"Don't forget our main task is to retrieve the USB drive," the square-faced man reminded him.
"Finding the USB drive and contacting Ling Yi are not mutually exclusive. If this kid really has some extraordinary abilities, we can consider having him join our Special Incident Bureau!" the thin woman said.
"Right now, all I want to do is kill all these assassins, and those traitors who betray their own side. I won't let a single one of them get away this time." The plump woman's temper seemed quite volatile.
"Don't worry, none of these people will escape. After we retrieve the USB drive, our next task will be to deal with them," the square-faced man said coldly.
Special Incident Bureau, officially known as the Ancient Country Special Events Administration.
Primarily responsible for handling unusual or unconventional events.
Just as Ling Yi had guessed, this world possesses Transcendent powers.
Transcendent powers are mainly divided into two types.
One type is acquired through cultivation, the other is innate.
The Transcendent power acquired through cultivation mainly refers to Martial Practitioner; powerful Martial Practitioner are comparable to Land Immortal.
As for innate Transcendent power, that refers to those with Ability User.
The three square-faced men were all Martial Practitioner.
They had actually noticed the quest about Ling Yi on the Dark Web a long time ago.
The plump middle-aged woman was named Chen Yingying, and she was a Peak Acquired Martial Practitioner.
The square-faced man was named Zhao Feng, a Martial Practitioner at the Innate First Layer.
The thin, middle-aged woman in the back seat Lin Fei, and she was also a Martial Practitioner at the Innate First Layer.
Their main purpose in coming to Baihai City this time was to get that red USB drive.
The contents of this USB drive are quite significant; they contain detailed information about the Dark Web.
Once the USB drive is obtained, all Dark Web organizations within the Ancient Country can be eradicated.
This USB drive was obtained by a special Ability User from the Special Incident Bureau using his electronic abilities.
Unfortunately, before this Ability User could return the USB drive to the Special Incident Bureau, he was hunted down by people on the Dark Web.
Only as a last resort did I put the USB drive into Ling Yi's pocket.
This triggered a series of subsequent events.
In other words, the bounty missions were posted on the Dark Web.
For the Dark Web, destroying USB drives is of paramount importance.
As for why the option to destroy the USB drive was removed from the updated bounty missions...
It was mainly made for the people in the Special Incident Bureau.
Send a signal to the Special Incident Bureau that the USB drive has been destroyed; all that remains is to kill Ling Yi.
Secretly, they dispatched almost all of the Dark Web members within the Ancient Country to Baihai City to search for the USB drive.
Baihai City is likely to be incredibly lively from now on.
But at this moment, Ling Yi was moving away from Baihai City, or more precisely, away from the city center.
Ling Yi didn't want today's events to repeat themselves.
Therefore, he needs to stay away from the city center.
Half a day later, a detached manor villa in the eastern suburbs of Baihai City was registered under Ling Yi's name.
Money makes things easier.
The original owner of the villa didn't intend to sell it, but Ling Yi offered too much.
This manor villa has an area of approximately 2,000 square meters.
The villa is in the middle, with three floors.
Behind it is a parking lot, and in front are various artificial hills and gardens, as well as a huge swimming pool.
Ling Yi had already tested the effects of the new magic that afternoon and had come up with many new uses for it.
For example, the Thorns Entanglement Technique, when used in combination, can have unexpected effects.
It can be used for both offense and defense.
For example, if Ling Yi uses the Entanglement Technique on himself, the vines won't Entanglement his body.
It can form a space surrounded by vines.
Ling Yi would be protected within the vines.
The more times the vines are stacked, the stronger their defensive capabilities become.
Let's talk about Puppet Technique.
Puppet Technique can only be used to Summon plants.
The more resilient and powerful the plant used to Summon the puppet, the more powerful the puppet will be.
Then Ling Yi suddenly had a thought: Would the vines Summon by the Vine Spell be considered plants?
Could vines be used as raw materials for Summon puppets?
It's important to know that the vines created by the Vine Spell are far more powerful than those of ordinary plants.
If one can Summon puppets with vines, then those puppets must be extremely powerful.
As it turns out, this is possible.
The villa is now surrounded by vine puppets.
If unsuspecting people try to force their way into the villa, these vine puppets, which appear to be sculptures, will teach them a lesson.
As for the appearance of these companion puppets, they bear a striking resemblance to Groot from Marvel.
This looks more like a sculpture now.
Who would have thought these Groot were alive?
"That's really fast." Ling Yi, who was frying steak, looked at the dozen or so red dots that appeared on the Perception Map.
A cruel smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
With his left hand, he used tongs to flip the steak over, while his right hand began the Snap repeatedly.
Each time you snap your the Snap, a red dot will disappear.
The bodies of these assassins would be dragged underground by the vines and turned into fertilizer for the earth.
Dragging people underground is another new use for vines.
The steak had been pan-fried by Ling Yi until both sides were golden brown, and it smelled delicious.
Ling Yi rarely eats Western food.
The problem is that this stuff is too expensive, and it's not filling.
A steak the size of a palm can cost at least a hundred yuan.
Of course, the main point is that Ling Yi was too poor before; one steak could feed him for several days.
Now that they're not short of money, they naturally want to enjoy themselves to the fullest.
One steak isn't enough? How about pan-frying five at once?
Ling Yi thoroughly enjoyed the steak meal, and he also tried drinking red wine.
However, Ling Yi really couldn't get used to that stuff.
I took a sip and then threw it in the trash.
After finishing his meal, Ling Yi went up to the second floor to the study, where there was Computer.
This Computer was left behind by the original owner of the villa.
Not just the Computer, but everything in the villa was left behind by the original owner.
Ling Yi didn't have to buy some household appliances separately.
The Computer's specifications should be quite high; it boots up very quickly.
After the Computer was turned on, Ling Yi plugged a red USB drive into Computer.
He was curious to see what was on the USB drive.
"Is the original really this small?"
99% of the USB drive's space is idle.
There's only one folder inside, less than 200 MB in size.
There is an image in the folder, which, when opened, reveals a Map.
The Map was covered with red dots, Ling Yi stared at it for a long time without knowing what they were for.
In addition to the Map, there is also a text file.
Open the text file; it contains a record of people's names, with detailed information following each name.
Age, occupation, employer, family situation, current address, etc.
The list has a staggering number of over 60,000!
As you know, the most valuable part is this list.
But its specific use is still unclear.
"It should be a list of members of some organization!"
After figuring out the contents of the USB drive, Ling Yi immediately lost interest in it.
He casually tossed the USB drive into the corner, then used his Vine Technique to wrap it into a ball.
At first glance, it looks like a cactus growing in the corner!
A forest 1000km away from Ling Yi.
A black SUV was parked under a tree.
There were two women in the car; judging from their appearance, they were probably twins.
One of them was typing code rapidly on a Computer.
The other was observing the surroundings through binoculars.
"The sixth team was also completely wiped out." The woman holding binoculars said casually, chewing gum.
"Coordinate!"
"East 1, West 900!"
"With so many dead, no more idiots should come here tonight."
Computer woman stared at the Computer screen with Taunt expression.
"It can be confirmed that Ling Yi is Ability User, and the radius of his superpower is exactly 1km."
"So, as long as we don't enter Ling Yi's 1km radius, we'll be fine?"
"Who knows, maybe they'll unleash their Cosmo?"
"So, to be on the safe side, let's wait another day."
"No, we can't wait any longer. The people from the Special Municipal Bureau have already arrived in Baihai City. If we wait any longer, we won't be able to leave."
"Then we'll have to try our precious baby."
The girl with chewing gum got off the bus carrying a large black suitcase.
When the box was opened, it was found to contain exactly 20 drones.
Each drone has a fist-sized sphere attached to it.
As the girl inside the car pressed the Enter key on her Computer, 20 drones took off in a specific order.
It emits a slight buzzing sound.
Their target was Ling Yi's villa.
"Sis, will it work?" The girl with chewing gum asked expectantly as she got into the car.
"I don't know. The Jiajia Hotel had such a terrifying explosion before, yet Ling Yi was Wuyang."
"Clearly, Ling Yi not only possesses bizarre attack methods, but also extraordinary defensive capabilities."
The Computer is now displaying the monitoring footage transmitted back by the drone.
The drone is very fast; it can cover a distance of 1 km in less than 30 seconds.
However, at that moment, a scene that left the two women speechless appeared.
The Groot sculptures surrounding the villa had come to life.
They raised their arms, and vines like snakes flew into the air.
The drone was destroyed.
In an instant, they lost the view of more than a dozen drones.
In the distance, another series of loud explosions echoed above the villa.
What is this thing?
Without a word, the girl with the Computer turned around, jumped into the driver's seat, and quickly started the car.
"What it is doesn't matter, making a run for it is the most important thing right now."
The black SUV quickly drove out of the woods and onto the highway, covering several hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
"Sis, Groot is catching up! Drive faster!"
The Computer was glanced back through the rearview mirror.
I immediately felt a chill run down my spine.
One after another, Groot, each over 2 meters tall, emerged from the ground.
More than 20 of them popped out in the blink of an eye.
Then he quickly chased after them.
The girl with chewing gum pulled a Charge from under the seat.
He pulled the trigger at Groot, who was charging at him.
The gun spat out continuous Huoyan, and a large number of bullets hit Groot, who was in the lead.
However, the seemingly fragile Groot was able to withstand bullets.
The bullets struck them, only producing a series of sparks.
What kind of monster is this?
"That's it, we sisters are going to die here today."
The girl with chewing gum threw away the Charge.
He raised his hands towards Groot behind him and shouted, "Can't you understand human language? We surrender!"
"Roar!"
Her response was a furious roar.
