 Chapter 1 - 1 Drone Avatar

    Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Drone Avatar


    @@novelbin@@


    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.


    @@novelbin@@


    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 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?¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    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 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.


    @@novelbin@@


    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 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?¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    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.


    @@novelbin@@


    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 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.


    @@novelbin@@


    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 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!¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    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 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.


    @@novelbin@@


    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.

    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.¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    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 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.


    @@novelbin@@


    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.

    ¡°`


    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.¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    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.


    @@novelbin@@


    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.@@novelbin@@

 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.


    @@novelbin@@


    Upon entering the virtual control screen of the drone, Yan Fei discovered the following data disyed:


    Drone Avatar (Level 3)

 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.


    @@novelbin@@


    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 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.


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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.

 Chapter 45 Chapter 37 Terrifying Combat Power_2

    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.


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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.

    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.


    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 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." @@novelbin@@


    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.


    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 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. @@novelbin@@


    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.

    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.


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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 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.


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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.

    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. @@novelbin@@


    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.


    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.


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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.

    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.


    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? @@novelbin@@


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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?


    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 64 Chapter 49 Mutual Calculations_2

    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.


    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."

 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.

    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?


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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.

    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."

    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!" @@novelbin@@


    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?"


    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." @@novelbin@@


    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 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.


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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! Thanks to your support, this book has received Pc-side Sci-Fi Strong Push rmendations and App Sci-Fi Strong Push rmendations this week. As always, if you like this book, regardless of which website you''ve encountered it on, please doe and collect it and rmend it on the Starting Point Chinese website Pc-side, thank you!

 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 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.


    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..." @@novelbin@@


    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.


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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 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. @@novelbin@@


    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!"

 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. @@novelbin@@


    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.


    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 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." @@novelbin@@


    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.


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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.


    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.

 Chapter 90 Chapter 70: A Mysterious Peak Emerges

    90 Chapter 70: A Mysterious Peak Emerges


    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?"


    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.

 Chapter 92 Chapter 71 Extremely Dangerous

    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.


    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?" @@novelbin@@


    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 94 Chapter 71 Extremely Dangerous

    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?" @@novelbin@@


    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.

 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.


    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." @@novelbin@@


    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 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. @@novelbin@@


    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.


    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.

 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!" @@novelbin@@


    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?"


    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." @@novelbin@@


    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 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.


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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 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." @@novelbin@@


    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.


    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." @@novelbin@@


    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.


    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."

 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?" @@novelbin@@


    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.


    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.


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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. @@novelbin@@


    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.


    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 115 Chapter 86 Aerial Surprise Attack

    115 Chapter 86 Aerial Surprise Attack


    ```


    The fighter squadron pursuing from behind realized that the Drone had entered the Tokyo Suburbs and was using high-rise buildings to block the Missiles. They immediately became hesitant to recklessly fire more Missiles, fearing the Drone could repeat its previous tactics and identally harm the residents below. Without the threat of Missiles, the Drone swiftly flew into Tokyo Downtown.


    Just as the Drone entered Tokyo Downtown, two streams of fire suddenly shot out from a hidden street, aiming at the Drone in the sky. It turned out that an Anti-aircraft artillery position in Tokyo Downtown had opened fire,unching an attack with k guns at the Drone. Fortunately, the Drone Quantum Radar had detected unusual activity on the ground in advance, allowing Yan Fei to be alert and evade in time; otherwise, the Drone would have been shot down by the air defense fire.


    Although the Drone had been flying at high speed, it suddenly came to a halt and hovered in mid-air, showcasing incredible maneuvering capabilities that left the following fighter pilots astonished. Then they saw the Drone pivot, its Vulcan Gun activated, firing explosive bullets towards the air defense position on the ground. They watched as a series of explosions sted the position into a fiery hell, which the rain promptly extinguished. Although the fire was put out, the air defense position waspletely destroyed by the Drone.


    Yan Fei knew that tonight he would face an unprecedented battle; he unlocked all of the Drone''s capabilities without holding back, using all of its abilities without hesitation, except for its capability to go underwater. The ground air defense position was a significant nuisance¡ªif it wasn''t eliminated, it would cause considerable trouble for Yan Fei''s subsequent actions. That''s why he demonstrated the Drone''s rapid-stop and hovering ability, to take out the air defense position.


    After the Drone took care of the air defense position, it flew towards the Tokyo city center again. The Japan Self-Defense Forces''mander immediately received a call from the Prime Minister''s Office, ordering them to do whatever it takes to shoot down the Drone. However, they were strictly forbidden from causing damage to the buildings in Tokyo Downtown or from inciting panic among the public.


    The Self-Defense Forcesmander was extremely vexed; despite many years of training and exercises, he had never encountered such a dilemma. Primarily because the Drone Avatar''s capabilities were so eerie, creating pressure beyond the scope of their regr exercise scenarios. At the moment, they could note up with any countermeasures. However, they had toply with the Prime Minister''s orders, so he contacted the Self-Defense Forces pilots, instructing them to enter the Tokyo skies, engage in a dogfight with the Drone, and take it down with the On-board Naval Gun, with orders not to fire Missiles. As for the US Forces, someone naturally was negotiating with them, though it was unclear whether they would heed these Japanese.


    Yan Fei sneered inside. He roughly understood why the fighter jets didn''t continue tounch Missiles at him. However, he was able to fire Missiles himself. As for causing harm to innocent civilians below, all he could say was sorry; after all, he was facing a life-and-death crisis. But just as he was about tounch a Missile Attack on the ground targets to force his adversaries into a desperate struggle, he suddenly spotted something in the terrain below, sparking an idea. The Drone headed towards one of the fighter jets that was blocking its path.


    15:20


    As the Drone flew quickly, its Quantum Radar detected the chasing squadron of fighter jets also entering Tokyo Downtown. When trying to use the city''s tall buildings to exhaust the opponent''s Missiles, it realized that the enemy wasn''t firing any Missiles. The nes started to spread out in all directions, blocking the Drone''s flight path from every angle.


    Yan Fei sneered inside. He roughly understood why the fighter jets didn''t continue tounch Missiles at him. However, he was able to fire Missiles himself. As for causing harm to innocent civilians below, all he could say was sorry; after all, he was facing a life-and-death crisis. But just as he was about tounch a Missile Attack on the ground targets to force his adversaries into a desperate struggle, he suddenly spotted something in the terrain below, sparking an idea. The Drone headed towards one of the fighter jets that was blocking its path.


    However, as the Drone flew past a high-rise, it failed to notice a tall antenna on the roof. The Drone Body struck the antenna, snapping it in two. Debris flew chaotically, and the Drone staggered, its nose pointing downward as it spiraled out of control at high speed towards the ground below the building.


    The nearby fighter pilots were all stunned, never expecting the troublesome Drone to make such a rookie mistake by hitting an aerial antenna. But given the raging storm, an error in operation was understandable, especially for a Drone. They rejoiced in their hearts, quickly flew over to check on the Drone, and saw that it had smashed open arge hole at the entrance to an Underground tunnel, from which thick ck smoke poured out. The fierce winds were unable to disperse the dense smoke.


    Because it was nighttime and the torrential rain and ck smoke obstructed their vision, the pilots couldn''t see the wreckage of the Drone that had crashed. However,mon sense suggested that a fall from such a height meant the Drone was beyond saving.


    Thus, all the fighter pilots breathed a sigh of relief. Facing that Drone, they had felt a long-missed pressure, constantly under the test of life and death. Now, seeing the Drone crash by its own mistake, they finally rxed.


    Two US Forces F-15 Fighter Jets slowed down and began to circle above the tunnel entrance, while other fighters patrolled the nearby airspace. Soon, two US military Helicopters bravely flew through the rain to the tunnel. They descended above the tunnel, preparing to inspect the crash of the Drone.


    Just then, two mes burst forth from the depths below, and two Missiles shot up with the speed of lightning, striking the two Electronic Warfare aircraft, the Growlers in the sky. While the Growlers had advanced Electronic Warfare capabilities, they had limited airbat abilities and had been circling the outskirts of the battlefield, ying a supporting role. Unexpectedly, they became the targets of an attack.


    With little distance between the Growlers and the iing Missiles, the aircraft didn''t have time to react and were hit by the Missiles. Then, two fireballs erupted in the sky, followed by their Wreckage falling down, crashing through residential houses and leaving two gaping holes. @@novelbin@@


    ```


    The other fighter jets were shocked and hurriedly scanned their surroundings, only to see a jet sh out from the streets below, speeding towards them. It was Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar.


    Yan Fei had noticed that there was an underground tunnel beneath the building. His real body quickly checked the Tokyo map stored in the Auxiliary Brain and found that the tunnel was long, stretching all the way to the river five kilometers away. He came up with a n, pretending to identally strike the rooftop antenna. Just as the Drone was about to hit the antenna, its Naval Gun fired, destroying the upper part of the antenna, and then it began to spin and fall.


    Because the Drone fired at such a close range, and with the storm providing cover, this subtle move went unnoticed. None of the other fighters imagined that such an incredible maneuver could be performed at such proximity. After all, no human could react like that. If it weren''t for the precise assistance of the Auxiliary Brain, even Yan Fei would not dare to carry out such a dangerous operation.


    The Drone pretended to crash into the antenna, copsing the tunnel entrance with its Naval Gun as it fell, then switched to incendiary rounds and ignited the entrance. Although the mes were quickly extinguished by the heavy rain, ck smoke arose, leading everyone to believe that the Drone had crashed. Meanwhile, Yan Fei controlled the Drone to fly into the underground tunnel and headed towards the exit.


    The underground tunnel was very narrow, too tight for normal airnes to fly through. Yet, with the precise control of the Auxiliary Brain, and the Drone''s vertical takeoff and hovering capability, Yan Fei managed to swiftly fly the Drone through the tunnel. Cars driving in the tunnel were startled by the massive Drone flying overhead, some even prepared to call the police.


    A distance of five kilometers might seem long to ordinary people, but with the Drone''s flight speed, it was only a momentarypse. The Drone quickly emerged from the tunnel by the distant riverbank. As soon as it exited the tunnel, it lowered its flight altitude, almost skimming the ground as it stealthily approached the patrolling fighter jets in the sky.


    Since the Drone was very cautious and also utilized buildings and other structures for cover, and the fighters were focused on the tunnel entrance and had let down their guard, it went undetected. Like this, the Drone silently neared the fighter jets above.


    Scanned by the Quantum Radar and calcted by the Auxiliary Brain, Yan Fei had aplete grasp of all positions and future flight paths of the fighter jets in the sky. And when the optimal attacking position came, the Drone immediately fired two Air-to-Air Missiles. From such close range and with the element of surprise on its side, two of the roaring jets were hit and went down without any chance to react.


    This was Yan Fei''s first time downing enemy fighter jets tonight, as the F-15s and Roarers were too fast and too far from Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar, making them previously untouchable. However, after carefully setting his trap and calctions, he took out two Roarers at once, delivering a heavy blow to the enemy.


    Just after firing the Air-to-Air Missiles at the Roarers, while the missiles were still flying towards their targets guided by the Quantum Radar, the Drone itself quickly sped off in another direction. The Auxiliary Brain pushed the Drone''s maneuverability to the limit, and in just one second, it elerated to a speed of 1000 kilometers/hour. Before the other jets could react, it had again drawn near two of the Japanese F-15J Fighter Jets,unching four missiles at them, cutting off all their escape routes.


    By the time the two Roarers were hit by the missiles, the targeted F-15J Fighter Jets also spotted the iing missiles. They were taken aback, desperately tried to dodge and released Decoy res, but all their evasive maneuvers and res were futile against the Quantum Radar. Simply put, four missiles struck the two F-15J Fighter Jets, blowing them up in the sky. Fortunately, the pilots chose to eject at thest moment and didn''t perish with their aircraft.


    From the Drone''s surprise ground attack to its use of six Air-to-Air Missiles to take down four fighter jets, it took just five seconds. In such a brief timespan, the other fighter jets had just begun to recover from their astonishment. Terrified, they started to fly away at full speed. But the two F-15 jets circling above the tunnel weren''t so lucky. They were already hovering at slower speeds andcked the Drone''s fearsome maneuverability to quickly reach maximum speed. Thus, when the Drone charged at them, firing four missiles, they were locked by the missiles and blown up in mid-air. Following that, the Drone dove and used its Naval Gun to take out two US Forces'' military helicopters.


    From sneaking into the underground tunnel to suddenly taking out six fighter jets and two military helicopters, the Drone demonstrated its terrifying strength. With that buffer of time, the other fighters finally managed to put a safe distance between themselves and the Drone, avoiding its missile attacks as they withdrew to safety.

 Chapter 116 Chapter 87: Running Out of Ammunition and Food

    116 Chapter 87: Running Out of Ammunition and Food


    Seeing the other fighter jets escape the attack range of his missile, Yan Fei felt somewhat regretful. Because the drone was too slow and the air-to-air missiles couldn''t catch up to the F-15 fighters, he could only ambush them in stealthy attacks in order to shoot them down. However, the ambush didn''t buy him much time; once discovered by other jets, the F-15s became vignt and kept their distance, rendering the drone powerless against them.


    The US-Japan Joint Forces that previously tried to attack and capture Yan Fei''s physical body had his drone avatar fire two missiles. Along with the six fighter jets shot down just now, which involved firing ten missiles, the drone hadunched a total of twelve missiles tonight, leaving only four left. There were still six enemy jets, all formidable F-15 and F-15J fighters, including two F-35 stealth fighters that had yet to reveal themselves. @@novelbin@@


    Yan Fei only had one chance to ambush. If he couldn''t shoot down all the jets in one go, he wouldn''t be able to repeat the trick. He calcted the remaining ammunition and realized he could no longer annihte the six enemy fighter jets. Without hesitation, he decided to temporarily retreat, first hiding himself and considering his ammunition replenishmentter. Thus, the drone turned and flew towards the Tokyo suburbs, and at the moment it left downtown Tokyo, two F-35s hovering at an altitude of ten thousand meters followed the drone.


    These two F-35s werepletely unaware that they had been exposed and kept monitoring the drone at an altitude of ten thousand meters. Below in Tokyo city, wild winds and storms raged with thunder and lightning, but at ten thousand meters, it was calm and serene, like another worldpared to below.


    Under the cover of the night''s full firepower, Yan Fei had showcased the drone''s terrifyingbat power, unlocking many of the drone''s special abilities and exhibiting high-tech content. The US and Japanese military operation centers behind the lines quickly noticed the drone''s special features and issued new orders: no longer insisting on shooting it down but instead attempting to capture the drone and attain the high-tech it contained.


    So the remaining six fighter jets, while initially in disarray, still followed the drone from a distance after receiving the new orders. They wanted to see where its base was or wait until it was forced to make an emergencynding due to energy depletion before capturing it. The other fighter jets were extremely cautious, fearing a stealth attack from the drone¡ªthe cautionary tale was too recent. The two F-35s, confident in their stealth capabilities, didn''t regard the drone as a threat but stealthily followed it from high altitude, waiting for an opportunity to ambush.


    Yan Fei had long discovered the stealth F-35s in the sky, but he pretended not to notice he was being tracked, flying leisurely. After all, the F-35 was fast and beyond his attack range; any unusual move could scare away the F-35, which would be bad. The drone continued to fly and, after leaving the Tokyo downtown area by 20 kilometers, another thunderp resounded in the sky. Like a signal, one of the F-35s suddenly elerated into a nosedive, drawing closer to the drone. The hidden ammunition depot opened, ready tounch two air-to-air missiles with the drone below as its target.


    But to the stealth fighter''s surprise, the drone, upon hearing the thunder, suddenly climbed rapidly in altitude, raising itself to ten thousand meters in a very short time and fired two air-to-air missiles at the diving F-35.


    The F-35 fighter''s onboard radar immediately detected the iing missiles, setting off a shrill rm. The F-35 pilot, realizing that he was the target of the missiles, panicked and chose tounch his missiles before quickly pulling up in an attempt to flee the scene.


    Under Yan Fei''s deliberate show of weakness, the two F-35s ced too much faith in their stealth capabilities, bingcent in their tracking of the drone. They were very close to the drone, at a distance of less than six kilometers. Since the drone had been flying at an altitude of only a few hundred meters and had not shown the ability to fly to ten thousand meters, all the fighter pilots subconsciously believed it couldn''t fly high. Therefore, even when the F-35s approached the drone at less than six kilometers, they weren''t overly concerned because the altitude difference between them was 9500 meters, and the drone''s missiles couldn''t reach them.


    But the drone that night was meant to shatter their fixed perceptions. Seizing the most advantageous moment, Yan Fei suddenly increased the drone''s altitude, dramatically shortening the distance between it and the F-35 fighters. During the optimum moment of the F-35''s diving attack, heunched two air-to-air missiles.


    Tragically, the F-35 that entered the drone''s attack range couldn''t evade the pursuit of the air-to-air missiles. The two missiles broke through the F-35''s deployed decoy res, blocking all its escape routes, and then the missiles caught up to the F-35, blowing it up in midair. The F-35 pilot hadn''t anticipated being attacked, so he didn''t even prepare to eject and was destroyed along with the F-35.


    The F-35 looked formidable because of its stealth capabilities. If its stealth waspromised, an F-35''s performance might even fall short of the F-15. Once it was locked on by a missile, that meant it was going down. So disgracefully, the F-35 became the first stealth fighter jet to be shot down in aerialbat, and it was by the weakestbat power drone, forever marked in history along with its owner.


    Compared to the two AIM-92 Stinger air-to-air missiles that made the first history of shooting down a stealth fighter jet, the missilesunched by the F-35 seemed inferior. Under the lock of the drone quantum radar, the drone''s naval cannon fired, and with just two bursts, the iing missiles were blown apart.


    Yan Fei suddenly struck, taking down an F-35, not only shocking the fighter pilots present but also the US and Japanesemanders behind them, who were all stunned. This was a stealth fighter jet, representing the pinnacle of the world''s military technology, an extension of a superpower''s might¡ªhow could it be shot down? Moreover, it was brought down by a Drone; how did the Drone detect the stealth aircraft? This made no sense and was unscientific¡­


    Under the terrifying pressure of the mysterious Drone, agitated and embarrassed, the US-Japan fighter pilots stopped worrying about friendly fire and began tounch a barrage of Missiles at the Drone, hoping to deplete its Aircraft Cannon Shells and Missiles, then capture it and analyze the high technology within. In a tempest of fury, ten Air-to-Air Missiles, their tails flickering with mes, sped toward the Drone.


    The Drone was too slow to avoid the missile assault and had no choice but to use its Aircraft Cannon Shells to shoot them down one by one. Before Yan Fei could even catch his breath, morend-based Missiles and sea-based Missiles were also flying toward the Drone, their sheer numbers turning the Quantum Radar screen into a white expanse. With no other option, Yan Fei''s Drone continued to use its Aircraft Cannon to shoot down these iing Missiles. It was only after destroying thest missile that he realized he had only 5 shells left for his Aircraft Cannon, and just two Missiles, bringing the Drone close to running out of ammunition entirely.


    If another wave of Missile Attacks came, the Drone would exhaust all its ammunition andpletely lose its ability to resist. At this point, no matter how reluctant Yan Fei was, he decided to retreat. Staying here would not only fail to bring down the enemy Fighters, but he also likely wouldn''t be able to escape. Thus, the Drone began to turn around and fly toward the sea. The remaining five fighter jets could only follow the Drone at a distance, too scared to get close for fear the Drone might pull another trick and take them down as well.


    Seeing that no fighter dared to rashly enter its attack range, the Drone felt somewhat helpless, its shorings too apparent. As long as the enemy took it seriously, it couldn''t bring them down. Fortunately, the Drone could now see the sea surface ahead; with the sea in turmoil, all it needed to do was hide beneath the waves to avoid the attacks of the fighter jets. After all, no one would suspect a Drone could lurk underwater. However, by doing so, it would expose all its secrets to the enemy, but there was no other choice.


    Just as the Drone was about to dive into the sea bed, five more Air-to-Air Missiles sped in from behind. The Drone no longer had enough Aircraft Cannon ammunition to destroy them, but Yan Fei suddenly came up with a brilliant idea. He turned, steering the Drone directly toward a missile. When the Missile closed in to just a hundred meters away, he fired the Aircraft Cannon, hitting the Missile which then exploded as it met with the Drone, spinning the Drone around as if it had been struck and then plunging it into the sea bed below, vanishing from sight.


    Thanks to the precise control by the Auxiliary Brain, the Drone''s Aircraft Cannon destroyed the missile at the minimum safe distance. To onlookers, however, what they saw was the Missile seemingly striking the Drone, which then, trailing smoke, spiraled into the ocean. Instinctively, they believed the Drone had been downed by the Missile.


    So, two of the F-15J Fighters flew over to the site where the Drone had crashed, while the other three kept a cautious distance, not daring toe closer to avoid falling for another ruse¡ªalthough they hardly believed the Drone, now fallen into the sea, could still pose any threat to them.


    Once submerged, the Drone stopped ten meters below the water''s surface, using its Quantum Radar to observe the situation above. Those two Fighters flew over the sea, trying to spot the Drone''s wreckage. But since they were flying at a very high altitude and the sea was stormy, they didn''t spot any debris despite circling several times. To get a clearer view, they began to descend, approaching the site where the Drone had crashed.


    As soon as the two fighter jets lowered their altitude and skimmed the ocean surface, they saw the Drone suddenly emerge, hovering just 5 meters above the water. With a sh under its wings, thest two Missiles wereunched, catching the two unsuspecting Fighters off guard. They were promptly hit by the Missiles, exploded, and their wreckage fell into the sea.


    Yan Fei had originally intended to feign being downed by a Missile to hide the Drone, but when he saw the two F-15J Fighters so close, he couldn''t help but fire his Missiles and take them out. This was not only because it was the best angle of attack that evening, guaranteeing a sessful strike with theunch of Missiles; it was also because in his eyes, the two Fighters represented Merit Points. Having engaged extensively with the enemy squadron that night, he had amassed a significant number of Merit Points. There was no reason to let these two go; he needed enough points for a Drone Upgrade, or else the opportunity would be lost.


    After firing itsst rounds, the Drone was indeed out of ammunition. Once again, it dived and left the area of engagement, hiding below the sea bed''s sediment. That night, it had taken down nine Fighters, demonstrating formidablebat power, but this was the limit of its capabilities. If the enemy learned the Drone''sbat data and took precautions, the Drone would not even be able to shoot down a single fighter. The Drone had achieved such great results precisely because the enemy knew nothing about it. They faced it with conventional thinking, which led to a loss like never before.

 Chapter 117 Chapter 88: Dangerous Situation

    117 Chapter 88: Dangerous Situation


    This time, a total of 12 fighter jets made the attack, but the drones managed to shoot down nine of them. Now, only three jets remained, including two US F-15s and one F-35. The US Army and Japan Self-Defense Forces suffered heavy losses tonight, arguably the greatest non-war losses they''ve ever experienced, leaving them utterly humiliated.


    However, this unconventional air battle thoroughly revealed the drones'' formidable capabilities. They now understood that the drone definitely had high technology on board, capable ofunching missiles to attack targets in the sky even from the sea surface. After witnessing the drone''s attack methods on the sea surface, they naturally refused to believe that their missiles had destroyed it; the drone must be hiding beneath the sea. Therefore, the naval ships in the nearby waters were ordered to head towards the area of the incident, determined to capture the mysterious drone.


    After expending all its missiles, the drone once again submerged. The fighter jets on peripheral alert were at a distance and hadn''t seen the specifics, only knowing that the drone had fired missiles and taken down two more of their nes. So they didn''t dare toe any closer, instead circling from afar, waiting for the navy ships to arrive and conduct a search.


    Atop Fishwoman Mountain, Yan Fei withdrew his consciousness from controlling the drone, suddenly feeling incredibly exhausted. Even with the assistance of the Auxiliary Brain, this short air battle had drained a lot of his energy and was no less taxing than engaging inbat himself. However, the oue was still positive; his calctions led the drone to sessfully take down nine enemy jets, achieving an unprecedented victory. And these fighter jets had contributed a substantial amount of Merit Points to the drone, which was now not far from its next Upgrade.


    Above the sea, those three jets were still circling in the air but had now distanced themselves considerably from the area of action. With their previous experience in mind, they were far more cautious. Meanwhile, two US Military Navy ships were speeding towards the incident area. Farther away, a Japan Self-Defense Forces warship was also racing towards the same waters, all eager to capture the unmanned drone.

    The droney motionless, buried in the seabed silt. Not only had it exhausted all its ammunition, but it also had only 100 Energy Points left. Thus, it had long since shut down the Quantum Radar,pletely unaware of the number of ships that had arrived above the surface. It was simply waiting, biding time until the clock ticked past midnight in Tokyo, waiting for a data refresh to recover itsbat power and rejoin the fray.


    Yan Fei, pleased with the substantial acquisition of Merit Points, wrapped his raincoat tighter around him, intending to find a cave for shelter from the rain, when he suddenly noticed flickering lights at the foot of the mountain. Looking closely, he saw over tenrge vehicles driving through in the downpour. The vehicles stopped at the foot of the mountain, and from them poured over a hundred fully armed Japan Self-Defense Forces soldiers. Equipped for battle and wearing rain gear, they quickly surrounded Fishwoman Mountain and, led by several military officers, began a search.


    Yan Fei was greatly rmed. At this critical moment, the appearance of these soldiers here surely wasn''t for a military exercise¡ªlikely, they were after him. As he harbored this suspicion, two morerge vehicles emerged from the rainy backdrop, discharging a group of individuals. Yan Fei''s heart sank when he recognized one of the individuals disembarking¡ªit was Hideo Oogawa of the Oogawa Family.


    By this time, Yan Fei was certain that he had, unknowingly, revealed his location once again, and the Oogawa Family had mobilized the army to capture him, with Hideo Oogawa ying a leading role in the operation. Beside Hideo Oogawa were several unfamiliar individuals who nevertheless looked formidable. As the Oogawa Family''s forces encircled Fishwoman Mountain and their elite joined the search, Hideo Oogawa and hispany didn''t waste any time joining the ranksbing the mountain.


    Observing the soldiers searching below, Yan Fei immediately felt enveloped in crisis. In the past, no matter how adverse the circumstances, he always had the trump card of the drone to turn the tide. However, during the recent battle, the drone had depleted all its resources and lost allbat power. Though his own physical strength was formidable, he had little defense against firearms, to say nothing of facing a super expert like Hideo Oogawa. Therefore, discovery by these individuals meant certain death.


    It was only 11:30 PM now, and midnight was half an hour away. At that time, the Drone Data would refresh, and it would regain fighting ability. In other words, for this half-hour while the dronecked fighting capacity, Yan Fei would have to fight on his own.


    But Yan Fei, hardened by continuous battles, had an irond will. Despite losing his Drone Avatar, his vast Strength ensured he wouldn''t simply resign himself to fate. If he could just hold out for this half an hour, once the drone returned to its full glory, he would possess the resources for a counterattack.


    Casting aside any illusions, Yan Fei observed the soldiers below, and began formting hisbat n. Soon, he identified a direction and stealthily moved into position, ready to ambush the group of Japan Self-Defense Forces soldiers. But before he could position himself, the sky roared with the sound of two Apache helicopters, belonging to the Japan Ground Self-Defense Forces, that appeared unexpectedly. Turning on their spotlights, they began to circle above Fishwoman Mountain, keeping watch over the slopes.


    The Oogawa Family harbored deep hatred for Yan Fei. Thus, even in the face of extreme weather like a violent storm, they risked the danger of crashing to deploy armed helicopters, ensuring a blockade, and swore to bring the perpetrator to justice.


    It turned out that Yan Fei had been hiding in that spot all along. With his camouge, the other soldiers hadn''t noticed him until the urinating soldier inadvertently exposed him. With nowhere else to hide, Yan Fei quickly somersaulted up the cliff; while still mid-air, he shot steel balls from his hand, killing the soldier who had discovered him.


    That soldier had spotted Yan Fei and was about to shout when a steel ball struck him in the forehead, killing him instantly. Hisrades immediately noticed something was wrong and started to cry out. Yan Fei, after flipping onto the cliff, rapidly flicked his fingers, sending out several steel balls that took out the soldiers on the cliff. Then, turning around, he dashed into the nearby forest before the others could react.


    Now that Yan Fei''s traces had been discovered, the surrounding perimeter quickly tightened in his direction, with Hideo Oogawa and his men also running towards the area. The soldiers began firing into the dense forest; Yan Fei took cover behind a rock as bullets whizzed past, pinning him down and preventing him from moving.


    However, the drone''s movement generated noise, and the full attention of the US Navy guided missile destroyer was on monitoring undersea activity. Releasing active sonar, they quickly detected the disturbance caused by the drone and headed straight for it, while another escort vessel in the distance began to encircle, trying to force the drone to the surface.


    15:25


    Seeing the armed helicopters, Yan Fei dared not make any rash moves. His Drone Avatar might ughter Apache Armed Helicopters as if they were chickens, but facing the Apaches himself, he''d be the chicken to the knife. After all, with no defense against the Apaches'' 20-millimeter naval cannon and rocket attacks, he was entirely defenseless. Therefore, before the Drone Data refreshed, Yan Fei decided toy low and bide his time.


    Despite the hindrance of the violent storm, the searching soldiers were inching closer to the summit of Fishwoman Mountain, and their encirclement was tightening. Yan Fei had tried a few times to break out using the storm as cover, but each time he almost got spotted by the experts brought by Hideo Oogawa, and he ultimately had to reluctantly retreat, trapped on the mountain.


    On the east side of Fishwoman Mountain, a squad of Japanese soldiers was searching the area. One of them suddenly felt the urge to urinate and hurried to the edge of a nearby cliff, unzipped his pants, and began peeing downward. With the howling wind at y, his stream was blown off course and ended up sshing on the searching soldiers below, infuriating one of them. As he looked up to curse, he unexpectedly spotted a concealed human figure on the cliff¡ªa figure that was Yan Fei.


    It turned out that Yan Fei had been hiding in that spot all along. With his camouge, the other soldiers hadn''t noticed him until the urinating soldier inadvertently exposed him. With nowhere else to hide, Yan Fei quickly somersaulted up the cliff; while still mid-air, he shot steel balls from his hand, killing the soldier who had discovered him.


    That soldier had spotted Yan Fei and was about to shout when a steel ball struck him in the forehead, killing him instantly. Hisrades immediately noticed something was wrong and started to cry out. Yan Fei, after flipping onto the cliff, rapidly flicked his fingers, sending out several steel balls that took out the soldiers on the cliff. Then, turning around, he dashed into the nearby forest before the others could react.


    Now that Yan Fei''s traces had been discovered, the surrounding perimeter quickly tightened in his direction, with Hideo Oogawa and his men also running towards the area. The soldiers began firing into the dense forest; Yan Fei took cover behind a rock as bullets whizzed past, pinning him down and preventing him from moving.


    Meanwhile, an Apache armed helicopter in the sky was closing in on his position, continuouslyunching rockets in attack. The explosions near Yan Fei were deafening. Just as Yan Fei faced this critical moment, the Drone Avatar reported some activity¡ªUS Forces had reached the waters of the incident. Using deepwater bombs, they began attacking the drones hidden at sea.


    Though the Drone Avatar had moved away from the immediate area, the power of the deepwater bombs was considerable; it could even feel the shock waves from afar. The US Navy guided missile destroyer kept dropping deepwater bombs and gradually expanded the attack radius, getting closer to the drone''s location. Yan Fei was shocked, not expecting the US Military Warship to attack the underwater drones. He began to maneuver the drones farther away through the depths.


    However, the drone''s movement generated noise, and the full attention of the US Navy guided missile destroyer was on monitoring undersea activity. Releasing active sonar, they quickly detected the disturbance caused by the drone and headed straight for it, while another escort vessel in the distance began to encircle, trying to force the drone to the surface.


    Yan Fei''s physical body was surrounded, facing attacks from the armed helicopter, while his Drone Avatar was under attack from the US Navy guided missile destroyer. He had to worry about both sides at once, and despite assistance from the Auxiliary Brain, Yan Fei found himself in a harrowing, unprecedented danger.


    The armed helicopter in the skypletely overpowered Yan Fei, leaving him no way out and forcing him to hide behind arge rock. Just when Yan Fei was quietly panicking, the helicopter suddenly flew away. Then, arge rock came whistling towards his hiding spot and smashed fiercely against the rock he was hidden behind, shattering it to pieces. The debris flew in all directions, leaving Yan Fei in a disheveled state.


    Another massive rock then flew through the sky toward Yan Fei. He leaped aside to dodge the boulder. Right after, he saw a dark figure abruptly closing in on him, delivering a punch to his back. Taking a deep breath, his back muscles swelled and then vibrated rapidly to dissipate most of the impact. He then used the momentum to surge forward, re-entering the dense forest.


    It turned out that the dark figure was one of Hideo Oogawa''s men. He had stealthily crept up on Yan Fei, attempting a sneak attack, but never expected that Yan Fei would use his attack to escape back into the woods.


    Yan Fei started to sprint through the forest, and suddenly, the sound of something slicing through the air approached¡ªarge stone flew up again, aiming for Yan Fei. He swerved, narrowly evading the rock. But this move slowed him down momentarily, allowing the dark figure to catch up. The figure let out a bizarre cry and lunged at Yan Fei, grabbing his neck.


    Yan Fei snorted coldly. Using the strength in his back, he flung the figure from his back onto the ground ahead, dazing him. Then, with a vigorous motion, Yan Fei lifted the figure by his grip, using him as a hostage.

 Chapter 118 Chapter 89: Thunderstruck

    118 Chapter 89: Thunderstruck


    The dark figure turned out to be a robust young man who had miscalcted Yan Fei''s strength. Eager to prove himself and somewhat reckless, he was quickly grasped by Yan Fei and lost hisbat power.


    Suddenly, a huge boulder fell in front of Yan Fei, creating a deep pit in the ground. A man then descended from the sky and stood atop the boulder. The man was strong and d in ck clothes, he was none other than Hideo Oogawa himself.


    Hideo Oogawa let out a cold snort upon seeing his subordinate captured by Yan Fei and said, "A man more trouble than he''s worth, what a disgrace to the Oogawa family."


    The hostage immediately hung his head in shame, not daring to meet Hideo Oogawa''s eyes. Hideo Oogawa was, in fact, using therge rocks at a distance to attack Yan Fei and drive him away from the boulder area in order to capture him. That was the reason the armed helicopter had suddenly withdrawn. Little did he know, the hostage, hungry for glory, had attempted a sneak attack, only to be taken hostage himself.


    Yan Fei''s face was still in makeup, appearing as a middle-aged man. He controlled his throat muscles to adjust his tone and spoke in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"


    Hideo Oogawa scoffed, "You''ve killed the elites of our Oogawa family, and you still don''t know why we want to capture you?"


    Yan Fei began to stall for time, saying, "I haven''t killed anyone, and I have no idea what you''re talking about."


    Hideo Oogawaughed and said, "I know what you''re thinking. You''re definitely stalling for time, waiting for the Drone toe rescue you. But I''d advise you not to get your hopes up, because the American warships are searching for that Drone at the bottom of the sea. For all we know, they might have already picked it up." @@novelbin@@


    The Drone was Yan Fei''s avatar, and he was constantly aware of its situation. Though the Drone was currently facing the threat of Deepwater Bombs, it remained safe up to this moment. Hideo Oogawa was trying to shake his confidence by exaggerating the situation; little did he know that Yan Fei was much more familiar with the Drone''s condition than he was, rendering this tacticpletely futile.


    Having used the Drone to leave his residence that evening, Yan Fei was mentally prepared for their connection to be exposed. With his disguise, people would associate the Drone with a middle-aged man, not realizing his true identity was Yan Fei from China.


    Yan Fei pretended to furrow his brow, showing a hesitant expression on his face. Hideo Oogawa then said, "Release him, and I''ll give you a chance to engage in a death match with me."


    Yan Fei countered, "What if I don''t release him?"


    Hideo Oogawa made a gesture, and the armed helicopter immediately flew over, hovering above Yan Fei. The armed helicopter''s 20-millimeter gun barrel aimed directly at him, ready to open fire if negotiations failed.


    Hideo Oogawa said, "If you give up this chance to fight a death match with me, I won''t mind having the armed helicopter take you out."


    Yan Fei''s mind raced, and he suddenly said, "I understand now, you want to capture me alive. Through me, you can acquire the advanced technology contained in the Drone and locate its manufacturing factory."


    Hideo Oogawa smiled, "You''re quite intelligent to understand our objective. So, you now have two options: one is to release the hostage and fight me. If you can kill me, you''ll naturally be able to leave safely. The surrounding army and the armed helicopter won''t stop you."


    Yan Fei asked, "And the second option?"


    Hideo Oogawa said, "The second option is for you to continue holding the hostage, and then be taken out by the armed helicopter. Without you, we can still find the Drone at the bottom of the sea and obtain its high technology. The only difference is, with the first option, you might survive, but with thetter, you''re certain to die."


    Yan Fei thought for a moment, then pushed the hostage back toward Hideo Oogawa.


    Hideo Oogawa pped his hands, saying, "Smart. Only the clever can live longer. But now that you''ve lost the hostage, aren''t you afraid the helicopter will take you out right away?"


    Yan Fei said, "If you kill me, you''ll never unlock the Drone''s secrets. The Drone is so formidable, do you think that once the Americans have it, they would share the research with you Japanese? So if you want the Drone''s secrets, you can only get them through me; I am your only hope."


    Hideo Oogawa was taken aback, not expecting Yan Fei to see the situation so clearly. He gave a jolt of his hand, throwing the hostage behind, and turned to say, "Everyone, stand back. I''m going to fight him to the death, and none of you are to interfere."


    Yan Fei watched Hideo Oogawa approaching slowly, sensing his formidable strength. A surge of fighting will churned in his heart. Thest time in Shanghai, Hideo Oogawa had burst in on a surprise attack, catching him at a moment when he had lost hisbat power, forcing him to watch Hideo Oogawa swagger away. Today, he finally had the chance to confront Hideo Oogawa again. Although Hideo Oogawa was powerfully strong, Yan Fei also saw an opportunity to avenge his past humiliation.


    Suddenly, Hideo Oogawa let out a strange yell and charged at Yan Fei,unching a kick. Yan Fei blocked with his hand, only to feel a massive force strike him, sending him involuntarily stepping back, retreating more than ten meters.


    With that move, Yan Fei had tested Hideo Oogawa''s strength and realized that he was still no match for him in terms of power. Hideo Oogawa, havingnded a sessful hit, charged at Yan Fei like a wild bull, creating a thunderous sound akin to a train barreling forward, his momentum immense.


    Yan Fei dared not take the blow head-on and somersaulted away, jumping onto arge tree. Just as he was about to mount an attack, a chill ran down his spine. Suddenly, an anesthesia needle appeared on his back, and the liquid inside was injected into his body.


    Yan Fei reached back and pulled the needle from his back. Enraged, he hurled it down the cliff beside him.


    Below, Hideo Oogawa burst outughing, saying, "Did you really think I wanted a duel with you? Foolish. I was merely tasked with distracting you; our trump card was at your back the whole time. You''ve already been hit by an anesthesia needle, and soon you''ll lose consciousness. You won''t escape the palm of my hand."


    Yan Fei said, "Don''t you Japanese cherish the honor of the samurai and enjoy one-on-one fights the most?"


    Hideo Oogawa looked at Yan Fei with disdain, replying, "Another fool poisoned by film and TV works and novels. Why would I fight you one on one when I have the upper hand? What if you were to suddenly harness a burst of cosmic power, then I would be the one to suffer. Remember this, ''To defeat the enemy without fighting'' is the best strategy in warfare."


    As Yan Fei was pondering his next move, his Drone Avatar suddenly sent out a distress signal. The two escort ships had finally cornered the Drone Avatar in a narrow space, and deepwater bombs began to explode beside it, causing slight cracks in the drone''s body.


    The damage to the drone was also reflected in Yan Fei''s body, draining his strength rapidly. Yan Fei suddenly leaped down from the tree and rushed toward Hideo Oogawa. Oogawa sidestepped, easily dodging Yan Fei, who seemed to lose his footing and charged towards the edge of the cliff. Then, Yan Fei reached into his cloak and, as if from nowhere, produced a huge cloak. He draped it over himself and prepared to jump off the cliff.


    Hideo Oogawa was taken aback, not expecting Yan Fei to choose a cliff jump over capture. He took a quick step to grab Yan Fei, but Yan Fei took a leap forward and plunged down the cliff.


    Hideo Oogawa was just a step behind when Yan Fei jumped. Gritting his teeth, he too leaped off the cliff.


    As Yan Fei fell, he clutched the trailing cloak behind him and began controlling its angle, using it as a makeshift parachute. The cloak slowed his descent considerably.


    Suddenly, the cloak was sliced open from the middle, and Hideo Oogawa descended from above, kicking Yan Fei in the process.


    Yan Fei, now without the cloak''s braking effect and having taken a kick from Oogawa, plummeted towards the ground rapidly. Yet, he was not panicked and instead turned over to spread out his limbs and slow his descent.


    Meanwhile, Hideo Oogawa above shaped his body into a vertical line to elerate his fall, quickly catching up with Yan Fei. He grabbed Yan Fei''s leg, but Yan Fei struck out with a punch that hit Oogawa''s face squarely, causing stars to burst in his vision. Enraged, Oogawa retaliated with a punch to Yan Fei''s abdomen.


    Yan Fei winced in pain and counterattacked, hitting Oogawa in the chest, who struck back again. In this way, the two men tore at each other in mid-air, neither giving inch.


    In a brief period, they fell a considerable distance, and below was the vast sea, which was now roaring with huge waves. At this moment, Hideo Oogawa began to feel fear. He dodged Yan Fei''s attacks and started to look for the terrain below. Barely discerning arge tree halfway down the mountainside, he twisted his body and aimed for that tree, intending to grab onto it.


    Yan Fei had also been looking for a chance to escape. Seeing Oogawa grab the tree branch, Yan Fei suddenly reached out and clutched Oogawa tightly. The branch couldn''t bear the force and snapped, sending them plummeting once again. However, with therge tree''s cushioning, their descent slowed considerably.


    Hideo Oogawa struggled desperately and finally kicked Yan Fei away, but he immediately felt something heavy on his body. An iron hoop with many delicate metal wires had appeared around him, a device Yan Fei had stealthily slipped on him. Oogawa sneered, prepared to break free from the hoop when at that moment, a sh of electrical light from the sky was drawn to him by the metal wires, hurtling toward him.


    With a thunderous boom, Hideo Oogawa let out a scream. Lightning struck him, smoke billowed from his body, and he turned charred ck, unable to move a muscle, a pitiful sight to behold.


    For this trip to Japan, Yan Fei had prepared many items in the Universal Space. This iron hoop was something he''d added when he was bored, with metal wires he had wound around it. Initially, it served no particr purpose, but on this stormy night, Yan Fei had a sudden inspiration. Right after being kicked away by Oogawa, he managed to slip the hoop onto him, inadvertently leading to the lightning strike, culminating in Oogawa''s tragic fate.


    Yan Fei had only subconsciously put the hoop on Oogawa and hadn''t anticipated the effect it would have. It was as if the heavens themselves were aiding him; just after he left Oogawa''s side, the lightning was drawn to the iron hoop and thin metal wires, subjecting Oogawa to a terrible lightning strike.

 Chapter 119 - 90: Death Match Under the Sea

    Chapter 119: Chapter 90: Death Match Under the Sea


    Hideo Oogawa was struck by Heavenly Thunder, but it did not slow their descent into the plight of falling. Then a ¡°thud¡± was heard as both men plunged into the churning sea below.


    The mighty Hideo Oogawa, who had been struck by lightning and seemed as lifeless as charred wood, suddenly regained consciousness under the immense impact as he found himself falling into the seawater, and then noticed Yan Fei had also fallen in. With a strong effort of his arms, he immediately shattered the deformed iron rings that had been electrified by the lightning on his body, regaining his freedom.


    Yan Fei was also severely injured under the tremendous impact, but he was used to sustaining severe injuries and had an incredibly strong will, so he was still able to control his body. Although Hideo Oogawa had just been struck by lightning and was seriously injured, the impact of the fall from a high altitude hadpounded his injuries. He, who had be sessful at a young age and had reached the pinnacle of his Kung Fu, had not sustained such serious injuries for a long time, and was less experienced in handling them, which put him in a more critical situation than Yan Fei.


    As soon as the two men hit the water, they began sinking toward the deep sea. Hideo Oogawa, brave and fearless even with grave injuries, immediately grabbed Yan Fei and pulled him deeper into the depths. Yan Fei struck back at once, entangling Hideo Oogawa tightly, and they both continued to wrestle each other as they sank toward the seabed.


    While Yan Fei and Hideo Oogawa were locked in a life-or-death struggle under the sea, the Drone Avatar was undergoing a concentrated Deepwater Bomb attack by the US Navy guided missile destroyer, leaving it no room to hide. The Drone had no choice but to resurface, stopping less than two meters from the sea surface.


    The two remaining F-15 Fighters in the sky breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing their Escort Ship arrive and attack the Drone with Deepwater Bombs below the sea surface. They approached the area, hoping to witness the final fate of the Drone that had put them in such fear. But as they drew near, they saw the Drone suddenly burst through the surface and head straight for them.


    The Drone, having observed the fighter nes above the water, broke through the surface and collided directly with one of them. The F-15 Fighter pilot was stunned; he had never faced an attackunched from beneath the sea before, and in an instant, his ne collided with the Drone. The Drone¡¯s wing sliced through the F-15 Fighter¡¯s wing, and a sh of fire was seen as the fighter¡¯s wing was severed, while the Drone¡¯s wing waspletely unscathed.


    The F-15 Fighter, having lost its wing, plunged straight into the ocean and crashed into the waves. The other fighter ne, seeing the Drone re-emerge and destroy itsrade, was so frightened that it climbed rapidly, keeping its distance. The Drone took this opportunity to fly quickly towards the distance; by the time the other fighter ne reacted and began firing Missiles at the Drone,


    the Drone had reached 10 kilometers away from the US Navy guided missile destroyer and had finally run out of Energy Points, immediately going into standby mode and crashing into the sea, slowly sinking to the bottom. The pursuing missile, having lost its target, detonated by itself.


    The two US Navy guided missile destroyers, upon seeing the Drone suddenly leave the sea surface and fly away, had not yet reacted when they observed the Drone crash into the sea after destroying a fighter jet. Subsequently, they moved towards the sea area 10 kilometers away.


    Yan Fei¡¯s main body was amidst a fierce battle with Hideo Oogawa at the bottom of the sea, already in grave danger, and he had to divide his attention to care for his Drone Avatar. This gave Hideo Oogawa the chance to pin Yan Fei with several brutal hits, nearly knocking him unconscious. Hideo Oogawa indeed had immense strength; despite being hit by lightning, he still possessed formidablebat power, facing Yan Fei head-on without falling behind and managing tond several heavy blows.


    Yan Fei gritted his teeth and endured Hideo Oogawa¡¯s heavy hits. His body had been dosed with an anesthetic, and with the violent movements, the anesthetic began to spread throughout his body, numbing it. It was this numbness that allowed Yan Fei to withstand Hideo Oogawa¡¯s fierce attacks.


    As the two men sank to the bottom of the sea, engaged in a deadly fight while also enduring the terrifying water pressure, they slowly began to falter. Hideo Oogawa was already severely injured before the hasty plunge into the sea and had been fighting with Yan Fei all along, consuming arge amount of Oxygen. After the violent assault, he had reached his limit, wanting to ascend to gasp for breath above the surface.


    But Yan Fei, whose body had been modified by Mysterious Power and had some amazing features, now discovered that his consumption of Oxygen at the bottom of the sea was greatly reducedpared to normal people. His skin could even absorb the free Oxygen from the seawater. So although he had plunged into the sea with Hideo Oogawa, he had not yet experienced any breathing difficulties.


    Seeing Hideo Oogawa trying to surface for air, Yan Fei immediately began to swim, tightly grasping Hideo Oogawa¡¯s legs and dragging him into the deeper water. Hideo Oogawa was taken aback and struggled fiercely, but with the shift in power, Yan Fei¡¯s Strength was not much less than his. With this effort, Hideo Oogawa found himself unable to break free and was dragged down by Yan Fei toward the seabed.


    This struggle consumed even more of Hideo Oogawa¡¯s Oxygen, causing him to faint from severe oxygen deficiency, weakening his arms and legs. Suddenly, Yan Fei felt the struggling force in his hands intensify, and Hideo Oogawa broke free, swimming upwards. Yan Fei knew that if Hideo Oogawa escaped, it would be his doom. He gathered all his remaining strength and chased after Hideo Oogawa, catching his feet just as he was about to surface and dragging him back down to the seabed.


    Hideo Oogawa¡¯s desperate burst had used up all his energy, and now being dragged down again, his strength greatly diminished, unable to break free from Yan Fei¡¯s grip, continuously dragged toward the bottom of the sea. Eventually, Hideo Oogawa stopped struggling, his limbs spread out, floating lifelessly at the bottom.


    After such an extensive expenditure of energy, Yan Fei also became dizzy, falling into a state of deep oxygen deficiency, but he still clung to Hideo Oogawa, fiercely smashing his temple with sharp stones from the seabed. Blood flowed from Hideo Oogawa¡¯s head, but there was no response.


    At this point, Yan Fei used his arms and legs to ascend rapidly, and with a ¡°thud,¡± he burst through the surface, breathing deeply. Fresh, moist air filled his lungs, soothing his symptoms of oxygen deficiency. Never before had Yan Fei felt that the ability to breathe freely was such a marvelous thing.


    As Yan Fei breathed in bliss on the sea surface, he saw an Apache armed helicopter from Fishwoman Mountain descending toward the sea area where he was. He took a deep breath, then swiftly turned and dived back into the ocean, searching for Hideo Oogawa on the ocean floor.


    Blood ceaselessly poured from the top of Hideo Oogawa¡¯s head, and he showed no response whatsoever, clearly no longer capable of movement, but Yan Fei didn¡¯t yet know if he was dead. After all, every expert Yan Fei had encountered before had incredibly strong vitality, and Hideo Oogawa¡¯s strength surpassed that of any other expert he had met, so he could not be taken lightly. Therefore, he picked up the stone again and smashed it into Hideo Oogawa¡¯s head until the brain oozed out, yet there was still no movement. It was at this time that Yan Fei finally believed that Hideo Oogawa was indeed dead.


    Hideo Oogawa¡¯s strength was formidable, and if Yan Fei were to confront him head-on, fleeing would have been his only option. However, Yan Fei managed to first strike Oogawa with lightning, then induced oxygen deficiency in the water, and after several bouts, finally killed him. It was a performance above his level, like defeating a superior monster.


    Yan Fei looked around, hid Hideo Oogawa¡¯s body between the reefs on the seabed, and ced arge stone on top to prevent it from floating to the surface. Then he surfaced once more and swam towards the distant beach.


    The armed helicopter above kept circling the area of the incident, trying to find traces of both Hideo Oogawa and Yan Fei.


    Yan Fei finally swam onto the beach. His body, because of the anaesthetic, had be very stiff. He just wanted to lie there motionless. However, not daring to stay in the area, he used his arms and legs to crawl toward the shore and into the dense forest. After finding a cave and hiding inside, hey down to rest.


    @@novelbin@@


    This rainy night death match didn¡¯tst long in terms of time, but the thrills far surpassed any before, every second was a brush with death. Not only was Yan Fei on the threshold of life and death, but so was his opponent. In the end, he was thest tough, eliminating the Oogawa Family¡¯s top enforcer. Though Yan Fei was not yet a match for Hideo Oogawa in martial force, his robust body coupled with a bit of luck still managed to grind down Oogawa.


    With this, all those who came to disrupt Dream Technology headquarters were taken care of by Yan Fei, and the rage in his heart was quelled. His original purpose ining to Japan was to eliminate Ryoko Oogawa and Jo Oogawa. Never had he anticipated being able to kill Hideo Oogawa; after all, Oogawa¡¯s strength was formidable, not someone he could have killed at this point. However, due to a fortunate series of events, the unexpected joy was that he had indeed eliminated Hideo Oogawa.


    Yan Fei hid in the cave, his entire body numb and unable to move. Meanwhile, the Drone on the ocean floor, having exhausted its Energy Points, was in standby mode, as the US Navy guided missile destroyer approached it from above. Yan Fei was in an unprecedentedly grave situation; discovery would mean the end of everything for him, but rather unusually, he wasn¡¯t too tense, knowing that it was nearly midnight in Tokyo and the Drone Data was about to refresh.


    Indeed, after hiding in the cave for two minutes, a Mysterious Power suddenly surged through Yan Fei, followed by the Drone Data refresh. The Drone was rejuvenated, regaining its Combat power. The Mysterious Power also healed Yan Fei¡¯s body, rapidly neutralizing the anaesthetic. He regained sensation in his body, and his internal injuries rapidly healed.


    Just as two US Navy escort ships were approaching the area where the Drone was lurking, they saw movement on the water¡¯s surface, as the Drone once again burst forth, quickly flying away toward open sea. At that moment, only an F-15 Fighter and an F-35 remained in the sky. Having been bluff attacked by the Drone earlier, leading them to question their existence, they had been conducting high-altitude surveince, staying vignt and not giving the Drone another chance.


    Now that they spotted the Drone emerging from the sea once again, they felt their caution was justified, knowing not to fall for the same trick twice. However, they immediately fired missiles at the Drone, yet to their surprise, the Vulcan Gun on the Drone¡¯s nose fired, cleanly shooting down the two missiles. These fighter pilots had known that the Drone¡¯s bullets and missiles had been exhausted, which is why they dared to hover nearby, ready to attack it. Upon witnessing the Drone firing again, they were so frightened they flew far away, daring not to approach it any longer.


    After takeoff, the Drone used its Quantum Radar for a scan, detecting a group of over twenty aircraft advancing in its direction. Knowing that the US and Japanese support nes wereing¡ªhe had struggled even against just over a dozen fighters before¡ªYan Fei instantly turned and flew in the opposite direction.


    Once he was sufficiently far away, the Drone turned back and plunged into the ocean, then moved swiftly underwater, far from the ce it had just entered the water.

 Chapter 120 - 91: Upgrade Template

    Chapter 120: Chapter 91: Upgrade Temte


    ¡°`


    Soon, the squadron of fighter jets arrived at the sea area in question. Heeding the warnings from the rearmand center, they monitored the sea surface from a distant high altitude, offering no opportunities for the Drone to take advantage of. The two US Navy guided missile destroyers also arrived, initiating a search beneath the sea surface, followed by the arrival of Japan¡¯s escort ships, which joined the search. By this time, however, the Drone had already left the sea floor far behind this area, and their search for traces of the Drone was doomed to fail.


    The Drone continued its high-speed underwater journey until it was clear of danger before stealthily concealing itself under arge coral reef at the bottom of the deep sea, using the coral reef to block any attempts at detection.


    Under the influence of the Mysterious Power, the anesthetic inside Yan Fei¡¯s body was finally cleared, and he regained control over his body. At the same time, the injuries he had suffered were healed, and hisbat power was fully restored.


    By this time, the two-hour-long storm had finally subsided. The gusty winds gave way to gentle breezes, the torrential rain thinned to a drizzle, and the thunder and lightning vanished. Compared to the apocalyptic terror before, the current situation seemed like a return to the world of the living.


    Just then, the sounds of Japan¡¯s military forces searching nearby could be heard, so Yan Fei hurried out of the cave and away from the dense forest. Although there was no longer the cover of a fierce storm, Yan Fei easily left the area without the super expert Hideo Oogawa restraining him, as the expanded search area led to a reduced density of search personnel. After running quickly, he finally managed to leave the area within an hour, leaving the searching Japanese forces far behind.


    It was only at this point that Yan Fei stopped to rest in a cave. The events he had experienced this evening were truly numerous; both his actual body and the Drone Avatar had faced repeated dangers and had narrowly escaped death in Japan. Before seeking revenge in Japan, he had not anticipated facing so many lethal threats there. It seemed that Japan was not a simple country, filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere.


    Despite the hardships endured, Yan Fei¡¯s gains were substantial, as the Drone had acquired a massive amount of Merit during tonight¡¯s battle. The Auxiliary Brain provided a detailed list of the Merit earned that night:


    In the Tokyo Suburbs, missile and naval cannon attacks killed 169 people, earning 169 Merit Points; missile and naval cannon attacks shot down 2 police helicopters, earning 100 Merit Points (50 Merit Points per police helicopter), 2 ck Hawk helicopters, earning 300 Merit Points (150 Merit Points per Transport Helicopter), and 2 Apache Armed Helicopters, earning 600 Merit Points (300 Merit Points per armed helicopter); naval cannon attacks destroyed 5 MIA2 tanks, earning 500 Merit Points (100 Merit Points per tank), 8 armored vehicles, earning 160 Merit Points (20 Merit Points per armored vehicle), and 35 military vehicles, earning 175 Merit Points (5 Merit Points per military vehicle).


    In airbat, missile attacks shot down 7 F-15 Fighters, earning 3,500 Merit Points (500 Merit Points per F-15 Fighter), 2 electronic warfare aircraft, earning 1,600 Merit Points (800 Merit Points per electronic warfare aircraft), 1 F-35 stealth fighter, earning 1,500 Merit Points, and 2 Transport Helicopters, earning 300 Merit Points (150 Merit Points per Transport Helicopter). Killing 5 pilots earned 5 Merit Points. Destroying one air defense position earned 300 Merit Points.


    The total Merit gained from this sortie was 9,209 points, bringing the cumtive total to 12,163 Merit Points.


    The Drone¡¯s Merit Points had finally surpassed 10,000 points, reaching the necessary condition for another Drone Upgrade. On the virtual control screen of the Drone, a gray upgrade button appeared along with a blood-red question mark next to it.


    For previous upgrades of the Drone, once the condition was met, a red upgrade button would directly appear. If sufficient raw materials were present, Yan Fei only needed to click the upgrade button, and the Drone would automatically upgrade. Now, the Upgrade button was there, but it was gray and obviously unclickable, whereas a blood-red question mark had appeared next to it.


    Curious, Yan Fei tried to click the gray upgrade button, but there was no response. He clicked on the blood-red question mark, and a detailed exnation appeared.


    ¡°The Drone is about to upgrade from Level 3 to Level 4. This upgrade is a qualitative leap, and a Level 4 Drone will have powerfulbat ability. Therefore, during the upgrade process, an Upgrade Temte selection will appear, allowing the host to choose the Drone¡¯s upgrade temte.¡±


    Below this statement were the selection temtes for a Level 4 Drone, featuring four different icons of fighter jets. Yan Fei had been studying unmanned aerialbat for some time and had thoroughly researched the mainbat aircraft around the world. He recognized the types of aircraft in these icons at a nce.


    The first illustration featured the F-18 ¡°Ho¡± Fighter Jet of the United States Navy.


    The second featured the F-15 ¡°Eagle¡± Fighter Jet of the United States Air Force.


    The third showed the SU-35 Fighter of the Russian Air Force.


    The fourth depicted the J-10 Fighter of the China Air Force.


    ¡°`


    @@novelbin@@


    All four of these fighter jets are currently the most advanced third-generation fighters in the world. The United States has two models, namely the F-18 and F-15. The F-18 ¡°Ho¡± is a carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy, while the F-15 ¡°Eagle¡± is a fighter jet of the US Air Force. Yan Fei is very familiar with it because he just shot down as many as seven of them. Russia¡¯s SU-35 is also a formidable third-generation fighter, single-handedly upholding Russia¡¯s skies. Among these four fighter jets, China¡¯s J-10 seems slightly weaker, but since it was selected by the Drone as the next upgrade temte, it indicates that the J-10 is not as weak as one might think but has the ability to contend with the other three top third-generation fighters.


    Among these four fighter jet temtes, Yan Fei eliminated China¡¯s J-10 first, not because he looked down on the J-10, but because the Drone would surely fight in the Jianghu again, causing trouble around the world. If it were discovered that this fighter jet resembled China¡¯s J-10, it would definitely bring significant trouble to China. As a Chinese person, Yan Fei naturally did not want to cause trouble for his own country.


    For this reason, the SU-35 temte was also ruled out by Yan Fei. Since not only Russia has the SU-35 fighter jets, China¡¯s Air Force also has them, so to avoid suspicion, Yan Fei would not choose these two types of fighter jet temtes.


    As for the F-15 and F-18, both are US fighter jets. When the Drone causes a major disaster, it would be fitting for the United States to take the me. At the same time, he could also use this model to paralyze the US military and its allies, allowing them to be cautious and then demonstrate the power ofbat ability because no one would think that aside from the US, there would be anyone else in the world capable of producing these two types of aircraft. It is known that Yan Fei had previously used the ¡°Predator Drone¡¯s¡± appearance to gain many advantages inbat, causing the US military to take a lot of heat.


    The Drone¡¯s fourth upgrade already involved a qualitative change; one must not only choose a good temte for post-upgrade but must also scan the selected temte on-site. Only after the Drone has obtained all the information of the temte, it can proceed with the upgrade. Therefore, once Yan Fei determines the Drone¡¯s upgrade temte, he muste into close contact with the temte aircraft to enable the Drone¡¯s upgrade.


    The F-18 is a US Navy carrier-based aircraft, which is usually parked on aircraft carriers or at their naval bases, rtively secluded. It would be very difficult for Yan Fei to gain ess to them, so his only choice is the US military¡¯s F-15 fighter jet. This type of jet is the US Air Force¡¯s main fighter, primarily stationed at various air force bases, and the US Forces have dozens of air force bases in Japan. With a bit of caution, Yan Fei could still get close to this model of fighter jet and scan it.


    Although the F-15 fighter jets were shot down by the Drone in numbers as high as seven in previous wars, that does not mean the F-15s are weak. That was because the opponents were unaware of the Drone¡¯sbat power, and coupled with Yan Fei¡¯s reasonable use of environmental cover, he was able tounch improbable attacks and repeatedly score sneak attacks sessfully. Once the F-15s got serious, the Drone would have no way to deal with them. This was also why the Drone, after regaining itsbat ability, would immediately flee upon seeing a group of F-15s forming a squadron.


    Once the Drone upgrades ording to the F-15 temte, it will undoubtedly undergo mutations under the influence of Mysterious Power. By that time, the Drone will be even more terrifying,pletely making up for its weaknesses in flight speed and attack range. After all, a small ¡°Predator Drone¡± showed formidablebat power after its upgrade, beating a group of top third-generation fighters into a retreat; there¡¯s no reason that the F-15 Drone Upgrade would lead to a decrease inbat power.


    However, it is deep into the night now, and with Yan Fei injured, it is naturally impossible for him to scan the F-15 fighter jet at this time. So he starts to rest in the cave, waiting for daylight to take action.


    The next morning, upon waking up, Yan Fei discovered that his injuries had indeed healed. There was a heavy downpourst night, but now the sky is clear, and the air is incredibly fresh, making the world seem beautiful and hardly reminiscent of the severe battles of life and death that took ce inst night¡¯s rain, resulting in so many deaths.


    Yan Fei took a few deep breaths and admired the beautiful scenery for a moment. Then he took out the food he had prepared earlier from the Universal Space and, while enjoying his breakfast, he activated his drone, used it to connect to the Inte in Japan, and began to search for US military bases in the country.


    The US military maintained strict control in Japan, with over fifty bases spread throughout the nation, with the most significant presence in Okinawa Prefecture, at the southernmost end. However, there were also several US Air Force bases on Honshu Ind. The closest to Tokyo was the US Navy¡¯s Atsugi Naval Air Base located in Japan.


    The Atsugi Naval Air Base in Japan lies 35 kilometers southwest of Tokyo, covering 486 hectares, making it thergest US Navy airbase in the Western Pacific. It is home to the United States¡¯ 5th Carrier Fighter Jet Squadron, equipped with F-15 Eagles, A-6 Intruder carrier-based attack aircraft, A-10 Thunderbolt attack nes, S-3 carrier-based Nordic pirate anti-submarine aircraft, AV-8B Harrier vertical take-off andnding attack aircraft, U-2 high-altitude tactical reconnaissance aircraft, E-2 carrier-based Hawkeye early warning aircraft, C-130 Hercules Transport Aircraft, EA-6B Prowler carrier-based electronic jamming aircraft, AH-1B Cobra attack helicopters, SH-60J anti-submarine helicopters, SH-3 anti-submarine patrol helicopters, UH-60 search and rescue helicopters, PS-1 Shinmeiwa anti-submarine patrol aircraft, CH-47 transport helicopters, T-2 double-seat jet trainers¡­


    This base housed a vast number of airnes of various types, including the F-15 Fighters that Yan Fei had already chosen as a temte for the drone upgrade. Some of the nes he shot down the previous night had taken off from this base.


    Thus, upon discovering this American airbase, Yan Fei set his sights on it. Because it was close to Tokyo and had a wide variety of aircraft, not only could he easily scan the F-15s, but he might also encounter F-18 fighters.

 Chapter 122 - 92 Base of Horror_2

    Chapter 122: Chapter 92 Base of Horror_2


    Quickly, time reached ten o¡¯clock at night. Yan Fei once again approached the airbase vicinity. There was no moonlight tonight and while high-powered lights illuminated the base, the other areas were still pitch-dark. Despite it being past ten o¡¯clock, various airnes were frequently taking off andnding on the runway. This demonstrated the US Air Force¡¯s rigorous training, which is one of the reasons they have dominated globally for decades.


    What Yan Fei didn¡¯t know was that these nes frequently taking off andnding sote were not just training; they were searching for Yan Fei¡¯s Drone Avatar. After all, the US-Japan Joint Forces had suffered heavy losses the previous night, and in the end, they failed to find so much as a single hair from the drone. Their frequent sorties were meant to find the drone, destroy it or capture it. Otherwise, as long as the drone remained hidden at an unknown location, asionallyunching surprise attacks, they would be exhausted by the constant response, unable to carry out other tasks.


    Yan Fei concealed himself in darkness, changed into a set of ck tight-fitting clothes, and even covered his face with a ck cloth, with only his eyes showing behind protective goggles. To avoid being captured by surveince cameras, he even adjusted the intervals between his bones to make himself much shorter, appearing to be only about 165 centimeters tall.


    Afterpleting the initial disguise work and double-checking that there were no ws, Yan Fei stealthily approached the airbase. Surrounding the base was a circle of wire mesh with a height of four meters. He carefully observed his surroundings; during the daytime recon, he had identified this spot as a very narrow visual blind spot, one not covered by surveince cameras. He took out a pair of pliers from the Universal Space, cut several sections of the wire, created arge hole, and then crawled through it.


    The Atsugi Naval Air Base was vast, and even though Yan Fei had infiltrated the airbase, the distant runway was still far away, not to mention the F-15 Fighter Jets there. He carefully watched for nearby surveince cameras, draping a grass-green nket over himself, and crawled towards the distant runway in coordination with the flickering lights.


    This was thergest US airbase in Japan, with extremely stringent security. There were surveince cameras everywhere, soldiers patrolling in vehicles from time to time, and various searchlights continuously sweeping around. If it weren¡¯t for Yan Fei¡¯s agility and the camouge of his green nket, along with his patience and a bit of luck, he would have been discovered by the base¡¯s soldiers long ago.


    Under the cover of night, Yan Fei drew closer to the distant runway. But for safety, he moved very slowly. Hey on the ground, asionally crawling forward, then would stop to avoid surveince camera monitoring or the sweep of searchlights, or to evade patrolling vehicles and personnel. The entire process was extremely difficult, no easier than fighting a major battle.


    After crawling and pausing, an hourter, Yan Fei finally managed to sneak up next to the runway. He looked at the F-15¡¯s parked in the distance, filled with joy. But security was even more stringent here, with the constant possibility of being discovered. He hesitated for a moment, then began to open the Virtual Operating Screen and aimed at an F-15 on the runway, pressing the scan button. But a red text warning immediately appeared on the screen.


    ¡°Target too far, scanning not possible, minimum scanning distance 10 meters!¡±


    Yan Fei was at least 500 meters away from the F-15 on the distant runway¡ªno wonder he couldn¡¯t scan it, as the minimum scanning distance was only 10 meters. With no other choice, Yan Fei had to risk continuing to crawl forward. After another 30 minutes, he finally managed to get close to an advanced model of the F-15 Fighter Jet.


    As Yan Fei approached the F-15, his initial thought was to use the Universal Space to transport the F-15 to a safe location and scan it leisurely. However, the F-15 Fighter Jet was huge, measuring 19.45 meters in length, with a wingspan of 13.05 meters and a height of 5.65 meters. The Level 3 Drone General Space had a volume of only 100 meters and had to be cuboidal, making it impossible to amodate the massive F-15 in any form.


    Having no other choice, Yan Fei decided to scan right there. He observed his surroundings, clicked the F-15 icon on the Virtual Operation Screen, which revealed a scanning option. He initiated the scan and saw a red beam shoot out from his eyes, striking the F-15 Fighter, slowly scanning from nose to tail.


    @@novelbin@@


    Yan Fei was taken aback, having not expected that the drone would scan in such a manner. The red beam was too conspicuous and could easily be noticed by soldiers at the airport. Moreover, the drone¡¯s scanning was very slow, and it would probably take at least five minutes toplete. During such a long time, the possibility of being exposed greatly increased. But there was no going back, as scanning couldn¡¯t be stopped once started. He could only pray not to be discovered by the airbase security personnel.


    Watching the red beam slowly sweeping over the F-15¡¯s body, Yan Fei was inwardly anxious, wishing the red beam would move faster. Though anxious, he dared not move his head for fear that the scan would fail and have to start over. Finally, as Yan Fei watched eagerly, just as the red beam reached the tail end of the ne, a deafening rm suddenly rang out in the base, followed by the sound of whistles. Then, a multitude of military vehicles started their engines, driving towards the runway.

 Chapter 124 - 94: The Big Bank Heist

    Chapter 124: Chapter 94: The Big Bank Heist


    Yan Fei, following the map, arrived in Ginza, Tokyo, where Oogawa Bank was located right in the center of Ginza. Ginza is the most bustlingmercial district in Tokyo. Legend has it that this area used to be the sea, which waster filled in and reimed by Tokugawa Ieyasu, turning it into a ce for minting silver coins known as ¡°Ginza Ward Office.¡± Over time, it came to be called Ginza and earned the nickname ¡°the heart of Tokyo.¡±


    The Ginza Avenue spans one and a half kilometers, starting from Kyobashi in the north to Shinbashi in the south. Department stores and various shops line both sides of the avenue, specializing in high-end merchandise. Behind Ginza Avenue, there are many restaurants, snack shops, bars, and nightclubs.


    This was Yan Fei¡¯s first visit to Ginza, known as the most flourishing street in the ind nation, but domestic cities, especially Shanghai, were changing fast every day. The downtown area of Shanghai boasted even more prosperity than Ginza, so he wasn¡¯t shocked by the bustle here. Pretending to browse through the streets, he walked around Oogawa Bank with a casual yet deliberate attention, keeping an eye on the surrounding area of the bank.


    Oogawa Bank was situated in a 36-story building called Oogawa Building, at the heart of Ginza, upying from the third basement floor to the fifth above-ground floor, while above the sixth floor were the office spaces of enterprises held by the Oogawa Family. ording to the markings on the building, Oogawa Bank¡¯s gold vault was on the third basement floor. Therefore, his target for this operation was right there. He began his reconnaissance, noting down some critical targets and data, then left the area to start formting hisbat n.


    Yan Fei used his Auxiliary Brain to connect to the inte and began searching for the structural blueprints of the building. To his surprise, he actually found the blueprints online and started familiarizing himself with the building¡¯syout. He then began to collect maps of Tokyo¡¯s underground pipelines and subway routes, paying special attention to those near this building, memorizing the pipelines and routes.


    In the afternoon, Yan Fei went up a mountain near Tokyo, found an abandoned mine pit, and reorganized the items in his Universal Space. He took out some of the less important items and temporarily stored them in the mine pit. He nned to steal precious metals tonight, so he needed the Universal Space. However, he had just filled the Universal Space with a lot of US military arsenal, making itpletely full. Thus, for tonight¡¯s operation, he had to clear enough space to carry out his ns.


    At nine in the evening, fully prepared, Yan Fei returned to the Oogawa Building in the center of Ginza. He concealed himself in darkness and observed Oogawa Bank from afar. Though the bank had already closed for the day, the surrounding security seemed quite strict, with guards patrolling intermittently while shining their shlights.


    Seeing the guards, Yan Fei couldn¡¯t help but let out a cold chuckle. He had breached US Military Bases with far tighter security than this;pared to those, the guards here seemed as simple as children ying house in a kindergarten.


    Yan Fei reaffirmed his n, changed into a set of US military bulletproof gear, donned a Ker helmet, then emerged from the darkness and walked toward the entrance of Oogawa Bank. As he approached the bank¡¯s entrance, two guards came out. With one hand on their police batons and the other stopping Yan Fei, they warned him not toe any closer. In a sudden move, Yan Fei charged forward, struck the guards¡¯ heads together with force, and knocked them unconscious in one move. These were ordinary people, no match for Yan Fei, who copsed on the ground with a thud.


    Yan Fei did not intend to infiltrate the bank silently this time, as the ce was crawling with surveince cameras, making it impossible to sneak in unnoticed. Instead, he nned a frontal assault, to breach the entrance, quickly reach the gold vault, aplish his goal, and then retreat before the enemy had time to react.


    After dealing with the two guards, Yan Fei rapidly advanced into the bank, pulling out a heavy machine gun capable of firingrge caliber bullets that he had stolen from the US arsenal, and started shooting at the bank¡¯s entrance ss. The entrance ss of Oogawa Bank was reinforced, even tougher than a concrete floor. But under the barrage of the heavy machine gun, it began to crack and was eventually shattered by therge caliber bullets. Holding the machine gun, Yan Fei quickly stormed into the bank.


    By that time, the bank¡¯s security monitoring room noticed something was amiss. Without hesitation, they triggered the rm and called the police. A loud rm sounded inside the bank, but Yan Fei turned a deaf ear and, following the route he had surveilled during the day and the building¡¯s structural map, made a rapid advance toward the underground gold vault.


    Along the way, security personnel appeared continuously, each armed to some degree. However, due to regtions, they all carried pistols with small caliber bullets, hardly a threat to Yan Fei, making them ineffectual.


    After so many battles, Yan Fei¡¯s strength had evolved tremendously. His movements were as fast as lightning, allowing him to take down the security personnel with machine gun fire before they even had a chance to shoot back.


    Yan Fei pushed forward like a force of nature; although Oogawa Bank imed to be tightly guarded, it was only equipped to ward off ordinary criminals. Facing a ferocious assant like Yan Fei, the pitiful inside defenses were incapable of stopping his advance.


    The guards whom Yan Fei effortlessly eliminated set an example for the others: those who resisted were immediately killed. Thus, the remaining guards, intimidated, dared not approach Yan Fei, let alone obstruct his path. They opted instead for a defensive strategy, hoping that the police, upon receiving the rm, would promptly dispatchbat personnel to either kill or capture the invader Yan Fei.


    @@novelbin@@


    Yan Fei followed the route he had scoped out in advance and quickly reached the underground vault three levels below. To enter the vault from the outside, there was a metal door. The bank had just discovered Yan Fei¡¯s invasion and shut this metal door from the inside, blocking Yan Fei¡¯s progress.


    Yan Fei stood in front of the metal door, withdrew the heavy machine gun, and began to search in the Universal Space. He soon found an RPG rocketuncher and ammunition from the US Forces¡¯ military arsenal. After loading the RPG rocket, he aimed at the metal door and fired the rocket, swiftly taking cover around the corner of the corridor as he did so. Then he heard a violent explosion behind him, followed by a st of air that sent Yan Fei rolling several times on the ground.


    Yan Fei climbed to his feet and looked back, seeing that the metal door that had obstructed his path now had a huge hole blown through it. Judging by the thickness of the steel, he would not have been able to break through the metal door without using the RPG rocket. He entered through the metal door, which led to the entrance of the vault. However, the vault door was tightly shut, and with no one around, he had no way to open it.


    But Yan Fei had anticipated this issue. He once again took out arge amount of C4 explosives from the Universal Space, which he had stolen from a US Airbase the night before. He stacked the explosives in front of the vault door and connected them in sequence. After retreating to a safe distance, hiding back around the corner of the corridor, he pressed the detonator. A deafening explosion ensued, shaking the entire building momentarily, and the vault below copsed, indicating the immense power of the st.


    Yan Fei took cover from a distance, but the st wave from the C4 explosion still left him in a very disheveled state. Fortunately, he hade prepared, and his bulletproof vest and helmet protected him from any harm. He did not wait for the dust raised by the explosion to settle before rushing into the vault. He found that the entire vault had copsed from the explosives, yet there was still some room to enter where the vault door stood.


    The massive vault door was indeed sturdy; despite the explosion, it had not been blown open. Although the door itself remained intact, the walls around it had copsed, so the door had also fallen to the ground. A new problem arose with the copsed masonry blocking the passageway into the vault.


    If it had been anyone else, they would have been powerless in this situation, as the vault¡¯s entrance was sealed shut, making it impossible to retrieve anything from inside. However, for Yan Fei, these obstacles were no issue at all because he had the Universal Space.


    Yan Fei stepped forward, touched the vault door, and it disappeared in an instant, taken into the Universal Space. Then with a forceful motion, the door reappeared and flew behind him, kicking up a cloud of dust. He advanced again, taking a section of the copsed wall into the Universal Space and using it to toss the debris behind him. Incredibly quickly, Yan Fei cleared a path, allowing himself entrance into the vault.


    Although the outer walls of the vault had fallen, the inner walls were still incredibly strong and had not copsed. In any case, this was the best oue, sparing Yan Fei from the trouble of searching for what he needed amongst the ruins.


    In the center of the vaulty arge amount of Japanese Yen banknotes, seemingly at least a few hundred billion. The st had scattered the Yen all over the floor next to them, forming a carpet of currency. Alongside the heap of Yen, other currencies were strewn about, including US Dors, British Pounds, Euros, and even Chinese Coins, all piled up without any way to ascertain the exact amount.


    Seeing so much cash, Yan Fei swallowed hard, for he had never seen so much money in his life. But he quickly shifted his gaze; his objective that evening was not the cash but the gold and Rare Earth Metals within. So, he walked past the pile of cash and saw behind it a dazzling mountain of gold, which was the gold stored in the vault. Overjoyed, he eagerly grasped a gold bar and started cing it into the Universal Space.


    Having never seen so much gold, Yan Fei had no idea how much was there; his only concern was transferring it into the Universal Space. His movements were swift, and with the convenience provided by the Universal Space, he quickly moved all the gold inside. He then activated the Drone¡¯s virtual control screen and saw that the gold required for the Drone Upgrade was now fully satisfied.


    Having fulfilled the first condition, Yan Fei immediately headed deeper into the vault, where he found several sealed boxes with elemental names on them. Uponparison, he realized these were indeed the Rare Earth Metals he needed. He swiftly transferred these boxes into the Universal Space.


    Despite the huge number of boxes taking up a significant portion of the Universal Space, when Yan Fei saw that all the necessary materials for the Drone Upgrade had been collected, he was extremely pleased; his Drone could finally receive its next upgrade.


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


    Here¡¯s the second installment, I hope everyone enjoys!

 Chapter 125 - 95: The Third Upgrade

    Chapter 125: Chapter 95: The Third Upgrade


    Once Yan Fei had achieved the objective of this operation, he prepared to retreat immediately. The sound of police sirens was alreadying from outside, leaving him with little time. He quickly exited the gold vault, intending to leave the ce, but when he saw the cash piled on the ground outside, he couldn¡¯t help but grab some and store it in the Universal Space.


    The cash had originally been neatly bundled for easy pickup, but due to the shock waves from the explosion, it had been scattered all around. He was only able to grab a few handfuls of the high-denomination notes from the ground. Then, as the sound of police sirens grew nearer, he decisively gave up on collecting more cash and reluctantly evacuated the area.


    Just as Yan Fei was about to leave, he suddenly turned back, took out two gasoline barrels from the Universal Space, and poured the gasoline over the banknotes. Then he put the barrels back into the Universal Space, pulled out a lighter, lit it, and threw it into the gold vault. A ¡°boom¡± was heard as the gold vault burst into mes.


    By this time, the riot police who had received the rm had finally arrived on the scene. They stormed into the bank¡¯s entrance and began an assault towards the Underground Gold Vault, soon discovering the mes emerging from below.


    Yan Fei also noticed these police officers, but instead of attempting a forceful break through upstairs, he turned around and headed into the Toilet next to the gold vault. He took out C4 Explosives again, measured the distance, nted the explosives on the innermost wall of the Toilet, and detonated them. A loud explosion was heard, and arge hole was sted in the toilet wall, emitting white smoke, obscuring its depth. A look of joy appeared on Yan Fei¡¯s face, and he dived into the hole without hesitation.


    The big hole seemed somewhat dangerous, but to his surprise, he found a different heaven and earth inside ¨C a more than two-meter-tall underground tunnel filled with cables and pipes. He walked along the underground tunnel for over a hundred meters and then installed a piece of C4 on the wall of the tunnel, sting another hole. Through this hole, he found himself in the Subway tracks near Ginza. Just at that moment, a Subway train roared from behind. Yan Fei leapt onto the roof of the train; holding onto a protrusion on top, hey t as the train carried him forward.


    Yan Fei had studied the structural diagram of Oogawa Building and the nearby underground pipeline map while making hisbat n. After meticulous calction, he had designed a unique escape route. By using C4 Explosives to blow up gaps between several tunnels, he went inconceivably from the bank¡¯s Underground Gold Vault to a nearby Subway line.


    Two minutester, when the Subway reached the next station, Yan Fei jumped down from the top of the train and hid beside the tracks, starting to Change his disguise. He took out a set of clothes prepared in the Universal Space, removed the US Army Ker helmet and Bulletproof vest he was wearing, and transformed into a middle-aged man, bearing no resemnce to the bank robber who had stormed into Oogawa Bank earlier. Not only was his facial features different, but his age and height were alsopletely altered. After a thorough check with no ws found, Yan Fei walked into the station ahead and merged into the crowd of disembarking passengers, heading towards the exit.


    As Yan Fei was about to approach the Subway exit, he saw a squad of police officers suddenly arriving by car in the distance, setting up a police cordon at the Subway exit, preventing the travelers there from leaving. Apparently, the riot police had finally breached into Oogawa Bank¡¯s Underground Gold Vault amidst the inferno, only to find no sign of the robbers who should have been below. They searched around and soon discovered the sted tunnel in the Toilet. Once they entered the pipeline channel, they realized they were in the Subway line nearby.


    The riot police quickly realized that the robber had used this channel to sessfully blend in among the Subway passengers. They started calling for backup, and arge number of police officers were dispatched, swiftly establishing control at several Subway exits in an attempt to find the robber amongst them. Although Yan Fei had worn a Ker helmet during his operation, he hadn¡¯t covered his face, so the police had locked onto the suspect¡¯s photo through the bank¡¯s surveince footage. The officers began checking the disembarking passengers against the photo of the robber.


    The Japanese, although unsatisfied at being stopped and unable to leave, didn¡¯t cause any trouble and lined up as instructed by the police, waiting for their checks. Yan Fei couldn¡¯t help but admire the disciplined nature of the Japanese, who maintained order even under such circumstances. However, the photos the police had received of the robber were intentionally left by Yan Fei, and with his significantly altered appearance, the police wouldn¡¯t recognize him.


    But after receiving a phone call, the police began to strictly check the identity documents of the passengers disembarking. Anyone found with problematic identification was immediately taken into the police cars parked aside. Yan Fei didn¡¯t have any Japanese identity documents, so he couldn¡¯t sneak out in the confusion. Thinking quickly, he stepped back quietly, hiding himself above the staircase, then pulled out a big wad of the 10,000 Japanese Yen banknotes he had just stored from the Universal Space, flinging them towards the exit with force.


    @@novelbin@@


    Suddenly, the sky was filled with Japanese Yen banknotes. Not knowing who was the first to spot the money, an excited shout erupted: ¡°Look, there¡¯s money falling from the sky!¡±

 Chapter 128 - 96: Dominating the World_2

    Chapter 128: Chapter 96: Dominating the World_2


    The only regret was that the Merit Points for the Drone before were 12,163, After fulfilling the upgrade requirement of 10,000 points, there was a surplus of 2,163 points. However, after the Drone upgraded to Level 4, these surplus Merit Points were reset to zero, resulting in a loss of 2,163 Merit Points.


    After this upgrade, the volume of the Universal Space became 1,000 cubic meters, which was a tenfold increasepared to before. Now it looked like a square space with each side measuring 10 meters in length, width, and height. The previous Universal Space had be extremely cramped after storing spare Items, to the point where he even had to clear out space and eliminate some spare Items during the bank robbery Task. But after the upgrade, those Items only upied a tiny corner of the Universal Space, making the entire area appear very spacious.


    The expansion of the Universal Space allowed Yan Fei to carry more Items with him, offering more options for use during operations and making his life more convenient. What puzzled Yan Fei, however, was that even after this Drone Upgrade, there was still no exnation as to why the Portable Space was called Universal Space and with whom it was supposed to be universal. Nevertheless, he could onlyfort himself with the thought that maybe the Drone¡¯s next upgrade would resolve the mystery that had been troubling him all along.


    The Drone, after its upgrade, had taken on the appearance of a US Air Force¡¯s F-15 Fighter. Calling it a Drone was no longer entirely urate. Because at the front of the Fighter, there was now a spacious Cockpit, and Yan Fei could sit inside it and fly along with the aircraft.


    Of course, there were no instruments inside the Drone¡¯s Cockpit, so there were no actual piloting controls. It still required Yan Fei¡¯s consciousness for operation, so it was still somewhat appropriate to call it a Drone. Since the virtual control screen continued to disy it as a Drone, Yan Fei also continued to refer to it by its previous name.


    With this Cockpit, Yan Fei effectively had his own Private Airne, and from now on, he could move along with the Drone instead of having to hang from its rack as before, avoiding the difort of rain and wind and enjoyingfortable travels. He no longer had to worry about his whereabouts being detected when flying long distances onmercial Airnes. Sitting inside the Aircraft, there was no issue of Control Distance, and as long as there were enough Energy Points, the Drone could fly to any ce in the world. If he wanted to enter Japan again, he wouldn¡¯t need to take a ferry; flying there directly in the Drone would be very convenient.


    Just by the data, the Level 4 Drone was slightlyrger than the United States¡¯ authentic F-15 Fighter. Yan Fei calcted some data and found that the Drone was about 20%rger than the F-15. Whether it was the body length, width, height, weight, payload, maximum speed, and so on, all increased by 20%, meaning the Drone was essentially an Enhanced version of the F-15. Like before, the Drone also had no paintwork, preventing Yan Fei from perfectly impersonating US Forces and ming his actions on them seamlessly.


    Among these data, what Yan Fei cared about the most was the flight speed of the Drone. The previous Predator Drone was beaten by some faster Fighter Jets because its speed was too slow, and its Missiles couldn¡¯t shoot down those jets. If it wasn¡¯t for its extraordinarybat capabilities, along with the enemies¡¯ unfamiliarity with its performance, andbined with Yan Fei¡¯s precise calctions and shameless surprise attacks, it would not have been able to shoot down so many jets and thus gain enough Upgrade Merit Points.


    The top speed of the Level 4 Drone had reached 3 times the speed of sound, or 3,672 kilometers per hour. With this speed, the Drone could catch up to the majority of Fighter Jets in the world. This advantage in speed made it much more convenient whether pursuing an enemy or escaping. Coupled with its Flight Altitude reaching 30,000 meters, the Drone¡¯sbat capabilities had greatly improved.


    The original F-15 Fighter¡¯s weapon racks were numerous, with a total of 11, giving it an exceptional weapon carrying capacity. After the Drone was upgraded and mutated based on the F-15 Fighter temte, it inherited the F-15¡¯s weapon racks, maintaining the count of 11. However, the number of weapons each rack could carry increased fourfold, making for a terrifying total weapon capacity of 44.


    Following the upgrade, the model of weapons used by the Drone also advanced. While the anti-tank missile model remained the AGM-114 (Hellfire), both the missile¡¯s power and range had doubled. Under the assault of the mutated Hellfire missile, no ground armor would escape unscathed.


    Corresponding to the Hellfire anti-tank missile was the Air-to-Air Missile. After the Drone¡¯s upgrade, the model of the Air-to-Air Missiles also changed, bing the F-15 standard AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile. The AIM-120 is the US Army¡¯s most advanced Air-to-Air Missile, with immense power and a maximum attack range of 75 kilometers; its speed reaches Mach 4. Yan Fei¡¯s Predator Drone had previously been chased and harried by such missiles. But once the upgraded Drone began to be equipped with these missiles, it was time for its enemies to experience that kind of embarrassment.


    As before, there was a limit to the number of missiles the Drone could fire daily, which was 44. But at the time ofunching, it could choose which type of missile to fire, whether anti-tank missiles or AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles.


    @@novelbin@@


    In addition to the two types of missiles, the Drone¡¯s 30 millimeter Vulcan Gun was still retained, and their number had even doubled, with one mounted outside of each air intake. Each Vulcan Gun had its own supply of 1800 rounds of ammunition, with types including armor-piercing rounds, high-explosive rounds, and incendiary rounds. The ammunition type could be switched as needed during an attack, but the total ammunition was controlled, limited to 3600 rounds. Each Vulcan Gun could fire a maximum of 1800 Cannon Rounds, and together, both guns could discharge a total of 3600 Cannon Rounds.


    With the addition of these two powerful Vulcan Guns and the urate targeting of Quantum Radar, the Drone still possessed formidable close-range airbat abilities, able to destroy more iing missiles, making it an important means of missile defense for the Drone.


    The Drone¡¯s special abilities were also retained, namely vertical takeoff andnding and the ability to submerge in the sea. Upon entering the sea, the Drone would automatically transform into a more streamlined shape conducive to underwater operations. Once submerged, the Drone gained the ability tounch torpedoes shaped like AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles, bestowing upon it the capability for underwaterbat. Although these torpedo-shaped missiles had reduced power¡ªonly 80% of the full version¡ªtheir strength was still formidable underwater. With this method, upon encountering enemy submarines again, the Drone would be capable of sinking them and would no longer be helpless as it was against Japan¡¯s Soryu-ss Submarines.


    The Quantum Radar, which most significantly enhanced the Drone¡¯sbat power, had its scanning range doubled to 1000 kilometers, allowing it to detect iing targets earlier and prepare battle ns in advance. Although powerful, activating the Quantum Radar for extensive scans also significantly raised the consumption of Energy Points. This meant Yan Fei had to be cautious and economical every time he used the Quantum Radar to avoid wasting Energy Points. However, it was precisely because of the Quantum Radar that the Drone¡¯sbat power was greatly improved, allowing it to outss any other third-generation fighter jet.


    The only regret for Yan Fei was that the upgraded Drone stillcked stealth capabilities and could be detected by various radars, preventing him from doing as he pleased. But he soon came to terms with it, as the Drone¡¯s specs were powerfully impressive. With this fighter jet, he would truly reign supreme over the world.

 Chapter 130 - 97: China Special Agent_2

    Chapter 130: Chapter 97: China Special Agent_2


    Although the upgraded Drone¡¯s strength had greatly increased, it stillcked Stealth Ability and could be detected by various radars, much to Yan Fei¡¯s regret. He could only have the Drone fly at a low altitude, skimming the sea surface and using the radar¡¯s detection blind spots to avoid being tracked. Due to this concern, he was temporarily unable to grant the Drone free flight at an altitude of thirty thousand meters.


    Yan Fei continued to test the Drone¡¯s various data points. With a thought, the Drone emitted a loud sonic boom and began flying at supersonic speeds. He saw the Drone flying close to the sea surface at high speed, leaving behind a huge white line on the surface following it. The Drone, moving at three times the speed of sound, appeared a kilometer away in an instant, more than three times faster than the Level 3 Drone.


    Yan Fei reveled in the thrilling high-speed flight of the Drone when, with another thought, it showed exceptional maneuverability. In an instant, it went from high-speed flight to a stationary hover above the sea¡¯s surface. Then, the Drone turned downwards and dove into the sea. As it submerged, its body began to morph from the aerodynamicyout best suited for aerial flight to the streamlinedyout ideal for underwater navigation.


    Once the Drone entered the water, all eleven weapon racks beneath it retracted into the drone¡¯s body, and a Torpedouncher appeared directly below. Inside thisuncher was a torpedo, already primed forunch. This Torpedo was the underwater version of the AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile, although its power was only 80% of the original.


    The Drone sank to the sea floor and started scanning with its Quantum Radar, quickly locating a massive Reef. Yan Fei targeted the distant Reef andunched the Torpedo. Guided by the Quantum Radar, the Torpedo sped towards the Reef, leaving behind a long trail of bubbles.


    Twenty secondster, the Torpedo struck the Reef, releasing a muffled explosion that shattered it into several pieces. Yan Fei wasn¡¯t entirely satisfied with the Torpedo¡¯s attack power, but it was already a significant improvement over the previous limitations to using the Vulcan Gun for attacks. He tested again, and after using up eight Torpedoes, he finally obtained the Torpedo¡¯s attack data: a maximum speed of 200 kilometers/hour, a maximum range of 5 kilometers, and a maximum attack depth of 400 meters.


    The destructive power of this AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile version of the underwater Torpedo wasn¡¯t very significant; it wouldn¡¯t even pass muster in the world rankings of Torpedoes. However, it represented a huge breakthrough considering the previous circumstances where the Drone could only attack with the Vulcan Gun underwater; the Drone now possessed the capability to attack in the deep sea.


    After testing the Underwater Torpedoes system, Yan Fei began testing the Drone¡¯s Vulcan Gun, only to be disappointed that its power hadn¡¯t improved at allpared to before. However, now that he had Torpedoes suitable for actualbat, the shorings of the Vulcan Gun no longer weighed on his mind. Next, he began testing the Drone¡¯s underwater stealth data. After half an hour, the stealth data were also summarized: a maximum dive depth of 600 meters, a top underwater speed of 200 kilometers, and a maximum Quantum Radar detection distance underwater of 150 kilometers.


    Yan Fei regretted that during the tests, he had killed manyrge marine creatures, but still did not earn any Merit Points. In other words, marine life remained unable to provide Merit Points to the Drone, just as before. However, it didn¡¯t matter; with the Level 4 Drone, there would be plenty of opportunities to earn Merit Points, and he believed it wouldn¡¯t be slower than the upgrade pace of the Level 3 Drone.


    When the Drone flew in the air, it waspletely silent, not making any noise. However, once it submerged into the water, it began making sounds during its underwater journey. These sounds were not quiet and could be detected by various Sonar devices. The inability to remain stealthy underwater was an aspect of the Drone Yan Fei found regrettable, but the other formidable aspects of the Drone overshadowed this shoring.


    After thoroughly testing the Level 4 Drone¡¯s capabilities, Yan Fei had a deeper understanding of the Drone, which would help him maximize itsbat power. Upon finishing the tests, the Drone ascended to the sea surface, turned around, and started heading back towards the vicinity of Tokyo Downtown. Flying close to the ground, it carefully avoided the military Radar of Japan and the US Forces. It was the dead of night, and no one noticed this massive creature skimming across the ground.

    The Drone returned smoothly to the Mine cave where Yan Fei previously organized the Universal Space Items. It hovered at the entrance to the cave. Yan Fei jumped down from the Drone and entered the cave, finding his secret marks untouched, indicating that no one else had been there during that time. He entered deeper into the cave and started collecting the concealed Items into the Universal Space.


    The upgraded Drone General Space had reached a volume of 1000 cubic meters, expanding the storage space tenfold. When he had stored everything back into the Universal Space, he found that the Items only upied a small fraction of the avable Space. With such arge capacity, it would greatly facilitate his future actions, providing him with a broader range of options.


    After collecting the Items, Yan Fei carefully checked again, erasing any traces left in the cave. He had wanted to set the ce on fire topletely destroy any remaining evidence, but the Gasoline stored in the Universal Space had been used up. He also considered using Explosives to blow up the cave, but that would create too much noise and could easily draw the attention of Japanese authorities, so he reluctantly abandoned the idea.

 Chapter 131 - 97 China Special Agent_3

    Chapter 131: Chapter 97 China Special Agent_3


    After cleaning up any traces he might have left in Japan, Yan Fei returned to the Drone and activated it for a stealth flight, hugging the ground as he made his way back out to the open sea. His mission in Japan had beenpleted beyond expectations, but various unexpected events and emergencies kept him in the country for over a week. To maintain secrecy, he hadn¡¯t made contact with Lu Pingping back in China during this time, and had no idea how the domestic situation at the Company had developed; he was starting to miss hispany and friends back home.


    So as soon as hepleted his mission, Yan Fei decided to return to China immediately. Originally, the safest choice would have been to let the Drone make its way underwater back to China at a slow pace. However, Yan Fei found the underwater pace of the Drone too slow and chose to have it fly at a low altitude near the sea surface to quickly advance toward China.


    As the Drone skimmed over the sea heading westward, Yan Fei suddenly remember the task entrusted to him by that Chinese female Special Agent ¨C the USB drive in his possession. At that time, the woman had said that if she hadn¡¯t sought him out within three days, he was to deliver the USB drive to a Warehouse at the Port of Tokyo. Yan Fei had agreed.


    Now prepared to return home, Yan Fei knew the female Special Agent wouldn¡¯t find him in Japan, and he had no intention of visiting the Warehouse at the Port of Tokyo either. Being in Japan, even with the Drone¡¯s upgrade to Level 4, remained dangerously risky. Thus, he intended to bring the USB drive back with him and then hand it over to the nation through other channels, which would be a way of indirectly fulfilling the female Special Agent¡¯s request.


    With that decision made, the Drone continued its flight westward. But after flying for a while, Yan Fei considered another possibility: he had decided not to go to that Warehouse, but that didn¡¯t ensure that other Chinese Special Agents wouldn¡¯t be there waiting; after all, the data on the USB drive was extremely valuable, and they must retrieve it toplete the task assigned by their country.


    If those agents didn¡¯t find Yan Fei at the Warehouse, might they think something had happened to him and thenunch another operation in Japan to recover the USB drive? At this time, Japan, tense because of Yan Fei¡¯s own actions, might be a trap leading to severe losses.


    This thought made Yan Fei feel troubled. He wasn¡¯t going to meet those Chinese Special Agents at the Warehouse, but he could at least warn them to leave the area to avoid being discovered by the Japanese and incur heavy losses. For those willing to sacrifice themselves for the country, he still held considerable respect.


    Consequently, under Yan Fei¡¯s control, the Drone turned around and headed towards Tokyo Bay.


    The Drone sped like lightning and soon flew into Tokyo Bay. Upon entering Tokyo Bay, the Drone submerged to the seabed and swiftly headed toward the Port of Tokyo. This being one of the busiest sea routes in the world, even low-altitude flight over the water surface would lead to it being spotted by Ships, thus revealing its track.


    Shortly after, the Drone arrived at the Port of Tokyo; hidden beneath the sea, it initiated the Quantum Radar and performed aprehensive scan of the vicinity. To its discovery, the area around the Warehouse at the Port of Tokyo was brightly lit, with US and Japanese military soldiers fully armed surrounding arge Warehouse. In front of the Warehouse, more than a dozen US Forces M1A2 main battle tanks were parked, and several Apache Armed Helicopters were circling overhead, with Fighter Jets on alert above them.

 Chapter 132 - Ninety-Eight: Powerful Combat Power

    Chapter 132: Chapter Ny-Eight: Powerful Combat Power


    Seeing this grand scene, Yan Fei was instantly shocked. What exactly was going on? Could it be that these US and Japanese forces were setting an ambush for him here? Then, through the drone¡¯s sound collection system, he heard a voice outside. A US military officer was using a loudspeaker to shout in English towards the warehouse.


    ¡°Attention, those inside, you are surrounded. We have formidable firepower, so don¡¯t even think about escaping. Come out and surrender peacefully, hand over the USB drive you have to us, and we promise to ensure your safety and release you. Otherwise, we won¡¯t hesitate to kill you. Remember, we are not the police; we are the army, and our patience is limited. I¡¯m giving you three minutes to consider. If you refuse to surrender, we will attack.¡±


    It was then that Yan Fei realized that it was the people inside the warehouse who were surrounded by the US and Japanese forces, not him. He checked the address and discovered that this warehouse was the one the female special agent had left for him. The people surrounded inside must be the special agent and her colleagues. He just didn¡¯t know what had tipped them off to be surrounded by US and Japanese forces, who were now attempting to persuade them to surrender.


    Yan Fei understood that these Chinese special agents were definitely waiting here for him toe and retrieve the USB drive toplete the mission. However, the US and Japanese forces did not know that the USB drive was no longer in their hands. After locating them, they surrounded them, still seeking the lost USB drive. What they didn¡¯t expect was that the USB drive was currently residing in Yan Fei¡¯s Universal Space. Unless Yan Fei was willing, no one could take the USB drive from him.


    Yan Fei hade here to warn these Chinese special agents because he was worried about them, only to find he was a step toote; they were already surrounded by US-Japan Joint Forces. In the past, Yan Fei would have hesitated to decide whether to rescue these special agents, as his strength was limited at the time. But after the Drone Upgrade to Level 4, and with his overall strength skyrocketing, he wouldn¡¯t consider it¡ªhe chose to act directly.


    After the US military officer finished shouting, he waited for three minutes, but there was no response from the warehouse. Clearly, the Chinese special agents refused to surrender and did not want tomunicate with the US and Japanese forces. The US military officer was somewhat disappointed and was about to issue an order for the army to attack when he saw an F-15 Fightering in fast from the sea at the Port of Tokyo. The jet was quickly approaching overhead.


    The US military officer was puzzled. For this operation, the US base in Japan dispatched four fighter jets for fire support: two F-16s and two F-15s. These four jets were now patrolling above their heads. Why was there suddenly another F-15 jet appearing? Could it be that another friendly unit was performing another task here? But why wasn¡¯t he informed?


    While the US military officer was confused, he saw the fast-approaching F-15 deploying its underside weapons rack sh with a burst of fire¡ªa missile swiftlyunched, targeting the US fighter jet still circling in the sky. Before he could react, the F-15unched another missile, once again targeting his overhead US fighter jet. Then, the F-15 fired two more missiles, all aimed at the US fighter jets in the sky.


    It was at this moment that the US military officer suddenly realized; the F-15 was an enemy. He immediately shouted over themunication channel: ¡°Attention, enemy jet! Prepare forbat immediately.¡±


    After the Drone Upgrade, the Weapon system was also upgraded. This time, itunched the AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile. This type of missile was the main airbat missile of the US Forces, with Flight Speed reaching a terrifying Mach 4. The four jets¡¯ Radars had already detected the iing F-15, but they were equally unclear about the details of this jet, so they were waiting for orders from the Command Center when they found that the F-15 was unexpectedly attacking them.


    The AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles flew swiftly. In an instant, they caught up with the US fighter jets in the sky. By then, without needing any reminders, the US fighter jets knew they had encountered an enemy. However, these US pilots were well-trained, and despite missiles flying towards them, they did not panic. Instead, they dodged ording to their tactical training and released Decoy res in an attempt to deceive the iing missiles.


    @@novelbin@@


    What these US fighter jets did not anticipate was that the AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile was navigated by the mysterious Quantum Radar. In the Quantum Radar¡¯s scan, the Decoy res could not deceive it. Naturally, the AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile ignored the decoys and headed straight for the US fighter jets. At the high speed of Mach 4, the four US Fighter Jets had no escape and were all caught by the missiles. Then, four fireballs lit up in the sky as all four US fighter jets were blown up in midair. Because of the suddenness of the event, the pilots inside the jets did not even have the chance to Ejector Parachute, and they perished along with their aircraft.


    Afterunching the missiles at the US fighter jets, Yan Fei fired another three AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles at the Apache Armed Helicopters hovering in the sky. The Quantum Radar could lock onto a thousand targets simultaneously and could attack fifty of them at once, so Yan Fei could haveunched 44 missiles at the US-Japan forces below in an instant. However, to keep thebat power of the drone a secret, Yan Fei did notunch too many missiles to attack all the targets at once.

    The sortie not only served as a warning to those Chinese special agents and earned Yan Fei arge number of Merit Points, but it also demonstrated the tremendous power of the Level 4 Drone. Yan Fei felt extremely pleased. After taking out the Chinese-Japanese army below, he piloted the Drone towards the sea surface of Tokyo Bay. Once the Drone was far from the city area, it dived back into the sea and headed towards China. It wasn¡¯t until the Drone had put a considerable distance between itself and thend of Japan that it resurfaced and sped towards Shanghai at low altitude.


    @@novelbin@@


    By 3 a.m. Shanghai time, the Drone finally returned to the offshore waters of Shanghai. The Drone activated its Quantum Radar and surveyed the situation off the coast of Shanghai, thennded in a secluded spot along the Shanghai coast, avoiding the busier areas. Yan Fei jumped out of the Drone Cockpit and took out a Motorcycle from the Universal Space, racing home. Meanwhile, the Drone sank its nose and dived back beneath the waves, lying in wait near the coastal waters of Shanghai.


    Yan Fei happily returned to China, but behind him, Japan was in turmoil, the ripple effects of his actions beginning to appear one by one.


    The Oogawa Family was shrouded in gloom and despair, as they had mobilized their Strength to hunt down Yan Fei but failed to capture him, which resulted in the disappearance of Hideo Oogawa, their pride, and has not yet returned to the family. Hideo Oogawa was the pride of the Oogawa Family and the idol of the family¡¯s youth, never before having gone missing for so long, which left the entire Oogawa Family with an ominous premonition.


    The Oogawa Family¡¯s bad premonition wasn¡¯t wrong: Hideo Oogawa had attempted to capture Yan Fei but was instead killed in retaliation. His body was pressed by Yan Fei into the crevices of the seabed¡¯s rocks, never to see the light of day again. Hideo Oogawa was destined to be listed as missing in the Oogawa Family, and his whereabouts would be an eternal mystery¡­


    When it rains, it pours. Just as the Oogawa Family worried about Hideo Oogawa¡¯s safety, the Oogawa Bank, a core enterprise of the family, was hit with devastating news¡ªit had been robbed. The bank robber not only forcefully entered the bank¡¯s vault and stole arge amount of precious metals but also destroyed the vault with explosives and set it on fire, causing severe losses to the bank.


    The riot police arrived at the scene of the crime quickly and even established a blockade at several key intersections where the robber might have escaped, but in the end, they failed to catch any suspects. Moreover, the Oogawa Building suffered severe damage from the explosion and fire, with massive cracks appearing in the walls and the electronic Equipment unable to function¡ªrendering the building unusable.


    The disappearance of an important family member, the vanishing of the murderer who consecutively killed direct members of the Oogawa Family, and the significant losses caused by the bank robbery¡ªall these events infuriated Yohei Oogawa, the n Leader. However, after his anger subsided, he had no choice but to once again seek help from Takashi Hasegawa, one of the Four Major Famous detectives of Japan.


    However, the Oogawa Family¡¯s operation to encircle Yan Fei in Fishwoman Mountain yielded no useful clues, and the rainstorm that night had washed away all traces at the scene, leaving even the highly deductive Takashi Hasegawa powerless. He only deduced from the remaining traces that Hideo Oogawa might have met his demise and that the person who killed him was the same mysterious murderer who had killed Ryoko Oogawa and Jo Oogawa.


    Although the Oogawa Family had located the house in the Tokyo Suburbs where Yan Fei had rented, it mysteriously copsed during the storm that night, before they had the chance to inspect it. ording to Japan¡¯s construction Strength and Lifespan, such a rare storm shouldn¡¯t have caused the building to copse, but it did, very thoroughly. When Takashi Hasegawa began inspecting the copsed house, he found nothing¡ªthe storm had destroyed all useful leads.


    Hence, Takashi Hasegawa began investigating nearby residents for information about the mysterious murderer, but Yan Fei had altered his appearance when he moved in and had no interactions with his neighbors. He stayed inside once home, so the neighbors had no impression of him whatsoever. Unable to glean useful clues from the local residents, Takashi Hasegawa turned his investigation towards the real-estate agency that helped Yan Fei rent the house, only to discover that all the information Yan Fei had stored with the agency was fake.


    Thus, all traces of Yan Fei in Japan were erased. Even with Takashi Hasegawa¡¯s terrifying deduction skills, he couldn¡¯tpletely piece together the murderer¡¯s information, let alone find the mysterious murderer. But after analyzing the existing data, Takashi Hasegawa concluded that the mysterious murderer was very likely a foreigner, and given the murderer¡¯s actions, he likely harbored a hatred for Japanese people. Looking at his Asian face, the likelihood that he was Chinese was the highest. Moreover, the fact that the murderer specifically targeted the Oogawa Family suggested that the murderer must be an enemy of the Oogawa Family in China.


    After reaching this conclusion, Takashi Hasegawa suggested to Yohei Oogawa to start investigating the enemies of the Oogawa Family in China, as this method might help lock down the murderer behind the recent crime spree. Takashi Hasegawa had already learned of the existence of the strong through the Oogawa Family and knew about Hideo Oogawa¡¯s fearsome Strength, so he personally believed that the murderer was probably already dead alongside Hideo Oogawa, and the Oogawa Family¡¯s investigation was a waste of time. However, this was just a guess without any concrete evidence, and naturally, Takashi Hasegawa didn¡¯t voice it.

    Consequently, the Prime Minister of Japan immediately flew to The United States of America to meet with the new President. During the previous few encounters, the new President of The United States had treated the Prime Minister of Japan as if he were a pet, causing the Prime Minister great embarrassment, but the Prime Minister had borne the insult with a smile and a warm wee. However, this time, with Japanese interests at stake, the Prime Minister was no longer silent and became somewhat defiant, leading to the two conducting their talks behind closed doors in front of the media. Two hourster, when they both emerged, journalists saw that both men were fuming, signaling that the talks had not been productive and had instead escted the tensions between the two nations.


    At their departure, the two leaders shook hands, and the normally docile Prime Minister of Japan suddenlyshed out, utilizing the Mighty Eagle w Technique he had been practicing in private for quite some time, gripping the President of The United States¡¯ hand tightly. The President of The United States was taken aback and quickly retaliated, using excessive force that turned his face a shade of bright red.


    Then, the Prime Minister of Japan left with haughty arrogance, while the President of The United States quickly withdrew his hand behind his back, maintaining an inscrutable appearance. However, their handshake had already been captured by the media, and when journalists checked the photos on theirputers afterward, they noticed several white marks on the President¡¯s hand where the Prime Minister had gripped him. It seemed that the President¡¯s notorious handshake had finally met its match¡­


    As for the USB drive containing China¡¯s top-secret information that was not seized, and the incident that same evening involving the sudden appearance and rapid disappearance of thetest model F-15 Fighter that massacred soldiers from both The United States and Japan, the two countries still conducted a detailed exchange and analysis of intelligence in private. After all, they believed this incident was different from the drone affair and should not extend the displeasure from the drone incident to this matter.


    However, in their analysis, they discovered that the information collected was somewhat chaotic, so no matter how they analyzed it, they could not figure out what exactly had happened. Fortunately, they had not linked this incident to Yan Fei¡¯s Level 3 Drone¡­


    Inside China, Yan Fei had not paid attention to the events that transpired after he left Japan; even if he had noticed, he wouldn¡¯t have cared. Once back home, he finally rxed the tension he had been carrying and was able to sleep soundly without worrying about being attacked at any moment.


    So, on the first night back in China, Yan Fei slept soundly and even had a dream. Yet, when he woke up at noon the next day, he found himself staring nkly at his bedside. He remembered that something had happened in his dream, something of great importance to him that had cleared many of his doubts, but upon waking, he had forgotten everything. He had now grasped some of the mysteries of spiritual power, which greatly enhanced his memory¡ªthere was hardly anything he could forget, except for the dream.


    Yan Fei tried hard to recollect the dream but could not remember what he had experienced in it, let alone the significant matter. After staring nkly for a while, he suddenly found it somewhat amusing. Why was he so determined to remember something from a dream? He had forgotten countless dreams before, and they never seemed to impact his life in any significant way. So, he happily decided to forget about it and then headed off to the Dream Technology Company, where he had been absent for quite some time.@@novelbin@@

    Some time ago, Ryoko Oogawaunched an attack on Dream Foods over the Inte, and domestic investmentpanies saw Dream Foods teetering on the brink of copse. Some disappeared, but others, smelling blood in the water, pressed to lower their investment offers even further, hoping to snatch up more shares of Dream Foods at bargain prices. Naturally, thesepanies were all unceremoniously shown the door by Yan Fei.


    Just when the trouble with Dream Foods had been resolved, these investmentpanies reappeared. Not only were there domesticpanies, but even international VCpanies showed up. Yan Fei actually understood the mentality of these VC firms very well; his Weight Loss Cookies were too impressive, boasting huge market potential and substantial profits, and who wouldn¡¯t want a piece of that? However, as the owner of Dream Foods, Yan Fei would rather transfer his shares to Lu Pingping for free than let these vampires benefit undeservedly. But Lu Pingping didn¡¯t care for his shares at all, leaving him amused and somewhat exasperated.


    Yan Fei thought for a moment, then said, ¡°I have time today; let¡¯s meet with them.¡±


    Lu Pingping was curious, ¡°Do you really intend to bring in their investment?¡±


    Yan Feiughed, ¡°I¡¯m not that brain-dead. I just want to tell them personally that I don¡¯t need their investment, to make them give up and stop bothering you every day.¡±


    Lu Pingping gave Yan Fei a look and personally went to arrange the meeting between Yan Fei and the representatives of the investmentpanies. Seeing that look from Lu Pingping made Yan Fei nostalgic. Back in the Zhen Dan University Genius ss, Lu Pingping was still somewhat green andcked sophistication. He hadn¡¯t expected that after a few years of not seeing her, she would have transformed into an incredibly charismatic and charming woman.


    Soon, in the Dream Technology Company¡¯s conference room, Yan Fei met with representatives from several investmentpanies, which included both foreigners and Chinese people.


    These VCpany delegates had always wanted to meet Dream Technology¡¯s owner, Yan Fei, but had been blocked by Lu Pingping with various excuses. However, they weren¡¯t discouraged and persisted in visiting every day. Today they finally got their wish to meet Yan Fei, which filled them with joy.


    Yan Fei rarely appeared in front of the media, so few people had seen him in person. However, these VCpany representatives had already witnessed Yan Fei¡¯s prowess in a video of his Taekwondo battle that was circting on the Inte. Now, meeting him in person, they suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure emanating from him that turned their initial tion into unease.


    @@novelbin@@


    After the Drone reached Level 4, the power within Yan Fei¡¯s body surged once again. Previously, he had believed that the enhancement of strength due to martial arts was merely an increase in physical power. It wasn¡¯t until exined by Coach Wang Yong did he realize that the increase was due to the exercise and fortification of various tissues and organs within his body. Conversely, this enhancement allowed him perfect control over the tissues and organs of his body.


    From Coach Wang Yong, Yan Fei learned about the three realms of martial arts: the Acquired Realm, the Innate Realm, and the Divine Realm. When the Drone was at Level 3, he felt he had already reached the peak of the Acquired Realm, which was evident when he was free-falling in the sky, perfectly controlling his body to battle Hideo Oogawa in mid-air. ording to Wang Yong, once a person reaches the peak of the Acquired Realm, their physical strength would no longer increase. The next step would be entering the Innate Realm, beginning the integration of internal strength.


    Hideo Oogawa was an expert of the Innate Realm; his casual punches and kicks integrated the strength from other tissues and organs in his body, yielding incredible power. Thus, even though Yan Fei was already very strong, he felt outmatched by Hideo Oogawa because he was countering Hideo¡¯s full body strength with just a portion of his own, naturally putting him at a disadvantage in terms of power.


    However, after the Drone advanced to Level 4, Yan Fei¡¯s strength doubled once more, reaching 16 times what it had been initially. His strength naturally entered the Innate Realm, and his next goal was to fuse all his physical strength and release a tremendous destructive force, with a single punch demonstrating extreme power, truly reflecting his superhuman strength.


    The only surprise for Yan Fei was that, ording to Wang Yong, his strength was not supposed to increase any further after reaching the peak of the Acquired Realm. However, under the influence of the mysterious Drone, his strength had doubled again, far surpassing that of a typical expert in the Innate Realm, highlighting the Drone¡¯s enigmatic nature.


    Upon entering the Innate Realm, Yan Fei¡¯s control over his own tissues and organs became even more natural. The action of using his ear muscles to block his ears was effortless for him. Controlling the muscles of his face and vocal cords was an even smaller issue, so in preparation for meeting the VCpany representatives, he started adjusting his facial muscles. Without changing his appearance, he made himself look more intimidating, not giving these people a chance to pressure him.


    When the representatives of the VCpanies finally saw Yan Fei in the conference room, they were all taken aback by his fearsome expression. Even Lu Pingping was startled, but she quickly recovered and introduced both parties.


    As soon as Lu Pingping finished the introductions, a middle-aged Caucasian man stood up and said, ¡°Chairman Yan, hello! I¡¯m Grant Brawl from IDG Capital. Ourpany is very optimistic about Dream Foods, a subsidiary of your Dream Technology, and its production of Weight Loss Cookies. We would like to invest in yourpany.¡±

 Chapter 140 - 101: Breaking Surface

    Chapter 140: Chapter 101: Breaking Surface


    Hearing Zeppelin¡¯s words, Yan Fei almost threw down the document in his hands, angered by the audacity of Green Pine Capital. His Weight Loss Cookies were generating a sales volume of at least 100 million yuan per day domestically, amounting to no less than 36.5 billion yuan a year.


    Even though Yan Fei had Lu Pingping desperately inte the cost of producing the Weight Loss Cookies, the gross profit margin announced was still a horrifying 50%. In other words, on paper, Yan Fei wasting at least 18.25 billion yuan a year, close to 3 billion US dors when converted.


    Moreover, the actual cost of the Weight Loss Cookies was nowhere near as high, and its core ingredient, the Slimming liquid, hardly counted as a cost. The only significant expenditure was thebor cost when Yan Fei was making the Slimming liquid. Thus, the pure profit margin of these cookies was at least 75%, which means that Yan Fei was making pure profits of at least 27.5 billion yuan a year, or more than 4 billion US dors when converted. These were pure profits, after-tax ie that, if made public, would shock everyone.


    Yet Green Pine Capital aimed to secure a 40% stake in Dream Technology with just 2 billion US dors, which was basically like trying to rob Yan Fei of his money. What¡¯s more, this wasn¡¯t even for an outright purchase of shares but a capital injection, meaning the money would go into Dream Technology¡¯s registered capital, and Yan Fei couldn¡¯t pocket it directly. Green Pine Capital would also have its own 40% im on this money. So for an actual investment of 1.2 billion US dors, Green Pine Capital was obtaining a 40% share of the golden goose that was Dream Technology.


    It should be known that these data were only generated from the domestic market in China. The vast International Market was yet to be factored in. Once the Weight Loss Cookies were to start selling internationally, even if Yan Fei didn¡¯t raise the prices, sales would increase to at least five times the domestic foundation, with all relevant figures quintupling. This meant annual pure profits could reach as high as 127.5 billion yuan, which converted to over 20 billion US dors. Should Yan Fei increase his prices for overseas sales, his yearly profit would be even more tremendous.


    Green Pine Capital was preying on Dream Technology because it was a domesticpany,cking the capability to operate in international markets and the experience in international trade. They moved in early, using their fame and the international market to tempt Yan Fei and aim to take a big slice of Dream Foods on the cheap, truly ying a clever game. However, they had underestimated Yan Fei¡¯s resolve, and thus their attempt was destined to end in disappointment.


    Yan Fei didn¡¯t look at the document in his hands; he tossed it back to Zeppelin and said, ¡°Mr. Zeppelin, I¡¯m sorry, but as I¡¯ve already said, your side represents an American investment bank. Given the current rtions between the United States of America and our country, we will not ept any capital injections from America.¡±

    Zeppelin gave a smile and said, ¡°Mr. Yan, don¡¯t be so absolute! We are all in business to make money. Given that we¡¯re all here to profit, why can¡¯t we cooperate? Your Weight Loss Cookies are great, they should belong to all Humankind. Why should we be confined by the barriers between China and the United States? Together we can bring the Weight Loss Cookies to the entire World, benefiting humanity while we profit in the process. It¡¯s that simple, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Suddenly, Yan Feiughed out loud. Seeing everyone looking at him, he quickly said, ¡°Excuse me, I just couldn¡¯t help butugh at the joke Mr. Zeppelin made. Don¡¯t you find it funny?¡±


    Seeing that everyone seemed puzzled, Yan Fei said seriously, ¡°When China needed your chips, you wouldn¡¯t sell them to us; when we needed your software, you discontinued service without notice. When did you ever consider that these products also belong to all Humankind? So when I heard Mr. Zeppelin remark that my Weight Loss Cookies belong to all Humankind, I thought it was funny, almost as if he were being ironic about America¡¯s actions.¡±


    Zeppelin, having been ridiculed by Yan Fei, turned red-faced but was unable to offer a rebuttal. After all, since the new President took office, American foreign policy had radically changed in the past few years, acting indecently without disguise, almost unting it, making it widely known. In essence, they were saying they could do certain things that others couldn¡¯t, and if the others tried, they¡¯d be punished. With the new American policies publicly exposing their hypocrisy, these sanctimonious American enterprises were no longer in a position to morally persuade others.


    Forcing himself to remain calm, Zeppelin said, ¡°Yan, we were talking about a business coboration that¡¯s mutually beneficial, so you shouldn¡¯t make fun of me. I believe that pure business should not be overly mixed with politics; it¡¯s not right.¡±


    Yan Fei replied sternly, ¡°Didn¡¯t the US Government restrict China¡¯s enterprises from investing in America in the name of national security? Didn¡¯t they politicize what should have been a simple business cooperation? So why is it suddenly ¡®not right¡¯ when ites out of your mouth? I¡¯m sorry, but for our national security, Dream Foods will also refuse any investment from American enterprises.¡±


    Zeppelin eximed loudly, ¡°Yan, that¡¯s unfair. When the US Government made that decision, Green Pine Capital actually opposed it strongly; we stood with China. But the President insisted, and we were helpless. So you can¡¯t reject our investment; we are on the same side.¡±

 Chapter 141 - 101: Breaking Off Pretense_2

    Chapter 141: Chapter 101: Breaking Off Pretense_2


    Yan Fei said with contempt, ¡°Isn¡¯t your President elected by you guys? Since he was elected by more than half of the American people, his actions represent the will of all Americans. So don¡¯t feel aggrieved, there are many more enterprises in the world that are more aggrieved than you are. If you really want to invest in Dream Foods, please ask the US Government to abolish the investment restrictions on China and end the trade war with us before we talk again. That¡¯s a matter of reciprocity.¡±


    Zeppelin argued, ¡°Our American restrictions on Chinese investments pertain to high-tech enterprises, which indeed concern our national security. But weight loss cookies are just ordinary consumer goods, designed for people to use in weight loss, so they¡¯repletely different from our American high-tech enterprises. You can¡¯t use a reciprocity mechanism to judge twopletely different things.¡±


    Yan Fei said sternly, ¡°You think your American high-tech enterprises concern national security, I believe our weight loss cookies also concern national security. Let me tell you the truth, our weight loss cookies contain a mysterious high-tech technology that can make the Sun shrink to the size of a thumb. When it¡¯s night for us, we can take out the Sun and use it as a light bulb, greatly alleviating our energy crisis. Such incredible and mysterious technologypletely blows away your American high-tech technology.¡±


    Lu Pingping, who was listening to Yan Fei¡¯s serious speech, couldn¡¯t help but let out a snort ofughter, but feeling the asion was inappropriate, she immediately shut her mouth. The representatives of the VCpanies around them exchanged nces; they could naturally tell Yan Fei was making things up on the spot. His refusal to invest was crystal clear.


    Zeppelin was also stunned for a moment before bing persuasive again, ¡°Mr. Yan, our US market is the biggest consumer market in the world. If you don¡¯t let us invest, your products won¡¯t be able to enter the US market. If they can¡¯t enter the US market, you will suffer significant losses. Are you really willing to refuse making money?¡±


    Yan Feiughed, ¡°You know, I was actually an otaku before, preferring to stay at home, so I¡¯m not someone with grand ambitions. I pursue a life of modestfort, so I¡¯m pretty satisfied with the current sales of the weight loss cookies and have no ns to expand production. If they cannot be sold in the US market, so be it; I won¡¯t have any regrets. By the way, I need to correct you, your information is a bit outdated. Our Chinese market has already surpassed the US market, bing the number one consumer market in the world.¡±


    Zeppelin was somewhat dumbfounded, finding it impossible tomunicate with Yan Fei. As a businessman, who in their right mind would reject profit? It was iprehensible to refuse money, an affront tomon sense! And in business, it¡¯smon to ask for the sky and pay on the ground; if you¡¯re unsatisfied with a n, you simply counter with a different price, there¡¯s nothing that can¡¯t be negotiated. But he never expected Yan Fei to tly reject his n, without even haggling over the price.


    However, Zeppelin quickly thought of his backup n. He pointed to a middle-aged Chinese man beside him and said, ¡°Mr. Yan, let¡¯s put aside our matter for now. Allow me to introduce Mr. Yang Wanlin, the representative from Green Channel Capital.¡±


    Then, Yang Wanlin stepped forward, saying politely, ¡°Chairman Yan, I am Yang Wanlin from Green Channel Capital.¡±


    Zeppelin continued, ¡°Mr. Yan, you were previously concerned that we were American capital and did not ept our investment. I personally understand, so I came up with a new n.¡±


    Yan Fei was somewhat curious. He had been so straightforward in his rejection, yet Zeppelin from Green Channel Capital wasn¡¯t giving up; what could he possiblye up with now?


    Seeing the curiosity in Yan Fei¡¯s eyes, Zeppelin said, ¡°The Green Channel Capital that Mr. Yang Wanlin represents is registered in the Cayman Inds. Although several VC firms are behind it, thergest shareholder is our Green Channel Company. Of course, no matter who investigates, they won¡¯t find any link between our Green Channel Company and this firm. Mr. Yang Wanlin is a renowned VC businessman in your country, and he has always proimed that Green Channel Capital is Chinese capital; the Chinese People also believe it is a Chinese enterprise. So you could choose to cooperate with Green Channel Capital, allowing them to invest in you, and we at Green Channel Company would still use our Inte to promote your weight loss cookies around the world. You can rest assured working with Green Channel Company would not touch upon your national limits, and no one would know you¡¯re cooperating with an American enterprise, so it wouldn¡¯t harm your reputation.¡±


    Zeppelin simply couldn¡¯t understand Yan Fei¡¯s thinking and presumed that Yan Fei¡¯s refusal to cooperate with American capital was due to concern over his reputation. Thus, he cleverly concocted an alternative n.


    Yan Fei looked at Yang Wanlin coldly and asked, ¡°Mr. Yang, is yourpany really a subsidiary of Green Channel Company?¡±


    Watching Yan Fei¡¯s eyes be sharp, Yang Wanlin felt somewhat panicked, but still nodded and said, ¡°Yes, our Green Channel Capital does indeed have an injection of funds from Zeppelin Capital.¡±


    Yan Fei leaned back on the sofa and, lying down, said, ¡°In that case, I have nothing more to say. I reject all your funding ns, and in the future, I will not have any business dealings with you.¡±


    Zeppelin had thought that by pushing Yang Wanlin¡¯s Green Channel Capital, he could bypass investment restrictions, but Yan Fei rejected them squarely, no longer giving them a chance. Somewhat humiliated, he threatened, ¡°Mr. Yan, if you don¡¯t let us invest, then forget about selling your products in the international market. You will lose a great deal of profit. Think carefully about this.¡±


    Yan Fei picked up the teacup and said, ¡°Please.¡±


    Seeing Yan Fei start serving tea to usher them out, the representatives from the VCpanies got up to leave very reluctantly. Yan Fei, with his excellent hearing, even caught Zeppelin¡¯s continuous muttering of curses under his breath¡­


    Lu Pingping had been involved in the negotiation throughout, but other than that oneugh, she had not spoken a word, just letting Yan Fei make his own decisions. Seeing that the VC negotiation had ended in discord, she smiled and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were such a braggart, and you have a patriotic heart, too.¡±


    Yan Fei manipted the muscles on his face, reverting back to his original appearance, and the intense pressure instantly dissipated as he smiled and said, ¡°You knew this about me back in school; I¡¯ve always been like this. Even though I¡¯m not as hot-headed as I used to be, I can still distinguish what¡¯s more important when ites to national and ethnic interests. Besides, who doesn¡¯t know how to brag!¡±


    Lu Pingping pursed her lips and smiled, ¡°Back then, your bragging wasn¡¯t as impressive as now. By the way, do you think they will spread the unworldly brags you made¡­¡±


    Yan Fei felt a bit embarrassed and said, ¡°I¡¯m just the hands-off type when ites to thepany, and I¡¯m not very familiar with its situation. Will the decision I just made bring you any trouble?¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    Lu Pingping smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re the boss, what you say is thepany¡¯s will. Since you¡¯ve made a decision, I will definitely find a way to carry it out. It¡¯s just that the international agents who previously contacted us might need to change. You know, Zeppelin Capital has considerable influence internationally. Since they¡¯ve hit a wall with us, they will certainly use their influence to obstruct the sales of our products internationally, to force us to submit.¡±


    Yan Fei sighed and said, ¡°This is because our influence is too weak. Otherwise, today would have seen them seeking us out for coboration instead of trying to bully us like this.¡±


    Lu Pingping said, ¡°Increasing influence will take time; it¡¯s not something that happens overnight. By the way, do you remember that Yang Wanlin just now?¡±


    Yan Fei shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever heard of him.¡±


    Lu Pingping reminded him, ¡°That Yang Wanlines from the Yang Family of Beijing; he¡¯s also a significant figure. His older brother is that cold-hearted man Yang Liu, who is also the uncle of Yang Song, the one who caused trouble at ourpanyst time.¡±

 Chapter 142 - 102: Cold-hearted Man

    Chapter 142: Chapter 102: Cold-hearted Man


    Hearing that Yang Wanlin was actually the younger brother of the ruthless man Yang Liu, Yan Fei¡¯s face showed a thoughtful expression as he said, ¡°Are you saying that the Yang Family of Beijing has finally reached out to me?¡±


    Lu Pingping said, ¡°It¡¯s possible. That Yang Song took a big loss with us, and given his personality, he definitely won¡¯t let it go and will soon take revenge on us. But during this period, there hasn¡¯t been any movement from him. At first, I thought he had been grounded by his father, Yang Liu, and wasn¡¯t allowed to go out, so he couldn¡¯t make a move. But then friends of mine in Beijing told me they¡¯ve seen Yang Song outside, which means Yang Liu hasn¡¯t restrained him. Yang Song¡¯s unnaturally quiet behavior suggests that the Yang Family of Beijing might be brewing a n against us. He wouldn¡¯t dare act rashly and disrupt the family¡¯s n. This Yang Wanlin might just be Yang Liu¡¯s spy, sent to probe our intelligence.¡±


    Yan Fei thought for a moment, then asked, ¡°Is that Green Channel Venture Capital really a subsidiary of Green Fir Venture Capital from the United States?¡±


    Lu Pingping nodded and said, ¡°As far as I know, Green Fir Venture Capital is indeed the major shareholder of Green Channel Venture Capital. But whether they actually control Green Channel Venture Capital or are the primary shareholder, it¡¯s hard to say. Green Channel Venture Capital has always promoted itself as a Chinese capital firm, and people, hearing it often enough, havee to see it as a Chinese enterprise, so they encountered less resistance when investing in some Chinese Unicorn enterprises. However, those Chinese Unicorn enterprises might not realize that standing behind Green Channel Venture Capital is very likely Green Fir Venture Capital from the United States.¡±


    Yan Fei angrily said, ¡°This false Chinese enterprise, Green Channel Venture Capital, has gone too far, actually helping outsiders deceive Chinese enterprises, achieving their goal of controlling Chinesepanies with potential.¡±


    Lu Pingping sighed, ¡°The ownership structure of Green Channel Venture Capital has not been disclosed publicly, and I¡¯m not clear about the internal details, but it¡¯s certain that Yang Liu holds shares in it, and he holds a significant portion. Yang Wanlin is the representative figure he put forward. Yang Liu is a man who, for the sake of financial gain, will stop at nothing, a relentlessly cold person who has done many heartless deeds. Previously, several Chinese enterprises with potential, just like us, unwilling to let American capital take stakes for the sake of national pride, ended up being approached by Green Channel Venture Capital. They were deceived into letting them invest, and once the investment was sessful, they immediately sold their shares at a high price to Green Fir Venture Capital, and those few enterprises painfully lost their controlling stakes while Green Channel Venture Capital made a huge profit. This type of incident has happened several times, turning our excellent Chinese enterprises into American ones, stifling the development of Chinesepanies, which is truly regrettable.¡±


    Yan Fei suddenly realized just how treacherous and brutal the capital market was; it was no less intense than fighting for life and death against enemies. He bitterly said, ¡°So Green Fir Venture Capital is also nning to use simr tactics against us today, which is despicable. Yang Liu is exacerbating evil, truly base.¡±


    Lu Pingping gave a bitter smile, ¡°If he didn¡¯t do such things, why would people say he specializes in betraying teammates and the country? Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t live up to the nickname of the ruthless man! In his eyes, all that¡¯s left is probably just money!¡±


    Yan Fei suddenlyughed, ¡°I¡¯m definitely no match for Yang Liu when ites to scheming, but just with these tactics, they can¡¯t take away my enterprise. I can tell you one thing, my support is incredibly strong, and if Yang Liu and his people try to take us on, they won¡¯t be able to handle the consequences. If they try to be subtle with us, we¡¯ll just ignore them since we don¡¯t need anything from them.¡±


    Yan Fei didn¡¯t actually have any backing behind him, at most he had a mysterious drone. He said this to appease Lu Pingping, to give her confidence when dealing with issues, and to avoid panic. Yang Wanlin¡¯s visit to test the waters was probably just the first step in Yang Liu¡¯s n, a move that couldn¡¯t shake Yan Fei¡¯s foundation. But if Yang Liu resorted to violence, then Yan Fei wouldn¡¯t hesitate to use the drone to eliminate Yang Liu; that¡¯s why he spoke so forcefully.


    Although Lu Pingping was curious about the forces backing Yan Fei, she wisely didn¡¯t ask any further questions. Now, hearing Yan Fei¡¯s certain tone immediately put her at ease, and she felt more confident. She changed the subject and said, ¡°Thepany¡¯s business has been doing welltely, but our current office location is a bit cramped and doesn¡¯t match thepany¡¯s image, nor is it conducive to thepany¡¯s long-term development. So, I want to ask if we should consider building our own office building?¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    Yan Fei replied, ¡°You¡¯re right, not having our own office building always feels like there is no foundation, and the emptiness weighs on my heart. Always renting someone else¡¯s building for office use is not a long-term solution. When you have time, take a look around the city area of Shanghai, find a plot ofnd, and we¡¯ll build a building that belongs to us.¡±


    Lu Pingping said, ¡°I was initially nning to findnd in the suburbs of Shanghai to build an office building. That way, the cost of the entire building could be kept within a reasonable range. If you choose the city area of Shanghai, I¡¯m afraid the expenses will be veryrge.¡±


    Yan Feiughed, ¡°Ourpany has made a lot of money now, but this money is just lying in thepany¡¯s bank ount, and it¡¯s meaningless if we don¡¯t use it. We must spend it to realize its value, so don¡¯t worry about how much we spend. If we build a super mansion in the city area of Shanghai, not only will it disy thepany¡¯s strength, but it will also preserve and increase its value. Later, if the products don¡¯t sell, we can still have money to support you guys.¡±

 Chapter 145 - 103: China Special Duties Unit

    Chapter 145: Chapter 103: China Special Duties Unit


    ¡°`


    In a top-secret room in Beijing, a young woman sat nervously in front of aputer, with two people standing behind her. One was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, and the other was a neat young man. Beside them was a row of odd-shaped instruments andputers, with some technicians sitting in front of theputers.


    If Yan Fei were in this room, he would have recognized the seated young woman as the female Chinese agent who had entrusted him with a USB drive in Japan, and the neat young man as Duan Hongye from the China Special Duties Unit who had once saved the lives of Yan Fei and Lu Pingping.


    On theputer screen in front of them was a PC version WeChat ount named ¡°***.¡± They saw a messageing in: ¡°It¡¯s me, I¡¯m the person who was traveling in Japan.¡±


    The excited young woman quickly typed into WeChat, ¡°Where are you now? How is my stuff?¡±


    Duan Hongye reminded from behind, ¡°Xiaozhou, don¡¯t rush it, chat with him gently so that we can get back our items! Asking too many questions might annoy the other side.¡±


    The young woman known as Xiaozhou nodded and said, ¡°I understand, I will be careful with my words.¡±


    Just then, a message appeared on WeChat: ¡°Sorry, for some special reasons, I couldn¡¯t wait for you at the agreed ce as originally promised, nor could I go to the address you mentioned. However, I have brought the item back to China, and it is now very safe. How should I hand it over to you?¡±


    Seeing this message, Xiaozhou¡¯s eyes welled up with tears of excitement. The mission to intercept the data escape had cost them greatly, and several colleagues had even sacrificed their lives in Japan. Despite such sacrifices, the data, which was seen as more important than their very lives, had not been secured. When she helplessly returned to China, she felt incredibly guilty, as if it was all her fault. Now, seeing the lost item reappear, she was overwhelmed with emotion.


    @@novelbin@@


    The ordinary middle-aged man beside her handed her a tissue and said, ¡°Xiaozhou, wipe your tears first. Don¡¯t get overly excited, talk slowly to the other party. Since he has taken the initiative to contact us, we have hope of getting our data back.¡±


    Duan Hongye turned to the technicians nearby. They were analyzing data on theputers and then disying the results on arge screen television in the room. It disyed, ¡°Target location: 1879 meters at Shanghai Beach, Equipment: Huawei mobile phone, Phone number: 13**3838438, Mobile phone owner: Ma Tianya.¡±


    Using the WeChat ount that had contacted Xiaozhou, the technicians from the China Special Duties Unit were able to quickly locate the mobile phone connected to the Drone Assisted Intelligent Brain and brought up the owner¡¯s information, demonstrating their powerful intelligence-gathering capabilities.


    Duan Hongye instructed, ¡°Encrypt the signal from this mobile phone immediately, and ensure themunication remains clear. No one else should be able to view the messages exchanged between this mobile phone and us.¡±


    The nearby technician swiftly carried out the technical operation, and in thirty seconds, gestured to Duan Hongye to indicatepletion. Duan Hongye picked up a phone, dialed a number, andmanded, ¡°Eagle, there¡¯s a new task. The target is at Shanghai Beach, coordinates ****, ****, get there immediately.¡±


    The ordinary middle-aged manughed, ¡°Eagle, keep an eye on the suspect, wait for further orders. Don¡¯t act rashly or startle the target, to avoid unexpectedplications.¡±


    A voice came through the phone: ¡°Understood, Team Leader!¡±


    It turned out that this ordinary middle-aged man was actually the leader of China¡¯s most secretive unit. However,pared to Duan Hongye and Xiaozhou, he seemed too ordinary, attracting no notice, someone people instinctively overlooked.


    Xiaozhou thought for a moment and then typed into WeChat, ¡°Comrade, thank you for keeping my item safe. But you are in a very dangerous situation right now, you must hand over the item to me immediately. I have sent a liaison officer. He will contact you shortly, just hand the item to him.¡±


    After a pause, a response came through on WeChat: ¡°I have your item with me, but I don¡¯t know who you are. I don¡¯t know if you are a Chinese person or the one who gave me the item. I know nothing, how can I just hand over the item to someone you mention?¡±


    Duan Hongye looked at the message with a sharp gaze, appearing quite angry. The Special Duty Group had made great sacrifices for the sake of China, bearing scars from numerous battles. But now, to have their identities doubted was infuriating to anyone.


    The ordinary middle-aged man quickly said, ¡°Deputy Team Leader Duan, you must stay calm! That person managed to break through the US-Japan Joint Forces¡¯ encirclement and has connections to a mysterious drone, which suggests he is no ordinary person. We can¡¯t act rashly now; otherwise, if we anger him, we could lose the item and that would be a significant loss. Besides, it¡¯s normal for him to have questions ¨C after all, who would trust information from a stranger on WeChat? This is about the ownership of important experimental data. Wouldn¡¯t you ask the same if you were in his shoes?¡±


    Duan Hongye had been angered thinking of his fallen teammates and seeing their efforts doubted. But after hearing the team leader¡¯s exnation, he realized that he had misunderstood the other party and understood their concerns. He immediately said, ¡°Team Leader, I understand. I will control my emotions.¡±

    Chapter 147: Chapter 104: Returning What¡¯s Perfectly Intact


    Upon discovering the other party¡¯s request, Yu Xiaozhou hurriedly clicked to agree, adding them as a friend.


    The other party immediately sent a message, ¡°Have you arrived in Shanghai?¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou started typing, ¡°What is the address of the room you stayed in Japan?¡±


    There was a moment of silence on the WeChat end before an address was sent over, with the message, ¡°Rest assured, I am the person who contacted you this morning. I¡¯ve just switched my WeChat for some reasons.¡±


    Seeing the address sent by the other party was indeed the one they had in Japan, Yu Xiaozhou confirmed their identity and wrote on WeChat, ¡°We have arrived in Shanghai and are currently in the city area.¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    It took about ten minutes before the other party said, ¡°Open the map of Shanghai and look for a ce called Maliutuo.¡±


    The technician beside them immediately started to locate the area and found that Maliutuo was a very remote small town on the western side of Shanghai, next to the mountains.


    The other party sent another message, ¡°Have you found that ce?¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou replied, ¡°We have located the position!¡±


    The other party then said, ¡°Meet me at Maliutuo in two hours. I will personally return the item to you.¡±


    After saying that, the other party went offline on WeChat.


    Duan Hongye looked at the technician beside her, who said, ¡°The login address for this WeChat ount is a 24-hour caf¨¦ in the city area of Shanghai, and they were using the caf¨¦¡¯s free WIFI. Based on the maximum WIFI connection distance, we have mobilized several hundred nearby surveince cameras for monitoring using thetest Sky Eye Technology. However, the individual in question could not be found on any of the surveince cameras.¡±


    Since returning to China, Yu Xiaozhou had relied on her memory to sketch a portrait of the intermediary they met in Japan. As a special operations worker, her memory was exceptionally sharp, and she possessed a high level of drawing skill. Therefore, the person she met in Japan was depicted very clearly and vividly. They immediately uploaded the person¡¯s portrait into the Chinese Poption System to search. Although they found several hundred people who resembled the individual, after careful investigation, they excluded all of them because these lookalikes had not traveled abroad during that time period. That meant the intermediary¡¯s information could not be found in the Chinese Poption System, suggesting they might not be Chinese. It was for this possibility that Yu Xiaozhou felt extremely guilty until the individual suddenly reappeared and contacted her, giving rise to a glimmer of new hope.


    The technician¡¯s database had long stored the portrait drawn by Yu Xiaozhou. So after identifying the potential area where the individual might appear, they deployed nearby surveince cameras to search, using Sky Eye Technology for facial recognition, yet they found no matches to the portrait.


    Duan Hongye said, ¡°Our adversary is an expert who might be skilled at perfectly controlling their facial muscles, rendering their appearance through maniption. They are likely to be appearing with a different face now, which is why you can¡¯t find them.¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou asked, ¡°Deputy team leader, what should we do now?¡±


    Duan Hongye answered, ¡°We will immediately head to Maliutuo town to await the meeting and retrieve our property.¡±


    Pausing briefly, she added, ¡°Contact the local military base right away, and request army assistance. After we reim our item, we¡¯ll capture this mysterious person.¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou, puzzled, said, ¡°Deputy team leader, why should we capture them? If they truly return our item, shouldn¡¯t we be thankful instead?¡±


    Duan Hongye exhaled, blowing away a clump of dust falling from the ceiling of the room, then said, ¡°Xiaozhou, you need to thinkprehensively and not just go by personal feelings. Let me ask you, it¡¯s almost certain this person is the mastermind behind the mysterious Drone, and they seem to be Chinese, typically residing in China. Where do you think their Drone is located?¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou ventured, ¡°Could the Drone be in China?¡±


    Duan Hongye replied, ¡°Of course the Drone is in China. I¡¯ve told you before, when I was on a task in Shanghai, I once encountered a Drone at the docks. That Drone killed J¨±bei Yamamoto of the Yamamoto Family from Japan. Sadly, by the time I arrived, the Drone had already taken off, and I couldn¡¯t see its specific features, only a masked figure being lifted away. Later, the crime scene investigation revealed that the Drone had fired Vulcan Gun rounds at J¨±bei Yamamoto. You should know, no Drones in the world are fitted with Vulcan Guns, which means the one I saw in Shanghai and the one that appeared in Japan were certainly the same.¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou said, ¡°I remember this incident; you investigated itter but found no useful leads, right?¡±


    Duan Hongye exined, ¡°It¡¯s not that there were no leads, but all the clues were destroyed by someone else beforehand, that¡¯s why we have never been able to find the person behind the mask controlling the Drone. Later, Captain China from Africa reported that a Drone appeared in Africa, engaging in a fierce battle with US Forces and achieving a significant victory. Just like before, that Drone fired Vulcan Gun rounds, so it definitely was the same one I saw in Shanghai, only mysteriously transported to Africa somehow, some way. Hence, I started an investigation in the hope that I could find the suspect through airport immigration records to Africa. However, I discovered that the airport records for those specific days had strangely disappeared, including the passenger purchase information. Therefore, I could not determine who was connected to that Drone.¡±

    Yu Xiaozhou asked, puzzled, ¡°How could such a bizarre event ur? Have you investigated the ins and outs of it?¡±


    Duan Hongye shook his head and said, ¡°We have investigated the disappearance of the information and found that it was caused by a hardware malfunction of the airport equipment, and that the information cannot be restored, it¡¯s permanently lost, so we have lost our best chance to track down the Drone operator. Fortunately, this person took the initiative toe out, giving us hope of finding him.¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou said, ¡°Maybe that person has no connection to the Drone, it could just be a coincidence that he was with it. After all, the Drone is not a toy; it¡¯s huge. If it really is within China¡¯s borders, why haven¡¯t we detected it?¡±


    Duan Hongye stated, ¡°ording to intelligence, that Drone possesses unimaginable capabilities, it can even submerge into the ocean. If it¡¯s lying in wait under the sea, our radars, no matter how advanced, won¡¯t be able to detect it.¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou said, ¡°Even if the Drone is in China, it hasn¡¯t shown any hostility towards us, nor has it harmed the Chinese People. Why do we need to capture it?¡±


    A cold expression surfaced on Duan Hongye¡¯s face,pletely unlike his usual demeanor, and he said coldly, ¡°Within the territory of China, the presence of any armed forces not under the control of the Government is absolutely uneptable. This armed force may not be hostile to us now, but who can guarantee that it will remain so in the future? For the safety of the people, we must eliminate all threats at their source, or bring them under our control. Furthermore, capturing that mysterious person would allow us to gain ess to the high-tech technology on the Drone. These things are needed by the nation, they can improve the nation¡¯s Strength. Therefore, he must be captured.¡±


    Seeing the sudden cold expression on Duan Hongye¡¯s face, Yu Xiaozhou immediately remembered a terrifying rumor and became somewhat scared. She dared not question Duan Hongye¡¯s decision any further and asked, ¡°What are you nning to do with this mysterious person after capturing him?¡±


    Duan Hongye said coldly, ¡°If he is willing to serve us, then he will join us. If he¡¯s unwilling, then we kill him. As a Chinese Person, if he doesn¡¯t serve his own country, is there any need for him to exist?¡±

    Two hourster, Duan Hongye and Yu Xiaozhou hurried to Maliutuo Town. On the surface, they were just two people in one car, but secretly, arge amount of the army started setting up ambushes nearby to capture the mysterious person after retrieving the items.


    The two waited for a while, only to find that the agreed time had passed, but no one had contacted them. As they grew anxious, Yu Xiaozhou¡¯s WeChat ount received a new message: ¡°I just encountered dog lovers causing a traffic jam when they crashed into a highway to save a dog and can¡¯t make it to Maliutuo Town in time, so we must change the transaction location.

    Duan Hongye looked at the Technician, who immediately said, ¡°Themunication from the WeChat message is still from that same coffee shop¡¯s free WIFI. Our people have spread a dra around the coffee shop; still, no suspicious individuals have been detected. Therefore, we believe the other party is a Hacker Expert, using the Inte to hack into the coffee shop¡¯s free WIFI, leaving us false information, and even evading our strict Inte surveince.¡±


    Duan Hongye asked, ¡°Is there any traffic ident on the Highway involving rescuing a dog?¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    The Technician checked and said, ¡°Yes, there is one where some dog lovers smashed a delivery truck on the Highway, ignoring the driver¡¯s pleas, they¡¯re forcefully rescuing dogs. Some people are even live-streaming it online.¡±


    Duan Hongye said coldly, ¡°Notify Wei Chao from the Shanghai City Bureau, tell them to immediately arrest these dog lovers under the charges of endangering public safety and robbing other¡¯s property, don¡¯t let a single one go.¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou opened the address link on WeChat and found out that the new location is north of Shanghai. It is a small town called Shichuan Town.


    Duan Hongye said, ¡°We¡¯ll head to Shichuan Town immediately.¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou asked, ¡°Deputy team leader, what about the arrangements here? What should we do?¡±


    Duan Hongye thought for a moment and said, ¡°Let¡¯s not touch the arrangement here for now. I¡¯m afraid the other side might be feigning a move east to strike in the west. Once we move our people from here, and he suddenly shows up, we won¡¯t be able to capture him. Let¡¯s mobilize other personnel and set up in Shichuan Town. No matter what tricks they have, under our absolute Strength, all will be insignificant.¡±


    Thus, Duan Hongye and Yu Xiaozhou rushed to Shichuan Town again. An hourter, they reached Shichuan Town. Affording this time difference, the town¡¯s environs were also rigged, and arge force of the army hid around. Then Yu Xiaozhou sent a message through WeChat: ¡°We have arrived at Shichuan Town.¡±

    Chapter 150: Chapter 105 Maritime Conflict


    Yan Fei had no idea how frustrated the special agents from the Special Duty Group were because of him. Although they didn¡¯t find Yan Fei, they did manage to retrieve the most important data, which was a cause for some relief amidst the loss.


    When Yan Fei contacted the China Special Duties Unit, he subconsciously wanted to keep it confidential, not wanting to expose his identity. That¡¯s why he used the Drone Assisted Intelligent Brain to connect to someone else¡¯s WIFI and get in touch with the China Special Duties Unit. Though the Auxiliary Brain couldn¡¯t break through the inte restrictions to ess hidden information, if someone detected it using their WIFI, they still couldn¡¯t trace its whereabouts¡ªtruly a ghost of thework.


    However, Yan Fei had some difficulty figuring out how to return the data to the other party without revealing his identity. Later, he was inspired by a Hong Kong cop-and-robber movie. Thus, he set up aplicated ruse, attacking from multiple fronts, leading the other party¡¯s resources astray, and finally ced the data on a lone ind in the sea. This created a sense of urgency for the other party, preventing them from nning a trap for him in advance. Throughout Yu Xiaozhou¡¯s yacht trip out to sea, the whole journey was under surveince by the drone¡¯s Quantum Radar, including her and Duan Hongye who followed 500 meters behind, all within Yan Fei¡¯s grasp.


    The drone silently hid on the seabed next to the lone ind, with Yan Fei himself sitting inside the cockpit. The USB drive on the ind was personally ced by him, and he had been guarding it here. If anyone other than Yu Xiaozhou attempted to take the USB drive, the drone would mercilessly eliminate them.


    Only when Yan Fei saw Yu Xiaozhou retrieve the USB drive and safely meet up with Duan Hongye did he control the drone to leave, docking at a location far from these territorial waters before quietly returning home.


    After these messy and unconventional maneuvers learned from movies, Yan Fei finally returned the hot potato in his hands back to its rightful owner, fulfilling the promise he made while in Japan.


    @@novelbin@@


    In the following days, Yan Fei settled down for a while. Going to and from work on time each day, he learned management techniques from Lu Pingping, slowly seeing some results. Although he wasn¡¯t able to manage thepany well yet, he had picked up some basics and couldn¡¯t be easily fooled anymore.


    During this time, the drone remained lurking near the coastal waters of Shanghai without undertaking any operations, with everything appearing calm, as if the world was at peace.


    One afternoon, as Yan Fei was browsing information on his mobile phone during a break from work, a trending news item suddenly caught his attention.


    It turned out that a Taiwanese fishing boat was fishing in the Diaoyu Inds waters when it was suddenly expelled by a Japanese patrol boat. The Japanese patrol ship attacked the Taiwanese boat with water cannons, filling it with a vast amount of seawater and putting it at risk of capsizing.


    This Taiwanese fishing boat immediately sought help from the Taiwan authorities, only to be rejected. Instead, they were scolded for illegally fishing in the Diaoyu Inds waters, which they said would cause trouble for the Taiwan authorities and damage the good rtions between Taiwan and Japan.


    Having no other recourse, the Taiwanese fishing boat, in a burst of anger, directly called the Maind Relevant Department via satellite phone for help, hoping for support from Maind China. Upon receiving the distress call, in line with the principle that both sides of the strait belong to one family, Maind Chinese departments immediately arranged a rescue. They tasked relevant departments to act urgently while posting the information on the official Weibo ount, tagging the Japanese Embassy in China, asking them to notify their homnd to restrain the Japanese patrol boats and prevent endangering the Taiwanese fishing boat.


    Once the message was posted online, it garnered widespread attention. Someizens even flocked to the official website of the Japanese Embassy in China to protest against their patrol boats¡¯ actions. Due to everyone¡¯s involvement, this information quickly became a hot topic, allowing Yan Fei to see the message in the shortest time possible.


    Yan Fei¡¯s thoughts stirred upon realizing the information was posted only thirty minutes ago. This meant the Taiwanese fishing boat was still in the Diaoyu Inds waters, and the Japanese patrol boats were still chasing them away.


    Yan Feiy on the sofa, seemingly asleep with his eyes closed. On the other hand, he activated the drone¡¯s virtual control screen. The drone lurking near the seafloor of Shanghai immediately started its engines and set off towards the Diaoyu Inds waters. Once it was far enough from Shanghai, it surfaced to the sea underneath a patch of dark clouds, then vertically took off, flying low over the sea at full speed towards the Diaoyu Inds waters.


    It was daytime, and although the drone was flying just above the sea and radar couldn¡¯t detect it, the numerous satellites in outer space would certainly notice its movement. Due to the drone¡¯s high speed, even its sea-skimming flight caused a white line to be drawn on the sea surface. Once satellites spotted this line, they would be able to track the drone.


    But after his adventure in Japan, Yan Fei had let go of his concerns and wouldn¡¯t hesitate to act. Being constantly afraid was not the conduct of a martial arts expert. If he kept behaving this way, he would never break the human limits and reach the Divine Realm depicted by Wang Yong.


    In the waters of the Diaoyu Inds, the Taiwanese fishing boat Helong was fleeing in a pitiful state. On its left and right sides were two Japan Coast Guard patrol ships chorusing the Helong in a frantic chase. As they pursued, they attacked the Helong with water cannons and incessantly used loudspeakers to demand that Helong immediately leave Japan¡¯s Exclusive Economic Zone.

    153 Chapter 106: Destroying with Ease


    The drone rapidly approached the territorial waters of the Diaoyu Inds, and when it was 20 kilometers away from the incident area, it suddenly ascended quickly, reaching an altitude of 500 meters. Its frame shook as two air-to-air missiles detached from the weapon racks and ignited, trailing white smoke as they streaked toward their target ahead.


    The two Japan Self-Defense Forces'' F-15J fighters were patrolling the skies, prepared to respond to Chinese fighter challenges. The moment the distant drone suddenly gained altitude, their onboard radars instantly picked up its trail. However, the waveform on their radar screens identified the aircraft as thetest model of an American F-15 fighter.


    The two Japanese fighter pilots were clueless about why an American fighter would suddenly appear here, as they had received no intelligence of an American fighter''s presence in the area when they set out on their mission. Could this American fighter be here to assist them? Yet, one thing was strange; their onboard radars had previously failed to detect this American aircraft, so how could it appear so suddenly in this location?


    The two Japanese pilots, puzzled, had just opened themunication channel, intending to contact the F-15, when they suddenly received a radar warning. The opposing F-15 fighter had alreadyunched two air-to-air missiles at them.


    The Level 4 Drone Upgrade had selected the F-15 temte, so its weapon system had also automatically transformed to match that of the F-15. The closebat missiles it was equipped with were AIM-120 air-to-air missiles, which have a maximum attack distance of 90 kilometers, but an effective attack range of 75 kilometers. Also, their speed reached Mach 4. Compared to before, the drone''s missile attack capability had significantly improved, with an increase in both attack range and speed. With such an all-around enhancement, the drone could now break free from its previous limitation of not being able to attack and having to resort to cunning tricks and sneak attacks on the enemy.


    The two Japanese F-15J fighters were shocked to detect the iing missiles and had not expected to be attacked by an American fighter. The image of the American military as an unchallenged force, coupled with its formidable military strength, put tremendous pressure on them. Even though they detected the missileunch from the American fighter, they still didn''t dare to retaliate with their own missiles. Instead, they reported the situation to their rearmand and then turned tail to flee.


    To evade the AIM-120 missiles, the two F-15Js elerated away while releasing decoy res. What they didn''t realize was that the F-15 did not belong to The United States military and that it was equipped with the top-notch ck technology of quantum radar. Once a target is locked by quantum radar, no amount of decoy res can evade a missile''s attack.


    The F-15J fighters are the Japanese version of the American F-15, with a maximum speed of only Mach 2.5¡ªno match for the AIM-120 missiles pursuing them at Mach 4. In just thirty seconds, the AIM-120 air-to-air missiles caught up to the two F-15Js, avoiding the released decoy res and hitting the fighters with pinpoint uracy, triggering two fiery explosions in the sky. @@novelbin@@


    Sensing their dire predicament, both F-15J pilots had earlier pressed the ejection button and bailed out. Thus, beneath the glow of the explosions, two pristine white parachutes bloomed in the sky...


    The three Japanese patrol boats below, which had been happily chatting away, were stunned when their aircraft were suddenly destroyed by missiles from an unknown source. They stood transfixed, even their conversation instinctively ceased. They watched the parachuting pilots, their minds struggling toprehend what had happened.


    Little Gu, the captain''s son on the Helong, was live-streaming and managed to capture the moment the two missiles destroyed the F-15Js, which sent him into an ecstatic frenzy as he shouted in the live broadcast. The viewers who witnessed this scene in his live video became instantly excited, calling friends to share the news. In a very short time, the audience watching Little Gu''s live stream surpassed a hundred thousand people.


    It was not unusual for battles to happen between fighters in the world, but footage of fighters being destroyed by missiles was often too blurry to make out clearly. So, when a clear image of missiles striking fighters was captured, the audience watched with thrilled excitement. Theypletely forgot that this was a brutal dogfight, and the losing side could mean death...


    Yan Fei''s drone had appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the two F-15J fighters,pleting the task in less than a minute and demonstrating extremely highbat efficiency. The drone then rapidly approached the scene of the incident and, almost concurrently with the destruction of the F-15Js, spotted the helicopter in mid-air. The drone closed in fast and fired a burst from its 30-millimeter naval cannon, bursting the hapless helicopter in mid-flight.


    When the patrol ship Fushima realized the helicopter above had been sted by an American fighter, and the same fighter was now approaching and appeared ready to attack them, they suddenly perceived the danger. Themander on board the Fushima was faced with a life-or-death decision and was scared out of his wits, turning ashen. The authoritative demeanor he usuallymanded vanished in an instant, and he didn''t even know to give the order. It was only after repeated prompting by his deputy that themander began to issue orders for a dispersed retreat and reported the situation to the rearmand. Consequently, the three Japanese patrol boats ceased their assault on the Helong and started to flee in three different directions.

    Yan Fei was originally after significant Merit, so how could he possibly let these Japanese culprits just get away?


    @@novelbin@@


    The Drone turned, chasing after a Japanese Patrol Ship that was trying to escape, and thenunched two AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles. Trailing white smoke, the missiles approached the patrol ship, one following the other. In a sh, they caught up with the fleeing ship and arge explosion urred at the Waterline of the Hull, sting a huge hole into it. Then the second missile followed through the breach and exploded inside the ship¡¯s Hull, further erging the hole andpromising the structure of the Patrol Ship, rendering it powerless and immobile.


    Although the structural strength of the Patrol Ship was greater than that of ordinary Ships, it was still far from the resilience of military warships, so it was easily prated by the two AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles. In just a short amount of time, a vast amount of Sea Water flooded the interior, causing the patrol boat to rapidly lose bnce and then capsize. If it weren¡¯t for the captain¡¯s quick thinking to order abandon ship, the majority of the crew would have perished with the vessel.


    On his first attack on a naval ship, Yan Fei had destroyed a Patrol Ship, catching the other two patrol vessels by surprise. They quickly elerated to flee, hoping to escape the fate of a Drone attack. However, the Drone, equipped with Quantum Radar, was formidable, and their escape was simply impossible. Had it not been for the intent to conceal the Drone¡¯s ability to attack multiple targets at once, a single missile strike could have sunk all three Patrol Ships. Yan Fei attacked the ships one by one to mask the Drone¡¯s powerful attack capability and to assert immense pressure on the Japanese, mentally torturing them with fear and desperation.


    After sinking the first Patrol Ship and ignoring those floating in the Sea, the Drone looped around, quickly pursuing another small Patrol Ship andunched two more AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles. The process mirrored the previous, and this Patrol Ship was also sunk by the missiles, leaving a great number of Japanese crew members adrift in the sea.


    Themander of the fleeing Fusoh was ashen-faced, unable to believe that a US military fighter had suddenly attacked them, causing them to lose two F-15J Fighters, a Helicopter, and two Patrol Ships in a very short time. Now it seemed even the Fusoh was doomed. What was happening? Had The United States of America dered war on Japan? The fear of being bombed by two atomic bombs by the United States once again filled themander¡¯s heart, vanishing his ambitions for Japan to dominate the world.


    Before themander of the Fusoh coulde up with a solution, the Drone circled back andunched two AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles at the Fusoh. Although the Fusoh was a Patrol Ship, it was equipped with a 20-millimeter Machine Gun. As the Missiles approached, with theirmander incapacitated, the deputy captain hurriedly ordered to intercept the iing missiles. Despite firing rapidly, the sea-skimming trajectory of the Air-to-Air Missiles made it impossible for the level-firing machine gun to hit them due to the angle.


    With a loud ¡°boom¡±, the Air-to-Air Missile hit the waterline of the Fusoh, but to Yan Fei¡¯s disappointment, the Fusoh, while dubbed a Patrol Ship, was essentially a small warship, and its Hull structure was extremely sturdy. The AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile astonishingly failed to breach its defenses, so it couldn¡¯t be sunk as the previous ones had been.


    Yet, Yan Fei was undeterred; he immediately switched the missile type, changing from AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles to Enhanced AGM-114 Anti-Tank Missiles. He thenunched two Anti-Tank Missiles toward the Fusoh, striking the same waterline spot one after the other.


    The first Anti-Tank Missile pierced a small hole in the Hull, while the second Anti-tank Missile followed, erging the breach. Then the Drone fired an AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile again, which entered inside the Fusoh¡¯s Hull through the hole made by the Anti-Tank Missile. The violent explosion inside caused tremendous damage.


    The Fusoh¡¯s engine was destroyed, losing its power to move forward anding to a stop on the sea surface. Sea Water rushed into the waterline breach, tilting the vessel. Within just two minutes, the Fusoh capsized. Themander of the Fusoh was utterly incapable of thought, and the entire crew, under the deputy¡¯smand, abandoned ship. Even themander, with the help of an assistant, made it to a lifeboat, watching the quickly sinking Fusoh. His face turned pale as y, clueless about what had happened. A wet patch appeared at his groin, but whether it was urine from fear or sea water was unknown¡­


    The Drone had quickly dealt with Japan¡¯s Aircraft and Patrol Ships, and now only Taiwan¡¯s Helong was left, already taking on water and nearing sinking. Beneath the sea, a US Seawolf Attack Submarine also noticed the situation unfolding on the sea surface. It surfaced rapidly until it was 20 meters below the sea surface, monitoring everything transpiring above.


    Elsewhere, two Chinese Military J-16 Fighter Jets, detecting the incident in the territorial waters through their onboard Radar, reported the situation while heading toward the area.

    Chapter 155: Chapter 106: Overwhelming Crushing Power_3


    In space, several small satellites quickly changed orbits because of this incident, focusing their attention on the Diaoyu Inds waters to survey the scene.


    The drone flew over the area where the incident took ce, and the sea surface was littered with arge number of Japanese sailors. Among them was a small lifeboat crammed with people, with many Japanese sailors¡¯ hands still clinging to the gunwale. Yan Fei did not attack these sailors in the water, although he very much wanted to. He knew he must have been spotted by the satellites overhead, and if he attacked these sailors, he would definitely be photographed and then branded a terrorist by the world. Although he was currently operating under the guise of the US Forces, it was only a matter of time before he was exposed, so for the sake of his future reputation, he decided to spare these drifting Japanese servicemen. If it had been night, he would have fired the naval cannons and wiped out those Japanese who fell into the sea long ago.


    On the Helong, Little Gu had been recording the entire process of the drone wiping out the Japanese patrol ships and fighter jets. He was extremely excited; as an anchor emcee for so many years, he had never shot such explosive footage. He could already foresee how these videos would change his life in the future.


    By taking out the Japanese patrol boats and fighter jets, Yan Fei not only earned arge number of Merit Points but also got a significant release for his pent-up frustrations, immediately feeling refreshed and invigorated. Then, through the Quantum Radar, he spotted the approaching Chinese fighters at the scene. Not wanting any interaction with them, he turned around, lowered his altitude, and quickly flew towards the northeast. Just at that moment, the seawater ahead began to boil, and a missile broke through the surface, soaring into the air and heading straight for the drone.


    Yan Fei sneered. Although his primary targets were the Japanese fighter jets and patrol boats, the Quantum Radar had been keeping an eye on the lurking Seawolf attack nuclear submarine beneath the sea. He chose not to attack the submarine because he didn¡¯t want to reveal the drone¡¯s ability to hit underwater targets. Now the submarineunched a close-range attack, firing a submarineunched anti-ship missile. However, Yan Fei had noticed the activity right away, spotted the missile the moment itunched, and before it ascended, he sped up and left the area.


    @@novelbin@@


    The missileunched by the Seawolf attack nuclear submarine was an anti-aircraft missile with a cruising speed of only 2.5 Mach, normally used for air defense. To use it against a drone that could reach speeds of 3 Mach was futile¡ªit wouldn¡¯t evene close to making contact. However, if the drone hadn¡¯t been equipped with the scanning capability of Quantum Radar and had been unaware of the Seawolf submarine lurking beneath, it might have been ambushed by the anti-aircraft missile.


    Yan Fei also knew the capabilities of the Seawolf-ss Nuclear Submarine; although his drone now had the ability to attack underwater, a scaled-down version of the AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile would not be enough to prate the Seawolf¡¯s hull. If it couldn¡¯t break through the Seawolf¡¯s hull, the drone would not be awarded Merit Points in the assessment, and it would instead reveal its ability to attack submerged targets. Therefore, Yan Fei had no choice but to make a tactical withdrawal without engaging in a futile attack.


    Monitored by satellites from outer space, the drone quickly flew northeast. Judging by its flight path, it was heading directly for thergest US Air Force base in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. Continuing to fly, the drone then encountered a thunderstorm. Instead of going around, it plunged directly into the storm, using the thick clouds to block the satellites¡¯ prying eyes. Then it swiftly nose-dived into the sea, quickly changed direction, and stealthily made its way towards Shanghai.


    With their view obstructed by the thunderclouds, the space-based satellites lost track of the drone. They waited left and right, but the drone never emerged from the storm. It was more convenient for China; two J-16s were dispatched immediately to check the situation, but when they arrived, aside from witnessing the gloomy clouds and thunder, they didn¡¯t see anything¡ªnot even a blip on their radars.


    Subsequently, the reconnaissance aircraft of the US Forces and Japan reached the area, but like before, aside from the lightning, they found nothing. No one knew where the F-15 jet had gone. Thus,bining the raging lightning below the dark clouds, everyone could only specte that the jet had crashed in the storm. But in their hearts, they didn¡¯t believe that the jet would make such a low-level mistake and crash due to natural forces; it had certainly gone into hiding somewhere, and they simply couldn¡¯t find it for the moment.


    The drone¡¯s operation not only rescued Taiwan¡¯s fishing boat but also sunk Japanese patrol vessels and airnes, earning arge number of Merit Points¡ªa wless achievement.


    Yan Fei was very satisfied in his heart. His Auxiliary Brain detailed the Merit Points earned by the drone on this mission:


    Merits awarded forunching missiles in Diaoyu Inds waters: shooting down two F-15J Fighter Jets, 1000 Merit Points (500 per F-15 Fighter); downing one Sea Patrol Helicopter, 100 Merit Points (100 per patrol helicopter); sinking onerge patrol ship, 1500 Merit Points (1500 for arge non-military patrol ship); sinking two medium-sized patrol ships, 1000 Merit Points (500 for a medium non-military patrol ship); killing 32 enemy personnel, 32 Merit Points.


    A total of 3632 Merit Points were earned from this sortie, bringing the cumtive total to 7525 Merit Points.


    Unwittingly, the Level 4 drone umted a total of 7525 Merit Points after just two sorties. If it were a Level 3 drone, it would have nearly been enough for an Upgrade, as a Level 3 drone only needs 10000 Merit Points to level up. Although there¡¯s still a long way to go from the 100,000 Merit Points required for a Level 4 drone to Upgrade, considering the difficulty of earning Merit Points, the process for the Level 4 drone was far too easy, with the upgrade speed actually faster than that of a Level 3 drone.


    In contrast to the F-15 Fighter Jets that previously could only be defeated by surprise attacks, the Level 4 drone dominated them utterly, executing an Instant Kill. Everything felt as easy as breaking dry twigs or slicing through vegetables.

    The drone rapidly approached the territorial waters of the Diaoyu Inds, and when it reached a point 20 kilometers from the area where the incident urred, it suddenly pulled up rapidly, rising to an altitude of 500 meters. Suddenly, a jolt went through the airframe, and two air-to-air missiles detached from their weapon racks. The missiles ignited, trailing white smoke as they shot toward the target ahead.


    In the sky, two Japan Self-Defense Forces F-15J fighters were patrolling, ready to confront the challenge from Chinese fighters. When the drone suddenly climbed in altitude from afar, their onboard radar immediately detected the drone¡¯s trace. However, on their radar screens, the signals appeared to be an F-15 fighter from thetest batch of the US Forces.


    The two Japanese fighter pilots did not understand why an American fighter had suddenly appeared in this area, as they had not received any intelligence about the presence of US fighters here when they set out on their mission. Was this US fighter here to assist them? Yet one thing was very strange; their radar had not detected the American aircraft previously, so how had the fighter suddenly appeared here?


    The two Japanese pilots, somewhat puzzled, were about to open themunication channel to contact the F-15 when they suddenly received a radar warning that the F-15 fighter ahead hadunched two air-to-air missiles at them.


    When the Level 4 drone was upgraded, the F-15 temte was selected, causing its weapon system to automatically transform to match that of an F-15. It was equipped with AIM-120 air-to-air missiles as its fighting weapon. The maximum attack range of an AIM-120 air-to-air missile is 90 kilometers, but the effective attack range is 75 kilometers. It also reached a speed of Mach 4. Compared to before, the drone¡¯s missile attack capability had undergone a significant upgrade; it had not only extended its attack range but also increased its attack speed. With suchprehensive upgrades and enhancements, the drone escaped the previous predicament of being unable to attack the enemy directly and was no longer just reliant on strategic deception to ambush its adversaries.


    The two F-15J fighters from Japan, surprised by the iing missiles, had not expected to be attacked by a US fighter. The high-standing image of the US Forces in their minds, coupled with the formidable military strength of the United States, exerted immense pressure on them. Even after realizing they had been attacked by missilesunched by a US fighter, they still did not dare to retaliate with missiles of their own but instead turned tail and fled after reporting the situation to the rear.


    To evade the AIM-120 air-to-air missile attack, the two F-15Js elerated away while releasing decoy res. What they did not anticipate, however, was that this F-15 did not belong to the United States military, and on board was what could be termed top-notch ck technology: Quantum Radar. Once a target was locked by the Quantum Radar, there was no escaping the missile¡¯s pursuit, regardless of the decoy res deployed.


    The F-15J fighters were the Japanese version of the American F-15, with a top speed of only Mach 2.5, making it impossible for them to escape the pursuit of AIM-120 air-to-air missiles traveling at Mach 4. In just thirty seconds, the AIM-120 missiles had caught up with the two F-15Js, avoiding the deployed decoys and urately hitting both F-15J fighters, setting off two red sparks in the sky.


    The pilots of the two F-15J fighters, seeing the dire situation, had ejected early on and parachuted to safety. Thus, under the illuminated skies from the sparks above, two pristine white parachutes bloomed¡­


    The three Japanese patrol ships below, which had been happily chatting away, were taken aback when they suddenly witnessed their aerial assets being destroyed by mysterious missiles. They were momentarily stunned, even forgetting to continue their banter. They stared nkly at the parachuting pilots in the sky, their minds failing toprehend what had just unfolded.


    Little Gu, the captain¡¯s son on the Helong, was live-streaming when he captured the moment the two missiles destroyed the F-15Js, and he became so excited that he couldn¡¯t contain himself, shouting loudly on the live stream. The inte users watching his live broadcast were also thrilled to see the footage, and they started calling friends to spread the news. Within a very short time, the number of people watching Little Gu¡¯s live broadcast surged to over one hundred thousand.


    In the world, there have been many engagements between fighter jets, but the footage of the jets being hit by missiles is usually very blurry and unclear. Therefore, when such a clear footage of missiles hitting fighter jets was captured, everyone was incredibly excited. Theypletely forgot that this was a cruel aerial battle, where the losing side could suffer fatalities¡­


    Yan Fei¡¯s drone had appeared abruptly and destroyed the two F-15J fighters in less than a minute, demonstrating extremely highbat efficiency. Then the drone quickly approached the area of the incident at high speed. Almost at the same moment the Japanese F-15Js were destroyed, it spotted the helicopter midair and swiftly approached. A burst of 30-millimeter naval cannon fire was unleashed, exploding the evasive helicopter in midair.

    Seeing their own helicopter sted by a US fighter, which then approached them appearing about to attack, the crew on the Fushima patrol ship suddenly realized the danger. Faced with a life-or-death situation, themander on the Fushima was so terrified he became pale as a ghost, his previous bravado vanishing in an instant, to the point of being unable to issue orders. It was only with repeated reminders from his deputy that themander began to issue orders for a dispersed retreat and reported the current situation to the rear. Thus, the three Japanese patrol ships ceased their harassment of the Helong and began to flee in three different directions.

The two missiles, trailing white smoke, flew one after the other toward the patrol ship. In a sh, they caught up to the fleeing ship. Arge explosion urred at the waterline of the hull, sting a huge hole through it. Then, the second missile followed into the hole and exploded inside the ship. This explosion not only erged the hole in the hull but also damaged the patrol ship¡¯s structure, causing the ship to lose power and be motionless.


    @@novelbin@@


    While the structure of a patrol ship is stronger than that of ordinary ships, it is still far from the durability of military vessels, and thus it was easily breached by the two AIM-120 Missiles. In just a short time,rge amounts of seawater rushed into the hull. The patrol ship quickly lost its bnce and capsized. If the captain hadn¡¯t realized the situation was dire and issued the order to abandon ship, most of the crew would have gone down with the ship.


    It was Yan Fei¡¯s first attack on a naval ship, and he managed to take down a patrol boat, which shocked the other two patrol ships. They hurriedly elerated in an attempt to escape the fate of being attacked by the drone. But how could they possibly escape from a drone equipped with Quantum Radar? If it was not for the need to conceal the drone¡¯s ability to attack multiple targets simultaneously, a single missile strike from the drone could have sunk all three patrol boats at once. He chose to attack one at a time to hide the drone¡¯s powerful capability while also putting tremendous pressure on the Japanese, torturing them mentally.


    After the drone sank the first patrol ship, it did not bother with the crewmen floating on the sea surface. Instead, it made a turn ahead, changed direction to chase another small patrol ship, andunched two AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles again. Just like before, the patrol ship was sunk by the missiles, leaving arge number of Japanese crew members floating on the sea.


    The fleeingmander of the Hirashima was pale, not expecting a US Forces Fighter Jet to suddenly appear and attack, causing his side to lose two F-15J Fighters, one helicopter, and two patrol ships in a short amount of time. It now seemed that his Hirashima could not escape the same fate. What in the world was happening? Had the United States dered war on Japan? The fear of the two atomic bombs that had once been dropped on Japan by the United States surfaced again in themander¡¯s heart, and the ambition to dominate the world faded away.


    Before themander of the Hirashima could think of a way to solve the current situation, the drone in the sky turned back andunched two AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles at the Hirashima. Although the Hirashima was a patrol ship, it was equipped with a 20-millimeter machine gun. Seeing the missiles approaching and theirmander incapacitated, the executive officer quickly ordered to intercept the iing missiles. The patrol ship opened fire, but the machine gun, which could only shoot straight due to its angle, couldn¡¯t hit the missiles flying low over the sea.


    A loud ¡°boom¡± was heard as the missiles hit the waterline of the Hirashima. To Yan Fei¡¯s disappointment, the Hirashima, although called a patrol ship, was actually a small warship with an extremely solid Hull structure. The AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles couldn¡¯t breach its defense, so they couldn¡¯t sink it as they had done with the others before.


    However, Yan Fei was not discouraged. He immediately switched the type of missile, changing from the AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile to the Enhanced AGM-114 Anti-Tank Missile, and then fired two Anti-Tank Missiles at the Hirashima. The two Anti-Tank Missiles, trailing white smoke, sessively hit the same waterline position on the Hirashima.


    The first Anti-Tank Missile made a small hole in the hull of the Hirashima, and the second one erged it. Then the drone fired another AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile. The missile entered the hull of the Hirashima through therge hole created by the Anti-Tank Missiles and caused a violent explosion inside, inflicting massive damage to the Hirashima.


    The engine of the Hirashima was destroyed, instantly losing the power to move forward, and it halted on the sea surface. With arge amount of seawater pouring in at the waterline, the hull tilted, and in just two short minutes, the Hirashima capsized. Themander of the Hirashima hadpletely lost the ability to think, and all the crew members abandoned ship under the executive officer¡¯smand. With the help of an assistant, themander himself got to a lifeboat and watched as the Hirashima sank rapidly; his face was ashen, not knowing what had happened. His groin was damp¡ªwhether from urine he had scared out or seawater he had touched was unknown¡­


    The drone had single-handedly resolved the Japanese airnes and patrol boats, leaving only Taiwan¡¯s Helong on the sea surface, but the Helong was also taking on a lot of water and was close to sinking. Below the sea surface, the United States¡¯ Seawolf Attack Submarine noticed the changes above the water. It surfaced rapidly, stopping 20 meters beneath the sea surface, and from there it monitored everything happening on the sea.


    On another front, two Huaxia Fighter Jets detected the incident in the territorial waters through their onboard radar. While reporting back, they headed toward the area of the incident.

    Chapter 163: Chapter 107 Application Number 2_2


    But because of this, Yan Fei was even more cautious in his use of the Drone Avatar, afraid to let any slip show. Otherwise, given the huge losses the Drone had inflicted on the United States of America and Japan, once his identity was exposed, even the country might not be able to protect him. He would have no choice but to flee and fight to the death.


    In the following days, there were several incidents of conflict between Japanese fishermen and Chinese fishermen in the territorial waters around China. With some people deliberately stirring things up, these incidents became widely discussed. As long as one could connect to the Inte, it was clear that everyone was talking about them.


    However, Yan Fei managed to restrain himself and did not deploy the Drone to attack. He subconsciously felt that deploying the Drone too frequently was not a good thing, but what he didn¡¯t know was that these fishing disputes were actually orchestrated by the United States of America and Japan. They hadid traps in the disputed waters, hoping to lure out the covert F-15 Fighter and either capture or shoot it down. Yan Fei¡¯s caution inadvertently allowed him to avoid a potentially fatal disaster.


    @@novelbin@@


    The Chinese side was well aware of the actions of the United States and Japan, but did not prevent them. They wanted to use the opportunity to find out the origin of the F-15 Fighter. Intelligence indicated that the F-15 Fighter was very likely operated by a Chinese person, or at least by someone sympathetic to China¡¯s plight. Therefore, the Chinese side also wanted to identify this hidden force, as no one would tolerate such a powerful military asset outside the control of the government within their territory.


    To the disappointment of all parties involved, Yan Fei, because of his newfound caution, did not fall for the traps, and this helped him avoid the danger of exposure.

    Since Yan Fei rejected the financing and investment proposal from Green Pine Capital, the rtionship between the two entities had souredpletely. Those international agents who had initially contacted Dream Foods and initiated negotiations suddenly abandoned talks, refusing to be international agents for Weight Loss Cookies. Their consecutive withdrawals also led other agents to pull out, causing the bid to enter the international market with Weight Loss Cookies to temporarilye to a halt.


    Yan Fei and Lu Pingping were certain that Green Pine Capital was sabotaging them in retaliation for Yan Fei not allowing them to invest in his Company. As apetent entrepreneur, Lu Pingping was naturally inclined to expand and strengthen the enterprise, so she was worried that Weight Loss Cookies could not enter the vast international market.


    In order to break through Green Pine Capital¡¯s blockade against Dream Foods, Lu Pingping began analyzing the data of the European agents who had suddenly withdrawn and found that some of them were not invested in by Green Pine Capital. Their sudden withdrawal was due to confusion and believing some rumors, following the crowd, and choosing to pull out. Therefore, Lu Pingping decided to tackle them one by one, using these few agents as a breakthrough point to develop them into agents for Weight Loss Cookies in Europe. Buttely, she had been too busy to travel to Europe herself and had to send her secretary, Liu Tingting, to negotiate on her behalf.


    Under Lu Pingping¡¯s guidance, Liu Tingting¡¯s business capabilities had improved rapidly, and she was capable of handling matters independently. Entrusted with this important mission by Lu Pingping, she immediately took her assistant and headed to Europe to develop new markets for the Company, vowing to break through Green Pine Capital¡¯s encirclement and carve out a new scenario in Europe.


    Lu Pingping did her best to develop the enterprise¡¯s business, but Yan Fei wasn¡¯t concerned at all with introducing Weight Loss Cookies into the European market; he had his focus elsewhere. Having spent arge sum of capital to collect experimental data and summaries from majorboratories around the world on the immune system, the gaps and inuracies in the data had been filled. The significantly enhanced Auxiliary Brain, after countless simtions and deductions, finally decoded a new technology involving the addition of Skin Antibodies to the immune system, marking the second practical application of the immune system.


    In this new technology, new Skin Antibodies could be added to the immune system. Once Skin Antibodies appeared in the immune system, any skin parasites present on human skin would be detected immediately by the immune system, and then T Cells or Phagocytic Cells in the immune system would engulf these tiny parasites, thus preventing any trouble from skin parasites in humans.


    Moreover, these Skin Antibodies possessed a memory regeneration function that could promote automatic recovery and restoration of damaged skin. Skin Antibodies were widely present during human infancy, which is one of the reasons infants¡¯ skin is always radiant. However, as humans enter puberty, these Skin Antibodies quickly disappear, causing human skin to deteriorate over time and various skin parasites to emerge. As a result, people need to use cosmetics and medicine to maintain healthy and beautiful skin.


    Skin Antibody Application is extensive and can detect anomalies in the body such as skin scars, color, blemishes, and sagging. Once the immune system detects these abnormalities, it activates the Skin Repair Program to restore the skin automatically based on original memory. This means that with Skin Antibodies, under the action of the immune system, human skin will always be in perfect condition, free from scars, color inconsistencies, blemishes, or sagging. As a result, people could look younger and more beautiful without makeup.

    Chapter 164: Chapter 107 The 2nd Application _3


    The Auxiliary Brain had already deciphered the technology for adding Skin Antibodies to the Immune System. However, the medicine used to deliver these antibodies was not yet perfected, with certain side effects still present. The Auxiliary Brain was now optimizing this medicine, aiming to enhance its effectiveness whilepletely eliminating side effects for perfect utilization.


    To reap more economic benefits, Yan Fei decided to customize antibody addition based on different skin areas. For instance, antibodies tailored for the skin around the eyes, facial, hands, feet, scar diminishment, Facial Freckle Removal, Skin Whitening, and Parasite removal among others. Once the technology extraption system of the Auxiliary Brain worked out the specific techniques for regional antibody addition ording to these requirements, Yan Fei would possess a full set of cosmetics technology, bing an absolute sovereign of the cosmetics market. After the sess of the Weight Loss Cookies, Dream Technology was poised to introduce another golden goose. Compared to the cookies, this direct application of Immune System technology on skin held broader and more profound applications with an evenrger market. It had the potential to significantly enhance the influence of Dream Technology.


    Although the technology was still in its infancy and it wasn¡¯t known when it would be perfected, Yan Fei could prepare in advance. Thus, he instructed Lu Pingping to acquire a cosmetics production Factory nearby Shanghai, preparing for the potential product manufacturing.


    With her previous experiences, Lu Pingping didn¡¯t find Yan Fei¡¯s request surprising but was instead very excited, as this signified that the Company would soon release a brand-new product. She started to scout Factories around Shanghai to find a suitable target.


    On another front, Lu Pingping also started contacting the Shanghai Municipal Government, proposing ns to buy a plot ofnd in the city area to construct the Company¡¯s super skyscraper. However, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping were disappointed to learn that the urban development of Shanghai was so mature that there were norge parcels ofnd avable. Purchasing small plots from various owners not only faced the possibility of exorbitant prices, but also the issue of holdouts. Their skyscraper project could fail if even one owner was unwilling to sell.


    Hence, Yan Fei adjusted his aim. Settling for the second best, he looked towards the Suburbs of Shanghai and no longer insisted on undevelopednd. He then discovered an unfinished 45-story building on the eastern outskirts of Shanghai. Thisrge Unfinished Building halted construction due to the sudden rupture in funding from the sponsor. While other Enterprises had intended to take over thend and the Unfinished Building, they had to abandon the idea after site inspections.


    The entire building was designed to the highest standards. Despite having only 45 floors, the building was 240 meters tall with a total area of 250,000 square meters. Chosen materials for the construction were of the highest standards, amounting to a staggering cost of 8 billion RMB, not including decoration expenses. To put this in perspective, the tallest skyscraper in Shanghai, the Shanghai City Center Building, stands at 632 meters and cost only 14.8 billion RMB. Since building costs exponentially increase with height, spending 8 billion on a 45-story building was seen as an extravagant expense.


    Even if Yan Fei had to construct a new 45-story building from scratch, the cost wouldn¡¯t exceed 1 billion. Hence, when potential buyers learned that the construction cost of this building reached 8 billion, they immediately withdrew their interest.


    When Yan Fei and Lu Pingping learned about this building, they initially visited out of curiosity but found that it met their requirements unexpectedly well. Yan Fei became interested and promptly invited architectural experts to inspect the building. The inspection revealed the building materials were indeed of the highest standard and value, though one couldn¡¯t im the building was the sturdiest in the World, it would withstand earthquakes below 9 on the Richter scale without copsing. Even if it were hit by a Bomb during a war, only partial damage would ur, rather than aplete copse.


    The experts involved in the inspection praised the building¡¯s quality, dering they had never encountered a more solid construction in their lives. These expert assessments gave Yan Fei immense confidence. If he were to construct such a building himself, it would require at least two years. And considering his demands for quality would be simr, the investment was likely to be on par with this half-finished skyscraper. Seeing this as an opportunity, he became keen on acquiring it.


    Thus, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping quietly conferred.


    Yan Fei asked, ¡°Pingping, how much cash does our Company have on hand right now?¡±


    Lu Pingping didn¡¯t need to consult any records, as she knew the data by heart, ¡°The Company struggled initially with sales, butter achieved a rapid breakthrough. In the past ten days or so, daily sales have exceeded 50,000 boxes, and over the past three days, that figure has stabilized at over 100,000 boxes per day. This means we¡¯re bringing in at least 200 million RMB daily. Since the Company hasn¡¯t made any significant investments recently, the previous turnover has barely been touched, leaving us with 6.7 billion RMB in cash right now.¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    Yan Fei was astounded, he hadn¡¯t expected the Company¡¯s ount to hold so much money. He had always been somewhatx; though he did study management for a while at Lu Pingping¡¯s behest, he couldn¡¯t stick with it, and eventually all matters reverted back to Lu Pingping. He only asionally checked the ount bnce and would secretly revel in the figures for a bit, not realizing that in just a few days, the bnce had increased so significantly.

 Chapter 165 - 108: The Conspiracy Strikes

    Chapter 165: Chapter 108: The Conspiracy Strikes


    Having discovered that there were no issues with the Company¡¯s funds, Yan Fei said, ¡°Pingping, I¡¯ve decided to purchase that Unfinished Building and use it as our Company¡¯s future Headquarters.¡±


    Lu Pingping frowned and said, ¡°Although that building is sturdy, its cost is too high and doesn¡¯tply with the cost-control principle. Plus, while its main construction has beenpleted, it hasn¡¯t been fitted out at all. After buying it, we would need to keep investing money into it, driving its cost even higher. I always feel that this isn¡¯t necessary and it¡¯s simply too wasteful.¡±


    Recently, Yan Fei had been living a life of life and death. During his time in Japan, he even slept with one eye open, so he took safety very seriously. In choosing the Company¡¯s Headquarters, he also made safety a top priority. He couldn¡¯t fully trust those ordinary buildings, for fear that one day they might be set on fire or bombed. He might not even have time to react before getting killed. Staying in such a sturdy building, at the very least, would give him enough time to respond to danger and not end up a confused ghost.


    Yan Fei said, ¡°Pingping, I know the cost of this building is a bit high, but it¡¯s still eptable for us at present. And since its main construction is already finished, but yet to be decorated, it¡¯s convenient for us to n the interior design. Don¡¯t you want to arrange the Office Building you work in ording to your own wishes?¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    Upon hearing Yan Fei¡¯s seductive suggestion, the previously opposed Lu Pingping started to feel tempted. Women are naturally inclined to beautify things, not only themselves but also their rooms. A building that is ready for Lu Pingping to design and n could satisfy all her dreams about house design and nning.


    Seeing that Lu Pingping was somewhat tempted, Yan Fei quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, ¡°Only such a sturdy building can protect our safety. Have you forgotten about that time when the Japanese barged into our Office intending to take us away?¡±


    After being reminded by Yan Fei, Lu Pingping suddenly recalled the scene where Hideo Oogawa almost kidnapped her and Yan Fei, which instantly sent a shiver down her spine. She hastily said, ¡°I understand. Since you like this building so much, let¡¯s go ahead and buy it!¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°Then we must have someone contact the Shanghai Municipal Government as soon as possible to submit our purchase proposal and then enter the negotiation phase. I hope to acquire the building in the shortest possible time and start the design and renovation work. It¡¯s July now, and I hope we can move into this building by the end of this year.¡±


    Lu Pingping said, ¡°Whether we can move into this building by the end of the yearrgely depends on the efficiency of the Government. But I¡¯ll do my best, and hope everything goes as nned! By the way, do we need to take out a loan from a bank to buy this building?¡±


    Yan Fei shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s better for us not to take out bank loans. It¡¯s not that I¡¯m worried about high bank interest rates, but that I don¡¯t trust them. Bank loans always require something as coteral, right? What¡¯s the most valuable thing in our Company? The first thing is definitely the Weight Loss Cookies form, which we can¡¯t put up as coteral. The second would be the Company¡¯s shares. As soon as we request a loan, the bank will definitely want our shares as mortgage coteral, and they¡¯d assess the value of these shares ording to their own standards. If our Company¡¯s development remains smooth and cash flow is abundant, then sure, everything¡¯s fine, the bank won¡¯t give us trouble because we can bring them huge benefits. But if something goes wrong with our Company, the bank might immediately reduce the assessed price of the mortgage coteral and then pressure us to add more coteral or repay the loan right away. If that happens, our Company might end up being devoured by the bank. So I¡¯d rather our Company develop slowly than seek financing from others, borrow money, or take loans from banks.¡±


    As an expert in management and well versed in the workings of capital, Lu Pingping grew anxious after listening to Yan Fei and said, ¡°Fei, I understand your concerns, and the situations you described do happen in reality. But in business, it¡¯s important to share benefits, and monopolizing is thest thing we want. If we don¡¯t bring the banking consortium into our circle of interests, they will stand by when we need their help in the future or even kick us when we¡¯re down. You should realize how powerful interest groups

    Chapter 167: Chapter 108: The Conspiracy Strikes_3


    This was also the reason why Yan Fei did not want to take out a loan from the bank at this time. Should Dream Technology encounter any significant problems, the bank would certainlye fiercely and swallow up this golden goose, leaving nothing for Yan Fei.


    Among the information Yan Fei had obtained was that the property owners of the headquarters building had been persuaded by that small group, ready to cooperate in evicting his Company from the building unawares, leaving Dream Technology without a ce to work. It was precisely because of this information that Yan Fei insisted on securing that solid building immediately, so that no one could drive him out.


    The scheme targeting them was extremely malicious. Once suddenly executed, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping might be caught off guard, possibly descending into chaos, or even facing utter defeat. But now that the plot had been discovered by Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, they had a response n ready, allowing them to easily avoid this crisis crafted specifically against them.


    Consequently, Lu Pingping sped up negotiations with the Shanghai Municipal Government regarding the ownership of the building. To take possession of the building as quickly as possible, Dream Technology even made a huge concession on the price, ultimately reaching a deal for 7.8 billion RMB.


    In the meantime, Lu Pingping declined loan offers from banks that had heard the news, choosing instead to pay the entire 7.8 billion RMB in cash. However, when she wanted to purchase the 200 mu ofnd near the Unfinished Building as well, she was rejected by the Shanghai Municipal Government. The reason was that thend area was simply too extensive, and Shanghai had no precedent for selling such arge parcel ofnd in one transaction. They did indicate, however, that thend would enter the auction process soon, and Dream Technology could secure the right to use thisnd by outbiddingpetitors at that time.


    Yan Fei¡¯s special request had been declined, and he seemed a bit discouraged. But behind the scenes, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping had found a Food Processing Factory in the development zone of Suzhou, a neighboring province to Shanghai. By offering attractive terms, they sessfully bought this factory.


    When he started his business, Yan Fei was tight on funds and had no choice but to buy a small factory without its ownnd. Now that Dream Technology had ample funds, his purchase of factories became much bolder. The Food Processing Factory was arge-scale one, located in the Jinshan City Development Zone beneath Suzhou, possessing a full 500 mu ofnd withpletend procedures, well-equipped manufacturing facilities, and, importantly, a sufficient number of qualified production workers. Once Yan Fei shut down the food production factory in Shanghai, this ce could immediately take over the production of Weight Loss Cookies.


    Purchasing the Food Processing Factory cost Yan Fei 1.5 billion RMB, but the factory would now be entirely owned by Dream Technology, including the adjoining plot ofnd, along with the buildings and equipment on it, which all belonged to the Company. From now on, Yan Fei no longer had to fear others cutting off his lifeline, as long as he could continue to produce quality products. Dream Technology could then grow bigger and better.


    Yan Fei and Lu Pingping acted in secrecy, without attracting attention. On the surface, the newly purchased Food Processing Factory did not show anything unusual; they still produced and sold their previous products. However, in secrecy, the factory¡¯s equipment had been transformed, and workers had been trained, all set for the official production of Weight Loss Cookies.


    That night, Yan Fei was tracking online news for thetest activities of that small group when suddenly he received a call. He noticed it was an international call from Africa. Stirred by curiosity, he quickly answered the call and heard a crisp voice.


    @@novelbin@@


    ¡°Little Fei, how are you? This is Wen Rou.¡±


    Yan Fei longed for Wen Rou day and night, and although he had not sought her out due to Drone work and other tasks, hearing her call now filled him with joy. He replied, ¡°Little Rou, I¡¯m doing well. I¡¯m so happy to get your call.¡±


    Wen Rou happily said, ¡°Little Fei, our Doctors Without Borders¡¯ medical assistance work in Africa has just ended, and we¡¯re on a break. I¡¯m nning to visit China and wondering if you would wee me?¡±


    Overjoyed, Yan Fei replied enthusiastically, ¡°Wee, more than wee! When will you arrive in China? I wille to meet you.¡±


    Wen Rou responded with joy, ¡°We¡¯re currently at Kenya Airport. I was thinking of going back to the United States with the others, but I remembered the history and beautiful scenic spots of China you once told me about. I want to see them for myself. Since you¡¯re weing me, I can go buy a ticket now, and I should be able to arrive in Shanghai tomorrow at thetest.¡±


    Yan Fei was thrilled. Although he had been nning to secretly visit Africa to see Wen Rou and deepen their rtionship after his busy period, her impending visit to Shanghai excited him immensely. After understanding Wen Rou¡¯s travel ns, he made preparations to receive her in advance.


    That night, with the prospect of seeing Wen Rou again, Yan Fei was too excited to sleep. He tossed and turned in bed, restless, until he managed to fall asleep around two in the morning. Just as dawn broke, he opened his eyes with some confusion, sitting up in bed to recall. He had had a dreamst night in which something significant urred, something he was sure was of paramount importance to him. But as soon as he woke up, the details of that event had slipped from his memory. No matter how much he tried to remember, he could not recall what had happened in the dream.


    Ever since hisst return from Japan, Yan Fei had been having simr dreams at night. Although he couldn¡¯t remember their content, he subconsciously felt they were connected. When he had just returned, he used to dream this way every couple of days, but now it happened nightly, troubling him greatly, yet he had no idea how to deal with it.

 Chapter 170 - 109: Thick White Mist_3

    Chapter 170: Chapter 109: Thick White Mist_3


    In the evening, Yan Fei and Wen Rou enjoyed an authentic Chinese feast, which brought smiles to Wen Rou¡¯s face as she repeatedly praised the renowned Chinese cuisine, only mentioning that some dishes were a bit spicy. Afterward, Yan Fei took Wen Rou to see the nighttime view of The Bund in Shanghai and other famous sights, which left her in constant amazement. Having grown up in The United States of America, her impression of China was often one of backwardness and poverty from the mainstream American media, where there was even a reporter who imagined that Chinese men still wore queues. Therefore, Americans tended to have biases against China, including Wen Rou. Now, confronted with scenes more bustling than New York, she was astonished and felt she had been misled.


    Seeing Wen Rou jumping for joy like a child, Yan Fei felt a peaceful happiness within. He thought that if he could travel the world with Wen Rou in this lifetime, that would be the greatest happiness. In the evening, Yan Fei escorted Wen Rou back to the hotel and then bid her farewell. Seeing that she didn¡¯t ask him to stay, he felt a tinge of mncholy and had no choice but to return home alone.


    The next morning, Yan Fei awoke still bothered by the dream he had just forgotten, but he quickly gathered his spirits, ready to fulfill his host duties, taking Wen Rou through all the famous spots in Shanghai, as well as nearby Suzhou and Hang City. Then, Yan Fei and Wen Rou traveled north along the high-speed rail route to Dong Yue, Tianjin, and Beijing. They visited The Forbidden City and climbed The Great Wall together, immersing themselves in the brilliance of Chinese culture and the beauty of itsndscapes.


    Wen Rou, a Chinese person abandoned in The United States of America since childhood, had always felt out of ce with American culture. At this moment, she finally found her roots as the Mysterious Power in her veins resonated with this ancient country. Seeing Wen Rou¡¯s eptance of Chinese culture, Yan Fei felt extremely delighted. In his heart, although Western culture might be fine, it was definitely not suitable for most Chinese People. Being Chinese, one should inherit China¡¯s authentic traditions; that was what it meant to be a true Chinese.


    And so, Yan Fei led Wen Rou across the vast and beautifulnd of China. They traveled north to the Three Northeastern Provinces, west to the Greater Northwest, and even ventured to the enigmatic Wu Si Zang. Finally, they arrived in the tropical rainforest of Yunnan in Banna City.


    Along the road, Yan Fei and Wen Rou spent day and night together, their affections for each other growing rapidly. Before, Yan Fei had to use tricks just to hold Wen Rou¡¯s hand, but now he could finally hold it for real. Wen Rou also revealed her true self to Yan Fei, allowing him to see who she truly was.


    The two young people attracted each other and began to fall into the torment and sweetness of love. As neither of them had much experience with rtionships, even though they knew of the other¡¯s interest, they didn¡¯t know how to proceed, thus stood at an impasse, waiting for the right moment. Aside from this, they seemed no different from any other couple in love.


    Yan Fei was feeling very good during this time, but there was one thing tormented him: that strange dream. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would have it. Upon awakening, he would forget everything. If it weren¡¯t for Wen Rou by his side, he might have gone mad. However, Yan Fei had his pride and didn¡¯t share his troubles with Wen Rou.


    One day, the two arrived at Banna City in Yunnan. The ce was not only famous for its tropical rainforest but was also a region where minority customs varied widely. Wen Rou, who had worked in Africa for many years, was very interested in the ethnic customs and eagerly came with Yan Fei to experience the local culture and customs of the minority groups in China.


    Unfamiliar with the ce, Yan Fei joined a small local tour group with Wen Rou to start exploring the tropical rainforest. Africa had rainforests too, which Wen Rou often encountered, but those ces were fraught with dangers, from fierce wild beasts to various hazardous Bacteria, and even KB rebels. Although she had often seen rainforests, she had never truly explored one, so joining this tour group made her cheerfully exuberant.


    The tour group they joined was a small one with only 18 people, led by a local minority guide named Tang Xi Shuang. Riding in a tour bus through towering mountains, they didn¡¯t arrive at their destination¡ªthe hidden Dai Ethnic Vige in the mountain stronghold¡ªuntil the afternoon. This Dai vige was very primitive, and such untouched ethnic strongholds were bing increasingly rare in today¡¯s advancing human Civilizations. They could only be found in the deep mountains of Yunnan.


    With the guide¡¯s introduction, Yan Fei and Wen Rou curiously explored the Dai Ethnic Vige. The customs were quite unusual, very different from anything they had experienced. During their visit, the Dai vigers held a wedding ceremony demonstration, choosing Yan Fei and Wen Rou to y the bride and groom.


    Yan Fei and Wen Rou, their faces flushed, rehearsed the Dai wedding ceremony guided by the vigers. During the ceremony, they stole nces at one another, feeling their hearts race and bing even more bashful.


    In the evening, after enjoying a very distinctive Dai feast, the Dai nsmen organized a Bonfire Night Party, where everyone had a great time. Even Yan Fei let go of all his worries, joyfully indulging in the journey to the Dai homnd.


    In the end, Yan Fei escorted Wen Rou back to her room to rest. Wen Rou didn¡¯t dare to speak the entire way, and Yan Fei, watching her embarrassed disposition, felt a stir in his heart. But Wen Rou remained silent, so he reluctantly left without overstepping and returned to his own room.


    At night, Yan Feiy in bed, restless and unable to sleep. He tossed and turned until past one o¡¯clock in the morning before he finally fell into a deep slumber.


    After some time, Yan Fei suddenly awoke to find dense White Mist all around. It was thick, like milk, and even with his enhanced vision, he could only see two meters ahead. Beyond that distance, everything dissolved into the thick white mist, indistinct and unseeable.

    There is something important for the author today, which is taking my daughter to interview at a prestigious school. I hope the interview goes well, and she gets into the school. Therefore, there is only one update today, 5000 words.

 Chapter 173 - 110: Strange World_3

    Chapter 173: Chapter 110: Strange World_3


    Yan Fei entered the room and discovered that it was indeed Wen Rou¡¯s room, with some of her personal items still in ce, but Wen Rou had disappeared without a trace. Yan Fei sat down on the chair with a surge of fear in his heart.


    Ever since he had acquired the Drone Avatar, Yan Fei had faced innumerable challenges and ovee countless painful ordeals, but he had never encountered such a bizarre situation. Between heaven and earth, it seemed he was the only one left. The surrounding silence was maddening, Wen Rou¡¯s whereabouts unknown. He had walked around outside, only to return to the same ce, and even his Drone Avatar could not be sensed. The situation he was facing had be insurmountably difficult.


    @@novelbin@@


    Yan Fei sat in a daze for a while before a determined look appeared on his face. Although he was facing an exceedingly strange situation, he was far from surrendering. He had to find Wen Rou and leave this ce safely together with her. He walked out of the room once more, headed for the temporary parking lot, and moved toward the highway leading to the outside world.


    This time, Yan Fei was especially careful. He carefully observed the direction in which he was heading to avoid unwittingly circling back due to the dense fog. As he walked, he marked the highway with stones to prevent himself from retracing his steps. This time, he indeed managed to travel a greater distance. More than an hourter, he again saw the indistinct shape of buildings through the fog up ahead.


    A chill ran through Yan Fei¡¯s heart. He couldn¡¯t clearly discern what these buildings were, but he was certain he had returned to the original Dai Ethnic Vige. Because when he arrived at the vige yesterday, the minibus had travelled on the highway for over two hours, especially during thest hour which was all within the mountains, and he had note across any inhabited structures. He had walked for just over an hour, and because of his precautionary measures to avoid going in circles, his pace was very slow. As a result, he had not gone far, certainly not more than the first attempt. Seeing the buildings faintly visible through the fog once more, he immediately knew he had returned to the starting point.


    Yan Fei looked down at the highway and did not find any marks he had left. How had hee back here then?


    Unable to find an answer, Yan Fei dragged his weary body forward, only toe across the temporary parking lot and the tour bus he had damaged. His strength vanished all at once, and he couldn¡¯t help but copse to the ground. He had been cautious, even leaving marks on the road, and yet he had still ended up backtracking to the original ce, filling him with immense despair.


    Yan Fei sat on the ground for a while before getting up. More than three hours had passed since he woke up, but the white mist still filled the surroundings without any sign of dissipating. The sky was still dimly lit, with the sun nowhere to be seen, casting doubt on whether his sense of time was urate.


    By this time, Yan Fei harbored deep suspicions about the fog. The situation he was facing could not be naturally urring because a naturally forming fog couldn¡¯t shroud such a vast area for so long, make every person and animal disappear, and prevent him from leaving the mountain stronghold regardless of where he went. There must be some reason he couldn¡¯t understand at the moment.


    But Yan Fei did not know how to break out of this unfavorable situation, as this was also the first time he had encountered such circumstances. He was definitely in danger, so he had to get out of this predicament. And he needed to find Wen Rou, too. He couldn¡¯t bear to imagine her getting hurt¡­


    Unable to resolve this peculiar situation, Yan Fei could only continue searching within the vige, hoping to find some useful information to break out of this unfavorable circumstance. To his disappointment, none of the items in the vige could help him leave.


    With no other choice, Yan Fei continued towards the highway leading to the outside world, hoping for a miracle. But reality disappointed him once again, and two hourster, he found himself returning to the same spot through the fog, and everything was back at square one.


    The spirit Yan Fei had forced up suddenly rxed, and he fell into deep fatigue. Lying on the ground, he stared nkly at the vault of heaven enshrouded in fog above, but the sky was a nket of white, with nothing visible.


    Yan Fei felt a sense of despair. If he were facing a formidable enemy, he could fight head-on. Even if he were no match, he could still escape. Never had he felt like he did now, facing an unseen foe, unable to even find a direction to exert his strength against.


    And just when Yan Fei was engulfed in despair, from within the fog came a faint singing. He was startled, and he quickly sat up, his face showing a focused listening expression. The previously silent world was suddenly filled with a singing voice, not particrly melodious, but to Yan Fei at that moment, it sounded heavenly. When he first heard the singing, he thought he might be hallucinating, as he hadn¡¯t heard any sound other than his own for hours. Now suddenly hearing another voice, he doubted his own senses.


    The singing from the fog was soft, but to Yan Fei, who hadn¡¯t heard another sound in a long time, it was incredibly loud. He rapidly stood up and followed the sound. As he moved forward, the singing grew louder and clearer.


    When Yan Fei broke through the fog to arrive at therge stone at the top of the vige, he finally saw a small figure amidst the fog. This small figure appeared to be a child, with their back to Yan Fei, squatting on the ground, fiddling with something on the ground while swaying back and forth, humming an unknown tune.

 Chapter 174 - 111: Infinite Cycle

    Chapter 174: Chapter 111: Infinite Cycle


    @@novelbin@@


    Seeing the small figure before him, Yan Fei was immensely excited. After such a long time since he had awakened, he had finally seen another living person, heard another voice. Perhaps the way to leave this eerie world was tied to this small figure. However, the person appeared quite young, likely a child. He wondered where the child had been hiding; he had searched the entire Dai Ethnic Vige without discovering him.


    Yan Fei wanted to call out to the other party, but he feared that this might be a hallucination from spending too much time in the silent environment. So, he slowly walked forward, gradually approaching the small figure on the ground. The small figure did not notice Yan Fei drawing near and continued to sway back and forth, humming an unknown tune, fiddling with something on the ground.


    The closer Yan Fei got, the more excited he became, worried that the figure before his eyes would suddenly vanish. He reached out his right hand, slowly moving it towards the shoulder of the small figure on the ground. Finally, when his right handnded on the little figure¡¯s shoulder, he felt a real touch. Yan Fei was now certain that this person truly existed and was not a figment of his imagination.


    As Yan Fei lightly patted with his right hand, the person shuddered, ceased humming the tune, stopped swaying back and forth, and even the hands that had been ying with something on the ground came to a rest. He slowly stood up and indeed was very petite, clearly a child.


    Upon standing, the child turned around in very slow movements. Watching the child¡¯s head turn gradually, Yan Fei felt a surge of excitement. His hopes of safely leaving this mysterious world rested on this child, hoping he wouldn¡¯t be let down.


    With Yan Fei¡¯s hopes high, the child finally turned his headpletely. But when Yan Fei got a clear view of the child¡¯s face, his heart jolted, his right hand quickly left the child¡¯s shoulder, and he stepped back continuously as if startled.


    Yan Fei wasn¡¯t fussy about appearances, not caring much for beauty or ugliness. Although he appreciated beautiful women, he did not discriminate against those who were less attractive, but the child¡¯s face before him could not be described as beautiful or ugly because he had no face at all. Where the child¡¯s facial features should have been was a pitch-dark ck Hole that was slowly rotating, looking very peculiar.


    Yan Fei was frightened by the dark ck Hole on the child¡¯s face, which was why he had instinctively let go of his hand and stepped back. The words he had been about to ask withdrew back into his throat. The child looked towards Yan Fei without making a sound; without a mouth on his face, it was a mystery how the sounds were produced just moments before. He had no face, no eyes, yet Yan Fei felt the child was watching him, which was a bizarre sensation.


    Yan Fei looked at the pitch-dark ck Hole face before him and felt a chill in his heart, but given the strangeness of this world, the appearance of a ck Hole-faced child seemed somewhat eptable. However, his hope of escaping this mysterious world might still depend on this ck Hole-faced child, so he prepared to ask his question. But just as he was about to speak, he noticed the ck Hole on the child¡¯s face begin to change.


    Within the continuously rotating ck Hole, faint lights suddenly appeared, drawing out aplete star system universe, then thes within shifted, depicting the transformation of seas and fields, the evolution of species, and the onset of amazing events.


    Watching the ever-changing ck Hole, Yan Fei¡¯s attention was unwittingly drawn in. He watched the scenes unfold within it as if watching a movie, only the experience felt more real than cinema, like being part of it all.


    As Yan Fei watched the images emanating from the ck Hole, time slipped by, and he began to recognize familiar scenes. Seeing these, the unresolved questions in his heart suddenly became clear, and many previously foggy thoughts found answers. The more he watched, the more dramatic his expression became. One by one, his questions were answered, and as he came to know the truth, his mouth opened wider and wider. In the end, when he had learned everything, he waspletely unprepared for the actual nature of things.


    And just as Yan Fei grasped the entire truth from the images shown by the ck Hole, the small figure began to melt rapidly, then turned into streams of ck smoke that merged into the surrounding White Mist. The wisps of ck smoke were immediately assimted by the dense white fog and disappeared without a trace. It was at this moment when the White Mist stirred and a dark shadow suddenly burst forth, grabbing hold of Yan Fei¡¯s right arm.


    Yan Fei, still in shock, offered no resistance as the shadow seized him. Startled, he exerted his strength, trying to break free. But the shadow¡¯s Strength was terrifying; it pulled on Yan Fei¡¯s right arm and with a fierce tug, ripped it right off.


    Yan Fei screamed in agony as blood spurted out from where his arm had been torn off. As he braced against the pain and was about to counterattack, the shadow struck like lightning, hitting Yan Fei¡¯s temple. Yan Fei¡¯s body shuddered, a severe pain exploded in his head, and then he felt weak, slowly copsing to the ground.


    The shadow¡¯s sudden attack brought Yan Fei to the ground, revealing its formidable Strength. Even though Yan Fei had lost his Combat power, the shadow didn¡¯t relent. It stepped forward and kicked at Yan Fei¡¯s neck, breaking it instantly. Yan Fei¡¯s spine snapped, and he died outright.

 Chapter 176 - 111 Infinite Loop_3

    Chapter 176: Chapter 111 Infinite Loop_3


    Yan Fei felt a sense of disappointment, and just then, the surrounding White Mist rippled, and a shadow appeared from within the mist once again,unching a sneak attack on him. Yan Fei had been killed herest time, so this time he was cautious and kept a close eye on the changes around him, and therefore he spotted the shadow as soon as it appeared. He kicked out with his foot, striking the shadow squarely in the chest, but the shadow¡¯s body was as if made of steel, and his kick only managed to make the shadow stagger back slightly.


    Yan Fei looked over and saw the face of the shadow that was attacking him, but what shocked him was that the shadow, which had appeared suddenly to attack him, was actually himself. Except, the attacking Yan Fei had an expressionless face, and his right hand was torn off, blood dripping everywhere, and his neck askew, clearly exhibiting the same appearance as when he had been killedst time.


    Suddenly seeing his own dead self attacking him caused a great shock in Yan Fei¡¯s heart, and his movements immediately slowed down. The dead ghost Yan Fei, however, did not hesitate¡ªhe stepped forward again, grabbing Yan Fei¡¯s throat and snapping his trachea, killing Yan Fei once more.


    In the room, Yan Fei suddenly cried out and sat up from the bed, his forehead covered with cold sweat, and his back drenched as well, looking extremely panic-stricken.


    Yan Fei sat on the bed, his eyes filled with confusion, obviously uncertain about his current situation. It took him a while toe to his senses. Then he found that the room was still shrouded in thick White Mist, and he still couldn¡¯t see beyond two meters.


    Yan Fei felt bewildered, unsure of where he was or what condition he was in. In the state that seemed like a dream, he had now been killed twice in session, and the second time, it was by himself. Only, this Yan Fei who killed himself was the one from the first death.


    @@novelbin@@


    Yan Fei was only puzzled for a moment, then he went out to survey the surroundings and began searching for other people in the Mountain Stronghold. Just like before, not only had Wen Rou disappeared, but other Tourists and the Dai people from the stronghold, animals, and poultry were all gone. He was still trapped in this mysterious Space, dense with White Mist.


    Yan Fei, somewhat incredulous, ran out along the Highway, but it was futile; he quickly found himself back at the original Mountain Stronghold. He still could not leave. Regarding the two previous experiences of being killed, Yan Fei remembered them vividly. The only thing he had forgotten was the scene yed out within the ck Hole¡¯s child¡¯s ck Hole face the first time.


    Yan Fei knew that shadows lurked within the surrounding fog, and that these shadows were himself, dead, so he was extremely careful. He hid by a tourist bus in the parking lot, always on guard for the shadow¡¯s sneak attack. Although the previous two times he had revived in his bed, who knew if he would be able to revive a third time? If not, he thought, he would truly be dead.


    Yan Fei no longer went to therge rocks above, nor dared to search for the child with the ck Hole face, all to avoid the sneak attacks of the shadow. He stayed alert, and finally, after two hours, he heard faint sounds in the fog. He was swift, with a roll, he left his original spot and then saw a shadow charging out from the White Mist, attacking him, and indeed, it was the first dead ghost Yan Fei with an arm torn off.


    Fortunately, Yan Fei was prepared and immediately attacked when he saw the dead ghost Yan Fei appear. The real Yan Fei was just as strong as the dead ghost Yan Fei, and truly equal in a fight. But Yan Fei had conscious thought, knew how to adapt, while the dead ghost Yan Fei was stiff, not knowing how to change. Within a few exchanges, the real Yan Fei, using a strategy of trading injury for injury, sessfully thrust his hand into the dead ghost Yan Fei¡¯s chest, killing him.


    But before the real Yan Fei could withdraw his hand from the chest of the dead ghost Yan Fei, he felt a severe pain in his heart, and then saw a hand suddenly extending from his own chest. That hand was holding his own beating heart.


    Then the hand squeezed hard, and the real Yan Fei¡¯s heart instantly turned into mush. With a loud cry, Yan Fei¡¯s body weakened and he copsed to the ground. As Yan Fei¡¯s breath was about to stop, he finally saw the appearance of the person standing behind him,unching the sneak attack. Astonishingly, it was Yan Fei himself, but with an irregrly torn throat and an expressionless face, clearly the second dead ghost Yan Fei.


    As the real Yan Fei closed his eyes, he felt intense frustration. He had been on guard against the sneak attack from the dead ghost Yan Fei with the torn-off arm, only to be surprise attacked and killed by the second dead ghost Yan Fei with the ruined throat.


    In the room, Yan Fei cried out again and sat up. Then he immediately remembered his preceding encounters. He had already been killed three times. Apart from the first time being killed by an unknown shadow, the other two times, he had been killed by his own deceased self.


    Yan Fei began to ponder; he could no longer be sure if he was dreaming before, for no one¡¯s dreams could be as bizarre as his. This kind of eerie situation could not be exined away simply as a dream within a dream. He began to suspect that he might have entered some Infinite Loop Space where he would experience endless cycles, each ending with him being killed by his already dead self.


    If Yan Fei were to die too many times, then all the bodies littering the fog would be his own corpses, each one attacking him in a sneak attack until he was killed. If Yan Fei indeed fell into an Infinite Loop Space, then how did he enter it? How could he leave such a space? Was his fate only to be killed by his dead selves?

 Chapter 177 - 112: Killing Heart

    Chapter 177: Chapter 112: Killing Heart


    After histest rebirth, Yan Fei discovered that the outside was still shrouded in white mist, knowing that he had not yet escaped the Infinite Loop Space. Therefore, he did not immediately go out to explore the outside world, instead, he stayed in his room, desperately pondering his way out.


    Regardless of how much he thought, Yan Fei couldn¡¯te up with any effective method. However, his intuition told him that the ck Hole Face Child who appeared at the beginning was definitely key. If only he could recall the scenes depicted by the child¡¯s ck hole face, or figure out what word the child wrote on the ground, he would be able to find the truth about the situation and leave the Infinite Loop Space.


    But Yan Fei had already forgotten the scenes depicted by the ck Hole Face Child, and the words the child had written on the ground had been destroyed, so the only option left was to find that ck Hole Face Child. He needed to watch those scenes through the ck hole on the child¡¯s face once again, or reconstruct the words the child had written on the ground. Only these two clues could help him escape the Infinite Loop Space. Yet, since the first loop, he never encountered that ck Hole Face Child again and had no idea where to find the child.


    While Yan Fei was sunk deep in thought, suddenly, rustling noises came from outside the room. Startled, before he could react, there was a ¡°bang¡±, and his room door was kicked open. Three dark figures jumped into the room from outside.


    Yan Fei was taken aback and upon closer inspection, realized that the three dark figures were actually three of his previous dead selves. One with an arm torn off, one with a rotten neck, one missing a heart; all three dead Yan Fei¡¯s stared nkly at him. Yan Fei in his original body had not ventured out this time, but these three ghostly selves had somehow found his room and burst in to attack him. It seemed that in this eerie world, no ce was safe.


    Yan Fei, in his original body, was unable to contact his Drone Avatar and, consequently, could not use its powers. He could not open Universal Space and thus, weapons inside were inessible. Although he was wiser than the three ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s and could deftly use his own strength, he couldn¡¯t withstand the ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s suicidal simple tactics of trading injury for injury. In less than five minutes, the original Yan Fei was cornered in the room. After fighting back and killing two ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s, he finally exhausted his strength. Then, the heartless ghostly Yan Fei punched him in the top of his head, exploding his skull and instantly killing him.


    In the room, Yan Fei screamed, then was reborn again to find the room still filled with thick white mist, himself still in the state of infinite looping. This time, before he could make any move, four ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s broke in and surrounded the original Yan Fei. He had difficulty dealing with three ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s, and now faced with four, he was even more outmatched. After exerting himself to kill one ghostly Yan Fei, he was finally defeated by the ghostly Yan Fei with a blown head.


    @@novelbin@@


    Yan Fei was then reborn in the room, only to find himself still in the Infinite Loop World. After being killed consecutively, his situation was getting progressively more difficult. As his deaths increased, the number of ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s in the white mist grew, and he became less and less of a match for them, easily killed by the ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s every time.


    Being killed repeatedly by his own dead selves nearly drove the original Yan Fei to a mental breakdown. After his rebirth this time, he didn¡¯t stay in his room. Instead, he rushed out with great speed, beginning the search for the ck Hole Face Child. Despite searching the entire Dai Ethnic Vige, he found no trace of the child. Just when Yan Fei, unwilling to give up, was about to search again, he was discovered once more by the ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s.


    Five ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s charged out of the white mist, surrounded the original Yan Fei, and attacked him. The five ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s joining forces meant that even with intelligence, the original Yan Fei was no match for them. This time, he didn¡¯t even manage to kill one ghostly Yan Fei before being instantly killed by the others within ten seconds.


    Yan Fei was reborn again, then went out to search for the ck Hole Face Child once more, only to be instantly killed by the trailing ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s. And so it continued; Yan Fei reborn, then instantly killed, repeatedly. Eventually, upon each rebirth, Yan Fei¡¯s immediate action was to hide himself, attempting to find the ck Hole Face Child. However, each attempt ended with him being discovered by the ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s who swarmed and effortlessly killed him.


    In this way, Yan Fei could not tell how many times he had been killed by the ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s; the number in the white mist seemed endless.


    This time, immediately after rebirth, Yan Fei looked around the room and noticing the absence of the ghostly Yan Fei¡¯s, he instinctively let out a sigh of relief. He¡¯d had enough; no one would be pleased to be constantly killed by their own deceased selves.


    Unfortunately for Yan Fei, that ck Hole Face Child had never appeared again since the first encounter, leaving Yan Fei without any clues as to how to escape. The thought of being killed by his own dead selves filled him with an overwhelming gloom. Although he could be reborn after dying, nobody wanted to die like that.

 Chapter 181 - 113: Bounty Task_2

    Chapter 181: Chapter 113: Bounty Task_2


    Hearing this question, the man in the ck robe flickered in his gaze. However, Yan Fei immediately fixed him with a death stare. Seeing Yan Fei¡¯s fierce expression, the man in the ck robe shivered involuntarily and quickly said, ¡°I took on a bounty task from someone, that¡¯s why I¡¯m here to kill you.¡±


    Yan Fei was taken aback and asked further, ¡°What bounty task? Where was the bounty ced? What¡¯s really going on? Tell me the truth.¡±


    The man in the ck robe answered, ¡°Although I don¡¯t possess powerful martial force, I know how to use the Infinite Loop Space to kill, so my profession is that of a professional assassin; moreover, I¡¯m an assassin who employs unconventional methods in my killings, enjoying a formidable reputation in the industry.¡±


    Yan Fei said impatiently, ¡°Get to the point. No one wants to hear you boast about yourself!¡±


    The man in the ck robe promptly continued, ¡°Us professional assassins and others who profit through illegitimate means are part of the underground dark forces, each with our own circles. At some point, an entity emerged within these forces in the Network World ¨C the Dark Web. This Dark Web harbors a multitude of bounty tasks, most of which are illicit and can¡¯t stand the light of day, but the bounties offered are incredibly substantial. We log into this Dark Web to view the bounty tasks and then choose to ept them based on our own strength and the bounty offered. As long as the task ispleted and verified, the Dark Web will transfer the bounty into the ount of the executor. All my previous assassination tasks were picked up from the bounties on the Dark Web. Since I never leave any traces, executing perfect killings, I am quite favored by employers. This time too, I found the bounty task to assassinate you on the Dark Web, which is why I hurried over to China, hoping to kill you silently.¡±


    Yan Fei was shocked; he hadn¡¯t expected that a real underworld really existed, with its own official website ¨C the Dark Web. What shocked him most was that he was actually bountied on the Dark Web. He immediately asked, ¡°Do you know who ced the bounty on me for assassination on the Dark Web?¡±


    The man in the ck robe shook his head, saying, ¡°I don¡¯t know. It¡¯s impossible for anyone to leave their real names on the Dark Web. The only details left are the task description, bounty amount, and the payment ounts. To ensure the executability of the bounty tasks, the person offering the bounty must deposit the amount beforehand into the Dark Web¡¯s margin ount, ensuring that others can get paid afterpleting the task.¡±


    Yan Fei then asked, ¡°On the Dark Web, how much is the bounty for assassinating me?¡±


    The man in the ck robe replied, ¡°One hundred million US dors.¡±


    Yan Fei took a sharp breath of cold air, never having imagined his life was valued so high, worth one hundred million US dors. With such a high reward, he estimated any assassin woulde after him, wouldn¡¯t they? This instilled a strong sense of danger and urgency in him.


    Seeing Yan Fei¡¯s shocked expression, the man in the ck robe said, ¡°Your bounty ranks in the top 30 on the Dark Web¡¯s bounty tasks. And since you don¡¯t have significant forces at your disposal and your personal abilities aren¡¯t that strong, you¡¯re seen as an easy and excellent target. That¡¯s why I came to China immediately upon receiving the news, but unfortunately, I fell short and was defeated by you.¡±


    After pondering for a moment, Yan Fei said, ¡°Are you saying I appear easy to bully, so everyone wille after me and try to im that one hundred million dor bounty?¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    The man in the ck robe nodded, saying, ¡°Exactly, I have quick sources of information, so I came right over as soon as I got the news. Other assassin organizations might have received the information a bitter, but by now, they might have already arrived in China. You¡¯re in danger.¡±


    Yan Fei was troubled. He had not expected someone wanted to assassinate him, and for a sum asrge as one hundred million US dors at that. It meant he could now be targeted anytime, nowhere would be safe for him. There were many forces he had offended, plenty of whom had enough money to carry out this bounty task. So which force exactly wanted him dead?


    This technique of using powerful spiritual force to pull Yan Fei into the Infinite Loop Space was terrifying. Not to mention whether Yan Fei could break out of the Infinite Loop Space on his own, but while trapped, should any assassin find him in the real world, he would be immobile, easily killed with just a single bullet. Fortunately, the man in the ck robe was overeager for glory, trying to pocket the one hundred million dor bounty alone without seeking a strong aplice. Otherwise, Yan Fei would have been executed moments ago and would no longer be of this world.


    At the thought of this dreadful scenario, Yan Fei broke out into a cold sweat, but immediately he thought of a key question and asked, ¡°My movements have no set n; I go wherever I think of, and even I don¡¯t know where I¡¯ll be heading next. How did you find my current location?¡±


    The man in the ck robe said, ¡°In that bounty task, a location coordinate was suddenly updatedst night, indicating you were spotted here. So I followed the location coordinates to find you, and sure enough, I found you right here.¡±


    Frowning, Yan Fei realized his location coordinates had been posted on the Dark Web. Who could possess such powerful capabilities to track his movements? He and Wen Rou had previously been traveling domestically in ces far from the national border, areas with good public security within China, so his location had not appeared on the Dark Web. How could it be that upon arriving at this mountainous area less than 5 kilometers from the national border, his location was leaked on the Dark Web? Could it be that the person wanting to assassinate him held great power within China, allowing them to monitor his movements at all times?

 Chapter 184 - 114: Cliff Murder Scene_2

    Chapter 184: Chapter 114: Cliff Murder Scene_2


    The buffering of this vine significantly slowed Yan Fei¡¯s fall, providing him with a greater opportunity to maneuver. He aimed for another vine in the distance, tumbled toward it, and finally grabbed it with one hand. Swinging from that vine, he greatly reduced the massive force of his descent. The vine likewise snapped, but Yan Fei was now in a densely packed area of vines, no longer worried about finding a point of support.


    Yan Fei discarded the broken vine in his hand, set his sights on another ahead, reached out, and grasped it, swinging away again. This time the vine perfectly withstood the tremendous force of their descent and did not break. Switching hands, Yan Fei grabbed another vine below and swung again. In this way, switching hands and swinging several times, he safely reached the valley floor beneath the cliff by relying on the vines.


    There was a stream at the bottom of the valley, and towering trees were everywhere beside the stream. Holding Wen Rou, Yan Fei descended as gracefully as an immortal,nding safely. After the safending, Yan Fei noticed Wen Rou¡¯s cheeks were flushed, seemingly a bit scared, though she hadn¡¯t screamed at all throughout the ordeal.


    Yan Fei set Wen Rou down and asked with an apologetic tone, ¡°Little Rou, are you alright?¡±


    Wen Rou looked somewhat tense and took a while to catch her breath before shaking her head and saying, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°Little Rou, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault for getting you involved. Those people up there are assassins, hired to kill me.¡±


    Wen Rou shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I often saw people getting shot in Africa and even treated those who were shot, so I¡¯ve be quiteposed. It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve never had such a fall from the sky before; it was kind of thrilling.¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°Although we¡¯ve made it to the valley floor, it is still dangerous here and not a ce to stay for long. Let¡¯s leave this ce first!¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    Wen Rou agreed, but just as she was about to leave with Yan Fei, a pained expression suddenly crossed her face. Yan Fei was startled and quickly checked on her, only to find that her right trouser leg was soaked with blood, sporting a bullet hole. His heart raced as he examined further and discovered that Wen Rou had been shot in the right leg at some point. However, the bullet had merely grazed the skin of her calf and flew off somewhere, not damaging the muscles or bones. So while Wen Rou appeared to have lost a lot of blood, fortunately, the injury was not serious.


    Wen Rou, being in frequent contact with patients and deeply knowledgeable about medicine despite being a nurse, quickly assessed the wound and realized that although it looked frightening, it was not severe. She just needed to dress the wound properly and rest for a few days to heal. However, continuing to walk now was not suitable, as it could cause the wound to reopen and lead to serious problems from blood loss.


    So, Yan Fei stepped forward to carry Wen Rou on his back and started walking north. Lying on Yan Fei¡¯s back, Wen Rou felt the security of his broad shoulders and an unusual sensation began to rise in her heart. Her heart raced, her body trembled, and words she wanted to say to Yan Fei formed in her mind.


    Yan Fei, feeling Wen Rou trembling against his back, also felt a strange palpitation and thought he had something to say to her. It was then that a faint buzz sounded overhead. Looking up, he saw two drones circling above the treetops.


    It turned out that the unknown forces after Yan Fei could catch up to him and had set up an ambush on the cliff ahead of time, thanks to their deployment of drones. The drones, flying high, monitored Yan Fei¡¯s movements from a distance, which exined why he felt watched but couldn¡¯t find the observer. Caught in the pleasant sensation of physical contact with Wen Rou, he hadn¡¯t noticed the distant drones, which had led to their ambush sess.


    Then when Yan Fei suddenly jumped off the cliff with Wen Rou, the unknown forces didn¡¯t know whether he had survived the fall, so they sent drones down to check the cliff base. If the drones found Yan Fei¡¯s body and captured a clear photo, their task would be consideredplete, and they could return to collect the hundred-million-dor reward.


    Seeing the drones flitting and hovering in the sky, a ridiculous feeling welled up in Yan Fei. The turn his life had taken started with a small online-purchased drone, which became his avatar, always using drones to steal or attack others. Yet now, it was ironic that someone else had thought to use drones to spy on him.


    Yan Fei surveyed the terrain and carefully set Wen Rou down under arge tree. Then, plucking two branches from the tree, he stripped them of leaves, fashioning two javelin-like weapons, one for each hand. Taking aim at the drones in the sky, he threw the branches with force, one after the other. His improvised javelins shot out like lightning, striking both drones circling above the tree canopy.


    The drones were just ordinary ones; not only were they inconvenient to operate, but they were also slow, unable to dodge Yan Fei¡¯s branch javelin attack. In an instant, both drones were hit midair andponents scattered in all directions, sending wreckage tumbling down into the forest.


    After his drone reached Level 4, Yan Fei finally possessed the strength he had once envied in Xiao Long and Xiao Kong, even surpassing thebined might of both. From the ground, he could easily attack drones high up in the sky, about seventy to eighty meters up. This ability filled him with joy, marking his entry into the ranks of true expert masters.

    Chapter 185: Chapter 114: Cliff Killing Plot_3


    After taking down two drones, Yan Fei once again hoisted Wen Rou onto his back and quickly ran towards the north. He had initially nned to climb up the cliff and deal with the snipers who had ambushed him, but he was with Wen Rou. He didn¡¯t want Wen Rou to witness such a bloody scene and also didn¡¯t want her to fall into danger again, so he decisively chose to withdraw, intending to seek revengeter.


    The valley floor was steep and the path rugged, but with Wen Rou on his back, Yan Fei moved as if walking on t ground, demonstrating his formidable strength. Wen Rou¡¯s face flushed as she thought about Yan Fei¡¯s heroic survival after falling off the cliff, his fierce takedown of the drones, and felt the potent force of his rapid running. She felt incredibly safe with him, as if Yan Fei could protect her for a lifetime. Without thinking, she blurted out, ¡°Little Fei, I love you. I want to be with you forever!¡±


    Yan Fei¡¯s body shook, and he immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Wen Rou, saying with surprise, ¡°Little Rou, did you just say you love me and want to be with me forever? This is definitely not my imagination¡­¡±


    Having spoken her heart, Wen Rou¡¯s face turned even redder with shyness. Despite Yan Fei pressing her for an answer, she mustered the courage to say, ¡°Little Fei, I love you!¡±


    Overjoyed, Yan Fei carried Wen Rou around wildly, shouting, ¡°Little Rou, I love you too. I will love you for my entire life! I too, want to be with you forever.¡±


    Yan Fei¡¯s vow of love for Wen Rou echoed throughout the valley, the recurring sounds of ¡°together, together, together¡­¡± signifying his deration to the world.


    Wen Rou affectionately watched Yan Fei and wiped the sweat off his forehead that had formed from his wild running, whispering softly, ¡°You fool, you¡¯re such a fool¡­¡±


    Knowing Wen Rou¡¯s feelings and brimming with joy, Yan Fei said, ¡°I am a fool, but I¡¯m your fool alone, and I will listen only to you for this lifetime.¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    The young couple had expressed their feelings for each other and felt indescribably happy and sweet, even in the wilderness. Just as they were being affectionate, Wen Rou¡¯s phone suddenly rang. They had been at the bottom of the valley without signal, but as Yan Fei ran in joyous frenzy with Wen Rou on his back, they reached a hillside where they picked up a tel signal, and Wen Rou¡¯s phone rang inappropriately.


    Wen Rou just wanted to be alone with Yan Fei and didn¡¯t want any contact with the outside world. She initially didn¡¯t want to answer the call, but after Yan Fei¡¯s persuading, she reluctantly picked up and started conversing in English. After a few sentences, her face showed an excited expression.


    Then Wen Rou spoke a few more words and hung up the phone. Looking at Yan Fei, she said, ¡°Little Fei, I¡¯m sorry, but I have to leave this ce. My foster parents just told me they might have found information about my birth parents, and I need to go back immediately to confirm it.¡±


    Yan Fei felt a sense of regret. He had just exchanged heartfelt confessions with Wen Rou and was looking forward to developing their rtionship together, but now they had to part ways. However, since it rted to Wen Rou¡¯s origins, Yan Fei couldn¡¯t object. He graciously expressed his hope that Wen Rou would find her birth parents.


    Facing the prospect of separation, they both felt a touch of sadness. But Yan Fei still managed to suppress his sorrow, cheering Wen Rou up again. Then he once again carried her on his back and, making sure of their direction, quickly ran north. An hourter, Yan Fei finally made it out of the primitive forest and onto a highway beside the forest.


    They waited by the highway and after half an hour, they gged down a passing mini-bus. The two bought tickets and boarded. They were now very far from the border and close to Xishuangbanna city. The foreign assassin organization didn¡¯t dare to venture this deep, so they were safe now.


    Indeed, the rest of their journey was smooth. Yan Fei and Wen Rou returned to Xishuangbanna city without incident. Once back at the hotel they had checked into before, Yan Fei headed to a pharmacy to buy some gauze and medicine for dressing wounds, then returned to the hotel where Wen Rou bandaged her right foot by herself. After cleaning the wound, Wen Rou saw that it was as she thought, not very serious. With proper bandaging, a few days of rest would see it healed. Seeing that Wen Rou¡¯s wound was not serious, Yan Fei finally let out a sigh of relief.


    That evening, Yan Fei and Wen Rou started to feel reluctant about parting. However, Wen Rou¡¯s search for her birth parents was very important, and Yan Fei couldn¡¯t stand in her way, so they had to part with heavy hearts.


    So, Yan Fei took Wen Rou to Xishuangbanna Airport, where she took a flight to Yangcheng, and from there, she would transfer to an international flight to the United States. During the check-in at the airport, Wen Rou¡¯s injury raised questions from the inspectors, but she exined it as an ident during travelling, avoiding their suspicion.


    Yan Fei sent off Wen Rou reluctantly, feeling dejected. Wen Rou had left in such a hurry, and there were so many questions Yan Fei wanted to ask her, such as how she knew he was dreaming or why she entered his Infinite Loop Space while dreaming? These were puzzles that had long troubled him. But before he could ask his questions, Wen Rou left for The United States of America.


    Yan Fei stayed in Banna City without much to do for a day. The next day, he bought a ne ticket from Xishuangbanna Airport and flew back to Shanghai. Perhaps missing Wen Rou greatly, Yan Fei did not dream at all on the night she left; he slept soundly until morning. Upon waking, he no longer felt troubled by that recurring forgotten dream.


    Having confirmed his rtionship with Wen Rou, Yan Fei should have been very happy. However, as Wen Rou left and he returned alone to Shanghai, the thought of meeting up with Lu Pingping made him calm down all of a sudden, and he felt a strange sensation in his heart.

    Chapter 186: Chapter 115: Assassin Sect


    At eleven o¡¯clock at night, after enduring a long dy, Yan Fei¡¯s airne finally arrived at Shanghai Airport. He calcted the time and had a sweet call with Wen Rou, who had safely arrived in the United States. However, before he could hang up, another call came through on his mobile phone. He nced at the caller ID and saw it was Liu Hong¡¯s number, Lu Pingping¡¯s personal bodyguard.


    He quickly exchanged a few words with Wen Rou before hanging up to answer Liu Hong¡¯s call. Yan Fei greeted ¡°Hello¡± several times, but Liu Hong¡¯s voice did note through. Confused, he checked the number again, thinking Liu Hong might have dialed him by mistake. Just as he was about to end the call, he heard Liu Hong¡¯s weak voice. Even with his exceptional hearing, he could not make out what she was trying to say.


    Liu Hong was an outstanding bodyguard rmended by the Shanghai Military Service Center, with strong professional skills. Although she usually spoke quickly and urgently, her voice was loud and clear¡ªshe would never sound like this. A shock went through Yan Fei¡¯s heart, and he hastily asked, ¡°Liu Hong¡­ can you hear me? What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±


    Once again, Liu Hong¡¯s faint voice came through the phone, still unintelligible. Then, after a gasp and a few coughs, her voice became clearer, and she said anxiously, ¡°Boss, it¡¯s bad news. Mr. Lu was just kidnapped.¡±


    Yan Fei felt his mind go nk with a ¡°boom,¡± and it took him a while to collect himself. He quickly asked, ¡°What did you say? Mr. Lu was just kidnapped?¡±


    Liu Hong coughed a few times, her voice weak as she said, ¡°Boss, I¡¯m sorry, we failed to protect him, and Mr. Lu was kidnapped.¡±


    Hearing that Lu Pingping was in trouble, Yan Fei felt dazed as if his soul was about to fly away. But he immediately forced himself to calm down and asked, ¡°Liu Hong, where are you now?¡±


    Liu Hong replied, ¡°I¡¯m in the woods at the end of Hongfei Road¡­¡±


    Before Liu Hong could finish, the call went silent. Holding the mute phone, Yan Fei became extremely panicked. But he quickly regained hisposure and started calling Lu Pingping¡¯s mobile. The automated message indicated that the phone was switched off. Stubborn, he tried calling several more times, but the answer was always the same. He then started calling thendline at Lu Pingping¡¯s house, but the phone rang for a long time without an answer.


    Finally, Yan Fei called Lu Pingping¡¯s office, and the call was quickly answered by the secretary she had left in charge at thepany. Through the secretary, Yan Fei learned that Lu Pingping had left thepany at ten o¡¯clock that evening, along with two female bodyguards. ording to Lu Pingping¡¯s schedule, she had nned to go home to rest.


    Having calmed down, Yan Fei promptly called the captain of thepany¡¯s security team, instructing them to immediately allocate personnel and ensure the safety of thepany, particrly the leaders at several key positions. Their security had to be guaranteed.

    After arranging security matters, Yan Fei hurriedly drove his car toward Hongfei Road at breakneck speed. His heart was filled with anxiety as he drove recklessly, even ignoring the traffic lights at intersections. Fortunately, this stretch of road was secluded, with no police patrols nearby, otherwise he would have been chased by the police.


    In just half an hour, Yan Fei reached the end of Hongfei Road, where a free parky at the terminus of the highway. The park was well-greened, with many trees, and had the reputation of a forest park. However, it was remote, and at night, it was nearly deserted. Lu Pingping¡¯s house was nearby, so she had to pass through this park on her way home from work.


    Yan Fei got out of the car and began searching for Lu Pingping¡¯s bodyguard, Liu Hong. Under the dim park lights, he finally found Lu Pingping¡¯s vehicle on a secluded path. He hurried over and discovered arge hole in the front windshield, smeared with blood. The interior of the car was a mess, bearing the signs of a fierce struggle.


    Bodyguard Liu Hong was lying on the driver¡¯s seat, with a huge wound on her abdomen, covered in blood and motionless, her condition unknown. The other bodyguard, Wang Li,y in front of the car soaked in blood, her neck twisted unnaturally, and the situation looked dire. Lu Pingping, who should have been in the car, was nowhere to be found.


    Suppressing the unease in his heart, Yan Fei stepped forward to check for any breath in Wang Li on the ground, only to find her long deceased. Returning to the car, he found that despite Liu Hong¡¯s severe injuries and unconscious state, she still had a faint pulse. Liu Hong had fought desperately, and even with her grievous wounds, she had made a call to Yan Fei to inform him of Lu Pingping¡¯s kidnapping. She had only apologized on the phone and hadn¡¯t mentioned Wang Li¡¯s murder or her own critical injuries.


    After confirming the kidnapping of Lu Pingping at the scene, Yan Fei felt an emptiness in his heart, as if he had lost the most important thing. He started to worry. Although Lu Pingping had lived afortable life after surviving a family tragedy, she hadn¡¯t experienced much hardship. Now that she was kidnapped, she might face torture, and he wondered whether she would be able to endure.

    Yan Fei began to observe the surroundings, hoping to find some information about the kidnappers or discover where Lu Pingping had been taken, so he could go and rescue her. However, he was no professional and couldn¡¯t discern any hidden clues amidst the chaotic scene. He didn¡¯t know who was behind this, but had an intuition that this kidnapping was definitely rted to him.


    He had put up a Bounty on the Dark Web within the Underworld, offering a staggering one hundred million US Dors, attracting Assassins eager to take him down. But he always kept a low profile, and even though he had appeared near the Yunnan National Border on this trip, he left there immediately, giving no chance for the Assassins seeking his life. It¡¯s possible that the kidnappers targeted Lu Pingping because they couldn¡¯t find an opportunity to kill Yan Fei, thinking that by doing so, they could get to Yan Fei.


    With this possibility in mind, Yan Fei felt guilty beyond measure. Because of him, Lu Pingping had suffered on his behalf and found herself in danger. If these kidnappers were indeed targeting Yan Fei, then Lu Pingping would be safe until they made contact with him. He quickly made a decision, though unsure if it was the right one ¡ª he decided to call the police. Even though involving the police might put Lu Pingping in greater peril, it seemed like the best option avable. If the kidnappers were after Yan Fei, they likely wouldn¡¯t harm Lu Pingping until they achieved their goal.


    If Yan Fei chose not to call the police, he would be clueless in dealing with the kidnapping, unable to find any leads or chances to rescue Lu Pingping. Hence, he had to rely on the skills of police professionals to quickly help him uncover clues to crack the case. With clues in hand, he could deploy the Drone to rescue Lu Pingping.


    By kidnapping Lu Pingping, whatever their goal, the abductors had crossed Yan Fei¡¯s red line. He had decided that the moment he found any clue of these kidnappers, regardless of who they were, even if they were hiding in Shanghai, once he confirmed Lu Pingping¡¯s safety, he would deploy the Drone without hesitation to kill them all, even if it meant exposing his secrets. His murderous intent towards these kidnappers was even stronger than when he faced Ryoko Oogawa of the Oogawa Family, as these people had targeted the innocent Lu Pingping, not him directly.


    Upon receiving Yan Fei¡¯s emergency call, learning that the General Manager of Dream Technology had been kidnapped with her whereabouts unknown, the entire Shanghai circle was shocked. The subsidiary of Dream Technology, Dream Foods, was a star Enterprise in Shanghai with the potential to grow into an international giant, and the disappearance of a high-ranking Company figure on their own turf was a serious incident. Under the attention of Shanghai¡¯s higher-ups, the Criminal Investigation Team mobilized quickly, with team leader Wei Chao personally arriving at the crime scene to lead the search operation.


    Wei Chao and his expert team carefully examined the scene, collecting various pieces of left-behind data. The already dead Wang Li had been covered with a white cloth and sent to the morgue, while the severely injured Liu Hong had been taken to the best Hospital in Shanghai for emergency treatment. The police tested the bloodstains left at the scene and found they all belonged to Wang Li and Liu Hong, with no trace of Lu Pingping¡¯s blood, which somewhat eased Yan Fei¡¯s worries. It was also frightening to see the formidable Strength of the kidnappers; Wang Li and Liu Hong were Experts from the military equipped with Pistols, but they were killed or severely injured in directbat without injuring the opponent, indicating that the kidnappers¡¯ capabilities far surpassed theirs.


    Yan Fei watched the police tirelessly gather information, while he sat at the crime scene, concerned for Lu Pingping¡¯s safety, motionless. In just half a night, his face became rough with stubble, looking haggard and worn.


    After checking the progress of the search, Wei Chao came over to Yan Fei and asked, ¡°Mr. Yan, we need to collect some intelligence, so I have a few questions for you, would that be alright?¡±


    Yan Fei replied, ¡°Yes, ask away!¡±


    Wei Chao inquired, ¡°Where were you when Lu Pingping disappeared?¡±


    Yan Fei recalled, ¡°I had just returned from Banna City, and she must have been taken around the time I just got off the Airne.¡±


    One of Wei Chao¡¯s subordinates quickly noted down the conversation between him and Yan Fei, and Wei Chao continued to ask, ¡°Does Lu Pingping have any enemies?¡±


    After some thought, Yan Fei shook his head and said, ¡°Lu Pingping has always been measured in her actions. Even if she offended anyone, she would not do so irreparably. So, she couldn¡¯t have any enemies, let alone someone who hated her enough to kidnap her.¡±


    Wei Chao then asked, ¡°Has your Company made any enemies in the business world?¡±


    Reminded by Wei Chao¡¯s question, Yan Fei immediately thought of Greensun Capital, with whom they had irrevocably fallen out. Could it be possible that Greensun Capital arranged for Lu Pingping¡¯s kidnapping, aiming to make him yield and achieve their goal of investing in the Company? But Greensun Capital had already deployed business partners to blockade his Company¡¯s products from entering the international Market; they wouldn¡¯t need to kidnap Lu Pingping as well, would they? If he found out Greensun Capital was behind it, even if they did manage to invest in Dream Technology, he might choose a scorched-earth policy, ensuring they gained nothing. Having been established for many years, Greensun Capital should understand this, so the likelihood of them waging war on two fronts against Yan Fei seemed small.

 Chapter 189 - 116: Coming in Droves

    Chapter 189: Chapter 116: Coming in Droves


    In just a moment, the Auxiliary Brain had collected a vast amount of data on the Assassin Sect from the inte. Yan Fei took a careful look and realized he truly was ignorant of the wider world. The Assassin Sect was not some unknown name; on the contrary, they were the most famous assassin organization in the world, with a history that is nearly a millennium old.


    In historical records and even in fantastical tales, there were numerous legends and depictions about the Assassin Sect. ording to documented evidence, this sect was terrifyingly proficient, having assassinated countless famous figures, including some significant historical personalities and even kings of European Principalities. The very name of the Assassin Sect struck fear in the hearts of all throughout Europe and the Middle East, as they wrought havoc for centuries.


    The fearsome reputation of the Assassin Sect was rted to their methods of training assassins. In the travelogue of Marco Polo, the process of creating these assassins was detailed:


    @@novelbin@@


    ¡°Huo Shan, between two mountains and within a valley, built a great garden, unmatched in beauty. It contained every fruit from around the world, as well as opulent pces like none on earth had seen before, adorned with gold and embedded with a hundred different things, with conduits containing wine, milk, honey, and water. The most beautiful women of the world, skilled in music, dance, and singing, filled the ce, dazzling all who saw them.¡±


    This garden was constructed in ordance with human imaginations of paradise, but on normal days, it was blocked by massive stones, inessible to ordinary people, with only those granted permission by Huo Shan able to enter this ¡°paradise.¡±


    After constructing the grand garden, Huo Shan would regrly recruit a group of boys, around twelve or thirteen years old, all of whom volunteered to be warriors. Huo Shan trained them until they reached seventeen or eighteen, at which point he would drug them with a sleeping potion and carry them into the grand garden. When these young men awoke, they were so stunned by the beautiful sight before them that they believed they had entered heaven and began to indulge to their hearts¡¯ content.


    After these young men spent several weeks in bliss, Huo Shan would have them drugged again, and then removed from the garden. Upon waking and realizing they were no longer in paradise, they felt profoundly disappointed. That¡¯s when Huo Shan would tell them, ¡°If youplete the daunting task assigned by our organization with your dying breath, you can return to ¡®paradise¡¯ after death!¡±


    Thus, assassins of the Assassin Sect often carried out assassination tasks with no regard for their own lives, yearning for death, and as a result, they were often sessful.


    In those KB years, once the Assassin Sect identified an assassination target, they would first write a polite letter to the individual. The letter was rtively courteous, asking the person to offer gold and silver as a ransom to save their own life. If the ransom was received, the Assassin Sect would then spare the target. However, if no ransom was sent within the stipted time, they would proceed with the assassination.


    The Assassin Sect was historically the first group to evolve assassination methods into an art form, possessing potent killing skills. No matter what means the victim had for defense, in the end, they would be sessfully assassinated by the sect. Countless individuals throughout history did not take the threats of the Al-Assassin seriously, only to meet their demise the following day, including several kings. The death of these individuals also contributed to the imposing reputation of the Assassin Sect.


    ording to historical records, the base of the Assassin Sect was located on a snowy peak in the Middle East. Whenever their leader assumed their position, they would change their name to Huo Shan, known also as the Old Man of the Mountains. This mysterious organization stretched for centuries, having a hand in countless historical processes, earning them the title of history¡¯s makers.


    It was this immense notoriety that even led to the English word ¡°assassin¡± originating from this very sect. Even in the novels of the Chinese Martial Arts master Quan Tong, there were mentions of the Assassin Sect, regarded with utmost admiration. The sect¡¯s biography even inspired an American game developer to create a major video game series, the renowned ¡°Assassin¡¯s Creed¡±, whichter was adapted into a film that enjoyed sess at the box office. This indicates how extensive the influence of the Assassin Sect was, truly formidable indeed.


    However, the historical Assassin Sect had been eradicated by the Mongol armies on their western campaign several centuries ago; for the past few hundred years, there had been no sight of them, so it was assumed they had vanished into the annals of history. Unexpectedly, after several centuries, they had re-emerged in Shanghai, targeting Yan Fei and kidnapping Lu Pingping, demanding a 3 billion US Dor ransom from him.


    Yan Fei was shocked that this infamous historical assassin organization had targeted him; this waspletely contrary to his previous deductions, as the people he suspected had nothing to do with Lu Pingping¡¯s kidnapping. If this Assassin Sect was indeed that historical assassination organization, then they were not the type to be directed by any other individual or organization, nor would they be connected to the bounties on the Dark Web. Their confrontation with him was likely purely motivated by his money, evidenced by their initial demand for a 3 billion US Dor ransom. ording to historical lore, as long as the ransom was paid, the Assassin Sect would spare their target. But those who attempted resistance met with a terrible end, dying a horrific death.


    While Yan Fei¡¯s Weight Loss Cookies had not yet entered the International Market, the Chinese Market alone had made him enormously wealthy, so it was no surprise that the Assassin Sect would set their sights on him. Although Yan Fei was powerful, and even had the Drone Avatar at his disposal, he still felt a bit out of his depth when facing the Assassin Sect, known as history¡¯s makers.

    Chapter 190: Chapter 116 Overwhelming_2


    Seeing Yan Fei staring absentmindedly at the letter, Wei Chao took it from Yan Fei¡¯s hands. After ncing over the contents, he was startled and quickly walked aside to call and report thetest developments to those above.


    It took quite a while for Yan Fei to recover from the shock. He looked at the female secretary and asked, ¡°How much cash is left in the Company¡¯s bank ount right now?¡±


    The female secretary was Lu Pingping¡¯s dedicated assistant and was well-versed in the Company¡¯s data, as she assisted Lu Pingping with Company matters. She quickly replied, ¡°Boss, as ofst night, there is still a fund of 1.5 billion in thepany ount. Oh, and that 1.5 billion is all in RMB.¡±


    Yan Fei had previously bought an unfinished building, followed by its design and renovation, and the overhaul and construction of the new factory in the Jinshan Development Zone, along with obtaining data from a world-famous immune system researchboratory. All of this had cost a significant amount of money. Therefore, even though Dream Foods was making a fortune every day, there was not much left in the ounts. The ransom demanded by the Assassin Sect was 3 billion US dors, which was nearly 20 billion RMB. The funds currently in the Company¡¯s ount were far from sufficient.


    It was already the next morning, and the professional police on site were still busy trying to find clues about the kidnapping. However, Yan Fei, now knowing the kidnappers¡¯ information, chose not to stay there. He wasn¡¯t sure if this group iming to be the Assassin Sect was really the historic one or if someone else was masquerading as the sect to extort him. His sole focus was on the 3 billion dor ransom.


    Lu Pingping had always been by Yan Fei¡¯s side, and he hadn¡¯t felt anything was amiss. But now that Lu Pingping had been kidnapped and was in danger, Yan Fei felt a hollow sense of loss. It was then that he realized just how important Lu Pingping was to him. He had to save her; the value of their rtionship could not be measured in money.


    Upon returning to the Company, Yan Fei immediately convened a meeting with the senior leaders, then asked the manager of the Finance Department to call the heads of major banks in Shanghai, saying he intended to visit them. Yan Fei needed to save Lu Pingping, but he didn¡¯t have enough cash on hand and had to seek a bank loan. Only in this way could he raise such arge sum of money in a short period. With no leads on the kidnappers, he had to prepare the money as per the kidnappers¡¯ demands to avoid any unforeseen situations. Although 3 billion dors was a lot, it was not as important as Lu Pingping to Yan Fei.


    The head of Finance quickly arranged appointments for Yan Fei with the heads of major banks in Shanghai, and Yan Fei made preparations for the visits. Previously, these bank heads had visited Yan Fei a couple of times, but Yan Fei had not been short of funds at the time and had declined their loan proposals. Now, however, the roles were reversed, with Yan Fei being the one asking these bank heads for help.


    @@novelbin@@


    Yan Fei had anticipated that these bank visits might involve some loss of dignity, but he hadn¡¯t expected the situation to be this tough. The bank heads were initially quite warm when they saw Yan Fei, but their expressions changed drastically when they heard his request for a 3 billion dor loan. They all imed they didn¡¯t have that much cash avable and couldn¡¯t meet Yan Fei¡¯s request.


    Yan Fei initially thought that a single bank might be low on funds, so he wasn¡¯t concerned. But after being rejected by several major banks one after another, he began to have a bad feeling. Even his suggestion for several banks to join forces and loan him the money was rejected. At this point, Yan Fei came to a realization: even if funds were tight, these banks could surelybine resources to loan out 3 billion dors, but they all chose to refuse. It seemed that Lu Pingping¡¯s kidnapping was not as straightforward as it appeared ¨C he might have fallen into someone else¡¯s trap.


    It should be noted that the Weight Loss Cookies were now selling an average of 2 billion RMB per day, which amounted to 73 billion RMB a year or about 12 billion US dors, not even counting the international market. With such a huge cash flow, plus the fixed asset of the new Dream Technology Headquarters skyscraper, raising a 3 billion US dor loan from banks should be effortless. Normally, Dream Technology would be considered a prime asset by bankers, and if Yan Fei were to put out the word, probably banks around the world would be moring to lend him money. The fact that all banks Yan Fei approached refused to lend to Dream Technology was highly unusual and implied that someone was scheming against him.


    Lu Pingping had previously disapproved of Yan Fei¡¯s refusal to take bank loans, even expressing her concerns to him, but Yan Fei had been stubborn at the time and stuck to his decision. As a result, whether it was purchasing the unfinished building, acquiring a new factory, or trading forboratory data, they had used their own cash, not resorting to bank financing. Now, the repercussions hade swiftly, as Dream Technology had lost the support of the banks, leaving Yan Fei without their backing in a critical moment.


    Under other circumstances, Yan Fei might have epted theck of support from banks, but this time the situation was different. Lu Pingping was still in the hands of others; he needed money for a rescue. Lu Pingping was extremely important to Yan Fei; he would spare no expense to save her. If he knew who had kidnapped Lu Pingping, even if he couldn¡¯t raise the 3 billion dors, he would go after them and save Lu Pingping his own way. But without any information from the kidnappers, he couldn¡¯t use force; he could only obediently gather the ransom as demanded by the kidnappers, putting Lu Pingping¡¯s safety above all else.

 Chapter 191 - 116: One After Another_3

    Chapter 191: Chapter 116: One After Another_3


    Yan Fei hustled all day outside, but no bank was willing to lend to him, which left him somewhat disappointed. He had thought that even if several banks didn¡¯t support him, there would surely be some that would, only to find out in the end he hade up empty-handed, with no one willing to help him.


    With only three days to spare, time was already extremely urgent, and Yan Fei had wasted a day. With no other choice, Yan Fei had to turn to the Shanghai Municipal Government for help.


    The Shanghai Municipal Government didn¡¯t refuse Yan Fei¡¯s request, but the amount of capital involved was huge, and the city¡¯s leaders needed to hold a meeting to discuss it, so they could only ask Yan Fei to wait patiently.


    Although Yan Fei was burning with impatience, he knew that government affairs required a process. While he didn¡¯t get a definite answer from the government right away, at least there was hope, so he continued to wait. But as time ticked away, with still no word from the government, Yan Fei began to get anxious and had his secretary contact Green Pine Capital, which had previously attempted to invest in hispany, hoping to negotiate with them once more.


    At this critical moment, Yan Fei could no longer care that he had previously had a falling out with them; he began to consider agreeing to their request to buy shares. With no good newsing from the government, he had to find another way out, lest he be unable to cope with any unexpected circumstances.


    However, to Yan Fei¡¯s surprise, when his secretary contacted Green Pine Capital, they seemed to have lost their previous urgency about Dream Technology and were not as eager as before. Although they agreed to renegotiate with Yan Fei regarding the shares, they set the negotiation for a weekter.


    Yan Fei was incredibly angry. In a week¡¯s time, regardless of whether Lu Pingping was alive or dead, this matter would have already ended. What use would it be for Green Pine Capital to talk about shares then? However, after noticing the peculiar behavior of Green Pine Capital, a thought suddenly struck him: could the Lu Pingping kidnapping incident really be rted to Green Pine Capital? Had they, upon his rejection of their investment, ostensibly appliedmercial pressure on him, while secretly setting this trap to make him panic? Were they not interested in investing in Dream Technology, but rather waiting for an opportune time to achieve the best negotiation result at a lower price? Could the Assassin Sect be something made up to scare him, the real purpose being to throw him into chaos, so they could win amidst the disorder?


    With this suspicion, Yan Fei instructed the Drone Assisted Intelligent Brain to search extensively on the Network World, trying to determine if the Assassin Sect really existed, or to find evidence linking Green Pine Capital to the kidnapping of Lu Pingping. Unfortunately, the Auxiliary Brain was ultimately aputer and could only perform searches based on Yan Fei¡¯s instructions, unable to take initiative. Thus, it found no useful leads on the Inte.


    Yan Fei had discovered the Dark Web of the underground world and logged into it through the Auxiliary Brain. There, he found a massive number of Bounty Tasks. The range of tasks was vast, from those wanting to purchase explosives, to those aimed at overthrowing a government in Africa, to even assassinating the President of The United States of America. With all manner of strange and bizarre tasks, there was everything one could think of. He even found a bounty notice for assassinating himself, identical to what the man in the ck Robe had described, with a bounty of one hundred million US Dors.


    Therefore, Yan Fei logged onto the Dark Web again, hoping to find some clues. However, among the tasks published on the Dark Web, he found nomission rted to the kidnapping of Lu Pingping. The Assassin Sect, which had kidnapped Lu Pingping, seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, quickly getting a hold of Yan Fei¡¯s weak spot and backing him into a corner.


    While Yan Fei took the initiative on one front, on another, Wei Chao of the Shanghai Criminal Investigation Team had set up his operation center at the Dream Technology Headquarters Building, hoping to find more leads to rescue Lu Pingping. After all, Lu Pingping, currently the General Manager of Dream Technology, was also considered an important public figure at the national level, and her kidnapping in Shanghai was a loss of face for them.


    After Wei Chao reported to higher-ups, the mysterious China Special Duties Unit also began to move, gathering intelligence about the Assassin Sect everywhere. However, they had not obtained any useful intelligence in a short time.


    The Assassin Sect seemed very confident about themselves, not preventing Yan Fei from reporting to the police in their extortion letter but rather acting as if they were afraid Yan Fei wouldn¡¯t report it, exuding an air of absolute control, not at all afraid of escting the situation. This waspletely unlike other kidnapping cases, where the kidnappers usually demand that the police are not involved. From this perspective, the modus operandi of this Assassin Sect seemed quite simr to the sect that dominated the world centuries ago.


    Until the second day, Wei Chao¡¯s investigation team had not found any concrete clues, and the unconscious female bodyguard, Liu Hong, hadn¡¯t awakened to provide more intelligence. Meanwhile, the China Special Duty Group hadn¡¯t found any breakthrough clues either. However, they brought back one piece of intelligence rted to the Assassin Sect. In their investigation, it appeared that the Assassin Sect that had emerged was indeed the one historically annihted by the Mongol cavalry. But the organization¡¯s members had elusive movements, and even with the capabilities of the China Special Duty Group, they had not been able to find their whereabouts for the time being.


    Just when Yan Fei was extremely anxious, another explosive piece of news came through. The Dream Foods Processing Factory had been notified by the local Township: since the previous owner of the Food Processing Factory had used improper means when signing thend use agreement, the agreement concerning the township¡¯snd had been deemed invalid. The Food Processing Factory had to shut down immediately, demolish the structures aboveground, and return thend to the local township.


    @@novelbin@@


    Together with this notification came the factory¡¯s doors sealed, and the workers inside were forced to stop working. And this halt in production meant the cash cow of Dream Technology, the Weight Loss Cookies, waspletely extinguished. Without the support of the Weight Loss Cookies, not to mention safely rescuing Lu Pingping, even Dream Technology might not be able to survive. Arge amount of breach of contract indemnities and consumerints could lead to Dream Technology going bankrupt¡­

 Chapter 192 - 117: Unexpected

    Chapter 192: Chapter 117: Unexpected


    When Yan Fei found out that the township had forcibly taken back thend from the Food Processing Factory, he couldn¡¯t help but sneer inwardly. He had long known about the previous Food Factory owner¡¯s bribery of the township officials, and he realized that they would reim thend under the influence of that small group. That¡¯s why he had prepared in advance, acquiring a new Food Processing Factory in the Jinshan Development Zone under Suzhou in Lin Province and was always ready to start producing Weight Loss Cookies there.


    What Yan Fei didn¡¯t expect was for the township to choose this particr moment, without any warning, to abruptly take back thend use rights. This turn of events made him see a fact clearly. The kidnapping of Lu Pingping was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface; it involved a wide range and could be described as a case of ¡°pull one hair and move the whole body.¡±


    Yan Fei had thought it was just a small group of people who hadn¡¯t caught the Weight Loss Cookies gravy train harassing him, but now it seemed that their actions were likely just a small part of arger, more sinister conspiracy.


    Facing the sudden shutdown of the factory due to this unexpected incident, and without Lu Pingping there to takemand, a sense of panic began to spread within the Company. However, Yan Fei immediately stood out, presented the contingency n, and directed everyone to follow it. It was because of him standing at the forefront that everyone calmed down and started handling the relevant work in an orderly fashion. Yan Fei¡¯s ability tomand such authority despite often being absent from the Company and not dealing withpany affairs was also due to Lu Pingping¡¯s deliberate efforts to maintain his authority within the Company. The image of an all-capablepany boss had long since been ingrained in everyone¡¯s hearts.


    @@novelbin@@


    In response to the factory shutdown, Yan Fei told the workers of the Food Processing Factory to take a holiday and return home, then wait for further notice from the Company. On the other hand, he had not arranged for the Food Factory in the Jinshan Development Zone to officially start producing Weight Loss Cookies. He was still waiting; he wanted the mastermind behind the scenes toe forward voluntarily, after which he would catch everything in one go, eliminating future troubles once and for all.


    As for the Weight Loss Cookies agents who had paid but didn¡¯t receive their goods, those who chosepensation were to be paid promptly, but they would then be added directly to the cklist and cut off from future cooperation. For consumers, relying on the current stock was sufficient for the time being and was not a major issue. Once the stock was depleted, Lu Pingping¡¯s situation would surely be resolved, and by then, the new Food Factory would have started producing Weight Loss Cookies.


    In Shanghai, the Municipal Government held a full-day meeting to discuss Yan Fei¡¯s plea for help. Despite the heated arguments during the meeting, no immediate conclusion was reached. It was said that the leaders at the meeting were divided into two factions, one believing they should help Dream Technology through this difficult time, considering the significant contributions Dream Technology had made to China¡¯s development. Yet another faction believed that the government should not interfere too much in enterprise affairs; these matters should be resolved by the enterprises themselves. Moreover, the nation had already dispatched elite forces to investigate the case, and they were confident that the case would be solved soon and the victim rescued.


    Not only that, but the opposing faction also believed that the 3 billion US Dors in cash was of a special nature, akin to bowing to the KB operatives. It¡¯s known that no government organization in the world has openly bowed to KB operatives before. If they chose to support Yan Fei this time, it would mean that the Chinese Government was bowing to the KB Organization. And if they bowed this time, there might be more kidnapping cases in the future. What then would the Government do? Therefore, setting this precedent was absolutely uneptable and would be akin to abetting tyranny.


    Meanwhile, there was no good news from several banks in Shanghai; not even one was willing to help Yan Fei, all refusing Dream Technology¡¯s loan requests on the grounds of difficult capital turnover. Fortunately, Yan Fei had not taken loans from banks before; otherwise, in the midst of this crisis, coupled with the forced shutdown of the Food Factory and the inability to produce Weight Loss Cookies, it might lead to a situation where banks demand repayment, resulting in the ruin of Dream Technology.


    Yan Fei had also not received any intelligence about Lu Pingping¡¯s kidnapping; even the Auxiliary Brain found no trace on the Inte. Without locating Lu Pingping, Yan Fei was unable to use Martial Force to rescue her. Thus, he could only strive to raise money for the ransom, but it seemed as if a huge force was sabotaging his efforts, making all his attempts to raise funds futile. Although he had converted the entire 1.5 billion RMB in thepany¡¯s ount into US Dors, the amount was only 250 million US Dors, which was still far from the kidnappers¡¯ demand of 3 billion US Dors.


    Dream Technology was definitely worth 3 billion US Dors; even if the Food Factory was temporarily shut down, it couldn¡¯t affect Dream Technology¡¯s valuation. However, at this critical juncture, no one was willing to assist Dream Technology¡ªnot even the VC Companies that had previously been willing to invest now chose to stay far away. These actions greatly disheartened Yan Fei. In his anxiousness, Yan Fei was about to contact loansharks to borrow money.


    Just as Yan Fei was overwhelmed with worry for Lu Pingping¡¯s safety, juggling the Company¡¯s mess, and preparing to contact loansharks, a group of people suddenly arrived at his Company. Leading this group was a middle-aged man with a severe expression and cold demeanor. The Security stopped them from entering due to theck of an appointment, while they tried to force their way in. With one side trying to enter and the other trying to block them, a quarrel ensued outside the Company.

 Chapter 193 - 117: Unexp

    Chapter 193: Chapter 117: Unexp


    After hearing the noise outside, Yan Fei walked out with a cold face and saw this group of people in thepany¡¯s corridor. The stern middle-aged man saw Yan Fei, stretched out his hand expressionlessly, and said, ¡°Mr. Yan Fei, I¡¯ve long admired your reputation. I am Yang Liu from the Yang Family of Beijing.¡±


    Yan Fei felt a stir in his heart. This stern middle-aged man was Yang Liu from the Yang Family of Beijing. Previously, Yang Liu¡¯s son, Yang Song, had caused trouble in hispany and had been severely taught a lesson by Yan Fei. At that time, Lu Pingping had reminded him to be wary of Yang Liu, andter Yang Wanlin¡¯s visit to probe for intelligence had made Yan Fei highly vignt of this Yang Liu. He had been waiting for the mastermind behind the scenes to reveal themselves, and now at this critical moment, Yang Liu had suddenly appeared at hispany. Could it be that Yang Liu was the mastermind behind this kidnapping?


    Yan Fei first stopped the security, then extended his hand and shook hands with Yang Liu, keeping hisposure, and said, ¡°So it¡¯s President Yang, wee to visit. May I inquire about the purpose of your visit this time?¡±


    s furious but asked with an expressionless face, ¡°President Yang, what is the meaning of this?¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    spoke again, ¡°Mr. Yan Fei, you must be hoping for the best, still waiting for the final decision of Shanghai¡¯s Municipal Government. However, I must tell you unfortunate news. The Government will definitely note to a concrete decision within three days about whether they¡¯ll help you. Are you curious how I know this?¡±


    Yan Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he asked, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m very curious. How do you know this?¡±


    Yang Liu smiled and said, ¡°Because I exerted a lot of effort in the middle. Those who opposed helping you, all of them have been persuaded by me and the forces behind me, which is why they are so adamantly against it.¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°Don¡¯t those who oppose helping me understand the current domestic atmosphere? Do they still dare to oppose aiding apany that has the potential to be a major international enterprise in the future?¡±

    Chapter 196: Chapter 118: Critical Moment_2


    Yu Xiaozhou looked at Yan Fei with a serious expression and said, ¡°Mr. Yan, we are extremely regretful about the kidnapping of General Manager Lu Pingping from yourpany, and we deeply sympathize. Our department has always attached great importance to this case and is stepping up efforts to crack it. Through our investigation, we have uncovered some relevant clues.¡±


    Yan Fei¡¯s spirit was lifted. The China Special Duties Unit was one of the most secretive and powerful departments in China, capable of mobilizing more resources. The fact that he couldn¡¯t find any useful information didn¡¯t mean they couldn¡¯t as well. Hope ignited within him, and he eagerly asked, ¡°What clues? Please tell me right away.¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou replied seriously, ¡°Regarding the Assassin Sect that kidnapped Lu Pingping, we¡¯ve managed to gather some intelligence about them. The main purpose of our visit is to warn you. If you want Lu Pingping to return safely, make sure not to provoke them.¡±


    Yan Fei frowned and said, ¡°Why can¡¯t we provoke them? Could it be that the Assassin Sect is actually the historical organization of assassins?¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou nodded and said, ¡°Indeed, in our investigation, we¡¯ve found that the Assassin Sect is indeed the remnants of that notorious organization of assassins. Everyone thought that the organization had beenpletely annihted by the Mongols¡¯ western campaigns. But unexpectedly, there was a secret branch that survived; the Assassin Sect had offended too many people or forces in that era, and after losing most of their strength, they could no longer withstand the vengeance of their enemies. They had to go into hiding and haven¡¯t reemerged for centuries. It wasn¡¯t until this new Old Man of the Mountains rose unexpectedly, strengthening the organization, that they became active in the world again.¡±


    Yan Fei asked, ¡°But why haven¡¯t I ever heard any news about the reappearance of this organization before?¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou said, ¡°The Assassin Sect reemerged only six months ago. Their targets are the wealthiest people in the world, so although they have sessfully extorted several tycoons and obtained astonishing wealth, the silence of those tycoons has kept the general public in the dark. Only one Russian tycoon rejected their extortion, so his son was kidnapped, a ransom note followed, and the tycoon mysteriously died in his vi. We only began to investigate this organization after discovering Lu Pingping¡¯s kidnapping by the Assassin Sect and were surprised to find that they had indeed resurrected.¡±


    Yan Fei frowned and said, ¡°Are the kidnappings alone enough to prove they are people from the Assassin Sect?¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou said, ¡°We have our own informants in the Middle East, and this information came from one of them. We trust the authenticity of the intelligence he provides. So we are certain that the Assassin Sect has revived, and the one who kidnapped Lu Pingping is indeed a bona fide assassin from the Assassin Sect.¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°The Assassin Sect couldn¡¯t have suddenly be this powerful, right? There must be backers behind them. Who are those backers?¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou shook his head and said, ¡°Their rise has been too swift, so for the time being, we don¡¯t know who¡¯s supporting them. We¡¯ve just discovered the existence of this faction, so there¡¯s very little information avable.¡±


    Yan Fei asked, ¡°Does the Assassin Sect honor their word?¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    Yu Xiaozhou said, ¡°Based on historical records and the recent happenings with the kidnapping cases of the tycoons, the Assassin Sect still appears to keep their word. They release the hostages after receiving the money, and all who resist meet with untimely deaths.¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°Have you only been investigating the Assassin Sect these past few days? Have you looked into how Lu Pingping was taken after the kidnapping and where she is now hidden?¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou appeared somewhat ashamed and said, ¡°We utilized the Sky Eye System to scrutinize the surveince footage in Shanghai that evening. We only discovered that Lu Pingping was forced into a van, which then disappeared without a trace after passing through a tunnel. Therefore, we do not know Lu Pingping¡¯s current whereabouts.¡±


    Yan Fei was somewhat disappointed. He thought it over and said, ¡°So what do you want me to do?¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou said, ¡°I¡¯m here to see you, and actually, not everyone in our department agrees with this. Some people think it¡¯s necessary to inform you, lest you remain unaware of the specifics of the Assassin Sect and end up with Lu Pingping¡¯s death if they decide to rip up the ransom note, after all, both you and Lu Pingping have contributed to our country, and we naturally want to ensure your safety. Others didn¡¯t want to pass on this intelligence to you but rather track the payoff through you when you¡¯re paying the ransom, and use you to locate the Assassin Sect¡¯s hideout, leading to catching everything in one go and putting an end to future trouble in China. It was only after the older leaders and deputy group leader spoke that I was sent here to tell you about this.¡±


    Seeing that Yan Fei was listening intently, Yu Xiaozhou continued, ¡°The Assassin Sect is very powerful, so for Lu Pingping¡¯s safety, it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t act rashly. Our rmendation is to satisfy their demands for the moment, and wait until Lu Pingping is returned before devising any further strategy. Otherwise, you may not only fail to rescue Lu Pingping but also put yourself in danger.¡±


    Yan Fei nodded and said, ¡°I understand what you¡¯re suggesting. I¡¯ll sign thepany equity transfer contract with Yang Liuter, and once I have the money, I¡¯ll wire the ransom, first ensuring Lu Pingping¡¯s safety.¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou looked somewhat abashed and said, ¡°Mr. Yan Fei, I¡¯m truly sorry we couldn¡¯t be of much help this time.¡±

 Chapter 197 - 118 Critical Moment_3

    Chapter 197: Chapter 118 Critical Moment_3


    Yan Fei said, ¡°This matter has nothing to do with you, but when ites down to it, I actually have to thank you for informing me of this intelligence.¡±


    Yu Xiaozhou said, ¡°It¡¯s good that you can think of it that way. You¡¯re about to hold a news conference, so I won¡¯t disturb you any longer.¡±


    Having said that, Yu Xiaozhou turned and left. As she reached the door of the room, she suddenly stopped, looked back at Yan Fei, and said, ¡°Mr. Yan, have we met before? You look somewhat familiar to me, I just can¡¯t remember where I¡¯ve seen you.¡±


    To Yan Fei¡¯s surprise, this Yu Xiaozhou, being a worker on the specialbat front, had met him once in Japan and she had already formed an impression of him. Now that he had regained his original appearance, which was very different from the time in Japan, he hadn¡¯t expected that she would still harbor suspicions¡ªwomen¡¯s intuition was indeed terrifying.


    Although Yan Fei was surprised internally, his face did not betray any emotion. He said, ¡°I have amon face, simr to many others. You¡¯ve probably seen someone who looks like me!¡±


    Yu Xiaozhouughed and said, ¡°Hehe, Mr. Yan Fei is right; I must have mistaken you for someone else.¡±


    After finishing her words, Yu Xiaozhou left Yan Fei¡¯s office. However, once outside the door, her face took on a serious expression. Through rigorous training and years of working on specialbat fronts, she was unlikely to mistake someone¡¯s appearance. She had just felt a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu when facing Yan Fei, but couldn¡¯t remember where she had seen him, and so she left it at that!


    In the room, Yan Fei started to worry. He had always hoped that the Assassin Sect was a fake, a ploy created by someone to scare him. That way, he would have some hope of rescuing Lu Pingping; but now, having learned the details about the Assassin Sect from Yu Xiaozhou, he became very uneasy. Although the historic Assassin Sect was known for its credibility, there was no assurance that this newly risen organization wouldn¡¯t break the rules. What would he do if he paid the ransom and the Assassin Sect refused to release the hostage?


    Moreover, ever since the kidnapping incident urred, a series of actions targeting Dream Technology had begun. All of these made Yan Fei ponder the role that the Assassin Sect had yed in this affair. If the Assassin Sect was also involved in the actions aimed at dividing up Dream Technology, the chances of Lu Pingping¡¯s release became highly doubtful.


    Just then, an office worker outside informed Yan Fei that the signing ceremony was about to start and invited him to the venue. Yan Fei, with no solution in sight, could only temporarily set aside his troubles and take care of the ransom first. He sat expressionless at the signing table, facing a row of journalists from the media. Yang Liu sat next to Yan Fei, a picture of joy, chatting with friendly media friends, waiting only for 8 p.m. to arrive to officially sign the agreement.


    Yan Fei watched the crowd below with an expressionless face. At this moment, his heart suddenly became calm. After having gone through all these events, he had matured a lot. He understood what in the world was truly necessary for him, what could be relinquished. He had discovered his strengths, recognized his weaknesses, and these realizations had solidified his future direction and path.


    It was now 7:45 p.m., with the signing ceremony scheduled for 8 p.m. sharp. The final deadline set by the Assassin Sect for the ransom payment was 9 p.m. tonight. So, if the ceremony went ahead as nned, Yan Fei would be able to get the money immediately, then transfer it to the ount specified by the Assassin Sect, and secure Lu Pingping¡¯s return.


    As Yan Fei was calcting the time, he suddenly spotted someone among the journalists below. An old man with a white beard, with the air of an immortal, was holding a drink and flirting with a beautiful television hostess; whatever he had said made herugh heartily. The old man saw Yan Fei¡¯s gaze, raised his ss to him, and then turned back to continue his banter with the television hostess.


    Yan Fei suddenly stood up, startling Yang Liu who was beside him, who anxiously asked, ¡°Yan Fei, what are you doing?¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°Going to the toilet. Do I need your permission for that?¡±


    Yang Liu was taken aback, and Yan Fei walked out. He rounded a corner, then found the white-bearded old man in a corner of the room. Making sure no one was watching, he grabbed the old man¡¯s neck and dragged him into another room, closed the door, released the old man, and said, ¡°Old Man Gu, long time no see!¡±


    The white-bearded old man was indeed Old Man Gu, the man Yan Fei had met in Africa who possessed predictive ability. Yan Fei hadn¡¯t seen him since he mysteriously vanished after theirst encounter, and he certainly hadn¡¯t expected him to show up at his own signing ceremony. So, Yan Fei took action and brought him to this room.


    Old Man Gu, despite being released from the chokehold, still coughed violently for a while before catching his breath. He cursed, ¡°You youngster, why so rude? Can¡¯t you see I¡¯m an old man? Couldn¡¯t we have had a civilized conversation¡­¡±


    Yan Fei said, ¡°To you, isn¡¯t everything you¡¯re experiencing right now already within your predictive ability? It¡¯s all been predetermined, so why are you angry?¡±


    Old Man Gu cursed in a rage, ¡°I only have three chances each month to predict the future, you think I should use my predictive ability for every trivial matter? Without the predictive ability, I¡¯m just a doddering old man, how could I possibly stand against your fierce and menacing presence?¡±


    Yan Fei apologized, ¡°Old Man Gu, I just forgot about that. By the way, have you used up your ability to predict the future this month?¡±


    Old Man Gu blinked his eyes and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already used it up!¡±


    Yan Fei was taken aback and immediately became furious, vigorously shaking Old Man Gu¡¯s shoulders and saying, ¡°You old man, how could you not know the importance of things, why didn¡¯t you save a chance to predict the future? What am I supposed to do now with my question?¡±


    Old Man Gu shouted, ¡°Stop, stop right now¡­¡±


    In his disappointment, Yan Fei lost someposure, but he still let go of Old Man Gu. He had been on the verge of despair, about to sign thepany transfer agreement, but then he saw Old Man Gu, who could predict the future, in the audience, like clutching thest straw for survival. Who knew the old man had already used up this month¡¯s predictive power? How could he not be disappointed?


    After his disappointment, Yan Fei also calmed down and said, ¡°Old man, I¡¯m sorry, I lost my temper just now.¡±


    Old Man Gu vigorously rubbed his shoulders and said, ¡°Thatst time I used my predictive power was for you, you brat. And now you treat me like this, I¡¯m so heartbroken!¡±


    Yan Fei was startled and immediately overjoyed, saying, ¡°Old man, do you already know the question I want to ask you?¡±


    Old Man Gu began to act all mysterious and said, ¡°Of course I know, otherwise why would I be here? Same rules as always, write down your question, and I¡¯ll give you the answer right away.¡±


    Yan Fei was ted, hastily found a pen and paper in the room, wrote down his question, and then handed it to Old Man Gu.


    Old Man Gu took the piece of paper with Yan Fei¡¯s question, unfolded it, and saw that it read just a few words: ¡°Where is Lu Pingping now?¡±


    Old Man Gu¡¯s face revealed a mysterious smile, then he took an envelope from his chest and made a motion to hand it to Yan Fei. Just as Yan Fei was about to reach out, he saw a China UnionPay POS machine appear in Old Man Gu¡¯s hand, his face breaking into a sleazy smile, arching his eyebrows in a ¡®you know what I mean¡¯ expression.


    @@novelbin@@


    Yan Fei quickly took out his Supreme VIP Card and swiped it on the POS machine, transferring one million. Old Man Gu shook his head and said, ¡°Your heart isn¡¯t sincere, my predictive ability could fail!¡±


    Yan Fei immediately transferred another five million, and only then did Old Man Gu satisfiedly take back the POS machine and handed the envelope in his hand to Yan Fei.


    Yan Fei¡¯s hands trembled non-stop, and with great difficulty, he finally opened the envelope. Inside, the paper, written with an already dry brush, read: ¡°Lu Pingping is currently on the high seas!¡± Apart from this sentence, there were location coordinates!

 Chapter 198 - 119: Hurricane Rescue

    Chapter 198: Chapter 119: Hurricane Rescue


    Yan Fei exhausted every means but failed to obtain any information about Lu Pingping, thus he was constantly led by the nose by the person manipting things behind the scenes, at aplete disadvantage. Unexpectedly, the mysterious and unfathomable Old Man Gu made an appearance and informed Yan Fei of Lu Pingping¡¯s location coordinates, offering him the opportunity to break the stalemate.


    Knowing Lu Pingping¡¯s whereabouts filled Yan Fei¡¯s heart with joy, and he prepared to thank Old Man Gu when a slight noise was heard, followed by darkness as the room¡¯s lights suddenly went out. It turned out that this area had a rare power outage, but the building¡¯s backup power supply quickly kicked in, and the lights came back on.


    Yan Fei took a closer look and realized that Old Man Gu had vanished in that instant, just like his sudden disappearance in Africast time. Even with Yan Fei¡¯s extraordinary hearing, he could not detect how Old Man Gu had left.


    Yan Fei marveled internally, considering Old Man Gu to be a truly celestial being, always appearing and disappearing without a trace, with no one knowing where he came from or where he went. Most importantly, each time he appeared, he brought Yan Fei help and seemed to anticipate Yan Fei¡¯s questions, preparing the answers in advance. While Yan Fei had given Old Man Gu six million, he was certain that the money had already been transferred to some charity department¡¯s ount.


    After so many events, Yan Fei didn¡¯t believe that Old Man Gu would help him for no reason, and their chance meeting must have had some purpose. However, Old Man Gu¡¯s mystique was such that he didn¡¯t make any other demands from Yan Fei, leaving Yan Fei clueless about his true intentions. But for the moment, Old Man Gu did not seem to be an enemy.


    Had someone else told Yan Fei about Lu Pingping¡¯s location, he would have second-guessed the uracy of the information. He would even, just to be safe, continue with thepany transfer agreement with Yang Liu and get the ransom first. But Old Man Gu had proven his amazing abilities several times, and Yan Fei had no doubts about the address written on the paper.


    So the moment he had Lu Pingping¡¯s exact location, Yan Fei had a n. He quickly changed his appearance and stature, pulled out a set of clothes from the Universal Space and put them on, transforming into another person in a sh. Upon leaving the room, he saw that the journalists outside remained jovial, as if nothing had happened.


    Yan Fei approached the beautiful journalist whom Old Man Gu had previously chatted with and asked, ¡°The old man who just talked to you is my grandfather. May I ask, what did he say to you?¡±


    The beautiful journalist was taken aback and retorted, ¡°What are you talking about? When did I chat with an old man? I¡¯ve been discussing interview matters with my assistant all along.¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    Yan Fei pressed on, ¡°I clearly saw you talking just now!¡±


    The beautiful journalist dismissively said, ¡°Please, if you want to hit on a girl, at leaste up with a more reliable excuse. Your approachcks technique.¡±


    Yan Fei felt somewhat embarrassed, mistakenly taken for someone making a pass. ncing at the busy media journalists around, he said, ¡°It¡¯s good that this building has a backup power supply, otherwise the power outage just now could have caused big problems.¡±


    The beautiful journalist nonchntly distanced herself from Yan Fei, and whispered to her assistant, ¡°This man is either crazy or an idiot. Everything was fine just now, there was no power outage. We better stay away from him.¡±


    Yan Fei was taken aback, his admiration for Old Man Gu growing. Without further word, he quietly left the Dream Technology headquarters building, hopped on a motorcycle, and sped towards a remote part of Shanghai¡¯s coastline.


    At the signing venue, Yang Liu, filled with joy, eagerly awaited the time to sign the contract with Yan Fei, his heart brimming with the pleasure of victory. He hadid out his ns, taken the initiative, and was about to seize this favorable moment to bring Weight Loss Cookies under his control. With Weight Loss Cookies as a cash cow, the Yang Family of Beijing would enjoy at least another fifty years of glory.


    However, Yang Liu was puzzled as to why Yan Fei had been gone for so long. Could it be that the young man overindulged to the point of kidney failure, unable to leave the toilet? Little did Yang Liu know that Yan Fei would never sign the stock transfer agreement with him, that his actions were doomed to be futile and would only bring disaster upon himself.


    Yan Fei reached the secluded Shanghai coastline with the utmost speed, standing on a cliff by the sea, looking around to find the area deste, devoid of any people. Suddenly, he leaped down the cliff, and as he did so the sea below boiled, the Drone Avatar emerging, swiftly ascending into the sky.


    As the Drone rose into the sky, the cockpit hatch quickly opened. Yan Fei jumped down from the cliff andnded precisely in the pilot¡¯s seat, then the cockpit hatch closed rapidly. The Drone received Yan Fei in its own way, then turned and proceeded to fly low over the sea towards the east.


    Upon seeing the location coordinates on Old Man Gu¡¯s note, Yan Fei entered them into the Auxiliary Brain¡¯s map and discovered that the coordinates were in the middle of the Northwest Pacific Ocean, extremely remote, 1500 kilometers in a straight line from Shanghai and more than 800 kilometers from Okinawa, Japan. There were no inds nearby, with scarcely any shipping routes passing through the area, making it very safe and unlikely for the captive Lu Pingping to be discovered by the Assassin Sect.

 Chapter 199 - 119: Hurricane Rescue_2

    Chapter 199: Chapter 119: Hurricane Rescue_2


    Upon seeing the location coordinates, Yan Fei made an adjustment to his estimate of the Assassin Sect¡¯s strength. This assassin organization was definitely not simple, and underestimating them could likely lead to severe consequences. After all, no one could ignore an organization that was able to swiftly smuggle a hostage out of the heavily guarded Shanghai and hide them in the remote high seas, 1500 kilometers away from the scene of the crime, within three days.


    After the upgrade, the Drone¡¯s maximum speed reached Mach 3, which is 3672 kilometers per hour. In a hurry, it would take only about 25 minutes to get 1500 kilometers away. The only issue was that the Drone needed to avoid some of the radar surveince from The United States of America Navy and Japan Self-Defense Forces, so it needed a bit more time. Even so, it took Yan Fei only 30 minutes to rush to the coordinates from Shanghai.


    @@novelbin@@


    The Drone flew at full speed, and 30 minutester, Yan Fei was less than 100 kilometers from the coordinates. At this distance, the Drone¡¯s speed gradually decreased, and the onboard Quantum Radar began scanning a vast area. That was when arge cargo ship was spotted on the sea surface ahead. Therge ship was heading east, but its speed was not very fast. Other than that, there were no other ships nearby on the sea surface.


    Yan Fei looked at the coordinates and noticed although the cargo ship¡¯s position was slightly different from the one Old Man Gu had provided, he could almost be certain that this ship was the target mentioned by Old Man Gu. Thus, the Drone continued to fly forward until it was five kilometers from the ship and then descended into the sea, proceeding to approach the cargo ship from underneath.


    What surprised Yan Fei was that as soon as the Drone entered the ocean, the Quantum Radar detected a submarine hidden beneath that cargo ship. The submarine was closely attached to the underside of the ship, moving at the same speed as the ship. It was precisely because of the ship¡¯s cover on the sea surface that the Quantum Radar had not detected the submarine¡¯s existence while in the air.


    The Drone quickly approached the cargo ship and the submarine underneath. The noise from the Drone¡¯s underwater travel had been greatly reduced after the upgrade, and it was now almost indistinguishable from the ambient sea noise, so Yan Fei was very confident that the Drone would not be detected by the submarine. As the submarine was very small, appearing to be just about 1000 tons, and looked rather outdated, Yan Fei concluded that the submarine must be a second-hand model retired from service by some country or organization. Without high-tech equipment on board, Yan Fei trusted that the Drone¡¯s movements would go unnoticed by the opposition.


    The Drone carefully maneuvered beneath therge cargo ship and the small submarine, observing the situation above. At this point, the location coordinates disyed in the Auxiliary Brain matched exactly with the coordinates provided by Old Man Gu. Yan Fei was shocked; his pursuit of the submarine and cargo ship had been filled with on-the-spot decisions,den with uncertainty, yet when he actually caught up to the cargo ship, he realized he was right at the location Old Man Gu had given. After this actual field operation, Yan Fei realized Old Man Gu was genuinely gifted, his predictive ability undoubtedly real, and no one could question it any longer.


    If Yan Fei had harbored any doubts about Old Man Gu before, he now held nothing but the utmost respect for him. Since Old Man Gu could urately predict the future, he must also know about Yan Fei owning the Drone Avatar, as well as certain actions Yan Fei had taken. So how would Yan Fei face this mysterious Old Man Gu in the future?


    However, now was not the time to ponder how to deal with Old Man Gu. Yan Fei¡¯s objective was still to rescue Lu Pingping. So, the Drone Avatar approached the submarine and the cargo ship, starting to eavesdrop on the conversations inside.


    Unfortunately, the submarine was too sealed off, and possibly there was no talking inside, so Yan Fei couldn¡¯t hear anything. The cargo ship was also very quiet with no one talking, only the sound of someone operating the ship¡¯s equipment. Hence, Yan Fei was immediately at a loss, within the coordinates given by Old Man Gu was not only a cargo ship but also a submarine. Was Lu Pingping on the cargo ship or inside the submarine? Additionally, were the cargo ship and the submarine operated by the same entity? If not, why would the submarine conceal itself under the ship?


    It was precisely because the specifics were unclear that Yan Fei couldn¡¯t afford to act rashly. He had finally found a clue to Lu Pingping¡¯s whereabouts with Old Man Gu¡¯s help, and he wouldn¡¯t forgive himself if his negligence led to irreparable consequences.


    Yan Fei thought for a moment, then decided to have the Drone surface and it stayed hidden in the cargo ship¡¯s blind spot, then moved closer to the ship¡¯s side. Next, the Drone Cockpit¡¯s hatch opened, and Yan Fei climbed out of the Drone Cockpit, grabbed the ship¡¯sdder, and quietly climbed up onto the cargo ship. Meanwhile, the Drone Avatar submerged again to keep an eye on the submarine below.


    Now possessing tremendous strength and agility, Yan Fei could easily climb onto the cargo ship even without any protrusions for leverage, let alone with adder. So he climbed aboard with ease. Once on the ship, he found it very quiet, not hearing any voices, only the sound of crew members watching Satellite TV. It was around 8:40 PM, and the sea was pitch ck; most of the people on the ship were probably asleep. Those who weren¡¯t sleeping were either on duty or watching television programs.

 Chapter 201 - 120: Fangs of Ferocious Beasts

    Chapter 201: Chapter 120: Fangs of Ferocious Beasts


    Yan Fei began analyzing the intelligence he had obtained. He was certain that Old Man Gu possessed an amazing ability to foresee the future,, so when Old Man Gu said that Lu Pingping was at these coordinates, and he happened to find this cargo ship and submarine at the same location, it meant that Old Man Gu had not lied to him. Lu Pingping must be at this location. The only issue was that there were two different targets at this spot: one was the cargo ship on the sea surface and the other was the submarine below.


    The cargo ship had set sail from China¡¯s Min River two days before Lu Pingping was kidnapped. Yan Fei had just checked the ship¡¯s log in the room and discovered that the ship had been heading toward The United States of America the whole time, without any stops anywhere, let alone Shanghai. If we assume that Lu Pingping is on this cargo ship, then how did she get from Shanghai to this ship so far away?


    @@novelbin@@


    If we assume that Lu Pingping is in the submarine beneath the cargo ship, the same issue arises. How did Lu Pingping get from Shanghai to this submarine?


    However, the crew of the cargo ship might be lying, and the ship¡¯s log might have been altered. It travels faster on the sea surface and could have covered 1500 kilometers in three days, so it¡¯s possible to have traveled from Shanghai to these territorial waters. But the submarine looked decrepit and moved very slowly underwater, nowhere near the speed of the cargo ship on the surface. Assuming the submarine picked up Lu Pingping off the coast of Shanghai, how could it have brought Lu Pingping to the sea, 1500 kilometers away from Shanghai, in such a short time?


    After much thought, Yan Fei still felt that the cargo ship was the most suspicious, and there was a very high probability that Lu Pingping was on board. Suddenly, there were a few unidentified people on board, and this cargo ship, contrary to its usual practice, was moving very slowly and had chosen such a remote route in the Pacific Ocean. Such a remote course is not only dangerous but also much longer and costlier. Shouldn¡¯t a cargo ship be focused on economic costs? Moreover, the owner of the ship was a man from the Middle East with a mysterious background, which was also suspect. Lastly, Yan Fei had found this ce following Old Man Gu¡¯s directions, and the first thing he saw was the cargo ship. All these pointed to a high probability that Lu Pingping was on this cargo ship.


    Yan Fei thought about it and decided to find the few suspicious individuals who had suddenly appeared on the ship, looking for clues on them. Although the two crew members said that they had not discovered a Chinese woman on board, it was possible that the suspicious individuals were the kidnappers guarding Lu Pingping, and she could be in the room where those people were staying. If that was the case, things would be much simpler. Yan Fei could just kill the kidnappers and rescue Lu Pingping.


    Earlier, Yan Fei had already asked the two crew members about the location of those suspicious individuals, and with the help of the Drone Assisted Intelligent Brain, he had noted down the structure of the cargo ship. He then began to stealthily head towards the rooms of the suspicious individuals. Soon, Yan Fei arrived at the corridor of the lower deck. Carefully avoiding being caught by the surveince cameras, he reached the door of the room at the end of the corridor. This room was where the suspicious individuals were located.


    Yan Fei stood quietly at the door of the room, holding his breath and began to listen to the soundsing from inside the cabin. After his Strength enhancement, his listening ability had also been greatly Enhanced and had reached an extremely deviant level. As long as he was willing to listen, he could hear even the faintest sounds within a hundred-meter radius. Fortunately, this deviant listening ability was under his control, and Yan Fei could decide when to turn it on and off. He usually didn¡¯t use this deviant ability to listen, for if he did, the constant barrage of various noises every day would have driven him to a nervous breakdown.


    Using his enhanced listening ability, Yan Fei immediately heard voices speaking inside the room. Based on the noises, Yan Fei slowly pieced together a rough picture of the situation inside. There were four individuals in the room. Judging by the rhythm of their breathing, they were all adult men. They were ying cards, conversing with each other in English,, though not very fluently. One of them seemed to be losing a lot and was continuouslyining.


    Another personughed and said, ¡°Yiben, already grumbling about losing so little? That doesn¡¯t match your usual boldness at all. Just think that after weplete this Task, once the rewards are distributed, we¡¯ll be making a fortune. Then you can afford to lose at poker like this for the rest of your life.¡±


    The man named Yiben responded, ¡°Big Brother Sharim, isn¡¯t gambling forbidden by our Sect? You tricked me into ying cards! Now I¡¯m breaking the rules, and if my parents find out I¡¯m gambling, they might kill me.¡±


    The person who had been teasing Yiben was Sharim, the very owner of the cargo ship who was elusive. His crew didn¡¯t know where he was, yet he was spending time with these suddenly appearing suspicious individuals.


    In the room, Saliemughed, ¡°Yiben, you just joined our Sect not long ago, so it¡¯s normal for you not to know about the changes in our doctrines. I will exin them to you now. Our Sect had many prohibitions in the past, all of which had to be strictly followed, with severe punishments for vitors. But that was the past. Some of those rules are actually outdated and can hinder our development. If we continue to adhere to these prohibitions, we will never rise again, which is our biggest lesson from the past several hundred years. So, don¡¯t mind these details. The style of our Sect has always been: to achieve our goals by any means necessary. We have always been seen as deviants by the mainstream Sects,, so we should not care about their opinions. What¡¯s suitable for us is always the best.¡±

    Chapter 203: Chapter 120 Ferocious Beast with Tusks_3


    Just as Yiben was about to speak again, he suddenly cheered and said, ¡°Haha, watch me shine now and win back all the money you won from me before.¡±


    As it turned out, Yiben finally had a stroke of luck and drew a good hand, allowing him to break even in one go, winning back all the money he had lost. The other three yers were somewhat dejected. After handing over the money, one of them, no longer in the mood to y cards, said, ¡°Brother Saliem, the submarine below has been down there too long, and the air quality is very poor, should we let theme up for a rest?¡±


    Saliem replied, ¡°That submarine is our foundation, and the hostages are on it, so we must not expose them. The reason my ship has been moving slowly is to cover for them, and even my crew doesn¡¯t know there¡¯s a submarine below. I know they have had a hard time down there, so after this operation is over, I will rmend them formendation to our superiors.¡±


    @@novelbin@@


    Lingering outside the door, Yan Fei was overjoyed; he finally knew where Lu Pingping was¡ªshe was indeed in the submarine below. No wonder he hadn¡¯t found any trace of Lu Pingping on this cargo ship. And that cargo ship owner Saliem was also a member of the Assassin Sect. It exined why the cargo ship had made so many illogical moves before; it was all to conceal the existence of the submarine.


    Once Yan Fei confirmed Lu Pingping¡¯s location, the underwater drone responded. Under his control, the Drone Avatar quickly approached the submarine below the sea surface, silently circling it, and then moved to the submarine¡¯s stern.


    Now that he knew Lu Pingping was in the submarine, Yan Fei couldn¡¯t sink it, and he had to be very cautious even when inflicting any damage, lest any mistakes end up costing Lu Pingping¡¯s life. His only solution was to force the submarine to surface. As long as the submarine came to the surface, with thebined martial force of Yan Fei and the Drone Avatar, he could takeplete control of the situation, then save Lu Pingping, eliminate the kidnappers, andpletely resolve the chaos brought about by her abduction, returning everything back to normal.


    The drone adjusted its heading, the Quantum Radar began scanning the surroundings, and the Auxiliary Brain inside continuously simted calctions. Then the drone fired aircraft cannon shells at the submarine¡¯s propeller. To ensure Lu Pingping¡¯s safety inside the submarine, Yan Fei carefully controlled the angle of the aircraft cannon shells, only creating a hole in one of the submarine¡¯s propellers before the drone swiftly moved away.


    The submarine¡¯s propeller was damaged, and its thrust was greatly reduced. The people inside immediately noticed something was wrong. However, they were not professionals, and since the submarine was rented temporarily, they had no idea what the problem was. For safety, they hurriedly brought the submarine to the sea surface and began calling for the four crew members left on the cargo ship.


    The four who received news of the submarine¡¯s malfunction were also distressed. They quickly left the ship cabin and went to the cargo ship¡¯s bridge. Under Saliem¡¯s orders, therge cargo ship also started to slow down and then stopped in the open sea. Meanwhile, the submarine surfaced nearby, and the submarine¡¯s crew opened the hatch to inspect, only to find the propeller was damaged and the vessel could no longer travel far. Aftermunicating with each other, the cargo ship approached the submarine and lowered the gangway to begin transferring staff from the submarine.


    Hiding in the darkness on the cargo ship, Yan Fei stealthily observed the people emerging from the submarine. He indeed saw an unconscious woman being carried on the back by a slim woman, who then started climbing up onto the cargo ship. With a sharp eye, Yan Fei immediately recognized the unconscious woman as Lu Pingping, although he didn¡¯t know why she remained unconscious.


    Seeing Lu Pingping with his own eyes, Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Although Lu Pingping was motionless, her chest was slightly heaving, indicating she was just unconscious. As long as he found Lu Pingping, with his abilities, he could rescue her.


    The people who came out of the submarine were all dressed in tight ck robes, and apart from the woman carrying Lu Pingping, the rest were bearded men, clearly Middle Eastern. However, they looked very ordinary and simr to other Middle Easterners; if one wasn¡¯t careful, they could be easily overlooked. In Yan Fei¡¯s perception, these men in ck robes didn¡¯t pose any danger to him; theirbat power was fairly average, only slightly stronger than an ordinary person.


    After seeing the group in ck robes, Yan Fei¡¯s anxious heart finally rxed. As long as there were no superpowerful fighters among these people, he could safely rescue Lu Pingping. Once Lu Pingping was safe, the various measures he and Lu Pingping had prepared beforehand would immediately spring into action, thoroughly thwarting the siege conspiracy against them, and getting everything back on track.


    Yan Fei found it odd though¡ªif the kidnappers were these people in ck robes, how had they managed to kill Lu Pingping¡¯s bodyguard, Wang Li, and seriously injure Liu Hong? After all, the skills of Wang Li and Liu Hong were not weak, and they had the home court advantage, which was fully capable of dealing with these ck-robed people. This thought shed by, and Yan Fei didn¡¯t dwell on it; after all, the weaker his opponents, the happier he was since it meant he was more certain of saving Lu Pingping. He didn¡¯t have the ¡®protagonistplex¡¯ found inics, desiring extremely powerful opponents. For him, if a goal could be achieved with less effort, then all the better.


    Having prepared for the rescue, Yan Fei waited for Lu Pingping to be carried onto the cargo ship. Just as the woman was carrying Lu Pingping on board, and the ck-robed people from the submarine were still on the gangway, with Saliem and the four others still in the bridge, Yan Fei suddenly leaped, soundlessly dropping from the high altitude shipping container. His hands turned into ws, aiming directly at the ck-clothed woman carrying Lu Pingping.


    In Yan Fei¡¯s perception, this woman in ck had an almost negligible presence and seemed extremely weak. He thought he could easily take her down. But to his surprise, while still in mid-air and not yet upon the woman, he saw the ck-clothed woman suddenly look up at him. Her eyes sparked with light, a famous Desert Eagle appeared in her hands, and she aimed therge-caliber pistol at Yan Fei, quickly firing the gun.


    At the same moment the ck-clothed woman fired, a terrifying killing intent emerged from her, striking directly at Yan Fei in the air, leaving his hair standing on end and a chill running down his spine.


    Faced with this unexpected turn of events, Yan Fei was shocked. He had thought this woman in ck possessed mediocre skills and posed no threat to him. However, in an instant, the woman had transformed from a seemingly vulnerable girl into a feral beast, baring its fangs, ready to devour its prey.

 Chapter 204 - 121: Fierce Battle at Sea

    Chapter 204: Chapter 121: Fierce Battle at Sea


    Yan Fei had initially intended to take advantage of the woman in ck¡¯s unpreparedness to snatch Lu Pingping away, but to his shock, he not only got noticed by the woman in ck, whounched a counterattack, but she also disyed terrifying strength, sending chills down Yan Fei¡¯s spine. Although Yan Fei was ambushed by the woman in ck, his reaction was swift. After a few somersaults in mid-air, he dodged therge-caliber pistol bullets, but once hended, he realized he had unwittingly distanced himself even further from the woman in ck during his dodging maneuvers.


    Although Yan Fei¡¯s strength had soared, allowing him to perfectly control his bodily movements, he still couldn¡¯t resist the attack ofrge-caliber bullet warheads, which forced him to dodge when facingrge-caliber firearms.


    After the woman in ck drew her pistol to attack Yan Fei, the men in ck robes under the ship¡¯s side agilely mbered up into the ship cabin, shielding the woman. Their bodies began to emit an atmosphere of extreme terror, transforming in an instant from ordinary unnoticeable individuals to incredibly fearsome beasts.


    The ck-robed men coordinated with each other, their imposing auras merging together and undergoing a qualitative change; it was as if a savage beast stood before them, ready tounch a fearsome attack on their enemy. Feeling this sky-high aura, Yan Fei was inwardly startled yet his fighting spirit surged. This would be the strongest opponent he would face after his increase in strength, and it was a good opportunity to test hisbat power.


    @@novelbin@@


    Meanwhile, Yan Fei attained a sudden rity. The assassins from the Assassin Sect were indeed not simple; with hundreds of years of rich heritage, their assassination techniques had evolved into an art form. They knew how to conceal their presence to appear ordinary, develop techniques to make their enemies underestimate them deliberately, and then strike lethally when their foes were caught off-guard. Over the centuries, relying on this art, they had assassinated many powerful experts, earning a formidable reputation. He had underestimated them, almost falling into their trap due to hisck of experience.


    However, Yan Fei wasn¡¯t too anxious. They were in the ocean, vast and boundless, and no matter how fierce the assassins from the Assassin Sect were, they couldn¡¯t escape from here. Under the assault of his own strength and the Drone Avatars, their demise was certain. The only concern now was how to safely retake Lu Pingping.


    The assassins from the Assassin Sect also caught sight of Yan Fei standing in the darkness. When they saw the ghastly mask on his face, they too showed a solemn expression; this man with a ghost mask exerted a tremendous pressure on them, and together, they were unsure of defeating him.


    Just then, Saliem from the cockpit joined the group of men in ck robes with three of his subordinates, but their strength paled inparison. After a quick exchange of nces, they turned and rushed into the ship cabin, providing cover for the woman in ck who was carrying Lu Pingping.


    Yan Fei was capable of using Drone Avatars to kill all the assassins, but he was concerned about Lu Pingping, who was still held hostage by the enemies. Therefore, he didn¡¯t immediately use the martial force of the Drone Avatars but relied on his own strength to give chase instead. The moment he reimed Lu Pingping, he would unleash the full firepower of Drone Avatars and eliminate this terrifying group of professional assassins.


    While the ck-robed men were retreating into the ship cabin, covering each other, they still left some of their number behind to prevent Yan Fei¡¯s pursuit. Yan Fei quickly followed them; his hearing was incredibly acute, catching every sound made by the people ahead and projecting their positions in his mind. With this ability, those in ck robes had no chance ofunching a surprise attack on him.


    No sooner had Yan Fei chased them around a corridor corner than a sh of cold steel nearly caught him off-guard: a scimitar shed at him from a tricky angle. But he had heard the attacker¡¯s sound beforehand and knew their position and movements. Pretending to be unaware of the impending ambush, he waited for the attacker to make a move before swiftly sidestepping the scimitar¡¯s sh. Then with a flick of his fingers, he shot several steel ball bullets, hitting the assant in the forehead. The man in ck fell without making a sound¡ªdead on the spot.


    The killed man in the ck robe was the new assassin Yiben, who actually wasn¡¯tcking in strength, but he had underestimated Yan Fei¡¯s capabilities. Hiding in the shadows to ambush Yan Fei, he didn¡¯t realize Yan Fei had already detected him and yed right into his trap. Pretending to fall for the sneak attack, Yan Fei suddenly struck back, killing Yiben in an instant before he could fully exert his strength, dying ignominiously without having shown his full potential.


    Having dealt with this cannon fodder shoveled forward by the Assassin Sect, Yan Fei continued along the corridor and sessively killed three more ck-robed men. They all died frustrated, having been outmaneuvered and counter-killed by Yan Fei. These three ck-robed men were the same ones who had been gambling with Yiben in the room, including the boat owner Saliem. Their limited strength made them easy targets for the ck robes who pushed them forward as cannon fodder to stall Yan Fei¡¯s advance, buying time for the woman in ck to escape. They gave everything for their beliefs, including their lives, achieving martyrdom.


    Yan Fei advanced once more, employing the same method to counter-kill three more ck-robed men. Although these men were more formidable, theymitted the same error; they all underestimated Yan Fei¡¯s hearing. Therefore, their ambushes were not only ineffective but also led them straight into Yan Fei¡¯s steel ball bullets, dying pitifully.

 Chapter 207 - 122: Horror at High Altitude

    Chapter 207: Chapter 122: Horror at High Altitude


    In the Drone Quantum Radar disy, a seane in the distance was flying eastward. Although it had taken off for a while, its top speed was less than 800 kilometers per hour. With the Drone Avatar¡¯s speed reaching an impressive Mach 3, it quickly caught up to the aircraft.


    The seane was a medium-sized aircraft capable of carrying about 30 passengers. Moreover, it was a civilian model with an old-fashioned design,cking military radar instations. It was the dead of night, pitch ck outside, and the seane had no inkling of the drone¡¯s stealthy approach.


    The drone flew silently a hundred meters above the seane, then used its Quantum Radar to survey the aircraft below. The Quantum Radar had an infinite number of applications. While it couldn¡¯t prate the thick hull of a submarine, it could easily see through the flimsy structure of the seane and revealed the exact situation inside.


    There were a total of three individuals on the seane. One was piloting the aircraft from the cockpit, while there were two in the cabin. One of those in the cabin was slumped in a seat, motionless, likely the unconscious Lu Pingping judging by the build. The final person was seated next to Lu Pingping, guarding her. From the slender frame, it was probably the woman in ck.


    When Yan Fei spotted Lu Pingping on the seane, he breathed a sigh of relief. Finding Lu Pingping here proved that he hadn¡¯t fallen for the enemy¡¯s decoy tactic. Seeing Lu Pingping also meant that he had a way to rescue her.


    Even though Yan Fei had located Lu Pingping, he didn¡¯t immediately spring into action. They were at altitude, which posed much greater risks than onnd. Any improper maneuver could lead to a fatal mistake. So he had to be extremely cautious, first ensuring Lu Pingping¡¯s safety before figuring out how to eliminate the two assants.


    The seane swiftly gained altitude, and the drone quietly shadowed it from above. Before long, the seane reached an altitude of ten thousand meters, with the Drone Avatar following suit. This was Yan Fei¡¯s first foray to such heights since obtaining the drone. To avoid detection by various radars and satellites, its previous operations involved either subsea voyages or low-altitude skimming over sea surfaces, never fully utilizing its high-altitude flight capabilities. He only knew from the data that he could ascend to thirty thousand meters, but he had never attempted it in reality. Now, located in the remote regions of the North Pacific Ocean Area, far fromnd and the military bases of US and Japanese Forces, with no warships patrolling nearby, and with the cover of deep night, there was no fear of satellites, so the drone could soar to its heart¡¯s content.


    @@novelbin@@


    Without any worries, the Drone Avatar flew to an altitude of ten thousand meters for the first time, feeling extraordinarily unburdened¡ªit was as natural as eating or walking. At ten thousand meters, the air was thin and frigid. Yan Fei used to be concerned that inhabiting the Drone Avatar at this altitude might cause difort. However, experiencing it firsthand, he immediately found that neither the thin air nor extreme cold negatively affected the drone. It felt just as it did during low-altitude flight as if neither had any impact on the drone at all.


    Having climbed to ten thousand meters, the seane was now very far from the cargo ship on the sea surface. It was only at this point that the final two members of the Assassin Sect breathed a sigh of relief. The pilot in the cockpit began setting up the seane¡¯s automatic piloting system, and the woman in ck who had been guarding Lu Pingping left her seat and walked toward the drink cab at the front to get a beverage.


    The intense pressure of Yan Fei¡¯s recent pursuit on the cargo ship was immense for the two of them. They were forced to flee the ship to ensure the hostage¡¯s safety andplete the task assigned by the sect. To achieve this ultimate goal, they didn¡¯t hesitate to sacrifice all theirrades. Thankfully, with their desperaterades holding off the terrifying Ghost-faced One on the cargo ship, they had managed to escape. Now aboard the aircraft, being tens of kilometers away from the Ghost-faced One and at an altitude of ten thousand meters, they no longer feared pursuit. Unless there was a second seane on the cargo ship, which clearly wasn¡¯t the case since they had taken the only one, the Ghost-faced One surely couldn¡¯t catch up. At this moment, they finally rxed, and immediately sought to replenish the water they had lost due to the stress.


    Yan Fei had been observing everything transpiring within the seane from above, and when he saw the woman in ck leaving Lu Pingping¡¯s side, he instantly realized his chance had finallye. With just a thought, Yan Fei watched the drone flip belly up, cockpit facing down, maintaining the same speed as the seane, then the cockpit opened from below, and Yan Fei in the cockpit dropped toward the sea from high in the sky.


    At ten thousand meters, not only was the air thin, but the temperature was also a frigid minus forty degrees Celsius. As soon as Yan Fei leaped from the cockpit, his breath becamebored, and the temperature around him plummeted rapidly, almost freezing his body stiff. A powerful gale hit him head-on, blowing him far away.
