I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 167: [148] Pillage! A New Target for Devouring (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions)_1

After leaving the training ground, Pei Jinye returned to his room to begin refining the silver-white small sword.

He glanced at his Vitality attributes.

[Vitality Value]: 13-20.6;

Damn!

Pei Jinye cursed under his breath.

The consumption for refining this little sword was simply too great.

Luckily the upper limit hadn’t decreased.

Otherwise, Pei Jinye would have felt he was at a major loss.

An hour later.

Pei Jinye finished refining, exhaustedly collapsed on the bed, looking at the silver-white small sword in his hand, his eyes deep with emotion, “Brother, I’ve fed you my blood for two days now, as a sword, you should be content.”

He bitterly smiled and took out one of the only two remaining Blood Spirit Fruits from his stash, chewing it voraciously.

In the last two days, he had taken down some big figures.

Yang Qingdan hailed from a distinguished background.

In comparison, the strong ones from Da Peng City were indeed earthy.

Her money… Pei Jinye couldn’t and shouldn’t touch it, the cash he carried wasn’t even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

The only valuable treasure was the Different Dimensional Space that had trapped him before.

It was a valuable Space Artifact.

Too bad it was completely damaged under the terrifying destructive power of the Yuanli Button, which really hurt Pei Jinye.

As for Xie Zuxin, he claimed to be a senior group leader of the Da Peng City Investigation Team… but it turned out he was henpecked, handing over his salary card to his wife and spending the money from the supplementary card on other women outside.

“Women…”

Pei Jinye’s gaze flickered for a moment.

He immediately got up and left the dormitory.

With the door locked, he discreetly left the Investigation Team.

He had left in a hurry the previous night and had forgotten that Xie Zuxin kept the bribed treasures hidden in the house of his mistress.

“Almost missed out!”

One o’clock in the afternoon.

Overcast.

The rain from last night had stopped, and although the accumulated water on the ground had almost evaporated, the gloomy sky made the wind blowing in the face rather piercing.

In a middle to high-end residential area in the city center.

A young woman with big wavy hair stepped out of the car, clinging to a middle-aged man’s arm, and as soon as the two emerged from the elevator, they were entwined with each other.

“Wait a moment…”

The young woman struggled to open the door to the apartment, and then immediately pulled the middle-aged man inside.

The man skillfully used his shoe to hook the door and closed it directly.

Clothes were being tossed into the air…

The clothes got smaller and smaller, and the atmosphere grew more and more intense.

Just as the bedroom door closed.

The curtain on the living room balcony fluttered slightly, and a mysterious person shrouded in black garments revealed a strange smile.

“Living in Xie Zuxin’s house, but bringing another man back for a good time… Old Xie’s head isn’t under the sky, but it must be like the vast Hulun Buir grasslands.”

He gently lifted a white brick on the balcony wall, revealing a hidden niche in which rested a small wooden box.

The mysterious person didn’t open the wooden box.

Because he knew what was inside.

Ignoring the intermittent sounds from the room, after restoring everything as it was, the mysterious person stealthily departed.

The perspiring man suddenly paused, seeming to hear the sound of the room door closing.

But before he could think it through, he was pulled back down by a hand around his neck and lost all rational thought on the spot.

After leaving Xie Zuxin’s “Golden House,” Pei Jinye didn’t immediately go home but entered a shopping mall, and after changing his appearance and clothes three times, even if he had been under surveillance earlier, even Xing Tian watching him at this moment would not be able to determine which person was truly him.

Furthermore.

When he visited Xie Zuxin’s house, he had used the appearance of Gu Shaoshang.

No matter how much they investigated, it would never lead back to him, Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye arrived home looking haggard.

The things Xie Zuxin had hidden in the Golden House weren’t much, but there were quite a few Golden Leaves, which could be exchanged for a decent amount of money.

It was just a pity that the guy hadn’t hidden any treasures in his mistress’s place.

But seeing that woman’s attitude, Xie Zuxin probably didn’t dare to leave any either.

Looking at the handful of Golden Leaves in his hand.

There must be at least ten kilograms.

Based on the current market price… through the black market, it would be worth around three to four million.

“I can buy some Blood Spirit Fruits, and I can also stock up on some Blue Potions for restoring spiritual power; it solves some pressing problems.”

Just as he was contemplating.

A phone call came in from Father Pei.

“Jinye…”

Father Pei seemed to have something difficult to say.

Pei Jinye replied cheerfully, “Dad, just go ahead and say whatever it is.”

Father Pei sighed, “I’ve just found out about Old Jin’s splendid deed… I saw Sun San taking people to throw him out; will this affect you in any way?”

Father Pei’s first thought wasn’t his old classmate but rather his concern for him… Frankly, Pei Jinye was surprised but not too surprised.

To be able to let him awaken his powers, selling their house had already shown how much he meant to his parents.

“Don’t worry, Dad.”

After hanging up the phone.

Pei Jinye fell into deep thought.

From the beginning, his goal had been to become stronger.

The benefits of getting stronger were obvious.

Whether in the open or behind the scenes, it would allow him to easily solve many troubles.

But at the end of the day…

One person’s strength is still too weak.

He needed to build a solid foundation for himself.

The situation with the spectacled man… that night’s operation didn’t go badly, but it still wasn’t enough.

From Pei Jinye’s current perspective, if Da Peng City was a bottle, then those three men had only filled a third of it, and they were far from the true loyalists he wanted.

That’s why Pei Jinye didn’t bother to make contact.

Once they see more of the outside world, and the seeds in their hearts slowly sprout, we can worry about the future when it comes.

“Power and influence, huh…”

Pei Jinye’s fingers drummed on the table.

He had entered the Investigation Team through school recommendation and was slightly different from the official members because the contract between him and the Investigation Team might end this coming August.

Moreover, his case was not the first of its kind.

This practice of school recommendations had been going on for many years.

After numerous reforms, up until now, the identity issue of these school-recommended students had essentially been resolved, because within the Investigation Team, Pei Jinye had almost the same status as the regular members, enjoying the same benefits.

However, promotion was out of the question.

“Although I can’t be promoted, at least until next August, I can act in the capacity of the Investigation Team’s law enforcement. During this period, I want to establish my own ‘Empire’… An empire that others won’t dare to provoke easily!”

Pei Jinye was ultimately going to leave here.

Even if he didn’t leave Central State, Da Peng City was obviously not going to be his final stop.

“Da Peng is too small…”

Pei Jinye smoothed his frown.

Sun San sent a message: “Brother Pei, it’s been dealt with smoothly.”

Pei Jinye replied with a single word: “Good.”

A moment passed.

He squinted his eyes.

The vibration from the secret cellphone came through.

Silver Art: [Is it convenient to meet? There’s a mission from above.]

Inside the abandoned factory.

Pei Jinye, draped in a black coat and wearing a Ghost Face Mask.

Silver Art sat on the edge of the second floor, swinging his legs, and the moment he saw Pei Jinye, he jumped down from the second floor and landed steadily.

“Demon King.”

“What’s up?” Pei Jinye looked around: “Just you alone?”

“Hong Luo said she needed to catch up on sleep, so she didn’t come.”

“What mission…”

“Do you know about Starfire Army?”

When Pei Jinye heard this, he looked over: “Starfire Army?”

Silver Art’s gaze was innocent, and he answered every question: “Similar to us, they are also a group wanted by the Federation… However, they generally operate in the Western Continent and have suddenly appeared in Da Peng City, making the higher-ups quite uneasy.”

“Uneasy?” Pei Jinye found Silver Art’s choice of words quite interesting.

Silver Art tilted his head and looked over: “That’s what Hong Luo said.”

Pei Jinye didn’t show any reaction.

After thinking it over for a while, Silver Art said: “The higher-ups mean that we should track them down as soon as possible and try to find out their purpose for coming here…”

“What do you think?” Pei Jinye suddenly asked.

“Me?” Silver Art was startled, responding matter-of-factly: “Do I need to have an opinion?”

Pei Jinye’s gaze went deep.

He decisively averted his eyes.

“You and Hong Luo go search for clues nearby first; collect any information and report back to me.”

“You’re leaving now?” Silver Art saw Pei Jinye turning to leave and suddenly spoke up.

Pei Jinye stopped, raising an eyebrow: “Or else?”

“I have so much I want to tell you…”

Pei Jinye glanced at the time: “Then let’s talk for three minutes.”

Silver Art immediately brightened up: “That day, Lou Hai luckily encountered Black Shark and me, or we might have died under that explosion… At that time, we lost contact with you and tried to find you, but Black Shark thought there might be something wrong with you.”

“?” Pei Jinye immediately showed a big question mark, “What else did he say?”

“He said you deliberately refused to carry out the mission… He also said that the Federation people might have been called by you… However, neither I nor the Elder agreed with him. It was the Elder who later caught the spy and cleared your name… A few days later, we got news that the Demon King was killed by Xu Tian from Judgement Place…” Silver Art looked up: “I knew you wouldn’t die.”

Pei Jinye restrained his gaze: “How long have you guys been in Da Peng City?”

“About a week?”

Pei Jinye did some quick calculations; that was before he took care of Wu Feng.

In other words.

It was before he and Brother Bi first participated in a major mission that the Old Gods Association’s people had already arrived.

“So your current base is…”

“Black Shark reverted to his old trade, the Trend Era Bar on West Street is now our base. The Elder wanted him to return, but he volunteered to stay to find out how exactly Heavenly Calculation and the others died in the first place?”

“Weren’t they killed by Federation people?” Pei Jinye asked calmly.

Silver Art replied, not understanding: “Black Shark says Heavenly Calculation couldn’t possibly have been exposed, because even he doesn’t know Heavenly Calculation’s location… But I think he’s being too absolute. The people here in Da Peng have a complete handle on our actions; how could they allow Heavenly Calculation to remain outside… Demon King, don’t you agree?”

“That’s what I think too.”

Pei Jinye turned away.

By the time he parted ways with Silver Art,

he let out a sigh.

“Black Shark… I remember your Transcendent ability is the space barrier, right?”

Under the dust clouds.

Pei Jinye’s figure quickly vanished on the spot.

Soon after.

Night fell.

Trend Era Bar.

A plainly dressed office worker walked into the bar, ordered a drink, and sat in the corner, surveying the surroundings.

After a moment,

the person frowned and lowered his head.

“He didn’t show up?”

At half-past eleven at night,

Black Shark still hadn’t appeared in the bar, Pei Jinye retracted his gaze.

“The old guy is very cautious now.”

He took out his phone.

Zhou Ye sent a message.

[Urgent situation, come to the base immediately! The female fugitive from Starfire Army has escaped!!!]

Pei Jinye slightly raised his eyebrows.

He put away his phone.

And walked out of the bar.

Swiftly blending into the night.
