Chapter 28 Interrogation of the Craftsmen
In the interrogation room.

Faced with Cole's interrogation, the thug remained expressionless and silent.

Seeing this, Cole didn't hesitate and immediately picked up a pair of pliers from the table behind him.

He then pinned the thief's fingers to the jaws of the clamp and asked again, "Are you sure you won't talk?"

The bandits remained silent.

Cole sighed, then grinned and began to exert force with his hands.

"Ahhh!!"

The interrogation room was immediately filled with piercing screams.

Meanwhile, Li Ang, who was behind the one-way glass, couldn't help but mutter a complaint to himself after seeing everything that was happening in the interrogation room.

'What gecko?'

'If you asked again, "What if it's 1000-7?" it would seem even more likely.'

Recalling Cole's usual somewhat shy demeanor, and combined with the incredibly bloody scene before him, Li Ang could only say that appearances can be deceiving.

In the interrogation room.

Cole placed the bloody pliers in front of the thug, then pulled up a chair behind him and sat down: "Can we talk now?"

"If you still don't want to talk."

"It's alright, anyway, you still have sixteen things I can use to make a move."

The bandit, who had already lost five fingers, was deathly pale and covered in cold sweat.

Upon hearing Cole's words, he was taken aback at first, but then he quickly understood why there were sixteen.

Fear gripped the bandit's heart, and he stammered, "Tell me, tell me!"

"I'll tell you whatever you want to know."

Seeing this, Cole couldn't help but shake his head: "Why are you pretending to be tough? You've lost five fingers for nothing. You should have just cooperated earlier."

"Tell me everything you know."

Upon hearing this, the bandit began to stammer, "Our boss is called Razor."

“Last March, he sent someone to find me, or rather, to find those of us who were short of money.”

At this point, he gave an awkward smile, and seeing that Cole didn't react, he continued, "The boss gave us too much, so we agreed to work for him."

“That place is actually our warehouse, but Razor asked us to clean up the traces because of the bugs from a few days ago.”

Cole listened to everything in silence, then stood up, picked up the pliers, and walked back to the bandit.

Seeing his movements, the bandit trembled like a leaf, stammering, "No, no, no, no!"

"Everything I said is true! That's all I know!"

Then, as if he had just remembered something, he said as if grasping at a straw, "That's right! Those fire crystals were all transported in from outside the city! I really don't know anything else!"

Upon hearing this, Cole stopped what he was doing, then pushed open the door and went into the observation room.

"Captain, he must be telling the truth."

When Danica heard the bandits say that the fire crystals were all transported in from outside the city, she pinched her brow in exasperation.

Li Ang, who was standing to the side, also realized the seriousness of the situation.

According to the information revealed by the bandits, if the goods were indeed smuggled in from outside the city, it can only mean that someone in the city was colluding with these smugglers; otherwise, how could they have slipped through security and entered the city?

More importantly, this person's rank is probably not low.

What Li Ang could understand, Danica could naturally understand as well.

She sighed and said to Cole, "Go ask him again how that razor got into the city. I'll go tell the chief first."

Seeing this, Li Ang did not ask Danica why she did not suspect Marcus was the mastermind.

After all, it was Marcus who sent them to investigate the smuggling; it couldn't have been a staged event.

Moreover, even if it is Marcus, he doesn't really have much of a relationship with Leon. In the end, he is just a minor unofficial citizen, and smuggling doesn't harm his interests.

Besides, today was only his first day as an unregistered citizen. Not long after, Danica returned looking relaxed: "The director said we don't need to worry about the rest for now."

Li Ang was taken aback upon hearing this. Could it be that Marcus was really the mastermind behind it all?
Immediately afterward, an idea popped into his mind.

'Wouldn't he just resort to dirty tricks to silence me?'

However, after seeing Danica's expression, Li Ang realized that he was probably overthinking it.

"Cole, lock him up. We'll send him over once the repairs at the prison are finished," Danica said into the interrogation room through the loudspeaker.

Upon hearing her voice, Cole looked up and nodded toward the camera.

After dealing with the bandits, Danica announced that she could leave work early today.

Li Ang naturally had no objection to this; he had long wanted to return to his dormitory to look up information about the [Craftsmen].

As soon as he returned to his dormitory, he touched his bracelet to bring up the operation interface, and then entered the word "craftsman" in the search bar.

Li Ang didn't think he was searching for anything sensitive. After all, Danica had just discussed the topic with him today, and it was perfectly normal for him to search out of curiosity.

Soon, a dense stream of information appeared.

"so much?"

The sheer volume of information exceeded Li Ang's expectations, which allowed him to quickly understand what the so-called "craftsman" was.

The term "craftsman" does not refer to a specific profession, but rather to a collective term for many professions.

However, these professions are collectively referred to as "craftsmen" because they all originated from craftsmen.

The most prominent characteristic of these professions is their creativity.

If Li Ang were skilled in the Divine Craftsmanship Technique, he might be able to cosplay as a "Craftsman".

"No wonder Danica said that the Federation treats [Craftsmen] the best among their peers."

"But why is it that none of the information out of all this mentions the requirements for changing jobs?"

Li Ang didn't think it was because no one else could see the job change conditions. As long as the base number was large enough, it would eventually be possible to figure it out.

If that's the case, then there's only one possibility.

The federal government has very strict control over this type of information.

Any profession for which detailed information can be found is one that doesn't improve your strength, like a cleaner whose special bonus is increased cleaning speed.
These ordinary professions do not offer any attribute bonuses.

However, he did gain something; at least he had a direction to work towards.

With a sigh, Li Ang searched for information about the Universal Enterprise Alliance and the Federation.

The number of entries that popped up far exceeded the number of entries related to "Craftsman".

In short, the Global Enterprise Alliance is a huge collective entity similar to a country, except that it is composed of a series of large enterprises.

As for the Federation
Anyway, the entry says that the Starshine Federation is a friendly, kind and inclusive country, and Li Ang, as an unofficial citizen, will not make a judgment on this.

Besides the Starshine Federation and the Universal Enterprise Alliance, Li Ang discovered a third powerful force in interstellar space.

Dawn Empire.

However, for some reason, there is very little information about the empire online.

Therefore, Li Ang guessed that the relationship between the Federation and the Empire was probably not good, but this was still far from his current status as a first-level being.

"The world isn't peaceful either."

Leaving aside the friction between interstellar forces, there is a huge swarm of Zerg on Colony Star 9527, where Li Ang is currently located.

He could only try his best to improve his strength if he wanted to survive.

With this in mind, Li Ang calmed himself down and began his studies for the day.

Thanks to Daowen Cangsheng and Book Friend 20181231223705564 for pointing out the error. In Refining Essence into Qi, "essence" does indeed refer to the physical body. Therefore, the current special effect is corrected to "Refining Essence into Qi: Your physical strength attribute will be converted into energy attribute at a 1:1 ratio".
