The following day, the sun shone brightly, an auspicious day for killing animals.

Lu Hao got up early and glanced at his panel.

[Kill Point Allocation]

[Host: Lu Hao]

[Qi and Blood: 278/278 calories]

[Mental Strength: 299/299 Hz+]

Storage space: 10 cubic meters

Kill Points: 54

Over the past half month, Lu Hao has been slowly tempering his bones, refining a total of nine bones. Including the previous ones, Lu Hao has now tempered 37 bones.

This means that Lu Hao has officially reached the middle stage of the first rank, but his actual combat strength has reached the high stage of the second rank. Even in a life-or-death battle, he is confident that he can deal with the low stage of the second rank.

Today, Lu Hao did not go to the dueling arena by himself, but went directly to the Detective Bureau with his mother to officially receive the mission. As for Viper, he went to the Detective Bureau to meet him.

The standards remain unchanged during the mission; as long as Lu Hao's life is not in danger, he will not intervene. With his Viper Rank 4 strength, protecting Lu Hao is still quite simple.

"Mom, let's go, I can't wait any longer."

Lu Hao urged his mother on, after all, he hadn't earned any kill points for half a month.

"What's the rush? People who don't know better will think you're going on a mission to kill someone, not get married."

Bai Qiuyao said that in her opinion, was it necessary to be in such a hurry? It wasn't a good thing.

Without saying anything more, Bai Qiuyao quickly finished packing and got into the car with Lu Hao.

Once in the car, Bai Qiuyao tossed a small notebook to Lu Hao.

Lu Hao picked it up and saw that it was Lu Hao's martial arts certificate.

"Mom, what do we need a martial arts certificate for?"

"The martial artist's certificate is very important. You are not allowed to carry controlled weapons without it. It's like a martial artist's all-in-one card."

"In our Detective Agency, you need to use Martial Artist Certificates to accept missions. The rewards, including money, credits, and even merit points, are all distributed based on Martial Artist Certificates. You can also directly use Martial Artist Certificates to make purchases."

"Therefore, the martial arts certificate is very important. If you lose it, the process of replacing it is very troublesome. And if you meet a martial artist outside and find that he does not have a martial arts certificate, he is very likely to be a member of a cult or a criminal martial artist."

Upon hearing Bai Qiuyao's words, Lu Hao pretended to put it in his pocket, but instead threw it directly into his storage space, so that he wouldn't lose it.

Lu Hao's storage space is currently filled with various odds and ends, as well as some supplies, such as dry food and water. This was prepared in advance by Lu Hao, which will make things much more convenient when he goes to the underground cave.

As for the large ring-handled sword in Lu Hao's hand, Lu Hao did want to put it in his storage space, but he would definitely need to use it to carry out the mission. Anyone would be suspicious if a large ring-handled sword suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

So he had no choice but to carry it in his hand. Luckily, it was sheathed, otherwise Lu Hao wouldn't have dared to take it out directly, for fear of scaring ordinary people.

A short while later, the car stopped. Bai Qiuyao dropped Lu Hao off at the door, then went to park the car and entered the Detective Bureau.

As for Lu Hao, he went in on his own. He didn't want others to know that he was the son of the director of the Detective Bureau, otherwise, who knows what kind of situation he might encounter.

The Beiding Criminal Investigation Division is magnificent and imposing!

This is a modular building, with the main building having more than twenty floors!

Lu Hao had been here before, when he came to visit his mother.

As soon as Lu Hao walked in, he saw Viper already waiting in the rest area, which made Lu Hao breathe a sigh of relief. With Viper, this old fox, around, things would be much easier for him.

"Uncle Wang, where do I pick up the mission?"

Lu Hao waved his hand, and saw Viper notice him and walk over.

"Let's go, Xiao Lu, I'm more familiar with this place."

Led by Viper, Lu Hao arrived at a machine, selected a mid-level first-grade mission, and after swiping his martial artist certificate, the mission was accepted.

Arriving outside the Detective Bureau, Lu Hao carefully reviewed the mission details.

Name: Lu Bo

Sex: Male

Age: 34 years old

Strength: Mid-level of Rank 1, Bone Tempering 31-35 pieces, no firearms, may carry melee weapons, trained in basic fist and foot fighting techniques, no special combat skills.

Case: On March 30, 2008, after getting into a fight and causing someone's death, he fled. During this time, he also attacked ordinary people, resulting in the deaths of one low-level first-rank martial artist and five ordinary people.

The case has been assigned to the Beiding District Criminal Investigation Division of the Shanghai Police Department. Those who accept the assignment can contact the Beiding District Division for more information…

Reward: 20 RMB in cash

"Oh, I didn't expect my first task to be with my own family. Looks like I'm being asked to clean house. And the reward seems pretty good too, 20. If I remember correctly, that's about the price for a second-grade martial artist to win a regular season match."

Lu Hao said to Viper with a smile.

"That's incomparable. The main revenue of the dueling arena comes from betting and gambling; those are the more profitable things."

"That's what the viper said from the side."

"That's true. Let's go, Uncle Wang, to the suburbs to see what's going on."

Viper nodded, then drove Lu Hao towards the suburbs.

When Lu Hao accepted the mission, he had already inquired about the situation. The latest news was that someone had seen him near an unfinished building in the suburbs the day before yesterday, so there was a high probability that Lu Bo was hiding in that unfinished building.

Before long, the car arrived at the unfinished building complex in the suburbs, and Lu Hao got out and walked inside.

As for Viper, he kept watch from the outside. If anything seemed amiss, he could get inside in less than four or five seconds.

Lu Hao looked around at these unfinished buildings. He didn't expect that there would be such a place in Shanghai. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. He guessed that the developer's funds had run out, which led to the abandonment of this place.

Since this place is remote and deserted, Lu Hao decided to be bold and make a move to alert Lu Bo. Even if Lu Bo escaped, he wouldn't cause much damage. Otherwise, how long would it take to investigate on his own?

Lu Hao kicked a piece of scrap metal.

Crackling, popping.

A loud noise immediately spread out, so unless Lu Bo was deaf, he would know that someone had entered, and he would definitely want to find out who it was.

After kicking, Lu Hao stopped moving and listened carefully to see if any sounds came from the surrounding buildings.

He actually heard the sound of the bottle falling over.

Lu Hao immediately rushed towards the direction from which the sound came. A few seconds later, Lu Hao saw a middle-aged man standing in front of him. Lu Hao instantly recognized who it was – his target, Lu Bo.

However, Lu Bo noticed someone coming to grab him but didn't run away. Could he have some trump card up his sleeve? Lu Hao looked at Lu Bo with some wariness.

"So you're here to arrest me, the martial artist? Is the Detective Bureau out of manpower? Sending a kid like you. Looks like you've reached the mid-stage of the first rank, you're quite the genius..."

Before Lu Hao could finish speaking, he kicked out. This kick was fueled by concentrated blood and qi, and combined with his explosive power, even if Lu Bo had some backup plan, he probably couldn't stop it.

As a result, Lu Hao just watched helplessly as his opponent used both arms to block the attack?

In an instant, Lu Bo's arms were pierced, and a large hole was left in his chest, from which blood was gushing out.

Lu Bo collapsed to the ground.

He died already??
