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

6:17 a.m.

Lin Chen walked out of the entrance to the Skynet base.

The world outside the abandoned air-raid shelter in the north of the city is a completely different universe from the world inside.

The sky was already bright.

The first rays of sunlight on a crisp early winter morning squeezed through the gaps in the thick clouds, falling on the ground covered with weeds, on the rusty steel frame of the gantry crane, and on the dew-covered warning line.

On the open ground outside the air-raid shelter, more than 100 special police officers stood in neat square formation.

Their tactical helmets were still stained with dust and blood from the underground base, their bulletproof vests had scratches from shrapnel, and several of them had bandages on their faces.

But the moment Lin Chen stepped out of the air-raid shelter, everyone did the same thing at the same time.

stand at attention.

A hand salute.

More than a hundred right hands were raised to their eyebrows at the same time, like a silent forest in the thin mist of an early winter morning.

No one speaks.

Lin Chen stood in front of them, still wearing the same distressed leather jacket. The "Lone Wolf" disguise had long been removed, revealing his original face.

There was no bloodstain, no dust, and not even a single crease on his clothes. He didn't seem to be the same demon who had single-handedly wiped out the Prajna Elite Guard an hour earlier, venturing deep into the lion's den.

He glanced at the special police officers who were saluting him.

Then he nodded.

The voice in my mind chose this moment to ring out.

Ding.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the ultimate chain mission: Shatter the absolute order of the Inquisition!]

[Mission Rating: SSS+ (Complete Overwhelming)!]

[Settlement in progress...]

[Cash reward: 10 million RMB, already transferred to the host's designated account.]

Billion.

Ten zeros.

If it were six months ago, Lin Chen might have performed a spinning jump on the spot like an adult man.

But now, this number only made his eyelids twitch slightly.

It's not because I don't care about money anymore.

It was because the rewards that followed were what he cared about more.

[Skill Reward: God-level Biological Mastery—The host has gained profound insight into all the mysteries of genes and cells, enabling them to perceive the essence of life at the microscopic level, and master diagnosis, modification, and reversal!]

A massive, overwhelming flood of information rushed into my brain.

The arrangement of each base pair in the DNA double helix, the thermodynamic pathways of protein folding, the precise rate of telomere shortening during cell division, the docking mechanism between T cells and antigenic epitopes in the immune system…

Two hundred years of research in human biology were compressed into his instinctive knowledge in a fraction of a second.

He can now see through anyone down to the cellular level.

Cancer, genetic defects, viral infections, aging and degeneration—all the secrets related to life are like an open book in front of him.

The gene serum that Prajna spent ten years developing could probably be made into a perfect version without side effects in three days if given to him now.

Of course, he wouldn't do that kind of thing.

[All attributes +100!]

[Charm Value +300!]

A warm, comfortable vibration, like soaking in a hot spring, came from deep within my body.

At this moment, every cell completes another round of microscopic optimization.

His skin became smoother, his facial features more refined, and the color of his pupils reflected a translucent, almost amber luster in the sunlight.

The intangible quality of temperament cannot be described as merely "outstanding" in him.

Several of the special police officers who walked past him couldn't help but glance at him again before quickly looking away, as if their eyes would ache from staring at the sun for too long.

[Special Item Acquired: Memory Erasure Spray – Can erase specific memories of a target within one hour. Effective from a distance of two meters, lasts for 0.5 seconds, has no side effects, and is irresistible.]

A memory-erasing spray quietly appeared in his system inventory.

Lin Chen didn't have time to read the detailed instructions for the prop.

Because someone was running towards him.

Su Qingge.

She took off her tactical helmet, and a few strands of her shoulder-length black hair were wet with sweat and stuck to her cheeks. There was also a shallow wound on her face caused by a piece of gravel.

Those phoenix eyes turned red.

She ran out of the formation and, under the watchful eyes of all the special police officers, in the morning sunlight and mist, against the backdrop of the battlefield composed of police lines, armored vehicles, and rifles, she ran to Lin Chen.

Then she hugged him tightly.

Two arms were tightly wrapped around his waist, her face buried in his chest, and she used all her strength.

She didn't cry out loud.

But Lin Chen felt the fabric on his chest getting wet very quickly.

He raised his hand and gently placed it on the back of her head.

More than a hundred special police officers stood behind them, saluting, but the expressions on their faces became subtle.

Someone grinned and smiled, then quickly composed themselves.

Someone secretly glanced at their comrade and exchanged a knowing look.

Someone's lips moved silently a few times, their mouth shape resembling "I knew it."
