First-Class Merit, truly a feat that countless inspectors in the inspection world dream of.

Just a single First-Class Merit has brought astonishing changes to Lin Qing.

Firstly, the combined bounty for wanted criminal Chu Tianyao across various countries totals—

Eight million six hundred and fifty thousand!

This is the bounty amount carried by an S-Class wanted criminal.

Secondly, the Municipal Bureau and the Branch Bureau also have rewards, adding up to seven hundred thousand.

This is practically a fortune.

For Lin Qing, many benefits cannot be bought with money; they can only be obtained through meritorious service or rank.

Adding to his previous savings of over a million, his current savings have reached eight figures.

With these tens of millions in savings, he has enough to solve most things that require money.

He has no interest in luxury goods, expensive cars, etc., so naturally, he won't spend his money on those things.

After all, nothing is more fascinating than the changes brought about by the rise of personal strength, and the status and power brought by the rise of rank are pleasures that money can hardly buy.

“The review for the Inspector Captain rank change has also been directly approved.”

Lin Qing noticed the change in honorifics in the Inspector System message and nodded to himself.

Anyway, his strength has already been revealed, and the headquarters knows that he has learned six battle techniques, so he applied for the Inspector Captain assessment a few days ago.

At that time, it was confirmed that he had mastered all six battle techniques in his body, and after practicing the original Dawn Body Refinement Technique, his strength was sufficient, and only a First-Class Merit was needed to be promoted to 'Inspector Captain'.

Now that the First-Class Merit has been approved, the rank has immediately changed to 'Inspector Captain'.

He is also the second Inspector Captain in Lin'an City!

Although Xu Qiu is strong enough, he cannot be promoted to Inspector Captain without sufficient Second-Class Merits or a single First-Class Merit.

“The authority and benefits of the Inspector Captain are quite numerous.”

Lin Qing clicked on the details sent by the Inspector System and, after reading for a while, understood the changes brought about by becoming an Inspector Captain.

The most useless thing is the monthly salary of twenty thousand.

Compared to other benefits, twenty thousand is just a little bit of living expenses.

The most important thing is the internal channel benefits of the inspection system.

For example, he can now apply to the headquarters to customize the latest high-precision weapons, clothing made of special materials, and exchange for 'AT series high-energy slow-release liquid' and 'gene optimization agents' that are useful for the original Dawn Body Refinement Technique.

The former has the same effect as the previous slow-release liquid, while the latter can allow the energy of the second level to promote gene optimization faster.

Although he has already cultivated to perfection and doesn't need these two, he still has to repay his debts, and if there are enough of these two agents, he can replenish them faster.

“It's just too expensive, I can't afford to exchange for much with money…”

Lin Qing muttered to himself helplessly.

A set of AT series high-energy slow-release liquid costs 1.55 million, and even with the Inspector Captain's internal benefit price, it still costs 1.1 million per set.

Gene optimization agents are even more expensive!

Each one can increase the gene optimization efficiency of the original Dawn Body Refinement Technique by one to two times.

Each one costs 2.6 million, and that's the internal benefit price.

If he's lucky, maybe a dozen will be enough, but if he's unlucky, it will be dozens or hundreds.

“High-energy slow-release liquid with three times the efficiency, that would require 120, and just the high-energy slow-release liquid alone would require twelve sets, which is more than ten million.”

Lin Qing silently calculated his upcoming expenses, “Gene optimization agents are an even bigger expense, at least tens of millions, and it's still uncertain exactly how much will be needed.”

This is too expensive.

Lin Qing suddenly felt that the tens of millions of funds lying in his bank account were not that much after all.

“I can only take it slowly.” Lin Qing took a deep breath.

If he's lucky, he'll be able to pay off the debt for replenishing the 'original Dawn Body Refinement Technique' in one hundred and twenty days.

“Looking at the agents?”

Yuan Anping, the Captain-General sitting next to him at this commendation meeting, glanced over and said in a low voice, “These can actually be offset with merit points. A Second-Class Merit can be used as a 40% discount coupon, as long as a single purchase doesn't exceed three million.”

“Second-Class Merit?” Lin Qing immediately checked and found that this was indeed the case.

A 40% discount is okay, not that exaggerated.

“Don't worry, gene awakening is still a long way off.”

Yuan Anping sat upright, seemingly watching the leader's speech, but actually secretly chatting, “You can buy gene optimization agents later anyway; they're only useful after your physical fitness reaches its limit.”

“Yeah, I know.” Lin Qing nodded slightly.

But he muttered to himself inwardly.

His physical fitness was naturally already at its limit when he overdrafted it.

This cannot be distinguished by detection instruments alone, because everyone's physical fitness limit is different.

Detection instruments can only determine whether the original Dawn Body Refinement Technique has been mastered based on the energy level of the mysterious energy in the cells.

Including the telepathic probe and the life detection instrument brought by the headquarters, they are actually based on this principle.

They only determine strength based on different energy levels.

Once the original Dawn Body Refinement Technique is mastered, even if it is cultivated to perfection, the life field will not increase much even if the physical fitness is slightly improved. This is the limit of the human body.

“By the way, what is your gene awakening probability?” Yuan Anping asked curiously in a low voice.

Lin Qing glanced at him and said without blushing or skipping a beat, “11%, I guess.”

“That high?”

Yuan Anping couldn't help but look at him in surprise, clicking his tongue and sighing, “Your natural gene awakening probability is so high. The headquarters will give priority to you for any gene optimization benefits. You've made it big.”

“Really?” Lin Qing feigned surprise.

Of course.

He already knew this.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have deliberately gone to test his gene awakening probability not long after breaking through with the Dawn Body Refinement Technique.

This was to make the higher-ups think—

He originally had more than a 10% chance of completing gene awakening.

Some time ago, when he was studying relevant cases of gene awakening, he discovered a pattern.

That is—

The greater the probability of gene awakening, the greater the support and attention given by the higher-ups, especially if the talent itself is also high. The higher-ups can't wait to maximize the awakening probability and minimize the possibility of failure as much as possible.

And for those whose gene awakening probability is already very low, the higher-ups will only think that it is not worth wasting too many resources.

For example, for someone with a 1% probability of awakening, the higher-ups might feel that increasing it to 30% is not much different from increasing it to 40%, since they still have to take risks.

The possibility of awakening failure is very high.

But for someone with a 10% probability of awakening, if they try their best to support it, they might reach 60% or even 70%.

There is a high probability of success.

In comparison, it is more cost-effective to ensure the success of those with a greater probability of awakening.

Therefore, Lin Qing went for gene testing early.

If the higher-ups know that his awakening probability is 11% after only practicing the original Dawn Body Refinement Technique for a short time, they will naturally think that it is innate.

As long as the higher-ups support him as much as possible, even if they increase the success of awakening by 40%, that is still a 50% success rate.

Of course, Lin Qing plans to raise this probability as much as possible.

At least to reach a 60% probability before considering it.

Because…

Under the condition of 60% awakening probability, there will never be a situation of gene collapse leading to death, eliminating the risk of death.

Only failure will cause the gene shackles to become more solid.

In simple terms—

Each gene awakening failure reduces the awakening probability by 5% to 20%.

If he's lucky, it will only reduce the success rate by 5%, but if he's unlucky, it will reduce it by 20%, or even lead to gene collapse and death.

After the commendation meeting ended, Lin Qing was too lazy to stay on the scene and went straight to the battle technique secret room of the branch bureau.

The Municipal Bureau said that he could go to the Municipal Inspection Bureau to serve as the Deputy Captain-General and give him a different office.

But Lin Qing wasn't interested.

Anyway, in a few months, he will have to go to the Inspection Headquarters.

This period of time is mainly for cultivation, so does it matter where he is?

Moreover, Zhao Jiayi and his cousin are both in the Xiaoshan Branch Bureau. He suspects that the Original Research Institute may not have given up yet, so being closer makes it easier to take care of them.

…

…

Inside the dim secret room.

“Lin Qing, every time I see you, you bring me surprises.”

That hoarse voice said with some emotion, “I haven't seen you for a while, and you have actually mastered the original Dawn Body Refinement Technique and become an Inspector Captain?”

He didn't find it strange that he had mastered the Free Body series of battle techniques.

After all, Lin Qing is a battle technique genius, and one of his battle techniques has been cultivated to the instinctive level, so it is normal to master the entire series of battle techniques so quickly.

But the original Dawn Body Refinement Technique is different. The reason why the higher-ups gave a four-year deadline is because the original Dawn Body Refinement Technique really depends on luck, and it's hard to say when it will be mastered.

“Just lucky.”

Lin Qing smiled and asked, “The First-Class Merit has been granted, so I can study whatever I want now, right? Those three awakening methods, and the original 《Free Body》 with Special-Class Merit authority?”

“Yes.” That hoarse voice said, “Which one do you want to see first?”

He paused and said, “Since you have already mastered the Free Body series of battle techniques, you should be able to remember the original 《Free Body》 now. You can also take a look at it earlier. Although you can't cultivate it now, immersing yourself in the original spiritual artistic conception will also benefit you.”

“Can't cultivate it? Why?” Lin Qing asked in confusion.

“The original 《Free Body》 is generally for gene awakeners to cultivate.”

That somewhat hoarse voice said, “Gene awakeners can control their own genes and make them more suitable for the original 《Free Body》, so it is possible to master it. As for those who have not awakened…”

He said, “At least the simplified version must reach the instinctive level, and the compatibility with the battle technique must be high enough to have a certain hope of cultivating and mastering it.”

Lin Qing thoughtfully asked, “Will cultivating the simplified version to the instinctive level change genes?”

“Yes.” That hoarse voice said, “Otherwise, how would your compatibility with the battle technique become higher and higher?”

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

That mysterious energy will affect genes, although it is very slight and completely imperceptible, but battle techniques that have been cultivated to the instinctive level normally take many years to succeed.

This long period of time is probably to wait for the genes to be changed little by little to become more compatible with the battle technique.

“So…”

Lin Qing suddenly asked, “If the original 《Free Body》 reaches the instinctive level, will it change genes even more?”

“Yes, quite a lot.” That hoarse voice said, “But almost only gene awakeners can cultivate the original 《Free Body》 to the instinctive level. It is basically impossible before gene awakening.”

“Almost?” Lin Qing immediately caught the keyword.

“There is also a slight other possibility.”

That hoarse voice said, “If gene improvement is optimized, and it is multiple optimizations in a direction more suitable for the original 《Free Body》, there is indeed hope of reaching the instinctive level before gene awakening, but the possibility is minimal.”

“Okay.” Lin Qing shook his head slightly.

It also requires multiple gene optimizations suitable for the 《Free Body》 direction to have a slight chance.

With this time, it is better to try hard to awaken the genes.

“Then I will study the original 《Free Body》 battle technique first.” Lin Qing said.

“Okay.”

The next moment, the projection in front of him began to change, and at the same time, that hoarse voice sighed, “Your luck is really good. It takes a Special-Class Merit to exchange for a chance to study this original battle technique once at the headquarters.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

It's just because he is a battle technique genius, so they gave him a chance in advance.

The next moment, a strange image appeared in front of Lin Qing.

It was a star map.

Visible in the map is the vast and boundless universe, with endless celestial bodies constantly moving. The overwhelming grandeur and boundlessness, seemingly without pressure, immediately gave him a feeling of being as small as dust.

After carefully distinguishing, Lin Qing found that the movement of these celestial bodies actually faintly had traces of the artistic conception of the six simplified battle techniques.

Compared with this original spiritual visualization map, the simplified version seems too crude and ordinary.

The vast and grand movement of celestial bodies, simplified to six spiritual images, only has a few artistic conceptions left. The nature of the performance is similar, but the nature of the mysterious energy is completely different.

It is not simulated electricity, wind, etc., but the real excavation of the most primitive and basic power from the stars!

It seems single and pure, but in fact, the spiritual visualization images of the six simplified battle techniques gathered together are far less profound.

After a while, the demonstration of the original 《Free Body》 battle technique ended.

Lin Qing slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It is indeed quite difficult. The difficulty of entry is quite high.”

“It doesn't matter, don't worry.”

That hoarse voice said, “The original battle technique is different. You can come and feel the spiritual visualization map of this 《Free Body》 at any time. Gene breakthroughs are not just simple material phenomena. They are also closely related to your mental and spiritual state.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly, “That's good. I thought I could only visualize it once.”

“That difficulty would be too high, and I wouldn't let you see it now.” That hoarse voice said with a laugh.

“There are still three awakening methods, right?” Lin Qing asked.

“Yes.”

That hoarse voice said, "However, these three awakening methods are actually quite useless. We only allow first-class merit recipients to study them in the hopes that something might come of it."

"Useless?" Lin Qing wasn't surprised.

"Take a look for yourself."

As the hoarse voice spoke, projections appeared on the surrounding three walls, displaying three dense texts.

They were [Gene Awakening Method], [Telekinesis Awakening Method], and [Authority Awakening Method].
