On the night of Riverside City, Southeast Province, Zhongyun Empire, the Dragon River flowed silently through the city.

 This river divided the entire Riverside City into two.

 The west coast was a place with old districts and industrial areas. With the transfer of industries, the formerly bustling west coast quieted down.

 Only the places near the river were still popular.

 On the east side of the river, lights were everywhere, as bright as day, and crowds were surging.

 On the west bank, as long as they were some distance away from the river bank, other than the bright street lamps, there were only some lights in the residential area. The rest of the place was dark and quiet.

 Lin Zhendong, who was dressed in black sportswear, stood on an old water tower and looked into the distance.

 In the eyes of ordinary people, it was naturally pitch-black and nothing could be seen.

 But in his eyes, he could clearly see a blood-red barrier covering an abandoned factory a few kilometers away.

 This was not a special ability of his, but the function of a biochip that had been disguised as his brain tissue.

 That biochip was suddenly implanted by his father on his 12th birthday. At that time, he warned him harshly that he should not let on to anyone.

 Lin Zhendong did not even have time to ask before his father disappeared.

 A few days later, he received a letter informing him of his father's death.

 He became an orphan and grew up with his father's pension, the care of his father's company, and friendly neighbors.

 Lin Zhendong naturally suspected that his father's death was related to the chip in his brain that he could not detect.

 However, his father was not the only one who died heroically at that time. It was a mistake in a big operation that killed the elites of many joint units. At that time, the entire city mourned for it.

 He was also a young orphan. There was no way out. He did not even know where to start investigating.

 In addition, he had to follow his father's instructions. He could not tell anyone about the biochip, so his father's company could not borrow it.

 Finally, he had grown up safely and had never encountered such dangerous things as murder.

 Moreover, the neighbors were friendly, the father's company took care of him, and the classmates helped each other. His life was smooth and healthy.

 All of this made him wonder if he was thinking too much.

 Therefore, he could only hide this matter in his heart and confirm it when he found some clues.

 Lin Zhendong looked at the time at the corner of his eyes and sighed. "Well, the government's reaction was a little slow. It's a pity that I didn't break into the lair, not even the smallest lair. Otherwise, I would have made a fortune and wouldn't have to worry about my next meal." At this point, Lin Zhendong opened his hand, and a piece of White Jade Rice the size of a sunflower seed appeared in his hand.

 Then, he threw it into his mouth as if he was eating peanuts.

 Lin Zhendong smacked his lips a few times and felt the energy absorbed by his body. Then, he muttered in dissatisfaction, "I'm not happy. Half of my share was taken away. It's equivalent to me feeding two people with my share. I'm lucky that I didn't starve to death!"

 Then, he opened his hand, and another piece of White Jade Rice the size of a sunflower seed appeared.

 Just like that, he ate the White Jade Rice grain by grain.

 This wasn't a magic trick. Lin Zhendong had storage space.

 This storage space appeared automatically after the biochip was implanted.

 Lin Zhendong did not know how the storage function was connected to the chip in his brain.

 Anyway, after the chip was implanted, he naturally felt a storage space in the void and naturally knew how to use it.

 It was also at that moment that Lin Zhendong knew that the biochip in his brain was definitely an extraordinary item. It was definitely not a biochip that could be found on the market.

 This was because he had never heard of a biochip carrying a storage space.

 Now, the storage space was one meter in length, width, and height.

 This was the result of Lin Zhendong's many years of feeding because, in the beginning, it was only a space of 1 cm in length, width, and height.

 How to feed them? Eating all kinds of natural treasures.

 Half of the resources he ate were for Lin Zhendong himself, and the other half was for the biochip.

 However, it wasn't really a pleasant experience for him. The biochip had devoured half of Lin Zhendong's resources. Other than the increase in its storage space, its ability to sense hostility and discover lairs had also increased. Other than that, there was nothing else.

 Perhaps there was, but Lin Zhendong did not notice it.

 It was clearly a biochip, but there was no explanation of the response mechanism and auxiliary functions! Lin Zhendong had to figure it out himself.

 Lin Zhendong suddenly saw a sign. He looked up and saw the location of three silent assault helicopters in the dark night sky.

 "It's finally here." Lin Zhendong grinned, shifted his position, and turned his head to look at the main road.

 As expected, under the illumination of the street lamps, dozens of military carriers of the same style and color were roaring toward them.

"Hiss! More than 50 troop carriers? At least three squadrons had been dispatched! What a big move. Was this a cross-regional joint operation? Or is it the city's brigade?"

Lin Zhendong could not help but stretch his neck and mutter.

 They watched as the long line of military transport vehicles whizzed past from not far away toward the abandoned factory that was enveloped in red light.

 He watched as the three silent assault helicopters flew over his head.

 He did not dodge at all, not afraid of being targeted. This was because there were at least dozens of people like Lin Zhendong spying on the convoy from a few miles away.

 In the dark, it was unknown how many people were waiting eagerly.

 On the military transport vehicle, Chen Zhengyi, who had a resolute look on his face, saw the symbol on his tactical glasses and snorted disdainfully, "These rats that aren't even hyenas are really smart! We haven't even arrived, but they're already waiting around our destination."

 "Sir, shouldn't we arrest these people who are spying on us?" Huang Feng asked curiously as he held an assault rifle and saw the young man on the tactical glasses.

 Before Chen Zhengyi could answer, Shen Fei, who was checking the weapon in his hand, smiled and said, "Why did you capture them? They can perfectly clear out the lair after us. That saves us a lot of trouble."

 "But..." Huang Feng was still a little hesitant.

 Chen Zhengyi waved his hand. "Anyway, most of the money is in the hands of the Special Protection Department. It's not a bad thing to give them the rest of the rice crumbs as a reward for cleaning up the mess. They're also a part of the country. It's not a bad thing to use this to increase their strength. "

 "Oh." Huang Feng had no choice but to agree.

 Li Bin, who had not said anything before, smiled and said, "Xiaofeng, you don't have to think that there's a problem. As Sir said, firstly, they've cleaned up the mess for us. Secondly, they're also a part of the country. Thirdly, when the resources fall into their hands, a portion of them will end up in the black market. This will give others a way to obtain additional resources and increase their strength. What's wrong with killing two birds with one stone?"

 Shen Fei no longer cared about Huang Feng's attitude as a newcomer. He turned to Chen Zhengyi and said, "Boss, Dongdong has already celebrated his eighteenth birthday. What should we do with him?"

 "Of course it's to get him into university! He's about to take the college entrance examination!" Chen Zhengyi said without hesitation.

 Shen Fei said, "Boss, I got information from a source of mine. In a few years, all companies in the country will add an apprenticeship system. No matter how you get in, you must go through three years of apprenticeship. In addition to the three-year rotation system, if you want to become a regular employee, you have to endure for at least six years! Many people with connections have already joined the company now. We can't delay it!"

 "How can this be? Originally, the three-year rotation was actually a three-year internship. It was already annoying. Why was there a three-year apprenticeship system? He had to endure for six years! How many six years do you have in your life?" Chen Zhengyi flew into a rage. Li Bin could not help but frown. Only Huang Feng, the newcomer, had a look of relief.

 Shen Fei pursed his lips. "What else could it be? You have to blame the dramatic increase in the lifespan of the people in the country these years. If we did not increase the number of years required to become a full-time employee, the distribution of cultivation resources would definitely be greatly reduced. Instead of the old men holding a grudge, it was better to exploit the newcomers. So, Boss, we can't delay Dongdong's matter. Hurry up and let him take up his post."

 Huang Feng, who had been listening, had a glint in his eyes. He asked Li Bin in a low voice, "You can join the Special Protection Department at the age of 18?"

 "The son of a deceased martyr has the right to do so," Li Bin said calmly.

 Huang Feng was enlightened and did not say anything.

 Chen Zhengyi knew that Shen Fei's news was not fake and was very tempted. However, he also said hesitantly, "What if Dongdong gets into the university? Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

 Ben interjected, "Boss, it doesn't matter. After he gets the job, he will take the college entrance examination and become a commissioned student. After graduation, he will return to our company to be a leader. At that time, we will all have to salute him!"

 "That good? Haha, after this mission is completed, I'll help him get a job when I go back!" Chen Zhengyi slapped his thigh excitedly.

 "Haha, after Dongdong graduates, I, the old uncle of his, will have someone to rely on. I'll definitely be very comfortable then." Shen Fei also laughed.

 "Is this how you act as an elder?" Chen Zhengyi shouted in displeasure. Just as he was about to say something, his tactical glasses lit up and his earpiece gave an order. [Everyone, get ready. We are about to arrive at our destination!]

 Naturally, he immediately shut his mouth and led everyone in the car to check their weapons.
