Chapter 2283: Chapter 2284: Cutting-edge Technology
Lin Yi returned to Luo Qi’s car, resting his hands behind his head as he sat in the passenger seat.
With his eyes closed, he stopped looking at the sea of flames ahead.
Luo Qi had her phone out, though it was unclear who she was calling.
She only said, “Lift the blockade,” and then got in the car.
Luo Qi stole a discreet glance at Lin Yi.
Then she looked back at the sea of flames.
...She had seen the woman in the car, who was very pretty, with a heroic demeanor, and seemed to work at the police station.
But that was all she knew.
She was just very curious about what that woman meant to their Squad Leader. What kind of extraordinary significance did she hold?
She really couldn’t figure it out.
Perhaps, that’s what set the Squad Leader apart from the rest.
The car started, and Luo Qi drove Lin Yi toward the direction of the hospital.
At that moment, the system’s notification sound echoed in Lin Yi’s mind.
[Mission completed: Reward 150,000 Master level driving skills.]
[Job completion rate: 90%, Reward Basic Cell Sensing Power enhancement.]
Lin Yi’s brows furrowed slightly as he wondered,
“Have I completed another trigger mission?”
[Mission Name: Redemption, completed.]
“Hmm? The Redemption mission is complete?”
Lin Yi felt somewhat surprised in his heart.
This mission had dragged on for over a month and was now unexpectedly completed under such circumstances.
“Heh…”
Lin Yi laughed at himself mockingly, so this is what so-called Redemption was.
Never before had there been a moment when Lin Yi felt such revulsion for a system task.
If possible, he wished he hadn’t completed this mission.
One hour later, Lin Yi returned to the hospital.
Suddenly, he had the sensation of having nothing to do, as if he were superfluous here.
Out of habit, Lin Yi went to the ICU, checking on Li Xianghui, whose condition was improving steadily.
Afterward, he explained the situation to the supervisor, preparing for Li Xianghui to leave the ICU.
After all, it wasn’t a nice place to be; even a healthy person could get freaked out and become sick.
The paperwork was handled quickly, and Li Xianghui was transferred to a high-care ward.
Yun Hu’s condition was also improving, and everything was headed in a positive direction.
There was nothing to do at the hospital, so Lin Yi went over to Li Chuhan’s place, chatted with her for a while, then headed to Chaoyang Group.
By the time he arrived, it was already past three in the afternoon.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Ji Qingyan putting in eye drops.
“Are your eyes uncomfortable?”
Ji Qingyan nodded, “A bit dry, probably because I’ve been too busy lately.”
Even though New Year’s Day had passed, the Lunar New Year was approaching fast, and there were still many things to keep busy with; Lin Yi was used to seeing Ji Qingyan like this.
“Take a rest if you’re tired, we’re not exactly short on money, there’s no need to work yourself so hard.”
“It’s probably a habit from my previous work schedule, it’ll get better.” Ji Qingyan subconsciously swept her hair aside, “What brings you back so early today? Have you dealt with all the cases in the hospital?”
Lin Yi nodded, lying on the soft sofa, “All done, I can take a break for a few days now.”
Ji Qingyan wanted to say something else but seeing Lin Yi’s exhausted figure, she swallowed her words back, wishing he would rest a bit more.
At this point, the system’s alert rang in his mind again.
[Please claim your reward within 24 hours.]
Hearing the system’s prompt, Lin Yi remembered he hadn’t claimed his system reward yet and silently said a word in his mind.
“Claim.”
Instantly, Lin Yi could feel a change in his body.
It was as if every cell in his body was becoming more active, almost as if they were pulsating.
This sensation lasted for just over a minute before stopping.
Once everything halted, Lin Yi felt like his body had undergone some change, but he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly had changed.
“System, this Cell Sensing Power enhancement you gave me, what exactly is it? What does it do?”
[It enhances the perception among cells, leading to a stronger sense of unity.]
“Huh?”
The system’s explanation left Lin Yi utterly confused and not understanding a bit of it.
“Can you simplify that? I graduated with a trashy bachelor’s degree; I can’t understand this stuff.”
[The stronger a biological entity’s cell sensing power, the tighter the cells will bind together, making them harder to damage.]
[The host can easily pierce a person’s chest with a knife, but doing the same to an elephant or a Rhinoceros would be relatively difficult due to different species. Individuals have varying levels of cell sensing power, resulting in different effects.]
Hearing these explanations, Lin Yi seemed to grasp the concept.
“Simply put, the interaction force between cells is stronger, so the skin’s surface defense has also become stronger, right?”
[That’s one way to understand it.]
Lin Yi nodded, understanding in his heart.
To summarize, his defensive power had become stronger.
There was nothing wrong with the reward itself, but the source of the reward piqued Lin Yi’s great interest.
Clearly, this fell within the field of biology, something that current human technology would struggle to achieve.
But whether it could be achieved in the future was another question.
Because this was an era of technological explosion.
“System, the reward you gave me this time, is it also from your era, like the Carbon-based Chip designs?”
[Yes.]
Lin Yi fell silent for a long time, feeling as if the system, this damn thing, had also changed over time.
Lin Yi didn’t know what this meant, but he always felt that something might happen.
An unpleasant premonition lingered in Lin Yi’s heart.
After receiving the system’s rewards, Lin Yi took out a scalpel and poked his skin with the tip of the blade, but felt nothing.
Such a change thrilled him.
Under normal circumstances, even if he were at Class C, being poked by a sharp object would still be felt.
But now, there was no feeling at all, which was enough to illustrate the awesomeness of the reward.
Lin Yi applied more force and finally felt a slight pain.
Without the enhancement, such an effort would certainly have resulted in a small cut.
“System, if the Basic level reward is this awesome, wouldn’t I become invulnerable if I get the highest level?”
[Yes, like Armor.]
“System is awesome; I owe you a meal when I have time.”
Stretching leisurely, Lin Yi rose from the sofa, and Ji Qingyan looked over instinctively.
“Done resting already?”
“It’s unfair for you to work so hard while I just lie here wasting life.”
Ji Qingyan laughed out loud, propping her cheek with one hand, watching Lin Yi.
“So, what do you want to do?”
“Wasting life is pointless, so let’s create a life instead.”
“Create one?”
Not giving Ji Qingyan the chance to react, Lin Yi moved behind her, lifting her up from the chair, and started lifting her uniform dress.
“You, what are you doing, this is the office.”
“What’s wrong with the office? If you don’t experience it at least once, you would have lived in vain.”
