Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Liu Mengyao fled in panic.

Seeing this, Li Xu grinned and moved closer...

"No wonder he's our bureau's little genius?"

"That's what you call being assertive!"

He Li shrugged and didn't reply.

Mu Lan then spoke up: "It seems you've already chosen your teammates for the Sky Eye Department."

"With your abilities, you can invite the rest of your teammates to help you whenever you find suitable ones. For now, you should submit your application and get the vehicle first."

"We'll report your situation to the deputy director, and he'll probably assign you a task soon."

"You can drive there then."

Hearing this, He Li nodded.

"Okay!" he replied. Seeing this, Mu Lan and Li Xu didn't say anything more and just waved and left.

At the same time, the watch vibrated...

[Ding! Your 200 merit points have been credited to your account!]

[Details of merits are as follows...]

[50 Merit Points for Killing the Blood Gang Parasite Leader, 130 Merit Points for Killing the Other Ten or More Parasites, and 20 Merit Points for Supporting Other Investigators to Prevent the Special Bureau from Suffering Losses!]

"200 points? Not bad."

Upon seeing the message, He Li beamed with joy.

In the Special Bureau's shop, Spirit Pills cost 50 merit points each; 200 merit points can get you 4 pills.

In addition, he earned 500 merit points by passing the test...

He Li now has 700 merits.

Yu Ji, who was standing nearby, leaned in and said happily, "I also got 100 merit points, and you... 200? It's definitely better to be a combat-type investigator."

Upon seeing He Li's watch, she exclaimed in admiration.

Support investigators often don't face danger directly, so they earn fewer merits.

Yu Ji is lucky to get 100.

Ordinary assistant investigators follow along and do small tasks...

Each mission awards ten to twenty merit points.

It takes many days to produce even one Spirit Qi Pill.

Of course, as the investigator's level increases, the missions become more dangerous and the rewards are greater; Yu Ji, following He Li, was able to complete high-merit missions right from the start...

Countless people would envy this.

Thinking that he benefited from He Li's influence, Yu Ji felt that he should play a greater role.

Otherwise, she felt she wasn't even worthy of clinging to this powerful figure...

So when they saw He Li open the shop, seemingly preparing to exchange merit points for spirit pills...

Yu Ji suddenly said, "Why don't you hold off on changing for now?"

"Hmm? Not changing?" He Li looked up.

Yu Ji continued, "Your combat strength already far surpasses that of other investigators of the same level. Most monsters would be no match for you in a head-on fight."

"In that case, you don't actually need to immediately exchange for Spirit Qi Pills to pursue a higher realm."

"Compared to exchanging for Spirit Qi Pills..."

"Why don't you save another 300 to exchange for a Spirit Heart Pill?"

As she spoke, she casually turned on her watch and brought up information about the Spirit Heart Pill...

【Name: Spirit Heart Pill】

[Required Merit Points: 1000]

[Effect: After consumption, it can temporarily enhance comprehension and has a chance to enter a state of "enlightenment," allowing for rapid mastery and refinement of internal and external martial arts techniques to unleash even greater effects!]

Hmm? Enhancing comprehension, sudden enlightenment?

There are such good things?

He Li was surprised and doubtful; his current combat strength was indeed sufficient.

What he needs is to master external martial arts so that he can fully utilize his power.

Or refine your mental techniques to achieve greater results.

The elixir that Yu Ji helped him find...

It is indeed better than using the Spirit Qi Pill.

Furthermore, monsters also possess spiritual energy, so consuming them directly without changing to a spiritual energy pill makes no difference. On the other hand, the effects of a spiritual heart pill are not available to every type of monster.

"Okay, then I'll deposit another 300."

"It's just two tasks anyway."

As he spoke, Yu Ji was both delighted and speechless.

To her delight, she was able to help He Li.

Speechless... Is He Li even speaking human language? What does he mean by "it's just two tasks"?

300 merit points—an ordinary investigator would have to complete countless missions to accumulate that much, but this guy…

Yu Ji shook his head and said nothing more.

She then helped He Li with the vehicle application.

There are also housing applications...

He Li has no plans to repair the rental house.

The house still contained Wang Rui's severed limbs, disgusting; anyway, the bureau was responsible for allocating housing, so He Li, without any hesitation, demanded a villa with beautiful mountains and clear waters under Yu Ji's guidance.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"A villa? And it has to be in a nice location?"

"This kid really doesn't hold back!"

Li Qing glanced at the application He Ligang had just submitted and a slightly helpless smile appeared on her face.

On the other side, Mu Lan and Li Xu were puzzled.

"Deputy Director, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing!" Li Qing shook his head.

Li Xu then pressed further, "Deputy Director, He Li's abilities have been confirmed. What are your thoughts on his subsequent tasks...?"

"Let him deal with the evil spirits!" Li Qing replied. "A 'wealthy evil spirit' has appeared in the Rainbow Bridge District. If he eats that monster, his survival ability will be greatly enhanced."

"A financial assistant?" Li Xu and Mu Lan nodded slightly.

Not long after, He Li...

[Ding! Your task has been accepted!]

[Mission Objective: Financial Assistant]

[Mission Details: Within six months, three wealthy individuals in the upscale Hongqiao residential area have died in the same manner. According to our bureau's investigators, the cause is suspected to be the work of a "financial accomplice"...]

"A money carrier? What's that?"

He Li was puzzled upon seeing the task details.

Yu Ji, standing nearby, explained: "A strange and deceitful act!"

"Have you ever heard of acting as a tiger's accomplice? The accomplices are originally local monsters, mostly driven by tiger demons."

"But in reality, there are many kinds of changgui (伥鬼)."

"And what drives them is not necessarily a physical object."

"For example, driven by emotions and influenced by spiritual energy, there are those who kill for pleasure, driven by violent emotions, or those who mock others for amusement, etc..."

"The accomplices of the wealthy are driven by greed."

"Those who are possessed are bound to be greedy for money, and they might do anything to get it."

Goodness, there are so many kinds of changgui?

He Li became interested.

"What abilities does that money-lover have?"

He pressed further, and Yu Ji replied, "As far as I know, the combat capabilities of the Changgui are rather limited."

"But they can switch between the real and the virtual."

"It's about transforming from a physical entity into something ethereal, allowing them to do things like pass through walls. So, the best way to deal with it is to strike decisively before it activates its abilities!"

"Otherwise, it will be troublesome."

As she spoke, He Li's eyes lit up.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

He couldn't wait to devour Cai Chang and then master the ability to switch between reality and illusion.

Upon seeing this, Yu Ji quickly followed him.

The two arrived at the garage behind Building 5, where most of the investigators' cars were parked. The car that He Li had just applied for and received approval for was also parked here and could be driven away directly.

A key is not needed.

The vehicles belonging to the Special Bureau are all domestically developed and equipped with advanced intelligent systems developed by the Special Bureau.

This thing is completely inaccessible to outsiders.

When He Li got close...

The car doors opened automatically.

At the same time, the in-car voice prompts began to play...

[Mission destination confirmed: Hongqiao District!]

With the sound, the car sped off at top speed without any manual intervention; of course, the car that Mu Lan and the others were driving also had this intelligent system.

She just prefers to drive herself.

Furthermore, with the car operating on autopilot, He Li and Yu Ji can focus on analyzing the task...

"I've read the mission details."

"It's almost certain that their wife did it."

Inside the car, Yu Ji, his eyes fixed on his watch, spoke to He Li without turning his head, continuing, "The three deceased tycoons were Zhang Mu, Wu Fang, and Sun Tianze."

"Their wives are all Li Zhongping."

"They died one by one, and Li Zhongping married them one by one."

"And they took all their inheritance as well."

"As a result, the relatives of those wealthy individuals even took Li Zhongping to court to resolve the matter..."

"But from a legal point of view, she is indeed innocent. The police can't find out the cause of death of those wealthy people, so they can only report it as suicide and report it to the Special Affairs Bureau for investigation."

"Later, the problem was discovered by the Sky Eye..."

"The problem now is that Li Zhongping has disappeared."

"Her location cannot be confirmed."

He Li nodded slightly as he listened to her words.

Li Zhongping's situation is too obvious; everyone can guess it. But finding her location is not easy.

He thought he should ask Yu Ji what he thought.

But before he could even speak...

Yu Ji had already expressed his thoughts...

"I looked into Li Zhongping's situation. Seven months ago, she was a factory worker. Logically, even if she was possessed by a money-grubber, she shouldn't have been able to come into contact with wealthy people due to the influence of her social circle."

"However, not long after, she suddenly married Zhang Mu, who was in the real estate business."

"They then precisely targeted other wealthy individuals..."

"I have a feeling that she has someone backing her up."

"That person is providing her with targets."

"And..." Yu Ji said after fiddling with the virtual keyboard that appeared on her wristwatch for a moment, "And I discovered that she has transferred all the inheritance she received."

"The funds were transferred to multiple accounts in a distributed manner."

"This doesn't seem like something a human could do."

"Furthermore, greedy people are unlikely to easily give away the wealth they have acquired."

"Unless someone is influencing or manipulating it!"

"Therefore, I suspect..."

Before she could finish speaking, He Li was already excited.

"A group crime!!!"
