To Lin Chen's surprise, after Li Zhanyi instructed him on his shooting movements, he suddenly became very accurate at shooting targets.

He himself didn't know why he was so accurate all of a sudden, as if he had suddenly been given a cheat code.

"My God...it was practically all bullseye...only two shots missed..."

Looking at the target paper in the center, which had been riddled with bullets, Li Zhanyi raised her head and looked at Lin Chen with a horrified gaze.

"You don't have some kind of psychic ability that's always right, do you?"

"You think my spiritual knowledge is endless...?" Lin Chen laughed. "Master taught me well. After you standardized my movements, I started to get the hang of it."

"Really...?" Li Zhanyi looked disbelieving. "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with feelings... You couldn't have been acting before, could you? No... it didn't seem like acting, you were being tossed around by Qingtian..."

"I was really unlucky to be spied on by you yesterday..." Lin Chen covered his forehead.

He moved his wrists, feeling a strong force flowing through his fingertips, and took a soft breath.

The enhanced body became more powerful in every aspect, and this was only the result of a projection over a period of time...

If "Sky-Piercing" is projected a few more times, the power of this physical body can be further enhanced.

Even if his physical body is strengthened several more times, he will only be at the starting point of reaching the heavens.

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh at the danger of yesterday: if Qingtian hadn't lost his mind, he would never have been able to defeat him.

Even though Qingtian lost his mind, he only managed to win by a narrow margin with the support of "Mirage City" and Li Zhanyi.

The gap between demigods and humans is terrifyingly large.

But this is not a reason for them to act recklessly and disregard human life.

"..."

Li Zhanyi looked at the target paper, then at Lin Chen, and suddenly felt somewhat discouraged:

"Damn it... Now I can't find a shooting range partner again... Louis said he's a technician so he doesn't need to practice shooting, Lao Jiang is too busy, and everyone else is busy with their own things. But now that you're so good, I can't find an excuse to drag you along..."

Seeing the girl's dejected look, Lin Chen blinked:

"It's okay, I'll come with you usually."

"No need to try to comfort me. Not everyone likes shooting," Li Zhanyi shook his head. "I come here to play every day. Your marksmanship is good enough. Coming once or twice a week is enough."

"But I also like shooting," Lin Chen said.

He was quite frank: he has loved playing FPS games since he was a child, and guns are indeed his hobby.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhanyi looked at Lin Chen, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly:

"true and false?"

"You forgot I'm a top-tier legendary hunter?" Lin Chen shrugged. "Guess why I like playing FPS games?"

"Oh... I think so!"

Seemingly confirming that Lin Chen was not lying, Li Zhanyi suddenly became excited.

She flashed a bright smile, then pointed to the wall of guns beside her:

"Next time I'll take you to play with assault rifles! Since our main battlefield is reconnaissance, we rarely go out with rifles! Oh, you've never tried a sniper rifle, have you? But you have to go to an outdoor shooting range for that..."

"Anything is fine," Lin Chen nodded. "I really want to play."

He really wanted to play – which FPS player wouldn't want to handle a real gun?

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to keep making empty promises."

Encouraged, Li Zhanyi clapped his hands, his expression beaming with joy.

"It's about time. I'll take you to the cafeteria for lunch, and then you can go straight to the office this afternoon! I'll also tell you about the case we're investigating, about things related to Optimus Prime and the Foundation, so you'll at least have some idea."

"Keep it up! Don't think we're as laid-back as Marcus thinks. Our work won't be easy during this period."

......

The food in the Bureau of Investigation's cafeteria is indeed quite good, much better than that of university cafeterias.

After a hearty meal, Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi returned together to the Rapid Response Department's office on the 35th floor.

After exiting the elevator, Lin Chen walked along the pure white corridor to the end and returned to his familiar office.

He came here last time to ask Section Chief Jiang for help, but now he is a formal investigator.

"..."

Lin Chen was too nervous at the time and didn't really look around the office.

The office is actually not very big. The east side has a sunny floor-to-ceiling window, which faces a row of workstations, each decorated differently.

At the far north end of the room was a futuristic-looking analysis table with a blackboard behind it covered with photographs connected by ropes.

As for the south side... there's a small bar there, and the shelves behind it are filled with... coffee and alcohol?

"Oh, Xiao Zhanyi, you've brought back a new bride?"

Behind the bar, a head of chestnut-colored curly hair appeared.

Lin Chen looked closely and saw a petite woman standing on a round stool, shaking a shaker.

"Sister Lucy~" Li Zhanyi approached the bar counter, "Is your workstation ready?"

"It's all packed up, it's right next to you."

The "older sister" named Lucy turned to look at Lin Chen and waved at him:

"Little brother, what would you like to drink?"

younger brother...

Looking at Lucy's height of no more than 1.4 meters, Lin Chen swallowed hard.

"Any...anything is okay?"

"I'll make you a latte later."

After Lucy finished speaking, she poured the contents of her shaker out and fiddled with it for a while.

"This is Lucy, Lucy Verney," Li Zhanyi introduced to Lin Chen, "the head bartender of Section One, and also a weapons expert."

"Heavy...heavy weapons hand?"

Lin Chen froze, staring at Lucy's petite figure.

No... do you still use child labor?

"Little brother, what are you thinking about?" Lucy glared at Lin Chen, as if she could read his mind. "I've been in this line of work for almost ten years. I wasn't much younger than you when I joined."

Wouldn't she be thirty? She's so small!

Lin Chen didn't know where to begin complaining.

"Lucy is a master of heavy firepower; her appearance usually means a lot of casualties—like repairing damaged buildings."

After Li Zhanyi finished speaking, he pushed Lin Chen towards the office area:

"Come on, let me take you to your workstation so you can put your things down first."

Lin Chen, who had been pushed all the way, couldn't help but look back at the baby-faced woman a few times, still unable to believe that she was an adult.

Seeing his expression, Li Zhanyi's cheeks puffed out slightly.

"Hey! You really want a latte?"

"Actually, I can do anything." Lin Chen didn't react.

"You think you can have whatever you want? Here's your workstation, come on!"

Next to a spot in the corridor by the floor-to-ceiling window, Li Zhanyi took the bag from Lin Chen's hand and placed it on his workstation.

She then sat down at the workstation next door.

"Let's get this organized, I'll introduce the case to you later."

"it is good."

Lin Chen took a seat, turned on his computer, and prepared to familiarize himself with his new territory.

At that moment, his phone vibrated slightly.

Lin Chen took out his phone and looked at the notification on it:

"Your bank account has received your funds..."

"Payment received?" Lin Chen's mouth opened slightly.

They're already paying wages before work has even started?
