154: Lei Zhen gained X-ray vision.
Zheng Wenchang didn't answer directly. Instead, he slowly said, "So that's how it is, Lei Zhen. Do you know that back then, Brother Changfeng, it was because of you..."
At this point, Zheng Wenchang hesitated, his eyes immediately turning red.
Those unbearable memories were like sharp knives with hooks, each recollection piercing his heart with a dull ache.
"Master, I know," Lei Zhen's voice also carried sorrow. "Uncle Wang's family of three, they were all killed by human traffickers because of me."
"So that's why you came to be a police officer?" Zheng Wenchang asked.
"Yes," Lei Zhen nodded heavily. "From the day Uncle Wang was killed, becoming a police officer was my biggest dream. It's just that I never had the conditions or the qualifications. This time, it was also because I coincidentally helped the Municipal Bureau solve a case that my dream came true."
"You want to investigate those human traffickers? To avenge Brother Changfeng?"
"Yes," Lei Zhen answered resolutely. "So I will definitely join the Municipal Criminal Investigation Team, get the case file of that massacre, find the murderers, and catch them all!"
As he spoke, Lei Zhen clenched his fists, his teeth grinding audibly.
"Alright, I agree to take you as my apprentice," Zheng Wenchang said with a smile. "But I'll tell you in advance, I'm old now, and the ambition I had when I first became a police officer is long gone. Plus, I've been muddling through these years and don't have any real skills to teach you."
"Master, you're too humble," Lei Zhen said with a smile. "I secretly visited your office, and there are many books on criminal investigation. I suspect you've also been secretly investigating Uncle Wang's case. You must have learned quite a lot of real skills over the years, haven't you?"
Zheng Wenchang laughed heartily. "You little rascal, you actually secretly investigated me? But you're not wrong. I've been reading whenever I had free time over the years. Regarding Brother Changfeng's case, I have indeed analyzed a lot. When you become a criminal police officer, I'll give you everything I've summarized over the years."
"Thank you, Master," Lei Zhen said, then turned to Zhu Xiaojun. "Brother Jun, my car keys are with you, right? Please bring over that pack of a brand of premium cigarettes from the back seat to honor Master."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Wenchang's previously dim eyes immediately lit up.
"Lei Zhen, was the cigarette you brought me this morning really a brand of premium cigarettes?"
Lei Zhen said, "It's genuine. Director Zeng of the Huaxi Police Station gave it to me."
The group quickened their pace and arrived at the parking lot. Zhu Xiaojun took the pack of a brand of premium cigarettes from the back seat of the Xiaomi and handed it to Zheng Wenchang.
"Grandmaster, please hold onto this. This cigarette is very valuable now."
Zheng Wenchang only knew that the cigarette was of excellent quality when smoked, but he truly didn't know its current value.
"How much does a pack of these cigarettes cost?" Li Huifang was also curious.
"One hundred forty to one hundred fifty thousand," Zhu Xiaojun replied.
"That expensive?" Zheng Wenchang's family of three exclaimed almost in unison.
"No, no, this is too expensive a gift. How can I accept it? Lei Zhen, you should take it back," Zheng Wenchang said, but he clutched the cigarettes tightly.
Lei Zhen laughed. "Why would I take it back? I said this is for you to honor you."
"Then I won't be polite," Zheng Wenchang laughed heartily, hugging the cigarettes to his chest as if he were holding a grandchild.
Zheng Honglin's car was also parked in the open-air parking lot. Lei Zhen saw his master's family to the car. Before leaving, Zheng Wenchang instructed again, "Lei Zhen, you must be careful recently. Don't let him get any leverage on you."
"Don't worry, Master, I will."
After watching his master's family leave the parking lot, Lei Zhen turned to Zhu Xiaojun and said, "Let's go."
The two turned and walked back. Zhu Xiaojun asked, "Master, how do you think those two officials will trouble us?"
Lei Zhen laughed. "What are you afraid of? We were in the right today. Besides, what do the leaders of Beijiang District have to do with Nanwan District? We're not their subordinates. And I have Director Gu of the Municipal Bureau backing me up. What am I afraid of!"
Lei Zhen said this, but he knew in his heart that he wasn't Gu Wenhai's son-in-law yet, and if something really happened, he might not come out to protect him.
In fact, what he could truly rely on now was his system.
The abilities the system gave him were the foundation of his future standing.
And wouldn't you know it, as soon as he thought of the system, it appeared.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully solving the Tianxiang Company fraud case, earning 2360 system points and a cash reward of 500,000."
Lei Zhen paused. Over two thousand three hundred points, this reward was not small!
It seems catching bad guys really needs to be done in volume!
But it was also normal. When he was undercover before, he saw that the criminals' evil values were all single digits. The three hundred-plus people at Tianxiang headquarters added up to over two thousand points.
This also meant that the evil values of the fraudsters in the other eleven branch companies were not counted towards him.
However, Lei Zhen was very content. Besides, there was also a cash reward of 500,000!
"Congratulations to the host, the system has successfully upgraded to 2.0. The special ability store has been updated. The special item store is currently not open. Please wait patiently."
Successfully upgraded?
Lei Zhen was surprised and quickly opened the store panel.
The special ability store had indeed been updated, adding seven new skills, and each skill had a description below it.
"Super Combat: 1000 points. With this skill, even Tyson would kneel and call you 'Dad'."
"Super Stamina: 1000 points. Run fifty kilometers in one go without panting. Just say if it's strong or not. Friendly reminder: use this ability with caution in bed, it might be fatal."
"Super Speed: 1000 points. Easily run 100 meters in under ten seconds. Usain Bolt would only be left crying in front of you."
"Super Marksmanship: 1000 points. You can't use this ability to participate in the Olympics, because if you do, this event won't exist in the next Olympics."
"Super Physique: 1000 points. With this, you'll never be afraid of your girlfriend's whip again. Even if it turns red, your skin won't break."
"Super X-ray Vision: 1500 points. Use this ability with caution, because I'm afraid you won't have enough nosebleeds to spray."
"Super Self-Healing: 2000 points. Wounds quickly recover as before, and canker sores will no longer bother you!"
"Super Reaction: 2000 points. The reason we can't dodge bullets is that our reaction speed isn't fast enough. With this ability, Mom no longer has to worry about you getting shot."
Lei Zhen now had 4230 points, enough to buy several new skills.
And these skills were one more awesome than the last. If he bought them all, wouldn't he be invincible?
One person could even wipe out the Sakura Country!
Especially X-ray vision, that thing was every man's ultimate dream!
"Master, why are you grinning foolishly?" Zhu Xiaojun noticed Lei Zhen's strange expression.
Lei Zhen snapped back to reality and quickly closed the system. "Let's go, let's go, let's hurry home."
Upon returning home, Lei Zhen's first act was to open the system and, almost without hesitation, purchase "Super X-ray Vision."
But after buying it, he didn't feel any changes.
He looked down and discovered the clue, because he could actually see his own leopard-print boxers.
Lei Zhen tried several times and found that Super X-ray Vision could only see through one layer of clothing; anything inside that couldn't be seen.
"Is this even 'Super X-ray Vision'?" Lei Zhen was a little disappointed. If the other person wore three layers of clothes, wouldn't he not even be able to see their underwear?
At this point, the system came out to explain.
"Host, don't worry. To see through all clothes, you just need to upgrade to 'God-level X-ray Vision'."
"God-level X-ray Vision? It can still be upgraded?" Lei Zhen was surprised again. It seemed he still knew too little about the system.
"Can it be upgraded now?" Lei Zhen asked. If it could, he would add this ability even if he had to take out a loan.
"Not for now. Later, when the system updates to a certain stage, the upgrade function will be enabled."
Lei Zhen could only give up. One layer is one layer, it's enough for gawking... no, for investigating cases.
Next, Lei Zhen spent another 1000 points to purchase Super Combat, leaving him with 1730 points out of the four thousand.
He would save these points for a rainy day.
After buying Super Combat, Lei Zhen felt his muscles tighten, and many advanced combat techniques appeared in his mind.
He remembered when he competed with that female police officer during the last award ceremony, Lei Zhen almost couldn't beat her. But now, if he encountered that girl, Lei Zhen was confident he could pin her to the ground and rub her.
At this moment, Lei Zhen's personal panel also updated.
Name: Lei Zhen
Age: 22
Height: 180
Weight: 74 kg
Occupation: Police Officer [Third-Class Police Inspector]
Special Skills: Eye of Sin, Dogs Sense of Smell, Code Tracing Technique, Super Memory, Super Hearing, Super Combat, Super X-ray Vision
Money: 2,457,302
Evil Value Points: 1730
Lei Zhen closed the system with satisfaction. Just then, his WeChat notification sound rang.
He saw it was from Gu Qingcheng.
"Lei Zhen, aren't you home yet?"
Lei Zhen then remembered that he had forgotten to send a message to the beautiful Gu Qingcheng after returning.
Thinking of Gu Qingcheng, her curvaceous figure appeared before Lei Zhen's eyes.
To be honest, although Gu Qingcheng was naked last time, he didn't have the nerve to look closely. Now with X-ray vision, wouldn't he be able to see Gu Qingcheng's lingerie show at any time?
That... wouldn't that be a little too wonderful?!
For the first time in his life, Lei Zhen looked forward to going to work tomorrow.
