Eight o'clock in the evening.
After dinner, Wang Zhong rode his little electric scooter leisurely toward his rented apartment.
Twenty minutes later.
After returning home, Wang Zhong immediately went to wash up.
After showering, Wang Zhong walked out of the bathroom, the outline of muscles faintly visible beneath his fair skin.
This was the good physique Wang Zhong had unexpectedly gained when his strength reached that of a [Level 2 Psionic Warrior].
"Smart, activate the shielding function. Block all signals within this room."
Sitting on the sofa, Wang Zhong drank mineral water as he spoke to [Smart] on his phone.
A moment later.
After [Smart] had blocked all signals in the living room of the rented apartment, Wang Zhong drew the curtains again. Only then did he take an aluminum alloy box from beneath a sofa cushion. Opening it, he revealed a Psionic Fossil inside.
Aluminum alloy.
It could block most of the energy emitted by a Psionic Fossil.
Incidentally, Wang Zhong had swiped this aluminum alloy box from the barbecue joint last time he ate there. It had originally been used to hold barbecue.
In the living room.
Wang Zhong held the Psionic Fossil in one hand and the [Basic Psionic Battle Suit] in the other. Without hesitation, he directly activated this Cleric power.
[Mechanical Evolution, activate]!
"Rumble!"
When Wang Zhong used the power of his Mind Power to activate [Cleric Ability: Mechanical Evolution LV1], the attribute entry for [Mechanical Evolution LV1] on the virtual panel in his mind flashed. A deep, pale-blue radiance abruptly bloomed.
At the same time, it felt as though Wang Zhong's head had been struck by something heavy. With a hum, a heavy roaring sound echoed throughout his sea of consciousness.
Boom!
The next second, a crackling burst of electricity rang out beside Wang Zhong's ears. Immediately afterward, countless flickering blue currents surged from the [Psionic Fossil] in his hand.
Eighteen pale-blue currents, like vicious blue electric serpents, streaked through the air and plunged into the [Basic Psionic Battle Suit].
A moment later, the [Basic Psionic Battle Suit] suddenly floated in midair. Blue arcs of electricity surfaced across it, while an unknown force caused the entire suit to undergo a peculiar evolution.
Very soon, a black Psionic Battle Suit engraved with patterns of blue electric arcs floated before Wang Zhong.
Finally, countless pale-blue arcs flowed into the black Psionic Battle Suit.
At that point, all the strange phenomena swiftly subsided.
"Snap!"
As Wang Zhong reached out and caught 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: Durability LV2: The durability of this Psionic Battle Suit is equivalent to a steel-armored suit and can withstand the sustained fire of ordinary rifles.] [Attribute: Sweat Absorption LV1: Built with special sweat-absorbing materials. It can absorb sweat while also keeping the wearer warm in winter and cool in summer.] [Attribute: Electrical Current Enhancement LV1: This Half-body Psionic Battle Suit uses the power of electricity to strengthen the wearer's physique, increasing the wearer's strength by 50%. At its maximum, it can reach the level of a [Half-step Level 4 Psionic Warrior].] [Attribute: Jump Mode: When this mode is activated, the wearer gains the ability to jump two stories high from a standing position.] [Attribute: Speed Burst LV1: This Half-body Psionic Battle Suit uses electrical energy to increase the wearer's movement speed by 50%.] [Note: A Level 3 Psionic Warrior possesses a thousand jin of strength.] [Note: A Level 4 Psionic Warrior possesses a ton of strength and can use Psionic Power to form a [Psionic Shield]. Their combat power is sufficient to give them the advantage of a single soldier capable of killing a hundred-man group.] [Note: A Half-step Level 4 Psionic Warrior possesses nearly sixteen hundred jin of strength.]
"This is insane!"
The next second, after seeing the attributes of the [Half-body Psionic Battle Suit], Wang Zhong could not help blurting out a curse.
These attributes, this power!
This [Half-body Psionic Battle Suit] was simply powerful beyond belief.
In the third-tier city where Wang Zhong lived, a [Level 3 Psionic Warrior] was already considered an expert.
Moreover, Wang Zhong knew very clearly that there were no [Level 4 Psionic Warrior]-level figures in his third-tier city, at least not publicly. As for whether any existed in the shadows, that was not something a nobody like him could know.
"Master, Xiao Zhe has been detected engaging in a private call with personnel from [Sain Mechanical Company]..."
"The call records of both parties have been copied. Would you like to play them simultaneously?"
While Wang Zhong was still marveling at it all, [Smart]'s cold electronic prompt suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Play them simultaneously..."
At that, Wang Zhong raised his brows. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he hurriedly replied.
"Number Nine, the [Mechanical Heart] our company implanted in Mien has been missing for so many days. Have you still not found any crucial leads?"
"Team Leader, I have no leads for now. I'm still investigating..."
"Forget it. Put the search for the [Mechanical Heart] on hold for now. Next, devote yourself fully to assisting me in sending a batch of modified half-demons into the Slums..."
"Team Leader, the half-demon warriors developed by our company? They finally succeeded?"
"Correct. After more than twenty years of work, our company has finally modified demon blood and implanted it into ordinary humans. This allows ordinary people to possess strength no weaker than that of [Level 2 Psionic Warriors]!"
"Enough small talk. Just tell me, can you get this batch of modified half-demons into the Slums so the company can observe their combat ability?"
"Team Leader, although the Slums are quite far from the station, with a Hover Car, we only need twenty minutes to reach the scene..."
"Number Nine, I recall that your station recently had a [Museum Theft Case], didn't it? If everyone connected to that case starts dying one after another, the case will surely draw away the attention of some Psionic Plainclothes Officers..."
"Understood, Team Leader. I'll handle it right away."
Inside the rented apartment.
In the living room.
Sitting on the sofa, Wang Zhong listened to the bloodthirsty conversation. His eyes darkened, and strands of barely suppressed killing intent emerged within them.
Before you continue
