You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Two minutes and forty seconds.

This is the remaining time Lin Chen calculated for himself.

He squatted beside the gift box, his left hand slightly spread, hovering above the box, maintaining absolute stability.

He held the coin in his right hand.

A regular one-yuan note, made of nickel-plated steel alloy, 25 mm in diameter and 1.85 mm thick.

This thing is used to push shopping carts in supermarkets.

But Lin Chen needs to turn it into a scalpel.

To be precise, it is a pair of miniature tweezers with an insulating coating and a tip precision of 0.1 millimeters.

Use a coin.

Within two and a half minutes.

[God-level Microscopic Sculpture Technique], Full Power Start.

[God-level magic hand speed], full power start.

Lin Chen pinched the edge of the coin between his right thumb and forefinger and started moving it.

There are no tools.

No tools are needed.

After his physical enhancement, the edge of his fingernail had become harder than ordinary steel.

The Micro-Sculpting Technique grants him nanometer-level precision control, allowing him to apply force with accuracy down to the micrometer level.

"laugh--"

The subtle sounds of metal being crushed and peeled away.

The edges of the coin began to deform.

Lin Chen's finger movements were so fast that Su Qingge couldn't see them at all.

She could only see a blurry afterimage, and metal shards flying out from between his fingers like a miniature meteor shower.

three seconds.

The outer edge of the round coin was peeled off, exposing the inner steel core.

Five seconds.

The steel core was precisely divided into two symmetrical, slender strips connected by a tiny hinge point, thus revealing the basic shape of the tweezers.

Seven seconds.

Lin Chen ran his thumb along the tip of the tweezers, grinding it to a 0.1-millimeter conical tip—a precision that ordinary precision lathes cannot achieve.

Nine seconds.

He took out a piece of transparent tape used for IV drips from his pocket, an emergency supplies he habitually carried. He tore off a small strip and wrapped it around the end of the tweezers.

Insulating coating complete!

Ten seconds exactly.

Lin Chen opened his palm.

In my palm lay a pair of tiny tweezers, only three centimeters long, so finely crafted that they gleamed with a cold, sharp metallic luster under the light.

Su Qingge's eyes widened.

She glanced at the scattered metal fragments on the ground, then at the impossible creation in Lin Chen's hand.

Ten seconds ago, it was a one-yuan coin.

Li Mingyu opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

The two auxiliary police officers behind him were completely dumbfounded.

But no one had time to process this image.

Because there are only two minutes and thirty seconds left.

"Everyone, step back fifty meters."

Lin Chen's voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Lin Chen! Let me stay..."

"Step back."

He didn't turn around.

Su Qingge gritted her teeth and pulled Li Mingyu and the two auxiliary police officers back to the street corner.

Her hand rested on the holster, her knuckles turning white.

The elderly men playing chess on the street were also dispersed by the auxiliary police.

Within a radius of fifty meters, only Lin Chen remained.

He looked at the quiet gift box in front of him.

Inside the box, the tube of hydrochloric acid was faithfully carrying out its mission, devouring the copper wire at a speed of 0.002 millimeters per second.

Two minutes and fifteen seconds.

Lin Chen took a deep breath.

Gently place your left index and middle fingers against the seam on the side of the gift box.

[God-level Hearing] Amplifies all internal sounds a thousand times.

He could hear the frequency of the mercury sloshing around in the U-shaped tube.

I could hear the background noise of the photodiode's standby current.

I heard the extremely faint sound of bubbles from the chemical reaction as the acid corroded the copper wire.

Also, there was the "squeaking" sound of the hairspring getting thinner and thinner in the acid.

Like a musical string, slowly being twisted and broken.

One minute and fifty seconds.

Lin Chen held the tweezers in his right hand and slowly inserted the tip of the tweezers into a gap at the bottom of the box.

The gap is only 1.2 millimeters wide.

The tip of the tweezers is 0.1 mm.

by.

The tweezers moved forward inside the dark box.

Lin Chen closed his eyes.

He doesn't need eyes.

[God-level Mechanical Mastery] has already constructed a complete three-dimensional model of the internal structure in his mind.

The position of every wire and the coordinates of every trigger are accurate to 0.01 millimeters.

The tweezers were placed around the first wire above the mercury balance switch, with a gap of 0.3 mm.

It passed through the edge of the photodiode's sensing area without touching it.

One minute and twenty seconds.

The tip of the tweezers touched the outer wall of the glass tube containing hydrochloric acid.

A cool touch.

Lin Chen's finger moved forward.

The tweezers slid along the surface of the glass tube, around the opening, and extended below the liquid surface.

Hydrochloric acid is an electrical conductor.

However, the ends of the tweezers were wrapped with insulating tape.

It will not trigger the circuit.

Forty-five seconds.

Tweezers explore in the acid solution.

Lin Chen felt an extremely faint tactile feedback at his fingertips; the tip of the tweezers touched the copper wire.

His fingers paused for a fraction of a second.

The remaining diameter of the hairspring is only 0.08 millimeters.

If it corrodes for another fifteen seconds, it will break off naturally.

Thirty seconds.

Lin Chen opened the jaws of the tweezers.

A 0.08 mm copper wire is held by a 0.1 mm tweezer tip.

The precision of this operation is equivalent to catching a single hair with chopsticks from 30 meters away.

It's stuck.

But you can't pull it directly.

The other end of the copper wire is connected to the spring lock of the firing pin.

Breaking a copper wire by pulling it apart or corroding it with acid will both release the firing pin.

What he needed to do was remove the entire copper wire, along with the spring lock, from the firing pin.

Twenty seconds.

Lin Chen's wrist rotated fifteen degrees at an incredible angle.

The tweezers, carrying the copper wire, apply force along the groove of the spring lock.

The force is accurate to 0.03 Newtons.

Even a fraction too much, and the copper wire will break.

If it's even a fraction less, the card slot won't come loose.

Fifteen seconds.

"Click."

An extremely faint metallic knocking sound.

The spring lock has loosened.

The copper ribbon, secured with a spring lock, was completely removed from the firing pin by Lin Chen's tweezers.

The firing pin has lost its release mechanism.

The third layer of booby traps has been dispelled.

It took ten seconds.

Lin Chen did not stop.

The tweezers precisely cut the wires at both ends of the mercury switch inside the gift box, thus disabling the first layer of protection.

Then, the sensor window of the photodiode was wrapped with insulating tape, thus removing the second layer of protection.

three seconds.

Lin Chen withdrew the tweezers.

"drop."

The sound of the countdown reaching zero.

But nothing happened.

Because all detonation mechanisms have failed.

Lin Chen stood up.

Fifty meters away at the street corner, Su Qingge peeked out and saw Lin Chen stand up. Only then did her heart return to its place.

"It's off."

Lin Chen's voice came over, as calmly as if he were saying, "The food is ready."

Su Qingge's eyes instantly reddened.

She ran over quickly and stopped three steps away from Lin Chen.

I really want to hug him.

But there were other people around.

She simply pursed her lips tightly, swallowing back all the lingering fear and heartache.

Li Mingyu's reaction was much more down-to-earth.

His legs finally gave way, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, gasping for breath.

His expression swirled between relief at surviving the ordeal and humiliation at being kicked away by Lin Chen, but in the end he was relieved to have won.

After all, you only have one life, but you can live without caring about your reputation.

Lin Chen threw the gift box with the detonation mechanism removed in front of Li Mingyu.

"Take this to write a report."

He glanced at Li Mingyu's face, which was whiter than paper, and added a comment.

"Remember to clearly state in the report who almost tried to grab the bomb with their claws."

Li Mingyu's lips trembled, but he didn't dare to utter a single word of rebuttal.
