“Boss Sun?”

The gray-haired elder sized up Pei Jinye with a glance.

Pei Jinye nodded indifferently, “Where’s the thing I wanted?”

The gray-haired elder looked over Pei Jinye’s shoulder, checking that there were no cops around, then nodded and gestured, “Come in and we’ll talk.”

This was a small, quadrangle-structured flat, quite shabby and nothing luxurious to speak of.

The old wooden door opened enough for just one person to pass through.

There was a light on inside the room, but from outside, it still looked dim and yellowish.

The gray-haired elder gestured for Pei Jinye to come in.

It was only then that Pei Jinye noticed the room was filled with densely packed weapons.

Behind the counter, a muscular man in a white tank top, sporting a short braid, was wiping a red tassled spear. He glanced at Pei Jinye and didn’t pay him much mind.

“Boss Sun, this is the hidden weapon you wanted, about 12 centimeters long, weighing 500 grams.” The artifact refining master opened the box, revealing a scaled-down version of a black triangular military dagger.

Pei Jinye calmly put on gloves before picking it up for inspection.

The reason he wanted the triangular military dagger was because of its fatal characteristics.

A wound made by it would generally be square-shaped, with the sides unable to press against each other, preventing effective blood clotting and healing. Plus, such a wound is not easily managed with initial emergency care.

When Pei Jinye would use it, it would certainly be in a life-or-death confrontation, so he didn’t care if the other side had a chance to bandage it.

The artifact refining master watched Pei Jinye put on his gloves, paused, raised his eyebrows, and with a cryptic smile said, “Boss Sun is really careful.”

“I’m not as careful as you, Master Li. Who could have thought that such a place would be hidden here?” Pei Jinye’s gaze remained steady.

He wasn’t curious about why the other party was secretly selling weapons. Of course, it could be due to Federation laws, but as far as Pei Jinye knew…

Federation laws did not restrict the sale of weapons.

But why the other party had to be so careful was of no concern to Pei Jinye.

The artifact refining master laughed heartily, “Better safe than sorry. Boss Sun, how do you find the craftsmanship of this hidden weapon? The material is made of titanium iron, not easy to damage, and the quality is definitely superior.”

“Not bad, meets my requirements. Just like we discussed before, a total of six pieces.” Pei Jinye nodded, weighing it in his hand.

The artifact refining master just watched him with a smile.

Pei Jinye pulled out a stack of cash, “A total of 120,000, you can count it.”

“Xiaoshan.” The artifact refining master called, and the burly guy who was wiping the red tassled spear came over carrying a banknote counter and another small wooden box.

He skillfully checked Pei Jinye’s banknotes three times.

Only then did the artifact refining master finally reveal a radiant smile, “Please, Boss Sun.”

Pei Jinye, still wearing the gloves, opened the wooden box, finding five more small triangular bayonets.

After checking each one, he collected them with satisfaction.

“Take care, Boss Sun.”

The artifact refining master sniffed the banknotes at his nose, beaming with joy.

And the sturdy man had already turned back to continue wiping the red tassled spear.

In the outskirts.

In the uninhabited mountain woods.

Pei Jinye used his telekinesis to control the six triangular military spikes on his body to dart out swiftly.

The trees in front fell at the sound.

Several square-shaped holes appeared at the broken parts.

“The explosive power is nice, but the range is a bit short… If my spiritual power were stronger, during a fight, I would surely be able to deliver an unexpectedly fatal blow to the enemy!”

Pei Jinye was satisfied and with a gesture, the six triangular military spikes flew back into his hands within the telekinesis range.

At the front door of his home.

A few more smiles appeared on Pei Jinye’s face.

A greenish light orb was exceedingly enticing.

He touched it with his fingertip.

[+1 Strength Series Extraordinary Gene Fragments]

This was his second +1 Strength Series Extraordinary Gene Fragment.

If he obtained three, he would be able to successfully fuse them into a complete Extraordinary-Human Gene…

At that time…another extraordinary ability would emerge.

Strength Series…Transcendent.

He was still looking forward to it.

“Boom!”

Suddenly.

A huge explosion resounded not far from the residential area.

Pei Jinye even felt the ground shaking violently beneath him, his face changed color, he quickly leaped out of the building and onto the open ground outside the apartment block.

To the northwest, a towering blaze shot into the sky.

It was hard to imagine how many tons of explosives had caused such an earth-shaking blast.

Pei Jinye’s gaze grew solemn.

Could it have been those guys from the Old Gods Association who had done this?

If it was…then Black Shark was definitely a fucking lunatic!

Wasn’t he afraid that the city hall would turn Da Peng City upside down?

As Pei Jinye was thinking, the lights in the residential buildings behind him turned on one after another, and many residents hurriedly dressed and fled their homes.

“Was there an earthquake?”

“No, it’s probably just another fight between two groups… what kind of world is this?”

Pei Jinye turned back to look.

The bald old man on the ground floor and the Mediterranean old man from across the way were cursing under their breath.

The landlady appeared too, draped in a coat: “What’s happened?”

The bald old man looked at her and shook his head: “Don’t know which bastard buried explosives in the middle of the night…”

The seventh-floor resident was a young guy, who fogged up his glasses before wiping them and staring northwest, seemingly making some judgment; he hesitated and said, “If I’m not mistaken, isn’t there a factory over there?”

“A factory?”

“Yeah, there is one, the Xinghua Construction Factory… It was built thirty years ago, but they said last year it went bankrupt. They’ve been trying to sell it ever since, but it’s still unsold.”

“They say it caught the eye of Heaven God Group.”

“Again with this Heaven God… Their news has been non-stop these past few days.”

As they spoke, the floating police cars of the Night Patrol Department, with flashing lights, zoomed past, and many onlooking residents, seemingly chill from the night air, cursed and went back inside.

Pei Jinye had already returned to his room and was the first to leave while everyone else was busy discussing the matter, so the landlady didn’t realize Little Li was missing until she came to her senses.

“Strange, did I see the wrong person earlier?”

Inside the room.

Two cell phones lay before Pei Jinye, one his encrypted personal phone and the other a secret phone from the Old Gods Association.

He took a sip of the fruit drink in his hand.

Then he sat down cross-legged and began his spiritual practice.

It seemed that apart from the awakened residents and the fire-rescuing Night Patrol Department, no one else paid any further attention to the explosion at the Xinghua Construction Factory that night.

Early the next morning.

In the breakfast shop at the Entrance of the Bronze Association.

Tang Huoyang was burst with excitement, “The Xinghua Construction Factory exploded last night!”

He excitedly looked at Pei Jinye, his face screaming “Quick, ask me, ask me.”

Pei Jinye calmly finished his bun and reached out his hand, saying, “Boss, another steamer, please.”

Tang Huoyang, disappointed, still lowered his voice and said, “The city hall is in an uproar over this, you’d never guess, but it’s because of the explosion that they’ve just found out, there were shocking secrets hidden in Xinghua Construction.”

“Secrets?” Pei Jinye glanced at him: “You’d better not tell me about this business, I’m somebody who fears death.”

Tang Huoyang was taken aback: “Fuck, you’re making me anxious. Let’s just say it cryptically, Xinghua Construction’s basement was hollowed out, and there were fragments of human experimentation left… So it’s enough to prove that someone was carrying out biochemical experiments beneath that factory, experiments that are expressly forbidden by the Federation!”

Pei Jinye looked at him, speechless.

Is this what is called being cryptic?
