I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 312 Special Mission, Xu Nan’s Reques

Logging off Weibo, Ye Lingchen entered the system menu.

A lot had happened recently, causing quite a commotion. Maybe his popularity points might bring him some surprise.

Ye Lingchen eagerly looked at the system menu.

With one look, the corner of his lips unwittingly transformed into a smile. What was around 80 thousand points had grown to 178988!

It went up by almost a hundred thousand popularity points!

Recently, due to Y Cosmetic’s sudden fame, it helped him gain quite a number of popularity points. Add to that Weibo’s poem event, Ye Lingchen did not expect them to bring him that much popularity points.

Both incidents were not planned by him. They were purely accidental gains.

Should he save up the popularity points for intermediate level skills?

Ye Lingchen was torn.

Intermediate skills were much stronger than basic skills. Take the Eight Extremities Brute Training for instance. Although Ye Lingchen’s body was unable to block bullets, he would not be easily injured. When his body grows stronger, he may be able to block bullets.

However, the cost of popularity points for an intermediate skill was hefty. Furthermore, there were too many skills that needed to be upgraded. He hardly had enough popularity points.

Ye Lingchen was frustrated. In the future, upgrading an intermediate skill to an advanced skill would cost him 10 million popularity points. Where would he get them from?

Meanwhile, he was extremely eager to find out just how terrifying advanced skills would be.

Ye Lingchen looked at the list of skills he had at full proficiency. Drawing, Fengshui Observation, Martial Body Fist, Culinary Skill, Farming, Singing, Calligraphy, Massage, German, Russian...

There were quite a number of skills. After looking at it repeatedly, there was no shortage of wonky skills. ‘Farming is considered a type of skill, but can someone tell me what it will evolve to?’

‘With so many skills waiting to be upgraded to the basic level, let’s do it!’

He spent 10 thousand popularity points.

Upgrade began!

The yellow glow flashed repeatedly, jumping over each skill. Ye Lingchen was both nervous and excited at the same time.

Finally, the yellow glow came to a halt and stopped right on top of Martial Body Fist!

‘Hot damn!’

‘Martial arts again?’

By all rationale, Ye Lingchen’s current need for martial arts was not very urgent. With the Eight Extremities Brute Training and Arhat Fist Force, he could already act with impunity. Unless faced with firearms, he was almost invincible.

Along with a golden flash, Martial Body Fist slowly changed into Dragon-Catcher Hand

‘This name...seems awesome.’

Ye Lingchen’s brows twitched slightly. Martial Body Fist was a Kungfu style that was made after collecting the strength of various forms. It was definitely full of potential. As expected, the name was domineering after the upgrade.

Martial Body Fist was mostly focused on grappling techniques, therefore Dragon-Catcher Hand was also based on grappling.

Ye Lingchen’s mind was suddenly filled with vast amounts of information regarding Dragon-Catcher Hand. Its moves were much more complex compared to Martial Body Fist. Just within the basic level alone, there were several hundreds of variations. The training difficulty was far beyond Arhat Fist Force and Eight Extremities Brute Training.

That was under the condition where he had a hack. If given to a normal person, it would be impossible for them to be trained in Dragon-Catcher Hand unless bestowed by divine talent.

However, he could not deny that Dragon-Catcher Hand was fearsome. It could pick out an enemy’s weakness and subdue them in the shortest time. It could also split tendons and dislocate bones, twisting the joints directly to immobilize the opponent.

As an example, if the Dragon-Catcher Hand went against Eight Extremities Brute Training, Dragon-Catcher Hand would subdue the Eight Extremities Brute Training in a flash. Although Eight Extremities Brute Training focused on defense, Dragon-Catcher Hand aimed for dislocation of joints and splitting tendons. Who could withstand that?

When both parties were of similar levels, this type of Kungfu was nothing short of a godly technique!

Following that, the day’s classes came to an end, and up next was another weekend.

Ring ring ring!

On the way home, Ye Lingchen’s phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, Ye Lingchen was surprised.

The caller was Xu Nan.

“Hello, Officer Xu.”

“Master, I have someone that requires your assistance.” Xu Nan had been addressing him as master ever since Ye Lingchen started teaching Xu Nan the Eight Extremities Brute Training.

“What’s the matter?”

Xu Nan hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Tonight, we’ll be executing a special mission. The targets are dangerous and there are more than one of them. I would like to have Master come along.”

“Time and location,” Ye Lingchen spoke calmly.

“Master, you’re fine with it?” Xu Nan was surprised. “Don’t you need to think about it? This mission is very dangerous. Furthermore—”

“It’s fine. You’re already calling me master, how can I not help?” Ye Lingchen answered with a smile.

To have Xu Nan invite him over with a phone call, this mission was definitely extraordinary. It should be noted that Xu Nan had been practicing the Eight Extremities Brute Training for some time and her abilities were improving at an alarming rate. Most missions would not pose any problems for her. Furthermore, it was easy to hear the determination in Xu Nan’s voice. It was obvious that she placed great importance on this mission.

Ye Lingchen had a good impression of Xu Nan. She was positive and strived for excellence. Furthermore, she was a hard worker. From her practice of Eight Extremities Brute Training, one could see her persistence. She was a good police officer.

Moreover, this was doing a good deed, contributing to the country. Why would he reject it?

“We’re in the suburbs nearby the university town. There are no landmarks here. I’ll send you a GPS location. Come meet us here,” Xu Nan replied with a laugh, feeling a warm feeling deep in her heart.

“Alright!” Ye Lingchen nodded.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the suburbs of the university town, weeds grew unabated. Looking up, one could see the rocks scattered over the ground, the distant mountain, and the shimmering outline of the dilapidated building in the fog.

They were very far from the city area, further out than the farming villages, standing over an undeveloped plot of land.

A Buick MPV was driving leisurely along the road. The MPV looked old and busted. Its paint faded at parts, and it looked absolutely inconspicuous. Inside it, was a total of six people including the driver.

Five men and a woman. That woman was Xu Nan. She had just ended her call with Ye Lingchen.

“Unreliable. I still feel that it’s unreliable!” One of the men said, seemingly frustrated. “Sergeant Gao, it’s sufficient to carry out this mission with just us. Why did you have to get some outsider to participate?”

“My master is not an outsider. Moreover, he’s amazing!” Xu Nan stated.

“Hehe, who knows what your master is like?” That person laughed coldly. “We all know what kind of mission we’re in. If any of this is leaked, whose responsibility will it be?”

“Li Hu, what do you mean? Are you suspecting me or are you suspecting my master?” Xu Nan’s brows knitted into a frown as she confronted him.

“Xu Nan, you need to fix that temper of yours. Don’t get too carried away with your tone! You’re the youngest among our entire team, and you’re a girl. You’re the easiest to trick and act impulsively. With our identity, we need to consider our actions carefully. Cautiousness will avoid mistakes,” said one of the more mature men among the team.

“But Sergeant Gao, didn’t you agree to my master joining us?”

“Since you trust your master that much, we can take this chance to get to know him. It’s good to get acquainted with each other.” Sergeant Gao chuckled.

Xu Nan’s expression turned ugly, and she asked grumpily, “Sergeant Gao, even you don’t trust my master?”

Although Sergeant Gao said it was to get to know him, it was another way of investigating him.

“Xu Nan, you’ve been following behind us ever since you graduated. Us uncles watched you advance step by step and treat you like our daughter. We just don’t want you to be cheated by someone,” interjected another person. “Furthermore, as an officer, we need to go through examinations. With you suddenly having a master, of course we have to learn about him.”

Xu Nan harrumphed, then kept quiet. She was obviously displeased.
