Momentum Manipulation. This was the name of Lin Qi's third Wizard ability.

"The ability's upper limit is affected by my mental power, and it also has a certain inherent cap. Currently, I can manipulate the momentum multiplier of objects within my mental coverage range. It's zero to three times for now, and I can't change the direction of momentum yet."

"However, it's limited by the mass of the object, currently no more than a person's mass, and no less than half a coin's mass."

The data was a bit vague, this was Wizard's instinctive perception of his own abilities, not a data panel.

The ability had limitations, and quite a few restrictions.

But this was the manipulation of a certain vector, an ability that completely defied common sense, and its application method was even very subtle.

Same as the ability to manipulate Blood, within the coverage of Psychic Vision, Lin Qi could bypass surface limitations and directly manipulate the interior of objects.

This made the ability incredibly terrifying.

"At a critical moment, this ability can also grant me three times my normal running speed. The gains are beyond expectations."

Lin Qi was very satisfied with this ability, though its development difficulty was not low and required careful mastery from Lin Qi.

After a brief thought on how to use the new ability, Lin Qi sensed his mental power.

His mental power had significantly increased, and the coverage of Psychic Vision had expanded to about 110 meters. His mental power still had room to grow.

According to Lin Qi's estimation, he would need to meditate for about two days in the concentration of Spiritual Energy Particles in the apocalyptic world before he could absorb the next Extraordinary Item.

"In about a week at most, I can become a Tier 2 Wizard. But with the strangeness of my abilities, my combat power can't be judged by level."

Lin Qi didn't know the specific abilities of other Wizards, but based on his current understanding, neither the one who guided him onto the path of a Wizard, nor the train conductor of the Liu family, outwardly possessed abilities as strange as his.

Every Wizard was a unique existence; there were no two Wizards in the world with the same ability.

He felt the cooldown of [Door], which was only a little over ten minutes.

Lin Qi changed his clothes in advance, waiting to return.

Cyber World, March 4th, 2089, 00:55.

Lin Qi had returned to Cyber World, or rather, it felt as if he had never left.

As soon as he returned to Cyber World, Lin Qi's nerves tensed subconsciously.

Lin Qi had many more troubles in Cyber World than in the apocalyptic world. After the Great Enterprise Alliance's intelligence was leaked, who knew how many people would be looking at Lin Qi.

"The false intelligence spread by Si Ying should have just appeared. The various organizations lurking in Greenland City haven't had time to act yet."

"It's also possible that the Liu family made a move, increasing my security level. My current location might not have been exposed yet."

Lin Qi re-evaluated Si Ying's behavior.

If what Si Ying said was true, and his true intention was to survive, then Si Ying would never put Lin Qi, whom he considered a life-saving straw, in absolute danger.

The so-called false intelligence was actually intended to put pressure on the Liu family.

Would the Liu family feel pressure?

Yes, Lin Qi might not be important to the Liu family, but he was Liu Xuan's weakness.

Si Ying, by chance, had indeed put considerable pressure on the Liu family.

Currently in Greenland City, Liu Xingzhou, the train conductor, had a grim expression.

"Quickly investigate the source of this news."

The pressure came unexpectedly.

This news was both good and bad for the Liu family. The good news was that Liu Xuan and Liu Li, the two sisters, were not exposed to the public eye.

The bad news was that the intended target was useless, and instead, Lin Qi, who was extremely important to Liu Xuan, had become an open target.

In Liu Xingzhou's opinion, the person who spread this false news was both malicious and foolish.

In the employee dormitory, Lin Qi lay on his bed.

After understanding the crux of the matter, Lin Qi knew that there would likely be no danger tonight. Si Ying was still waiting for him to find him voluntarily tomorrow.

He lay back on the bed, feeling a slight mental fatigue.

After all, after the hardships of two consecutive worlds, Lin Qi needed rest.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

It wasn't until eight in the morning that the alarm played by the AI woke Lin Qi.

Today, he needed to report to the Greenland City branch of Liu Heavy Industries. The working hours in Greenland City were more relaxed than in Hongguo City, with work starting at ten in the morning and ending at nine in the evening.

This was a full hour less of work.

This was a blessing.

Thank you, company.

I went to the restroom and splashed cold water on my face to stay alert.

[Successfully received an email from "Highest Level Security Mailbox"]

AI issued a reminder that Lin Qi needed to read the email content as soon as possible.

All emails sent from Guangleng would be completely deleted within one hour of receipt, and no technical means could prevent it or recover them.

The email contained a 3D model.

The main structure of the model was the iconic landmark of Greenland City, the Twin Towers, which housed the Si Pharmaceutical company.

The most detailed part of the model depicted a seemingly ordinary green space outside Tower B.

The model marked surveillance blind spots, suggested entry points, and provided a time schedule for entering and exiting monitored areas.

Hidden within the green space was a bracelet-like object.

In addition to the model, the email also had text content.

[The Quantum-Locked Text Interface will appear at the designated location in 52 minutes. Please follow the route and timing indicated in the model. I will handle the surveillance system camouflage for you.]

The action plan was very detailed, truly in Guangleng's style.

But this model was most likely not built by Guangleng himself.

In past missions of the Highest LevelMercenary Group, when it came to acquiring information or architectural structures, Lin Qi was usually responsible, with Guangleng assisting.

"Could this modeling also be from [Holy Corpse Legion]?"

Lin Qi had reason to suspect that Guangleng not only instructed him to retrieve a product ordered by Holy Corpse Legion, but had even directly used Holy Corpse Legion's route schematic.

All Guangleng did was add a new route and schedule.

Wiping the residual water from his face, Lin Qi walked out of the restroom.

According to the schedule arranged by Guangleng, Lin Qi still had to wait about twenty minutes before leaving Door.

The Twin Towers, outside Tower B, the green area marked in the model.

A security guard in a Si Pharmaceutical uniform casually passed by, seemingly on patrol.

Upon reaching the green area, his abdomen underwent a mechanical transformation.

His abdomen was actually a hollow storage unit.

He took out an [Optical Camouflage Box] and placed it within the green area.

Comparing it with the model Lin Qi had received, the box's position was identical to the modeled location, accurate to the centimeter.

Inside the box, a bracelet lay quietly.

On the inner side of the bracelet, extremely small text was engraved: [Produced by Eastern Alliance Intercontinental Equipment Group]
