Shanhai University, president’s office.
Yuan Dongzhi sat in her chair, engaged in a video call with a trusted confidant from her family.
“Miss, in recent times, Origin Land No. 36 has been unusually peaceful, without disturbances for several months in a row. We don’t know whether the other side has given up on this channel or is scheming some major plan.”
On the computer screen, a short-haired woman with a valiant appearance was reporting to Yuan Dongzhi about the situation in Source Land No. 36.
Yuan Dongzhi nodded and asked, “How is Qianxue faring in the Origin Land lately? Is she adapting well?”
“Very well. She’s growing incredibly fast and is about to evolve to the Advanced Second Rank.”
“Hmm, she’s evolving faster than I expected.”
“Miss, just who is Qianxue? Why is her physique so special, so extraordinary that she doesn’t even seem like a person from Earth, as if we’re two different species.”
“Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t.”
“Yes, I’m sorry, Miss. It was thoughtless of me,” apologized the woman on the video, somewhat flustered.
Yuan Dongzhi said nothing more but remarked lightly, “Alright, I have a student duel to watch here, so I won’t talk any longer. You go ahead with your tasks.”
After speaking, she ended the video call and switched to the surveillance from the sports hall to watch the forthcoming duel.
It was the duel between the 9th ranked Mechanically Modified Human and the 8th ranked Genetic Integrator.
After spending some time watching the duel and seeing the Mechanically Modified Human emerge as the victor, Yuan Dongzhi couldn’t help feeling a bit surprised.
The Mechanism Group was stronger than she had imagined.
The adaptability of mechanical modifications held more advantage.
Regrettably, no matter how formidable mechanical modifications are, their limitations are still too great. They can only protect one’s home on Earth and cannot enter the Origin Land.
Once in the Origin Land, all electronic mechanical devices would malfunction, and even the most formidable Mechanically Modified Humans would be reduced to a bunch of scrap metal.
Elsewhere.
After watching the duel, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan left the sports hall shortly after.
One headed to the research institute to learn the Blood Tempering Technique.
The other went back to the dorm to train her strength.
Though they lived together, they each had their schedules, and their lives were no longer synchronized as before starting university.
Time passed quickly.
A few days later.
Friday afternoon after school.
Both packed their school bags and took a Didi ride home from the dorm.
The school was close to home, about an hour’s drive, and the hired car stopped at their house.
Zhang Wanxin was waiting outside the door early on.
Upon seeing them get out of the car, she greeted them with a beaming smile, telling them that she had made some snacks and squeezed some juice, and urged them to come inside and try them.
In the evening.
The two families gathered for dinner.
“This guy’s eyes are terrifying.”
“What is he doing?”
“He’s so handsome, but his gaze is a bit unsettling.”
Everyone scanned by Sky Eye felt as if they were mice being watched by an eagle, causing an inexplicable anxiety.
Several women thought Lin Zichen was handsome and wanted to approach him, but they were frightened and backed away by his Sky Eye.
“Kid, who are you glaring at!”
A burly man felt offended by Lin Zichen’s gaze and walked over with an unfriendly face to pick a fight.
Lin Zichen didn’t waste words with the man, simply unleashing his biological pressure to stun him, then turning to leave the red-light district for the next one.
This red-light district had already been searched once, and there was no sign of the suspicious target.
As for the possibility that the target might have shown up just as he left, resulting in a perfect miss.
That was certainly possible, but unavoidable; he could only hope that he was luckier and wouldn’t be so unlucky.
However, his luck seemed quite average tonight.
Throughout the rest of the night.
Lin Zichen systematically searched 10 red-light districts in a row, and didn’t encounter a single suspect.
And by this time, it was four in the morning.
Seeing it was so late, he had no choice but to go home to sleep, planning to continue his search the following night.
The next night.
Lin Zichen arrived on time at the red-light district and began his systematic search just like the night before.
After searching several red-light districts in succession, he found nothing.
Just as he was preparing to head to the next red-light district.
He encountered an acquaintance.
It was Ma Xiwei from the genius class.
By Ma Xiwei’s side, a man and a woman accompanied her.
The couple appeared to be in their twenties and were both Seventh Order in biological level, likely senior students from Shanhai University who came specially to accompany Ma Xiwei on the Cat Woman mission.
“How unlucky!”
Ma Xiwei also saw Lin Zichen, giving him not a hint of a friendly face, pulled a sulky expression, snorted coldly, and turned to leave with the two people beside her.
Once they were far from Lin Zichen, she stopped immediately and said to the two beside her, “Lin Zichen has also taken on the Cat Woman mission, and he must be here to find her as well. We have to find her before he does, to make his effort fruitless.”
“Leave it to me,” said the young man among them with confidence. “I have the gene of a demon hound fused with me, my sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and I can certainly find Cat Woman before he does.”
Just as he said this, the young man’s expression subtly changed.
He instinctively sniffed the air, then with a look of delight said, “I smell Cat Woman, she’s right inside that bar across the street!”
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiwei immediately became excited, “Then let’s go catch Cat Woman quickly. Later, we should bring Cat Woman in front of Lin Zichen and infuriate him!”
She had been holding a grudge about Lin Zichen swelling her face during the school trials and was eager to anger him—if possible, to disgust him utterly.
Quickly, the three of them rushed to the bar across the street to capture Cat Woman.
