8 PM.
After finishing dinner, Wang Zhong drove his little electric scooter towards his rented apartment, a relaxed expression on his face.
Twenty minutes later.
Upon returning home, Wang Zhong immediately went to wash up.
After showering, Wang Zhong walked out of the bathroom, his clean body subtly revealing the contours of muscles.
This was the good physique Wang Zhong unexpectedly gained when his strength reached [Level 2 Psionic Warrior].
"Intelligent System, begin activating the shielding function. Block all signals within this room."
Wang Zhong sat on the sofa, drinking mineral water as he spoke to the [Intelligent System] on his phone.
A moment later.
After the [Intelligent System] had shielded the signals in the entire living room of his rental apartment, Wang Zhong re-drew the curtains. Then, he retrieved an aluminum alloy box from under his sofa cushion. He opened the box, revealing a Psionic Fossil stored inside.
Aluminum alloy.
It could isolate most of the energy from a Psionic Fossil.
Incidentally, this aluminum alloy box was one that Wang Zhong had "borrowed" from a vendor during a barbecue last time.
In the living room.
Wang Zhong held the Psionic Fossil in one hand and the [Basic Psionic Battle Suit] in the other. Without any hesitation, he activated this Cleric power.
[Mechanical Evolution, activate]!
"Rumble!"
As Wang Zhong used the power of his mind to choose to activate this [Cleric Ability · Mechanical Evolution LV1], a virtual panel appeared in his mind. The attribute bar for [Mechanical Evolution LV1] flashed, and a deep, light blue glow suddenly erupted.
At the same time, Wang Zhong's head felt as if it had been struck by a heavy object. With a 'buzz,' a heavy rumbling sound echoed throughout his entire consciousness.
Boom!
The next second, a crackling sound of electrical discharge erupted by Wang Zhong's ears. Immediately after, countless flashing blue currents were released from the [Psionic Fossil] he held in his hand.
Eighteen light blue currents, like ferocious blue electric snakes, streaked through the air and all entered the [Basic Psionic Battle Suit].
A moment later, the [Basic Psionic Battle Suit] suddenly floated in mid-air. Blue arcs of electricity appeared on the suit, and under some unknown power, the entire suit began to undergo a peculiar evolution.
Soon, a black Psionic Battle Suit, inscribed with patterns of blue electric arcs, hovered before Wang Zhong.
Finally, countless light blue electric arcs flowed into this black Psionic Battle Suit.
With this, all anomalies quickly subsided.
"Snap!"
As Wang Zhong reached out and took the [Basic Psionic Battle Suit], a new virtual panel appeared before his eyes.
[Half-body Psionic Battle Suit]
[Level: Primary Mechanical Creation]
[Attribute: Electrical Energy: 100%]
[Attribute: Sturdiness LV2: The sturdiness of this Psionic Battle Suit is equivalent to that of a steel-plated battle suit, capable of withstanding ordinary rifle fire.]
[Attribute: Sweat Absorption LV1: Built-in special sweat-absorbing material can absorb sweat and also provide warmth in the cold and coolness in the heat.]
[Attribute: Current Enhancement LV1: This half-body Psionic Battle Suit utilizes electrical energy to enhance the user's physique, increasing the user's strength by 50%, reaching a maximum level of [Half-step Level 4 Psionic Warrior].]
[Attribute: Jump Mode: Activating this mode grants the user the ability to jump two stories high from a standstill.]
[Attribute: Speed Burst LV1: This half-body Psionic Battle Suit uses electrical energy to increase the user's movement speed by 50%.]
[Note: A Level 3 Psionic Warrior possesses a strength of over 1,000 jin.]
[Note: A Level 4 Psionic Warrior possesses a strength of over one ton and can use psionic energy to form a [Psionic Shield]. Their combat power is sufficient to kill a hundred-man squad.]
[Note: A Half-step Level 4 Psionic Warrior possesses a strength close to 1,600 jin.]
"Exciting!"
The next second, after seeing the attributes of the [Half-body Psionic Battle Suit], Wang Zhong couldn't help but blurt out an expletive.
These attributes, this power!
This [Half-body Psionic Battle Suit] was simply incredible.
A [Level 3 Psionic Warrior] was already a master in the third-tier city where Wang Zhong lived.
Moreover, Wang Zhong knew very well that there were no individuals at the [Level 4 Psionic Warrior] level openly operating in his third-tier city. As for whether there were any operating in secret, that was beyond what a nobody like him could ascertain.
"Master, detecting that Xiao Zhe is establishing a direct line of communication with personnel from [Sain Mechanical Company]..."
"Call logs for both individuals have been copied. Do you wish to play them simultaneously?"
As Wang Zhong was still marveling, the [Intelligent System]'s cold electronic prompt suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Begin synchronized playback..."
Hearing this, Wang Zhong's brow twitched. He suppressed the surge of excitement in his heart and quickly said.
"Number Nine, the [Mechanical Heart] our company installed in that Mien has been missing for so many days. Haven't you found any key clues yet?"
"Team Leader, I don't have any leads at the moment. I'm still investigating..."
"Fine. Put the search for this [Mechanical Heart] on hold for now. Next, you will fully assist me in deploying a batch of modified Half-demons into the slums..."
"Team Leader, the Half-demon warriors developed by our company? They're finally successful?"
"That's right. Our company has spent over twenty years finally modifying the demon blood of the Demons and implanting it into ordinary people. This way, ordinary people can possess strength no less than a [Level 2 Psionic Warrior]!"
"Alright, enough idle talk. Just tell me, can you deploy this batch of modified Half-demons into the slums to let the company see their combat effectiveness?"
"Team Leader, although the slums are quite far from the bureau, with this hovercar, we can reach the scene in just twenty minutes..."
"Number Nine, I recall your bureau recently had a [Museum Theft Case], didn't you? If the individuals involved in this case start dying one after another, it will definitely draw the attention of some Psionic Plainclothes Officers..."
"Understood, Team Leader. I'll get right on it."
In the rental apartment.
In the living room.
Wang Zhong, sitting on the sofa, listened to the conversation filled with bloody undertones. His eyes were dark, and a trace of uncontrollable killing intent flickered within them.
