giant, instilling fear in anyone who saw him.


    Xiao Kong, seeing Yan Fei lying motionless, allowed a cold smile to appear on his lips as he approached. Suddenly elerating towards Yan Fei, he delivered another kick that sent Yan Fei flying high into the air, his body tumbling through the air as he violently spat out blood, then once again he hit the ground and rolled several times, unmoving.


    Unlike the inexperienced Yan Fei, Xiao Kong was a true veteran of the Jianghu. Confident in his own strength, he nheless refrained from blind optimism, always maintaining vignce against his enemies. This was how he could strike suddenly, kicking an immobilized opponent when they least expected it. After hitting Yan Fei for the second time and seeing no reaction, Xiao Kong finally rxedpletely. He approached Yan Fei who was still cradling the drone in his arms, bent down, and took it away.


    It was at that moment that Yan Fei suddenly opened his eyes, viciously ring at Xiao Kong.


    Xiao Kong was startled, realizing he had been tricked. He immediately threw away the drone and tried to quickly retreat, but at this close distance, his movements were not as fast as Yan Fei¡¯s. Yan Fei¡¯s arms stretched out like lightning, circling behind Xiao Kong and locking together, then he exerted his strength, fiercely enveloping Xiao Kong in his grasp.


    Yan Fei, although seriously injured, was notpletely devoid ofbat ability due to his body having been transformed by a mysterious power. Upon realizing that Xiao Kong was a martial arts master, he knew he couldn¡¯t match his opponent, so he yed along, pretending to be dead. Only by doing so could he unexpectedly get close to Xiao Kong and use his body¡¯s formidable physical condition to grapple with him. This was his only chance for survival. Otherwise, in a head-to-head fight with a skilled martial arts master, even with his strong body, Yan Fei would be beaten to death.


    What Yan Fei did not expect was that Xiao Kong would be so cautious, still delivering an extra kick even when Yan Feiy motionless, and only approaching after seeing no movement. And Yan Fei also understood this was a critical moment, enduring the pain and taking the blow without any reaction.


    Xiao Kong had never imagined that Yan Fei¡¯s physical condition was so robust, far exceeding that of ordinary people. He had been injured twice but had notpletely lost his fighting ability. Xiao Kong, gauging Yan Fei¡¯s injuries based on the endurance of a normal person, had thus fallen right into Yan Fei¡¯s ploy.


    Yan Fei stood up, firmly holding Xiao Kong in his embrace. He let out a furious roar, forcefully squeezing his arms inward. Xiao Kong¡¯s entire body was gripped by excruciating pain, and being shorter, he was lifted off the ground by Yan Fei, leaving him without leverage and his arms trapped, rendering him incapable of any movement, his martial arts skills useless.

 Chapter 15 - 10: Fight for Life and Death

    Chapter 15: Chapter 10: Fight for Life and Death


    Yan Fei wrapped his arms around Xiao Kong and then squeezed with all his might. Xiao Kong struggled desperately but to no avail.


    As Yan Fei¡¯s arms squeezed tighter, the bones in Xiao Kong¡¯s body began to emit a crisp cracking sound, and the air in his lungs became increasingly scarce. Xiao Kong started to have difficulty breathing, and the severe oxygen deficiency made his vision go dark. Just then, Xiao Kong threw his head back and suddenly lunged forward with a headbutt, hitting Yan Fei right in the face.


    A wave of intense pain struck Yan Fei¡¯s face, seeing stars and even feeling a sense of dizziness, which nearly made him let go. But Yan Fei knew that this was a matter of life and death. He forced himself to be spirited, to wake up. Not only did he not let go, he held on even tighter.


    Xiao Kong¡¯s headbutt was ineffective, but he was not discouraged. He arched his head back, ready for a second attempt.


    But Yan Fei had learned his lesson and tilted his head back, out of Xiao Kong¡¯s reach, making it impossible for Xiao Kong tond another headbutt. However, this allowed Yan Fei¡¯s grip to loosen slightly, and Xiao Kong, with his extensive experience, immediately noticed a bit of space to maneuver at his feet. He jabbed downward with the tip of his foot, hitting Yan Fei¡¯s leg. Yan Fei felt an excruciating pain in his leg and almost let go. Although he still clung to Xiao Kong, his grip began to weaken.


    Witnessing the effectiveness of his kick, Xiao Kong delivered a second one. Yan Fei¡¯s leg was hit again, and under the severe pain, his grip strength decreased further. As it decreased, Xiao Kong¡¯s range of movement grewrger. By this point, Yan Fei realized that he could no longer fully control Xiao Kong¡¯s body. If Xiao Kong broke free, the situation would quickly turn against him, possibly resulting in him being beaten to death by Xiao Kong.


    But Yan Fei would not just wait to die. He quickly surveyed the surroundings and spotted a sharp stone nearby. At that moment, Xiao Kong¡¯s third attack struck his leg again. Yan Fei did not let go; he endured the intense pain and, with his arms still around Xiao Kong, mmed fiercely towards that stone.


    A loud ¡°thud¡± sounded as the two men crashed onto the stone, the sharp edge hitting Xiao Kong¡¯s back. Xiao Kong felt an intense pain in his back, his strength draining away in an instant, leaving him powerless to resist any longer.


    Yan Fei saw that Xiao Kong¡¯s resistance had faded and was overjoyed. He stepped back and then lunged forward again with all his might, the sharp stone hitting Xiao Kong¡¯s back once more. Xiao Kong¡¯s body shuddered, hit by the sharp stone again.


    However, to Yan Fei¡¯s surprise, after being struck by the sharp stone for the second time, Xiao Kong seemed to explode with anger. An immense power surged within him, almost strong enough to break free from Yan Fei¡¯s arms. Shocked, Yan Fei was about to m Xiao Kong against the sharp stone once more, but Xiao Kong struggled furiously. The immense power drove Yan Fei away from the sharp stone.


    Yan Fei was taken aback by this unexpected turn of events. He felt Xiao Kong¡¯s muscles begin to tremble violently. The shaking transmitted to his own body, causing his muscles also to tremble uncontrobly, making his body somewhat unresponsive. His hands started to loosen once again.


    rmed, Yan Fei had no idea what method Xiao Kong was using. He quickly looked around and spotted a ce to crash into, its impact more forceful than before. Xiao Kong had only been prepared for Yan Fei to push him towards the sharp stone, so he did not anticipate this sudden move. His body was then harshly mmed against arge tree, and simultaneously, an even more violent pain shot through him. Then he realized that a sharp tree branch had pierced through his back.


    It turned out that Yan Fei had noticed the sharp branches on the tree trunk. He had smashed Xiao Kong into it, and the branch, like a spear, had stabbed into Xiao Kong¡¯s body, inflicting a very serious injury.


    This time, Xiao Kong had sustained a serious injury. He became truly enraged. He had originally thought that Yan Fei was just a petty thief who he could easily dispatch with a wave of his hand, but he had not expected his opponent to cause him so much trouble and to even inflict such a severe injury.


    With Xiao Kong seriously wounded, Yan Fei was about to strike again when suddenly, Xiao Kong bit his own tongue and spat a ¡°blood arrow¡± towards Yan Fei. Yan Fei was shocked; it was toote to dodge, and his eyes were hit by the blood arrow. He felt an acute pain in his eyes, and then blood flowed into his eye sockets, temporarily blinding him.


    Xiao Kong, using self-muttion, blinded Yan Fei and once again unleashed a fierce power in an attempt to break away from Yan Fei¡¯s hold. Although Yan Fei could not see, he could feel Xiao Kong¡¯s tremendous strength. If Xiao Kong managed to escape, Yan Fei would be doomed. So he steeled his heart, held onto Xiao Kong fiercely, and fell to the ground, starting to roll.


    They fell right onto a sharp rock; Yan Fei, temporarily blinded, failed to notice it and, after rolling over, his body mmed viciously against the jagged stone. Thebined weight of the two men was close to 300 kilograms, and with the speed of their rolling, the force of the impact was immense. The brutal collision almost knocked Yan Fei unconscious, and only then did he realize just how severe the injuries Xiao Kong had suffered must have been.


    Xiao Kong felt Yan Fei¡¯s strength suddenly weaken and was feeling pleased, but then he himself smashed violently into a sharp branch which pierced his body once more, aggravating his wounds. His own strength began to wane as well.


    They were in the mountains, where the ground was uneven, dotted with protruding sharp rocks and piercing tree branches. As they rolled, the two men would continuously hit against these jagged stones and sharp branches, covering their bodies with countless wounds. Blood flowed from their injuries, dyeing the path they rolled across a deep crimson.


    Yan Fei¡¯s whole body ached, feeling as if it might fall apart at any moment, but his vision was slowly returning and he began to make out some shapes around him.


    Yan Fei was in a terrible state, but Xiao Kong was even worse off. After all, Yan Fei was holding Xiao Kong and had maintained the initiative; once his vision began to recover, he deliberately avoided therger rocks while rolling. Xiao Kong, being in a passive position, kept colliding with the hard boulders, suffering even more damage than Yan Fei. Thus, as time went on, Xiao Kong¡¯s struggles became weaker and weaker.


    The two men continued to roll on the ground in a tight embrace, never expecting a cliff to suddenly appear ahead. Yan Fei couldn¡¯t stop in time and so, still holding Xiao Kong, they rolled down the cliff. Fortunately, the cliff wasn¡¯t very high, only about ten meters. But even at ten meters, the fall tore their flesh open. Luckily, in the moment before hitting the ground, Yan Fei managed to turn Xiao Kong beneath him. Using Xiao Kong as a cushion, he avoided even more serious harm.


    The impact of the fall was so great that Yan Fei could no longer restrain Xiao Kong; he let go of his hands, and the two finally separated. Below the cliff was a long slope where they couldn¡¯t stop themselves from continuing to tumble down until Yan Fei crashed into arge tree,ing to a halt. Xiao Kong kept rolling and stopped motionless at the bottom of a ditch.


    Yan Fei leaned against the tree, seeing stars, his body screaming in pain, unsure of how many injuries he had sustained or how much blood he had lost. It took quite a while before he could catch his breath. He then struggled to his feet, only to find Xiao Kong also somehow managing to stand up in the ditch below.


    Yan Fei, badly injured, found it difficult even to stand. Yet Xiao Kong, whose injuries were much worse than Yan Fei¡¯s, was standing as well, which made Yan Fei admire his incredible will. But Xiao Kong looked utterly wretched,cking his previous intimidating presence. His body was torn andcerated, wounds everywhere, his face a bloody, unrecognizable mess¡ªas if he were a man made of blood. But he seemed not to feel the pain, fiercely ring at Yan Fei and then starting to climb up toward him.


    Yan Fei was shocked; he hadn¡¯t expected Xiao Kong¡¯s vitality to be so stubborn, remaining active despite such grave injuries and still intent on attacking him. He turned and began to climb up the slope. Xiao Kong, terrifying even in his injured state, was someone Yan Fei did not dare underestimate, instinctively wanting to keep as much distance as possible between them. After all, he had no capability left to counterattack, and now that Xiao Kong was free, there was no telling what he could still do.


    Xiao Kong did something, and after a period of recuperation, his wounds began to heal rapidly, the gaping cuts tightening and the bleeding stopping. As time passed, his healing elerated; eventually, he stood up and started running uphill.


    Yan Fei was stunned,pletely unable toprehend how Xiao Kong, who seemed on the brink of death, suddenly became vigorous. This was beyond anything he could imagine.


    Xiao Kong ran up quickly, rapidly closing the distance between himself and Yan Fei. Yan Fei was anxious, but at this point, he was utterly drained of strength, effectively having nobat power left, unable to climb any further. Suddenly, Yan Fei noticed arge, round boulder below. This giant boulder, weathered by wind and rain, was rooted by only a section as thick as the mouth of a bowl. An idea struck him, and he curled his body, starting to roll downward,


    Yan Fei¡¯s body rapidly tumbled downward, gathering speed and then crashing fiercely against the round boulder. The tremendous force of the impact nearly knocked him unconscious. Under Yan Fei¡¯s collision, the ancient boulder, whose existence spanned ages unknown, wobbled downward. With bated breath, Yan Fei looked on as it rocked back into ce.


    Just as despair gripped Yan Fei¡¯s heart, the boulder teetered again. And with this movement, the base, asrge as the mouth of a bowl, cracked. Without its rooted base, the boulder began to roll downhill.


    Beneath was a funnel-shaped recess; with the boulder tumbling down, Xiao Kong had nowhere to hide. As it descended with great speed, Xiao Kong finally showed a change in his expression. He tried to leap upwards, hoping to jump over the boulder, but fell just short. Apanied by a scream, Xiao Kong was ultimately swept beneath. The boulder rolled over him and continued down to the bottom of the ditch, where itnded with a resounding ¡°boom,¡± kicking up a cloud of dust.

 Chapter 16 - 11: A Dream in a Southern Village

    Chapter 16: Chapter 11: A Dream in a Southern Vige


    As Yan Fei watched the massive boulder roll down with tremendous force, his heart secretly shuddered. Xiao Kong had been crushed under the rock, turned into a pulp; he surely could not have survived.


    Xiao Kong could be said to be the first person Yan Fei had ever killed in his life, but at this moment, there was no particr disturbance in his heart. After all, the man hadunched a sneak attack on him without warning and had even tried to kill him, leaving him severely injured. Such a person could be described with only one word: enemy. Faced with an enemy, Yan Fei naturally had to retaliate with full force. Otherwise, if Xiao Kong didn¡¯t die, he would have. Yan Fei was by no means a pushover, unwilling to show mercy to his enemies. He knew all too well that mercy towards an enemy was cruelty towards oneself. Moreover, Xiao Kong¡¯s formidable performance had caused Yan Fei to feel apprehensive, which is why he had no psychological barriers to killing him.


    However, upon seeing Xiao Kong¡¯s corpse, Yan Fei still felt somewhat emotional. Life is so impermanent; one moment, a person can be full of life, and the next, they¡¯ve be a pile of rotten flesh. So, what is the essence of life? What is the body that carries life? Where does the soul go after death?


    Yan Feiy on the ground, recovering his strength while reflecting on the transient nature of life. The mass of flesh crushed by the boulder on the slope suddenly moved, and then a hand emerged from the wreckage, pressing firmly against the ground. Then, a second hand appeared, also pressing on the ground. With the support of both hands, a head lifted from the mass of flesh. It was indeed Xiao Kong¡¯s head, and he had miraculously not died from such an ordeal.


    But Xiao Kong looked horrifying, his face a bloody mess, flesh ripped open revealing bone in some ces. His nose was gone, one of his eyeballs had burst, nearly all his teeth were missing, and blood continuously leaked from his mouth. A broken rib protruded from his chest, his stomach was torn open, his colorful intestines spilling out. His legs were twisted in a grotesque angle, obviously broken.


    With a ferocious re from his remaining eye, Xiao Kong red at Yan Fei, regardless of the blood dripping from his mouth. Dragging himself with his arms, he crawled towards Yan Fei, leaving a trail of blood behind, resembling a vengeful ghost returned from hell.


    Yan Fei was shocked and his flesh crawled. If he couldn¡¯t clearly feel the pain from his body, he might have thought he was dreaming, because this was simply too inconceivable. He had no idea what level of martial arts master Xiao Kong was, whose vitality was so strong that he could survive to such an extent. Thispletely overturned Yan Fei¡¯s worldview.


    Since Xiao Kong¡¯s sneak attack on him, Yan Fei had been getting injured, and the injuries were not light. He had been forcing himself to persevere during the life and death struggle until Xiao Kong was crushed by the boulder beforepletely rxing. With that rxation, he couldn¡¯t muster the strength anymore. So, at this time, Yan Fei waspletely spent and unable to move, only able to watch as Xiao Kong crawled toward him.


    Hate filled Xiao Kong as he crawled towards Yan Fei, a ghastly smile on his face, letting out a terrifyingugh through his teeth.


    Just when Yan Fei had closed his eyes, resigned to death, a mysterious power suddenly surged through his body. His face lit up with joy, for he could feel his Drone Avatar had be operational again. He immediately knew it must have passed midnight, the Drone¡¯s data began to refresh, and under the influence of the mysterious power, the Drone was fully repaired and itsbat power restored. The residual effects of that mysterious power also acted on Yan Fei, repairing his severely injured body in a way he couldn¡¯tprehend.


    At the critical moment, Yan Fei¡¯s trump card came back to life. Under his control, the newly repaired Drone swiftly ascended and flew towards the slope where Yan Fei and Xiao Kong¡¯s fierce battle had taken ce.


    Xiao Kong continued to crawl toward Yan Fei, and just as he reached his side, grinning viciously and reaching out his nearly skeletal hands to strangle Yan Fei, Yan Fei¡¯s Drone Avatar finally arrived above the scene. Under Yan Fei¡¯s control, the Drone hovered in midair, its Steel Ball Gun swiveling and quickly locking onto Xiao Kong. Then, with a thought from Yan Fei, a sequence of Steel Ball Bullets fired out, hitting Xiao Kong¡¯s body.


    The Steel Ball Bullets might not have the prating sharpness of regr bullets, but their power was not to be underestimated. As the high-velocity Steel Ball Bullets hit Xiao Kong¡¯s body, they prated his flesh, bursting out in a shower of blood.


    The sudden attack dealt heavy damage to Xiao Kong. He stopped trying to attack Yan Fei and screamed in agony, rolling back and forth on the ground, trying to avoid the Steel Ball Bullets¡¯ assault. His ragged figure was utterly pitiful to see. Oddly enough, despite the agonized screaming, his face still wore that bizarre smile, creating a chilling sight.


    Yan Fei, unhearing, continued to fire Steel Ball Bullets, attacking Xiao Kong on the ground. Suddenly, a bullet hit Xiao Kong¡¯s heart. He screamed loudly, the strange smile freezing on his face, his eyes losing their light. He thenpletely copsed to the ground, motionless.


    Yan Fei, wary of Xiao Kong¡¯s tenacious vitality, still couldn¡¯t believe Xiao Kong was truly dead. He fired dozens more Steel Ball Bullets at Xiao Kong, until he sted his head apart. Xiao Kong¡¯s head exploded, an eyeball remarkably flying onto Yan Fei¡¯s face, which Yan Fei disgustedly tossed away.


    It was only when Xiao Kongy still that Yan Fei finally confirmed Xiao Kong was indeed dead. If a man could still live without a head, Yan Fei would have had nothing to say.


    From the Drone¡¯s aerial perspective, Yan Fei could clearly see his own battered appearance. He had just been an ordinary citizen, and even after obtaining the Drone Avatar and carrying out so-called acts of chivalry, he had only encountered small-time characters, engaging in actions akin to jokes at best. How could he have experienced such a terrifying, blood-soaked life and death struggle, constantly facing the test of life and death? If it weren¡¯t for Xiao Kong¡¯s oversight and the timely effect of Yan Fei¡¯s trump card, he might have silently perished in the wilderness.


    Xiao Kong¡¯s body was a mangled mess, not a single part of him left intact, and his exploded head rendered him a sight of true horror. Seeing Xiao Kong¡¯s ghastly condition, Yan Fei suddenly felt a wave of nausea, almost vomiting, but he forcefully suppressed it. The aftereffects of his first kill had finally manifested. He began to slowly calm his emotions, d that the feeling quickly passed.


    Yan Fei was momentarily paralyzed, only able to lie there on the ground. As the host of the Drone Avatar, the mysterious power acted on him too, and his body was rapidly healing. That rate of recovery astonished even him. In just a short five minutes, the wounds on his body stopped bleeding and he was even able to get up and move around.


    At this time, the security personnel who had received Zhang Baocheng¡¯s orders to search for Xiao Kong and the Drone had also arrived one after another. Following the trail of the fight, they made their way to the slope nearby, where the Drone Avatar in the sky had already captured footage of them hurrying to the scene.


    Yan Fei, though now capable of movement, was still far from fully recovered and had littlebat power left. Not daring to stay at the scene any longer, he hastily cleaned up some traces he had left behind. Although there were certainly many things he could not erase in such a short time, that was all he could do for now. Lastly, even Xiao Kong¡¯s battered corpse was thrown into the Universal Space to be dealt withter when there was time.


    The security personnel were closing in on Yan Fei, who had no choice but to leave. Guided by the Drone Avatar in the sky, he stealthily avoided the security personnel and slipped through a gap in their encirclement, leaving the woods and returning to his minivan at the foot of the mountain. From inside the vehicle, Yan Fei could clearly see that Zhang Baocheng¡¯s vi district was bustling with activity, lights flickering everywhere in chaos.


    Yan Fei did not concern himself with Zhang Baocheng. First, he cleaned the blood off his body and bandaged his wounds. Then he took out a set of clean clothes he had prepared in the Universal Space and changed into them. He threw his blood-stained clothes into the Universal Space and carefully checked himself until he was sure there were no obvious ws left.


    In the end, Yan Fei drove his minivan, carrying the box with the Drone Avatar, and began his journey home. Perhaps his run of bad luck had been used up because, this time, his luck was exceptionally good. The journey was smooth, and nothing untoward happened all the way home.


    Once home, Yan Fei felt an overwhelming fatigue, and the significant blood loss made him somewhat groggy. He copsed onto the bed, closed his eyes, and lost consciousness.


    In a state of stupor, Yan Fei seemed to experience many things and received countless pieces of information. A bizarre array of events unfolded in his mind¡­


    Time passed, and Yan Fei suddenly woke up with a start. He opened his eyes and found himself lying in a hospital bed, his body wrapped in bandages, his back of hand had an IV needle for infusion, and the pain and weakness in his body hadpletely disappeared.


    The ward was impably white, and outside the window, the sunshine was bright, the air fresh. There stood a female nurse in front of the window in a pristine white uniform. The nurse was tall and beautiful with an innocent face that radiated with the vigor of youth. She was at the window tending to the potted nts, watering them with a watering can.


    The nurse looked at the nts with a tender smile on her face. The morning light on her face presented an extreme beauty.


    Seeing this beautiful nurse, Yan Fei was spellbound; his heartbeat elerated, feeling as if he had fallen in love with the nurse at first sight. He liked the nurse without any reason.


    Just as Yan Fei¡¯s heart raced, lost in thoughts of love, the beautiful nurse put down the watering can, put the nts back in ce, and turned to leave the ward.


    In a panic, not knowing the nurse¡¯s name, Yan Fei blurted out, ¡°Um¡­ please wait a moment¡­¡±


    Regrettably, the beautiful nurse seemed not to hear Yan Fei at all. She walked straight past his bed, pulled open the door, and was about to leave.


    Agitated, and fearing he might never see the nurse again, Yan Fei shouted, ¡°¡­wait¡­ don¡¯t go¡­¡±


    Unfortunately, the beautiful nurse still paid no attention to Yan Fei; she pushed open the door, went out, and closed the door behind her.


    As the door closed with a ¡°bang,¡± the room plunged into darkness. Startled, Yan Fei sat up shouting, only to realize he was lying on his bed at home, sweating profusely. The pristine ward, the beautiful nurse¡ªit had all been but a dream¡­

 Chapter 17 - 12: Turning Point

    Chapter 17: Chapter 12: Turning Point


    Yan Fei realized he was dreaming and let out a sigh, filled with unparalleled regret. Indeed, only the women in dreams were wless; they were a man¡¯s true love and the reason for so-called love at first sight. Otherwise, the ancients wouldn¡¯t have coined the term ¡°dream lover.¡±


    What made Yan Fei feel a bit eerie, however, was that he had killed someonest night, and instead of having a nightmare, he had a beautiful, romantic dream. What¡¯s more, the heroine of the dream was someone he had never met, making him doubt whether there was something abnormal about his psyche.


    It was already eight o¡¯clock the next morning. Yan Feiid in bed in a daze, then to his surprise, he found that the wounds on his body had almostpletely healed. The scabbed blood crusts at the wounds could even be peeled off, leaving only a red dot. His body felt incredibly light, as if he had not been injured at all. Only the abdomen, where Xiao Kong had ambushed him, throbbed faintly with pain, which also reminded him thatst night¡¯s fight to the death was not a dream but a real urrence. Given the rate of recovery of his body, he would be fully healed by tomorrow at thetest.


    The strong self-healing ability gave Yan Fei a deeper understanding of the mysterious power behind the drone modification. And afterst night¡¯s fight, he had a great revtion: No matter how strong a person is, without facing a life-and-death test, they can never grow up like flowers in a greenhouse.


    After finally killing Xiao Kong, Yan Fei had no regrets. There isn¡¯t so much right and wrong in the world; if someone wants to kill you, you must fight back. That is the true way of survival. Those who live infort cannot understand this feeling.


    After a hearty breakfast, Yan Fei started searching the inte but found no reports about what had happenedst night. It was as if the event never urred, which put his mind at ease. He had thought that Zhang Baocheng would be more restrained after the events of the previous night, but he hadpletely underestimated Zhang¡¯s greed.


    By eleven in the morning, Zhang Xiaohong brought that little boy to create a scene again. With her came several fierce-looking tattooed men. Seeing arge crowd gathering around, Wang Xiaohua stopped shouting downstairs and instead went directly to the fifth floor to bang on Yan Fei¡¯s door. The onlooking crowd, looking for excitement, followed her up to the fifth floor, with the tattooed men blending in with the crowd and keeping an eye on the turn of events.


    Just as Yan Fei opened his door, Wang Xiaohua squeezed into the room and closed the door, a strange expression on her face. Yan Fei knew what was about to happen, so he stood far away from Wang Xiaohong. Whenever Wang Xiaohong tried to approach, Yan Fei swiftly dodged. Unable to get close to Yan Fei, Wang Xiaohong turned her gaze and began to tear her own clothes, while shouting ¡°Don¡¯t¡± so loudly that not only could the people outside the door hear it, but even the people downstairs in the courtyard could hear it.


    When the clothes were sufficiently torn, Wang Xiaohong messed up her hair, flung open the door, ran out of the room, and sat in the hallway, weeping and wailing, ¡°This is such a sin; there¡¯s not one good person in the Yan Family. That scoundrel Yan is a pervert. He won¡¯t even let an old woman like me go. Everybody, look! He even tore my clothes, he wanted to rape me.¡±


    Yan Fei stood at the door, watching coldly, without saying a word. The few vicious tattooed men outside immediately surrounded him, shouting loudly, ¡°This is outrageous. Let¡¯s all go up together and kill this pervert. He¡¯s a beast for not sparing an old woman. We must root out evil to maintain peace¡­¡±


    The onlookers were shocked, never expecting Yan Fei to be such a person. With the loud encouragement of the tattooed men, some people rushed up to the stairs, ready to beat Yan Fei into a pulp.


    A few inte live-streamers were broadcasting live on the spot and, seeing this situation, became as excited as if injected with adrenaline, shouting into their phones, ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s get hyped! If someone tips me a Lamborghini, I¡¯ll go up there myself to root out evil and maintain peace.¡±


    Just as the scene was descending into chaos and about to spiral out of control, the door of L¨¹ Yangyang and Su Yan on the fourth floor opened, and out came five police officers, led by Huang Pu and Miao Hong. They went up to the fifth floor and shouted ¡°Stop!¡±


    Wang Xiaohong and her group became somewhat nervous at the sight of the police, but she quickly yed the victim first, saying to the officers, ¡°Officers, you¡¯vee just in time. This Yan Fei misbehaved, he tried to rape me. Look, my clothes are all torn because of him. Please, arrest him!¡±


    The tattooed men were initially panicked upon seeing the police, but after Wang Xiaohong¡¯s preemptive strike, they felt emboldened and echoed her im, ¡°Yes, yes, this guy tried to rape this olddy. We can all testify. Isn¡¯t that right?¡±


    When the tattooed men turned to ask, the onlookers around them immediately nodded and said, ¡°Indeed, this young man is inhumane, he¡¯s a pervert looking to rape an old woman, and we can all testify.¡±


    Seeing the situation leaning in her favor, Wang Xiaohong became smug and said to Yan Fei, ¡°You¡¯re done for, kid. Let¡¯s see what you have to say for yourself now.¡±


    Yan Fei turned to Officer Huang and asked, ¡°Officer Huang, you got everything on video, didn¡¯t you?¡±


    Miao Hong raised the PAD in her hand and said, ¡°Recorded it very clearly, from her entering and trying to approach you unsessfully, to her starting to tear her own clothes, to everything she¡¯s said just now. All recorded very clearly.¡±


    Looking at the PAD in Miao Hong¡¯s hand, Wang Xiaohong was suddenly at a loss.


    Yan Fei said coldly, ¡°Lately, the neighborhood hasn¡¯t been very safe, so I installed a surveince camera in my room for theft prevention. I never expected to catch you trying to set me up.¡±


    Of course, the situation wasn¡¯t as Yan Fei described it; he had already anticipated Zhang Baocheng and Wang Xiaohong¡¯s scheming the night before and made preparations. He had called the police to his ce early in the day and had a surveince camera installed in his room precisely for dealing with Wang Xiaohong¡¯s sudden attack. And after a night¡¯s rest, the visible injuries on his body had healed, so he dared to have the policee to his house.


    Wang Xiaohong was still stubborn, saying, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about. I came to your room to talk sense into you, and you started tearing my clothes. This is a fact that nobody can change.¡±


    The nearby tattooed men started to stir up trouble, trying to bluff their way through. The onlookers, unaware of the truth, also spoke up, one after another, each with righteous indignation, acting like virtuous gentlemen.


    Huang Pu stepped forward, and said seriously to Wang Xiaohong, ¡°We saw everything you just did in Yan Fei¡¯s room, clear as day.¡±


    Miao Hong cooperated by lifting up the PAD in her hand and started ying the video; indeed, everyone then saw that as soon as Wang Xiaohong entered the room, she tried to approach Yan Fei but was avoided by him. Then she began to rip her own clothes and started crying and shouting loudly. Throughout the entire process, Yan Fei always kept his distance from Wang Xiaohong, not touching her even once.


    Some of the onlookers suddenly felt they had been deceived, and their looks towards Wang Xiaohong changed.


    Wang Xiaohong, seeing the incontrovertible evidence, didn¡¯t make any more excuses. Instead, she said, ¡°I¡¯m getting older, and my memory is not what it was; I can¡¯t remember clearly what just happened.¡±


    Huang Pu said, ¡°If your memory is so poor that you can¡¯t even remember what just happened, how can you remember something that happened thirty years ago? And use Yan Fei¡¯s family of oppressing yours?¡±


    Now with her spirit revived, Wang Xiaohong spoke up loudly, ¡°The oppression my family suffered at the hands of their family caused me permanent psychological trauma. I will never forget it in this lifetime; of course, I remember.¡±


    Miao Hong sneered and said, ¡°Wang Xiaohua¡­¡±


    Wang Xiaohong was taken aback for a moment and looked around before saying, ¡°Are you calling me?¡±


    Miao Hong said, ¡°If I¡¯m not calling you, who am I calling?¡±


    Wang Xiaohong shook her head and said, ¡°You¡¯ve got it wrong; my name is Wang Xiaohong, not Wang Xiaohua.¡±


    Miao Hong said sternly, ¡°Wang Xiaohua, there¡¯s no need to hide any longer. Your real name is Wang Xiaohua; you¡¯re Wang Xiaohong¡¯s sister. Twenty years ago, after your sister¡¯s family died from an illness, you assumed her identity, swindled their inheritance, and have lived as her until now¡­¡±


    Wang Xiaohua¡¯s face turned ashen, and she asked subconsciously, ¡°How did you find out?¡± Then she immediately realized and shook her head, saying, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡±


    Huang Pu took a step forward and said, ¡°Wang Xiaohua, we suspect you of attempting to frame Yan Fei, falsely using him of sexually assaulting you; of identity theft, seizing someone else¡¯s inheritance; and also of inciting trouble, trying to defraud someone of their property. We are now formally arresting you; pleasee with us.¡±


    Wang Xiaohua¡¯s face instantly turned pale, and she copsed on the ground, never anticipating that things would turn out as they did. In her greed for Zhang Baocheng¡¯s reward, she ended up dragging up incidents from decades past and now had incriminating evidence held against her by the police. She immediately regretted causing trouble for Yan Fei.


    Yan Fei looked at the crowd of onlookers and smirked, ¡°Just now, someone here said they would testify on her behalf, iming that I sexually assaulted her. So I think they might all be Wang Xiaohua¡¯s aplices, and the policerades might want to take them in for questioning as well.¡±


    The nearby onlookers, upon hearing this, paled and hastily imed they were not Wang Xiaohua¡¯s aplices. They were just deceived by her and imed to be innocent.


    Yan Fei was not satisfied with these people¡¯s inability to discern right from wrong, their unclear views on truth and lies, and theirck of critical thinking skills, easily swayed by others. So, he was simply taking this opportunity to scare them. He was well aware that these people were just idle and bored, wanting to disy their sense of justice, not realizing the harm they could cause to others.


    Huang Pu, of course, also knew that these people were just idle onlookers who had not been difficult to handle. After giving them a verbal reprimand, he sent them on their way. Only Miao Hong took out handcuffs, cuffed them onto Wang Xiaohua¡¯s wrists, and forcefully took her away. The tattooed men nearby, seeing that things were not going well, also tried to slip away but were restrained by several police officers and then all taken to the police station for investigation.


    As for Yan Fei, being the person involved, he too was taken to the police station for a statement. The police ambush and the instation of surveince cameras in his home were all arranged by him. He directed the earlier part of the story but was utterly surprised by the remarkable twist at the end when it turned out Wang Xiaohong was an impostor.


    After being bothered by Wang Xiaohua several times, Huang Pu and his team began investigating her information, only to identally discover a problem with Wang Xiaohua¡¯s identity data. Upon further investigation, they realized she had been impersonating her own sister, and even dragged up Wang Xiaohua¡¯s old issue of swindling inheritance.


    For some other reasons, Huang Pu and his team did not inform Yan Fei of this matter in advance, hence his surprise upon discovering Wang Xiaohua¡¯s real identity. As a result, Wang Xiaohua was in big trouble, especially since her identity was exposed, and she waspletely unrted to Yan Fei¡¯s neighbor, meaning she would never be able to trouble Yan Fei again.


    With this, the farcical scene of Wang Xiaohua demanding the house andpensation came to a definitive end. The onlookers uploaded this dramatic turnaround to the Inte, and everyone instantly eximed that they had been duped, feeling that their kind nature had been exploited by Wang Xiaohua. They all turned against her, condemning her actions, with none considering apologizing to Yan Fei.


    As for the Inte verified ounts, they didn¡¯t even mention the incident, continuing righteously with other hot Inte topics instead. Those so-called activists andwyers who offered free legal aid vanished without a trace. And the inte live-streamers who sought to ride on the poprity of the event carried on as if nothing had happened, continuing their live streams elsewhere¡­

 Chapter 18 - 13 Skill Practice

    Chapter 18: Chapter 13 Skill Practice


    The next day, Huang Pu told Yan Fei that Wang Xiaohua¡¯s case had been thoroughly investigated. She would soon be transferred to the prosecution authority and faced the prospect of being charged. However, the tattooed thugs were released after some education due to insufficient evidence.


    As for the testimony Yan Fei desperately wanted, where Wang Xiaohua would use Zhang Baocheng of masterminding everything from behind the scenes, it didn¡¯t happen as he hoped. Wang Xiaohua insisted she was crazed by the thought of money, thus she attempted to extort and nder Yan Fei, iming all actions were done alone and unrted to others.


    Without Wang Xiaohua¡¯s confession, Zhang Baocheng had dodged a bullet. It seemed that Zhang Baocheng had made preparations well in advance; otherwise, Wang Xiaohua wouldn¡¯t have taken all the me alone.


    Actually, Yan Fei had enough evidence to implicate Zhang Baocheng. The drone had recorded him at his home, assigning tasks to Wang Xiaohua that very night. That video was still stored on the drone¡¯s storage card. If that video were to be released, Zhang Baocheng would undoubtedly be in big trouble. If Zhang Baocheng could settle Wang Xiaohua¡¯s matter with money, the involvement of the Mysterious Organization behind him could not be exined so easily.


    So, uploading the video to the inte would certainly ruin Zhang Baocheng, but Yan Fei dared not do so.


    On that very night, Yan Fei had killed Xiao Kong. He was afraid to release the video, lest it draw the fire toward him and attract the attention of the Mysterious Organization behind Xiao Kong. If Xiao Kong was that formidable, then the Mysterious Organization behind him must be no simple matter. If those forces realized that Yan Fei was responsible for Xiao Kong¡¯s death, Yan Fei would likely have to flee for his life.


    Once the video was made public, Zhang Baocheng would immediately know it was shot by that drone, and since the video contained Zhang Baocheng¡¯s conspiracy against Yan Fei, its exposure would benefit Yan Fei the most, making him the prime suspect.


    After killing Xiao Kong, Yan Fei hid his body in the Universal Space. Therefore, Xiao Kong¡¯s organization was still unaware of his death, but they would search everywhere for his whereabouts. Xiao Kong had chased after the drone, so his disappearance was definitely connected to it. Therefore, finding the drone¡¯s owner would lead to Xiao Kong¡¯s location.


    Once the organization realized Yan Fei was the most suspicious, they would certainly investigate him. Any sign of doubt would prompt them to act against Yan Fei. Having witnessed Xiao Kong¡¯s capabilities, Yan Fei couldn¡¯t dare imagine facing the organization. Furthermore, it was clear that they were not awful organization ¨C unlike the police, they wouldn¡¯t bother with evidence when dealing with suspects; suspicion alone would prompt them to act.


    It was these considerations that forced Yan Fei to withhold the video, temporarily letting Zhang Baocheng off the hook, nning to deal with him at ater time.


    The Mysterious Power rapidly healed Yan Fei¡¯s body, but this recovery came at a cost: a significant drain on his vital energy. Topensate for this loss, Yan Fei had to increase his food intake. However, he rarely went out recently, and the food in his refrigerator was nearly depleted. So, he went downstairs to the nearby supermarket for shopping.


    In the days before, the incident at Yan Fei¡¯s home had spread widely on the inte. People sympathized with Wang Xiaohua and held Yan Fei in contempt. As he walked the streets, people mentally cursed him and quietly spat after he passed by. Even when he shopped, they gave him unfriendly looks.


    But yesterday, after a dramatic turn of events, the looks people gave Yan Fei became ambiguous. Those who had quietly spat could let it be, since Yan Fei hadn¡¯t noticed. But those who had been openly hostile were now somewhat embarrassed upon seeing him.


    Yet Yan Fei didn¡¯t care at all about their views. Since gaining the Drone Avatar, he had survived brutal life-and-death struggles, toughening his will to an extraordinary degree. The opinions of others no longer had any negative impact on him.


    Yan Fei shopped extravagantly at the supermarket, and when he came out, he was loaded with bags. He casually carried these bags full of food, walking along the street toward his home. Just as he rounded a corner, he saw a little girl about four or five years old chasing a flying balloon, with no adults in sight taking care of her.


    The little girl ended up running into the vehiclene, and just then, a car sped by. Due to the bend in the road, the driver¡¯s visibility was obstructed. By the time the driver saw the little girl on the road ahead, he paled with fright and mmed on the brakes. However, it was toote, the car hadn¡¯te to aplete stop and was still speeding towards the little girl.


    Yan Fei, startled, flung his arms, dropping everything he was carrying, and quickly dashed toward the little girl. Just realizing the approaching car, the girl froze in terror, standing immobile.


    Yan Fei sprinted forward, and at thest moment before the car could hit her, he scooped the little girl into his arms. But it was already toote to move her out of danger. Left with no choice, he turned, shielding the little girl with his back to face the car.


    The car, carrying its massive inertia, crashed heavily into Yan Fei¡¯s back. He was immediately flung into the air, flying a distance beforending on the road ahead. The moment Yan Fei hit the ground, he clutched the little girl tightly, rolling several times to dissipate the massive force of the impact.

    Chapter 19: Chapter 13 Skill Practice_2


    ¡°`


    The driver of the car, upon realizing he had hit someone, and sent them flying such a distance, was instantly terrified out of his wits. His brain couldn¡¯t process the situation in time, and he stepped on the elerator, making his escape just like that.


    Yan Feiy on the ground for a moment, easing the pain from the impact. He soon discovered he had sustained quite serious internal injuries, with blood already at the corner of his mouth. After the life-and-death struggle the night before, Yan Fei had mastered some techniques for dissipating force, which reduced much of the car¡¯s impact, but not all of it, which is why he was injured. However,pared to before, he didn¡¯t take this injury to heart. By tonight, the effects of the Mysterious Power would automatically heal these wounds.


    Still, seeing the driver causing the ident and fleeing, Yan Fei couldn¡¯t help feeling dissatisfied. But since the driver had already fled, there was nothing he could do about it. Yan Fei gave a wry smile, stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and noticed the little girl in his arms looked pale with fright, herrge eyes brimming with tears, looking like she was about to cry. Under Yan Fei¡¯s protection, the little girl hadn¡¯t been injured, but she was still scared by the harrowing moment.


    Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, Yan Fei quickly took out a lollipop he had just bought from his pocket, waved it in front of her, and then with a move of his hand, the lollipop vanished. The little girl¡¯s attention was immediately captured; she curiously watched Yan Fei¡¯s hand, and the tears in her eyes did not fall.


    Yan Fei walked to the roadside, put the little girl down, squatted, and said, ¡°Little sister, watch your brother perform a magic trick!¡±


    The little girl watched curiously as Yan Fei moved his hand, and a lollipop reappeared in it. She immediately pped her hands and cheered, looking like an inquisitive baby. Yan Fei took her hand, ced the lollipop in it, and said, ¡°Be a good girl, don¡¯t cry, here¡¯s some candy for you.¡±


    The little girl happily epted the lollipop, holding it in her hand and examining it closely, trying to discover the secret behind its sudden disappearance and reappearance. Just then, ady in her fifties or sixties ran over slowly. As soon as she saw the little girl on the ground, she hurriedly picked her up,ining, ¡°Granny only blinked, and you¡¯ve already run off, haven¡¯t you?¡±


    As the grandmother held her, the little girl turned to look back at Yan Fei. The olddy instantly became wary of Yan Fei, with a very obvious thievish look in her eyes. Yan Fei couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly, but he didn¡¯t tell the woman he had saved the girl, nor did he scold her for not taking good care of her grandchild. He just turned around to pick up the goods that had fallen to the ground.


    The grandmother, holding the little girl, hurried away, then suddenly noticed the lollipop in the little girl¡¯s hand, snatched it, and said, ¡°How many times have I told you not to ept candy from strangers? Why don¡¯t you ever listen?¡±


    Yan Fei shook his head and sighed, but he couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with an olddy. Then he saw the little girl smiling at him from her grandmother¡¯s shoulder and making a goodbye gesture to him. He immediately felt that saving this cute little baby was worth it.


    On the third day, Yan Fei¡¯s injuries had healed, and his body felt as though he had never been injured, incredibly healthy. After this brush with death, Yan Fei realized his weaknesses: hecked proper guidance from a master and had nobat experience.


    Before, Yan Fei never truly believed that Martial Arts Masters existed in this world, so he merely trained his body and controlled his power. However, after witnessing Xiao Kong¡¯s terror, he immediately realized the vast gap between them. Compared to ordinary people, his strength was immense, like a little superman; but in front of a real expert, he was nothing more than a human punching bag, totally without the ability to fight back.


    In light of this, Yan Fei began searching for a Martial Arts Gym in the City Area of Shanghai, hoping to learn Kung Fu. But to his disappointment, there were no specialized Chinese Kung Fu gyms in the city, onlyrge fitness centers. Although these centers did offer martial arts routines, they were shy and impractical, not real Kung Fu. After all, Taekwondo from South Korea and karate from Japan were popr at the time, and if not for a few martial arts novels on the Inte, probably no one would be willing to learn Chinese Kung Fu.


    Unable to find a real Kung Fu school, Yan Fei had no choice but to settle for a fitness center called Beyond Fitness. This center wasn¡¯t just for working out but also had coaches who taught fighting techniques.


    When the receptionist at Beyond Fitness learned that Yan Fei had chosen to learn Kung Fu, she was somewhat surprised. After all, it was the era of Taekwondo and karate, and only a few ignorant youngsters inspired by martial arts novels were interested in learning Kung Fu.


    After paying andpleting the registration at Beyond Fitness, Yan Fei noticed that in the huge center, there was only one Kung Fu instructor with a small floor space tucked in a corner, with just five or six sparse students. In contrast, the neighboring Taekwondo and karate boasted seven or eight coaches with hundreds of students. These students, in uniform clothing and with booming voices, had an impressive aura when practicing. On the other hand, the few studying Kung Fu, dressed in assorted workout clothes they had brought themselves, lookedckluster and timid, clearly outssed in spirit by those around them.


    Yan Fei then understood why the receptionist had been so surprised when he said he wanted to learn Kung Fu; to learn Kung Fu these days was to be a deviant! But having witnessed Xiao Kong¡¯s prowess, Yan Fei knew that real Kung Fu was not just for show, so he still chose to learn it.


    The Kung Fu coach was a middle-aged man named Wang Yong. He only taught basic Kung Fu routines. Yan Fei understood that he couldn¡¯t learn real Kung Fu at such a fitness center, but he could use these routines to understand the techniques of power generation in Kung Fu. With these techniques and his robust physical strength, he could still unleash mighty destructive power.


    So Yan Fei began learning Kung Fu routines at Beyond Fitness, and Coach Wang Yong asionally provided tips on power generation. In just a few days of practice, coupled with his life-and-death struggle the night before, Yan Fei had made significant progress and had taken his first steps into the world of Kung Fu. If he encountered Xiao Kong again, he certainly wouldn¡¯t find it as challenging.


    During his training, Yan Fei always controlled his own strength, appearing to progress at a simr pace to the others and not standing out among his fellow students, thus not drawing any attention from Coach Wang Yong or his ssmates.


    In the meantime, Yan Fei asked Wang Yong about the levels of Kung Fu mastery, but each time Wang Yong evaded the question with vague answers, leaving Yan Fei unsure whether he really did not know or simply did not wish to say.

 Chapter 20 - 14: Exposure Crisis

    Chapter 20: Chapter 14: Exposure Crisis


    After the life-and-death struggle with Xiao Kong, Yan Fei acutely felt his own strength was insufficient, so he started to look for martial arts gyms to learn kung fu, but he also knew that he couldn¡¯t learn real kung fu in these kinds of gyms. So he both studied the routine of kung fu and made other ns on the side.


    Yan Fei nned to practice a unique skill, which was the use of hidden weapons. As for which hidden weapon to use, there really was no need to think about it; he would use the steel ball bullets fired by drones.


    Therefore, every day, after practicing kung fu and returning home, Yan Fei would go to a nearby hill slope in the evening, where in the forest, he erected a target to practice his steel ball hidden weapon. As for the steel balls used for practice, they were from the drone¡¯s weapon.


    During this time, the Drone Avatar hadn¡¯tunched another attack, and the quantity of steel ball bullets would automatically refresh back to 100% every midnight, which was somewhat wasteful. Moreover, Yan Fei could feel the steel ball bullets inside the drone, but he was unable to remove them manually. Thus, every night, approaching midnight, Yan Fei would fire all of the drone¡¯s steel ball bullets. Fortunately, he could control the force of the bullets¡¯unch by adjusting the air pressure, or else there wouldn¡¯t be any items that could withstand the attack of the steel ball bullets and keep the balls intact.


    Yan Fei collected these steel balls in arge barrel and kept them in Universal Space. Within a few days, he had collected more than two thousand steel balls. Then, avoiding pedestrians, he began to practice firing the steel balls in the forest.


    At the beginning, Yan Fei couldn¡¯t find the knack for hidden weapons at all. He simply couldn¡¯t hit the target, and his fingertips ended up in extreme pain. Later, after learning the force application techniques taught by Wang Yong, he slowly grasped the rudimentary method of hidden weapons and started to make some progress. But he had only just begun practicing hidden weapons, and their power was still very modest. He was far from being able to use them effectively.


    After killing Xiao Kong, the Drone Avatar gained one Merit Point, but in the following days, this Merit Point didn¡¯t increase any further. Since Yan Fei hadn¡¯tunched the drone again during these days, after all, Zhang Baocheng had already seen what the drone looked like. Should the drone be active again, it might be discovered by Zhang Baocheng¡¯s people, so he stayed low for the time being, waiting for an opportunity for the Drone Upgrade.


    Time swiftly passed by during Yan Fei¡¯s martial arts training, and soon, the Demolition conference was held, announcing thepensation standards. Yan Fei chose the option of a recement property plus cashpensation. In total, he acquired a 30-square-meter fully furnished small house in the city area of Shanghai and 100 million in cash. Yan Fei had no objections to this and readily signed the agreement; once the agreement was signed, he immediately received the 20 million in pre-paid demolitionpensation and the ownership of the city area property.


    To be honest, when Yan Fei saw the extra 20 million cash in his bank ount, he felt dizzy and could hardly believe that he had be a multimillionaire overnight. Once the demolition waspleted, he would immediately receive the remaining 80 million in bnce, bing a true billionaire. Others might not earn so much money in their entire lives, but he had obtained it effortlessly, and aside from thanking his parents, he had no other thoughts.


    After the demolition agreement was signed, Yan Fei¡¯s tenants began to move out slowly. He started returning their rent and security deposits, and since it wasn¡¯t a full month, he waived their rent for the month and gave them ample time to find new housing.


    L¨¹ Yangyang and Su Yan were very reluctant to leave, but they had no choice but to part ways. Yan Fei kindly helped them move their luggage, treated them to a meal, and then left under the girls¡¯ reluctant gazes.


    After bidding farewell to the girls, it was already evening by the time Yan Fei drove the minivan home, where he discovered two sneaky men under arge tree near his doorstep, peering through a telescope at his home¡¯s windows. His heart stirred, and he quietly parked the car on a street far away without rming the two men.


    Having previously broken into Zhang Baocheng¡¯s vi and killed Xiao Kong, Yan Fei was being extra cautious. Suddenly discovering these two peeping men, he immediately grew wary. His home was less than 200 meters away, so he instantly started the Drone Avatar that was parked at home. The Drone Avatar came to life and flew out from another window.


    Whenever Yan Fei went out, he always left the house windows open, so that in an emergency, the drone could take off to ensure his safety. With someone as formidable as Xiao Kong behind him, there were surely other experts. And now, Yan Fei¡¯s most powerful weapon was the drone¡¯s steel ball bullets, which he naturally made use of. So even when he was out, he would leave the windows open, and his travel range would not exceed 10 kilometers from his home.


    It was nine o¡¯clock in the evening, and even though there was moonlight, no one in the shadowy sky noticed the existence of the drone. The drone ascended to an altitude of 200 meters, circled around, and approached the two men from behind, then hovered over therge tree they were hidden in. The HD Camera began rotating to capture footage, and the audio recording equipment also started recording.


    A skinny man put down the telescope, threw his cigarette butt on the ground in discontent, and said, ¡°It¡¯s already nine o¡¯clock. Why hasn¡¯t that Yan kide back yet? How much longer do we have to stay here?¡±


    The other short, chubby man replied, ¡°Huang San, don¡¯tin. This task was personally assigned by the Marquis. If you try to ck off, you¡¯re done for.¡±


    The man named Huang San hurriedly said, ¡°Brother Liang, you misunderstood; I was justining about why that kid hasn¡¯te back yet, nothing else.¡± It seemed he was very wary of this so-called Marquis.


    The man called Brother Liang took over the telescope, nced at Yan Fei¡¯s house windows, and said, ¡°Generally speaking, we must carry out the tasks personally ordered by the Marquis with all our heart; even the slightest mistake, and we can expect death!¡±


    Huang San was very curious and asked, ¡°Brother Liang, why do we have to watch that Yan guy? Did he offend the Marquis?¡±


    Brother Liang said proudly, ¡°If you ask anyone else, they probably wouldn¡¯t know what¡¯s going on. But you asked me, and I just happen to know the whole story.¡±


    Huang San quickly handed over a cigarette and lit it for Brother Liang, saying, ¡°Then tell me about it, Brother Liang!¡±


    Brother Liang took a drag of the cigarette, blew a smoke ring, and said, ¡°You know Brother Cheng, that is, Zhang Baocheng, is the Marquis¡¯ brother, right?¡±


    Huang San nodded and said, ¡°Brother Cheng used to hang out with the Marquis, then he quit and started doing legitimate business, but he still oftenes to see the Marquis. I¡¯ve seen Brother Cheng a few times at the Marquis¡¯ house.¡±


    Brother Liang said, ¡°Although Brother Cheng doesn¡¯t hang around the underworld anymore, he¡¯s still like brothers with Marquis, very close. When Brother Cheng has trouble, Marquis would help him too. A few days ago, something big happened at Brother Cheng¡¯s.¡±


    Huang San nodded repeatedly, saying, ¡°I know, I know, a VIP guest of Brother Cheng went missing and hasn¡¯t been found yet. I heard Brother Cheng was furious.¡±


    Brother Liang said, ¡°That VIP is quite significant; even Brother Cheng can¡¯t afford to offend him. It¡¯s no wonder Brother Cheng is anxious about his disappearance at his ce.¡±


    Huang San asked curiously, ¡°Who is that VIP? Even Brother Cheng can¡¯t afford to offend?¡±


    Brother Liang shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know that!¡±


    Huang San asked again, ¡°How did that VIP disappear?¡±


    Brother Liang said, ¡°I heard that on that night, there was an invasion by outsiders at Brother Cheng¡¯s vi. The VIP went out to chase after them and then went missing. But ording to the investigation of the scene afterward, that VIP must¡¯ve had a fierce fight on the hill behind Brother Cheng¡¯s ce because a lot of traces from the fight were left there. They even found an eyeball at the scene.¡±


    Hearing this, Huang San was terrified and asked, ¡°Could it be that the eyeball belonged to that VIP?¡±


    Brother Liang said, ¡°We don¡¯t know yet, but besides the eyeball, blood and pieces of clothing were also left at the scene, and arge number of steel balls were found. Brother Cheng has taken all these items back to his vi and is getting experts to analyze them.¡±


    Huang San asked, ¡°What does this have to do with what we¡¯re doing tonight?¡±


    Brother Liang said, ¡°With Brother Cheng¡¯s man missing, Marquis will naturally help him out. So here we are, assigned to this task tonight.¡±


    Huang San curiously asked, ¡°Are you saying that the disappearance of that VIP is rted to this Yan Fei guy?¡±


    Brother Liang exhaled a ring of smoke, ¡°It seems there¡¯s no rtion between the two, but someone from Brother Cheng¡¯s side recognized that the pieces of clothing found at the site of the fight closely resemble an outfit this kid wore before. Plus, Brother Cheng was targeting this kid a few days ago, and they have a feud. Furthermore, surveince cameras at a nearby intersection to their vi caught his minivan around there at that time, so Brother Cheng suspects this might be rted to this kid.¡±


    Huang San said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t we just go in, grab the kid, and question him directly? Why are we still here watching?¡±


    Brother Liang sighed, ¡°That¡¯s why you¡¯re just a foot soldier on the streets; you can¡¯t see the big picture. Didn¡¯t you see how the state is handling us now? If you actually took this kid away, it¡¯d only be a few days before the police were knocking on our door. After all, this kid has already called the cops, iming Brother Cheng¡¯s people were harassing him. If he disappears, Brother Cheng will be the one under police investigation.¡±


    Huang San scratched his head, ¡°Then why are we still surveilling him?¡±


    Brother Liang said, ¡°We wait for the kid toe back, then quietly go in, knock him out and take some of his blood back to Brother Cheng topare with the blood left at the fight scene. Once we confirm they¡¯re the same, we¡¯ll really take the kid for questioning. That way, even if Brother Cheng gets investigated by the police, it would still be worth it, otherwise, it would be too unjust.¡±


    Huang San scratched his head, ¡°But what if it really was this kid, wouldn¡¯t he be really tough? Can we actually knock him out?¡±


    Brother Liang looked at him with disdain, ¡°That guest being Brother Cheng¡¯s VIP, how could he possibly have anybat power? This kid could easily capture him. Besides, who knows if this kid has backup? What if it was his helper who made that move? So, just in case, I did some investigation and found out this kid is practicing martial arts at Beyond Fitness Center, being taught by an unknown coach the most basic Kung Fu routines, and he¡¯s only been practicing for a few days. He looks green, with no realbat power. Do you think we can¡¯t handle a rookie like this?¡±


    Huang San finally felt relieved, and they continued to watch Yan Fei¡¯s house.


    Through his Drone Avatar, Yan Fei heard their conversation crystal clear and broke into a cold sweat. He thought he had minimized the risk of exposure, but had not considered how many holes he had left behind.


    The blood samples from the fight scene, the clothing he wore on the day of the incident, and his minivan being caught on their surveince camera were all his oversights. The people were just suspicious for now, but once they got his genes and ran aparison, they would lock in on himpletely.


    Fortunately, Yan Fei had inadvertently discovered the two surveilling him and managed to glean so much information from them. He still had time to fix this oversight; otherwise, he would be in big trouble.

 Chapter 21 - 15: Striking Again

    Chapter 21: Chapter 15: Striking Again


    Yan Fei, having learned of the conspiracy against himself, immediately resolved to thoroughly eliminate this hidden danger. He no longer headed home but instead turned his car around, driving towards South City. Meanwhile, his Drone Avatar stayed put, continuing to surveil the two men.


    The two men had no idea that they had already leaked important secrets. They continued chatting idly, their conversation now filled with frivolities, offering no more useful information. Seeing that they were no longer of value, the Drone Avatar quietly returned to the room, entering standby mode to avoid wasting Energy Points.


    Yan Fei understood that the biggest w was the blood samples and clothing scraps left at the scene of the fight. With scientific testing, he¡¯d have no chance to deny his involvement. As for why the minivan appeared near the scene at that time, it wasn¡¯t too significant an issue and could be easily exined away. Therefore, he just needed to dispose of the blood samples and clothing scraps in time, and all would be well.


    Yan Fei¡¯s minivan continued toward South City, but he always maintained a distance of 10 kilometers from his home. Then, he found a well-knownrge bathhouse, parked the minivan in a conspicuous ce with a Surveince Camera, and confidently entered the Bathhouse to bathe.


    Afterward, Yan Fei even rented a separate room and had a young masseuse wash his feet for him. To make asting impression on the young masseuse, he told her some thought-provoking jokes, making herugh heartily. Finally, he closed the door as if ready to rest.


    Once the young masseuse left, Yan Fei immediately locked the door and marked the handle. He then opened his Universal Space, taking out a new set of clothes to change into. After that, he opened the window of the room and surveyed the outside conditions.


    The rest area of the bathhouse was on the third floor. Yan Fei purposely chose a room with its back to the main street, where it was pitch-dark below, no streetlights in sight. He opened the window and stealthily climbed down from the third floor. With his current physical condition, he easily reached the ground floor.


    Yan Fei thought for a moment, and an old second-hand Motorcycle appeared before him. It was the temporary mode of transportation that Yan Fei had prepared for himself, stored in the Universal Space for emergencies. He put on a helmet, started the motorcycle, and left the bathhouse, heading towards Zhang Baocheng¡¯s vi.


    When he was nearly there, the Drone from Yan Fei¡¯s house activated and flew into the night sky, heading in Yan Fei¡¯s direction. The two men monitoring him near his home were oblivious to this.


    Over twenty minutester, Yan Fei arrived near Zhang Baocheng¡¯s vi again. The Drone Avatar also reached the location at the same time. This time, Yan Fei was very cautious. He first stowed the Motorcycle in the Universal Space, then quietly approached Zhang Baocheng¡¯s vi, avoiding the Surveince Cameras.


    Stopping 500 meters from the vi, Yan Fei began flying the Drone. The Drone carefully approached the vi and noticed that the security had indeed been significantly tightened. More Surveince Cameras had been installed, more Security Personnel were patrolling the area, and several searchlights were continuously rotating in the night sky. It seemed the previous incident had taught Zhang Baocheng a lesson, prompting a major Upgrade in the vi¡¯s defenses.


    The Drone hovered at an altitude of 200 meters, 100 meters away from the vi, where it was a blind spot for the vi surveince. However, using its advanced imaging technology, the Drone could still monitor every movement within the vi in real-time, even picking up bits of the patrol¡¯s conversations.


    Based on the lights in the vi and the conversations of Security Personnel, Yan Fei deduced there was a basement beneath the vi. The blood samples, clothing scraps, and Steel Ball Bullets collected from the fight scene were all stored there. And the experts invited by Zhang Baocheng were about to arrive. Once those experts got there, they would begin analyzing the blood samples.


    Time was running out for Yan Fei. If he didn¡¯t destroy that evidence before the experts started their analysis, it would be toote. By then, not only would Zhang Baocheng and his organization not let him go, but the police would also give him trouble once they learned of these findings.


    However, Yan Fei did not act rashly. He patiently waited and gradually figured out the patrol patterns of the Security Personnel. He then took a stic mask from the Universal Space, put it on, and began to infiltrate the vi with guidance from the Drone above.


    Being able to continuously monitor the entire vi from above allowed Yan Fei to avoid the patrols in time. With his agile skills, he safely entered the vi. But as soon as he stepped inside, the Drone above became redundant. Now everything depended on Yan Fei himself.


    Thanks to the transformation by Mysterious Power, some of Yan Fei¡¯s Special Abilities began to emerge. For instance, his hearing and vision had be incredibly heightened, far surpassing that of an average person. Even without the Drone¡¯s directions, with his extraordinary hearing and vision, he sessfully avoided the vi¡¯s Security Personnel and snuck inside.


    The Security Personnel, though patrolling, asionally exchanged some words. From their conversations, Yan Fei learned that Zhang Baocheng was not currently in the vi; apparently, he had gone out to meet someone. However, Yan Fei¡¯s target that night wasn¡¯t Zhang Baocheng. He just wanted to destroy the blood samples and clothing scraps in the vi, so Zhang Baocheng¡¯s presence did not affect him.


    Yan Fei carefully avoided the Security Personnel and entered the vi¡¯s basement. He saw two Security Personnel sitting at the entrance of the basement, chatting listlessly, each holding an electric baton. Suddenly revealing his presence, he elerated and before they could react, he grabbed their heads and mmed them together. With a loud ¡°bang,¡± the two men were knocked out without even a chance to scream.


    Yan Fei carefullyid the two bodies on the ground, then gently pushed open the basement door, only to find it empty. In the center of the room sat several instruments adorned with ss bottles, some filled with unidentified liquids. A transparent container also sat on the table, holding dark soil and a few tattered pieces of clothing, with over a dozen steel ball bullets on a tray. Additionally, one ss bottle contained arge eyeball soaked within.


    Yan Fei knew these must be remnants of himself collected at the scene of the fierce fight by Zhang Baocheng¡¯s men. But he soon felt relieved, as judging by the scene, it seemed they hadn¡¯t had the chance to test them yet. Otherwise, once Zhang Baocheng confirmed the genes from the fight scene matched Yan Fei¡¯s, they wouldn¡¯t even need to make a move; a simple police report would spell the end for Yan Fei.


    A heavy rain had washed the scene of the fight clean in the past few days. This meant the evidence gathered in this basement was thest piece. If Yan Fei destroyed thisst bit of evidence, he wouldpletely eliminate the risk of exposure.


    With that thought, Yan Fei didn¡¯t hesitate. He pulled out a stic bucket filled with gasoline from his Universal Space. This was gasoline he had previously taken from a gas station while driving the minivan, sucked out of the vehicle¡¯s fuel tank and into the stic bucket. He had prepared two such buckets of gasoline, just as a precaution, yet he didn¡¯t expect they woulde into use so soon.


    Yan Fei unscrewed the lid of the gasoline bucket and began to ssh the gas around the basement, the pungent odor permeating the space.


    After he had finished spreading the gasoline, Yan Fei threw the bucket to the ground, retreated to the basement entrance, pulled out a lighter, lit it, and tossed it. The lighter traced an arc in the air before falling to the ground. A ¡°boom¡± sounded as the gasoline ignited, engulfing the basement in mes.


    At that very moment, the Drone Avatar¡¯s view from the outside suddenly spotted several cars driving into the vi, one of which belonged to Zhang Baocheng. It seemed like Zhang Baocheng had returned. While the underground fire was raging, there wasn¡¯t yet any sign of trouble from the outside.


    Yan Fei exited the basement, ready to leave. However, seeing the two unconscious Security Personnel by the basement door, he hesitated but eventually decided to carry them out, dumping them in the garden outside.


    The cars parked, and people started to disembark, including Zhang Baocheng. After alighting, Zhang Baocheng obsequiously opened the rear door of a car, helping a middle-aged, sturdy man step out, then hurried to his side to speak. The other vehicles discharged several individuals in whiteb coats, likely the experts Zhang Baocheng¡¯s Security Personnel had mentioned.


    Having just taken care of all the evidence, Yan Fei was in high spirits and preferred not toplicate matters further. With the Drone¡¯s assistance, he carefully avoided those entering the vi.


    Just then, thick white smoke began to billow, and mes emerged from the vi. The basement fire had finally been noticed, causing amotion inside as the Security Personnel shouted out orders to extinguish the fire and rescue anyone trapped.


    Taking advantage of the chaos, Yan Fei reached the corner of the wall, scaled it with a leap, and jumped over.


    In the instant beforending, an intense sense of danger surged within him. Startled, he braced his hand against the wall, pushing his body sharply outward half a body¡¯s width. Then he heard a loud ¡°bang,¡± and debris flew as a gaping hole appeared in the wall, revealing a massive foot right before Yan Fei¡¯s eyes.


    Yan Fei was taken aback. Had he not sensed the warning and shifted sideways, he would have been struck by that foot.


    A middle-aged, sturdy man appeared through therge hole in the wall¡ªit was the same one Zhang Baocheng had escorted from the car. He withdrew his leg from the wall, waved his arms with ease to erge the hole, and then climbed through the erged hole, coldly regarding Yan Fei, who wore a stic mask.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª


    Thanks to Elder K Luo for the tip¡ªit¡¯s the first one this book has received and holdsmemorative significance; Submerged Fish at Sea will forever hold this in gratitude!


    Also, thanks to HH Zhen Xiang for the suggestion. Your advice broadened my horizons and was a great help to me.


    Thank you, everyone!

 Chapter 22 - 16: The Frenzied Strongman

    Chapter 22: Chapter 16: The Frenzied Strongman


    Seeing the middle-aged strong man treat the wall as if it were nothing, Yan Fei¡¯s eyelids twitched wildly, knowing full well how sturdy the walls of the vi were. Yet beneath this man¡¯s feet, the wall was like flour, creating arge hole with a single kick, easily torn down by hand.


    This middle-aged strong man¡¯s strength was extraordinary, just like Xiao Kong, who was killed by Yan Fei; he was definitely a true martial arts master. And now this person had entered the vi with Zhang Baocheng¡¯s motorcade. Seeing how respectfully Zhang Baocheng treated him, could it be that he was the assistant Zhang Baocheng had called for help?


    In an instant, Yan Fei thought of many things. However, his movements didn¡¯t slow down¡ªhe dodged the strong man¡¯s sneak attack and darted into the forest behind him. The strong man sneered, misstepped, and also followed him into the chase.


    As soon as he entered the forest, Yan Fei immediately utilized a footwork technique taught by Wang Yong, nimbly sprinting through the trees. Unexpectedly, the strong man¡¯s movements were even faster than his; in the blink of an eye, he caught up to Yan Fei.


    The strong man kicked at Yan Fei, who crossed his arms to block it, only to feel an enormous force hit him, numbing his arm and nearly causing him to lose consciousness. His body, propelled by the massive force, flew four or five meters away and violently struck a tree.


    The first exchange of blows, and Yan Fei was at a significant disadvantage in terms of strength. rmed, he realized that the strong man was even more powerful than Xiao Kong, sending him flying with just one move. He had thought that after learning some Kung Fu routines and power techniques, he might be able to shake off the strong man in theplex forest terrain and perhaps even turn the tables, but he never expected the strong man¡¯s strength to be so formidable, giving him a tough lesson from the very first exchange.


    Although Yan Fei took a hit from the strong man, he went with the momentum; even after being flung four or five meters, he managed to dissipate most of the force while in midair, so his body didn¡¯t take much damage. Having tested the strong man¡¯s strength and knowing he couldn¡¯t match it, he flipped back to his feet and started running again.


    The strong man, seeing that his kick hadn¡¯t injured Yan Fei, uttered a surprised ¡°Huh,¡± and then continued the pursuit.


    Yan Fei wasn¡¯t as fast as the strong man and could only use the tree trunks to block his pursuit. The hulking man, seeing Yan Fei escaping from desperate situations again and again without being caught, became enraged. He suddenly stopped, let out a furious roar to the sky, his muscles began to swell, and his clothes were even burst by the expanding muscles.


    Then, the strong man charged again toward Yan Fei. Whenever he encountered arge tree, he would shoulder it aside, ramming therge trees with his body which then broke with a ¡°crack¡± upon impact.


    Yan Fei, who had been nning to duck behind thatrge tree for cover, was startled and barely avoided being crushed by the falling tree. He quickly regained hisposure and dashed off again. The strong man, unharmed by breaking the trees, chased after Yan Fei once more. Whenever he encountered arge tree blocking his path, he simply knocked it down, advancing like a bulldozer, his speed even surpassing that of Yan Fei.


    While Yan Fei ran for his life, the strong man caught up and rammed him, sending him flying. Yan Fei felt a tremendous force and then found himself airborne, flung more than ten meters away, until he hit the ground and rolled several times before scrambling up to continue running. Although he was still running fast, his body had begun to tremble slightly, indicating that the recent impact had indeed injured him.


    The strong man sneered and caught up to Yan Fei again, aiming a kick at Yan Fei¡¯s back. Yan Fei sidestepped, avoiding a hit to his back, but his shoulder was struck and he was flung far away, crashing into arge tree and breaking it. This attack severely injured Yan Fei, who was utterly astounded; he had thought his strength had improved rapidly and considered himself very formidable, yet he had no ability to fight back against this strong man, who seemed as outmatched as a rookie vige neer facing a Super Boss in a game.


    The strong man, seeing Yan Fei¡¯s shocked face, burst into mockingughter and quickly closed in. And just then, the Drone Avatar in the sky finally arrived and, under Yan Fei¡¯s control, the muzzle of the Steel Ball Gun rapidly spun, targeting the strong man on the ground, and started firing Steel Ball Bullets.


    The strong man was approaching Yan Fei, intending to strike the final blow, but he didn¡¯t expect an assault from the sky. For a moment, he was struck repeatedly by Steel Ball Bullets, inflicting unbearable pain and eliciting involuntary grunts of pain from his mouth.


    Yan Fei was once again astonished. Even under his full control, the power of the Steel Ball Bullets was immense, nearly as potent as real bullets, and entirely capable of killing someone. Yet those bullets, fired at the strong man, merely pierced his clothes and left red marks on his body without actually causing any harm. What kind of Kung Fu was this strong man practicing? How could his skin be so tough? Or was he not a monster after all?


    While the Drone¡¯s attack failed to kill the strong man, it did cause him pain and halted his advance. Yan Fei, suppressing the injuries within his body, ran once more and quickly widened the distance from the strong man.


    As Yan Fei raced desperately, he saw the strong man on the ground sidestep to break arge tree, pick up the tree trunk, and hurl it toward the Drone Avatar in the sky, nearly knocking it down from midair.


    Yan Fei was taken aback. Although the Drone had descended to an altitude of about fifty meters during the attack, he didn¡¯t expect that the tree trunk could reach the Drone. The tree trunk was untrimmed,den with branches and leaves creating considerable air resistance, and with the trunk¡¯s girth and weight of at least five or six hundred jin, how could the strong man have thrown such a heavy object up to an altitude of over fifty meters? How immense must his strength be?


    The burly man demonstrated his ability to attack the drone, and although he failed to hit it, he had posed a significant threat to the drone. Therefore, for the safety of the drone, Yan Fei could only raise its altitude, not daring to let it fly too close. As a result, the steel ball bullets from the drone couldn¡¯t urately strike the burly man, and even if they hit, their power was greatly reduced, unable to prate his defense.


    With the drone no longer hounding him, the burly man¡¯s speed suddenly increased, quickly closing the distance between him and Yan Fei.


    Seeing the burly man catching up again, Yan Fei inwardlymented. With the help of the drone above, he was already aware of the terrain ahead. He was about to cross this forest, and beyond ity a cliff, pitch-ck and bottomless below, with no other way out around. In other words, he had carelessly run into a dead end, while the burly man, unaware of whaty ahead, continued the relentless pursuit.


    With no choice left, Yan Fei could only race forward. Suddenly, his spirits lifted as he finally emerged from the forest, finding himself on a tform with the sheer cliff behind him, with no escape possible. The burly man chased out of the woods and immediately realized Yan Fei was trapped. He rxed slightly, keeping an eye on the drone above while slowly closing in on Yan Fei.


    The drone continued to attack the burly man, but a faint white light appeared on the surface of his body whenever a steel ball bullet struck him, causing pain but not inflicting any real harm. Unless the steel ball bullets struck vital areas such as the eyes, the burly man wouldn¡¯t be truly injured, and whenever the bullets targeted such sensitive areas, he would shield them with his arms.


    With the drone¡¯s attacks rendered ineffective for the first time, Yan Fei had lost his biggest trump card. Seeing the fruitless assault, he simply recalled the drone, letting it circle overhead, surveying the nearby terrain.


    As the drone flew away, the burly man lowered the arms that had been protecting his eyes. He looked at Yan Fei and said in imperfect Mandarin, ¡°I don¡¯t know who you are, but since you¡¯re here and you have a certain strength, then it must be rted to Xiao Kong¡¯s disappearance.¡±


    A chill went through Yan Fei¡¯s heart; the burly man was indeed from the organization behind Xiao Kong, and they had tracked him down. He hadn¡¯t expected them to arrive so swiftly and to be so formidable. Yan Fei responded, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡±


    The burly man replied, ¡°Don¡¯t try to bluff. Zhang Baocheng told me, lots of steel balls were found at the site of Xiao Kong¡¯s disappearance; those must have been fired from your drone. Coupled with your skills, it¡¯s possible that you ambushed Xiao Kong sessfully when he was off guard. By the way, Xiao Kong is my brother.¡±


    Yan Fei inwardly cursed his luck; Xiao Kong was the brother of this burly man, so the situation definitely couldn¡¯t end well. At the same time, he couldn¡¯t help admiring the burly man¡¯s deductive reasoning, which had brought him so close to the truth. He answered, ¡°You¡¯re just trying to use me first. You attacked me as soon as you saw me. I have no idea what¡¯s going on.¡±


    The burly man continued, ¡°I noticed you when the vi caught fire. When you scaled the wall to escape, I suspected you had something to hide. Catching up and seeing your strength and the drone, I could be sure that my brother¡¯s disappearance was rted to you, so your excuses are useless.¡±


    Yan Fei stopped talking and began to think of a way to extricate himself from the situation.


    The burly man spoke again, ¡°I came here to investigate my brother¡¯s disappearance on Zhang Baocheng¡¯s behalf, and I don¡¯t mind telling you: my brother had something very important on him. Just give me back my brother and the items he carried, and I can promise you a swift death.¡±


    After Yan Fei had killed Xiao Kong, he had ced Xiao Kong¡¯s body in the Universal Space without having the time to deal with it or check what the body had on it. Now seeing how much the burly man cared about the items on Xiao Kong, it seemed he might have missed something important.


    Just then, the drone, using its advanced imaging system, had finished mapping the entire cliff and the terrain below. Analyzing the structure of the cliff in his mind, Yan Fei suddenly had a stratagem.


    So the drone flying above suddenly started to move erratically, imitating a malfunction. It then began to fall in a precarious manner into the cliff below, followed by a series of noises as it collided with the cliff face.


    The burly man, not knowing the reason, thought the drone had lost control and crashed, and let his guard down. After all, even though the drone¡¯s steel ball bullets couldn¡¯t harm him, they were still a significant threat that had prevented him from dealing with Yan Fei without worry.


    Seeing the drone crash, Yan Fei feigned disappointment, pulled off the stic mask on his face, and revealed his true appearance, saying, ¡°With things as they are, there¡¯s no need for me to keep hiding from you. Yes, your brother¡¯s disappearance has to do with me. But he hasn¡¯t just disappeared, he was killed by me.¡±

 Chapter 23 - 17: Escape from Death

    Chapter 23: Chapter 17: Escape from Death


    Hearing Yan Fei¡¯s words, the burly man became immensely angry and shouted loudly, ¡°You damn guy, you really killed my brother.¡±


    Yan Fei replied indifferently, ¡°Your brother tried to kill me but ended up killed in self-defense. I was just striking back to protect myself.¡±


    As Yan Fei spoke, he reached into his chest, but in the Universal Space, he found Xiao Kong¡¯s corpse and pulled a ring off his finger. After wiping it on Xiao Kong¡¯s clothing, he pretended to take it out from his chest and threw it to the burly man, saying, ¡°You should recognize this, right? I found this ring on his body.¡±


    The burly man caught the ring and saw that it was indeed an item from his brother¡¯s possession. His rage was uncontroble as he yelled, ¡°Where did you put my brother¡¯s body?¡±


    Yan Fei pointed down to the cliff below and said, ¡°That night, he chased after me and was killed in my ambush. Then I threw his body down there. At the time, seeing that the ring was somewhat valuable, I kept it as a souvenir.¡±


    The burly man asked with a serious expression, ¡°Besides the ring, did you find anything else on him?¡±


    Yan Fei shook his head and said, ¡°After I killed him, I was somewhat scared, so I took the ring and threw his body down from here without looking for other items on him.¡±


    The burly man suddenly calmed down and said, ¡°Take me down to find my brother¡¯s body.¡±


    Yan Fei waved his hand and said, ¡°You see, this is a cliff, and there are no ropes. How can we go down?¡±


    The burly man, seemingly impatient about something on his brother¡¯s person, didn¡¯t wait for Zhang Baocheng¡¯s men to arrive. He pointed ahead and said, ¡°There¡¯s a vine on the cliff; we can go down by holding onto it.¡±


    Yan Fei said somewhat helplessly, ¡°Alright, then!¡±


    The burly man stamped his foot on the ground, producing a loud boom, and a huge crack appeared on the tform. He said, ¡°You¡¯ve seen my strength. With just a flick of my finger, I can kill you, so don¡¯t try any tricks, or you¡¯ll regret evering into this world.¡±


    The burly man pulled up the vine on the cliff, yanked it a few times, and finding it sturdy, he said, ¡°You go down first; I¡¯ll be right above you. If you try anything funny, I¡¯ll immediately break the vine and you¡¯ll be left without a trace.¡±


    Yan Fei, without saying a word, grabbed the vine and started to climb down, and the burly man, fearing deceit, quickly followed, maintaining a distance of five meters between them.


    As the two descended more than fifty meters, the burly man saw an odd smile on Yan Fei¡¯s face. He was taken aback and then saw a Drone suddenly flying up from beneath the cliff. Knowing it was a trick, he exerted force and instantly broke the vine, sending Yan Fei quickly falling downwards.


    Yan Fei let go of the vine in his hand and pushed against the cliff wall, swinging to the side, then pushed off again to swing out once more. Finally, he did a somersault in mid-air and caught another vine more than ten meters away, swinging far off.


    The moment when Yan Fei fell and swung away after grabbing another vine happened in just the blink of an eye. As the burly man broke Yan Fei¡¯s vine and prepared to climb back up, he saw the Drone start firing Steel Ball Bullets, and on instinct, covered his eyes with his arms. However, these Steel Ball Bullets were not aimed at the burly man; they were aimed at the vine above him.


    Greatly shocked, the burly man realized that while the Steel Ball Bullets could not break his defense, they could easily attack the vine. More than twenty Steel Ball Bullets hit the vine consecutively and finally broke it. With the vine gone and no support, he suddenly fell downwards.


    With an angry roar, the burly man forcefully grabbed onto the cliff¡¯s stones, his hands instantly getting scraped and bloody, but this slowed his descent. He alternated hands quickly to grab the rock face, trying to steady himself. The Drone followed him downwards, turned its guns, and began firing Steel Ball Bullets at the burly man.


    The burly man, hanging in mid-air, had no ce to dodge and was repeatedly hit by the Steel Ball Bullets. Although they didn¡¯t prate his body, the pain was immense, and he could no longer hold onto the cliff, falling down the cliff and disappearing into the pitch-ck abyss.


    Only after a while did a screame from below. Only then did Yan Fei finally breathe a sigh of relief.


    With the cliff terrain map provided by the Drone Avatar, Yan Fei meticulously nned to finally finish off this terribly formidable enemy. The burly man was a bit careless, and the items on his brother distracted him, causing him not to notice Yan Fei¡¯s set up, otherwise, he would have been the one killed tonight.


    There were actually two vines on that cliff. Yan Fei was very clear on their positions. The burly man, unfamiliar with the area and affected by the darkness of the night, naturally failed to notice the other vine and thus fell.


    After making a move to grab another vine mid-air, Yan Fei¡¯s injuries became more severe. He rested on the cliff, holding onto the vine, and after regaining some strength, he began to climb down. The muscr man belonged to the Mysterious Organization, and Yan Fei had to go down to check if the man had left any incriminating evidence on his body; otherwise, if such evidence fell into the hands of the Mysterious Organization, he would never have peace.


    Clinging to the vines, Yan Fei climbed down. He had descended more than a hundred meters before he finally reached the bottom of the valley. The valley floor was covered in random stones, all stained with blood ¡ª yet the muscr man¡¯s corpse was nowhere to be seen.


    Suddenly, Yan Fei felt an unusual airflow behind his head. He leapt forward, but it was still a step too slow; someone grabbed his neck from behind. He mmed his elbow back, hitting the person in the abdomen hard. The person let out a cold grunt but did not release Yan Fei, instead tightening the grip on his neck even more.


    Yan Fei looked back and saw that it was indeed the muscr man. But now, the man was covered in blood, a horrifying sight, with even an eyeball bulging out. Yan Fei was frightened; could this man still be human? To survive a fall from over a hundred meters, was this some kind of demon?


    Yan Fei¡¯s elbows kept pounding the muscr man behind him, but the man¡¯s arm squeezed tighter and tighter. Yan Fei began to see stars and could not breathe, and his strength rapidly diminished. Luckily, his Drone Avatar was hovering right above, and at Yan Fei¡¯smand, the drone began firing Steel Ball Bullets at the muscr man.


    Previously, the Steel Ball Bullets were unable to prate the man¡¯s defense, but after the man had fallen to the bottom of the valley and sustained serious injuries, the protective white light had vanished, leaving him defenseless against the bullets. The Steel Ball Bullets hit the man, prating his body and inflicting severe damage.


    Suddenly, the grip on Yan Fei¡¯s neck loosened. The muscr man could no longer withstand the attack of the Steel Ball Bullets. He rolled over and quickly hid in a small cave at the bottom of the valley. The drone flew over, ready to continue the attack, but discovered that because of the angle, it could not reach inside the cave.


    With the man taking shelter at the entrance of the cave, Yan Fei dared not approach rashly. The man looked as if he were on death¡¯s doorstep, but his strength was still terrifyingly formidable. Yan Fei was no match for him.


    It took a while for Yan Fei to catch his breath and resume normal breathing, while the muscr man also rested in the cave, trying to recover from his injuries as best as he could. The situation had reached a stalemate.


    After a while, the muscr man coughed loudly in the cave and said, ¡°Despicable kid, you¡¯re dead meat. You have no idea how powerful my backing organization is. Just one word from them, and you¡¯ll have nowhere to be buried. Moreover, I¡¯ve just sent a distress signal outside. Zhang Baocheng¡¯s men will soon be here; you won¡¯t be able to escape.¡±


    Yan Fei felt anxious. The muscr man was still alive and buying time. If Zhang Baocheng¡¯s men really arrived, and with him severely injured, the odds would be stacked against him. He had to leave this ce first. But before leaving, he definitely had to kill the muscr man; having seen his face, it would be a huge problem if he escaped. Yan Fei began to think of a n and started browsing the items in his Universal Space, then he saw the stic Gasoline cans he had prepared, and his eyes lit up. He had stored two cans of Gasoline in the Universal Space previously and used one in Zhang Baocheng¡¯s basement to burn the evidence against him; now, there was one can left. Since the man¡¯s hiding ce was at the bottom of the valley, the lowest point of the Terrain, even though the drone couldn¡¯t attack him, with Gasoline in hand, Yan Fei had a new idea.


    Yan Fei took out the Gasoline can, poured it out, and the Gasoline flowed into the cave following the terrain. The muscr man inside smelled Gasoline and immediately sensed trouble. He shouted loudly, ¡°You little rat, what trick are you ying?¡±


    Once the Gasoline had all flowed into the cave, Yan Fei took out a lighter, ignited it, and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t lie to you just now; your brother was indeed killed by me. Now you can set off to the Netherworld to join him.¡±


    The muscr man finally realized that the liquid flowing in was Gasoline, and he let out a long howl, attempting to rush out of the cave, only to be driven back by Steel Ball Bullets from the hovering Drone.


    Yan Fei tossed the lighter, creating a beautiful arc before itnded on the ground and ignited the Gasoline in the cave with a ¡®boom¡¯.


    The cave was small with no depth, and as soon as the Gasoline caught fire, the whole cave was engulfed in mes. Then Yan Fei heard the muscr man¡¯s scream as he emerged from the cave, aze. The drone fired Steel Ball Bullets again, knocking the man to the ground.


    The muscr man rolled on the ground, roaring in anger. As the fire burned, his body gradually stopped moving, and in the end, he was motionless. Even as Steel Ball Bullets hit his body, he had no response; he was utterly dead.


    The muscr man¡¯s body was charred by the fire, and his clothes and belongings were burnt to ashes. So even if he had any evidence against Yan Fei on him, it waspletely eradicated by the fire.


    It was only then that Yan Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. The strongest Expert he had ever encountered had finally died as a result of his schemes. Reflecting on it, the muscr man had enough Strength to kill him; a moment of inattention and it would have been Yan Fei lying dead tonight ¡ª truly a case of life and death hanging by a thread.

 Chapter 24 - 18 Taekwondo Challenge

    Chapter 24: Chapter 18 Taekwondo Challenge


    After taking down the burly man, Yan Fei finally let his guard down. And with that rxation, he immediately felt all his internal organs begin to ache. Under the violent attack of the burly man, he had sustained serious injuries. Thankfully, his physical condition had greatly improved, otherwise, he would have been lying down already.


    But now was not the time to rest, the burly man had said that he had already sent out information about this ce, so Yan Fei had to leave immediately. The drone had already scouted the surrounding environment; this ce was a valley with no other way out, so Yan Fei still had to climb up using the vines.


    Enduring the difort in his body, Yan Fei grabbed the vines and climbed up the cliff, fortunately not finding any of Zhang Baocheng¡¯s people above. At this point, he had barely anybat power left, and even the steel ball bullets from the drone had dwindled to less than 20. Encountering Zhang Baocheng¡¯s forces now would be unimaginable.


    Yan Fei retraced his original path back, and by the time he reached the highway outside, he saw Zhang Baocheng¡¯s vi engulfed in arge fire, with everyone busy fighting the ze, and nobodying out to look for the burly man. His heart harbored some doubts, could it be that the burly man had lied about sending out a message?


    However, after considering the terrain of the valley, Yan Fei had a sudden realization. In such a remote ce, how could there possibly be a tel signal? Therefore, the burly man¡¯s signal definitely had not gone out, which was why Zhang Baocheng hadn¡¯t sent people to search.


    Understanding the key point and knowing there was no risk of exposure, Yan Fei felt thoroughly relieved. Tonight¡¯s operation had been a sess; he had managed to destroy evidence unfavorable to himself and taken out a fearsome enemy. Although he was also badly hurt, he had fully achieved his goal for this sortie.


    Yan Fei began to tend to his wounds, took out a new set of clothes from the Universal Space to change into, and then took out the Motorcycle once more to return by the original path. The Drone Avatar also followed Yan Fei in the air until he reached a Safe Zone, then returned to the room in Yan Fei¡¯s house, while he himself went back to the Bathhouse.


    When he re-entered the rest room of the Bathhouse through the window, Yan Fei was utterly exhausted. After carefully checking the secret mark he left on the door handle, which showed that no one hade in, and changing back into his previous clothes, his vision went ck and he copsed onto the bed, unconscious.


    The next morning, Yan Fei shouted suddenly and awoke with a start. He sat up, his body drenched in cold sweat, his face revealing a puzzled expression. He had just had a strange dream, a very odd one.


    In the dream, Yan Fei found himself lying in a hospital bed, encountering a beautiful nurse, and then fell in love with her at first sight, wanting to get to know her. But when the nurse turned and left, and he called out to her without response, he grew so anxious that he yelled, and that¡¯s when he woke up.


    The dream was identical to another he had experienced before, right down to the dialogue and emotional details. Since that lovely dream, as time passed, he gradually forgot the appearance of the beautiful nurse until this identical dream brought her image into sharp focus once again.


    There¡¯s a saying, ¡°What one ponders by day, one dreams of by night.¡± Wouldn¡¯t that mean one has to consciously or subconsciously think of such things to dream about them at night? Yan Fei didn¡¯t know if his subconscious mind had ever harbored such thoughts, but he was certain that he had never envisioned such a scene while awake.


    Besides, Yan Fei was in his prime, rarely got sick, and hardly ever needed to stay in a hospital, giving him little chance to interact with nurses. All this made the dreams even more curious. How did the Dreande about? Besides, he didn¡¯t recognize the nurse in the dream, nor did she resemble anyone he knew. What was going on? What was even weirder was that after dreaming twice, Yan Fei himself actually began to feel some affection for the nurse in his dreams¡­


    Like before, Yan Fei had this dream after killing someone. Could it be a premonition? Why wasn¡¯t it a nightmare? Or could it be that something was off with him?


    As Yan Fei was lost in thought, someone knocked on the door from outside the room. The attendant reminded Yan Fei that breakfast was ready, prompting him to stop his spection and put all thoughts aside. After all, it was just a dream, no matter how bizarre, and he could ept even stranger things, like having a drone avatar of his own.


    Once he stopped dwelling on it, Yan Fei noticed that his injuries had mostly healed, and all external wounds had vanished. It seemed that at midnight, during the data refresh, some Mysterious Power acted on him from afar, also healing his body in the process.


    While having breakfast in the dining room, Yan Fei paid special attention to the local news but found no report about the fire at Zhang Baocheng¡¯s vi, nor any mention of the charred corpse of the burly man.


    He didn¡¯t know whether Zhang Baocheng simply hadn¡¯t called the Police Department, whether the police had Blockaded the information for investigation purposes, or whether there was some other reason, but whatever the case, it seemed like the events of the previous night had been ignored by everyone except those involved; nobody else knew.


    That was fine with Yan Fei, who preferred to avoidplications; it was better that nobody came looking for him.


    When Yan Fei returned home, it was ten in the morning. He continued to monitor the news, but there were no reports about the previous night, sometimes making him doubt whether it had all been a dream. However, the injuries on his body assured him that his experiences the night before were unequivocally real, not just his imagination.


    In the evening, Yan Fei left Shanghai far behind, driving a Minivan to a secluded mountain in Lin Province. He found a sparsely popted area and took Xiao Kong¡¯s corpse from his Portable Space to search the body.


    Yan Fei found only a spherical object on Xiao Kong¡¯s body, a ck sphere about the size of a longan fruit, its material indecipherable. Although light, it was immensely hard, rendering Yan Fei utterly incapable of damaging it.


    Besides that, there was nothing else found on Xiao Kong¡¯s corpse.


    Holding the ck sphere before his eyes, Yan Fei examined it but noticed nothing out of the ordinary. He wondered if this ck sphere was really what the burly man was concerned about.


    After observing it for a while and discerning no anomalies, Yan Fei ced the ck sphere back into the Universal Space to study it at leisureter.


    The ability of the Universal Space to halt time meant that, despite Xiao Kong¡¯s body lingering there for an extended period, it remained unchanged when retrieved, just like when it was first ced inside.


    Looking at Xiao Kong¡¯s mutted corpse on the ground, Yan Fei pondered and decided to dig a deep pit to bury it. After all, having a corpse, especially one in such a ghastly state, within his Portable Space and carrying it around daily was disturbing.


    After dealing with Xiao Kong¡¯s body, Yan Fei returned to Shanghai on the same night. Over the following days, he watched the news carefully for any mention rted to him, while diligently attending Beyond Fitness Center daily to learn Kung Fu from Wang Yong.


    The brawl with the frenzied bruiser that night had revealed Yan Fei¡¯s own weakness; his perceived great progress was insignificant before a true expert, barely worth mentioning and not even enough for a counterattack. Even his trump card, the Drone with Steel Ball Bullets, proved too weak; against an expert like the bruiser, it could only serve as a diversion.


    With no better options at hand, Yan Fei chose to improve his strength. The Kung Fu techniques taught by Wang Yong were the best way to do so.


    Wang Yong still taught the basics of Kung Fu, asionally exining some points relevant forbat. With his own experiences, Yan Fei made substantial gains and increasingly appreciated the depth and breadth of Chinese Kung Fu. As for his fellow students, without much faith in Wang Yong, their intermittent effort yielded no results.


    One day, while Yan Fei was deeply engrossed in training, he heard a mor outside; then, a group of people entered, led by a tall, beautiful, fashionably dressed young woman who captivated the onlookers with her charm.


    The Taekwondo coach at the fitness center ceased training upon seeing the group and went to meet them. While engaging in conversation, he repeatedly gestured towards Yan Fei¡¯s direction. Subsequently, the group, apanied by the Taekwondo coach and his students, made their way toward Wang Yong¡¯s Kung Fu training ground.


    Yan Fei and his ssmates ceased their training, uncertain of what was happening.


    A Taekwondo coach from the fitness center stepped forward and introduced a handsome man behind the young woman to Wang Yong, saying, ¡°Coach Wang, let me introduce you. This is Han Junxi, Vice President of the South Korean Taekwondo World Promotion Alliance. He wishes to meet you today.¡±


    Although the Taekwondo coach introduced Han Junxi, he did not disclose the identity of the young woman, who curiously surveyed Wang Yong¡¯s training ground.


    Before Wang Yong had a chance to speak, the man known as Han Junxi stepped forward and said in broken Mandarin, ¡°Coach Wang, as an instructor of Chinese Kung Fu, you represent Chinese martial arts. Our World Taekwondo Promotion Alliance is preparing to promote Taekwondo worldwide, so we would like to challenge your Chinese Kung Fu to see which is more formidable, Taekwondo or Kung Fu.¡±


    That¡¯s when Yan Fei and the others realized that these South Koreans were here to issue a challenge. To promote Taekwondo globally, they had to prove that it was the most formidable martial art in the world; only then could they enhance their prestige and attract more people to learn Taekwondo.


    To achieve this, defeating Chinese Kung Fu was necessary, thus targeting Wang Yong and his students for the challenge.

 Chapter 25 - 19: Unable to Withstand a Single Blow

    Chapter 25: Chapter 19: Unable to Withstand a Single Blow


    Yan Fei looked over and saw that among the crowd behind Han Junxi, someone was holding a video camera pointing in their direction, and an anchor with a microphone was standing in front of the camera, softly introducing something, evidently recording a video. And next to them were several people with mobile phones on selfie sticks, also speaking softly, it appeared they were inte live-streaming.


    The other South Koreans also seemed to be in high spirits, with no signs of nervousness; it seemed they were not worried about losing in the martial arts challenge. They were more interested in making a statement, proving that Taekwondo could defeat Chinese Kung Fu.


    Wang Yong was not one to smile or speak much on regr days. Now, despite peopleing to his door to challenge him, he remained calm and said, ¡°Chinese Kung Fu is broad and profound. What I¡¯ve learned is merely superficial, far from the threshold of mastery, I cannot represent Chinese Kung Fu. So if you want to challenge Chinese Kung Fu, you should find someone more skilled.¡±


    Han Junxi sneered arrogantly, ¡°Our South Korean Taekwondo is the best in the world, no matter who the opponent, we will defeat them. So it doesn¡¯t matter whether wee to you or any other Kung Fu experts, you all will end up begging for mercy on your knees. We¡¯ve chosen you because this is Shanghai, the most economically advanced ce in China, making it the first stop for our Taekwondo to conquer Chinese Kung Fu. After defeating you, we will naturally go and challenge other experts. Besides, you¡¯ve admitted yourself that your skills are subpar. Teaching others Kung Fu in that condition could mislead the younger generation.¡±


    The activity at the Kung Fu training ground quickly drew the attention of the Karate coaches and students nearby, so they stopped their training and all gathered around, curiously watching this rare martial arts challenge unfold.


    Previously, the Taekwondo coach stepped forward again and said, ¡°Coach Wang, our Taekwondo Alliance¡¯s goal is not topete for victory or defeat but to demonstrate that our Taekwondo is not only powerful but also has more advanced teaching methods than Chinese Kung Fu. Look at our Taekwondo students behind us. They have not been practicing Taekwondo for very long, about the same amount of time your students have been practicing Kung Fu. Let¡¯s have a few matches between them to see who is better.¡±


    Yan Fei felt disdainful, these South Koreans clearly had ill intentions. The Taekwondo students might truly not have trained for long, but if they were chosen toe forward, they must have learned some effective fighting techniques, and undoubtedly have considerablebat strength.


    On the other hand, looking at Wang Yong¡¯s students, each of them had only practiced basic Kung Fu forms, rarely sparred, and some of them only practiced fancy but impractical moves. Plus, with Wang Yong¡¯sx teaching style and hisck of strict demands on them, their mental state was also poor, scarcely stronger than the average person,pletelyckingbat power.


    Comparing the two, the Taekwondo students easily outshone the Kung Fu students. The South Koreans had also noticed this, which is why they came so boldly to challenge and broadcast it live, with the intention of showing off Taekwondo¡¯s prowess while suppressing Chinese Kung Fu.


    Wang Yong shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we practice Chinese Kung Fu for the sake of improving physical health, not for bravado and violence. Therefore, I refuse to let my studentspete with you.¡±


    Then Han Junxi mocked, ¡°So it turns out that those who practice Chinese Kung Fu are cowards, without even the courage to ept a challenge.¡±


    He then leaned into the camera lens and said in Korean, ¡°Dear South Korean friends, do you see this? Those Chinese people praise their Kung Fu to the sky, as if it¡¯s the best in the world, but they¡¯re just a bunch of cowards. We Taekwondo folks, even just a beginner who has practiced for a few days, will step forward when challenged. This shows that Chinese Kung Fu is utterly useless; it¡¯s all talk. Taekwondo is clearly the best!¡±


    After Han Junxi ridiculed Chinese Kung Fu in front of the camera, he turned back to Wang Yong and said, ¡°Coach Wang, look at the logo on this video camera; it belongs to our domestic WSSB TV Station, and they are live broadcasting this Taekwondo challenge against Kung Fu. And those inte live-streamers, they are well-known in both South Korea and China, with high poprity in both countries. They are live-streaming as well. This means that arge number of people are currently watching this challenge match. If you dare not ept the challenge, the reputation of Chinese Kung Fu will be tarnished, with no chance of revival.¡±


    Wang Yong finally changed his expression, not expecting to be broadcasted live by the opposing side. He wanted to stop it but didn¡¯t know how to act. He also didn¡¯t dare to take the responsibility of bringing shame to Chinese Kung Fu; otherwise, he would be a sinner in China for all eternity. He turned his head to look at his students, only to see that they were all cowering, their eyes unnaturally shifting away, not looking at him, showing no confidence for battle. The only one who seemed normal, Yan Fei, had practiced Kung Fu for less than ten days.


    ording to Yan Fei¡¯s principle, knowing that there was a challenge, he should step forward no matter what. But he had recently gotten into big trouble and had incurred a powerful enemy. He wanted to keep a low profile and avoid attracting attention. So, he did not want to take on the task of defending Kung Fu¡¯s honor; let someone else do it! Although Wang Yong¡¯s gaze fell on Yan Fei, he pretended not to see it.


    Seeing that no one among Wang Yong¡¯s disciples ventured forward, a young man by the side of the pretty woman stepped out, pointing at Yan Fei, ¡°Out of this bunch, you look somewhat respectable. So you, you represent Chinese Kung Fu and fight them!¡±


    Yan Fei, standing at 178CM with a well-proportioned build, stood out among the crowd, which was why he caught people¡¯s attention and was now being pushed to ept the challenge. Yan Fei had not volunteered to fight, so others thought he was just a pushover,cking real strength. They were forcing him to take action, as beating such an opponent was more satisfying.


    Yan Fei looked at the young man and said, ¡°From what you¡¯ve said, you should be Chinese, right?¡±


    The young man said discontentedly, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. Although I am Chinese in body, I am already South Korean in spirit. I came here with Miss Choi Kimyin to witness the historical feat of Taekwondo defeating Chinese Kung Fu.¡±


    Yan Fei now realized that the silent, beautiful young woman was called Choi Kimyin, and he sneered, ¡°A good Chinese refuses to be one, preferring to be someone else¡¯s dog. If you really need a master, please find a more formidable one. Even turning to South Koreans, I fear there might be some issues with your intelligence. Your ancestors are probably struggling to keep still in their coffins, aren¡¯t you afraid they¡¯lle looking for you at night?¡±


    The young man¡¯s face turned red, and he quickly retorted, ¡°South Korea is free and democratic, and also economically advanced, filled with handsome men and beautiful women. China doesn¡¯tpare at all, what¡¯s wrong with liking South Korea? Besides, as a martial artist, you aren¡¯t even brave enough to ept a challenge, how can you face practicing martial arts? Aren¡¯t you afraid of losing face for your Kung Fu ancestors?¡±


    Yan Fei stepped onto the adjacent tform, stripped off his training clothes, revealing his strong and symmetrical muscles, and said, ¡°Well, I am the worst practitioner of Chinese Kung Fu, let me see just how powerful your South Korean Taekwondo really is!¡±


    Seeing Yan Fei finally stand up, Wang Yong¡¯s eyes showed a relieved expression. Whereas that young woman called Choi Kimyin, upon seeing Yan Fei¡¯s robust body, seemed quite interested.


    Upon seeing someone step forward, Han Junxi waved his hand, and from the crowd behind him stepped forward a young man barefooted in a white Taekwondo uniform, with a ck Belt tied around his waist. The man had a burly build, with thick and sturdy legs that clearly involved a lot of hard work. This young man got on the tform and locked eyes with Yan Fei in anger.


    Han Junxi approached the video camera and announced loudly, ¡°Hello, dear audience friends, the person behind me is Jin Dongjian from South Korea¡¯s Zhen Dong Taekwondo Hall. His rank is a ck Belt Third Dan in Taekwondo, and he has very powerful strength. He will be fighting against the¡­¡±


    It was only then that Han Junxi realized he didn¡¯t know Yan Fei¡¯s name. As he was about to turn back to ask Yan Fei for his name, he heard a scream, followed by a collective gasp from the spectators. Turning back, he saw Jin Dongjian already far away on the ground, clutching his abdomen and rolling in pain, moaning miserably.


    As it turned out, as soon as Jin Dongjian entered the ring, Yan Fei had given him a fist-holding salute. Jin Dongjian bowed to Yan Fei and then assumed an initial stance, gesturing ¡®please¡¯ with his hands. Yan Fei did not hesitate and rushed forward,nding a kick. Jin Dongjian tried to block, but he did not anticipate the immense force of Yan Fei¡¯s kick, and with that strike to the abdomen, Jin Dongjian screamed in pain, flew back, and rolled on the ground.


    In a sh of confrontation, the victor was decided. Jin Dongjian, considered by Han Junxi to be of great strength, was sent flying with a single kick by Yan Fei, totally losing hisbat power. As for Yan Fei, he imed an initial victory, disying the might of Chinese Kung Fu.


    Yan Fei had just entered the realm of Kung Fu, and he was no match for Xiao Kong and that brawny fellow, but because those two were genuine experts not only inbat power but also in rich fighting experience, Yan Fei could only be crushed by them.


    However, in front of Taekwondo experts who relied solely on speed training for fighting, Yan Fei, who had experienced life-and-death battles, surpassed his opponent not only in strength but also overwhelmed them mentally. With just one kick, he took down a so-called Taekwondo master.


    The lightning-quick exchange, and lightning-fast determination of the victor, stunned all the live audience, and even those watching the live broadcast on television and the Inte. Especially the South Korean viewers, who found it impossible to ept this reality. In their minds, shouldn¡¯t Chinese Kung Fu be mere fancy moves, only fit for pretty action sequences in movies? Shouldn¡¯t it be thoroughly dominated by Taekwondo? How could it be so powerful, defeating the fearsome Taekwondo fighter in just one move?


    Han Junxi started to sweat profusely. He had thought that Wang Yong and his studentscked skill since Wang Yong was unwilling to fight, and so the Taekwondo master he brought would surely win, promoting Taekwondo while pressing down on Chinese Kung Fu. What he didn¡¯t expect was to hit a snag, with his man knocked down in an instant.


    In contrast to Chinese Kung Fu, Taekwondo seemed unable to withstand a single blow.

    Thank you to our book friend, the Commissioner of Police, for their reward!

 Chapter 26 - 20: Thunderous Instant Kill

    Chapter 26: Chapter 20: Thunderous Instant Kill


    The scene was not only broadcasted live by the television station but also through inte live-streams by well-known anchors from both countries. Under their cameras, at least tens of millions of Chinese and South Korean people witnessed the defeat of Taekwondo, which was truly an embarrassing loss.


    Han Junxi looked back at Choi Kimyin and, seeing the dissatisfaction on her face, immediately became flustered. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°I protest. In Taekwondo, we emphasize fair y and never resort to sneak attacks. Therefore, your sneak attack is improper and should be condemned.¡±


    Yan Fei spread his hands and said, ¡°Your yer was ready and even beckoned me to make a move, so that was not a sneak attack but a forthright offense. If you Taekwondo practitioners can¡¯t ept defeat, you should just leave quietly to avoid further embarrassment¡­¡±


    Enraged by Yan Fei, Han Junxi snapped his fingers, and the crowd behind him parted, with a middle-aged man stepping forward. This man was also dressed in Taekwondo practice attire, with a ck belt wrapped around his waist and well-developed muscles on his legs, making him look extremely robust.


    The middle-aged man leaped onto the stage and stood opposite Yan Fei. He shouted something in Korean at Yan Fei, and the trantor immediately interpreted, ¡°My name is Kim Wahee from South Korea¡¯s Hong¡¯s Taekwondo Gym, and my current rank is a Taekwondo ck Belt Fourth Dan. I now challenge you.¡±


    Yan Fei made a fist-and-palm salute and said, ¡°Yan Fei from China, a disciple of Master Wang Yong from the Surpass Martial Arts Gym. I¡¯ve practiced Kung Fu for 9 days, and I ept your challenge.¡±


    Hearing Yan Fei state his background, the group of South Koreans was taken aback. They had not expected that Yan Fei, who had just started learning martial arts, could defeat a Taekwondo master who had been training hard for years and reached the rank of ck Belt Third Dan. Could it be that Chinese Kung Fu was truly superior to Taekwondo?


    With a sneer, Han Junxi said, ¡°You Chinese people are so hypocritical, pretending to be novices when you¡¯ve actually practiced Kung Fu for many years. It¡¯s absolutely despicable. If you¡¯ve truly only practiced Kung Fu for nine days, then I¡¯ll eat the ropes on the ring.¡±


    Yan Fei sneered coldly, choosing not to engage in a war of words. Instead, he looked at Kim Wahee, making a gesture of invitation. To avoid any usations of sneak attacks from the South Koreans, this time he did not attack first but waited for the opponent to strike.


    Kim Wahee bowed to Yan Fei and then, without warning, erupted into action with a spinning leap kick. Yan Fei steadied himself in a horse stance, raising his arms to shield his chest, and managed to block Kim Wahee¡¯s kick just in time. A thunderous ¡®bang¡¯ resounded, and Kim Wahee¡¯s body shuddered as hended and nearly lost his bnce. Yan Fei, on the other hand, grunted and took a step back.


    In the first exchange, Yan Fei managed to fend off Kim Wahee¡¯s attack and also gauge his strength. With strength alone, Yan Fei held an advantage and he began to feel more assured. Previously, when facing Xiao Kong and the brawny man, Yan Fei was at aplete disadvantage, which severely undermined his confidence in his own abilities. Now, after this initial test, he felt a surge of confidence realizing the opponent wasn¡¯t as strong as he thought.


    Kim Wahee was utterly shocked; his spinning kick was powerful enough to break wooden sticks, and many adversaries had fallen to this move, with some even sustaining broken ribs. He never expected his kick to feel like striking a tree when it hit Yan Fei, the enormous recoil nearly making him fall.


    Yan Fei¡¯s eyes were locked onto Kim Wahee as he quickly charged towards him. Before he even got close, Kim Wahee shouted once more, leaping high into another spinning kick.


    Yan Fei sneered inwardly. Wang Yong had taught him that the biggest taboo in Chinese Kung Fu was to take to the air; once a martial artist elevated off the ground, they would lose control over their fate. Taekwondo, in pursuit of graceful postures, involved many aerial maneuvers, not realizing this was akin to courting death.


    As soon as Yan Fei saw Kim Wahee take to the air again, he elerated and closed the distance, delivering a ferocious punch to Kim Wahee¡¯s thigh.


    With Kim Wahee in mid-air unable to change his move, his spinning kick was not even fully executed before Yan Fei¡¯s punch struck. He was then sent flying,nding hard on the ground. He struggled for a bit but failed to get up, a pained expression crossing his face.


    The surrounding South Koreans were astounded, and a team of medics immediately rushed to check on Kim Wahee. They discovered that his thigh bone had been broken by Yan Fei¡¯s punch. This meant that Kim Wahee had sustained serious injuries and lost allbat power.


    The spectators were shocked; Kim Wahee had entered the ring full of bravado but in just two rounds, he was lying on the ground terribly wounded. The contrast was too great. Those South Koreans watching the live stream were as if they had swallowed flies, their prepared cheers of victory stifled back.


    Han Junxi was deeply shaken. ncing back to see Choi Kimyin¡¯s dissatisfied expression, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. With a wave of his hand, the medics approached and carried Kim Wahee away for immediate treatment.


    Just as Han Junxi was about to say something to save a little face, a voice suddenly rang out, speaking fluent Mandarin, ¡°Impressive, truly impressive. I never expected Chinese Kung Fu to have such a sessor¡­¡±


    Yan Fei looked over and saw a withered old man emerge from the group of South Koreans. The old man¡¯s body was gaunt and hunched, dressed in casual clothes, and appeared very ordinary. He slowly walked toward Yan Fei on the stage, and with each step, the old man¡¯s body became more upright; with each step, his build seemed to be stronger; and with each step, his aura grew more intense.


    By the end, the originally withered old man had changed into an imposing figure, bursting with a formidable aura, startling Yan Fei, who faced him directly, and unwittingly, a sense of powerlessness rose in Yan Fei¡¯s heart.


    The gaunt old man had just been standing by Choi Kimyin¡¯s side, with drooping eyelids and a listless air about him, appearing utterly decrepit. Nobody had paid him any attention, not realizing that he was a hidden dragon. Once he disyed his true form, the situation changed dramatically.


    The audience watching the spectacle and the viewers watching the live stream were stunned by the old man. If they hadn¡¯t seen the transformation ur step by step with their own eyes, they would have almost thought that the old man was performing magic. How could a human body change so dramatically in an instant? Or was this old man not human at all?


    The now imposing old man stood on the stage and said to Yan Fei, ¡°Although you defeated those two, they barely scratched the surface of Taekwondo and can by no means represent Taekwondo, so you have not defeated Taekwondo. I trained in Taekwondo when I was young and have some insight into it. I consider myself a sessor of Taekwondo, so let me test you.¡±


    Feeling the old man¡¯s overwhelming presence, Yan Fei knew he faced an unprecedentedly formidable enemy, but he wasn¡¯t afraid. He fought hard against the feeling of powerlessness and ignited a zing desire to battle within himself. He assumed a defensive stance, readying himself.


    Just then, with a loudugh, Wang Yong leaped, as if teleporting, to stand in front of Yan Fei and said to the old man, ¡°You sneaky old ghost, my student has only practiced Kung Fu for a few days and is still a novice. Don¡¯t scare him.¡±


    With Wang Yong blocking in front, somehow the pressure from the old man was severed, and Yan Fei immediately felt relief wash over his body. He looked at Wang Yong, who had suddenly appeared before him, and was struck with amazement; Wang Yong truly was no ordinary person¡ªhis usual mundane appearance was just a fa?ade.


    Despite facing the Taekwondo master, Wang Yong emitted no particr aura, yetpletely cut off the old man¡¯s pressure. He turned to Yan Fei and said, ¡°You step down first. Let me deal with this old South Korean chatan.¡±


    Yan Fei didn¡¯t insist and stepped off the stage to observe Wang Yong¡¯s battle with the Taekwondo old man.


    Seeing Wang Yong suddenly appear before him, the old man¡¯s eyelids twitched, recognizing that he was facing a true expert. Nheless, this was a wee development for him. He finally had the chance to engage in a proper showdown with a Chinese Kung Fu expert and demonstrate the power of Taekwondo to the world.


    Wang Yong and the old man faced off on the stage, thetter brimming with fighting spirit and his aura climbing ceaselessly, as if there were no limit. From below the stage, Yan Fei watched in astonishment, never imagining that a human could exude such aura. Meanwhile, Wang Yong appeared unfazed, unaffected by the old man¡¯s aura.


    Suddenly, the old man shouted and charged toward Wang Yong. Wang Yong stood firm, extending his arms in front of his chest, palms facing inwards.


    In full sprint, the old man¡¯s leg muscles suddenly bulged, bing incredibly thick. He leaped and executed a roundhouse kick with more force and speed than before, generating a sonic boom in the air.


    Effortlessly, Wang Yong sidestepped the kick. Then, with a swift extension of his hands, he pped them together near the old man¡¯s ears. The simple action of pping his hands created a loud boom on the stage, as if a thunderbolt had struck on a clear day.


    The sound was so thunderous that the onlooking crowd felt a tremor, their bones went soft, and they all copsed to the ground, with several people even losing consciousness.


    If those merely observing from the sidelines were affected so severely by the aftermath of the sound, then the old man, who received it point-nk by his ears, fared even worse. Instantly, his eardrums burst, his cerebellum vibrated, and unable to stand, he fell and sat on the stage. Blood flowed from all his orifices, dazed and unaware of his surroundings, utterly devoid of anybat power.


    With a simple move, Wang Yong instantly killed the Taekwondo old man, disying inscrutable strength. The oue shocked not only the live-streaming audience but also Yan Fei, who sat copsed on the ground, agape. He had no idea that such methods of attack existed in the world, nor did he imagine that Wang Yong would be so powerful¡ªto effortlessly vanquish the seemingly formidable Taekwondo old man.

 Chapter 27 - 21: The Realm of Kung Fu

    Chapter 27: Chapter 21: The Realm of Kung Fu


    Wang Yong merely pped his hands, toppling the old man. However, he didn¡¯t pursue his advantage and instead stood still, speaking indifferently, ¡°I only practice one of the most obscure forms of Chinese Kung Fu. Even I can¡¯t be defeated by you, it seems this representative of Taekwondo is not much to speak of! If Taekwondo wants to challenge Chinese Kung Fu, it still needs a lot more practice.¡±


    Han Junxi was so dazed by the loud sound that even his teeth loosened a bit. It took him a while toe to his senses. With a wave of his hand, a few equally unsteady people rushed forward, propping up the dazed, scrawny old man, and retreated in disarray.


    Choi Kimyin¡¯s face was ashen, clearly suffering from the shock of the recent loud sound. She nced at the nonchnt Wang Yong on the stage, sneered, and turned to leave without a word. The group behind her hurriedly followed suit.


    Han Junxi wanted to say some pleasantries, but upon seeing Wang Yong¡¯s upright figure on the stage, he swallowed and quickly followed suit.


    Just then, an employee from Beyond Fitness Center, carrying a registration book, approached Han Junxi and said, ¡°This handsome man named Han, wait a moment, please. I have a record of students learning Kung Fu here, and it shows that student Yan Fei enrolled nine days ago. Since enrolling, he has only practiced the most basic Kung Fu routines, which is enough proof that he hadn¡¯t practiced Kung Fu before. So, indeed, he¡¯s only been learning Kung Fu for nine days.¡±


    Han Junxi responded, ¡°So what?¡±


    The employee said, ¡°I just heard you mention that if it¡¯s really been only nine days that Yan Fei has been learning Kung Fu, you would eat the ropes of this ring. So, I wanted to remind you, lest you forget.¡±


    Han Junxi¡¯s face turned red, suddenly recalling what he had just said. However, upon seeing the thick ropes of the ring, he felt overwhelmed. All the onlookers and the audience watching the live broadcast were watching Han Junxi, waiting to see how he would react.


    Han Junxi¡¯s face kept changing colors; suddenly, he rushed forward, bit into one of the ropes on the ring, and then quickly departed. At the door, he even stumbled and fell. Choi Kimyin, seeing the embarrassed Han Junxi, showed an angry expression on her face and then turned to leave.


    Yan Fei knew that employee. The employee¡¯s girlfriend was crazy about the Korean flower boys, intent on spending all her savings to advertise for her idol in a Subway Station, leading to a fierce argument and their breakup. Since then, the employee developed a strong dislike for anything Korean. Seizing such an opportunity, he presented the evidence to embarrass the South Koreans, not caring if he would be dismissed from the center for it.


    With that, the group of Taekwondo masters from South Korea who came to challenge was wiped out, and the South Koreans all left dejectedly.


    The Inte audience watching the live broadcast immediately became lively. The Chineseizens felt exceedingly proud of the oue and began to spread the news of Chinese Kung Fu¡¯s triumph over Taekwondo everywhere, urging those learning Taekwondo to switch to Chinese Kung Fu as soon as possible.


    After all, in recent years, Taekwondo advertisements were everywhere, and many parents proudly sent their children to Taekwondo schools for training. People were displeased with this, but no one had challenged Taekwondo¡¯s reputation. Now, with Chinese Kung Fu shattering Taekwondo, they broadcasted the news, making sure all of China was aware.


    Subsequently, the mysterious and formidable Wang Yong, and the perfectly built Yan Fei, also gained fame. In a short period, they led a shift in the national aesthetic standards from pretty boys to real men, which was an unexpected surprise.


    The South Korean audience and some Taekwondo die-hard fans were reluctant to ept this defeat, desperately searching for excuses to exin Taekwondo¡¯s failure, trying to salvage its reputation. There were even South Koreanizens who began posting online, saying that the Chinesecked martial virtue for attacking such a frail old man¡­


    Seeing the South Koreans who came to challenge leaving in defeat, Wang Yong¡¯s students were instantly exhrated. They hadn¡¯t expected their coach to be a real Kung Fu expert, which meant they could learn genuine Kung Fu and be invincible. Eager for a bright future, they started to fawn over Wang Yong.


    Wang Yong looked at his gleeful students and shook his head secretly, saying, ¡°That¡¯s enough for today, you all go back.¡±


    The students weren¡¯t discouraged by Wang Yong sending them away; after all, he was already their coach, and by persisting, they believed they would learn real Kung Fu. ted, they collected their belongings to go home, starting to boast to their friends about what they had witnessed today. Just as Yan Fei was about to leave, however, Wang Yong called out to him.


    Yan Fei followed Wang Yong to a room at the back. Although the room wasn¡¯trge, it was outfitted as a training room withplete equipment. It hadn¡¯t been opened to the public, suggesting that this was where Wang Yong usually practiced.


    Leading Yan Fei into the room, Wang Yong turned his back to him and stood by the window, saying, ¡°Yan Fei, are you curious why I, with my adept skills, only teach you basic Kung Fu routines?¡±


    Yan Fei replied, ¡°That¡­ I am indeed curious.¡±


    However, instead of answering the question, Wang Yong changed the subject and said, ¡°I remember you once asked me how the realms of Chinese Kung Fu are divided?¡±


    Yan Fei¡¯s spirits lifted, and he quickly said, ¡°Please enlighten me, Coach.¡±


    Wang Yong looked up at the sky as if lost in thought. After a while, he finally spoke, ¡°There isn¡¯t a uniform standard for the division of realms in Chinese Kung Fu, as different schools have their own doctrines. Still, somemonalities exist. Today, I¡¯ll share my understanding of the realms of Kung Fu with you.¡±


    Yan Fei eagerly said, ¡°Please instruct me, Coach.¡±


    Wang Yong turned to look at Yan Fei and said, ¡°In my opinion, there are three realms of Kung Fu. The first realm is the Acquired Realm. The so-called Acquired Realm involves tempering the body and practicing the membranes, muscles, tendons, bones, blood, and internal organs. The ultimate goal of the Acquired Realm is to strengthen each part of the human body to its pinnacle.¡±


    Yan Fei asked, ¡°What are the characteristics of the Acquired Realm?¡±


    Wang Yong replied, ¡°The Acquired Realm is about strengthening every organ in the body to its utmost, leaving no apparent weaknesses and achieving a state of physical perfection. This realm is the foundation-building stage of Kung Fu; only when the body is trained to a perfect state can a solid foundation beid forter realms.¡±


    Yan Fei inquired, ¡°Can practicing the Acquired Realm enhance the body¡¯s vitality?¡±


    The reason Yan Fei posed this question was that the formidable life force exhibited by Xiao Kong and that muscr man had greatly stimted him; now seizing the opportunity, he immediately voiced the doubts in his heart.


    Wang Yong exined, ¡°The more an organ is trained, the stronger its self-healing ability bes. As long as the body doesn¡¯t sustain fatal damage, it will recover quickly. Therefore, it could be said that the Acquired Realm can enhance vitality. As for the degree to which it can be enhanced, that depends on their level of achievement. If one is an expert at the Acquired Peak, ordinary attacks can no longer kill them, because their recovery ability has surpassed the speed at which they incur damage.¡±


    Yan Fei then understood why Xiao Kong and the muscr man had appeared so formidable, and he asked, ¡°What are the signs of reaching the peak of the Acquired Realm?¡±


    Wang Yong suddenly asked, ¡°Have you ever been to an amusement park?¡±


    Yan Fei was taken aback and quickly responded, ¡°I¡¯ve been there before.¡±


    Wang Yong followed up, ¡°Then have you experienced an amusement ride in the park, something called a ¡®drop tower¡¯?¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°I have.¡±


    Wang Yong inquired, ¡°How did it feel?¡±


    Yan Fei replied, ¡°It was very thrilling.¡±


    Wang Yong pressed, ¡°While the drop tower is in free fall, can you control your body?¡±


    Yan Fei shook his head, saying, ¡°At that time, it¡¯s a state of weightlessness, and the body undergoes extreme stress; it¡¯spletely uncontroble.¡±


    Wang Yong said, ¡°When you can perfectly master your body during the fall on the drop tower, effortlessly performing any motion you wish, it means your body has reached the pinnacle of training and can no longer be improved through exercise. At that time, you are at the Acquired Peak.¡±


    Having said that, Wang Yong stretched out his hand, rolled up his sleeve, and revealed his arm, saying, ¡°Watch closely.¡±


    Yan Fei watched intently as Wang Yong dipped his arm into a nearby vat of ink. When he pulled his arm out, it waspletely covered in ink, his skin looking dark and ink-stained.


    Wang Yong asked, ¡°If you encountered this situation, how would you remove the ink?¡±


    Yan Fei replied, ¡°I would choose to wash it off with water, or wipe it off with something.¡±


    Wang Yong questioned, ¡°Can you ensure it¡¯spletely removed?¡±


    Yan Fei shook his head, indicating he couldn¡¯t. When he had previously gotten ink on his hands, he had to wash several times before the ink would fade gradually. So even if he washed with water, he couldn¡¯t guarantee that the ink on his hands would be thoroughly cleaned off.


    Then Wang Yong fell silent. As he extended his arm forward, the muscles on his arm suddenly bulged outward, then retracted, creating arge gap, only to bulge and retract again. Eventually, all the muscles along his arm started to bulge and retract.


    The frequency of this muscr action elerated, and soon, Yan Fei could no longer discern the trembling rate; all he knew was that it was very fast. With the muscle vibrations, he saw the ink on Wang Yong¡¯s arm being expelled by the muscle contractions. One minuteter, all of the ink on Wang Yong¡¯s arm had been expelled, returning it to its original color with not a single trace of ink remaining.


    Wang Yong stopped the muscle vibrations, retracted his arm, and said, ¡°To remove the ink, I only use my body. I don¡¯t even need to bathe to ensure my body stays clean.¡±


    Yan Fei was astounded. He had never known that humans could exert such control over their bodies. Compared to Wang Yong, his past so-called body training seemed asughable and trivial as child¡¯s y.

 Chapter 28 - 22: God-Level Expert

    Chapter 28: Chapter 22: God-Level Expert


    Wang Yong said, ¡°What I just demonstrated is the perfect control over one¡¯s own body. Under my control, whichever muscle I want to move will move. The palm thunder that I just used exploits muscle tissue to create an absolutely airtight environment, and then the palms close together at an extremely fast speed, generating a huge sound tounch a sonic attack on the enemy.¡±


    It was only then that Yan Fei understood the principle behind Wang Yong¡¯s palm thunder attack.


    Wang Yong continued, ¡°When I used the palm thunder to attack that South Korean old man, if he had also been able to perfectly control his own body, then he could have controlled his ear muscles to droop and block his ears the moment I attacked. That way he would have been uninjured. So even though that old man seemed very strong, able to control his muscles to swell and deform in an instant, he actually has not even reached the Acquired Peak yet.¡±


    Yan Fei suddenly felt enlightened, having never imagined that the human body could be utilized in such a way, nor that perfect control over it could result in such formidablebat power.


    Wang Yong went on to say, ¡°In the Acquired Realm, strength can vary greatly depending on the physical condition of each person. The strongest at the Acquired Peak and the weakest at the Acquired Peak can have a strength difference of at least twenty to thirty times. So you should not judge a person¡¯s strength by the level of their realm, otherwise, you¡¯ll suffer a great loss.¡±


    Realizing that these words were Wang Yong¡¯s instruction to him, Yan Fei nodded, indicating that he understood.


    Wang Yong said, ¡°After the Acquired Realm,es the Innate Realm. The Innate Realm may sound mysterious, but it¡¯s actually very simple. It¡¯s about being able to call upon the entire body¡¯s strength and focus it at one point to exert massive destructive power.¡±


    Seeing that Yan Fei looked puzzled, Wang Yong pointed to the force tester next to him and said, ¡°Hit it with all your strength.¡±


    Yan Fei stepped forward, took a stance, his arm contracted, and then he threw a heavy punch at the force tester. There was a loud ¡°bang,¡± and the force disyed on the tester was 1560 kilograms. Yan Fei¡¯s body, enhanced fourfold, now possessed tremendous strength, even surpassing that of a super heavyweight boxing champion.


    Wang Yong nced at the number disyed on the force tester but showed no surprise. He asked, ¡°Why did you assume a stance and even contract your arm when you tested just now?¡±


    Yan Fei replied, ¡°Assuming a stance is for coordinating the full strength of the body, and contracting the arm is for umting power.¡±


    Wang Yong stepped forward, his fingertips lightly touching the force tester, and asked, ¡°How much strength do you think I can generate if I attack like this?¡±


    After thinking for a moment, Yan Fei answered, ¡°Probably not much, maybe not even one-tenth of your strength.¡±


    Wang Yong smiled and said, ¡°Then watch closely.¡±


    Yan Fei focused his attention and saw Wang Yong¡¯s fingertips lightly touch the force tester. Then there was a loud ¡°bang,¡± and the force tester was actually broken in two. The upper half flew off and hit the wall, shattering to pieces.


    Yan Fei was greatly shocked. Wang Yong hadn¡¯t assumed any stance or umted any power, yet with just a light touch, it produced such immense force. How could this be?


    Wang Yong retracted his finger and said, ¡°Do you think that my strength is so great that even one-tenth of it could produce such an effect?¡±


    Yan Fei nodded repeatedly. Aside from this reason, he couldn¡¯t exin what had just happened.


    Wang Yong said, ¡°What if I told you that the strike just now was with my full strength, would you believe it?¡±


    Yan Fei said with confusion, ¡°You only lightly touched it, how could that possibly be a full-force strike?¡±


    Wang Yong exined, ¡°This is the marvel of the Innate Realm. Once we have perfect control over our bodies, we start to connect internal strength into one stream, able to deliver a full-force strike under any circumstances. That is the Innate Realm. While you can also mobilize the strength of other parts of your body when you attack, you need to assume a proper stance to do so, and the strength you can summon is not much. To give you an example, in yourst strike, you did not utilize the strength of your tongue and ears, but in my strike, I used all the strength I could, including that of my tongue and ears. So when you encounter a real Innate Expert in the future, you must be very careful. With just a light touch, they might possess the force of a thousand pounds.¡±


    Only then did Yan Fei understand the distinction between the Innate and Acquired Realms. It¡¯s about whether or not one can twist the body¡¯s strength into a single force. If he truly encountered an Innate Expert, he would have to be especially careful, as a careless move could lead to a significant setback.


    Wang Yong said, ¡°The moment you start integrating the body¡¯s strength, you¡¯ve entered the Innate Realm. And as you progress with integrating that strength, you reach different levels of the Innate Realm. Once you can focus the entire body¡¯s strength at one point, you have reached the peak of the Innate Realm.¡±


    Yan Fei suddenly understood. When Wang Yong said that a light touch represented all his strength, it meant that Wang Yong had at least reached the peak of the Innate Realm. He then asked, ¡°Whates after the Innate Realm?¡±


    Wang Yong answered, ¡°After the Innate Realm,es the Divine Realm.¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°The Divine Realm! Just the name of this realm sounds incredibly awesome. Does it have any special features?¡±


    Wang Yong sighed, ¡°I¡¯ve only heard about the Divine Realm from my master, I¡¯ve never experienced it myself. Although I¡¯ve reached the Innate Peak for quite some time, I am not in the Divine Realm, so I¡¯m not clear on what abilities it entails.¡±


    Yan Fei thought Wang Yong was so formidable that he would have already been in the Divine Realm; he hadn¡¯t expected that Wang Yong had yet to reach that stage. Just how powerful could the Divine Realm be?


    Wang Yong said, ¡°Since ancient times, it has been said that those in the Divine Realm are unfathomable, even to gods and ghosts. Their use of the body is incredible. They are rumored to be able to harness the Mysterious Energy between Heaven and Earth, making every move powerful with an array of amazing abilities. That¡¯s why some people refer to them as God-Level Experts.¡±


    Yan Fei, imagining the formidable power of God-Level Experts, felt a longing and only after a while did he ask, ¡°Are there many God-Level Experts in this world?¡±


    Wang Yong shook his head, ¡°The emergence of each God-Level Expert is through countless hardships and trials; they are extremely rare. In my lifetime, I have not even met one, so I can¡¯t draw on their experiences to break through to the Divine Realm. I¡¯m not even sure if God-Level Experts exist in this world.¡±


    Yan Fei asked doubtfully, ¡°Is it really so difficult for God-Level Experts to appear?¡±


    Wang Yong sighed, ¡°It¡¯s truly difficult for God-Level Experts to emerge. Even throughout the entire history of humanity, they have been scarce. To my knowledge, only a few like Buddhism¡¯s Sakyamuni and Taoism¡¯s Zhang Sanfeng are truly God-Level Experts.¡±


    Yan Fei was astounded, having not anticipated that God-Level Experts were so rare, with so few appearing throughout human history.


    After Wang Yong finished exining the Divine Realm to Yan Fei, he quickly thought of his own inability to find the opportunity for a breakthrough, and his mood became somewhat downcast. He waved his hand, ¡°You go back first, I want some time alone.¡±


    Seeing Wang Yong in low spirits, Yan Fei immediately took his leave. As he was about to step out of the training room, Wang Yong added, ¡°Kung Fu itself has no distinction of high or low; what suits you is the best. The Kung Fu routines I¡¯ve taught you are only the basics, enough for a starting point. Only by exploring and finding the Kung Fu that suits you can you possibly break through to the Divine Realm. This is also why I only teach you routines.¡±


    Yan Fei nodded, acknowledging the lesson he had learned. With all that had happened today, he needed to go back and sort things out.


    Unexpectedly, when Yan Fei arrived at the training center the next day, Wang Yong had disappeared without a trace, and even the person in charge of the fitness center had no idea where he had gone. This left Yan Fei with immense regret. He had just stepped into the halls of Kung Fu and was looking for a guide when Wang Yong vanished.


    Yan Fei¡¯s fellow students, who were excited about learning Wang Yong¡¯s Kung Fu, also found themselves disappointed by his disappearance. Those who had witnessed the wonders of Kung Fu and wanted to switch from Taekwondo and karate were equally disappointed.


    The fitness center had no choice but to refund the tuition fees paid by everyone and dissolve the Kung Fu training program.


    Left without options, Yan Fei could only return home to practice on his own. With Wang Yong¡¯s reminder, he practiced the taught routines even more diligently, hoping to find the Kung Fu that was right for him.


    For the next ten days or so, all was calm, and nothing unexpected urred.


    Yan Fei continued practicing the Kung Fu routines. Meeting Wang Yong made him realize that aside from mortals, the world was full of extraordinary individuals. With his strength not even reaching the Acquired Peak, he could easily be instantly killed if he encountered a real Expert. Moreover, after consecutively killing two Experts from the Mysterious Organization and disrupting the promotion of Taekwondo, he knew he had be involved in the disputes of the Jianghu, whether he liked it or not. The stronger he became, the more hope he had for survival in the future.


    Likewise, Yan Fei didn¡¯t send the Drone out again. Since the Drone had appeared near Zhang Baocheng¡¯s vi twice in a row, it had certainly attracted the attention of those with intentions. If exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Hence, the n to upgrade the Drone was also put on hold by Yan Fei. His Drone¡¯s current Merit points were a mere 2, a long way off from the 1000 needed for an upgrade.


    Although Yan Fei was still living in the old house, he would be moving away in no more than a month when the area would be demolished. During this period, he saw the various dramas yed out by his neighbors over relocationpensation; they would stop at nothing to get more money, staging one humanedy and tragedy after another.


    Yan Fei didn¡¯t mock them, but he felt sad. It was only because he was fortunate to have an inheritance from his parents that he had solved his financial problems early. Otherwise, he might not have been much better off than them.

    It was only yesterday that I learned about the concept of book lists on Starting Point. I studied advertising methods on the inte and chose to ce ads on Wolf¡¯s book list first. Never did I expect to see Wolf himselfe to appreciate my book this evening, making me feel incredibly honored. The only thing I can do is to create better works to thank everyone.


    The past few chapters were mainly meant to introduce the background and showcase the worldview, and I didn¡¯t expect some people to dislike it. However, from today onwards, the plot returns to the science fiction track, with the Drone making its dazzling entry and starting its ferocious upgrade, and the protagonist is about to begin his wondrous journey!

 Chapter 29 - 23: Found the Lair

    Chapter 29: Chapter 23: Found the Lair


    Yan Fei had gained ownership of that house in the city area, but he did not n to move there just yet. Not because the room was a small apartment with limited space, but because it had only recently been renovated and would need some time before it could be inhabited.


    In addition, this ce was the only inheritance left to him by his parents, where he had spent the first half of his life, holding significant sentimental value. Therefore, he nned to stay in the old house a while longer until the building was demolished.


    That afternoon, when Yan Fei went out to take out the trash, he suddenly noticed several suspicious individuals under a distant tree. These people were hiding in a car, observing Yan Fei¡¯s movements from afar with a telescope, acting sneaky and did not leave even when night fell.


    Thinking they were sufficiently hidden, they didn¡¯t realize that Yan Fei¡¯s eyesight had been greatly enhanced after being transformed by a mysterious power, and he had seen their actions clearly all along.


    Curious, Yan Fei took advantage of the cover of night to send out a drone to get closer and eavesdrop. From the idle chatter of these men, he discovered that they were all underlings of the Marquis, and their purpose was to surveil him.


    It turned out that ever since Yan Fei had twice investigated Zhang Baocheng¡¯s vi, and in the second instance set it on fire and killed the frenzied strongman, Zhang Baocheng had been thrown into a state of extreme panic.


    Because Zhang Baocheng did not understand the intent of the enemy who had infiltrated the vi to set the fire andmit murder, whether it was simply for arson or to kill him, or if their target was the strongman. If the enemy¡¯s purpose was to kill him, then his situation was extremely dangerous. Dodging an encounter once while picking someone up had been lucky, but could he continue to be so fortunate? Therefore, after his vi was burned down by Yan Fei, Zhang Baocheng had hidden in the Marquis¡¯ Lair to avoid any potential assassinations.


    But Zhang Baocheng¡¯s worries didn¡¯t end there. The organization behind Xiao Kong and his brother was formidable, yet both men had met with trouble at Zhang Baocheng¡¯s ce, leaving him with an inescapable responsibility as the localndlord.


    Previously, Xiao Kong¡¯s body had not been found, but the various traces left at the scene hinted at a grim fate. The body of theter strongman, though burned beyond recognition, was identified after testing.


    Upon discovering the strongman¡¯s body, Zhang Baocheng did not dare to dy, quickly reporting the incidents to the organization. The organization was furious, yet it seemed that they were caught up in some internal issues and couldn¡¯t spare personnel to investigate. They severely reprimanded Zhang Baocheng, demanding he find the murderer quickly and retrieve the important items Xiao Kong had been carrying.


    Only then could Zhang Baocheng atone for his fault. Otherwise, his end would be very grim. To find the culprit and lighten the organization¡¯s punishment, Zhang Baocheng had no choice but to draw manpower from the Marquis and start a widespread investigation.


    Knowing the strength of Xiao Kong and the strongman, Zhang Baocheng was aware that anyone capable of kidnapping or killing them had to be very powerful. So, he focused his investigation on experts in martial arts but had yet to find any useful intelligence.


    However, two days prior, during an inte broadcast of a Taekwondo challenge against Chinese Kung Fu, Wang Yong made a startling appearance, executing an instant kill on a Taekwondo master, which suddenly turned Zhang Baocheng¡¯s suspicions towards him. Unfortunately, the next day Wang Yong disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where he had gone.


    Since Wang Yong could not be found, Zhang Baocheng was desperately going around in circles and therefore shifted his focus to Wang Yong¡¯s student, Yan Fei, in the hopes of using Yan Fei to find Wang Yong. That day, Yan Fei also performed stunningly against the Taekwondo challenge but his opponent¡¯s strength was limited, and Yan Fei did not disy overtly powerful abilities during the fight, still appearing within the bounds of a normal person¡¯s level. Thus, Zhang Baocheng did not suspect that Yan Fei could have killed a super expert like the strongman.


    In fact, Yan Fei had previously been on Zhang Baocheng¡¯s list of suspects, not just because Zhang Baocheng had made a move against Yan Fei before, so he considered Yan Fei a potential enemy who might seek trouble with him. But also because at the scene of Xiao Kong¡¯s disappearance, the bloodstained clothing fragments left behind were rted to a garment Yan Fei had worn before, and even Yan Fei¡¯s minivan had been spotted nearby.


    Therefore, Zhang Baocheng had thoroughly investigated Yan Fei, but to his surprise, Yan Fei had realized the issue with the clothing fragments and intentionally wore the same style of garment in public after destroying the evidence. This allowed Zhang Baocheng¡¯s men to take clear photos of him. When they found Yan Fei wearing the same clothes, Zhang Baocheng started to hesitate.


    What Zhang Baocheng did not know was that Yan Fei had two such garments; the first, after being turned into rags during a life-and-death struggle, had been disposed of, and what Yan Fei was now wearing was the second one.


    Although Zhang Baocheng was somewhat hesitant, he had not ruled out Yan Fei as a suspect. He began to investigate Yan Fei¡¯s whereabouts on the evening of the vi fire and was surprised to discover that, ted from receiving the demolitionpensation, Yan Fei had exceptionally visited a bathhouse for a bath and even got a girl to wash his feet, not leaving the premises throughout the night. The next day, he left in good spirits and there were no unusual signs on his body.


    The reason they could so minutarily detail Yan Fei¡¯s movements was that the bathhouse was owned by the Marquis. They could ess the surveince video and interrogate the foot massage therapist who had served Yan Fei, hence they were well-informed of hisings and goings.


    But what they didn¡¯t know was that Yan Fei had intentionally visited the Marquis¡¯ bathhouse after searching the inte about the Marquis¡¯ ces, knowing it belonged to the Marquis. His aim was to deliver the evidence to their doorstep and clear himself of suspicion.


    Zhang Baocheng was unaware of why someone had set fire to his vi, hence he overlooked that the mes had in fact destroyed the evidence collected in the basement. It was due to theck of this critical information that Zhang Baocheng missed the only chance to catch the true criminal, and he erroneously crossed Yan Fei off the suspect list.


    At that time, the altercation between Wang Yong and the Taekwondo master happened, and Zhang Baocheng immediately turned his attention to Wang Yong, deeming him the primary suspect. However, Wang Yong suddenly disappeared the next day, and no one could find him. After running around in circles, Zhang Baocheng once again shifted his focus back to Yan Fei, not as a suspect this time, but to use him to locate Wang Yong.


    The sneaky individuals watching Yan Fei were Marquis¡¯s men. Their goal was to surveil Yan Fei and then trace back to the suddenly vanished Wang Yong through him.


    Yan Fei wasn¡¯t entirely clear about the predicament Zhang Baocheng faced since the rtionship between Zhang Baocheng and that Mysterious Organization was highly confidential, not something just anyone could know. However, Yan Fei was able to deduce some conclusions, and quite urate ones at that, from the conversations of theckeys surveilling him.


    Yan Fei didn¡¯t know what Zhang Baocheng was nning to do to him next, nor did he want to know because he was extremely angry at the moment. Zhang Baocheng had confronted him over and over again, and Yan Fei had run out of patience. He was ready to strike like thunder and thoroughly resolve Zhang Baocheng, eliminating the greatest hidden danger. Defense alone would never solve the problem.


    Yan Fei didn¡¯t disturb the few individuals tracking him, allowing them to continue their surveince. Past ten in the evening, those people finally couldn¡¯t hold up anymore and drove off, leaving only twockeys to continue the monitoring. Seizing the moment, Yan Fei¡¯s Drone Avatar quickly took off and discreetly followed them, heading out of the city.


    With the terrifying experiences of fighting for his life on two previous asions, Yan Fei dared not casually enter the territory of others before his Strength was fully developed. Since he couldn¡¯t be sure whether there were any super experts within others¡¯ territories who could threaten his life, Yan Fei only deployed the Drone to follow from a distance.


    While tracking, Yan Fei tried to keep the Drone as close to the walls of the buildings as possible, not daring to fly at altitude, to reduce the chances of being captured by Surveince Cameras.


    The Drone flew swiftly and unnoticed, following the vehicle all the way to an abandoned Warehouse in the Suburb. What relieved Yan Fei was that the distance to the dpidated warehouse did not exceed his control range of 10 kilometers, and he could continue to operate the Drone from home.


    As the Drone soared in the sky, its HD Camera rotated 360 degrees, allowing Yan Fei a vast angle of observation over the state of the old Warehouse.


    In the middle of the Warehousey arge parking lot filled with dozens of vehicles of different types surrounded by over one hundred tattooed gang members, idly smoking and chatting. Outside, more vehicles kept arriving, with more gang members disembarking and engaging in casual conversations.


    A realization dawned on Yan Fei, who suspected he might have inadvertently stumbled upon their Lair. After observing the surroundings for a moment, the Drone made a rapid move, darting into the shadows under the eaves of the Warehouse like lightning. The whole process was silent and quick,pletely unnoticed.


    Hidden in the shadow under the eaves, the Drone observed the interior of the Warehouse.


    Inside, the number of gang members had surpassed two hundred. They appeared to be stationed chaotically, yet they only encircled the perimeter and no one approached the room in the center. Although the gang members seemed to be casually chatting, they unintentionally guarded the central structure with their backs, indicating its importance to them.


    Among the gang members, Yan Fei noticed Second Xie¡ªthe burly man who often stayed close to Zhang Baocheng, jesting andughing with some junior gang members adjacent to him.


    The Drone concealed beneath the eaves, some fifty to sixty meters from the central room. Under normal circumstances, Yan Fei wouldn¡¯t have been able to see what was happening inside that room. However, Yan Fei wasn¡¯t worried. With a thought, the Drone began to move up, down, left, and right, constantly adjusting the camera¡¯s angle and focus. Then, peering through a small hole in the room, he glimpsed the activities urring within.


    In front of the Drone¡¯s powerful optical technology and sound gathering capabilities of the HD Camera, the walls of the room were practically non-existent, and everything inside wasid bare before Yan Fei.

 Chapter 30 - 24 - Submitting the Letter of Intent

    Chapter 30: Chapter 24 ¨C Submitting the Letter of Intent


    ¡°`


    The room was quite spacious, with only a table in the middle, beside which sat two people. One was indeed Zhang Baocheng, and the other was a burly old man with a scar on his face. Zhang Baocheng wore a respectful expression when facing the imposing elder.


    The two were in conversation when Yan Fei had an idea, controlling the Drone to activate its storage card and begin recording their conversation in real-time.


    Inside the room, Zhang Baocheng said to the scar-faced elder, ¡°Marquis, the situation is as it stands, it¡¯s time for you to make a decision.¡±


    It was then that Yan Fei realized the scar-faced elder was the Marquis who had been causing him trouble. Although there was a scar across the Marquis¡¯s face, his guarded nces added an oppressive feeling, resembling the majesty of Marquises portrayed in film and television.


    The Marquis tapped his fingers on the tabletop without speaking. As Zhang Baocheng grew anxious and was about to talk, the Marquis finally spoke, ¡°Baocheng, I¡¯ve always had a question. Back when we were so carefree and powerful in Shanghai, why did you suddenly drop out and join that organization?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng replied with a wry smile, ¡°Marquis, I¡¯m not afraid to be the butt of your jokes. I was abroad dealing with some private matters, and I fell for a honey trap set by the other party. Under their seduction, I did some bad things that couldn¡¯t be exposed. Then they held that over me and, under their coercion, I had no choice but to join them and work for them.¡±


    The Marquis asked, ¡°Is it under their orders that you¡¯re here to persuade me?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng responded, ¡°Indeed, I am here on their orders to recruit you, hoping you will join the organization as well.¡±


    The Marquis remarked, ¡°An old man like me doesn¡¯t have much time left to live, I shouldn¡¯t be of much value to them. It¡¯s somewhat strange that they would still try to recruit me.¡±


    Zhang Baocheng exined, ¡°Marquis, they have a few ns targeting the domestic front that they need to advance soon, but they¡¯ve found that their manpower within China is insufficient. They need to increase their numbers. Since there¡¯s urgency and no time to train new agents, they can only recruit domestically. They¡¯ve been monitoring you through me all these years. They¡¯re quite aware of your strength, which is why they¡¯ve decided to recruit you.¡±


    The Marquis weighed the matter for quite a while before asking, ¡°If I join them, what are their demands?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng said, ¡°Joining them doesn¡¯t mean you just work for them for nothing; there are many benefits. Firstly, they can guarantee your safety. If you truly can¡¯t stay in China anymore, they will help you flee to the United States, find you a ce, and ensure you live afortable second half of your life. As for your son, Liang, they can also secure a US green card for him and arrange for his settlement in the United States.¡±


    After tapping the table a few more times, the Marquis inquired, ¡°What else?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng continued, ¡°Secondly, once you join them, you will receive a substantial amount of operational funds, which willpletely alleviate the financial difficulties currently faced by the gang. Finally, if you¡¯re willing, they might even send an expert to assist you, helping you to unify Shanghai¡¯s underworld and be the true overlord of this underground world.¡±


    The Marquis chuckled, ¡°The benefits sound decent, but these advantages can¡¯t be that easy to obtain. What do they need me to do?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng said, ¡°If you join the organization, you naturally be one of its members, and the most important thing is toply with the organization¡¯s arrangements. Besides mobilizing arge number of gang members for the immediate tasks of the organization, they won¡¯t make you do overly dangerous things most of the time. But even this task poses no real danger.¡±


    The Marquis inquired, ¡°What specific tasks will I have to performter on?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng exined, ¡°Normally, I wouldn¡¯t be able to discuss such matters in advance, but I can make an exception and give you a hint. Once you join the organization, they will have you establish several civilian organizations, like the Dog Lovers Association, for example. Then you must use this association to gather so-called dog lovers and actively participate in highly publicized public activities rted to dog abuse or consumption of dogs.¡±


    A puzzled expression crossed the Marquis¡¯s face as he said, ¡°My job can¡¯t be as simple as that, can it?¡±


    ¡°`


    Zhang Baocheng said, ¡°This Dog Lovers Association is just a facade. The organization requires you to use the Association as a tform and exploit those dog ves¡¯ love for dogs, to rally arge number of dog lovers. Then, by using hot-button issues rted to dogs, continuously stir their emotions, provoke incidents, and thereby disrupt the normal operating order of government agencies.¡±


    The Marquis responded, ¡°Such a job is indeed interesting. What else is there?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng continued, ¡°You need to take control of the Dog Lovers Association, and then through meticulous nning, use dog abuse incidents to create some not-too-extreme bloody scenes in schools or other public ces. For instance, on the highway, intercept dog transport vehicles, doxx, threaten, and beat those who mistreat dogs, slowly creating chaos and gradually challenging the state¡¯s bottom line. Through such actions, turn these dog ves into a tightly organized group.¡±


    Zhang Baocheng nced at the Marquis¡¯s expression and, seeing nothing abnormal, continued, ¡°Your Dog Lovers Organization needs to have its own slogan. There should be branches in various locations, cultural symbols, your own secret signals and ways of meeting, amon belief and taboos, and a strong sense of cohesion, identification, belonging, and collective honor.¡±


    Stroking his chin, the Marquis said, ¡°In that case, wouldn¡¯t this Dog Lovers Organization essentially be the embryo of a political organization?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng said, ¡°You could say that. After setting up this grassroots organization, when the organization needs it, you¡¯ll create some dog abuse incidents on your own, ignite those dog ves¡¯ emotions, incite them to rampage, with the goal of causing internal chaos in China.¡±


    The Marquis touched the scar on his face and said, ¡°The organization behind you is indeed impressive, actually finding a breakthrough with such a trivial Dog Lovers Association. In the early stages, the state won¡¯t pay any attention to such associations, but once they are well-organized and have an action program, it will be toote to rein them in.¡±


    Zhang Baocheng chuckled dryly and said, ¡°What I do is almost the same. My main task is to buy off some well-known experts on the inte, verified ounts, and some high-traffic anchors on live streaming tforms, influencing everyone¡¯s correct understanding by subtly spreading information like regional discrimination and health rumors. When the organization really needs them, they will jump out and use some hot issues to attack the state, thereby achieving the goal of undermining Chinese unity and stability and causing a rift within the poption. Take, for example, the recent trade war between the United States and China, when everyone internally was united against the threat from the US. That¡¯s when I¡¯ll organize those verified ounts and experts to jump out and say the US is powerful, that we will definitely lose the trade war to them, that we need to be rational, and reflect on why the US is starting a trade war with us, whether we¡¯ve failed to honor trade agreements, etc. Discordant noises in a united voice will disrupt the atmosphere of solidarity, eventually leading to a pessimistic view of China¡¯s future amongst the masses, thus achieving the organization¡¯s strategic purpose.¡±


    A realization dawned on the Marquis. ¡°I thought it was strange that when the trade war first started, China was very united domestically. But then those noisy voices appeared, seriously affecting everyone¡¯s enthusiasm and breaking the united front. So it was your doing.¡±


    A rare look of shame crossed Zhang Baocheng¡¯s face as he said, ¡°China is so vast; if I hadn¡¯t done these things, naturally someone else would. That Chinese people can never unite is not my fault. I just gave them a little push from behind. They can only learn their lesson after suffering a loss, and then they¡¯ll understand my good intentions.¡±


    The Marquis, no longer focusing on the actions of Zhang Baocheng, asked, ¡°You just mentioned that they¡¯re about tounch several ns domestically, hence the shortage of manpower, which is why they thought of me. Do you know what the ns are?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know. For actions like this, the executor won¡¯t know the exact n until thest moment.¡±


    Seeing the Marquis hesitate, Zhang Baocheng said, ¡°Marquis, you¡¯ve also received news. The state is cracking down on crime, so to make an example out of you, Shanghai is about to unleash a devastating blow. Although your previous actions haven¡¯t left solid evidence for the state to seize, with so many subordinates, there¡¯s no guarantee someone won¡¯t betray you. Once your criminal evidence is in someone¡¯s hands, your life is over.¡±


    An angry look appeared on the Marquis¡¯s face; clearly, he also had his sources, knowing that he would not escape the state¡¯s crackdown and that there were undercover elements among his men. He asked, ¡°Facing the state¡¯s crackdown, does your organization have a way to cope?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng smiled, ¡°You haven¡¯t joined the organization, so you don¡¯t know how powerful it is. Once you join, if you are arrested, there will be human rights fighters at the United Nations level speaking out for you. They will distort right and wrong, present you as a pro-Western democrat, pressure the state by using them of serious human rights vitions, blow the issue up at the United Nations, bring it to the world¡¯s attention, and thenpel the state to release you. In this way, the human rights fighters can rescue you. As soon as you¡¯re out, you¡¯ll bebeled a human rights fighter. From then on, you don¡¯t have to worry about your past anymore; you arepletely safe.¡±


    The Marquis, considering his own deeds, suddenly let out a long sigh, ¡°Well, if the state wants to take action against me, leaving no way out, then I cannot just wait to be caught. As long as your organization delivers on its promises, can ensure my safety, and get Liang to the United States, I agree to join.¡±


    Seeing the Marquis agree to join, Zhang Baocheng immediately rejoiced, ¡°Please rest assured, Marquis. The organization behind me is powerful. They have never gone back on their word. Once you join, you will see their strength.¡±


    Now that the Marquis had decided to join the Mysterious Organization, his thoughts took a more radical turn. ¡°Baocheng, now that I¡¯m joining the organization, naturally, I can¡¯te empty-handed. Is there any way for me to make a significant gesture, to show them my worth?¡±

 Chapter 31 - 25 Full Firepower

    Chapter 31: Chapter 25 Full Firepower


    Seeing that the Marquis mainly demanded a pledge of loyalty, Zhang Baocheng was overjoyed and said, ¡°Marquis, Xiao Kong from my side is the liaison sent by the organization. As you know, he has already gone missing. Along with him, an extremely important object on his person also disappeared. Later, hispatriot brother Xiao Long came looking for him, only to be burned to death by someone. Right, that Xiao Long is also one of the organization¡¯s people.¡±


    The Marquis nodded and said, ¡°I am aware of this. It¡¯s just that you hadn¡¯t told me the details before, and I thought it was just an ordinary person¡¯s disappearance and murder! So, they were all people from the organization.¡±


    Zhang Baocheng gave a bitter smile and said, ¡°With Xiao Kong missing and the important object lost, Xiao Long being burned to death, these two had enough weight within the organization. These incidents happening under my watch, I can¡¯t shirk the me. The key issue is that I still can¡¯t find out who the enemy is. Although I have joined the organization, I am merely a minor character. Because of this incident, there are already people in the organization who are dissatisfied with me. The pressure I am facing now is immense, and a single misstep could cost me my life. If you could help me, we might be able to achieve a great merit for the organization and make them look up to us.¡±


    The Marquis said, ¡°Baocheng, just tell me what I should do.¡±


    Zhang Baocheng replied, ¡°Marquis, regarding this matter, I actually already have some suspects in mind, and I have had your men keep them under surveince. If you can help me capture those suspects, we might find a clue that leads us to the murderer. This way we could find the killer, and if we could recover either Xiao Kong or the lost important object, wouldn¡¯t that be a tremendous achievement?¡±


    With a frown, the Marquis said, ¡°You mentioned that Xiao Long was a super expert from within the organization, and even he was burned alive. If among those suspects there truly is the murderer, wouldn¡¯t my subordinates, who are just ordinary people, be wiped out?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng responded, ¡°Marquis, it¡¯s actually not that dangerous. I already have some leads on who the murderer might be.¡±


    The Marquis asked, ¡°Who is the murderer?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng replied, ¡°I suspect that the real murderer is the missing Xiao Kong, who betrayed us for reasons unknown, and took that very important object with him. Andter, Xiao Long, who sought after him, was also killed by him.¡±


    The Marquis said, ¡°So you¡¯re suggesting that the crime wasn¡¯tmitted by the suspects you have in mind?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng said, ¡°This is merely my own spection; it might not necessarily be true. Although I believe that Xiao Kong and Xiao Long fought each other to death, there are still other possibilities.¡±


    Hesitating for a moment, the Marquis asked, ¡°Are you referring to those above us?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng pointed upwards with his finger and said, ¡°Exactly, the organization¡¯s people came to China¡ªhow could the domestic forces possibly be unaware? Maybe those above noticed something and took action. They might have captured Xiao Kong and killed Xiao Long, and it¡¯s very possible that the object from Xiao Kong has ended up in their hands.¡±


    The Marquis inquired, ¡°Have you seen anyone from the upper echelons appear in Shanghai?¡±


    Zhang Baocheng stated, ¡°I suspect that the person sent by the upper ranks is that Wang Yong who made headlines for the instant kill of a South Korean. His strength is immense, he has the capability to kill both Xiao Kong and Xiao Long. But he has suddenly disappeared, and I can¡¯t find him either. Therefore, I can¡¯t confirm whether it was really him.¡±


    The Marquis concluded, ¡°Since the person can¡¯t be found, that¡¯s going to be troublesome!¡±


    Zhang Baocheng said, ¡°If the higher-ups took action, then we¡¯repletely out of options. If Xiao Kong betrayed us and killed Xiao Long, we¡¯re also out of options. But in fact, there¡¯s another possibility¡ªthat the misfortunes of Xiao Kong and Xiao Long are rted to those suspects I have in mind. That would be our opportunity.¡±


    The Marquis said, ¡°What you mean is¡­¡±


    Zhang Baocheng stated, ¡°Capture all those people we¡¯re suspicious of, subject them to severe interrogation, and we might get some clues out of them. If someone resists during the process and disys certain strength, then that person bes our prime suspect. With that, we can report to the organization, and let them handle everything afterward while we im our meritorious service.¡±


    The Marquis thought for a moment and said, ¡°When you asked to borrow my men before, you mentioned that many of your enemies were suspects you were looking into, with the number exceeding thirty, including some with prestige and social status. If I move against them, it will inevitably draw attention from above, and the situation may be difficult to control.¡±


    Zhang Baocheng replied, ¡°Marquis, the nation is cracking down on crime vigorously, and has already issued notices urging underworld members to surrender within a set timeframe. You are on the nation¡¯s cklist and cannot escape your fate. Aren¡¯t you going to seek a powerful backer now instead of waiting to be caught and facing the death penalty? By joining our organization, with such backing, once this storm passes, the organization will have plenty of business for you. You¡¯ll be able tounder your money and enjoy a truly carefree life, wouldn¡¯t that be wonderful? Even if you choose to continue mingling in the underworld, the organization will send someone to help you be the king of the underworld. As long as you¡¯re loyal to the organization, it certainly won¡¯t shortchange you.¡±


    Enraged, the Marquis mmed the table and stood up, saying, ¡°Damn it, I¡¯m all in. If the nation wants me dead, then it¡¯s a fight they¡¯ll get. Bing a traitor is not such a difficult task! I¡¯ll immediately order my men to kidnap all those suspects in the hopes of finding valuable information.¡±


    Yan Fei, controlling the drone from afar, never expected to overhear this shocking secret. He had known that a mysterious organization stood behind Zhang Baocheng, but he didn¡¯t realize that this organization was plotting within the country, aiming to disrupt China¡¯s stable situation¡ªit was clearly an opposing force. Their method of creating chaos was bizarre yet rational, and without careful attention, their schemes could seed, showing that they had seriously studied China¡¯s national conditions to devise such insidious ns.


    It was precisely because he understood the organization¡¯s goals that Yan Fei regarded anyone who joined the organization and helped it achieve its objectives as a traitor. Not only had Zhang Baocheng be a traitor, but he had also managed to recruit the Marquis to the cause as well. Now, these two traitors, in collusion, nned to abduct arge number of suspects as a gift to the organization.


    Previously, the Marquis had not felt a sense of urgency, so he acted with certain reservations and kept some backup ns. Now, facing a dead end, he became recklessly daring, of a mind to confront the state authorities outright.


    Yan Fei, now 23, still harbored some youthful indignation in his heart, despising those who would betray their country the most. He had shed with Zhang Baocheng before and had been the target of Zhang¡¯s numerous attacks, which had at times driven him to want to kill Zhang, but as time passed, Yan Fei¡¯s intent to kill had faded. Yet, at this moment, having witnessed the two traitors¡¯ negotiations, he felt the urge to kill them both.


    Since the Marquis had resolved to be a traitor without hesitation, he had made up his mind to send arge force to capture people. Yan Fei didn¡¯t need to guess to know that his name would be on that list of targets as well, which he inferred from the surveince near his home. Therefore, with no way out, he resolved to strike first.


    Yan Fei was a decisive person; once he made up his mind, all previous hesitations vanished instantly. He intended to eliminate the two traitors, even at the cost of exposing his drone; he could always hide in a forestter, usingrge animals to upgrade his drone, until he became invincible and could seek revenge.


    No sooner thought than done, under Yan Fei¡¯s control, the Drone Avatar suddenly dashed out from the shadow of the eaves, the steel ball gun barrel began to spin, aiming at the gangsters lounging and chatting below, it started firing steel ball bullets.


    Countless steel ball bullets shot out, striking at the gangsters. They were gathered and chatting, somewhat vignt, but with arge group, they never anticipated an enemy incursion, so their guard was low. When the drone unleashed a full attack, the unprepared gangsters were toppled to the ground, with screams filling the air.


    Though Yan Fei hadunched an attack, he did not wish to kill these people. He only aimed at parts below the gangsters¡¯ thighs. What he wanted were Merit Points and, incidentally, to eliminate Zhang Baocheng and the Marquis. Although the Marquis had decided to be a traitor, his subordinates were still unaware; they were innocent, so Yan Fei was merely teaching them a lesson.


    As the drone went on full offensive, Merit Points began to rapidly rue on the virtual control screen. With nowhere to hide in the open terrain, and the steel ball bullets having a long range, the gangsters had no chance to evade the onught.


    Merely thirty secondster, there were no longer any standing individuals in the area. All gangstersy on the ground, clutching their legs and wailing. The steel ball bullets, though not lethal, pierced through their legs, rendering them unable to move.


    The second-generation drone¡¯s firstrge-scale offensive had achieved tremendous sess. In just under a minute, the Drone Avatar had collected 112 Merit Points, a rate far surpassing any previous efficiency.


    Having struck, Yan Fei showed no mercy. Having knocked down the gangsters, he directed the drone towards other gangsters. The others had heard the screams but, with the drone¡¯s swift speed, they hadn¡¯t reacted before it arrived and began its ferocious attack, injuring all their legs as well. Then, the drone continued to the next area for another attack. By the time the drone had made a round of the warehouse, the ground was covered with gangsters lying down, clutching their legs and howling.


    In the midst of the nation¡¯s rigorous crackdown, firearms were confiscated inrge numbers from civilians, and even the Marquis¡¯s subordinates didn¡¯t possess many guns. Coupled with the suddenness of Yan Fei¡¯s attack, they were unable to reach for their weapons in time, leaving thempletely helpless to his barrage.


    While unleashing his violent assault, Yan Fei remained vignt for any expert that might be hidden among the crowd. His past encounters with Xiao Kong and Xiao Long made him exceedingly cautious; he had to ensure he wouldn¡¯t capsize in a gutter.


    Fortunately, after Yan Fei took down all the peripheries¡¯ gangsters, obtaining a total of 319 Merit Points, no expert emerged to stop him.

 Chapter 32 - 26: Start a Massacre

    Chapter 32: Chapter 26: Start a Massacre


    Inside, Marquis and Zhang Baocheng were discussing the details of a kidnapping when they suddenly heard wailing from outside. Both men came out and were immediately stunned to see their own men lying on the ground, wailing in pain,pletely incapacitated, with blood everywhere, and a ck drone hovering in mid-air.


    Although the room where Marquis and Zhang Baocheng were had a hole in it, the door was tightly closed, preventing the drone from entering, so Yan Fei could not attack the two of them. He could only attack Marquis¡¯s men first to earn Merit Points.


    Now, seeing Marquis and Zhang Baocheng open the door ande out, the drone immediately swiveled its gun muzzle, ready to take them out with a few steel ball bullets, but he found that he had enjoyed shooting a little too much, and had actually used up all 500 steel ball bullets. His real body was still seven or eight kilometers away from there, and with more than an hour until midnight, Yan Fei could only regretfully control the drone to turn around and leave.


    Marquis and Zhang Baocheng, facing such a bloody scene, were immediately terrified. It wasn¡¯t until the drone flew away that Marquis finally snapped out of it and started to make phone calls for help.


    Zhang Baocheng was shaking all over; he recognized the drone as the one that disappeared when Xiao Kong went missing. The appearance of the drone here, could it mean that some unknown forces were targeting him? Was this ce no longer safe now?


    When Yan Fei¡¯s Drone Avatar returned home, its Energy Points were nearly depleted, as shooting steel ball bullets also consumed a lot of Energy Points. Fortunately, this sortie earned him 319 Merit Points, adding to the previous 2 points, making the total number of Merit Points 321. If he could do this several more times, his Drone Avatar could be upgraded to Level 3, and his own Strength would also be further improved. By then, facing Experts like Xiao Kong and Xiao Long, he would also have the power to protect himself.


    An hourter, at midnight, the Drone¡¯s data reset, and it immediately returned to peak condition, with Steel Ball Bullet ammunition returning to 100%. Yan Fei once again deployed his drone, heading towards the Marquis¡¯s Lair. Since he had already made his move tonight, he had topletely cripple and crush his opponent; otherwise, once they recovered, he himself would be in big trouble.


    After the Drone Avatar left the abandoned warehouse, the Marquis did not dare to send his injured brothers to a regr hospital for fear of police interrogation. Instead, he called back the rest of his men and also the doctors from the Unlicensed Clinic run by gang members, to stop the bleeding and bandage the wounded legs and feet of his men.


    So when Yan Fei¡¯s Drone Avatar flew back, he saw that the entire Lair was brightly lit, with at least a few hundred people bustling below. He instantly felt an immense sense of satisfaction, as if these people hade just to give him Merit Points. Without any hesitation, Yan Fei controlled the drone to fly into the crowd and began shooting Steel Ball Bullets at the Marquis¡¯s men who had rushed back.


    The stooges didn¡¯t expect the drone to return, and were caught unprepared, attacked once more. Under Yan Fei¡¯s precise control, it took only one or two steel balls to injure a thug. In less than two minutes, Yan Fei¡¯s Steel Ball Bullets were depleted again, and the ground was filled with fallen thugs. This attack resulted in a total of 406 Merit Points, which together with the previous points, brought the total Merit Points to 727.


    Yan Fei¡¯s Drone Avatar had a great harvest tonight, and he flew away thoroughly satisfied.


    Having depleted his Steel Ball Bullets, and with no means to replenish them shortly, Yan Fei finally stopped his attack on Marquis¡¯s men. It was a pity that during the second attack, Zhang Baocheng and the Marquis, afraid, had left in advance. Otherwise, Yan Fei could have finished them off with a few steel balls and will not have to worry about his future.


    Having achieved an unprecedented victory, Yan Fei was very satisfied and went to bed, but both the underworld and legitimate sides of Shanghai were shocked. With so many of the Marquis¡¯s men involved, there were surely spies from all sides among them, so news of the total annihtion of the Marquis¡¯s men by a mysterious drone spread fast, and soon both the dark and light sides of Shanghai were stunned by the news. In the unseen darkness, undercurrents began to stir¡­


    Through the two previous life-and-death battles, Yan Fei deeply realized his ownck of power. Coupled with Wang Yong¡¯s exnations, he recognized the gap between himself and real experts, and so he urgently needed more strength.


    Previously, Yan Fei had been somewhat conservative, too afraid to let his Drone Avatar go out to level up. However, after being provoked by Marquis and Zhang Baocheng, he finally let go and decisively struck, collecting 727 Merit Points in one fell swoop, making the Drone Avatar¡¯s third Upgrade no longer far off.


    The next day, during the day, Yan Fei rested at home, without any action, just hiding at home, paying attention to the rted news. Neither on the Inte nor on Television was there any news about thugs being attacked with Steel Ball Bullets. The thugs who had previously been surveilling his house had disappeared and did not show up again; it was unknown if they were injured in the Lair by Yan Fei the night before. However, both Marquis and Zhang Baocheng were still around, and Yan Fei knew that this matter wouldn¡¯t be so easily resolved.


    On the third day, as night fell, Yan Fei quietly left his home and drove under arge bridge in the north of the city. Nearby was a gang¡¯sir, one that specialized in loansharking and targeted students, particrly beautiful female students. They would do everything in their power to get them to borrow money and then lure them into high spending. Once these pretty girls couldn¡¯t repay the loans, the gang would take their nude photos and threaten to force them into prostitution to pay off their debts, causingplete moral degradation.


    Over the years, this gang had harmed many female university students, and more severely, driven several to suicide. However, due to ack of clear legal definitions regarding campus usury in the country, and it being an area outside thew¡¯s reach, this gang had not suffered any consequences and had enjoyed several good years of stability. Yan Fei had known about this gang for some time, and the local television station had even reported on their wrongdoings.


    Previously, Yan Fei had had no way to deal with this gang, but now that he had obtained the Drone Avatar and needed Merit Points urgently to upgrade, he started to target this gang. After all, nearly all of Marquis¡¯s men had been wiped out by him, and after two attacks, they would undoubtedly be on guard, so for safety reasons, Yan Fei turned his gun on this loansharking gang.


    It was now eight o¡¯clock at night, but Yan Fei chose a remote location where hardly any people could be seen. Lying in the cabin, he carefullyunched the drone, then controlled it as it flew five kilometers away to where the loanshark gang¡¯sir was located.


    When the drone reached the loansharkir, it spotted some gang members in suits busily making calls, appearing very professional at first nce, but Yan Fei knew they were calling students to press for payments.


    Yan Fei didn¡¯t waste words; his steel ball bullets shattered the ss windows, and the drone flew into the room, attacking the gangsters inside. Of course, he aimed below the thighs so as not to cause fatal injuries. Although these loansharks were detestable, they didn¡¯t deserve to die.


    The loansharks, busy at work, were shocked to see a drone flying in and attacking them. Yan Fei¡¯s control of the drone had reached an expert level; even in the confined space, the drone moved up and down without hitting any obstacles, and the steel ball bullet attacks were incredibly precise, leaving no one injured above the thigh.


    There were female employees inside, and Yan Fei did not spare them either, as they too had yed a part in this evil, and were not deserving of sympathy. In just two minutes, everyone in the loanshark office was hit, lying on the ground and wailing in pain, and Yan Fei had gained 62 Merit Points, with 415 steel ball bullets remaining.


    Yan Fei began to recall the drone, then drove the minivan in a different direction. In West City, there was arge Pyramid Scheme Organization, which lured job seekers from all over the country to Shanghai over the Inte by offering jobs, then held them captive, brainwashed them, and coerced them into paying to join the scheme. Once these people paid to join, their personalities radically changed, and they began to deceive their own friends and family, drawing them into the Pyramid Scheme Organization, causing it to grow even more powerful.


    Simrly, the country had not found effective measures to deal with some practices of pyramid schemes, allowing this organization, which skirted the edges of thew, to thrive. And now, Yan Fei had set his sights on this organization.


    Half an hourter, Yan Fei arrived at a secluded street eight kilometers from the Pyramid Scheme Organization, stopped the car, and resumed flying the drone, which quickly reached the organization¡¯s ¡®ssroom.¡¯ This so-called ssroom was actually a farmhouse courtyard, and when the drone flew over, it found the organization¡¯s members resting in their rooms while the core members were holding a Summary Conference. This Pyramid Scheme Organization was veryrge, with over two hundred core members.


    At the Summary Conference, the organization¡¯s leader was passionately recounting the great achievements of the Company in recent times, predicting a grand and splendid future for it. Amidst an almost brainwashing oration, the core members of the Pyramid Scheme Organization listened with great excitement, stood up together to chant slogans, and vowed to recruit more people to join, to expand the organization and create a better future.


    Yan Fei watched, his heart pounding at the unnerving scene; the people inside seemed just like Cult members, brainwashed and unaware, constantly thinking about how to make money by pulling in more people. He felt no pity for such an organization or its members. The drone flew in and began attacking the core members.


    Two minutester, having exhausted the drone¡¯s bullets again and seeing the core members of the Pyramid Scheme Organization crying and clutching their legs on the ground, Yan Fei left contentedly. Now, he had more important things to do because after these tworge-scale strikes over the nights, the drone¡¯s Merit Points had reached 1,000.


    This meant that the drone could finally be upgraded again, and Yan Fei¡¯s strength was about to be further enhanced.

 Chapter 33 - 27 Mysterious Upgrade

    Chapter 33: Chapter 27 Mysterious Upgrade


    Previously, due to a moment of carelessness, Yan Fei forgot that a drone upgrade required raw materials, which resulted in over one hundred thousand yuan in damages to the appliances in his home. This time, he wouldn¡¯t make the same mistake again, so he found a ce early on that could provide arge amount of raw materials.


    That ce was arge-scale garbagendfill on the outskirts of Shanghai. Although in recent years the state had begun to advocate for waste sorting and recycling, the general publked awareness in this regard. Furthermore, the cost of waste recycling was very high, so some areas still resorted to the simple solution of burying the trash after minimal processing.


    Within the waste that was buried, not only were there household garbage but also many scrapped home appliances and even some construction waste. These home appliances and construction waste were rich in various metal elements. Even though the directions for the drone¡¯s upgrade did not specify what raw materials were needed, Yan Fei believed that there must be enough raw materials in thisndfill for the drone to use for its upgrade.


    Moreover, the Drone wasn¡¯t picky at all about the condition of the materials, whether new or old and rusted. As long as it was the same element, it could break them down and make use of them, which is why Yan Fei had set his sights on thendfill.


    After recovering his Drone Avatar, Yan Fei drove out of the city and stealthily infiltrated thendfill in the suburbs.


    If the Drone Avatar were undergoing an upgrade, it would certainly cause some unusual noises. Moreover, during the upgrade, the drone would lose control capability, making it most vulnerable. The upgrade also had to be sessful in one go, so Yan Fei didn¡¯t dare to let the drone go out on its own to find materials for the upgrade. He had to be present in person to provide on-site protection for the drone and handle any emergencies that might arise.


    It was now nearing 11 P.M., and the workers in the garbagendfill had long finished their shifts. The staff on the night shift was huddled indoors, watching television and ying on their mobile phones, with no one patrolling outside. After all, no one would expect that anyone woulde to steal this seemingly worthless trash.


    Yan Fei surveyed the terrain and, avoiding the garbage processing factory where the duty room was located, went to a secluded and hidden spot. Finding it particrly safe, he allowed his Drone Avatar to hover one meter above ground. Suppressing his excitement, he clicked the shing red upgrade button on the virtual control screen.


    As soon as the red upgrade button was pressed, Yan Fei¡¯s consciousness was expelled from the drone. He then saw the four propellers of the drone suddenly stop spinning and be stationary, but the entire body of the drone eerily hovered in mid-air. Then an inexplicable beam burst forth from the drone and began scanning the surroundings.


    Yan Fei could feel the beam but was unable to see it.


    The beam swept quickly over thendfill, and Yan Fei saw that some of the piles of garbage began to dissolve and deform, turning into tiny particles. These particles slowly gathered together to form a fine particle stream. These streams of fine particles flew toward the drone body and then merged into it.


    As these particle streams continually merged, the drone¡¯s body also began to melt and deform. In the end, the entire drone body turned into a transparent liquid. The weird, transparent liquid floated mid-air, undting and rippling like a water globe. And, with continuous streams of particles flowing into it, the transparent liquid slowly grewrger.


    Yan Fei understood that the drone was integrating the raw materials. Once it integrated enough, the drone wouldplete the upgrade. What Yan Fei hadn¡¯t expected was that the upgrade required a massive amount of raw materials. The towering piles of garbage had dissolved by a great deal. Not only that, even the trash that had been buried underground had partially dissolved, with various elements turning into particle streams and integrating into the drone body.


    The ray not only dposed various metal raw materials, stics, and rubber, but also a significant amount of organic waste. Yan Fei had initially thought that the drone¡¯s upgrade required only metal materials; only now did he realize that organic materials were also needed.


    As the buried waste dposed and the resulting particle stream burst out of the ground, the surface began to show numerous tiny holes. Eventually, due to therge amount of waste being dposed, a vast underground space appeared. Unsupported, this massive space suddenly copsed. The ground caved in with a muffled roar, kicking up dust into the sky.


    Such a hugemotion at thendfill site caused Yan Fei to inwardly curse his luck. He had not expected the drone¡¯s upgrade to require such an excessive amount of raw materials, resulting in a substantial sinkhole at the dump site.


    Fortunately, this area was far from the central waste processing nt, and the sound did not carry there. Additionally, it waste at night, visibility was exceedingly low. Coupled with the on-duty staff huddling in their rooms surfing the inte and ying on their mobile phones, no one noticed the anomaly here. But by tomorrow, thendfill workers would surely see something amiss. After all, who could ignore a huge hole in the ground and the fact that arge portion of the garbage was gone?


    As Yan Fei fretted over the possibility of alerting thendfill workers, which could lead to the failure of the drone upgrade, the mysterious rays finally ceased dposing the surrounding waste. Having absorbed a considerable amount of the particle stream, the massive transparent liquid appeared to be saturated, no longer absorbing raw materials.


    Then, the transparent liquid began to change shape incessantly, but it never settled on a fixed form. Just as Yan Fei worried that an ident might have urred during the upgrade, the transparent liquid suddenly emitted a blinding white light, like a sun suddenly appearing out of nowhere, turning the world into a sea of light.


    Faced with the blinding white light, Yan Fei had to close his eyes to avoid damaging them and risking blindness. But the light was fleeting, vanishing in the blink of an eye, making one wonder if it had been just a figment of their imagination.


    When Yan Fei opened his eyes, he found that the transparent liquid had finally taken shape, but into a form that he never expected.


    The upgraded drone had greatly changed in appearance, no longer resembling a small, civilian rotorcraft. The new drone featured an elongated nose with a slight bulge on the top, a pair of long wings at midsection, tail fins that drooped and spread at the back, and a propeller at the very end.


    The entire body of the drone was elongated and smooth, exhibiting excellent aerodynamic properties that instantly conveyed a sense of science fiction. Not only that, the upgraded drone¡¯s body was massive. Yan Fei had to look up at it;pared to the craft, he was just a speck.


    Yan Fei kept rubbing his eyes, which were nearly blinded by the white light, somewhat incredulous at the sight before him. However, once he confirmed that his drone had indeed transformed into this form, he felt utterly dumbfounded.


    In the psed time, due to acquiring the Drone Avatar, Yan Fei had developed a keen interest in the history of drones¡¯ development and had searched for a considerable amount of information about drones on the inte. He was now very familiar with various drone models. So when he saw the upgraded shape of the drone, he immediately called out itsmon name¡ª¡±Predator Drone.¡±


    The reason why Yan Fei could identify it so quickly was that this ¡°Predator Drone¡± had a formidable reputation on the inte. It is one of the most well-known drones of the United States, having proven its strength on various battlefields and considered a formidable force among unmannedbat aircraft. His drone and the Predator Drone of the US Army were identical in appearance, even in color. The only difference was that Yan Fei¡¯s Drone Avatar had no markings.


    Described by the United States Air Force as ¡°medium-altitude, long-endurance,¡± the Predator Drone can perform reconnaissance roles andunch two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles. It is a remotely piloted flying vehicle with a length of 8.27 meters and a wingspan of 14.87 meters. Its maximum operating radius is 3,700 kilometers, with a top flight speed of 240 km/h. It can hover over a target area for 24 hours with a maximum endurance of 60 hours. The aircraft is equipped with photoelectric/infrared reconnaissance equipment, GPS navigation, and an all-weather capable synthetic aperture radar. At an altitude of 4,000 meters, the resolution is 0.3 meters, with a target positioning uracy of 0.25 meters. It cannd softly or employ a parachute for emergency recovery.


    Seeing this drone, a flood of data about the ¡°Predator Drone¡± shed through Yan Fei¡¯s mind. From the statistics, the Predator Drone was incredibly strong. But he believed his drone would be stronger because it had mutated through a mysterious power. Therefore, after his initial shock, Yan Fei couldn¡¯t wait to fuse his consciousness with it, start up the drone, and begin inspecting the detailed data following the upgrade.


    Upon entering the virtual control screen of the drone, Yan Fei discovered the following data disyed:


    Drone Avatar (Level 3)


    Energy ¡ª¡ª 100,000


    Merit ¡ª¡ª 0/10,000


    Universal Space ¡ª¡ª 100 cubic meters


    Drone Length: 10 meters


    Wingspan: 18.5 meters


    Height: 2.5 meters


    Empty Weight: 1080 kilograms


    Payload: 4000 kilograms


    Maximum Takeoff Weight: 5080 kilograms


    Top Speed: 1000 kilometers per hour


    Cruise Speed: 500-800 kilometers per hour


    Maximum Control Distance: 5000 kilometers


    Practical Ceiling: 10,000 meters


    Flight Time: 5-10 hours per day


    Special Abilities: Vertical Takeoff and Landing, Submarine Dive


    Weapons:


    One Vulcan Gun 730: (located in the nose, caliber 30 millimeter, ammunition capacity: 1800 rounds, types of ammunition: armor-piercing round, high-explosive round, incendiary round)


    Weapon Pylons: 4 (located under the wings, each pylon can mount 4 missiles)


    Missiles Avable: Anti-tank Missiles (AGM-114 Hellfire Missiles), Air-to-Air Missiles (AIM-92 Stinger)


    Radar: Quantum Radar (maximum detection distance 500 kilometers)


    The virtual control screen listed out the detailed data of the Level 3 drone, providing Yan Fei with the most intuitive understanding of the drone¡¯s capabilities. After the third upgrade, the drone had truly be a fighter jet, with every piece of data undergoing a drastic transformation.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª


    Thanks to the book friend: China*¡ï*Military Spirit for the reward!

 Chapter 34 - 28: Auxiliary Brain

    Chapter 34: Chapter 28: Auxiliary Brain


    ¡°`


    After the upgrade, the Drone¡¯s Energy Points had be 100,000 points.


    The mysterious Energy Points provided the Drone with powerful dynamic support. As a result, the Drone experienced significant improvements in flight speed, flight altitude, payload, endurance, and control distance, endowing the unmanned fighter with formidablebat capabilities.


    Universal Space expanded to 100 square meters, and with this increase, Yan Fei could store even more items within it. These items, which he could carry with him, would be a strong guarantee in enhancing hisbat power and improving his ability to handle emergencies, also giving him more trump cards in his hand.


    With the Drone¡¯stest upgrade, its Merit Points became 10,000. This meant that to upgrade the Drone again, Yan Fei would need to obtain 10,000 Merit Points. The previous requirement of 1,000 Merit Points for an upgrade had already caused him to ponder and hesitate until he finally made up his mind to achieve the goal. This time, the difficulty of upgrading had increased tenfold, causing Yan Fei a great headache. However, he believed that every cloud has a silver lining and that he would always find a way to achieve this upgrade goal.


    In the data disyed on the virtual control screen, the weapons option had undergone the most change. Only after the Drone was upgraded to Level 3, bing a true unmanned fighter, did truly lethal weapons appear on it.


    Below the head of the Drone appeared a Vulcan gun, which meant that this weapon had seven rapidly rotating gun barrels, firing 30 mm naval cannon shells at a maximum rate of 6,000 rounds per minute. This Vulcan gun came with 1,800 rounds of ammunition, with three types of ammunition: armor-piercing round, high-explosive round, and incendiary round. During attack, the type of ammunition could be changed ording to actual needs, but the total quantity of ammunition was controlled at 1,800 rounds.


    Underneath the Drone¡¯s wings, there were a total of four weapon pylons, each of which could carry four missiles. These could either be Air-to-Air Missiles AIM-92 or AGM-114 Anti-Tank Missiles. The type of missiles could be changed ording to actual needs, but only these two types were avable for changing. Simrly, the Drone also controlled the total number of ammunition, with only 16 missiles per day.


    The most surprising was the appearance of a radar on the unmanned fighter, and not just any radar¡ªit was the cutting-edge Quantum Radar. If the previous data changes, though significant, were still within Yan Fei¡¯s expectations, then the appearance of this kind of Quantum Radar waspletely beyond his expectations.


    Because Quantum Radar was still at the research stage in theboratory, no country in the world had the experience of sessfully utilizing Quantum Radar in practice. Now that the Drone had been equipped with this radar, far surpassing the current global technological standards, it was shrouded in a veil of true science fiction.


    Although Yan Fei was surprised, he was very pleased, because this Quantum Radar was extremely powerful. Its maximum detection range even reached 500 kilometers, it could track 1,000 targets simultaneously, and it was capable ofunching attacks on the 50 most threatening targets, far exceeding the detection and guidance capabilities of the most advanced radar in today¡¯s world. Not only that, the Quantum Radar could even prate various obstacles, possessing superior detection capabilities.


    What was more terrifying was that the Quantum Radar could detect stealth airnes. Once stealth airnes were detected, it meant they could be shot down. Such high-performance radar had already given Yan Fei abilities that surpassed the entire Earth¡¯s technology. From that moment on, Yan Fei had the ability to detect enemies in advance and eliminate them beforehand.


    Of course, Yan Fei also knew that a real battle would not be as easy as he imagined. If the enemy had the support of early warning aircraft, it would greatly weaken the power of the Quantum Radar. If the enemy was an entire country, they would have a huge amount of other information to support them, whereas he had only a lone fighter jet. Facing them, he still had to be extremely cautious.


    The only thing that Yan Fei regretted was that the Quantum Radar required arge amount of energy to operate. This energy consumption increased exponentially with the scanning range and distance. Even with the Drone¡¯s current 100,000 Energy Points, it could only support the Quantum Radar at full power for ten minutes at most.


    After upgrading to Level 3, the Dronepletely eliminated the HD Camera. However, after absorbing some organic materials, under the effect of the Mysterious Power, the entire body of the Drone seemed toe to life. Once Yan Fei attached himself to it, he could explore the outside through the Drone Body without the need for a camera.


    This exploratory capability was extremely strong, achieving a resolution of 0.1 meters even at an altitude of 5,000 meters. This meant that if Yan Fei wished, he could read a novel ced on the ground from 5,000 meters in the air. At the same time, its sound collection function was enhanced, with any sound within a radius of 1,000 meters beingpletely captured.


    The Drone could not only explore these images and sounds, but it could also store the explored contents in its body, and then transfer them to aputer. With such capabilities, Yan Fei had be the legendary irvoyance and Eavesdropping Ability, possessing all sorts of incredible powers.


    Yan Fei was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Drone had special abilities after upgrading to Level 3. Through the introduction on the screen, he knew that the Drone now had two special abilities. One was vertical takeoff andnding, and the second was undersea operation.


    After the upgrade, the Drone could vertically take off and hover like the previous drones, meaning that the Drone did not need a specific airport for takeoff. As a result, it could not only reduce the risk of the Drone being exposed but also significantly increase its operational range.


    Undersea operation, as the name suggests, meant that the Drone could submerge and operate under the sea. This special ability was what most interested Yan Fei because if the Drone could operate under the sea surface, then it could also stay submerged at the seabed. This wouldpletely solve the problem of where to park the Drone and even increase its concealment. If he parked the Drone at the seabed, no one in the world would be able to find it.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Yan Fei continued to study the virtual control screen of the Drone and discovered a brand new function, which was the addition of an Auxiliary Brain.


    Yan Fei did not know what advanced technology this Auxiliary Brain utilized, but its capabilities were incredibly powerful. It could assist Yan Fei in perfectly controlling the Drone. In the past, although Yan Fei had been able to perfectly control the Drone¡¯s various movements, he still found it somewhat difficult to attack multiple targets at the same time. After all, his brain needed time to process data, and during attacks, he would sometimes be unable to react quickly enough, resulting in the waste of one or two steel ball bullets to injure an enemy.


    With the Drone upgraded into a true Fighter Jet, the operations became even moreplex. Not to mention others, just the astronomical amount of data involved in flight alone would overwhelm Yan Fei if he relied on his own brain to handle it. With the Auxiliary Brain¡¯s assistance, Yan Fei needed only to ry hismands to it, and the Auxiliary Brain could then swiftly calcte the data and control thebat drone to perform the corresponding actions. With the help of the Intelligent Brain, Yan Fei could perfectly master the control of the upgraded Drone.


    What Yan Fei found eerie was that within the Auxiliary Brain, there emerged a branch function named ¡°Technology Analysis.¡± Upon seeing this feature, Yan Fei understood what it meant.


    The Drone Avatar had no physical connections like data cables with the external world; its only method ofmunication with the outside was through Quantum Radar. This Quantum Radar could not only be used to detect the position of enemy nes but could also use it to connect to the Inte on Earth and transfer data.


    Through this ability, the Auxiliary Brain could collect various types of knowledge from the Inte,pile and categorize them, and then analyze and calcte to extract the underlying science and technology, slowly building its own Technology Tree. Of course, the current Technology Tree was empty, with the Drone¡¯s technology at zero.


    When Yan Fei discovered the Technology Analysis function in the Drone, he began to have doubts. What exactly was this Drone Avatar, and why did it possess advanced technologies like Quantum Radar and Auxiliary Brain? Since it already had Quantum Radar and an Auxiliary Brain, why was there not even a single low-level technology in the Technology Tree?


    Yan Fei had always considered the Drone Avatar as a fortuitous encounter he had stumbled upon and had never questioned why he received the Drone Avatar. Now, as he discovered the high-tech aspect of the Drone, he began to harbor suspicions. However, even if Yan Fei began to doubt, the Drone Avatar would not provide any exnations, as there was nomunication between them.


    Observing the Drone, its exterior appeared to be the United States¡¯ ¡°Predator Drone.¡± However, his own Drone was slightlyrger in size, had more weapons, andcked any paint, so it definitely was not the US Army¡¯s ¡°Predator Drone.¡±


    Whenpared solely on data, the US Army¡¯s ¡°Predator Drone¡± was nothing but trash in front of this Drone. This was a ¡°Predator Drone¡± that had been magically modified by a Mysterious Power, and it had far surpassed thebat power of the original prototype.


    The Drone was upgraded under the influence of this Mysterious Power, and simultaneously, that Mysterious Power also modified Yan Fei¡¯s body once again, silently. The change had already begun andpleted before Yan Fei became aware of it.


    Consequently, Yan Fei discovered once again that the strength within his body had surged. Following the previous pattern, his physical prowess should have doubled again after this modification, meaning his current physical strength was eight times that before any modifications were made.


    After Wang Yong¡¯s exnation of Kung Fu realms, Yan Fei clearly sensed the changes in his body after this modification. His bodily organs had be more robust, his self-healing ability stronger, his strength greater, and although he still had not quite reached the Acquired Peak, he had already made a significant leap forwardpared to before.


    Originally, Yan Fei was just an ordinary person. With diligent training, he could gradually improve his own strength, but the process was exceedingly slow. Moreover, he was too old and had passed the prime age for martial arts training, so he would never achieve significant martial arts aplishments in his life. However, under the influence of the Mysterious Power, the rate of physical training advanced rapidly, like a rocket, far exceeding the pace of those so-called geniuses. Coupled with his diligence, his future strength would reach unprecedented new heights.

 Chapter 35 - 29 Case Analysis

    Chapter 35: Chapter 29 Case Analysis


    The Drone Upgrade this time brought about earth-shattering changes to Yan Fei¡¯s strength. His drone had truly be a fighter jet, and his own power had also seen a tremendous increase.


    It was at this time that he fully let go of his worries about the organization behind Zhang Baocheng, as he finally possessed the capability to protect himself. Even the most formidable foes would have to kneel down and surrender when faced with his drone¡¯s anti-tank missiles and 30 millimeter naval cannon attacks.


    While Yan Fei was analyzing the Drone Data, the loud noises from the garbagendfill finally caught the attention of the on-duty workers. Several of them had already left the building, driving towards this location.


    With the Quantum Radar, Yan Fei immediately detected thendfill workers approaching, so he abandoned his research on the drone and quickly left thendfill. He found his minivan parked nearby and left the area.


    Meanwhile, Yan Fei also transferred his consciousness to the Drone Avatar and began to remotely pilot it using the Auxiliary Brain. With the help of the Auxiliary Brain, the drone took off smoothly.


    Thanks to the precise control of the Intelligent Brain, Yan Fei¡¯s mental effort was greatly relieved. With just a thought, he could direct the drone¡¯s flight, which was nothing like before when he had to concentrate fully. This allowed him to performplex maneuvers with the drone while his body was free to do other things.


    As Yan Fei familiarized himself with how to control the drone, he drove away from the garbagendfill.


    After the drone became a fighter jet, its size became toorge for Yan Fei¡¯s home to amodate any longer, but he had already thought of a temporary parking location, the same canyon beneath the cliff where he had taken out Xiao Long, the expert from the Mysterious Organization. It was very remote with no signal and rarely visited by people. Even if Zhang Baocheng¡¯s men returned to collect Xiao Long¡¯s body, they wouldn¡¯t revisit that ce.


    Now the Drone Body was sorge, Yan Fei no longer dared to let it fly at high altitudes, but only skimming above the ground. Fortunately, with the Auxiliary Brain and the brand-new Quantum Radar, Yan Fei could precisely understand the Terrain and control the drone to fly just above the treetops.


    Only by flying at such altitudes could he avoid detection by the army¡¯s radars. Although Yan Fei¡¯s drone was impressive, itcked a stealth feature, and its appearance clearly resembled the ¡°Predator Drone¡± of the US Army. So, if it were detected by Domestic military radars, they would definitely shoot it down immediately. Flying close to the ground allowed for evasion of radar detection by taking advantage of radar blind spots.


    Luckily, the Control Distance of the drone had increased to five thousand kilometers, allowing Yan Fei to control it over Ultra-long distances, so he didn¡¯t have to personally travel to the canyon. He drove slowly home, while the Drone Avatar flew at a very low altitude toward the canyon.


    The Auxiliary Brain, with its extremely powerful functions, utilized the Quantum Radar to map out Terrains within a Five hundred kilometer radius during the drone¡¯s flight. This real-time map would then be saved in the Intelligent Brain¡¯s Database for future navigation.


    However, once the Quantum Radar was set to the maximum scanning distance in all directions, the Energy Points of the drone started to decrease rapidly, which rmed Yan Fei. So afterpleting the environmental scan, he quickly reduced the scanning distance of the Quantum Radar to within a hundred meters, bringing the Energy consumption to a level he could afford.


    The drone flew swiftly, adeptly avoiding all obstacles. In just five minutes, the Drone Avatar arrived at the canyon. Under the control of the Auxiliary Brain, the Drone Avatar descended vertically and quickly came to a stop at the bottom of the canyon.


    Although the bottom of the canyon was uneven and charred, it was not a problem for the drone, which was capable of vertical takeoffs andndings.


    While the drone was sessfully concealed for the moment, leaving it there was not a long-term solution. With so many satellites in orbit above the Earth, it was possible that one might suddenly detect the drone hidden in the valley. Therefore, finding a securending spot for the drone to ensure it remained undiscovered was Yan Fei¡¯s top priority.


    Back home, Yan Fei¡¯s excitement slowly subsided, and after the drone¡¯s Upgrade, he felt his power had been turned upside down. Now he finally had the ability to defend himself. However, he didn¡¯t start training that evening to familiarize himself with his newly acquired powers but went straight to sleep instead.


    The next morning, Yan Fei¡¯s appetite had surged again. After eating, he began to practice Kung Fu in the training room, hoping to quickly master his newfound powers. His Strength had doubled on top of its original base and was now eight times what it had been before the transformation. Correspondingly, his body had been tempered to near perfection, edging closer to Acquired Greatness.


    Following the transformation, Yan Fei¡¯s body underwent some amazing changes. As for what those changes were, he would need to discover them during his future practices. However, he believed that without relying on the drone, if he encountered Xiao Kong and Xiao Long again, he might not be able to defeat them but at the very least he could escape safely.


    While Yan Fei was bing familiar with his own strength, the city area of Shanghai had already been thrown into chaos, naturally because of Yan Fei¡¯s violent attacks from yesterday and the night before.


    Since the Marquis¡¯s men had suffered too many injuries, news simply couldn¡¯t be contained, and after Yan Fei¡¯s second attack also injured the doctors at the unlicensed clinics, the Marquis had no choice but to send his injured men to hospitals for treatment. Once this group was admitted to the hospitals, the Police Department quickly received the news, and thus the drone¡¯s attacks were finally exposed.


    But just when everyone had yet to react, the loansharkpanies were also attacked on the following night, causing the number of victims to rise again. The Police Department, having received the reports, was investigating the scene when news of theplete annihtion of the Pyramid Scheme Organization¡¯s core members spread. Within just two short days in Shanghai, more than a thousand people had been maliciously attacked, which had already caused social panic and was considered a major case. Therefore, the Shanghai Public Security Bureau immediately took action, beginning an investigation of the entire incident.


    By this time, whether it was the Marquis¡¯s gang, the loansharking gang, or the Pyramid Scheme Organization, none dared to conceal the slightest bit of information, honestly recounting to the police the detailed course of events. The loansharkpanies and Pyramid Scheme Organizations even provided the Police Department with footage of the attacks from their own Surveince Cameras. However, when the police asked them why they were attacked, they uniformly imed to not know the reason for being targeted.


    In the meeting room of the Criminal Investigation Team at the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, all members of the Criminal Investigation Team were holding an analysis meeting about the drone attacks. The team leader, Wei Chao, was sitting at the podium, listening to the situation reports from his subordinates.


    A female technician named Liu Min was exining the case using a projector.


    ¡°ording to thetest statistics, the total number of victims attacked by drones is ***. All these injuries were caused by steel ball bullets, primarily pration wounds, with all injury sites below the knee. Most injuries are minor, with a few bone fractures, but there were no serious casualties.¡±


    As Liu Min exined, photographs of the bullet wounds appeared on the projector screen. But because there were far too many injured individuals to disy all on screen, they had only selected a few representative photos to show.


    Wei Chao frowned as he looked at these photos, then jotted down a few figures in his notebook and asked, ¡°What about other intelligence?¡±


    An experienced detective named Wang Dong immediately stood up and said, ¡°After analyzing the victims¡¯ statements and the Surveince Camera footage they provided, we also retrieved some surveince videos from the vicinity of the crime scenes, and we have identified a suspect drone. Here¡¯s a picture of it.¡±


    A clear photo of the drone flying close to a building was erged onto the big screen by Wang Dong, with a few more pictures of the drone nearby, though these were a bit blurry and not as clear as the first one. Despite theck of rity, it was clear that the drones in these images were the same one.


    Wang Dong exined, ¡°Based on our investigation, this drone¡¯s appearance bears some resemnce to a drone model produced by Dakong Company known as the EQ-2B.¡±


    As Wang Dong presented, an image of Dakong Company¡¯s drone model named EQ-2B was projected onto the big screen forparison with the suspicious drone.


    Wang Dong continued his presentation, ¡°You canpare for yourselves ¨C while the two drones seem simr, this drone involved in the attacks differs significantly in detail from the Dakong drone. We have contacted Dakong Company, and they have confirmed that the drone is not one they produced. Moreover, they have not seen a simr drone on the market. So, we can be certain that the drone used in the attacks has never appeared on the market, meaning it has either been modified by someone or produced by an entity unknown to us.¡±


    Wei Chao asked, ¡°What about the steel ball bullets that injured people, have you figured out their origin?¡±


    Pictures of the steel ball bullets appeared on the projector, but the bullets were severely deformed and their original shapes were indiscernible.


    Liu Min stood up and said, ¡°Afterboratory analysis, it was found that these steel ball bullets do not have any distinguishing features in their raw materials. This means that anyone could purchase ordinary steel materials from the market and have any workshop manufacture these steel ball bullets.¡±


    Wei Chao said, dissatisfied, ¡°So you¡¯re saying that with the drone and the steel ball bullets it used, it¡¯s impossible to identify the criminal¡¯s identity?¡±

 Chapter 36 - 30: Knowledge Infusion

    Chapter 36: Chapter 30: Knowledge Infusion


    Wang Dong said with embarrassment, ¡°We can¡¯t know for sure, but we are investigating. We have dispatched personnel to visit and investigate the crime scene. After all, drones need to be operated by someone, and the remote control range of these drones can¡¯t be very long. If we investigate the area nearby, we should be able to find some clues. At the same time, we have also started investigating some illegal ironwork shops in the vicinity to see if we can find the source of the steel ball bullets.¡±


    Wei Chao fell into thought, and suddenly, a police officer below said, ¡°Captain, I heard something before that might be rted to this case.¡±


    Wei Chao¡¯s spirits lifted, and he quickly asked, ¡°What did you hear?¡±


    The officer said, ¡°Some time ago, someone reported that they were attacked by a small drone in a park, iming it was using peas. Our colleagues went to investigate and didn¡¯t find anything unusual. After that, there were no more drone attack incidents, and since no one was injured, they didn¡¯t continue the investigation.¡±


    Another officer suddenly eximed ¡°Oh¡± and said, ¡°I also remember, North City Police Station also received a simr report once. They went out and found a few drunk thugs who insisted they had been attacked by a small drone using peas as well. The police saw that they were drunk and, since the thugs weren¡¯t seriously hurt, they didn¡¯t pursue it. It looks like there might be a connection between these cases.¡±


    Liu Min said, ¡°One involves arge drone, the other a small one; one uses steel ball bullets to harm people, the other uses peas for pranks. There shouldn¡¯t be any connection between the two, right?¡±


    Wei Chao stroked his chin and said, ¡°No, these two incidents might have some internal connection. If both were actually done by the same person, it¡¯s not impossible. Think about it, his previous pea attacks might have been just pranks, but since no one caught him, could he have escted his actions? He could have upgraded the drone through technical means, changing the weapon from peas to steel balls.¡±


    Wang Dong nodded and said, ¡°Captain Wei is right. There indeed is a possibility, and this person may be someone who has an exaggerated sense of justice. Look at his targets; they¡¯re either gangs, loansharks, or at the very least Pyramid Scheme Organizations. In his mind, he might see himself as a chivalrous person from ancient times, believing that what he¡¯s doing is righteous, fighting evil and protecting the good.¡±


    Wei Chao nodded and said, ¡°From a criminological perspective, it¡¯s certainly possible for such a person to exist in society. They see themselves as chivalrous, acting heroically everywhere they go. At first, they might only cause small troubles, but if they¡¯re not stopped in time, they escte their actions. In the end, they¡¯re bound to cause major problems. If this suspect really is such a person, then they won¡¯t stop. I believe they will strike again.¡±


    Wang Dong said, ¡°Considering this person¡¯s targets, they mainly attack criminals. Should we provide protection for those who might be targeted?¡±


    Wei Chao said, ¡°We live in a society ruled byw; nobody has the right to administer vignte justice. So this person has already vited nationalws. We must arrest him to eliminate the sense of panic in Shanghai. We will continue our investigation and hope to gather criminal information. We must also discreetly monitor those potential targets, hoping to catch the criminal in the act. For this operation, I have already contacted radio experts from the city; they will assist us in locating the drone¡¯s control source.¡±


    After thinking a moment, Wei Chao added, ¡°Oh right, you mentioned the drone attacks using peas; we should investigate those incidents too, to see if we can find any clues.¡±


    Just as Wei Chao was about to adjourn the meeting, a police officer suddenly came in from outside and said, ¡°Captain Wei, we just received a report that something strange has urred at the Fifth Garbage Landfill in the suburbs.¡±


    Wei Chao asked, ¡°What kind of strange urrence?¡±


    The officer said, ¡°The staff at the Fifth Garbage Landfill reported that arge amount of their garbage had been stolen and that a huge hole had been dug in the ground, with many of the buried items also gone. They suspect that the garbage was stolen too. They estimate that at least ten thousand tons of garbage has been taken.¡±


    Wei Chao was stunned and asked, ¡°Are they certain someone stole their garbage?¡±


    The officer said, ¡°Yes, they are certain that the garbage was definitely stolen. Moreover, the whole event took ce in less than two hours, without any signs ofrge vehicles passing by thendfill.¡±


    Wei Chao pinched his brow and, looking at the officer, said, ¡°You will handle the stolen garbage case. Our main focus now is still on the drone assault case.¡±


    After assigning the tasks, Wei Chao returned to his office, pondering his next steps when the office door was opened abruptly. Slightly irritated, he looked up, preparing to scold the impolite intruder, only to realize an impably dressed young man was sitting on the sofa, smiling at him.

 Chapter 37 Chapter 30: Knowledge Infusion_2

    37 Chapter 30: Knowledge Infusion_2


    Wei Chao was startled and quickly stood up, saying, "How did you get here?"


    The young manughed and said, "I was passing through Shanghai and heard thatst night an eerie white light appeared. It seemed quite interesting, so I came to check out themotion."


    Wei Chao was taken aback and said, "I saw the white lightst night too. It disappeared in a sh, and I thought I was seeing things. I can''t believe it was real."


    The young man chuckled, "I heard you ran into a lunatic who injured over a thousand people with a drone?"


    Wei Chao replied helplessly, "You''re really well-informed, but we are investigating the matter. At the moment, there are few leads, and we haven''t pinpointed a suspect yet."


    The young man said, "I find this incident quite fascinating. Let me handle it!"


    Wei Chao was overjoyed andughed, "I was just feeling troubled about how to deal with this. Since you''re interested, then you can take care of it. I will have my subordinates cooperate with you."


    With a smile, the young man said, "In that case, I''ll be off. You know how to find me."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Chao''s vision blurred, and the young man had vanished, with even the room''s door shut tight as if he had never been there.


    Wei Chao shook his head and chuckled bitterly, failing toprehend the actions of these remarkable individuals. After a moment of reflection, he began to call his subordinates.


    Yan Fei was unaware that the police were investigating him. He was both getting ustomed to his newfound strength and practicing Kung Fu routines. Thanks to Wang Yong''s guidance, he had made significant progress and was now consolidating his understanding. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    The police quietly started investigating the drone attack, but initially, they couldn''t find a breakthrough. They only enhanced security for potential targets and awaited the drone''s next move.


    As for the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng, influential figures in the criminal underworld, they had never before suffered such a humiliating attack. Enraged and embarrassed, they also set up their ns in secret, vowing to take revenge and eliminate the drone and its controller. However, they toocked useful clues on the drone, so they had to bide their time, much like the police, waiting for the drone to reappear.


    The underground world of Shanghai was closely monitoring the drone''s actions, with all tainted individuals on edge. They didn''t know when the next attack would ur or who would be targeted, leaving them no choice but to be on the defensive.


    For a time, various forces waited for Yan Fei''s next move, and the scene unexpectedly quieted down. The criminal activities in Shanghai''s underworld diminished sharply due to the drone incident.


    Five dayster, Yan Fei hadpletely mastered his physical strength. With two life-and-death fights under his belt, he had impressively self-learned manybat techniques from the Kung Fu routines, significantly enhancing his abilities.


    Over these days, Yan Fei was constantly examining his upgraded Drone Avatar. The more he researched, the more amazing he found the drone to be. The most astounding feature was the Auxiliary Brain. As Yan Fei delved deeper, he kept unlocking new functions of this auxiliary device.


    Thanks to the advanced Radar technology, the drone''s Quantum Radar easily prated obstacles like mountain ridges, connecting over long distances to find Yan Fei''s home WIFI. With ess to WIFI, the Auxiliary Brain sessfully tapped into the Earth''s inte using Quantum Radar. Once connected, it began downloading various inte files and data, storing them in its database.


    To be able to decipher the scientific and technological knowledge contained within these files and data, thus perfecting its Technology Tree, the Auxiliary Brain started by downloading the linguistic knowledge of all countries, including scripts, dialects, and ngs. Soon enough, the drone''s Technology Treenguage section listednguage packs for everynguage on Earth. That meant the Auxiliary Brain could read and understand all writtennguages and dialects worldwide.


    Seeing thosenguage packs, Yan Fei grew curious. He clicked on the Englishnguage pack, and a prompt appeared asking if he wanted to initiate a transmission. Yan Fei hesitated for a moment before clicking to proceed. Then his vision went dark as a flood of information infused his mind, making his head swim. When he fully regained consciousness, he realized he hadpletely mastered English.


    He had learned everything about the Englishnguage in an instant, from various word groups and their origins to grammar, even including dialects and ng. He was genuinely proficient, the foremost expert in English, if anyone were to assess his skill.


    Thrilled with his ability to learn so quickly, Yan Fei clicked on the Japanesenguage pack. Again, his vision went dark as a torrent of knowledge was transmitted into his brain. In an instant, he mastered all Japanesenguage knowledge, bing the world''s unrivaled expert.


    However, this time there were some consequences. Yan Fei suffered a severe headache, with blood even trickling from his nose. But he didn''t mind; the rapid acquisition of vast knowledge, even at a cost, was worth it. His biggest regret in life was meeting his genius university ssmates, whose discouragement had wholly eroded his confidence in learning. Now that he had the chance to learn quickly, he was determined to seize it.


    Yan Fei clicked on the Italiannguage pack next, selected to transfer, and a wealth of knowledge streamed into his brain, making him proficient in every aspect of the Italiannguage.


    But the after-effects were severe this time. His brain felt swollen, as if it were about to burst, the pain unbearable. Not only his nose, but his ears and eyes began to bleed profusely. It was then that Yan Fei felt a real fear. He had rushed his learning, and the flood of knowledge in such a short span had severely impacted his brain.


    When Yan Fei looked at the othernguage packs, he dared not click to transfer any more. He realized he had reached his limit and couldn''t risk any further.


    This kind of Knowledge Infusion, without a detailed instructional manual, was haphazardly executed by Yan Fei without any guidelines. He shuddered at the thought now, aware of the risks of his reckless actions. Had he made a mistake and overwhelmed his brain with information, resulting in brain damage, it would have been a colossal joke.


    The experience taught Yan Fei that knowledge should be slowly and steadily acquired. The notion of instant sess was unrealistic.


    Even so, Yan Fei was greatly satisfied. He had gone from knowing a little English to being an expert in English, Japanese, and Italian. He was now a linguistic specialist, a match for his genius ssmates, and it was worth the pain endured to gain this knowledge. The only regret was not knowing his limits for knowledge infusion, preventing him from selecting more useful knowledge for himself.

 Chapter 38 Chapter 31: Undersea Stealth

    38 Chapter 31: Undersea Stealth N?v(el)B\\jnn


    ```


    The Quantum Radar technology was incredibly advanced, allowing for ultra-long-distance scanning, even capable of pratingrge obstacles like mountains¡ªonly the energy consumption was enormous. If the maximum distance omnidirectional scan were activated, the energy points consumed would be astronomical, which the Drone''s energy points could hardly support.


    However, when the Quantum Radar narrowed its scanning range to a very small radius and used it to connect to the Network World, as well as perform various data uploads and downloads, the energy consumption was still huge, but Yan Fei was now able to afford it, which was why he used the Quantum Radar to connect to thework.


    The Auxiliary Brain connected to the inte through the Quantum Radar, allowing for very fast data upload and download speeds. So after downloadingnguage data from various countries, through its powerful calction ability, it decoded all the linguistic knowledge in the world, enabling it to read all the documentary data in the world.


    Afterward, the Auxiliary Brain continued to download various files from the inte, storing these files in the Intelligent Brain''s database. Next, it categorized and summarized this data, then extrapted the technologies they contained to supplement its own Technology Tree.


    Whilenguages were quickly decoded, it didn''t mean that other technologies could also be decoded swiftly. This was because all thenguage rules could be found on the inte without any secrets. As long as enoughnguage use methods were collected, the linguistic technology could be decoded and fully mastered.


    Although technological knowledge could also be found online, most of them were very general, with only a basic introduction. Many specific details were deliberately hidden, so the Auxiliary Brain had to simte those deliberately obscured details with its powerful calction ability to extrapte theplete technology.


    The Auxiliary Brain, although advanced,cked hacking functions and couldn''t break through inte restrictions to forcibly obtain others'' confidential files. Therefore, it could only download free materials through normal channels or register as a member and pay fees to ess confidential materials that could be downloaded. This meant that the documentary data the Auxiliary Brain could download was quite rudimentary, thus it needed to use its calction ability to simte experiments to fill in the significant technological gaps.


    Because of these limitations, the Auxiliary Brain''s analysis of technological techniques was bound to be a long-term process and may not even be fruitful. However, Yan Fei didn''t currently have any particr need for technology, so he let the Auxiliary Brain download data on its own from thework, not focusing on this matter for the time being.


    The Level 3 Drone''s energy had reached 100,000 points, enough to support the Drone flying at maximum speed for five consecutive hours, with a maximum flight distance of 5000 kilometers. With economical cruising speed, the longest flight time could even reach ten hours.


    If the Drone was on standby, merely turning on the Quantum Radar to connect to the inte for file transfers, and using the Auxiliary Brain for extensive calctions, the energy points would be sufficient for two hours. Therefore, when the Drone wasn''t going out, Yan Fei used the energy points forwork connections and technology analysis after ten o''clock every evening, to avoid wasting energy points.


    On the sixth night, Yan Feiy in bed and activated the Drone in the canyon. The Drone rose silently up the cliff and then flew towards the east at the height of the treetops. The canyon was very close to the sea, less than twenty kilometers away, and within minutes, the Drone arrived at the seaside.


    Before, when the Drone Quantum Radar was fully powered, it scanned a terrain map within a radius of 500 kilometers and stored the map in the Auxiliary Brain''s database. Now, navigating with this map, the Drone didn''t have to worry about getting lost and arrived at its destination with ease.


    During the flight, thanks to the Quantum Radar, the Drone avoided all dangers that could expose it. The scope of the Quantum Radar Scan was a half-circle in front of 1 kilometer, keeping the energy points consumption within an eptable range.


    Seeing the vast sea, Yan Fei felt a surge of excitement.


    He flew the Drone tonight with the intention to test the Drone''s sea entry and underwater capabilities. Because hiding the Drone in the canyon still posed the risk of being detected by satellites above, he had to find a hidden location for the Drone, and the seabed was the perfect docking ce.


    Yan Fei chose a very remote coastline, with hardly anyone around during the day, and at night, it was even more deserted.


    The Drone flew silently towards the sea, and when it got two kilometers away from the coastline, with a thought from Yan Fei, the Drone''s nose dipped, and it plunged into the sea water at an angle.


    As soon as the Drone entered the sea water, it began to transform. Its slender and straight wings bent backward and the four weapon mounts underneath the wings automatically retracted into the fusge, turning the entire body into a more streamline shape advantageous for underwater travel. After the Drone transformed, its rear propeller began spinning rapidly, propelling the Drone forward through the sea water at high speed.


    ```


    The drone entered the sea, but Yan Fei felt no pressure from the seawater nor any change in temperature; everything was just like flying in the air. Then he realized that due to the light conditions, the drone could only observe objects within a limited distance at the bottom of the sea, but sound collection wasn''t affected and, in fact, was even clearer and reached further distances.


    Under Yan Fei''s control, the drone began to navigate underwater, propelled by therge propeller behind it, maintaining a fast speed. However,pared to its flight speed in the air, the speed at the bottom of the sea was significantly slower.


    ording to the data shown by the Auxiliary Brain, the drone''s fastest speed at the sea bed was only 150 kilometers per hour. Although this speed couldn''tpare with its aerial flight, it left other ships far behind inparison.


    Controlling the drone''s underwater navigation for the first time gave Yan Fei a very novel sensation. Just like in the air, the drone moved as if it were an extension of his own body, able to perform whatever action he wished. As the drone swiftly advanced underwater, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the Quantum Radar could still be used at the bottom of the sea. However, due to the seawater, the maximum detection range of the Quantum Radar was reduced to 100 kilometers. But for the sea bed, this hundred-kilometer detection range was already more than sufficient.


    With the Quantum Radar scan, the seabed''s terrain map was precisely disyed in Yan Fei''s mind, then recorded by the Auxiliary Brain, serving as a basis for navigation. Although the sea bottom was pitch-ck, with the terrain map provided by the Quantum Radar scans, the drone navigated as easily as walking on a broad road during daylight, making it difficult to lose direction.


    This area was China''s territorial waters, and the average depth of the sea did not exceed 100 meters. But the entire sea appeared somewhat deste, as the seabed had been emptied of fishery resources due to excessive fishing by fishermen over the years. At least in Yan Fei''s Quantum Radar, he had not detected manyrge fish. However, as he headed towards the deep sea, the variety of marine life gradually began to increase.


    When the drone had prated a hundred kilometers into the ocean, the sea bed''s depth had already exceeded five hundred meters. At this depth, Yan Fei found that it became very difficult for the drone to continue diving deeper. The Auxiliary Brain began to issue warnings, and he immediately realized that he had reached the drone''s maximum diving depth ¡ª five hundred meters below the sea bed.


    Thus, the drone no longer descended and maintained this depth as it rapidly advanced eastward. There were now plenty of marine creatures, withrge fish asionally swimming by the drone. Yan Fei could not directly observe these marine creatures due to the pitch-dark sea bottom. All the marine creatures he saw were shown by the Quantum Radar. In the absence of light, the Quantum Radar became Yan Fei''s eyes.


    The drone quickly traversed a coral reef, and suddenly, a shark burst out from beneath the reef, baring its sharp teeth and biting towards the drone''s wing. Yan Fei was startled, and he tilted the drone to avoid the shark''s attack. Then, the drone sped forward, only to find the shark in hot pursuit.


    A thought crossed Yan Fei''s mind, and he maneuvered the drone to circle in front of him, facing the approaching shark. Unaware of why the drone had suddenly stopped, the shark continued its frantic chase, only to see a sh of fire from the drone''s nose, followed by arge hole appearing in its body. With another sh, the shark''s body was torn apart, its blood dyeing the surrounding sea water red, and its torn corpse attracted other fish to tear and bite at it.

    A thought crossed Yan Fei''s mind, and he maneuvered the drone to circle in front of him, facing the approaching shark. Unaware of why the drone had suddenly stopped, the shark continued its frantic chase, only to see a sh of fire from the drone''s nose, followed by arge hole appearing in its body. With another sh, the shark''s body was torn apart, its blood dyeing the surrounding sea water red, and its torn corpse attracted other fish to tear and bite at it.


    As it turned out, seeing the shark in pursuit, Yan Fei had activated the Vulcan Gun on the drone''s nose to attack. A few naval cannon rounds had killed arge shark that had dominated the ocean. Although the missile system was no longer usable after the drone entered the sea, the 730 naval cannon at the nose was still operational. Compared to when in the air, aside from the inability to use incendiary rounds and a shortened attack distance, the 30-millimeter bullets retained their full power.


    But to Yan Fei''s disappointment, although he had killed arge shark, no Merit Points were added on the virtual control screen. He used the Quantum Radar to scan and found an evenrger fish ten kilometers away. The drone quickly moved to that area, the machine gun roared, and he killed the big fish¡ªyet just like before, the drone''s Merit Points did not increase, remaining at zero.


    Facing such results, Yan Fei was stunned. When the drone was Level 1, even attackingrge stray dogs with peas could earn Merit Points, but now killing sharks andrge fish much bigger than stray dogs didn''t yield any Merit Points? Was it because the drone had leveled up and the difficulty of advancing had increased, meaning that attacking lower-level targets no longer yielded Merit Points? If that really was the case, Yan Fei''s wish to acquire Merit Points using the abundantrge marine animals waspletely dashed.


    The weakest Attack Method now avable to the drone was the 730 Vulcan Gun at its nose, firing 30-millimeter caliber bullets, immensely powerful, beyond what a person could bear. Even a hit to a part of the body would result in instant death. Moreover, the bullets were fired by igniting ammunition, a force beyond Yan Fei''s control, meaning every bullet struck with full force. Essentially, unlike before with the Steel Ball Bullets, Yan Fei could no longer aim for non-vital parts of an enemy or reduce bullet power to earn Merit Points. So, would he need to kill 10,000 enemies before the drone could Upgrade again?


    Nevertheless, Yan Fei quickly shook off such thoughts; he was certain he would find a way to level up the drone. He believed that where there''s a will, there''s a way. Since he had obtained the Drone Avatar, there must be a way to solve this problem.


    At Levels 1 and 2, the drone could only rely on killingrge animals and humans to obtain Merit Points. At Level 3,rge animals could no longer provide Merit for the drone. An enigmatic force seemed to restrict the drone''s Upgrading method, leading Yan Fei on a journey he had never contemted before.

 Chapter 39 Chapter 32: Identity Exposure

    39 Chapter 32: Identity Exposure


    Yan Fei continued to control the Drone as it glided stealthily under the sea. While familiarizing himself with the Drone''s underwater navigation capabilities, he also recorded various data from it and simultaneously mapped out the seabed''s terrain. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Compared to flying in the sky, the Drone''s underwater travel consumed a great deal more Energy Points. After all, it had to withstand the sea water''s pressure and break through the water''s resistance to achieve a higher speed. ording to the Auxiliary Brain''sparison of the Drone''s Energy Point consumption at various stages, a full charge of Energy Points could allow the Drone to fly for 5-10 hours in the air, but could only sustain underwater travel for 2.5-5 hours.


    In contrast, the energy consumption of underwater travel was double that of flight in the air. As for the Quantum Radar, although its maximum scanning distance was reduced, its consumption of Energy Points did not decrease at all.


    Yan Fei calcted the Drone''s position, the remaining Energy Points, and the current time, and chose not to have the Drone return but instead continued to navigate it eastward. By midnight, the Drone''s Energy Points were not abundant, but it coincided with the Drone data refresh, and the Energy Points were restored to full, supporting the Drone''s continued advance.


    The Drone kept heading east, and it was not until sunlight began to appear on the sea surface that Yan Fei finally stopped. He realized he had spent more than 8 hours traveling under the sea, and at that moment, the Drone was located in the High Seas, 600 km east of Shanghai.


    The Drone was in a t seabed area, with sea sand covering the bottom. The deepest part was only 450 meters, ideal for the Drone to take a temporary rest there. Silently hidden at the bottom of the sea, 450 meters deep, there was no one who could detect its existence.


    So, Yan Fei found a rtively t area on the seabed and settled the Drone there. Without underwater currents orrge marine creatures, the Drone would be very safe. With 5,000 points of Energy remaining, if the Drone did not make any significant movements and simply stayed put at the bottom of the sea, it would only use a small amount of energy to resist the pressure of the seawater, thus it was fully capable ofsting until the 12:00 AM energy refresh.


    After dealing with the Drone''s parking, Yan Fei''s consciousness returned to his body. After a night of undersea adventure, he was utterly exhausted. As soon as his consciousness returned to his body, he fell asleep immediately and didn''t wake up until three in the afternoon.


    In the next two days, Yan Fei continued to control the Drone every night, exploring the secrets of the vast and boundless ocean. Eventually, the Drone had traveled 1,500 km to the east. Along the way, the Auxiliary Brain hadpleted the terrain mapping of the passed terrains; with this map, he would never get lost in this area again.


    During the exploration, the Drone''s Quantum Radar identified numerous sunken ships on the seabed, including warships sunk during battles and merchant ships from several hundred years ago. Although Yan Fei knew that there must be a huge amount of Wealth within these sunken ships, he was unable to salvage them. After all, the Drone had no hands or feet to lift the treasures, so he could only remember their locations regretfully, waiting for a future opportunity to salvage them.


    In his undersea exploration, not only did Yan Fei discover sunken ships but he also witnessed many oceanic wonders and even many marine creatures unheard of before, all of which broadened his horizons. His understanding of the Underwater World now surpassed that of many Ocean Experts.


    That night, Yan Fei was still controlling the Drone, navigating eastward under the sea. Suddenly, the noise from outside the house awakened his body. Yan Fei was startled and his consciousness immediately returned to his body, just in time to discover that someone had opened his window from the outside and was climbing into the room.


    Yan Fei didn''t move, pretending to be sound asleep while he slightly opened his eyes to watch the situation at the window.


    A Man in ck, wearing dark clothes from head to toe, his head covered in ck cloth, with only his eyes and hands visible, silently climbed in through the window. Upon entering, the intruder rolled on the ground and stealthily infiltrated the room with agile movements.


    Yan Fei remained still. After the Man in ck had entered and checked on Yan Fei lying on the bed, he tiptoed closer, holding a piece of white cloth. After hesitating a few times, he was about to cover Yan Fei''s face with the cloth when Yan Fei suddenly opened his eyes and threw a punch, hitting the Man in ck right in the stomach.


    With his immense strength, Yan Fei''s simple punch sent the Man in ck flying, crashing heavily into the wall behind before copsing to the ground, unable to move.


    Yan Fei sat up, turned on the light, strode over to the wall, grabbed the Man in ck, and yanked the cloth from his face, only to find that the intruder was a skinny young man with blond hair, grinning in pain. It seemed Yan Fei''s punch had not been gentle. If Yan Fei had put his full strength into the punch, it likely would have been lethal.


    Yan Fei lifted the young man, stared into his eyes, and demanded fiercely, "Who are you? Why are you in my room in the middle of the night?"


    The blond-haired Man in ck kept bending over and coughing, and it took him a while to recover before he said, "I''ll be honest, I''m a thief, I wanted to steal something from here."


    Yan Fei pointed to the white cloth on the ground and asked, "What is that?"


    Huang Mao, the man in ck, confessed honestly, "That was ether I had stolen from the hospital. I was nning to use it to knock you out."


    Yan Fei picked up the white cloth and, indeed, smelled the scent of ether on it. He threw the cloth far away and then opened the window, pulled up a chair to sit, and looked at Huang Mao kneeling on the ground. "What were you trying to steal from my ce?" he asked.


    Huang Mao, the man in ck, hesitated before speaking, "I noticed that most of the houses in this area have been demolished, and the residents have mostly left. I wanted to sneak in to steal some things to sell¡ªwho knew you hadn''t moved out yet."


    Yan Fei saw that Huang Mao, the man in ck, had a flicker in his eyes when he answered, which immediately raised Yan Fei''s suspicions. He thought the man looked familiar, but couldn''t ce where he had seen him before. Then he suddenly remembered the Drone Avatar and opened the database in the Auxiliary Brain to search its contents. With the help of the Intelligent Brain, he quickly found the figure of Huang Mao, the man in ck, in the database.


    Previously, the surveince video from the drone was stored on a storage card. After the Drone Upgrade, the data on the storage card was transferred to the database of the Auxiliary Brain. With a search by the Intelligent Brain, he found footage that showed Huang Mao, the man in ck, appearing twice: once with a thug outside the house surveilling him, and another time on the night he attacked the Marquis''s subordinates.


    That night, Yan Fei, controlling the drone, had carried out an attack using steel balls on the Marquis''s men. This man in ck, Huang Mao, was among those injured. He was rather lucky; a steel ball had gone right through the muscles of his calf, causing no major harm, which is why he was able to recover so quickly.


    Having discovered these two pieces of footage, Yan Fei immediately knew who Huang Mao, the man in ck, was¡ªhe was one of the Marquis''s men. Given the Marquis had turned into a Traitor, Yan Fei was certainly not going to let him go, so sooner orter, he was going to trouble the Marquis again. Only, the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng had gone into hiding and couldn''t be found at the moment. Yan Fei hadn''t even made his move yet when the Marquis''s man showed up in front of him again.


    Yet Yan Fei still had doubts and didn''t understand why Huang Mao, the man in ck, would appear before him like this. He began to intimidate him, hoping to get some useful intelligence out of him.


    Yan Fei let out a coldugh and said, "Trying to fool me? You think I don''t know who you are? Half a month ago, you and a man with spots on his face were watching me from downstairs. Do you think I wasn''t aware? You''re one of the Marquis''s men."


    Huang Mao, the man in ck, shook his head repeatedly, saying, "I don''t know you, and you don''t know me. I have no idea what you''re talking about."


    Yan Fei mmed his hand onto the table, which surprisingly shattered the table, and he sneered, "Since you''re unwilling to confess, I''m going to stop being nice to you."


    Huang Mao, the man in ck, seeing Yan Fei casually shattering the table and gesturing repeatedly toward his own head, was immediately terrified out of his wits and begged, "Don''t kill me, don''t kill me, please."


    Yan Fei originally wanted to scare Huang Mao, the man in ck, who unexpectedly thought Yan Fei was going to kill him. Yan Fei''s heart stirred, and he said, "You think I''m going to kill you?"


    Huang Mao, the man in ck, trembled as he spoke, "I know you have a drone behind you, the one that crippled the Marquis''s men. You''re definitely going to kill me."


    Yan Fei was startled and quickly asked, "How do you know about the drone?"


    Huang Mao, the man in ck, replied, "I was injured by your drone before, but fortunately, the wounds were not severe, so I wasn''t hospitalized. Today I went to ask the Marquis for ''nutritional fees'' and while waiting in the hallway, I overheard them saying you''re the one who killed Xiao Long, that you''re also the one who used a drone to cripple the Marquis''s men."


    Yan Fei was truly shocked and immediately asked, "What exactly did you overhear?"


    Huang Mao, the man in ck, hesitated, but upon seeing Yan Fei''s fierce eyes, he quickly confessed, "When I went to see the Marquis, I heard him discussing matters with Brother Cheng in the room so I waited outside. Little did I know, they were speaking about you, so I eavesdropped. The Marquis had previously sent his men to find the drone, but they had no luck. Unexpectedly, today a peripheral thug imed he saw the drone under a big bridge."


    Huang Mao, the man in ck, sneaked a nce at Yan Fei and, noting Yan Fei''s pensive look, quickly continued, "Once the Marquis got this information, he sent people to search around the big bridge, and they found at a nearby store''s entrance a monitor that was always on. They indeed saw the drone in the monitor''s footage, as well as discovered that the drone was being flown under the bridge. The vehicle from which youunched the drone, was driven by yourself. More than ten minutester, the drone flew back and entered through the window of your car. They analyzed this time frame and concluded it was when the loanshark Company was attacked by a drone. So, they confirmed that you were the mastermind behind the drone, that you were the one opposing us."

 Chapter 40 Chapter 33: Morse Code

    40 Chapter 33: Morse Code


    Yan Fei''s vest was soaked in a cold sweat, realizing that despite all his careful nning, he still slipped up on a minor detail, leading to his identity being exposed. However, there was no helping it, with Shanghai being not thatrge, yet packed with a poption of over twenty million, how could one possibly find a ce in the city areapletely devoid of people?


    For the sake of security, China had casted a tight of surveince, cameras everywhere. It was impossible for Yan Fei to avoid all the surveince cameras; inadvertently leaving video evidence was an unavoidable dilemma. He looked at Huang Mao, the man in ck, and asked further: "What else did you hear? Tell me everything, honestly."


    Having already betrayed, Huang Mao, the man in ck, had no more psychological barriers to his defection. He replied, "The Marquis said that they''ve contacted an expert, who''s about toe and capture you; you''re as good as dead. I was monitoring you earlier and knew that you just received a billion in cash, so I thought I''d capture you first, get the cash from you, then leave the Marquis and go live an easy life on my own. Little did I know you were so formidable, catching me just like that."


    Out of curiosity, Yan Fei asked, "Didn''t you see the online video of my fierce battle with the South Korean? Didn''t you know I was capable? And you still dared toe at me alone?" N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Huang Mao, the man in ck, replied with a wry smile, "I saw it, but I thought it was doctored, and as a martial artist, I never took Taekwondo seriously, so I didn''t find defeating it a big deal. I''ve trained in Kung Fu myself, and I''m fairly skilled. With ether on hand, I thought I could capture you by just being cautious. I didn''t expect to end up captured by you instead."


    Only then did Yan Fei understand the cause and effect of why Huang Mao, the man in ck, hade tounch a sneak attack. His expression had shifted from initial surprise to calm. He inquired, "Does anyone else know about this?"


    Huang Mao said, "The Marquis and his men don''t trust their own people, fearing a leak if someone spills the beans. You''d get the message and run away, so they haven''t told the rest yet. Even the little brother who tipped me off doesn''t know the reason. Though I knew, I wanted to monopolize that billion, so I came alone without telling anyone else."


    Yan Fei peered out the window and indeed spotted a car outside, but it was empty inside. Besides that, he saw no sign of anyone else around.


    Being decisive in his actions, upon realizing his identity was exposed, Yan Fei immediately had thoughts of nipping the danger in the bud. With a single thought, a drone resting 1500 kilometers away on the ocean floor promptly surfaced, then left the water''s embrace and hovered into the sky. As soon as the drone departed the sea surface, it began to transform, reverting to the form of the "Predator Drone" it had been before. Under the control of the Auxiliary Brain, the drone turned direction and sped toward Shanghai.


    The drone wasn''t a stealth aircraft. When flying in the air, it was easily detectable by other radars. ordingly, the drone maintained a distance of no more than five meters above the sea surface during its flight, a height low enough to avoid detection by the radars of other forces.


    A normal airne simply couldn''t undertake ultra-long distance flights at such a low altitude; it was too dangerous, and one slight mishap could send the aircraft plummeting into the ocean. But this predicament was not at all challenging for Yan Fei. With help from the Auxiliary Brain and the precision detection of the Quantum Radar, Yan Fei could easily control the drone at this altitude, flying swiftly without the slightest concern about diving headfirst into the sea.


    Yan Fei had previously wanted to eliminate Zhang Baocheng and the Marquis, but due to a twist of fate, they slipped away, and Yan Fei could not trace them. Now that they had uncovered Yan Fei''s true identity and were conspiring against him, Yan Fei was left with no way out. He had to fight with everything he had topletely eradicate these two malignant tumors, ensuring they would no longer disturb his life.


    Yan Fei asked, "Where are your Marquis and Zhang Baocheng now?"


    Huang Mao replied, "They''re both at thest stronghold outside Marquis''s City. With Brother Cheng''s vi having been burned and currently under renovation, and you having taken down Marquis''s Warehouse, the Marquis and Brother Cheng have been staying in thatst hideout recently, inseparable like shadows."


    Yan Fei inquired further, "Are you certain they are at the hideout you mentioned?"


    Huang Mao confirmed, "I''m sure they will be there all night, because they''re expecting a guest this evening, said to be some important person."


    Yan Fei stated, "Lead me to your Marquis and Zhang Baocheng, and don''t try anything cunning, or you''ll experience my methods firsthand."


    Yan Fei was a man of action. Having decided to take out Zhang Baocheng and the Marquis, he immediately set about carrying out his n. He escorted Huang Mao downstairs; demolition had already begun in this area, and nearly all of its former residents had left. Thus, at night, it was generally deserted, and no one saw Yan Fei and Huang Mao descend.


    Reaching the ground floor, Yan Fei had intended to drive his own minivan, but considering he was on a mission to kill, he decided against using his own vehicle to minimize the risk of exposure. Instead, he got into the car driven by Huang Mao.


    Huang Mao took the driver''s seat, and Yan Fei sat in the back, his face obscured behind Huang Mao. Huang Mao then drove towards the Marquis''s stronghold. The car headed east and soon arrived in the suburbs on the eastern edge of the city, where there was arge, standalone courtyard.


    Yan Fei instructed Huang Mao to park the car on a vacant lot near the courtyard. The lot was part of a real estate development yet to be officially started, so locals used it as a makeshift parking lot. Under the bright lights, a few vehicles were parked sporadically, and there was no sign of an attendant collecting fees.


    The lot offered an unobstructed view of the Marquis''s exclusive courtyard. The property covered a substantial area, its buildings topped at two stories, surrounded by tall walls affixed with broken ss shards and concertina wire that was likely electrified. Surveince cameras were installed in several corners of the wall, rotating now and then, suggesting someone inside was monitoring the exterior through them.


    At first nce, the security of the Marquis''s private courtyard appeared less formidable than that of Zhang Baocheng''s vi. However, Yan Fei dared not let his guard down¡ªhow could he be sure that it wasn''t more tightly secured on the inside? Seated in the back of the car, he put on a Sun Wukong mask from his Universal Space and hid in the darkness, silently waiting for the right moment to act.


    The sight of Yan Fei donning a mask sent a chill through Huang Mao. The Marquis and Zhang Baocheng were now aware of Yan Fei''s identity, so Yan Fei''s presence surely meant he was there to prevent any leak of information. To ensure no secrets were spilled, Yan Fei would certainly kill both the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng. And since Huang Mao knew Yan Fei''s secret, would Yan Fei kill him too? The more Huang Mao thought about it, the more afraid he became, and his terror slowly pushed him to the brink of copse. His body started to shake, making the car tremble as well, which from the outside looked as though someone inside was rocking the vehicle with sexual activity.


    Yan Fei did not know what was going through Huang Mao''s mind. His targets were the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng. Seeing Huang Mao shaking uncontrobly, he decided not to interfere as long as Huang Mao did not interfere with his operation. If Huang Mao dared to y any tricks, Yan Fei would not hesitate to eliminate him.


    The drone was 1500 kilometers away from Shanghai, with a maximum flight speed of 1000 kilometers/hour. Thus, the drone could return to Shanghai in no less than one and a half hours at top speed. It took Yan Fei and Huang Mao half an hour to arrive at the Marquis''s courtyard, meaning the drone would arrive in an hour. Once the drone returned, Yan Fei would take control of it tounch an attack on the courtyard andpletely eradicate the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng, eliminating all future threats.


    Hunkered down in the car, Yan Fei kept constant vignce over the distant, independent courtyard. Observing the tightly shut gates and the absence of peopleing and going, his unease grew, prompting him to question Huang Mao. Swearing on his life, Huang Mao assured him that both the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng were indeed inside. They were just being discreet, refraining from venturing out to avoid drawing the neighbors'' suspicion and risking a report.


    Seeing Huang Mao on the verge of copsing, Yan Fei believed his words and continued to surveil the Marquis''s independent courtyard from the vacant lot turned parking space. Soon, over twenty minutes passed, with more cars gradually entering the parking lot and parking near Huang Mao''s vehicle.


    Yan Fei turned his attention to the distant courtyard, but something felt off. The parking lot was vast, with few cars parked far apart¡ªso why had these newly arrived cars all parked next to his? What''s more, Yan Fei grew suspicious when he noticed no one exiting the vehicles after they parked.


    Suddenly on high alert, Yan Fei watched as another car entered the lot and began looking for a spot. Coincidentally, this car parked right in front of Huang Mao''s,pletely blocking its possible exit route. ncing around, Yan Fei realized his car had somehow been surrounded by four vehicles, with his means of escape blocked on all sides.


    Yan Fei knew something was terribly wrong and quickly ran through his mind what could have gone awry. He noticed Huang Mao was still shaking uncontrobly in the car, causing the vehicle to vibrate. Suddenly, it dawned on him¡ªthe shaking had a rhythm. Recognizing this pattern, everything clicked: it was Morse Code.


    Huang Mao was more than meets the eye; he had staged an act in Yan Fei''s presence, feigning fear and shaking to make the car quiver while using the vehicle''s vibrations to send out a Morse Code message. Undoubtedly, the surveince cameras in the distant courtyard had picked up this message, and the cars were called in response.


    Yan Fei caught on to the deception but refrained from rash actions. Knowledgeable about Morse Code himself, he studied Huang Mao''s trembling frequency and quickly deciphered the message Huang Mao had sent: "I am being held hostage, a formidable enemy seeks to kill the Marquis, send backup immediately." Once the message was delivered, Huang Mao repeated it in a loop.

 Chapter 41 Chapter 34: Showcasing Divine Might

    41 Chapter 34: Showcasing Divine Might


    Yan Fei swiftly cracked the Morse Code, and seeing that this string of Morse Code didn''t reveal too much information, he felt slightly relieved.


    Yan Fei began to discreetly observe the several cars that had surrounded him. His body, transformed by a mysterious power, had acquired some amazing effects. For instance, his eyes had be increasingly sharp; even in the dark of night, as long as there was a glimmer of light, he could see far into the distance.


    Looking through the car window, Yan Fei noticed that the four vehicles blocking his car were filled with people, and all of them were burly men.


    In the car to the right, Yan Fei spotted a familiar face¡ªit was the hulking Second Xie often seen with Zhang Baocheng. Unaware that Yan Fei could see him through the pitch-ck window, he was gesturing something to the others in the car.


    As Yan Fei was observing, he saw someone in the surrounding cars start to make a call using a mobile phone. Then, the car door of the vehicle blocking his path opened, and a big man from the back seat got out, pretending to casually walk towards Yan Fei''s car with his right hand behind his back.


    With his exceptional vision, Yan Fei immediately spotted in the reflection of the car window that the man had a pistol in his hand behind his back. As this man got out of the car, which served as a signal, the doors of the adjacent vehicles opened slightly, with therge men inside tensing up, gripping the doors tightly, ready to burst out at any moment. Without exception, they too had pistols in their hands.


    Seeing that the adversary was about to take action, and they were armed with weapons, Yan Fei''s heart started to race, and adrenaline surged through his veins.


    The gun-toting man nonchntly approached Yan Fei. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw Yan Fei suddenly strike out, chopping at the throat of Huang Mao, who sat in the front seat of the car, and with only one blow, shattered his windpipe.


    Huang Mao''s body shuddered, his hands desperately clutching at his throat as he writhed, blood frothing from his mouth along with gurgling noises, clearly on the brink of death.


    Having taken down Huang Mao with one strike, the approaching big man was startled. Before he could react, he saw Yan Fei punch out, shattering the window next to the back seat. His left hand reached out quickly, grasping the big man''s cor, pulling him tightly against him, then forcefully mming him into the car body.


    A "bang" sounded as the man''s head struck the top of the car, instantly causing blood to gush out, knocking him unconscious, and the pistol he was holding in his backhand fell to the ground.


    Therge men in the car to the left noticed themotion and immediately opened their door and jumped out. Yan Fei pushed away the unconscious big man, jumped through the window, and with a roar of anger, he somehow tore the car door right off, then threw it with force. The flying door spun towards the men who had just jumped out of their car, who didn''t have time to react before being struck by the high-speed rotating car door, falling in a heap on the ground, dead or alive unknown. One of the big men was even cut in half by the door, his intestines and viscera spilling onto the ground in a gruesome sight.


    Having dealt with the enemies in the car to the left, Yan Fei didn''t pause. He took a swift step and charged at the car blocking his exit route. The people inside reacted slightly slower and didn''t have time to get out. They watched as Yan Fei charged over, his fist shattering the driver''s side window. His left hand reached inside, yanked a man out, and smashed him repeatedly on the hood, then casually tossed the man five or six meters away. The man rolled a few times uponnding and struck a nearby rock, immediately bleeding profusely from his head and losing consciousness.


    The others inside the car were shocked and quickly raised their pistols to shoot at Yan Fei. Yan Fei bent over to dodge the bullets. He pressed down on the hood, pushing hard to make the car rapidly retreat. Inside, the men kept shooting, bullets whizzing past Yan Fei''s back, narrowly missing him.


    Yan Fei kept his body even lower, continuing to push the car backward. With the Pilot ejected, there was no one inside to control the car. Under Yan Fei''s force, the car retreated quickly. Behind the open space of the parking areay a cliff over ten meters high, and withstanding a barrage of bullets, he ferociously pushed the car over the edge. The car dropped off the cliff with a loud crash and continued to tumble down, finally rolling into the pond at the bottom.


    The several big men inside were severely injured as they rolled down with the car. Not one managed to escape and were all submerged in the water. They were certain to die if no one came to their rescue.


    Yan Fei eliminated the enemies in two cars with lightning speed, his ferocity resembling that of a demon crawling out from underground, leaving the enemies in the other two cars terrified.


    The car on the right, under Second Xie''s loud yelling, suddenly elerated in reverse, then turned around and sped towards Yan Fei at high speed.


    Yan Fei stood his ground without dodging. He steadied himself in a horse stance, his muscles bulging, as he focused intently on the approaching car. Suddenly, he roared and leaped high, and as he came down, he punched the hood of the oing car with tremendous force.


    The front of the car quickly crumpled, and due to its rapid speed and the massive inertia, the rear of the car lifted high, flipping over Yan Fei''s head, crashing to the ground. Afternding, it rolled several times, sparks flying as it slid on the ground and finally smashed against a solid rock.


    Due to the severe collision, the car''s fuel tank started to rupture and leak. The spilled gasoline was ignited by the sparks from the vehicle''s slide, instantly bursting into arge fire. The fire then spread to the fuel tank, causing a massive explosion that engulfed the entire car in mes. Not a single person from inside the car managed to escape.


    The car that was blocked ahead saw Yan Fei''s heroic performance and was frightened out of their wits. The people inside began firing their guns wildly out of the car, but the angle was off,pletely missing Yan Fei. The driver, even more decisively, turned the car around and sped away from the scene.


    Yan Fei did not pursue them, letting them escape. After all, his target tonight wasn''t these small fries. Even if a few got away, it wasn''t a big deal. He was still wearing the Sun Wukong mask, so they didn''t know who he was. Even if they escaped, they posed no threat to him.


    For the first time in a long while, Yan Fei fully utilized his strength and disyed terrifyingbat power. In an instant, he took out everyone in the three cars. He then realized that his current strength had reached a very high level, even beyond his own imagination. Although he hadn''t reached the Acquired Peak, his strength was at least five times that of a normal Acquired Expert. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Yan Fei mercilessly took out these enemies not because he was cruel but because he needed to survive, and to do so, he had to eliminate his enemies. Mercy toward an enemy is cruelty toward oneself. He was not without kindness, but he reserved it not for his enemies. He didn''t want to die, so his enemies had to.


    Yan Fei''s n originally was to wait until the Drone returned to Shanghai before taking action. With the Drone''s overpowering strength, he might even be able to eliminate the enemy without lifting a finger. But ns never keep up with changes; Morse Code signals sent by Huang Mao forced him to reveal himself earlier, so the timing of his action was also much earlier. Although it was regrettable not to have the Drone, Yan Fei''s attack methods were not limited to just the Drone.


    Since he had already gone on a killing spree, Yan Fei no longer held back. He looked at the distant Courtyard and then sprinted rapidly, quickly arriving under the Courtyard''s high wall. Then with one leap, he climbed onto the wall, threw a piece of clothing over the electric fence, and jumped into the Courtyard.


    The people inside the Courtyard had a clear view of the great battle that had taken ce in the open space outside. ording to their arrangements, the people they sent out were supposed to have the upper hand. Yet, they didn''t expect Yan Fei to be so ferocious that he quickly turned the tables with a counterattack, catching them off guard and leaving them without time to provide support from inside.


    Seeing Yan Fei burst in, the people inside were shocked, and they immediately sounded the rm. Soon, dozens of thugs ran out from the rooms inside the Courtyard, wielding various weapons.


    Standing in the Courtyard, Yan Fei observed that the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng were standing on the second-floor balcony with faces full of shock, looking as if they couldn''t believe their eyes. As soon as they saw that Yan Fei, wearing the mask, had noticed them, they shrank back in fear and entered one of the rooms on the second floor, hastily closing the door behind them.


    Yan Fei snorted coldly, kicking down two ck-d men who approached him with cleavers, then knocked down a burly man with a single punch. He casually picked up the baseball bat the burly man had dropped and made his way through, striking down anyone in his path. With his extraordinary strength now and his swings too fast to see, anyone who faced him didn''t stand a chance. Anyoneing near Yan Fei went down instantly.


    As Yan Fei advanced, those burly men fell to the ground one after another, clutching their limbs and wailing in agony.


    The ferocity of Yan Fei scared the thugs froming any closer. They just shouted loudly and encircled him from a distance. Yan Fei threw the baseball bat from his hand far away, startling the surrounding thugs. Yan Fei then leaped up, hooking his hand onto a railing on the second floor and flipping himself over tond on the balcony. He pinpointed the room, kicked at the door, and toppled the tightly closed door.


    Yan Fei walked into the room and saw that inside were indeed the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng, along with a sturdy young man.


    Upon seeing Yan Fei, Zhang Baocheng immediately trembled with fear. He said, "You are Yan Fei, you must be Yan Fei, I know it''s you. You''ve killed so many of us; you''re dead for sure."


    Yan Fei didn''t remove the Sun Wukong mask from his face and simply chuckled coldly, ignoring Zhang Baocheng''s words. He intended to kill this person who for some absurd reason caused him trouble and acted as a Traitor.


    If it hadn''t been for Zhang Baocheng''s greed trying to take advantage of Yan Fei''s property, Yan Fei wouldn''t have fallen into such a perilous situation. Even if the upgrade of his Drone Avatar was a bit slower, it would have been safe for him. Unlike now, where he had faced several life-and-death crises. Therefore, the situation Yan Fei faced now was entirely caused by Zhang Baocheng, making him his greatest enemy.

 Chapter 42 Chapter 35 Mutual Defeat

    42 Chapter 35 Mutual Defeat


    As Yan Fei walked towards Zhang Baocheng, a sturdy young man stood out, blocked Yan Fei''s path, and said with a fist-sped salute, "This brother here, I am Sun Li from the Cangzhou Sun Family, the eldest son of Sun Tie. May I ask if you could do me the honor of sparing Mr. Zhang''s life?"


    Watching the pride on Sun Li''s face as he introduced himself, Yan Fei felt a stir in his heart. This Cangzhou Sun Family must be the legendary martial arts household. He could tell that Sun Li was formidable, and although he didn''t know exactly what made Sun Li so, he was sure that he was not one to be trifled with. If Sun Li was this formidable, then the Cangzhou Sun Family standing behind him was definitely even more so.


    If it were any other time, Yan Fei would naturally give Sun Li face, as he had no desire to unwittingly provoke such a martial arts family. Once you kill the minor member, the senior onese after you immediately, and the trouble would be endless. But now Yan Fei needed to keep his secret safe; he had to kill Zhang Baocheng and the Marquis tonight, so naturally, he wouldn''t give face to Sun Li.


    Yan Fei shook his head and said, "I must kill them today, and if you intend to stop me, then we are enemies, and it is a fight to the death. No matter if it''s the Sun Family or any other family, no one can save the lives of these two men."


    Sun Li''splexion changed, not expecting his name to be of no use and feeling his dignity affronted. He took a step back, extended his right hand, assumed a starting pose, and said, "In that case, I will have to offend."


    Yan Fei appearedposed on the surface but was inwardly anxious. With Sun Li blocking his way to Zhang Baocheng and the Marquis, and so many thugs below the building, those thugs had been caught off guard by his previous attack, allowing him to barge in. If they came to their senses and pulled out firearms like pistols, his situation would be troublesome. The henchmen who had attempted to ambush him all had pistols; Yan Fei did not believe that the Marquis'' stronghold would be without such powerful weapons.


    If Yan Fei couldn''t quickly take care of the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng today, then his identity as the drone master would undoubtedly be exposed. The Drone had killed too many people under his control, already disrupting social order, and was sure to attract national attention. At that point, he would not only face the nation''s pursuit, but also the relentless assassination from the organization behind Zhang Baocheng, leading to his life on the run.


    Sun Li, who was blocking Yan Fei, seemed to be quite capable, and even in a life-and-death struggle, Yan Fei wasn''t sure he could defeat him. Moreover, Sun Li didn''t need to engage Yan Fei in a life-and-death fight; he just needed to dy him until the Marquis'' men arrived with their powerful weapons, and Yan Fei would be finished, as after all, he was no deity and couldn''t block bullets. His Drone Avatar was still en route to Shanghai, at least thirty minutes away, and right now, the only thing he could rely on was himself, but what should he do?


    Yan Fei rapidly considered various strategies in his mind. ording to Huang Mao''s confession, the only people who knew Yan Fei was the man behind the drone were the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng. To keep it secret, there was a high chance that they hadn''t disclosed this information, meaning that if he killed the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng now, he could continue to conceal his identity.


    Since Sun Li didn''t engage him head-on, correspondingly, Yan Fei didn''t have to sh to the death with Sun Li, so all he had to do was bypass Sun Li and kill the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng.


    Sun Li, facing the masked man, felt a sense of trepidation in his heart. He had always been confident in his strength, but the man before him was clearly no simple adversary; the aura alone emanating from him indicated that he was not to be underestimated, his strength possibly even greater than Sun Li''s own. Yet with an obligation entrusted to him, he had toplete the task at hand and couldn''t just retreat.


    Yan Fei locked eyes with Sun Li then suddenly charged at him, aiming a punch at Sun Li''s face. Sun Li dodged to the side and kicked at Yan Fei''s chest. Yan Fei then surged forward abruptly, striking his own chest against Sun Li''s leg. Yan Fei took a heavy blow to the chest, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, spraying through the mask''s openings directly onto Sun Li''s face, causing his vision to blur.


    Startled, Sun Li prepared to back away, only to catch sight of Yan Fei''s fist swinging at an angle, brutally hitting his temple. Sun Li, struck hard, staggered back, stars bursting in his vision, and copsed to the ground, unable to get up again.


    The exchange between the two was an instant affair, resulting in mutual injury. Yan Fei had been kicked in the chest, and Sun Li had suffered even more, struck in the critical point of the temple.


    Yan Fei, self-taught, had received guidance from Wang Yong, but his kung fu was honed through practice and realbat; his footwork surely couldn''tpare with Sun Li''s. Moreover, he had a disadvantage; time was precious to him, and he couldn''t afford any waste, so he had to fight swiftly and decisively.


    To achieve a swift resolution, Yan Fei had no choice but to employ a tactic that would injure both himself and his opponent. Through precise calction, he traded his injury for Sun Li''s loss ofbat power. Sun Li, in his life, had never encountered such a method ofbat, and caught unawares, was promptly knocked down by Yan Fei.


    Although Yan Fei had been struck hard in the chest, his body was robust; his injury was healing rapidly, and thus it wasn''t as severe as it appeared, and he still had the ability to move. He nced briefly at Sun Li lying on the ground and hesitated for a moment but chose not to continue attacking him.


    Yan Fei endured the pain in his chest, bypassed Sun Li, and charged towards the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng, who were stunned by the turn of events. They had thought that with Sun Li present, they would have been able to fend off Yan Fei for a while, allowing them to escape and rally their men outside with pistols for aeback. But to their astonishment, Sun Li had fallen at the first encounter, and the masked man before them still had the capacity to move.


    Seeing Yan Fei rushing over, the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng were terrified, their nerves shattered. They shouted and ran in opposite directions. Having lived in luxury for so many years, they had be ustomed to an easy life and had long lost the courage and agility of their younger days; they dared not engage Yan Fei inbat.


    Just with a stride, Yan Fei caught up to the Marquis. With a backhanded palm, he viciously struck the Marquis''s back, eliciting a scream of agony from thetter as arge mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, mingled with shattered internal organs. The Marquis was sent flying, brutally mming into the wall. Before the Marquis''s body could slide down, Yan Fei stepped forward again, fiercely kicking the Marquis''s neck. His bones emitted a crisp snap, and, incredibly, his entire head twisted to one side¡ªa sign that his spine had been kicked clean through.


    The Marquis''s head was now twisted to the side, his eyes filled with disbelief. He had not expected to be killed in such a manner. Unwilling to ept his fate, he thought of the beautiful life he had yet to enjoy. How could he just die like this?


    Yan Fei withdrew his foot, and the Marquis slowly copsed to the ground, his eyes void of life, thoroughly dead.


    Zhang Baocheng had managed only a few steps before witnessing the Marquis instantly killed. Seeing Yan Feiing after him, terror seized his soul, and he found himself unable to take another step.


    Yan Fei was about to catch up and finish off Zhang Baocheng when Sun Li, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sprang up and clutched Yan Fei''s neck, pulling him down to the ground with a strong yank. It turned out that although Sun Li had been struck in a vital area by Yan Fei, his family''s profound knowledge included a technique to quickly replenish his energy, allowing him to regain a small portion of his mobility rather swiftly. He then seized the opportune moment when Yan Fei''s back was exposed while pursuing Zhang Baocheng andunched a surprise attack, seeding in gripping Yan Fei''s neck.


    Caught off guard, Yan Fei was pressed to the floor by Sun Li. As he struggled fiercely, Sun Li exerted all his effort to subdue him, and the two rolled around tumultuously, knocking over the contents of the room and leaving chaos in their wake.


    Zhang Baocheng, having narrowly escaped death, internally rejoiced at his luck. Watching Yan Fei pinned down by Sun Li, he felt an after-shock of fear but didn''t dare approach to attack, quickly fleeing the room to save his own life.


    As Yan Fei saw Zhang Baocheng escaping, anxiety flooded him, and the struggle with Sun Li aggravated his previous internal injury, causing him to cough up another mouthful of fresh blood. Sun Li dared not let go, fearing Yan Fei would escape if he did.


    However, Yan Fei''s body had been transformed by a mysterious power and was now eight times stronger than before. Having reached this level of strength, some secret abilities began to awaken. As Yan Fei spat out the blood, the slowly depleting strength inside his body began to rapidly replenish. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Initially overwhelmed, Yan Fei, with Sun Li pressing down on him from behind, suddenly mustered his strength and astonishingly rose to his feet. Sun Li, hanging on his back, tightened his grip in shock, locking both hands around Yan Fei''s neck and mping his legs around Yan Fei''s, rendering him immobile.


    Yan Fei roared, then suddenly mmed backward, crashing into the wall with great force. Sun Li took the brunt of the impact, his bones nearly scattered by the collision, and his grip weakened substantially.


    Seeing Sun Li''s grip on his neck weaken, Yan Fei rejoiced, nning to crash into the wall again, but then he felt Sun Li''s strength augment, restraining his movements. Roaring once more, Yan Fei turned around, using Sun Li as a weapon to smash through the wall of the room and emerge into the hallway. Then he leaped high and plunged toward the ground floor. Mid-fall, Yan Fei twisted, positioning Sun Li underneath him.


    With a thunderous crash, Yan Fei mmed heavily onto the ground. The terrifying impact fractured Sun Li''s bones, his strength rapidly ebbing as he was forced to release his hold on Yan Fei''s neck. Even though Sun Li had cushioned his fall, Yan Fei too was in considerable pain from the powerful impact. However, his physical conditioning was clearly much better than Sun Li''s. In just a breath''s time, he had recovered.


    Yan Fei got up, only to see that he was surrounded by armed thugs. These thugs, already cowed by Yan Fei''s earlier feats, were too terrified to approach even though they saw he was injured. Plus, with the leaders outside dead, the Marquis gone, and Zhang Baocheng fled, theycked anymand and were no more than a motley crew.


    Now witnessing Yan Fei stand, someone suddenly shouted, throwing down their weapon and turning to flee. This behavior spurred the rest, who also discarded their weapons and ran off in all directions. Several with pistols, ready to charge out from an adjacent room, exchanged nces and, seeing the others fleeing, likewise dropped their firearms and escaped.


    Yan Fei''s initial intent was not to deal with these minions. Watching them flee, he chose not to pursue. Just as he was about to continue the chase for Zhang Baocheng, he noticed Sun Li once again gripping his pant leg, trying to rise.

 Chapter 43 Chapter 36 Strange Attack

    43 Chapter 36 Strange Attack


    Yan Fei was furious in his heart. This Sun Li was quite stubborn, still trying to stop him even at this moment. Since that was the case, he wouldn''t show any mercy. With a flick of his toes, he hit Sun Li right in the throat. Sun Li''s throat burst instantly, and after struggling on the ground for a bit, he finally died. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Yan Fei was about to go out to chase after Zhang Baocheng. After thinking for a moment, he took several barrels of gasoline out of his space, doused the entire courtyard with gasoline, then lit a fire,pletely destroying all traces of the carnage he had caused. Also destroyed were the evidences that Zhang Baocheng and the Marquis had collected, which could have incriminated Yan Fei.


    When Yan Fei walked out of the courtyard, it was already a sea of mes. On the distant highway, a car was racing for its life. He immediately recognized that it was Zhang Baocheng''s car, and Zhang Baocheng must be in it. He then took out his second-hand motorcycle from his space and quickly chased after it.


    Even though Yan Fei was injured, his body was recovering rapidly, allowing his movements to be barely affected. Plus, with his experience in precisely controlling drones, he drove the motorcycle even faster than the car ahead.


    However, since the car had already been on the road for a while, Yan Fei couldn''t catch up immediately. Fortunately, Zhang Baocheng did not head back towards the city area, otherwise Yan Fei would not dare to follow him. Judging by the direction Zhang Baocheng was going, he was heading for the port of Shanghai.


    Zhang Baocheng was desperately speeding ahead, Yan Fei was chasing after him with all his might. Finally, upon reaching Shanghai Port, Yan Fei caught up with Zhang Baocheng''s car.


    Yan Fei drove his motorcycle up close and indeed saw Zhang Baocheng in the driver''s seat. When Zhang Baocheng saw Yan Fei catching up, he was instantly scared out of his wits. Yan Fei kept pace with the car, then reached out, grabbed the handle of the car door next to the driver''s seat, and with a pull, he actually tore the door off.


    As soon as the door was torn off, the car''s automatic protection system was activated, causing an emergency brake, and Zhang Baocheng''s car was forced to a stop. Yan Fei''s motorcycle slid to a stop in front of the car, and he looked at Zhang Baocheng coldly from atop his motorcycle.


    Zhang Baocheng, recognizing the physique of the man in the mask, became more certain that this person was Yan Fei. At this moment, he began to regret his actions and wished he could start over. He would definitely not have targeted Yan Fei. Even for the greatest benefit, he would not provoke Yan Fei, for Yan Fei was truly terrifying. But there was no medicine for regret in this world, and Zhang Baocheng had lost his chance to start over.


    Seeing that the car couldn''t start, Zhang Baocheng hurriedly jumped out and tried to run away. Yan Fei let out a coldugh and chased after him, about to catch Zhang Baocheng. Suddenly, an abnormal current of air rippled nearby, and Yan Fei was startled, abandoning the chase and rolling away from his original position. Then he saw a cane knife suddenly chop down where he had just been¡ªif he hadn''t dodged, he would surely have been injured by that knife.


    Yan Fei stood firm and saw the cane knife eerily disappear, just as it had appeared out of nowhere. A wave of shock rose in his heart¡ªwhat was this method of attack? Had he just seen a ghost? He heard that this ce used to be a mass grave¡­


    While Yan Fei was caught up in his thoughts, a slight disturbance in the air urred behind him again. He quickly stepped aside and once more saw a cane knife appear from thin air, shing down where he had just been. This time, Yan Fei observed carefully and finally noticed a hand at the end of the knife, wrapped in ck cloth.


    At this point, Yan Fei realized that this was not about seeing ghosts, but rather it was a bizarre form of attack. In his memory, this should be an attack method from the Japanese Ninja to the east. He had encountered a legendary Japanese Ninja. He just didn''t understand why the ninja was attacking him¡ªcould it be that he was also a helper hired by Zhang Baocheng?


    Zhang Baocheng, seeing Yan Fei being attacked, instantly bolted. By the time Yan Fei turned to check, Zhang Baocheng had already reached the port and boarded a small yacht. As soon as Zhang Baocheng was on board, the yacht began to elerate away from the port, disappearing into the darkness.


    Yan Fei, restrained by the Japanese Ninja, could not pursue Zhang Baocheng''s small yacht. Although he should have been very anxious, oddly, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He could sense that his Drone Avatar was about to return to Shanghai, and it was only a five-minute distance from this port. Under the sweep of the Quantum Radar with a range of 500 kilometers, Zhang Baocheng''s yacht was distinctly visible. Once Zhang Baocheng reached the sea, he would probably die even faster than onnd.


    Yan Fei''s twin discoveries of the ninja hidden in the darkness made the assant hesitant to emerge rashly, and the two entered a standoff. It was then that a voice suddenly came through, "Useless thing, wait until you get back to be punished!"


    Yan Fei was startled and realized the words were spoken in Japanese. Because the Auxiliary Brain had directly infused him with knowledge from the Technology Tree, he quickly became proficient in English, Japanese, and Italian, so he understood right away what the person was saying.


    Yan Fei looked up only to see a man in ck seated on top of a shipping container, unknown when he had sat there. The man in ck was wearing a ck cloak and holding a samurai cane knife, looking down at Yan Fei with disdain.


    ```


    Hearing the rebuke, a petite figure eerily appeared out of thin air not far in front of Yan Fei. This figure was dressed in ck, with a hood covering the head, revealing only a pair of eyes, and carrying a cane knife sheath on the back¡ªthe typical attire of a Japanese ninja.


    The ninja on the ground was obviously the object of the man in the cloak''s scolding on top of the shipping container. Bowing to the cloaked figure, the ninja admitted his fault and charged toward Yan Fei once more. In the process, he somehow vanished into thin air.


    A cold smile appeared on Yan Fei''s lips. Previously, he had been ambushed by the ninja twice when he wasn''t paying attention. But now that he knew the opponent was a ninja, he let down his guard because he had a way to counter the ninja''s stealth technique.


    That method was the drone''s quantum radar. Quantum radar could even detect stealth fighters, let alone the ninja''s hiding techniques. With a range of 500 kilometers and the capacity to simultaneously track 1000 targets, the drone, being less than one hundred kilometers from Yan Fei, could easily monitor both Zhang Baocheng''s yacht and the ninja. Although this would cause the drone to use up more energy points, at this critical moment, the energy points had to be spent.


    The ninja merely utilized the environment and the visual blind spots of the human eye to be "invisible." While this might be somewhat effective against the average person, for the quantum radar, it was as conspicuous as a kilowatt lightbulb flickering in front. After all, he wasn''t truly invisible.


    With the aid of the quantum radar, Yan Fei could clearly see the ninja''s figure, but he pretended he hadn''t noticed and acted as if he was searching the surroundings. The man in the ck cloak on the shipping container simply watched with detached interest, not intervening in the battle below.


    The Japanese ninja carefully lurked behind Yan Fei, then swung his sword. Yan Fei suddenly reached back with one hand and incredibly plucked a person from the void¡ªit was the ninja. Now being choked by Yan Fei, the ninja struggled desperately. With a shake of his hand, Yan Fei caused the ninja''s sword to drop to the ground. A squeeze crushed the ninja''s throat, and with a hurl, Yan Fei threw the ninja more than ten meters away. The ninja rolled on the ground a few times, twitched, and theny dead.


    Yan Fei easily thwarted the Japanese ninja''s ambush and killed him using quantum radar, to the great surprise of the cloaked man on the shipping container. The man stood up and, pping his hands, spoke in Japanese, "Not bad, not bad. China is truly and of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. To think that you could so easily break our ninja''s ninjutsu."


    Yan Fei began to stall for time, speaking in Mandarin, "Who are you? Why did you ambush me?"


    The man in the ck cloak was fluent in Mandarin and also spoke, "You may call me J¨±bei Yamamoto. I am from the Yamamoto Family of Japan, here on a trial mission with the younger members of our family, and it seems we have failed. As to why we attacked you, we were acting on orders from our family to assist that Chinese man named Zhang in escaping. Since you wanted to kill him, we had no choice but to eliminate you."


    Yan Fei, who was just trying to buy time, didn''t expect J¨±bei Yamamoto to reveal so much inside information. Could it be he thought Yan Fei was already a dead man, and thus he could safely reveal secrets without them getting out? Heughed, "Sorry, but I killed a member of your family. Do you want to avenge him?"


    J¨±bei Yamamoto said, "Hisck of skill led to his death; he has only himself to me. However, by killing a member of the Yamamoto Family, you have insulted our family''s honor. So now I must kill you. Remember, this is not about revenge, but about preserving our family dignity and showing the world that the Yamamoto Family''s reputation is not unearned."


    Yan Feiughed heartily, "You Japanese are really hypocritical. If you want revenge, just say so. You don''t have to make it sound so noble."


    J¨±bei Yamamoto said no more. He slowly drew the long knife from his bosom, saying, "This knife is called ''Hidden Chrysanthemum.'' It will be an honorable death to fall by its de."


    Yan Fei scoffed, "A mere unknown and broken de; you speak as if it were famous. Here I am,e and try if you can kill me!"


    With a strange cry, J¨±bei Yamamoto suddenly jumped down from the shipping container andnded firmly on the ground, darting toward Yan Fei at an astonishing speed with his cane knife chopping down fiercely. Yan Fei was startled; he couldn''t keep up with J¨±bei Yamamoto''s pace and, having no weapon to block with, only had time to roll awkwardly on the ground to narrowly evade the sh.


    J¨±bei Yamamoto''s strike was dodged by Yan Fei but managed to carve a gash into the hard concrete, disying frightening strength.


    Just as J¨±bei Yamamoto was about to continue his assault, a massive monster suddenly emerged from the dark sea surface far away. This monster had been skimming the sea before swiftly ascending near the shore, rising to a height of two hundred meters. The beast then dove down towards J¨±bei Yamamoto, its head lighting up, and a burst of me shot forth.


    ```

 Chapter 44 Chapter 37: Terrifying Combat Power

    44 Chapter 37: Terrifying Combat Power


    J¨±bei Yamamoto was about to pursue Yan Fei when he noticed this monster. Experienced and knowledgeable, he immediately recognized it as the US Army''s Predator Drone, which had been deployed in great numbers at US bases on Japanese homnd shores, making them amon sight in Japanese skies.


    However, the Predator Drone in front of him seemed unusual: It bore no markings of the US Army, and it was somewhatrger than the usual Predator Drones deployed by the US forces.


    Just as J¨±bei Yamamoto puzzled over why a US Army Predator Drone would appear in China, the drone suddenly dove towards him. He was startled, realizing it was a precursor to an attack, and hastily maneuvered to evade; sure enough, where he had just stood, a violent explosion erupted. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    At the critical moment, Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar finally made it back to Shanghai. Earlier, Yan Fei''s chit-chat with J¨±bei Yamamoto was not only to extract intelligence but also to buy time, waiting for his Drone Avatar to arrive. Now that the Drone Avatar had arrived, Yan Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the terrifyingbat power of the drone, he was set to unleash havoc tonight, eliminating all threats.


    J¨±bei Yamamoto was terrified. It never crossed his mind that the Predator Drone would attack him. Despite being a powerful ninja from Japan, he felt as helpless as amb when facing the technological marvel of an unmannedbat drone with formidable firepower.


    With extensivebat experience, J¨±bei Yamamoto evaded the first wave of drone attacks and immediately jumped into the nearby Container Terminal. He wove through the tight spaces between shipping containers and employed his Ninjutsu skills to conceal himself, in an attempt to escape the drone''s pursuit.


    Unexpectedly for J¨±bei Yamamoto, the drone was equipped with quantum radar that far surpassed Earth''s technological level. If quantum radar could detect stealth fighter jets, how could it be fooled by ninjutsu techniques meant to deceive human vision?


    Hence the drone flew over the container area and began targeting the concealed J¨±bei Yamamoto. He quickly realized his cover was blown and decisively abandoned stealth, deftly maneuvering above and below the shipping containers to avoid the Naval Cannon fire from the drone.


    The drone''s quantum radar had locked onto J¨±bei Yamamoto and attacked him with its 30-millimeter Vulcan Gun. Yet, as a renowned expert from Japan, his agility,bined with the maze of containers, allowed him to narrowly avoid the drone''s attacks each time at the critical moment.


    Yan Fei operated the drone through his Intelligent Brain, continuously firing the 30-millimeter Naval Cannon at J¨±bei Yamamoto below. Explosions rang out on the dock as shipping containers, mistakenly hit, exploded and caught fire. Fortunately, these were empty containers without cargo; otherwise, the losses this night would be considerable¡ªthis was not Yan Fei''s intention.


    Thanks to his skills and the cramped container area, J¨±bei Yamamoto repeatedly dodged the drone''s Naval Cannon fire. This was Shanghai''s dock, still brightly lit even in the dead of night, and the explosions soon caught the attention of people in the distance. The Dock Manager and staff were already en route to the scene in their vehicles.


    Yan Fei opted for Naval Cannon fire and not missiles out of fear that the Chinese authorities would be aware of the drone''s formidablebat power during cleanup. After all, the impact of Naval Cannons and Missiles differed greatly. A domestic missile attack would undoubtedly prompt an immediate investigation, potentially revealing the secret connection between Yan Fei and the drone, and possibly resulting in Yan Fei being targeted as a terrorist organization by the government.


    However, due to obstructions, the drone''s Naval Cannon couldn''t eliminate J¨±bei Yamamoto quickly and with an urgency pressing down, Yan Fei no longer held back his strength. He abandoned the Naval Cannon and fired an Air-to-Air Combat Missile at J¨±bei Yamamoto.


    J¨±bei Yamamoto sessfully evaded the drone''s strikes, but inwardly he grimaced. He had never expected a US Army drone to appear at Shanghai''s terminal; after all, it was China¡ªwhy would a US drone be there and attacking him? Could it be that his enemies knew of his visit to China and wanted to eliminate him using the US military''s assets?


    While J¨±bei Yamamoto exerted all his effort to dodge the Naval Cannon fire, he suddenly noticed a trail of fire shoot up behind him, before the fiery streak made a wide arc in the sky and flew toward him.


    J¨±bei Yamamoto''s face drained of color as he recognized it as an Air-to-Air Missile from the drone, aimed directly at him. He could avoid the Naval Cannon''s direct fire thanks to the shipping containers, but the Air-to-Air Missile could turn and was exceedingly fast. Once locked on by the missile, his death was certain.


    J¨±bei Yamamoto ran desperately seeking cover to evade the missile''s onught. Guided by the quantum radar, the Air-to-Air Missile relentlessly pursued him and quickly closed in. Soon enough, it caught up with J¨±bei Yamamoto and exploded dramatically before his eyes of despair.


    J¨±bei Yamamoto, as a famed expert from Japan, had exceptional abilities and managed to avoid fatal injury at the moment of the Air-to-Air Missile''s explosion. Yet the sheer power of the missile was overwhelming, and the fierce st still consumed J¨±bei Yamamoto.

    45 Chapter 37 Terrifying Combat Power_2


    J¨±bei Yamamoto screamed and was blown away by the explosion, crashing into a shipping container before falling to the ground and rolling several times, motionless. Beside him, his Hidden Chrysanthemum Sword was twisted into two smoking pieces.


    Yan Fei cautiously approached and saw that J¨±bei Yamamoto''s guts were spilled out, his spine snapped in two, undeniably dead.


    Despite possessing strength far surpassing Yan Fei''s, J¨±bei Yamamoto was mercilessly crushed by a drone. Compared to the drone''s 30-millimeter naval cannon and air-to-air missiles'' terrifying power, J¨±bei Yamamoto''s personal strength seemed insignificant. Just one missile was needed to kill the Japanese expert at a dock in China.


    Seeing that J¨±bei Yamamoto was finally eliminated, Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure J¨±bei Yamamoto put on him was tremendous, even more so than Xiao Long''s, and had the Drone Avatar not suddenly arrived, he would have been doomed tonight. Therefore, even revealing the trump card of the drone''s missile attack was worth it.


    The air-to-air missile not only killed J¨±bei Yamamoto but also ignited a fierce fire, drawing even more attention. Just as Yan Fei was about to retreat from the scene, he suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon.


    A blurred figure appeared atop a distant shipping container. Before Yan Fei could get a clear look at the figure''s face, it vanished. Then, the blurry figure reappeared on top of another container, quickly disappeared again, and then reemerged on yet another container. In the blink of an eye, this figure had traveled a great distance, moving with astonishing speed.


    Yan Fei was shocked, realizing that the fierce battle at the dock had attracted an expert, and he dared not linger. He quickly stored the motorcycle lying on the ground into Universal Space, and then pulled out a rope from it, throwing it up to hook onto the weapon pylon of the drone that had already fired its missiles. Then the drone took off, carrying Yan Fei away from the area.


    Just as Yan Fei had left, the blurry figure appeared where Yan Fei had been standing. The figure became clearer, and it was the clean-cut young man who had been in Wei Chao''s office at the Municipal Public Security Bureau''s Criminal Investigation Team.


    The young man, watching the drone flying away with Yan Fei hanging beneath it, wore a look of surprise. He then discovered the corpses of J¨±bei Yamamoto blown to pieces below. He took out a clean handkerchief, covered his hand with it, dragged the corpse out, and upon seeing the face of the body, his face showed a look of shock as he muttered to himself, "Who would have thought... J¨±bei Yamamoto from the Yamamoto Family dying here in Shanghai could stir up a hugemotion. The man hanging under that drone is no simple person; the waters of Shanghai are indeed very deep..."


    After upgrading to Level 3, the Drone Avatar gained a significant loading capacity, allowing Yan Fei to hang from the drone body for a brief flight using a rope.


    Once the drone reached a hillock ten kilometers away from the dock, Yan Fei had it hover two meters above the ground. He jumped down, took off the Sun Wukong mask, quickly washed himself, then pulled out a new set of clothes from Universal Space to change into; he tossed the blood-stained clothes back into it.


    Once he looked unremarkable, he took out the used motorcycle again and rode at high speed towards the city area.


    The drone, on the other hand, flew back towards the sea, as Yan Fei hadn''t forgotten his mission for the night. The Marquis had been taken out by him already, and Zhang Baocheng was still on the run. Without eliminating Zhang Baocheng, Yan Fei would not be able to rest easy. Fortunately, the drone''s quantum radar was advanced enough to lock onto Zhang Baocheng''s yacht position; now, he aimed to kill Zhang Baocheng and eliminate future threats.


    After reaching the high seas, Zhang Baocheng boarded arger yacht that was waiting for him, and then therger yacht started heading east. Only at this time did Zhang Baocheng breathe a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate to have survived a brush with death. What he didn''t know was that the yacht''s course was clearly disyed on the drone''s quantum radar, and the drone was quickly pursuing along his escape route.


    In just three minutes, the drone flying at full speed close to the sea surface caught up with Zhang Baocheng''s yacht. The quantum radar locked onto his yacht and fired two AGM-114 Anti-Tank Missiles specialized for ground attack. The missiles, freed from the drone''s weapon pylon, streaked towards the yacht below with bright trails. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Zhang Baocheng copsed helplessly onto the sofa, still shaken by the evening''s events. He witnessed the Marquis being killed right before his eyes and thought he was doomed. Unexpectedly, his organization intervened at thest moment and saved him. He now firmly believed that the person who wanted him dead was the consistently underestimated Yan Fei. He had thought Yan Fei an easy target but was stunned to find him a ferocious dragon crossing the river, not only dismantling the forces of the Marquis and himself but almost killing him as well...


    As Zhang Baocheng was terrified and nning to request retirement as soon as he met the organization heads, he suddenly saw two sparks flying through the night sky. Before he could react, the yacht shook violently, followed by two huge explosion sounds. He was then mmed against the ship''s wall by the st wave, sustaining severe injuries, unable to move as the sea water rushed in andpletely submerged him.


    In his final moments, Zhang Baocheng had a peculiar thought, wondering if there was a hell in this world? Could he still be human in his next life? If not, being a dog didn''t seem so bad...


    The yacht sank quickly and soon vanished beneath the sea surface.


    The drone circled above the sea, monitoring the effect of the anti-tank missile attack. It appeared that the missiles'' power was considerable ¨C just two were enough to sink the yacht, which may have been due to the enhancement of the drone''s weapon system by a mysterious power.


    After circling the sea surface and seeing no survivors emerge, the drone was reassured that everyone on board had died. Under the control of the Intelligent Brain, it once again dived beneath the sea, heading deep into the ocean.


    With this, Yan Fei''s operation for the night was a tremendous sess. Although he faced many unexpected twists and turns, he had resolved them perfectly through his efforts. From now on, the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng would be permanently erased from his world, no longer posing a threat to him.

 Chapter 46 Chapter 38 Technology Analysis

    46 Chapter 38 Technology Analysis


    Yan Fei finally eliminated Zhang Baocheng and the Marquis, thoroughly resolving his own hidden dangers.


    With his mind at ease, he noticed a change in his Drone''s Merit Points. Before using the Drone to attack, the Merit Points were zero, but after the attack, the Drone''s Merit Points had surprisingly be 37. He opened the Auxiliary Brain and indeed found the relevant data exnation there.


    Dock missile attack, killed 1 person, gained 1 Merit Point; maritime missile attack, killed 16 people, gained 16 Merit Points; sinking an enemy yacht, gained 20 Merit Points. Total gained 37 Merit Points.


    Yan Fei was thrilled. Previously, when he did not receive any Merit for killingrge marine life, he thought that he could only gain Merit Points from people in the future. He didn''t expect that sinking yachts would also earn Merit. That meant in the future, not only would he gain Merit from killing his enemies, but destroying their equipment or gear would also yield Merit Points, making the Drone''s Upgrade path much smoother.


    Yet what puzzled Yan Fei was why, when he killed J¨±bei Yamamoto at the dock, the destruction of so many shipping containers didn''t count toward Merit Points? Could it be because those containers didn''t belong to anyone? Or were the containers deemed too insignificant to meet the Drone''s equipment standards?


    Still unclear about the Drone''s standards for gaining Merit Points, Yan Fei could only give up helplessly. When he was controlling the Drone to attack Zhang Baocheng''s yacht, his body was simultaneously driving a motorcycle towards the city area. With the help of the Auxiliary Brain, his mental capacity was greatly unleashed, allowing him to perform other actions while his Drone Avatar carried outplex maneuvers.


    Once he reached a bustling suburb, Yan Fei put away his motorcycle, hailed a taxi at the roadside, and entered the city area, getting off a great distance from his home. Then he hailed another taxi, rode for a while, got off, and hailed another. In this way, after several vehicle changes, Yan Fei finally returned to his apartment building.


    Back home, Yan Fei felt waves of relief. After taking out Zhang Baocheng and the Marquis, the dangerous situation he faced had greatly improved. Though the Mysterious Organization behind Zhang Baocheng was still a threat, and the sudden appearance of the Cangzhou Sun Family, along with the ninja from the Yamamoto Family in Shanghai docks, gave Yan Fei an immense sense of crisis, he believed in the strength of his Drone Avatar. With the Drone Avatar, he wasn''t afraid of any challenges. Moreover, during this operation he was extremely cautious, killing all who were aware and leaving no clues behind. These people and their organizations might not necessarily trace it back to him.


    On the evening when the Drone Avatar made its debut, it demonstrated terrifyingbat power. Even super experts like J¨±bei Yamamoto were instantly killed by missiles, giving Yan Fei enough confidence to face potential crises in the future.


    Without external threats, Yan Fei finally had the time to settle down and consider his future direction. He now deeply understood the ancient saying ¡ª without long-term considerations, there will be immediate worries. Previously faced with the threat from Zhang Baocheng, he lived in constant life-or-death situations and could only think about the present without any long-term goals; but now that Zhang Baocheng was gone, he was free from the pressure to survive and naturally began to consider his future.


    Yan Fei''s home was about to be demolished, and he would have to move out. The newly acquired small apartment in the city area had finished the renovation period and was ready for upancy, so he would move his family there. That new home was quite small, and he would only live there temporarily, nning to move to a better ce in the future.


    The demolition of Yan Fei''s home was somewhat distressing, but in exchange, he now had a billion in cash. Before, he had no grand ns for his future, content to live in a go-with-the-flow manner. With a billion in cash, he could livefortably for the rest of his life no matter what.


    However, after acquiring the Drone Avatar and experiencing a significant increase in his own strength, Yan Fei''s perspective underwent a great change.


    Facing Zhang Baocheng, the Marquis, and the mysterious organization behind them, Yan Fei ultimately emerged victorious, but sometimes he felt the frustration of being a solitary force, unable to make an impact alone. His enemies had an organization, manpower, and strategists; they could arrange for subordinates to handle affairs. Meanwhile, Yan Fei acted alone, personally dealing with all matters, which was both mentally and physically taxing, and felt burdensome. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    This sense of effort influenced Yan Fei''s thoughts: to protect his safety, he must possess his own forces. With his own forces, not only would there be people to strategize for him and follow hismands, but in critical moments, there would also be those willing to take a bullet for him. Even if all his underlings were ipetent, just their presence alone would be imposing.


    Though Zhang Baocheng had been taken care of by Yan Fei, the mysterious organization behind him remained. Observing Xiao Kong and Xiao Long''s behavior, the organization was undoubtedly a super power. Once they realized that Yan Fei had killed their people, they would not let it go. To contend with this mysterious organization, Yan Fei also needed to build his own forces. Relying on fighting alone, even if his Drone was powerful, Yan Fei would eventually burn out prematurely.


    Thest point was that the Drone''s recent Upgrade consumed at least ten thousand tons of various Raw Materials. Yan Fei didn''t know what the conditions would be for the next Drone Upgrade, but it was evident from this Upgrade that the materials required for the next one would only be greater. The ten thousand tons this time came from the junkyard without much effort on his part, so where would he obtain the Raw Materials for the next Upgrade? Would he go back to the junkyard? And if the required Materials reached one hundred thousand tons or even more, what should he do?


    So, just to meet the huge demand for raw materials needed for the Drone Upgrade, Yan Fei must find ways to make money and then establish his own Forces. Only by leveraging his own Forces could he collect enough upgrade materials. Otherwise, even if the Merit Points met the requirements, the Drone Upgrade would still fail.


    It was with these realizations that Yan Fei decided to give up his previous life attitude of idleness and start earning money to establish Forces of his own.


    Before, if he wanted to make money or establish his own Forces, Yan Fei would have been powerless. But when the Drone reached level 3 and the Auxiliary Brain with the ability of Technology Analysis emerged, it suddenly offered Yan Fei the possibility to earn money and create his own Forces.


    The Auxiliary Brain''s Technology Analysis ability was powerful and could potentially parse out advanced ck Technology. Once Yan Fei sessfully applied this advanced ck Technology tomercial use, he would be able to create a formidable tech Enterprise. Then, with this tech Enterprise at the core, he could expand his business, gather arge number of people, and establish his own Forces.


    As long as this tech Enterprise continued to develop and grow, making substantial contributions to the nation to the extent that the country could not afford to lose it, Yan Fei would bepletely safe. With his own Forces, he would no longer fear that Mysterious Organization. Even the Cangzhou Sun Family or Japan''s Yamamoto Family, should they dare toe knocking, Yan Fei had enough confidence to defeat them.


    The n was promising, but its corey in the Auxiliary Brain''s ability of Technology Analysis to parse out critically important new Technology. Otherwise, Yan Fei''s n would be nothing more than a pipe dream, unattainable in reality.


    In the past few days, aside from exploring the vast ocean world, the Drone Avatar had been fully engaged in parsing the scientific literature data downloaded from the Inte and analyzing various technologies from these documents.


    However, since the current Technology Tree of the Drone only possessednguage skills from all over the world without any technological foundation, the Auxiliary Brain''s speed in technology analysis was extremely slow. Moreover, the Auxiliary Brain could not invade encrypted databases, so all the data it downloaded were those publicly avable on the Inte.


    The knowledge publicly avable on the Inte was very basic andcked any highly sophisticated technologies. Even within these materials, there were numerous key pieces of knowledge that were purposefully obscured, leading to iplete knowledge and significant technological gaps.


    To fill these technological gaps, the Auxiliary Brain needed to expend a great deal ofputing power to deduce and refine these key points. This, in turn, meant that the progress of Technology Analysis was very slow, and it was impossible to produce any useful high-tech in a short period of time.


    In these few days, the technologies parsed by the Auxiliary Brain were all basic science. These basics had long been made public by Human Society and did not exhibit any technological gaps, which is why the Auxiliary Brain was able to parse them. The basic sciences that appeared on the Technology Tree, although simr to Human Society''s basic sciences, were more diverse. Many low-level technologies overlooked by Human Scientists appeared in the Auxiliary Brain''s Technology Tree.


    If Human Scientists discovered the low-level technologies that were additionally present on the Auxiliary Brain''s Technology Tree, they would get more inspiration and create even more unusual products. From this perspective, although the Auxiliary Brain''s technologies were basic, the foundation was moreprehensive. If pursued steadily, given sufficient time, the technologies on the Technology Tree would far surpass Human Society.


    The Auxiliary Brain was very powerful, but itsputing capacity proved insufficient after conducting Technology Analysis. After several days of deduction, the technologies that appeared on the Technology Tree had just reached the level of Human Society in the year 1900. After all, the development of human technology is interconnected and indispensable; the Technology Analysis capability had to ount for everything without skipping ahead.


    To acquire thetest technology, all basic technologies must be fully deduced and analyzed ording to the developmental pattern of the Technology Tree. However, at such a rate of deduction, it would take the Auxiliary Brain at least more than 10 years to parse high-tech superior to current technology that could be directly utilized.

 Chapter 47 Chapter 37: Terrifying Combat Power

    47 Chapter 37: Terrifying Combat Power


    J¨±bei Yamamoto was about to pursue Yan Fei when he noticed this unusual drone. Well-informed and widely traveled, he immediately recognized the drone as the US Army''s "Predator Drone", as the US Army had deployed many of these drones on their homnd bases in Japan, where it was often seen in the skies.


    However, the "Predator Drone" before him was a bit strange; there were no US Army markings on the drone''s body, and it was slightlyrger than the US Army''s Predator Drones.


    Just as J¨±bei Yamamoto was puzzled by the presence of the US Army''s Predator Drone in China, the drone in the sky suddenly dived toward him. rmed, he knew it was a precursor to an imminent attack and frantically evaded, and sure enough, the ground where he had just been standing erupted in a violent explosion.


    At the critical moment, Yan Fei''s drone finally made it back to Shanghai. When Yan Fei had uncharacteristically engaged J¨±bei Yamamoto in conversation, it was not just to extract intelligence but also to stall for time, waiting for the arrival of his Drone Avatar. Now that the Drone Avatar had arrived, Yan Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the terrifyingbat power of the drone, he would wreak havoc this evening and eliminate all hidden threats.


    J¨±bei Yamamoto was horrified, having never expected the Predator Drone to attack him. Despite being a highly skilled ninja from Japan, he felt as powerless as amb when faced with a technologically advanced fighter drone bristling with formidable firepower.


    With a wealth ofbat experience, J¨±bei Yamamoto dodged the first wave of attacks from the drone and immediately leaped into the nearby container terminal, darting between the tight spaces of the shipping containers, then used Ninjutsu to cloak himself, attempting to evade the drone''s assault.


    What surprised J¨±bei Yamamoto was that the drone was equipped with a quantum radar far surpassing Earth''s technological level. If a quantum radar could detect stealth fighter jets, how could it fail to see through a Ninjutsu that relied on deceiving the human eye for stealth? n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    So the drone flew over to the shipping container area and began attacking the hidden J¨±bei Yamamoto. He quickly realized his concealment was ineffective, so he simply abandoned stealth and started maneuvering around the cramped container area, dodging the naval cannon attacks from the drone.


    The drone''s quantum radar had locked onto J¨±bei Yamamoto and was using its 30 millimeter Vulcan cannon to attack him, but J¨±bei was a renowned expert from Japan, agile and nimble. Coupled with the maze of containers everywhere, he managed to evade the drone''s attacks at the critical moments.


    Yan Fei, through his Intelligent Brain, controlled the drone, continuously firing the 30 millimeter naval cannon at J¨±bei Yamamoto below. There was a series of massive explosions on the dock, and some mistakenly targeted shipping containers exploded and caught fire. Luckily, these were empty containers, containing no cargo; otherwise, the losses tonight would have been substantial, which wasn''t Yan Fei''s intention.


    J¨±bei Yamamoto, relying on his agility and the narrow container area, remarkably kept evading the naval cannon''s attacks. This was the Shanghai dock, and even at night, it was aze with lights. The explosions were quickly noticed by people in the distance, and dock managers had already started driving towards this location.


    Yan Fei had chosen to attack with the naval cannon instead of missiles for fear that the Chinese side would realize the drone''s immensebat strength while clearing the battlefield. After all, the shock effect of cannons and missiles are not the same. If the government found out that a missile attack urred domestically, they would surely initiate an investigation, which might uncover the secrets between Yan Fei and the drone, and they might ssify Yan Fei as a terrorist to be targeted.


    However, because of obstacles, the drone''s naval cannon couldn''t kill J¨±bei Yamamoto in a short time, and now with time pressing, Yan Fei no longer concealed his strength, abandoned the cannon attack, andunched an air-to-airbat missile at J¨±bei Yamamoto.


    Although J¨±bei Yamamoto had sessfully avoided the drone''s attacks, he inwardly cursed his luck. He had not expected that a US Army drone would appear at the Shanghai container terminal. This was China; how could a US Army drone appear here, and why was it attacking him? Could it be that his enemies knew he was in China and wanted to use the US Army''s weaponry to kill him?


    As J¨±bei Yamamoto exerted all his energy to dodge the naval cannon attacks, he suddenly saw a fireball shoot into the sky from behind him, then turn a wide arc in the air, heading straight for him.


    J¨±bei Yamamoto paled with shock, for he recognized it instantly as an air-to-air missile from the drone, and it was heading straight for him as its target. J¨±bei could avoid the naval gunshots in the tight space because those were in a straight line and could easily be blocked by the containers. But the air-to-air missile could make turns, and with its high speed, once locked on, he would surely be doomed.


    Desperate, J¨±bei Yamamoto ran, trying to find cover to evade the missile. Guided by the quantum radar, the air-to-air missile relentlessly locked onto J¨±bei and rapidly closed in. Shortly, the missile caught up with J¨±bei Yamamoto, and in his desperate gaze, it exploded violently.


    J¨±bei Yamamoto was indeed a famous expert from Japan, and his strength was extraordinary. He managed to avoid vital injuries when the air-to-air missile exploded. However, the massive power of the missile still engulfed J¨±bei Yamamoto in the st.

 Chapter 48 Chapter 37 Terrifying Combat Power_2

    48 Chapter 37 Terrifying Combat Power_2


    J¨±bei Yamamoto screamed horribly as the explosion sent him flying, crashing into a shipping container before falling to the ground, rolling several times, motionless. Next to him, the Hidden Chrysanthemum Sword was twisted into two parts by the st, still emitting wisps of blue smoke.


    Yan Fei carefully approached and saw that J¨±bei Yamamoto''s guts were torn asunder, his spine snapped in half, dead beyond any doubt.


    J¨±bei Yamamoto had far greater strength than Yan Fei, but when faced with the Drone, he was mercilessly crushed. Compared to the terrifyingbat power of the Drone''s 30 millimeter naval cannon and air-to-air missiles, J¨±bei Yamamoto''s own strength was utterly insignificant. Just one missile was enough to end the life of this Japanese expert at a dockyard in China.


    Seeing that J¨±bei Yamamoto was finally eliminated, Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure from J¨±bei Yamamoto had been immense, even greater than that from Xiao Long, and had it not been for the sudden arrival of the Drone Avatar, he would have had no escape tonight. So even if it meant revealing the missile attack trump card of the Drone, it was worth it.


    The air-to-air missile killed J¨±bei Yamamoto and started a fierce fire, drawing more attention. But as Yan Fei prepared to withdraw from the scene, he noticed a strange phenomenon.


    A blurred figure appeared atop a distant shipping container; before Yan Fei could see the figure''s features, it vanished. Then the figure reappeared on top of another container, again disappearing quickly, before reappearing atop yet another container. With each disappearance and appearance, the figure traversed a vast distance at a startling speed.


    Yan Fei was shocked and knew that the fierce battle at the dock must have attracted an expert, so he dared not linger. He quickly stowed the motorcycle on the ground into the Universal Space, then pulled out a rope, threw it up, and it hung perfectly from the weapon pylon of the Drone, which had already fired all its missiles. The Drone then took off, whisking Yan Fei away from the location.


    Just as Yan Fei left, that blurred figure appeared where Yan Fei had just stood, bing clearer¡ªit was the clean-looking young man who had previously been seen in the office of Wei Chao from the Municipal Public Security Bureau''s Criminal Investigation Team.


    The young man, watching the retreating Drone and Yan Fei dangling below, showed a look of surprise on his face. Then he spotted the corpse of J¨±bei Yamamoto below, exploded from the missile. Taking out a clean handkerchief to cover his hand, he dragged out the body, and upon clearly seeing the face, his own face exhibited shock, muttering to himself, "I didn''t expect this! J¨±bei Yamamoto of the Yamamoto Family to die here; this is likely to cause a tremendous uproar. The person hanging below the Drone isn''t simple¡ªthe waters of Shanghai run deep..."


    After the Drone Avatar was upgraded to Level 3, it gained a massive load-carrying capacity, allowing Yan Fei to use a rope to hang from the Drone Body for brief flights.


    Once the Drone flew to a small hill ten kilometers away from the dock, Yan Fei controlled it to hover two meters above the ground. He jumped down from the Drone, removed the Sun Wukong mask he wore, quickly cleaned himself up, then took a fresh set of clothes from the Universal Space to change into, discarding the blood-stained clothing into the Space.


    When he appeared outwardly normal, he took out the second-hand motorcycle again and sped towards the city area.


    Meanwhile, the Drone flew back towards the open sea, as Yan Fei hadn''t forgotten his objective for tonight''s operation. The Marquis had already been dealt with, and Zhang Baocheng was still on the run; Yan Fei wouldn''t be able to rest easy until he''d finished off Zhang Baocheng. Fortunately, the Drone''s Quantum Radar was advanced enough to have locked onto Zhang Baocheng''s yacht a long time ago. Now, he was on his way to eliminate Zhang Baocheng and prevent future troubles.


    After reaching the high seas, Zhang Baocheng boarded arger yacht that had been waiting there, which then began to travel eastward. Only then did Zhang Baocheng breathe a sigh of relief, grateful for his narrow escape. Yet he was unaware that the exact location of the yacht was disyed on the Drone''s Quantum Radar, and the Drone was swiftly pursuing in the direction he had fled.


    In his final moments, Zhang Baocheng oddly wondered if there was a hell in this world, if he could still be human in his next life, and if not, whether being a dog might not be so bad...


    20:59


    In just three minutes, the Drone, flying at full speed low over the sea, had caught up with the yacht Zhang Baocheng was on. The Quantum Radar locked onto the target and fired AGM-114 Anti-Tank Missiles specialized for ground attacks. Two missiles detached from the Drone''s weapon pylon, trailing bright mes as they flew towards the yacht below.


    Zhang Baocheng copsed helplessly onto the sofa, shaken by the events of the evening. He had witnessed the Marquis being killed right before his eyes; although he had initially despaired, believing his own demise was inevitable, he was unexpectedly rescued by the organization behind him. Now he was convinced that the person trying to kill him was Yan Fei, whom he had always overlooked. He assumed Yan Fei to be an easy target, but he turned out to be a fierce dragon crossing the river, not only dissolving the forces of the Marquis and himself but also nearly taking his own life...


    Just as Zhang Baocheng was terror-stricken and considering retirement upon meeting with the organization''s leader, he saw two sparks in the night sky approaching. Before he could react, he felt a jolt on the yacht, followed by two massive explosions, and then he was mmed against the hull by the st, seriously injured and unable to move, as a deluge of sea water rushed in, engulfing himpletely. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    In his final moments, Zhang Baocheng oddly wondered if there was a hell in this world, if he could still be human in his next life, and if not, whether being a dog might not be so bad...


    The yacht sank rapidly, soon vanishing beneath the sea surface.


    The Drone circled over the sea, observing the effects of the Anti-tank Missile attack. It appeared that the missiles were quite powerful; just two of them were enough to sink a yacht. This might have been rted to the Drone''s weapon system also being enhanced by the Mysterious Power.


    After circling the sea and detecting no survivors surfacing, the Drone, assured that everyone on the boat was dead, plunged into the sea depths again, propelled by the Intelligent Brain.


    With that, Yan Fei''s night operation was a resounding sess. Despite many unforeseen events, all were perfectly resolved with Yan Fei''s efforts. From now on, the Marquis and Zhang Baocheng were erased from his world, never to threaten him again.

 Chapter 49 Chapter 39: Long-Lost Phone Call

    49 Chapter 39: Long-Lost Phone Call


    Yan Fei discovered the drawbacks of the Auxiliary Brain, which made it somewhat difficult for him to quickly develop his own forces with its assistance. However, after sleeping on it, Yan Fei suddenly had an epiphany the next morning, thinking of an excellent strategy.


    Technologies rted to industrial manufacturing require many prerequisite technologies, and indeed, parsing and inferring these technologies takes a lot of time. However, there are several emerging industries that don''t have as many prerequisites, which can be developed to seize opportunities for rapid growth.


    Originally, Yan Fei nned to prioritize the development of the information technology industry, since it is an emerging industry. The information industry doesn''t require many precursor technologies and has enormous development potential. As long as it has core technologies, it is possible to grow into a world-ss super enterprise, and China has several such super enterprises.


    But several recent events have caused Yan Fei to have concerns. China and the United States are in a trade war, and once the United States exerted its power and stopped providing chips and operating software to Chinese enterprises, it killed off arge Chinese technology enterprise. This exposed the Chinese enterprises'' weakness ofcking core technologies. Therefore, even if Yan Fei were to enter the information technology industry, he definitely wouldn''t be able to solve the hardware problem in the short term. So even if his enterprise became the world''s number one, as soon as the United States throttled him by not supplying chips or not making their productspatible with his, his enterprise would immediately be done for.


    To break through this barrier, core hardware must be developed. This brings the situation back to square one, which is theck of arge amount of high-end scientific and technological prerequisite knowledge regarding chips, and even if these prerequisites were met, he stillcks the equipment to produce these core hardware, which only Western countries possess. So in the end, his development is still limited by the technological blockade and equipment export of Western countries like the United States.


    Therefore, Yan Fei temporarily gave up on the information technology industry, as it is a massive systemic project, and he currentlycks the ability to develop in this field. But once he has the capability, he will certainly intervene in this industry andpletely break the Western technological blockade on China.


    Besides the information technology industry, the biomedical technology industry is also emerging. From the rise of biomedical technology to now, it has only been a few short decades. The rted knowledge is not as vast andprehensive as basic science and can be said to be a minor branch on theplete technology tree. If Yan Fei specializes in the biomedical branch, he can save a great deal of time and might soon get hold of cutting-edge ck technology in this field.


    If he were to develop the manufacturing industry, the required funding would be enormous. Not only would arge amount ofnd resources be needed, various types of equipment would also have to be purchased, and there would be no visible results in the short term. Therefore, for Yan Fei, the fastest returning industry would undoubtedly be the biomedical industry. The biomedical technology doesn''t need too much capital, won''t require too many production sites once production begins, and the production equipment is easy to obtain. Once the products gain consumer eptance, they can rise rapidly in a short period.


    Most importantly, in the biomedical industry, no one can choke off Yan Fei''s enterprise. As long as his enterprise grows, no one can stop it.


    Yan Fei has one hundred million in cash, so his initial start-up capital is already in ce. Once the Auxiliary Brain can infer practical biomedical technologies, hispany can start up quickly. And once hispany grows strong, his status will be as solid as a rock, and no one will dare to easily go against him.


    Having gradually solidified his ideas, Yan Fei made a development n. He thenunched the Drone, ordering the Drone Assisted Intelligent Brain hidden in the ocean trench near Shanghai to cease parsing and inferring other technologies. Instead, it used Quantum Radar to connect to the WIFI at his home and began downloading various biomedical knowledge from the Inte.


    On the Inte of Earth, countless pieces of knowledge about biomedicine are avable for free download. Arge amount of experimental data on biological entities can be acquired without charge, and in somerge medical forums, a wealth of clinical medical data can be obtained. Of course, the real trade secrets of biomedical technology cannot be found on the Inte.


    The data rted to biomedical technology is as vast as a sea of smoke, and even with the Auxiliary Brain''s formidable speed of downloading without interruption, it took a full two days to download all the rted materials from the Inte. In the time that followed, the Auxiliary Brain would keep an eye on the Inte''s dynamics. As soon as new spections or experimental data about biomedical technology appeared, it would download them to its database and use these materials for parsing and inferring.


    Although biomedical technology is only a minor branch on the technology tree and hasn''t had many years of development, the relevant knowledge involved is still very extensive, and the Auxiliary Brain''s progress in parsing is quite slow. After all, there is a nk in the Auxiliary Brain''s technology tree, and all knowledge umtion has to start from scratch. But once there is a starting point, the process of parsing and inferring will elerate.


    The Auxiliary Brain has no physical form, and all its parsing and inference capabilities can only be performed within its database. Even if results are inferred, it cannot conduct experiments on its own. However, once it understands the detailed data of biological entities, along with the experimental and clinical data published online by variousboratories, it can simte simr experiments. After repeated verification, once the experimental data is found to be correct, the Auxiliary Brain will finalize the technology and mark it on the technology tree. As long as a technology is marked on the technology tree, it indicates the technology is correct ¨C such is the amazing nature of the technology tree.


    On the Inte, detailed data on various biological entities are extensive andplete. Through decades of human research, not only has the animal body been thoroughly studied, but the human body has also beenprehensively researched, so the Auxiliary Brain easily obtained a vast amount of human body data.


    In the process of human research on biological entities, each study would result in some discoveries,rge or small, and the same research by different people could lead to different findings. However, due to certain reasons, the research data of these researchers were not integrated. That is, I discovered this, you discovered that, but due to various reasons, these findings discovered by different people are notpletely unified.


    After obtaining these data, the Auxiliary Brain couldbine them and immediately found many things usually overlooked by people. That is to say, the Auxiliary Brain truly integrated humanity''s discoveries, and even if the current biomedical technology ceased to develop, it could continue to enhance human biomedical technical levels until all the developmental potential was exhausted.


    However, this integration process requires massive dataputation and simtion experiments, and the Auxiliary Brain''sputing capability is still insufficient for rapid data integration. But Yan Fei believed that as long as the Auxiliary Brain continued to parse and infer, it would certainly make new, world-shocking discoveries based on current knowledge. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    A weekter, the day when Yan Fei''s home was to be demolished finally arrived. Over the past few days, Yan Fei had moved the belongings from his home to a small apartment in the city. Taking onest look at the only building his parents left him, his heart filled with sorrow, he turned and walked away. The demolition team entered behind him, starting to tear down the house imbued with Yan Fei''s special attachments.


    Living in his new home, Yan Fei devoted all his energy to the Auxiliary Brain.


    In that time, the Auxiliary Brain had been analyzing the biomedical technology data downloaded from the Inte. Although it was starting from scratch in learning this science, it was growing at a remarkable speed. It autonomously collected and corrected those aspects that were usually neglected or had deviations. Therefore, the biomedical technology it possessed at the moment, albeit basic, far exceeded that of other biomedical techpanies around the world.


    Yan Fei hadn''t been going out these days, nor had anyone sought him out. The missile attack at the Shanghai dock had been deliberately downyed by the authorities, who simply reported it as a chemical explosion without any casualties.


    As for the heavy casualties among Marquis''s men, it was portrayed as a massive vendetta among gangs. Then the Police Departmentunched arge-scale operation and wiped out the remnants of Marquis''s criminal forces. Even the other unrted gangs suffered heavy losses during this crackdown and were forced toy low, no longer daring to cause trouble.


    The yacht that was sunk by Yan Fei''s drone off the coast of China didn''t even make it to the news, as if it had been forgotten altogether.


    Yan Fei enjoyed a rare period of leisure time. His only hope now was that the Auxiliary Brain coulde up with some ck technology, which he would then use to build up his own forces.


    That day, as Yan Fei was monitoring the progress of the Auxiliary Brain''s analysis, he received a long-overdue phone call. Hesitating for a moment after seeing the caller ID on his mobile phone, he eventually answered the call, and a crisp, sweet female voice came through.


    "Fei, it''s me!"


    Hearing this voice, Yan Fei felt a bit dazed, but quickly recovered and said, "Pingping, it''s been a long time, what made you think to call me?"


    The girl named Pingpingughed, "What, can''t I contact you if there''s nothing wrong?"


    Yan Fei replied with augh, "No, it''s just that it''s been so long since west spoke. Hearing your voice all of a sudden makes me happy."


    Pingping said, "I''m back in Shanghai."


    Delighted, Yan Fei asked, "When did you get back?"


    "Just arrived," Pingping replied, "And guess what, Yang Qi has alsoe to Shanghai. Let''s get together!"


    Surprised, Yan Fei said, "You mean Yang Qi is in Shanghai too? Is he alone?"


    She answered, "No, he''s on a business trip with colleagues. I was also surprised when I found out; I didn''t expect him to be able to travel for work now."


    "Alright, let''s meet up tonight and call Yang Qi too," Yan Fei said.


    "Okay, I''ll let Yang Qi know," Pingping said.


    The girl who had been talking to Yan Fei was named Lu Pingping. She and Yan Fei, along with Yang Qi, were ssmates at Zhendan University. However, after graduation, they had gone their separate ways and seldom met. Now that Lu Pingping had returned to Shanghai and Yang Qi was also there on business, it was a good opportunity for them to get together and catch up on each other''s lives.

 Chapter 50 Chapter 40: Chinas Genius Class

    50 Chapter 40: China''s Genius ss


    At seven in the evening, inside the private room of Juwei Restaurant in Shanghai, Yan Fei met his long-lost friends Lu Pingping and Yang Qi.


    Lu Pingping was youthful and beautiful, fashionably dressed, and stood tall at a full 1.7 meters. Not only was her face pretty, but her figure was also attractively curvaceous. Upon seeing her, Yan Fei couldn''t help but swallow hard. Yang Qi, on the other hand, was a frail and short young man wearing ck-rimmed sses, giving off a somewhat foolish and naive appearance.


    Yan Fei originally rose to his feet, intending to hug Lu Pingping, but hesitated and merely shook her hand instead, and when it came to Yang Qi, he just patted him on the shoulder.


    Once they were seated, Lu Pingpingughed and said, "Fei, you seem to be glowing recently. Have you had some good fortune?"


    Yan Fei replied with a smile, "My family''s building was demolished, and we werepensated with some money. Naturally, I''m glowing because my pockets are full."


    Lu Pingping said, "Didn''t you say that building was the only thing your parents left you? Were you willing to let it be torn down?"


    Yan Fei gave a wry smile and said, "It was beyond my control, an individual can''t stop the inevitable."


    Regretfully, Lu Pingping added, "It was so sudden. There was no warning. I didn''t even have the chance to see it onest time. After all, I also have memories tied to that ce."


    Yang Qi, who had been gazing into the void beside them, suddenly spoke up, "Lu Pingping, hadn''t you already known about the demolition of Yan Fei''s house? When he had people causing trouble at his door, you even looked for a well-knownwyer in Beijing, ready toe to Shanghai to help Yan Fei with thewsuit. It was only because that troublemaker got exposed by the police and was arrested that you didn''te. Since you were already aware of this, why are you pretending not to know now? Your behavior is so strange, I can''t understand it."


    After hearing Yang Qi''s words, Lu Pingping looked somewhat embarrassed and didn''t know what to say.


    Yan Fei said, "So that''s what happened. Pingping, I need to thank you. You truly are my best friend."


    Lu Pingping responded, "I didn''t really help much."


    After speaking, she red fiercely at Yang Qi sitting beside her, but Yang Qi didn''t even look at her and continued staring into space, deep in thought.


    At that moment, the food and drinks were served, and Yan Fei poured a ss of alcohol for Lu Pingping without paying attention to Yang Qi. Meanwhile, Yang Qi kept silent, simply picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat.


    Yan Fei and Lu Pingping clinked sses and downed the alcohol in their cups, and Yan Fei''s face turned a shade of deep red.


    Lu Pingping asked, "After all these years, can you still not hold your liquor?"


    Yan Fei replied with a bitter smile, "Perhaps my constitution is special; I have no capacity to metabolize alcohol. Even a small amount makes me drunk."


    Yan Fei had always been healthy since childhood, but his major weakness was his inability to drink alcohol. Even a small ss would leave him dizzy and drunk. Even though Yan Fei acquired his Drone Avatar and his body was transformed by a mysterious power, he still had no tolerance for alcohol. Thus, even a small ss made his face turn red. Of course, his drinking capacity had already much improved from before.


    Lu Pingping snatched Yan Fei''s ss away and said, "If you can''t drink, don''t force it. Hurting your health is the bigger issue."


    Yan Fei looked at Lu Pingping and suddenly asked, "By the way, how''s your boyfriend doing?"


    Lu Pingping poured herself a ss of alcohol, downed it in one gulp, and said, "My boyfriend is the same as always, neither good nor bad. Buttely, he hit a stroke of dumb luck and made a small fortune."


    Yan Fei said, "That''s good to hear."


    Lu Pingpingughed, "His money is his own; it has nothing to do with me. I still need to work hard."


    Yang Qi seemed suddenly jolted awake by this statement and asked, "Lu Pingping, for all these years, you''ve been saying that you have a boyfriend. But we''ve never met him. Are you sure your boyfriend really exists and isn''t just a figment of your imagination?"


    Lu Pingpingughed and said, "Yang Qi, your thought process is really different from ordinary people. You even doubt such things. Whether I have a boyfriend or not, isn''t Fei the clearest on that?"


    Yan Fei said, "Yang Qi, I can prove this, Lu Pingping really does have a boyfriend, and she''s had one since her senior year of university."


    But Yang Qi seemed as if he hadn''t heard Yan Fei speak, continuously muttering, "This is illogical, totally illogical!"


    Watching Yang Qi''s behavior, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping shook their heads together.


    The three of them were ssmates at Zhendan University, but their ss was a bit special, with only 15 people. The sign outside, however, read "China Genius ss." Yes, Yan Fei''s ss back then was the "China Genius ss" created by Zhendan University.


    Although there were only 15 students in this genius ss, each student was a true genius from around the country, far excelling in one particr aspect. Of course, there were two exceptions, and those were Yan Fei and Lu Pingping. The person who established this China Genius ss was Lu Pingping''s father, Lu Shuchun, the Executive Vice President of Zhendan University, who, in an attempt to add to his political achievements, racked his brains to inaugurate a genius ss at Zhendan University.


    The geniuses of this ss were personally recruited by Lu Shuchun from all over the country, verified as true geniuses by the university, each one at a considerable cost to the school. And it just so happened that it was time for Lu Pingping to apply for university. Although her IQ was slightly higher than the average person''s, she was a certain distance away from being a genius. However, Lu Shuchun wanted to get his daughter into this genius ss to add a brilliant page to her future resume, so he began to look for ways to achieve this.


    Coincidentally, during the college entrance exams, there was a highly difficult math problem that every student across the country got wrong, except for one person who got it right, and that person was Yan Fei from Shanghai.


    Yan Fei had started school a bit earlier than others, so he was the youngest in his ss. When he was in high school, his academic performance was only above average, nothing extraordinary. Unexpectedly, during the college entrance exams, he had a breakout moment, as if cheating in his mind; he could solve all the exam questions at a nce, and he ended up scoring 650 points.


    And that math question that stumped the entire nation was also solved by Yan Fei. The problem was highly obscure, hardly present in any test databases, posing a significant knowledge challenge. Against all odds, Yan Fei performed heroically and solved the problem, being the only examinee in the country to do so.


    When Lu Shuchun discovered that Yan Fei had answered this question correctly, he investigated Yan Fei and learned he was merely a good performer on the spot, not a genius. However, he still faced the pressure and recruited Yan Fei into the genius ss. With Yan Fei now present forparison, the much more capable Lu Pingping was logically also brought into the genius ss by Lu Shuchun. As a result, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping became the only two ordinary individuals in this ss of geniuses.


    To instruct the genius ss, Lu Shuchun invited the country''s most renowned experts and professors to teach these geniuses. By this time, Yan Fei no longer had any outstanding performance; he couldn''t even understand the content of these experts'' and professors'' lectures. His heroic performance in the college entrance exams was just a fleeting moment.


    A kindred spirit to Yan Fei was Lu Pingping. She was originally very confident in herself and looked down on those so-called geniuses, believing they were hyped up by the media with no real talent. However, after studying with them, she was shocked by the geniuses'' performance and felt utterly outssed. With just one small exam, Lu Pingping''s score ranked second tost in the genius ss, thest ce being the less capable Yan Fei.


    It was because of their shared experience that Yan Fei and Lu Pingping became closer and closer, and in the end, they became tightly-knit best friends.


    The most peculiar among the genius ss was Yang Qi. Yang Qi had an extremely high IQ; no matter the method used, no one could measure the limit of his intelligence because he maxed out every test. However, this same reason led Yang Qi to suffer from Schr Syndrome, appearing naive and simple-minded, lost in his own world, andpletely incapable of interacting ormunicating with others.


    Although the other geniuses were entric, they would at least exchange ideas and verify skills with one another. Yang Qi, however,pletely ignored these people and, with his excellent performance exams, firmly held the number one spot, so the collective of geniuses ostracized him.


    Out of pity for Yang Qi''s pathetic state, Yan Fei often helped him. Influenced by Yan Fei, Lu Pingping also frequently interacted with Yang Qi. Gradually, Yan Fei, Lu Pingping, and Yang Qi formed their own small circle, bing very good friends. Of course, it was always Yan Fei and Lu Pingping looking after Yang Qi, who only felt at ease when he saw the two of them.


    Everything in the genius ss was going smoothly until the end of the senior year, when Lu Pingping''s father, Lu Shuchun, was reported for corruption, resulting in his imprisonment. The China Genius ss he had energetically founded was criticized and then denied by the university in its entirety. After a meeting and discussion, the China Genius ss was disbanded, and the geniuses were assigned to other sses to continue their studies.


    Lu Pingping was deeply affected by her father''s imprisonment and left Shanghai after graduation to head north to Beijing, where she found a job and never returned to Shanghai. After graduating, Yang Qi was recruited by a famous research institution in Beijing and was rumored to be specially engaged in technical research. It was unexpected that he would appear in Shanghai today.


    Previously, Yang Qi couldn''tmunicate with people at all or live independently, but when they met this time, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping found that Yang Qi had changed significantly. Although it was still difficult for him to interact, he couldmunicate to some extent. The symptoms of Schr Syndrome had significantly lessened; thus, he could go out alone and had traveled to Shanghai on a business trip.


    When the two saw Yang Qi this time, they felt like he had be apletely different person. If it weren''t for his naive and simple appearance and the asional nonsensical things he said, they would have suspected that Yang Qi had been switched with someone else. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Yang Qi had a very strong logical thinking ability, giving him absolute control over scientific knowledge that no one could surpass. But when faced with humanities knowledge, he was extremely feeble-minded. That also exined why he couldn''t grasp what Lu Pingping had said earlier, repeatedly muttering "This is illogical."

 Chapter 51 - 41: Dream Technology

    Chapter 51- 41: Dream Technology


    Yan Fei asked, "Pingping, what are your ns next?"


    Lu Pingping suddenly became mncholic and said, "I want to visit my father first. You know I haven''t seen him for several years."


    Lu Pingping''s father, Lu Shuchun, was imprisoned for corruption and is currently serving his sentence in jail. As his daughter, Lu Pingping was very upset. However, since Lu Shuchun vited nationalws, she was helpless. Moreover, she had moved far to Beijing and hadn''t seen her father for several years. Now that she was back, she nned to visit him in prison.


    Yan Fei, looking at the sorrowful Lu Pingping, also felt a bit sad. He tried to lighten the mood but suddenly remembered his own n, so he said, "Pingping, as you know, I have a sizable amount of cash on hand, and I''m nning to use it to start a business. I wonder if you''re interested in joining?"


    Lu Pingping indeed snapped out of her mncholy and said, "Fei, you want to start your own business? Which industry are you considering?"


    Yan Fei said, "It will probably be rted to biomedical technology. When the timees, we''ll release a few products rted to biomedical technology."


    Lu Pingping was somewhat surprised and asked, "Probably? You mean you''re not even clear about what the business will be focused on?" n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Yan Fei felt somewhat helpless inside. The Auxiliary Brain was analyzing the biomedical technology data and information. He had only gained some basic technology, and there was no telling how long it would be before aplete product was developed, so of course, he didn''t know what products would emerge.


    Yan Fei said, "I''ve made contact online with several famous medical research institutes. They recently made a breakthrough, but because their research is somewhat ahead of its time, nobody is willing to support them. So, they are looking for investment everywhere. I thought their research had potential, so I agreed to invest in them. With my support, their research can continue. It''s just that these research findings are still being perfected, and I''m not clear what the final products will be."


    Lu Pingping covered her mouth in surprise and said, "You''re actually trusting what people online say? Aren''t you afraid of being scammed?"


    Lu Pingping was well-traveled and had her own ability to discern right from wrong. But she had great trust in Yan Fei; since he said there were no issues, she believed him. Although she found the situation a bit absurd, who was she to doubt Yan Fei? After thinking it over, she asked, "How are the profits divided between you?"


    Yan Fei confidently said, "There''s no need to worry about that. I have visited their research institutions and projects personally and am quite confident in their research. Once their technology matures, the products they release will be a generation ahead of the world, and I''ll gain substantial profits."


    Lu Pingping was well-traveled and had her own ability to discern right from wrong. But she had great trust in Yan Fei; since he said there were no issues, she believed him. Although she found the situation a bit absurd, who was she to doubt Yan Fei? After thinking it over, she asked, "How are the profits divided between you?"


    Yan Fei said, "These research centers will hand over the medicine they''ve developed to me and will be responsible for dealing with any side effects and further research and development. I will take care of the production and sales of the medicine, and all operational funding wille from me. They will get 25% of the profits, while I will get 75%."


    In fact, the research centers that Yan Fei mentioned didn''t exist in the world. He fabricated these entities to conceal the existence of the Auxiliary Brain. After all, he had no knowledge of biomedical technology himself andcked any biotech talents, yet he was about to release powerful biomedical medicine, which would inevitably raise suspicions. These fictitious research centers were his scapegoats. As long as he kept quiet, no one would know where these research centers were.


    Lu Pingping said, "The profit-sharing sounds reasonable, but aren''t you afraid that they might kick you out and choose to coborate with someone else after the medicine bes sessful? Then all your initial investment would be wasted."


    Yan Fei smiled mysteriously and said, "You don''t need to worry about that at all. I have ways to keep them in check, and I assure you, they will never kick us out to go it alone."


    Lu Pingping furrowed her brows, mulling over the existing interests in her mind.


    Yan Fei asked again, "So, are you willing to work on this with me?"


    Lu Pingping said, "Since you''re the one asking me, I will certainly agree. My main concern lies with the research centers, due to their being too many uncertainties."


    Yan Fei said, "You can rest assured on that. For some reasons, I can''t disclose the thing that restrains them, but you can trust me, I''m definitely not afraid they will cast me aside."


    Since Yan Fei had said so, Lu Pingping was reassured and said, "In that case, I trust you, and I agree to join."


    Yan Fei was overjoyed; he knew about Lu Pingping''s capabilities. She was immensely talented in business administration and had made a name for herself while still at university. Over the years since graduating, her managerial abilities had grown significantly. Having her as his business partner, he had no worries.


    Just as Yan Fei was celebrating, Yang Qi suddenly said, "Lu Pingping, weren''t you a senior executive at a top 500pany in Beijing? You even said you were about to get a promotion and a pay raise, so why suddenly decide to join Yan Fei''s enterprise?"


    Lu Pingping red fiercely at Yang Qi and said, "I think there''s more potential for development here, so I''ve decided to make a move. Is there a problem with that?"


    Yang Qi made ament, "Giving up an imminent promotion and pay raise from a stable position as a senior executive in a top 500 corporation to join a fledglingpany that hasn''t evenunched and whose purpose is unclear, yet still thinking it has more potential for development. Human emotions indeedck any logic¡ªI can never understand them, let alone women. That''s not scientific at all¡­"

 Chapter 52 - 41 Dream Technology_2

    Chapter 52 - 41 Dream Technology_2


    Yan Fei had no idea how Lu Pingping was doing in Beijing, and assumed she was having a tough time there, which was why she came back to Shanghai. He then invited her to start a business with him, only to find out through Yang Qi that she had actually been thriving in Beijing, which made him feel rather awkward. He said, "So you were doing so well in Beijing, let''s forget about my invitation then!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Lu Pingping immediately got furious and said, "Are you backing out now? But it''s toote, since I''ve agreed, I will definitelye and join."


    Yan Fei gave a dryugh and added, "I''m happy you''re willing to help me, I just don''t want to hinder your career."


    If the Auxiliary Brain''s ck Technology was sessfully deduced, Yan Fei naturally wanted to bring Lu Pingping over to help him, as he could provide her with even better opportunities. But at the moment, no one knew if the Auxiliary Brain could analyze out the ck Technology, and by bringing Lu Pingping over like this, Yan Fei felt he might be putting her at a disadvantage.


    Lu Pingping said, "Being an executive at a top 500 globalpany may look morous, but at the end of the day, you''re still working for someone else, and no matter how much money you make, it still belongs to others. Since it''s all about making money, why not help you instead?"


    Seeing that Lu Pingping was willing to give up her executive position at a top 500 globalpany to assist him, Yan Fei was very pleased. He said, "You''ve made such a hasty decision, haven''t you discussed it with your boyfriend first?"


    Lu Pingping replied, "This kind of decision doesn''t need to be discussed with him. He will definitely support me when he finds out. We''re still young and it''s the perfect time to strive in society. For our future happiness, he will surely understand."


    So in a room where old friends gathered for a small reunion, Yan Fei managed to recruit Lu Pingping, who had a knack for business management, to his yet-to-be-establishedpany, which was still uncertain about its future direction. However, it was bound to shine in theing years, possibly even changing the course of human history.


    The next day, Yang Qi and his colleagues left Shanghai. After Lu Pingping visited her father in prison, she met up with Yan Fei to start discussing thepany''s establishment. But during this discussion, the two had their first disagreement.


    Lacking innate business and management skills and having spent the past few years cooped up at home, Yan Fei had forgotten much of what he learned in school. If hispany was to seed, aside from the Auxiliary Brain''s ck Technology, it wouldrgely depend on Lu Pingping''s management abilities. So, in a bid to keep hermitted to his cause, he offered her a 20% stake in the newpany.


    However, Lu Pingping adamantly refused Yan Fei''s offer for shares and dividends, agreeing only to receive an annual sry based on market rates.


    Curious about her reasons, Yan Fei inquired further, and Lu Pingping exined that she didn''t want to take shares because she didn''t wish for there to be any inequality in their status. With shares, she and Yan Fei''s rtionship would be about majority and minority shareholders, creating a hierarchy. Without shares, she''d be just a simple corporate manager, a business partner free to resign if there were a disagreement in vision, without the risk of damaging their rtionship over equity disputes.


    Yan Fei had offered shares because he wanted to tie Lu Pingping to his chariot, but with her steadfast refusal, it seemed she could leave anytime. Nevertheless, he trusted that based on their many years of friendship, she wouldn''t leave hispany unless he fired her. This was evident when Lu Pingping willingly left her prestigious position at a global top 500pany to join his yet-to-be-established enterprise.


    In the end, Yan Feipromised and decided to proceed ording to Lu Pingping''s wishes. Once the thorny issue of equity was resolved, all other matters became simpler. Hence, Lu Pingping went north to Beijing to resign and then returned to Shanghai.


    A weekter, an obscure littlepany named Dream Technology Development Co. Ltd. registered at the Shanghai Commerce Bureau with a registered capital of 10 million. Thepany had only one shareholder, and that was Yan Fei, who owned 100% of the shares.


    Initially, Lu Pingping suggested that Dream Technology Development Co. Ltd. should register in the Cayman Inds and control the enterprise through an offshorepany. This would confer tax benefits, create an international image, and facilitate international business. However, Yan Fei, after consideration, declined the proposal and chose to register thepany in Shanghai instead.


    Registering the Company in Shanghai didn''t carry tax advantages or a global mantle, but it gave Yan Fei greater peace of mind. Even if it meant paying more in taxes, this money would circte domestically and eventually be used within the country, contributing a little of his own strength to the national economy. Had he registered thepany in the Cayman Inds, any significant growth would invite opportunists. If the Cayman Inds encountered substantial upheavals, it could cause big trouble for hispany. To keep control of his future in his own hands, Yan Fei deliberatelyid his foundations domestically from the start.


    Lu Pingping had only made a professional suggestion, aiming to secure the greatest benefits for Yan Fei. Still, once Yan Fei made his decision, she agreed with it and thepany''s registration was set in Shanghai.


    Through Lu Pingping''s efforts and coordination, the paperwork for Dream Technology Development Co. Ltd. was approved within ten days. From then on, Yan Feipletely left behind his otaku life, stepping into an entirely new world.


    Yan Fei became the Chairman of thepany, responsible for guiding its developmental direction and overseeing the big picture. Lu Pingping became the General Manager, in charge of managing thepany''s day-to-day affairs.


    As soon as thepany was formed, Lu Pingping rented a floor in the eastern suburbs of Shanghai for the office. The building was a towering 30 floors, their office located on the 18th, spanning more than a thousand square meters. Although the location was somewhat remote, the rent was affordable and the transportation reasonably convenient.


    After securing the office space, Lu Pingping became busy, starting to recruit staff and set up thepany''s organizational structure. In this aspect, Yan Fei was aplete novice, leaving all the work to Lu Pingping. All he could do was pray that the Auxiliary Brain would quickly decode the technology.


    Under Yan Fei''s watchful eye, the Auxiliary Brain''s analytical progress suddenly elerated. By the tenth day since thepany''s establishment, the Auxiliary Brain finally produced a significant breakthrough in biomedical technology - it hadpletely deciphered the operational principles of the human immune system.

    Thanks to book friend: Shenmian for the reward!


    The content of the book has been somewhat subdued these past few days, but this is only a temporary state; no novel can maintain a climax forever. However, after this brief period, the book will reach a new peak, which will surely meet everyone''s expectations for the book!

 Chapter 53 Chapter 42 Immune System

    53 Chapter 42 Immune System


    The immune system is an important system for biological entities to carry out immune responses and immune functions. It consists of immune organs, immune cells, and immune molecules.


    The immune system has the ability to recognize and eliminate antigenic foreign substances, to coordinate with other systems within the body, and to maintain the stability of the internal environment and physiological bnce. The immune system is the most effective weapon against pathogens'' invasion, capable of detecting and clearing foreign substances, and extrinsic microorganisms that cause fluctuations in the internal environment.


    If the human body were seen as a country, the immune system would be the army that maintains national security. Once there''s an invasion from enemies or an internal rebellion, the army would quickly detect the enemies or rebels and deploy to eliminate them.


    With no enemy invasion or internal rebellion, the country''s security is naturally guaranteed. However, if the country fails to detect invading enemies or rebels, the enemy will wreak havoc within the country, causing substantial harm, which manifests as the country falling ill.


    Therefore, the immune system is the most important security barrier within the human body. As long as the immune function is normal, the body rarely gets sick. But once there is a problem with the immune function, the chances of the body falling ill greatly increase. The majority of diseases that ur in the human body are rted to the immune system.


    Although humans have researched the human immune system for decades and reached some systematic conclusions, we have not yet fully understood the operational mechanisms of immune functions. Most of what is known about the operation of the immune system is conjecture, with some of these conjectures being fantastical and others seemingpletely absurd.


    Human research institutions will conduct experimental validations based on these conjectures, but with limited research funding, they will only validate the conjectures they deem useful. Other conjectures are dismissed as jokes and put away.


    The Auxiliary Brain, when analyzing rted data, did not differentiate the credibility of these immune system conjectures; instead, it parsed and deduced all conjectures in the system, and surprisingly found clues within these wild spections, opening a breakthrough and unraveling the ultimate mystery of the human immune system''s operation. Since this technology has been marked on the Technology Tree, it indicates that the technology is affirmed by the Technology Tree and is correct.


    Although Yan Fei did not have professional medical knowledge, he had a certain understanding of the immune system and was clear about its importance to the human body. Therefore, when he learned that the ultimate secret of the human immune system had been decoded, he was ecstatic.


    Knowing the operating principles of the immune system means that corresponding immune therapies can be developed for human diseases, offering the hope that some previously incurable diseases may be healed. Basically, all medical research institutions in the world are studying human genes, hoping to unlock the mysteries of human life at the gic level. By that time, all human diseases could potentially be cured from a gic perspective. But with the current level of human technology, if we can''t even fully decrypt the human immune system, how could we truly understand the mysteries of human genes?


    The breakthrough that the Auxiliary Brain made in decoding the immune system is not as shocking as fully deciphering human genes, but as long as the human immune system is properly utilized, it is already sufficient to treat most current diseases.


    Yan Fei learned about the operating principles of the immune system through the Auxiliary Brain, and found it to be quite amazing. Not only can it protect the body from infections by foreign substances, but it also maintains the stability of the internal environment and physiological bnce.


    For example, if the immune system operates normally, the body can maintain perfect bnce, which is reflected in the maintenance of physical body shape.


    ording to the immune system, the human body needs to maintain a perfect body shape, and thus an Obesity Antibody would emerge within the body, able to automatically break down excess fat and maintain a perfect body shape.


    However, in practice, the Obesity Antibody in the immune system tends to disappear gradually with age. Once the Obesity Antibody is lost, the immune system will turn a blind eye to the excess fat in the body and not actively break it down. Over time, obesity will ur.


    If the Obesity Antibody in the immune system does not disappear, then once the body fat content exceeds the critical threshold defined by the immune system, the Killer T Cells of the immune system will be rapidly deployed to eliminate the newly formed fat cells, maintaining the perfect body shape.


    It''s not just the body shape; even the skin has corresponding Skin Antibodies within the immune system. If parasites or other potential damaging foreign substances appear on the skin, the immune system will also dispatch Phagocytic Cells or Killer Cells to engulf these foreign substances and restore the skin to perfect health.


    Regrettably, substances like Obesity Antibodies and Skin Antibodies within the human immune system suddenly disappear after puberty ends. As a result, the body invisibly bes obese and misshapen, and the skin bes extremely poor.


    Having learned the operating principles of the immune system, Yan Fei had an idea: to find a way to restore these antibodies that maintain the body''s internal bnce in the immune system.


    Once the obesity antibody is restored, even if humans indulge in eating and drinking, as long as they do not exceed a certain limit, their body shape will remain normal. Skin antibodies, on the other hand, will maintain human skin health, preventing various moles, e, parasites, and blemishes from appearing on human skin.


    Previously, nopany in the world was capable of producing perfect weight loss and beauty products. Even Yan Fei himself had never imagined that one day he would create such products. But after the Auxiliary Brain cracked the ultimate secret of the immune system, manufacturing these products became very easy.


    When Yan Fei realized the value of the ck technology decoded by the Auxiliary Brain, he understood that his chance to rise had finallye. Hispany''s gship products were about to debut, rather than remaining just an empty shell.


    With a research target in mind, under Yan Fei''s guidance, the Auxiliary Brain began to collect more human body data on the Inte. It also collectedposition data of various medicines and even vast amounts of nt data. Its goal was to analyze these big data sets to find ways to restore various antibodies in immune cells of the human body.


    Considering the limitedputational power of the Auxiliary Brain, Yan Fei did not spread his efforts too thin, but instead focused on the research of the obesity antibody. After all, the standard of living has greatly improved, and humans have transitioned from malnutrition to overnutrition, leading to a significant increase in the number of obese people. The weight loss market was big enough to support the rapid initial development of hispany.


    Only once there was hope for his products did Yan Fei have the confidence to face Lu Pingping. After all, Lu Pingping resigned to help him, and if he couldn''t even produce a product, that would be too unfair to her.


    Yan Fei found Lu Pingping and discussed with her, sharing his ns.


    Lu Pingping listened carefully to Yan Fei''s introduction, then asked, "Do you mean that our products will be avable soon, but you are wondering how we should sell them, is that correct?"


    Yan Fei said, "Yes, our first batch of products will be rted to weight loss. As for the effects, you don''t have to doubt them; they will definitely be the most effective weight loss drugs in the world, with no toxic side effects, and the weight reduction will be very fast. Now the key issue is whether we should market this product as a medicine or sell it as food or dietary supplements?"


    Lu Pingping asked, "Does this product contain medicinal ingredients?"


    Yan Fei shook his head and said, "It''s not clear yet, but there''s a strong likelihood that it doesn''t contain medicinal ingredients. It should be a substance extracted from nts, natural and non-toxic with no side effects."


    In the Auxiliary Brain''s research, Yan Fei didn''t want to use chemical drugs or gene drugs to target the fat genes, but rather hoped to use purely natural nt extracts. He didn''t believe that gene drugs were stronger than the functions of the immune system. After all, humans know too little about gics, and gene drugs have not undergone prolonged research. If the modifications at the gic level take centuries to show side effects, then it would be toote for humans to regret.


    That''s why Yan Fei insisted on utilizing the capabilities of the immune system to achieve the goal of treating diseases through innate immune functions. The abilities of the immune system are native to the body, and various functions have always been present, only weakening or disappearing over time. He was now merely restoring these inherent abilities of the human body without affecting growth and development, which could certainly be said to be purely natural without toxic side effects.


    However, while the Auxiliary Brain had not yet deciphered theplete technology, Yan Fei was unclear whether his ideas would be realized, and he could only speak vaguely.


    Although Lu Pingping did not understand the intricacies involved, she began to analyze, "If the product contains medicinal ingredients, then we can definitely only sell it as medicine. If there are no medicinal ingredients, we canpletely sell it as food or dietary supplements. If we market it as medicine, we need to go through a lot of procedures and pass several phases of clinical trials by the country, and even if everything goes smoothly, the time to market will be at least two years. However, if we sell it as dietary supplements or simply food, basically no time is needed, and as long as we pass the national safety tests, we can go straight to market."


    Yan Fei thought for a moment and said, "We can first design two ns for selling as either medicine or dietary supplements (food), getting ready for various production and sales preparations beforehand. As soon as we determine the product type, we can immediately activate the corresponding n, saving a lot of time."


    Lu Pingping was a bit frustrated. She had never seen apany like this, existing for so long without knowing what product they were going to sell and having to create multiple ns for different scenarios. If it wasn''t Yan Fei who had asked her to join, she would have turned around and walked away after seeing such a boss. But since it was Yan Fei who asked her toe, she could only try to manage the tasks he had entrusted to her properly.

 Chapter 54 Chapter 43 Weight Loss Cookies

    54 Chapter 43 Weight Loss Cookies


    Watching Lu Pingping leave, Yan Fei felt a bit sorry, but he didn''t have a solution. He previously thought that the Auxiliary Brain''s technology analysis and deduction would be quick, but who knew it would take so long without producing specific results, leaving no choice but to let his close friend be frustrated for the time being.


    A weekter, the Auxiliary Brain finally gave Yan Fei a pleasant surprise. The technology for adding the Obesity Antibody to the Human immune system had atst been deduced and analyzed.


    To ensure a fail-safe oue, the Auxiliary Brain conducted numerous experimental simtions within its own Technology Analysis System, and to guaranteeputational power, Yan Fei hadn''t let the Drone go out during this time, dedicating allputational capabilities to technology deduction.


    After multiple simtion trials with consistent results, the Auxiliary Brain confirmed the correctness and effectiveness of the technology, and recorded it onto a branch of the Technology Tree. The Technology Tree only documents mature technologies, so once marked, it indicates that the technology has matured and can be put intomercial operation.


    Under Yan Fei''s guidance, the technology met all his requirements, with all necessaryponents extracted from natural nts, ensuring safety andck of toxic side effects.


    It was precisely because of the Auxiliary Brain''s extensive data verification that it took so much time. This technology diverged from the production thinking of chemical drugs in the Western World, drawing inspiration from China''s Traditional Chinese Medicine system. To obtain non-toxic and effective optimumponents, the Auxiliary Brain downloaded and studied theplete canon of Chinese Medicine as well as modern nt Data, and finally, produced a definitive form.


    This form somewhat resembled a Chinese Medicine prescription but broke free from the constraints of traditional prescriptions. Itprised 13 nt ingredients, with one being from Chinese Medicine, and the remaining 12 beingmon nts from everyday life. The one medicinal herb was also widely cultivated and Affordable, incurring virtually no cost. The other twelve nt species were the mostmon nts found in the mountains, essentially cost-free. In other words, the final form in Yan Fei''s possession was both affordable and effective, without worry of being bottlenecked by Raw Materials.


    Although the required Raw Materials for the form were simple, the entire extraction and manufacturing process was veryplex. It involved many steps, and any issue at any stage could result in a failed product.


    Curiously, the production site for this kind of product required no special conditions; it could even be done at home with arge iron pot and a gas stove. However, the most challenging aspects were the order in which to add the ntponents, the timing of their addition, controlling the intervals of ingredient input, the simmering time, and even the stirring method and temperature during simmering all had specific requirements.


    Only by meeting all these production conditions could the perfect product be refined. And if there was an error in any of the Programs, the effort would be wasted due to the failed concoction.


    Having received the form, Yan Fei set out to manufacture the product, thus he began preparing the Raw Materials. As the needed Materials were quite simple, he easily gathered the 13 nt ingredients and prepared them in his home kitchen, then proceeded to simmer the product under the Intelligent Brain''s direction.


    Despite the Intelligent Brain''s instructions and Yan Fei''s perfect body control, he still failed on his first attempt at producing the product. The failure continued until the fifth attempt when he eventually seeded.


    The sessfully refined product was a light golden, silver-white liquid with a sweet fragrance¡ªthis was the final color and scent deduced by the Auxiliary Brain for a sessful product. The failed products all turned ck, resembling the bitterness of Chinese Medicine and emitting a foul odor. Only the sessful product would disy a silver-white liquid with light golden luster and sweet fragrance¡ªtruly amazing.


    Yan Fei was delighted to find out from the Auxiliary Brain''s deduction results that the concentration of this silver-white liquid was extremely high, so it had to be diluted before it could be used orally, allowing the Immune System to mark the Obesity Antibody and thus achieve the goal of weight loss. The dilution degree was so high, it reached an astonishing ten thousand times. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Yan Fei calcted that the 50 milliliters of liquid he had sessfully refined could be diluted to dose 200 people. With one liter of such liquid, 4000 people could be treated. Although producing this product was very energy-intensive, with all the right Equipment, Yan Fei could remain focused and produce 500 liters in a day, which meant his daily output was enough for 2 million people. At least in terms of production volume, there were no issues with this product.


    Having produced a mature Weight Loss product, Yan Fei then began to prevent others from cracking hismercial Secret. Even though the Intelligent Brain''s method for concocting the product was veryplex¡ªif someone obtained the form without the Auxiliary Brain''s assistance, they could not replicate it¡ªhe still had to be extremely cautious. Many amazing events ur in the World every day, and one oversight could lead his product''s Secret to be leaked, which would be a tremendous loss.


    Therefore, Yan Fei began to ponder how to conceal his product''s secret. Eventually, he thought of a brilliant method: to incorporate the Weight Loss liquid capable of marking the Obesity Antibody into other Items and then sell them under the guise of those Items. When people consumed these Items, they would ingest the Slimming liquid and achieve the weight loss effect just the same.

 Chapter 55 Chapter 43 Weight Loss Cookies_2

    55 Chapter 43 Weight Loss Cookies_2


    With this, Yan Fei could mislead those who wanted to pry into his trade secrets, leading them to the wrong targets and directions. This brought to mind what Lu Pingping had told him about the differences between pharmaceutical and food product sales, prompting him to make a decision. That was to sell weight loss cookies and mix the slimming liquid into the cookies, so that people would have no idea what ingredients were causing the weight loss.


    Once Yan Fei had made his n, he immediately instructed the Auxiliary Brain to analyze and deduce the cookie-making technology and to figure out how to infuse the slimming liquid into the cookies without affecting their efficacy. Consequently, the Auxiliary Brain began downloading vast amounts of data on cookie-making from the Inte and started integrating the two products as per Yan Fei''s requirements.


    The cookie-making process wasn''tplex. After understanding the variousponents that made up a cookie, the Auxiliary Brain conducted numerous experimental deductions within the system and soon came up with an optimal cookie production process. Then, it integrated the slimming liquid into the cookies and carried out extensive calctions. On the third day, the Auxiliary Brain finally came up with an outstanding cookie-making technology.


    This technology ensured the perfect integration of the slimming liquid into the cookies without impacting their weight loss effect while also guaranteeing the best taste for the cookies. This optimal taste was calcted by the Auxiliary Brain ording to the preferences of the majority of people. In other words, even without any weight loss effect, once people tried these cookies, they would be attracted by their deliciousness and fall in love with them.


    From then on, Yan Fei finally had aplete manufacturing technology, which included the method to make the slimming liquid and the process to make delicious cookies infused with the slimming liquid. With this set of processes, Yan Fei''s business finally got on the right track and was no longer just an empty shell.


    Once Yan Fei had aplete set of cookie-making technology, along with the recipe and process for making slimming liquid, he immediately called in Lu Pingping for consultation. He initially thought he would have to start everything from scratch, but Lu Pingping had already considered all possible scenarios and had made corresponding ns. Therefore, as soon as Yan Fei presented the weight loss cookies data, she started taking relevant actions right away.


    In the suburbs of Shanghai, near the sea, there was arge food processing factory. This factory had shut down due to poor management, but the nt was quite extensive, and the machinery inside was still rtively well-maintained.


    This food processing factory was the target that Lu Pingping had already scouted ording to the n. After receiving detailed product information, she immediately began acquisition negotiations for this factory.


    The food processing factory covered 150 acres, which might not sound like much elsewhere, but in the preciousnd of Shanghai, it was considered a significant factory. The equipment in the food processing factory was about 80% new and well-maintained.


    The only regret was that thend on which the food processing factory stood did not belong to the factory itself but was leased from the collectivend of the nearby township, with less than five years left in the lease period. The previous owner had chosen the wrong direction leading to substantial losses and had been stuck in this quagmire for a long time. As a result, he was eager to make a deal during the negotiations with Lu Pingping, who took advantage of his impatience, demonstrating her skilled negotiation techniques. The owner quickly conceded, and eventually, the factory''s ownership and the lease rights to the associatednd were transferred for forty million yuan.


    13:39


    Securing the food processing factory for forty million yuan was undoubtedly a bargain. If it weren''t for the previous owner''s urgency to sell and Lu Pingping''s preemptive move, the price would have risen by at least 50%. The only concern for Lu Pingping was that the factory''snd was not their own, but rather rented collectivend of the township¡ªthat could lead to uncertainties in the future.


    Initially, Lu Pingping suggested to Yan Fei to outsource the food processing production while strengthening the supervision of the production process. This approach would not only reduce costs but also allow for quick productionunch, killing two birds with one stone.


    But Yan Fei had his own considerations. After all, the so-called weight loss cookies were just a gimmick; their sole valuey in their excellent taste. As for nutritional value, who nowadays suffers from nutritional deficiencies? The reason they could trigger weight loss was by incorporating specialponents from the slimming liquid, which marked weight loss antibodies in the immune system, allowing it to automatically regte the body''s fat content and achieve the effect of weight loss and body shaping.


    This slimming liquid was the real core secret of Yan Fei, a secret he had not even shared with Lu Pingping. If there was one person in the world that Yan Fei could trust, it would undoubtedly be Lu Pingping. Even if Lu Pingping wanted to steal all his money and harm him, he would have noints, for their rtionship was beyond question.


    Yan Fei didn''t tell Lu Pingping the truth, not because he didn''t trust her, but because he feared an idental leak of the secret. The moment a secret is known by a second person, the likelihood of it getting out increases dramatically. Moreover, once Lu Pingping learned of the secret, others might target her, thus putting her in danger¡ªwhich was also a way to protect her.


    Thus, to maintain secrecy during the cookie production, the Auxiliary Brain designed a process that could add slimming liquid during what appeared to be merely flour mixing. Meanwhile, it was actually introducing the slimming liquid into the mix. With this step in the process, the weight loss cookies genuinely became effective.


    Therefore, it was essential for Yan Fei to keep this process under his direct control; he would add the slimming liquid ording to the production schedule. Outsourcing the production of these cookies would require entrusting this step to someone else, greatly increasing the risk of exposure. This was the main reason why Yan Fei insisted on owning his own factory.


    And now with his own factory, by retrofitting the food processing machinery, he had the capability to produce cookies. During the machinery modification process, Yan Fei discreetly installed the additional equipment on the production line and operated it himself, secretly adding the slimming liquid to the mix.

 Chapter 56 Chapter 44: Highly Popular

    56 Chapter 44: Highly Popr


    Lu Pingping was indeed a genius in management, havingpleted the enormously tedious tasks of factory equipment calibration, recruitment and training of production workshop workers, procurement of raw materials and packaging, all within a mere ten days, demonstrating an exceptionally high work efficiency. If Yan Fei had to handle these matters himself, he would need at least two months. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After the acquisition, the food processing factory was renamed "Dream Food Processing Co., Ltd.," a wholly-owned subsidiary of "Dream Technology Development Co., Ltd."


    The food processing factory had previously produced biscuit products and had the production qualifications for biscuits, so as long as the relevant department''s filings were in order, production could continue. Once the biscuits produced passed inspections by the relevant departments, they could go on the market for sale.


    In terms of the sales model for the weight-loss cookies, Lu Pingping, after consulting with Yan Fei, rejected the approach of opening physical stores and instead chose to directly open an online store on Taobao for sales.


    After all, Yan Fei''s startup capital was limited, and following the acquisition of the food processing factory and the recruitment of production staff, procurement of raw materials and packaging, there wasn''t much left. The model of finding agents by collecting security deposits was also dismissed by them. The weight loss cookies had no brand recognition at this stage, so even if they held such an investment conference, no one would attend, let alone be foolish enough to pay a deposit. Therefore, in the early stages, the sales department at Dream Foods was tasked with opening an online store.


    Yan Fei had great confidence in his weight-loss cookies, believing that as soon as someone tried them, they would immediately enjoy the pleasure of losing weight. But at the beginning, how to make a name for himself and promote his weight loss products to the public was a big challenge. After all, this was not an era when the "fragrance of wine needs no bush," and no matter how good the products were, promotion still mattered.


    So, if the products had no brand recognition, even opening an online store would attract no business. Originally, Yan Fei wanted to create an Inte sensation, raising product awareness by having dieters personally try the weight-loss cookies, but Lu Pingping vetoed this idea.


    Such a method was easily exploitable bypetitors. Once rivals spread negative information while they were actively hyping the product, and once that negativity fermented and magnified online, the product would be shunned despite its efficacy, leading to a premature defeat, turning heroes intoughingstocks.


    Therefore, to ensure a good start for the product''sunch, Lu Pingping still decided to take a traditional approach to product promotion, choosing to invest most of their remaining funds in advertising. Advertising costs for television stations and major portal websites were prohibitively expensive, beyond their budget, so Lu Pingping decided to focus on dense advertising in city bus televisions, subway car televisions, and transportation station tforms.


    These locations offered low-cost advertising, and were frequented by concentrated groups ofmuters. Thesemuters, often too busy to exercise,monly experienced symptoms of obesity, yet they had sufficient purchasing power. They were the target customers for the weight-loss cookies.


    While advertising in these ces might make the product seem lower-ss, it urately targeted their intended customers, making it a cost-effective strategy. Moreover, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping had absolute confidence in their product; convinced that anyone willing to try the weight-loss cookies would certainly see results. Once word of mouth from consumers began to spread, that would be the true beginning of their product''s sales surge.


    So, in the early stages, their goal was to broaden product recognition and attract as many people as possible to try their product.


    Of course, in order to prevent the product advertisement from appearing too low-end, Lu Pingping did not skimp on the promotional video. She hired a famous domestic actress to endorse the weight-loss cookies. Just the production costs and the celebrity endorsement fee alone cost them 12 million for the year. This was virtually all of Yan Fei''s remaining funds, but both Yan Fei and Lu Pingping believed that as long as they built up product recognition, the product''s effectiveness would ensure a rapid market breakthrough and lead to hot sales.


    Due to limited funds, they decided to start their initial promotional campaign exclusively in Shanghai. As China''s financial capital, not only was it economically advanced, but it also served as a fashion benchmark with a leading influence in various aspects. Once the weight-loss cookies became popr in Shanghai, it was certain to drive sales in other cities.


    Additionally, by choosing to promote on a small scale within Shanghai at the outset, they would not draw the attention ofpetitors, allowing them to buy time to grow and strengthen.


    As Yan Fei was not familiar with business management, he entrusted all matters of product promotion and sales to Lu Pingping and focused solely on training the production workers. During production, he stealthily mixed the slimming liquid into the flour to create those delicious cookies with perfect weight-loss effects.


    In the interest of the food factory''s security, Yan Fei recruited a few ex-military personnel from Shanghai''s job market and based thepany''s security department on them. The food factory was located in a township on the outskirts of Shanghai, while thepany headquarters remained unchanged on the 18th floor of the same building. This security department was responsible for safeguarding both the headquarters and the food factory.


    On Lu Pingping''s end, everything was arranged in an orderly fashion, meeting Yan Fei''s expectations. One monthter, all preparatory work waspleted, and the factory began operating at full capacity, continuously producing the weight-loss cookies that were stockpiled in the warehouse.


    At Yan Fei''s special request, the slimming liquid devised by the Auxiliary Brain contained no chemical drug ingredients. Therefore, when the relevant departments tested the weight-loss cookies, they found no illegal additives or harmful substances, and the cookies quickly passed inspection, gaining the qualifications for market sales as a food product.


    On the other side, Dream Foods'' weight loss cookie advertisements and promotional posters started to frequently and densely appear on Shanghai''s buses, subways, and stations. The endorsement for the weight loss cookies was still that of a famous domestic actress, slowly drawing the attention of some target customers.


    In the initial days afterunch, the online store for weight loss cookies on Taobao was dismal. Despite several days passing, not a single order was ced. After all, over the years, people had been bombarded by too many weight loss product advertisements, none of which truly worked, and even if weight loss was achieved, it was often followed by a rebound. This caused many to lose faith in weight loss products.


    However, since the general poption tended towards obesity, there was a consistent demand for weight loss, and whenever a new product was introduced, people were still willing to give it a try, driven by the universal desire for beauty. The only issue was that these nutritional biscuits advertised were quite expensive, priced at a staggering 2000 yuan for a box containing just 20 cookies, with a total weight of only 200 grams, meant to be consumed over five days.


    Yan Fei had calcted through the Auxiliary Brain the dosage of the slimming liquid needed for effect and found out that the human body only required 25 milligrams of the slimming liquid to develop weight loss antibodies. A box of the weight loss cookies contained 0.1 gram, which is 100 milligrams. Even ounting for some wastage during consumption, there was more than enough for the body to absorb an effective dose of the slimming liquid, allowing the immune system to acquire the weight loss antibodies and achieve weight loss.


    These were the precise results calcted by the Auxiliary Brain, so Yan Fei had decided on such specifications for the weight loss cookies. The only thing that people found shocking was the price, which had reached 2000 yuan per box.


    But both Yan Fei and Lu Pingping felt that the price was not expensive. Modern people generallyck exercise and consume excess nutrition, creating a massive demand for weight loss. The money spent on various weight loss products and physical exercise far exceeds 2000 yuan, and they might not even achieve weight loss. Whereas their own weight loss cookies genuinely worked; just one box could result in quick weight loss without any toxic side effects to the body, making it a very cost-effective option for those who wanted to lose weight.


    It''s almostughable; Yan Fei''s invention, which uses the immune system for weight loss, was a cutting-edge biological technology that could easily have garnered him a Nobel Prize in Medicine should he have published it. Yet, now it was disguised within cookies and sold as a food product without daring to reveal its true nature. He didn''t even file a patent for the invention, keeping itpletely concealed.


    However, there was no choice in the matter. Should the slimming liquid be exposed, even if it contained no drug ingredients, it would undoubtedly be regted as a medicine. And once it fell under pharmaceutical regtions, there would be various restrictions, and proving its efficacy andck of toxic side effects would require a lot of time¡ªsomething Yan Fei didn''t have the time or patience to deal with through official procedures.


    Lately, Yan Fei had been experiencing a sense of urgency. Ever since he took out Marquis and Zhang Baocheng two months ago, it had been eerily quiet, unlike the constant life-and-death encounters he faced before. He had the feeling that he was in the calm before the storm, on the verge of facing a fierce challenge.


    Therefore, he was eager to quickly expand his influence and grow his power, for only when he increased in strength would he be capable of self-preservation. Relying solely on the martial force of drones, Yan Fei was far from invincible.


    Although the advertising campaign for the weight loss cookies was aggressive, there were absolutely no orders from the first to the fifth day of official sales. It wasn''t until the sixth day that they achieved a breakthrough with a meager five boxes sold. Sales were eight boxes on the seventh day, twenty on the eighth, seventeen on the ninth, twenty-two on the tenth, sixteen on the eleventh, and thirteen on the twelfth.


    The sales performance over the first twelve days was dismal, a severe blow to the confidence of the sales staff at the Company. Despite therge-scale and high-frequency advertising bombardment, total sales were only 101 boxes, with revenue amounting to 202,000 yuan, making them question the potential sess of the product...


    Unexpectedly, starting from the thirteenth day, sales of the weight loss cookies began to skyrocket, reaching a hundred boxes in a single day. On the fourteenth day, sales hit 520 boxes, and on the fifteenth day, they soared to 1430 boxes.


    From then on, daily sales rapidly increased, and the weight loss cookies became extremely popr. By the thirtieth day, daily sales had astonishingly reached 10,000 boxes, with single-day revenue exceeding 20 million yuan, achieving a truly terrifying figure.

    Thank you to readers: Lin ¡ñ Yun, Wind in the Rainbow, and V Style Vagabond for your donations. Thank you to all readers for your collections and rmendations.


    With your support, the book has made it through the plot transition period. Starting tomorrow, the book will return to the thrilling journey of drone upgrades.


    Some readers mentioned that the previous plot was too nd. The author has therefore cut short the main character''s business development phase, so the storyline may not stand up to scrutiny in some aspects. For example, food cannot bear the name of weight loss, nor can such effects be advertised, among other issues. Please understand these shorings! Let''s just enjoy it for the fun...

 Chapter 57 Chapter 45: The Storm Rises Again

    57 Chapter 45: The Storm Rises Again


    The first batch of consumers had developed weight loss antibodies in their immune system after using the Weight Loss Cookies for five days. Subsequently, with the action of the immune system, they began to break down excessive body fat, resulting in rapid weight loss effects.


    Faced with such quick weight loss effects and without experiencing any side effects, consumers of the Weight Loss Cookies were ecstatic. They began to share their weight loss experiences on the Inte or with their friends and family. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The shared content included not just their weight loss stories but also before-and-afterparison photos of these sessful dieters. With these live testimonials, the reputation of Dream Foods'' Weight Loss Cookies spread wildly within a small area. This positive word of mouth quickly proliferated, making more people aware of the existence of Weight Loss Cookies. It was this good reputation that caused the sales of Weight Loss Cookies to explode after just over ten days.


    In today''s society, the Inte has developed so tremendously that it has broken the barriers of space. Thus, even before Yan Fei and Lu Pingping had thought about it, the good reputation of Dream Foods'' Weight Loss Cookies had spread nationwide. Before their promotional ads had even reached beyond Shanghai, consumers across the country had already learned about the Weight Loss Cookies and began purchasing them from Taobao''s online store, which led to the wild surge in sales figures for the Weight Loss Cookies.


    It was at this point that Lu Pingping finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had personally experienced the amazing effects of the Weight Loss Cookies, she was still somewhat concerned that they might not be well received and that consumers wouldn''t be willing to buy them, since it''s not umon for good products to fail and go bankrupt in the market.


    Now, seeing the booming sales, Lu Pingping finally rxed. Yan Fei had invested his entire fortune in this product, and if sales failed, Yan Fei would lose everything. She was relieved that she hadn''t let Yan Fei down.


    Yan Fei himself was not too worried, after all, his slimming liquid possessed the world''s most cutting-edge top-notch technology. As long as consumers were willing to try, they would discover its magical effects. He was confident in his product and wasn''t concerned about failure; the worst he expected was a slower development.


    Yan Fei''s only concern was suppression frompetitors and other unforeseen circumstances. Fortunately, with the rapid rise of the Weight Loss Cookies, they managed to capture a certain market share before theirpetitors could react, safely passing the most vulnerable startup stage. This was all thanks to Lu Pingping''s hard work. Without Lu Pingping''s meticulous operation, even with the strong functions of the slimming liquid, it would have taken at least six months to achieve the results they had now.


    With the Weight Loss Cookies selling inrge numbers, the Company''s ount became flush with funds. Therefore, Lu Pingping adjusted the sales strategy, started cing advertisements on National Television Stations and other popr television stations, and sponsored variousrge-scale variety shows. At the same time, they also promoted aggressively on major websites, sparking a national promotional frenzy about Dream Foods'' Weight Loss Cookies within a short period.


    Although this round of advertising expenditure was massive, it essentially made everyone aware of the product. With this wave of promotion, the sales of Dream Foods'' Weight Loss Cookies surged again, quickly breaking through fifty thousand boxes a day, which meant a daily sales revenue of one hundred million yuan.


    At this time, agents from all over the world slowly started to approach them, seeking regional sales rights for the Weight Loss Cookies. After discussing it, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping decided to gradually stop selling through the Taobao store and switch to a national regional agent system instead.


    With online sales, all the profits were Yan Fei''s, but adopting a regional agent system meant they would have to share some of the profits. However, this would allow Yan Fei to win over these individuals as allies since they sharedmon interests. They would naturally unite around Yan Fei and provide protection.


    With everyone''s interest aligned, they would share in the glory and the loss together. So, if any detrimental news about the Weight Loss Cookies emerged locally, these people would act swiftly to resolve the issue, as they were influential locals with extensive resources and power.


    Yan Fei''s choice of a regional agent system, giving up a portion of the profits, was not just for the convenience of sales but to use the Weight Loss Cookies to form his own alliance of interests, to have these agents stand with him. Should he ever encounter trouble, these agents and the people behind them would be his strongest support. After all, he represented their interests, and they would protect him. If he continued to go it alone as before, he would inevitably run into trouble; no matter how strong an individual is, it cannot match the power of a collective.


    Moreover, selling Weight Loss Cookies exclusively on Taobao would leave their fate in the hands of Taobao. Should Taobao close Dream Foods'' online store for any reason, the Weight Loss Cookies would disappear from the market. So to spread risk, Yan Fei would not rely solely on one online tform for sales.


    Yan Fei left the preparation of the regional agent conference to Lu Pingping, while he himself operated the Auxiliary Brain to continue analyzing and deducing technology, trying to acquire other technologies to avoid the situation where hispany would copse if something happened to the slimming liquid.


    But to Yan Fei''s disappointment, after the Auxiliary Brain had finished analyzing the slimming liquid technology, its analysis and deduction of other biotechnologies slowed down, and for a long time, no new technology emerged.


    However, Yan Fei was not overly anxious. The technology he wanted was generally top-end and required the Auxiliary Brain to perform a huge amount of calctions for analysis and deduction, oveing countless technical challenges. It wouldn''te easy, but he believed that as long as the Auxiliary Brain continued its work, they would eventually obtain other high-tech inventions.


    One evening, while Yan Fei was checking the progress of technology analysis in the Drone Assisted Intelligent Brain, a loud sound of water came from the seabed where the Drone was docked. He quickly switched his view and saw that several huge objects had fallen from above into the sea where the Drone was located.


    Yan Fei activated the Quantum Radar for a scan and discovered that the objects were severalrge crates, tightly sealed and leaving him wondering what exactly was inside.


    During this time, the Drone Avatar had been active in the waters near Shanghai, operating within a hundred kilometers of the city''s offshore area. This was not only to ensure that the Drone''s Quantum Radar could connect to the Inte at any time but also to ensure that the Drone could quickly appear by Yan Fei''s side in case of any emergencies, to prevent him from having to fight alone again.


    While patrolling underwater, the Drone Avatar had been mapping the terrain of the ocean floor, so by now, the entire terrain map of the waters near Shanghai had been stored in the Auxiliary Brain. The Drone Avatar had also chosen an optimal hiding spot to dock, to avoid unintended detection.


    The Drone Avatar was currently hidden in an ocean trench 40 kilometers from Shanghai, with a depth of 180 meters. There were no undercurrents here, nor were thererge fish, even arge expanse of sandy seabed, making it ideal for the Drone to dock.


    The Drone was resting on the ocean floor while ships asionally passed overhead, but everyone coexisted peacefully, without any incidents, until now when a few boxes fell from above.


    Yan Fei was very cautious. He did not fire a naval cannon to destroy the boxes, instead, he controlled the Drone to move away from the area. He watched the boxes fall on the sandy seabed and roll a few times beforeing to a standstill on the ocean floor.


    Yan Fei then breathed a sigh of relief, almost believing he had been exposed, that the boxes contained deepwater bombs intended for him. To his surprise, they were just ordinary boxes. Then, he felt several ships quickly passing overhead. His heart stirred, and he controlled the Drone to ascend rapidly, following those ships from a depth of 5 meters below the surface.


    It was now the dead of night, and the sea surface was pitch dark, the Drone''s underwater pursuit went undetected. It advanced swiftly, soon catching up with the ships ahead. With three vessels on the sea surface, Yan Fei picked one to approach and stayed close, gliding while collecting the sounds emanating from the ship.


    The ship was notrge, and people were speaking loudly on the forward deck. Yan Fei listened in clearly.


    Someone was shouting, "Report to headquarters, the target has fled to international waters, we are pursuing, but their boat is faster, we can''t catch up with them."


    A voice came through what seemed to be a walkie-talkie, "Do not rx, continue the pursuit. Our informant has passed on information that this smuggling boat is carrying two tons of drugs. If they manage to bring this cargo to China, it will destroy countless families. Even though the drug traffickers have not yet entered our territorial waters, they must be apprehended, and the drugs confiscated; we can''t allow them to reach the domestic market."


    The crew reported back, "Captain, the smuggler''s vessel is a speedboat, and our anti-smuggling boat can''t keep up. We are getting further away and might not be able to catch them."


    The voice on the walkie-talkie instructed, "No matter where they go, we must pursue, unless they enter another country''s territorial waters. Don''t worry, I have already made the necessary arrangements, Shanghai will send a helicopter to support you, just hold on a little longer."


    The crew asked, "Aren''t there any navy warships nearby that we can request assistance from?"


    The captain replied, "I have already inquired, there are no navy warships in the vicinity, so we must rely on ourselves. We have been tracking that top drug lord for five years, we can''t let him escape this time."


    The person on the ship dered loudly, "Rest assured, Captain, we will catch up with that boat and apprehend that drug lord."


    Hearing this, Yan Fei realized that the three ships on the sea surface were Shanghai Customs anti-smuggling boats, specialized in capturing smuggled goods and people. Their current target was a speedboat transporting drugs, which also had a long-sought drug lord on board.


    Thinking back to the vessel that sped away above and the boxes that had fallen to the seabed, Yan Fei realized that vessel was the drug-smuggling speedboat. Knowing they were being pursued by the Chinese Anti-smuggling Boat, they had dumped the drugs into the ocean before making a fast getaway, and judging by the tightly sealed packaging, they probably nned to return and retrieve themter.

 Chapter 58 Chapter 46 South Korean Coast Guard

    58 Chapter 46 South Korean Coast Guard


    Yan Fei immediately understood that the speedboat ahead was operated by a drug lord andmanded the Drone to dive and gave chase. A minuteter, the Drone caught up to the speedboat ahead, then began to ascend. Suddenly, someone on the speedboat yelled, "Faster, even faster, the support ship is just ahead."


    Another voice said, "Damn it, how did we bump into a Chinese anti-smuggling boat so coincidentally this time? Boss, I suspect we have a mole. Our movements must have been leaked by them."


    The first voice replied, "Let''s not worry about that now. The shiping to meet us is not far off. Once we get on that support ship, we''ll be safe. We can deal with other issues once we''re back."


    The voice asked again, "The ce where we just dropped the goods in the water, did you mark it properly?" n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Someone responded, "Boss, we''ve marked it. In a few days, we''ll send a boat to search for it, and we''re sure to retrieve the stuff."


    Hearing this, Yan Fei was now certain that this vessel was a smuggling boat transporting drugs and that the items thrown into the sea were their narcotics. Without hesitation, the Drone surfaced one meter above the water, its Vulcan Gun aimed at the drug lord''s speedboat, and then it opened fire.


    The people on the speedboat, already tense from being pursued, suddenly felt the boat shake and heard a tremendous noise from the stern, followed by an explosion and the propeller shattering, stopping it from spinning. The boat, having lost power, began to slow down. Then the hull shook again, and an intense muffled st sounded below the waterline, as if something was destroying the hull from underneath.


    This sudden turn of events caused panic aboard the speedboat. But before they could react, the Drone''s naval cannon punctured the hull below the waterline and torrents of seawater began rushing in; the speedboat began to sink.


    Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar fired its 30-millimeter naval cannon, easily sting the speedboat''s engine and breaching the hull, rendering the speedboat incapable of moving forward. Moreover, due to arge hole in the hull and the influx of seawater, the vessel began to sink.


    Yan Fei, having struck, did not continue his attack, as the speedboat was now incapacitated. The Chinese anti-smuggling boat was catching up from behind, and there was no need to keep attacking the speedboat. After all, there might still be state undercover agents on board, and continuing the attack could lead to casualties. He held deep respect for these agents who infiltrated drug trafficking organizations. Without their sacrifices and contributions, domestic society would be rife with drugs, leading to instability and the destruction of more families.


    The drug traffickers'' speedboat finally sank due to excessive water intake. The crew had no choice but to put on life jackets and jump into the sea. By that time, the Chinese anti-smuggling boat had also caught up and spotted the drug traffickers floating on the sea surface, promptly capturing them all.


    Among the captured criminals was indeed a state undercover agent assigned to the drug organization. Upon revealing his identity, he identified the long-sought head of the drug ring. He reported the narcotics had been dumped into the sea and provided location coordinates. It was believed that a salvage ship dispatched to the location would be able to recover the drugs.


    With this maritime drug battle won resoundingly, all participants were ted. However, they were also confused about what had caused the speedboat to explode and sink. They initially thought it was the work of a Navy submarine, but as no Chinese submarines were found active in the vicinityter, and with the sunken speedboat beyond recovery, this mystery remained unsolved.


    Upon seeing that the drug traffickers had been captured, Yan Fei started to dive the Drone, leaving the territorial waters. When the speedboat sank, the Drone''s Merit Points increased to 87. Previously, the Drone had only 37 Merit Points, but the additional 50 points were earned for sinking the drug lord''s speedboat. The reason for the substantial Merit was that this speedboat was muchrger than the yacht from which Zhang Baocheng had fled before.


    Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar struck again, not only taking out a drug trafficking organization but also gaining 50 Merit Points, marking a sessful first battle. However, after dealing with today''s drug-trafficking speedboat incident, Yan Fei suddenly had a realization; it was getting increasingly difficult for his Drone Avatar to gain Merit Points bybatting domestic criminals, as the state would not allow a weapon of enormous uncontroble power to exist within its borders.


    If Yan Fei repeatedly demonstrated the Drone''s formidable Attack Strength domestically, he would likely attract state surveince. Having learned from his encounters with experts from the Mysterious Organization, Yan Fei grew to maintain a sense of awe towards the state. Every formidable organization has its hard-to-deal with terror experts, and how could such a vast country not possess powerful figures? Should he encounter them, he might suffer a huge downfall.


    The fast-moving young man who had appeared at the Shanghai docks the day Zhang Baocheng was taken down was very likely from a state organization. Even though Yan Fei felt his Strength had greatly increased, he was not confident that he could handle that young man. Thus, he didn''t believe he could act with impunity domestically and had to remain low-profile, not daring to offend the dignity of the state.

    59 Chapter 46 South Korean Coast Guard_2


    Thus, Yan Fei began to entertain an ingenious idea: he wanted to be a chivalrous fighter above the High Seas. This way, he wouldn''t have to run into any conflicts with his own country, and the idea of sinking enemy or criminal organization ships didn''t pose any moral dilemma to him. After all, there were often unfriendly incidents involving other countries'' ships and Chinese fishermen in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea. If he could suddenly appear in those disputes and offer some help to the oppressed fishermen, not only could he earn Merit Points, but he could also satisfy the still indignant youth in his heart.


    The operations at the Food Processing Factory were proceeding methodically under Lu Pingping''s management, and everything was in perfect order. Yan Fei didn''t have anything to worry about; he just needed to produce the Slimming liquid on time and secretly add it into the biscuit ingredients. Everything was developing in a positive direction.


    The Auxiliary Brain was also busy analyzing and deducing new biotechnologies, but unfortunately, there had been no results. With the huge sess of the Weight Loss Cookies, Yan Fei was in no rush; he believed that with time, new breakthroughs woulde.


    A few dayster, Yan Fei was browsing information in his office when an inte video live-stream suddenly caught his attention.


    It was a live-stream from an inte live-streamer on "Dou Mao" who was broadcasting live from the ocean. This live-streamer had gone fishing with his father''s fleet and was live-streaming the fishing process to his viewers. Since few people had the experience of going out to sea for fishing, the live stream of the fishing process was quite popr.


    However, that afternoon, while the fishing live-streamer was chatting withizens live, an unexpected event urred. In the live-streaming video, several foreignw enforcement ships suddenly appeared.


    The ships bore the South Korean g, indicating that they belonged to the South Korean government. As soon as thesew enforcement boats spotted the Chinese Fishing Boat carrying out fishing operations, they gave chase. While pursuing, they warned the fishing boats in both Chinese and Korean to stop advancing and submit to their inspection. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    In the preceding years, because of some ovepping fishing resources on the map between China and South Korea, it wasmon for Chinese Fishing Boats to be detained by South Korean Law Enforcement Boats while fishing in certain waters, only to be released after paying hefty fines.


    Latterly, the state began to take this issue seriously, conducting geographical knowledge training for fishermen heading out to sea and sternly warning the South Korean Law Enforcement. After this, the instances of South Korean Law Enforcement Boats capturing Chinese Fishing Boats grew increasingly infrequent.


    This live-streamer''s father''s fleet also strictly adhered to the newly demarcated fishing zones and did not enter South Korean territorial waters, but they still encountered the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat and received a hail from them. Recalling the past egregious conduct of the South Korean Law Enforcement, fear stoked in everyone''s hearts, and they instinctively began to flee. As the fishing boats turned to flee, the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat gave chase even more aggressively.


    The inte live-streamer began live broadcasting the entire ordeal of the Chinese Fishing Boat trying to escape. Initially, the Audience watching the live stream weren''t too worried; in fact, they found it somewhat novel, as if watching a y. But as the chase escted, the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat actually started firing at the Chinese Fishing Boat; bullets almost hit the live-streaming Anchor. It was then that the Audience began to panic, and people started to call the police, and some even began contacting the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.


    Upon learning that a Chinese Fishing Boat was in distress, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately activated an emergency n andmunicated with South Korea, urging them to cease pursuing the Chinese Fishing Boat and ensure the fishermen''s safety. The South Korean side agreed readily, but in the live-streamer''s footage, the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat behind them didn''t stop the chase; instead, the frequency of gunfire increased. Thus, the incident quickly became a hot news story, reaching the top of the news headlines.


    Yan Fei learned about the news under such circumstances, and seeing the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat firing at the Chinese crewmembers with such impunity, he was filled with righteous fury. He checked the terrain map and discovered that the incident urred only 800 kilometers from Shanghai, while his Drone was under the sea about 100 kilometers away from Shanghai, which was only 700 kilometers from the site of the incident.


    Therefore, Yan Fei quickly activated the Drone. The Drone began to surface, then it slipped away under the cover of the clouds, ascended vertically, and transformed back into its original shape. Yan Fei pulled up the navigation map, located the troubled waters, and the Drone turned its nose, speeding toward that part of the sea at maximum velocity.


    Simrly, to avoid being detected by other forces'' Radar, the Drone still skimmed the sea at an altitude of 5 meters. Of course, if it had continued to travel underwater, the Drone wouldn''t have had to worry about being discovered, but that was 700 kilometers away from the troubled waters, and it would take five hours to travel from the seabed to the location of the incident. By then, it might be toote.


    The Drone''s top speed reached 1000 kilometers/hour, so it would take just over forty minutes to reach the area of the incident.


    On the other side, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs severely questioned South Korea why their enforcement ships were still chasing and shooting at the Chinese Fishing Boat. South Korea responded that due tomunication issues, they were temporarily unable to reach their enforcement vessels, and they hoped China would exercise restraint.


    This excuse almost made the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials curse, "Your South Korean Law Enforcement Boat is chasing our fishing boats for no reason, still firing at our fishing boats non-stop, and you want us to exercise restraint? What kind of Ghost logic is this?" Left without choice, the Chinese Military had to quickly mobilize nearby Warships to rush to the site of the incident.


    However, even the nearest Chinese Warship would take an hour to reach the troubled waters, and it was uncertain whether they would arrive in time. The live footage showed the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat''s gunfire bing increasingly frequent, and the Chinese fishermen could be injured at any moment.


    Yan Fei observed all of this through the live broadcast, and he clenched his teeth in hatred. The South Korean Maritime Law Enforcement Vessels had infamously captured Chinese Fishing Boats without cause for years, extractingrge fines and gaining huge profits. He hadn''t expected them to go even further this time, crossing territorial waters and taking people hostage, practically on the verge of causing fatalities.


    More than forty minutester, Yan Fei''s Drone finally arrived at the scene of the incident. He immediately spotted the Chinese Fishing Boat desperately running on the Sea Surface, riddled with bullet holes from the shooting. Behind them, the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat continued to fire guns while chasing and used the loudspeaker on board to warn the Chinese Fishing Boat to stop and submit to an inspection or else bear the consequences.


    Upon seeing the Chinese Fishing Boat and the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat, the Drone immediately climbed rapidly, reaching an altitude of two hundred meters, preparing to dive for an attack.

 Chapter 60 Chapter 47 The Three Kingdoms Verbal War

    60 Chapter 47 The Three Kingdoms Verbal War


    The drone suddenly ascended, and both the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat and the Chinese Fishing Boat, which were engaged in a chase on the sea surface, spotted the drone.


    The people aboard the Chinese Fishing Boat didn''t pay much attention to military matters and didn''t recognize what kind of aircraft it was, nor did they know which country the aircraft belonged to since it bore no identifiable markings.


    However, the crew of the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat recognized it almost immediately as a Predator Drone from the US Army, a sight they were ustomed to seeing in South Korean Airspace. What puzzled them, though, was why a US military drone would be in this territorial waters and why there were no US military insignias on the aircraft.


    The drone climbed to a higher altitude and began to dive toward the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat. An anti-tank missile suddenly detached from under the wing, ignited midair, and, trailing mes, headed straight toward thew enforcement boat below.


    The South Korean boat, initially surprised by the sudden appearance of the US military drone, found itself under attack as the drone dove at them and then shockingly fired a missile. When they realized their own vessel was the target of the missile attack, the South Koreans were utterly shocked.


    In the South Koreans'' minds, the US Army was naturally their ally, a powerful support they could count on. They believed they would stand together against all enemies, but why was a US drone attacking them today?


    The anti-tank missile arched through the air and hit the lead South Korean Law Enforcement Boat hard. The vessel shook upon impact, then exploded violently. As the ship was torn in two amidst the fiery st, massive amounts of sea water rushed in, and both halves quickly sank to the ocean floor.


    From the moment it was hit, the boat sankpletely in just ten seconds. The brevity of this timespan meant that not a single crew member was able to abandon the ship, and all perished with the vessel beneath the waves.


    The remaining two South Koreanw enforcement boats were left dumbfounded. Even as they witnessed the event with their own eyes, they still couldn''t believe what they were seeing. Surely the US military drone wouldn''t attack them. Could they be seeing things? After all, they had the South Korean g hanging on their ship; they were supposed to be on the same side!


    The drone''s attack, broadcast live by an inte live-streamer, was watched byizens from China who immediately recognized the Predator Drone of the US Army. Just as they were specting whether the sudden appearance of the US drone wouldplicate the situation further, the droneunched an attack on the South Koreanw enforcement boat and struck it down in a single blow.


    Witnessing this unexpected oue, the people from China were just as bewildered as the South Koreans. What exactly was happening? Could the arrogant US military have suddenly developed a conscience and, out of disdain for the South Koreans bullying others, decided to take the stand for justice...


    Yan Fei didn''t demonstrate the drone''s hovering capability, but instead made it execute a turn in the distant sky before flying back. Then, another anti-tank missile under the wing ignited and headed toward another South Koreanw enforcement boat. Through a predictable course of events, that vessel, too, was hit by the anti-tank missile, exploded, took on water, and sank. But having learned from the first boat''s fate, the South Koreans on board prepared themselves and abandoned the ship before the missile could strike, miraculously escaping from the sinkingw enforcement boat. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The thirdw enforcement boat, having seen its two counterparts ruthlessly sunk by the US military drone, was gripped by boundless fear. They quickly attempted to contact their headquarters. Unfortunately, before they could fully report the situation, the dronemenced its third wave of attack.


    An anti-tank missile wasunched once again, striking the finalw enforcement boat and sinking itpletely. Fortunately, the crew, sensing the danger early, jumped into the water ahead of time, sparing themselves a watery grave.


    With that, all three South Koreanw enforcement boats were sunk by the drone. The only sce for the South Koreans was that, apart from the first boat, the crews of the other two vessels were able to escape.


    The entire incident, from the appearance of the drone to the start of the attack and the sinking of thew enforcement boats, was captured by the live-streaming anchor''s camera and was watched live by domestic audiences from beginning to end. The realistic depiction of the war scene left viewers stunned. Before they could even process what had happened, the drone turned and flew eastward, disappearing into the grey sky.


    As for the live audience, still reeling from the profound shock of the attack, the drone lowered its altitude after leaving the camera''s view and flew close to the sea surface. The color of the drone was very simr to the sea water, making it virtually invisible from above.


    Once the drone was a sufficient distance from the incident scene, it hid beneath a dense cloud before nosediving into the ocean, where it proceeded to navigate underwater, changing course to head back to Shanghai.


    Yan Fei''s disappearance immediately raised a tumultuous uproar. When the mysterious drone had first appeared in the territorial waters andunched missile attacks, radars from China, South Korea, the United States, and even Japan to the east had detected it and kept a constant lock. However, after the dronepleted its attack and left the scene, lowering its flight altitude, it mysteriously vanished from radar screens.

 Chapter 61 Chapter 47 The Three Kingdoms Verbal War_2

    61 Chapter 47 The Three Kingdoms Verbal War_2


    ```


    China and the American Military immediately mobilized their satellites in space to carry out a surveince operation over the nearby territorial waters, but because the drone''s body color was highly simr to the color of the sea, they did not discover any trace of the drone. By the time the drone had stealthily entered the ocean hiding beneath white clouds, these countries and organizations were no longer able to detect the drone''s presence. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Consequently, the concerned countries convened their respective military meetings to discuss the identity of this suddenly emerged drone, and what impact its appearance could have on the current situation. The United States appeared most anxious, because the drone was clearly their "Predator Drone," but they could not locate any record of their own drone operations in the ident area. Could it be that their military technology had been leaked...


    Yan Fei was unaware of the chaotic situation caused by the drone avatar. After taking down the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat, he felt extremely refreshed. Not only because he had taught a lesson to the arrogant South Koreans and vented his frustration, but also because this attack earned him 315 Merit Points.


    ording to the Auxiliary Brain''s data, Yan Fei had sunk threew enforcement boats, obtaining 100 Merit Points for each. He also eliminated 15 South Koreanw enforcement officers, gaining 1 Merit Point for each, amounting to 315 Merit Points in total. Adding to his previous Merit Points, the drone''s total had reached 402. Although far from the 10,000 points needed for an upgrade, it gave Yan Fei a glimmer of hope for an upgrade.


    Five hourster, when the drone returned to the waters near Shanghai, Yan Fei realized the incident had stirred up chaos on the inte. Due to the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat''s unwarranted attack on the Chinese Fishing Boat, followed by the drone sinking the South Korean boat, these events had sparked a war of words between the parties involved.


    China strongly condemned South Korea for crossing the border to enforce thew, refusing to correct their actions, and unwarrantedly attacking our fishing boat, nearly causing casualties and property damage to our people. China lodged a stern protest against South Korea. Meanwhile, South Korea maligned the Chinese fishing boat for crossing the border to fish, and imed they had used weapons to attack the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat during their escape, to which South Korea had to retaliate. Then South Korea feebly protested the attacksunched by American forces on theirw enforcement boat.


    The American Military stated that they did not deploy any drones for patrols near the incident area and did not attack the South Korean boat. They emphasized adherence to the US-South Korea alliance treaty and hoped that South Korea would not over-interpret the incident.


    The involved parties were all unclear about the affiliation of the drone. It was evident that China did not possess this kind of unmanned fighter jet, and South Korea had no such aircraft at all, while after a close examination of the live footage from Chinese inte live-streamers, the American side noticed that although the drone resembled their "Predator Drone," it had no markings and seemedrger, making it evident that it was not their drone. Thus, upon seeing the drone, the United States began to worry that their drone''s core secrets had been leaked, prompting an investigation.


    The three parties shouted at each other across the void, condemning and slinging usations, but it was destined that this issue would have no concrete oue. What remained in their minds was a huge question mark: where had that drone finally gone? After all, following the incident, the entire East Asian Waters were under their close surveince, whether it was from space, the sea surface, or the seafloor, but such tight monitoring failed to reveal any trace of the drone. Had the drone crashed in a certain area of the sea?


    What these powers did not expect was that their casual spections were actually the closest to the truth.


    Watching the war of words between several countries, Yan Fei felt triumphant in his heart. A small figure like him had managed to stir up quarrels among three nations, giving him a sense of achievement. But he also felt a sense of crisis, as the daytime deployment of the drone had exposed it to the world, affecting his future actions.


    Although Yan Fei had deliberately controlled the drone to not disy any extraordinary capabilities, he knew that future drone deployments would have to be done with caution and care.


    The war of words subsided after several days, as there were too many hot issues urring in these countries every day, and the drone attack incident gradually settled down. The only one feeling aggrieved was South Korea. In the whole incident, they were the only ones to suffer severe casualties and property losses. Unfortunately, neither China nor the United States was someone they could afford to provoke, so they could only swallow their grievances.


    As Yan Fei had stirred up such a big incident, he did not let the drone strike again for some time, instead, he stayed honestly at the Company, learning from Lu Pingping about managing thepany. During this time, the National Agents Conference was sessfully held, where the agents'' territories and sales tasks were confirmed, and a substantial amount of market security deposits were collected. Through this conference, these agents were tied to Dream Foods'' chariot, forming amunity of shared interests.


    Once the regional agents were confirmed, Dream Foods reduced the sales volume of Weight Loss Cookies at their online Taobao store. With only 500 boxes being sold on the inte store each day, it served as a reminder of the Company''s early startup difficulties.


    The Company''s affairs were thriving, so for the time being, Yan Fei did not have to worry about it. And since nobody from Zhang Baocheng''s Mysterious Organization, the Yamamoto Family of Japan, or the Cangzhou Sun Family hade knocking, it seemed that his information had not been leaked, and he was still safe. With the pressure off, Yan Fei suddenly found himself with free time.


    One day, Yan Fei was watching TV news when the news reported the opening of the Kenya National Museum in Africa, and the TV screen showed some of the museum exhibits.


    Yan Fei was somewhat curious and wanted to pay attention to what the historical relics of this African country were like. Then, among those relics, he spotted a round gear with rust marks. Before he could react, the Auxiliary Brain sent a message: Special item detected, an essential item for Drone Upgrade.


    ```

 Chapter 62 Chapter 48 Heading to Africa

    62 Chapter 48 Heading to Africa


    Yan Fei was shocked; this was the first time the Auxiliary Brain had initiated contact with him. In the past, the Auxiliary Brain would only passively ept hismands andcked the ability to exchange information. This time, it actually took the initiative to send a message¡ªwhat was going on?


    Unfortunately, after sending such a message, the Auxiliary Brain went silent again. Meanwhile, an image of a rusty, circr gear appeared within the Auxiliary Brain''s system.


    This rusty, circr gear looked quite ordinary, with an odd shape like it was aponent of something. But given how rusted it was, the part should have been unusable. Why then was it an essential item for a Drone Upgrade? And how could such a gear, which clearly came from an industrial civilization, end up being unearthed in Kenya and considered a historical artifact there?


    Prior upgrades for the Drone only required umting enough Merit Points and having raw materials nearby; the Drone would then automatically upgrade itself without the need for any specific items. So why would a specific item be needed for the upgrade to Level 4, and why such a rusty gear? Sadly, after transmitting this piece of information, the Auxiliary Brain provided no further details, leaving Yan Fei''s questions unanswered.


    The Drone currently had just over 400 Merit Points, which meant that the next upgrade was still a long way off. Yet, he would eventually have to deal with the upgrade issue¡ªif it genuinely required such a specificponent, what would he do? So after much consideration, Yan Fei decided to go to Kenya to retrieve the rusty gear to be on the safe side; it''s always better to be prepared.


    Having set his target, Yan Fei prepared to travel to Kenya. Of course, he wouldn''t go to Kenya alone; his Drone Avatar would certainly join him. However, Kenya was more than 5,000 kilometers away from Shanghai, beyond the direct control distance of his Drone.


    But a Control Distance of five thousand kilometers still provided Yan Fei with many options. He could have the Drone advance to a point five thousand kilometers away, where it would wait at the edge of its control limit. ording to his analysis using a map, the farthest control distance for his Drone should be in the territorial waters near the Maldives.


    Then Yan Fei could take an airne to Kenya. With only over three thousand kilometers from the Maldives to Kenya, it would be perfectly feasible for Yan Fei to control the Drone while flying to Kenya. As long as he had the Drone nearby, he wouldn''t worry too much about safety issues.


    Thus, Yan Fei informed Lu Pingping of his ns to travel to Africa. He put her in charge of all thepany''s affairs while he prepared his passport to head for Nairobi, Kenya''s capital. Before leaving, he had already directed the Drone to fly at low altitude over the sea surface during the night, leaving Shanghai towards Kenya.


    The Drone needed to fly to Kenya in Africa; naturally, it couldn''t take a route ovend, as radar surveince was everywhere onnd, and human activities could lead to its detection. It had to choose to fly over the sea. To reach Kenya swiftly, the Drone had to skim over the sea''s surface. However, this route meant the Drone had to pass through the South China Sea.


    The South China Sea is vast, but recently the tensions had been high, with both China''s Navy and the US Army operating in the region. Thus, it was easy for the Drone to be detected by several forces'' radar systems. Fortunately, the Drone''s Quantum Radar was outstanding, with a detection range of up to 500 kilometers, allowing the Drone to avoid dangerous areas in advance, without encountering any of these forces.


    Because of this concern, the Drone''s route was somewhat circuitous. Luckily, Yan Fei was fortunate, and despite taking a detour, the Drone''s journey through the South China Sea was uneventful. However, due to the detour, by the time the Drone''s Energy Points were nearly depleted, it had only just reached the Gulf of Thand. Yan Fei had to park the Drone at the bottom of the sea in the Gulf of Thand.


    Then, at midnight the next day, after the data refresh, with Energy Points back to 100%, Yan Fei resumed control and directed the Drone to take off again. To avoid the heavily fortified US military bases in the Strait of a with their powerful detection ability, Yan Fei circumvented the Strait, choosing instead to cross the narrow Kra Isthmus of the Mysia Penins.


    The Kra Isthmus, located within the boundaries of Chumphon and Pattani Provinces in Thand, is the narrowest point in the northern part of the Mysia Penins, with its tightest section being only 56 kilometers wide. At full speed, the Drone could cross this distance in less than six minutes. By spending just six minutes, it could cut down more than a thousand kilometers of travel over the sea.


    It was for this reason that China had long wished to build a grand canal cutting across the Kra Isthmus, linking the two oceans, but this project had always been blocked by other countries, preventing its fruition. As a result, the tiny nation of Singapore controlled a chokepoint and, despite benefiting from China, often acted against China''s interests, causing much resentment among the Chinese people.


    Yan Fei crossed the Kra Isthmus during the localte-night hours, with the Drone carefully flying close to the ground to avoid detection, which cost a bit more time, but ensured it remained invisible to others.


    Once past the Mysia Penins, the Drone lowered its altitude again and flew southwest, skirting the sea surface. When its Energy Points were nearly depleted once again, the Drone finally reached the seas near the Maldives, where it concealed itself below the sea surface.


    At the same time, far away in Shanghai, Yan Fei too boarded a ne, beginning his journey to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. This journey was a long one, spanning over ten thousand kilometers and requiring 13 hours of flight time. But Yan Fei didn''t mind; he passed the time on the ne watching movies and sleeping, which passed quickly.


    Before he realized it, thirteen hours had passed, and the nended at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi; it was now eight o''clock in the morning local time. By the time Yan Fei checked into the hotel that Lu Pingping had booked for him, it was already eleven o''clock in the morning.


    Yan Fei took a rest at the hotel, and in the afternoon, he contacted a local ck guide through the hotel to start a tour around the Nairobi city area. Nairobi is a typical African city with low houses, chaotic traffic, and poor sanitary conditions. However, Chinese signs and logos of Chinese enterprises were omnipresent, indicating that China''s enterprises have developed very well in Africa over the years and have integrated into local society.


    While touring, Yan Fei pretended to tell the ck guide that he saw on TV that the Kenya National Museum had opened, and he wanted to go take a look. Seeing the potential profit in RMB, the guide did not find it a nuisance but eagerly took Yan Fei to the National Museum.


    Although it was called the National Museum, it was actually quite simple, just a three-story ordinary building. The artifacts inside were exceptionally rudimentary tools representing the ancient history of Africa.


    While pretending to observe the museum''s collections, Yan Fei searched for the rusty gear and finally found it on the second floor of the museum.


    Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the rusty gear was still there. However, as he closely observed the gear, he inadvertently noticed that someone was also examining it¡ªa middle-aged Caucasian man with a big beard, whose true appearance was hidden beneath facial hair.


    Seeing the Caucasian man, Yan Fei immediately felt a sense of danger. The man''s greedy look aroused his vignce. The rusty gear was an item he had to obtain, and he did not want others to set their sights on it.


    Yan Fei pretended to admire other items and moved away from the rusty gear, then noticed that even though the Caucasian man had left the disy, his peripheral vision was still fixed on the rusty gear. Yan Fei became even more certain that the man had intentions on the gear. It seemed that not only him but others had also noticed this item through the TV news.


    Yan Fei thought for a while and asked the ck guide to inquire whether the museum''s items were for sale. If he could acquire the rusty gear by purchasing, he would do so by legitimate means, especially since the Caucasian man gave him a dangerous feeling.


    However, the response the ck guide brought back to Yan Fei was disappointing; the museum stated that the collections were national treasures and not for sale, regardless of the offer. Resigned, Yan Fei decided to obtain the rusty gear by his own means. Being far from China, without its constraints, his ideas became wildest.


    To avoid anyplications, Yan Fei decided to act that very night as a cultural relic thief and steal the rusty gear. Topensate for Kenya''s loss, he would just build more hospitals and schools in the areater on. His weight loss cookies were selling like hotcakes, so spending a little money on charity in Kenya didn''t put him under any financial strain. After all, the rusty gear was of no use to Kenya but was essential for him.


    Therefore, Yan Fei kept circling the vicinity of the Kenya Museum, scouting the surrounding terrain,ying the groundwork for the night''s operation.


    But to Yan Fei''s surprise, while he was scoping out the terrain, he also spotted the middle-aged Caucasian man lurking nearby. This man was focusing all his attention on the terrain around the museum and did not notice Yan Fei.


    Yan Fei was shocked and realized he wasn''t the only one with his sights set on the rusty gear, and their methods were simr. So he carefully avoided the Caucasian and returned to his hotel to prepare for the night''s operation.


    At 7 PM, Yan Fei switched his viewpoint to the Drone Avatar, only to find that although the drone was on standby, the data on the virtual screen had not refreshed, with less than five hundred Energy Points remaining. He was taken aback and quickly calcted the time difference, Nairobi being five hours ahead of Shanghai. Even though it was 7 PM locally in Nairobi, it was already midnight in Shanghai. Based on previous experience, the drone data should have been refreshed by now, so why wasn''t there any response?


    Yan Fei was uneasy, and a problem he had always overlooked suddenly dawned on him. The drone data refresh was at midnight, but which location''s midnight was the standard? Shanghai''s? New York''s? London''s? When it''s midnight in Shanghai, it''s only noon the previous day in New York, and 5 PM the previous day in London. So why does the drone data refresh at midnight in Shanghai? Could it be because his physical body was in Shanghai? N?v(el)B\\jnn


    If the drone data refresh followed this principle, then now that he was in Kenya, should the drone data refresh be based on the local time there? It was 7 PM in Nairobi, so did he have to wait another five hours for the drone data to refresh?


    Whilst Yan Fei considered this possibility, he was still not at ease because he had never before encountered a situation where the drone data did not refresh at the appointed time. Regardless, Yan Fei had to act tonight to retrieve the rusty gear, especially since the Caucasian man was also after it. And the man gave him a dangerous feeling; should the item fall into his hands, it likely wouldn''t be easy to recover.

 Chapter 63 Chapter 49: Mutual Schemes

    63 Chapter 49: Mutual Schemes


    ```


    The drone data hadn''t refreshed, and Yan Fei was getting worried, but he could only continue to wait. To alleviate the anxiety brought by the wait, he went online using theputer in his room, beginning to log into domestic websites and look back at the news video of the Kenya Museum opening that had been broadcast before.


    However, something strange happened to Yan Fei. In the yback of that day''s video, he couldn''t find any news about the opening of the Kenya Museum, nor any disys of cultural relics. Instead, there was a news report about unrest in another African country.


    After acquiring the Drone Avatar, Yan Fei''s memory had greatly improved. Basically, anything he had seen was not forgotten, especially since the Auxiliary Brain had for the first time actively passed information to him, still retaining the image of the rusty gear in it. All of this made him even more certain of his memory. There had indeed been news about the Kenya Museum that day, but for some reason, it was reced by someone else.


    Yan Fei started searching the Inte, but aside from himself, no Chinese people seemed interested in the opening of a museum in an African country. He couldn''t find any clues online, and no one else seemed to have noticed the fact that the video''s content had been altered.


    As Yan Fei continued his online search, his anxiety gradually dissipated, but it was reced by an even more serious sense of doubt. However, Yan Fei was at a loss and decided not to think about it any further. He made up his mind that he must get that rusty gear tonight. No matter how the outside world changed, as long as he had that part in his possession, he would be invincible.


    By nine o''clock that evening, the Nairobi sky had finally darkened, the streets lit up with colorful neon lights. Although not bustling, there was a unique exotic charm to it.


    Yan Fei made some arrangements in his hotel room, then requested that the room service staff not disturb or enter his room during this period. Under the influence of RMB, the room service staff assured Yan Fei with big smiles, promising that unless called by him, they would not step into his room.


    After making arrangements, Yan Fei quietly changed into a set of Nairobi''s local attire. His body, having been transformed by mysterious power to eight times its original ability and after practicing some Kung Fu techniques taught by Wang Yong, could now partially control the movement of his muscles.


    Facing the mirror, Yan Fei practiced a few times and then began to control his facial muscles. He caused them to protrude slightly, then had his jaw muscles turn forwards, and finally, after ckening his skin, he transformed into apletely different person.


    Yan Fei put away the motorcycle and began to observe the surroundings. Sure enough, he spotted the middle-aged Caucasian in a hidden spot. But now the Caucasian looked quite different; he wore clothes simr to those of Yan Fei''s, characteristic of the Nairobi style, and his skin was also ckened. He''d also disguised himself much like Yan Fei. Although his makeup skills were not as good as Yan Fei''s ability to control his muscles and change his appearance, they were still very sophisticated. Unless someone was intentionally looking and observing closely, it was impossible to tell that the man was Caucasian.


    It turned out this Caucasian had the same idea as Yan Fei, aiming to steal the rusty gear tonight. However, he hadn''t expected that Yan Fei would discover his trail. This was due to the enhancement of Yan Fei''s vision, which allowed him to spot the Caucasian from afar, whereas the Caucasian, preupied with the museum, had overlooked Yan Fei.


    Seeing that the Caucasian had the same n, Yan Fei felt a surge of urgency. The drone was still near the Maldives'' territorial waters, thousands of kilometers away, and its data hadn''t refreshed yet, leaving several hundred Energy Points insufficient to cover such a vast distance.


    Even if the drone data refreshed after midnight in Nairobi, the drone might not make it in time. If this Caucasian man was going to act now, Yan Fei could only rely on himself.


    But Yan Fei was no longer an ignorant person. After experiencing the series of fights leading to Zhang Baocheng''s death, he had developed great self-confidence. By acting personally, he could aplish tonight''s task. With his n in mind, Yan Fei calmed down, began to monitor the Caucasian man''s movements, but didn''t n to act himself. He intended to wait until the Caucasian stole the item, then engage in a bit of betrayal.


    At half-past eleven at night, all the lights in the museum went out, and the security personnel left, leaving only a few on-duty staff behind.


    Yan Fei and the Caucasian had been waiting nearby all this time. With his wealth of experience and patience, the Caucasian hadn''t shown any signs of activity even after such a long wait. Seeing the security personnel leave, the Caucasian still did not act. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he approached the museum, nimbly avoided the surveince camera at the entrance, and then leaped into the museum building.

    64 Chapter 49 Mutual Calctions_2


    Yan Fei observed from behind and saw the Caucasian man cautiously climbing up the wall to the second floor of the museum and pushing open a window to jump inside. The spot he jumped into was precisely where the rusty gear exhibit was located. This made Yan Fei even more certain that the man''s goal matched his own.


    Yan Fei waited patiently outside and, after just two minutes, the Caucasian man climbed back out the window, now carrying a small backpack. The man carefully avoided the surveince cameras and climbed down the wall. Then he got into a car parked nearby and drove away. Yan Fei quickly mounted his motorcycle and pursued the car. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The streets of Nairobi at night were very empty, and the Caucasian man''s car was moving fast, continuously heading toward the outskirts of the city. Yan Fei had greatly enhanced his control over his body, which made his motorcycle riding skills wlessly exquisite. He kept close behind the car, never falling behind.


    Together, they drove toward the outskirts of the city and after more than ten minutes, they left the city and arrived in the suburbs. Nairobi''s economy was underdeveloped, without enough electricity to supply streetlights along the highways. However, the moonlight was bright that night, allowing Yan Fei to clearly see the car ahead.


    After turning a bend in the road where no other vehicles could be seen, Yan Fei suddenly elerated. His motorcycle began overtaking the car, gradually catching up to it. Just as Yan Fei''s motorcycle was getting parallel to the car, the car''s window rolled down, and a hand with a pistol extended out, aiming at Yan Fei.


    rmed, Yan Fei braked quickly, only to see the pistol fire. Yan Fei''s fast reaction saved him from being hit, as the bullets struck arge tree ahead, sttering its bark. In his urgency, Yan Fei braked so sharply that his motorcycle nearly flipped, but with his absolute control, he managed to steady the motorcycle.


    The Caucasian man, seeing he missed Yan Fei, stretched his arm out the window and fired several shots at Yan Fei behind him. Yan Fei threw his body to the side as the motorcycle slid sideways along the ground, using it as a shield to avoid the bulletsing at him.


    The Caucasian man fired several shots, all blocked by the motorcycle, and, realizing he could not hit Yan Fei, withdrew into his car to focus on driving. The car elerated sharply and quickly sped away from the area.


    Only then did Yan Fei stand up from the ground beside his motorcycle, his face ashen. He had thought himself cautious and careful, not expecting his movements to be detected so early on and nearly falling into a trap. He had always thought his actions were well-hidden, yet he now realized he was stillcking experience and had fallen into someone else''s calctions.


    However, Yan Fei was not discouraged, because at that moment, he felt the Drone Data refresh and the Drone''s Energy Points had returned to full. Checking the time, it was precisely midnight in Nairobi, confirming that the Drone Data refreshed ording to the local time of its base.


    Therefore, Yan Fei activated the Drone. The Drone ascended vertically, leaving the water, and then sped forward at low altitude following Yan Fei''s direction, heading toward Nairobi. The Maldives was only three thousand kilometers away from Nairobi in a straight line, and with open sea all around, the Drone did not need to avoid Radar detection; thus, it could fly at full speed and arrive in Nairobi within three hours. As long as the Drone arrived, Yan Fei felt confident in taking control of the situation.


    The Drone, under the control of the Auxiliary Brain, flew toward Nairobi without requiring Yan Fei''s attention, allowing his physical body to deal with the immediate issues.


    Yan Fei then looked over the edge of the road, discovering a winding mountain highway below, with the car moving downhill. The car made a U-turn at the bend ahead and drove back, returning to the vicinity of Yan Fei''s location, although on a lowerne.


    Yan Fei calcted the distance between him and the road below, stored his motorcycle in the Universal Space, then took a few steps back, steadied himself, and sprinted forward. Reaching the end of the highway, he leaped into the air, soaring, before plummeting down fiercely.


    The car below was speeding along the highway, oblivious to Yan Fei jumping down from above. Yan Fei had calcted the angle well, and his descent was directly in front of the car''s hood. Yan Feinded in front of the car, his hands sped into a hammer-like shape, raised high above, then crashed down onto the car''s engine hood with force.


    With a loud "boom," the front of the car was smashed by Yan Fei''s blow, immediately halting it and causing the front end to dip while both front tires burst due to the tremendous force. The rear of the car, propelled by the inertia, flipped over swiftly, and somersaulted over Yan Fei''s head, crashing onto the road ahead. The upside-down car slid along the ground rapidly, its body scraping against the surface, creating a trail of sparks, before mming against the rocks on the mountainside,ing to a standstill as white smoke billowed from it...


    Yan Fei walked forward and saw the Caucasian man hanging upside down in the driver''s seat, blood-covered and looking gravely injured.


    Yan Fei swung his fist to strike the man''s head, just as the Caucasian man suddenly opened his eyes, deflected Yan Fei''s fist, and quickly unbuckled the seat belt, leaping out from the other side of the car''s hood.


    Yan Fei sneered. ying dead was a trick he had used before, and luckily, Xiao Kong had taught him a lesson. Instead of approaching to check, he struck a potentially fatal blow. If he hadn''t done so, his carelessness might have allowed the Caucasian man tounch a surprise attack and lead to his downfall.


    Yan Fei did not chase the Caucasian man, but instead bent down and flipped the car, trapping the man between the car and the mountainous rocks. Just then, a gunshot rang out. The Caucasian man''s pistol fired, shattering the car''s windshield and sending a bullet flying toward Yan Fei.


    With sharp eyes, Yan Fei had anticipated the man''s gun attack and, observing his movements, dodged the bullet. He then somersaulted and took cover behind the car''s trunk.


    The Caucasian man crawled out through the hole in the windshield, pointing the gun toward the rear of the car, he said, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"


    The man spoke in English. After having knowledge instilled by the Auxiliary Brain, Yan Fei was now fluent in English. He replied, "I''m from the Kenya National Security Bureau. You stole artifacts from the Kenya Museum, and I''m here to catch you."

    Yesterday, I deleted a post from a friend and realized it was from the very patron I was thanking, which I deeply regret. I must apologize here. I truly believe that ''Old Bookworm in Search of Good Books'' is a genuine fan of this book, otherwise, they wouldn''t have supported it with donations. However, could we perhaps have a gentler tone in thements? It would help improve the author''s mood to create, and thus contribute higher-quality work for our brothers and sisters. Later, aftermunicating with this friend, I found them to be quite an interesting character. This turned out to be a case of ''No acquaintance without a fight''!

 Chapter 65 Chapter 50: Burning Flames

    65 Chapter 50: Burning mes


    Hearing what Yan Fei said, the Caucasian man burst intoughter and said, "Kenya National Security Bureau? There is no such department in Kenya. You should''ve done your homework before trying to fool anyone, checking whether such a department even exists."


    Yan Fei felt a bit embarrassed; he had just pretended to be someone from the Kenya National Security Bureau, aiming not to expose his identity and to create a legal pretext for his subsequent actions. He hadn''t expected to blunder by fabricating a nonexistent department and being immediately exposed.


    The Caucasian man continued, "I noticed you at the museum during the day. You have the same goal as me, which is to steal something from the museum. Whether inside the museum or casing the ce outside, your actions haven''t escaped my notice. Because your concealment methods are simply too poor and I''ve been aware of them all along. The reason I didn''t act was to avoid stirring the snake in the grass and causing unnecessaryplications. One thing I have to admit though, your makeup skills are indeed brilliant. You turned an Asian into an African ck person so well that ordinary people can hardly recognize you. But you overlooked one thing, your height and build didn''t change, and I remember you, so I recognized you at a nce."


    Yan Fei was shocked; he never expected his little maneuvers had been detected by someone else, and his disguising skills seen through. He considered himself clever to try an undercover heist without revealing his identity, yet in the eyes of the other, his behavior was asughable as a clown''s. However, he wasn''t discouraged. After all, this was his first solo mission, and it was not surprising that hecked experience. By the age of the Caucasian man, he probably would have gained ample experience and would no longer make such mistakes.


    As the Caucasian man spoke, he moved towards Yan Fei''s direction, but by the time he got to the rear of the vehicle, he found no one there. Yan Fei was gone. The Caucasian man was startled, and suddenly his vision went dark. A figure pounced from above, delivering a flying kick that sent the pistol flying from his hand. Then, the shadowy figure rammed forward, crashing into him and sending him flying.


    As it happened, when Yan Fei saw the Caucasian man approach with a gun, he quietly took out a prepared shuttle attached to a long cord from the Universal Space. He flung the shuttle, which hooked onto arge tree above. With a strong tug, he climbed up the rope to the tree.


    It waste at night, and despite the moonlight, the Caucasian man''s vision was not as sharp as Yan Fei''s. He failed to notice Yan Fei had climbed the tree above. Then, when the Caucasian man moved round to the back, Yan Fei pounced from above, kicking the pistol from his hand and knocking him flying. The attack was as swift as electrical light,pleted before the Caucasian man could react.


    Having struck sessfully, the Caucasian man was sent flying a great distance. But just as Yan Fei was about to give pursuit, he saw the Caucasian man turn and, despite his pain, leap down from a cliff beside the highway. Yan Fei looked over the edge and saw the man deftly climbing down the crags of the cliff face.


    Yan Fei picked up a stone and threw it at the Caucasian man, who nimbly dodged. Stone after stone was hurled by Yan Fei, but the man dodged them all, and in a sh, he''d reached another highway below.


    Yan Fei leaped down the cliff himself. With his superior jumping ability, he descended in a few bounds to the highway below, quickly catching up with the Caucasian man.


    Suddenly the Caucasian man turned and threw something at Yan Fei. With sharp eyes, Yan Fei identified it as an oval hand grenade and kicked it with his foot. The grenade flew back even faster along its original path, striking the Caucasian man squarely. There was a loud "boom" as the grenade exploded violently.


    Yan Fei kicked the grenade away and immediatelyy t on the highway to avoid the st. When the explosion was over, he looked up to find the Caucasian man sprawled on the ground, convulsing. He advanced and saw the man was horribly mutted by the grenade fragments, bleeding profusely as if it cost nothing, but somehow he was not yet dead despite his severe injuries and was unable to move anymore.


    Yan Fei delivered a kick that broke both of the Caucasian man''s legs and arms,pletely depriving him of the power to resist. Then he ripped off the backpack the man was wearing and looked inside, only to find a stone rather than the rusty gear he had imagined.


    The Caucasian man, already close to death''s door, startedughing upon seeing Yan Fei''s surprised expression.


    Yan Fei was furious. He lifted the Caucasian man and demanded, "Why is there a stone in here? Where''s the rusty gear gone?"


    The Caucasian man stoppedughing and said, "If we knew we were being followed, and someone was nning a double-cross, why would we carry the real thing with us?"


    Yan Fei thought for a moment and asked, "I''ve been watching you go into the museum and thene out, without contacting anyone or stopping anywhere in between. You shouldn''t have had the time to switch the contents. So, the real item must still be in the car above."


    The Caucasian man sneered and said, "You really are a greenhorn. Did you seriously think I was acting alone this time?"


    Yan Fei inquired, "You have an aplice?"


    The Caucasian man replied, "Of course, I have a partner. When I stole the item from the museum, I passed the real thing to her, and I took the opposite route to lead you away, to protect her as she carried off the actual target."


    Yan Fei was enraged; the thought that he had been deceived was intolerable. They had swapped the objective within the museum, and he had followed the wrong target, while the real one was taken by someone else. He viciously asked, "Which direction did your aplice go?"


    The Caucasian man didn''t respond to Yan Fei''s question. Instead, heughed heartily a few times, then his head drooped, and he simply died like that.


    Yan Fei checked several times, only to confirm that the Caucasian man was indeed dead and not feigning it. He had been lured away from the real target, now unknown, marking the most significant setback he had experienced in his career so far.


    Yan Fei carefully examined the dead body of the Caucasian man but didn''t find anything useful, let alone the rusted gear. After thinking for a moment, he threw the body off a nearby cliff, then returned to the car above and began a thorough search of the vehicle.


    He still held a sliver of hope that the Caucasian man was deceiving him and had only temporarily hidden the target in the car. However, to his disappointment, even after a meticulous search, the rusted gear was nowhere to be found inside the entire car.


    As Yan Fei pondered how to find the target, a device in the car that resembled amunication device suddenly came to life, and a woman''s voice said, "Sam, I''ve arrived at the destination. How are things on your end?"


    Yan Fei''s mind raced, and he immediately changed his ent, mimicking the voice of Sam who he had just blown up, "Everything went smoothly; I''ve shaken off the target."


    After undergoing three modifications by the Mysterious Power, some amazing functions had emerged within Yan Fei''s body. This ability to control his vocal cords and change his voice was one of them. He had only exchanged a few words with the now deceased Sam and was already able to perfectly imitate his speech. However, not knowing Sam''s speaking habits, he could only be brief and vague in his responses to avoid revealing any ws.


    The woman on the other end seemedpletely unaware of any change in Sam''s voice and continued, "Since you''ve shaken off the target,e and meet up with me!"


    Yan Fei responded vaguely, "Okay!"


    The woman added, "By the way, I have already acquired the target, but I''m worried this contact point isn''t safe, so let''s meet up at NGas Station No. 3 in the southern outskirts of Nairobi!"


    Yan Fei replied, "Okay!"


    With that, the other party stopped talking, and the conversation was over.


    Yan Fei opened his mobile phone and began searching for NGas Station No. 3 in the Nairobi suburbs on the map. Sure enough, it was located more than thirty kilometers in the opposite direction, towards South City. After finding the direction, he once again took out a second-hand motorcycle from the Universal Space and sped off toward his destination.


    Over forty minutester, Yan Fei arrived at NGas Station No. 3. He did not rush forward but hid in the distance and observed silently, noticing a white pickup truck parked inside the gas station with someone sitting inside. As he slowly drove his motorcycle into the gas station, he passed by the pickup truck and saw a young blonde woman in the driver''s seat, who looked bored as she watched the surroundings.


    Yan Fei had a hunch; this was Africa where African ck People were everywhere, and security was not very good. The probability of a blonde woman appearing in the Nairobi suburbs at the dead of night was very low, so this blonde woman was almost certainly the same one he had just spoken with on the phone. Hence, Yan Fei pushed his motorcycle, pretending to go to the gas station for a refill, and slowly approached the pickup truck of the blonde woman.


    Dressed in traditional Nairobi garments and having his skin painted ck, Yan Fei looked like a genuine African under the night sky. As he passed by the blonde woman''s pickup truck, he casually greeted her with a "Hi," to which the blonde, who was preupied with her thoughts, subconsciously replied with a "Hi."


    Then Yan Fei was ecstatic; the sound of her voice upon speaking told him that he had found the right person. This blonde woman was the same one who hadmunicated with Sam, and who was also the aplice who had taken the rusted gear. He had finally found his target.


    Just as Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the blonde woman wink yfully at him and smile sweetly. The car suddenly started and charged toward him.


    Yan Fei was taken aback, stumbling backward, but with the distance too close, he failed to dodgepletely and was struck hard by the pickup, sending him airborne. Yan Fei somersaulted in mid-air, skillfully using the rolls to dissipate the massive impact force, so when he eventually fell to the ground at a distance, it looked clumsy, but his body was unharmed.


    Once he steadied himself, Yan Fei saw the pickup truck reversing quickly, the blonde woman holding a pistol in her left hand and firing at him. Yan Fei hastily dodged, only to realize that the bullets were not aimed at him; they were targeting the gas station''s fuel tanks.


    Yan Fei shuddered and ran outside, only to hear a thunderous explosion behind him. He was then catapulted by the st wave before being engulfed by a wave of intense mes thatpletely swallowed his body.


    The gas station''s fuel storage tank had been hit by a bullet and exploded, starting a raging fire that surged into the sky, so bright it could be seen from the Nairobi city area, even over ten kilometers away.

 Chapter 66 Chapter 51 Unexpected

    66 Chapter 51 Unexpected


    The blonde beauty drove her car slowly, surveying the area around the fire to see if Yan Fei had been killed by the great explosion. As the pickup truck circled to the back side of the ze, she saw the mes oscite and a metal barrel soared into the sky; then, a figure burst out from the inferno.


    This figure rapidly approached the pickup truck, grabbed the door, and with a single pull, tore the door off. Then he seized the blonde woman, attempting to drag her out of the car.


    The figure was none other than Yan Fei, who had known that his trip to Africa was not going to be smooth sailing and had thus prepared arge stock of backup supplies in the Universal Space early on. These supplies included a metal barrel, primarily for fire protection.


    When Yan Fei faced the sudden attack from the blonde beauty, caught in a life-and-death crisis, he snatched the metal barrel from the Universal Space the instant the gas station exploded, tucked himself inside, inverted it on the ground, and ducked the burning mes. To outsiders, it looked like he had been engulfed by the mes and met an untimely death.


    Hiding from the mes in the barrel, Yan Fei''s extraordinary hearing allowed him to detect the sound of a car approaching. He deduced that the truck was nearing him, and so he fiercely counterattacked, bursting out of the fire with the barrel and closing in on the blonde''s pickup truck.


    Yan Fei reached out to grab the blonde''s arm, intending to capture her, but to his surprise, she didn''t panic. Instead, a smile appeared on her face, and then sheunched a punch that hit Yan Fei''s arm squarely as he reached for her. Yan Fei was taken aback, having not expected his lightning-fast punch to be blocked. He then felt a huge force emanating from the blonde''s fist, propelling him uncontrobly backward for five or six meters before he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.


    Greatly astonished, Yan Fei couldn''t believe what had happened. After the third transformation by the Mysterious Power, his strength had be unbelievably formidable. Yet, it seemed this delicate-looking blonde possessed strength that might surpass his. On their first collision of power, Yan Fei waspletely overmatched.


    The blonde jumped out of the vehicle, storming towards Yan Fei with such earth-shattering force that she resembled a prehistoric beast suddenly appearing, terrifying in her ferocity. Watching her smaller frame yet witnessing her powerful momentum, Yan Fei couldn''t help feeling an intense dissonance. He simply couldn''t understand how such a petite body could harness such colossal strength.


    But Yan Fei was not one to show weakness either. He hadn''t used his full strength just now and didn''t concede that his might was less than that of the blonde. He elerated towards her, and then their shoulders crashed into each other with a thunderous "bang."


    20:25


    Upon the collision, the blonde''s body swayed slightly before she steadied herself. Conversely, Yan Fei''s body flew backward as if hit by a truck.


    Afternding, Yan Fei rolled on the ground and quickly stood up, inwardly shocked. He truly found himself outmatched in strength by the blonde, a concept that seemed inconceivable. Why did the blonde woman have such tremendous strength?


    Watching the astonished Yan Fei, the blonde yfully asked, "Are you curious why I set up an ambush for you here?"


    Rubbing his shoulder and stretching his body, Yan Fei replied, "It must have been because when I impersonated Sam on the call, I didn''t use his usual passcode, so you saw through it. You turned the tables on me, luring me here to eliminate me and avenge Sam."


    The blonde pped her hands and said, "Correct, quite impressive indeed. You guessed it right away. Are all you Chinese people really so clever? I realized it was an impersonation when I didn''t hear the passcode that Sam always says when we talk. Since you dared to pretend to be Sam, that likely means Sam has met with some misfortune, and naturally, I want to kill you to avenge him. However, I must say, your impersonation was quite good! If I hadn''t been trained, I wouldn''t have been able to tell your voice was any different from Sam''s."


    Earlier, by greeting the blonde and listening to her voice, Yan Fei confirmed that she was the aplice of the Caucasian man Sam. Unexpectedly, the blonde had also used cunning strategy, detecting the w in the greeting andunching an attack on him. Knowing he had been exposed, Yan Fei no longer pretended, saying, "The item you''re carrying on your back must be the rusted gear stolen from the Museum by Sam, right?"


    The blonde took the backpack she was carrying off her back, slowly opened it, and inside was indeed the rusted gear that Yan Fei was after. She showed Yan Fei the gear, then packed the backpack again, shouldered it, and said, "You want this item, I want to kill you. I can stand here and wait for you to take this item from me; my intention is to kill you. As to who achieves their goal in the end, we will let our respective strength do the talking. If you dare to flee, I will immediately destroy this thing."


    Yan Fei had a headache. After discovering the blonde''s formidable strength, he wanted to temporarily back off, then stealthily follow her, waiting for the drone to arrive and use it to kill her. No matter how formidable the woman was, she was no match for the drone. But he hadn''t expected the blonde to not grant him the opportunity and instead choose to have a death match with him right there and then. In the end, either Yan Fei would get the rusted gear, or he would be killed by the blonde.


    Yan Fei couldn''t afford to give up the rusted gear, as it was an essential part for the Drone Upgrade. But he also didn''t want to die, so he could only exert his full strength to eliminate this powerful woman.


    Seeing that Yan Fei remained silent and didn''t choose to leave, the blonde revealed a satisfied smile. She kicked off from the ground and charged at Yan Fei, aiming a punch straight at his chest.


    Yan Fei blocked with his hands in front of his chest. When the blonde''s punch struck his hands, he was sent flying a great distance,nding with a stagger and feeling a numbness throughout his body.


    Yan Fei rubbed his body quickly, and his formidable recovery abilities soon had him ready to move again. The blonde, seeing Yan Fei unharmed again, showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, preparing to attack him once more. But suddenly, Yan Fei turned and ran towards the wilderness hillside. The blonde, taken aback, didn''t dare to destroy the item on her back and, abandoning the pickup truck, gave chase after Yan Fei.


    Yan Fei had just figured out the crux of the matter. Since the blonde beauty hade to steal the rusty gear, it must be of use to her too, so why would she destroy it so easily? Her threat to destroy the gear to force him into a death match was just a ploy to kill him with her strength. Given the current bnce of power, Yan Fei stood an eight or nine out of ten chance of losing if he tangled with the woman, and he might even risk his life. Then what would be the point of obtaining the rusty gear for himself?


    Realizing the key issue, Yan Fei turned and fled. And sure enough, under Yan Fei''s provocation, the woman did not destroy the rusty part but chased after him.


    Yan Fei was not as strong as the blonde woman, but he was slightly faster. So when he turned to run, the blonde woman couldn''t catch up with him for a while. The two raced across the night sky, but the distance between them grew further and further.


    The blonde woman, unable to catch up with Yan Fei, suddenly kicked up a huge stone from the ground. The stone, weighing at least a hundred pounds, flew toward Yan Fei. Startled, Yan Fei dodged repeatedly as the boulder hit the ground and kicked up a cloud of smoke.


    But that dodge slowed Yan Fei down, and the blonde woman quickly caught up, closing the distance between them.


    Yan Fei was shocked and prepared to speed up his run, but another boulder came flying from behind. He dodged again, and his running speed was once more affected, bringing the woman even closer. After a few such exchanges, the distance between them was rmingly close.


    Then the blonde woman caught up to Yan Fei and grasped his arm, ready to pull it off forcefully. Yan Fei responded with a headbutt backward, striking the blonde woman squarely in the chest. The blonde woman grunted, quickly retracted her hand that had grabbed Yan Fei''s arm, and pped his back with a fierce palm. Yan Fei flew a distance away, rolled uponnding, got up, and continued running, but his pace was now more disordered,cking the agility he had before.


    The blonde woman, having been struck by Yan Fei''s headbutt, also felt a heaviness in her chest and sustained injuries. But seeing Yan Fei''s unsteady footing up ahead, she rejoiced and quickly pursued him again.


    The two of them, one fleeing and the other chasing, asionally shed, each time leaving both Yan Fei and the blonde woman worse for wear, with Yan Fei sustaining more severe injuries. However, Yan Fei''s recovery ability was astonishing; despite repeated injuries, his speed did not wane thanks to his rapid healing ability.


    The blonde woman was also injured several times, but since her strength surpassed Yan Fei''s, she kept a tight chase but couldn''t catch up to him. There was always a distance between her and Yan Fei.


    In this way, the two fled quickly to the south. More than an hourter, they had left Nairobi far behind and arrived at the border between Kenya and Tanzania, with the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa''s highest peak, in the distance.


    Yan Fei, who had previously pretended to be a tourist in Kenya, had also browsed Kenyan tourist attractions online and naturally recognized the snow-capped mountain range ahead. Little did he know that their relentless running had brought them to the foot of Africa''s highest peak.


    By this time, Yan Fei was seriously injured while the blonde woman behind him was also hurt, but not as severely. So she continued to chase after him doggedly, vowing to kill Yan Fei and avenge Sam.


    Yan Fei gritted his teeth, suppressing his injuries, and ran towards the summit of Kilimanjaro, with the blonde woman in relentless pursuit.


    After more than an hour of running and continual injuries, Yan Fei''s stamina had already begun to falter. But just when he thought he couldn''t go on any longer, his body''s mysterious power unleashed, somehow rapidly restoring his vitality.


    The blonde woman, frustrated from the prolonged chase, let out a roar and hurled arge stone at Yan Fei.


    Yan Fei narrowly dodged, only to realize the real target was not him but a loosened boulder halfway up the slope. Therge rock, upon impact from the stone, suddenly came loose and began to roll down the mountain, directly in Yan Fei''s path.


    With a giant stone ahead and a pursuer behind, Yan Fei did not panic. He suddenly leaped, soaring high, and jumped off the cliff beside him.

 Chapter 67 Chapter 52: Turning the Tables

    67 Chapter 52: Turning the Tables


    Seeing Yan Fei leap off the cliff, the blonde beauty was startled and rushed to look, only to see that below the cliff Yan Fei was pulling on a vine and swinging away like a monkey. It turned out that in the nick of time, Yan Fei had spotted the vines by the side of the cliff, and immediately jumped down to swing away.


    The blonde beauty jumped, following him off the cliff. She caught another vine and swung in Yan Fei''s direction. Just as Yan Fei was feeling relieved, he saw the blonde beauty was actually following him and immediately let go of the vine, somersaulted forward, grabbed another vine ahead, and continued to fly forward.


    Yan Fei felt somewhat helpless in his heart, as this blonde beauty was too hard to shake off. He couldn''t beat her nor escape from her, which was extremely frustrating. His Drone Avatar was rushing toward this location, but even so, it would take some time for the drone to arrive. He was confident that as soon as the drone arrived, he could kill the blonde beauty. However, in the time before that, he would be in great danger.


    Just as Yan Fei was switching vines for the eighth time, he saw the blonde beauty suddenly release her vine, jump high into the air with limbs spread, gliding against the wind, and then flew over the vine above Yan Fei''s head. As she flew over Yan Fei''s head, a sh of cold light from her hand caused Yan Fei to suddenly feel his grip loosening and, without anything to leverage, his body began to plummet into the abyss below.


    It turned out that the blonde beauty had unleashed a surprise tactic and finally caught up with Yan Fei. At the right moment, she used a dagger that had appeared in her hand to cut Yan Fei''s vine, leaving him without anything to hold onto and dropping straight down. She continued to glide forward, caught another vine, swung a few times, then stopped and looked down.


    As Yan Fei fell through the air, he wasn''t panicked. The more dangerous the situation, the more he needed to stay calm. Only withposure could there be a chance of surviving from death, and panic could cause a missed opportunity, leading to a final downfall.


    Falling rapidly and in a state of weightlessness, Yan Fei''s body was trained to the point of being just a step away from the Acquired Peak level, so he was still able to maneuver freely in the air. He looked around for any life force. Then he noticed a huge tree growing on the cliff below him to the side, its branches and leaves lush, resembling an open umbre that covered a vast space.


    Yan Fei was overjoyed. He did several flips in mid-air and managed to close the distance to the tree. Ultimately, he approached the huge tree, grabbed a vine that hung down from it, swung forcefully, and thennded steadily on the tree.


    Yan Fei stood on the trunk of the tree, his heart racing, his back breaking out in a cold sweat, feeling waves of after-fear. His entire escape process was extremely perilous. Any negligence or error in any step could have resulted in a gruesome death. Fortunately, hardened by many battles and close encounters with death, his mental strength was tremendous, enabling him to find a way to survive in what seemed like certain death.


    The blonde beauty in the sky initially thought Yan Fei was done for, but to her disbelief, Yan Fei miraculously survived and escaped death. Thus, without any hesitation, she released her hold on the vine and fell toward the big tree below.


    As Yan Fei was feeling lucky, he saw the blonde beauty from above continuing her pursuit, which made him extremely angry. This woman was insane. Even now, she still wanted to kill him. Could it be that she was Sam''s mistress and was so determined to avenge him by killing him?


    However, this was an excellent opportunity for Yan Fei. He casually broke off a thick branch from the tree, intending to swipe it at the blonde beauty falling through the air.


    But just then, a strong wind picked up behind him. Surprised, Yan Fei swept the branch backward, only to be met with a powerful force. His branch was knocked away, and he stumbled several steps before managing to steady himself, nearly falling into the abyss. He turned to look and saw a massive gori standing on the branch behind him, furiously pounding its chest with an angry roar, its blood-red eyes locked on Yan Fei.


    Being stared down by a huge gori, Yan Fei didn''t dare move a muscle, fearing that any sudden movement would provoke a violent attack from the gori.


    Just then, the blonde beauty happened tond on the big tree, but before she could steady herself, a thunderous roar sounded, and a giant hand emerged from the darkness, pping toward her. The blonde beauty was too slow to dodge and was struck by the hand, screaming as she hit the cliff, then fell back onto the tree, lying motionless on a branch.


    Yan Fei''s eyelids twitched as he saw another huge chimpanzee emerge from the darkness of the tree. This chimpanzee had sneakily attacked the blonde beauty as she was falling, leaving her possibly dead or unconscious. But the chimpanzee in front of him was no small challenge either; it red at Yan Fei with malicious intent, slowly approaching him.


    As Yan Fei braced himself for a life-or-death struggle with this chimpanzee, the blonde beauty, who had been lying motionlessly on the tree, suddenly sprang up, a cold light shing in her hand. She shed the neck of the attacking chimpanzee.


    The blonde beauty''s strike severely injured the chimpanzee. It clutched its throat, making a wailing sound of agony. The chimpanzee in front of Yan Fei was shocked and immediately abandoned its pursuit of Yan Fei, rushing toward its gravely wounded counterpart.


    ```


    The severely injured chimpanzee quickly lost the light in its eyes. Its body went limp on the branch and then slid off, plummeting into the abyss below. The pursuing chimpanzee saw itspanion fall off the cliff and was instantly enraged. With a furious roar, it beat its chest with both hands and then pounced on the golden-haired woman, swatting at her with a heavy palm.


    The golden-haired woman had been seriously injured in the previous attack by the chimpanzee. Although she unleashed her full strength and killed one, her stamina was rapidly failing. Now pressed by this chimpanzee, she couldn''t dodge in time. She was struck by the massive palm, let out a sharp scream, and was sent flying far away.


    Just as the chimpanzee moved forward to chase, intent on delivering a fatal blow to the golden-haired woman, a dazzling sh of light burst into the dark night sky, like a sudden appearance of the sun. The chimpanzee''s eyes were instantly blinded by the sh, and it could no longer locate the golden-haired woman. She swiftly approached the blinded chimpanzee and drew her dagger across its throat, instantly severing its windpipe and terminating the second chimpanzee.


    The golden-haired woman had used the only item she had at the critical moment¡ªa sh grenade. The chimpanzee, consumed with rage and focusing on the woman, was caught off guard by the sh grenade and was instantly blinded, easily having its throat shed by the golden-haired woman.


    Yan Fei, perched on a distant tree trunk with his excellent eyesight, sensed trouble when he saw the golden-haired woman throw something. He quickly ducked, fortuitously avoiding the sh grenade''s assault.


    The golden-haired woman, with her heroic strength, had killed another chimpanzee, but she was injured again, leaving her with less than ten percent of her strength. When she saw Yan Fei standing up and looking at her, she was startled, suddenly remembering that she was now severely injured and no longer a match for Yan Fei. She made a split-second decision, leaped from the tree, and swung away using the vines hanging from it.


    Yan Fei still wanted the rusty gear from the golden-haired woman. Now noticing the reversal of strength, he instantly set off in pursuit, but then he heard strange noises from below the tree. He hesitated, looked down, and saw a small ck figure trembling slightly through the cracks between the tree branches, whimpering. Upon a closer look, he realized it was a young chimpanzee.


    Yan Fei observed and discovered that there was a rudimentary treehouse in the tree, which, ording to its size, belonged to the chimpanzees. The two chimpanzees that had just died were surely the owners of this treehouse, and the young chimpanzee must be their child.


    Yan Fei and the golden-haired woman had unwittingly invaded the chimpanzee''s territory, which was why they had been attacked by the chimpanzees. But what the chimpanzees hadn''t anticipated was that neither Yan Fei nor the golden-haired woman were ordinary humans¡ªthey had hoped to eliminate these invaders but ended up dying by the hands of the golden-haired woman''s dagger.


    The young chimpanzee had surely witnessed its parents being killed by the golden-haired woman, thus its sorrowful whimpering.


    Yan Fei, seeing the young chimpanzee, felt it was extremely pitiable. Although its parents had died by the hands of the golden-haired woman, it was because he had intruded into their nest¡ªthey were simply defending themselves. Moreover, the two chimpanzees had managed to injure the golden-haired woman and caused her to flee, giving him a chance to turn the tables, so in a way, the two chimpanzees had done him a favor.


    So upon seeing the young chimpanzee, Yan Fei felt a surge ofpassion and couldn''t bear to leave it alone here. The young chimpanzee seemed very small, probably not yet weaned. If he didn''t take care of it, leaving it here alone, it would undoubtedly die.


    Therefore, Yan Fei took out a backpack from the Universal Space, picked up the young chimpanzee, ced it inside with only its head poking out, and descended the tree using the vines, following the direction in which the golden-haired woman had disappeared.


    Yan Fei could see far ahead in the dark night, having already locked onto the direction the golden-haired woman had taken. He grasped a vine and pursued. Before long, he spotted the silhouette of the golden-haired woman on arge tree halfway up the mountain. She was crouching there, tearing off pieces of her clothing to bandage her wounds¡ªit seemed her injuries from the chimpanzee attack were not light.


    The moment the golden-haired woman saw Yan Fei following her, she immediately stood up, grabbed the vines nearby, and swung forward, fleeing. Yan Fei hurriedly gave chase.


    Thus, the situation had reversed; Yan Fei, who was originally the prey, now pursued the golden-haired woman, who had been the hunter. Yan Fei''s incredible physical recovery allowed his strength to replenish rapidly, while the golden-haired woman, heavily injured and rapidly depleting her stamina, had no means of quick recovery. Her strength had significantly dropped, and she was no longer a match for Yan Fei.


    Seeing Yan Fei closing in, the golden-haired woman, realizing escape was futile, no longer fled. She stood still, turning back to look at Yan Fei.


    Yan Fei caught up with the golden-haired woman and, without further ado, prepared tounch an attack. Then he noticed a mysterious smile on her lips, a feeling of extreme danger suddenly rising in his heart. Then came the thunderous roar from the sky, as a Fighter Jet appeared above the mountaintop and began a dive towards him.

 Chapter 68 Chapter 53: First Battle Victory

    68 Chapter 53: First Battle Victory


    Yan Fei was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the fighter jet. He then saw the jet dive toward him, a tail me suddenly emerging from its belly, and a streak of fireing straight at him. He immediately realized that the fighter jet hadunched a missile attack on him.


    All this time, it had been Yan Fei who controlled drones tounch missile attacks on others. He never thought the tables would turn and that he would face this situation himself. The iing missile was incredibly fast. Even though it flew in a circle in the air, it was locked firmly on Yan Fei and rushed toward his direction at high speed.


    Yan Fei knew the power of missiles. Although he was strong, he was frighteningly weak in the face of a missile attack and unable to withstand it. He quickly surveyed his surroundings and resolutely let the blonde woman go; he then leaned back and jumped off therge tree, plummeting headfirst toward the ground below at great speed.


    The missile flew past the big tree above, and as expected, did not attack the blonde woman standing there. Instead, it chased after Yan Fei, who was descending rapidly¡ªit was about to catch up with him.


    At that moment, Yan Fei quickly passed through arge tree growing on the cliff below. Although he was scratched all over by the branches, he managed to get through the tree and continued to fall downwards.


    The missile, chasing Yan Fei and too close to avoid therge tree, struck the branches and exploded,pletely destroying therge tree with the tremendous force of the st. The impact then spread downward, hitting Yan Fei and making him fall even faster.


    Yan Fei swiftly assessed the environment and, through precise calction, used therge tree to block the missile attack, narrowly escaping disaster. However, Yan Fei was still in a very difficult situation, remaining in danger.


    Seeing the first missile evaded by Yan Fei, the fighter jetunched another missile. This missile flew toward Yan Fei and seemed to be on the verge of hitting him. As he continued to fall rapidly, his speed increasing, Yan Fei suddenly somersaulted and grabbed a nearby vine, swinging away. The missile, unable to dodge in time, hit the nearby cliffside and exploded, creating arge hole in it.


    As the vine swung back, Yan Fei released his grip and jumped into the hole just created by the missile. This hole didn''t exist before; it was made by the missile explosion and now conveniently provided Yan Fei a ce to hide.


    Yan Fei had just made out his attacker: the fighter jet was the very familiar F-16, painted with the United States Air Force insignia, indicating it belonged to the US Air Force. He had no quarrel with the US Army, so why were they attacking him? Could it be that the blonde woman was associated with the US Army and she had called in the F-16 fighter?


    The US Air Force F-16, having failed to hit Yan Fei with two missiles, was preparing to fire again. But Yan Fei cleverly hid in the cave, out of the F-16''s reach. The cave was pitch dark and seemingly vast; randomly firing missiles wouldn''t necessarily harm Yan Fei and would only waste the F-16''s ammunition.


    So, Yan Fei hid in the cave, observing the situation outside. He saw the US Air Force F-16 circling, notunching any more missiles. Five minutester, loud roars rang out again as three mammoth Chinook transport helicopters appeared atop the mountain and moved toward the blonde woman''s location, hovering above her.


    The doors of the Chinook transport helicopters swung open, and ropes were lowered. Fully armed US military soldiers began fast-roping down. Soon after, over a hundred soldiers from the three Chinooks had allnded.


    This US Army unit swiftly assembled, then located the blonde woman in the tree. The Americanmander saluted her respectfully, and she returned the gesture, before they exchanged a few words.


    They appeared to have some disagreements, but finally, themanderplied with the blonde woman''s wishes. He signaled his troops, who then spread out and began scouring the slope below. It seemed they aimed to find Yan Fei, either to kill him or capture him. Meanwhile, the Chinook transport helicopters did notnd but continued to hover overhead without leaving.


    Suddenly, Yan Fei''s situation worsened dramatically. An F-16 from the US Air Force was circling in the sky; if he showed his face, he''d be under missile fire. On the ground, arge US Army force had arrived; these military soldiers, heavily armed, started searching for Yan Fei. Should they find him, it was certain they would attack.


    Although Yan Fei was formidable, he couldn''t disregard attacks from firearms. So if the US military soldiers found Yan Fei, he would be in big trouble.


    What angered Yan Fei the most was that the blonde woman, having gained a breather, began to heal from her wounds and once again joined the search for him. With her present, many of Yan Fei''s tactics would fail.


    Yan Fei was hidden within the cave, which had been carved out by an F-16 missile. Although the interior space was vast and pitch-ck, with depths unseen, he could vaguely discern that there were many other caverns inside. It seemed this had been a natural cave all along, only undiscovered due to a thinyer of rock, now exposed to daylight thanks to the missile''s st.


    The present circumstances were unfavorable for Yan Fei, constantly putting his life at risk. Although his instinct was to escape through these caves, whose destinations were unknown, a determined expression crossed his face, and he did not choose to flee through the caverns.


    Yan Fei took off the backpack he was carrying and gently set the little chimpanzee on the ground. The chimp had been incredibly lucky, as it was unharmed despite the hectic escape through the woods. Only the rapid descent had frightened it.


    Yan Fei opened Universal Space and took out some food, which he ced in front of the chimpanzee. He unwrapped the food and said, "Little chimpanzee, I''m really sorry that your parents were killed. I should have taken care of you, but I still have very important things to do right now, so I can only leave you here for the time being, as this is the safest ce for now. If everything goes well, I wille back to find you after I finish my tasks."


    The chimpanzee looked at Yan Fei, then at the pile of food on the ground, uttering yi yi ya ya noises, but sadly Yan Fei couldn''t understand animalnguage and didn''t know what it was trying to say. He could only pat the chimpanzee''s head tofort it and then prepared to leave the cave.


    The F-16 fighters were still patrolling the sky, and the US Army forces on the ground were about to approach the cave where Yan Fei was. At that moment, another F-16 fighter suddenly appeared in the sky. The two fighter jets joined up to form a two-ne formation, providing air support for the US military soldiers'' operation below.


    Two minutester, a peculiar-looking airne suddenly appeared at a distant mountaintop. Although the airne was flying close to the mountaintop, it was immediately detected by the radar of the US Army''s F-16 fighter, and then the pilot of the fighter jet also spotted the strange airne with the naked eye.


    The pilot of the fighter jet that hadunched the attack spoke over themunication channel, "Carl, do you see the ne ahead?"


    Carl, the pilot in the following F-16 fighter, replied, "Jerry, I see it. It looks very much like our ''Predator Drone,'' but why isn''t there any paint on it?"


    The previous pilot, Jerry, said, "This is basically a Predator Drone! Who knows why it doesn''t have any paint? Maybe it''s one of our Special Forces executing a special mission here. They probably don''t want to reveal their identities in order to keep it a secret."


    Carl retorted, "As long as you''re not blind, you can tell it''s ours from the shape. They still want to conceal their identity? That''s really hiding one''s head and exposing one''s tail."


    Jerry said, "Let''s not worry about it. Let''splete our task for today and report this to our superiors after we get back. Let them decide what to do."


    As the two pilots were casually chatting, they saw the "Predator Drone" rapidly approaching them. Very quickly, the Predator Drone closed the distance between itself and the F-16 leading by Jerry to just two kilometers.


    Jerry became suspicious and immediately tried to contact the other party via the military channel, but there was no response at all. Jerry and Carl started to feel uneasy, and then saw the drone''s belly sh with fire, unexpectedlyunching two air-to-air missiles, each targeting one of the F-16 fighters.


    As the piercing rm from the onboard radar sounded, Jerry and Carl were taken aback and instinctively performed evasive maneuvers.


    At this critical moment, Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar finally arrived. Its "Predator Drone" appearance sessfully deceived the US Army pilots, and under theircency, it advanced close to them andunched a missile attack on the two F-16 fighters.


    Guided by Quantum Radar, the two air-to-air missiles attacked the F-16 fighters. While the F-16s were trying to evade and deploy decoy res to distract the missiles, they didn''t expect that the drone was equipped with what could be called ''ck technology'' Quantum Radar. The decoy res failed to function under the radar''s lock, and the missiles bypassed the res'' temptation, streaking towards their true targets.


    The missilesunched by the drone were AIM-92s, which are the airunched models of the notorious Stinger missiles. They have a maximum flight speed of Mach 2.2, with a maximum attack range of 10 kilometers.


    Jerry''s fighter jet was less than two kilometers away from the drone and, at such a short distance, he couldn''t elerate his fighter to its maximum speed of 2.5 Mach. Therefore, he was unable to evade the AIM-92 missile attack that reached a top speed of 2.2 Mach.


    The AIM-92 missile breached the decoy res'' deception and flew toward its true target. A sh of fire burst in the sky as Jerry''s F-16 was hit by the missile, exploding mid-air. In shock, Jerry didn''t even have time to eject before he and his F-16 were obliterated.

 Chapter 69 Chapter 54: Sky Battle

    69 Chapter 54: Sky Battle


    The drone''s first airbat resulted in the destruction of an F-16 fighter of the US Army, marking a sessful debut and bolstering Yan Fei''s confidence.


    Carl''s F-16 fighter was 6 kilometers away from the drone when he discovered the missile and began to elerate to escape. Although his fighter''s flight speed did not reach the maximum of 2.5 Mach, it was only slightly slower than the AIM-92 missile''s 2.2 Mach. The AIM-92 missile could not catch up with the F-16 fighter in a short time, and the F-16 quickly moved beyond a distance of 10 kilometers.


    The maximum attack range of the drone''s AIM-92 air-to-air missile was only 10 kilometers. Therefore, once the F-16 flew out of the maximum attack range, the AIM-92 air-to-air missile chasing the F-16 fighter self-destructed in midair.


    From the sudden appearance of Yan Fei''s drone avatar, to the surprise attack on the two F-16 fighters, to the downing of one F-16 fighter and the escape of the other F-16 fighter, it all happened within a minute or two. The American army watching from the ground was immediately stunned. They never expected their own drones to attack their fighters. Had the drones been infected with a virus, unable to distinguish friend from foe? Would they start attacking themselves? n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Under Yan Fei''s control, the drone swiftly took out an enemy ne and scared off another, achieving a significant victory. Taking advantage of the shock amongst the various forces, Yan Fei raised the drone''s altitude and flew towards the Chinook transport helicopter hovering above the blonde woman''s head. The three Chinook helicopters were circling at low altitude and were scared out of their wits when they noticed the drone approaching, ready to speed away.


    Yan Feiunched two more air-to-air missiles, locking onto two of the Chinook helicopters. Although the Chinooks had the advantage of strong transport capability, their essence was still that of transport helicopters with nobat power, unable to dodge the drone''s missile attack. Suddenly, two sparks lit up in the night sky as two Chinook helicopters were hit by missiles and exploded, with no chance for the pilots inside to escape.


    The remaining Chinook helicopter fled early. As soon as things went south, it took off at full speed, leaving the battlefield behind. Yan Fei watched the Chinook helicopter escape but did not pursue or continue the attack. Instead, he began to hover over the American army''s position.


    The F-16 fighter that had fled was still in shock, but Carl felt relieved when he saw the droneunch four missiles. As a US Army pilot, he was intimately familiar with the data of various fighter jets worldwide, especially the US Army''s Predator drone. He was well aware that the Predator drone could only carry four missiles. Aside from the missiles, the Predator had no other weapons. The drone did not pursue the fleeing Chinook because it had exhausted its ammunition and could no longer attack, like a tiger without teeth.


    It was this deep-rooted belief that led the pilot named Carl to fly back in his F-16 fighter. Being scared away earlier by the drone had been embarrassing. Traditionally, in aerial conflicts between manned fighter jets and drones, drones were always on the losing side, with no precedent of a drone downing a manned fighter. And yet, his friend Jerry''s fighter had just been taken down by this drone, Jerry didn''t even have a chance to eject and survive, while he himself had been terrified into fleeing far away, losing facepletely.


    Now that he realized the drone had run out of ammunition, Carl aggressively returned in his F-16, intent on attacking the drone with missiles. Not only was this to avenge his friend, but also to cover up his own ipetence, to avoid bing aughingstock among his peers. As for potentially injuring any friendly forces, Carl, who was eager for revenge, was no longer considering it.


    Yan Fei let thest helicopter go without attacking to create the illusion that he was out of missiles, luring the fleeing F-16 to fly back on its own. He couldn''t catch the F-16 himself since he was slower, and even the missiles could not reach the F-16''s top speed. Therefore, once the F-16 got away, he was powerless against it.


    If the F-16 did not flee and instead lingered in the distance, meddling in Yan Fei''s subsequent actions, it would have been a significant problem. Thus, he devised a strategy, deliberately leaving vulnerabilities to entice the F-16 into a trap.


    Indeed, the F-16 fell for it. It recklessly flew back, closing to within 2 kilometers of the drone, beforeunching an air-to-air missile at the drone. The drone, as if stunned, made no evasive maneuvers; instead, its wing-mounted weapons rack moved, and two more air-to-air missilesunched towards the F-16.


    Carl was shocked to see the droneunch missiles; he was unaware that it still had any left. He quickly turned around, eager to leave the dangerous area. He hade close to the drone for a precise attack, not expecting to put himself in jeopardy.


    The missilesunched by both sides were soaring through the air, with the F-16''s missile locking onto the drone, about to hit it. Faced with the missile attack from the approaching F-16, Yan Fei neither panicked nor dodged, because the drone''s quantum radar had already locked onto the iing missile and calcted its flight trajectory. Then, under the precise control of the auxiliary brain, the Vulcan gun at the nose of the drone began firing cannon rounds. A burst of gunfire shed from the nose, and a long stream of cannon rounds shot out, causing a violent explosion in the air. A spark suddenly appeared; the iing missile had been hit and exploded by the drone''s cannon fire.


    Though Carl was fleeing at full speed in his F-16, he was continuously monitoring the attack of his missile. Discovering that the missile he hadunched had been hit by the drone''s cannon and exploded, he was utterly shocked. In his memory, there had never been an instance of an aircraft''s cannon destroying an iing missile. If a cannon was so powerful, what was the point of missiles? Moreover, this was a Predator drone; wasn''t it supposed to have only four missiles as weapons? Since when did it have a 30-millimeter cannon mounted on its nose?


    Yan Fei sessfully dealt with the iing missile. Meanwhile, the drone''s quantum radar locked firmly onto the F-16, with the two AIM-92 missiles in close pursuit. However, the F-16 was dodging with its speed advantage. Then, the tail mes appeared once more under the drone''s wings,unching another AIM-92, which began to block the fleeing F-16''s flight path.


    Carl was shocked; he never expected the drone to fire another missile. Just how many missiles did this drone have? Was this TM thing even a drone anymore? Its firepower was even fiercer than his F-16! And while he was still in shock, the drone shook once more andunched another AIM-92 missile.


    Under the control of the Auxiliary Brain, the four AIM-92 missiles, guided by the Quantum Radar, broke through the decoy res released by the F-16 fighter, trapping the F-16 and leaving it with no way to escape. With no other options, Carl chose to eject. Barely had his body ejected from the fighter''s cockpit when the F-16 was hit by the drone''s missile and exploded violently.


    This unprecedented aerial battle was thrilling beyond measure, and victory had been decided in just a few minutes. The results were unexpected: a seemingly weak "Predator Drone" had annihted two US Army F-16 fighters, and along with them, two Chinook transport helicopters met their end.


    The fleeing Chinook transport helicopter, seeing thest F-16 fighter shot down, sped up and made a run for it. With the F-16s no longer a threat, the drone didn''t hold back its strength. It turned and elerated in pursuit, its body shaking as itunched another missile.


    The missile quickly caught up to the Chinook transport helicopter and shot it down. The biggest difference between helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft is that pilots simply have no chance to eject and escape. Thus, the pilots inside the helicopter perished with their Chinook, crashing to the ground in a fiery ball.


    With that, both of the US Army''s deployed F-16 fighters and three Chinook transport helicopters had been utterly destroyed by Yan Fei''s drone.


    This oue left the blonde woman and the US Army soldiers on the ground dumbfounded, and even Carl, still drifting in the air by his parachute, couldn''t believe it. Theirbat strength was extremely formidable; it was no exaggeration to say that their aerial force could have obliterated the entire air force of a small African country, yet they were all wiped out by the peculiar-looking drone.


    And while Carl was still in disbelief, the drone turned and flew straight towards him. A chilling premonition rose in his heart, and then he noticed a glint on the drone''s nose, a volley of cannon rounds flying out, tearing his body to shreds. He died instantaneously. Then, Carl''s mangled corpse fell into the dense forest below, hanging from the lush trees, bing nourishment for the animals of the primitive forest.


    After the drone decisively took out the parachuting pilot, Carl, it prepared to attack the US Army troops below, but then it spotted a sh of light amidst the trees. A Stinger surface-to-air missile suddenly soared into the sky, heading straight for it.


    The US Army forces below, having witnessed the drone''s ferocity, quicklyunched the Stinger surface-to-air missile they carried to shoot down the drone in the air.


    What the US military soldiers didn''t expect, however, was that the drone, upon detecting the iing Stinger missile, didn''t seem to take it too seriously. It simply adjusted its angle and fired another missile, switching to a Hellfire anti-tank missile this time, targeting the Stinger missileunch site below.


    The Stinger missile flying towards the drone was under constant surveince by the Quantum Radar. The Auxiliary Brain urately calcted its trajectory, then the nose of the drone lit up as it began firing the naval cannon to intercept. The US Army soldiers below saw a sh in the sky followed by a violent explosion. After the st, the Stinger missile was gone without a trace, and the drone remained unscathed.


    Meanwhile, on the ground, the Hellfire anti-tank missile fired by the drone scored a direct hit on the Stinger missileunch site. A massive explosion urred, killing several nearby US Army soldiers.


    Then the drone dipped its nose and dived towards the ground. Its Vulcan Gun firing rapidly, the ground became an inferno. The US Army soldiers near the Stinger missileunch site didn''t even have time to react before they werepletely eliminated by the drone''s naval cannon.


    With that one dive attack, the drone had killed more than a dozen US Army soldiers.

 Chapter 70 Chapter 55: Total Annihilation of the Army

    70 Chapter 55: Total Annihtion of the Army


    US Army soldiers saw the drone''s ferocity, that a single dive attack took out an air defense position and killed more than a dozenrades, leaving all of them shaken with fear. They had always fought with the advantage of superior air support, never having experienced an attack by enemy air superiority; they were extremely unustomed to it.


    However, experienced as they were, the US soldiers did not panic despite being at a disadvantage. Under themand of their leaders, they fired all their Stinger surface-to-air missiles in preparation to attack the drone in the sky. Meanwhile, other soldiers sought cover and opened fire at the drone.


    As the drone prepared for another dive attack, it saw four trails of fireing from below. Scanned by quantum radar, the Auxiliary Brain quickly locked on to the trajectory of the iing missiles. The drone promptly adjusted its nose direction, and the Vulcan Gun quickly opened fire. With just over thirty cannon rounds, it destroyed all four Stinger missiles in mid-air, creating four sparks and once again showcasing its terrifying missile interception capability.


    The drone dealt with the iing missile attack, then its body shook as it fired four Hellfire missiles, targeting the four Stinger missileunch positions on the ground. Explosions rocked the ground followed by four thunderous sts,pletely destroying the four missileunch positions and causing heavy casualties among the soldiers protecting them.


    The drone''s wave of missile attacks caused huge casualties among the US soldiers on the ground. Even by a rough estimate, at least half of the soldiers were casualties. Although the US soldiers'' plight was dire, the drone''s attack did not cease. Its quantum radar quickly scanned the area, disying all the US soldiers taking cover and shooting at the drone. It dove again, directing its attack at these remaining forces.


    After losing their anti-aircraft missiles, the US soldiers could no longer deal with the drone''s attacks. Machine gun bullets, even if they reached the drone, could not prate its mutated body, causing no damage. These soldiers could only watch helplessly as the drone flew overhead and rained down Vulcan Gun cannon rounds to finish them off.


    Under the relentless attack of the drone, the number of US soldiers on the ground decreased rapidly until, in the end, only a group of US soldiers hiding behind a huge rock was left, barely clinging to life.


    When the drone attacked them, they were sheltered behind the hard rock, beyond the reach of its cannon fire, and the small entrance was imprable even to the missiles, truly inessible for attacks.


    Yan Fei observed the terrain and realized that these men had taken cover in what was, theoretically, a blind spot for attacks. However, there was a protruding rock ledge above them. He maneuvered the drone to pivot its gun and fired a Hellfire anti-tank missile at the protruding rock ledge, but the missile''s power was insufficient to bring down the ledge. The drone fired another Hellfire missile at the same spot, finally causing the rock ledge to copse.


    20:28


    Yan Fei observed the terrain and realized that these men had taken cover in what was, theoretically, a blind spot for attacks. However, there was a protruding rock ledge above them. He maneuvered the drone to pivot its gun and fired a Hellfire anti-tank missile at the protruding rock ledge, but the missile''s power was insufficient to bring down the ledge. The drone fired another Hellfire missile at the same spot, finally causing the rock ledge to copse.


    As the cliff crumbled, all the US soldiers below were buried under the rubble, doomed if no assistance came from outside. A few US soldiers, sensing the danger, left their rocky shelter a step earlier, thus escaping the fate of being crushed by the debris. But it did not save them from their destiny of doom, as leaving the shelter exposed them to the intense fire of the drone''s cannon, and they all met a violent end.


    With this, the US armed force waspletely annihted. All sixteen of the drone''s missiles had been expended, and the Vulcan Gun''s ammunition had been used up in the fiercebat. This was Yan Fei''s first time to fully utilize the drone''sbat capacity, but he was somewhat tense during the attack, failing to control the consumption of missiles and cannon rounds, resulting in significant wastage and exhausting all the ammunition.


    Although he had squandered the drone''s ammunition, Yan Fei was gratified that all the enemies were eliminated. As long as he could find the body of that blonde woman and retrieve the rusty gear, his mission in Africa would bepletely sessful. Given that the rusty gear was a crucialponent for the drone''s upgrade, it was not likely to be easily destroyed by weapons. Even if the blonde woman was killed by a cannon round, the gear would remain unscathed. Even if the gear was shattered, the drone was not picky; it could still extract the necessary Raw Materials from the fragments to meet the conditions for an upgrade.


    The data for the drone was refreshed after midnight in Nairobi local time. The drone had traveled a long distance, taking three and a half hours from the territorial waters near the Maldives to Yan Fei''s location at Mount Kilimanjaro, where it then engaged in a fierce air battle. The drone''s Energy Points had been depleted significantly, with less than 1000 points remaining.


    Previously, to save Energy Points, Yan Fei had even restricted the scanning range of the Quantum Radar, which led to his failure to detect the nearby presence of the US Army''s F-16 fighter jets. They ambushed him, nearly causing his demise.


    Now in control of the situation, Yan Fei calcted the drone''s remaining flight time and had no choice but to have the drone depart the area and head back to the Kenyan Coastline. There, it was to find a ce to hide on the seabed. Otherwise, the drone would not have enough Energy Points to make it back to the sea.


    Although the drone had vertical takeoff andnding capabilities and could hide in the primitive depths of the forest, the US Army had just suffered a setback here and would certainly return to settle scores. Even if the drone hid deep within the forest, as long as the US Army deployed their ubiquitous satellites to search the vicinity, they might locate the drone.


    Despite the drone''s valor, it was running out of Energy Points, and with its weapon supply depleted, facing a multitude of advanced US fighter jets would only result in its destruction or capture by the enemy. Thus, for safety, Yan Fei had to instruct the drone to leave first ¨C after all, nobody would think that a drone could actually hide on the ocean floor.


    Moreover, the drone''s previous attack had eliminated all threats to Yan Fei, who was not facing significant danger at the moment. He just needed to find the blonde woman, acquire what he needed, and then leave and return home ¨C everything would be perfect.


    So, Yan Fei watched the drone depart. As it left, the drone expended what little remained of its Energy Points to perform aprehensive scan of a 500-kilometer radius and found no aircraft in the vicinity, which allowed Yan Fei to rx and instruct the drone to leave quickly. The drone''s Energy Points were bottoming out, and it had to leave soon, or it wouldn''t have enough power to return to the coast.


    Hiding in a cave, Yan Fei controlled the drone to annihte the US Army forces, earning arge number of Merit Points. But right now, he didn''t have time to check the exact amount of Merit, as he had more pressing matters to attend to. He began searching the areas the drone had attacked, where corpses in tattersy everywhere. Although the corpses were too disfigured to be recognized, one could still discern what they were wearing. The blonde woman''s attire differed from that of these soldiers. Yan Fei simply needed to locate a body dressed differently from the US military soldiers.


    Yan Fei swiftly navigated through the dense forest, examining the corpses he found. However, to his surprise, after searching all of the locations struck by the drone, he found no trace of the blonde woman''s body. To avoid any error, Yan Fei meticulously checked each body, so it was impossible that he had missed the blonde woman''s corpse.


    The drone''s Quantum Radar was incredibly advanced, having already scanned the jungle below in its entirety, with all humanoid creatures recorded into the Quantum Radar. Then, the drone attacked these marked humanoids, aiming to eliminate them all. The blonde woman couldn''t have moved beyond the Quantum Radar''s scanning range so quickly, so she must have been marked. But now she was nowhere to be found. Where could the blonde woman have gone? Had she been obliterated in the drone''s attack?


    As Yan Fei pondered the situation, unable to figure it out, even suspecting the blonde woman might be buried under thest pile of rubble and about to start clearing it, he suddenly heard the roar of a beast from afar. The roar was abruptly cut short, as though someone had shouted and then had their mouth covered.


    His interest piqued, Yan Fei quickly ran towards the source of the sound, only to see a leopard lying on the ground, with a person underneath it. In the bright moonlight, Yan Fei saw that the person under the leopard was a woman, and more precisely, the blonde woman he had been searching for. At that moment, she looked incredibly ragged, with a severe injury on her stomach, a gash that almost revealed her intestines.


    Upon seeing this scene, Yan Fei instantly understood. The blonde woman had been seriously injured in the drone''s attack; then, seeing the US soldiers hiding and being killed one after another by the drone, she reckoned the drone might be equipped with infrared capabilities. She came across a leopard and subdued it, hiding under its body in an attempt to evade the infrared radar.


    But what the blonde woman didn''t understand was that it wasn''t the infrared radar that had precisely detected their positions; instead, it was the more advanced Quantum Radar. However, even Quantum Radars could make mistakes. During scanning, it identified only the silhouette of the leopard and thus did not target it, not realizing an enemyy hidden beneath it. Due to this twist of fate, the blonde woman narrowly escaped death. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    However, the blonde woman was gravely wounded and was losing a great deal of strength, gradually unable to control the leopard, which led to the animal''s roar. Although she immediately covered the leopard''s mouth, she still unintentionally drew the highly alert Yan Fei to her location.

 Chapter 71 Chapter 56: Bottomless Abyss

    71 Chapter 56: Bottomless Abyss


    The blonde beauty, upon seeing Yan Fei approach, immediately let go of the leopard and took off running. Yan Fei lunged into pursuit as the leopard bolted away, whimpering and tucking its tail.


    After a night''s ordeal, Yan Fei was severely drained, his strength reduced to a mere third of his peak condition. Though his recovery abilities were formidable, they now paledpared to his former vitality. The blonde, having sustained repeated injuries, was even more exhausted. Lacking Yan Fei''s robust healing powers, her strength had dwindled to just one-tenth of her peak. This advantage allowed Yan Fei to thoroughly overpower her.


    The blonde dashed with all her might as Yan Fei chased her relentlessly. The distance between them swiftly closed until he caught up with her at the edge of a precipitous cliff. Below the cliffy a bottomless abyss; beside it, a massive waterfall roared powerfully downward, its deafening noise filling the air, while mist shrouded the depths, concealing the true distance to the bottom...


    The blonde''s speed, already slower than Yan Fei''s and further reduced by her great loss of strength, inevitably led to her being cornered at the cliff''s edge. She nced at the dark expanse but only saw pitch ckness, an unfathomable depth. The rocks, smoothed by the waterfall''s perpetual cascade, offered no foothold, and with no vines within reach, the blonde had nowhere to run.


    Trapped at a dead end, the blonde ceased her escape and quickly tied up her hair. Wiping the blood from her face and adjusting her clothes, she revealed a charming smile and spoke in a coquettish voice, "Little brother, you''re so eagerly chasing me¡ªcould it be that you fancy me?"


    Yan Fei wasn''t fooled. He suddenly advanced and delivered a punch to the blonde''s head. Exhausted and unable to ward off Yan Fei''s blow, she was promptly knocked to the ground. Following through, Yan Fei stomped viciously onto her stomach, worsening her abdominal wound and utterly nullifying her ability to resist.


    He then ripped off the backpack the blonde was carrying, unzipped it, and inside found the rusty gear. Grasping it, he focused his mind and the gear vanished into the Universal Space. Within the Auxiliary Brain, the previously greyed-out gear icon turned red, signifying that the Drone Upgrade Essential Item had been acknowledged by the Auxiliary Brain.


    Only then did Yan Fei rx, knowing that once ced in the Universal Space, this Drone Upgrade Essential Item could no longer be stolen. Despite the constant setbacks and life-threatening dangers on his African mission, he had finally achieved his goal.


    The blonde beauty never expected her ploy to fail sopletely, nor that she''d still have her possessions taken by Yan Fei, leading to her detion. She then saw Yan Fei make the rusty gear disappear and her face promptly took on a grave expression as she said, "Little brother, it seems you have plenty of secrets. To keep them, are you going to kill me to silence me?"


    With the task items in hand, Yan Fei''s mood vastly improved as he replied, "Your guess is absolutely right, but that won''t change your fate. Truth be told, you and I have no past grievances, and I had no intention to kill you. Yet you plotted against me, even deploying US Army troops and fighter jets to take me down, making you my enemy. While I have many foes, most are already dead, which means you must die as well."


    The blonde suddenly put on a coquettish act and said, "Little brother, would you really bear to kill me? I''m quite skilled in that area, why not give it a try with me?"


    Seeing the blonde''s exploded stomach and her bloodied state, Yan Fei felt a bit sickened and replied, "I have no interest in being intimate with my enemy. Besides, do you think you''re still attractive at this point?"


    The blonde looked down at her pitiful condition and realized this was hardly the time to be seductive. However, she didn''t lose hope and asked, "Since you came for this thing, you must know what it''s for, right?"


    Yan Fei''s interest was piqued; he had seized the item simply because the Drone''s Intelligent Brain gged it as an Upgrade Essential Item, not knowing what it truly was or its purpose. Given that both the deceased Sam and the blonde sought it, they likely knew of its extraordinary nature and potentially its true purpose.


    Keen to extract intelligence, Yan Fei said, "Of course I know its use."


    The blonde asked, "Are you with the Chinese government?"


    Yan Fei vaguely responded, "You have good eyesight."


    With a sigh, the blonde said, "You must be with Captain China. If our people hadn''t drawn Captain China away to another ce, he would''ve personallye tonight. Had he intervened, we''d stand no chance. We schemed against him, only to find his men, like you, thwarting us and leading to our ruin. You''ve advanced your technology even further, actually managing to imitate our Predator Drones and modifying them so impressively that we were utterly defeated tonight, with staggering losses."

 Chapter 72 Chapter 56 Bottomless Abyss_2

    72 Chapter 56 Bottomless Abyss_2


    Yan Fei was taken aback, as he had only intended to extract some information, but he unexpectedly obtained a wealth of intelligence from the blond woman''s words. The first piece of information was about Captain China, who, ording to the blond woman, seemed to be extremely formidable. Even for an expert like her to attempt to seize the rusted gear, she would need to lead Captain China away first; otherwise, there was no chance of sess. From this, one could imagine just how powerful Captain China must be.


    The second piece of information was that the rusted gear appeared to be very important. It was not merely an essential item for drone upgrades; there seemed to be other secrets hidden within. Moreover, these secrets were not only known to the blond woman and the forces behind her, but Captain China''s side was also aware of them, otherwise, they wouldn''t havee to snatch it in unity. Yan Fei preliminarily spected that this object might contain some unknown technology, possibly advanced tech. Otherwise, the blond woman wouldn''t have mentioned that China''s technology was bing increasingly formidable.


    Yan Fei was mistaken for being part of Captain China''s team, certainly because the blond woman''s people had lured Captain China away. So, she assumed he was acting in ce of Captain China. Since the blond woman believed that Captain China''s people would appear, they were almost certain to show up. As to why they hadn''t appeared on the scene, it was very likely that he and Sam had taken earlier action and they might have now also been on their way to the museum...


    Yan Fei suddenly remembered something else. It was the incident he had previously discovered where the domestic news about the opening of the Kenya Museum had been reced. At the time, he didn''t know the reason but now, given that the blond woman''s adversary was named Captain China, it was evident this Captain China must be connected to China. It should have been easy for him to mobilize national strength to switch out a seemingly inconsequential news piece!


    Perhaps no one knew the purpose of the rusted gear at first, so the news was broadcasted as is. It was only after Captain China discovered it that the news was reced to conceal the true nature of the matter.


    While Yan Fei was hypothesizing about the truth of the incident, he continued to try extracting information, saying, "We have already made significant breakthroughs in studying this object. You''ve seen for yourself, we''ve emted your Predator drones and then modified them, easily shooting down your fighter jets. I just made that thing disappear, which is also an application of one of the technologies."


    Upon hearing Yan Fei''s words, the blond woman suddenly showed an unusual expression and said, "You are not one of Captain China''s men, you almost deceived me."


    Yan Fei was shocked upon realizing his misunderstanding. His words had alerted the blond woman and he immediately felt regret.


    A cold smirk appeared on the blond woman''s face as she said, "Since you are not one of Captain China''s men, I advise you to return the object to me. I can let bygones be bygones and allow you to leave safely. Otherwise, your end will be very miserable."


    Seeing his ploy fail, Yan Fei ceased his attempt to extract information and dered, "If that''s the case, then you can go to hell!" n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The blond woman, observing Yan Fei''s brash behavior, anxiously said, "Before you act, think carefully. My true identity is that of a senior intelligence officer with the US CIA. If you kill me, you''ll be opposing the CIA. They will target you, and you''ll never have peace."


    Realizing she was indeed an important person from the United States, no wonder she could mobilize US Army troops and fighter jets, Yan Feiughed and said, "You''re with the CIA, which gives me even more reason to kill you. Should I let you go just so you can seek revengeter on? Besides, I''ve destroyed so many of your nes and killed over a hundred of your soldiers, causing such substantial losses. Do you think you would let me go?"


    Seeing the unmistakable intent to kill in Yan Fei''s eyes, the blond woman became increasingly panicked and said, "Actually, I have another identity. I am Tripi?aka''s disciple, so you can''t kill me."


    Upon hearing this, Yan Fei appeared somewhat hesitant. But then he suddenly stepped forward, grasped the blond woman''s neck in one swoop. As it turned out, while the blond woman had been stalling for time, she was secretly gathering strength, waiting for an opportunity to strike back and turn the tables. Little did she know that Yan Fei had already seen through it all. He pretended to hesitate on the surface but seized the moment tounch a sneak attack.


    The blond woman was rmed, not expecting Yan Fei tounch a sudden attack. With her severe injuries and greatly diminished strength, she was no match for Yan Fei, who sessfully ambushed her, dissipating the power she had umted. Yan Fei clutched the blond woman''s neck with force and with one swift motion, broke it, leaving her neck in two pieces, a strange expression on her face.


    Only after Yan Fei had dealt with the blond woman did he truly breathe a sigh of relief. Faced with an adversary who was full of tricks and possessed exceptional strength, he had to be fully vignt lest she turned the tables on him.


    As Yan Fei was feeling relieved, he noticed a strange device fall from the blond woman''s body and roll away. Upon closer examination, he discovered that the device was only the size of a thumb, shing red lights on the ground. Shocked, Yan Fei saw the blond woman''s face break into a triumphant smile before she diedpletely.


    Yan Fei didn''t understand what the red-light shing device was, but instinctively felt danger. As he moved to pick it up and throw it off the cliff into the waterfall, he heard an unusual noise from the sky. Looking up, he saw a streak of fire cutting across the sky above him, a massive missile diving towards him at high speed.


    In the blink of an eye, Yan Fei realized what the red-light shing device on the ground was: a missile beacon. It was originally meant for ground personnel to direct missile strikes on targets. His drones had taken out the US Army''s fighter jets in the area, but nearby there must be US Navy warships or an Army base present.


    The blond woman must havemunicated with the warship or basemander tounch a missile attack on this location. As a result, the US Army had initiated a long-range missile attack from a warship situated on the sea surface or a military base. The device was used to guide the missile strike. The drones had conducted a quantum radar scan before leaving the vicinity, and at that time, no missiles were detected in flight, indicating that this missile had just beenunched and theunch site must not have been far from this location.


    At this moment, Yan Fei also understood the sly smile on the blond woman''s face as shey dying; she might have died, but Yan Fei would have to join her in death.


    Although Yan Fei realized all of this, with the device some distance from him and the missile nearly upon him, he no longer had time to kick it off the cliff. In desperation, he only had time to order the Auxiliary Brain to hide his drone in the shallow seabed near Kenya, after which he leaped into the bottomless abyss below.


    Right as Yan Fei plunged into the abyss, the missile struck the beacon device on the ground, causing a deafening explosion.


    Yan Fei swiftly fell from the cliff, but the shock wave produced by the explosion was even faster. In an instant, the shock wave caught up with Yan Fei in mid-air, engulfing him in its force, and he suffered immense damage.


    Yan Fei was in excruciating pain, his vision went dark, and he immediately passed out. His body continued to fall, eventually swallowed by the darkness of the unfathomable abyss...

 Chapter 73 Chapter 57: Lover in a Dream

    73 Chapter 57: Lover in a Dream


    In a dazed and confused state, Yan Fei felt as though he had experienced a myriad of events and received countless messages, with all sorts of bizarre incidents ying out in his mind¡­


    Not knowing how much time had passed, Yan Fei suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and found himself lying in a hospital bed, his body wrapped in bandages, a needle in the back of his hand administering an infusion, and the pain and weakness in his body hadpletely vanished.


    The ward was entirely white, the sunlight outside the window was bright and cheery, and the air was remarkably fresh. A female nurse in a crisp white uniform stood by the window. She was tall and beautiful, with a face that radiated innocence, embodying the essence of youth. She stood in front of the window, tending to the potted nts on the sill, watering them with a watering can.


    The nurse looked at the nts with a gentle smile on her face. The rising sun cast its glow on her face, creating an extraordinary beauty.


    Upon seeing the beautiful nurse, Yan Fei was instantly entranced; his heart rate increased, feeling that he had already fallen for this nurse. It was love at first sight, as the legend goes. He liked the nurse without any reason.


    Just as Yan Fei''s heart raced, falling deep into this moment of romance, the lovely nurse put down the watering can, returned the nts to their spot, and turned around to leave the ward.


    In a panic and not knowing the nurse''s name, Yan Fei said, "Wait... please wait a moment..."


    Unfortunately, it seemed as though the beautiful nurse didn''t hear Yan Fei speak at all. She walked straight past Yan Fei''s bed, pulled open the door, and was about to leave.


    Filled with excitement, Yan Fei feared he might never see the nurse again and shouted loudly, "...Wait, don''t go..."


    The nurse abruptly stopped, looked at Yan Fei joyfully, and said, "That''s wonderful, you''ve finally woken up!"


    Yan Fei paused, then suddenly froze. This scene had urred many times in his dreams, but shouldn''t the nurse have ignored him, open the door, and leave, leading to his abrupt awakening in desperation? Yet, the nurse had just spoken to him and didn''t leave like she did in his dreams. What on earth was going on? Could it be that he wasn''t dreaming?


    Seeing Yan Fei awake, the nurse immediately said, "Wait here, I''ll call the doctor for you!"


    Yan Fei was puzzled and did not stop the nurse''s actions, but instead contemted his current situation, as he hadpletely recalled that he should have been attacked by missilesunched by the US Army. Although he avoided the direct hit from the missile, he was still affected by the st wave.


    The blonde beauty was cunning, managing to distract him with conversation, leading him to talk with her more than necessary, preventing him from finishing her off in time and allowing her to call for a missile attack on him, nearly causing a catastrophic failure. All of this was a bloody lesson, but with this lesson learned, Yan Fei would make fewer mistakes in the future.


    To dodge the missile attack, Yan Fei leaped into a bottomless abyss at a critical moment and passed out. Where was he now? How long had he been unconscious?


    As Yan Fei pondered, he realized something was off about the room. He hadn''t paid much attention before, but now he saw that there was a thinyer of stic isting his bed from the outside. The pretty nurse had been speaking to him from outside the stic barrier. He was shocked, realizing this ce resembled an istion ward. Could something terrible have happened while he was unconscious, or could he have been captured?


    While Yan Fei was immersed in doubt, a doctor in white entered from outside the room, but this doctor had a protective mask on his head. As soon as he saw the nurse, he chided, "Miss Wen Rou, this is an istion ward; there''s a deadly virus in the air with high contagion risk. You should be wearing protective gear like me."


    The nurse named Wen Rou stuck out her tongue, embarrassed, and said, "I''m sorry, Dr. Bob. I just didn''t want the patient to see me fully geared up; it could make them ufortable and hinder their speedy recovery."


    Dr. Bob looked somewhat helpless and said, "Miss Wen Rou, I totally understand your concern for the patients, but you have to learn how to protect yourself. Otherwise, you won''t be helping them, and you''ll get sick."


    Wen Rou lowered her head sheepishly and responded, "I understand, Dr. Bob. I will be more careful in the future."


    Yan Fei watched the pretty and lovely Wen Rou, his heart pounding, marveling at how there could be such an adorable woman in the world. He felt a desire to cherish and protect her, to love her, and to bring her happiness. He was certain that he had fallen in love with her, not only in the recurring dreams but also in the real world. His affection for this woman had already blossomed.


    Wen Rou spoke up, "Dr. Bob, look, this gentleman hase to."


    It was then that Dr. Bob noticed Yan Fei with open eyes on the bed and said, "Sir, can you understand what I''m saying?"


    Dr. Bob and Wen Rou had been speaking English, which he naturally understood. He nodded and said, "I can understand you. May I ask, doctor, where am I right now?"


    Dr. Bob replied, "We are in Konado Town, at the border between Kenya and Tanzania. You''re in a temporary hospital set up by our international medical organization."


    Yan Fei asked, "What''s the date today?" n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After a pause, Yan Fei followed up with, "And what year is it?"


    Dr. Bob checked the time and said, "It is May 26, 2018, noon."


    Yan Fei checked the time and realized he hadn''t experienced anything bizarre during his unconsciousness, though this time he had been out for 34 hours. He asked, "Doctor, how did I get here?"


    Dr. Bob said, "Yesterday at noon, while we were on our way by boat to Aywei Vige to check on the Eb outbreak, Miss Wen Rou found you floating down from the river above the vige. We rescued you to shore and noticed you were still breathing, so we brought you back to the Temporary Hospital. The reason you''re in the istion ward is that you were found in a heavily infected area, so we suspect you might be carrying the Eb virus; that''s why we can only observe you in the istion ward for now."


    Only then did Yan Fei understand the situation he was in. After falling unconscious, he must have dropped into the abyss and, surprisingly,nded in the river below, fortuitously saving his life. Then, he must have drifted downstream unconsciously until he was picked up by Wen Rou and her medical team and brought back here.


    Yan Fei had been seriously injured before, but during his unconsciousness, his body''s strong recovery abilities kicked in, causing the scabs on his wounds to fall off and concealing the extent of his injuries, so none of these doctors with Doctors Without Borders noticed anything odd and just treated him as a suspected Eb patient.


    The moment Yan Fei concentrated, he immediately felt the presence of his Drone Avatar. While he was unconscious, he had given the Drone''s Auxiliary Brain amand to hide automatically, and although he had then lost consciousness, the Auxiliary Brain executed hismand perfectly, hiding the Drone under the sea outside the coast of Kenya. After a 24-hour data refresh, the Drone was as good as new, waiting for Yan Fei''s call.


    Once he found his Drone Avatar was safe and sound, Yan Fei finally let go of his concerns. As long as the Drone had no issues, he had nothing to fear. Now, the only worry he had was whether he had been infected with the Eb virus while drifting through the river passing the viges struck by the outbreak. He hoped he wouldn''t be killed not by the powerful US Army but fall to this tiny Eb virus instead.


    Seeing Yan Fei looking worried, Wen Rou immediatelyforted him, "Sir, please don''t worry, we checked you for the virus as soon as we found you and didn''t find any trace of the Eb virus. We''re just concerned that the virus might be incubating inside you, so we want you to be observed here for a while. If nothing unusual happens after three days, it means you''re not infected, and you can leave."


    Yan Fei immediately said, "Is your name Wen Rou? The name suits you; it''s as lovely as you are."


    Wen Rou blushed and replied shyly, "Thank you for thepliment. I''m normally quite lively and active. Oh, by the way, I didn''t ask your name. How did you end up floating downstream from the upper river?"


    Yan Fei said, "My name is Yan Fei, from China, 23 years old, unmarried, and without a girlfriend."


    Yan Fei, taken aback, touched the back of his head and gave a sillyugh. As soon as he saw Wen Rou, he subconsciously took a liking to her and wanted to be close to her, so he tried to talk more with her. During their conversation, he wasn''t as calm and collected as before and wanted her to know his rtionship status.


    Yan Fei said, "I came to Kenya alone for a vacation. I went to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, but got lost on the mountain. Then I slipped down the slope and passed out. When I woke up, I found myself lying here."


    Although Yan Fei wanted to get closer to Wen Rou as soon as he saw her, he didn''t tell her about his ordeal but made up a reason for why he was there.


    Hearing this, Wen Rou said with a trace of fright, "You''re lucky to have escaped danger, Mr. Yan Fei."


    Yan Fei replied, "I must thank all of you for saving me; otherwise, I would have been dead."


    Dr. Bob, who was nearby, said, "Okay, now that Mr. Yan is awake, rest well. We will conduct a thorough examination, and if we don''t find any Eb infection, you''ll be free to leave. Oh, and if you need to contact your family, Miss Wen Rou will assist you."


    Having said that, Dr. Bob left the ward, leaving only Wen Rou behind.


    Yan Fei asked, "Um... may I call you Little Rou?"


    Wen Rou smiled and said, "Of course, that''s what my friends call me. Then, may I call you Little Fei?"


    Yan Fei smiled, "I like that nickname."


    Wen Rou then said, "Little Fei, do you need to contact your family back in China?"


    Yan Fei replied, "No need, I''ve already escaped danger; I wouldn''t want to worry them."


    Yan Fei''s parents had passed away, and his only friends were Lu Pingping and Yang Qi. But Yang Qi had enough trouble looking after himself, let alone caring for Yan Fei. As for Lu Pingping, she was busy with the Weight Loss Cookies issue and could hardly be asked toe to Africa.


    Besides, Yan Fei had seen his dream lover in the Real World and had already set his sights on pursuing her, so why would he invite a few light bulbs to keep an eye on him?

 Chapter 74 Chapter 58 God of Iron-mouthed Predictions

    74 Chapter 58 God of Iron-mouthed Predictions


    Yan Fei saw Wen Rou''s smiling face and unconsciously felt a surge of happiness. He asked, "Little Rou, judging by your appearance, you must be Chinese, right?"


    Wen Rou touched her face and said, "I guess I am Chinese!"


    Yan Fei was surprised and asked, "Guess? What do you mean by that?"


    Wen Rou exined, "Actually, I was an abandoned infant, found in a park. The only thing left with me was the two characters for ''Wen Rou'', with nothing else to prove my identity. Later, I was adopted by an American couple who told me about this when I grew up, and they said my name was taken from the Chinese characters left on my swaddling clothes."


    Yan Fei was taken aback; he hadn''t expected that Wen Rou had been an abandoned child. Although he himself had lost both parents, at least they had been there during his upbringing, and he had experienced the warmth of a family. He found it unbelievable that such an adorable girl like Wen Rou had been abandoned as a child.


    Seeing the expression on Yan Fei''s face, Wen Rou quickly added, "Actually, Little Fei, you needn''t pity me; I lived very happily in the home of my adoptive parents. I never felt my destiny was particrly tragic."


    Yan Fei changed the subject, asking, "By the way, Little Rou, why did your M¨¦decins Sans Fronti¨¨res organizatione to Africa this time?"


    Wen Rou immediately looked worried as she replied, "The Eb outbreak in Africa suddenly erupted, and the situation is very critical. A lot of people have already lost their lives. The Aywei Vige we visited before was the central area of the virus outbreak, and nearly everyone in that vige has died."


    Only then did Yan Fei realize his own good fortune. His personal strength had greatly improved, and he seemed rather formidable. However, he was utterly defenseless against these microbes, only visible under a microscope. Appearing at the center of the Eb outbreak, yet without being infected by the virus, he could consider himself extremely lucky. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Looking somewhat saddened, Wen Rou said, "This Eb virus seems to emerge and wreak havoc every so often, causing the loss of many lives. Who knows when mankind will be able to develop an effective drug to treat the Eb virus?"


    Looking at the kind-hearted girl, Yan Fei''s heart swelled with love as he said, "Little Rou, I have apany in domestic China, also engaged in biomedical research. I will increase research on the Eb virus in the future. Perhaps we''ll be able to create a medicine to cure it."


    Wen Rou immediately brightened up and said, "That would be wonderful. I hope you can manage to create that medicine, Little Fei. It could save many people."


    20:31


    Yan Fei, seeing Wen Rou''s cheerful mood, felt a sense of peaceful joy in his heart and asked, "By the way, Little Rou, did you know me before?"


    Wen Rou was taken aback, shaking her head and saying, "No, I didn''t know you!"


    Yan Fei then asked, "Is it possible you knew me before but then forgot?"


    Wen Rou shook her head again, asserting, "That''s unlikely, right? I have a very good memory. As long as I''ve met someone once, I''m sure to not forget them."


    Yan Fei thought for a moment, then asked, "If you were to dream, is there a chance you might have met me in your dreams?"


    Wen Rou shook her head, replying, "We haven''t met before, and you are not a famous person; how could I possibly dream about you?"


    After saying this, Wen Rou felt she had misspoken and quickly apologized, "Little Fei, I didn''t mean it that way..."


    Yan Fei gave a bitter smile; this girl might im to have a good memory but was still quite scatterbrained. The reason he asked was that he had dreamed of Wen Rou at least five times in previous dreams. Whenever he was about to forget what Wen Rou looked like, that dream would reappear, so he continued to remember her face clearly until now when he had truly met Wen Rou and relived everything from the dreand.


    Yan Fei was unable to exin this incredible situation scientifically; he could only ask Wen Rou if she had ever seen him before. If Wen Rou had also experienced the same dream, then maybe there was some kind of connection between them that he was unaware of, such as a predestined rtionship from a past life? However, Wen Rou clearly had never seen him before and had no recollection of him, which left Yan Fei somewhat disappointed.


    Seeing Yan Fei''s disappointed look, Wen Rou regretted what she had just said and awkwardly spoke, "Little Fei, you should rest for a while; I''ll go help out in the other wards."


    Watching Wen Rou leave, Yan Fei felt reluctant but didn''t show it. As long as Wen Rou''s M¨¦decins Sans Fronti¨¨res organization was here treating Eb virus-infected patients, he would be able to meet her.


    Yan Feiy in bed resting. After a day and a half of recovery during hisa, his body had returned to a healthy state. It was just that due to excessive blood loss, he still felt somewhat weak, but under the care of the temporary hospital, he was recovering quickly.


    Yan Fei took over his Drone Avatar, and upon activating his Auxiliary Brain, he found that the Drone Data had all been refreshed. His Combat power was restored to its peak, ready at his summons. Within the Auxiliary Brain''s information, he found the data from the previous battle.


    Launching Missiles and Naval Cannon attacks at Kilimanjaro, killing 137 people, earning 137 Merit Points;unching Missile Attack, downing three Transport Helicopters, earning 450 Merit Points (150 Merit Points per Helicopter);unching Missile Attack, downing two Fighter Jets, earning 800 Merit Points (400 Merit Points per Fighter Jet), totaling 1387 Merit Points earned from this sortie. Total Merit Points umted: 1789.

 Chapter 75 Chapter 58 God of Iron-mouthed Predictions_2

    75 Chapter 58 God of Iron-mouthed Predictions_2


    Yan Fei hadn''t expected this unmanned drone strike to earn him so many Merit Points. With arge number of US Army troops providing easy targets, the drone''s Merit Points soared. Adding to the Merit Points he already had, his total reached an astonishing 1789 points, making the 10000-point threshold for the Drone Upgrade no longer seem that far away.


    Yan Fei was very satisfied with his trip to Africa. Not only did he sessfully obtain the rusty gear essential for the drone''s upgrade, but he also garnered a wealth of Merit Points. More importantly, Yan Fei had found the woman of his dreams on this trip, reigniting the passion to pursue his love.


    What bothered Yan Fei was that he hadn''t seen Wen Rou for two days straight. When he asked Dr. Bob, who conducted his medical check-ups, he found out that due to a shortage of staff within their Doctors Without Borders organization, Wen Rou, as a nurse, had been helping out everywhere and therefore had no time to visit Yan Fei. After all, Yan Fei seemed to be in good health and there were other patients in greater need of assistance.


    On the third day, Dr. Bob gave Yan Fei a thorough check-up, then told Yan Fei he wasn''t infected with the Eb Virus, and he could leave the quarantine zone.


    It was only then that Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief; not being infected with the Eb virus meant his life was no longer in danger. Leaving the quarantine zone, he saw Wen Rou busily helping out in the makeshift hospital and felt a tinge of heartache, so he went up to help.


    Yan Fei wasn''t a professional, but he had strength to offer, which allowed him to assist with tasks the doctors and nurses couldn''t manage. His involvement substantially reduced the workload for the medical staff.


    Taking the opportunity of blending into the Doctors Without Borders to help, Yan Fei''s interaction with Wen Rou increased. He used his abilities to keep Wen Rou cheerful, and he also showcased his extensive knowledge stored in the Auxiliary Brain, impressing Wen Rou with his breadth of knowledge. Since the Auxiliary Brain could provide answers at any moment, even the organization''s doctors were amazed by his medical knowledge, calling him a medical genius, regretting only that he wasn''t a real physician. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The knowledge Yan Fei disyed was collected from the inte, simply organized by the Auxiliary Brain; he did not show off the insights and deductions made by the Auxiliary Brain. Nheless, it was enough for Wen Rou to see him in a new light, bringing immense joy to Yan Fei.


    A weekter, the number of Eb virus-infected patients discovered in the nearby area gradually decreased, and the infectious outbreak finally showed signs of subsiding. It was only then that Wen Rou got the chance to truly rest. Yan Fei didn''t know how such a petite body could harbour so much strength, allowing her to persist until now. Yan Fei, being a man with a robust physique, felt somewhat exhausted himself, which made him admire the Doctors Without Borders even more.


    That evening, as Yan Fei was pondering how to invite Wen Rou out to deepen their emotional exchange, Wen Rou called him out. It turned out there was a market nearby hosting a memorial festival that evening and they nned to have a celebration. Wen Rou, taking advantage of her break, wanted to visit the market to rx, so she invited Yan Fei to join her.


    Yan Fei was thrilled. He quickly borrowed a car from the temporary hospital and drove Wen Rou towards the market.


    By the time they got to the market, it was seven in the evening and the celebration hadn''t yet begun. So, Yan Fei took Wen Rou to a restaurant in the market and enjoyed a dinner full of African vor.


    Tasting these exotic foods for the first time, Yan Fei was rather surprised, while Wen Rou exined them to him, allowing him to learn more about African customs and strengthening their bond in the process.


    Looking at Wen Rou''s adorable face, Yan Fei couldn''t help but voice the question that had been on his mind, "Little Rou, you aren''t married, are you?"


    Wen Rou set down the fruit she was holding, looking surprised as she said, "I don''t even have a boyfriend, how could I be married?"


    Yan Fei was overjoyed. Under the table, his hand formed a triumphant fist gesture as he said, "Seeing you alone and without anyone contacting you, I just had to ask."


    Wen Rou said, "This is Africa; not only is transport inconvenient,munication is also a big problem. My friends are all in the United States, and I can''t get in touch with them right now."


    Seeing that they had almost finished eating and the celebration had started outside, Yan Fei joined Wen Rou to participate in the festivities. The event was full of African charm, which offered them both a glimpse into the unique culture of the African continent and broadened their horizons.


    Following the end of the celebration, the market officially opened, and Yan Fei along with Wen Rou began to stroll through it.


    The market mostly sold local fruits and simple handicrafts. In addition to these, products from China were the most abundant. The array of Chinese goods and Chinese characters nearly made Yan Fei believe he had returned home, demonstrating how deeply Chinese culture had integrated into the African continent.


    Some of the vendors, seeing Yan Fei and Wen Rou''s Chinese faces, greeted them with broken "hellos." Wen Rou covered her mouth andughed, and seeing her so happy, Yan Fei was pleased to spend some money at the small stalls to buy some local specialties.


    The two enjoyed their time together, shopping happily. When they reached the outskirts of the market, they saw a lonely stall with an old man with white beard sitting in front of it, looking like a sage hermit. A sign in front of the stall written in simplified Chinese read, "Iron-d prophecy, knowledge of the future, no charge if incorrect."

    Thanks to the book friend: Book Friend 20180409125111172 for the reward! Thank you all for your collections and rmendation tickets!


    Now for an aside, this book has recently been targeted by professional critics. They''ve beenmbasting the book since the beginning. Right from the first chapter, posts appeared saying the book was toxic, unbearable, and that they were dropping it! By chapter five, they were still posting that the content was too toxic, and they had been poisoned to death, and were dropping the book! By chapter ten, more posts imed the author''s writing was disgusting, and they were determined to abandon the book...


    Yet right up to chapter fifty, they continued posting, ndering the protagonist as dim-witted and the author as a pervert, before adamantly dropping the book and prophesying that their posts would soon be deleted...


    With such obvious attempts to lead the narrative, your identity as a professional critic has been fully revealed. Why would an author not delete your post unless he enjoys abuse? You''re posting so much, with a word count that''s nearly hit a thousand, and with such free time and typing skills, not to mention the numerous "toxic points" you''ve pointed out, why not write a book yourself instead of earning money this way in the middle of the night?


    It''s true that the author doesn''t always update quickly, and maybe some content isn''t everyone''s cup of tea, but every chapter is diligently written, aiming for thrilling plots and logical coherence. At the very least, they''re being careful about not having any typos, right? But it''s still distressing to wake up every morning to see posts from these professional critics.


    However, this also indicates something ¡ª that the book is quite popr and has threatened the position of some other works, or else professional critics wouldn''t be emerging. This book is written for the enjoyment of readers who like it. For those who don''t ¡ª the author is truly sorry, but could you please refrain from spewing criticism without having read through the book?


    After typing in the early hours of the morning, I couldn''t help but vent a bit. I hope everyone can forgive me!

 Chapter 76 Chapter 59: Predicting the Future

    76 Chapter 59: Predicting the Future


    Seeing that sign, Yan Fei almostughed out loud and said, "Isn''t this the same getup used by those swindlers on fortune-telling streets back in China? Howe I''m seeing it here in a remote and impoverished ce in Africa? Besides, the sign is written entirely in Chinese characters, are you sure these African uncles can understand it?"


    Wen Rou had never been to China, so she asked curiously, "Little Fei, are there such people in China too?"


    Yan Fei exined, "In some cities within China, there are always one or two streets filled with fortune-tellers like these. They do have a market, but it''s all fraudulent. Except that those people are fully decked out, unlike this old man who looks rather shabby."


    Wen Rou said, "Look at this elderly gentleman, he looks just like an immortal from a painting, how could he be a con artist? Could you be wrong?"


    Yan Fei said, "Little Rou, it''s because you''ve never seen how they deceive people. Look at what''s written here¡ª''no charge if wrong.'' Don''t you think they can''t make any money?"


    Wen Rou nodded and said, "Yes! If it really means ''no charge if wrong,'' then they certainly can''t make money. So how do they deceive people?"


    Yan Fei chuckled and said, "I once met a fortune-teller who specialized in predicting whether pregnant women would have a boy or not, and he also imed ''no charge if wrong.'' But when the pregnant women came to question him, he would say they were all having boys, and toe find him for a refund if he was wrong. Guess what happened next?"


    Wen Rou bit her finger and thought for a moment then cocked her head and said, "I don''t know!"


    Yan Fei said, "The result was that those who didn''t give birth to boys came to ask him for a refund, and as long as someone came to him, he refunded their money. But he still made money, why is that?"


    Wen Rou suddenly eximed "Ah!" and pped her hands, "I get it now. Among those pregnant women, at least half of them would have boys, so that half wouldn''te to him for a refund. In other words, by exploiting the gender ratio of newborns, he made 50% of the money. Since at least half are boys, even after refunding the money for the girls, he still made a profit."


    Yan Fei nodded and said, "That''s right. This is the con artists'' usual trick. They just y a number game, and everyone gets fooled."


    Wen Rou looked at the sage-like old man and said, "But I feel this grandpa looks so kind, he shouldn''t be deceiving people. Let''s go give it a try!"


    Yan Fei internally rolled his eyes, thinking that the fortune-tellers back in China, which one didn''t look like a wise sage, like a real immortal, nobody would hold back when ites to scamming. However, he wasn''t stubborn and didn''t insist on his own opinion and said, "Since you believe in him, let''s give it a try then!"


    So, the two approached the white-bearded old man''s stall. The old man opened his eyes and said in Mandarin, "The infallible prophet, foretelling the future, no charge if wrong."


    Yan Fei also spoke in Mandarin, "Old man, can you really tell fortunes?"


    The white-bearded old man proudly said, "I, Gu Banxian, have roamed Jianghu for fifty years, have foretold numerous people''s destinies and changed their lives, and you doubt if I can tell fortunes? Today, I, the half-immortal, wander the mortal world, finding this ce quite significant. After calcting, I discovered that someone here was destined to meet me. Thus, I emerged once more to tell fortunes for people, as an act of umting virtue, yet you doubt me?"


    Wen Rou also spoke in Mandarin, "Grandpa, based on your advertisement, can you also predict the future?"


    The white-bearded old man immediately perked up and said, "Let me tell you the truth, fortune-telling for others is just a side job, not worth mentioning. My real talent is indeed predicting the future, and it is with my predictive ability that I can thrive without fail."


    Yan Fei, seeing his nonsense, said, "Old man, talk is cheap if you don''t practice what you preach. Since you''ve boasted about your abilities, why don''t you show us a thing or two?"


    The white-bearded old manughed and took out a stack of papers and two pens, cing them in front of Yan Fei and Wen Rou, he said, "I foresaw the future yesterday and knew that I would meet you two here today. I even foresaw the questions you would ask, wrote down the answers, and sealed them in envelopes. These envelopes are in the drawer below. Just write your questions on these papers, and I will immediately fetch the answers from below for you."


    Yan Fei burst outughing, "You''re really something, old man. Other fortune-tellers don''t have this kind of method. Aren''t you afraid if it''s not urate, people will be scared off?"


    Wen Rou tugged on Yan Fei''s hand and said, "Little Fei, let''s give it a try, and we''ll know the truth right away."


    Yan Fei nodded in agreement with Wen Rou''s suggestion. He said to the white-bearded old man, "Since you''re so confident, I''ll give it a go. If you really have predictive ability, I''ll give you a million. If you deceive me, I''ll flip your stall."


    The white-bearded old manughed heartily, looking very confident, and said, "Then write down the question you have for me!"


    Yan Fei took a piece of white paper and spread it out. Next to him, Wen Rou also took a piece of paper and asked, "Grandpa, do you know English?"


    So, Yan Fei and Wen Rou began writing on the paper, Yan Fei''s slip of paper was tilted slightly, ensuring Wen Rou didn''t see what was written on it. Wen Rou, on the other hand, wrote openly without any attempt to conceal her words. Both quickly finished and folded their papers, then pushed them towards the bearded old man.


    The old man with the white beard opened each of their papers and, after reading the contents, stroked his beard andughed, "Haha, indeed, it''s exactly as I predicted."


    Then the bearded old man opened a drawer beneath his stall, where two envelopes, sealed earlier, were ced. He handed one to Yan Fei and the other to Wen Rou, saying, "The answers are inside, have a look for yourselves."


    Seeing the old man''sposed demeanor, Yan Fei began to wonder, could this old man truly foresee the future? Or was it that, like himself, the old man had experienced some extraordinary fortune that allowed him to see the future?


    Though Yan Fei was doubtful, his hands moved swiftly. He quickly opened the envelope, pulled out the letter inside, and saw a sentence written: "You and Wen Rou will be together, and you will have a happy and joyful ending!"


    Yan Fei was shocked, nearly dropping the letter. The question he had just written on the nk paper was: "Can I be with Wen Rou? What will our ending be like?"


    The answer on the old man''s envelope wasn''t a one-size-fits-all response, but a highly relevant answer to Yan Fei''s question. Even before he put pen to paper, he hadn''t been sure what question he would write. In other words, his question was entirely spontaneous, and no one could have known he would ask such a thing. But the old man had answered his question perfectly. Could this old man truly be a person of marvels, possessing the ability to predict the future in detail?


    Looking at the white-bearded old man with a mix of awe and doubt, Yan Fei saw that Wen Rou was also curiously looking at him. He suddenly bent down and lifted the curtain underneath the old man''s stall, only to find a simple table with four legs and nothing else except for a drawer. That meant the answer in the envelope couldn''t possibly have been written on the spot by someone hiding under the table. Moreover, his hearing was extremely keen, and he hadn''t heard any noise of the envelope being ced into the drawer. It was certain that the answer had appeared in the drawer without any outside contact.


    Curiosity getting the better of her, Wen Rou asked, "Little Fei, was your question predicted?"


    Yan Fei answered vaguely, "It seems he might be onto something."


    Wen Rou then asked, "Can I see what the question was?"


    Yan Fei snatched the paper with his own question and the answer from the old man''s hands, put them back into the envelope, and then tucked it into his chest, saying, "It''s nothing, nothing at all!"


    The old man with the white beard didn''t try to stop him and just looked at Yan Fei with a smile, exuding an air of inscrutable wisdom.


    Seeing that Yan Fei had put away the question and answer, Wen Rou didn''t press further. Everyone has their secrets, after all. She picked up her own envelope, pulled out a sheet of paper from it, and started looking at the answer. Upon reading it, she eximed, covered her small mouth in surprise, showing disbelief in her eyes.


    Curious yet reluctant to pry, Yan Fei saw Wen Rou pass the answer to him, saying, "Little Fei, can you help me see if this is real?"


    Yan Fei took a look and saw it written, "Three years from now, your biological parents will appear by your side, and you will receive their love."


    Yan Fei asked, "Little Rou, what was your question?"


    Wen Rou retrieved the paper she had written on from the old man, and on it was scribbled in simplified Chinese: "When can I see my birth parents? Do they still love me?"


    Yan Fei was truly astonished now, as Wen Rou''s question had also been predicted by the old man, who had written the answer in advance. Since the answers were all written with a brush and the ink was already dry, it was clear they weren''t written just now but rather some time ago. Could this white-bearded old man truly be a saintly figure, and meeting him was a matter of destiny?


    At this point, Yan Fei''s view of the self-proimed Old Man Gu had undergone a change. If Old Man Gu could indeed see into the future, then perhaps he could foresee Yan Fei''s acquisition of the Drone, as well as what lies ahead for him?


    As Yan Fei pondered, Old Man Gu spoke up, "This ability to foresee the future is mighty powerful, but using it consumes a great deal of my lifespan; I can only employ it three times a month. So don''t even think about how to use my ability to work for you. I can only predict a rough scenario for you at most, and the more detailed the prediction, the greater the toll on my lifespan. I have already foreseen the future for you twice; you have one more chance left."


    Yan Fei said, "Elder, please forgive my earlier words!"


    Old Man Gu waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, I''ve seen much in my days; I won''t hold it against you. The first two predictions can be considered free gifts, but thisst chance, I will have to charge for it."


    With Dream Foods'' products selling like hotcakes recently, the Supreme VIP Card that Lu Pingping got for him always had a hefty bnce, so money was no longer a concern for him. Although his bank card was flush with funds, he didn''t carry much cash on him, and he asked somewhat awkwardly, "Can I transfer money here?"

 Chapter 77 Chapter 60 Rebirth Change

    77 Chapter 60 Rebirth Change


    Old Man Guughed heartily and surprisingly pulled out a China UnionPay POS machine from the backpack behind him, setting it before Yan Fei, who stood there dumbfounded. Then Old Man Gu said, "How could someone like me, capable of foreseeing the future, not be well-prepared?"


    Yan Fei reached into his pocket, but in fact, he was taking his bank card out from the Universal Space. He swiped it on the old man''s POS machine, keyed in an amount of one million, and said, "Is that enough?"


    The white-bearded old man nced at the amount, nodded slightly, and said, "A teachable young man. Since you are so sincere, I will help you onest time. Who among you two will write this time?"


    Wen Rou kept waving her hands, saying, "Actually, I just want to know if my parents are still in this world, if they love me¡ªthat''s all I really care about. Little Fei, you go ahead!"


    Without any hesitation, Yan Fei grabbed a pen and a piece of paper, thought for a moment, wrote down his question, and then folded the paper, pushing it towards the white-bearded old man. The old man unfolded the paper to take a look, then pushed it back to him. He opened the drawer under the table, reached in again, and pulled out an envelope, handing it to Yan Fei.


    Yan Fei was astounded. He had just carefully observed the drawer below; after Old Man Gu had taken out two envelopes, it was empty¡ªthere was nothing. How could another envelope appear now? He had been paying close attention to the drawer, and the curtain around it had been torn away by him. So, it was impossible for the envelope to be secretly written and ced there by someone under the table, and with Yan Fei''s watchful eye, it was impossible for anyone to slip the envelope in quietly. Thus, the appearance of this envelope was quite mysterious.


    As Yan Fei was secretly shocked, suddenly, a bunch of sparks erupted from wires in the distant market, a short circuit had urred, and instantly, all the market lights went out, plunging the surroundings into darkness. Yan Fei quickly grabbed the little hand of Wen Rou beside him and said, "Little Rou, don''t be afraid, I''m right here."


    The sudden darkness made Wen Rou somewhat scared; her body trembled slightly, but as Yan Fei held her hand, she regained herposure. After the electrical short circuit, the backup power supply quickly started, and within a matter of seconds, the market''s power was restored, and the lights came back on, returning light to the surroundings.


    Yan Fei had taken hold of Wen Rou''s hand in the darkness, and even when the lights came back on, he did not let go. Wen Rou blushed slightly but did not break free.


    When Yan Fei looked forward again, he found that Old Man Gu had disappeared into thin air, and even his simple stall had vanished. Had it not been for Old Man Gu leaving behind so many shocks, Yan Fei might have doubted whether the old man had ever existed.


    Wen Rou also noticed that Old Man Gu was gone, and confusedly said, "Strange, how did the old man disappear all of a sudden?"


    Yan Fei was stunned on the inside. He picked up the envelope in his hand, pulled out a folded piece of paper, and found it was actually a map of China, a map he was most familiar with. On the map, a circle had been drawn with a pencil over the ocean on the eastern side of China, epassing territories of China, South Korea, North Korea, and even some parts of the North Pacific Ocean, with the words written on it, "Development opportunity lies within these waters!"


    Yan Fei picked up the piece of paper with his written question and saw it read, "Where lies my future development direction?" n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    At this point, Yan Fei couldn''t help but believe in Old Man Gu''s abilities. He sighed with admiration, this Old Man Gu was indeed a remarkable person with the ability to forecast the future. Yan Fei deeply regretted missing the chance to further connect with such an astonishing individual!


    After this trip to the market, the rtionship between Yan Fei and Wen Rou had grown much closer. Sometimes Wen Rou woulde to Yan Fei for updates about domestic affairs in China. Yan Fei was very happy to share the information with her, sparking Wen Rou''s desire to return to China for a visit.


    One day, Yan Fei took time off to explore upstream along the small river in the Aywei Vige. The river was clear and only contained small fish, with no ferocious beasts nearby. Yan Fei was greatly relieved¡ªfor if there were ferocious man-eating beasts, he might have been devoured while unconscious before even meeting Wen Rou and her medical team!


    Yan Fei followed the river upstream and walked more than fifty kilometers before reaching the source of the river. The source was a huge deep pool with an astonishingly high waterfall, where one could not see the end of the waterfall from the deep pool below. The waterfall was abundant with water, and the colossal flow created a deafening roar as it converged into the deep pool below.


    Upon seeing the terrain, Yan Fei was sure this waterfall was the same one he had seen from the cliff. That night, he was attacked by missiles, and jumping off the cliff at thest moment, his lucky survival was due tonding in the deep pool below. He then floated downstream along the river, which led to Wen Rou finding him.


    Yan Fei observed the waterfall and noticed that although the cliff walls had been smoothed by the waterfall, small trees and nts were growing out of the crevices in the rocks. Yan Fei tidied up his clothes and then began to climb up.


    After that night''s life-and-death battle, Yan Fei had a deeper understanding of how to use his inner strength. Thanks to his considerable strength and the fact it was daytime, he climbed up the cliff with ease, navigating rocks and small trees skillfully¡ªhis agility outshining that of climbing monkeys.


    Quickly, Yan Fei passed through the cloud blockade in the air and climbed up to the top of the cliff. Only then did he realize that the cliff hadpletely changed its appearance. After the missile attack, the entire cliff had copsed, and even the hard rocks were sted into pieces. This forced Yan Fei to marvel at the astonishing power of the US Army''s missiles. It was fortunate that he had made the split-second decision to jump off the cliff; otherwise, he would have been pulverized by the missile attack.


    Yan Fei did not see the body of the blonde woman at the site. Her body must have also been destroyed in the missile attack. If it weren''t for the traces of dried red blood found nearby, no one would have imagined that a person had been killed here.


    This was the battlefield where Yan Fei had fought a series of fierce battles with the US Army. He dared not take it lightly and cautiously retraced the route he took while chasing the blonde woman. It was daytime now, and he could clearly see the massive destruction caused by the drone attack that night. Under the attack of the powerful 30 millimeter naval cannon and various missiles, the primitive jungle was filled with huge craters, and even somerge ancient trees were uprooted.


    This was the first time Yan Fei had witnessed the power of a drone during the daytime, and he was immediately given a more direct impression of the power of high-tech weapons.


    Yan Fei advanced stealthily. Although he could still find scenes of destruction caused by the drones, the bodies of the American soldiers killed by the drones had long vanished without a trace. Even the wreckage of the US military aircraft that had fallen in the nearby area had disappearedpletely. It seemed that in the time Yan Fei had been knocked out and was helping with Doctors Without Borders, the US Army had cleaned up the battlefield and recovered all of their equipment, leaving nothing valuable behind.


    However, Yan Fei''s purpose in returning to the battlefield was not for the US Army''s equipment; he was there to find the little chimpanzee he had hidden in a cave.


    The little chimpanzee''s parents had attacked the blonde woman while Yan Fei was being pursued, which had led to a reversal in strength between the blonde woman and Yan Fei. One could say those two chimpanzees were Yan Fei''s lifesavers. Unfortunately, they wereter killed by the blonde woman, which could be considered an indirect result of Yan Fei''s actions, so he felt obligated to take care of the offspring of the two chimpanzees. Even if he couldn''t raise the little chimpanzee himself, he wanted to send it to a zoo where it could survive.


    After all, the little chimpanzee was extremely small, possibly not even weaned yet. If the situation hadn''t been so dire at the time, Yan Fei wouldn''t have hidden it in the cave.


    Yan Fei quickly found the cave based on his memory, but to his shock, he discovered that the cave had copsed. He rushed forward to check and found that the cave entrance was sealed by huge boulders that had fallen from above, making it impossible to enter.


    Yan Fei was puzzled. The cave had been formed by an explosion, and it was all made of hard rock¡ªit shouldn''t have copsed. Moreover, after the battle that night, his Drone Avatar had eliminated the US soldiers and left, and the cave had been intact at that time, so how could it copse? Could it be that the US Army had blown up the cave while cleaning up the battlefieldter?


    Unable to figure it out, Yan Fei searched around the cave for a while but still found no sign of the little chimpanzee. With no other choice, he reluctantly left. Under these circumstances, the little chimpanzee was surely dead, and Yan Fei felt powerless to change this oue.


    Having not found the little chimpanzee, Yan Fei could only return to the temporary hospital of Doctors Without Borders with regret. Then, he started trying to use a satellite phone from a nearby town to contact Lu Pingping back in China to see if anything could be done for the chimpanzees in Africa aspensation for his guilt.


    However, when Yan Fei got in touch with Lu Pingping, he received shocking news. A factory worker had secretly stolen the entire manufacturing process of the weight loss cookies from his food processing nt and had now disappeared.


    Lu Pingping had been frantic over this matter these past few days. With Yan Fei having traveled to Africa and been out of contact, there had been no way to inform him of the incident. Now that Yan Fei had called back using a satellite phone, Lu Pingping informed him of the unexpected incident at Dream Foods.


    Yan Fei was taken aback. He had anticipated that someone would covet the trade secret of his weight loss cookies, but he had not expected them to act so quickly.


    The real secret of the weight loss cookies, however, was not the apparent production process but his own concocted slimming liquid. Even if the other party obtained the manufacturing process for the cookies, they would not be able to produce weight loss cookies with any slimming effect. But Lu Pingping was unaware of this and thought the production process had been leaked, causing her immense distress.


    Yan Fei''s rtionship with Wen Rou had been progressing recently. He was ready to strike while the iron was hot and establish their feelings for each other when the domestic issue arose.


    Yan Fei was not an insensitive person. Although it was only a fake manufacturing process that had been stolen, he still had to go back to China to handle the affairs, at least to keep up appearances. Thus, he had to bid Wen Rou farewell and then hurry back to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, to urgently book a flight back to Shanghai.

 Chapter 78 Chapter 61: The Massive Conspiracy

    78 Chapter 61: The Massive Conspiracy


    Yan Fei returned to the hotel in Kenya where he had been staying and discovered that no one had entered his room, as the several markers he had secretly ced were all still intact. It seemed that the room service staff was trustworthy. Therefore, when checking out, Yan Fei rewarded the staff with a thick stack of RMB, making them dance with joy.


    While waiting at the airport, Yan Fei browsed the Kenyan news and saw reports about a battle at the Kenya Museum. The reports said several forces had engaged in battle at the Kenya Museum for unknown reasons; the fighting was intense and involved many light and heavy weapons. Not only did the warring parties suffer heavy casualties, but the Kenya Museum was also leveled during thebat. In the end, the Kenyan authorities didn''t even know who thebatants were.


    Yan Fei''s heart stirred and he hastily checked the date, realizing that this melee urred shortly after he had been tracking Sam, who stole the rusted gear. At that time, he was engaged in intensebat with a blonde woman. It seemed that the discoverer of the rusted gear was not only himself, the Americans, or Captain China, but there must have been other forces involved as well.


    However, these people or forces were destined to be disappointed because theirte arrival meant that the object of their attention would be nourishment for the Drone Avatar''s upgrade and would never appear in this world again. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After wrapping up his affairs in Kenya, Yan Fei began to shift his focus back to domestic matters.


    Before the airne took off from Kenya Airport, and after dusk had settled, Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar began its journey from Kenyan territorial waters, flying low over the sea surface towards Shanghai. After flying for five hours and reaching the vicinity of the Andaman Inds in the Indian Ocean, the drone''s Energy Points were nearly depleted. Under Yan Fei''s control, the drone submerged to the seabed to await the data refresh at 12 midnight local time.


    That very night, Yan Fei''s flight also took off from Nairobi Airport. On the ne, he closely monitored the time, and when it reached 12 midnight in Nairobi, the Drone Data began to refresh.


    Yan Fei found it strange that while he was on the ne, which was flying eastward and had already crossed the 12 midnight time zone of his location, his drone did not refresh its data when he just passed the 12 midnight time zone but waited until it was 12 midnight in Nairobi to do so. What was the basis for this data refresh timing?


    After much thought, Yan Fei had a guess: while he was still in the air, the data refresh timing was calcted ording to the time zone of his departure location, but once hended, the time standard for judgment switched to local time. This shattered his hope of exploiting the rules to grant his drone unlimited energy.


    However, Yan Fei had too little data to know if his judgment was urate. But as long as he took a few more flights and recorded the data several times, he should be able to deduce the pattern.


    The Drone Data had refreshed, restoring the Energy Points to 100,000, so under Yan Fei''s control, the drone set off again. It emerged from the sea surface and began to fly back to Shanghai along its original route. However, while crossing the Kra Isthmus on the Mysia Penins, Yan Fei was more cautious to avoid exposing the drone''s location. Fortunately, it was deep night, and though the drone encountered several dangerous situations, it finally managed to cross the Mysia Penins safely and entered the Gulf of Thand. Then the drone continued northward along the South China Sea towards Shanghai.


    With the experience from the first flight, the Drone Assisted Intelligent Brain had recorded detailed terrain maps of the oceans it had traversed, so the second flight sessfully avoided hazardous areas. Not only did this increase the Flight Speed of the drone, but it also significantly reduced the waste of Energy Points. As a result, while the outbound journey required two data refreshes, the return journey needed only one refresh toplete.


    Thus, while Yan Fei traveled by airne in the sky, the drone flew stealthily at low altitude above the sea surface. When Yan Fei''s airnended at Shanghai Airport the next morning, the drone also just returned to the waters near Shanghai; its Energy Points were nearly exhausted. The drone then submerged to stand by, awaiting the next data refresh.


    As soon as Yan Fei disembarked from the ne, Lu Pingping, who hade to pick him up, hurried him into the car. In the car, Pingping didn''t ask Yan Fei about the specifics of his trip to Africa but anxiously recounted the details of the leak incident to him.


    A week earlier, a night-shift worker had sneaked into the control center of the Dream Foods Processing Factory, knocked out the security personnel, and copied all the data for the manufacturing process of the weight loss cookies.


    Yan Fei and Lu Pingping had previously considered the possibility of trade secret theft and had already Enhanced the protection of the control center''s data and Security Work against external invasions. However, this security focused on external threats, and they hadn''t yet considered the possibility of internal breaches. After all, at the beginning, theyrgely trusted their own staff.


    Unknown to them, among these production workers was a Spy sent by others. The spy struck from within, using the most direct acts of violence to crack the security measures of the Factory. Therefore, under the assumption that Yan Fei and Lu Pingping hadn''t considered violent methods, the manufacturing process of the most popr weight loss cookies was ultimately leaked.

 Chapter 79 Chapter 61 Great Conspiracy_2

    79 Chapter 61 Great Conspiracy_2


    Lu Pingping quickly learned the unfortunate news, but by that time, Yan Fei was in the isted African continent andpletely unreachable. With no other options, Lu Pingping could only choose to report to the police.


    However, when the police arrived at the home of the Commercial Spy, they found that it was already empty, and the Commercial Spy was nowhere to be found. Further investigations into the registration data the Spy left behind when applying revealed that all the information provided was false. Nevertheless, the Personnel Department''s workers had verified this person''s data online, and at the time of verification, they had no issues with the Spy''s information, which is why the Human Resources Department agreed to hire this Commercial Spy as an employee of the Company. Little did they know it would lead to such a scandal.


    And just five days ago, rumors of Dream Foods'' theft of Nutritional biscuits manufacturing process had already set the Inte abuzz. To minimize the adverse effects on the Company, Lu Pingping did not publicize the issue beyond reporting to the Police Department, whom she urged repeatedly not to leak any information about the investigation, ensuring it was conducted in strict confidentiality.


    Now that the Inte was in an uproar over the incident, it was clear someone had leaked the information, making that person highly suspicious.


    Some of the national Agents previously selected by the Company had already called to inquire about the incident, subtly suggesting the possibility of canceling their Weight Loss Cookies Agency Agreement and seeking a refund of their security deposit.


    At the same time, various rumors began to circte online. Several verified ounts and experts emerged, criticizing the Weight Loss Cookies as utterly unscientific, iming they depleted various human functions, creating an illusion of rapid weight loss, and posed significant harm to human health. They warned consumers who had eaten the cookies to be cautious about their health.


    Other experts warned consumers that the biscuits contained prohibited substances and that long-term use could have severe side effects, potentially increasing the risk of high-risk diseases such as heart disease and hypertension. For the sake of public health, they called on the government to confiscate the Weight Loss Cookies and cease their sale on the market.


    Yet another expertmented on the exorbitant price of the Weight Loss Cookies, suggesting they were nothing more than a lump of flour, and criticized the merchants for having no conscience and making a fortune off the consumers.


    There were even verified ount users iming to be consumers who testified that although they had sessfully lost weight using the Weight Loss Cookies, their weight rebounded immediately, and they ended up heavier than before.


    Some experts also questioned the fact that China had no high technology and imed that Dream Foods had stolen thetest technology from overseaspanies, alleging that Dream Foods was about to facewsuits from thesepanies...


    Amidst these indistinguishable true and false rumors, sales of the Weight Loss Cookies began to suffer greatly, with even some consumers demanding refunds. Although, to this point, the impact on consumers wasn''t enough to copse the product, if left unaddressed, the rumors would be catastrophic for the Weight Loss Cookies.


    After listening to Lu Pingping''s briefing on the situation the Company was facing, Yan Fei instantly understood that his Company had fallen into a vast conspiracy. His Company could sell a maximum of 50,000 boxes of Weight Loss Cookies a day, which tranted to an ie of one hundred million a day, averaging out to 36.5 billion a year. And that was just the Domestic market, not even ounting for the vast International Market.


    It''s known that Developed countries have more obese patients and stronger purchasing power. Once Yan Fei sessfully prated the enormous International Market with the Weight Loss Cookies, the profit would be astronomical. Dream Foods could grow into a major International Company solely on the strength of the Weight Loss Cookies product, bing a massive multinational corporate group.


    Yan Fei quickly grasped the crux of the entire incident, but he was not worried at all. That''s because the behind-the-scenes organization would not be able to produce simr Weight Loss Cookies. What made the cookies effective was the Slimming liquid quietly mixed inside. Without the Slimming liquid, the Nutritional biscuits would lose their main function and at best would only fill one''s stomach.

    Such immense benefits could drive certain individuals and Enterprises to desperate actions, which meant the predicament Dream Foods faced was undoubtedly being manipted by someone behind the scenes, aiming to target Dream Foods.


    Yan Fei had anticipated such a situation and had prepared some contingency ns, but he hadn''t expected the situation to be even moreplex and the opposing Forces evenrger. He could be certain that the Commercial Spy was definitely assigned by some organization or hired by someone else to infiltrate his Company, steal the Weight Loss Cookie process data, and then disappear, delivering the data back to the organization or Forces behind it.


    The organization or Forces behind the Commercial Spy, once in possession of the Weight Loss Cookies'' manufacturing process, would certainly want to produce this product and seize the Market Share that rightfully belonged to Dream Foods. The fastest way to capture the Market would undoubtedly be to undermine from within, which meant they would have approached Dream Foods'' Agents, using the Agents'' strength to rece their products. To achieve this goal, they would have promised the Agents more favorable conditions, such as reduced or waived down payments, or lower product supply prices to give the Agents greater benefits.


    The sudden appearance of those rumors online was very likely disseminated by this organization or Force, aiming to damage Dream Foods and then release their simr products to seize the Market. Through the experts'' voices, they even criticized the high prices of Dream Foods'' Weight Loss Cookies, indicating that they were ready to abandon high pricing, utilizing a price-dumping strategy to provide profits to consumers while attacking Dream Foods'' cookies.


    Yan Fei quickly grasped the crux of the entire incident, but he was not worried at all. That''s because the behind-the-scenes organization would not be able to produce simr Weight Loss Cookies. What made the cookies effective was the Slimming liquid quietly mixed inside. Without the Slimming liquid, the Nutritional biscuits would lose their main function and at best would only fill one''s stomach.


    Even the delicious taste of the Nutritional biscuits was something they couldn''t replicate. Under the precise experimentation of the Auxiliary Brain, the Slimming liquid had to be urately mixed with flour to produce such vor. Without the integration of Slimming liquid, the taste of the Weight Loss Cookies would be terrible, even nauseating, and significantly different from their own product.


    Seeing Lu Pingping''s worried expression, Yan Fei was somewhat moved. Lu Pingping had taken the Company''s matters as her own, working as if she owned shares in the Company, even though she was just an annually sried employee. Hiring her was the most correct decision he had made in his life. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om

    80 Chapter 62 Two Choices


    Yan Fei knew the real secret of the Weight Loss Cookies hadn''t been leaked, and he began to reassure Lu Pingping, saying, "Pingping, I''m aware of what you''ve mentioned. However, the situation isn''t as bad as you think. I had anticipated the possibility of a leak, so I made some modifications to the production line. There''s a critical piece of equipment that I''ve kept secret, so you don''t need to worry about our trade secrets being revealed. I''m certain that no one else in the world, other than us, is capable of producing cookies with the same weight loss effects."


    After all, Lu Pingping was a business management talent and not very familiar with the production process of products like Weight Loss Cookies. Initially thinking the leak was a theft of secrets, she was relieved upon hearing Yan Fei''s exnation, and seeing his calm demeanor, her doubts slowly subsided. If the trade secrets were to leak while under her watch during Yan Fei''s absence, Lu Pingping would regret it for life.


    Yan Fei, too, felt a bit embarrassed because for security reasons he hadn''t informed Lu Pingping about the special modifications on the production line, inadvertently causing her undue worry. He felt it was necessary to exin to Lu Pingping, so he said, "Pingping, regarding that equipment..."


    Lu Pingping quickly interrupted him, saying, "Don''t tell me about the equipment. If I knew, it could lead to a leak of the secrets. If I were aware of the details, I wouldn''t appear as tense as I am now, which could easily expose us and we might lose the initiative to counterattack."


    Yan Fei was secretly moved. Though Lu Pingping hadn''t contacted him for several years, their bond was still strong, and he could fully trust her. She was his most reliable coborator.


    Lu Pingping may not have been a genius, but her IQ was somewhat higher than Yan Fei''s. If Yan Fei kept this matter secret from her, then it truly had to be kept confidential; otherwise, given their rtionship, Yan Fei would certainly not have hidden it from her.


    Considering this, Lu Pingping smartly refrained from asking what exactly Yan Fei had done to the production line. She was self-aware that her strengthsy in business management, not technology. All she needed to do was to manage thepany''s development well, leaving technical aspects to Yan Fei.


    Once Lu Pingping learned the truth, she was no longer as anxious as before and said, "Now that there''s no issue with the product, I feel relieved. I''m preparing to counter the various situations facing the Company, and I need your help and support."


    Yan Fei replied, "You are the expert in this area, you make the ns! I''llpletely follow your arrangements."


    Lu Pingping shared, "Some Agents from several provinces havee to the Company seeking a return of their deposits and a dissolution of our partnership. I n to agree to their demands and terminate our coborations with them."


    Yan Fei nodded, saying, "The reason we abandoned the Inte sales model and switched to a regional agent system was to align more forces with us, creating amunity of shared destiny to support each other in critical moments. Since they are showing signs of retreat at this time, it indicates they are fair-weather friends, not truly aligned with us, and it''s necessary to let them go and find new Agents instead."


    Lu Pingping continued, "When our Weight Loss Cookies were first introduced to the Market, we were in a rush to seize it and didn''t scrutinize the Agents'' credit information sufficiently, leading to a mix of good and bad among the first batch of Agents. They''ve turned on us at the first sign of trouble and also became targets for others trying to undermine us. We''ll use this opportunity to screen the Agents. Those who want to leave can go; those who stay to weather the storm with us will be the focus of our attention and get listed as strategic coborators. Once removed from our partnership roster, they''ll enter our cklist, never to cooperate with us again."


    Yan Fei nodded, expressing his approval of Lu Pingping''s handling of the situation and asked, "What about the rumors being spread by verified ounts and experts on the Inte? What''s your n for them?"


    Lu Pingping answered, "Regarding the experts and verified ounts that are spreading rumors, we will sue them in court. No matter the cost or time it takes, we will have them convicted while inviting more renowned experts and national authoritative institutions to conduct quality tests on our products. We aim to prove to consumers that our products are not toxic, do not contain any banned substances, won''t cause weight rebound after sessful weight loss, and don''t steal technology from foreignpanies."


    Yan Fei agreed, responding, "In the face of rumors, we must present the most authoritative exnations and evidence, not cover-ups. Only by being transparent can we gain the consumers'' trust."


    Lu Pingping stated, "During this incident, the government departments of Shanghai have shown their concern for us. They were not swayed by the online experts'' rumors and have unequivocally supported us. Whether it''s tax, fire safety, or other government Management departments, no one sought to trouble us at this Critical moment, showing us substantial support."


    Yan Fei mentioned, "There were cases of collusion between officials and businessmen in China in the past, with government excessively interfering in enterprise operations, actually leading to bankruptcies. But today''s government truly wants to improve national development, to strengthen Domestic Enterprises and help them venture out into the World. It''s only natural they would support genuinely capablepanies, and it also proves that our decision to register the Company in Shanghai was absolutely correct."


    Lu Pingping agreed with Yan Fei''s opinion, adding, "This leakage incident has shown that ourpany''s security protocols and Security forces still have issues. Therefore, I hope our next steps can involve Enhanced security forces and security system development."


    Yan Fei replied, "Leave the security and confidentiality to me. I will hire more Security Personnel and design more meticulous protection measures to ensure such infiltration incidents never happen again."


    Before they had made it back to thepany, they had already hammered out thepany''s future direction while in the car. It must be said that their efficiency was quite high, which was the convenience of Yan Fei having full control of the shares. If there were other shareholders in thepany, having to discuss and meet with everyone, it might take ten days to half a month to finalize a charter, by which time the opportunity would have been lost.


    The car arrived at thepany headquarters, and Yan Fei and Lu Pingping went up to the 18th floor. As soon as they entered the general office, they saw Lu Pingping''s secretary walking out of her office, her face flushed with shame and anger, followed by several disheveled security guards carrying an injured person.


    Lu Pingping was furious and shouted, "Liu Tingting, what are you doing? And you guys, what happened to you?"


    In front of Yan Fei, Lu Pingping was very casual, showing signs of closeness, but at thepany, she was rather aloof, causing the employees to be somewhat afraid of her. This management style also increased her prestige among the staff. So when she saw the disarray of her secretary and the security personnel, she couldn''t help but reprimand them angrily.


    Upon seeing her immediate supervisor and thepany boss, Liu Tingting rushed over with tears in her eyes and said, "Boss, Mr. Lu, you''re finally back. Some people came to Mr. Lu''s office, they forced their way in, looking for Mr. Lu. I told them Mr. Lu wasn''t in, and was about to ask the security brothers to show them out, but they not only refused to leave but also verbally insulted me. Captain Huang tried to defend me and said a few words to them, but they ended up beating him severely, and these other security guys got injured by them too."


    Yan Fei nced over and realized the injured man being carried out was their own security captain, Huang Desheng. Huang Desheng was a simple and honest middle-aged man who worked diligently, treating thepany''s security as his highest goal. But now, he had been beaten unconscious, his face distorted, with blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth.


    Yan Fei was filled with anger. He strode forward, pushed open the door to Lu Pingping''s office, and saw several young men sitting leisurely on the couches. One of them was even sitting in Lu Pingping''s chair, legs propped up on the desk in front. They were chatting unconstrainedly, bursting intoughter from time to time. Behind the person in Lu Pingping''s chair stood two robust middle-aged men, who seemed to be the bodyguards Liu Tingting had mentioned.


    The two robust middle-aged men were especially vignt. Upon seeing Yan Fei enter, they immediately turned their heads and looked at him with a guarded expression in their eyes.


    Lu Pingping followed Yan Fei into the office, and upon seeing the man sitting in her chair, she was somewhat surprised and asked, "Yang Song, why is it you? What are you doing here?" N?v(el)B\\jnn


    The young man named Yang Song promptly put his feet down from the desk, looked at Lu Pingping with a smile, and said, "Pingping, I didn''t expect you to really be a general manager. It seems quite fitting. By the way, is this the legendary boyfriend of yours?"


    The several young men beside him stood up respectfully upon seeing Lu Pingping and said, "Sister Pingping!"


    Lu Pingping nced at Yan Fei but before she could speak, Yan Fei stepped forward, took a seat in front of the young man named Yang Song, and looked at him coldly, saying, "Didn''t your mother teach you? When you arrive at someone else''s home, you knock and wait for the owner''s permission to enter. Otherwise, you''re a thief, and the owner has the right to kick you out."


    Yang Song''s entourage was infuriated, ready to swarm Yan Fei, but were stopped by Yang Song, who said, "An insolent upstart on the brink of bankruptcy dares to speak to me like this; you really don''t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth."


    Lu Pingping said, "Yang Song, leave. Whatever reason you have foring here, you''re not wee."


    Yang Songughed and said, "Pingping, you have always rejected my advances, iming you already have a boyfriend. But that boyfriend of yours is such a mystery, I thought he was someone remarkable, but it turns out he''s just an unremarkable-looking hotheaded youth."


    Yan Fei did not know why Yang Song took him for Lu Pingping''s boyfriend, but since Lu Pingping had not spoken, he could not deny it, lest she lose face. He bypassed the issue and coldly extended two fingers, stating, "I don''t care who you are, you''ve done such a thing in mypany, so I''ll give you two choices. First, you kneel and apologize to my security captain and secretary, then leave behind a sum representative of your sincerity aspensation and sustenance money, and you can leave here safely."


    Yang Song looked dazed. Looking at Yan Fei, he suddenly burst into loudughter, with the young men beside him joining in. Pointing at Yan Fei, Yang Song said to the others, "This kid really is clueless..."


    Yan Fei did notugh, instead he continued, "The second choice is that I throw you out from the 18th floor, and leave your fate to heaven, assuming you can even apologize to my staff."

 Chapter 81 Chapter 63: Thunderbolt Means

    81 Chapter 63: Thunderbolt Means


    Listening to Yan Fei''s two choices, Yang Song sneered and snapped his fingers. A robust middle-aged man behind him stood out, ring fiercely at Yan Fei.


    Yan Fei ignored the middle-aged man. He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looking down at the street below. Then, suddenly, he grabbed the chair beneath him and smashed it hard against the window. A crisp sound was heard as the ss shattered to pieces, with fragments falling downwards. This window faced inward, overlooking a hugewn with no one around, so no one was hurt by the falling debris.


    Everyone in the room was stunned, not understanding what Yan Fei was up to. They watched as Yan Fei swung the chair, knocking out the remaining shards of the broken window. With no ss to obstruct it, a strong wind blew in from outside, causing papers to fly chaotically around the office.


    Yan Fei turned around, looking coldly at Yang Song and said, "I''ll give you ten seconds to decide how you''ll leave this ce. After ten seconds, I will make the second choice for you."


    Enraged, Yang Song gave a signal, and two robust middle-aged men rushed forward to seize Yan Fei. Yan Fei took a firm stance, his fists shooting out rapidly, striking the chests of the two men with lightning speed. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Simultaneously, everyone in the room heard two "crack" noises, watching as the two middle-aged men were sent flying backward as if hit by a truck. They then smashed heavily against the room''s wall with a loud impact, mixed with the sound of breaking bones.


    The two middle-aged men were stered against the wall like a painting, and after a while, they slowly slid down andy on the floor motionless, their condition unknown. A long streak of blood was left on the wall, looking both gruesome and eerie.


    With his first move, Yan Fei had knocked out Yang Song''s two bodyguards, leaving their fates uncertain, and demonstrated his formidable strength. The young men present were dumbstruck, having seen Yan Fei''s taekwondo fight videos before their arrival but underestimating his skills since they did not think highly of taekwondo. They hadn''t expected that since that fight, Yan Fei''s strength had skyrocketed again, and now, after his life-or-death battles in Africa, it had more than doubled. With this disy of immensebat power, he had entirely stunned the group of youths.


    Lu Pingping stood by, watching. Her face showed varying shades of admiration. She knew that Yan Fei had started practicing martial arts recently and seemed quite formidable, but she had not anticipated him being this powerful, taking out Yang Song''s two bodyguards with a single move. She often saw these bodyguards by Yang Song''s side; they were exceptional in their abilities and had resolved many issues for him. Yet they were utterly defenseless against Yan Fei, as powerless as infants.


    21:29


    The other employees from thepany, gathered outside the room, were thrilled to see Yan Fei effortlessly take down the opponent''s bodyguards, feeling proud of their boss''s prowess.


    Yan Fei paid no attention to the two middle-aged bodyguards lying on the floor and turned his gaze to Yang Song. Seeing Yan Fei''s ferocious look, Yang Song shuddered, and as he was about to utter some cating words, his vision blurred. Yan Fei''s figure had suddenly disappeared, and Yang Song felt himself being grabbed before his world turned upside down. Below, he saw the distant street andwn, as a gust of wind swept by.


    Effortlessly, Yan Fei had knocked down Yang Song and then, with one hand, lifted his leg, pulling him out of the window to dangle outside. Clearing the ss from the window had been to facilitate Yang Song''s upside-down suspension.


    Yan Fei''s expression was nk as he slowly raised his arm, holding Yang Song''s leg aloft with one hand. He said, "The ten seconds are up, and now it''s time for me to make a choice for you."


    That was when Yang Song''s friends, recovering from their shock, saw him being held by one foot outside the window, bing terrified. One of the young men turned back and shouted, "Sister Pingping, help! Stop him, Yang Song can''t have an ident!"


    Lu Pingping snorted coldly but remained silent.


    Another young man blurted out, "Yan Fei, stop it right now! Do you know who Yang Song''s father is? You can''t afford to provoke the Yang Family..."


    Seeing his friendse to his support, Yang Song, hanging upside down, finally snapped out of his initial panic, shouting, "Yan Fei, let me down! If anything happens to me, your whole family will die."


    Yan Fei remained expressionless and replied, "I gave you a choice, but you gave it up. So now I''m choosing the path ahead for you."


    In Africa, Yan Fei had wrought havoc, relying mainly on the terrifying capabilities of his Drone Avatar, but his own demeanor carried a certain deadly aura as well. The words spoken by him sent chills down one''s spine.


    Yang Song, still oblivious to the danger, threatened loudly, "Yan, I swear, I will destroy yourpany..."


    Before Yang Song could finish his sentence, Yan Fei released the leg he was holding. Suddenly without support, Yang Song began to fall. With a scream, all his pride vanished, and he shrieked desperately, "No, I apologize... please..."


    Yan Fei''s right hand darted down like lightning, catching Yang Song as he plummeted.


    Yang Song, who had not expected Yan Fei to be so brazen and impervious to threats, felt terrified as his life shed before his eyes, thinking his end was near and pleading for mercy. Fortunately, Yan Fei had heard his cries just in time to reach out and catch him again, or else he would have met a grim fate.


    Yang Song was once again grabbed by the foot by Yan Fei, and was immediately so terrified that his soul almost left his body, losing control of both his dder and bowels simultaneously. Because he was hanging upside down, the urine flowed back through his clothes, into his mouth¡­


    With a forceful pull, Yan Fei yanked Yang Song in from outside the floor-to-ceiling window and threw him onto the ground.


    Yang Song, having gone through this ordeal, was so scared that he was not in his right mind. Even after the upside-down ordeal had ended, and Yan Fei threw him onto the ground, he continued to wail, not knowing what he was yelling about with a yellowish unidentified liquid dribbling from his mouth. His fewpanions quickly crowded around him, helped Yang Song to his feet, and prepared to leave with him.


    Yan Fei sneered and said, "If you don''t want to choose the second option, you know what to do, right?"


    It was then that Yang Song finally came to his senses. He red fiercely at Yan Fei but was startled by the cold expression on Yan Fei''s face. He hesitated for a moment but still bowed to the injured Captain Huang and Li Tingting and apologized. Yan Fei had demanded kneeling, but Yang Song absolutely could not bring himself to kneel to others. He sneaked a nce at Yan Fei, and seeing that Yan Fei did not reject his bow, he let out a sigh of relief.


    Then one of Yang Song''spanions contacted the Company''s finance department and transferred one million yuan aspensation for Captain Huang''s medical and nutrition expenses. Only then did they get Yan Fei''s permission to leave the premises dejectedly. As they left, at Yan Fei''s reminder, Yang Song and hispanions still carried the two knocked-out bodyguards with them.


    Once Yan Fei returned to the Office, he took swift and decisive action against the trouble-making young master and demonstrated his immense personal charm. The Company employees looked at him with pure admiration in their eyes. Following Lu Pingping''s orders, Captain Huang and the injured security guards were all sent to the best Hospital in Shanghai for treatment.


    Only then did Yan Fei have the time to ask Lu Pingping what had happened.


    Lu Pingping appeared somewhat frustrated as she told Yan Fei that Yang Song was the eldest son of the Yang Family of Beijing, a bona fide second-generation rich kid. His father, Yang Liu, was a famous entrepreneur in China with extensive influence.


    Lu Pingping had previously worked as a senior executive in a top 500 Enterprise in the Empire. She had caught Yang Song''s eye by chance, who immediately saw her as a goddess and embarked on a frenzied pursuit. But Lu Pingping already had someone in her heart, disregarded Yang Song''s pursuit, and made her stance clear; however, Yang Song did not give up and continued to pester her under the pretense of business talks.


    Due to certain reasons, Yan Fei hadn''t searched for information about Lu Pingping on the Inte after they had parted ways, so he was utterly unaware of how famous she had be in Beijing over the years. In business circles of Beijing, Lu Pingping was hailed as amercial prodigy with an extensivework of connections. Even though Yang Song pursued her, he never dared to force her, and hispanions were even more impressed by her capabilities, greeting her respectfully as "Sister Pingping!" whenever they saw her.


    Later, Lu Pingping left Beijing and returned to Shanghai. Because she kept a low profile, Yang Song couldn''t find her trail. It was only after the incident with the Weight Loss Cookies blew up and her information was leaked that Yang Song managed to track her down.


    Yang Song, seeing Yan Fei and Lu Pingping starting a business together, assumed that Yan Fei was Lu Pingping''s boyfriend, which led to a huge misunderstanding and even a lesson from Yan Fei, causing him to lose face.


    After hearing Lu Pingping''s exnation, Yan Fei understood precisely who Yang Song was. While the Yang Family''s Strength was formidable, Yan Fei didn''t take them to heart. Once his own business truly expanded and grew strong, it would certainly not be inferior to the Yang Family of Beijing. Besides, he had the Drone''s Auxiliary Brain and Technology Analysis for creating ck Technology. As long as he continued to develop ck Technology, his future goal was not to overpower the Yang Family, but the entire World.


    Yan Fei, also a bit curious, asked, "Weren''t you afraid that I would actually throw Yang Song down from here? You didn''t even try to stop me."


    Lu Pingping smiled and answered, "I know your character well, you wouldn''t throw him down in front of so many people. At most, you were just scaring him. Since there was no real danger, why would I stop you?"


    Yan Fei was taken aback, then suddenly burst intoughter. He and Lu Pingping had been ssmates for four years. Lu Pingping understood him very thoroughly, even better than he understood himself. Indeed, he had no intention of killing Yang Song in front of everyone. Even if he ultimately let an uncooperative Yang Song go, he would privately find a way to deal with him. Although Lu Pingping understood him, she knew only the person he had been before; since getting the Drone Avatar, he couldn''t tolerate any threat to himself, and he was determined to eliminate all those who threatened him.


    Lu Pingping said seriously, "This Yang Song is a Straw bag, not worth the attention, but you should be careful of his father. His father, Yang Liu, is known for his ruthlessness. He would do anything for profit, even at the cost of selling out the interests of Chinese Enterprises, so you must be careful with him."


    Yan Fei nodded; he had heard of this Yang Liu before, a man without scruples who only looked for profit. For the sake of profit, he would betray not just his teammates but even the country. Yan Fei wondered how this guy was able to grow his business domestically. If he targeted Yan Fei''s Company, Yan Fei would really have to consider his options. However, knowing that a confrontation with Yang Liu was inevitable, he had no regrets about what happened today.


    Lu Pingping also seemed worried and said, "Fei, it''s all my fault. If it weren''t for me, you wouldn''t have had a conflict with Yang Song."


    Yan Fei waved his hand dismissively andughed, "Let''s not talk about this between us. Your matters are my matters. Besides, ever since we met, it has always been you helping me out of trouble. Today, I was able to help you, and it''s only fair."

 Chapter 82 Chapter 64 Oogawa Finance

    82 Chapter 64 Oogawa Finance


    After Yan Fei and Lu Pingping met, the two of them discussed and agreed on the Company''s next course of action, with Lu Pingping handling the Agents and rumors while Yan Fei worked on enhancing security.


    Leaving aside how Lu Pingping would tackle the business counterattack and dispel the rumors, focusing solely on Yan Fei, he began reaching out to Shanghai''s newly established Department of Veterans Affairs.


    This department, recently established in China, manages affairs rted to retired soldiers. The reason Yan Fei sought them out was precisely because they had ess to arge number of these veterans. With the image of China''s army improving over the years, their rigorous training and strong obedience, they had be the recruitment target of manypanies.


    Dream Foods, led by Yan Fei, had emerged as a new enterprise in the Shanghai market. An actual industry yer, the Company was hiring inrge numbers and paying significant taxes. In just over two months, its tax contributions had surpassed five hundred million, attracting the attention of the Municipal Government, which led to their concern and support for the Company during the attack it faced.


    Therefore, when Yan Fei approached the Department of Veterans Affairs, the officials there weed him warmly. When Yan Fei proposed to recruit some nimble retired personnel to strengthen security, they were overjoyed. They had been paying close attention to Dream Company because of Yan Fei''s generosity and fair treatment of his employees. As long as they obeyed management and met the Company''s quality and delivery standards for assigned tasks, they could earn iesparable to those of foreign enterprise workers in Shanghai. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The generous welfare benefits of Dream Company had always been a topic of discussion among rted departments in Shanghai. If it were not for increasingly stringent management of officials by the State, it''s likely that some might have already tried to arrange for their rtives to join the Company. As the Department of Veterans Affairs officials were considering contacting Yan Fei to see if he would ept a group of veterans, Yan Fei had already taken the initiative to approach them, to their great delight, and they promised to rmend their most elite personnel to him.


    Yan Fei also made his requirements clear: he needed the most elite personnel skilled in security work, ensuring that these individuals had not served in the same Army unit to prevent factions from forming. The staff at the Department of Veterans Affairs understood and promised to fulfill Yan Fei''s conditions.


    On the third day, more than thirty retired soldiers reported for duty at Dream Foods Company, including two female soldiers. These individuals were elite Warriors who had just retired, still maintaining the bearing of their time in the Army. Physically formidable, they were not to be trifled with.


    The apanying officials introduced them, "Director Yan, these are elite Warriors who were among the best in their units and have studied security extensively."


    Yan Fei looked at these soldiers, standing proud and disciplined, and felt extremely satisfied, first with their spirit and also because they weren''t from the same unit, which avoided troublesome factionalism. On the spot, he had the head of the Personnel Department vet them, and if no issues were found, all would be kept. This would not only solve his security problems but also provide good treatment for soldiers who had contributed to the country. Yan Fei generally trusted people arranged by the State, although he couldn''t be sure if there were any Spies among them, he was confident there would be no infiltration by foreign Forces.


    Soon, all the paperwork waspleted, and all thirty-five Warriors were hired. Thirty-two of them established a new security department, while the two female soldiers were assigned to Lu Pingping to protect her personally. Another young man named Wang Dazhuang was assigned to Yan Fei as his driver and for his personal security.


    Of course, Yan Fei''s Strength had reached a point where he no longer needed the protection of Wang Dazhuang, but he kept the Bodyguard as a front. This not only provided him with an extra driver but also deliberately invited underestimation from others, which could lead to mistakes when they confronted him.


    With the formation of the new security department and the integration of the prior security staff into it, the former security department head, Huang Desheng, knowing he was not expert enough, voluntarily stepped down to make way. With the entry of these recently retired soldiers, the security of Dream Foods Company was now reliably assured.


    Since Dream Foods Company was a key focus of the Shanghai Municipal Government and had recruited so many veterans, and especially after the vicious incident where their Manufacturing process was stolen, the relevant agencies specially applied for five pistol permits for Yan Fei''s security team, equipping them with five Pistols. These firearms added to the Company''s deterrent capabilities.


    In Africa, Yan Fei had met Old Man Gu, who had the Predictive Ability to foresee the Future, and he was deeply impressed. Upon returning to China, he tasked Lu Pingping with investigating the flow of funds on his Supreme VIP Card. He had swiped one million at Old Man Gu''s POS terminal, and after Old Man Gu vanished, Yan Fei thought to track down Gu by tracing the money. But even if he couldn''t find Old Man Gu, he at least wanted to learn his real name.


    To Yan Fei''s disappointment, the million withdrawn from his Supreme VIP Card had gone directly into a domestic Foundation that helped terminally ill orphans and the elderly. After calling them, he found out that the Foundation itself did not know who had transferred the money to them. Consequently, Yan Fei''s n to find Old Man Gu and use his predictive powers as a guide for the Future fell through.

 Chapter 83 Chapter 64 Oogawa Finance_2

    83 Chapter 64 Oogawa Finance_2


    However, Yan Fei immediately came to a realization. Old Man Gu probably really possessed the ability to foresee the future. He predicted Yan Fei''s actions and cut off the leads in advance, making sure Yan Fei couldn''t find him. Since Yan Fei couldn''t see the future himself, it was natural that he couldn''t trace Old Man Gu''s whereabouts.


    Unable to receive guidance from the future, Yan Fei could only rely on himself. Just as he and Lu Pingping were brewing a counterattack against the rumors on the Inte, apany called Wangde Food jumped out and began a major promotion of their nutritional biscuits, with weight loss as their key selling point. From their promotional images, Wangde Food''s product was strikingly simr to Dream Foods'' weight loss cookies. Moreover, in their promotions, they subtly hinted at a connection with Dream Foods, implying that their product was the same.


    Upon discovering Wangde Food''s promotion, Yan Fei was greatly invigorated because the shadowy organization behind the scenes was finally surfacing. As long as they hid underground, he was powerless since he didn''t know who his adversary was. But once they surfaced and their adversary was clear, Yan Fei had plenty of ways to deal with them.


    In conjunction with Wangde Food''s extensive promotion, several agents who had previously terminated their partnership with Dream Foods also started to promote, iming that they wouldunch this epoch-making weight loss cookie together with Wangde Food. To give back to consumers, Wangde Food priced its products very affordably at 500 yuan per box, guaranteeing the weight loss effectiveness of the cookies with the credibility that they had once sold Dream Foods products.


    Yan Fei watched calmly, knowing that Wangde Food and its colluding agents were about to make their move. However, they had had a short time to acquire the weight loss cookie''s manufacturing process and hadn''t produced any product samples. In their minds, as long as they had theplete manufacturing process of theirpetitor, they could definitely produce the product. Their early promotion was aimed at gaining time so that, once their product was made, they could seize Dream Foods'' market share.


    Yan Fei activated his Drone Avatar and connected to the Inte using Quantum Radar, instructing the Auxiliary Brain to search for information on Wangde Food online. He then discovered that this Wangde Company had only been established for two years, with its headquarters in the provincial capital of a neighboring province, Hang City. But in these two years, they had engaged only in some trade reselling. They imported products from overseas and then found distributors domestically to sell them. Their business had neither grown nor declined, it was tepid, and no one had paid them much attention.


    Yet, Yan Fei felt there was something unusual about thispany, or rather, the forces behind it. From their advertising, it appeared they had already obtained Dream Foods'' weight loss cookie''s manufacturing process. Previously, to avoid further exposure, Yan Fei hadn''t patented this manufacturing process, which was why Wangde Food dared to openly use Dream Foods'' process without fearing legal action.


    Therefore, Yan Fei instructed the Auxiliary Brain to intensify the collection of information online, and then he discovered that under the name of Wangde Food was a Foreign Waste Recycling Company. This recyclingpany specialized in recovering refuse from Europe, America, and Japan, and then shipped it back to be sorted and processed domestically. The foreign waste recycling industry was very profitable, but it greatly damaged the environment and introduced a risk of infectious sources and bacteria that could harm the workers at the sorting nts as well as the surrounding poption. So the country banned the import of foreign wastest year unless it met national standards, and as a result, these importpanies went out of business.


    But just a month ago, the national authorities caught a batch of illegally imported foreign waste, among which was the Foreign Waste Recycling Company under Wangde Food. Dangerous substances and bacteria were found in the waste they imported, posing severe harm to the sorting workers and the local environment, which led to their business license being revoked by the relevant state departments as a stringent penalty.


    On the surface, there didn''t seem to be any connection between Wangde Food Company and the waste sorting nt, and they never mentioned each other''s names in any context. However, the Auxiliary Brain''s data collection ability was formidable, and it uncovered a lead in an equity structure chart issued by an entity based in Hongkong, which indicated that Wangde Food was the waste sorting nt''srgest shareholder with an 85% stake.


    After this equity structure chart was published, someone deleted it, and it was only cited on another virtually unread zombie website. That''s why the Auxiliary Brain found this clue on that site, and why no one noticed any rtionship between Wangde Food Factory and the waste sorting nt.


    Having discovered this covert rtionship between Wangde Food and the waste sorting nt, Yan Fei grew even more suspicious. Even if a food factory had a subordinate waste sorting nt, it wouldn''t matter much, but why go to such lengths to hide their rtionship? He then again tasked the Auxiliary Brain to gather information from overseasworks.


    A dayter, the Auxiliary Brain finally found Wangde Food''s name in an investment report from a Japanesepany called Oogawa Finance. ording to the report, Oogawa Finance invested ten million US Dors in Wangde Food for a 95% stake, which meant full control. Even though the report referred to Wangde Food using Pinyin without writing the Chinese characters, the Auxiliary Brain still recognized the description of Wangde Company within it, confirming that Wangde Food had epted the investment from Oogawa Finance, which was its controlling shareholder. Oogawa Finance was a Japanese financial giant with vast influence and power in Japan.


    Yan Fei had only sought to find out the details of Wangde Food but had unexpectedly uncovered the fact that it was a Japanese-ownedpany, which left him somewhat dumbfounded. After all, in public, Wangde Food had always promoted patriotic philosophies and showed no indication of being a Japanese-owned enterprise. And now, this Japanese-ownedpany had emerged. Could it be determined that the leak of hispany''s processes was rted to the Japanese?

 Chapter 84 Chapter 65: Tactical Guidance

    84 Chapter 65: Tactical Guidance


    ```


    The next day, Yan Fei disguised himself and didn''t bring his new driver; he drove his new car to Hang City, the provincial capital of Lin Province, and pretended to tour the tourist spots of Hang City. When evening came, he drove his car near the Wangde Food Company. He wanted to personally scout out thepany and see the specifics of Wangde Food for himself.


    By past nine in the evening, all the factory workers had clocked out. From the workers'' conversations, Yan Fei learned that the food factory was currently undergoing product line retrofitting and tuning, so there was no night shift during this period, and the workers left thepany early.


    After ten o''clock, Yan Fei changed into a ck hooded robe, put on the hood, and sprayed a kind of spray on his face that could prevent him from being captured by surveince cameras. This spray contained a special luminous paint that, by using the principle of optical mirror reflection, reflected all the light from shmps, making it appear as a white blur in the surveince footage, failing to capture Yan Fei''s image. He had ordered this spray from the inte; essentially, it was a gaming product, so he had easily purchased it, and now it wasing in handy.


    Yan Fei surveyed his surroundings, carefully avoided several surveince cameras, then with a burst of speed, he climbed over the perimeter wall and jumped into the factory grounds. He cautiously observed the surrounding cameras, walking as much as possible in the blind spots of their coverage, all the while ducking his head to keep his face hidden within the hood. Despite the presence of the anti-photography spray, he was still careful not to recklessly expose himself.


    The whole area of the Wangde Food Factory was eerily empty, only the central office building was still lit. Yan Fei carefully approached the office building, then climbed up the exterior wall, aiming for a room on the top floor that had its lights on. Holding onto the outer wall with one hand, he peered inside, seeing several people gathered, apparently in a meeting. He felt a twinge of curiosity, quietly opened a sliver of the window, and eavesdropped on the conversation inside.


    There were three men and a woman in the room, but they all seemed to defer to the woman, who was currently leading the discussion.


    The fashionably dressed young woman asked, "Manager Xiang, have the product issues been sorted out?"


    A middle-aged man hastily responded with respect, "Miss Ryoko, the production line has been fully installed and is now manufacturing. In a while, we will produce the first finished product."


    The woman referred to as Ryoko said, "Not bad, you Chinese are quite efficient at getting things done. You should know how much we lose for each day we startte."


    Manager Xiang wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Thank you for your trust, Miss Ryoko. I will urge them to speed up the production process, striving to officiallyunch the products on the market this week."


    Ryoko nodded satisfactorily and said, "Manager Xiang, I am very pleased with your performance, or else you wouldn''t be standing here. You should know that many people are vying for your position. There''s no shortage of people in China; no one is indispensable."


    Manager Xiang immediately bowed and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Miss Ryoko, for giving me this opportunity. I will go and supervise on-site right away to hasten the production of the samples."


    Once Manager Xiang left the room, Ryoko looked at the other two men and said, "Igawa-san, we owe the recipe of Dream Foods'' Weight Loss Cookies to your support. I want to express my gratitude."


    The middle-aged man named Igawa said, "It is an honor to serve the Oogawa Family."


    Ryoko continued, "I am curious, the agent you sent to carry out the task, he isn''t in China anymore, is he?"


    Igawa responded, "He has left China and returned to Japan."


    Ryoko said, "That''s good. I was afraid he might get caught if he stayed in China, which could cause trouble for us."


    Igawa assured her, "Please rest easy, Miss Ryoko. Once he returned to Japan, he went into hiding. He will live apletely isted life for the next few years, and nobody will be able to find him."


    Ryoko sighed and said, "Japanese Industry was once so glorious, leading the world for decades. Japanese enterprises and products could be seen all over the world. Who would have thought thatst year''s scandals would erupt one after the other, shattering the myth of ''Made in Japan.'' Once the myth ispletely broken, we will lose a vast share of the international market, which will affect Japan''s development and hasten our decline. So for the future of Japan, we must acquire more technology; that is the only support for Japan''s Development. Otherwise, we wouldn''t even consider targeting this Chinese Nutritional Biscuit technology; I used to have no respect for Chinese technology."


    Another man spoke up, "Ryoko, you shouldn''t me yourself. For years, these Chinese have been stealing from us, taking so much technology. They started by cloning our technology and products and achieved their current sess. Now, by taking their Nutritional biscuit technology, we''re merely returning the favor."


    Ryoko added, "You have to admire this generation of Chinese People. Not only are they as hardworking and resilient as their predecessors, but their imagination has also be more formidable. They''ve managed to create such unbelievable products. It''s just that they''re shortsighted, with no clue how big the market for this product is. The Chinese Market alone is worth at least 40 billion a year, and if you consider the International Market, the annual sales could be at least 50 billion US Dors. A product with such huge market potential is just a waste in their hands; only Japanese enterprises can truly enhance and expand it."


    21:32


    Yan Fei, having heard this, was finally certain that Wangde Food was indeed a Japanesepany, and it was this Wangde Food that had stolen his Manufacturing process. However, since he wasn''t a Drone Avatar and hadn''t prepared recording equipment in advance, he couldn''t videotape the conversation of these people; even with the help of an Auxiliary Brain, it wasn''t possible, which was a bit regrettable. Nevertheless, tonight''s mission had confirmed the identity of his enemy, providing Yan Fei with a clear target for his next move.


    As the three continued to reminisce about the bygone glory days of Japanese Industry in the office, Manager Xiang returned, holding a box in his hand. He smiled at Ryoko and said, "Miss Ryoko, the production line has finally produced the first sample. Please, have a look."


    ```


    Ryoko was very satisfied as she took the box, opened it, and observed the biscuits inside,paring them with another box of weight loss cookies produced by Dream Foods on the table. She said, "The manufacturing process for these weight loss cookies is definitely correct. They look exactly the same as the weight loss cookies from Dream Foods. In the future, we can intentionally lead consumers to believe that our products and Dream Foods'' products are from the same form, and that Dream Foods is suspected of stealing our technology. We will ride on their poprity to sell our own products."


    Manager Xiang kept smirking and even gave a big thumbs up, saying with admiration, "Miss Ryoko, your move is truly brilliant, high, really high!"


    Ryoko picked up a piece of weight loss cookie, put it in her mouth, and slowly chewed. Then suddenly her eyes widened, and she spat out, "Ptooh," ejecting the cookie from her mouth and saying, "What is this? Why does it taste so bad?"


    Manager Xiang, startled, took a cookie from the box and put it in his mouth. Instantly he tasted an odd vor that almost made him want to vomit. But he didn''t overreact like Ryoko and instead took a trash can to spit the cookie into it.


    Seeing the off expressions of the two, the other two men in the room also put cookies in their mouths, and they too were shocked and spat their cookies into the trash can.


    Ryoko rinsed her mouth with water from a cup, and it was only with great difficulty that she washed away the strange taste. Angrily she said, "Manager Xiang, is this the product you''ve produced for me? With such a taste, not to mention selling well, people would curse after just one bite, wouldn''t they?"


    Manager Xiang, his face sweating profusely, kept saying, "That''s impossible! These weight loss cookies were made following the production process we received! In the production data and videos provided to us, we used exactly the same process as the other side, how could it possibly be wrong?"


    Ryoko looked at Igawa, who remained calm. He said, "Don''t look at me, my people would never switch the data. Moreover, when he handed over the data, he included a video of the entire workshop''s production process. Isn''t the content in the video exactly the same as what''s on the data?"


    Ryoko fell into thought, then said, "Manager Xiang, immediately check the production process for any possible discrepancy."


    Manager Xiang hurried out to check the production process.


    In the room, Ryoko frowned and said, "Igawa-kun, I''m not saying I don''t trust you, but there seems to be some problem now, and you must give me an exnation."


    Igawa said, "I will contact Domestic immediately to see if there''s any issue with the entire operation, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."


    After Igawa left, Ryoko said to the remaining person in the room, "Jo Oogawa, what do you think about this matter?"


    Jo Oogawa said, "We still can''t identify where exactly the problem lies, but I think the possibility that there''s an issue on the Igawa Family''s side is greater."


    Ryoko said, "Are you suggesting they switched the data?"


    Jo Oogawa replied, "It''s possible. After all, this is a business worth several hundred billion US Dors a year. Although the Igawa Family has always been quite credible and has a long-term cooperation with our Oogawa Family, I can''t guarantee they wouldn''t be tempted by this deal."


    Ryoko asked, "What do you think we should do now?"


    Jo Oogawa answered, "We absolutely can''t put all our hopes on the Igawa Family. With the Chinese Agent Conference approaching, if we cannot solve this problem in a short time, our previous investments will go down the drain, causing heavy losses to us."


    Ryoko said, "I understand. I''ll request strategic guidance from the family and have them send out a family expert to personally abduct that woman named Lu Pingping. As the General Manager of Dream Foods, she must know the manufacturing process."


    Jo Oogawa reminded, "The boss of Dream Foods is a man named Yan Fei, why not capture him instead?"


    Ryoko replied, "I''ve investigated this Yan Fei. He''s just an ordinary person with good luck, who started his fortune with thepensation from the demolition of his family''s property and had been staying at home before that. So he couldn''t possibly have any technical knowledge. But Lu Pingping is different. She was a top manager in a renowned enterprise in Beijing, with a strongwork, capable of essing some high-end research institutions. Therefore, the technology must havee from Lu Pingping, and the Company is usually managed by Lu Pingping, while that Yan Fei travels all over, barely minding the business. So he''s just a financial investor without control over the core technology."

 Chapter 85 Chapter 66: The Young Man Who Fell Ill

    85 Chapter 66: The Young Man Who Fell Ill


    Yan Fei had never inquired about Lu Pingping''s matters in Beijing before, nor had he searched online. The first time he learned about Lu Pingping''s situation in Beijing was from Yang Song, and today was the second time he heard about Lu Pingping.


    Whether it was Yang Song and his group of friends or Ryoko, the Japanese person in the room, they both had sufficient understanding and extremely high regard for Lu Pingping. On the contrary, it was Yan Fei, who should have known Lu Pingping best, who knew the least about her situation. This was very abnormal.


    In the room, Jo Oogawa said, "Right now, the rtions between Japan and China are tense. Sending our people to China rashly could cause big trouble if discovered by the Chinese side."


    Ryoko said, "After we obtained the manufacturing process for the weight loss cookies, we copied a version and sent it back to Japan. I believe theboratory at our headquarters has also found problems with the production process of the weight loss cookies by now. So we no longer have a way out, we must capture this woman. Of course, after capturing her, we can''t leave her in China; we have to bring her back to Japan, and I am certain that we will extract all the secrets of the weight loss cookies from her. I believe the family will also send an expert out because of such a big interest."


    Yan Fei became furious. These Japanese people were truly despicable, not only stealing the manufacturing process of his family''s weight loss cookies but also nning to kidnap Lu Pingping to Japan. It was fortunate that he rushed back to Shanghai in time and received this intelligence; otherwise, the situation would have been unimaginable.


    A murderous intent arose in Yan Fei''s heart towards these two members of the Oogawa Family. Originally, he wanted to enter the room immediately and kill these two Japanese people. With his current skills, killing them would have been easy. But after thinking it over, he refrained from acting. After all, these two were merely pawns from the Japanese side; killing them wouldn''t mean much. Moreover, since his family was also involved in the cookie matter, even if he killed them, their family would send others to handle the situation, and they might still resort to kidnapping Lu Pingping in the end. Therefore, he didn''t want to stir up trouble prematurely; instead, he wanted to find a way to lure these Japanese people into a trap, to catch everything in one go and permanently eliminate the threat.


    The two Japanese in the room owed their temporary survival to a sudden thought from Yan Fei, not knowing this reality. They continued to discuss their strategies, but their conversation no longer contained much useful information, focusing instead on family infighting and conspiracies. Yan Fei was not interested in these contents and did not take them too seriously. In the end, Manager Xiang once again sent in samples of the finished cookies, but just as before, the taste of the cookies was horrible, making one want to vomit upon reaching the mouth.


    Although it was still unclear whether the nutritional biscuits had any weight loss effect, they were aplete failure in terms of taste; no one would like this vor. Even if these biscuits really had a slimming effect, it would be because they ruined the consumer''s appetite, causing people to lose weight from being unable to eat.


    After confirming the issue with the nutritional biscuits again, Manager Xiang got scolded and was sent out of the room. Ryoko then began to make a phone call to Japan to report the situation here and request tactical support, asking the family to deploy experts. What followed was a lengthy wait for a response.


    Only when Yan Fei saw the dawn light up the sky did he realize that he had been eavesdropping outside the window for an entire night. The room still had not received a reply from Japan. Seeing that there were already early risers around the food factory, he chose to leave quietly to avoid exposing himself.


    Back at the hotel, Yan Fei gave orders to the security department to enhance the protection of Lu Pingping and to further strengthen the security of the food factory to prevent another theft of the manufacturing process. Finally, he phoned Lu Pingping, telling her to be very cautious recently, to not leave thepany unless necessary, and never to be out of the sight of the security personnel.


    Even though the Oogawa Family in Japan had not yet decided whether to send people to kidnap Lu Pingping, Yan Fei did not dare to take it lightly. A moment''s negligence could lead to Lu Pingping''s abduction, something he would never forgive himself for, which is why he immediately intensified her protection. Besides, with so many powerful families and forces in the world, who could definitively say that only the Oogawa Family would target Yan Fei''s weight loss cookies?


    The next day, to avoid suspicion, Yan Fei started sightseeing around Hang City. To make it easier for anyone who might investigate himter to track his movements, he did not disguise himself or drive his own car but instead took the bus.


    After visiting the West Lake Scenic Area in Hang City, Yan Fei boarded a bus. It was midday, and few people were on the bus. Sitting at the back, he looked out the window, bored, and pondered how to deal with the threat from the Oogawa Family.


    Just then, a thin young man got on the bus, his face flushed, his body shaking, and covered in sweat, looking ill. The young man made his way to the priority seats and could not go further. He struggled to hold onto the overhead handrail to support himself.


    Sitting in the priority seat was a boy about eleven or twelve years old who, upon seeing the young man standing next to him, immediately stood up to offer his seat, saying, "Brother, take my seat!"


    n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om

 Chapter 86 Chapter 66: The Young Man Who Fell Ill_2

    86 Chapter 66: The Young Man Who Fell Ill_2


    The young man seemed to have no more strength left; he merely expressed his gratitude before sitting down in the seat the little boy had given up, while the little boy took a step back and upied the position right behind the priority seats.


    Yan Fei, who was sitting further back, nodded silently in approval. Over the past few years, the civilized quality of Chinese People had greatly improved. Especially children and young people, who were very conscientious about being civil in public spaces, giving up their seats was nowmonce. If this trend continued, China would be increasingly civilized.


    The bus reached the next stop, and an old man wearing a white tank top boarded. This old man was thin and bony; he had appeared quite spirited before boarding, but once on the bus, he became listless. He approached the sick young man, tilted his chin up, looked at the young man seated, and said loudly, "Hey, you get up and give me your seat!"


    The sick young man''s face had been in difort the whole time; he likely didn''t hear the old man''s words, so there was no reaction. The little boy who gave up his seat to the young man stood up again and said, "Grandpa, please take my seat!"


    The old man nced at the half-empty back of the bus but didn''t move backward. Instead, he continued to address the sick young man, "Hey, I''m talking to you. Didn''t you hear me?"


    This time the sick young man clearly heard and turned to look before responding, "Old man, there are plenty of empty seats at the back, please sit there!"


    The old man instantly got angry, roaring, "This is a priority seat, meant for us elderly to sit in. How can a young man like you have the audacity to upy this ce? Get up quickly and give the seat to me!"


    The sick young man was stunned for a moment, not expecting the old man to be so irritable. Nheless, he struggled to stand up to give up his seat, but it seemed there was a problem with his body. He had just managed to rise halfway before sitting down again, and then he had no strength left to move.


    The old man coldly observed this and became infuriated when he saw that the young man only made a gesture to get up before sitting back down again. He didn''t speak another word, but suddenly regained his previous vigor and started doing various warm-up exercises, bending over, stretching his legs, and moving his hands and feet. After he finished warming up, he grabbed the handrails above, lifted his body off his seat, kicked up his legs, and then fiercely kicked the sick young man.


    The sick young man was violently kicked by the old man''s feet and hit the bus window; the window even cracked from the impact. Even passengers sitting at the back could hear the loud sound of the kick, which speaks volumes about how strong the old man''s kick was. The sick young man''s body was recoiled by the window, and he then tumbled to the ground.


    The little boy who had given up his seat immediately went forward to help the sick young man, but before he could speak, he was pped by the old man, who rebuked, "You little rat, think I''m just a sick cat when I don''t show my might? Back in the day, there wasn''t a person I hadn''t fought, you two little rats don''t even catch my eye..."


    Having been struck innocently by the old man, the little boy burst into tears.


    The bystanders could no longer stand by, and they began to reproach the old man. Full of arrogance, the old man taunted, "This is just the kind of person I am. If you have the guts,e hit me! Remember, I''ve got a heart condition and can''t take shocks, the moment youy a hand on me and I go down, you''ll be ruined."


    Yan Fei felt anger rising within him; this old man reminded him of a saying he had seen on the Inte: "It''s not that the elderly have be bad, it''s that bad people have gotten old." Perhaps in his youth, during that special era, this old man had been a daredevil, too?


    Seeing that everyone was merely verbally condemning him and no one dared to step forward to intervene, the old man grew even more brazen and said, "You''re all trash, indeed a bunch of cowards who can only talk big. If you''d met the me from back in the day, I''d ensure you were thoroughly taught a lesson."


    Just as Yan Fei thought about discreetly intervening to punish this arrogant old man, the sick young man finally stood up. His face was flushed, he was reeling, his body covered in cold sweat, he struggled to his feet, took hold of the little boy, and began tofort him.


    The old man arrogantly took the priority seat, sneered and said, "If you''d given up your seat earlier, wouldn''t all this have been avoided? Pretending to be sick, and look, my kick has cured your illness! You ought to thank me."


    The sick young man looked at the old man furiously, then lightly patted the old man on the shoulder. The old man''s eyes bulged, and he shouted, "What are you doing?"


    The sick young man replied, "I''m getting my bag."


    It turned out that the sick young man''s bag had been left on the seat, and the old man threw it to the ground. The young man, face full of anger, refrained from any further action. Just then, the bus arrived at the next stop, so he picked up his bag and got off along with the crying little boy.


    As soon as the two exited, the old man resumed his earlier lethargic demeanor, closed his eyes, and looked like he was about to die. After traveling a few stops, the bus was forced to make a sudden emergency stop, and the old man''s body lunged forward, then fell onto the aisle. Strangely, there was no reaction from the old man down on the ground,pletely motionless. Although dissatisfied with the old man''s behavior earlier, someone still stepped forward to check on him and was shocked to find that the old man was not breathing at all; he had somehow died without anyone noticing when it happened.


    With a fatality on board, the driver immediately pulled over and stopped the bus to call the police. The rest of the passengers, fearing trouble, hurriedly got off as soon as the bus came to a halt,pletely ignoring the driver''s request for them to stay as witnesses. They all opted not to face police questioning, especially not for a detestable and brash old man like him. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Yan Fei too left the bus. With his extraordinary vision, he saw more than the others did. When the sick young man eventually gave the old man a light pat on the shoulder, it seemed as if something amazing had happened, and then the old man died.


    Though the young man looked seriously ill and extremely weak, he was no ordinary person ¨C his body contained an amazing power that could easily cause death. But since Yan Fei also had little sympathy for the arrogant old man, naturally he didn''t want toplicate matters or stay to provide evidence for the police, as he had more important things to attend to.


    In the daytime, Yan Fei spent his time strolling around Hang City. Come nightfall, he made his way to the Wangde Food Company office again, and as expected, found Ryoko and Jo Oogawa there. In addition to them, Manager Xiang was also in the room.


    When Yan Fei spotted them, Ryoko was instructing Manager Xiang.


    Yan Fei had not been prepared yesterday, so he hadn''t recorded the information he overheard. Tonight, however, he came prepared and had purchased a high-definition video camera to record what was transpiring in the room.

 Chapter 87 Chapter 67: Deep Sea Monster

    87 Chapter 67: Deep Sea Monster


    Ryoko threw the weight-loss cookies at Manager Xiang and cursed angrily, "Our Oogawa family went through so much trouble to steal the manufacturing process for these weight-loss cookies from Dream Foods Company, and you''re telling me that you can''t produce them? Are you an idiot?"


    Manager Xiang kept bowing and apologizing, but besides his apologies, he dared not say anything else.


    It seemed Manager Xiang organized overnight to restart the production, but the results were not satisfactory; they still couldn''t produce a qualified product.


    Jo Oogawa said from the side, "Ryoko, don''t be angry. Manager Xiang, go down and check again to see if there is anything that you have overlooked."


    Manager Xiang, as if given a reprieve, bowed repeatedly and backed out, leaving the room.


    After Ryoko had finished venting, she sighed and said, "Igawa has already confirmed it on their end; they said that the person had handed over all the stolen data from Dream Foods Company to me, there''s absolutely no omission nor copy. They think that my distrust is an insult to them, so they want me to go back to Japan to apologize to them."


    Jo Oogawa said, "If there''s no problem on Igawa''s end, and there shouldn''t be any problems on our production factory''s end either. Then there''s only one exnation, and that is the data Igawa obtained is fake."


    Ryoko nodded and said, "That''s the only possibility. Dream Foods must have used some visual obfuscation technique to deceive all the producers and even the Igawa family, so what they got is what someone else wanted them to have; the real core data is still in Dream Foods'' hands.


    Jo Oogawa said, "I think so too, so the person who holds the core data is most likely Lu Pingping. Since we''ve reported the matter back, let''s continue to wait for the family''s decision."


    Just like that, the two of them sat motionlessly in the office, discussing some family and corporate secrets. An hourter, the office fax machine rang, and a fax was transmitted; Jo Oogawa picked up the fax. Yan Fei quickly scanned the fax and saw it was full of iprehensible symbols and gibberish, utterly unable to understand what it said.


    Jo Oogawa nced over the content and said, "The family has agreed to your n and will send a family expert tomorrow night to Shanghai, to capture Lu Pingping. At the same time, they''ve decided to capture Yan Fei, the owner of Dream Foods."


    Ryoko, seeing her n approved, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since the family has decided to take action, I''m relieved. But those people from the family are really cautious, even capturing that useless Yan Fei."


    Jo Oogawaughed and said, "The family is just being careful. In case Lu Pingping refuses toply, we can still threaten her with Yan Fei. Look at how she left everything in Beijing to help Yan Fei set up hispany ¨C it shows that their rtionship is not ordinary."


    Ryoko said, "I actually overlooked their rtionship. The family sees further than I do. By the way, when will they take action?"


    Jo Oogawa looked at the mysterious text on the fax and said, "Sometime around 11 p.m. tomorrow night, the family expert will enter Shanghai from off the coast. They are expected to carry out the capture around midnight. What we need to do now is to confirm where Lu Pingping and Yan Fei will be tomorrow night."


    Ryoko said, "I understand. I will confirm their location as soon as possible and then pass the intelligence back to the family."


    The two went on to discuss the benefits they could gain within the family once they captured Lu Pingping. Yan Fei was indifferent to this family strife. Later, seeing there was no more intelligence, he left Wangde Food. He did not act against these two people, as he intended to y the long game to bigger fish. If these two were to run into any trouble, the Oogawa family might change their n, making it unpredictable.


    Yan Fei aimed not just to thwart their kidnapping n but to eradicate it entirely. If he only stopped them, the other party might continue to send people. Without precise intelligence, he couldn''t ruin their operations. This was also one of the reasons Yan Fei temporarily spared these two Japanese. However, once he knew their action n, Yan Fei could devise a targeted battle n to catch everything in one go. With the powerful Drone Avatar at hand, he was confident he could wipe out the opposition in one fell swoop. Defeating sufficient numbers of the adversary''s forces might discourage them from nning another kidnapping.


    Upon returning to his hotel, Yan Fei fell asleep immediately. He checked out at 8 in the morning and brazenly drove away from Hang City, heading back to Shanghai. Three hourster, he returned to Shanghai. Then, citing work arrangements, he called Lu Pingping over to start a behind-closed-doors discussion.


    First, Yan Fei shared the intelligence he had gathered with Lu Pingping, but he deliberately left out the information that Wangde Food was a Japanese enterprise and that the Japanese were nning to kidnap both her and him. After all, he didn''t want Lu Pingping to worry too much, and he also had the power to annihte the adversary''s personnel. That''s why he chose to conceal this matter.


    Meanwhile, Yan Fei had used a high-definition camera to capture explosive video evidence. As long as these videos were uploaded to the Inte, the Oogawa Family would be finished in China. Even the dealers who coborated with the Wangde Food Company would not escape unscathed. In other words, with these videos, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping had already secured an invincible position.


    After learning about the mastermind behind the trouble, Lu Pingping immediately discussed countermeasures with Yan Fei. Quickly, the time reached around seven or eight in the evening. For safety, Yan Fei left Lu Pingping at the Company and stayed by her side the whole time, never leaving her alone. The security personnel also split into two shifts, one guarding the food factory and the other stationed at the Company headquarters.


    Yan Fei had originally wanted to take Lu Pingping away from Shanghai to evade the storm for a while. However, he knew that Ryoko''s informants were monitoring the movements of both him and Lu Pingping. He feared that any change on his part might alter the Oogawa Family''s course of action and cause him to miss the chance to catch them all in one go, which was why he risked leaving Lu Pingping in Shanghai. As for why he did not seek help from the Chinese government and use government power to deal with the Japanese, the main reason was that he had too many secrets to risk being exposed through such cooperation. Besides, he had absolute confidence in the killing power of the Drones; he believed that with just himself, he could eliminate any enemies that came, and thus he did not alert the Chinese government. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Although Yan Fei''s real body was at the Company headquarters, he was covertly controlling a Drone Avatar operating on the seabed off the coast of Shanghai. The Quantum Radar of the Drone activated a wide scan for sea vessels every five minutes, monitoring all ships entering Shanghai. Upon encountering a suspicious vessel, it would covertly approach the ship''s underside to investigate until it was clear of suspicion before letting it go.


    Having already known of the Oogawa Family''s impending moves against both him and Lu Pingping, Yan Fei had naturally made the relevant preparations. His n was to intercept the Oogawa Family''s people in the seas off Shanghai and take them out at sea. With the Drone''s terrifyingbat power and its phenomenal ability to operate both in the sky and underwater, he believed no one could escape his assault at sea.


    Time quickly advanced to eleven at night. Yan Fei, who appearedposed in the office, was actually focusing all his attention on the Drone Avatar. The maximum scanning radius of the Drone Quantum Radar in the water was only 100 kilometers, but this was enough for it to detect the enemy from afar.


    Yan Fei had essentially sealed off the shipping routes to Shanghai, but strangely, despite it being past eleven, he hadn''t detected any abnormal ship activity. Had he misheard the time that day? Or had Ryoko and Jo Oogawa realized that he had eavesdropped, deliberately deceiving him with a fake time?


    While Yan Fei was pondering, the Quantum Radar of the Drone sounded an alert. On checking, he saw that arge object had appeared 20 kilometers east of the Drone Avatar on the seabed. He had been focusing on the sea surface all along, neglecting the seabed, so the Quantum Radar''s scan was only for the surface. If it were not for this object nearing the radar''s alert range, he might not have detected it approaching.


    Yan Fei hurriedly directed the Quantum Radar''s scan into the seawater and discovered that therge object approaching him was an enormous Submarine. As Yan Fei had not previously paid attention to Submarines, he couldn''t determine the nation to which it belonged based merely on its appearance. Since it was in China''s offshore waters, it could be a Chinese Submarine conducting deep-sea training. But Yan Fei didn''t take any chances; while keeping a close watch on the Submarine, he controlled the Drone Avatar to approach it stealthily.


    It took only ten minutes for Yan Fei to close in on the Submarine. The seafloor was pitch-ck, but the "eyes" of the Drone were exceptionally powerful. Even in the dark abyss of the sea, it could still discern details with just a hint of faint light.


    This Submarine was enormous; Yan Fei roughly estimated its discement to be over three thousand tons. It had a streamlined shape but wasn''t of the traditional curved form. Instead, it was smoothly connected by various t surfaces, looking slightly different from other Submarines. Arge white number, 508, was written on its conning tower.


    Now that the Drone was over one hundred kilometers away from Shanghai, the Quantum Radar could not connect to the Inte, so it couldn''t determine the nationality of the Submarine. However, back at the Company headquarters, Yan Fei immediately turned on hisputer and started to search for "Submarine, 508". The omnipotent search engine quickly yielded relevant results.


    It turned out that the Submarine discovered by the Drone Avatar wasn''t a domestic Chinese one, but belonged to the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force. The Submarine was of the Soryu-ss, stemming from Japan''s robust "16th Year of Heisei Submarine Program," known as 16SS, the most advanced type of active-duty Submarine in the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.


    The Submarine 508, named the Red Dragon, began construction in 2013, wasunched in 2015, and officially entered service in 2017. It was 84 meters long, 9.1 meters wide, and 10.3 meters high. The standard discement was 2950 tons, equipped with a Sterling air-independent propulsion system (AIP) and associated auxiliary machinery. The hull used "high-tensile steel" for strength, boasting two diesel engines and four Sterling AIP engines, significantly enhancing the Submarine''s performance. Moreover, it was outfitted with a high-performance Sonar device, providing strong search and stealth capabilities.


    The fully loaded discement of the Red Dragon reached 4200 tons. Its primary armament included six 533 millimeter Torpedo tubes capable ofunching anti-ship/anti-submarine Torpedoes and anti-ship Missiles. It was the first Submarine of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force to adopt AIP propulsion and is among thergest conventional-power attack Submarines in active service worldwide, a veritable deep-sea monster.


    After examining the data about this Submarine, Yan Fei was amazed. Except for the propulsion system not being nuclear, all other specs seemed on par with those of a nuclear Submarine. Japan, being a defeated nation from World War II, was unable to produce nuclear Submarines yet had put considerable effort into conventional Submarines, turning out a monster on par with nuclear Submarinebat power.


    Yan Fei discovered an image of the Red Dragon Submarine online. Comparing it with the one in front of him, he realized they were identical, confirming that this Submarine was indeed Japan''s Red Dragon. But why was this Submarine of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force heading toward Shanghai? Could the vessel he had been unable to find, the one transporting the Oogawa Family''s experts, be this very Submarine? If that were the case, then the Oogawa Family''s influence in Japan was terrifying indeed; they could even mobilize military Submarines to transport their personnel.

 Chapter 88 Chapter 68: Fallen Angel

    88 Chapter 68: Fallen Angel


    Just as Yan Fei was using his Drone Avatar to size up the Red Dragon Submarine, the high-performance sonar on board the Red Dragon had also detected the Drone Avatar.


    Although the Drone moved quickly underwater, the sound of the propeller pushing the water at the rear was still inescapable, so as soon as it appeared near the Red Dragon, it was immediately detected by the Red Dragon''s sonar. The Drone''s shape was a bit odd, and the sonar echo looked somewhat strange, leading the sonar operators on the Red Dragon to mistake it for a shark. Then, the "shark" they thought they saw swam near them and started circling around them as if observing them. At this point, the crew aboard the Red Dragon Submarine began to feel uneasy.


    Inside the Red Dragon Submarine, the sonar operator reported, "Report, the suspicious object is approaching our vessel again."


    The executive officer said to the captain, "I think this suspicious object is dangerous, should weunch a torpedo to destroy it?"


    The captain responded, "This mission carries a special purpose, we''re responsible for transporting people to the waters off Shanghai, so we can''t afford anyplications."


    The executive officer said, "But this thing keeps following us, our whereabouts might be exposed. We just used sonar to chase it away and it didn''t respond, so I suspect that it''s not a living creature at all. And look, it has circled us several times, but its shape on the sonar remains unchanged, so it''s very likely to be a man-made item. We are near China''s waters. The likelihood that this object is manufactured by China is extremely high. If that''s the case, our whereabouts may already bepromised."


    The captain began weighing the pros and cons, and the executive officer urged, "We are still a distance away from Shanghai. If we attack the suspicious target, the likelihood of being discovered due to our torpedo explosion is not high. But if we don''t drive it away, approaching the waters near China would be risky. Given the current tension between the two countries, if we''re discovered, they might choose to eliminate us."


    After much consideration, the captain finally made a decision and gave the order, "Imand tube number one to prepare for anti-submarine torpedounch, target the suspicious object outside."


    Consequently, the torpedo tubes on the Red Dragon began flooding with water in preparation forunching a torpedo, with Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar being the intended target.


    Yan Fei had circled the submarine several times and had not yet figured out how to deal with it when he heard the sound of the torpedo tubes flooding with water. He was shocked. The flooding of torpedo tubes was a harbinger of an imminent attack. He was well aware that his Drone Avatar could be detected by other vessels'' sonar, so he never assumed the other party hadn''t noticed him. Now that he realized they were about tounch a torpedo attack, he was clearly the target.


    However, Yan Fei had never experienced naval warfare andcked experience. He hesitated, wondering if he''d misunderstood the submarine''s intentions. Then he saw arge stream of bubbles emerge from beneath the submarine and a massive torpedounched in the direction of the Drone, its rear connected by a wire.


    Yan Fei was enraged inside, realizing that the submarine actually intended to attack him. Since that was the case, he no longer needed to show any courtesy. Anyone who attacked him was an enemy and should be eliminated. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    At that moment, the Drone was less than one kilometer away from the Red Dragon Submarine. As soon as the torpedo wasunched, it sped toward the Drone. Yan Fei''s Drone hastily changed course, only to find that the torpedo also turned and continued to pursue the Drone.


    Yan Fei then understood that the torpedo was wire-guided; onceunched, the submarine could navigate the torpedo via the wire attached to its tail. That''s why the torpedo continued to chase him after he changed course.


    Coming to this realization, Yan Fei no longer dodged but instead turned the Drone''s nose toward the iing torpedo, with the Vulcan Gun on the Drone''s head opening fire. He saw a burst of bubbles abruptly appear, and the Cannon Rounds hit the torpedo''s head continuously, then the torpedo exploded under the pressure of the Vulcan Gun''s fire. Yan Fei then saw a white flower bloom in the deep sea and rapidly disappear under the intense water pressure, leaving behind a trail of bubbles and the wreckage from the exploded torpedo.


    The operators inside the Red Dragon Submarine were navigating the torpedo with the wire when they suddenly found the torpedo explode inexplicably, and the sonar on board registered the impact sound of bullets being fired. Upon receiving this information, the captain immediately sensed that something was wrong. He wanted tounch a second torpedo, but after Yan Fei destroyed the first torpedo, he quickly closed the distance to the submarine,ing within 100 meters. At this distance, the submarine could no longerunch torpedoes at Yan Fei.


    Although Yan Fei wasn''t certain that this was the Oogawa Family''s vessel transporting personnel to China, the unprovoked attack he had just experienced meant this matter couldn''t be left unsettled today. The Drone rapidly approached the submarine, the Red Dragon''s submerged speed of 20 knots was slowpared to the Drone. The Drone adjusted its nose and fired 30-millimeter armor-piercing rounds at the submarine.


    However, to Yan Fei''s surprise, the usually infallible 30-millimeter Naval Cannon was ineffective in attacking the hull of the Red Dragon Submarine. The 30-millimeter armor-piercing rounds couldn''t prate the Red Dragon''s hull and only managed to shatter the new type of rubber sound-absorbing tiles on the outermostyer of the submarine.


    Yan Fei''s heart stirred, and he hastily checked the Auxiliary Brain, only to discover that there were no Merit Points awarded for sinking a submarine, nor were there any other records. It seemed that although the Drone''s Naval Cannon had attacked the Red Dragon Submarine, it had not breached the hull, hence the Drone''s Merit evaluation determined that the attack did not merit any Merit Points.


    Yan Fei was impressed by the sturdiness of the Red Dragon''s hull; it was then he remembered the previous introduction to the Soryu-ss Submarine which included information on the hull materials. ording to that data, the Soryu-ss Submarines fully utilized NS-110 High Strength Steel, and it was this use of high-strength steel that gave them a maximum diving depth of 604 meters, surpassing the majority of submarines in the world.


    Prior to this encounter, Yan Fei had little knowledge of NS-110 High Strength Steel, but after realizing that even a 30-millimeter armor-piercing round couldn''t prate the hull, he understood how exceptional the NS-110 High Strength Steel was, truly deserving of a material capable of deep-sea diving to 604 meters.


    While Yan Fei was extremely shocked on the outside, those inside the Red Dragon Submarine were even more astonished. They had not expected that the unidentified object was man-made, capable of weaponized attacks, and had exploded their weapon. Moreover, the attacker''s underwater travel speed was remarkable, far exceeding their own submarine''s and had then initiated an attack on them. Even though the weapon had not prated the steel tes of the hull, it had already destroyed the submarine''s outeryer of silent tiles.


    Without the protection of the silent tiles, the tremendous echo of the Drone''s Naval Cannon attacking the Red Dragon''s hull began to spread across the seabed, transforming the Red Dragon into a major source of underwater noise, no longer able to maintain its stealth. And the "ng ng ng" of the Naval Cannon attack had the crew inside the Red Dragon Submarine on tenterhooks, worried that the next second would see the hull breached.


    Yan Fei''s Naval Cannon bombarded the submarine''s hull without sess in prating, so he changed his target and began attacking the Red Dragon''s exterior sonar devices. The sonar devices were not installed inside the hull but exposed outside to facilitate sound detection and enemy identification. Under the Drone''s Naval Cannon fire, the Red Dragon''s sonar devices, incredibly vulnerable, were swiftly destroyed.


    With the Red Dragon''s sonar destroyed by the Drone, the submarine suddenly lost its ability to scout the environment, effectively bing "blind." Consequently, the captain immediately ordered a rapid ascent, abandoning their special task of transporting personnel.


    Unable to destroy the Red Dragon Submarine, Yan Fei pursued relentlessly, continuing his attack until the Red Dragon surfaced; still, he attacked a few more times from below the sea surface, failing to breach the hull.


    However, upon seeing the Red Dragon emerge, Yan Fei ceased his attacks and moved away. While submerged, because missiles couldn''t be used, Yan Fei''s Naval Cannon couldn''t break through the Red Dragon''s defense. But once it surfaced, Yan Fei''s strongest weapon, missiles, woulde into y. The Drone pulled away precisely to avoid detection by the Red Dragon, nning to ascend from the water at a distance and attack the submarine using the Drone''s missiles from the sky.


    The 30-millimeter Cannon Rounds were ineffective against the Red Dragon''s hull, but Yan Fei believed that the Drone''s anti-tank missiles could surely prate it. Prating the hull would not only award him a massive quantity of Merit Points for sinking the Red Dragon but also drown the Oogawa Family members en route to China, eliminating a security threat.


    As the Red Dragon surfaced, the hatch opened, and several crew members emerged. They stood atop the hull to assess the damage and discovered that the sonar had only suffered minor damage, so they immediately began emergency repairs. Due to Yan Fei''s inexperience, he failed to locate the true position of the sonar; thus, the actual damage inflicted by the Naval Cannon was minimal, and the sonar was salvageable.


    Others who surfaced, d in ck with hoods, looked around expressionlessly, with one of them taking the lead tomunicate via a satellite phone.


    Within the Red Dragon, the captain listened intently, relieved upon realizing there were no further attacks. Only when the Damage Control Personnel reported that the sonar was repairable did he ease his mind. Just as he was about to order the Red Dragon to remain surfaced and return to base, he suddenly received new orders from the rearmand, telling them to continue with their mission.


    The Drone rapidly dived, then, at a distance of ten kilometers from the Red Dragon, it made a vertical ascent and left the seabed. The Drone Body quickly changed its shape, reverting to its original form. Ignoring the water still dripping from its body, it flew towards the distant Red Dragon.


    The Drone swiftly closed in on the Red Dragon, and as the submarine had surfaced, the bridge''s radar systems activated and instantly detected the advancing Drone. Due to a previous incident involving an attack on the South Korean Coast Guard Law Enforcement Ship, Japan had taken notice of this particr Drone, which resembled the US Army''s Predator Drone. As soon as they spotted the Drone suddenly appearing, they heightened their alertness, not only reporting this Intelligence back tomand but also readying their anti-ship missiles on the submarine for an imminent attack.


    Under Yan Fei''s control, the Drone quickly approached the Red Dragon. Just as the Drone was at the optimal attack distance and Yan Fei was about tounch an anti-tank missile at the Red Dragon, a sh of white light appeared on the distant horizon. Suddenly, one wing of the Drone snapped off. Following another sh of light, the Drone''s other wing also broke away. The Drone, having lost its wings, plunged into the ocean and began sinking to the seabed.


    In the Dream Technology headquarters in Shanghai, Yan Fei''s true self was discussing matters with Lu Pingping when she suddenly saw Yan Fei shout loudly, then he flipped over and fell to the ground, convulsing continuously in apparent agony.

 Chapter 89 Chapter 69: Laser Weapon

    89 Chapter 69: Laser Weapon


    Yan Fei suddenly fell ill, which scared Lu Pingping¡ªwho was talking to him¡ªout of her wits. She stood up and, in her panic, knocked over a water cup on the coffee table. The tea inside spilled out onto her body, soiling her designer work suit.


    But Lu Pingping didn''t care about her dirty clothes at all. She stepped forward, picked up Yan Fei from the ground, and rested his head in her arms, shouting loudly, "Fei, what''s wrong with you? Don''t scare me, okay?"


    Yan Feiy in Lu Pingping''s arms without any reaction to her shouting. His body kept twitching, and even the look in his eyes began to fade. When Lu Pingping saw this, she was terrified and immediately called the two female bodyguards outside to help. These two female bodyguards were elite soldiers who had just retired, proficient in all kinds of medical treatment and injury management, but even with their experience, they couldn''t figure out what was happening to Yan Fei and werepletely at a loss.


    Lu Pingping decisively picked up the phone to call for an ambnce, but then she noticed that Yan Fei was holding her hand, struggling to say, word by word, "Don''t¡­ call¡­ an¡­ ambnce¡­ I¡­ just¡­ need¡­ to¡­ lie¡­ down¡­ and¡­ I''ll¡­ be¡­ okay¡­"


    It turned out that at the same time when the Drone Avatar was dismembered by a white light in the distant sky, Yan Fei''s own body, being closely connected to his Drone Avatar, was severely damaged. The immense pain, as if his body was being torn apart, was unbearable for Yan Fei, and he nearly lost consciousness. However, Yan Fei was determined and finally endured the pain. It was only after some time that he began to feel a bit better, and when he saw Lu Pingping about to call for an ambnce, he hurriedly stopped her. The mysterious connection between him and his Drone Avatar had inflicted a tearing injury on his spiritual soul. No one could treat it, and treatment was impossible¡ªit could only be slowly healed through his own recuperation.


    To face the dangerous situation tonight, Yan Fei had arranged for security personnel in this building, so staying here with Lu Pingping still felt somewhat safe. But once they went out and got on an ambnce, without the protection of security personnel, the consequences would be unimaginable. Since Yan Fei had now lostbat power, he waspletely unable to contend with the experts of the Oogawa Family and might be kidnapped by them once they went out. Thus, Yan Fei stopped Lu Pingping from calling for emergency help and decided to stay in the Company''s Headquarters.


    Offshore of Shanghai, the radar on the Red Dragon detected the Drone, ready tounch anti-ship missiles for an attack, when it found the Drone being dismembered by a mysterious white light in the distance and falling into the sea, which left the crew somewhat dumbfounded. The leader among the men in ck dismissively said, "The weapon that just attacked is Japan''stest aircraft-mountedser weapon, still in a secret testing phase. But even in the testing phase, isn''t it effortless to deal with such a small Drone?"


    The captain of the Red Dragon Submarine also ranked high in Japan''s Self-Defense Forces and knew that the Oogawa Family had many connections with the higher-ups in the military, which was why the Red Dragon was dispatched to assist their smuggling into China''s Shanghai. However, the Oogawa Family didn''t seem to trust Red Dragonpletely and had dispatched an experimental airne equipped with aser weapon to provide protection along the way. After all, their destination was China, and the Oogawa Family did this to ensure nothing would go wrong, yet they didn''t expect to encounter the Drone masquerading as the US Army''s Predator. They immediately activated theser weapon and shot it down.


    Yan Fei had also been careless, focusing only on the Red Dragon Submarine in front of him and not expecting that an experimental ne equipped with aser weapon was watching him afar. It was also because the experimental ne was far from the Drone and theser weapon''s attack range was extremely long that he subconsciously overlooked the threat from afar, leading to his Drone Avatar beingpletely destroyed by the enemy''sser weapon for the first time, and his own body in distant Shanghai was implicated and severely injured, losingbat power.


    The sonar on the Red Dragon Submarine appeared to be severely damaged from the outside, but it had not actually harmed the coreponents, so the damage was not as severe as imagined. The sonar was quickly repaired under the work of the damage control personnel.


    Therefore, the captain of the Red Dragon Submarine continued the mission of transporting personnel to Shanghai. The Red Dragon submerged and set off again towards Shanghai.


    Under the sea, severalrge pieces of the Drone''s wreckage sank to the seafloor, slightly swaying under the wash of the ocean currents, but showing no signs of autonomous movement, appearing as if it hadpletely lost life. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    In the Shanghai Headquarters, with time passing, Yan Fei''s condition slowly improved, and his body began to recover. However, he was in tremendous pain,cking any strength and feeling so lethargic he wanted to sleep endlessly.


    The Drone had been attacked before, and Xiao Kong, who was now dead, had shot down the Drone. But at that time, although the Drone Body was severely damaged, it did not fall apart, and since the Drone''s Level was not very high and its connection with the host was not very tight, Yan Fei only felt pain for a moment before quickly recovering.


    This time, however, the Drone Level had been Enhanced, and the connection with Yan Fei''s body had deepened. Coupled with it being cut into pieces by theser weapon, resulting in far more severe damage than the previous time, Yan Fei''s own body suffered such serious synchronous injury that even his spiritual soul was greatly harmed.


    As Yan Fei recovered a bit of his spirit, he tried to contact the Drone Avatar, but there was no response, as if the Drone Avatar didn''t exist, and even the Universal Space could not be opened. By now, he had realized that his Drone was likely attacked by something like aser weapon. Those two white beams that had severed the Drone''s wings must have been from aser weapon. The attack speed of theser weapon was very fast,pleting the dismemberment of the Drone in an instant, so fast that even the Quantum Radar on the Drone hadn''t reacted.


    Yan Fei began to reflect; it seemed that the events in Africa had developed too smoothly recently, leading him to becent and underestimate his enemies, not realizing the number of things in this world that could attack his Drone Avatar, especially when facing national Forces. No one could predict what sort of Trump Card these nations held.


    The destruction of the Drone meant Yan Fei had lost control over the situation. However, he was not entirely without chances. He couldn''t feel the Drone''s presence or even ess the Universal Space, but that didn''t mean the Drone was truly destroyed by theser weapon. He still harbored a glimmer of hope, hoping that at midnight, if the Drone Data refresh allowed it, he could establish contact again. It was now eleven-forty in the evening, and in twenty minutes, it would be clear.


    Yan Fei felt weak all over and hadpletely lost his Combat power. He could not confirm whether the Red Dragon Submarine''s mission was indeed to transport the Oogawa Family''s nsmen to Shanghai, nor could he be sure whether the injured Red Dragon would continue towards Shanghai. Tonight was filled with uncertainty, and without the Drone Avatar, Yan Fei had lost control over everything. He then had Lu Pingping notify all the Security Personnel guarding the Dream Foods Factory to withdraw to Headquarters to enhance the security forces here.


    Seeing Yan Fei''s pained expression, Lu Pingping was very worried. She kept Yan Fei in her embrace, using her own warmth to help soothe his pain.


    As Yan Feiy in Lu Pingping''s arms, feeling her body heat and heartbeat, for some reason, his mood gradually calmed down. The situation he was facing wasplicated, but it was not entirely without the power to fight back. His only hope was the Drone Avatar, and all he could do now was wait, wait for midnight in Shanghai to arrive.


    The waiting time seemed to stretch on endlessly, crawling by slowly, yet never stopping its relentless march forward. 20 minutes finally passed, and the moment of midnight in Shanghai was upon them. Yan Fei closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart.


    Just as it turned midnight in Shanghai, the wreckage of the drone at the bottom of the sea outside Shanghai suddenly emitted a soft white light. This white light gathered the scattered pieces on the seabed together and under the influence of a mysterious power, restored them to aplete drone state. Not only this, but all the drone''s data were refreshed, regaining its powerfulbat powers.


    Far away at the Shanghai Headquarters, Yan Fei shuddered all over, once again feeling the presence of the Drone Avatar and Universal Space. That mysterious power also worked on him, rapidly healing his injuries. Although he still felt weak and listless, he believed it wouldn''t be long before he waspletely healed.


    Feeling the Drone Avatar''s presence once more, Yan Fei''s eyes brimmed with tears. He had never imagined how crucial the Drone Avatar would be to him. Lu Pingping, who was holding him, thought he was in pain again and held him tighter. Yan Fei, feeling slightly embarrassed, gently pushed Lu Pingping away and struggled to sit up, saying, "Pingping, I''m alright now, look, I can sit up by myself."


    Lu Pingping was still worried about Yan Fei''s wellbeing and asked, "What happened to you? Do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?"


    Yan Fei replied, "It''s nothing serious. I experienced what I did just now due to a very special reason, but rest assured, I''m fine. You have to believe me, I wouldn''t lie to you about this."


    Lu Pingping didn''t say more. Although she was worried about Yan Fei''s health, she trusted him more. This was their understanding after all the years of friendship.


    Yan Fei sat on the sofa in the office, slowly regaining his strength, though his main consciousness was attached to the Drone Avatar. After thisser weapon attack, he became even more cautious in his actions and realized there were too many threats in this world capable of endangering it.


    Yan Fei controlled the drone to rapidly rise to the sea surface and then hover one meter above it, activating the Quantum Radar to perform a maximum 500-kilometer range scan in the direction from which the white light came. Indeed, he discovered arge and odd-looking airne in the sky 480 kilometers to the east, equipped with a strange device below it. That must be the airne that had attacked him with theser weapon, and the odd device was indeed theser weapon.


    Although Yan Fei wanted to bring down that huge airne, the enemy had a powerful weapon capable of threatening his safety. Moreover, he and Lu Pingping were currently facing the kidnapping crisis from the Oogawa Family. Yan Fei had to prioritize the safety of himself and Lu Pingping, so for now, he could only let go of the airne that couldunch aser weapon.


    So the drone dipped its nose and re-entered the sea, then used the Quantum Radar to perform a wide-range scan of the seabed. Within a 100-kilometer scanning radius, he quickly found the Red Dragon Submarine moving toward Shanghai, with only 70 kilometers left to the city area.

    The drone spotted the Red Dragon and turned around, beginning to chase after the Red Dragon.


    However, Yan Fei no longer dared to have the drone ascend to the sky in pursuit, as doing so was far too dangerous. He also wasn''t sure if flying close to the sea would be detected by that huge airne capable of firingser weapons, so staying at the bottom of the sea was the safest.


    The underwater cruising speed of the Red Dragon Submarine was only 20 knots, that is, around 36 kilometers per hour, but the underwater speed of Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar reached 150 kilometers per hour, far surpassing that of the Red Dragon. Therefore, ten minutester, the drone had already caught up to the Red Dragon, and by then, they were only 65 kilometers from the Shanghai city area.


    Yan Fei was very cautious. He didn''t get close to the Red Dragon but hid in the territorial waters five kilometers away from it, minimizing the noise he made, and used the quantum radar from afar to monitor its actions. This time the Red Dragon failed to detect the drone. It continued to move forward, and the drone followed at the same speed, always hanging behind it.


    Forty minutester, the Red Dragon Submarine arrived at a point 40 kilometers away from the Shanghai city area. Once there, the Red Dragon no longer continued to move forward but surfaced and waited quietly. It must be said that the stealth of the Japanese Soryu-ss Submarine when they submerged was impressive; the sound level they emitted was extremely low, even quieter than the ambient sea noise, so unless one paid special attention, their presence would be undetectable. This was why the Red Dragon hadn''t been discovered by the China Navy when it covertly entered the waters 40 kilometers off the coast of Shanghai.


    However, if the Red Dragon continued to move forward, it would enter the China Navy''s anti-submarine and would undoubtedly reveal its location. By stopping outside of the anti-submarine, it showed that Japan was very clear about China''s military deployments and could avoid dangerous areas, thus not putting itself at risk.


    A few minutes after surfacing, a medium-sized yacht sailed from the direction of Shanghai and approached the Red Dragon. The yacht''s crew exchanged a few words with the people on the Red Dragon, and then a few individuals boarded the yacht from the Red Dragon. After that, the yacht turned around and sped towards Shanghai. Once the individuals were sent away, the Red Dragon quickly submerged, moved two kilometers away from its original location, andy in wait at the bottom of the sea.


    Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar''s naval cannon couldn''t prate the hull of the Red Dragon, so for now, there was nothing he could do about the submerged Red Dragon. He didn''t approach the Red Dragon but chose to follow the yacht instead. Although the yacht was fast, it was still not as fast as the underwater speed of the drone. The drone quickly caught up with the yacht and quietly followed underneath it, picking up the sounds from above.


    On the yacht, someone spoke in Japanese, "Kazuteru-kun, we''ve confirmed that Yan Fei, the boss of Dream Technology, and General Manager Lu Pingping, are currently all in their headquarters, seemingly discussing something, and haven''t left."


    Another voice asked, "Do you have their photos?"


    The person seemed to show him something and said, "These are their photos. They also have some retired China military personnel protecting them, so Kazuteru-kun, you must be very careful."


    The person called Kazuteru sneered, "What''s the big deal about China''s retired military? Are those who haven''t fought in decades even considered soldiers? Don''t worry. The family assigned me to lead the kidnapping, and nobody can stop my operation."


    It was at this point that Yan Fei finally confirmed that the Red Dragon was indeed a tool for smuggling people. The individuals who boarded the yacht were experts sent by the Oogawa Family, and their target was indeed himself and Lu Pingping.


    Once Yan Fei had confirmed the identities of the few individuals on the yacht, knowing that they were his targets for action tonight, a murderous intent formed in his heart. But he didn''t take action immediately; instead, he allowed the yacht to continue moving forward. Once the yacht had traveled far enough away from the hiding ce of the Red Dragon Submarine, the drone suddenly fired,unching an attack on the yacht.


    Just as the yacht was about to enter China''s territorial waters, it suddenly shook, and a violent explosion urred at the stern. The engine located at the stern was destroyed by the naval cannon. Following that, an even more violent vibration went through the yacht, and in just a couple of seconds, the hull was pierced by the drone''s naval cannon, allowingrge amounts of seawater to rush in.


    The ck-d Oogawa Family members aboard the yacht looked at the person who received them with suspicion and rebuked loudly, "What the hell is going on?" n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The person who came to receive them was somewhat panic-stricken and said, "I don''t know what''s going on, but it seems we''ve been attacked by an unknown force, and the attack ising from the bottom of the sea."


    The man called Kazuteru asked, "Did you leak any information? Is the attacker from below a China submarine?"


    But Kazuteru didn''t wait for an answer because the yacht''s bottom was breached, and suddenly several shots ofrge-caliber naval gun stray bullets flew up from the seabed, turning the guide into mincemeat on the spot.


    Kazuteru was shocked and immediately jumped into the sea, only to see the yacht above suddenly explode. It turned out that the drone''s bullets had hit the fuel tank directly. Diesel from the fuel tank leaked and caused a major explosion. The st inflicted heavy casualties on the people on the yacht, those lucky not to be killed by the explosion were burnt or injured by the fierce mes, and only Kazuteru, who had jumped into the sea in advance, was unharmed.

    91 Chapter 70: A Mysterious Peak Emerges_2


    The yacht that had exploded began to take on water even faster and, within just over ten seconds, hadpletely sunk to the seabed, vanishing from sight. The diesel fuel leaking on the sea surface continued to burn, illuminating the remaining debris from the yacht.


    Yan Fei''s droneunched a fierce naval cannon attack, wiping out most of the enemies onboard the yacht and their rendezvous vessel with just one encounter, avenging the drone which had been dismembered by the enemy''sser weapon.


    After sinking the yacht, Yan Fei utilized the quantum radar for scanning and then discovered several enemies that had slipped through the floating in the seawater. The drone stealthily approached them and used itsrge caliber naval gun to kill them mercilessly. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Finally, Yan Fei noticed onest fugitive swiftly swimming towards Shanghai. That fugitive was none other than Kazuteru Oogawaa from the Oogawa Family who had orchestrated the operation and had jumped into the sea early.


    The drone quickly caught up and fired several cannon rounds, but to its surprise, Kazuteru Oogawa, an exceptional swimmer, anticipated the naval cannon''s trajectory in advance. He dodged the shots in the water with the agility of a fish, narrowly evading the assault. It was clear that Kazuteru Oogawa was a true expert; otherwise, the Oogawa Family would not have entrusted him with such an important mission.


    The droneunched another naval cannon assault, and Kazuteru Oogawa, while swiftly swimming towards Shanghai, continued to observe the trajectory of the underwater cannon shots and once again evaded the attack.


    Having missed twice in a row, Yan Fei''s drone was utterly astonished. Although the naval cannon''s speed and attack range were greatly reduced underwater, and its power was not half of what it was in the air, it remained incredibly deadly. Most people wouldn''t even be able to spot the trajectory of the bullets, let alone avoid them.


    Yet, Kazuteru Oogawa managed it twice. Could he be a monster? It was deep into the night, and beneath the surface, darkness engulfed everything, rendering even the drone''s vision limited. How then could Kazuteru Oogawa detect and evade the bullets aimed at him twice?


    At this thought, Yan Fei secretly felt fortunate. He was d that his drone had cornered Kazuteru Oogawa here, trapping him in the sea. If he had made it tond and used the city''s buildings for cover, the drone would have had to expend a significant amount of ammunition to kill him.


    Though surprised, Yan Fei was not worried. Even with his remarkable skills, Kazuteru Oogawa would not be able topletely avoid the drone''s attack in the sea. The previous missed shots were due to carelessness. Thus, with the quantum radar locked onto his target, the drone began firing forward, releasing a dense barrage of cannon rounds that sealed off all of Kazuteru Oogawa''s possible escape directions.


    Kazuteru Oogawa, realizing his predicament, stopped moving forward and began diving into the deep sea, once again avoiding Yan Fei''s naval cannon attack.


    Yan Fei sneered. If Kazuteru Oogawa had been at the surface, it might have been tolerable, but once in the deep sea, it was as good as losing his ability to resist. So, Yan Fei locked onto Kazuteru Oogawa again and let loose a barrage of cannon rounds. After reaching the seabed, the increased pressure of the seawater greatly slowed Kazuteru Oogawa''s actions, making it impossible for him to dodge the bullets. Despite his desperate attempts to evade, his body was hit by a cannon round.


    Kazuteru Oogawa''s body shook, and a burst of blood bloomed; his speed slowed even further. The drone''s gun barrel rotated again, and a string of bullets were fired, all striking Kazuteru Oogawa''s body. His body was torn apart and he died instantly. As his mangled corpse slowly sank, there was no further movement. This formidable expert had died a stifled death in the vast sea without anyone witnessing his full potential.


    It was only then that Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief, his dealings with the Oogawa Family''s assault finally resolved, ensuring his and Lu Pingping''s safety.


    Yan Fei was not one to forgive and forget easily. Having nearly been abducted by the aggressors and his drone dismembered by theirser weapon, he bore no goodwill towards Japan, and even less so towards the Oogawa Family who were directly responsible, imbuing within him a murderous intent. He had decided that once his body fully recovered, he would head to Japan to teach the Oogawa Family a lesson they would never forget.


    Of course, Wangde Food and the masterminds behind this incident, Ryoko Oogawa and Jo Oogawa, would also pay a price. In Yan Fei''s possession were video evidences of their n to undermine hispany. These videos were certainly meant to be uploaded to the inte, intending to ruin Wangde Food''s reputation. As for Ryoko Oogawa and Jo Oogawa, he would personally ensure they met their end.


    When Yan Fei opened his auxiliary brain, he discovered the Merit Points he had earned from this attack: carrying out a naval cannon attack in the sea off Shanghai, killing 11 people, earning 11 Merit Points;unching a naval cannon attack, sinking one yacht, earning 50 Merit points; altogether from this sortie, he earned 61 Merit Points. In total, he had umted 1850 Merit Points. Although the points gained this time were few, a mosquito''s leg is still flesh, and his drone was one step closer to an upgrade.


    Just as Yan Fei was feeling increasingly better because he had wiped out a kidnap squad of the Oogawa Family, causing his Drone Merit Points to rise once again, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Dream Technology headquarters office suddenly exploded, sending ss debris flying everywhere.


    Yan Fei was startled and used thest of his strength to pull Lu Pingping behind him for protection, only for his own back to be shed by the flying ss, drenching him in blood. Then, Yan Fei saw a burly man d in ck standing in front of the shattered window.


    Yan Fei was shocked and immediately called out, "Captain Wang!"


    The man in ck spoke in broken Chinese, "Yan Fei, there''s no use calling out, I have already taken down your security. But don''t worry, they''re not harmed. My purpose today is only you and Lu Pingping behind you."


    A chill settled in Yan Fei''s heart as he suddenly realized that there was a significant oversight in his strategy from what this man in ck had said. The question was, how many groups did the Oogawa Family send to carry out the kidnapping?


    Yan Fei had previously thought that the Oogawa Family had only dispatched people to infiltrate Shanghai by sea, so he had stationed the Drones over the ocean. Now, it seemed that the group led by Kazuteru Oogawa, who snuck into Shanghai from sea, was just one part of the Oogawa Family''s forces. They might not even be the main kidnap squad; their task could very well be to escort the others safely out of China once the kidnapping was sessful, as evidenced by the Red Dragon still lurking submerged just off the coast of Shanghai.


    The real executor of the kidnapping n sent by the Oogawa Family might well be this man in ck. Initially indiscernible in nationality, his broken Chinese and the hint of a Japanese ent suggested that he was probably the true executor of this operation for the Oogawa Family.


    This man in ck stood there, exuding a strong sense of oppression over Yan Fei. With his current insight, Yan Fei could tell at a nce that this man was terrifyingly powerful, far exceeding the blonde woman he had encountered in Africa.


    As a result of the bacsh from the dismemberment of his Drone Avatar, Yan Fei had utterly lost hisbat power and still hadn''t recovered even a tiny bit of it. In other words, Yan Fei was now at his weakest in terms ofbat power in his entire life, unable to beat even an ordinary person, let alone confront this incredibly powerful man in ck.


    Yan Fei suffered from an intelligence shortfall, leading to a fatal mistake in his battle n. He had thought he could use the power of the Drones to eliminate all iing enemies, which is why he stationed them at sea. Despiteplications, even having a Drone dismembered by aser weapon, he ultimately managed to use the Drones to wipe out Kazuteru Oogawa''s squad that attacked from the sea.


    However, Yan Feicked thorough consideration and missed something while focusing on something else. Although he had eliminated the enemies on the sea surface, he neglected the enemies onnd, leaving his headquarters defenseless and with no formidable defense force in ce, allowing the real enemy to infiltrate while his physical body was incapable of resistance.


    Since obtaining his Drone Avatar, Yan Fei had never faced a formidable enemy without any means to fight back. Tonight, he was about to face the most difficult challenge of his life.

    92 Chapter 71 Extremely Dangerous


    Yan Fei forced himself to remain calm while he urgentlymanded the Drone in the Shanghai''s offshore skies to ascend rapidly and fly towards the city area at high speed. At this point, he could no longer concern himself with concealing the Drone''s presence, nor care if it was discovered by others; he only hoped the Drone could return to Shanghai in the shortest time possible to alleviate the crisis he and Lu Pingping were facing.


    Although Yan Fei had lost hisbat power, his eyesight was still sharp. The man in ck was no ordinary adversary, his strength even greater than the blonde woman he had encountered in Africa. Even in his prime, without relying on the Drone, Yan Fei would not be a match for the man in ck, let alone now when he waspletely powerless. All he could do was to try to buy time and wait for the return of the Drone, hoping to turn the tables and counterattack.


    The man in ck looked at Yan Fei and Lu Pingping but didn''t immediately make a move. Instead, he nced at his watch, then outside the building, appearing somewhat anxious. Yan Fei understood that the man in ck must be waiting for the elite team from the Oogawa Familying from the sea, but he did not know that they would never be able to arrive.


    The man in ckpletely disregarded Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, observing the outside of the building without any inhibition. This indicated that the man in ck was confident in his own strength, not worried at all that Yan Fei and Lu Pingping could escape. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    To buy time, Yan Fei asked, "Who are you? Why have youe here?"


    Surprisingly, the man in ck answered honestly, "My name is Hideo Oogawa, from Japan''s Oogawa Family. As for why I''m here? I received orders from my family to capture you and the woman behind you and bring you back to Japan."


    Yan Fei''s back was filled with shards of ss, blood dripping everywhere, and it had even pooled on the floor around him. Lu Pingping came out from behind Yan Fei, holding him as hepletely lost strength. She started to remove the ss from his body and tore off pieces of her own clothing to bandage his wounds and stop the bleeding. While bandaging Yan Fei, she said, "I understand, you''vee to capture us because of the Weight Loss Cookie form of ourpany, right?"


    Previously, Yan Fei had told Lu Pingping about Wangde Food, but he didn''t mention thepany''s background and the Japanese''s intention to kidnap them. However, Lu Pingping was very smart and deduced Hideo Oogawa''s background from their brief conversation.


    The man in ck looked at Lu Pingping appreciatively, not stopping her bandaging actions, and said, "Exactly, our people previously stole your Weight Loss Cookie form, but we couldn''t produce a qualified product. So, we believe you''ve hidden the real form data, and capturing you to take back to Japan is to get the real form."


    Yan Fei pushed Lu Pingping away and said to the man in ck, "You really are relentless, actually daring toe here in person and even to kidnap. But your target is me; I know the true form of the product, this woman knows nothing."


    Seeing escape was impossible, Yan Fei told the man in ck that he held the real form data; even if he was temporarily captured, it wouldn''t matter. All he needed was to endure this period, and once the Drone returned to Shanghai, he would be able to fight back. To avoid involving Lu Pingping, he exposed himself voluntarily, wanting to keep her safe.


    The man in ckughed, "I am a simple man, not as clever as you. I don''t know who holds the product form, so I must employ the simplest approach, which is to take both of you back to Japan. Once there, under the hands of the family elite, naturally, we will uncover all the information we want."


    Lu Pingping suddenly sneered and said, "I''ve heard about your Oogawa Family. Although not very renowned worldwide, you have deep roots and the power to turn things upside down in Japanese politics. I''m certain you''ve done your research beforeing here; this man is simply a nouveau riche from demolition settlements, with a bit of money but no education or skills. How could he possibly have such a high-tech form? I previously met a down-and-out expert in Beijing and bought the secret of the Weight Loss Cookies from him, so the ultimate secret of thispany is known to no one but me. I can share this secret with you, but only if you fulfill a condition. If you don''tply, I will immediately bite my tongue and kill myself, and I won''t share the form with you, leaving your efforts in vain."


    Yan Fei was moved by her act. He knew Lu Pingping was trying to protect him by deceiving the man in ck. But as a man, how could he hide behind a woman? Before he could speak, the man in ck already said, "Lu Pingping, our Oogawa Family has investigated you, and we know you are capable, which I, as a man, respect. So, go ahead and state your condition, and let''s see if I can agree to it."


    Lu Pingping pointed at Yan Fei and said, "Let him go, and I wille with you, and also tell you the form for the product."


    The man in ck shook his head and said, "Impossible, my orders are to capture both of you, not one less. Whether or not I get the product form doesn''t really matter much to me. I am a martial artist, only interested in training. So I cannot fulfill your request."


    Under Yan Fei''s control, the Drone Avatar was rapidly flying towards the Shanghai city area, but it was still some distance away from the Dream Technology headquarters, requiring at least two more minutes to arrive. Therefore, time was of the essence for Yan Fei.

 Chapter 93 Chapter 71 Extremely Dangerous_2

    93 Chapter 71 Extremely Dangerous_2


    So Yan Fei began to dy time by saying, "Hideo Oogawa, you should know that I have defeated a Taekwondo master from South Korea. I am a martial artist, and not just any, but a super expert. If it were normal times, if you dared to speak to me this way, I would kill you as easily as killing a dog. It''s only because I''m injured now that you are acting arrogantly here."


    Hideo Oogawaughed heartily and said, "To im to be a martial artist, moreover a super expert, just because you defeated a Taekwondo performer is reallyughable. It''s not that I look down on you Chinese martial artists, but those so-called experts are nothing before me, only fit to be captured without a fight. I don''t even take them seriously."


    No sooner had Hideo Oogawa''s words fallen than a voice emerged in the room.


    "Hideo Oogawa, what a big mouth you have, not fearing a gust of wind could twist your tongue! This is China, not Japan!"


    The voice suddenly appeared, its volume fluctuating yet starkly clear. It was elusive, echoing everywhere, making it impossible to pinpoint the speaker''s location.


    Hideo Oogawa, who had been full of confidence, changed his expression. He swiftly moved towards Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, only to find his vision blur as a young man suddenly appeared in front of Yan Fei and Lu Pingping. The young man emitted a very clean vibe, and upon appearing, he smiled at Hideo Oogawa.


    Hideo Oogawa halted in his steps, surprised, "Duan Hongye, it''s you! What are you doing here?"


    The man named Duan Hongye replied, "Hideo Oogawa, this is China, the turf of the China Special Duties Unit. Why can''t I be here? As for you, daring to try to kidnap one of China''s excellent entrepreneurs, it seems you are tired of living."


    Hideo Oogawa''s face went through a session of changes as he suddenly backed away. Just like that, he retreated and jumped out of the shattered window, vanishing from sight.


    Duan Hongye stepped forward to look at the night sky where Hideo Oogawa had disappeared, but he did not say a word. After a while, he turned to look at Yan Fei and said, "Yan Fei, that Japanese man is gone, and since I''ve shown up here, he won''te back. So you can rest assured, no one else wille after you now."


    Not only was the room''s floor scattered with ss shards, but also Yan Fei''s blood. Due to the bleeding not being stopped, the blood kept flowing out, with one stream reaching Duan Hongye''s feet, nearly staining his shoes. Duan Hongye showed a trace of an enigmatic expression, then shifted his feet to avoid the blood.


    Duan Hongye continued, "This is China, the domain of our own Chinese people. Nobody can run wild here. If you have any trouble in the future, remember to seek help from the local government departments. You are a legitimate Chinese enterprise, one of our own. As long as you''re within the country, there is no problem we cannot solve."


    Yan Fei, observing the clean young man who had suddenly appeared iming to be from the China Special Duties Unit, felt a wave of extreme danger in his heart. He watched Duan Hongye stand there, looking as if he didn''t exist at all¡ªa conflicting feeling that nearly made Yan Fei ufortably nauseous. He immediatelybeled Duan Hongye as extremely dangerous. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Apart from Coach Wang Yong, who had taught Yan Fei martial arts, Duan Hongye''s strength far surpassed any expert Yan Fei had known before. The very formidable experts he had met before seemed pitifully weak in front of Duan Hongye, not to mention himself.


    Moreover, Yan Fei recognized this Duan Hongye; he was the same young man who had appeared at Shanghai Port on the night he had killed Zhang Baocheng. At that time, due to the distance, he hadn''t noticed how formidable Duan Hongye was. Now, facing him personally, he immediately sensed his terror. Even Hideo Oogawa, who seemedwless, fled upon seeing Duan Hongye.


    Duan Hongye watched Yan Fei as if trying to find something in his eyes, but, unfortunately, Yan Fei appeared entirely natural and didn''t give anything away. Duan Hongye suddenly said, "Let''s part here, and hope to meet again in the future!"


    Then, as Yan Fei and Lu Pingping''s vision blurred, Duan Hongye suddenly vanished, leaving no trace of how he had left, as ineffable as his arrival had been. If not for the burst windows, the shattered ss, and the pool of blood on the floor, Yan Fei would have doubted whether what he just experienced was an illusion.


    Lu Pingping had never encountered such extraordinary individuals before, and seeing Duan Hongye''s abilities left her stunned. Yet, she, unlike Yan Fei, failed to recognize the frightening aspects of Duan Hongye. She saw Yan Fei struggling to stand and hurried over to support him. The two leaned on each other and went to the broken window to look down, only to see darkness below, unable to discern any direction the Oogawa hero or Duan Hongye might have gone¡­


    Now that the most significant threat had been driven away by Duan Hongye, Yan Fei let out a sigh of relief. The Drone Avatar, which had been dashing wildly over the sea, immediately slowed down and decreased its altitude before diving back into the sea bed. At this point, the Drone Avatar was less than five kilometers away from the Shanghai coastline. The drone continued its stealthy underwater journey, turned around, and headed towards the lurking spot of the Red Dragon Submarine off the Shanghai coast.


    Having witnessed Duan Hongye''s unpredictable powers, Yan Fei realized the nation''s strength. Fortunately, he hadn''t directly challenged the state''s authority; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Seeing Yan Fei covered in wounds and still bleeding, Lu Pingping immediately called for an ambnce. Believing in Duan Hongye''s parting promise, Yan Fei was convinced there wouldn''t be any more trouble tonight and thus didn''t stop Lu Pingping from calling. Although his robust recovery abilities meant his injuries would heal before long, he didn''t want to continue worrying the woman who cared for him.


    About ten minutester, the drone arrived at the seabed location marked by the Auxiliary Brain and discovered the Red Dragon Submarine lurking static on the seafloor.


    The location was only forty kilometers away from Shanghai''s city area, close enough for the drone''s Quantum Radar to connect with the city''s Intework. The drone activated its Quantum Radar and began searching for nearby free WIFI, eventually connecting to a bar''s free WIFI at the Shanghai Port.


    The Drone Avatar began to ess the Inte, finding the Shanghai Public Security Bureau''s website, and left a message indicating it had discovered a Japanese Soryu-ss Submarine lurking offshore from Shanghai. The submarine was deemed a threat to national security, apanied by a map pinpointing the location of the Red Dragon.


    Yan Fei didn''t just leave a message on the Shanghai Public Security Bureau''s website. He also contacted the websites of China''s Ministry of Public Security, Foreign Affairs Ministry, Ministry of National Defense, and the Central Military Commission, repeatedly sending the same message.


    With the Drone Avatar beneath the sea and unable tounch missiles, depending solely on the drone''s Naval Cannon was insufficient to sink the Red Dragon Submarine. However, having almost suffered greatly at the hands of the Oogawa Family that night and with his drone once dismembered by a Japaneseser weapon, Yan Fei was filled with rage. Therefore, he sent the location of the Soryu-ss Submarine to the national websites, leaving it up to the country to deal with the Red Dragon.

    94 Chapter 71 Extremely Dangerous


    Yan Fei forced himself to remain calm, his heartmanding the Drone to ascend from the Shanghai sea swiftly and fly toward the city area at high speed. At this point, he could no longer care about keeping the Drone''s traces hidden, nor if it was discovered by others; he just hoped it could return to Shanghai as quickly as possible to avert the crisis he and Lu Pingping were facing.


    Although Yan Fei had lost hisbat power, his eyesight remained sharp. The man in ck was extraordinary, even stronger than the blonde woman he had encountered in Africa. Even in his prime, without relying on the Drone, Yan Fei would not have been a match for the man in ck, let alone now when he was utterly incapacitated. All he could do was try to stall for time and wait for the Drone''s return to turn the situation around.


    The man in ck eyed Yan Fei and Lu Pingping but did not immediately move to attack. Instead, he nced at his watch, then at the building exterior, betraying an anxious demeanor. Yan Fei understood that the man in ck was surely waiting for an elite team from the Oogawa Family to arrive from the sea, but what he did not know was that the elite team would never make it in time.


    The man in ck, utterly dismissing Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, observed the building exterior carelessly. This showed his confidence in his own strength and totalck of concern about their potential escape.


    Yan Fei started to buy time, asking, "Who are you? Why have youe here?"


    Surprisingly, the man in ck replied candidly, "My name is Hideo Oogawa, from Japan''s Oogawa Family. As for why I''m here? It''s because I''ve been ordered by my family to capture you and the woman behind you and bring you back to Japan."


    Yan Fei''s back was riddled with ss shards, blood dripping all over, even the floor was stained with it. Lu Pingping emerged from behind Yan Fei, holding him as he hadpletely lost his strength, and began to remove the ss from his body. She tore off her own clothes to bandage and stop his bleeding. While dressing Yan Fei''s wounds, she said, "I get it; you''re here to kidnap us for our Company''s form for the Weight Loss Cookies, aren''t you?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Yan Fei had previously told Lu Pingping about the issues with Wangde Food, just not that the Japanese were behind their kidnapping. But Lu Pingping was very smart and had deduced Hideo Oogawa''s background from their brief conversation.


    The man in ck watched Lu Pingping with appreciation, not stopping her from bandaging, and said, "Correct, our people previously stole your form for the Weight Loss Cookies, but we couldn''t produce a qualified product. We believe you''ve hidden the real form, and capturing you is for obtaining that very form."


    Yan Fei pushed Lu Pingping away and told the man in ck, "You really are persistent, daring toe after us and even kidnap people. However, your target is me; I know the real form of the product. This woman knows nothing."


    Facing no escape, Yan Fei informed the man in ck that he was in possession of the real form data. Even if he were temporarily taken away, it wouldn''t matter. As long as he survived this period and waited for the Drone to return to Shanghai, he would be able to turn the tables. He exposed himself to protect Lu Pingping and keep her safe.


    The man in ck smirked, "I''m a simple man, not as clever as you. I don''t know which of you has the product form, so I have to take the simplest approach¡ªtake both of you back to Japan. Once there, under the family elites'' methods, we''ll inevitably find out all the information we want to know."


    Lu Pingping suddenly sneered, "I''ve heard of your Oogawa Family. While not very famous worldwide, you have deep roots, enough to turn the tides in Japan''s political arena. I believe you''ve done your research beforeing. This man is just a demolition nouveau riche, handy with a bit of money but uneducated. How could he possibly possess such high-technology form? I bought the form for the Weight Loss Cookies from a down-and-out expert in Beijing, so the ultimate secret of our Company is known to no one but me. I can tell you this secret, but I have one condition. If you don''t agree, I will bite my tongue andmit suicide, taking the product form to my grave and leaving you empty-handed."


    Moved inside, Yan Fei knew Lu Pingping was trying to protect him by deceiving the man in ck. How could he, a man of honor, hide behind a woman? Before he could speak, the man in ck said, "Lu Pingping, our Oogawa Family has investigated you. I, as a man, admire your capability. So, say your condition, let''s see if I can agree."


    Pointing at Yan Fei, Lu Pingping stated, "Let him go, and I''lle with you and give you the product form."


    The man in ck shook his head, "Impossible. My orders are to take both of you, not one less. Whether or not we get the product form doesn''t really concern me; I am a martial artist, only interested in cultivation, so I can''t fulfill your request."


    Under Yan Fei''s control, the Drone Avatar was speeding towards the city area of Shanghai. However, it was still some distance away from the city, and it would take at least two more minutes to reach Dream Technology headquarters, making every second critical for Yan Fei.

    95 Chapter 71 Extremely Dangerous_2


    ```


    So Yan Fei began to stall for time and said, "Hideo Oogawa, you should know that I have defeated a Taekwondo master from South Korea; I am also a martial artist, and a super expert at that. If it were under normal circumstances, and you dared to speak to me like this, I would kill you as easily as killing a dog. It''s just that I am injured now, which is why you are acting arrogant here."


    Hideo Oogawa burst intoughter and said, "iming to be a martial artist, even a super expert, just because you beat Taekwondo performers that can only put on a show, is trulyughable. I don''t mean to belittle you martial artists of China, but those experts are nothing more than easy captures before me, I simply disregard them."


    No sooner had Hideo Oogawa finished speaking than a voice appeared in the room.


    "Hideo Oogawa, such arrogance. Aren''t you afraid of the wind snapping your tongue? This is China, not Japan!"


    This voice suddenly emerged, its volume fluctuating, yet it was incredibly clear. Ethereal and elusive, echoing from all directions, it was impossible to tell the location of the speaker.


    Hideo Oogawa''s confident expression changed as he swiftly moved to close in on Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, only to find his vision blur. Suddenly, a young man appeared in front of Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, giving off an extremely clean vibe. As soon as he appeared, he smiled at Hideo Oogawa.


    Hideo Oogawa halted and with a look of surprise asked, "Duan Hongye, is that you! Why are you here?"


    The man named Duan Hongye replied, "Hideo Oogawa, this is China, the territory of the China Special Duties Unit. Why can''t I be here? But you, you actually n to kidnap one of our esteemed entrepreneurs of China, it seems you truly have a death wish."


    Hideo Oogawa''s face went through a series of changes, his body suddenly retreating, and just like that, he leapt out through the shattered window and disappeared from sight.


    Duan Hongye took a step forward, gazing into the night sky from where Hideo Oogawa had vanished, but said nothing. After a while, he turned to Yan Fei and said, "Yan Fei, that Japanese man has gone. My presence here guarantees he won''te back, so you can rest assured, no one wille after you again."


    The floor of the room was not only covered with ss shards but also with Yan Fei''s blood. Since the bleeding hadn''t stopped, blood continued to seep out. One particr stream of blood reached Duan Hongye''s feet, threatening to dirty his shoes. Duan Hongye showed a mysterious expression, then shifted his footsteps to avoid the blood.


    Duan Hongye continued, "This is China, thend of our own Chinese people, and no one can run wild here. If any trouble arises in the future, remember to ask the local government departments for help. You run awful business in China, you are one of us, and as long as it''s within our borders, there is nothing we can''t handle."


    Yan Fei looked at this suddenly-appeared self-proimed member of the China Special Duties Unit, a clean young man, feeling an extreme sense of danger. Watching Duan Hongye stand there as if he didn''t exist, this conflicting sensation was almost unbearably distressing, prompting Yan Fei to immediatelybel Duan Hongye as extremely dangerous.


    Other than Coach Wang Yong who had taught him martial arts, Duan Hongye''s strength far exceeded that of any experts Yan Fei had previously encountered. Those very formidable experts he had previously met seemed weak and helpless before Duan Hongye, to say nothing of himself.


    And Yan Fei did recognize this Duan Hongye. He was the young man who had appeared at Shanghai Port the night he killed Zhang Baocheng. At that time, due to the distance between them, he hadn''t realized Duan Hongye''s potency. Now, facing him directly, he instantly recognized the terror. Even Hideo Oogawa, who had appearedwless, had fled upon seeing Duan Hongye.


    Duan Hongye looked at Yan Fei as if trying to discover something in his eyes. Unfortunately for him, Yan Fei appeared natural, and Duan Hongye could not discern anything. Suddenly, Duan Hongye said, "Let''s part ways here, until we meet again!"


    Then, before Yan Fei and Lu Pingping''s eyes blurred, Duan Hongye vanished, leaving no inkling of how he had departed. It was as inexplicable as his appearance, utterly defying any rationale. Were it not for the office''s shattered windows and the ss shards and blood on the floor, Yan Fei might have even doubted whether the experience had been an illusion. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Lu Pingping, who had never seen such extraordinary figures, was stunned by Duan Hongye''s abilities. Unlike Yan Fei, she failed to sense the terror Duan Hongye possessed. Seeing Yan Fei struggle to stand, she hurriedly went to support him. The two huddled together at the broken window, looking down into the darkness, seeing nothing of where Hideo Oogawa and Duan Hongye might have gone...


    Now that the biggest threat had been scared off by Duan Hongye, Yan Fei rxed. The Drone Avatar rushing across the sea''s surface immediately slowed down and descended. Then its nose dipped as it submerged once more, approaching the coastline of Shanghai only five kilometers away. As the drone navigated underwater toward the lurking location of the Red Dragon Submarine off Shanghai''s coast, it made a turn.


    Having witnessed Duan Hongye''s unfathomable abilities, Yan Fei finally understood the strength of the nation. Fortunately, he had not directly challenged the government''s authority, or the consequences would have been unimaginable. Seeing Yan Fei bloodied and injured, Lu Pingping immediately called for an ambnce. Trusting Duan Hongye''s assurance, Yan Fei believed there would be no further incidents tonight and did not stop her. Although he had strong regenerative abilities and would soon recover from his wounds, he didn''t want to worry the woman who cared for him anymore.


    Ten minutester, the drone reached the Auxiliary Brain-marked seafloor and found the Red Dragon Submarine lurking motionlessly.


    The location was only forty kilometers away from Shanghai''s city area, and the drone''s Quantum Radar was now able to connect to the city''s intework. So the drone activated the Quantum Radar and started searching for nearby free WIFI, sessfully connecting to the WIFI of a bar at Shanghai Port.

 Chapter 96 Chapter 72 The Distant Africa

    96 Chapter 72 The Distant Africa


    After this harrowing experience, Yan Fei realized a lot of things. There are indeed many remarkable and extraordinary individuals in this world, and they are all very formidable, making his current level of strength look paltry in their eyes.


    Not to mention Duan Hongye, as she is simply too powerful and on a different level; even Hideo Oogawa is not someone that Yan Fei can handle at the moment. What''s more, his Drone Avatar faces many threats, including the mysterious and deadlyser weapons which are its nemesis. Additionally, the attack capability of the drone underwater is extremely weak; even under continuous assault from the Drone Avatar''s naval cannon, the defense of a Soryu-ss Submarine''s hull cannot be breached in the deep sea.


    From this lesson, Yan Fei gained a better understanding of his own strengths and weaknesses. However, he wasn''t discouraged, because his Drone Avatar could be upgraded, and once the drone underwent another upgrade, his strength would surge once again, allowing him to confront these experts head-on. With another upgrade based on the "Predator Drone," itsbat power would be undoubtedly even more terrifying, and it would possess the ability to fight a deep-sea submarine.


    Yan Fei was not the sort to forget a grudge easily. Although the form for his weight loss cookies stolen by the Oogawa Family was not the real one, it still left him feeling indignant. Moreover, he and Lu Pingping had been nearly kidnapped by them, which fueled his anger. Even though he had already annihted a team of experts sent by the Oogawa Family on the sea and caused the Japanese government to lose a high-tech submarine, none of these actions were enough to quell his rage.


    Now, Yan Fei''s most important task was to get enough rest in the hospital. Once his body fully recovered, he would head to Japan to seek revenge against the Oogawa Family. However, his injuries this time were quite peculiar; losing a lot of blood from cuts by ss shards did not greatly affect him, but what actually hindered Yan Fei''s ability to move was the Spiritual Soul Tearing caused by his Drone Avatar being destroyed by theser weapon. Although the Drone Avatarter auto-repaired itself, the damage to Yan Fei''s Spiritual Soul had not healed as quickly, so he could only wait patiently for the healing of his Spiritual Soul. Before his Spiritual Soul fully recovered, his physical body was unable to take any action.


    Yan Fei was definitely going to seek revenge against the Oogawa Family in Japan, but he wouldn''t forget about Wangde Food in China. So, he uploaded the video footage he secretly recorded that night to the Drone Assisted Intelligent Brain, then, under his direction, the Auxiliary Brain edited the video and added a great deal of textmentary. He then used the quantum radar of the drone to connect to some free WIFI in the Shanghai city area and uploaded these videos and text images to various major forums and news websites within China.


    Very quickly, the inte was flooded with videos of Japanese individuals stealing top-secret manufacturing processes from a Chinese enterprise, and the two Japanese in the video even attempted to kidnap an outstanding Chinese entrepreneur for their unspeakable objectives. With Yan Fei''s deliberate editing, Ryoko Oogawa and Jo Oogawa appeared incredibly nefarious in the video, instantly inciting dislike from viewers, whereas Dream Foods seemed very pitiful and garnered sympathy.


    These videos spread like wildfire, appearing everywhere on major websites, even on personal sites with hardly any traffic. Even if these videos were deleted, they would be re-uploaded in a very short time under the control of the Auxiliary Brain to ensure the videos remained trending.


    Soon enough, these videos, tirelessly promoted by the Drone Assisted Intelligent Brain, went viral on the inte. People then realized that there was an enterprise within China that survived by stealing business secrets frompetitors; what infuriated them even more was that it was a Japanese enterprise fully controlled by Japanese capital. They were even more outraged to learn that this Japanese enterprise also owned a garbage import nt, massively importing nonpliant trash from overseas for profit, causing significant damage and impact on China''s domestic environment.


    Wangde Food rapidly became infamous domestically, and Ryoko Oogawa and Jo Oogawa, being well-informed, fled China for Japan as soon as they got wind of it. Thus, by the time the police arrived at Wangde Food, they only managed to apprehend the production manager, Manager Xiang. Unfortunately, he knew little, and the police didn''t obtain any useful information from him.


    Following a detailed review of the videos made public online and the testimony of Manager Xiang, the relevant departments listed Ryoko Oogawa and Jo Oogawa as criminal suspects and issued a worldwide warrant for their arrest, demanding their extradition from the Japanese government. Regrettably, the Japanese government refused the extradition request from China, citing insufficient evidence. Consequently, China and Japan once again entered a mode of dispute, with both sides exchanging usations and neither willing to back down.


    Within China, those agents who had abandoned Dream Foods to cheer for Wangde Food were all being investigated by the national authorities, and it seemed they wouldn''t be able to disentangle themselves from the affair anytime soon. Furthermore, the police also arrested several experts and verified ount holders who were taking money to do dirty work, initiating criminal prosecutions against them. Also apprehended were several organized "water army" groups, to the excitement of the onlooking crowd. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    As the victim, Dream Foods re-emerged on the national stage, and the knowledge of their weight loss cookies spread to more consumers, resulting in a sales surge to 100,000 boxes per day in a short period of time. Sensing an opportunity, overseas businessmen began arriving in Shanghai to discuss with Lu Pingping the possibility of expanding the weight loss cookies into the international market.


    In this incident, Dream Foods may have been the victim, but Lu Pingping skillfully used this favorable wind, coupled with her expert operational and nning abilities, to take her family''s product sales to the next level, fully disying Lu Pingping''s managerial and operational talents.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª


    In the remote vige of Aywei in Kenya, near the border with Tanzania, the Temporary Hospital of the M¨¦decins Sans Fronti¨¨res (Doctors Without Borders) organization that Wen Rou belonged to had not seen any new cases of Eb Virus infection or deaths for some time. Only then did the doctors begin to rx, as this situation represented the control of thetest Eb Virus outbreak.


    Wen Rou also heaved a sigh of relief. She had seen too many patients die in agony, helpless, all of which saddened her greatly. She only felt some respite when she thought of a certain someone.


    Then, one midday, unexpected visitors arrived at the Temporary Hospital. Three inly dressed Caucasian men, apanied by several local government officials, came to the Temporary Hospital.


    Wen Rou was summoned by these men to a secluded room. After a brief introduction from the local government officials, who then left, the three Caucasian men sat behind a table equipped with some unknown instruments, beginning their questioning of Wen Rou.


    "Miss Wen Rou, are you an American citizen?"


    Wen Rou answered, "Yes, I am an American national."


    The person opposite asked, "Then are you willing to contribute your strength for the national interest?"


    Wen Rou immediately became vignt, but still said, "I am willing to serve my country within my capacity."


    The person opposite said, "Good, you now know that we are agents of the US CIA Africa Action Group, my name is Kelly, and these two are my colleagues Huo and Thomas. We havee to you, hoping to obtain some definite information from you, something that''s totally within your capacity."


    Wen Rou said, "Of course, I am very willing to provide you with information, provided that I know this information."


    That CIA agent named Kelly then said, "About twenty days ago, did your temporary hospital admit a young Chinese man?"


    Wen Rou said, "Chinese people rarely appear here, and we have not admitted any young Chinese men."


    Kelly asked, "However, we have received reliable information that you did indeed admit a young Chinese man, and he was unconscious when he was found. It was you who discovered him on the river, and he was treated here for some time."


    Wen Rou shook her head firmly and said, "I have no idea who you''re talking about, I emphasize again, we have not admitted any Chinese men, and I have not found any unconscious people on the river."


    The three CIA agents looked at each other and said, "Miss Wen Rou, are you sure you haven''t admitted any Chinese men? Are you willing to take responsibility for your words?"


    Wen Rou affirmed, "I truly have not seen any Chinese men, and I can take responsibility for my words."


    After hearing Wen Rou''s affirmation, the three CIA agents appeared somewhat stunned. They hade prepared today to use the temporary hospital as a breakthrough point to find the information about the suspect who had shot down their five airnes, killed over a hundred US military soldiers, and murdered a senior CIA agent, but they did not expect the first person they questioned to respond in this manner.


    Agent Kelly pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Alright, thank you, Miss Wen Rou, for the information you''ve provided. We will proceed with a careful check. Please go to another room to rest for now, but do not leave the premises."


    Wen Rou then got up and left the room. Just as she stepped out, she suddenly sighed and a worried expression appeared on her face.


    Following Wen Rou''s departure, the next person to enter the CIA agents'' room was the chief doctor of the temporary hospital, Dr. Bob, who, after receiving the CIA agents'' introduction, was also asked if the temporary hospital had treated a young Chinese man.


    Dr. Bob showed a puzzled look on his face, thought for a moment, and then said, "Our temporary hospital treats only local cks infected with the Eb virus, we definitely haven''t treated any young Chinese men, you must be mistaken."


    The three CIA agents looked at each other with bemusement. After repeated questioning, Dr. Bob still affirmatively said that the temporary hospital had not admitted any young Chinese men. Thus, after Dr. Bob left the room, the other doctors and nurses of the temporary hospital were also one by one questioned by the CIA agents, and without exception, all denied that the temporary hospital had ever treated a young Chinese man.

 Chapter 97 Chapter 73 Mysterious Power

    97 Chapter 73 Mysterious Power


    This unexpected situation left the three hopeful CIA agents deeply disappointed, so they called over the CIA informant in the area to question him. It was the intelligence from this local informant that informed the CIA of a Chinese young man being treated at this temporary hospital.


    More than twenty days ago, before US fighter jets, army troops, and senior CIA agents were killed, they had all sent back some intelligence. Although iplete, these reports all mentioned a Chinese young man. So when the three CIA agents learned that the temporary hospital near the crime scene was treating a Chinese young man, they calcted the timing and suspected that this individual was likely the Chinese person responsible for eliminating arge number of their own nationals and equipment.


    Therefore, the three CIA agents rushed to the temporary hospital, hoping to follow the clues to find the Chinese man. Not only could they recover the mission items lost by the senior CIA agents, but also avenge theirpatriots. However, they did not expect to encounter this situation at the temporary hospital. Everyone there denied having treated a Chinese young man, which took them by surprise. They had no choice but to question their informant once again.


    But a strange thing happened. When the three CIA agents questioned the informant once more about the intelligence on the Chinese young man, the informant appeared to be extremely astonished, with a facial expression indicatingplete ignorance. He imed that he had no intelligence on any Chinese young man and had not reported any sightings of such individuals.


    This sudden turn of events left the three CIA agents dumbfounded. They had clearly heard this informant mention this intelligence, and yet he was now denying it. Unfortunately, they had not recorded the intelligence when they received it, so they couldn''t present evidence to confront the informant. The three agents didn''t give up and decided to use a lie detector on the informant. What was even more bizarre was that the data from the lie detector confirmed that the informant wasn''t lying, meaning his statement about not having discovered the Chinese young man was true. The three CIA agents had not received any information about the Chinese young man from the informant.


    This incredible result left the three CIA agents feeling bewildered, even beginning to doubt whether their lives were real or if they were dreaming. One agent had a sudden idea to find out if the words they spoke were true, so he suggested they use the lie detector on each other. But when they tried testing each other with the detector, they found they indeed had received intelligence about the Chinese young man from the informant, and they weren''t lying about it. The entire situation seemed peculiar beyond belief.


    While the three CIA agents felt a chill in their hearts, their colleagues in Kenya''s capital, Nairobi, sent them thetest investigative information. So they left Aywei Vige and rushed to Nairobi, where they exchanged intelligence and continued the investigation.


    When Yan Fei seized the rusted gear in Africa, he managed to eliminate the blonde woman and her Caucasian partner Sam and even annihted the attacking US Army and ground forces. However, his information had leaked to some extent. In this world, it is only the United States that bullies others; nobody dares bully the United States. Therefore, the aggrieved US Government swore to retaliate for this incident and began a massive intelligence collection effort in Africa to find the Chinese man who had challenged them. The three CIA agents who had gone to Aywei Vige to gather intelligence were just one team; there was an evenrger group of intelligence analysts in Nairobi conducting intelligence analysis.


    At the US Embassy in Nairobi, in the operation analysis room, more than a dozen American intelligence personnel were engaged in tense intelligence exchange and analysis, including the three CIA agents who had just returned from Aywei Vige.


    At this time, a ck intelligence officer was giving a briefing in front of a projector.


    "We obtained the list of arrivals and departures at Nairobi Airport from a week before the incident and the clearance videos of these individuals entering Nairobi Airport. However, on the morning of the incident, Nairobi Airport''s management system malfunctioned. This malfunctionsted two hours, so we do not have any clearance information or rted data during those two hours."


    The person leading this intelligence analysis meeting was a middle-aged Caucasian named Lynch. Upon hearing about the airport malfunction, he immediately furrowed his brow and asked, "Why did the airport''s management system malfunction at that time? Have you looked into the reason?"


    The ck man replied, "Our technical department has already examined it. The airport''s management system had been used for too long, leading to hardware failure, which resulted in the disruption at that moment, failing to record the data for those two hours. Our technicians have confirmed that this malfunction was idental and have ruled out human involvement."


    Lynch asked, "So, is there any possibility of recovering the data for those two hours?"


    The ck man shook his head and said, "We''ve done our best, but the data is permanently lost and cannot be recovered."


    Lynch then asked, "Have you found any suspicious individuals in the other data exported from the airport management system from before then?"


    The ck man shook his head again and said, "We have carefully studied those data and analyzed every person who entered Nairobi Airport,pared them with the data in our system, and found no abnormal individuals. To bepletely sure, we have also dispatched arge number of personnel to investigate the movements of those who entered Nairobi in person and found no evidence that they were involved in the massacre that night."


    Disappointment flickered in Lynch''s eyes as he said, "You guys take that damaged hard disk back to the domestic area first and seek out experts to recover the data. Also, investigate exactly how many flights arrived at Nairobi Airport during those two hours."


    Another Caucasian man stood up and said, "We have already investigated the airnending situation within those two hours and found that only four airnesnded at Nairobi Airport during that time frame. One from Paris, one from Cairo, one from China, and one from Los Angeles. We have obtained the security check information and cabin recordings of the flights from Paris, Cairo, and Los Angeles at their airports of departure and found no suspicious individuals. Now, we onlyck information on the flight from Shanghai. If the enemy indeed entered Nairobi by ne, then the suspect should be on that flight from China."


    Lynch said, "Kenya is a coastal country with many channels to enter, including by sea andnd routes, apart from airnes. However, we are unable to check every one of them, so we can only search through the most likely way to find the suspects, via flights, as this channel would leave the suspects with nowhere to hide. You must immediately seek assistance from the Chinese government, tell them we suspect there are terrorists on that flight and need their relevant data." n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The Caucasian man said, "I have already requested the Chinese side to provide the passenger information for that flight. But they told me their system malfunctioned that day, and by coincidence, all information regarding that flight was lost, and they can''t provide us with the passenger list. They even said the ticketing information for the passengers on that flight is gone, and they themselves have no idea who was on it."


    Lynch mmed the table in anger and said, "Those are just excuses from China, the Chinese man is surely sent by them, of course they would not want to share the information with us."


    The Caucasian man sat down helplessly, and another elderly intelligence agent with graying hair stood up and said, "I have been investigating hotels in the city and suburbs, hoping to find suspicious individuals through their amodation records. All Chinese people who appeared in these areas were investigated by us. A Chinese man staying at the Nairobi Grand Hotel caught my attention because he checked into the hotel on the day of the incident and spent a long time in his room without anyone knowing what he was doing inside."


    Lynch perked up and quickly asked, "Did you find any useful information?"


    The agent with graying hair shook his head and said, "After discovering that the suspicious Chinese man had stayed at the Nairobi Grand Hotel, I immediately conducted a special investigation. When I asked the hotel again about this Chinese individual, they told me no Chinese person had stayed at their hotel. Then I started asking the hotel staff, but a strange thing happened, everyone I had spoken to the first time seemed to collectively have amnesia the second time around,pletely unable to remember the Chinese man, and even the surveince videos and amodation records of those few days were gone, with no one able to recall what the Chinese man looked like."


    This intelligence bewildered everyone, making it feel like they had encountered some profound mysterious event. By this time, the trio of CIA agents who went to Aywei Vige also stood up to report, their ounts were simr to those of the white-haired agent. No matter what, they could not find any information about the Chinese individual, and the intelligence they obtained before and after was contradictory, leaving no one to understand what exactly was happening.


    This situation was incredibly troubling for Lynch, who was in charge of the intelligence analysis, and he felt helpless. The CIA''s intelligence system was extremely powerful, perhaps the best in the world. Usually, finding someone would take only minutes. Yet, in Africa, they encountered this baffling event, as if someone was secretly sabotaging their operation, resulting in contradictory intelligence that left them blind and unable to pinpoint the suspect.


    Had Yan Fei known about everything happening in this room at this moment, he would certainly be astonished, because the trip to Africa that he thought was foolproof had left so many loopholes. But upon knowing the situation, he would be even more surprised, for it seemed as if a Mysterious Power in the darkness was protecting him, erasing all traces he left in Africa, causing even the most capable intelligence system of the US CIA to fail in pinpointing his whereabouts...

 Chapter 98 Chapter 74 Chasing the Killer in Japan

    98 Chapter 74 Chasing the Killer in Japan


    Yan Fei had no idea what was happening in the distantnd of Africa; he was engrossed in healing his wounds.


    Ignoring the verbal sparring, Yan Fei silently prepared for his next move. Having narrowly escaped a major setback, he was not about to let the matter rest. The Oogawa Family had overreached, and he intended to make them pay a price.


    To know his enemy, Yan Fei started having the Auxiliary Brain gather intelligence on the Oogawa Family from the Inte. As more data was collected, Yan Fei''s understanding of the Oogawa Family grew, and he was quietly shocked at their scope and reach. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The Oogawa Family was an ancient Japanese lineage. Though not as visibly prominent as the newer families that had emerged in recent years, they possessed deep historical roots. The Oogawa Family spanned the realms of politics, military, finance, and education in Japan¡ªthey were a true top-tier family. Preferring not to unt their status, they kept a low profile, often extending their control over Japanese enterprises through financial maneuvers and building theirmercial empire. Their discretion meant that the Oogawa Family was less famous than those frequently in the public eye, yet they wielded astounding resources and influence in Japan, as evidenced by their ability tomandeer a Maritime Self-Defense Force submarine to transport their operatives.


    However, as Japan''s overall economy weakened, the Oogawa Family showed signs of decline, which is why the younger generation out on international experience sought to steal technologies from various nations to restore the Oogawa Family''s prestige. This is also why, when they recognized the immense potential in Yan Fei''s Weight Loss Cookies, they immediately sent subordinates to abduct him.


    In this abduction attempt, the Oogawa Family not only dispatched their top expert, but also mobilized the Red Dragon Submarine of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force for transportation. In the end, for the sake of security, they even employed airborneser weapons still in the experimental stage. All these measures made Yan Fei acutely aware of the Oogawa Family''s formidable influence and control within Japan.


    Despite the Oogawa Family''s great strength, Yan Fei didn''t take them to heart, knowing he wouldn''t be foolish enough to confront such a behemoth head-on. He had his own distinct advantages. And so, while quietly recuperating and gathering intelligence, Yan Fei awaited the full recovery of his Spiritual Soul. Once healed, he would set out for Japan to execute his revenge n against the Oogawa Family.


    Twenty dayster, Yan Fei''s Spiritual Soul finally regained normalcy, the persistent sensation of weakness from being torn apart dissipated entirely. This ordeal with the Drone Avatar causing Yan Fei''s Divine Soul Tearing made him aware of many things he had previously overlooked, leading to a deeper understanding and appreciation of his own power. While his absolute power had not increased further, his strength had significantly enhanced, no longerparable to his former self.


    Another ten days passed, and Yan Fei tuned his body to its optimal condition, his strength at its peak, ready for action. He informed Lu Pingping that he was contemting some issues and needed to rest at home for a while; during this time, he didn''t want contact with anyone to avoid interrupting his thoughts, and told her she could handle Company matters on her own.


    Having arranged his work affairs, Yan Fei made some setups in his home to prevent intrusions. Then, on a dark and windy night, he altered his appearance, disguised himself, and quietly boarded a roll-on/roll-off ship bound for Tokyo from Shanghai Port, hiding in the lower deck as the ship set off for Japan.


    Beneath the roll-on/roll-off ship, a Drone clung to the bottom, maintaining the same speed towards Japan, matching the vessel. Yan Fei''s primary objective in going to Japan was to take vengeance on the Oogawa Family by ying the masterminds Ryoko Oogawa and Jo Oogawa; hence, he did not dare enter Japan through conventional means such as nes or ferries, opting instead to smuggle himself in.


    As Yan Fei hid aboard the roll-on/roll-off ship, he utilized his terrifying auditory skills to avoid the crew members. When hungry, he consumed food prepared in Universal Space; when tired, he slept; when bored, he read books. The four-day journey passed quickly, and the ship arrived at the Port of Tokyo, Japan''srgest port. Yan Fei stayed inside the ship without taking action, waiting until nightfall before leaving the vessel, jumping into the sea, and swimming to a secluded area of the Port of Tokyo to officially smuggle himself into Japan.


    Once in Japan, Yan Fei changed into clean clothes prepared in Universal Space, and walked out of the port. He transformed his appearance once more, applying makeup to look like an ordinary middle-aged man. Looking in the mirror, seeing no ws, he hailed a taxi at the roadside and headed to the Tokyo Suburbs.


    Beforeing to Japan, Yan Fei had used the Auxiliary Brain to rent an apartment in Tokyo Suburbs through an international housing service website, providing forged photos and information. The agency had secured him a room for a one-month lease in the Tokyo Suburbs, which would serve as his base of operations during his stay in Japan.


    Yan Fei arrived at the house he had rented via taxi. It was located in the Arakawa District in the northeastern suburbs of Tokyo. The building had two floors, with ten rooms on each, all connected. He had rented one of the rooms¡ªa small studio less than thirty square meters but fully equipped for immediate upancy.


    His Knowledge Infusion-acquired Japanesenguage skills were put to use. Without exaggeration, he was now the most proficient Japanese speaker in the world, even capable of speaking the different dialects from all regions of Japan, conducting conversations without any ws. After presenting his forged documents, he easily received the keys to the house from the Administrator and moved in sessfully.


    The rooms to the left and right of Yan Fei''s apartment were also rented out, but the identities of the tenants were unknown. However, Yan Fei was not concerned with his neighbors; he was merely a passerby who neither wanted to be noticed nor to take notice of others'' lives.


    Yan Fei settled into the rental room and first surveyed his surroundings. Seeing nothing unusual, he immediately activated the Drone Avatar lying in wait at the bottom of Tokyo Bay. Using the quantum radar of the Drone Avatar, he located a free WIFI near the port. After connecting to the free WIFI, he began to enter Japan''s intework and collect data.


    His main purpose ining to Japan was to take down Ryoko Oogawa and Jo Oogawa. These two had used the spies of the Igawa Family to steal the manufacturing process of his weight loss cookies. Although it hadn''t caused any substantial harm to him, they had sessfully angered Yan Fei.


    What''s more, when these two found that the stolen manufacturing process was incorrect, they even thought of kidnapping Lu Pingping and Yan Fei, touching Yan Fei''s reverse scale. Later, due to their actions, the situation escted, resulting in theplete destruction of the drone for the first time, which injured Yan Fei''s Divine Soul, almost leading to his capture by Hideo Oogawa.


    All this had infuriated Yan Fei, so these two Japanese were bound to die this time. Had it not been for Yan Fei''s injured Spiritual Soul preventing him from taking action earlier, he would have already killed them in China rather than letting them escape back to Japan scot-free.


    In China, Ryoko Oogawa and Jo Oogawa were somewhat low-key, not many people were aware of their existence. But in Japan, they were quite well-known, as they were the direct descendants of the Oogawa Family. The entertainment paparazzi were still very interested in them. As soon as Yan Fei logged onto the inte, he found news about Jo Oogawa¡ªa gossip report that imed Jo Oogawa had been frequenting nightclubs with young idol beauties, and he had even been caught on camera by the paparazzi carelessly.


    With this report, Yan Fei immediately traced Jo Oogawa''s whereabouts, saving him the trouble of running around aimlessly to find the man. That evening, he made his way to the reported nightclub in downtown Tokyo, as marked on the map. Indeed, he discovered several young and beautiful idol girls here, but Jo Oogawa was nowhere to be seen.


    However, Yan Fei was not discouraged. He came back the next day to continue his stakeout, but still with no luck. On the third night, though, he finally spotted Jo Oogawa appearing at the nightclub, apanied by a young and beautiful high-qualitydy.


    Yan Fei hadpletely altered his appearance to look like an ordinary middle-aged man, so Jo Oogawa didn''t notice his presence at all. Even though Yan Fei had seen Jo Oogawa, he didn''t make a move right away. Instead, he sipped his drink while keeping an eye on Jo Oogawa''s movements.


    Maybe it was his failure in China that had affected him, Jo Oogawa no longer had his erstwhile calm demeanor and appeared somewhat reckless and dissipated, giving off an air of a man who had nothing to lose. He was flirting with the beauty by his side and consuming alcohol and cigarettes non-stop, spewing filthynguage¡ªa clear sign that his experience in China had led him to seek thrills in the nightclub.


    It wasn''t until one o''clock in the morning that a drunken Jo Oogawa stood up to leave, taking the girl with him from the nightclub.


    Yan Fei followed them out and saw Jo Oogawa take a phone call outside the nightclub. After yelling a few loud words, he angrily hung up and separated from the young beautiful woman, who gave him a dissatisfied look. Then he took a taxi alone and left.


    Yan Fei also hailed a taxi, instructing the driver to closely follow the one Jo Oogawa had taken. The driver initially wanted to refuse, but upon seeing the stack ofrge bills Yan Fei handed over, he promptly stopped fussing and drove off closely behind, without Yan Fei having to push him.


    The taxi carrying Jo Oogawa drove leisurely eastward for over an hour. Yan Fei checked the map and discovered they had left downtown Tokyo. The taxi continued to a small residential area nearby, where Jo Oogawa''s taxi finally stopped. Jo Oogawa got out, walked around a bend, and in a ce where no one else was around, he urinated by a roadside tree.


    Yan Fei''s taxi also stopped at a distance. He paid the fare, got out of the taxi, and followed Jo Oogawa. He intended to strike and kill Jo Oogawa right away, but unfamiliar with Japan and despite having the Auxiliary Brain''s help, it was difficult to find where the Oogawa Family''s Lair was located. So, after a moment''s hesitation, he didn''t initiate the attack but instead followed Jo Oogawa, hoping to first find the address of the Oogawa Family.


    Jo Oogawa arrived at a luxurious bungalow in the front, knocked, and waited. Then the door opened, and he entered.


    Yan Fei took a quick look around, noticing no surveince cameras. He approached the bungalow swiftly, peeking through the window. Inside he saw arge room that seemed to be a research center of sorts, filled with machines whose functions were not immediately apparent. There were young men and women busily working, and standing next to them was a woman Yan Fei was all too familiar with¡ªRyoko Oogawa, one of the targets of his mission.

    99 Chapter 75 High Technology Analysis


    Yan Fei had a natural allergy to alcohol, so while it looked like he was drinking booze at the nightclub, he had actually swapped it out early on with juice from the Universal Space; otherwise, a man not drinking or picking up girls at a nightclub would indeed be quite odd. Moreover, this was Japan, someone else''s turf. Yan Fei felt a sense of insecurity here and had to stay alert.


    So when Jo Oogawa was stumbling drunk, Yan Fei waspletely sober. The moment he saw Ryoko Oogawa here, he was overjoyed, making his three consecutive nights of stakeouts worthwhile. He had been wondering how to find these two culprits, and now, as they appeared before his eyes, Yan Fei was determined to kill them. Therefore, if he made his move, their deaths tonight were certain.


    However, Yan Fei didn''t immediately enter the room to kill Ryoko Oogawa and Jo Oogawa. He wanted to gather more intelligence, as the Oogawa Family was also his target and would surely be his long-term adversary; hence, he wanted to collect more information about his opponent. After all, the Auxiliary Brain could only collect information that was publicly avable on the Inte and couldn''t ess highly confidential intelligence. To understand the Oogawa Family, it was more reliable to hear about them from their own people.


    In the room, Ryoko Oogawa frowned when she saw Jo Oogawa stagger in and said, "Jo Oogawa, you''re such a disappointment. A grown man like you can''t even handle this much adversity, drowning yourself in drink?"


    Jo Oogawa found himself a sofa, sat down with a drunken slur, and said, "I messed up our business in China, and the old men in the family are very unhappy with me. They''ve already decided to write me off. You could say my future is ruined. If I don''t drink, what else can I do?"


    Ryoko Oogawa threw a bottle of water to Jo Oogawa and said, "Have some water and sober up. The responsibility for the incident in China is greater on me than on you, and the punishment I''ve received is harsher. Have you ever seen me as defeated as you are now?"


    Jo Oogawa opened the cap, took a sip of water, and sobered up a bit before saying, "You and I are different. You''ll eventually marry into the Yamamoto Family and be the Yamamoto Family''s daughter-inw. Our Oogawa Family won''t be able to control you then. With your abilities, you can certainly make aeback in the Yamamoto Family. But I, alive or dead, belong to the Oogawa Family. My life is truly finished now."


    Ryoko Oogawa scolded, "Jo Oogawa, the way you''re acting now doesn''t resemble an Oogawa man at all. There''s an old saying in China, ''you rise where you fall.'' We''ve taken a hit in China, so we must find a way to atone for our actions. If we can make up for the family''s losses, there''s still a bright future ahead."


    Jo Oogawa sighed and said, "Our loss in China was severe. The expert Kazuteru Oogawa and his team are missing, and I bet they''ve been killed at sea by now. Even Japan''s Red Dragon Submarine was captured by China because of this incident. Most crucially, we still haven''t been able to bring Yan Fei and Lu Pingping back to Japan. With such a great loss, how do you suppose we can atone? How can we recover the family''s losses? How can we get the family to give us another chance?"


    A mysterious smile appeared on Ryoko Oogawa''s face as she said, "Don''t be so pessimistic. Maybe I really do have a way to atone! Otherwise, why would I have called you here?"


    It turned out that Ryoko Oogawa was the one who had spoken with Jo Oogawa at the nightclub earlier. Jo Oogawa had been very angry then, but now, hearing Ryoko Oogawa''s words, his eyes lit up, and he said eagerly, "Ryoko, do you really have a solution? Tell me quickly."


    Ryoko Oogawa said, "After my setback, I''ve been analyzing why we failed. I won''t mention the unavoidable factors, but I''ve mainly been contemting who filmed our conversation that night and uploaded the video to the Inte. Without that video, even with the family''s devastating loss, we would still have a chance to turn things around. It''s precisely because of that video that we ended up in total defeat, as the family thinks those losses were caused by ourpromise of secrets. So, I''ve been investigating who took that video."


    Hope reappeared in Jo Oogawa''s eyes, sobering him up considerably as he asked hurriedly, "Do you have a lead now?"


    Ryoko Oogawa nodded and said, "Indeed, I''ve made a significant discovery. I gathered these people here specifically to focus on studying this video. We first analyzed the shooting angle of the video, and it was clear it was filmed from outside the wall of my Office. I''m certain that there''s no Surveince Camera installed at that angle in my Office, and there are no cameras nearby that could have captured the inside of my Office. This means that the video wasn''t filmed by our own cameras. Now, one thing is certain: someone outside my window used equipment to secretly film our conversation that night."


    Seeing the hope-filled eyes of Jo Oogawa, Ryoko Oogawa continued exining, "So I reviewed all the Cameras in the factory area, and indeed, in the footage from a camera in a remote location, I found a clue." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Ryoko Oogawa snapped her fingers, and a Worker operated theputer. A video appeared on therge liquid-crystal Television in the room, and then the video began ying. The video content was from the Wangde Food Factory, and it was surveince footage from the night of the incident.

 Chapter 100 Chapter 75 High Technology Analysis_2

    100 Chapter 75 High Technology Analysis_2


    Ryoko Oogawa stared at the static video and suddenly shouted, "Stop," pointing to a location on the television, "Look here."


    Jo Oogawa hesitated, "Are you referring to this blurry shadow? It looks like a cat from its shape."


    Ryoko Oogawa hit the y button and saw a shadow sh across the screen and then disappear. She said, "Considering the timing, I am certain that this shadow is not a cat¡ªit must be the person who secretly filmed us that night. He is incredibly cunning, not only perfectly avoiding all the surveince cameras but also very agile. Even though this camera caught him, there are no clearer images."


    Jo Oogawa was somewhat disappointed, while Ryoko Oogawa said, "Although we didn''t capture clearer images, it is no big deal in the face of thetest high technology, because we possess the world''s most cutting-edge imagepletion technology."


    The technician operated theputer for a while, and the fleeting shadow was extracted from the footage. Then, using thetest high-tech image software for restoration, the image of the shadow slowly became clear. In the end, the figure of the shadow was clearly disyed on the big screen.


    Jo Oogawa was again disappointed and said, "This person is very cunning, spraying reflective material on his face, making the whole face a white light, we didn''t capture anything at all!"


    Ryoko Oogawa said, "Don''t rush, keep watching!"


    The technician continued to work, and the white light on the shadow''s face gradually faded and then disappeared. In the end, the face of the shadow clearly appeared on the LCD television.


    Ryoko Oogawa proudly said, "How about that, you recognize this person, right?"


    Jo Oogawa was shocked, "This is Yan Fei, the boss of Dream Foods, he is the one who secretly filmed us, but how is this possible¡­"


    Ryoko Oogawa said, "I couldn''t believe it either when I first saw this footage. Yan Fei may seem to have decent skills, but hees off as a homebody, harmless to humans and animals, and one would subconsciously underestimate and overlook him. It''s unexpected that he has such capabilities, even personally undertaking the secret filming of our conversation. This also exins why the video was widely spread online and led to our utter defeat. Therefore, our mistake lies in focusing our attention on Lu Pingping and overlooking Yan Fei, which was the fundamental reason for our failure."


    Yan Fei, who was secretly peeping outside the window, was also shocked to see his own clear photo appear on the LCD television. He hadn''t expected his supposedly reliable anti-photography techniques to be full of holes in front of others, and he was secretly amazed at the power of high technology¡ª such a darkened image could be restored, revealing his true appearance, which seemed nearly inconceivable.


    Ryoko Oogawa added, "I dispatched a hacker to invade China''sputer system and found that the day before we discussed the kidnapping, Yan Fei had arrived in Hang City. That evening, he went out alone and took a taxi. We obtained the taxi''s operating data and discovered that Yan Fei got off near our factory. So, by timing, he was probably eavesdropping on our conversation on the first evening."


    Jo Oogawa appeared to realize something and said, "If that''s the case, then our discussion from the previous day would also have been overheard by him, but why doesn''t the video include the content from that day?"


    Ryoko Oogawa reasoned, "Perhaps he didn''t carry filming equipment on the first day, so the content of that day wasn''t captured. Otherwise, knowing how much he hates us for stealing his manufacturing process, he would definitely have made the content from that day public as well."


    Jo Oogawa said, "So you''re saying, he already knew about our ns of kidnapping Lu Pingping and their secret maneuvers that day, even the time and ce when Kazuteru Oogawaa and the others set off?" n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Ryoko Oogawa confirmed, "Exactly, Yan Fei knew everything in advance, but he didn''t make any visible preparations on the surface, leading us into a false sense of security, into a trap. The reason our operation failed is very likely because Yan Fei leaked the information. Otherwise, it''spletely inexplicable how such a major loss could ur."


    Jo Oogawa slumped on the couch, despondently, "I never imagined our ns would be ruined by someone we didn''t even take seriously."


    Ryoko Oogawa continued, "I too found it unbelievable at first, so Iter investigated Yan Fei further and discovered he wasn''t the small fry we imagined him to be¡ªwe''ve all been deceived by him."


    Curious, Jo Oogawa asked, "What else has Yan Fei done?"


    Ryoko Oogawa revealed, "Through the Igawa Family, we obtained a lot of data concerning Yan Fei and found an interesting phenomenon. Yan Fei had very ordinary academic performance before the national college entrance exam in China, but during the exam, he performed extraordinarily well, scoring high enough to be admitted into the Genius ss at Zhendan University in Shanghai. But by his senior year in university, the so-called Genius ss was disbanded. He was then transferred to other sses to continue his studies and sessfully graduated from Zhendan University. During his entire university period, he didn''t show any notable excellence and rankedst in that Genius ss."


    Seeing that Jo Oogawa was interested, Ryoko Oogawa continued, "After graduating, Yan Fei began renting out his family''s building, collecting arge amount of rent every month, so he didn''t work outside and stayed at home all day, his only hobbies being surfing the inte and exercising. This continued for three years. Half a year ago, when his building was scheduled for demolition and he was about to receive a substantial financialpensation, Zhang Baocheng of the Shanghai underworld set his sights on his property, attempting to buy it at a low price. But soon after, Zhang Baocheng''s vi was invaded, and a distinguished guest went missing. While Zhang Baocheng was gathering evidence to find the guest, his vi was burned down, and then the experts who came to investigate the missing guest were killed. Following this, Zhang Baocheng sought help from the Shanghai underworld boss Hou Bao, which led to the massacre where both Hou Bao and Zhang Baocheng were killed."


    Confused, Jo Oogawa said, "The cases you mentioned, are they somehow rted to Yan Fei?"


    Ryoko Oogawa exined, "At first nce, these events seempletely unrted to Yan Fei, but during our staff''s data collection and review of Yan Fei, we discovered a huge secret. That is, at the murder scenes of Zhang Baocheng and Hou Bao, a civil drone appeared several times, capable of firing steel ball bullets. It was because of this drone that many of Zhang Baocheng and Hou Bao''s men were severely injured, eventually leading to the murders of Zhang Baocheng and Hou Bao."


    Jo Oogawa''s spirits lifted, "Could this drone be rted to Yan Fei?"

 Chapter 101 Chapter 76: Silence the Witness by Murder

    101 Chapter 76: Silence the Witness by Murder


    Ryoko Oogawa didn''t answer Jo Oogawa''s question, but rather spoke on her own ord, "We investigated Yan Fei''s online shopping records and found that he purchased a drone on the inte, yet no one has ever seen him use it. Shortly after he bought the drone, there were several incidents within a one-kilometer radius of Yan Fei''s home, where drones used pea bullets to injure people. Later, we collected footage from surveince cameras near Yan Fei''s home through Igawa''s household, which captured the drone involved in these incidents."


    With a snap of her fingers, a technician began to operate the equipment, and images of the drone that Yan Fei purchased online appeared on the LCD television. There also appeared a blurred image of the drone that shot peas, captured by some unknown surveince camera. Through the technician''s operation, the image of the blurred drone became increasingly clear until, finally, a clear image of the drone appeared on the screen. Both drones were ced side by side for a clear directparison.


    After taking a close look, Jo Oogawa said, "These two drones don''t have any connection, do they? Moreover, they lookpletely different." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Ryoko Oogawa said, "I''ll talk about thatter. Let''s discuss the drone that could shoot steel balls. Although we do not have surveince footage from Hou Bao''s home, we found images of this drone in a surveince video from around a one-kilometer radius around the same time."


    A blurry image of a drone appeared on the screen again, but this drone was muchrger. After processing by image restoration software, this drone also revealed its true features and was ced alongside the previous two drones.


    Ryoko Oogawa continued, "Then we found a trace of a drone on a surveince video near Yan Fei''s home, which was very hard to locate, taking us a lot of effort to find."


    Once again, a blurry image of a drone appeared on the screen. After the image restoration software finished its work, Jo Oogawa found that this drone was identical to the one that had appeared at Hou Bao''s ce.


    Jo Oogawa finally understood Ryoko Oogawa''s point and said, "So you think that the murder case of Zhang Baocheng and Hou Bao that night was done by Yan Fei controlling drones, and he''s the one who injured those people?"


    Ryoko Oogawa said, "Exactly, that is my conclusion. We have always overlooked Yan Fei, never expecting him to be so deeply hidden. He presents himself as extremely ordinary, never seeking the limelight, making people deliberately underestimate him. But at the critical moment, he can exhibit immense strength to protect his own interests from harm. It was because Zhang Baocheng and Hou Bao underestimated Yan Fei that they were all killed by him."


    Jo Oogawa said, "Even so, it doesn''t really benefit us, does it? Do you expect us to hand over this evidence to the China Police for them to arrest Yan Fei?"


    Ryoko Oogawa said somewhat frustratedly, "Haven''t you noticed there''s a huge problem here?"


    Jo Oogawa asked in confusion, "What problem?"


    Ryoko Oogawa said, "The technical content on the drones."


    Jo Oogawa was suddenly enlightened by Ryoko Oogawa and eximed, "Right! How could I not have thought about that? Yan Fei definitely has some technology to modify drones. He first purchased a regr drone from the inte, and then based on this regr drone, he modified it into one that could shoot peas. Judging by the timeline from when he bought the regr drone and how it never appeared again, we can deduce that the pea-shooting drone was modified from it. ording to the data, the modified drone not only could fire pea bullets but also had extremely long range and urate control ability."


    Having reached this conclusion, Jo Oogawa nced at Ryoko Oogawa and seeing no objection, he spoke with increased confidence, "After the pea-shooting drone appeared, soon a third drone emerged. This drone was evenrger and capable of shooting steel balls, truly possessing lethal power. Since the appearance of the steel ball drone, the pea-shooting drone was never seen again, so it''s certain that the steel ball drone was another upgrade from the pea drone. The performance of the steel ball drone shows that it can fly further, faster, and can be controlled from a longer distance than simr drones, and it''s also equipped with a weapon that can shoot steel balls, so the steel ball drone possesses stronger technology."


    Ryoko Oogawa finally nodded in satisfaction and said, "So I specte that this Yan Fei is not as ordinary as he appears on the surface. I believe he has the technology to modify drones and give them strongbat power. I preliminarily judge that Yan Fei at least controls a technology that can produce high-energy batteries, motor technology, as well as advanced long-range remote control andmunication technologies. His admission to the Genius ss of Zhendan University was not luck but a reflection of his true strength. He just kept a very low profile and didn''t let people notice him. All these years he''s been staying at home, possibly not just surfing the inte and exercising, but researching thetest technology. In other words, our previous reasoning was all wrong¡ªthe weight loss cookies technology didn''te from Lu Pingping, but from Yan Fei. It turns out, we''ve all been deceived by this Yan Fei."

 Chapter 102 Chapter 76: Silence a Person by Killing_2

    102 Chapter 76: Silence a Person by Killing_2


    Oogawa burst with joy rather than anger. He excitedly said, "In that case, so long as we capture Yan Fei, we''ll be able to acquire these high technologies from him?"


    Ryoko Oogawa smiled, "Exactly. This is the greatest insight I''vee to during this time of reflection. Yan Fei is key to our redemption. If we capture her, we won''t just obtain these advanced technologies, but also the form for the weight loss cookies. Furthermore, we could avenge the capture of the Red Dragon Submarine and the disappearance of Kazuteru''s squad, winning our family''s newfound respect. Not only could we recoup the family''s losses, but we could also reim everything we''ve lost."


    Oogawa asked, "If you''re able to gather this intelligence, the family could too. Why haven''t they acted on their own? Why give us this opportunity instead?"


    Ryoko Oogawaughed, "Do you think I''m stupid? When I was collecting this intelligence, I already destroyed the original copies. In other words, thest backup of this data exists solely in the server inside this room. Aside from us, no one else in the world can find this intelligence."


    Yan Fei, eavesdropping outside the window, felt somewhat helpless. In this era of high information technology, science and technology were constantly advancing by leaps and bounds. No matter how careful and thorough he was in his actions, he would always leave ws in unexpected ces. It was impossible for him to bepletely untraceable, leading to people discovering some clues afterward, casting suspicion upon him. But fortunately, he had time to correct these errors.


    Although Ryoko Oogawa was meticulous in thought, she was unaware of the Predator Drone''s appearance at sea that night and its role in killing Kazuteru Oogawa. Otherwise, she might have deduced Yan Fei''s connection to the Predator Drone. Such astonishing intelligence, if leaked, not to mention South Korea, would make the US Army, dominant in military strength, recall their tragic loss in Africa, allowing the US Government to immediately target Yan Fei. Once the US Army had him in their sights, no one in the world could save him unless he defected to the country and stayed domestically for life.


    However, thankfully, Yan Fei discovered Ryoko Oogawa''s secret just as she began to make some research breakthroughs about him. Otherwise, if she had continued her research, she would have definitely uncovered the secret of Yan Fei''s drones. Once exposed, even the incidents within China might be traced back to him, and at that point, if Yan Fei did not defect to the country, he would truly have no choice but to wander the earth.


    Inside the room, Ryoko Oogawa and Oogawa, having focused their suspicions on Yan Fei, started to coborate on how to use the information they held to negotiate with their family, intent on regaining their lost power and securing even greater benefits.


    As the two discussed their exciting ns, they heard a crisp sound from the room''s ss. The entire window shattered, ss fragments flying everywhere, and a muscr, masked man burst into the room. This masked man was Yan Fei. Although he had altered his appearance, he still wore a piece of cloth over his face just to be safe. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    A woman standing behind Ryoko Oogawa suddenly raised her hand, brandishing a pistol. She aimed the pistol at Yan Fei who sneered coldly and advanced towards the woman. The woman pulled the trigger, shooting at Yan Fei, and just as she fired, Yan Fei moved, and in a blink, he was still standing where he had been, but the bullet struck the wall behind him.


    Yan Fei had greatly enhanced his spiritual power after a recent severe injury to his Spiritual Soul, enabling him to sense danger and anticipate the direction of bullet attacks in advance. Upon noticing the woman''s shooting stance, he had dodged the bullet with lightning speed.


    The woman, shocked, was about to shoot again when Yan Fei closed in rapidly, mming his body into her, sending her flying against the wall. She screamed as she hit the wall, her bones fractured and body limp on the floor, her condition unknown.


    Yan Fei''s sudden appearance and the demonstration of his formidable strength had taken out Ryoko Oogawa''s bodyguard and left both Ryoko Oogawa and Oogawa terrified out of their wits. They did not know that this masked man was Yan Fei, but the sight of his ruthless killing filled them with fear.


    Suddenly, Oogawa let out a shriek, attempting to flee through the door. Yan Fei moved swiftly, catching up with Oogawa, and pressed his hand on the back of Oogawa''s head, smashing it violently into the wall. There was a "pop" sound, and Oogawa''s head split open like a watermelon, his brains and blood sttering everywhere, dead beyond doubt, turning instantly into a confused ghost.


    Yan Fei turned to see the technicians in the room trying to scatter. His feet moved in quick session, and he pursued the technicians, dispatching them all mercilessly. Since these technicians held evidence of Yan Fei''s existence, posing a risk of exposure, he had no choice but to silence them once and for all. Moreover, as they were Japanese, Yan Fei carried no psychological burden in killing them.


    Ryoko Oogawa, seeing things go south, quickly hid behind arge door. Yan Fei approached and with a punch, the door burst apart to reveal an elevator with Ryoko Oogawa already descending underground. He was about to pursue when he spotted the room''s servers and storage devices. Slowing down, he began to gather the servers and storage devices into the Universal Space. Once all items in the room were collected, he reopened Universal Space and brought out tworge cans of gasoline. He doused the entire room with gasoline and set it on fire. With a "boom," mes engulfed the room.


    With the unique data in the world destroyed, Yan Fei''s risk of exposure waspletely extinguished.


    Yan Fei stepped out of the room and stood at the doorway of the now fiercely burning room, watching coldly. Suddenly, a roar came from underground, and a luxury sports car burst from the underground garage and sped towards the highway. Yan Fei, with sharp eyes, could not see the face of the person in the driver''s seat, but the slim figure was dressed in Ryoko Oogawa''s clothes, still stained with Oogawa''s brains, no doubt it was Ryoko Oogawa who had just gone down to the garage.


    As gasoline flowed freely, the whole house erupted in mes, including the underground garage which became enveloped, leaving no ce to hide. With a thought, a brand new motorcycle emerged from the Universal Space in front of Yan Fei. He mounted the motorcycle and chased after the fleeing sports car.

 Chapter 103 Chapter 77: Fierce Chase

    103 Chapter 77: Fierce Chase

    The luxury sports car was extremely fast, but for this trip to Japan, Yan Fei had specially purchased a superbly performance-enhanced motorcycle, and coupled with his terrifying driving skills, he was able to match the speed of the sports car without much difficulty.


    The motorcycle quickly closed in on the sports car, and in just a few minutes, Yan Fei had caught up. Standing on his motorcycle, he gave a powerful leap andnded on the roof of the sports car.


    The driver of the sports car was shocked and immediately elerated, swaying left and right in an attempt to shake off Yan Fei from the roof. However, Yan Fei clung firmly on top, his one hand gripping the roof while the other smashed forcefully into the front windshield, shattering it and creating arge hole. His hand then reached inside, grabbed Ryoko Oogawa, who was driving, and yanked her out of the car.


    Yan Fei grasped Ryoko Oogawa and, with a bounce, leaped from the roof of the sports car to the ground. He then rolled several times to dissipate the tremendous inertia before slowly standing up. The driverless sports car immediately crashed into the roadside barrier, making a huge noise. The car was deformed upon impact, and then its fuel tank burst, resulting in a fierce explosion.


    Yan Fei looked at Ryoko Oogawa, whom he held in his hands, only to realize that this person was not Ryoko Oogawa. He had seen the driver of the sports car wearing Ryoko''s clothes and bearing a simr figure, which led him to believe it was her. But it turned out to be a decoy that Ryoko had found to lure Yan Fei away from the house.


    This woman, held up by Yan Fei and dressed in Ryoko Oogawa''s clothes, showed a terrified expression upon being caught. Only then did Yan Fei understand that he had fallen for Ryoko Oogawa''s sleight of hand trick. Without interrogating the impostor, he tightened his grip, snapping her neck, and then threw her corpse to the ground. Yan Fei looked over the burning sports car and confirmed there was no one else inside.


    Yan Fei returned to his motorcycle, lifting the bike that had fallen onto the ground, and quickly headed back. A few minutester, Yan Fei arrived back at the previous house, only to see the mes growingrger and shooting up into the sky. Aided by the air currents, the mes formed a fiery tornado visible hundreds of meters away. The ze not only engulfed the room but alsopletely blocked the underground garage, making it impossible for him to re-enter the building.


    Fortunately, Yan Fei had suspected that there was something wrong with the driver of the sports car earlier. Therefore, while chasing the car, he had scattered some fine sand at an intersection. After rushing back, he spotted two tire tracks in the sand leading from the garage to the main road outside, where a garbage bin had been knocked over.


    After deliberating for a moment, Yan Fei didn''t risk entering the underground garage but instead mounted his motorcycle and chased after the tire tracks in the opposite direction. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The high-performance motorcycle reached its top speed under Yan Fei''s control, even outpacing the sports car on the highway. Despite such high speeds, Yan Fei was still able to safely avoid cars and pedestrians, demonstrating his otherworldly motorcycle riding skills.


    After chasing for over ten minutes, Yan Fei spotted another luxury sports car ahead, racing away at high speed. As he drew closer, he saw a woman inside the cabin of the automobile.


    This time, Yan Fei was careful. He scrutinized the woman and, although she had changed her clothes, her face was clearly visible to him; it was indeed Ryoko Oogawa. Ryoko was originally fleeing for her life, but upon noticing the motorcycle and the masked man on top of it, she panicked, flooring the elerator and propelling the sports car forward rapidly.


    Unfortunately, this wasn''t a highway, and the sports car couldn''t achieve its maximum speed, which allowed Yan Fei to slowly close the distance. Yan Fei caught up to the sports car, and as he was about to jump onto the roof, a motorcycle from the oppositene suddenly veered towards him. Yan Fei lifted the front wheel, and his motorcycle soared through the air, narrowly avoiding the collision.


    The other motorcycle, having failed to hit Yan Fei, screeched to a halt and swung around, changing direction to chase after Yan Fei again. Realizing that this motorcycle must be reinforcements called by Ryoko Oogawa, Yan Fei knew he was in the heart of the Oogawa Family''s stronghold in Japan, and he waspletely unaware of their full strength. This mission had to be quick and decisive, or else unforeseenplications could arise.


    Therefore, Yan Fei sped up, pushing the motorcycle to its maximum speed, not only shaking off the motorcycle behind him but also rapidly catching up to the sports car in front. He reached out, grabbed the car door handle, and with a strong pull, ripped the door off. The damaged door activated the car''s safety measures, causing the vehicle to brake suddenly. The sports car skidded and nearly overturned. The car then took several sharp turns before finally stopping far away, its tires emitting white smoke¡­


    As Yan Fei was about to pursue with his motorcycle, a thunderous mechanical roar suddenly came from the sky. An armed helicopter bearing the insignia of the Japan Self-Defense Forces appeared, its nose pointed towards him as it began firing 20mm naval cannon rounds.


    Though Yan Fei''s strength had surged recently, he could not withstand the attack from a 20mm naval cannon. So, the moment he spotted the armed helicopter, he didn''t hesitate to leap off the bridge beside him, then surfaced and hid underneath the bridge''s pir.

    104 Chapter 77 Intense Chase_2


    The armed helicopter''s naval cannon attack missed its mark and failed to hit Yan Fei. Instead, it left a string of potholes on the highway. Seeing Yan Fei jump off the bridge, the armed helicopter quickly turned around and began attacking Yan Fei under the bridge. However, due to the angle, it couldn''t hit Yan Fei and only managed to send stone chips flying from the bridge piers.


    The motorcycle rider who had collided with Yan Fei quickly caught up, pulled out the injured Ryoko Oogawa from the sports car, bloodied with a broken head, ced her on the back seat, and sped away swiftly.


    The armed helicopter in the skyunched a fierce attack at Yan Fei''s hiding spot, making it impossible for Yan Fei to even consider surfacing. Yan Fei seemed to be in grave danger, but he was not in a hurry. For he had activated his Drone Avatar lurking in Tokyo Bay the moment he had entered that room.


    Once the drone was activated, it sped towards Yan Fei''s location. To avoid detection, the drone''s flight altitude was less than five meters. Yan Fei was determined to kill Ryoko Oogawa tonight, so he would use all his strength, being extra cautious, knowing that this was not his home court.


    As the armed helicopter was fiercely attacking Yan Fei, a gigantic beast suddenly rose from the river surface far away and charged towards the armed helicopter. It turned out that Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar had arrived at the critical moment.


    The armed helicopter in the sky also spotted the drone, but before they could react, they saw the drone fire an air-to-air missile at them. The armed helicopter was taken by surprise and quickly maneuvered to evade while releasing decoy res. However, with the Drone Quantum Radar''s lock-on, the armed helicopter''s evasive actions and decoy res were rendered useless. The air-to-air missile avoided the re''s interference and struck the armed helicopter directly. The armed helicopter exploded violently, sending a burst of mes into the sky, and its fiery wreckage plummeted to the ground, setting the surrounding grass alight.


    No sooner had the drone appeared than it disyed its might by taking down an armed helicopter from the Japan Self-Defense Force, eliminating the greatest threat to Yan Fei. With the armed helicopter no longer interfering, Yan Fei climbed back onto the bridge, found his motorcycle, and was ready to direct the drone to pursue the fleeing Ryoko Oogawa when he spotted two white mes approaching from afar, aimed straight at the Drone Avatar.


    The drone''s Quantum Radar quickly scanned the area and detected the two iing air-to-air missiles. The drone swiftly turned around, and its naval cannon began firing, sting the iing missiles out of the sky.


    Then, two fighter jets appeared in the distant sky, bearing the insignia of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, indicating they werebat aircraft from the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. From their shape, Yan Fei immediately recognized the two fighter jets as Japan''s main F-2 Fighters, produced with technology from the US F-16. These fighters were at the same technological level as the two US F-16s he had shot down in Africa.


    Yan Fei knew Ryoko Oogawa must have sent out a distress signal, but he hadn''t expected the Japan Air Self-Defense Force''s fighter jets to be the onesing to her rescue. For most people, the appearance of armed helicopters and F-2 Fighters would mean an immediate retreat, as killing the target under such protective measures would be harder than reaching heaven. However, Ryoko Oogawa knew too much about Yan Fei''s secrets, and if those secrets were leaked, it would spell doom for Yan Fei. Hence, Ryoko Oogawa had to die tonight, even with two F-2 Fighters above his head, Yan Fei was determined to kill her.


    Seeing their own missiles destroyed, the two F-2s shuddered, and eachunched another air-to-air missile at the drone. The Drone Avatar did not bother with the threat of these two missiles; rather, it closed the distance to the F-2s at top speed. When the missiles got close enough, the drone fired its naval cannon to destroy them. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    In that brief moment, the drone had drastically closed the distance with the two F-2 Fighters. The pilots of the F-2s were still reeling from their missiles being shot down by the drone and had yet to realize the danger when suddenly the drone shuddered and three balls of fire appeared. It turned out that upon getting close to the F-2s, the Drone Avatar had fired three air-to-air missiles at them simultaneously.


    The F-2s were still underestimating the power of the drone, viewing it with conventional thinking, which is why they were shocked when the drone''s naval cannon shot down their missiles, and they didn''t pay much attention when the drone drew closer. When they saw the drone fire three air-to-air missiles at once, they quickly recognized the danger and hurriedly performed evasive maneuvers while releasing decoy res, ording to tactical protocols. To their amazement, no matter how they dodged or deployed decoy res, the three air-to-air missiles doggedly pursued them.


    The distance between the two F-2s and the drone varied, and under the lock of the Quantum Radar, the closest F-2 Fighter was targeted, and its forward escape route was blocked by two missiles. With no escape, the F-2 pilot had no choice but to eject. Just as he ejected from the cockpit, his ne was struck by the two missiles and exploded in mid-air, creating a fiery blossom.


    The other F-2 was further from the drone, and after a few eleration maneuvers, it had reached a distance of ten kilometers, which was beyond the maximum attack range of the air-to-air missiles, causing the missile pursuing it to self-destruct.


    The pilot of that F-2, greatly rmed, noticed the missile behind him self-destructing and continued to fly away. Albeit he had reached a distance of ten kilometers from the drone, he didn''tpletely leave the area but instead hovered nearby, keeping an eye on the drone.


    If the drone chased after the F-2, the fighter would just keep its distance. The drone''s maximum speed was only 1000 kilometers/hour, nearly Mach 1, while the F-2 could reach speeds up to Mach 2.2. Even if the drone fired air-to-air missiles at the F-2, their attack speed was only Mach 2.2. But because the F-2 had already put distance between itself and the drone, the drone''s air-to-air missiles could not catch up with the F-2.


    Yan Fei had fired only four missiles in order to create the illusion that the drone was out of missiles¡ªthe same trick he had used before¡ªto lure thest F-2 into a trap. Unexpectedly, the F-2 was exceedingly cautious. Even after calcting that the drone might be out of missiles, it didn''t approach carelessly but kept its distance, interfering with the drone from afar.


    Therefore, for the moment, the drone couldn''t catch up to the F-2, yet the F-2 could, in turn, constrain the drone, preventing it from supporting Yan Fei inbat. The aerial battlefield fell into a stalemate.

 Chapter 105 Chapter 78: Jungle Sniper

    105 Chapter 78: Jungle Sniper


    Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar was pinned down by an F-2 Fighter, unable to provide direct support for him. Moreover, the region here was already mountainous, with towering trees and numerous obstacles, which also impeded the Drone Avatar from pursuing and killing Ryoko Oogawa. Thus, he simply let the drone engage thest F-2 in the area while he personally went in pursuit of Ryoko Oogawa. If a sudden change of events urred, he would call the drone for support.


    The motorcycle carrying Ryoko Oogawa sped ahead, with Yan Fei closely following behind. Then, the road ahead entered a mountainous highway. The mountain highway was very narrow with many sharp curves and steep slopes. The skill of the motorcycle''s pilot was not as adept as Yan Fei''s, nor were his reactions as quick, which caused his speed to drop. Yan Fei, overjoyed, pressed on the motorcycle, eagerly chasing after, rapidly closing the distance between them.


    Seeing this, the motorcycle''s pilot disregarded the danger and forcefully increased his speed. Just when Yan Fei was about to further narrow the distance, two ck sedans emerged on the road ahead, with several gun barrels protruding from the windows, opening fire on Yan Fei.


    Yan Fei pulled up the motorcycle''s front end, and it soared high into the air. While the motorbike was still aloft, Yan Fei flipped backward, leaping off the motorcycle. Mid-air, his hand produced several steel balls, and with a flick of his fingers, the balls shot out, hitting both car drivers squarely. The drivers'' heads were burst open by the steel balls, and the cars immediately lost control, crashing into the mountainside beside the road and exploding violently.


    It wasn''t until this moment that Yan Fei gracefullynded on the ground. The motorcycle, however, fell off a cliff below, rendering it unusable. He moved a few steps closer to the burning cars and saw several people struggling painfully in the ze. He flicked a few more steel balls, putting a swift end to their suffering. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    It had been half a year since Yan Fei started practicing with the steel ball projectiles, but he hadn''t quite mastered the technique, often making mistakes. However, after his trip to Africa and being spurred by the firepower of the US Army, he made great strides in his steel ball practice and finally reached the highest realm of "hitting wherever he aimed" before going to Japan. This first use of steel balls inbat disyed a high level of skill, giving his enemies an unexpected surprise.


    Having dealt with the sudden car attack, Yan Fei found himself without transportation. Looking down onto the winding mountain road, he saw the motorcycle turning at a junction ahead and continuing along the highway below. With a fierce leap, he sprang high,nding atop arge tree. Then he ran quickly along the tree trunk and leaped to another, chasing after the motorcycle at a speed that was even faster than the vehicle on the ground.


    Yan Fei leaped swiftly from treetop to treetop, taking a straight-line path, while the motorcycle on the road below moved in S-shaped bends. In no time, he had caught up with it on the road below.


    Yan Fei snapped off a tree branch and tossed it toward the motorcycle. The branch whizzed through the air towards the motorcycle. Startled, the pilot dodged frantically, only to feel a searing pain in his arm¡ªthe steel ball bullet fired by Yan Fei had struck him, causing him to lose control of the motorcycle. It tipped over, skidding across the ground for a considerable distance before hitting a rock anding to a halt.


    The distance between Yan Fei and the motorcycle was significant. The heavy branch could be thrown far, but itcked uracy. The lighter steel ball bullets, on the other hand, had trouble hitting the target at longer ranges. Yan Fei had aimed for the motorcycle pilot''s back but ended up hitting his arm instead. Fortunately, he had finally forced the motorcycle to stop.


    Yan Fei jumped down from the treetop and swiftly approached the motorcycle, only to see the pilot suddenly spring up, grab Ryoko Oogawa, and dash into the forest beside the road. At that moment, Yan Fei was some distance away, flicking steel ball bullets in rapid session, none of which hit due to the great distance. Then they ran into the nearby forest, with Yan Fei following them into the woods to continue the chase.


    The forest resembled a primitive jungle, dense with thorns, barely navigable. But the motorcycle pilot was no slouch; he ran swiftly through the forest, pulling Ryoko Oogawa along. Despite quickly sustaining numerous injuries, he didn''t slow down. Meanwhile, Yan Fei pursued them through the air, leaping from onerge tree to another, rapidly closing the gap between him, the motorcycle pilot, and Ryoko Oogawa.


    Eyeing the figure of Ryoko Oogawa flickering through the gaps in the trees not far ahead, Yan Fei pushed himself towards arge tree in front. While still mid-air, a strong premonition suddenly arose within him. A bullet flew from a distance, and he twisted in the air to evade, but couldn''tpletely avoid it, feeling a sharp pain as his left shoulder was struck. The bullet''s momentum carried him far backwards before he fell into a thorny bush on the ground.


    As soon as Yan Feinded, he felt an intense pain in his shoulder. He had been slightly careless, not expecting that a sniper would be hidden in this primeval forest, leading to him being hit. Fortunately, the bullet caliber wasn''trge, and it had passed through his shoulder without remaining inside his body, mitigating the severity of his injury. His robust physique meant that while the wound was painful, it was far from crippling hisbat power. He rolled over and stood up, continuing the chase towards the direction Ryoko Oogawa had fled.


    Yan Fei became alert, so when the second bullet was fired, he sessfully dodged it and then located the sniper shooter ahead. He spun around, abandoning the chase after Ryoko Oogawa, and instead lunged toward the direction of the sniper. In the primitive forest, if he didn''t take out the hidden sniper, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him¡ªhe might lose Ryoko Oogawa and even risk his own life.


    The sniper was a full five hundred meters away from Yan Fei, but such was Yan Fei''s speed that he quickly approached the sniper''s position. Seeing Yan Fei draw near, the sniper kept firing at him, but Yan Fei, now on guard, sessfully evaded the shots by using the trees for cover, rendering the sniper bullets unable to hit him. Just as Yan Fei was about to reach the sniper, suddenly another bullet shot out from the side. With his high level of concentration, Yan Fei instantly detected the iing bullet and smoothly dodged it.


    It turned out that next to this sniper, there was another sniper position, hiding another marksman. This sniper was very cunning, having not attacked Yan Fei earlier but choosing to attack suddenly when Yan Fei was about to reach the first sniper, attempting a stealthy assault¡ªonly to still be discovered and evaded by Yan Fei.


    Although Yan Fei had sessfully dodged the second sniper''s bullet, he could no longer stand up. The two sniper positions mutually covered each other, and the snipers'' firing lines blocked all angles, preventing Yan Fei from getting any closer.


    Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, Ryoko Oogawa was about to disappear from Yan Fei''s sight. He felt an urgent panic in his heart, but under the suppression of the two snipers, he could not afford to rise. He began to check the items stored in the Universal Space and saw several barrels of gasoline. An idea struck him, and he took out a barrel and hurled it toward thetter sniper.


    That sniper had been closely monitoring Yan Fei''s movements and, seeing something thrown, immediately fired a shot, piercing the object. Gasoline leaked out instantly. Yan Fei threw his lighter with a flick of his hand, igniting the gasoline mid-air. A streak of fire shed through the air, then the me fell to the ground, starting a raging fire. The sniper was wearing infrared equipment, which allowed him to spot Yan Fei in the dark. The sudden appearance of the fire caused his eyes intense pain, and then he became blind.

    That sniper had been closely monitoring Yan Fei''s movements and, seeing something thrown, immediately fired a shot, piercing the object. Gasoline leaked out instantly. Yan Fei threw his lighter with a flick of his hand, igniting the gasoline mid-air. A streak of fire shed through the air, then the me fell to the ground, starting a raging fire. The sniper was wearing infrared equipment, which allowed him to spot Yan Fei in the dark. The sudden appearance of the fire caused his eyes intense pain, and then he became blind.


    The other sniper suffered a simr fate, suddenly faced with blinding white light and rendered blind.


    Yan Fei lunged forward, performing several rolls, and sessfully got close to the first sniper. He saw the sniper frantically trying to remove the infrared device on his head. With a flick of his finger, a steel ball bullet shot into the sniper''s forehead, killing him instantly. Moving forward, Yan Fei collected the sniper''s rifle and bullets into the Universal Space, then headed toward the other sniper.


    That sniper had been staring directly at the fire, so his eyes suffered more damage, and he had not recovered yet. Yan Fei pounced, lightly tapping the man''s throat with his foot, and his entire throat was instantly crushed, killing him outright. Yan Fei again collected the sniper rifle and bullets and stored them in the Universal Space.


    After taking out the two snipers, Yan Fei turned back and chased after Ryoko Oogawa with renewed vigor. Initially, the motorcycle pilot was leading Ryoko Oogawa out of Yan Fei''s sight, but once Yan Fei started running quickly through the trees, the distance between them quickly closed.


    Ryoko Oogawa was shocked to see Yan Fei catching up and forcefully pushed the motorcycle pilot behind her, then sped up her escape. The motorcycle pilot, shoved by Ryoko Oogawa, fell over on the ground, his face showing a mix of astonishment and disbelief. Yan Fei caught up and shot a steel ball bullet at the pilot, who, despite being quite strong himself, managed to dodge swiftly but notpletely, getting hit in the thigh.


    But the pilot was exceptionally fierce and took advantage of Yan Fei''s attack, pouncing on him, attempting to pin Yan Fei harshly to the ground. However, he underestimated Yan Fei''s strength. With a fierce punch to the pilot''s back, the pilot screamed in pain, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but refused to let go. Yan Fei twirled around and threw the pilot off, causing him to smash against arge tree, then slumped to the ground, motionless.


    After dealing with the motorcycle pilot, Yan Fei looked back, only to see Ryoko Oogawa had run out of the forest. Beyond the forest was a huge estate, surrounded by sentry posts with armed guards, looking heavily fortified. On the sign in front of the estate was written the bold characters for "Oogawa."


    Yan Fei was taken aback. By the looks of this estate, it must be the Oogawa Family''s headquarters. He didn''t realize he had chased Ryoko Oogawa to this ce; no wonder she was heading here. And nearby, there were two snipers hidden, apparently to guard the estate.

 Chapter 106 Chapter 79: Massive Merit

    106 Chapter 79: Massive Merit


    Ryoko Oogawa saw the estate ahead and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her face showing a tired but hopeful smile as she ran swiftly towards the manor. At that moment, the estate gates opened and several Hummer military vehicles drove out, ready to wee Ryoko Oogawa.


    Yan Fei was about to catch up and finish off Ryoko Oogawa when he heard a noise. The motorcycle rider who had been motionless on the ground suddenly leaped up and clung to his thigh again. Yan Fei, eager to catch up to Ryoko, punched the rider''s back furiously, punching a hole through, expelling blood filled with chunks of internal organs. However, the motorcycle rider did not let go of Yan Fei''s thigh but held on even tighter.


    Enraged, Yan Fei struck down with his palm, hitting the motorcycle rider squarely on the crown of the head. The impact shattered the skull and even exploded brain matter, finally killing him. But even in death, he still clung tightly to Yan Fei''s thigh. Yan Fei shook his leg and tossed the rider''s body far away, then sprinted towards Ryoko Oogawa.


    Ryoko was covered in wounds, her clothes soaked with blood. Catching sight of her family''s estate ignited hope within her, and she sped towards it. The Hummer Convoy, arriving to retrieve her, also elerated to take Ryoko under their protection. Guards at the posts trained their guns towards the forest to suppress any threat from that direction.


    Just as Ryoko was about to enter the protection circle of the Hummer convoy, she suddenly staggered, a steel ball unexpectedly lodged in her forehead, sting a bloody hole. Ryoko''s face, which was filled with hope, registered disbelief, and then she reached out towards the Hummer convoy ahead and fell straight down, breathless. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The Captain of the Hummer convoy arriving to greet her was shocked. Looking over, he saw a shadow darting in the distant woods before disappearing from view, leaving behind a slew of security personnel by the estate gates, utterly panicked.


    After considerable struggle, Yan Fei finally managed to kill Ryoko Oogawa right as she was about to return to the Oogawa Family Manor, not only avenging himself but also eliminating the risk of his identity being exposed. With Ryoko Oogawa and Jo Oogawa dead, and the server containing data seized by Yan Fei, all analysts killed, he btedly rectified the greatest weakness of his potentially exposed identity.


    Hitting his target, Yan Fei quickly retreated and soon returned to the ce where he was initially hit by a sniper''s bullet. He found arge amount of blood on the ground - his own from before. This was his first time being struck by a bullet, and without any experience, he had sttered blood everywhere. However, he swiftly constricted his muscles to staunch the bleeding, preventing any further blood loss.


    Yan Fei''s identity must remain absolutely confidential, so he had to eliminate all remaining evidence. Surveying the range of blood stter, he realized he couldn''t thoroughly clean the blood in a short amount of time. Moreover, situated near the headquarters of the Oogawa Family, he could very well be pursued by them at any time. He didn''t dare underestimate the Oogawa Family; after all, Hideo Oogawa had left a profound impression on him. No one knew if there were other powerful experts in the Oogawa Family Manor, which was one reason he refrained from entering the manor and unleashing a massacre.


    Not daring to linger, Yan Fei opened the Universal Space again, took out a barrel of gasoline, doused the ce with gas, and lit it using a lighter. A raging fire engulfed the woods. With the fire burning, all traces of Yan Fei''s blood were incinerated, leaving no evidence behind.


    Having dealt with any potential traces at the scene, Yan Fei started his return to Tokyo Downtown.


    Meanwhile, in the distant skies above the mountain, the Drone Avatar and the F-2 Fighter continued their relentless dogfight. The Drone asionally dived at the F-2, feigning an attack, but did notunch any missiles. The F-2 Pilot, cautious even after calcting that the Drone had already fired four missiles, did not rashly approach, still wary of the Drone''s cannon rounds, which could intercept missiles. The Pilot, when faced with a dive from the Drone, wouldunch an air-to-air missile to obstruct, but all his fired missiles were destroyed by the Drone''s cannon.


    This way, the Drone Avatar and the F-2 Fighter depleted their ammunition without achieving any significantbat results. The Drone''s Auxiliary Brain was continuously calcting the F-2 Fighter''s weapon expenditure, and after the F-2unched another air-to-air missile at the Drone, it didn''t use its cannon to intercept it. Instead, it swiftly retreated, finally using a quick climb to make the missile hit a tree and escape the missile attack.


    The F-2 Fighter Pilot was invigorated as he realized the Drone''s cannons did not fire again, signaling that it had run out of weapons and could no longer pose a threat to him. Seeing the Drone elerating, attempting to flee, he pursued without hesitation, aiming to shoot the Drone down.


    Yan Fei feigned the loss of his weapons to bait the F-2 closer for an attack. His precise calctions indicated the F-2 Fighter could carry eight air-to-air missiles, but they had all beenunched in response to the Drone''s provocations. Now, without missiles, the F-2 Fighter intending to attack the unarmed Drone had to rely on its Vulcan Gun - but to use it, the F-2 needed to close in on the Drone, anding too close to the Drone would spell the F-2 Fighter''s doom.


    The F-2 Fighter Pilot rapidly closed in on the Drone, still unaware that danger was imminent. By the time he was less than five hundred meters away and ready to fire the Vulcan Gun, he saw a sh of firelight beneath the Drone''s wings as two more Air-to-Air Missiles wereunched.


    The F-2 Fighter Pilot was shocked, not expecting the Drone to have missiles. He tried to escape, but at such close range, with the Auxiliary Brain''s precise calctions, the two missiles had already sealed off all escape routes for the F-2. He didn''t have time to flee before he was hit by one of the Air-to-Air Missiles and exploded in mid-air. From the missile''sunch to the F-2 being hit, the span was extremely short; the Fighter Pilot didn''t even manage to react before he perished along with the F-2 Fighter.


    Having dealt with that F-2 Fighter, Yan Fei had just taken a breath of relief when the Quantum Radar detected the presence of three more F-2 Fighters on the distant horizon. Facing such opponents head-on, Yan Fei had a hard time handling even one F-2 Fighter, and now faced with three, the odds of victory were even slimmer. Plus, this was Japan''s home court; no one knew how many Fighters they wouldunch against his Drone Avatar. So, Yan Fei turned around and started flying the Drone towards Tokyo Bay.


    The radar on the F-2 Fighters couldn''t detect as far as the Drone''s Quantum Radar. When they neared the battlefield, they found the Drone had already fled. The Drone had been flying low to the ground, and after the F-2s lost it, their radar simply couldn''t locate the Drone again, allowing it to safely return to Tokyo Bay, where it submerged and went into hiding.


    Meanwhile, Yan Fei was running swiftly, soon arriving where his Motorcycle had gone off the cliff. Climbing down, he saw his Motorcycle hanging in the crown of a towering tree, seemingly undamaged, which gave him a sigh of relief. He quickly climbed the tree, stowed the Motorcycle into the Universal Space, and then set off toward Tokyo.


    Luckily it waste at night and the highway was sparsely popted, which is why Yan Fei and Ryoko Oogawa''s pursuit went unnoticed. Otherwise, Yan Fei''s n to kill Ryoko Oogawa would likely have encountered additionalplications.


    Yan Fei''s sudden strike tonight was not only a vent for deep-seated grievances but also thoroughly eliminated a major threat to himself, which left him extremely pleased. Shortly after returning to his rented ce, he noticed a widespread lockdown of the surrounding streets, with police widely deployed and checking vehicles on the roads.


    Yan Fei realized that his actions this evening were quite significant. He had not only killed two direct descendants of the Oogawa Family but also destroyed an armed helicopter and two F-2 Fighters of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, causing a major shock to the Japanese Government. That''s why they were conducting arge-scale inspection in Tokyo Downtown''s streets, looking for suspects to bring the murderer to justice.


    Seeing the strict police checks, Yan Fei didn''t immediately head to the Port of Tokyo to board a ship and smuggle himself back home. Instead, he chose to stay put for a while, waiting out the heightened scrutiny. After all, he had already aplished his objective in Japan and wasn''t in a hurry anymore; staying a few extra days was no big deal.


    What Yan Fei didn''t realize was the extent of the shock his actions had caused the Japanese Government. The Oogawa Family, having suffered a great loss, was seething with anger, vowing to catch the murderer of their heirs and avenge Ryoko Oogawa. Jo Oogawa''s death was less of an issue since the family had not valued him significantly. However, Ryoko Oogawa was not only outstanding by herself but was also the linchpin of the Oogawa Family''s alliance with the Yamamoto Family. His death at the family manor''s front door was a great blow to their honor. Because of this, the Oogawa Family was about to face reproach from the Yamamoto Family, which would be highly detrimental to them.


    As for the Japan Self-Defense Forces, they were scared witless. A small Drone, infiltrating Japan''s homnd unnoticed, unexpectedly took down two fully armed F-2 Fighters and an armed helicopter inbat, and afterward, they couldn''t find any trace of the Drone. This all was inconceivable. Aren''t Drones supposed to be on the receiving end of a massacre when up against manned Fighters? How did it suddenly reverse, with their advanced manned Fighters bing the ones massacred?


    Yan Fei had returned to his rental cottage by this time. Although he had been hit by a sniper''s bullet, his injuries were not too severe. By midnight, when the data refreshed, his wounds would nearly heal under the effect of Mysterious Power. So he was in a good mood, looking through the Auxiliary Brain at the gains from tonight''s operation.


    Firing missiles in Tokyo Downtown, he downed an armed helicopter, earning 300 Merit Points (300 points per helicopter); firing missiles to bring down two F-2 Fighters, earning 800 Merit Points (400 points per F-2 Fighter), and killed four military personnel including the Pilots, gaining 4 Merit Points, totaling 1104 Merit Points for the sortie. The cumtive Merit Points stood at 2954 points.


    Yan Fei was very satisfied looking at his Merit Points. Ever since the Drone Upgrade to Level 3, the pace of gaining Merit Points had slowed significantly. But one sortie to Africa brought in 1387 points, and one to Japan 1104 points; just these two operations amounted to 2493 points. A few more operations like these and the Drone would quickly amass enough Merit Points for another upgrade.

 Chapter 107 Chapter 80 The Four Major Famous Detectives

    107 Chapter 80 The Four Major Famous Detectives


    Yan Fei was enjoying the plentiful bounty of this vengeful sortie, while Japan was shrouded in gloom and destion due to the sudden drone attacks.


    Two of Japan Self-Defense Forces'' F-2 Fighters and an armed helicopter were shot down by a mysterious drone over their own territory. Although the Japanese Government immediately concealed the news, they couldn''t hide it from the United States Army, which had bases and radars spread across Japan. So when this explosive piece of information was obtained by the US forces stationed in Japan, they approached the Japanese Government and began exchanging intelligence.


    In the Japan-US Joint Operations Room in Tokyo, a US military officer named Harrison pointed to the "Predator Drone" on the screen with hisser pointer and said, "This is the drone that has been masquerading as our Predator. It''s been causing chaos everywhere and framing the United States military. We''ve been tracking it for a long time, but haven''t been able to obtain any useful intelligence. Unexpectedly, it has now appeared in Japan."


    A Japanese intelligence officer named Isao Inoue said, "ording to the intelligence we''ve gathered, this drone first appeared over three months ago, in the territorial waters where the East China Sea and South Korea''s West Sea meet. That was its first sighting, and then it brazenly destroyed three of South Korea''s patrol boats right before everyone''s eyes. We noticed the drone back then, but we thought it was one of yours, so we didn''t pay much attention to it."


    The US military officer, Harrison, gave a wry smile and said, "We are military allies with South Korea; how could we possibly send a ne to attack their patrol boats for no reason? Because that drone resembled our Predator, we took it very seriously and started an internal investigation, only to find that none of our Predators were in that area at the time. We found that strange andter noticed some differences in appearance; the drone was slightlyrger than our Predators. We have already reported this intelligence to you."


    Isao Inoue nodded and said, "After we received your report, we paid special attention to this drone, but we haven''t been able to find any useful information."


    Although Japan and the United States are allies, both had their own ulterior motives and were notpletely truthful in their intelligence exchanges. On the night when the Oogawa Family used a submarine to transport people to the seas outside Shanghai, Japan''sser weapon had dismembered a drone. However, due to the involvement of the Oogawa Family and the use of a highly secret and experimental onboardser weapon, the Japanese side withheld this most useful piece of intelligence from the American side.


    Harrison continued, "While we were further investigating this drone, our Air Force and Army units in the African continent encountered it and had a fierce firefight with it."


    Isao Inoue''s interest was piqued, and he asked hastily, "How did the fight go?"


    Harrison shook his head and said, "We werepletely defeated. We had deployed two F-16 fighters, and during the engagement with that drone, they were all shot down. In addition to that, three transport helicopters and 128 Army soldiers were taken down."


    Isao Inoue inhaled sharply and said, "With that being said, is the sudden appearance of this drone in our Japan, taking down our two F-2 Fighters and an armed helicopter, not really a big deal?"


    Harrison agreed and said, "Given thebat power it has shown, it indeed seems insignificant. To put it bluntly, the fighter jets your side sent into battle were F-2s, which are somewhat inferior to our F-16s. Besides, your pilotsckbat experiencepared to our US pilots, so it''s understandable that they were shot down."


    Isao Inoue''s face darkened, but he remained silent. These Americans looked down on everyone, and they were openly mocking them. However, Isao Inoue, extremely patient and tolerant, did not retaliate on the spot.


    Harrison continued, "We did not expect this drone to be so formidable. Based on the intelligence weter gathered, its maneuverability is exceptional, and it seems to have a very advanced onboard radar system. What''s unique is that there is a Vulcan Gun mounted on the nose, which, inbination with the radar, can intercept missiles using the nose-mounted Vulcan as a naval cannon, which is quite incredible when you think about it."


    Isao Inoue added, "Not only that, it has 4 weapon mount points, and each can carry 4 missiles, so it can carry a total of 16 missiles. With the Vulcan cannon at the nose as well, itsbat power far exceeds that of the world''s conventional third-generation fighter jets."


    Harrison also added, "ording to our eyewitnesses, this drone can fly close to the ground, and its top flight speed is estimated to be close to Mach 1."


    Isao Inoue nodded and said, "Before our pilots were shot down, they transmitted a piece of information that the drone''s speed was not up to par and its attack range was limited. It was precisely by exploiting speed and maneuverability that they were able to keep them at bay, so slow speed and limited attack range are likely its weaknesses."


    Harrison said, "Although the drone has the weaknesses of speed and attack range, because of its ability to hug the terrain, our radars have a hard time spotting it. Even knowing these weaknesses, it''s still very difficult to deal with."


    Isao Inoue said, "Since it''s an unmanned drone, there must surely be someone operating it. If we can estimate its control distance, maybe we can find its whereabouts by locating the operator. Moreover, drones require a t runway for takeoff; by paying attention to t runway locations nearby when it appears, we may uncover traces of it."


    Harrison sighed, "I originally thought that our United States was the most advanced country in the world when it came to drones; yet, this drone haspletely overturned my expectations. Mr. Inoue, which country do you think produced this drone?"


    Knowing that Harrison was starting to suspect that the drone was made in Japan, Isao Inoue quickly deflected the me, saying, "Are you suggesting, Mr. Harrison, that this drone was made by China?"


    Harrison replied, "We previously suspected that the drone was made in China, but wecked concrete evidence. Right now, we don''t even know if the drone that sank South Korea''s patrol boats, took out our two F-16s in Africa, and appeared recently in your Japan to take down your two F-2s is the same drone, or why it is targeting us. All of this is what we need to investigate next."


    Isao Inoue closed the folder and said, "In that case, Mr. Harrison, we will continue to gather relevant intelligence. Once we have thetest information, we will immediately let your side know."


    Harrison shook hands with Isao Inoue to say goodbye, saying, "We will also promptly exchange information with your side, hoping to find the Drone. After all, our interests in this Drone are aligned." n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    With that, the representatives from the US side bid farewell and left. As soon as they were gone, Isao Inoue immediately made a phone call, saying, "It has been confirmed, the sudden retreat of the US Forces near Kenya in Africa''s waters is rted to that Drone."


    The voice on the phone quickly conveyed new instructions. Isao Inoue, holding the phone, bowed repeatedly with utmost respect, continuously saying, "Yes, I understand. I will handle it immediately, yes..."


    Atst, Isao Inoue said, "Our side''s test ofser weapons on a fighter jet in the East China Sea destroyed a Drone, and I suspect that Drone is linked to the one which appeared here in Japan."


    Before Isao Inoue could finish his sentence, a stern warning came through the receiver, and he bowed again, saying, "Yes, I''m aware of that, I will keep it secret!"


    Yan Fei was unaware that due to the sudden appearance of the Drone Avatar in Japan and its downing of two F-2s, the US and Japanese forces had begun exchanging intelligence, and they had even surmised a portion of his Drone''s strength. He was now lyingfortably in his rented room, happily watching television.


    In the TV news reports, there was no information about the Drone and the F-2 fighter jets'' engagement, nor was there any mention of fighter jets crashing. The news simply covered a minor traffic incident in the area, which had necessitated road closures by government departments, but now the issue was resolved and traffic flowed smoothly...


    Yan Fei scoffed at this news report. The Japanese Government was too cowardly. They had taken significant losses yet didn''t dare let their citizens know, not even brave enough to report the truth. Was this the press freedom that those pro-Japanese factions in China boasted about? If this was their idea of press freedom, then fake news did not exist in the world.


    Feeling cheerful, Yan Fei had the mood to criticize the Japanese Government''s news censorship. Meanwhile, at the Oogawa Family, it was a picture of gloom and doom. Ryoko Oogawa, the family''s most promising young generation member, died at the entrance of the Oogawa Family Manor. Not only did the Oogawa Family mourn the loss of a family elite, but they were also humiliated, pped in the face, and ridiculed by other families.


    At this moment, in the Oogawa Family Manor, a short-statured young man was carefully examining the body of Ryoko Oogawa in front of n Leader Yohei Oogawa.


    The young man with ck-framed sses was attentively inspecting Ryoko Oogawa''s body, not overlooking even the hidden points. After a while, the young man looked at Yohei Oogawa and said, "Mr. Oogawa, I can only assert that Miss Ryoko was killed by a Steel Ball Bullet. Before she was killed, Miss Ryoko went through a long escape, but in the end, she was still murdered."


    Yohei Oogawa tapped his cane firmly, an angry expression on his face, and said, "Mr. Hasegawa, you are Japan''s most formidable detective. I believe you will find the murderer of Ryoko. I''ll have the killer torn to pieces to avenge Ryoko."


    The young man named Hasegawa pushed up his ck-framed sses with confidence and said, "Mr. Oogawa, rest assured, since I''m here, I''m here to help you. I believe no case in this world can escape my reasoning. I will find the real murderer."


    A young man behind Yohei Oogawa whispered, "What an inted level of confidence this man has, not fearing that such self-assurance might make him the subject of ridicule."


    Another young man gently nudged him and said, "Yoryo, keep it down. If others heard you, they mightugh at you instead."


    Yoryo Oogawa replied, "Did I say something wrong? This guy ims there''s no case in the world he can''t crack¡ªdoesn''t that sound like boasting?"


    The other young man responded, "He says that because he has the strength to back it up. He''s not boasting."


    Yoryo Oogawa said in surprise, "That can''t be possible. Are there really people that capable in this world?"


    The other young man said, "Believe it or not, there really are such capable people in this world. They possess various innate abilities when facing cases, and no case can evade their pursuit. Moreover, there''s not just one such person in the world, but a total of four."


    Yoryo Oogawa asked with skepticism, "Really? There are four such people, and I''ve never heard of them. Are they all detectives?"


    The young man replied, "Indeed, they''re all renowned detectives, esteemed worldwide. As such, in China, they''re referred to as the ''Four Great Detectives,'' a title said to have originated from a famous Chinese martial arts novel. As you know, Chinese culture has been really popr worldwidetely, so gradually the title ''Four Great Detectives'' spread within the circle. Eventually, everyone began using it to refer to those four most famous detectives."

 Chapter 108 Chapter 81: Important Task

    108 Chapter 81: Important Task


    Yoryo Oogawa had not imagined that there could be such formidable people in this world. He suddenly felt as if the world had opened a brand-new window to him. He asked, "Where are these Four Major famous detectives located?"


    The young man beside him said, "The Four Major famous detectives are distributed across four different countries. Our country''s famous detective is the young man wearing ck-rimmed sses right in front of us, his name is Takashi Hasegawa. The other three are located in The United States of America, Britain, and China respectively."


    Yoryo Oogawa, curious, asked, "Why are there famous detectives only in these four countries? Who are they?"


    The young man beside him was about to answer this question when he realized that they had spoken too loudly and were overheard by Yohei Oogawa. Thus, Yohei Oogawa turned his head to scold them, and they immediately shut up, not daring to digress again.


    After Takashi Hasegawa finished examining the body of Ryoko Oogawa, he said, "The body examination isplete. I must conduct a detailed investigation at the crime scene."


    Yohei Oogawa said, "Yoryo, you apany Mr. Hasegawa to examine the scene. You must fulfill any requests he has, if there are any slip-ups, I''ll hold you ountable."


    Yoryo Oogawa quickly replied, "Please rest assured, Grandfather, I will fully cooperate with Mr. Hasegawa."


    And so, Yoryo Oogawa took Hasegawa and his assistant into the forest behind the estate, while Yohei Oogawa, feeling too angry and unwell, returned to the estate to rest.


    Once inside the forest, Takashi Hasegawa noticed that it was rather dim, so his assistant immediately switched on a specially-made light and began using it to examine the details within the forest. Illuminated by this mysterious light, many normally overlooked details started to be visible. Hasegawa began to observe the minutiae of the forest, scrutinizing every suspicious point without missing anything, until they emerged from the other side of the forest.


    Looking back at the forest, Takashi Hasegawa closed his eyes in thought. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said, "The killer is a male, 178cm in height, weighing 80kg. He pursued Miss Ryoko into the forest from here. However, he did not run on the ground but jumped between the trees, which is why there are no footprints of his on the ground here."


    Yoryo Oogawa followed Takashi Hasegawa back into the forest, moving in the way Yan Fei had. Hasegawa exined Yan Fei''s method of moving through the forest while pointing to the trees above. If Yan Fei were here, he would be astounded upon hearing Hasegawa''s detailed exnation because not a single point was incorrect; it was exactly the way he had entered the forest. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Takashi Hasegawa led the group to an area with evidence of a fire. He said, "The killer should have been hit by the sniper''s bullet here and injured because there is a slight smell of blood in the air. This blood scent does not match any from the Oogawa family who were murdered, so the killer definitely left his blood here. However, he obviously discovered this blunder and used gasoline to burn the scene, incinerating all traces of blood here. But since he chose to burn it with gasoline, it tells us he was rushed and couldn''tpletely dispose of all clues in a short time. So, there must still be other clues left behind. Look around this area."


    Hasegawa''s assistants began to search the vicinity, with Yoryo Oogawa helping out. After a while, a shout of joy resounded; one of Hasegawa''s assistants found a small hole in a charred tree, which had a tiny aperture inside it exposing the deformed bullet warhead.


    Hasegawa approached and used a tool to dig out the deformed bullet warhead, indeed finding a trace of dried blood at the tip. He carefully ced the bullet inside an evidence bag, preserving it well. Even though the blood on the bullet had evaporated in the fire, they might still find the suspect''s DNA in this trace of blood.


    Then, Takashi Hasegawa continued moving forward with the group to the location where two snipers had met their fate. Hasegawa pointed to a spot and said, "The killer encountered the second sniper here. He was trapped at this spot but then suddenly took out a canister of gasoline and ignited the gasoline within it. This blinded the two snipers wearing infrared equipment for a few moments, allowing the killer to eliminate them. The evidence is the burnt gasoline can and the remnants of a lighter on the ground."


    At this point, Takashi Hasegawa seemed puzzled. He pointed at the gasoline can on the ground and said, "This gasoline can holds more than 50 kilograms of gasoline, and the killer himself weighs 80 kilograms. Why would the killer think to carry a gasoline can with him while chasing after Miss Ryoko? Moreover, under the circumstance of carrying such a heavy can, how could he still leap freely between trees? Besides,ter he used another can of gasoline to erase the clues, yet there''s no container for gasoline found at the scene. Could it be that he carried two gasoline cans with him and still took away an unnecessary one afterward? Furthermore, the sniper rifles of the two snipers have also disappeared, probably taken by the killer. But why would he take such heavy and useless items? After all, he did not even end up using the sniper rifle..."

 Chapter 109 Chapter 81: Important Task_2

    109 Chapter 81: Important Task_2


    Takashi Hasegawa was not a martial artist, hence his understanding of human physical limits contained huge errors, and he never got a reasonable exnation for it, so his puzzlement over the gasoline, gasoline barrels, and the sniper rifle never reached a definitive conclusion. Frowning, he arrived at thest spot and, pointing at the marks on the ground, said, "From the marks here, it''s apparent that the motorcycle rider killed by the assant was fleeing with Miss Ryoko Oogawa. But for some reason, Miss Ryoko suddenly pushed the rider who was helping her escape to the back and used him to block the assant while she herself took the chance to run away."


    Takashi Hasegawa''s assistant came over with an iPad and showed him the information on it. Hasegawa said, "So the motorcyclist''s name was Koseki Ito. He has been harboring a secret love for Miss Ryoko, no wonder he resisted the killer so desperately to protect her."


    Yoryo Oogawa watched Takashi Hasegawa deducing the case at the crime scene as if he had witnessed it all with his own eyes. Although Yoryo didn''t know if Hasegawa''s deductions were factual, just listening to him speak was quite impressive, and he felt a sense of respect mixed with iprehension.


    After investigating thest spot, Hasegawa stepped out of the forest once more onto the road outside and began to examine the traces there. After a while, he said, "Miss Ryoko was about to return to the estate but was tragically killed by a steel ball bullet at thest moment. It is truly a pity, she was only a step away from escape."


    Yoryo Oogawa said, "Mr. Hasegawa, do you know who the killer is now?"


    Takashi Hasegawa shook his head, "The killer is very cunning and powerful. I''ve only formed a preliminary impression of him; the current clues do not reveal his identity. I need to backtrack Miss Ryoko''s escape route to find more evidence, and only then can we identify the real killer."


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª


    The streets near Yan Fei were in a state of tight martialw and inspection until the next day when the presence of police on the streets gradually diminished, and the martialw was lifted. Yan Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. His injuries had mostly healed by midnight Tokyo time, thanks to the effect of a Mysterious Power, and after resting for one more day, he was fully recovered. Therefore, he decided to leave Japan that evening and return to China by stowing away on a cargo ship, to avoid any furtherplications. As long as he returned to China and abided by thew, all would be peaceful for him.


    However, what Yan Fei did not expect was that in the evening, the surrounding police presence increased again, and they tightly sealed off the surrounding blocks, beginning to search each nearby house one by one. Some people were also subjected to intense questioning. Yan Fei became instantly nervous because these police were Fully Armed, carrying both light and heavy weapons, and even apanied by armored vehicles, with police helicopters circling overhead. The inspectors entering homes looked like military personnel. He also overheard a few police officers saying to search carefully and that they must catch that Chinese person this time. He immediately realized that his cover had been blown and that Japan''s police and Self-Defense Force members had nowe knocking.


    As the encirclement tightened, Yan Fei became increasingly anxious. He didn''t know at which point a slip-up had exposed his whereabouts, but he knew that an unavoidable fight was imminent. Thus, the Drone that had been lurking at the bottom of Tokyo Bay began to move stealthily towards his location. The Drone, crawling along the seafloor and not moving quickly, went undetected by anyone. It theny in ambush less than five kilometers away from Yan Fei, still submerged underwater.


    Yan Fei silently prepared for a major confrontation, waiting for the situation to be uncontroble. At that point, he would suddenly attack with the Drone, wreaking havoc before escaping in the chaos. Once he got away, he would immediately find a way to return home, vowing never toe to Japan again. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The police and Self-Defense Force soldiers slowly approached Yan Fei''s rental home. Yan Fei hid behind the door, carefully watching the police outside. Suddenly, he heard a noise from the window behind him and a person flipped into the room from the window next door. Startled, he turned around and instinctively asked in Mandarin, "Who is it? Who''s there?"


    The person, initially hiding behind the curtain, came out as soon as Yan Fei asked the question in Mandarin. In perfect Mandarin, the person said, "Are you Chinese?"


    Yan Fei was surprised; he hadn''t expected the person who climbed through his window would be a beautiful woman in her twenties. She had a voluptuous figure, a pretty face, and an air of valor about her, speaking Mandarin with remarkable fluency. She was actually the neighbor who lived next door to him, but he had never intended to interact with the neighbors, nor had he visited them. Unexpectedly, she had climbed into his ce today.


    Yan Fei said, "Yes, I''m Chinese. Are you too?"


    But the woman did not respond to Yan Fei''s question. Instead, she urgently said, "Are you an overseas Chinese, a student here for studies, or a tourist?"


    Yan Fei casually replied, "I''m here on a tour."


    The woman''s face showed hesitation for a moment before she finally spoke earnestly, "Comrade, I am also Chinese. I belong to an important department of the state, currently on a very important mission, but I have been discovered by the Japanese, and the police and Self-Defense Force members surrounding us are here to catch me. For the sake of us both being Chinese, I need your assistance right now."


    Yan Fei was taken aback. He had thought the police and soldiers outside were after him, only to realize they were drawn in by this woman. She imed to be an official from China in trouble, seeking his help. Although he was not sure about the truth, given the circumstances and being in a foreignnd, he decided to assist her. He said, "I''m willing to help. What do you need me to do for you?"


    The woman struggled, her face tense. Finally, she took a deep breath and said, "Among those pursuing me, there are undoubtedly Japanese super experts, and I cannot guarantee my safety from them. So, for safety, I must entrust you with something, for you to keep it safe for me."


    The woman took out a small USB drive from her bosom and said, "This USB drive contains very important data that might be the only copy left in the world now. It is extremely vital for our nation''s development, so it absolutely must not fall into Japanese hands. I need you to guard this USB drive for me. If I don''te back to get it from you within three days, it means something has happened to me, and you must deliver this USB drive to this address."

    Thanks to book friend yi for the reward; thank you all for your support with collections and rmendation tickets!

 Chapter 110 Chapter 82: A Twist of Fate

    110 Chapter 82: A Twist of Fate


    The woman took a pen and wrote down an address on a piece of paper. After hesitating for a moment, she added a WeChat ID above it, and handed the paper to Yan Fei along with the USB drive. She said, "If you don''t find anyone at that warehouse, it means we''ve beenpletely annihted. Please contact this WeChat ID."


    Yan Fei took the USB drive and then noticed that the address on the paper was a warehouse in Tokyo Bay. He lifted the USB drive in his hand and curiously asked, "Does this contain secret materials stolen from Japanese high-techpanies?"


    The woman, dissatisfied, said, "What kind of outdated thinking is that? Do you really think our country''s technology is still so backward? The data in this USB drive is the core data of a high-tech technology that leads the world by at least ten years. However, due to a betrayal within, it was stolen, and the original core data waspletely deleted by the traitor. If these core data are lost, our country will suffer a tremendous loss and it will even severely impact the development of our military technology level. After we discovered the theft, we started a pursuit domestically, but the person who stole the data is extremely cunning. He set up false leads all over the country, making it impossible for us to pinpoint his exact escape route. In the end, we had to act separately. I was sent to Japan and ended up trapping that traitor here and finally retrieving the stolen data."


    It was only then that Yan Fei realized that the secret data from China had been stolen. In recent years, China''s technology had started to boom, with various technological innovations leading the world. Although there were still shorings, in some areas, it had already begun to lead the entire world. Now other countries coveted our technology, wanting to steal these high and new technologies for themselves. From the way his own Dream Foods had nearly had its manufacturing process stolen by Japan''s Oogawa Family, one could see this trend. He just hadn''t expected to encounter a national worker in Tokyo chasing a traitor. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Yan Fei, curious, said, "I have aputer here. Do you want to use theputer to send the data back to China, or save it on cloud storage? It will definitely be safer than carrying around a USB drive."


    Yan Fei had the Universal Space and could carry the USB drive within it, making it undetectable by anyone else. He had just been stirring up a bit too much troubletely and wanted to keep a low profile to avoid anyplications, which is why he wanted to dispose of this hot potato as soon as possible.


    The woman said, "This USB drive has awork virus imnted by the traitor. As soon as any device plugs into it, it will send a real-time location to his behind-the-scenes organization. So the moment I plug this USB drive into yourputer, the virus will activate, not only revealing our location but also locking the data inside, making it impossible to upload or copy the data."


    Yan Fei asked, "In that case, isn''t this USB drive impossible to open?"


    With a coldugh, the woman said, "Our country''s supeputers have long ranked first and second in the world. They have incredibleputing power. With enough time in a secure environment, they can easily crack thework virus on this USB drive and retrieve all the data inside. I justck the time now. Look outside, the police are getting closer."


    Yan Fei nced outside the window and saw that police had already entered the courtyard.


    The woman then said to Yan Fei, "Comrade, you don''t know my name and I don''t know yours, but we are both Chinese. We all wish to see our mothend grow strong, so I''m entrusting this arduous task to you. I believe you won''t let me down. Stay here while I go out to draw the police away. Be careful and don''t act recklessly. Wait for me here at home. If I don''t show up three dayster, go to the address I gave you and hand the USB drive to the person there."


    Yan Fei was about to say more when the woman, seeing the urgency of the situation, shushed him and then jumped out of the window, returning to her own room. Holding the USB drive, Yan Fei suddenly felt as though it weighed a ton. He quickly ced the USB drive into the Universal Space, and with that, no one else could take it away from him.


    Yan Fei had just caught his breath when he heard a loud bang from the next room, and then someone jumped out, kicking a police officer away and grabbing his gun. The other officers were shocked and just as they were about to draw their guns, the person fired continuously, killing several officers in the courtyard, disying impressive shooting skills.


    Yan Fei looked and saw that the person who had jumped out was the same woman from before, but now she had a piece of fabric covering her face, preventing anyone from seeing her features. The woman moved swiftly and decisively, killing the policemen in the courtyard before dashing away without looking back.


    Just then, a police car suddenly rushed forward, mming into the young woman. With a nimble flip, the womannded on the roof of the police car and shot downwards, killing the police driver. She then leaped onto the roof of a neighboring shop, ready to escape. Suddenly, a roar came from below, and a man dressed in ck soared into the air, brandishing a cane knife at the woman in the air.

 Chapter 111 Chapter 82: An Unexpected Mistake_2

    111 Chapter 82: An Unexpected Mistake_2


    The woman pulled out the iron bar strapped to her back and, with a swing, struck the cane knife squarely. Using the momentum, her body soared high into the air, and just like that, she vaulted over the shops and out of sight. The man in ck roared in anger, chasing after her.


    As the young woman made her escape, the policemen and Self-Defense Force members surrounding the area started to give chase too, leaving only a few behind to handle the body of the fallen officer. The few armored vehicles and the helicopter in the sky also took off in the direction the woman had left.


    Only when he saw the woman safely away did Yan Fei drop the curtain of his room, his face showing a shocked expression. He hadn''t expected the woman''s strength to be so formidable, her movements crisp and decisive, without a hint of excess. He recognized the man in ck who attacked her, the very same Hideo Oogawa who hade to China to capture him. Oogawa looked incredibly menacing, and it was fortunate that Duan Hongye of the China Special Duties Unit had suddenly appeared and scared him off. Unexpectedly, Oogawa had shown up again tonight, yet the woman managed to escape.


    Although the policemen and Self-Defense Force members had left, Yan Fei couldn''t shake off a vague feeling that something was amiss, though he couldn''t quite put his finger on what it was. However, now that the police had gone, his rm was officially called off. He had decided to rush back to China, but since he had epted amission, he decided he would wait here for three days. If the woman did not show up, he would head to the warehouse at the Tokyo Bay port and hand over the USB drive to the contact there.


    Yan Fei started to ess the inte on his homeputer to see if the recent incident had made the news, but there was no sign of it. Normally, such a significant event would have drawn the news media to the scene, but there was silence, which made him conclude that Japan''s so-called press freedom was nothing but a sham; if they didn''t want you to see something, you would never see it.


    By ten o''clock at night, the thunderous roar of helicopters could be heard once again outside his room. Yan Fei looked out to see two police helicopters circling overhead, their powerful searchlights scanning below. Down the streets, dozens of military vehicles appeared and came to a halt near his home, and from these vehicles poured out several hundred Japanese Self-Defense Force members, fully armed, as they began to blockade the neighborhood.


    Yan Fei was startled and didn''t have time to think about what was happening when two ck Hawk transport helicopters suddenly appeared in the sky, dropping down more than thirty American soldiers. These US Forces members joined up with the Self-Defense Force members to discuss the situation. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    While they were talking, five US-painted M1A2 main battle tanks turned the far street corner, followed by a few armored transport vehicles. When these vehicles came to a stop, another fifty or sixty American soldiers jumped out.


    Yan Fei was filled with uncertainty, not knowing what situation had arisen. Then, two Apache Armed Helicopters appeared in the sky, fully armed and circling the neighborhood as if monitoring what was happening on the ground.


    Within less than ten minutes, Yan Fei''s neighborhood waspletely surrounded by US Forces and Japanese Self-Defense Forces, not only with main battle tanks and armored vehicles on the ground but also with Apache helicopters in the sky.


    Even though he had no idea what had happened, Yan Fei instinctively felt something was very wrong. He activated the submerged drone in readiness to provide fire support at a moment''s notice.


    The US military and the Self-Defense Forces had the area locked down tight. Civilians wishing to pass through were rudely turned away by the army, and those inside were not allowed to leave. The military soldiers then began to break into residential houses, dragging people out and stuffing them into buses that had arrived, all the while searching the rooms, evidently looking for something.


    Yan Fei''s bad feeling grew worse, then he heard two American soldiers who had just taken away his neighbor across the hall, talking to each other.


    One American soldier, puzzled, said, "Tom, aren''t we going to get taken to the military court for grabbing people like this?"


    Tom, the American soldier, replied, "Fes, don''t talk too much. Our mission here is to search for top-secret data taken by the Chinese. You know how fast China''s technology has been advancing in recent years. If they get their hands on this information, the consequences are unimaginable."


    Fes, the American soldier, responded, "But I''ve heard that those data originally belonged to China, right? Aren''t we effectively stealing their data?"


    With a wry smile, Tom said, "Fes, you''re too naive. Do you really think China has the ability to develop such advanced technology? They''ve stolen our technology and then im it as their own invention. They''re thieves, always pilfering technology from other nations."


    "If it''s technology stolen from us by China, why do we even need to take it back? Our technology is definitely stronger, right?" inquired Fes.


    Finding Fes stubbornly ignorant, Tom didn''t want to discuss it further, replying, "Anyway, we just have to carry out the orders from our superiors. As long as we follow thesemands, we won''t face a military court."


    Continuing his questions, Fes asked, "Didn''t our intelligence say that this ce is the hideout of the Chinese spy who took the data? Why do we need such a wide-scale operation? Wouldn''t it be better to directly catch the Chinese spy?"


    "All we know is that a Chinese person has taken the data, and thest ce she was spotted is here, but we don''t know who did it. Nor do we know if she has spread the data, so we have to detain everyone in the area until we find it," Tom exined.


    Still incredulous, Fes said, "Doing this, is the Japanese Government really fine with us grabbing their people like this?"


    Tom chuckled, "If it was any other country, even ones much weaker than Japan, we wouldn''t dare to act so brazenly. But in Japan, we can do whatever we like. Just think of the Japanese as a dog we raise; since when do dogs challenge their masters? Look at them, aren''t they dispatching their Self-Defense Forces to help us with the search?"


    Fes was astonished and said, "Doing this, isn''t the Japanese Government afraid their people will rise up against them?"


    "With so many of our military bases stationed here, what can they do? Besides, the Japanese have always revered the strong. They adore us because we beat them so badly back then. They don''t dare make a fuss about us. Oh, and by the way, I know a fun ce, with incredibly beautiful Japanese women, and you can even S/M to satisfy all your manly desires," Tom said.


    Enticed by Tom''s words, Fes quickly forgot his doubts and eagerly asked, "Where is this ce? Is it expensive..."

 Chapter 112 Chapter 83: Massacre

    112 Chapter 83: Massacre


    Hearing the conversation between the two American soldiers, Yan Fei finally understood what had felt off to him. It turned out that these US Forces and Japan Self-Defense Forces were the ones looking for the stolen high-tech data from China, and the Japanese police and soldiers he had previously encountered were actually sent by the Oogawa Family to capture him, as evidenced by Hideo Oogawa''s appearance at the scene of the incident. It was well known that although Hideo Oogawa was a renowned expert in Japan, he only obeyed orders from his family and did not work for the government.


    In this incident, there were two forces executing the capture mission, targeting two different people. The Oogawa Family was after Yan Fei, while the American soldiers targeted the woman who retrieved the secret data. Originally, Yan Fei and the woman might have never crossed paths in their lives, but fate yed its tricks, and at the same time and in the same ce, they became neighbors. Even more coincidentally, the adversaries of both of them found their way to their doors one after the other.


    Although the woman had recovered the data, she had be like a frightened bird. Assuming that anyone surrounding her was the enemy pursuing her, she inadvertently led the Oogawa Family away after leaving the data with Yan Fei. The Oogawa Family, undeniably in search of Yan Fei, saw someone leave and assumed they had found the murder suspect. Without verifying, they hastily gave chase.


    Just when Yan Fei thought the matter was over, the US Forces in coboration with the Japan Self-Defense Forces once again surrounded the area, beginning the capture of the Chinese woman who took back the data. Yan Fei, keeping his promise, waited for the woman to return for the data, only to find himself suddenly trapped within the blockade, blocked here once again. Moreover, the force blocking his way was terrifying, far superior to that of the Oogawa Family alone.


    Due to a strange twist of fate, Yan Fei and the woman had swapped identities. The woman had just broken through the Oogawa Family''s encirclement and fled, and now Yan Fei was about to face the encirclement by the US and Japanese forces in a most nonsensical mix-up.


    Although Yan Fei wasn''t the direct target of the US Forces, they didn''t care about such details. They went after anyone they saw here, and once they searched Yan Fei''s room, he would be captured. In the subsequent interrogation, Yan Fei would definitely slip up, putting him at great risk. Therefore, to avoid capture by the US Forces, Yan Fei had to find a way to leave. He looked at the fully armed forces outside the blockade ring, but this time, no one volunteered to draw the enemy''s attention away from him.


    Knowing that he couldn''t leave safely this time, Yan Fei once again activated the Drone. The Drone quickly left the water surface and began to fly at an ultra-low altitude, heading in his direction.


    The Drone had previously been lurking less than five kilometers away from Yan Fei''s actual location. At full flight speed, it would arrive here in an instant. Although the US and Japanese forces outside seemed incredibly powerful, Yan Fei feared nothing with the Drone by his side. Since the woman had led away the pursuers from the Oogawa Family for him, it was a form of reciprocity for him to deal with these US troops that hade after her.


    It was now past ten o''clock at night, and dark clouds were gathering in the sky with a breeze picking up, slowly turning into a gale. Eventually, the dark clouds pressed down on the city, and the wind blew furiously, looking as if it was turning the world upside down.


    At that moment, a group of Japan Self-Defense Forces soldiers began knocking on Yan Fei''s front door. After estimating the time, Yan Fei opened the door, and several Self-Defense Forces soldiers barged in. Without a word, they began to search the room roughly, while others pointed their guns at Yan Fei, pressed him against the wall, and tried to put stic handcuffs on him.


    Suddenly, a white light shed across the sky, followed by a thunderous roar. The thunder was so loud that it startled the Self-Defense Forces soldiers in Yan Fei''s room. Just then, Yan Fei suddenly leaned his head back and mmed it hard against the face of the soldier holding him behind, making a "pop" sound as he smashed the soldier''s head into a bloody mess, killing him instantly.


    Yan Fei spun around, his right fist mming hard into the neck of another soldier beside him, with a "crack," breaking the soldier''s neck and instantly killing him.


    The other soldiers searching the room were stunned and tried to draw their guns to retaliate, only to see Yan Fei flick his fingers rapidly,unching several steel balls that shot out like lightning, hitting them right between the eyes. The soldiers'' hands froze in mid-action, and then they copsed to the ground, dead. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Yan Fei''s sudden action eliminated the soldiers who had entered his room, alerting the troops outside. They started shouting and charged toward Yan Fei''s room, aiming to shoot him dead, even the Apache Armed Helicopters patrolling the sky were alerted. At this moment, two missiles appeared in the dark night, bringing with them mes of death and shooting towards the Apaches on patrol.


    The radars on the Apache Armed Helicopters quickly detected the iing missiles. The US military pilots urgently executed evasive maneuvers ording to tactical requirements andunched decoy res, hoping to deceive the missiles into attacking false targets. However, the two missiles were unresponsive to the decoy res; they passed through the circle of decoys and continued to chase the Apache Armed Helicopters.


    Although Apache Armed Helicopters possessed powerful low-altitude capabilities, their flight speed was slow, no match for the speed of the approaching missiles. The two missiles each struck an Apache Armed Helicopter, causing violent explosions. Huge plumes of fire burst in the sky.


    The army below was charging towards Yan Fei''s home when suddenly, an explosion was heard overhead, and then the burning wreckage of two Apache armed helicopters came crashing down, crushing several unresponsive Japan Self-Defense Force soldiers to death. The other soldiers were shocked, and upon closer inspection, they saw a drone flying overhead in the darkness. Illuminated by the white light of lightning, the drone looked incredibly ferocious.


    Then, the soldiers saw the drone''s Vulcan Gun beginning to fire, guided by tracer rounds, and took down the police helicopter and ck Hawk transport aircraft that had been circling above Yan Fei.


    The shocked soldiers on the ground started firing at the drone frantically. The anti-aircraft missiles on the five main battle tanks surrounding the district were also activated, but before they could fire the anti-aircraft missiles, the drone dived, and 30mm armor-piercing rounds rained down from above, striking the tops of the tanks on the ground.


    Tanks may im the title of kings ofnd warfare, but the 30mm Vulcan Gun of a drone is the greatest nemesis of ground-moving armor. Under the attack of 30mm armor-piercing rounds, the five US Army main battle tanks on the ground could not hold out for five seconds before they were all destroyed by the drone. The tanks exploded and burned upon impact, and not a single driver made it out.


    With one sweeping dive, the drone took out five US Army main battle tanks. Then, the drone turned around not far ahead and flew back. The soldiers of the US and Japan forces on the ground were instantly terror-stricken. Theyy on the ground and fired their guns at the drone, not even bothering to capture Yan Fei anymore. However, their small-caliber bullets had no chance of prating the drone''s specialized body. Although hit by several small-caliber bullets, the drone was unscathed, and Yan Fei did not feel any pain from injuries.


    The drone possessed tremendous maneuverability, capable even of vertical takeoff and hovering still; its quantum radar could target thousands at once. Yet Yan Fei did not demonstrate these capabilities to the soldiers; instead, he made the drone behave almost like any other. After all, having one more trump card could mean an extra chance of survival when it mattered.


    The drone returned, and the Vulcan Gun fired again, destroying all the armored vehicles behind the main battle tanks, and arge number of soldiers still inside the armored vehicles were eliminated.


    Having annihted the US military''s armored vehicles, the drone turned around again and flew back. The Vulcan Gun started switching ammunition, from armor-piercing rounds to explosive rounds, then fired repeatedly at the targets below. Explosions rocked the ground continuously, and mes shot up everywhere, as the soldiers without cover were blown to death or wounded by bullets and shrapnel. Their pathetic small-caliber bullets werepletely ineffective against the drone, utterly unable to breach its defenses.


    Under Yan Fei''s control, the Auxiliary Brain swiftly scanned with the quantum radar, revealing all the hidden enemies below, and with the precise control of the Auxiliary Brain, the Vulcan Gunmenced a fierce attack. In less than a minute, all the soldiers surrounding the area were killed by the drone.


    Inevitably, the drone''s battle also caused coteral damage to the houses here. Even a few of the Japanese people who had been captured on the nearby bus died innocent deaths. Although Yan Fei felt a twinge of guilt in his heart, there was nothing he could do. Tonight''s operation amounted to an act of war where the sole purpose was to kill as many enemies as possible while preserving one''s own life. These Japanese people were merely coterally involved. Yet in war, who isn''t innocent?


    This ce had originally beenpletely encircled and blockaded by the US and Japanese forces, with a full array of light and heavy weapons, and even the support of Apache armed helicopters. It seemed impossible for anyone to escape safely. But who knew that things would change so rapidly. A drone that appeared suddenly overturned the situation, wiping out US armed helicopters, main battle tanks, and armored vehicles, ughtering the soldiers on the ground as easily as chopping vegetables. The swift reversal of the situation was beyond anyone''s imagination.


    Corpsesy everywhere around Yan Fei, but he felt no sympathy for the fallen soldiers¡ª they were enemies, and it was a kill-or-be-killed situation. Seeing no further threat around him, he jumped up, and the drone descended just in time. He grabbed onto a weapon rack under the drone''s wing with one hand, and the drone took off quickly, heading into the dark night sky.


    Just as Yan Fei left the scene, an immense bolt of lightning struck in the sky, lighting up the entire Tokyo city, followed by a thunderous roar; it seemed as if the heavens had been shaken to their core. Then, a great wind rose, and atst, a torrential downpour began.

 Chapter 113 Chapter 84: Clouds Moving in All Directions

    113 Chapter 84: Clouds Moving in All Directions


    Just as Yan Fei''s Drone had taken off and left, the Japanese intelligence department in Tokyo received urate information, which was immediately passed on to Isao Inoue, who was in charge of handling unidentified drone incidents. However, before he could receive specific instructions from his superiors, Harrison, a representative of the US Forces, contacted him, revealing that the US military had also detected the mysterious Drone''s trail.


    Whether it was the US Forces or the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, both had suffered greatly at the hands of Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar. Upon learning that the mysterious Drone had appeared in Japan, both militaries intensified their search efforts in Japan''s airspace. Thus, as Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar brazenly attacked the allied forces of the two countries, their radar systems detected the Drone''s presence simultaneously.


    Although the Drone had lost the radars'' signal when it flew at a low altitude as it carried Yan Fei away, the US and Japanese militaries had set up numerous artificial observation points on high ground near Tokyo. Monitored by these lookout points, the Drone''s route of action was crystal clear to both parties. Therefore, after consulting with each other and obtaining instructions from their respective superiors, they decided to dispatch their nations'' fighter jets to intercept this mysteriousbat drone, vowing to shoot down the Drone that had brought them humiliation.


    Unaware that the US and Japanese militaries had already made detailedbat arrangements against the Drone, Yan Fei controlled the Drone Avatar to carry him away from the recent battlefield. When arge mountain appeared ahead, Yan Fei let go and jumped off the Drone''s weapon pylon, safelynding in the canopy of arge tree on the hillside, while the Drone continued towards the sea.


    Yan Fei caused a bloodbath in the Tokyo Suburbs tonight, killing hundreds of Japanese and American soldiers and destroying arge amount of their military equipment. Additionally, the Chinese female Special Agent executing an important mission had also wreaked havoc there, killing numerous police officers and soldiers. These two incidents had put Japan on high alert, treating them as though they were KB attacks; thus, the Japanese government had significantly increased inspections at major ports, airports, train stations, and the like, hoping to find the KB members responsible for the massacre.


    If Yan Fei were to sneak onto a cargo ship at the Port of Tokyo now, he would be taking a significant risk and could potentially be discovered by the Japanese authorities at any moment. So, he simply decided to hide in a deste mountain temporarily, waiting for the Japanese government to let down their guard before finding a way to escape the country. As for the USB drive entrusted by the female Special Agent, he no longer nned to hand it over at the Port of Tokyo; instead, he would take it back to China directly and find another channel to deliver it. As long as he made it back to China and sessfully handed the device over to the state, he would have fulfilled his promise to the female Special Agent.


    Although the Drone had been upgraded to Level 3 and could carry passengers, hanging underneath the Drone''s weapon pylon had been an extremely ufortable experience for Yan Fei. The current violent storm made it feel as though he was surfing in the seawater; the relentless attacks from the fierce winds and torrential rain were torturous, which is why he immediately jumped from the Drone after escaping the dangerous situation.


    Even without the obstacle of the violent storm, the Drone''s missileunching capabilities had been significantly impaired when Yan Fei hung beneath its weapon pylon. If Yan Fei had stubbornly chosen to hang below the Drone''s wings and fly back to China regardless of the risk, he would have faced tremendous difficulties. First, his physical body would suffer greatly, potentially losing half its condition after flying such a long distance. Second, if they encountered enemy interception on the return journey, the Drone''s inability to fire missiles normally would greatly reduce itsbat power. Furthermore, to ensure Yan Fei''s safety, the Drone could not fly at maximum speed, which would affect its maneuverability and might result in it being shot down by other Fighter Jets or Missiles.


    Due to these considerations, Yan Fei did not use this method to return to China but instead insisted on smuggling himself back through cargo ships or other means. Moreover, with the current heavy downpour and lightning in the sky, it would be utterly ludicrous if he were struck by lightning while flying.


    After releasing Yan Fei, the Drone prepared to return to the sea to dive and hide under the water. What Yan Fei did not expect was that the US Forces and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces had already fully grasped the Drone''s whereabouts. Once the Drone''s location was known, fighter jets from the nearby Tokyo airport and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, despite the violent storm and extreme weather conditions, were forced to take off and formed a squadron of fighter jets heading to surround Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª


    Meanwhile, on another battlefield, the n Leader of the Oogawa Family, Yohei Oogawa, was seething with anger. They had finally identified the murderer of Ryoko and located the killer''s hideout, mobilizing arge number of personnel to hunt down the killer, only to make a colossal blunder and chase the wrong target.


    After Hideo Oogawa pursued the female Special Agent, the two engaged in a couple of confrontations on the road. Although Hideo Oogawa had the upper hand in strength, the female Special Agent was extremely fast and very experienced. She kept fleeing and avoiding a life-or-death struggle with Hideo Oogawa, so he couldn''t find a good way to deal with her. If not for the assistance of the Oogawa Family members who helped intercept and monitor her, Hideo Oogawa would have lost her long ago.


    The female Special Agent was also worried about the safety of the USB drive left with Yan Fei. Thus, she led the Oogawa Family members far away to prevent them from finding Yan Fei and the USB drive.


    The reason the Oogawa Family could find Yan Fei''s residence was thanks to Takashi Hasegawa, one of the Four Major Famous Detectives. It was thanks to Hasegawa''s exceptional deductive skills in case reasoning that the Oogawa Family could trace Yan Fei through the slightest clues.


    Despite facing a myriad of chaotic information, Hasegawa still managed to find decisive evidence at the scene of Ryoko Oogawa''s room, which had been burnt by Yan Fei. They discovered the video of Yan Fei getting out of a Taxi from a surveince camera at a remote establishment nearby. With a quickparison of body types, Hasegawa immediately identified the person who got out of the Taxi as a suspect. However, they did not realize that Yan Fei in the surveince footage had altered his appearance and when they searched for that face in Japan''s System, they found nothing at all.


    When Hasegawa Takashi couldn''t find any clues within the national security system, he continued his investigation. Relying on the video, he found the taxi driver who had driven Yan Fei. The driver had received arge tip from Yan Fei and was deeply impressed by him, so Hasegawa quickly discovered where Yan Fei had boarded the car¡ªthe nightclub where Jo Oogawa had once stayed.


    Then with the help of the nightclub''s surveince camera at the entrance, Hasegawa found the direction of the street from which Yan Fei hade to the club and then found even more useful information based on the direction of the street Yan Fei came through. In the end, Hasegawa Takashi had continuously seen through several tracking traps set by Yan Fei and actually found Yan Fei''s real residence.


    Considering issues of personal privacy, Japan isn''t like China, where surveince cameras are everywhere in public ces. Only somerge squares and malls have surveince cameras, and of course, some private small stores also install them. But the images from these cameras aren''t connected, so no one can reconstruct a person''splete movement route of more than 10 kilometers from street surveince videos in Japan. In this respect, one has to admire Hasegawa Takashi, who has the title of the Famous Detective. He was able to find the real location of the criminal suspect in the Tokyo downtown area with a poption of twenty million, based on some incoherent videos, showcasing his terrifying innate reasoning ability. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    After determining the approximate location of the murderer''s residence, the Oogawa Family began to send out personnel to prepare for the arrest. For the sess of this arrest operation, the Oogawa Family not only sent out the family''s experts but even persuaded the Metropolitan Police Department and the Self-Defense Forces to jointly deploy personnel. They thought the capture would be easy, not knowing that a Chinese special agent was also hiding in the area. The Chinese special agent, already particrly sensitive, thought he had been exposed when he noticed the surrounding Japanese police, and immediately started to break out. The Oogawa Family thought that the criminal suspect had finally appeared, and under a double misunderstanding, they began to sh. But Yan Fei, the actual target of the capture operation, inexplicably avoided this disaster.


    However, nothing in this world is absolute. Although the female special agent led away the Oogawa Family''s experts and blocked one disaster for Yan Fei, she attracted the Japanese and US Allied Forces who were pursuing her. This army had enhanced strength, and if Yan Fei didn''t have his Drone Avatar, he would have been unable to escape this cmity. At this point, one can''t help saying that destiny is fickle; no one knows what will happen in the next second.


    Hasegawa Takashi was also present at the capture scene of Yan Fei, but despite his astonishing reasoning ability, he is just an ordinary person and couldn''t keep up with the pace of Hideo Oogawa and the female special agent. By the time he caught up, both had left the scene. However, in the videos that followed, Hasegawa Takashi increasingly felt something was off. In his deduction, the murder suspect was a male, at least 178 cm tall, weighing 80 kilograms, but the suspect they were tracking was not only short but also slender, clearly a woman. He had seen the appearance of the person who killed Ryoko Oogawa¡ªit was definitely a rugged male and did not match the person they were now chasing.

    At first, Hasegawa Takashi thought he had made an error in his deduction, but after going over his reasoning from the beginning, he became even more certain that his previous deductions were correct. He immediately realized they might have fallen for a decoy tactic used by the murderer.


    Meanwhile, Hideo Oogawa was pursuing the female special agent into the densely popted areas of Tokyo city. The special agent rapidly changed her clothes in a hidden spot as soon as she entered the crowded area, thus transforming into a different person, and then vanished in front of Hideo Oogawa, leaving him seething with rage.
