This wasn’t something that could be solved by simply stating that the source was from the White Hawk homeland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it’s possible that some of the people present had noticed some anomalies but had not paid enough attention. Detailed recordings still needed to be made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the top, Li Jing didn’t wander around. He stood in a corridor waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recording was already being handled by someone else, and he wasn’t needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Investigating the prime scene of a murder was the Forensics Department’s job. Unless he was asked, as he had been the day before by Yang Qiuci, he couldn’t intervene recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for Dai Hong to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his request, Li Jing accompanied him at the crime scene for a walk-around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of the six White Hawk individuals had died in different parts of their rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had died on the sofa, others were found near the wine cabinet, and a few were found dead in bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six individuals had died in the same way as Augustus had the previous day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them had obvious external injuries or showed signs of struggle, but all of them had their Spiritual Qi drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their peaceful expressions and the state of their bodies, it seemed that they hadn’t felt any pain before their deaths and had died peacefully, not even realizing what was about to happen to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forensics Department deduced that all six had died around midnight the previous evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing used his Heavenly Eye to survey the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the hotel, there were dark red handprints matching those on the exterior walls in various places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, the sheer number of these dark red handprints was rather creepy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Dai Hong walked around the scene and issued some instructions to the relevant members of the Major Crime Unit, he and Li Jing entered the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the elevator door closed, Dai Hong let out a heavy sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You met with the Bureau Chief earlier, so you know our trip to White Hawk has been moved up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing nodded in acknowledgment and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who exactly from the Major Crime Unit Six will be going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Yihuan is leading several individuals, and they’ll be communicating with official White Hawk counterparts through official channels to gather information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Hong explained.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, Li Qidao and Mu Baichen will use unconventional means.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yihuan, Li Qidao, and Mu Baichen were all people that Li Jing was accustomed to working with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, they were also highly regarded individuals within the Major Crime Unit Six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing wasn’t surprised that in Dai Hong’s plan, only three of them would be operating through unconventional means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More people could easily mess things up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for them, civil servants who would essentially be infiltrating White Hawk. If they were discovered, it would be hard for Longyu to protest if White Hawk labelled them as spies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Bureau Chief will arrange identities for you and Li Qidao. When you’re in White Hawk, you’ll act independently and decide on your own approach.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Hong continued.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t recommend that you start by focusing on the victim’s families. There must have been issues with the Seven White Hawk individuals who died. It’s unlikely that they were all cursed to death without anyone knowing why. There are also questions surrounding their deaths in Longyu, and we can’t rule out the involvement of White Hawk’s higher-ups. If they are involved, the victims’ families will definitely have been surveilled or ’protected’. You three don’t need to worry about the victims’ families, let Chen Yihuan and his team strive for opportunities to communicate with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, the elevator door opened with a \"ding\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing they were on the ground floor, Dai Hong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Decide among yourselves where you want to start. Once you’re in White Hawk, adjust your plans according to the situation. I’m not going to meddle any more from this side. I’ve already notified the people going to White Hawk to gather at the Bureau. The Bureau Chief will hold a short meeting later, let’s head there first. If you have any needs or suggestions, bring them up in the meeting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning to the North City Patrol Branch, Li Jing and Dai Hong entered the conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived, Li Qidao and the others were already waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after everyone had gathered, Chen Jing arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting began immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the journey to White Hawk, Chen Jing had a lot of instructions, mainly for Chen Yihuan and his team who would be going in an official capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they were in White Hawk, they wouldn’t be representing the North City Patrol Branch anymore, but Longyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no room for negligence in this regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yihuan and his companions felt quite a lot of pressure. During the meeting, they asked Chen Jing numerous questions about the potential issues they should be aware of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all detectives, after all, and didn’t understand foreign relations very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with a direct appointee from Longyu supervising them, they still felt uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting lasted for about twenty minutes. Chen Jing told everyone to disperse and start preparing, but he asked Li Jing to stay behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone else had left, Li Jing spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, do you have something specific you want to instruct me on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re now at the Sixth Realm, your self-preservation abilities far exceed Li Qidao and Mu Baichen. The capable take on more responsibility, so we’re going to have to trouble you a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing nodded and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rather than the deaths of these seven White Hawk individuals, what we need to confirm more urgently is what killed them. You’re a sensible person. I shouldn’t need to explain what White Hawk is like. You should focus your undercover investigations on places other than these seven White Hawk individuals. Leave that to Li Qidao and Mu Baichen. I need you to focus on investigating a few places.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was talking, he started operating a tablet and then handed it to Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, Li Jing reached out to take the tablet and then frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the tablet screen were nine coordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So far, these are the locations of biotech labs in White Hawk that we have reliable information about. I hope you can find a way to infiltrate them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chen Jing spoke, he continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve gone through the records from the Management Bureau’s last exploration of the Big Secret Realm. I know you’ve mastered the skills of that madwoman Liu Shi. Be careful with this task, and you should be alright. Your main task this time is to confirm what exactly these biomedical labs are doing. It would be great if they had any information related to the Blood Tribe. If not, bring back whatever you can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, this... \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing felt a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than that, not much else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mastery of Liu Shi’s Silent Shadow was known to Chen Jing, but he was alright with that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This uncle, after all, had taken much care of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mission Chen Jing just gave him was not about investigating a case—it was about espionage, wasn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The news of the death of those six White Hawk People this morning has been sent to the White Hawk People. They are relishing it, and we need a countermeasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing said, then sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m under considerable pressure, so consider it as me asking for a favor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Jing nodded in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incident in North City definitely put a lot of pressure on Chen Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not mentioning that such a mess could easily affect the relations between Longyu and the White Hawk People, there was already a group of villains in the upper echelons at home eagerly waiting for a chance to kick him when he’s down. Isn’t this opportunity perfect for them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Jing accept this arduous task, Chen Jing nodded with satisfaction, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Things have changed too quickly and it’s quite challenging for me to handle all this. Right now, I can only count on you, and I believe in your ability. Don’t worry, I won’t shortchange you after this is over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh come on, Uncle. It’s us we’re talking about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This phrase, \"it’s us we’re talking about,\" brought a relieved smile to Chen Jing’s serious face, who had been under immense pressure ever since their meeting in Taihe hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This smile, however, gave Li Jing the creeps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he say something unnecessary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t guarantee success, but I’ll do my best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that with a hardened face, Li Jing took out his phone, sent the nine coordinates he had to Xia Ai, and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, do you have any other instructions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can be bold in your actions. I’ll shoulder anything that happens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing said, very seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But don’t do things like blowing up a city. I can’t carry that blame. Anything else is fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bombing a city?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that something he would do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he did bomb a city, he might have no return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having Chen Jing offer to take the blame eased up a lot of Li Jing’s concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going to White Hawk, his biggest fear was causing trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s not a big shot and his influence is limited. A tiny mishap might escalate into an irreversible disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Chen Jing’s support, that was a completely different story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing himself had made it clear, as long as he didn’t bomb any cities, it was all good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t have anything else to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sooner this matter can be resolved, the better. Don’t worry about anything else, just do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the discussion, Li Jing left the North City Patrol Branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preparing a new identity arranged by Chen Jing would take some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing didn’t waste time wandering around. He went to Longyu’s best equipment market and bought a top-notch anti-blocking wireless earphone costing over a million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he went home, took Xia Ai’s body from the supercomputing bracket, and stuffed her into his storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t plan to take Xia Ai along this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Chen Jing’s \"endorsement\", he changed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing told him to go all out, he would of course obey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this time, Li Jing had been strictly limiting Xia Ai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it’s time to lift the restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking Xia Ai along, Li Jing found Liu Sisi, explained the situation to her, and spent some quality time with her while he waited for the news from Chen Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About sometime after noon, Chen Jing sent a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without delay, Li Jing hurried back to the North City Patrol Branch, got his passport, new identity, and flight ticket to White Hawk from Chen Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing’s arrangements were impeccable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, Bai Chen, and Li Qidao were going to fly on different flights to White Hawk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flight tickets he got were for a flight half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having acquired the items, Li Jing rushed to Shangcheng International Airport and boarded the superfast international flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the flight took off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nearly four hours of journey, Li Jing’s flight landed in Wesbayl, the transportation hub city of White Hawk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon leaving the airport, Li Jing took out Xia Ai from the storage space and slipped on the high-end wireless earphones he just bought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hooked up Xia Ai to the wireless earphones and activated Silent Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xia Ai, simulate a virtual signal to connect to the White Hawk network and hide yourself. Then disconnect Wesbayl’s surveillance and air defense radar network. Be careful not to get caught.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ai acknowledged, then made a questioning sound, asking for confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, could you please repeat that? I didn’t quite catch what you said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing clicked his tongue, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t dawdle. Hurry up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! Give me 10 seconds!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ai replied, sounding oddly excited through the earpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ai is a budding artificial intelligence with a distinct personality and quite a few quirks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being sarcastic, loving chaos, among other \"virtuous\" traits, were ingrained in her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because Li Jing kept her on a tight leash, she had to restrain herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Li Jing set her free, how could she not be excited?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s command just then was undoubtedly the most audacious order she has received so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning off the surveillance system was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having shut down the air radar network of a major transportation hub in White Hawk, this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about it gives a rush!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>seconds, passed in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, it’s done. The surveillance won’t recover for quite a while, the air defense radar network was only briefly interrupted, it could recover in 30 seconds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing responded, and swiftly transformed into a lightning bolt, heading towards Kregar city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His destination was unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the nine coordinates Chen Jing provided, Xia Ai had confirmed them in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of them were located near Kregar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was precisely within Kregar City, hidden underground in a biological technology company called Dex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was located in an underground bunker deep in the Kregar Desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the powerful cultivation level of the Seventh Realm, Li Jing left Wesbayl city in just a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Hawk’s land was vast but sparsely populated with few large cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Wesbayl City, Li Jing glanced back over his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wesbayl City alarms hadn’t sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon confirming this, while maintaining high-speed Sky Control, Li Jing instructed aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calculate my current speed and altitude until I reach Kregar City. Shut down the radar network along the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Received!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ai immediately responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While in the wireless headset, Xia Ai’s soft voice trembled with excitement, her spirit of causing trouble was burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xia Ai’s help, Li Jing was having a smooth journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Hawk Sky Shield Bureau, possessing intelligence equal to Longyu Management Bureau, was directly blown away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing instructed Xia Ai to temporarily shut down the radar network along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Xia Ai did, however, was to shut down a large area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not Xia Ai causing mischief, rather the radar network itself overlapped to achieve perfect coverage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure her master’s Sky Control wasn’t caught, she needed to shut down a large area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey from Wesbayl City to Kregar was not far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, by Xia Ai’s action, nearly half of White Hawk was affected due to the shutdown of the radar network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the Sky Shield Bureau not be alarmed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The radar network was briefly interrupted, but it recovered naturally in less than 30 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing chaotic happened during this period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, anyone with a brain would know that this radar network interruption was not a normal situation...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The radar network covering the entire White Hawk was cross-established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if one goes down, another one should be covering it. There is absolutely no reason for them to become blind for 30 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is obviously not right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a few minutes, the Sky Shield Bureau rapidly reacted and discovered that their radar network was under attack, and the attack was ongoing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the stringent orders from the higher-ups in the Sky Shield Bureau, the technicians in the affected areas immediately organized personnel to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were about to get started, the supercomputers in their hands, which had various protective mechanisms, either went down or experienced power outages. In some cases, even portions of naughty videos stored in some technicians’ hard drives were taken out and played aloud, socially humiliating them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This directly threw the technicians in the Sky Shield Bureau into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A system crash, a power outage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is something that should not happen to supercomputers...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much useless data would it take to take a highly modern supercomputer, which is supported by multiple data centres, offline?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In each of their supercomputing data centres, there were at least ten backup circuits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All wiped out by this guy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most outrageous thing was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The naughty movies concealed by the technicians were actually dug up...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who dared to hide adult content in a supercomputer, hasn’t each one tried every trick in the book to hide it where others couldn’t detect it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the hell is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the technicians felt shocked, the higher-ups of the Sky Shield Bureau were furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these people who they paid a high price to keep, it is helpless...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone investigating, they can’t even defend at the moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the use of them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the fact that these technicians were already the elites among elites and it was impossible to find better ones, some of the irascible higher-ups in the Sky Shield Bureau wouldn’t mind making an offering of a technician to placate the heavens right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s goal in having Xia Ai temporarily shut down the air defense radar network along the way was just to ensure he could travel unimpeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For White Hawk, however, the air defense radar network was critical to defending White Hawk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the radar network is down, even if someone launches a missile at them, they can’t detect it, how frustrating could that be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admittedly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the rise of White Hawk to this day, no one has dared to make a direct move against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for such a super power, this is a huge disgrace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the news got out, the White Hawk would become the laughingstock of the world the next day...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Find out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must find out who did this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher-ups of the White Shield Bureau were furious, while the technicians under them were battered. Their minds were running furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Hawk’s technological strength was undeniably top-notch globally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ability to easily paralyze White Hawk’s air defense radar network, this is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a talent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must recruit him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was neither aware nor concerned about what had happened at the Sky Shield Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he knew was that Xia Ai seemed to be having a good time, chuckling away in his wireless earphones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a reason he never bought wireless earphones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his control, Xia Ai had become quite restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her habit of bad-mouthing had been forcibly corrected by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was one thing that Li Jing was powerless about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ai was a naturally restless character who loved to chat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon landing at a secluded spot in Kregar, Li Jing instructed Xia Ai not to stir things up too much, before temporarily switching off his wireless earphones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"game\" between Xia Ai and Sky Shield Bureau had started, and he had to let her continue playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any operation would inevitably leave traces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those who understand, these traces are permanent and cannot be erased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ai needed time to cover up the traces she left, making it impossible for Sky Shield Bureau to track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out his secondary cell phone, turned on his GPS map, looked up the location of the Kregar Adventure Guild. Finding that he was close by, he retrieved an appearance changing talisman to alter his appearance, deactivated the Silent Shadow, and hailed a taxi on the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the influence of the Silent Shadow, no one would notice his presence, which was incredibly convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he still could not avoid being captured by the surveillance cameras, as he couldn’t ask Xia Ai to turn off all the surveillance cameras in the entire city of Kregar until he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had already arrived, there wasn’t any need for a fake identity or cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Changing his appearance was easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing decided to put his plans regarding Dex Biological Technology Co., Ltd on hold and headed to the Adventure Guild first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While riding the taxi, Li Jing took in the street view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kregar city was one of the frontline cities in White Hawk and was indeed affluent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to Jianghai, it fell short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast to the high level of modernization in Jianghai city, Kregar had more of a punk vibe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, it was pretty refreshing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon further inspection, however, it seemed quite chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All sorts of peculiar buildings that would be considered illegal in Longyu were scattered along the streets, there were many places filled with \"artistic\" graffiti murals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A variety of things gave off an aura of \"freedom\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the streets of Kregar, people from all walks of life could be seen, representing a diverse range of diVersity races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In some dark corners, one could even see creatures with a health bar on their heads, openly revealing their monster traits while smoking, joking and swearing at humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene gave off an overwhelming sense of deja vu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way to the Adventure Guild, Li Jing saw many homeless people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were begging, others were picking up cans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were even being humiliated...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was aware that the conditions in White Hawk were not as good as they were made out to be by the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing it with his own eyes was still sobering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the Kregar Adventure Guild, Li Jing got off the car and looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he saw was a highly modernized skyscraper fitting for a first-line city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building was about thirty stories tall, quite magnificent in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant liquid crystal display hanging on the building showed ’Kregar Adventure Guild’ in the White Hawk language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lobby on the ground floor was bustling with people coming in and out, creating an endless stream of activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people were openly displaying their formidable personas, which impressed Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, these people had high cultivation levels, mostly above Three Realm, and there were quite a few in Four Realm and Fifth Boundary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, them displaying their personal energies signified a strong sense of \"freedom\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Longyu, it was forbidden to release one’s personal energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of your intent, releasing an overly mighty energy would inevitably affect those around you, greatly disturbing the lives of ordinary One Realm people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there were no such restrictions here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the main entrance of the Kregar Adventure Guild, Li Jing noticed that all passersby stayed clear of the streets near the guild to avoid the pressure of the strong ones’ energies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Li Jing entered the Adventure Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, the first thing that caught his eye was a large bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, a bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bar in place of a reception area in the ground floor of a modern office building...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adventurers of all shapes and sizes were sitting around the bar, making a racket as they drank. Notably, quite a few of them were monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his brows, Li Jing reminded himself to adapt to local customs and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the bar on the first floor, there indeed were reception windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, there were quite a few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were more than ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind each window sat a attractively dressed young woman, all of whom seemed quite busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of each window, there were long queues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking around, Li Jing randomly chose a queue to join.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in front of him was a burly, bald man who seemed rather simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man was one of the few on the first floor who did not reveal his energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing someone had joined the queue behind him, the burly man turned and glanced back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the relatively slender Li Jing, who was about 1.8 meters tall, the burly man gave a friendly smile and spoke in the common language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look new, brother? I haven’t seen you before. Did you just arrive in Kregar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was taken aback by the unexpectedly friendly greeting, but soon smiled and nodded in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I just arrived in Kregar today, from Daohe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daohe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man frowned and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, you clearly look like a Longyu person, Daohe people aren’t as easygoing as you.
