I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Luo Fei glanced at his phone; it contained several messages from Lao Wu.

"Mr. Luo, the director of the student affairs office has already investigated and found out. He is related to the boy's parents; the boy's father is his older brother. He deleted the surveillance footage not to protect the school's reputation, but to protect his nephew's future. They also found out that he had previously protected the boy on multiple occasions. This wasn't the first time the boy had bullied classmates; he had suppressed the bullying on previous occasions under the pretext of 'education first.'"

"The boy's parents have also been found to have some issues. The father's company has tax problems, and the amount is substantial. The mother owns several properties with unclear sources, which are currently under further investigation."

"The higher-ups attach great importance to this matter. The leadership has instructed that it be investigated and handled strictly and severely, and swiftly. I have already conveyed your previous instructions in full."

After reading the message, Luo Fei typed a few words: "Understood. Thanks for your hard work." Then he clicked send.

The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the pillow.

Luo Fei opened his eyes, and the system was activated in his mind.

[Today's divine choice has been triggered.]

The options then appear:

[Option A: One dose of gene-enhancing drug and the complete preparation formula. This drug can comprehensively enhance the human body at the genetic level, covering muscle strength, bone density, nerve reaction speed, and immune system function. The effect of improved physical condition after consumption is significant and can be stacked with the effects of body-refining techniques, regardless of the order of consumption—whether the drug is taken before or after training, the final effect is the same. Note: This drug is ineffective on the host.]

Option B: Fortified functional beverage formula and complete production process. This beverage can quickly restore physical and mental energy, has no side effects, and is suitable for use by manual laborers, athletes, and military personnel. It has a refreshing taste and is suitable for mass production.

Luo Fei looked at the options without hesitation.

While energy drinks are certainly useful, items like gene-enhancing drugs cannot be measured in monetary terms.

The Body Refinement Technique can already double a person's physical strength. If it is combined with gene enhancement, the effect will be multiplicative rather than simply additive.

Although the medicine was ineffective on him, it was undoubtedly an immeasurable asset for the soldiers, astronauts, and ordinary people of the Dragon Kingdom.

He chose A.

[Option A obtained: One gene enhancement drug and the complete preparation formula. The drug and formula have been stored in the host's storage ring, and the formula data has been implanted into the host's memory.]

Luo Fei took the potion out of the ring and examined it carefully in his hand.

This is a transparent glass tube, slightly thinner than a regular test tube, and just the right length to hold in the palm of your hand.

The liquid inside the tube was pale blue, very light in color, and almost transparent.

One end of the glass tube is sealed, while the other end has a rubber stopper with an aluminum sealing cap on top, much like the injections that need to be refrigerated in hospitals.

He held the liquid up to the light streaming in from the window; there were no bubbles or impurities in it, it was as clear as spring water.

He put the medicine back into his ring, intending to give it to Director Qin at a suitable time.

Research and validation of such items takes time, and clinical trials and other procedures are indispensable.

Just as I put away the medicine, my phone rang with Xiao Wan's excited voice.

"Captain, Xiao Wan has a report to you."

Luo Fei asked, "What is it?"

"During the scanning of artifacts at the museum, traces of deliberate concealment were discovered inside a gold Buddha statue. The scanner revealed that the base of the Buddha was not solid, but contained a small cavity with a roll of silk as thin as a cicada's wing hidden inside. According to the scan results, the silk was inscribed with text and accompanied by a hand-drawn map. Preliminary analysis indicates that this map and text record the location of a treasure looted by Japan from China during the war."

"I'm going there now."

Luo Fei put away his phone, quickly washed up and changed his clothes, and said to Li Xiulan, who was busy in the kitchen, "Mom, I'm skipping breakfast. I have to go out for a bit." He then nodded to Luo Weidong, who was watering the flowers in the yard.

Li Xiulan chased after him with a spatula and asked, "Where are you going?", but Luo Fei had already disappeared.

The next second, he appeared in the lobby of the Xianglong Museum. The lobby was brightly lit, and the microcrystalline stone floor reflected the soft light from above, illuminating the entire space.

Several robots were busily moving artifacts, their mechanical arms rotating quietly, emitting a soft, rhythmic hum, like a swarm of tireless bees.

Xiao Wan had placed the gold Buddha on a separate workbench.

Luo Fei stepped forward and stood beside the worktable.

The golden Buddha is not very large, about 30 centimeters tall, and is entirely golden. The Buddha's face is compassionate and serene, with slightly lowered eyes and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

The entire Buddha statue has smooth lines, and the way the clothing is treated is typical of the Tang Dynasty style. Unlike the complicated and gorgeous style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is simple and powerful, exuding the plumpness and confidence unique to the Tang Dynasty.

The base is square and upright, with an extremely thin seam connecting it to the Buddha's body. It is difficult to notice without careful observation. Once you do notice it, you will know that it is not the mold line from the casting process, but an opening that was deliberately hidden by human hands.

Luo Fei bent down and carefully examined the seam.

Xiao Wan's voice rang in my ears, continuing to report the analysis results: "There is a roll of silk inside the cavity. The material is kesi, produced in ancient China. It is extremely thin and dense, and not easily decayed. According to the test, this roll of map has been sealed inside the golden Buddha for at least seventy years after it was written on."

Luo Fei reached out and gently grasped the base of the golden Buddha.

He gently turned it clockwise, but the base didn't move; then he tried turning it counterclockwise, and the base moved.

He applied a little more force, and the base began to rotate. With a slight friction sound, the base was unscrewed.

He placed it on a cushion, revealing a circular groove at the bottom of the golden Buddha, in which was stuffed a roll of dark brown stuff.

He carefully used tweezers to remove the rolled-up item, his movements gentle and slow, as if afraid that the slightest force would tear the silk that had been stored for decades. The silk was folded very neatly, and the creases were already set.

He spread a soft cloth on the worktable, placed the silk on it, and gently lifted the first fold with the tip of tweezers.

The silk made a slight crackling sound, but it did not break.

He unfolded it little by little, from the size of a palm to the size of two palms, and finally spread it out to about two feet square.

The silk was covered with characters for "Japanese chicken".

The map was hand-drawn, marked with mountains, rivers, coastlines, and several coordinates and numbers.

Luo Fei is fluent in languages, and Japanese is not an obstacle for him.

He leaned closer to examine the marked text, his gaze sweeping from the first line to the last. When he saw the last word, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This was written by a Japanese military officer.

During the later stages of the war, he was responsible for transporting a batch of gold and cultural relics looted from the Dragon Kingdom to an island in the southeast for safekeeping.

This treasure is vast, containing many national treasures. It is hidden inside a natural cave on an island, with the entrance below sea level, accessible only through a secret underwater passage.

The person who wrote this letter originally planned to bring his people to retrieve the treasure after the war, but unexpectedly he was transferred to another battlefield. Before he could tell his people the secret inside the golden Buddha, he died on a small island under the gunfire of the United States.

The golden Buddha was taken back to Japan by its surviving clansmen and kept in the family's collection room until Luo Fei took it back.

Luo Fei laid the silk fabric flat on the worktable, gently pressed the four corners down with a soft cloth, and took out his phone.

"Xiao Wan, check this location."

Xiao Wan's voice came through the phone, speaking quickly, seemingly while searching for data: "Received. The target location is an uninhabited coral island in the Philippines."

The island covers an area of ​​about 30 square kilometers, and its highest point is about 400 meters above sea level.

According to the map, the entrance to the cave is about 50 meters below sea level, and normally diving equipment is required to enter.

The passageway inside the cave is a huge, naturally formed karst cave that leads all the way to the core of the island's mountain; the treasure should be hidden there.

Luo Fei rolled up the silk and put it into his ring.

He then glanced at the golden Buddha and put it in as well—the artifact itself was of extremely high value, and the treasure map inside was merely an added bonus.

With a thought, he was standing in the spaceship's cockpit the next second.

Outside the window is a view of the valley, with sunlight filtering through the treetops and casting dappled shadows on the ground.

He withdrew his gaze and said to the air, "Xiao Wan, proceed to the target location."

Xiao Wan replied: "Received. Destination locked."

The valley view outside the window vanished instantly, replaced by an endless blue ocean.

Below, a small island appeared, lush and green, surrounded by a ring of white sand, like a turquoise ring set on a sapphire.

In the center of the island is a low hill covered with lush tropical vegetation, which looks like a green hat placed on the island from a distance.

Luo Fei instructed Xiao Wan to hover the spaceship over the island, and then opened the hatch.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty, fishy smell, swept in. The temperature was much higher than in China, and a heat wave hit us. The air was filled with the humid heat characteristic of the tropics, as if we were taking a deep breath in a sauna.

He walked to the hatch, preparing to jump, when Xiao Wan's voice came through the phone: "Captain, the opening is fifty meters below sea level. You'll need to dive after you go down. The spaceship has specialized diving suits stored in the equipment room. Would you like me to retrieve one for you?"

Luo Fei said "No need" and jumped down from the cabin door.
