This method could only catch rogue cultivators, and it was terribly inefficient.

Trying to follow the trail and wipe out their hideouts would be exponentially more difficult. Once they cut off their tail like a lizard, the investigation alone might take months—after all, cases like this were not particularly high priority.

And he did not know whether the system would even acknowledge this approach.

After thinking it over, Lin Li decided to set it aside for now. Following his original plan, he rode toward a relatively remote area of Xi Ling Town to see whether the system would give him any notifications.

He opened Lousy Map, picked a direction he remembered as being fairly secluded in Xi Ling, and pedaled over.

Sometimes, Lin Li truly felt that the system was like a frigid woman. He was already standing up and pumping away, yet it gave him no response at all—not even a couple of cries.

Lin Li was exhausted from pedaling.

He recalled an old saying: Success comes from hard work the day after tomorrow.

Well said.

So why not rest today and tomorrow, then talk about it the day after tomorrow?

With that thought in mind, Lin Li rode through an intersection. When his brain finally registered what he had glimpsed from the corner of his eye, he slammed on the brakes. His bicycle tires left a faint black streak on the concrete.

Had he just... seen... an old friend?!

Lin Li sharply turned around, returned to the intersection, and made the turn. Once he found that familiar back, he accelerated again, rounded a drainage ditch, and skidded his bicycle sideways to a stop in front of the other person.

Seeing that somewhat familiar face, Lin Li would have shouted in excitement if the occasion had been more appropriate.
