Orderly tyrant

Life seemed to have completely calmed down.

Every day, Lin Qing took one EPS series high-energy sustained-release liquid, which was just enough to pay off the debt of practicing the modified Qi Qi version four times a day.

Estimating it, if all goes well, he would be able to pay it off by February 25th.

In addition, he also needed to pay off the debt for the battle skill 'Speed'.

The patrol work gradually returned to the ordinary routine, without even a chance for a third-class merit, and hardly any major criminals were found.

If his Order level was not still only 1.2, Lin Qing would have really thought that the public security of this society had completely improved.

Moreover, the Public Security Bureau was urging the patrol side to increase their efforts every day, saying that missing persons cases were occurring frequently, complaining that the patrols were just freeloaders.

This also made Lin Qing understand—

In places beyond sight, evil and chaos must still be lurking in the darkness.

Under the seemingly calm life, there were still undercurrents surging, which could swallow him at any time.

Even if Xiao Peidong didn't know about the Patrol Headquarters' cultivation of him, he would definitely be wary of his potential and worry about him being promoted to Patrol Officer.

There would definitely be a response later.

If Xiao Peidong was really an informant of the Iris Society, once his threat was confirmed, then he would really be in danger.

Therefore, the current calm was just an illusion.

One day, this peaceful life would be torn apart by the lurking storm.

And Lin Qing also understood that all he could do was try his best to improve himself, make himself stronger, and retain more trump cards.

……

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

[Completed 'Battle Skill Speed']

On February 6th, at noon, Lin Qing finally completed the last practice of the battle skill 'Speed', paying off the overdrafted battle skill 'Speed'.

"Finally paid it off…"

Lin Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief, and without waiting any longer, he summoned the Nth Entropy panel and with a thought—

"Order."

"Overdraft, Battle Skill 'Micro'!"

As early as the second night after he learned the battle skill 'Micro', he had already successfully entered the basics.

After cultivating the two Free Body series battle skills 'Agility' and 'Speed' to the instinctive level, the bonus for cultivating the Free Body series battle skills became more obvious.

In just a day and a half, he successfully entered the basics.

This speed was already very fast, and even without overdrafting, he was confident that he could master the battle skill 'Micro' within three months.

But it would be foolish not to use overdraft when it was available.

This was the most efficient self-effort.

There was no way, he was the kind of person who liked to rely on his own efforts the most.

"Boom!"

At this moment, countless inexplicable information was constantly pouring into Lin Qing's mind.

According to the Nth Entropy's deduction—

With his talent and his compatibility with the Free Body series battle skills, if he wanted to cultivate the battle skill 'Micro' to the extreme, he had to completely connect the invisible force transformed from mysterious energy to every bone, muscle, and skin throughout his body, be omnipresent, and condense it to the most extreme level.

Only after completing it 46 times in a row could he perfectly integrate the battle skill changes into his instincts.

Then, a massive amount of memories suddenly appeared in Lin Qing's mind.

It was the memory of him trying to cultivate the battle skill 'Micro', from being clumsy to approaching perfection, experiencing countless hard practices.

By the time he perfectly integrated the battle skill 'Micro' into his instincts, too much time had passed.

At the same time, Lin Qing's body began to tremble at an alarming frequency, and wisps of strange invisible force quickly ran through his body, sometimes spreading like clouds, sometimes condensing like hair strands, at will, meticulous and subtle.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Success."

Lin Qing looked at his hands, feeling a strange sensation that he couldn't explain.

He suddenly picked up a retro-style porcelain cup on the table, and then gently flicked the teacup with his fingertip.

With a seemingly harmless flick, the teacup trembled slightly and then silently turned into a large amount of debris, falling from his hand.

"Huff…"

Then, Lin Qing's single hand turned into a blurry afterimage, his palm completely enveloped in a layer of invisible airflow, barely hearing the sound of wind breaking, and he caught a large amount of falling debris in his hand.

Not a single fragment was able to fall.

"Micro…"

Lin Qing gently clenched his fist, and the debris of the teacup completely turned into fine powder.

Immediately, his figure blurred, and he instantly appeared in front of the trash can two meters away, shaking his hand, and the powder in his hand was completely shaken off, accurately falling into the trash can.

And his palm remained as clean as ever, spotless.

"It's really completely different…"

"It's time."

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Qing's lips.

……

Xiao Shan District Patrol Branch, private training room next to the captain's office.

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"Huff…"

Xiao Peidong slowly exhaled, took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then sat down to rest.

At the same time, he took out a seemingly ordinary metal tube from the cabinet next to him, poured the light golden liquid inside into his mouth, and began to silently wait for the medicinal effects to take effect.

"As expected of the EPS series high-energy sustained-release liquid, it's really powerful…"

Xiao Peidong revealed a hint of a smile, "At this rate, I will soon be able to reach the limit of the modified Qi Qi version practice method, but…"

He slowly restrained his smile, and glanced at his right arm, where a peculiar sun-like tattoo gradually emerged, making his expression gradually complicated.

This was his biggest secret, also his most painful memory, and the motivation that had spurred him forward to this day.

Xiao Peidong slowly took a deep breath, causing the tattoo on his right arm to disappear.

"Can't relax, must climb up with all my strength…"

"Although the genetic modification that the organization experimented on me in the past was extremely painful, it also made me more closely attuned to the second energy level's mysterious energy. As long as I can sense the outside world, I will soon be able to practice the original Morning Sun practice method…"

"It's just that I'm short of the super-sensory original liquid in Zhou Yang's hands."

Xiao Peidong's eyes suddenly turned cold, "That slutty fox, she clearly already has the super-sensory original liquid but refuses to give it to me, and wants to bargain with me again, hmph, after I get to the top…"

He always had a sense of urgency in his heart, as if an invisible beast was chasing him relentlessly behind his back.

Because…

He had seen the true darkness of this world.

Even if it was just the tip of the iceberg, it made him like a stray dog that had fallen into a vortex, struggling desperately, only able to bark uselessly, and never able to break free.

So he could only be a house dog, swimming desperately, falling into the water would not drown, but staying in the water would inevitably drown.

"I wonder when Lin Qing will master the second battle skill…"

Xiao Peidong always had worries in his heart, but he could only try to comfort himself as much as possible.

"The modified Qi Qi version practice method is not so easy to master, he shouldn't have succeeded yet… Even if he succeeds, as long as I master the original Morning Sun practice method as soon as possible, he won't be able to steal the captain's position…"

Suddenly—

"Beep beep."

A sound suddenly came from the office.

The work computer in the captain's office would only make this sound when it received important information.

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Peidong frowned slightly, then metal textures appeared on both of his hands, completely crushing the metal tube in his hand into a small ball and throwing it into the trash can, before walking into the office.

Sitting in front of the work computer, he opened the important information he had just received.

The next moment, he was suddenly stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief, filled with incredible shock.

"How is that possible…"

[The results of the vice-captain assessment application for First-Class Patrol Officer Lin Qing are as follows: Confirmed to have mastered two battle skills, and has mastered the modified Qi Qi version of the Morning Sun practice method, and has accumulated six third-class merits. The current application has been approved]

[The patrol system has confirmed that Lin Qing's rank has been changed to 'Third-Class Patrol Officer']

[Please, acting captain Xiao Peidong, verify the information as soon as possible and adjust the corresponding work for the new Patrol Officer Lin Qing's vice-captain position]

[Finally, let us congratulate Comrade Lin Qing on his promotion to Patrol Officer!]
