But we need to make rubbings of the inscriptions and patterns on the door to decipher the site’s name and purpose—is that alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With modern human technology, although we still cannot forge Spirit Grain metal, its manufacturing principles and properties have been fully understood. The Anquan Bureau’s warehouses already stock hundreds of tons of it; what’s most valuable to the Anquan Bureau are the inscriptions on the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inscriptions and patterns unearthed from the ruins help the Anquan Bureau build a systematic understanding of the ‘Spirit Power Era.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will all living beings, plants, and insects ultimately converge in the same way? Has this been proven?” Lin Ying snapped out of the shocking revelation, her expression puzzled as she asked Li Wengkang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s been verified—we’ve gathered ample data and evidence,” Li Wengkang smiled at Lin Ying. “The true significance of the ruins lies here. The prehistoric Spirit Power Era already experienced a full Spirit Power revival. By excavating and translating these relics, we’re, in a sense, gaining foreknowledge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, don’t leak a word about the ceramic factory site.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Until the excavation is complete, I’ll remain stationed here to prevent any accidents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t Changancheng deep within Xia’s heartland? What kind of accident could happen here?” An Sheng asked Li Wengkang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Accidents are called accidents precisely because we can’t predict them. You might say the Anquan Bureau has long arms, but we’re not gods—we can’t foresee everything.” Li Wengkang smiled, his gaze lingering slightly on Fuli Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want deeper insight, you can register with our Anquan Bureau and access the database.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With the power you’ve shown, you could easily govern a region like Wang Qiqi—delegate all the paperwork to your secretary. All you’d need to do is show up as a hero whenever other Spirit Beasts go on a rampage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Endless wealth, boundless luxury.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wealth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng thought for a moment, tugged at Lin Ying’s sleeve, and said to Li Wengkang, then pulled on Wang Qiqi’s sleeve and added: “Luxury.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wengkang: “.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You fox, aren’t you being a bit too honest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Li Wengkang’s invitation, An Sheng declined without a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: anyone who’s worked two days knows the word ‘work’ carries unspeakable bitterness—even the letter Quan  wouldn’t dare play this big, afraid their toy might crack under pressure and fry their brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The torment of work ranks just below the final push of the Gaokao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just call me if something comes up—why even mention letting your secretary handle it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re kidding me, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qiqi was just working overtime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Li Wengkang’s temporary office, An Sheng and Lin Ying spent over an hour—rarely encountering someone who spoke plainly—and asked him countless questions about the Spirit Power revival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the questioning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng voiced the doubt he’d buried in his mind since yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Xia’s laws, espionage should be classified as conduct crime, not result crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In simple terms,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the moment you’re recruited, you’ve committed espionage—even if you caused no harm to the state, or even if you turned yourself in, it’s still espionage. Of course, if proven coerced and with no harm done, judicial authorities typically waive punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Wengkang is different: even if his original intent was to trap foreign agents, he still accepted the blades from Dao Le.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has, in fact, committed espionage—even if judicial authorities waive punishment, shouldn’t he be barred from the system?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, this matter ties back to Lin Ying’s great-uncle and grandfather.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They knew my deeds and knew I planned to use the stolen funds to raise a guerrilla force in Malaysia, posing as pirates to attack merchant ships. They talked sense into my youthful rage and got me two missiles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wengkang shrugged, unconcerned: “Then, while helping them transport the goods back, I was caught by the Anquan Bureau at the time. Espionage? Not quite. I nearly got charged with war crimes instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They pushed too hard—what are we afraid of? Old history, nothing serious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng: “.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy hell—he raised an armed gang in Malaysia to attack all passing foreign merchant ships, pretending to be pirates, with special attention to American vessels, extorting them hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think your thinking is way too extreme.jpg\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Xiao has a youthful mindset and uses plenty of trendy terms—he says it helps him connect with the young and teach more effectively.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Li Xiao’s office, Wang Qiqi explained to the two with a helpless expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t take it personally—Li Xiao’s only extreme in thought; he has no ill intentions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All official Anquan Bureau members know Li Xiao sees only two nations in the world and two kinds of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One kind is us; the other is dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, someone like Li Wengkang shouldn’t hold such a high position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he himself is a mountain in the field of Spirit Grain research—no, a massive mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the field of Original DNA research, Li Wengkang is an insurmountable peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such scientific and technical talents aren’t rare in the Anquan Bureau—though each has some blemishes, they’re kept out of public view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t unreasonable for Lin’s great-grandfather to trick him back home and alert the Anquan Bureau to detain him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t possibly take offense—usually we just assume we’ve seen a ghost,” An Sheng muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li Wengkang never injected Spirit Grain serum, his baseline strength likely rivals that of a Spirit Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s a monster who’s fully converted his knowledge into combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And during their conversation, An Sheng learned one more thing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Li Wengkang, the Longevity Club, or other state institutions, their ability to create longevity serums or temporarily grant Spirit Beast power stems from one thing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Original DNA.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By leveraging Original DNA’s commonality, you eliminate rejection reactions and needn’t fear genetic contamination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Beast Warrior technology doesn’t fall under this category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast Warrior tech was developed by Mao Fa to counter American Super Soldier technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Americans’ version is just a PowerPoint—today, even their advanced gene-editing tech is held in private labs owned by Longevity Club conglomerate members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go—I’ll take you to get the Spirit Grain serum,” Wang Qiqi said to Fuli Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1086,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.948Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","92f77dfc8783915f300102a80acdddea2082a794573888cb1f1288e6677330f8","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-348","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-346",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
