However, when Chen Gu picked up the phone, he spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, "I had something urgent and left early. Everyone drank too much last night, and I took the gorilla to room 4019. I don’t know how he’s doing now, so go check on him to make sure nothing’s gone wrong."

"Okay," Man Suling replied, disappointed, and then went to knock on the door. Hearing a flurry of panicked noises from inside and after a long wait with no one answering, her boss finally opened it. Man Suling saw three neatly dressed men inside but felt something was off. Why did their expressions look so strange?

「...」

"HAHAHA!" Chen Gu sat in the "Fourth Gen Palace on Earth," laughing heartily without a care in the world.

The car drove out of the city and entered a scenic nature reserve. Chen Gu remembered that Aviloya had once specifically asked Dr. Meng Ji to "relay" a message to him: as soon as he awakened a new Profession, he must immediately report it to the Bureau.

Chen Gu curled his lip, feeling somewhat rebellious. Just because you say I have to report immediately, does that mean I have to do it instantly? Even I, Great Actor Chen, have a temper! I’ll pointedly not listen to you!

He checked the time. Hmm, it’s been nearly two hours since I awakened my new memories. Surely this doesn’t count as reporting ’immediately,’ right?

Then, he called Qing Ruyan. "I’m reporting to the Bureau. I’ve awakened a new Profession: Multistate Special Agent."

Qing Ruyan’s jaw dropped. "You’ve got another new Profession? Alright, alright, I’ll inform His Excellency, the Director-General, right away."

After Chen Gu hung up, the car had arrived outside the base. After his identity was verified, the base’s gates slowly opened, and Chen Gu drove in.

「...」

Aviloya was also taken aback.

To be honest, Aviloya wouldn’t have been surprised if Chen Gu never awakened another new Profession. He was already a Radiation Missionary, Star Battle Instructor, Quantum Wizard, and Brain Domain Hacker. Now that he had awakened Multistate Special Agent, it was his fifth Profession!

This monster! the Valkyrie muttered under her breath and then called Dr. Meng Ji.

The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered, "Your Excellency, Director-General!"

When Aviloya heard this form of address, her eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly. The doctor addressing me so respectfully... it definitely means no good news. He’s probably scheming something, trying to get some extra experimental resources from me.

"Has Chen Gu returned?" she asked.

"Seems like he just entered the base. What’s wrong?" The other party’s response was stiff and unusually formal, quite unlike his usual demeanor, yet he didn’t request anything.

"He just reported to the Bureau..." Aviloya said, her expression unchanged, "He’s awakened a new Profession. It’s... Hell Titan."

"Is that so? That’s really wonderful!" A hint of joy could be heard in the doctor’s voice. "I will study him seriously. Please rest assured, Your Excellency."

"Why is he only going back now?" Aviloya asked, a hint of displeasure in her tone. Simultaneously, her hands flew across her controls. She quickly composed a message and sent it to Chen Gu.

Dr. Meng Ji adopted a very serious and apologetic demeanor as he replied, "It’s my fault. Chen Gu is an important asset to the Bureau, and him staying out all night poses a significant risk. When he returns this time, I will definitely assign someone to keep a very close watch on him."

「...」

WHOOSH!

A message arrived in Chen Gu’s Bureau of Mystic Security account. He was currently driving through a passage in the base, preparing to enter a large elevator designed for maglev cars.

The car was in autonomous driving mode and entered the elevator precisely. Chen Gu casually opened the message. It was from the Director-General, which made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. However, after reading its content, his expression remained calm, and he silently logged out of his account.

Surrounded by surveillance devices, Great Actor Chen controlled his facial expression. He proceeded through the elevator as if nothing was out of the ordinary, parked the car, and then, whistling cheerfully as if pleased with awakening his new Profession, headed toward his room.

At the same time, his Radiation Field activated.

Around the corner of the passage ahead, four people lay in ambush.

Great Actor Chen sighed inwardly. I really don’t want to use Meng Moshi’s memories, but I have no choice right now. He turned the corner, seemingly unguarded. The four ambushers, all Professionals, attacked simultaneously—they were all at the Fourth Energy Level!

But the instant they made their move, Chen Gu vanished!

It was Plasma Stealth, a skill of the Multistate Special Agent! In a base filled with surveillance devices, this skill was exceedingly practical.

And by channeling Meng Moshi’s memories, Chen Gu was now a Fifth Energy Level Multistate Special Agent, giving him an overwhelming advantage against four Fourth Energy Level Professionals.

Plasma Stealth allowed a Multistate Special Agent to transform their body into a "plasma state," granting potent invisibility. Unlike the "invisibility" achieved by technological equipment, a Professional’s invisibility was true invisibility—undetectable by high-tech devices or the naked eye. It could only be searched out and detected through the specific, counter-abilities of other Professionals.

"How did he discover us?" The four Professionals, shocked, blurted out the question instinctively.

Meanwhile, in the generator hall on the lowest level of the base, surveillance feeds from every section were displayed on screens. Numerous special agents in black combat uniforms monitored these, each responsible for a specific area. The footage of the four Professionals ambushing Chen Gu was displayed and magnified on the central screen.

In the center of the room, an elderly man with a large beard stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He wore a gray woolen military uniform with red epaulets on his shoulders.

From behind him, energy threads extended out like chains, each connected to the neck of everyone in the base, including Gong Shuxu and Kang Gesi.

The two Sixth Energy Level individuals looked ashen-faced and were clearly injured; Kang Gesi even had a broken arm that hadn’t received prompt medical attention.

Dr. Meng Ji, also one of the hostages, breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Chen Gu, who had been about to walk into the ambush, suddenly disappear. It seems the Director-General understood my hint, he thought.

Earlier, the bearded elder had threatened him with Chu Zheng’s life, forcing him to cooperate and answer Aviloya’s call. Otherwise, given Dr. Meng Ji’s temperament, he would have definitely glared and retorted, "Go ahead, kill me!"

In the surveillance footage, the four Professionals activated their skills and began searching individually. One even pulled out a portable device. But just as that Professional took out the device, a hand suddenly appeared behind his head. This hand transitioned from a plasma state to a "super-solid state" of unparalleled hardness. With a swift jab, it pierced the Professional’s skull!

After casually killing the Fourth Energy Level Professional, the hand reverted from its super-solid state back to a plasma state, vanishing from the monitors without a trace once more.
