I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 386: [303] Invading the Intellect (2nd update for monthly pass and recommendations)_1
 

Pei Jinye returned to the dormitory just as Tang Wanfeng was sneaking back from the neighboring dorm.

“I just asked around, and out of the seventy-plus new beginners this term, nearly half have successfully entered the beginner level… I feel I’m close to breaking through.”

“Impressive,” Pei Jinye sincerely praised.

Tang Wanfeng smiled, offering to take Pei Jinye out for dinner regardless of whether Pei Jinye intended to stay with the Elemental Association. After all, as a member of the Inspection Team, it was good to have more friends and connections.

Inside the cafeteria.

Tang Wanfeng spoke in a low voice, “I heard that the spot for that guy from the Nangong Family… was bought from outside. I just realized it’s all about connections and relationships.”

Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow in interest.

“That guy’s talent was only B-Level, the same as mine, yet people from all four academies were scrambling over him, clearly eyeing the Nangong Family’s network and resources behind him.”

Pei Jinye wasn’t surprised.

Tang Wanfeng noted his disinterest in these matters and quickly changed the subject, “By the way, Brother Pei, have you thought about how to earn Elemental coins?”

“I’ll take on tasks. What about you?” Pei Jinye scooped himself some fish soup. He couldn’t deny that Tang Wanfeng, the big brother, was generous. Buying Spirit Meat without hesitation showed he was truly willing to spend.

“I haven’t decided yet…” Tang Wanfeng hesitated, “I chatted with them this evening.

Tasks from the Elemental Association are divided into internal and external tasks. The internal tasks are fairly generous, but they are either too difficult or too simple and easily snatched up by others.

External tasks involve the outside world paying the Elemental Association to request assistance, generally in escorting, tracking, or providing muscle. A mission might take you out for a week or half a month. Although tiring, there are benefits, and sometimes you even get extra rewards.”

Pei Jinye chuckled, “Are you still short of money?”

Tang Wanfeng smiled embarrassedly, “Who doesn’t want more money? I’m hesitating. If I don’t get an easy task, I might ask my family to spend some money to post a task.”

Pei Jinye gave him a thumbs up.

This meant his family was really wealthy.

After dinner, Tang Wanfeng didn’t return to the dormitory, as he had plans with someone else.

Pei Jinye didn’t go back either.

He went outside in search of a quiet area to cultivate.

Night enveloped the surroundings.

The dim yellow streetlights on both sides of the road and the incandescent lights from the shops cast their reflections around.

As Pei Jinye continued towards the park, the bright lights gradually fell behind him.

The “Mixed Yuan Twelve Lotuses” had already fused with the Karmic Fire, and the power that burst forth was clearly different from before, a fact that had already been demonstrated during the confrontation in Dragon Valley.

He had tried fusing skills before.

Fusing low-tier skills could lead to an upgrade in quality.

What about those advanced heart methods or even ancient martial arts then?

They could surely be fused as well.

However, raising those high-quality skills to the Breaking the limit level was still challenging for Pei Jinye.

The only difficulty lay in… time.

The enhancement from Clear Brain and the Innate Battle Body allowed him to cultivate faster than the average person, but for now, he had not achieved the legendary instantaneous understanding.

Pei Jinye had even contemplated converting his Universal Gene into Martial Arts Aptitude.

But after considering it, he gave up the idea.

Without more high-quality cultivation techniques, high martial arts aptitude would be useless.

Unless he created his own…

But to reach the level of creating his own techniques, the Innate Battle Body would have to be upgraded to at least the Fifth or Sixth Rank, or even more.

“Hm?”

Pei Jinye suddenly stopped in his tracks.

In the shadowy alcove of the alley, several stray dogs were gnawing at a decaying corpse, with a heavy stench of blood.

Just as he halted,

He swiftly raised his hand to block something coming at him from the front.

“Bang!”

A dark figure shot up from the shadows, and as its arm heavily struck against Pei Jinye’s arm, it was the figure who let out a muffled groan.

“Mind your own—crack!”

Pei Jinye lunged forward, and the terrifying force of his charge directly shattered the arm of the shadow blocking his path.

He took out the Bloodthirsty Bead, ready to convert it.

But to his surprise, the bead stopped functioning.

“Vitality can’t be absorbed, and now even conversion isn’t working.”

“Sure enough, good luck never sides with me.”

Pei Jinye laughed mockingly at himself.

At that moment, someone at the end of the alley aimed a gun at him, “Who’s there? Calling headquarters, suspect possibly spotted.”

“I am Pei Jinye from the Seventh Inspection Team.” Pei Jinye turned around.

No sooner had he spoken than the other party suddenly opened fire.

Pei Jinye dodged, avoiding the bullet.

His brow furrowed.

He stepped forward, directly grabbed the gun holder’s hand, and yanked it upward. In the blink of an eye, he stepped forward and sent the person flying with a slam.

“Bang!”

Half the wall crumbled, leaving a huge gap.

Debris scattered.

Pei Jinye walked up to the person, searched through their clothes, and indeed, it was a member of the second team of the Inspection Team.

He tossed the notebook onto the person’s face.

“Brought it on yourself.”

He took out his phone and called Wei Shurao: “Kai Team, it’s me, I’m at…”

He glanced around, confirmed his position, and then reported the situation.

“I understand, I’ll send someone right away. Don’t touch the second team’s people. If anyone comes from their side, just use my name,” Wei Shurao rapidly instructed.

Pei Jinye put away the phone and walked over to the Shadow that had attacked him before.

The person had also fainted.

He reached out and pulled off the covering black cloth, revealing an ugly young man.

Before he could search the body—

He suddenly stopped and his fingers shot out as quick as lightning.

“Tinkle,” a clear sound rang out.

A Hidden Weapon was knocked aside by Pei Jinye.

Before he could pursue, a Shadow swiftly escaped from the alleyway without looking back.

“Interesting, a gang operation?”

Wei Shurao personally led the team and cordoned off the scene.

The person previously injured by Pei Jinye had already been sent to the hospital for treatment.

“Such a heavy hand?” Wei Shurao looked over.

“If I really wanted to be harsh, he’d be dead,” Pei Jinye said and pointed to the bullet holes in the wall: “I had already declared myself and he still shot. Who knows if he’s not an accomplice.”

Wei Shurao stared at the bullet holes in the wall and nodded his head. However, he explained, “I’ve already gotten in touch with the second team, that kid is a rookie. His teammate has just been killed, he was probably mentally unstable…”

Pei Jinye nodded. He did not feel sorry for the other party.

If it weren’t for his quick response and sufficient strength, that gunshot just now could have been a fatal accident.

“By the way, how come you came here?” Wei Shurao asked.

“I was looking for a quiet place to cultivate,” Pei Jinye replied frankly. Although the surveillance was not as pervasive as in future worlds, he had not avoided being seen on his way there and was not doing anything inconspicuous.

“Don’t we have Cultivation Rooms?” Wei Shurao asked, puzzled.

“Five thousand bucks an hour, too extravagant,” Pei Jinye sighed: “Kai Team, how about you lend me some money? I’ll definitely pay you back once I have it.”

Wei Shurao was astonished and laughed dryly: “All my money has been invested by your sister-in-law.”

“Tell sister-in-law, investing in stocks and funds is not as good as investing in me, my potential’s super good.”

“Get lost.”

The two joked around for a while.

At this time, members of the Second Inspection Team had arrived.

As soon as they got there, they were pointed by Wei Shurao at the bullet holes in the wall: “Old Xu, there’s a lot to talk about this incident.”

“My men were almost killed by your men, and you still have something to say?” The newcomer replied irritably.

“What else? Stand here and let your men shoot me?” Wei Shurao smiled faintly: “Let’s follow the procedure. My people didn’t do anything wrong; instead, they caught a criminal and should be commended for it.”

Hearing this, the newcomer glanced at Wei Shurao, then at Pei Jinye, and without saying a word, walked over to the suspect. After seeing the face, he frowned: “The real killer isn’t him. Did you see anyone else?”

He looked at Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye nodded.

“Where’s the person?” the newcomer asked anxiously.

“Ran away.”

“Why didn’t you chase after him?” the newcomer was annoyed.

“Why should I chase?” Pei Jinye said amused.

The newcomer’s breath hitched, and he turned to look fiercely at Wei Shurao, only to find that Wei Shurao didn’t care at all.

“Chaotically, fine then.” The newcomer knew this wasn’t related to the Kai Team, so he didn’t bother haggling any further with the two, quickly assigned people to pursue,

…

“How are things with you cultivating at the Elemental Association?”

By the roadside, Wei Shurao lit a cigarette.

“So-so, just arrived, still feeling things out.”

Both mutually did not mention the Ouyang Family incident that occurred in the afternoon.

Before long, Wei Shurao led his team back, and the two went their separate ways.

Pei Jinye took advantage of the night to find an abandoned factory and began his cultivation.

While his spiritual power continued to recover, he didn’t forget to hack into Gaia, the Western Continent’s brain.

Even if the worlds were different, understanding the mainframe of the brain and then hacking it again in reality would save a lot of trouble.
