Chapter 46: Patrol Officer 46

Life seed to have completely cald down.

Lin Qing took a vial of the EPS series’ High Energy Release Liquid daily, repaying the debt of the ’77 Practice thod’ four tis each day.

If all went smoothly, by February 25th, he would be clear of that burden.

Besides that, there was also the debt of the Combat Skill “Speed” to be repaid.

And his Patrol work gradually returned to its mundane routine, not even a chance for a Third-class rit arose, as barely any major criminals were uncovered.

If not for the Order Level remaining at only 1.2, Lin Qing might have truly believed that the security of this society had completely improved.

...

Moreover, the police departnt kept urging the Patrol Departnt every day to step up efforts, complaining about frequent disappearances and grumbling that the Patrol was just freeloading.

This made Lin Qing realize—

In places beyond his sight, darkness most certainly still harbored sin and chaos.

Under the seemingly tranquil life, there were still raging undercurrents that could swallow him at any mont.

Even if Xiao Peidong was unaware of the Inspection Headquarters’ cultivation of him, he would certainly be wary of his potential, fearing his promotion to Patrol Officer.

Consequently, there would inevitably be a responsive strategy.

If Xiao Peidong truly was a mole for the Yuanhong Society, once he confird the threat Lin Qing posed, then he would indeed be in danger.

So, the current peace was nothing but an illusion.

Soday, this peaceful life would be torn apart by the lurking storm.

And Lin Qing also understood that all he could do was strive to improve himself, to grow stronger, and keep more cards up his sleeve.

…

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

[The debt for ‘Combat Skill “Speed”‘ has been repaid.]

On the noon of February 6th, Lin Qing finally completed his last practice of the Combat Skill “Speed,” clearing the prepaid debt for it.

“Finally cleared…”

Lin Qing exhaled in relief, no longer wishing to wait, and imdiately summoned the Entropy panel, thinking—

“Order.”

“Prepay, Combat Skill ‘WeChat’!”

He had grasped the basics of the Combat Skill ‘WeChat’ the night after learning it.

After cultivating both the ‘Min’ and ‘Speed’ to the Instinct Level of the Free Body Series Battle Techniques, the additional benefits of practicing another Free Body Series Battle Technique beca even more evident.

It took just a day and a half to grasp the basics.

This speed was already quite fast, and even without prepaying, Lin Qing was confident that he could master Combat Skill ‘WeChat’ within three months.

But not to make use of prepaying would be foolish.

This was the most efficient form of self-effort.

It couldn’t be helped; he liked to rely on his own hard work the most.

“Boom!”

At that mont, a countless stream of mysterious information continually flooded into Lin Qing’s mind.

According to the deduction of the Entropy—

Given his talent and his compatibility with the Free Body Series Battle Techniques, to perfect Combat Skill ‘WeChat,’ he had to thoroughly perate the Mysterious Energy-transford invisible force throughout every corner of his muscles, bones, and flesh, ubiquitous and condensed to the utmost extre.

Only after completing it 46 tis would he perfectly rge the Combat Skill into his instinct.

Then, a vast array of mories suddenly erged in Lin Qing’s mind.

Those were his mories of attempting to practice Combat Skill ‘WeChat,’ from being unskilled to nearing perfection, through countless sessions of arduous training.

By the ti he had perfectly rged Combat Skill ‘WeChat’ into his instincts, too much ti had passed.

Simultaneously, Lin Qing’s body began to tremble at an astonishing frequency, streams of strange invisible force swiftly running through his body, at tis diffusing like mist, at others condensing like strands of hair, freely moving with exquisite control.

After a long while, he gradually opened his eyes.

“It’s a success.”

Lin Qing looked at his hands, feeling an indescribable strangeness.

Suddenly, he picked up a retro-styled porcelain cup from the table and lightly flicked the cup with his fingertips.

This seemingly unremarkable flick caused the cup to tremble slightly, and then, without sound, it disintegrated into a myriad of fragnts that fell from his hands in a rustle.

“`

“Sigh…”

“`

Afterwards, Lin Qing’s hand beca a blurred afterimage, his palm completely enveloped in a layer of invisible airflow. Almost without a sound of breaking air, he captured all the falling debris in his hand.

Not a single piece of debris had fallen.

“Micro…”

With a gentle squeeze, Lin Qing turned the remnants of the teacup completely into fine powder.

Then, in an instant, his figure flashed and appeared in front of a trash can two ters away. With a flick of his hand, the powder was completely shaken off, falling precisely into the trash bin.

And his palm remained as clean as before, without a speck of dust.

“It really is completely different now…”

“It’s ti.”

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Lin Qing’s lips.

…

In the private training room next to the captain’s office of the Xiao Shan District Patrol Bureau.

“Sigh…”

Xiao Peidong slowly exhaled a breath and took out a piece of tissue to wipe the sweat off his forehead before sitting down to rest.

At the sa ti, he pulled out a seemingly ordinary tal tube from the nearby cabinet, poured the pale golden liquid inside into his mouth, and began to silently wait for the dicine to take effect.

“As expected of the EPS series High Energy Release Liquid, it’s truly powerful…”

A hint of a smile appeared on Xiao Peidong’s face. “If it continues like this, soon I will reach the limit of the 77 version of the Practice thod. Only…”

He slowly restrained his smile, glancing at his right arm where a sun-like peculiar tattoo gradually erged, his gaze growing complex.

This was his biggest secret, his most painful mory, and the motivation that had driven him to climb up to this day.

Xiao Peidong took a deep breath, allowing the tattoo on his right arm to vanish.

“I can’t beco complacent, I must climb with all my strength…”

“The gene modification experints the organization conducted on were extrely painful, but they also brought closer to the Mysterious Energy of the Second Energy Level. As long as I can perceive the outside world, I’ll soon be able to master the Original Chaoyang thod…”

“I just lack the Super Sensing Liquid in the hands of that woman, Zhou Yang.”

Xiao Peidong’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “That cunning fox, clearly having obtained the Super Sensing Liquid but still unwilling to give it to , wanting to bargain with , hmph, after I rise to a higher position…”

He always felt a sense of urgency, as if an invisible fierce beast was relentlessly chasing him from behind.

Because…

He had seen the true darkness of this world.

Even if it was just the tip of the iceberg, it made him feel like a wild dog desperately struggling in a vortex, only capable of barking furiously, never able to break free.

So he had to be a house dog that swam desperately, not drowning when falling into water, but dood to perish if he stayed.

“I wonder when Lin Qing will master the second Combat Skill…”

Xiao Peidong was always worried but tried to reassure himself as much as possible.

“The 77 version of the Practice thod isn’t easy to master. He can’t have succeeded… even if he did, as long as I quickly master the Original Chaoyang thod, he won’t be able to steal the captain’s position from …”

Suddenly—

“Beep beep.”

A sound suddenly ca from the office.

Only when an important ssage was received would the captain’s office computer make this noise.

“What’s happening?”

Xiao Peidong frowned slightly, then his hands took on a tallic sheen as he crushed the tal tube in his hand into a small ball and tossed it into the trash can before entering the office.

Sitting down in front of the work computer, he opened the important ssage he had just received.

The next mont, he suddenly froze, his eyes filled with disbelief and shocked astonishnt.

“How is that possible…”
