I can travel to the past and the future

Chapter 136 The Final Game (1.17 words)

"There is a solution, but it's very troublesome." Hutu pondered for a long time, a glint of light appearing in his eyes.

He didn't ask Qiao Yuan why, but he knew that the fact that the other party had come all this way without even communicating over the phone meant that this matter must be huge.

He also thought of Twilight Group's original Cyber ​​God project and the proposed neural network solution, which might be related to Simon.

"Go ahead," Qiao Yuan said, his eyes shining.

"Okay, first of all, neural networks also need servers. However, they will modify biological DNA chips or implant additional master control microchips. The professional term is dual-path architecture, which makes their own brain and will the master server, and then connect to other users who can accept neural networks, constantly expanding their influence. They can even extract computing power from users' brains."

Hu Tu continued, "Normal signal jamming devices won't work well because neural networks are biological signals, no longer traditional network signals."

"Simply put, to cut off their connection at the biological level, the first thing to do is to block their hippocampus, which is the brain's memory function and one of the core components of the biological server. Then, we need to interfere with the prefrontal cortex and parietal cortex of the brain to interrupt thinking."

Seeing that Qiao Yuan didn't know much, Hu Tu simply gave a detailed introduction: "The prefrontal cortex is one of the core brain tissues used for higher cognition such as thinking, judging, reasoning, and making decisions, and it is also one of the sources of intelligence."

"The parietal cortex is used for functions such as attention, spatial awareness, and computation."

"There are also question leaves for purposes related to emotion, language comprehension, and memory integration."

"And the occipital lobe, which is used for visual information, etc., through the coordination of various brain tissues, perform complex thinking and form a complete neural network."

Hu Tu took a deep breath and said, "In general, we need to build a complete and advanced biological interference device. The moment we detect the enemy's biological waveband, we will carry out comprehensive waveband resonance interference to forcibly disrupt the enemy's thinking and prevent him from transmitting neural networks."

Qiao Yuan was quite satisfied: "Please prepare a set for me now, along with the price. As for the layout of the device, can it be installed in a car?"

"Inside the car? That would be perfect." Hu Tu looked at Qiao Yuan with surprise and said, "You bought a car? Wow, why didn't you say so sooner? Having a car is so convenient."

Qiao Yuan smiled, offering little explanation, only saying, "Baby likes it."

"Oh, okay," Hu Tu quickly searched on the holographic projection on the wall: "Look, this whole set will cost close to a million. There are even more advanced ones, which are very expensive. To be honest, my entire black room only cost a little over 400,000."

"Moreover, this system can only be applied to a single user who owns a neural network, and it cannot be applied regionally, and the distance must be within a range of 200 meters."

Qiao Yuan nodded and said, "One person is enough. Just assemble a top-tier team for me."

He had already learned in the car that although Veronica had connected to the neural network, it was still a very private internal sharing system.

Even the higher-ups weren't all connected.

At present, all he knows are Carol C. Hannan, the vice president of HSBC, Karen Francis, the three Night Priests, and Xu Dongliu.

The number of people is very small.

But with the arrival of the Cyber ​​God, as Simon previously explained, all cultists will be incorporated, achieving evolution in the virtual dimension.

This was a huge advantage for him in dealing with Veronica.

"What? The top-of-the-line model costs 200 million, and the range can be even further, reaching 300 meters. It also has additional functions such as remote locking and overload operation," Hu Tu muttered, still feeling it was too expensive.

"Great, let's go with this one. If you're free now, buy it now, and then come back to Jiangnan Building with me to load everything up."

Hu Tu was stunned: "A single-person device worth 200 million, you don't even blink?"

Qiao Yuan said calmly, "This matter is huge, a hundred times bigger than you imagine."

Hu Tu suddenly fell silent for a moment after listening.

In fact, his intuition had already told him so, but he still clung to a sliver of hope.

"I'm ready!"

He said earnestly to Qiao Yuan, "I can place the order now, and we'll ship it over later."

Qiao Yuan immediately transferred 200 million to Hu Tu.

Although Hu Tu was surprised, he didn't say anything. He knew that Qiao Yuan was serious.

The 200 million was targeted at one person.

It's probably Simon!

He suddenly felt inexplicably excited.

Qiao Yuan then stepped out of the dark room again, chatted with Qin Xue for a few minutes, and waited for the goods to arrive.

Although there's still a whole day left, there are things to do tomorrow, so it's best to prepare early.

He originally didn't want to bring Hutu along, but now it seems just right, everything is ready!

When he's overwhelmed with other commitments, he'll really need Hu Tu to stay behind and keep things under control.

pretty good.

Fortunately, I had 1000 million in the account, and it all came in handy this time, and everything went smoothly.

The order, worth 200 million, consisted entirely of products from Fajia Heavy Industry. The goods were delivered by a dedicated courier, arriving at Hutu's home in just half an hour.

Qin Xue was stunned by what she saw and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you buying so much?"

Qiao Yuan smiled but didn't say anything.

Hu Tu, standing nearby, chimed in, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm going to Qiao Yuan's house later. I'll explain in detail later. Just wait for me."

Qin Xue opened her mouth slightly but didn't ask any more questions. However, she knew very well that Qiao Yuan and Hu Tu must have been discussing something in the hacker room.

Ten minutes later, Hu Tu nodded and said, "Everything is normal. We also sent a professional hacker kit, which can be delivered to you intact."

Qiao Yuan nodded slightly, said goodbye to Qin Xue, and then went out with Hu Tu, taking a taxi home.

On the way, Hu Tu was about to say something when he saw Qiao Yuan shake his head slightly, so he swallowed his words.

Has the situation become so serious that we can't even talk about it casually in public?

He was both nervous and excited.

It was as if he was about to embark on an epic adventure with Qiao Yuan!

All the way to the Jiangnan Building, Qiao Yuan didn't say anything. Even if he agreed to Hu Tu joining, it was better to keep the other party from knowing as little of the inside story as possible.

Compared to dealing with the troublesome Simon, there is something even more difficult: how to interpret his clues, and Hutu can help with that.

Success requires not only hard work, but also luck. Just like before, he and Hutu were invited by Veronica and Simon to attend Karen Francis's 100th birthday party.

In other words, anything that is unreasonable or lacks sufficient evidence in his view can be supplemented by Hutu, such as neural networks.

Hutu could say that he had some suspicions at the birthday dinner that day, but he wasn't sure.

Of course, all of this has one drawback: it cannot withstand a lie detector test.

He didn't care.

But it's okay.

As long as his contribution is significant enough, Yu Jin will take him seriously enough. He can then personally undergo a lie detector test, or even test it on Director Fan's side tomorrow night.

In this way, Hutu's matter is no longer a big deal.

And coincidentally, his eternal divine nature allows him to evade all lie detectors and scans.

Just like on the night of August 3rd, it all started with the blonde female captain's test about the undead substitute's relics. In fact, not only was Eternal Da Luo covered up, but everything else, including his acquisition of the relics, became reasonable.

So all he needs to do is talk less and do more.

The remaining topic is Caesar's quantum hard drive, which actually contains some information that he hadn't paid attention to at the time, including neural networks, God's plan, and even the Night Priests, but these were all mentioned in passing without much detail.

This can be interpreted as Simon mentioning it to Caesar, but Caesar only knew the basics.

He just happens to be in the pioneer sequence, and all of this can be used as clues to deduce that everything makes sense.

He had originally planned to reveal the quantum hard drive to his baby tonight, but suddenly changed his mind.

There's something even better!

Finally, the most crucial point of this plan is that he must provide absolute clues to support his plan and get the entire Yu Jin to cooperate with him in controlling the battle as much as possible.

On the other hand, Simon must not find out.

This is actually difficult.

The only option left is to take on the challenge and choose.

Thinking this, he returned to the Jiangnan Building and got out of the car with Hu Tu, carrying a box of biological interference equipment to the parking garage.

I've had the car for a few days now, but I haven't used it even once, except for the night I came back.

Hu Tu was stunned. Looking at the muscular pink supercar that was fixed in the garage by magnetic levitation, he couldn't move his feet.

"Holy crap! This is—this is the Fagia Heavy Industries Crimson Series X3000! My goodness, when did you become so extravagant?"

"Market price 3.9 million, super cool and cutting-edge [Zulong] intelligent central control system, 0-100 km/h acceleration 0.95 seconds."

"Seconds, top speed 380km/h, and it's also a self-healing nano-wind engine —"

Watching Hu Tu's detailed and knowledgeable introduction, Qiao Yuan coughed and said, "Huh, you know so much about this? Isn't this the kind of car girls like?"

"Hey," Hu Tu licked his lips, "Qin Xue and I saw the advertisement online earlier, and she liked it too."

"It's still a bit pricey, considering I've already spent a lot of money lately," Hu Tu said, then changed the subject, "Where have you made your fortune this time?"

Qiao Yuan shook his head slightly: "I won the gold belt match before, I guess I was lucky. Actually, I lost a few million in the process, otherwise I would have invited you to join me."

What he said to Hu Tu was consistent with what he had said to the baby before; he couldn't very well say it came from the wind.

"Huh?" Hu Tu was even more surprised: "You lost millions, and then made even more back? Brother, you're playing with fire. I advise you to take it easy."

He was quite envious of Qiao Yuan's sudden wealth, and also genuinely happy about it.

But Hu Tu admired Qiao Yuan's courage even more, who dared to gamble millions on the competition, something he wouldn't dare to do even if he had the money.

One wrong move and you could lose everything.

"Yeah, I don't touch it anymore. My baby told me before, and I bought it because I thought she would like it." Qiao Yuan smiled and opened the car door to help Hu Tu lift the whole box of hacking equipment into the car.

As the car door closed, he poured Hutu a cup of coffee, but there was nothing else he could do to help.

However, he carefully observed the entire architectural process and learned little by little from Hu Tu. It's always a good thing to learn more.

Hu Tu smiled and said, "The advantage of being inside the car is that it can be directly connected to the vehicle's infotainment system, saving the trouble of setting up a scene, such as anti-penetration wall panels, which can be done by simply upgrading the vehicle's firewall."

"Like sports cars, which have anti-penetration layers, both physically and in terms of networks, Fajia Heavy Industry has put a lot of effort into this aspect."

"However, it should be noted that the layout of the vehicle has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is flexible enough, but the disadvantage is that it has a high energy requirement."

He listened quietly, and it took him quite a while to finish the installation with Hu Tu.

On a physical level, the car now features a retro-style manual emergency controller, which, according to Hu Tu, can play a crucial role in extreme situations such as interference with the vehicle, hacking, attacks, or even car accidents.

In addition, there are enhancements to the vehicle scanning device and vehicle sensing device, which fully utilize the functionality of the entire sports car.

There are also highly concealed hardware Trojans.

At the software level, the Zulong architecture was almost completely overhauled, with two subsystems being implanted.

The two systems complement each other, similar to a tiger tally in Hu Tu's words. Only the user knows the details, and when an attack occurs, the enemy hacker can only see the first subsystem.

"Oh, I see," Qiao Yuan said with a sudden realization, "This second subsystem is to buy us time when we are being invaded by the other side?"

"Yes, that's right, hahaha," Hu Tu laughed incessantly, seemingly very enthusiastic about these things.

"From now on, your car won't just be a drivable vehicle, it'll also be a pretty good aerial base, hehe. I'll do the same when I buy my own car."

"Thanks, bro."

"Hey, it's okay, but as far as I know, neural networks are rarely used, since they've been banned by the Federation. So we also need to consider their memory storage."

Qiao Yuan nodded. As expected, Hu Tu was reliable. Although Hu Tu was not outstanding at Galaxy University, he still had talent.

In the final minutes of the memory storage, Simon mentioned, just as Hutu said, that memory storage is closely related to neural networks.

The reason is simple: people who use neural networks treat their own brains and hippocampus as servers, even if they are enhanced. Therefore, they will naturally lock away the relevant secret data to prevent accidental searches.

This is actually nothing new.

After the curtain fell, he and Hu Tu found the Black Moon Studio, which left Yan Baobao and the others empty-handed. The employees of the Twilight Group that they brought back had their memories erased, leaving Yu Jin helpless at the time.

Memory sealing is a more advanced processing method, similar to encrypted files. However, the data in the human brain far exceeds the dimensions of a computer. During the decryption process, the entire memory is often burned, damaging the prisoner's brain and resulting in nothing being obtained.

He remembered that he learned through the timeline that Caesar, using Xia Linfei's body, had secretly joined forces with Simon, which greatly broadened his thinking.

But actually, this is a good thing.

Because Veronica would definitely seal away all memories of the cultists, including his, which would be entirely to his advantage.

It doesn't matter even if it gets exposed.

Because he was about to call Director Fan, it was time to test the waters.

He didn't rush to let Hu Tu leave, and immediately dialed Director Fan's number.

There's something he really wants to see.

There happens to be one more timeline session left today.

The call was delayed for a while before being answered. Director Fan seemed somewhat surprised: "Qiao Yuan?"

"Yes, Director Fan. I was wondering if you'd be free tomorrow. I'd like to meet with you."

"Tomorrow?" Director Fan smiled. "I should be free, but not during the day."

"Okay, how about 5:30 in the evening?"

"Okay, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Contact Director Fan again tomorrow and talk to him in person," Qiao Yuan said with a smile, offering little explanation.

[Anchor point: The impact of the call with Director Fan.]

[Time: Five minutes later.]

During the phone call, he entered the timeline without hesitation. Instantly, the river of time surged before his eyes, and when he reappeared, he was still at the Golden Tree Shadow Manor, Simon's home.

Unlike before, this is now the underground monitoring room of the manor, with walls and ceilings covered with densely packed electronic screens.

Simon was outside adjusting something; there were many large glass cases filled with pink liquid and some unknown monsters.

Veronica, who was sitting in a chair, suddenly called out to Simon, "Lord Simon, we just intercepted a phone call between Qiao Yuan and Director Fan."

Simon did not respond.

Veronica kept chattering, "Why did he call them a day in advance? It's a pity we could only get the recording, not the content. How about we meet him again tomorrow so I can check?"

Qiao Yuan wasn't surprised by what he saw; he had indeed been under surveillance all along!

That's a good approach.

Simon said irritably, "Fine, do you really have to fall out with him before the plan is even finished?"

"I know you always tell me why he's always so lucky, you're always suspicious of something, but you don't have any evidence at all."

"People who are consistently lucky are indeed rare, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. If he hadn't repeatedly provoked you, would you still be holding onto this grudge?"

Simon continued, frowning, "You should understand how important tomorrow is to me."

Veronica was speechless after being refuted.

Thinking about it carefully, that's indeed the case.

At first, she only wondered what Qiao Yuan's luck came from. Gradually, she became more and more impatient and easily angered. She always wanted to embarrass Qiao Yuan, make him lose face, or even make him ask her for a favor.

Fine, I'll make Qiao Yuan look bad tomorrow night, and settle all scores, old and new!

This was Qiao Yuan's first time visiting the secret laboratory beneath the other party's manor.

He knew this so clearly because he was standing in the monitoring room from the moment he arrived, with many screens around him displaying views of the study, the manor hall, the manor's front gate, and other areas.

He has now toured the underground laboratory and is quite impressed by its scale.

First, there are these huge glass pillars filled with pink liquid, a little over two meters in diameter and nearly ten meters high, containing the torsos, hearts, or bones of various monsters.

Contrary to his expectations, the pink liquid was at a certain high temperature, seemingly refining the monsters, extracting very faint pale golden liquid little by little from the pipes above.

From the holographic screen next to him, he learned that this was a substance called Yellow Spring Crystal. Its effects were shocking to him. It seemed to have an extremely powerful ability to corrupt wills and could cause wills to assimilate any person or substance that came into contact with it!

[Having learned of the decisive variable in the Nightfall Plan and seized absolute initiative, the Pioneer Potion is being rapidly digested; only two more attempts are needed to advance to the second-tier Celestial Pioneer [Overbearing]]

"And what else? What is assimilation of will?" he murmured, gradually studying the surrounding area.

Gradually, it was discovered that this thing was intertwined with neural networks, and that it had to be a contaminated sequence.

First, they use the Yellow Spring Crystal to pollute the mind, interfering with others' will and even causing their rationality to collapse. Then, they take the opportunity to forcibly connect others to the neural network and overwrite their personality!

The general idea is to prepare a memory in advance on the neural network and then implant it.

His brows gradually furrowed.

He seemed to have figured something out; this must be Simon's trump card, which he would use when the situation got out of control or when he needed to take action himself.

So-called assimilation of will is equivalent to being a puppet, an external avatar that completely obeys Simon through neural networks!

"Tsk tsk, that's really sneaky!"

"If it weren't for this twist of fate—"

Qiao Yuan's gaze quickly fell on the shark-like mecha suit not far away. It had an inverted triangular reactor on its chest, which was connecting to the Yellow Spring Crystals. The crystals were being used to conduct biological tests on a dozen or so "living people" on the side by spraying them through the mecha arms or by making instant punctures on their skin.

They appeared to be young and middle-aged men and women, and all of them were ascendants, although their ranks were very low, only first and second tiers.

At this moment, they were all suffering a fate worse than death, groaning in agony, their mouths and eyes trembling violently. Their limbs, bound to the operating table by the metal machinery, struggled frantically, their wrists and ankles bearing deep red marks, as if they were about to break.

Qiao Yuan walked over with a cold gaze and carefully examined the shark-shaped mecha.

"It seems to be just a prototype. Since it's a decisive variable, there should be a complete version as well." He looked around carefully, but there wasn't one in the underground laboratory.

Maybe they're upstairs, never mind.

He returned to the experimental subjects and carefully observed their changes.

He looked at it repeatedly for half an hour.

The power is indeed great, but the amount of this Netherworld Crystal Contaminant seems to be very small, the process is extremely complicated, the success rate is not high, and it requires specific monster parts and specific life stages.

For example, one method uses Sperdal's cells, but they must be newly formed organisms.

It's somewhat similar to the approach of integrating multiple characteristics in the new phase that we've seen before.

In addition, there is data from the genetically modified teams deep within the laboratory, which marks the locations of numerous secret warehouses belonging to these teams on a map.

Qiao Yuan's eyes lit up, and he carefully wrote everything down. This information was crucial!

Besides the locations, he reviewed all the data reports of the gene teams, the branch offices corresponding to each team, the trap locations, the ambush points, the combat plans, the rendezvous points, Plan B, and the details of the codes for contacting the Night Messengers in various regions. The amount of information was enormous, simply massive.

After looking at everything from beginning to end, about an hour had passed.

[Having learned the specifics of the Night Plan's operations and gained absolute initiative, the Pioneer Potion is being rapidly digested; just one more step away from advancing to the second-tier Celestial Pioneer [Overbearing]]

As Qiao Yuan was about to leave, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips—a perfect ending.

Just one more breakthrough away.

He quickly came up with a new idea!

Back in reality, he chatted with Director Fan for a couple more minutes before hanging up.

Hu Tu heard it clearly and was very surprised. Just as he had imagined, this was a problem that Yan Baobao could not handle at all.

When did you meet the bureau chief?

"Although I know I should keep it a secret, but—"

Qiao Yuan patted Hu Tu on the shoulder with a smile: "Go back and get a good night's sleep. I'll call you and the baby tomorrow afternoon to go see Director Fan together."

Hu Tu's eyes widened, and his heart pounded; he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

He took a deep breath: "Okay, I'm going back now. I'll wait for your call tomorrow."

"Um."

Qiao Yuan opened the car door and got out with Hu Tu, then closed the door and left the garage.

At the entrance of Jiangnan Building, he hailed a hovercar for Hu Tu before going home.

I won't buy the mecha suit today.

He already has a better plan for this.

Now I have to wait for a phone call.

He must wait for this call before he can make another one; the steps must be followed precisely.

Upon returning home, Qiao Yuan immediately took out the bottle of [King Kong] E605 Flesh Enhancement Liquid, worth 200 million, to improve its resistance to attacks.

The million-dollar drink I had previously consumed was [Blood God], which boosted my strength, even though it was all flesh-enhancing liquid.

After finishing his drink, he went to take a shower.

It was already 10 p.m., and he was halfway through his shower when he finally received a call from Gavin Girard, which was somewhat expected.

From the first time he heard it at Simon Manor to seeing the other person's tone in person that evening, he could tell that the other person was already impatient.

"Qiao Yuan? Shall we go together tomorrow night?"

"What?"

"What I mean is, since you're planning to assassinate your Director Fan tomorrow night anyway, why don't you bring your teacher Daisy along? I'll personally take care of it then."

Qiao Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate, Senior Gavin? Too many people can cause problems."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I am not afraid; I am only worried that this action will displease Lord Simon."

"You brat!" Gavin Girard sneered, then added, "Fine, how about this: tomorrow night, after your Director Fan dies, I'll step in, and you can use that opportunity to get your teacher Daisy to come and save you."

Qiao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "As expected of Senior Jiawen, your thinking is always more far-sighted than mine, but I can't be sure whether Teacher Daisy will come or not."

"Hehe, she'll definitely come. All you have to do is describe what I look like," Gavin Girard said, increasingly excited. "After all, I killed her master, Grandmaster Qinghong, and she's always looking for revenge!"

"Understood. I will certainly not disappoint Senior Gavin. In the future, I hope you can put in a good word for me with Lord Simon," Qiao Yuan said respectfully.

Gavin Girard chuckled twice: "No problem, but you'll have to launch a surprise attack."

"No problem, I'm all ready. I'll call Ms. Daisy later and try to meet her to deepen our relationship."

"Okay, I'll contact you again tomorrow."

After ending the call, Qiao Yuan immediately saved the chat history.

He wasn't in a hurry; he waited until he finished showering and was drying his hair before calling Ms. Daisy.

This is the order in which he was just concerned.

First, connect to Gavin Girard's phone, then call Ms. Daisy.

In this way, both Simon's surveillance and the subsequent plans will proceed smoothly.

He even specifically mentioned that calling Ms. Daisy would also serve as evidence.

After a few beeps, Daisy's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Qiao Yuan? It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Ah, it's about some insights on medicine preparation. I wonder if Professor Daisy is free? I'd like to meet her at school tomorrow to discuss it."

Ms. Daisy seemed very happy and agreed without hesitation: "Tomorrow at five o'clock in the evening."

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Daisy."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yuan knew everything was in order, and now all that was left was to wait until tomorrow.

After drying my hair, my physical condition also improved dramatically. On Friday, my physical condition was close to level 23, just a little bit short. Now, I have broken through two levels and reached level 24.6.

It increased by a full 1.65 levels.

"Looks like the 200 million wasn't wasted."

He was quite satisfied. In this way, the duration of the Night God increased rapidly from 3 minutes and 30 seconds to 4 minutes and 10 seconds, while the Yin God lasted for 14 minutes.

They've all improved significantly!

By the way, I need to accumulate two layers of Yin spirit to prepare for tomorrow night.

Qiao Yuan quickly began cultivating.

I think it's been about ten days since I last practiced. I've been putting it off for a long time since school started.

Back then, I was just a little Karami, barely level 20. Now I'm almost level 25, getting closer and closer to level 30!

After a significant improvement in physical fitness, the accumulation rate also increased considerably.

When the baby came back, it was just past midnight. In an hour and a half, he had only accumulated one and a half layers, which was still a bit short of completing the second layer.

Previously, it took two hours to accumulate one layer, now the speed is twice as fast, but time is still tight tonight.

This thing can only be cultivated at night; it can't be accumulated during the day, which is a bit troublesome.

"Baby? Hurry up and take a shower, then we'll play games," Qiao Yuan called out.

"Okay! Hehe." Baby took off her mecha suit and went into the bathroom.

With the extra half hour, Qiao Yuan finally managed to condense the second layer of Yin Spirit after the baby finished bathing.

Phew, I barely made it.

[Identity: Eternal Great Luo.]

[Physical Fitness: Level 24.6]

[Timeline: 6 times daily, refreshed at midnight, each session lasting one hour.]

[Ascension: Second-Tier Destiny Pioneer Soloist (One more breakthrough to Overlord)]

[Abilities: Photographic memory (double guiding principles), keen observation (reasoning).]

[Cang Hai Jin: Floor 85.]

[Linghe Sanshou: Fourth Level.]

[Forbidden Art: Eternal Night: Triple (Casting speed increased by 15%, range doubled, can imprison two enemies simultaneously.)]

[Night Breathing Technique: Fifth Level (Perception Diameter 200 Meters)]

[A summoning spell of the Graham family.]

[Yin Shen: Entry-level 15.2% (Currently can accumulate two layers, affected by level 21 constitution, each layer lasts for 11 seconds)]

minute)]

[New Technique: Azure Abyss: 15 meters in diameter.]

[Forbidden Technique Night God Level 1: Currently grants invisibility for 4 minutes and 10 seconds at night, +40% speed.]

[First Transformation Mastery: Strength +30%.]

[Number of spiritual beings mastered: 2 million.]

[The Kingdom of Heaven Protocol: Can be used three times.]

[Relics: Tier 1 Demon Substitute (Durability 18.3%), Tier 2 Ariel's Wings (Usable 5 times), Tier 3 Protector's Cross (Usable 2 times).]

He looked at the attribute panel again and saw that Eagle God's stats had increased by 5% from just over 10%, which was not bad.

He then took a closer look at the Graham family's summoning spells, wondering if he would have a chance to use them later.

Furthermore, the Wings of Ariel, the Cross of Protection, and other methods and trump cards that have been acquired long ago have never been used in reality.

He got up to wash up, washed two bowls of cherries, and went to the room to play games with his baby while chatting and laughing.

As if nothing happened tonight.

Before they knew it, they were playing until five in the morning.

I met with Ms. Daisy at 5 p.m. and Director Fan at 5:30 p.m., what a coincidence.

Qiao Yuan slept until four o'clock in the afternoon, a total of eleven hours. He slept very comfortably and was full of energy.

He rubbed his hands together, sat on the edge of the bed, took a couple of deep breaths, and looked at the rain outside the window. The thought in his eyes grew stronger: it was coming soon.

I first spoke with Ms. Daisy on the phone, and we'll meet at the East Gate later.

He then took out Caesar's quantum hard drive, checked it on his phone, and put it back in his pocket.

Then I called the baby and told her that I was meeting with Director Fan in the evening and asked her to come along.

The baby was quite surprised: "Why are you being so mysterious? Why are you meeting with Director Fan?"

You'll find out this evening.

"Okay," Bao Bao added before hanging up, "Master's time is very precious. The fact that he's willing to see you shows that he values ​​you highly."

Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "I know. In short, no matter what mission you have this evening, you must make time with your master. The location should be the Tiandu Branch."

"Okay, remember to eat."

Listening to the baby's sweet words, Qiao Yuan cherished the moment even more. With the arrangements nearly complete, he would go see Teacher Daisy first and then get up to eat.

With one hour left, he planned to buy two expensive energy potions for tonight.

He then called Director Fan to confirm their meeting at the Tiandu Branch at 17:30 PM.

Mecha suits — I'll have to check them out.

He took an umbrella and went out. After a while, he arrived at the flagship store of Fajia Heavy Industry, which sells wearable devices.

Mecha suits are quite expensive, starting at a million.

With 800 million yuan still in his account, he finally chose a dark red Phoenix mecha suit worth 200 million yuan, which focuses on speed and super reaction, as well as decent defense, but has poor offensive capabilities and belongs to the agility category.

Instead of using mechs to increase damage, it's better to use mechs to enhance his already outstanding speed and reaction time, making him even more top-tier.

In fact, according to his plan, he could have borrowed a mecha suit from Yu Jin tonight.

But he still prefers to buy because he can choose for himself and select what suits him best.

He sees the baby's mecha suit every day. In comparison, Ember's mecha suit focuses more on strength and defense, and its speed is just average. After all, they all have floating vehicles in their squads.

The current Firewind H900 has a top speed of 150 kilometers per hour, which is double that of his previous flight backpack. It is not only as fast as lightning, but also provides a very powerful perception system that can automatically scan for any damage within a 50-meter diameter.

This is much weaker than the Night Breathing Technique, but what he likes is that, in addition to perception, it also has the ability to actively assist in dodging!

In other words, when this mecha suit senses danger within a 50-meter radius, it can perform forced displacement, forced rolls, forced dodges, and so on at a speed faster than the user can think, which is incredibly cool.

This is also the biggest selling point of this mecha suit, as it puts all the structure and system resources of the entire body into the function of active evasion.

It has extremely high mobility.

After he put it on, he played in the area behind the store for more than twenty minutes.

The user experience was fantastic.

The staff specially demonstrated to him the unique charm of this mech when conventional weapons such as pistols, submachine guns, and rocket launchers approached.

Combined with his agility and perception, he was almost like a fish in water, easily dodging bullet damage.

Although he used a flight backpack before, he only had the ability to fly. Now, he truly experienced the high speed and agility of a bird.

It's a completely different feeling from both jetpacks and hovercars.

You can dodge any slight movement!

Just like the way he used to dodge Zhao Qiuhai's attack by foreseeing the future.

He's a perfect match for her!

As the saying goes, in martial arts, speed is the only way to break through defenses.

Of course, there are also end-users, but they basically have no attack methods, and because of their high mobility, the mechs will suffer great losses.

Like the Wind God set, it has strong advantages but also significant drawbacks, making it a type that cannot be used for long.

If it were someone else, they would definitely feel bad about spending 200 million on a mecha that wouldn't last long.

But he didn't care.

After the trial ended at 4:40, Qiao Yuan paid and then went to school wearing the one-piece dark red mecha suit.

He was completely covered from head to toe, yet incredibly lightweight, finally experiencing the joy of being an ancient Iron Man.

Looking at the pale purple holographic view covered by the helmet and visor, Qiao Yuan felt incredibly at ease for the first time, freer than a bird, no longer afraid of bullets!

You get what you pay for. Although it looks tight, it's actually very comfortable to wear, like a part of your body.

The mecha's interior features a complete cashmere bionic interlayer and also provides a circulating breathing system with a filter, making it waterproof and dustproof, even in contaminated areas.

Two power batteries provide a six-hour battery life, which is great. The seller even gave me two extra batteries as a gift.

I returned to school at 4:50.

Ms. Daisy has arrived.

In the rain, she held a white umbrella, wore a black trench coat, and had long, golden wavy hair draped over her shoulders, exuding a mature and sophisticated aura. In particular, her snow-white collar accentuated her hot figure, making passersby turn their heads.

His helmet visor automatically retracted, revealing his face, and he waved to Ms. Daisy in the East Gate Garden.

Daisy looked at Qiao Yuan's streamlined mecha suit with considerable surprise, and smiled, "Just bought it?"

"Yes," Qiao Yuan subconsciously touched his head, which was constricted by the helmet, "So when disaster struck, I specially bought a speed-type helmet, just to be prepared."

Daisy smiled and nodded. "Yeah, but this set must be expensive, right?"

"It is indeed quite expensive," Qiao Yuan said with a pained expression, "but peace of mind is the most important thing."

As he spoke, he gestured for Ms. Daisy to come deeper into the garden, handed her the prepared earphones, connected them to his phone, and gestured for her to listen.

Although Daisy was a little confused, she still took the headphones and put them on.

Qiao Yuan was playing a recording of his phone call with Gavin Girard from the previous night.

Almost instantly.

Ms. Daisy's face immediately darkened. She took a few steps back and questioned him in a low voice, "You call him 'senior'? No, that's not right! How do you know him! Who exactly are you?!"

For the first time, she felt that the student in front of her was so unfamiliar. That voice belonged to the murderer who killed her master, the messenger from the Church of the Night. She would never forget it for the rest of her life!

How could Qiao Yuan, a student with excellent character and academic performance, be so familiar with the other person?

It's too disjointed!

Qiao Yuan had anticipated this and spoke with a very calm expression: "I'm sorry, Ms. Daisy, I can't say anything right now, but I can assure you, he will die tonight!"

"I will be meeting with Director Fan of the Tiandu Branch at 17:50 PM. The meeting will be inside the Tiandu Branch. If Ms. Daisy is interested, you are welcome to come."

Daisy's surprise gradually faded, and she suddenly realized that the obsession in Qiao Yuan's eyes was even stronger than hers.

Her intuition told her that this was not something Qiao Yuan had said casually; the seriousness of the situation seemed to far exceed her imagination, yet it was still too sudden.

The murderer she had been so worried about was actually contacting Qiao Yuan to frame and kill her.

However, the recording did mention Director Fan and others, seemingly intending to kill her—which made her feel uneasy.

Director Fan recognized him; he was Yan Baobao's mentor, and when she enrolled, the head of the teaching department even fought over him.

And that name Simon... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

As a fifth-order ascended Galaxy University teacher, she had seen many storms, but such arrogant and domineering remarks seemed to be part of some kind of conspiracy that she was completely unaware of!

The more she thought about it, the more horrified she felt.

She took two deep breaths and looked at Qiao Yuan solemnly: "What exactly happened? Don't be impulsive, it has nothing to do with you, don't do anything stupid, I'll be there later."

"That would be wonderful! Ms. Daisy, you absolutely must come. I'll head out first and wait for you."

"Wouldn't it be better to go together?" Ms. Daisy suddenly felt a little hesitant.

Qiao Yuan stopped and turned around to smile earnestly at Ms. Daisy, saying, "Listen to me today, Ms. Daisy, tonight is very important."

After saying that, he strode away.

Walk along the road in the school towards the main gate.

This isn't a great solution, but there really isn't a better way.

On the way, he called Hutu.

"You and Qin Xue come directly to the Tiandu Branch. Be quick, don't waste any time."

"Okay, haha, I'll be right there." Hu Tu seemed particularly excited.

it's time.

With more than twenty minutes to go before his appointment with Director Fan, he didn't choose to take a taxi directly, but instead walked for more than ten minutes first.

We arrived at the Tiandu branch at exactly 17:27 PM, without any rush.

He greeted many people in the bureau, nodded slightly, and then entered the elevator to go upstairs.

A moment later, Qiao Yuan stepped onto the top floor of the branch office, walking on the smooth, shiny marble floor.

The director's office is just ahead.

This was the first time he had ever stepped into Director Fan's office in real life.

I've only been here in the timeline before.

The baby is sitting on the sofa eating a lollipop.

Director Fan stood to the side, looking at the wanted list with a very cold gaze.

After seeing him walk in, she smiled slightly and said, "Our little lucky star, is there something you want to say today that you're all dressed up for?"

Meanwhile, Director Fan glanced at Qiao Yuan's mecha twice, but didn't ask any questions.

Yan Baobao, however, was instantly drawn in and jumped up from the sofa to walk over: "Huh? This mecha is pretty cool, but it's a bit fragile?"

Qiao Yuan spoke first to Director Fan, saying modestly, "I dare not accept the title of lucky star, but I do have something to do today, and it is extremely important. I know Director Fan is very busy."

"Go ahead and do it, no rush."

Having seen countless storms, Director Fan didn't urge Qiao Yuan, but her intuition told her that Qiao Yuan's behavior today was very unusual.

At this point, Qiao Yuan smiled at Bao Bao and said, "Right? I specifically chose the speed type. After all, my pioneer sequence itself doesn't have much strength, so it's better to just choose the fastest and quickest one."

Yan Baobao narrowed her eyes and gently touched Qiao Yuan's mecha with her little hand: "It's pretty good, it really suits you, although I don't think the crisis outside the city will cause any big waves~"

"Fool, it would be even better if the crisis outside the city disappeared. What we're buying is peace of mind."

"Um, um, what is it?"

Qiao Yuan sat down on the sofa, but then shook his head: "Not now. A few friends are coming later, and they are all very important."

"Who is it?" the baby asked curiously.

Director Fan frowned and asked, "Qiao Yuan, tell me the truth, what exactly happened?"

Qiao Yuan took a deep breath and shook his head again. He glanced at the time and said seriously to Director Fan, "It's 1 now."

7:31, please wait another half hour.

Yan Baobao and Director Fan exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what he was up to.

But in the end, Director Fan agreed.

Over the past twenty-odd days, it was almost entirely Qiao Yuan's efforts that gave her the qualification to join the Sunset District General Bureau. She had been waiting for this opportunity.

What else can we do but force them to answer?

As the branch office director, she shouldn't be so out of control. Let's wait and see.

The baby asked with some concern, "What's wrong with you today? Why are you being so secretive?"

"It's okay, you'll see in a bit."

Seeing that Qiao Yuan wouldn't say anything, Bao Bao said helplessly, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

About 5 minutes passed.

Qiao Yuan's phone suddenly rang; the caller was Veronica.

But this time he didn't hesitate and answered the call immediately, even though it wasn't the time the task was scheduled to be released at 6 p.m. last night.

He was speaking to Veronica calmly and unhurriedly right in front of Director Fan and the baby.

Where are you now?

Veronica's tone clearly carried a hint of displeasure, though it wasn't fully apparent.

Qiao Yuan let out a cold laugh: "Am I obligated to answer you? If you have nothing to say, then don't speak."

At the same time, both Bao Bao and Director Fan immediately looked over with extra vigilance.

Although neither of them spoke, they could both hear Veronica's voice on the phone.

"You brat!" Veronica gritted her teeth on the other end of the phone, her voice aggressive. "Are you at the Tiandu branch right now?"

"Yeah, right, and then?" Qiao Yuan curled his lip indifferently: "Spying on me, huh? Is that all you've got?"

"You?" Veronica was taken aback for a moment, but still asked coldly, "What are you doing at the Tiandu branch at this time?"
