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

The morning sunlight streamed into the courtyard house through the carved windows.

A rich aroma of medicinal cuisine wafted from the kitchen. Lin Chen got up early and immediately activated his [God-Level Culinary Skills] and [God-Level Traditional Chinese Medicine] skills, perfectly blending several highly nourishing medicinal herbs into the preserved egg and lean pork congee.

Last night's charity gala was quite a shock, and although the women didn't say anything, they were extremely exhausted. This pot of medicinal porridge will be just what they need to replenish their energy.

After keeping the breakfast warm in the pot, Lin Chen didn't wake the four women who were still fast asleep. He took his car keys and went out alone.

He has important business to attend to today.

The "God-Level Acoustic Shielding Blueprint" that the system rewarded him with last night was imprinted in his mind. This thing could immunize against all mental interference from infrasound and ultrasound. Since the system gave him this blueprint, it meant that the next enemy was very likely to use such underhanded tactics, so making the equipment in advance was the only way to go.

Half an hour later, the Phaeton stopped outside Huaqiang Electronics, the largest scrap metal market in Beijing.

This is the most concentrated and chaotic place for electronic components in the entire capital. Everywhere you look, there are discarded motherboards and wires packed in colorful woven bags, and the air is filled with the smell of rosin and burnt cheap plastic.

Lin Chen was tall and had long legs. He was dressed in a black casual outfit, and his broad shoulders and strong muscles made the clothes look very imposing. As he walked into the crowded market, the vendors around him unconsciously made way for him.

[Divine insight activated!]

[Crime Radar activated!]

Instantly, streams of data appeared in Lin Chen's field of vision. Those stalls trying to fool people with refurbished or counterfeit goods were exposed to him and filtered out directly.

What he needed was a special rare metal coil, which was impossible to buy on the market and could only be obtained by trying his luck at this kind of junk market.

As he walked deeper into the market, Lin Chen stopped in an inconspicuous corner.

There was an old man there selling used audio equipment; his stall was piled high with dusty scrap metal.

Meanwhile, several thugs with dyed yellow hair and wearing tight-fitting men's suits were cursing and swearing around the old man's stall.

"Old man, are you fucking broke?" The blond-haired leader kicked over a plastic basket in front of the stall, scattering scrap parts all over the ground. "This piece of junk military frequency transmitter, you dare ask me for five thousand? You think I'm a sucker!"

The old man trembled with fear, staggering backward, his voice trembling with tears: "Young man, this is a genuine piece of equipment retired from service back then, it has parts made of real gold and silver, five thousand is really not expensive..."

"Screw your real money!" The blond-haired guy pulled out fifty yuan from his pocket and threw it directly at the old man's face. "Fifty yuan, brothers, take it back and sell it as scrap metal! Take the money or leave it, I'm taking the stuff today!"

As he spoke, the blond-haired man reached out to grab the rusty old-fashioned launcher on the stall.

There were many passersby browsing the market nearby, but seeing the arrogant appearance of these thugs, they all lowered their heads and walked away quickly, and no one dared to interfere.

Lin Chen originally had no interest in this kind of street thug drama.

But the moment the blond-haired man's hand touched the transmitter, Lin Chen's ears suddenly twitched.

[God-level hearing ability activated!]

In the extremely noisy market environment, Lin Chen keenly detected a very faint physical resonance sound coming from inside the dilapidated transmitter.

Ordinary people would never hear it, but Lin Chen heard it clearly.

There is a very well-preserved "high-frequency oscillating quartz crystal" inside!

This is the core material for making acoustic shields! If you were to buy this on the black market, it would cost at least several hundred thousand dollars, and there's practically no market for it.

Lin Chen strode forward, bypassing the thugs, and his gaze fell on the transmitter.

"I'll offer ten thousand for this."

Lin Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded particularly out of place in this chaotic corner.

The old man was stunned, staring at Lin Chen with disbelief.

The blond-haired man's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. He turned his head and glared at Lin Chen from head to toe.

When he saw Lin Chen's stature, which was a head taller than him, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly overshadowed by arrogance. In this area, he had never been afraid of anyone.

"Hey kid, what the hell do you think you are?" The blond-haired guy tilted his head and reached out to shove Lin Chen's shoulder. "You dare to steal my thunder? You've got a death wish!"

The henchmen behind Huang Mao immediately surrounded him, some even picking up scrap iron bars from the ground.

"Damn, this guy's got guts, daring to mess with these local bullies," a passerby muttered in the distance.

"What a pity, he's quite handsome, he'll probably be kicked out of here today."

Lin Chen didn't even glance at the blond-haired man.

Just as the blond-haired man's hand was about to touch his shoulder.

[Grandmaster-level combat skills have been unlocked!]

Lin Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he raised his right leg sharply, stomping hard on the back of Huang Mao's right foot with a speed that was impossible for the naked eye to catch!

"Snap!"

A chilling sound of bones shattering echoed clearly throughout the entire corner.

"ah--!!!"

The blond-haired man let out a bloodcurdling scream, collapsing to his knees and clutching his right foot tightly with both hands. Cold sweat poured down his forehead like a waterfall from the pain.

He felt as if his instep had been run over by a heavy road roller, and the bones were definitely shattered into pieces!

The henchmen holding iron bars froze on the spot, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

They didn't even see how Lin Chen kicked, and their boss was already kneeling! Is this some kind of power and speed that a human could possess?

Lin Chen remained expressionless, took out a stack of brand-new cash from his pocket, exactly ten thousand yuan, and threw it directly onto the old man's stall.

He then bent down, picked up the rusty transmitter, and turned to leave.

As Lin Chen passed by his terrified underlings, he stopped and coldly tossed out a sentence: "Get to the hospital, or this leg will be completely ruined."

Only when Lin Chen's imposing figure completely disappeared at the market entrance did the henchmen snap out of their daze. They hurriedly threw away the iron bars in their hands, picked up the yellow-haired man who was screaming like a pig being slaughtered, and ran away as fast as they could.

The old man held the ten thousand yuan, stared at the stall on the ground, and only after a long while did he come to his senses. He then bowed deeply in the direction Lin Chen had left.

After returning to the courtyard house, Lin Chen went straight into the underground studio.

He used force to dismantle the transmitter and took out the crystal-clear, high-frequency oscillating quartz crystal inside.

[God-level Mechanical Mastery unlocked!]

Lin Chen's hands moved like afterimages as he cut and polished the crystal, and together with other rare metal coils he had purchased, he began to carry out precise micro-assembly.

Before noon, four small, diamond-shaped "acoustic shields" were quietly placed on the worktable.

Lin Chen picked one up, examined it, and nodded in satisfaction. With this, the safety of his wives had increased by another level.
