Cultivating through increasing my stats in America Chapter 338 - 210: You’re Better than a Cheater = You Cheate

Just as these affairs were converging in their tilines, Li Ang had almost finished the assorted tasks related to business cooperation, and the test results followed closely behind.

What everyone was most concerned about was naturally Li Ang’s test results.

To everyone’s relief, all of Li Ang’s dical tests ca back perfectly normal, and his bicycle was as standard as could be.

Ironically, it turned out that soone among the other competitors had indeed installed a hidden motor.

However, the irony was that even with such an act, he still failed to achieve any honors.

Despite such incontrovertible evidence, those few bloggers were still insisting stubbornly; it was just that current detection thods couldn’t identify the new type of drug he had taken, that’s all.

But such obstinacy brought them nothing but overwhelming ridicule, as they seed to have monopolized both good and bad argunts. According to their logic, every athlete might be under suspicion without evidence, which naturally couldn’t win approval from others.

As the truth ca to light, Li Ang’s account followers surpassed the million mark, earning him the title of a top-tier internet celebrity without any overstatent.

Adding the other two accounts and other platforms, his total online followers were nearly hitting the three million mark.

...

At this ti, in Hillsboro City, Florida, on a rural highway, a convoy was travelling cautiously along the road.

A middle-aged man dressed immaculately, with his hair neatly combed, asked in a deep voice to the man sitting in the passenger seat.

"Lucas, how much longer until we reach the interference zone you ntioned?"

"Mr. Geller, we’re almost there. We can almost see the warning line ahead. From that point onwards, we officially enter the interference zone," replied the man in the front seat respectfully, turning his head back to continue fixating on the warning line up ahead.

Holger Geller’s mood was a mixture of suppressed excitent. They had just received this news not long ago and had hurriedly brought their team over.

According to the information obtained from earlier surveys, there was a high probability of finding the Crystal Stone in this area—a treasure worth hundreds of millions and impossible to buy with just money.

For this purpose, Geller had not only brought over a dozen technicians but also over four vehicles with ard personnel equipped with complete gear, all to ensure a foolproof operation.

As the vehicles ignored the warning line and drove into the area, Holger Geller’s brow began to furrow.

"What’s going on? Why don’t I feel the interference from the Crystal Stone?"

The man sitting in the passenger seat started to sweat profusely and said with a slightly trembling voice:

"Maybe we need to go a bit further. The warning line might have been set too far out."

Ten minutes later, Holger Geller stood on the desert terrain, his face livid as he barked:

"Where is my Crystal Stone?"

They had already scoped out the vicinity, and apart from so dizziness due to the bumpy ride, there was no sign of interference at all.

Including the tests perford by the professionals with their equipnt, there was simply no reaction; all data indicated that everything in this place was normal.

Without interference, there was little point in continuing the search here.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the Crystal Stone was nearby, it would definitely cause a wide range of interference, unless soone, like him, had prepared the sa kind of device and placed the Crystal Stone inside to shield this interference.

But if that were the case, then the Crystal Stone was most likely already taken by soone else.

"Have the investigation team co over and check! I want to know who got ahead of and took the goods," he commanded.

Holger Geller got back into his car and slamd the door shut with force.

Soon, a team of professional investigators was stationed in Hillsboro City.

Their initial point of entry was to scrutinize the surveillance of that particular road.

Although there was no surveillance in the area where the source of disturbance was located, there were very few forks in the road. By investigating the vehicle traffic at a few of these forks, they could determine who might have had the opportunity to pass through that area.

This process was naturally a very intricate task of data analysis, but for them, it was no longer necessary to rely on human effort—the AI they had developed was more than capable of handling the job.

After the preliminary investigation of this information, the next task was offline investigation.

By analyzing the big data of these car owners and extracting a portion of the individuals more inclined to adventure and rebellious spirit based on date and personality, they could inquire whether they had driven through that place and whether they had experienced any physical discomfort while passing through.

Through this work, they could roughly determine a ti fra, that is, when the disturbance source still existed and when it had disappeared.

After confirming this information, they would conduct a secondary analysis of the remaining people, sorting them in terms of suspicion based on their occupation, behavioral habits, personality, and the number of tis they passed through this road.

Following that, and the most tedious task which couldn’t be replaced by machines, was to conduct in-depth investigations and even interrogations of these individuals.

This was undoubtedly a task that consud a great deal of manpower and resources, but for the sake of this matter, it was absolutely worth it.

Needless to say, Li Ang was also within their investigation range.

At this ti, Li Ang had already returned ho, but he was still completely unaware of this news.

He didn’t have anything particularly important to do recently, but as ti went on, he had received an invitation from Dwayne Johnson to participate in "Titan Gas."

However, now the needs of the two had essentially reversed. Initially, Li Ang had joined the program because he needed money and wanted to build renown.

Now it was Dwayne Johnson who needed Li Ang’s popularity and wanted him to participate in his program.

As a special guest, he would only need to win the monthly championship to qualify for the final annual championship competition.

Although Li Ang no longer held the monthly championship and the "Titan" title in high regard, the prize money for the overall champion was still very enticing.

One million US Dollars, even for a "multi-millionaire" like him, was definitely not an insignificant amount, not to ntion the substantial appearance fee that Dwayne Johnson had arranged for him.

Upon returning ho, the first person Li Ang saw was Sheila.

This long ti apart had indeed made him miss her greatly.

"Co in quickly, it’s cold outside. Why are you wearing so little?"

Because there was a heater inside, Sheila was only wearing a white knitted sweater on top and a brown A-line skirt on the bottom. She was wearing thick, slightly see-through black stockings and was barefoot.

"It’s fine, I’m a professional athlete and not afraid of the cold."

Li Ang was just wearing a long-sleeved shirt, which didn’t look like appropriate attire for the temperatures below ten degrees outside.

(Parallel worlds, don’t get hung up on the actual dates of the Tour de France)

With his current constitution, whether it was high temperatures or low temperatures, he had an extraordinary ability to adapt. Even if the temperature dropped below zero degrees, he could endure it by just wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

"Then let have a good feel of your professional athlete’s body and see if you’ve gotten stronger during this ti."

Sheila had intended to restrain herself, planning to make Li Ang dinner and dine with him before moving on to the next activity, but her body wouldn’t listen to her.

As soon as she touched Li Ang’s muscles after he walked through the door, she couldn’t control herself anymore.

"Look, I can tear a hole in these thick stockings; does that count as getting stronger?"

Their bodies were tightly pressed against one another, and then they managed to cook and dine without neglect, the main the being a flurry of activity, with neither’s mouth remaining idle.
