111: Battery level surged by 70%! I'm a little nervous about being forced to become stronger!

Time passed, minute by minute.

In a flash, it was two days later.

The chaos at the Qin Family Fortress was swiftly suppressed under Qin Hai's iron-fisted methods and the deterrence of the Dragon Shield Bureau.

The monsters inside the fortress were cleared out, the hardliners who sided with Qin Shan were imprisoned, and everything was developing towards a state of revival.

The new Clan Chief, without a doubt, fell to Qin Hai.

At this moment.

Inside the room where Lin Yuan was.

"Buzz—"

A wave of energy radiated from within the room.

Su Wanqing, who was guarding the door, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Click."

The door opened.

Lin Yuan yawned as he walked out, stretching.

"Ah..."

"That was a good sleep."

He looked refreshed, his previous weakness and fatigue completely gone.

Su Wanqing's gaze swept over him, her brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.

This guy... his aura was more than just one level stronger than two days ago.

"You..."

"Adjutant Su, good morning," Lin Yuan greeted with a grin, "Thank you for your hard work as my Protector. I'll ask Director Zhou to give you a bonus later."

Su Wanqing: "..."

She was too lazy to correct his address anymore.

"Has your energy recovered?" she asked.

"Recovered?" Lin Yuan pouted, secretly opening his System panel to take a look.

"divine body electricity level: 70%"

"Realm: Surging Current Realm (High-tier)"

Hey.

Not just recovered.

It was a huge harvest!

Those three treasures, especially that Millennium Thunder Heart Fruit, had terrifyingly pure energy.

Not only did it boost his divine body electricity level from 1% directly to 70%, but it also made his Realm soar like a rocket, breaking through two stages consecutively!

From C-rank Beginner, he directly rushed to C-rank High-tier!

He was just one step away from B-rank!

"More than just recovered," Lin Yuan felt delighted, but his words were spoken as if it were only natural.

"Routine operation, routine operation."

"Mainly, those 'evidence' items had a rather special energy composition. In order to 'sample and analyze' them, I accidentally absorbed a bit too much."

He looked at Su Wanqing, seriously adding, "You must write clearly in the report that I was forced to become stronger for work."

Su Wanqing looked at him expressionlessly.

"People from the Kunlun Branch Bureau have arrived," she directly changed the topic, "They are waiting for you at the Kunlun Pavilion."

"Kunlun Branch Bureau?" Lin Yuan was startled.

The Dragon Shield Bureau's four strongest branch bureaus were named after legendary divine mountains.

They were Penglai of the East Sea, Kunlun of the Western Regions, Buzhou of the Northern Territory, and Guixu of the Southern Frontier.

Each one was a colossal entity guarding its respective region.

The snow mountain where the Qin Family was located fell under the jurisdiction of the Kunlun Branch Bureau of the Western Regions.

"They arrived quite quickly," Lin Yuan muttered, "I thought I could slack off for a few more days."

He stretched his limbs, feeling an inexhaustible surge of energy throughout his body.

"Alright then, let's go meet them."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he naturally leaned towards Su Wanqing.

"What are you doing?" Su Wanqing immediately stepped back, looking at him warily.

"Help me up," Lin Yuan said self-righteously, "I just finished 'analyzing' the evidence, and my body is still a bit weak; I can't walk properly."

Su Wanqing: "..."

She pointed at Lin Yuan's radiant face.

"You call this weak?"

"Guilty conscience," Lin Yuan said solemnly, "When I see a leader, I feel a guilty conscience and weak legs. This is a psychological ailment that requires the support of a comrade to overcome."

Su Wanqing took a deep breath, then turned and walked away.

"Come or don't come."

"Hey, don't!" Lin Yuan quickly followed, "Just kidding, Adjutant Su, why are you so sensitive to teasing?"

The two walked one after another towards the Kunlun Pavilion.

Along the way, Qin Family disciples could be seen everywhere, clearing debris and repairing buildings.

When they saw Su Wanqing and Lin Yuan, they all stopped their work and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Officer Su!"

"Greetings, Supervisor Lin!"

Lin Yuan walked with his hands behind his back and his chest puffed out, clearly adopting the air of a leader inspecting work, nodding occasionally.

"Comrades, you've worked hard!"

"Keep up the good work; the organization has high hopes for you!"

Su Wanqing's pace quickened a bit.

She wanted to get away from this embarrassing guy.

Lin Yuan, however, didn't mind; he felt great now.

After upgrading, his Electromagnetic Induction range and accuracy had received an epic boost.

The entire Qin Family Fortress, along with the snow rabbits on the surrounding snow mountains, and even the path of every underground circuit, formed an incredibly clear three-dimensional map in his mind.

"Tsk, this feeling..."

"It's like having a full map hack."

He could even "see" those unfamiliar but exceptionally powerful energy signals in the Kunlun Pavilion.

Those must be the people from the Kunlun Branch Bureau.

However.

Just as they were about to reach the Kunlun Pavilion.

Lin Yuan's smile suddenly faltered slightly.

Two discordant "noise points" appeared on his "map."

On a snow mountain ridge about one kilometer behind them, to their left.

There were two extremely restrained auras.

Those two auras were like two stones in the snow; if he hadn't just upgraded and his senses weren't at their peak, he wouldn't have discovered them at all.

What was interesting was that...

The moment Lin Yuan's "gaze" swept over them.

Those two "stones" moved.

They seemed to have detected being spied upon and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately began to retreat, preparing to merge into the vast snowy mountains.

"What's wrong?"

Su Wanqing, who was walking ahead, noticed Lin Yuan's pause and turned to ask.

"Nothing."

Lin Yuan's tone was still that lazy, languid one.

"Saw two sneaky mice."

"Just wanted to say hello."

Before he finished speaking.

"Zzzzz—!"

A flash of electricity exploded beneath his feet.

Su Wanqing only felt a blur before her eyes.

Lin Yuan's figure had disappeared from beside her!

So fast!

Almost simultaneously.

On the distant, silent snow mountain ridge.

"Not good, we've been discovered! Retreat!"

The Apocalypse Society member code-named "Blackbird" had just let out a low growl when a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, pinning him and his companion firmly in place.

The two looked up in horror, only to see two streaks of black-purple lightning tearing through the sky, rapidly expanding in their vision, with an aura of destruction rushing towards them.

"How is this possible... from a kilometer away..."

This was the last thought that flashed through their minds.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two bolts of lightning crashed down, completely engulfing their figures along with their final moments of terror.

Su Wanqing turned back sharply to look.

She saw two charred humanoid imprints on the pristine white ridge.

Two wisps of smoke were rising.

The next second.

"Zzzzz."

With a flash of electricity.

Lin Yuan's figure reappeared beside her, as if he had never left.

He clapped his hands, as if dusting off some invisible dust.

"Done, work's over."

Su Wanqing stared at him blankly, then looked at the two plumes of black smoke on the distant ridge, her mind momentarily blank.

"You..."

"What did you do?"

"Oh," Lin Yuan's expression was as relaxed as if he had casually squashed two flies.

"Nothing much, just helped two friends with a physical internet detox, and incidentally tested the accuracy of my new skill's trajectory."

He looked at Su Wanqing's shocked expression and grinned.

"Looks like the effect isn't bad."
