My brainpower is evolving infinitely.

It was Lin Ye who made the move. The other party had committed many evil deeds and would eventually go back to kill him and his classmates, so he simply sent him away to avoid future trouble.

At this moment, he was planning his next move.

A 'light screen notebook' appeared in front of him.

It wasn't a brainpower evolution panel, nor was it a real light screen notebook; it was a light screen notebook he had imagined.

Ordinary people have limited brainpower, and they need to take notes on paper when they do even a little calculation.

Lin Ye's brainpower gradually increased, becoming comparable to the CPU processor of an ordinary computer. Therefore, he could create "Light Screen Notepad" out of thin air, just like creating a document on a computer and storing it directly in his brain, like storing it in a folder.

"What I need to learn next is chemistry."

Chemistry helps me extract and concentrate energy; alchemy and the production of highly concentrated energy potions all require the use of chemistry.

"Solve the personal energy problem first, then develop the external combat power enhancement system."

From the confidential documents of those major companies, Lin Ye learned that the Federation's top corporations had begun developing cyborgs, searching for superhumans, and manufacturing combat mechs and robots...

Lin Ye used this as a basis for his future advancement or the creation of a power.

Because the evolution of life is a slow process, and the time required increases as time progresses, ancient martial arts cannot significantly improve one's strength in a short period of time, so it is necessary to consider relying on some external auxiliary tools.

After all... the use of tools is the hallmark of Homo sapiens.

He can create combat mechs, robots, and even super-powerful weapons!

This type of learning requires knowledge of mathematics, physics, and information programming. I have already mastered information programming, so I only need to learn mathematics and physics.

These two points will be covered later in the chemistry section.

in addition...

"The original plan was to temporarily shelve the construction of the power base because the funding problem could not be solved. Now, by trading stocks globally through virtual accounts, the funding problem has been successfully solved."

Moreover, based on tonight's observations and practical tests, my strength seems to be quite good in the real world. As long as I am a little more cautious and steady, I should be fine.

It's time to start thinking about ways to build up our influence.

Building influence is a crucial step in self-improvement.

Materials in Shanghai are limited, so he can't possibly travel all over the world to find and acquire those rare and precious medicines.

Furthermore, creating external combat power enhancement systems, such as combat mechs and advanced intelligent thermal weapons, requires cutting-edge scientific materials, and the manufacturing process also requires highly skilled personnel to operate them.

He can't just set up a small workshop and hand-make everything by himself; that would take forever.

Global evolution isn't just his own evolution. If he doesn't build up his combat power beforehand, he might run into a strong opponent and be completely outmatched.

"While learning knowledge, I can simultaneously improve my physical cultivation, and the production of highly concentrated energy potions and elixirs also requires basic materials."

If we want to research high-tech mechs or advanced thermal weapons in the future, we will need to purchase materials through special channels.

"Let's check the black market first to secure a stable supply before we can better plan our next steps."

With that thought in mind, Lin Ye put away the light screen notebook, stored the plan in his mind, and hailed a taxi.

"Master, go to the underground market in Pujiang."

...

After Lin Ye left, two other figures also arrived at this location.

"Captain Zhang, I'm sorry, I was too careless just now. If I had shot him directly, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape."

Chen Yue looked full of guilt, but Captain Zhang didn't blame her; instead, he comforted her:

"That's all in the past. The most important thing now is to find this guy as soon as possible and not let him continue to do evil."

Chen Yue nodded, then her eyes suddenly noticed the strange situation over there, and she immediately exclaimed:

"Team Leader Zhang, look over there!"

"That is..."

The two exchanged a glance and ran over quickly.

"Hiss~ Captain Zhang, it's Huang Hai! My God, who did this?"

When the two saw Huang Hai's body, they were not excited about his death; instead, they showed deep horror.

Huang Hai's death was not only tragic but also extremely bizarre.

Team Leader Zhang's eyes were solemn, as if he had thought of something. He trembled as he slowly turned Huang Hai's body over. When he saw that there were no injuries on Huang Hai's chest, he understood completely.

"As expected... he's a master of internal energy!"

"Internal strength! A master of the second realm of ancient martial arts? Doesn't that mean he's even more powerful than you?"

Chen Yue exclaimed in surprise, while Captain Zhang took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and slowly said:

You're right.

For an ordinary person to develop martial arts skills, if they have enough talent, more than ten years of hard training, and the use of precious medicinal herbs, they will have a chance to cultivate Ming Jin, which is the level of my skills.

Those with "Ming Jin" (明劲) can shatter stone tablets with their fists; only one in ten thousand martial arts practitioners has the chance to achieve this.

Those with even greater talent, after more than twenty years of rigorous training, will have the opportunity to reach the level of internal strength.

Those with hidden strength can strike from afar, killing without a trace. Only one in a hundred martial artists with visible strength has the opportunity to reach this level—truly one in a million.

"Wow~ One in a million? That's amazing? Doesn't that make him invincible?"

Team Leader Zhang shook his head.

"Invincible is an exaggeration. Above the hidden strength level, there are the Transformation Strength Grandmasters who are not afraid of bullets, and the legendary Grandmasters who can walk on water!"

However, those were almost all legendary masters.

You might not be able to find a Grandmaster of the Core Formation in the entire city, and there are only a handful of Grandmasters of the Transformation Realm. They are basically the heads of various ancient martial arts families, and they are the kind of people who can make the city tremble with a stomp of their feet. You can hardly see them on ordinary days.

However, the hidden strength should not be underestimated, because there are not many masters of hidden strength even in a top international city like Shanghai.

Most importantly, with our current strength, we are simply no match for them.

"Didn't you say that only a Grandmaster of Internal Energy could withstand a bullet? An Inner Force shouldn't be able to withstand a bullet, right?"

Team Leader Zhang was both amused and exasperated.

"Do you think masters of internal energy are fools? Standing there and letting you shoot them?"

Their speed is directly proportional to their strength; we can't hit them at all. What difference does it make whether we have guns or not?

Chen Yue then realized the seriousness of the problem.

"So, what do we do now...?"

Team Leader Zhang gritted his teeth.

"We have to call the Ninth Group of Dongxia. This is no longer a case we can handle."

Although the other party killed Huang Hai, until the other party's stance is determined, he is at least a hundred times more dangerous than Huang Hai.

...

Half an hour later, at the entrance of the Pujiang Underground Market.

Lin Ye got out of the taxi and looked at the bustling underground market, and couldn't help but sigh:

"These old markets still have the most vibrant, lively atmosphere."

The Eastern Xia Federation has developed rapidly over the past few decades, with old buildings being demolished and new ones being built everywhere.

Following this wave, Shanghai is now full of modern shopping malls, and even the number of top-tier luxury shopping malls is unmatched by other cities in Dongxia.

But when it comes to taste, it has to be this kind of old market with the atmosphere of the last century, which makes people feel like they've returned to their childhood.

Lin Ye strode in, passing through a dark area untouched by streetlights. His internal energy subtly circulated, his face contorting in pain. He reappeared under another streetlight, transformed from a handsome young man into a slightly weathered man in his fifties...
