Chapter 2

Lin Fei found a S County snack shop by the roadside, ordered a bowl of mixed noodles, flat meat, and a chicken stew pot for lunch. After finishing his meal, he found a place without cameras and used his third ability to return home.

Lin Fei's third ability is called spatial teleportation: he can teleport anywhere within 500 meters; for long-distance teleportation beyond 500 meters, he needs to mark the coordinates in advance, and the ability can instantly transport him to the marked location.

This ability has one drawback: after using long-distance teleportation, it needs a 10-minute cooldown before it can be used again. Additionally, when arriving at the destination, a spiritual energy fluctuation is generated, which could expose him if there are other ability users nearby. However, since he lives alone, there is no such risk. Therefore, every time Lin Fei travels far, he uses this ability to return home, which is both convenient and quick.

After using his ability to teleport home, Lin Fei immediately took a shower. Then he returned to his bedroom to take a nap. Lying in bed, Lin Fei recalled the events of the past few years. Starting at 16, he began wholesaling fruits during the summer holidays each year. He earned a considerable amount of money and turned it all into real estate.

"First, set a small goal: earn 100 million yuan and convert it into property. Then evolve into a landlord. I've already achieved this goal. What should I do next?" Lin Fei pondered, drifting off to sleep.

At the Ninth Bureau of the Rongcheng Ability Management Bureau, the newly appointed director, Xie Yurong, was holding a meeting in the conference room.

Xie Yurong, 26 years old, completed her university studies at 18 and joined the Tianhai City Ability Management Bureau upon graduation. She possesses powerful fire abilities and has solved countless ability-related crimes over the past eight years. Notably, a year ago, she was specially dispatched to a highland to dismantle a transnational smuggling organization. In the final stage, she chased the leader of the smuggling organization for an entire day and night, eventually exhausting and killing the criminal leader.

"According to the informant's information, a small group leader of the 'Greedy Wolf' criminal organization will be conducting a transaction in the Moonlight Mountain Forest at 10 PM tonight. The item being traded is the Bliss Pill. I plan to dispatch three teams of investigators to carry out the arrest. Do you have any suggestions?"

"No."

"Good, since there are no objections, the meeting is adjourned!"

Time passed, and it was 10 PM. In a small grove in the Moonlight Mountain Forest, a burly, black-faced man in black clothes was leading about 20 people in a conversation with another group.

"I need to inspect the goods first!"

"No problem, but I need to see the money first."

"Dog Egg, open the box."

"Click, click, click..." Several boxes were opened, filled with cash.

"Can I inspect the goods now?"

"Ironhead, show them the goods for inspection."

"Yes, boss." With a click, a black iron box was opened, revealing several small porcelain bottles. Just as Ironhead was about to hand the box over, a sudden change occurred.

Swish, swish, swish—dozens of people in uniform black attire rushed out of the forest and quickly surrounded the two groups.

"It's the Ninth Bureau."

"What should we do, boss?"

"The transaction is over; retreat immediately."

"Want to run? Not so easy. Today, you will all go back with us for investigation. Don't struggle in vain." A cold voice echoed throughout the scene.

"Damn, it's the new director of the Ninth Bureau, Xie Yurong. We're finished." One of the henchmen recognized Xie Yurong.

"Don't panic, stay calm." The black-clothed leader said in a calm voice, though he was already in a panic upon recognizing Xie Yurong.

"Everyone, follow the boss. We have many people; we don't need to fear them. If necessary, we'll fight them." Ironhead chimed in.

"Boss, you take the goods and the brothers and go first. I'll hold them off." A man with a flat head said to the black-clothed leader.

"Thirteen, good brother, don't worry. The organization will take care of your wife and daughter. Brothers, let's retreat."

The black-clothed leader led his men quickly toward the west.

"First and second teams, follow me to pursue the Greedy Wolf members. The third team will handle the remaining group."

Xie Yurong gave the order and was about to pursue when vines suddenly sprouted from the ground, entangling the investigators. Upon closer inspection, one of the Greedy Wolf members had not fled and was using the vines to delay them.

Bang, bang, bang, crack, boom. Although the vines were not lethal, they were very entangling.

Xie Yurong's face turned cold, and she raised her right arm, punching the Greedy Wolf member named Thirteen with a fierce blow.

Intense and fierce flames erupted from Xie Yurong's delicate, white fist.

"Boom..."

All the vines in sight were incinerated, and the man named Thirteen was left charred and unconscious on the ground.

"Let's go!"

Xie Yurong led the two teams in pursuit of the black-clothed leader.

The moon was bright, and the moonlight shone like silver, illuminating everything. The bamboo groves on the mountain turned black under the moonlight, and the grass was filled with the sound of insects.

A grasshopper jumped out of the grass, looking curiously at the strange scene.

A man wearing a silver-white mask and black training clothes stood facing a dozen nervous, sweating men.

Time rewound to 10:10 PM. Lin Fei had slept until 6 PM, and after getting up, he cooked a meal of dumplings he had made and a bowl of seaweed and egg soup for dinner.

After eating, Lin Fei watched some TV dramas and browsed his social media on his phone. Before he knew it, it was 10 PM.

"The moon is so beautiful tonight, perfect for practicing my abilities."

Lin Fei raised his hand and used his ability to retrieve his equipment from the dimensional space: a black training suit and a silver-white mask.

He changed into the clothes and struck a few poses in front of the mirror.

"Caution is key. Although it's unlikely anyone would be in the deep forest this late, countless predecessors have taught us that being careful is the way to a long life."

After changing, Lin Fei activated his spatial teleportation and headed to his practice location. A white light flashed, and Lin Fei disappeared from the living room.

The scenery changed, and Lin Fei found himself in a small plain in the Moonlight Mountain Forest. Just as he was about to take a deep breath of the fresh forest air, a commotion came from the small grove.

Swish, swish, swish—branches rustled, and a dozen burly men suddenly appeared.

Seeing the dozen men, Lin Fei's first thought was, "Oh no, I've been ambushed. Could it be that my fruit wholesaling business using my abilities has been exposed? They must be here to arrest me."

The Greedy Wolf members, seeing the masked man in black, were also startled. "The Ninth Bureau is truly meticulous! They even calculated our escape route and arranged people to block us."

After a few seconds of standoff, Lin Fei realized that the situation was not as he had imagined. He noticed that the men were panicked and sweating, lacking the righteous aura of law enforcers.

"It's a misunderstanding! What a relief," Lin Fei thought.

"The moon is truly beautiful tonight!" Lin Fei said.
