Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

But why does it show that she has met the criteria for advancement?

During halftime, Old Chen handed the two men over to Zhang Chaoqiang as a mess.

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, still puzzled, couldn't fully understand what had happened even after Zhang Chaoqiang tried to explain once or twice.

So he also gave up on the idea of ​​tanking.

Time flew by, and it was time for the second round of the competition in the afternoon. Most of the mid-level players no longer held back and used all their skills.

They couldn't be sure if they could advance, so they had no choice. Therefore, Tan Yue was eliminated in this round without any suspense.

Zhang Chaoqiang advanced smoothly, which was not difficult for him. He will directly enter tomorrow's, the second day of the competition.

Although Tan Yue ultimately finished in the top 61, she was very satisfied. After her match ended that afternoon, the group celebrated with a fairly substantial dinner.

Even in the evening, Zhang Chaoqiang didn't seem to have any free time. Two old acquaintances, upon learning that he had come to Zhongzhou City again, came to say hello and also brought him some news.

Chapter 229 As the largest research center in the country, its regulatory system is just too lax.

"I didn't expect you to be so accomplished in this area..."

That evening, after dinner, while Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were taking a walk, Old Chen and Manager Liu assumed that the two wouldn't easily cause any trouble...

They also went on a romantic getaway for two.

Unexpectedly, Tan Yue and Zhang Chaoqiang, who had failed to meet, were approached by their old acquaintances Huang Feng and Bai Lu.

When Bai Lu and Huang Feng saw Zhang Chaoqiang, they were also surprised and then said those words to him.

To be honest, the two of them only received the news today that Zhang Chaoqiang would also be participating in the first Synthesis Competition of the Central Country.

As someone who would later join their group—his future colleague and brother—Zhang Chaoqiang had nothing to deal with at the moment.

So he came here to look for Zhang Chaoqiang and, incidentally, to visit this so-called Zhongzhou City Science and Technology Museum.

To be honest, Zhang Chaoqiang was initially surprised when he saw the two of them, because the institute director, Lei She, had already mentioned it.

During the artificial crystal nucleus synthesis competition, the entire Zhongzhou Science and Technology Museum is closed to outsiders.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. As a central government department, how could the Investigation Bureau not even have the small power to enter a so-called science and technology museum?

But what Huang Feng and Bai Lu said casually to Zhang Chaoqiang next made his jaw drop.

Fatty scratched his thigh and looked around, saying, "This place is quite secure. When we came in just now, there were a lot of security personnel and systems preventing outsiders from entering."

Fortunately, we were quick enough to avoid the surveillance equipment and personnel…

what?

Zhang Chaoqiang wondered why they had sneaked in. He knew that to ensure the smooth running of the first and crucial Artificial Crystal Core Synthesis Competition in Zhongzhou City…

The organizers do not want either the athletes or their families to be disturbed or disrupted by anything outside of the competition.

That's why the rules are so strict, but the fact that they sneaked in is a bit unbelievable...

Huang Feng: "There are too many things that need to be reported when we come in. The Investigation Bureau has always only targeted alien beasts and has never been involved in matters concerning martial artists. Therefore, we try to appear in the public eye as little as possible."

Anyway, Zhang Chaoqiang, I'm here today to bring you a gift!

"Let's go back to the Investigation Bureau. Our investigators have all completed their fieldwork, so for the past two months they've been attempting to absorb the incomplete spirits of the alien beasts..."

"This is perfect for you to see, so you can gain a deeper understanding of our Bureau of Investigation's various procedures!"

After explaining her purpose, Tan Yue did not follow Zhang Chaoqiang, Huang Feng, and Bai Lu.

Because she still wanted to achieve a good result in the synthesis competition, she wanted to prepare for the next competition in advance while others were still training.

The second assessment competition of the synthesis competition focused on efficiency, which emphasizes speed, ruthlessness, and accuracy. This is something Zhang Chaoqiang has been emphasizing to Tan Yue, and it is also the most crucial point in synthesizing artificial crystal cores.

"Fast" refers to the speed; every step and every stage in synthesizing artificial crystal nuclei must be fast.

Ruthless refers to ruthlessness towards the pure spiritual energy within the demon beast's crystal core!

Because during the purification of spiritual energy, impure spiritual energy containing various elements sometimes adheres to it. If you are not decisive and ruthless, you cannot separate the pure spiritual energy in the fastest way!

Furthermore, in the third stage of synthesis, one must face the tidal backlash of the crystal core's spiritual energy. If one cannot be ruthless enough to quickly pass through these stages...

If we hesitate, we may not be able to successfully shrink the entire third-stage world.

Fear of tidal backlash, coupled with a lack of decisiveness, can also directly lead to a sharp decline in one's grades.

The final "accuracy" refers to the ability to accurately grasp the key points of each stage, ensuring that every process is accurate and error-free while maintaining speed and efficiency.

Of course, Zhang Chaoqiang believed that the word "accurate" should be applied to the second stage, and he emphasized this to Tan Yue.

In today's first competition, she was able to "slowly and carefully" bring out the full potential of her abilities.

However, things might change next, because in the next two projects, efficiency will depend on speed, which is contrary to the fact that Tan Yue was the last one to come out of the synthesis space today.

This means that she must step out of her comfort zone and improve her attention to detail; otherwise, her progress will eventually stagnate.

Finally, the quality of the artificial crystal nucleus synthesized by the contestants will be assessed. This represents a contestant's highest level of skill, and their true abilities will ultimately be revealed in this competition.

Unlike Zhang Chaoqiang, Tan Yue was not confident of victory and therefore fearless.

She still needs to keep working hard!

Since it was evening, Zhang Chaoqiang told Tan Yue not to go to the synthesis building for synthesis training. He then handed Tan Yue a synthesis table with a small space attached to it from his spatial ring.

Let her go back to her hotel room to practice.

Then, after watching Tan Yue leave and saying goodbye, Zhang Chaoqiang, who had already finished dinner, sent a message to his parents and Lao Chen at six o'clock in the evening.

After making sure that the other party was aware of and had replied to him, Zhang Chaoqiang left with Huang Feng and Bai Lu.

"Wait a minute..."

Suddenly, Zhang Chaoqiang seemed to realize something very important…

The thing is, Bai Lu and Huang Feng sneaked in before, which means that if they want to get out now, they'll have to sneak out too...

Most importantly, contestants are not allowed to leave the synthesis competition area, which is the Zhongzhou Science and Technology Museum area, without permission.

Therefore, if Zhang Chaoqiang wanted to go out, he would have to sneak out...

Therefore, Zhang Chaoqiang made a suggestion to Huang Feng and Bai Lu.

"Or maybe we should wait until after the synthesis competition is over before we talk about it."

However, Huang Feng and Bai Lu clearly believed that by the time the competition officially ended nine days later, some investigators in their Beast Investigation Bureau would likely be studying the important process of absorbing the spirits of the beasts.

It's all over now.

Therefore, these two days are an important time to go to the Bureau of Exotic Beast Investigation and let Zhang Chaoqiang better understand the Bureau's operating rules.

In addition, because they were celebrating Zhang Chaoqiang becoming a member of their investigation bureau in advance, the gifts they prepared for him also needed to be used as soon as possible.

Those are rare spiritual plants that can directly enhance a martial artist's body and improve their cultivation...

Therefore, Huang Feng, the tallest of the group, took the initiative to pat Zhang Chaoqiang on the shoulder.

He said, "It's not a big problem. With your current strength, you're practically guaranteed to win the match. We've also heard about the ability and style you displayed in today's match."

The reason why contestants are not allowed to leave the competition area is simply because the organizers want them to focus on preparing for the competition. As for you, Zhang Chaoqiang, in our view, that's absolutely unnecessary.

Besides, after explaining why they needed to hurry to the Investigation Bureau, Zhang Chaoqiang thought about it carefully…

We decided to go with them today to resolve this matter so we wouldn't have to consider it later.

Inside the Zhongzhou Science and Technology Museum, where the entire area is under surveillance.

The security personnel in charge did not make Huang Feng and Bai Lu feel any obstacles whatsoever.

Among the security personnel were several fifth-level martial artists, who were equipped with the latest surveillance equipment developed by Zhongzhou City.

Under the guidance of Huang Feng and Bai Lu, they successfully bypassed these conspicuous places, achieving a level of stealth that went unnoticed.

The graceful movements of the two men truly moved them.

Throughout the journey, Zhang Chaoqiang felt that everything was going smoothly.

He bypassed the monitoring system without much difficulty and successfully left the Zhongzhou Science and Technology Museum, which he had originally thought was heavily guarded, as it was also the competition area for the synthetic competition.

Isn't this going a little too smoothly?

Unlike Huang Feng and Bai Lu's confidence, Zhang Chaoqiang had some doubts.

After Zhang Chaoqiang boarded the armored vehicle used by investigators, Bai Lu and Huang Feng whistled into the night wind the whole way.

"The monitoring system of the Zhongzhou Science and Technology Museum is far too disappointing."

I had assumed that since technology could reach this level, the surveillance system should be able to achieve comprehensive coverage.

Who would have thought that the three of us could escape so easily, like cicadas shedding their shells? It was utterly boring.

During this time, as they sped along the road toward the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau, they were inside the central science building of the Nakaichi Science and Technology Museum.

The surveillance footage, which almost covers the entire building, shows scenes from the entire exhibition area.

Every flower, every blade of grass, every tree, and every insect is reflected in the picture.

Among the approximately one hundred or so virtual barriers, the figures of three people are clearly visible…

The three people in the picture are Huang Feng and Bai Lu, who just joked about the poor performance of the science and technology museum's monitoring system.

Of course, there was also Zhang Chaoqiang, a contestant who left with them.

Surrounded by these images is none other than Lei She, the host of this compositing competition.

The inspectors nearby had no idea who the two people who took Zhang Chaoqiang away in the footage were.

However, when they discovered Huang Feng and Bai Lu had sneaked into the Zhongzhou Science and Technology Museum through the 360-degree surveillance footage that had already been deployed throughout the entire area, Lei She, the director of the research institute…

They were stopped from turning on the alarm.

Lei She didn't explain to them, but instead shook his head and chuckled, "I didn't expect Zhang Chaoqiang to have so many connections and relationships with a senior investigator from the Beast Investigation Bureau..."

After learning of their arrival, Resher had already used his connections to identify them.

Although the investigators' identities are not widely known to the public, they are still well-known figures in the martial arts community of Zhongzhou City.

It was not complicated to learn their identities.

They wouldn't visit unless they had a reason; the Synthesis Competition had absolutely nothing to do with their Investigation Bureau.

Therefore, Lei She wanted to know why Huang Feng and Bai Lu had come.
