I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes - Chapter 294

Chapter 294: [236] Acting so high-profile will get you eaten by me (asking for monthly passes and recommendations)_1
A quiet night passed.

At dawn,

Pei Jinye arrived at the Investigation Team’s Base to work as usual, signing in punctually at eight o’clock sharp.

As soon as he entered the lobby, he heard Xing Tian’s mechanical voice, “Good morning, Investigator Pei Jinye.”

“Thank you.”

Pei Jinye nodded his head in acknowledgment, and from a flower bed not far away, a head popped out.

“Woof woof (Right here, right here.).”

Pei Jinye looked over without showing any reaction.

A dog’s head was poking in and out of the flowers, panting with a bright red tongue, looking energetic and full of vitality.

Suddenly, Xing Tian’s voice rang in his ear, “Respected Investigator Pei Jinye, are you looking for something? I can offer assistance.”

“No need, thank you.”

“All right, you’re welcome, I wish you a wonderful day.”

Pei Jinye approached the flower bed, positioning himself cleverly with his back to the electronic eye… no one knew what he was doing at the flower bed at that moment.

And the Big Black Dog was shrinking its head.

Ever since last time, when its eyes had bulged out, it had completely heeded Pei Jinye’s previous warning and had been sneaking around every day, occasionally hiding in the flower bed to secretly cultivate.

“How’s your cultivation going?” Pei Jinye asked.

“Woof woof (I’m very strong now.).” The Big Black Dog wagged its tail rapidly as if it were a child waiting for a teacher’s praise.

Pei Jinye couldn’t help but laugh and asked in a low voice, “Do you have any other feelings?”

Upon hearing this, the Big Black Dog lowered its head with a thoughtful expression.

Pei Jinye watched the Big Black Dog with intense interest… resisting the urge to conduct experiments on the creature.

After all, it was something he had trained, who knew if it might become a trump card in the future.

However, Pei Jinye had seen so many animals and fierce beasts…

Aside from those higher life forms, it seemed that only this big chunk of black could make human-like expressions.

A moment passed.

The Big Black Dog hesitated, “Does wanting to have a harem count?”

Pei Jinye: “…”

It sounded like it should be neutered.

Before long, the Big Black Dog let out a scream.

“I don’t want to! I don’t!!! I refuse!!! You can’t do this!!!”

Pei Jinye: “…”

Passing investigators looked over suspiciously.

Pei Jinye patiently advised, “Focus on your cultivation, don’t think about all these unnecessary things.”

He was afraid that this dog would forget about training due to its lust for beauty, so he deliberately frightened it, “You’re not yet suitable for mating, you might harm your cultivation… you don’t want to lose your priority choice, right?”

The Big Black Dog nodded frantically, but it still felt a bit of a pity.

Pei Jinye cautioned again, “Keep a low profile, don’t show off in front of those police dogs for no reason. If they really catch you, there will be plenty of knives awaiting your little brothers.”

The Big Black Dog immediately squeezed its legs together, rubbing its head pleasingly against Pei Jinye’s palm.

“Big brother, I need your protection.”

Pei Jinye scolded with a smile, finally managing to scare the Big Black Dog into going back to its cultivation obediently. He then retracted his gaze and soon arrived on the second floor of the cafeteria.

Just as he appeared at the entrance.

The people inside the canteen seemed to have noticed something, and they all looked toward Pei Jinye.

“Old Pei!” Gu Wutong signaled with his hand, and Brother Kui also nodded and smiled at Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye responded with a smile.

He scanned the restaurant.

Zhou Ye hadn’t come today, probably having been pushed back to the hospital by Brother Bi.

Gu Wutong sat down in front of Pei Jinye, holding his bowl and chopsticks.

Pei Jinye looked up and said, “What are you looking at me for? Eat your food.”

“Old Pei, you’re being unfair,” Gu Wutong complained like a little wife who had been wronged.

“What did I do?” Pei Jinye paused mid-sip of his soy milk.

“The Gongsun family,” Gu Wutong revealed, hinting at three words.

Pei Jinye wouldn’t have minded if he hadn’t mentioned the Gongsun family, but upon hearing it, he looked up seriously, “Do you have a feud with the Gongsun family? I heard you made their girl cry by scolding her last night.”

“That woman’s mouth was asking for it, but… ” Gu Wutong chuckled, “You were harsher than me. I heard you went straight for the kill, turning her into a pig’s head with a beating?”

Pei Jinye shook his head and chuckled lightly, “Nonsense.”

Before Gu Wutong could say anything,

Pei Jinye suddenly added, “That woman deserved a hit, so I just gave her a punch.”

The two exchanged glances.

Gu Wutong dropped his playful demeanor, “Gongsun Qianfeng has arrived, and this guy is no ordinary person. He came specifically for you. From what Gongsun Liang implied, did the two of you arrange a fight?”

Pei Jinye slowly nodded as he chewed his food.

Gu Wutong hesitated over Pei Jinye’s attitude, “You… don’t you know much about Gongsun Qianfeng?”

Pei Jinye nodded.

Gu Wutong shook his head with a light laugh, “I thought I had come to understand you somewhat, but now it seems… You’re the real deal.”

Pei Jinye also shook his head with a light chuckle, “It’s no big deal. It’s just a fight, isn’t it?”

“Boss,” Gu Wutong gave a thumbs up and then lowered his voice to say, “Gongsun Qianfeng’s martial arts talent is very strong too, and while his extraordinary talent is of the Element Series, it’s quite formidable…

He’s one of the two people in these hundreds of years who resemble the strongest one from the past the most.

So, no one knows how many resources the Gongsun family has poured into him…

If you’re really going to fight him, be very careful.”

Pei Jinye suddenly asked, “One of the two? Who’s the other one?”

“His brother, his twin older brother, but he keeps a low profile,” Gu Wutong shook his head, “The outside world mostly believes that Gongsun Qianfeng will inherit the great cause of the Gongsun family and that his brother isn’t worth mentioning.”

Pei Jinye didn’t affirm nor deny.

“And…” Gu Wutong said in a low voice, “Based on what I know, he has two signature inherited techniques… One is to summon Ice Generals, that’s his extraordinary ability…

How should I put it, they might be fragile, but they’re difficult to handle… The Ice Generals don’t feel pain, and even if you shatter them, they can reform.”

After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, he went on, “Gongsun Qianfeng’s second technique is Ice Seal, which can freeze everything within a domain. It shares some similarities with the Transcendent Freezing… It’s a technique that was created by a powerhouse of the Gongsun family in the past. At the time, everyone thought that the Gongsun family had developed a second extraordinary power; it was quite sensational.”

Speaking, he looked up.

“Old Pei, Gongsun Qianfeng is no ordinary guy. No one knows how many inherited techniques the Gongsun family kept hidden nor how many Gongsun Qianfeng has inherited.

All I know is… when he faces an enemy, just by using these two moves, he can already kill them.”

Gu Wutong expressed his concerns.

However, Pei Jinye didn’t seem worried at all; on the contrary, he seemed to be more interested.

He still had that Wei family kid from before.

That kid had the Element·Freeze talent.

Never would I have imagined that another freezing fellow would show up.

Especially since Gu Wutong emphasized over and over that Gongsun Qianfeng was a prized elite looked after by the Gongsun family, if he were to be devoured…

Pei Jinye fell into thought, feeling somewhat restless.

Ever since he found out last night that someone from the Gongsun family had come looking, he hadn’t touched the memory of the terrifying creature again, so as not to affect his performance when the time came.

Without a ripple, he pulled up the attribute panel.

——

[Vitality Value]: 49.1-59.2

[Stamina]: 49-59.1

[Psychic Power]: 35-59 (Extraordinary Second Rank average attribute 30)

——

Although it had improved a lot compared to yesterday, Pei Jinye was still not satisfied.

Because this was not his peak condition.

As Pei Jinye was pondering this, Brother Bi had already arrived at the restaurant, sat down with his plate, and peeled an egg as he said, “What are you chatting about that’s got you so excited?”

Gu Wutong grinned and said, “Brother Bi, you’re glowing today, something good happen?”

“Not a damn good thing,” Brother Bi cursed with a laugh: “Just got my medical report back, nothing’s wrong. Oh right, Jinye, we’re going on patrol to Xinjian Road later.”

“How timely, our Team Seven also has a mission nearby,” Gu Wutong said, grinning.

“Lately Team Seven doesn’t seem to be taking missions very frequently,” Brother Bi observed.

Gu Wutong pursed his lips: “It’s not about the quantity, but the quality of missions. We’ve got a big case this time… You guys still remember Gu Shaoshang, right?”

Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow: “That guy is still in Da Peng City, he didn’t run off?”

Gu Wutong shook his head: “Don’t know what’s going on, this guy has started to clash with his old boss, Heaven God International. Blasted up two warehouses of Heaven God International last night, and now we’ve taken up the case.”

Pei Jinye was taken aback.

If he remembered correctly, when he had framed Gu Shaoshang, he thought Heaven God International would protect this brother… now they’ve turned on each other?

Such a bizarre turn of events.

It wasn’t long.

Gu Wutong left with the people from Team Seven.

Pei Jinye turned to Brother Bi: “Zhou Ye isn’t coming today?”

“Not letting him,” Brother Bi said, shaking his head and cursing with a laugh: “This guy, when he came back yesterday, the painkiller wore off, and he was howling in my car so much that he summoned the Night Patrol Department.”

Pei Jinye chuckled softly.

“He should take the time to heal.”

“No kidding, damn stubborn fool, what’s a bonus worth? Fortifying his prosthetics once costs hundreds, the bonuses he gets won’t even cover his expenses.”

Soon, the two of them went on the usual patrol.

Nothing happened for two hours.

As it neared eleven o’clock, the two parted ways as if by some unspoken agreement.

Pei Jinye seemed to have made up his mind.

After making a round from the alley, he appeared in a warehouse with the face of a high-level executive from Heaven God International.

“Manager Guo…”

“Hypnosis!”

Before the housekeeper could say anything, he was directly hypnotized by Pei Jinye.

“Turn off the surveillance, then open the door to the vault.”

“Sorry, Manager Guo, this door also requires Mr. Sang’s iris verification to open…”

“Troublesome.”

“Bang!”

The iron wall was directly broken through.

Pei Jinye strode inside.

All the surveillance equipment was already turned off.

Pei Jinye advanced forward and looked at the storage rooms brimming with goods, sighing.

“Only by relying on my own hardworking hands can I create wealth—such is the life of a wage earner.”

Before leaving,

Pei Jinye suddenly showed up in front of the warehouse manager with Gu Shaoshang’s face.

“Gao, do you still recognize your Grandpa Gu?”

A punch went down.

…

…

Elsewhere in Heaven God International,

Exquisite instruments were violently smashed to pieces.

Glass shards scattered in all directions.

The reporting confidential clerk kept his head down, not daring to speak.

Mr. Sang’s face was stern: “What exactly does Gu Shaoshang want to do!!! When we brought him into the company, I was the one most against it, and what now? Do you still expect such a royal screw-up to stay loyal to the company?”

The confidential clerk kept his head down and silent.

After a moment, Mr. Sang shouted angrily: “Tell headquarters! Gu Shaoshang is suspected of colluding with Huan Ling, and the organization behind them is still unclear!”

“Yes!”

…

…

Meanwhile, within the back mountain of the Jiang family,

The midday sun penetrated the chilly breeze, falling into this lush forest.

A figure sitting cross-legged in meditation was cultivating his powers,

In front of him, the attribute panel showed soaring data.

[Vitality Value +1+1+1…]

[Stamina +1+1+1…]

[Psychic Power +1+1+1…]

Eating heartily,

His three attribute values skyrocketed.

Pei Jinye slowly opened his eyes,

His face brimming with a smile.

“Indeed, it’s by relying on one’s own diligent hands that one can truly become rich…”

…

(PS It’s finally out, woohoo)
