I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 222: 【184】Evolve! Second Rank Extraordinary (Thanks to Keji Suoyu for the reward support)_1
Pei Jinye was granted a half-month recuperation period by the Investigation Team.

For Pei Jinye, this was absolutely good news, as it would allow him more time to arrange his cultivation without the “disturbances” of the Investigation Team.

During this period, Governor Zhou Weiren made a call to him, warmly inquiring about his situation and conveying Mr. Han’s message, “Take good care of your injuries.”

Once this call came through, Pei Jinye knew that those messy missions from Storm City wouldn’t be coming his way for the time being.

…

The half-month passed in a flash.

The Jiang family’s business street plan had already been put into action, and the rent for the stores invested in by Father Pei had soared, thus bringing in a considerable profit.

These days, Father Pei would occasionally fret over being too conservative with his investments, believing he could have earned much more, while Mother Pei often said that contentment brought happiness.

On the other hand, the plans for Pei’s Dai Hailao Chain Hot Pot Restaurant had already begun to materialize, with the store locations chosen and even ready-to-use storefronts secured.

As for the giant python in the back mountain of the Jiang family, it had almost digested the D-level feeble beast, and its body was growing longer by the day.

The bluebird that had accompanied it for half a month had also built its nest on the back mountain of the Jiang family, and more than a dozen sparrows had gathered around it. They often soared together above the forests near the Jiang family, recruiting minions, and competing for territory.

And Pei Jinye’s strength had greatly increased during his half-month of “rest and recuperation”!

In fifteen days, he picked up Attribute Light Groups seven times.

Three times he picked up Extraordinary Gene Fragments, twice he picked up proficiency, and twice he picked up ten free attribute points each.

His attribute panel had changed.

Power·Savage Mountain was the first transformed attribute to become a Second Rank Extraordinary.

[Power·Savage Mountain]Level 2: Eight more similar Extraordinary Attribute Fragments required for the next rank upgrade!

Extraordinary Ability 1: Sixfold Strength (Effect: Sixfold strength burst);

Extraordinary Ability 2: Air Blast (Effect: Generates an air explosion upon activation, capable of burning and blasting opponents);

That meant, after entering the Second Rank, the corresponding Extraordinary Abilities would level up.

Theoretically, Pei Jinye’s Extraordinary-Human Genes could increase indefinitely, which also meant his Extraordinary Abilities would only continue to grow stronger.

“I can hardly imagine what it would be like if I just pointed a finger, and the world was destroyed.”

“What a pity…”

Pei Jinye tried to create genes for eternal life using the Universal Extraordinary Gene, but it didn’t work.

This level of Extraordinary Gene required more than just a few Universal Fragments to solve.

But Pei Jinye wasn’t in a hurry.

He was still young and had plenty of opportunities.

…

Inside First Hospital.

Pei Jinye came for a follow-up check-up as requested.

Unexpectedly, Brother Bi and Zhou Ye were also there.

After the check-up confirmed everything was fine, Brother Bi led them to the breakfast store at the hospital entrance with a grand gesture.

“You’ve missed a lot of big events while you were not around,” Zhou Ye said with a smile.

Pei Jinye looked over, his gaze clear, “Big events?”

Zhou Ye whispered, “A week ago, members of the Old Gods Association showed up in Storm City and had a big fight with the locals. I heard they took away three Sealing Objects.”

“Storm City again?” Pei Jinye looked intrigued, “Last time they found a Cursed Object in Storm City, and now the Old Gods Association has taken away Sealing Objects again, three of them no less. Does this place produce treasures in abundance?”

Zhou Ye chuckled, “Storm City is still a third-tier city after all, not a tiny eighteenth-tier city like Da Peng City that we can compare. But Storm City has been greatly weakened this time, and I heard the higher-ups are considering stationing a stronger presence there.”

Speaking of which.

Zhou Ye suddenly leaned in and whispered, “There’s something big you definitely wouldn’t imagine.”

Pei Jinye looked puzzled.

“Do you still remember Xu Tian?”

As soon as Zhou Ye said this, Pei Jinye already knew what he was about to say.

The next second, Zhou Ye said with an air of mystery, “Our team has received information from the higher-ups that the Judgement Place has confirmed Xu Tian’s death, and they want us to investigate the related causes. What’s more interesting is that the death time confirmed by the Judgement Place doesn’t match the time we have here. Could it be that Xu Tian existed as a ghost after his death?”

Zhou Ye shared this as if it were a joke.

Pei Jinye also laughed.

But in his heart, he thought, as expected.

The Judgement Place indeed had information he was unaware of.

Since they knew that Xu Tian had died, the death of Yang Qingdan surely couldn’t be kept secret either, but it seemed that Zhou Ye and the others were not yet aware of Yang Qingdan’s demise.

They couldn’t possibly just sit by and do nothing.

“Xu Tian died? What is the Judgement Place going to do?” Pei Jinye asked, as if by reflex.

“They want us to assist in the investigation,” Zhou Ye said, biting into a steamed bun and speaking softly, “As usual, the people from the Judgement Place will definitely send someone to investigate secretly. Last month one of their guys died, and they had Xu Tian look into it, but now Xu Tian is gone too…”

Suddenly, Brother Bi said, “This isn’t our group’s case, don’t worry about it too much. Getting too close to the Judgement Place doesn’t end well. Hurry up and eat, even a bun can’t shut your mouth.”

Zhou Ye shrank his neck, “Brother Bi, do you think there really are ghosts in this world?”

Brother Bi looked over.

He didn’t answer but just let out a cold laugh.

Zhou Ye laughed awkwardly and continued, “Could the Judgement Place have made a mistake? The people at the city hall said that when they saw Xu Tian, it was definitely after he died…”

Brother Bi glanced at him, “Why do you care so much?”

Zhou Ye smiled ingratiatingly, “Isn’t it because I thought it was a big case?”

“A Second Class Merit isn’t enough for you, huh?” Brother Bi finished the soup in his bowl in one gulp and, burping contentedly, said, “Even for a big case, you need to be alive to see it through. Look at Xu Tian, a Judgement Place background, gone just like that, and you think you could take a few hits with your tiny frame?”

Zhou Ye immediately tensed up and ducked his head.

Pei Jinye silently continued eating his congee.

…

At nine thirty in the morning.

Investigation Team’s Base.

Returning here after half a month, Pei Jinye suddenly found quite a few changes.

He pointed at the high-energy cannon on the wall, “What’s with the big show?”

Brother Bi looked up and also glanced at it, murmuring, “We’ve been conducting drills these past two days. You’ll get used to it.”

He followed Brother Bi to complete the formalities for ending his leave.

Logistics Old Zhang also showed concern, “Everything alright?”

Pei Jinye startled, then said with a smile, “Nothing much.”

Old Zhang nodded, handing over the briefcase with a smile, “Check this out.”

Pei Jinye wasn’t shy.

He checked it.

Seeing him lively and bouncing around, Old Zhang chuckled and turned to Brother Bi, “It’s good to be young.”

Brother Bi heartily agreed.

…

After leaving the Logistics.

Brother Bi took Pei Jinye to practice shooting, but not long after, all members of the second group received communications for an emergency assembly.

“Let’s go.”

When Brother Bi was taking Pei Jinye back to the meeting room 401,

Zhou Ye appeared out of nowhere and whispered, “Brother Bi, something big has happened!”

“What happened?” Brother Bi asked.

Zhou Ye pulled Pei Jinye over, and the three of them hurried along while whispering to each other.

“I heard Old Qiu was pulled down, and someone parachuted in to take the position of the leader.”

“Damn, who is it?”

“Don’t know, but I heard it’s a young woman.”

By the time they reached the fourth floor, Brother Bi and Zhou Ye fell silent, leading Pei Jinye into the meeting room. By then, more than half of the attendees had arrived, each with a different expression.

Brother Bi glanced around, Qiu Hezi hadn’t arrived yet, so he suppressed his curiosity.

As more and more people arrived, the murmurings among themselves grew louder.

It appeared that everyone had already learned that Old Qiu had been replaced as the leader.

Before long.

Qiu Hezi appeared at the doorway, prompting many seated in the front row to stand up, but they sat back down with a gesture from his hand.

Soon after, a line of text appeared at the entrance.

An Investigation Team’s high-ranking officer was followed by a young woman with short hair.

Pei Jinye and Brother Bi exchanged glances upon seeing the woman.

Wasn’t she the one who scored perfect at the shooting range half a month ago?

Was it she who replaced Qiu Hezi?

The high-ranking officer briefly introduced the woman’s name and specifically highlighted that she was an elite from the Central Continent Headquarters.

Not long after, led by Qiu Hezi, everyone clapped in welcome.

“Next, I’ll have Chief Lin talk to you. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.”

After the high-ranking officer bade farewell, Qiu Hezi and the others looked humbled, but Pei Jinye noticed that the newly parachuted Chief Lin remained calm throughout.

“There are only two top wealthy Lin families in Central State, I wonder which family this lady comes from, especially since she doesn’t even regard Commander Luo highly…” Zhou Ye muttered in ventriloquism to Pei Jinye.

Brother Bi joined the conversation.

“Want to bet? Five hundred each.”

“Bet on what?” Zhou Ye’s interest peaked immediately.

Brother Bi signaled with his eyes, “Choose one from the two Lin families, are you in?”

“I’m in!”

“You pick first. Is it the Lin Family from Storm City or from the City of Eternal Light?”

“Storm City!”

“Then I’ll take the City of Eternal Light.”

“Which one do you choose, Jinye?” Zhou Ye asked softly in ventriloquism.

Before Pei Jinye could answer, Brother Bi interrupted in annoyance, “He’s just a kid, and you’re getting him to bet, what kind of person are you?”

Zhou Ye: “…”

Chaotically!

Just then,

The parachuted Chief Lin Xiawei spoke calmly, “We’ll be joining the neighboring Storm City for a joint patrol tonight, and our team needs to designate some people… those in the last row, report at the highway intersection at 10:30 PM.”

All eyes swept over to them.

Brother Bi and Zhou Ye, who were chatting, blushed as if they’d been caught fooling around during a class.

“Reporting to the Chief, no problem!”

Zhou Ye, seeing Brother Bi lose his nerve and cave in, decisively followed suit.

“Reporting to the Chief, no problem!”

There were only three people in the last row.

Brother Bi, Zhou Ye, and Pei Jinye, who was also implicated.

It turned out Pei Jinye didn’t need to say anything because Chief Lin had already walked away briskly.

Qiu Hezi was summoned to follow.

As the chief left the meeting room, the serious atmosphere relaxed.

Someone in the front row joked with a laugh, “Brother Bi, you’ll have a tough night representing the brothers on the field.”

Another chimed in, “Brother Bi, wear more clothes tonight, it’s cold now.”

“…”

Brother Bi stood up and flipped them off in response.

The group of older men teased each other, and after everyone else had left, Brother Bi turned back helplessly.

“To think I thought there was nothing to do today and we could leave work early, what rotten luck. It’s all your fault, Zhou Ye, you had to drag me into the Lin family’s affairs…”

Zhou Ye was at a loss for words, “Weren’t you the one to suggest betting first? But having a mission is not bad, if we could snag a Third Class Merit, all the brothers could get promotion and a salary raise next year.”

“Third Class Merit, my ass. We nearly got wasted for a Second Class Merit, to be honest, I just want to live peacefully,” Brother Bi sighed deeply.

…

With nothing else to do, Pei Jinye left Brother Bi and Zhou Ye and returned to his dormitory to start his cultivation.

Time flew by.

Nightfall came in the blink of an eye.

“Brother Bi, where are we meeting up?” Zhou Ye asked.

Brother Bi was also puzzled.

To their surprise, the cooperative patrol for the night involved Chief Lin Xiawei, who had just arrived.

Brother Bi and Zhou Ye looked at each other, dumbfounded.

“Have you started driving?” Lin Xiawei asked while looking at her wristwatch, casually.

“Yes,” Brother Bi replied primly.

“Follow our car, and you’ll get the specific tasks in your backend soon,” Lin Xiawei said and then promptly hopped into the car.

Brother Bi gave a signal, and the three of them got into their car and followed.

“Brother Bi, I have a bad feeling about tonight’s mission…” Zhou Ye whispered, his expression suddenly tense.

In the back,

Pei Jinye watched the task content appear on the backend and slowly narrowed his eyes.
