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

The subsequent handover of the case went smoothly.

With the core hard drive provided by Lin Chen, Chu Yunzhou's massive criminal network was completely dismantled in just one day under the joint crackdown by the police and the Economic Crime Investigation Department.

Those business executives and underground agents who were controlled by him through drugs and psychological manipulation were all arrested according to law. News media were flooded with reports about the downfall of "Qingyun Charity" and "Chu Yunzhou Art Foundation".

As the mastermind behind all of this, Lin Chen was currently driving his unassuming Phaeton back to the courtyard house.

Night had fallen, and the streets of Beijing were nearly deserted.

Back at the courtyard house, it was quiet. The women, having worked tirelessly on the case for the past few days, had all gone to bed early.

Lin Chen entered the ensuite bathroom in the master bedroom, took off his suit which was stained with a trace of blood, and turned on the shower. Warm water flowed down from above, washing away the fatigue of the past few days.

After changing into a loose-fitting cotton pajama set, Lin Chen walked to the grape trellis in the yard and lay down on the large wicker chair.

Just as he closed his eyes to rest, the system's long-absent, frantic notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for perfectly solving the "Puppet Serial Murder Case"!]

[Task Completion Rate: 100%!]

[Successfully dismantled Chu Yunzhou's criminal syndicate, saving multiple innocent victims. Mission rating: SSS!]

Lin Chen opened his eyes and looked at the semi-transparent system panel that popped up on his retina. The SSS-level rating meant that the reward this time was definitely extraordinary.

[Reward 1: 300 billion in cash! (Already legally transferred to the host's private black card. Source of funds: The system has used hacking techniques to lock down the Chu Yunzhou Overseas Art Fund's cash chain, and shorted it with high leverage before the police could seize it. All profits have been laundered and legalized.)]

Lin Chen's phone, which was placed next to him, vibrated.

He picked it up and saw it was a text message from a Swiss bank confirming the arrival of funds. Looking at the long string of countless zeros, Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction. This 30 billion came at just the right time. Although Ye Qingcheng had tricked Chu Yunzhou on that "toxic land" in the Southern District, her subsequent business plans needed a large influx of capital.

[Reward 2: All attributes +100! Charm +200!]

The moment the notification sound fell, Lin Chen felt an extremely large yet gentle energy explode within his body.

His muscle fibers seemed to be torn apart and then rewoven with ten times the strength, his bones emitted subtle popping sounds, and their density increased again. His already extremely keen hearing and vision once again pushed the limits of human physiology.

Lin Chen clenched his fist slightly, and a muffled sonic boom echoed through the air. He felt that even without using any martial arts techniques, he could punch through the armor of a main battle tank with pure physical strength.

[Reward 3: Gain a special life skill—God-level musical instrument crafting!]

[Skill Description: The host can use any material to handcraft top-tier musical instruments with perfect tone. The instruments created possess unique acoustic resonance chambers, producing special effects such as concentration, tranquility, and emotional resonance.]

A vast amount of knowledge about musical instrument making instantly flooded Lin Chen's brain.

From the grain patterns of various precious woods and the impact of drying years on tone, to the tension calculation of string materials, the golden ratio cutting of the soundbox, and even the ancient formula for lacquer, everything is deeply imprinted in his memory.

The first person that came to Lin Chen's mind was that girl, Su Ke'er.

A few days ago at Chu Yunzhou's lecture, the little girl, although wearing shielded earrings and not hypnotized, was still quite frightened. She is a student at the affiliated high school of the music academy, majoring in violin.

"I'll go to the timber market tomorrow and find some top-quality rosewood or century-old spruce to make her a violin by hand," Lin Chen thought to himself.

[Reward 4: Obtain a one-time consumable item—Memory Reading Capsule!]

[Item Description: After consumption, it allows forcible access to the core memories of a dying or mentally broken target through physical contact. Limited to one use.]

Lin Chen flipped his hand, and a capsule emitting a faint blue light appeared in his palm.

This thing is absolutely an incredible trump card. In the future, if you encounter a key figure who is stubborn and refuses to admit anything, or who goes completely insane like Chu Yunzhou, just feed them this capsule, and the secrets in their mind will be exposed.

Lin Chen put the capsule into his system space.

The night breeze rustled through the leaves of the grapevines.

He unlocked the [God-level Architecture Mastery] and [God-level Mechanical Mastery] levels.

A mental diagram of the courtyard house's basement structure automatically appeared in Lin Chen's mind. He planned to completely renovate and upgrade the entire underground space.

He plans to introduce military-grade titanium alloy explosion-proof doors, establish a micro nuclear power supply system completely independent of the municipal power grid, and triple the size of the underground workshop, specifically dividing it into a bulletproof material processing area and a musical instrument manufacturing area.

Lin Chen went to the study, spread out a huge blueprint, picked up a pencil, and began to quickly sketch the design of the underground fortress.
