Chapter 166: [147] Attribute Light Group! Back to the Pinnacle (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions)_1
Upon returning home, Pei Jinye immediately took out the Blood Spirit Fruit stored in the refrigerator, removed the packaging box, washed it in the kitchen, and swallowed it directly.

Just as he was heading back to his room, he bumped into Father Pei, who was groggily making his way to the bathroom.

“Hungry?”

“Nothing much, just eating something random. I’m heading back to sleep.”

Father Pei didn’t think much of it, yawning and wrapping himself in a coat to go to the bathroom.

Pei Jinye returned to his bedroom, gently closed the door, and stealthily took out two bottles of the Blue Potion from the safe.

Looking at the dwindling supplies, Pei Jinye couldn’t help but sigh in helplessness.

“Millions worth of supplies only lasted so few days.”

Strictly speaking, if he hadn’t been devouring so frequently these past two days, the consumption wouldn’t have been so great.

He would like to fleece the Investigation Team every day, but regretfully he hadn’t encountered any criminals, and without cause for injury, he couldn’t claim so much in resources.

The higher-ups were not fools, after all.

“Starting tomorrow, I’ll find some criminals… You can’t get injured without a fight.”

Practicing”Big Dream for Thousands of Autumns”, the room gradually became tranquil.

The drizzling rain outside the window seemed to intensify, the rain shrouding the entirety of Da Peng City, the sound of the falling rain quietly masking the city’s other sounds.

 

“Morning.”

“Morning.”

At the base, Pei Jinye had just arrived when he was greeted and nodded to the team member from Squad Two who had returned with him last night.

“Have you eaten? The canteen still has noodles and buns.” Zhou Ye’s eyes were somewhat red, and his eye bags were heavy, seemingly due to waiting for the upcoming recognition, he had hardly rested last night.

“I ate before coming.” Pei Jinye looked up and asked, “Why is it still under martial law this morning?”

Zhou Ye looked around suspiciously at the fully armed other team members, “Maybe it’s because of the suspect we caught yesterday…”

Pei Jinye glanced around briefly and didn’t pay much mind.

But before he could leave, a glimpse from the corner of his eye suddenly froze him in place.

Attribute Light Group!

“What’s wrong?” When Zhou Ye saw Pei Jinye suddenly stop, he looked over in confusion, only to see Pei Jinye change direction and head straight there, his expression slightly changing.

“Damn it, Old Pei, don’t go over there!”

 

The high-ranking members of the Investigation Team were talking with two men and women in trench coats adorned with Bauhinia Medals when they suddenly saw a young member of the team approach and then…bend down to tie his shoelaces???

Everyone exchanged puzzled looks.

Pei Jinye stood up, as if he hadn’t noticed anything wrong, and walked away.

 

The man in the trench coat glanced and withdrew his gaze, not thinking it relevant.

However, the woman in the trench coat with fair skin took an interested look at Pei Jinye and suddenly said, “Is he a practitioner of Ancient Martial arts?”

“No.”

The Investigation Team’s higher-ups only knew he wasn’t that troublemaking demon of Ancient Martial arts, but they were clueless about who Pei Jinye really was.

 

“You’re so cool!”

Zhou Ye saw Pei Jinye walking over without looking back and silently gave him a thumbs up.

Pei Jinye responded casually, “What’s up?”

In fact, his entire attention was on the attribute panel from just now.

[Attribute Points +10]

He didn’t listen clearly to what Zhou Ye was saying, as Pei Jinye secretly started to study his attribute panel.

[Vitality Value]: 15-15.6;

[Stamina]: 16.1-16.2 (average value for a normal person 1);

[Psychic Power]: 10.2-20.8;

 

“For just one Extraordinary-Human Genes, Vitality and stamina have dropped so much, is it really worth it?”

“Worth it!”

Pei Jinye grinned.

Vitality and stamina that had slipped could be replenished.

But missing a good Extraordinary-Human Gene was a true loss.

The ten attribute points he had just received saved Pei Jinye a lot of trouble.

The data refreshed.

The Vitality Value limit rose to 20.6, and the physical strength limit likewise increased to 21.2.

“The feeling of being back at 20 is truly wonderful.”

“What did you say?” Zhou Ye suddenly heard Pei Jinye muttering and looked over in confusion.

Pei Jinye smiled inconspicuously, “I said, you better check the team channel to see if the chief has posted the reward notice.”

Zhou Ye’s attention was indeed diverted.

Soon he exclaimed with delight, “He did, he did, a collective Third Class Merit, an extra three thousand yuan in salary at the end of the month.”

“Did that suspect from last night confess?” Pei Jinye was skeptical.

If they were from the Old Gods Association, he might suspect that an Elder had arranged a scapegoat, but the person was clearly from the Starfire Army.

He had never dealt with the Starfire Army before.

Soon, in Squad Two’s meeting room.

Previously, this place could almost be filled up, but now half of it was empty.

Pei Jinye retracted his gaze, sat next to Zhou Ye, and listened as the fellow raised his hand, “Captain, was that young lady last night really the murderer?”

But Qiu Hezi shook his head, “Probably not. However, her motives were not simple either; just by her actions last night, she would have been skinned even if not killed…”

“Are you sure she was from the Starfire Army? Although the organization is weaker than the Old Gods Association, they have always been united and present a common front…” a robust man hesitated, “If the Starfire Army finds out that we’ve captured one of their own, I’m worried…”

The others couldn’t help but glance at each other.

“No matter how brazen the Starfire Army is, would they dare to attack our base?” someone scoffed.

“Yeah, aren’t they taking themselves too seriously?”

“Isn’t the Starfire Army always entrenched in the Western Continent? Why the hell did they make their way to our Central State all of a sudden?”

Qiu Hezi looked at the people gathered and said in a deep voice, “Don’t let your guard down. The Starfire Army, when mad, might be even more formidable than the Old Gods Association. As for why they’ve appeared in Da Peng City, the investigation is still ongoing; do not divulge even half a word to the outside world.”

Everyone nodded.

Qiu Hezi’s expression cleared slightly: “The cause of Chief Xie’s death is still under investigation, but it’s too soon for optimism… I just finished the morning meeting when Central Continent Headquarters nearly started pointing fingers and cursing at us. About the next steps in management, as of today, we will be ‘loose on the outside but tight on the inside.’ I hope you all can understand…

After all, it’s clear that members of the Old Gods Association are in Da Peng City, and now we have people from the Starfire Army too. Crucially, we don’t have any clarity on their numbers, strongholds, or even their purpose for appearing in Da Peng City.”

Qiu Hezi slowed his voice, contemplating his own words as he spoke.

“They wanted to kill Chief Xie, and we now need to investigate the reason. We need to look into Chief Xie’s relationships, both current and past—this is also the task handed down from above.”

 

Pei Jinye sat quietly at his spot, watching everyone speculate about Xie Zuxin’s cause of death, feeling like an author observing students analyze a paragraph.

He silently watched everyone, standing up to leave only when Qiu Hezi announced the “end of meeting.”

Suddenly, a young man beside him stood up quickly and chased after him: “Captain Qiu.”

Qiu Hezi stopped walking and, with a smile, said, “I’m just the acting captain; just call me Old Qiu.”

“Captain Qiu is too modest. In our second group, who could be more suitable for this position than you?” said the young man as he walked and chatted with Qiu Hezi.

Inside the meeting room.

Pei Jinye suddenly heard Zhou Ye’s disdain from beside him: “Damn, what a suck-up.”

Noticing Pei Jinye looking over, Zhou Ye smirked and said nothing more, started gathering his things and began his investigation.

Pei Jinye did not join the investigative action. This time, Qiu Hezi had selected only a few people.

After all, just a few people were needed to investigate personal relationships.

Pei Jinye then went to the training ground alone.

And started practicing the Play of Five Animals.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wutong arrived even earlier than him.

Neither disturbed the other, both focusing on their own training.

 

Steam rose from Pei Jinye’s head. Setting aside Vitality and Physical strength, the mere comfort brought by improved physical coordination was a pleasant surprise.

Ever since he began practicing the Play of Five Animals.

His control over his body had become even clearer than before.

Especially after the consecutive battles of the past two days, he distinctly felt the immense convenience that coordination could bring. Clearly, during high-speed combat, he could seize the initiative more often.

In high-level confrontations, the initiative was incredibly important.

Just like in last night’s battle with Yang Qingdan. The opponent’s spiritual power was stronger than his, and they had more combat experience. But because Pei Jinye had seized the initiative, he eventually found the opportunity to trigger the Yuanli Button and take down the opponent, which wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.

If Yang Qingdan had treated Pei Jinye as a mortal enemy the night before and not given Pei Jinye a moment to breathe and calculate, then it might have been Yang Qingdan standing here instead of Pei Jinye now.

 

“How long have you been practicing the Play of Five Animals? You seem even better at it than me,” Gu Wutong asked curiously as Pei Jinye finished his practice.

Pei Jinye wiped off his sweat and casually responded, “Is your group not very busy lately?”

“Not really, I just have too much time on my hands,” Gu Wutong said with a smile. “How about a round?”

Pei Jinye looked around and tossed his towel aside.

“Sure.”

Gu Wutong laughed loudly and charged forward immediately.

Pei Jinye countered with strength.

Both tacitly refrained from using any Transcendent abilities, clashing with their mere Physical Body Strength.

 

Thirty minutes later.

Dust was flying everywhere.

Pei Jinye blocked Gu Wutong’s knee strike with his hand and countered with a back push.

Just as Gu Wutong’s figure started to retreat, he stamped his feet fiercely into the ground, sinking the earth by three centimeters, and let out a roar as he countercharged.

The two separated as soon as they touched.

“Have you already undergone Bone Forging?” Gu Wutong asked in surprise.

“Not yet,” Pei Jinye shook his arm.

Although not yet, he was close.

Hearing this, Gu Wutong looked at his red arm, paused, and gave a thumbs-up: “Impressive.”

“You’re impressive too,” Pei Jinye said, noticing the ringing from the clothes on the lawn next to him, and walked over.

Gu Wutong chuckled: “That sounds pretty perfunctory.”

But seeing that Pei Jinye was busy, he didn’t distract him further.

Pei Jinye stood next to his clothes and picked up the call. Sun San cautiously said over the phone, “Brother Pei, there’s something I think I should tell you… There was a man last name Kim who was looking for Uncle Pei. He said he was an old classmate and wanted to rent a shop… Now this son of a bitch somehow got some advice, and he’s been contacting a bunch of merchants lately. I’m still looking into the specifics of what he’s up to, something to do with fees. If they start causing a ruckus about lowering rates, it will inevitably affect the Elder’s revenue.”

Pei Jinye frowned slightly: “Warn them to behave.”

“Yes…” Sun San had barely finished speaking when Pei Jinye suddenly said, “Never mind, kick them out as soon as you confirm the facts. If they dare to talk back, get tough. You don’t need me to teach you how to make an example of one to warn a hundred.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Pei. I love dealing with these ungrateful bastards!”

After hanging up, Pei Jinye turned around. From the side, Gu Wutong was waving and said, “How about we grab a meal? My treat.”

“No thanks, I need to make a trip out.”

After Pei Jinye left, Gu Wutong couldn’t help feeling regretful.

And not far away,

Brother Kui stood behind a woman with jet-black hair, smiling and saying, “Captain, you think Pei Jinye is a promising prospect, right?”

The woman, tilting her head, actually started dozing off.

Brother Kui chuckled wryly.

He could only look up at the retreating figure of Pei Jinye and reflect.

Just then, the woman suddenly yawned, turned around, and dropped a line: “If you want to give him a hand, just go for it. No need to drag me here to catch a cold for nothing.”

Brother Kui instantly felt rebuffed.
