Bronze Association corridor.
Pei Jinye obtained another Attribute Light Group.
He swiped to bring up the attribute panel.
[Skills]: Basic Breathing Method (Minor 98.6%); Shock (Minor 5.9%); Blood Guiding Art (Minor 0.2%); Dream Hypnosis (Minor 4.5%); King Kong Indestructible (Beginner 1.1%); Psychic·Locking Technique (Beginner 0.3%); Solidifying Yuan Technique (Beginner 0.3%);
[Psychic Power]: 5.4-5.4;
Pei Jinye pondered for a moment.
Increasing psychic power was too slow.
Although his physical quality seemed decent now, when it came to actual combat, he still relied on abilities of the Psychic Class.
To enter dreams and annihilate, simple and direct.
Therefore, enhancing psychic power was of the utmost importance.
There was still more than ten days until the elite assessment.
That also meant he had at least five more opportunities to obtain Attribute Light Groups.
To raise all Techniques to a minor level… there was still hope.
The next second.
The Solidifying Yuan Technique column updated.
A massive influx of memories from practicing the “Solid Yuan Technique” surged forth, and his understanding of psychic power began to deepen rapidly.
[Name]: Pei Jinye;
[Extraordinary Genes]: Psychic·Shadow Spear (1/3), Body·Diamond (1/3), Strength Series Fragments (1/3) (Extraordinary Genes available to fuse: 0);
[Extraordinary Abilities]: Blood Spear; Retrogression; Golden Armor;
[Vitality Value]: 6.6-6.7;
[Stamina]: 10.6-11.2 (Average value for a normal person: 1);
[Psychic Power]: 5.4-5.4;
[Skills]: Basic Breathing Method (Minor 98.6%); Shock (Minor 5.9%); Dream Hypnosis (Minor 4.5%); Solidifying Yuan Technique (Minor 0.3%); Blood Guiding Art (Minor 0.2%); Appraisal Technique (Beginner 3%); King Kong Indestructible (Beginner 1.1%); Psychic·Locking Technique (Beginner 0.3%);
Pei Jinye was quite satisfied.
However, when he looked at the Extraordinary Genes column, he hesitated for a moment.
“Three fragments of Extraordinary Genes are needed to synthesize one Extraordinary Gene, I wonder if the Strength System’s Extraordinary Gene will eventually be able to merge smoothly into Body·Diamond… and I do not know what unexpected changes it might bring after the fusion…”
Pei Jinye composed himself.
He had agreed to meet Tang Huoyang in the evening, and as it was only past two in the afternoon, he found a quiet spot by himself and began practicing the Solidifying Yuan Technique.
This morning, he had discussed the issue of limits with Ice Sister by the roadside.
Ice Sister fell silent for a long time, “Limits are determined by one’s talent, and it’s very difficult to increase them significantly. Some people improve their cultivation techniques and break through a level to increase their Vitality Value by one to two points, but others, at their limit, only increase by 0.2 points, which is determined by talent. Moreover, if a person does not progress further in cultivation by middle age, their Vitality will start to decline…”
“So you’re saying it’s very difficult to improve one’s limits?”
“Very difficult… Not everyone is a genius; for ordinary people, just beginning might take a lifetime.”
Inside the pavilion, the wild grass bowed under the gentle breeze.
The evening sun smeared across the horizon.
In this desolate pavilion, only Pei Jinye was present, earnestly cultivating.
Minor level Solidifying Yuan Technique was indeed much more powerful than the Beginner level!
Pei Jinye’s session of cultivation ended.
In the blink of an eye, more than two hours passed.
Pei Jinye remained motionless in meditation, his body starting to stiffen.
But the results were very good.
His current limit of psychic power had increased by a whole point!
[Psychic Power]: 5.9-6.4;
“I’m just suddenly a bit hungry.”
Pei Jinye stood up and went to a small diner outside, specifically asking for a dish of Black Blood Beast Meat to be stir-fried for him.
The restaurant, knowing he came from the deep alleys of the Bronze Association, did not dare to neglect him; moreover, Pei Jinye had been spending generously these past couple of days, and the owner couple was only too happy to see him frequent their place more often.
A plate of Black Blood Beast Meat went down his stomach.
Vitality restored.
The hunger in his stomach finally subsided a bit.
“Buzz, buzz!”
The mobile phone on the table vibrated.
After Pei Jinye had downed the medicinal soup in the bowl, he picked up the phone.
He sent Tang Huoyang a location.
In less than three minutes,
Tang Huoyang found his way there and, seeing the stack of plates piled on the table, exclaimed in astonishment, “Damn, big brother, are you okay? Why did you eat so much?”
Pei Jinye didn’t look up, “Do you want a serving?”
Tang Huoyang opened his mouth, smiled bitterly, and shook his head, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry. This… How much did you eat?”
Pei Jinye finished everything on the table, let out a loud, satisfied burp, then stood up to settle the bill.
The meal cost nearly four hundred.
He guessed it was because he had practiced a new technique, but as long as it was beneficial for his body, Pei Jinye didn’t refuse.
In the evening,
Tang Huoyang, panting heavily, waved his hand and said, “I can’t do it anymore, I’m beat. Are you some kind of perpetual motion machine? Don’t you ever get tired?”
Pei Jinye shook his numb arms, “Your talent is too solid.”
Tang Huoyang laughed at himself, “That’s why everyone says I was born to be a punching bag.”
He lay on the ground and then shook his leg to signal Pei Jinye to look over, “You free tomorrow at noon?”
“What’s up?” Pei Jinye thought for a moment, “I shouldn’t have anything on.”
Tang Huoyang said, “It’s my birthday tomorrow, noon at 12 o’clock, Swan Lake Hotel Room 307. It’s just my friends, no one else. Are you coming?”
Pei Jinye was taken aback, “Your birthday? What do you want?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Huoyang chuckled, “I appreciate the thought; your presence will be enough.”
“That’s not acceptable. Tell me if there’s something you want,” Pei Jinye insisted.
Tang Huoyang suddenly winked, “How about you bring me a little sister?”
Pei Jinye responded with a single finger.
Tang Huoyang laughed out loud.
After the banter ended,
The two sparred for another half hour.
A phone call came in.
Tang Huoyang nodded and said a few words, then turned to Pei Jinye, “Old Pei, a friend of mine just got dumped and is now crying about jumping off a building. I need to go and comfort her.”
“Do you need me to come with you?” Pei Jinye was taken aback.
Tang Huoyang waved it off, “No worries. Just make sure you’re there tomorrow. I’ll be waiting for you at noon.”
“Don’t worry,”
After Tang Huoyang left, Pei Jinye continued his training at the martial arts ground.
Around 8:20 that night, another mobile phone vibrated.
Pei Jinye opened his eyes.
He then discreetly checked the message.
Silver Art: “Meet at the usual place tonight at 9.”
Pei Jinye deleted the message, “Another mission.”
Inside the secret room of the Red Rose Bar,
Only Black Shark and Silver Art were present that night.
“Red Rose and the others are busy with other missions. Tonight’s task is urgent. Superiors have ordered us to extract a guest at the Harbor City Silver Grid by ten tonight, code-named Number series…”
Black Shark solemnly issued the task.
Silver Art propped up his chin, daydreaming.
Pei Jinye maintained an expression of calm, indifference, and an aura that strangers should keep away.
Black Shark sighed… his heart felt weary.
“What I need to remind you of is that this guest is actually our internal agent planted within the Federation, but his cover may have been blown, leading him to signal for emergency extraction… Do not rule out the use of force. So, Silver Art, you’ll coordinate with Black Shark for a swift and decisive action. Additionally, Heavenly Calculation has already planned your escape route.”
Pei Jinye suddenly spoke in a voice altered by a voice changer, “Can we be sure the person hasn’t defected to the Federation? I need to know the risk level of this mission.”
Black Shark fell silent for a moment, “Because of the abrupt nature of the incident, we don’t have complete details about the person… However, the headquarters has rated the risk as minor. What I know is that the person was involved in our core plans, making defection highly unlikely… If defection occurs, you are authorized to eliminate them.”
“But let me remind you, if you do eliminate them, you will then go to the headquarters for an inspection and write a detailed report explaining your reasons because the individual is a participant in the core plan, and thus, of significant importance. I hope you can understand that.”
