Half an hour later, the physical examination report was ready.
It showed everything was normal.
Pei Jinye took the report and found Wei Shurao.
Wei Shurao was the captain of the Seventh Inspection Team.
After reviewing the physical examination report several times and confirming that there were no errors, Wei Shurao could only sigh, “Rest well regularly; rest is beneficial for memory recovery.”
“Yes, Captain,” Pei Jinye prepared to leave.
However, Wei Shurao suddenly called out to him, “Weren’t you awakened with the Fire Element? There’s a training directive from the team, specifically asking for you to go; you should rest well these few days.”
The Fire Element?
Pei Jinye felt slightly reassured.
That matched up.
“Training directive?” Pei Jinye concealed his thoughts and asked with feigned curiosity, “Captain Kai, do you know what the directive is about?”
“Didn’t you say before that you envied those Element Masters? This time you successfully awakened the Fire Element, and also completed the mission excellently, giving the higher-ups a boost of pride. They specifically requested a spot for you, and I heard there were only two spots in total.”
“Thank you, Captain Kai,” Pei Jinye expressed his thanks politely.
“Don’t thank me. I just spoke a few words on your behalf. If you make it big one day, just don’t forget about us at the Seventh Inspection Team,” Wei Shurao said with a light laugh, but sighing inwardly when he thought of Pei Jinye’s amnesia, hoping that it wouldn’t affect anything.
…
After parting with Wei Shurao, Pei Jinye walked alone on the streets.
Compared to the streets of Da Peng City, Pei Jinye suddenly realized that what others called a small place, Da Peng City, could one day also bear the label of luxury.
“Too poor…”
Pei Jinye looked around.
He found an internet café and went straight in.
“Fifty for one hour,” the young internet café manager glanced at Pei Jinye, spoke indifferently without raising his head, and continued to blow on his cup of instant noodles before he could take a mouthful.
A badge suddenly pressed in front of him.
The three searing words “Inspection Team” were particularly blinding.
The young manager almost burned his mouth. Just as he was about to exclaim, he heard Pei Jinye’s indifferent voice, “Don’t make a fuss, it’s not your business.”
The manager swallowed nervously, constantly swallowing his saliva, and whispered, “Officer, what do you need? Do you require assistance?”
“Don’t look around, find me a computer in a corner. Pretend I was never here,” Pei Jinye said casually.
The manager immediately obliged, stealing glances at Pei Jinye from time to time.
After Pei Jinye left, he hesitated for a long time, whether to inform the boss that someone from the Inspection Team came to the café to catch people…
[They wouldn’t come to catch minors, would they? But surely this isn’t something for the Inspection Team to handle?]
Pei Jinye sat in front of the computer and began searching for information.
He tried using the Psychic Network.
No problem, it was accessible.
The infiltration was silky smooth.
He took care of the surveillance with fake imagery right away.
He began to scavenge for information about this world.
…
This place was 190 Orchid Pavilion Road, Nagano, Western Continent.
The current time was…
Pei Jinye wanted to see the time clearly when suddenly the time warped, then displayed [Solar Calendar February 3, 2023]
The Solar Calendar?
Pei Jinye frowned.
If he was not mistaken, the Solar Calendar appeared four hundred years ago, before the arrival of the Star Calendar.
At that time, the Federation’s Star Ring had not evolved to the point of widespread popularization of the Extraordinary-Human Genes.
Pei Jinye realized.
In later times, the Inspection Team had indeed been reorganized.
That also matched up.
However, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that some mysterious force here had modified the time.
After all, if even the protagonist could be replaced by him, what else could not be done?
He began to launch covert attacks against Gaia.
Now Pei Jinye’s psychic power was as high as 101 points; trying to carry out a Network Invasion, he could easily achieve over a thousand attacks in just one second.
Unfortunately, to his disappointment, Gaia’s firewall still proved to be impregnable at this time.
He sighed resignedly.
Pei Jinye could only temporarily give up this opportunity.
“Better to devour more Transcendents connected to the Psychic Network System to evolve faster,” he thought.
“The Federation’s secrets are too numerous, those artificial intelligences must know something.”
Pei Jinye fell into contemplation.
At this moment, the young internet café manager subtly brought over a plate of instant noodles and snacks beside Pei Jinye, whispering, “It’s free, thank you for your hard work.”
Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow and looked over; the young manager had already left quickly with the tray.
He glanced at the snacks in front of him but did not feel like eating them.
If he remembered correctly, during his chat with the AI Xing Tian from China, he discovered inadvertently that this fellow was secretly collecting information.
So, had Xing Tian already developed his own thoughts?
The very thought made Pei Jinye’s scalp tingle.
If Xing Tian had already developed his own will, what about Gaia from Western Continent? What about the other continent’s AIs?
What about Star Ring?
As the main body of these AIs, if Star Ring developed its own ideas… it was no exaggeration to say that just a single thought from it could potentially destroy the entire Federation!
“Is it controlling the world’s evolutionary speed, or is there someone else?”
Pei Jinye sighed softly.
“This game is too high-end… but all I’ve ever wanted is to cultivate immortality in peace and quiet.”
He retracted his gaze.
After Pei Jinye quietly left the internet café,
It wasn’t long before he stepped out of the main entrance that he realized he was being followed.
However, far from being annoyed, Pei Jinye was somewhat inexplicably excited.
He skillfully walked into an alley.
He meandered for a while until the following figure disappeared.
Soon after, there was a noise from not far behind, followed by someone lightly stepping on the ground and rushing over.
It was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, dark skin, and a powerful build.
Clearly an old hand in the world.
Once the man saw Pei Jinye vanish, he immediately looked around warily, trying to find any trace.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man retreated explosively.
The air shook violently.
Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised.
Had his punch actually been dodged?
He glanced at his attribute panel.
Immediately, he cursed under his breath.
[Damn, I forgot this body is too weak.]
…
[Vitality]: 22-103 kcals;
[Stamina]: 14-103;
[Psychic Power]: 37-101.8;
“This start is too weak.”
Pei Jinye frowned.
He threw an Appraisal Technique.
A series of numbers floated above the other person’s head: [31-35]
“That’s better, if you were even the tiniest bit stronger, I wouldn’t have been able to take you down.”
Pei Jinye took a slight breath and said with a smile, “Let’s talk. The fact that I could bring you here has already explained some things.”
The middle-aged man’s complexion changed slightly: “You noticed me from the start?”
“M-hm.”
Pei Jinye spoke calmly, “Actually, I have people arranged behind you.”
The middle-aged man quickly turned to look back.
There was no one at the entrance of the alley.
Realizing he had been bluffed, he inwardly swore that this was bad news.
He abruptly reached into his pockets and scattered lime.
But he never expected that Pei Jinye would show only a mocking smile; a gust of wind suddenly rose before them, and the lime he threw reversed its course, sprinkling onto his own face.
“Ahhh!!!”
A scream arose.
Pei Jinye closed in and grabbed the man’s shoulder, and if it weren’t for avoiding making the scene too evident with Transcendent elements, he wouldn’t have needed to take action personally.
A massive force surged.
The middle-aged man was flipped and thrown like a carp, and though his eyes were blinded by lime, he was experienced enough to wrap his hands around in an instant, attempting to break Pei Jinye’s arm.
But unfortunately, Pei Jinye didn’t give him the chance.
With a “snap,”
The chest of the middle-aged man caved in, and blood spurted out.
He hadn’t even caught his breath
When Pei Jinye had already gripped his shoulder, his other hand pressed against the man’s head and slammed him fiercely against the wall.
After a series of mishaps,
The man’s psychic power plummeted below twenty.
Pei Jinye’s timing was impeccably precise.
“Enter the dream.”
Two inexplicable words echoed in the man’s ears.
A profound darkness descended upon him.
Memories came flooding in.
…
Pei Jinye slowly exhaled.
“I just got the spot, and someone’s already trying to kill me for it?”
“Nagano Fang’s Family, how many lives do you have for me to take!”
He pulled a short blade from the waist of the middle-aged man, which shone brightly under the sunlight.
A fire then rose from Pei Jinye’s fingertip; he flicked his finger, and the corpse on the ground was instantly burned to ashes.
Among the gentle breezes, Pei Jinye’s figure gradually receded into the distance.
His shadow on the ground resembled a fierce tiger.
He had killed on this trip.
