299: Chapter 299 A Rare stroke of good luck

At the same time, Qin Yi also returned to the 33rd floor.

His parents must have already fallen asleep by now. Qin Yi walked lightly through the hallway. As he passed Qin Xiaoyue's room, he could faintly hear the sounds of Honor of Kings through the door.

Qin Yi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, didn't Xiao Yue take his second uncle and aunt to the hotel? Why didn't she stay there directly? How did she get back so quickly?

Qin Yi didn't go in to disturb her and went straight to his room, closing the door behind him. He took off his jacket and walked into the bathroom.

After a quick rinse, Qin Yi didn't bother to change into clothes. He lay down on the bed shirtless, a hint of laziness in his expression.

It was already the early hours of the morning, just the right time for the daily lucky draw. Plus, with the System reward from saving Zhang Min today, he had an extra draw. He couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation.

"System, start today's lucky draw." Qin Yi closed his eyes, his consciousness slowly sinking into his Sea of Consciousness, his tone carrying a hint of excitement and expectation.

As soon as he finished speaking, the lottery wheel appeared in his Sea of Consciousness and began to turn slowly. Qin Yi held his breath, his eyes narrowing slightly as he waited for the gift of fate.

After a short while, the lottery wheel finally stopped, and the System notification sounded immediately after.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host. In today's draw, you have obtained a special item—one intermediate skill upgrade card. It has been placed in the System Space!]

"Whoa, such good luck?" The corners of Qin Yi's mouth curled up uncontrollably, and his eyes lit up. He was secretly delighted; this was the first time he had drawn an intermediate skill upgrade card! He couldn't help but start pondering in his heart which skill he should upgrade first...

Just then, the System notification sounded again within his Sea of Consciousness.

[Ding! The host still has one lottery draw remaining. Would you like to continue?]

"Continue." Qin Yi focused his mind, deciding to finish his draws first.

The lottery wheel spun once more. Qin Yi was highly concentrated, his eyes fixed on the wheel as if afraid he might miss some rare treasure.

Before long, the System notification finally rang out.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host. One lottery draw consumed. You have obtained a special skill—Craft Master!]

As the System notification ended, an influx of countless craft techniques instantly flooded into Qin Yi's Sea of Consciousness. The sheer volume and complexity of the content made him feel dizzy for a moment, and his head throbbed with pain.

Qin Yi couldn't help but frown, his hands subconsciously rubbing his temples to try and alleviate the discomfort.

After about three to five minutes, the discomfort gradually faded. Qin Yi took a deep breath, his eyes filled with curiosity and excitement as he looked at the System: "System, introduce the Craft Master skill!"

[Ding! Craft Master can be applied to any item! Once the Craft Master skill is activated, the host will obtain the manufacturing process, technical parameters, formulas, processing methods, and the raw Materials required for any component of the target item.]

[Friendly reminder to the host: Craft Master is a Divine-Grade skill. Using this skill requires the consumption of the host's Mental Energy. The higher the value and the more precise the craftsmanship of the target item, the more Mental Energy the host will consume!]

Qin Yi's eyebrows shot up, his eyes widening as an expression of disbelief crossed his face. "Holy crap, a Divine-Grade skill? Nice one, System! I told you I had explosive luck today, like I'm possessed by the Gacha King!"

Qin Yi was so excited he almost jumped out of bed. He waved his hands around instinctively before quickly pulling them back, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. "By the way, System, with this skill, does that mean I can dismantle the Miniature Bionic Tracker?"

[Ding! Replying to the host: The Rank of the Miniature Bionic Tracker is so high and its components so precise that the host's Mental Energy is not yet sufficient to perform reverse engineering on it! Additionally, another friendly reminder: if Mental Energy is consumed too quickly, the host may experience physical discomfort, dizziness, nausea, or even coma and shock! Therefore, please do not use it lightly.]

Qin Yi's expression instantly became solemn, the corners of his mouth drooping slightly as a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. "Uh, that's a bit much? Then I'd better find a simple item to experiment with first."

Qin Yi rolled over and scanned his bedroom, his gaze finally landing on the phone on his nightstand.

He reached out and picked up the phone, weighing it in his hand a few times as if assessing its difficulty. Then he nodded with a certain degree of confidence: "I'll try it on the phone! System, use the Craft Master skill on the phone!"

With a "ding" from the System, a magical light screen appeared in Qin Yi's Sea of Consciousness.

On the screen, the phone was instantly dismantled, and one component after another was displayed before Qin Yi's eyes. He stared intently at the screen, a slight smile on his lips, his eyes full of curiosity and excitement: "Damn, the visuals are so realistic!"

Once all the components had been displayed, the System notification sounded again.

[Ding! Please specify a component for reverse engineering!]

Qin Yi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said confidently, "Then it's definitely got to be the core component first. System, perform reverse engineering on the CPU!"

[Ding! With the host's current Mental Energy, a complete reverse engineering cannot be performed. Does the host wish to continue?]

Qin Yi's expression instantly became awkward. His mouth twitched, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Uh... wait, how about the casing first? That should be fully traceable, right?"

[Ding! Reverse engineering is about to begin...]

As the System notification ended, the light screen before Qin Yi changed. The manufacturing process, key technical points, and raw Materials for the phone's casing were all listed by category.

Qin Yi's gaze was instantly captivated. Especially when the System also provided the development direction for phone casings for the next ten years and technical points for improvement, his eyes shone like stars. He couldn't help but swallow hard, a hint of greed appearing on his face: "With all this data, as long as the funding is in place, I could completely open a factory. Even if I don't produce phone cases, starting a metal Materials-related industry would be no problem at all!"

However, just as he was immersed in this excitement, the System notification sounded again.

[Ding! The host's Mental Energy is about to be exhausted. Please find a safe position to lie down as soon as possible.]

Qin Yi's face instantly turned pale, his eyes wide with shock: "Damn it, reverse engineering a single phone case exhausts my Mental Energy? What would happen if I tried a chip? System, what about all this data?"

[Ding! All data will be packaged and stored in the System Space. If needed, the host can retrieve it at any time! The host's Mental Energy is insufficient; loss of consciousness imminent. Countdown: 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...]

As the System notification ended, Qin Yi's consciousness began to blur and his body gradually grew weak. He tried hard to stay awake, but in the end, he couldn't hold on. His body slumped back heavily onto the bed. His breathing gradually became steady as he fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next morning, in the underground Safe House of the Security Bureau Modu Branch, Ye Qingcheng and Zhang Min had already been talking all night.

Ye Qingcheng leaned back in her chair and rubbed her aching brow, a hint of fatigue in her eyes. Zhang Min sat opposite her, hands cuffed to the edge of the table. Her head was slightly lowered and her hair was a bit messy, but her eyes held a glimmer of relief.

Although Ye Qingcheng hadn't been able to get Boss Lei's specific location from Zhang Min, the clues she provided basically matched what Chen Mo had said.

This at least showed that Chen Mo hadn't hidden anything. Ye Qingcheng believed that based on the clues provided by the two of them, and by deploying more personnel, it shouldn't take long to find Boss Lei's general location.

Furthermore, from Zhang Min's mouth, Ye Qingcheng had also verified one of her own questions.

And that was: Chu Weiguo's brother—Chu Weimin—really was still alive!

But if Chu Weimin was still alive, then who was the person Chu Weiguo buried back then? Why was Chu Weimin so single-mindedly intent on seeking revenge against Chu Weiguo? What secrets were hidden between the two Chu brothers? She wondered how her grandfather would react if he knew this news.

Ye Qingcheng thought to herself, momentarily dazed.
