Second day.

+1 Strength Series Extraordinary Gene Fragments

A mechanical voice echoed in Pei Jinye’s mind, his face suffused with joy as he finally collected all three strength series gene fragments.

“Brother Ye?”

Not far away, the chubby tablemate urged with confusion.

“Coming.” Pei Jinye gathered his emotions, currently surrounded by the bustling arcade, it wasn’t a good idea to choose to merge right away to avoid causing a sensation and attracting more attention.

The chubby kid exchanged for some tokens and handed Pei Jinye a basket of game coins, then planned to exchange another hundred yuan’s worth, but Pei Jinye stopped him.

He had money to earn, but the chubby kid’s money all came from his family, no need to waste it like this.

“Play first, I’ll buy more if it’s not enough,” Pei Jinye gestured to the chubby kid to go ahead and have fun.

The chubby kid thought it over and agreed, “Brother Ye, shall we go play the claw machine later?”

Pei Jinye glanced over with amusement, “Didn’t expect you to have a little girl’s heart.”

The chubby kid scratched his head, embarrassed, “That day was Wang Jing’s birthday. She took us here to play, and she alone won ten dolls. It was absolutely shocking, for like ten thousand years.”

Pei Jinye chuckled, took some game coins from the basket, and handed the basket back to the chubby kid, “Come on, let’s have a look.”

“Hiss, it was so close again!”

“Damn, it popped out again!”

The chubby kid stared intently at the mechanical claw, smacking it hard.

Watching the green Squirtle toy being lifted, he was nervous until it finally dropped, rolled down the barrier, and then he came back to his senses, ecstatic, “Hahaha, finally got it!”

Turning his head about to call for Pei Jinye, he saw Pei Jinye standing by his side, smiling in congratulations, holding three dolls in his hands. The chubby kid was stunned, “Brother Ye, how come I never knew about your claw machine skills?”

A young female employee walked over, handed over a plastic bag, and indicated that Pei Jinye could put the dolls in it.

Pei Jinye nodded thankfully, tossed the dolls into the bag, and handed it to the chubby kid, “When you play the claw machine, be aware of your surroundings. Some people play many times without success. When they leave, you go and try their machine; your chances of winning will be a lot higher.”

“Wow Brother Ye, what you said is almost exactly the same as what Wang Jing said.”

Pei Jinye watched the chubby kid’s exaggerated reactions, shaking his head with a chuckle, “What do you want to play next? Street Fighter?”

“Yeah, It’s been a while since I fought against you, Brother Ye. Let me see if your skills have slipped!”

“Junior Brother?” Suddenly, a call from a young man came from behind.

Pei Jinye looked back doubtfully.

Across from him was a young man in a suit, in his early twenties, surrounded by some people. When he saw Pei Jinye looking over, he confirmed his recognition and smiled as he came over, “This is rare, I used to see you training in the hall, didn’t think I’d catch you here.”

Pei Jinye remembered him; he had been an inhouse student, but he had forgotten his name—it seemed to be Lin.

“Senior Brother.” He nodded and smiled, and then it occurred to him, “Is this place your family’s business?”

“Right, haha, what a coincidence.” Lin Ji laughed and nodded, reaching out to signal. A staff member beside him handed over a VIP card and passed it on, “I didn’t know you liked this. If I’d known earlier, I would’ve called you to play together. I am the street overlord.”

Pei Jinye took the card, smiling, “Senior Brother, would you like to play a round together?”

“Sure.”

The employees beside him looked like they wanted to say something, but seeing how spontaneously their young master had taken an interest, they glanced dubiously at Pei Jinye, completely unaware of his identity, only occasionally looking down at their watches.

The chubby kid stepped aside, watching the two intrigued.

But if he hadn’t mistaken what he just heard, this guy in the suit said that this arcade was his family’s.

Holy shit… wasn’t he like the boss of their boss at the arcade?

He looked back and forth between Pei Jinye and Lin Ji, endlessly wondering.

“Didn’t Old Tang come today?” Lin Ji chatted as they played.

“He went to the hall first; I’ll go find him later,” Pei Jinye responded, pressing a few keys on the game, engaging in a tussle with Lin Ji.

“Haha, Junior Brother, your skills are not shallow,” Lin Ji said, his character losing a third of its health and he laughed, “Watch out, I’m going to use my special move.”

The buttons were smacked loudly, the character controlled by Pei Jinye’s health quickly drained, but when only a third was left, Pei Jinye seized the opportunity, pounding Lin Ji’s character into mid-air.

As both were preparing to use their ultimates to decide the outcome, suddenly both Lin Ji’s phone and Pei Jinye’s phone started ringing at the same time. Both were surprised and paused to check the caller ID.

After exchanging looks, they both nodded.

Lin Ji stood up to answer the phone, while Pei Jinye, less concerned with niceties, sat beside the game console to take Tang Huoyang’s call.

“Old Pei! There’s been a big problem!” Tang Huoyang spoke frantically.

“What’s the big issue?”

“I just got the news, last night Wei Xia was in a car accident, he and the driver died on the spot… and,” Tang Huoyang lowered his voice, “it’s essentially determined that this was a murder, Wei Xia got beat to death.”

“Really? Is this for real?” Pei Jinye paused, his voice rising several notches.

“Come to the hall, Teacher Chang has been alerted and he might have something to tell us.”

“Understood, I’ll be right there.”

Pei Jinye hung up the phone. Senior Brother Lin was still on a call; Pei Jinye simply turned to the chubby kid, “Something came up and I can’t continue to play with you. Take this card… I don’t have time to play now, should I… maybe give it to you after your exams are over?”

Initially hesitant, upon hearing that Pei Jinye would only give him the VIP card after eight months, the chubby kid quickly grabbed it, “Thanks, Brother Ye. Brother Ye is generous, Brother Ye is awesome!”

Pei Jinye playfully cursed at him.

“Junior Brother, shall we go to the hall together? I’ll drive you there,” Lin Ji said then, looking solemn.

Pei Jinye knew he had heard the news about Wei Xia, nodded in agreement.

Lin Ji gestured to the middle-aged man beside him, “Old Li, go get the car.”

“Yes, young master.”

“Brother Ye, see you later.” The chubby boy waved through teary eyes, yet he was seated in front of a gaming console, his legs seemingly rooted to the spot. As soon as Jinye left, he didn’t even have time to wipe away his tears before he swiped his card for another game.

There was affection, but it was all about skills.

In the car.

Lin Ji was amused by the chubby boy’s behavior, but thinking of Wei Xia’s death, the smile on his face faded considerably. He said gravely, “You’ve heard about what happened to Wei Xia, haven’t you, junior?”

“Brother Tang just told me over the phone.” Jinye nodded and looked at him, seemingly noticing that the other man had something to say, so he followed up with a question, “Does senior know something already?”

“I’ve heard… it was a murder!” Lin Ji’s voice was low, almost nervous, which made Jinye suspicious.

What was he nervous about?

I’m not even nervous, so why is he?

From what Jinye remembered, Senior Lin didn’t have much interaction with Wei Xia.

Mainly because Wei Xia had a proud nature and looked down on Lin Ji’s family background.

“Senior?” Jinye asked with concern.

Lin Ji took a deep breath and waved his hand, “I’m fine. Heard that Wei Xia had already been ambushed before. Now someone’s directly killed him, who knows who he offended?”

Jinye guessed he might be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and decided not to say more.

“Did Wei Xia offend many people?”

Hearing Jinye ask this, Lin Ji couldn’t help but glance at him, almost as if to say that Jinye was one of them, but he didn’t voice that accusation. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Wei Xia… Well, let’s not speak ill of the dead.”

Jinye almost wanted to give him a thumbs up.

Many students had already gathered within the Bronze Association, both Inhouse Students and Outer Sect Students, and the atmosphere inside the venue seemed especially oppressive today.

As one of the core students of this session of the Bronze Association, Wei Xia had been beaten to death on his way home.

If it were them, might they encounter such assassinations in the future?

In the spacious courtyard, many people stood.

Even Fang Tianjian was there.

When he saw Jinye and Lin Ji coming together, he raised his eyebrows slightly but merely nodded slightly to Jinye and then stood quietly in place.

In the room, Teacher Chang stood before two middle-aged men.

“They are from the Wei Family…” Lin Ji whispered to signify as much.

Jinye nodded in understanding and stepped forward.

At that moment, Tang Huoyang also came over, pulling Jinye aside and spoke softly, “The Wei Family came to see Teacher Chang, trying to find the cause of Wei Xia’s death…”

Jinye looked up.

Teacher Chang was still talking to the other party.

Tang Huoyang said in a low voice, “I heard Teacher Chang say that Wei Xia was first involved in a car accident, his internal organs were already impacted, and then someone used great force to break his arm. The fatal blow was his chest cavity being shattered… The murderer’s strength was immense, and even the Night Patrol Department suspects the murderer is a Body Technique System Transcendent.”

Upon hearing this, Jinye remained silent.

Averting his gaze to the inside of the house.

The Wei Family members just left, looking very upset.

“Farewell, Teacher Chang, take care.”

After saying that, they boarded the car at the door, and quickly drove away.

It seemed that after Wei Xia’s hovercar accident last night, they no longer dared to activate the hover mode so readily.

After the Wei Family had left.

The students of the Association then immediately came forward to ask, “Teacher Chang, what happened to Wei Xia’s death?”

Teacher Chang stood silently at the door and said somberly, “This matter has nothing to do with our Bronze Association. It’s mostly troubles brought upon by his Wei Family… You all should not get involved, just focus on your cultivation.”

“Yes…”

The students dispersed in silence.

Tang Huoyang looked extremely troubled and, after moving with Jinye to the back mountain, couldn’t help but lament, “Who would have thought that the guy was still arguing with us yesterday during the day, and then got killed that same night… Dammit, no one would actually suspect us, right?”

While he was speaking.

Suddenly, a voice at the door called out to the two of them.

Tang Huoyang’s expression changed slightly.

“Crap, did I jinx it?”

Inside a room within the Bronze Association.

Jinye, Tang Huoyang, Teacher Chang, and individuals from the Night Patrol Department were all present.

“According to the information we have, just yesterday at around 11:27 A.M., you had a confrontation with Wei Xia at the Flame Mountain Restaurant, right? The middle-aged man asked unrushed.

“It was just a verbal conflict, no physical fight, officer, please be precise in your words.” Tang Huoyang replied irritably.

The middle-aged man smiled, “Don’t be nervous, I’m just asking as per procedure.”

He looked at Jinye, “I’ve heard that Wei Xia had a grudge with you?”

For a moment.

The atmosphere in the room turned eerie.
