How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 100 S-Class Mission, 500,000 Reward

"Why should I feel sour? I’m destined not to be anyone’s wife, and since I can’t satisfy your physiological needs, I can’t exactly hog you without doing the deed, letting you suffocate to death..."

"It’s not necessarily true. You’ve said yourself that you’re working on an antidote, and my cultivation is rising with the tide. One day, I’ll be able to break through your demonic barrier." Lin Xiaosu took her small hand playfully, teasing her.

Chang Ye sighed softly: "Having aspirations is good; at least it gives us motivation to strive... But you’re overlooking one problem. My gene rejection day is approaching, a day of rejection, a day of nirvana. By the time your cultivation catches up, my toxin will have evolved, and you’ll have to start chasing all over again... Anyway, I don’t want to dampen your spirits. Tell me, why do you think Ding Lizhong is not very likely?"

"It’s because of the person who died at their hands last night."

"Zhou Yibo?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu said: "I’m pondering a question. Zhou Yibo had his brains blown out on the spot, and there was no chip in his head. This shows that what controlled him wasn’t a chip, but some kind of benefit given by someone else... What benefit could it be?"

Chang Ye mused: "Usually, it would be money, but as a scientist at Changsheng Group, he is not short of money. It’s hard for money to sway him."

"Exactly!"

"You’ve seen his physique too—a mere ordinary man. Even if he likes beautiful women, he probably can’t handle much. So, women probably can’t sway him either."

"You might be lousy in actual combat when it comes to affairs of men and women, but your analytical judgment is quite sharp!" Lin Xiaosu gave a thumbs-up.

Chang Ye rolled her eyes at him: "People who are into scientific research have another weakness—that is, they always hope their value can be recognized. He probably wants to become the chief scientist of Changsheng Group."

Lin Xiaosu said: "So, the question is, can Huang Chengwang make his dream come true? How about Ding Lizhong? Can he?"

A shock struck Chang Ye’s heart...

This was a topic that ordinary people wouldn’t think of...

Zhou Yibo was already Ding Lizhong’s right-hand man, with a high position in scientific research...

Could Ding Lizhong offer him a higher position?

Obviously not, not unless he steps down!

For talents like them, who are not short of money, who would risk their lives for you when money doesn’t move them and a higher position can’t be offered?

Unless someone painted him a big picture: Take out Ding Lizhong, and I’ll let you sit in his position!

That person can’t be Ding Lizhong himself. It could only be...

"Li Changsheng, the chairman of Changsheng Group?"

With this legendary name, Lin Xiaosu did not confirm or deny, but simply smiled lightly: "A provincial star enterprise, a rising company with countless mysterious aids, it’s not easy to shake the owner of the house. If we were to issue a tender for this matter, I wonder what price Qianlong would be willing to pay?"

Chang Ye glared at him sideways: "What price? Wasn’t this just the last mission? We originally thought Snake Head was Huang Chengwang, but now after your analysis, I also feel that it was indeed too early for us to transfer the money... Let’s wait until you find the real Snake Head before transferring the money, ten thousand dollars, you won’t miss a penny!"

Lin Xiaosu looked at her stunned and slapped himself on the mouth: "I’m really running off at the mouth, why analyze it? Just taking the money and letting sleeping dogs lie would have been so much better..."

Chang Ye laughed with a snort: "I can’t stand your love of money. Alright, I’ll give you a new mission. If you complete it, I’ll reward you with 500,000! How’s that?"

"500,000? For those tycoons, it’s just the cost of a bottle of wine, but for the iron rooster Qianlong, it’s indeed an unprecedentedly generous offer... What level of mission?"

"S-level!"

Qianlong missions, with the highest level being SSS and the next level SS. S-level belongs to the third tier of tasks. To ordinary people, it might not seem particularly difficult.

Just the third tier then.

However, Lin Xiaosu, having stayed in area 101, knew what S-level missions meant.

In Qianlong’s dictionary, general murder cases don’t catch their attention. Even cases with hundreds of people gruesomely killed are merely glanced at. A task that makes it onto Qianlong’s mission list, even if it’s C-level, is considered a tremendous issue in the eyes of ordinary people, not to mention a mission that jumps over A-level and lands straight at S-level?

"Let’s hear it, what’s the specific mission?"

Chang Ye whispered five words gently: "Eliminate Huang Chengwang!"

Eliminate Huang Chengwang...

Why the need for elimination?

Because Qianlong had identified Huang Chengwang as the Snake Head.

And every Snake Head must be executed!

This is the iron rule of Qianlong!

Why so resolute?

Because Qianlong needs to deter forces both domestic and foreign!

You think you can leave Daxia with your hands stained with blood and just walk away? There’s no such cheap deal! If you flee to the ends of the earth, Qianlong will still kill you!

Only by doing this can they suppress the evil spirits within the nation!

Moreover, Huang Chengwang indeed deserves to die. In the documented cases investigated so far, he personally silenced thirty-seven Genetic People, and each of these thirty-seven people was responsible for at least seven or eight homicides, totaling up to nearly a thousand innocent lives. These innocents lost their lives at the hands of Huang Chengwang, the real culprit.

And this isn’t merely about lives; among these thousands, there are many scientists, elite individuals from various fields, and even children. Due to this venomous serpent, Daxia’s loss is immeasurable...

For such a person, to not kill him would not appease public anger; to not kill him would not quell the world!

Therefore, Qianlong issued a red kill order for Huang Chengwang, with the level set at S.

The standard for S-level is determined by considering the difficulty from various aspects.

If Huang Chengwang was still in the country, the task would not be to kill him but to capture him, and the mission standard would be at most C-level. However, he has fled, and to Fusang Country, no less.

Fusang Country is incredibly complicated. Although it’s a small island country with a population of hundreds of millions and a highly advanced level of technology, its level of Genetic Transformation is more extreme than any other nation. As a result, executing missions there is extremely dangerous, and there is a special aspect: this island country has long been hostile to Daxia. Their secret elite forces are trained with Qianlong as their hypothetical adversary; they know Qianlong like the back of their hand. When Qianlong enters Fusang, life and death are both uncertain.

Chang Ye accepted this mission voluntarily.

It was also a form of consideration from the organization.

Why?

Because amongst the people Huang Chengwang had killed, there was one who had a very special relationship with her: Qu Taiqing.

Chang Ye was an orphan, on the brink of death in the orphanage when Qu Taiqing, holding an umbrella, approached her on a cold autumn rainy day.

From that day on, Qu Taiqing became like a real grandfather in Chang Ye’s heart.

Qianlong, although not advocating for its members to pursue private vendettas, allows it as long as it does not interfere with official duties and personal feelings can be respected...

"Alright, I’ll accompany you!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Much appreciated!" Chang Ye was quite happy: "With you, a super detective, on the same path, my biggest problem is solved—finding the target in the vast sea of people."

This was the real reason Chang Ye chose Lin Xiaosu.

With her skills, murder was never difficult.

The real challenge was finding people.

Huang Chengwang fled to Fusang and disappeared into the teeming population of Fusang Country, trying to find him was incredibly difficult.

But who is Lin Xiaosu?

He is someone who could find a bird within eight hundred miles of emptiness!

Lin Xiaosu got out of the car and went back to the teahouse where Ding Ruoshui was sitting under the setting sun, cradling a cup of tea, lost in thought...

As Lin Xiaosu approached, Ding Ruoshui seemed to awaken from a dream, turning her head abruptly and flashing him a brilliant, somewhat flirtatious smile: "Has your cousin left?"

"Not yet, waiting to leave with me."

Ding Ruoshui appeared slightly disappointed: "You’re really leaving?"

"Mhm, it’s been a pleasure working with you, until next time!"

"Next time? Will you still charge me next time?"

"Of course, in light of our pleasant collaboration this time, I won’t raise my rates!" Lin Xiaosu waved goodbye.

Ding Ruoshui bit her lip: "You mean, if I want to take you to a movie, you’d still charge me four hundred thousand dollars? Good heavens, where is the justice in that?"

Her voice was definitely not loud.

But, Lin Su could definitely hear it...

Lin Su pretended not to hear.

He got into Chang Ye’s car.

"Directly to the airport or..." Lin Xiaosu’s voice paused slightly: "What’s wrong?"

He noticed that Chang Ye was somewhat distracted.

Chang Ye let out a soft breath: "There’s been a new development!"

"What?"

"Huang Chengwang took something with him when he fled, and it’s no ordinary thing..."

"What?"

Chang Ye said: "Put on the Dragon Eye, I’ll share it with you to see."

Lin Xiaosu put on the Dragon Eye, an image appeared...

It was a piece of purple stone with various parameters next to it. At the sight of these parameters, Lin Xiaosu was startled—clearly not from Earth, the parameters were outrageously abnormal.

Of course, only those who, like them, had received professional training could understand these parameters.

"Where did this come from?"

"Lao Mountain!" Chang Ye said: "This stone contains a mysterious energy. Huang Chengwang relied on it to make a breakthrough in ’neutrino’ research. Yesterday afternoon, when he was planning his escape, he didn’t take anything with him but ran to the specialized lab and stole this stone. If this stone ends up in the hands of Fusang Country’s scientific community, they might very likely make a breakthrough in neutrino technology, and potentially take a shortcut in the communication field to overtake our country!"

"So, our mission now also includes bringing this stone back, right?" Lin Xiaosu said.

"To bring the stone back, it’s not an S-level difficulty but SS-level! Because Huang Chengwang has already gifted the stone as a token of introduction to the Fusang Royal Research Institute," Chang Ye sighed deeply: "This traitor who betrays his country really deserves to die!"

Lin Xiaosu said: "SS-level, does that mean the reward is doubled?"

"Still thinking about money?" Chang Ye glanced at him sideways: "That’s not our mission. Our makeshift team like this can’t take on SS-level missions. There are specialized people in charge..."

With a press of the accelerator, they sped through the streets of Jiangcheng, heading straight for Xinhe Airport.

Xinhe Airport, located on the east side of Jiangcheng city, thirty miles from the main urban area, is extremely grand.

Entering the waiting hall, Chang Ye took out the prepared passport, ID card, and plane tickets.

Lin Xiaosu took the passport, the photo on it was indeed him, but the name read Su Zhe, occupation: employee of a certain science and trade company in Fusang, home address: Half Street Community, No. 103-207, Tieqiu Town, Xiyang County, Xiao Xiang Province.

Lin Xiaosu frowned slightly: "Are the addresses this detailed?"

"They all are."

"What if someone, with nothing better to do, adopts a stickler for detail and comes looking for me at this No. 103, won’t it blow my cover?"

"Don’t worry, if someone checks, there really is such a person at this address. However, outsiders don’t know that he’s already sacrificed himself!"

"Taking over the identity of a fallen comrade... this... isn’t this sacrilege?"

"In the traditions of Qianlong, it’s not called sacrilege; it’s called continuing the will of a comrade-in-arms! Proceeding along the footsteps of the martyrs, we continue forward!"

Touched!
