"I don't feel like explaining anymore. Don't bother me, I want to learn reasoning skills from him."
Lu Zhiwei ignored Qin Yi and looked eagerly at Xiang Beifei.
Though she was also an S-level student at Liangzhou University, she wasn't as arrogant as Qin Yi. On the contrary, she had been well-educated, thanks to her upright father.
Lu Hong had done a good job educating her from a young age, frequently reminding her that there's always someone better out there. Therefore, Lu Zhiwei never missed an opportunity to improve herself.
Even if Xiang Beifei was just an N-level Awakener.
"Give me the access card, I'm going to train."
Xiang Beifei paid no attention to Qin Yi.
Rather than wasting words with others, he preferred to focus on improving himself first.
"No way, teach me a bit more, analyze one more criminal for me and walk me through your reasoning process."
Lu Zhiwei waved her notebook, "Consider it the fee for escorting you home tonight—um, I'll escort you home for the night, and in return, you teach me one reasoning technique, how about that?"
Qin Yi's gaze darkened when he saw Lu Zhiwei ignoring his presence, an S-level, and actually seeking to learn from an N-level.
After all, he was an S-level. Being disregarded so casually, wasn't that an affront to him?
He said, "Xiao Wei, if you want to learn reasoning skills, wouldn't it be better to learn from me? Why must you learn from an N-level person?"
"You can reason?"
Lu Zhiwei looked dubiously at Qin Yi, "I don't recall you having that ability."
"Heh, I usually just keep a low profile, you know, not showing off. I remember Uncle Lu once said, 'A capable person doesn't need to say how capable they are. Those without abilities are the ones who feel the need to show off what they can do.' Don't get tricked by these N-level newcomers, alright!"
Qin Yi straightened his collar, puffing out his chest.
His words were very straightforward.
Xiang Beifei belonged to those who lack abilities but pretend to have them in front of Lu Zhiwei, attempting to gain a sense of presence in front of her.
"Oh, you remember what I said, huh!"
At that moment, Lu Hong also walked in.
"Uncle Lu, long time no see, I've always looked up to you every time we meet," Qin Yi hastily flattered him.
Lu Hong glanced at Qin Yi and then at Xiang Beifei, who was quietly sitting in the chair waiting, and smiled, "Indeed, those who are capable don't usually boast about their abilities."
Qin Yi's system began scanning everyone in the law enforcement office.
It was only six o'clock, and with many criminal events in the system world, the law enforcement office was often working overtime. There were still many people around, including offenders and law enforcement personnel.
Qin Yi extracted the reasoning talents of those whose cultivation level was similar to or lower than his.
But for someone with higher cultivation like Lu Hong, Qin Yi didn't dare to touch. Low-level individuals targeting high-level individuals could easily be detected, and even suffer backlash.
Everyone actually possesses reasoning ability. As long as one is not an idiot, one has it to some degree. For example, if a pen stops writing, one could deduce that the refill is broken or there's no ink left.
That is the simplest reasoning ability.
But everyone's reasoning ability varies, so the value of the extracted talent differs from person to person. Even the criminals in the interrogation rooms have reasoning skills.
He extracted reasoning abilities from a total of seventeen people. A few law enforcement officers had a more potent presence than him, so he didn't dare touch theirs.
In just a short span of ten seconds or so, Qin Yi's reasoning ability value soared to 121.
The average person would be pretty good to have a score of 60.
In his system's estimation, even Lu Hong, the captain of the law enforcement team for the Western District, would only have a reasoning ability between 80 and 90.
Although this reasoning skill was quite outstanding, it still couldn't compare to Qin Yi's.
This meant that for the next three hours, Qin Yi's reasoning ability would be the very best in the entire office!
[You have chosen to spend 500 talent value to extract another's reasoning talent. Task requirement: Solve ten cases]
[Task completion reward: An Amulet]
Every time Qin Yi extracted someone's talent, he had to think three times before acting because extracting someone else's talent meant he had to undertake a related talent task from the system.
If he couldn't complete the task, it meant wasting talent value for nothing.
But if he completed the task, he would not only get the talent value back but also receive an extra reward.
The talent value could be exchanged for various goods, which he needed to accumulate by doing tasks, making it very important to him.
This was the law enforcement squad, and if he concentrated the best of others' reasoning talents onto himself, he would become the top reasoning expert here.
Solving ten cases wasn't difficult under normal circumstances.
"Watch closely, you N-level dimwit! Today, I'll show you what an S-level reasoning genius looks like!"
Qin Yi gave Xiang Beifei a glance.
