My brainpower is evolving infinitely.

Lin Ye: "???"

What the hell?

Has this guy become that morbid?

They were just called in for questioning by the police, and they became his targets?

"Hey, Lao Lin, are you listening?"

Zhang He's hurried voice came through the phone again. Lin Ye regained his composure and responded softly.

"I am here."

"Just listen. Hurry back to school. Our school's security is quite strict. That kid shouldn't dare to break in."

"And what about you?"

"My baby has already hired professional bodyguards for me, all of them are retired special forces soldiers, so you don't need to worry."

Baby...

Lin Ye's face twitched violently involuntarily.

"Okay, that's settled then. My baby is still waiting for me. Once that bastard is caught, I'll treat you to some fun."

The call ended, followed by a series of dial tones.

Lin Ye put away his phone, but his brows were furrowed.

Huang Hai may now be an evolved being, with strength far exceeding that of ordinary people. Although he has many targets, I am one of them after all. Who knows when he will suddenly appear and attack me?

The feeling of being watched by a venomous snake in the dark is always unpleasant.

Furthermore, since his awakening and evolution, he has not encountered a single true evolved being. He also wants to observe from a distance to see how other evolved beings differ from himself and what their strength is like.

This helps him to assess his own strength in the surrounding environment.

"How about we go back and use the public network to find out where this kid is?"

But Lin Ye quickly dismissed the idea.

There are many capable people in the Federation, and they must have already investigated. Huang Hai wouldn't be so foolish as to not avoid those cameras.

This method is definitely not feasible.

"What method should I use?"

Lin Ye looked into the distance, where several sparrows were chasing and playing with each other. After a moment of distraction, the corners of Lin Ye's mouth turned up slightly.

"Isn't this a ready-made spy?"

What could be better at gathering information than the sparrows in this city?

They can fly freely to every corner, and because they are sparrows, they will not attract anyone's attention or vigilance.

...

Ten minutes later, Lin Ye was holding his phone in one hand and feeding the little sparrow breadcrumbs with the other.

"See this guy? Find him, and you can get more bread."

"Chirp (I understand)."

Most of the sparrows scattered and flew away immediately, but two chubby little gluttons were still searching for the remaining bread crumbs on the ground.

Lin Ye looked at the two little sparrows and fell into a slight reverie.

As his brain continues to evolve and improve, he has many more new ideas than before.

"Telepathic communication shouldn't just be about communicating with other living beings; there should be other ways to use it."

First, is it possible to retrieve someone's memories by matching their brainwaves?

This is similar to the hacking techniques I just learned.

The brain of every living being is like an independent CPU, and different frequencies of vibration can penetrate it, just like a hacker infiltrating someone else's website.

With that in mind, Lin Ye immediately began trying to drive it.

The little sparrow has a small brain, like the brain capacity of a small company, so it's easy to handle.

The little sparrow, which had been greedily eating, suddenly stopped and stood still, motionless.

Lin Ye felt as if a slideshow was playing in his mind, showing various scenes, which were all memory fragments that existed in the little sparrow's mind.

A moment later, Lin Ye withdrew from the other party's consciousness and made a summary.

"Mental communication can indeed allow me to view the other person's memories, but it consumes a lot of my mental energy, and... the other person's mental energy is also crucial."

I was able to examine the little sparrow because of its weak mental strength; if it were an adult, it wouldn't be so easy.

At least for me right now, there is some pressure.

Only when I become stronger can I use it more skillfully and at will.

After reviewing the memory verification, the next step is the second point.

Is it possible to achieve mental manipulation, i.e., illusion, through spiritual communication?

This time, Lin Ye used a mental illusion technique on another little sparrow.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

As time passed, the little sparrow, which had been eating small bread, suddenly became dazed and then began to hop around happily in place.

"Chirp chirp (food)...chirp chirp chirp chirp (lots of food)..."

In its eyes, the world around it had become a giant granary.

Another little sparrow looked at it with a puzzled expression.

"Chirp chirp (Where did the food come from?)"

"It's done."

Lin Ye's lips curled up in a smile.

Both of these new abilities are top-notch.

Whether used for murder or for obtaining information, it is outrageously powerful.

Of course, it's still the same.

To truly play a significant role, one must first improve their own capabilities.

"Let's grab something to eat first, and then we'll talk more once we find Huang Hai."

Lin Ye went to a nearby Lanzhou noodle restaurant.

"Boss, one order of stir-fried knife-cut noodles, two pounds of cooked beef, and dipping sauce."

As his physical strength has improved, Lin Ye now mainly eats meat.

However, meat was gradually becoming less filling, which gave Lin Ye quite a headache.

"According to the theory of biological evolution, eating meat can quickly replenish protein. I can't possibly carry two buckets of pork knuckles around every day, that would be too lame."

If that's the case, then I'll have to prepare some medicinal cuisine.

So-called medicinal cuisine is actually a stew of high-energy Chinese medicinal herbs with meat.

Stewing the medicinal herbs extracts their high-energy substances, allowing them to permeate the broth; drinking the soup is even better than eating the main dish.

However, this requires a continuous supply of medicinal herbs, and it only provides enough food to fill one's stomach without reducing one's volume significantly. Furthermore, as one's strength continues to grow, the amount of medicinal food will gradually increase, so the volume problem remains unresolved.

"By the way, in ancient times, Taoist priests often refined elixirs. The so-called 'abstinence pills' in those novels were mostly derived from Taoist stories."

Why don't I conduct research along this path? I can carry more pills with me and take one when I'm hungry; that should solve the problem.

From this perspective, the ancients' pursuit of immortality and alchemy is actually a very logical thing.

"It's time to make a trip to the black market in Shanghai."

Lin Ye didn't plan to buy from the Qin family's Huichuntang again, at least not for the time being. Other pharmacies probably also had rules against selling to ordinary people, so going to the black market would reduce a lot of trouble.

He had just checked on the dark web and found that there were seven or eight black markets in Shanghai, one of which seemed to be near Huangpu River. He would go and take a look when he had some free time.

Just as he was finishing his meal, a little sparrow suddenly flew over from outside and landed on Lin Ye's table, chirping away.

"Chirp chirp chirp... (Found it, found it)..."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lin Ye smiled slightly, picked up a small piece of beef from the sparrow's plate, and the sparrow excitedly ate the beef, then spread its wings and began to lead the way for Lin Ye.
