My brainpower is evolving infinitely.

"Director Wang, you're too kind. Special Group Nine was trained by the Federation and should dedicate itself to serving the people of the Federation until its death."

"Please come in quickly. All the materials are ready, and we will explain the case information to you in detail immediately."

"please."

Director Wang ushered everyone inside, and Chen Yue, who was in the corner, tugged at Zhang Guodong's sleeve.

"Captain Zhang, these guys look so young. Can they really handle this?"

Zhang Guodong hooked his index finger and tapped Chen Yue on the head.

"Little brat, don't talk nonsense."

"Hiss~"

Chen Yue rubbed her head. Zhang Guodong looked at the figures that had already entered the hall, and said with a hint of respect:

"Group Nine consists of super geniuses handpicked by the Federation. They were secretly trained from childhood and have received the Federation's oldest and most powerful martial arts training for over a decade. They are also proficient in modern high-tech weapons."

Some people had already awakened their superpowers even before the fog appeared!

Although they look young, in terms of actual fighting power, our entire team combined wouldn't be a match for just one of them.

"Hiss~"

Chen Yue couldn't help but gasp, a look of shock flashing in her eyes.

She had thought the people in Group Nine were very capable, but she hadn't expected them to be this capable.

After all, these team members were all retired from the military, and there was even a Ming Jin master like Captain Zhang. It's simply outrageous that they couldn't beat any one of them.

Doesn't that mean they could kill a Ming Jin master with ease?

If these people joined forces, killing someone with hidden strength would probably be a piece of cake, right?

Zhang Guodong seemed to notice Chen Yue's shock and shook his head slightly, saying:

"Let's go, stop overthinking it. They're from a different world than us. Let's see what they have to say."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked inside.

...

University cafeterias in Shanghai.

"What? You're a finance major?"

Lu Jingyun was completely stunned when he learned that Lin Ye was a finance major.

Since the day he borrowed the book, he and Lin Ye gradually became acquainted.

Lin Ye has a wealth of knowledge in chemistry, and even has many new insights that broaden his horizons.

He had assumed Lin Ye was a graduate student from some university, since he had never seen Lin Ye in his chemistry classes before.

Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be a finance major.

Goodness, the finance students have mastered chemistry to this extent; the chemistry students are practically jumping off buildings in envy.

Lin Ye smiled calmly and said:

"I might have some talent for chemistry."

"Some talent? You call that 'some talent'? Dude, you're a genius!"

After the initial shock, Lu Jingyun then spoke:

"Lin Ye, since you have such a talent for chemistry, why don't you transfer to the chemistry department? With your level, getting a degree should be easy. I know some professors, I can introduce you to them."

Lin Ye shook his head slightly.

"I'm about to graduate from the finance department and I don't want to go through any more trouble."

Besides... chemistry is just a hobby of mine. If I were to make it my job in the future, it wouldn't be much different from working in finance.

Lu Jingyun remained silent for a long time, then let out a long sigh.

"It's infuriating to compare yourself to others. You have a talent that many chemists can only dream of, but you treat it as just a hobby. If word got out, I wonder how many people would grit their teeth in frustration."

Lin Ye then spoke:

"My theoretical knowledge of chemistry is pretty good, but I've never done any experiments. I wonder if you could take me to the lab to experience it?"

"Of course, I just need to talk to my mentor. If you'd like to go, I can take you there to experience it."

"Thank you very much. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"You're welcome."

Lin Ye's lips curled up slightly. Done.

To translate theoretical knowledge into experiments, one must have access to cutting-edge chemistry laboratories. However, such equipment is not available to private individuals in China because it is extremely expensive and is often concentrated in the hands of academic cliques.

Just then, Lu Jingyun came knocking on our door.

His identity has two special aspects.

Firstly, he is a top student in the Chemistry Department of Shanghai University, and also a prized student of Professor He Hong, a top chemistry professor in Shanghai.

He Hong is a renowned chemistry expert throughout the entire Eastern Xia Federation and even the entire Blue Star.

His laboratory is absolutely high-end, more than enough to meet his needs.

Secondly, Lu Jingyun is the eldest son of the Tianyun Group in Shanghai.

Tianyun Group is a well-known pharmaceutical group in the Eastern Xia Federation and has a profound influence in the pharmaceutical industry of the Eastern Xia Federation.

If I could recruit Lu Jingyun and leverage the Tianyun Group's platform and his network of connections, I could better collect the world's secret medicines and convert the money I made from stock trading using hacking techniques into real funds.

While those payments can certainly be made using virtual accounts, it's impossible to use virtual accounts forever.

It's okay for him to use it on the black market, because the black market itself has its own system, allowing them to convert their funds into legitimate ones.

If Ke Linye wanted to buy a luxury mansion, a luxury car, start a company, or buy a high-tech machine... all of these things could be purchased using a virtual account, and it would be quickly discovered by federal oversight.

After all, if someone suddenly has a lot of fixed assets under their name, even a fool would know there's something wrong.

He needs an industry, a huge industry that can handle countless large transactions every day.

As he spoke, Lin Ye felt a little dizzy again.

He glanced at the information panel in his mind.

[Brainpower Lv.2: (189/200)]

It's about to be upgraded.

However, before upgrading, he must break through to the Grandmaster level.

Lin Ye could sense that his mental capacity would leap forward again, as his physical strength at the Dark Force level would no longer be able to support that level of mental capacity.

He must lay a solid foundation in advance.

Today, I'll first go to the lab to make a highly concentrated reagent, and then try to make a breakthrough.

...

Meeting room of the Pujiang branch of the Public Security Bureau.

Li Hai, the leader of Special Group Nine, stared intently at Huang Hai's corpse, his face extremely solemn.

"Team Leader Li, how's it going? Have you noticed anything?"

Director Wang couldn't help but ask, and Li Hai let out a long sigh of relief.

"The situation is much more serious than we imagined."

Everyone's hearts tightened.

How do you know?

Li Hai then explained:

"Under normal circumstances, a master of internal strength has always forged their own path."

Even the most skilled martial artist has limited comprehension and energy. They must diligently practice the same type of skill and deepen their understanding in order to break through the hidden strength.

This results in their attacks, no matter how well they conceal themselves, always carrying a touch of personal style. Many people can tell which sect they belong to just by looking at their attacks, which is precisely the reason why.

However, this person did not display any personal style at all, but simply used pure internal force to destroy the opponent's physical body.

There are only two explanations then...

Which two interpretations?

"First, he is not a martial artist at all, but an evolved being who has awakened superpowers. His power and internal force belong to the same power generation mode."

second..."

At this point, Li Hai paused for a moment, and then his tone became somewhat subdued.

"He has reached a higher level, so he no longer exhibits the characteristics of hidden strength that come with a sect aura."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"You mean the person who made the move... was a Grandmaster of Internal Energy?!"
