…

Inside the car.

"Although Qiao Yuan is quite capable, the boss asked us two to come together. Isn't he overestimating him?" said the deaf man who was driving.

For a fourth-level awakener, either of them has the power to kill alone, even a fourth-level alien spirit.

By joining forces, they have a high probability of escaping even if they encounter a fifth-level awakener.

The blind co-pilot's expression turned serious.

"We can't be careless, otherwise the lab wouldn't have sold such a perfect test piece to the boss!"

After noticing what the blind man said, the deaf man looked at the figure in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"Those people in the lab are truly perverted. They even dare to experiment with alien spirits... But I have to say, these products they make are very popular, especially the perfect-level alien spirits. Many people want to buy them but can't."

After a two-second pause, the deaf man added.

“It’s just too expensive!”

The cost of this fourth-level alien spirit is as high as tens of billions, and there are discounts.

Perfect products and defective products have nothing to do with strength, they only represent safety.

Defective products have uncontrollable factors and can easily get out of control during use, but perfect-level test products do not have this defect.

Products like this are really hard to come by!

…

The blind co-pilot sighed and continued, "It can't be said to be perfect. These created spirits have a fatal flaw: they consume a lot of energy!"

"I seriously suspect those guys in the lab left this flaw intentionally. They even said it wouldn't require energy replenishment for normal combat and would recover on its own... What a lie! You bought this thing because it's fearless and can handle high-intensity combat!"

As he spoke, the blind man opened a tool box, which contained several bottles of blue liquid.

"Just these few bottles of special energy fluid cost us tens of millions. They make more money than the ace technician in my base!"

"What's even more outrageous is... isn't this just spiritual fluid?! They just changed the packaging, added some pigment... and claimed it was some kind of energy fluid, with all the post-battle maintenance and inspection stuff..."

"These guys have taken business to the extreme. They're so profitable, no wonder so many awakened people are scrambling to join them!"

…

The deaf man remained silent because the blind man was right.

There are only a few legal ways to make money, but there are many illegal ways, and they are very profitable...

The laboratory is undoubtedly the biggest illegal one!

And the Security Bureau can't do anything about it.

When one batch of laboratory bases is cleared, a new batch will appear. As long as humans exist, there will always be people who find ways to take risks!

Because of the benefits, many people are willing to cover up for this.

…

"With the strength of the two of us, plus the power of this test subject, even if we face most fifth-level awakeners, the outcome is unpredictable!"

"The only thing I can't figure out is..." The deaf man in the driver's seat looked through the rearview mirror again.

This time his target is the trunk!

"Why do you think the boss wants us to bring that kind of stuff?"

"That kind of thing is very evil!"

"I heard it caused quite a stir overseas. If it wasn't handled promptly, half the city would have been buried with it..."

In the trunk, a long wooden box was placed quietly.

The blind man's ears moved, and he turned his head, his empty eye sockets facing the trunk.

"It's really evil!"

"But the boss said, never underestimate anyone. If you don't make a move, it's fine. But once you do, you must go all out!"

"Anyway... let's first see if Qiao Yuan's strength is as strong as the legend says. He's only at level four... it's not like we haven't killed him before!"

"If it doesn't work out, go with the experimental subject and ask the boss to reimburse you later!"

"As for this weird thing...it's best not to use it!"

"Only a deaf person like you can use this kind of thing for a while. If it were me... I would definitely die!"

Clang~

The car drove over a deep pothole and the body of the car began to shake.

In the trunk, the wooden box was accidentally shaken open.

What's inside is revealed.

A knife!

A knife in its scabbard!

…

Liyang City.

Within the community.

After several nights of hard work, Li Xiaoling successfully advanced to the fourth level.

Thump thump

As the door opened, Li Xiaoling, wearing secretary uniform and high heels, came out with a cool and inviolable look, holding documents.

"Qiao Yuan, I have sorted out all the information you asked me to sort out."

In the living room, Qiao Yuan, whose body was glowing with golden light, nodded.

Ever since he handed over the secretarial work to Li Xiaoling, he has had an easier time finding sources of intelligence.

No wonder those big bosses like to have a secretary.

When there is something to do, the secretary does it, when there is nothing to do, the secretary is pulled...

But...who did Li Xiaoling learn to wear this outfit from?

Dress so formally?

Forget it, it’s their freedom to wear whatever they want, I can’t control it, even if they don’t wear it.

"Just tell me the important points!" Qiao Yuan said.

Li Xiaoling nodded.

…

"First, because you've been patrolling all night these past few days, there are basically no bloodthirsty spirits left in Liyang City..."

"Secondly, regarding the Qin City secret realm you asked me to focus on, we've received news that some hunters from the Hunter Alliance are gathering there. Furthermore... there are also some alien spirits heading there..."

“…”

"Sixth, according to intelligence from the Security Bureau, the guy who calls himself Pudu Cihang has issued a 'summon' order."
