Solving the case: Combining the police dog's olfactory genes at the beginning

Luo Fei answered the phone with some confusion.

"Hello, who is it?"

A respectful male voice speaking fluent Chinese came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, is this Mr. Luo Fei?"

"It's me, you?"

"Hello Mr. Luo! I am an officer from the secretariat of the KMK Association, an international detective organization. I am pleased to inform you."

According to our latest statistics, since you solved the "Red-Clothed Boy" case and officially entered the KMK list, you have successfully solved five major cases classified as "unusual cases" in just one year.

Your accumulated Detective Points have reached 326788! You have now risen to eighth place on the KMK Association's global detective rankings! Congratulations, Mr. Luo Fei!

"World ranking...eighth?"

Luo Fei held the phone, then paused for a moment.

He had indeed heard of the KMK Association before; it was an unofficial but highly authoritative international detective organization whose rankings included renowned detectives, criminal profilers, and forensic experts from around the world.

However, he was busy with various tasks and didn't pay much attention to his ranking.

"Yes, Mr. Luo, it's absolutely true! You can download our official KMK Assistant software and log in using your exclusive code to view it."

The other party said enthusiastically.

"In addition, the association plans to hold a world detective exchange conference at the end of this year, and will send formal invitations to the top detectives on the list. We hope you can take the time to attend."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Fei, filled with curiosity, downloaded the KMK Assistant software from the website provided by the other party and entered his identity code.

The software interface is simple yet professional, with the most prominent feature on the homepage being the real-time global detective rankings.

Luo Fei swiped the screen and, sure enough, saw his name and photo in the eighth position! The photo was an official picture of him when he participated in the SWAT competition.

Looking at the gleaming gold "8" and his own name behind it, Luo Fei couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, he went from an unknown police officer in Jiangcheng to a world-renowned top ten "detective"!
He continued scrolling down and discovered that among the top ten, there was actually a Chinese name – “Lin Mo” – ranked fourth, which stood out conspicuously.

"Who... could Lin Mo be?"

Luo Fei was somewhat unfamiliar with this name, but being ranked fourth in the world meant he was definitely a formidable figure.

Just as he was basking in the slight sense of accomplishment of entering the world's top ten for the first time, suddenly, the system panel in his mind lit up automatically without warning, emitting a soft glow.

Immediately afterwards, lines of clear text quickly appeared on the panel.

[Ding! Detected that the host has completed the large-scale team mission "Dark Redemption of the Wonderland"!]

[Task rating: SSS+!]

[Start calculating mission rewards...]

[Gained 15860 System Sin Value Points!]

[Current accumulated sin points: 16757!]

Seeing the massive 15860 points credited to his account on the panel, Luo Fei's heart skipped a beat!
This was the most points he had ever earned in a single instance since the system was awakened over a year ago! Sure enough, punishing evil and eliminating wickedness, and cleaning up heinous dens of evil like K2 Park and Suqidu, yielded extremely rich rewards!
This trip to Miaowadi was absolutely a steal!
The system panel continued to update, clearly displaying his current overall status.

Looking at this long and dazzling list of data, Luo Fei gained a clearer understanding of his current situation.

However, just as he was about to close the system panel, a new notification message with a flashing gold border suddenly popped up at the bottom.

[Host's accumulated sin points have exceeded 10000, fulfilling the hidden condition!]

[Bonus: System update eligibility!]

[Host, would you like to immediately consume 10000 sin points to update the "Punishing Evil and Promoting Good" system from version 2.0 to version 3.0?]

Yes/No (Please note that some functions may be temporarily unavailable during system updates)

"System update? Version 3.0?"

Luo Fei's heart stirred, recalling the scene when the system was updated from 1.0 to 2.0.

After that update, he obtained skill upgrade cards, raising several core special skills to [God-level] and even the only one to [Super God-level], resulting in a qualitative leap in his strength! I wonder what kind of earth-shattering changes this 3.0 version will bring?
Curiosity, like a cat's scratch, made him restless. Although it would cost a full 10,000 precious sin points, it was essentially a "free" upgrade, so he barely hesitated and immediately recited the mantra in his mind.

Yes! Update immediately!

[Command confirmed! Consume 10000 Sin Points!]

System update process started...

Uninstalling old version core components...

[Installing core components version 3.0...]

Installation complete! Optimizing host compatibility...

Optimization complete!
The "Punish Evil and Promote Good" system version 3.0 is officially launched!

As a series of notification messages flashed by, Luo Fei felt as if his mind had been cleansed by a cool energy, becoming clearer.

He "saw" that the original somewhat old-fashioned and simple system panel had been completely transformed into an interface similar to a smartphone touchscreen, with a deep starry sky background, several beautifully designed and interesting icons arranged on it, and text labels below.

From left to right, they are:

Skill Shop

[Item Shop]

[Host's Home]

Skills Shop

Storage Box

The entire interface looks more modern and more fun.

Driven by intense curiosity, Luo Fei first used his mind to open the [Skill Shop].

The interface switches and is divided into several areas. The leftmost area is the "Regular Skills Area," which lists dozens or even hundreds of skills, each with its own unique logo icon. For example, the icon for [Super Calligraphy] is a dancing calligraphy brush.

【Super Riding Skills】is a cartoon character riding a horse.

【Super Driving】is an exquisitely designed car steering wheel.

There are also "Super Painting", "Super Medical Skills", "Super Programming" and many more, a dazzling array covering all aspects of life, art, and technology.

These skills all seemed quite useful, but for Luo Fei, who currently possessed numerous combat and support abilities, none were particularly urgent. He swiped his finger to the right.

The interface has switched to the "Skill Enhancement Card" section. The icon is an upward arrow paired with a clenched fist, symbolizing a breakthrough.

This place sells skill upgrade cards of various levels, which can upgrade existing skills to a higher level.

Luo Fei looked at his existing skills. [Super Strength] was already the only one at the [Super God level], and [Super Fighting], [Super Reaction], [Eagle Eye], etc. had also reached the [God level]. There were no skills that urgently needed to be improved for the time being, and the improvement cards were quite expensive, so he decided to put them aside for now.

Swipe right again to enter the "Special Skills Shop"!
The art style here has suddenly changed! The icons have become much cooler and more extraordinary!
[Flying Technique]

Invisibility

【Telekinetic Retrieval】

Flame Palm

Teleportation Technique

【man of Steel】

[Mind Blade]

[Time-Space Shield]

[Lightning Bolt]...

Seeing these superhero abilities that seemed to exist only in science fiction movies and myths, Luo Fei's eyes widened instantly, and his breathing became rapid!

Any one of these things would be enough to make him swagger around in this world!

He eagerly looked at the exchange rate... and then, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

Each special skill is clearly labeled below it.

Redemption requires 20000 Sin Points!
"Twenty thousand points?! That's highway robbery!"

Luo Fei couldn't help but mutter a complaint to himself.

He went through all that trouble to go abroad, wipe out a huge den of evil, and kill so many heinous criminals, but he only accumulated a little over 16,000 points. Yet, a single special skill costs 20,000.
This is too expensive!
With no money in his pocket, he could only sigh in vain at the prospect of acquiring such skills.

Luo Fei reluctantly exited the Skill Shop.

Next, he clicked on the newly appeared [Item Shop].

The items displayed here are all kinds of weapons, a blend of Chinese and Western styles, a dazzling array.

It features weapons imbued with the spirit of Eastern martial arts, such as the Heaven Sword, the Dragon Saber, the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, and the Li Quan Spear.

There are also Western fantasy-style titles such as Frostmourne, Mistilteinn, and the Spear of Longinus.

There are even some pulse weapons and energy lightsabers that look incredibly high-tech.

Each weapon boasts a unique design and exudes an extraordinary aura, with its price listed below—starting at 30,000 points and ranging from hundreds of thousands! The most prominently displayed weapon, radiating an alluring glow, is the [Infinity Stone], priced a staggering one million points!

Luo Fei's lips twitched slightly, and he silently closed the [Item Shop].

This is so discouraging! He can't afford a single thing here right now!
After calming himself down, Luo Fei opened [Host's Home].

This is more like a personal status panel, clearly displaying basic data such as his name, age, height, weight, and health status, as well as the amount of money he has and the remaining sin points. The interface is simple and intuitive.

Then, he clicked on the tree-shaped [Skill House].

The interface unfolds, revealing an extremely large and intricately branching skill tree diagram! Each skill is located on a node in the tree diagram, enclosed in a small circular box.

The skills Luo Fei has already acquired, such as [Super Fighting], [Super Strength], [Genius Eye], etc., are indicated by a bright green circle.

The small circles represent the skills he has yet to acquire.

He roughly counted them, and the lit green boxes only accounted for about one-third of the entire skill tree diagram.

This means that he still has a lot of skills to learn and unlock!

Just then, a system message flooded into his mind.

When the host fills the entire skill tree and upgrades all the skills they own to [God-level] or higher quality, they will gain an opportunity to open the "Gate of Time and Space"!

You can go anywhere you want, even... travel through time and space, to the future or back to the past!
"Time travel?! Back to the past?!"

Luo Fei's heart skipped a beat! An intense thought surged into his mind uncontrollably—if he could go back to the past, would it be possible to... save his parents who died in an accident?
How can children receive love and care from their grandparents?

This idea instantly excited him, and his blood seemed to be boiling!
But he quickly calmed down. Looking at the gray area that occupied two-thirds of the space and the massive amount of points needed to upgrade his skill to god-level, he understood that this matter could not be rushed. He had to take it step by step, accumulate strength, and slowly light up this huge skill tree.

But at least now he sees a clear hope, full of endless possibilities!

Finally, he opened the [Storage Box].

This is a very practical feature. Inside is a square extradimensional space with a length, width, and height of two meters. It can store any item whose volume does not exceed this limit, and there is no weight limit.

Whether it's a tent or sleeping bag for a picnic, or even a knife, gun, sword, stick, or a motorcycle, they can all be easily stuffed inside.

With just a thought, items can be stored or retrieved, making it extremely convenient.

What excites him even more is that this storage space can be upgraded! Each upgrade doubles the length, width, and height of the space!
This means that each upgrade will increase the capacity to eight times its original size! However, each upgrade requires 10,000 points of sin value.

"Seriously... everything costs money!"

Luo Fei sighed once again at the "capital" nature of this system, and helplessly closed the system panel.

Although he couldn't afford those cool special skills and artifacts for the time being, after learning about the new features of the 3.0 system, especially the ultimate possibilities of the "Skill Tree" and the "Time Gate," Luo Fei was filled with more expectations and motivation for the future.

He composed himself, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and headed to the orphanage that Chen Xuanran was in charge of.

When Luo Fei arrived at the orphanage, he found it much more lively than when he last visited.

The small courtyard was filled with the joyful laughter of children.

He remembered that there were only about ten children here before, but after Chen Xuanran took over the management for a few months, plus the twenty-eight children rescued from Miaowadi this time, the orphanage now has more than fifty children.

He quietly entered the courtyard and saw Chen Xuanran squatting on the ground, patiently combing a little girl's messy hair. He had a gentle and focused smile on his face, and the sunlight shone on her, as if coating her with a warm halo.

It's clear that she really enjoys her job; she's even been staying here for the past few days to accommodate the children who just returned.

Luo Fei silently walked up behind her and suddenly reached out and patted her shoulder.

"ah!"

Chen Xuanran was startled and turned around abruptly. Seeing it was Luo Fei, he breathed a sigh of relief and playfully punched him. (End of Chapter)
