My brainpower is evolving infinitely.

Lin Ye put on a mask to make himself look as inconspicuous as possible; he didn't want to attract too much attention.

"So far, I have seen two ancient martial arts practitioners. One is Qin Shuwan, and the other is the man who was investigating the case today. This shows that there should have been ancient martial arts practitioners before the spiritual energy was restored, and there may even have been a department specifically targeting ancient martial arts practitioners and evolved individuals."

The Federation has hidden many secrets unknown to ordinary people.

Furthermore, the appearance of Huang Hai indicates that the Evolvers may be nearby, but the Federation clearly has no intention of announcing it in the near future, which is a very dangerous thing for me.

"Furthermore, my stocks can't keep making money, otherwise it will attract the attention of federal financial regulators. I also need to find a way to acquire more precious medicinal herbs..."

All of this requires information.

Without information, a person is like someone whose five senses and six perceptions are shut off, living in complete darkness, like a blind person.

So next, we should learn electronic information technology.

Lin Ye went to the library, and this time, he began to learn about electronic information, computer programming technology, and a series of related knowledge.

Programming, Computer Programming Fundamentals, C Programming Language, Python Programming from Beginner to Practice...

...

Five days later, Lin Ye closed the last book, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"I should be considered a top-tier hacker now."

With this technology, he would have eyes that could see a thousand miles and ears that could hear the wind. He could even become a ghost and roam the network thousands of miles away without being detected by anyone.

Looking at my mental experience, I realized I had gained a total of 64 experience points in five days, which was another pleasant surprise.

"Let's go and learn about the secrets of this world first."

Lin Ye got up and left the library, heading to an internet cafe near the school.

When he first entered university, he and Zhang He, along with several other classmates, even bought membership cards specifically to play PUBG. Later, they got tired of playing and never used the remaining few hundred yuan on their cards.

Lin Ye had almost forgotten about the incident and had basically accepted that the several hundred yuan had gone down the drain. He never expected that he would be able to use it again.

He found a private room, turned on the machine, and started programming.

"First, create a fake IP address... no, first create a hundred virtual IP addresses."

Internet cafes use fixed IP addresses, and you still use your ID card to access the internet. Without creating some fake addresses first, others can easily find you by following the network cable.

After creating enough fake IPs, Lin Ye began to try hacking into some websites.

Instead of immediately challenging top-tier entities, such as important federal departments, he chose to start by testing the waters with some smaller companies.

And believe it or not, with his current abilities, cracking the websites of these small companies is as easy as using a key to unlock a lock; he can crack them with ease.

However, it's basically not of much value; a small company's network is mostly just for business dealings.

After briefly testing his abilities, Lin Ye began trying to enter higher-level companies, such as some well-known domestic companies.

He entered it like a ghost, silently.

Large companies have much stronger cybersecurity management, but this is not a big problem for Lin Ye. His powerful mental calculation ability, coupled with his rich programming knowledge, allows him to react quickly and complete a new evolution in a short period of time.

Upon entering, Lin Ye found himself in a completely new world.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer volume of business transactions alone is enough to make one's heart pound. These transactions, often involving hundreds of millions or even billions, are a secret that countless people will never witness in their entire lives.

Now, he can not only see it, but also secretly modify some of the data.

This suddenly reminded him of his childhood dream: to be a hacker and modify his own QQ coins, equipment, and skins...

Unfortunately, time flies and can never be turned back. Now that I have this ability, I'm too lazy to do it.

"Huh, what's this...?"

As Lin Ye was examining the documents with great interest, he suddenly discovered some special encrypted information in the confidential files of a leading enterprise in the Eastern Xia Federation's deep city.

After carefully cracking the code, he opened the folder, which contained some confidential documents and videos.

Lin Ye opened the video file. The first video showed a team of fully armed mercenaries hunting a wolf in a deep mountain forest.

To be precise, it was a giant wolf!

It is over two meters tall and over four meters long, and its enormous mouth can bite off the head of an adult.

Not only that, it also possesses incredible speed, moving like a ghost in the forest.

"It's there, shoot, shoot now!"

"Captain, I'm almost out of bullets!"

"ah..."

The video ends with the entire squad being wiped out.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly.

"This wolf seems to be overpowered; its speed is almost on par with mine."

Logically, this shouldn't be the case, because the video was taken a month ago, which is only a month after the fog appeared.

"Could it be that the appearance of the dense fog causes different individuals to start evolving at vastly different times and speeds?"

This explanation makes sense: why some people started evolving first, while most people haven't started evolving yet.

But wouldn't this mean that those who haven't evolved might also show signs of evolution later on?

A global evolutionary frenzy?

Lin Ye continued to examine other documents, becoming increasingly alarmed with each reading.

Unfathomable miracles have been unearthed at ancient ruins...

Major companies are researching and developing artificial intelligence combat machines, armed mechs...

Global powers are recruiting evolved individuals to seize the top combat power in the future world...

While ordinary people are still living their lives in a daze, the major powers have already begun to plan for the future world, attempting to gain a foothold in the new world.

Even after the new world is completed, they will still be the Brahmins of this world...

Information is incredibly important. Even as dynasties change and time marches on, those at the top remain at the top, while ordinary people are still destined to be beasts of burden...

"Should I also form a faction?"

Lin Ye suddenly had this idea, but after thinking about it carefully, he rejected it or put it aside for the time being.

His current strength is not strong enough. He is neither as rich and influential as those top powers, nor does he have an army and firearms like the Federation machine. If he finds an evolved human who is more powerful than himself and turns to become his boss, wouldn't that be ridiculous?

Let's talk about it after I've improved my skills further.

Lin Ye continued to review the documents and learned a lot of valuable information, which greatly broadened his horizons.

Black market trading channels... Ancient martial arts families... Federal Group Nine...

Just as he was eagerly absorbing the hidden knowledge of this world, the computer program suddenly issued a warning.

"Has someone spotted me?"
