Chapter 31

Rong CD District, Abnormal Ability Administration Interrogation Room.

"Tell us honestly, why did you suddenly collapse and fall unconscious." A female investigator asked.

"I really don't know. We were running according to the planned route, and suddenly it felt like I had run into something. I immediately passed out, and I don't know what happened after that." The muscular man replied weakly, not at all like the brave man who had been running in the streets earlier.

"Director, it seems this guy really doesn't know anything." Tiezhu, who was watching the interrogation process in the monitoring room, said to Xie Yurong.

"Hmm." The graceful Xie Yurong replied.

"These two people have mid-level first-stage spiritual abilities. The one in front has awakened the ability to enhance strength, while the other has no special abilities. They planned this robbery today because last week, the two of them went to an underground loan shark to gamble and lost over a million. To pay off their gambling debts, they planned this robbery."

"Ask them about the underground casino and then close the case! There's no need to investigate further why they fainted. Let's focus on that underground casino next!" Xie Yurong said.

"Yes!" "Xiao Chen, ask him about the underground casino." Tiezhu gave new instructions to the investigator in the interrogation room through the microphone.

...

Lin Fei was unaware of the situation. His unintentional help in capturing two robbers indirectly led to the early downfall of an underground casino that had been operating in Rong CD District for years.

"Ding Dong!" The WeChat notification sounded.

Lin Fei opened his phone to see who had sent a message. It turned out that Zhou Yue had posted a message in their three-person WeChat group.

Zhou Yue: Tonight, Xiao Ru is making dumplings, they are so delicious!

Lin Fei: I had dumplings for dinner today too, but I ate them at a snack shop in S County. There were steamed dumplings and stewed pots.

Zhou Yue: The steamed dumplings in S County are pretty good, but how can they compare to the ones Xiao Ru makes!

Lin Fei: That's true, no matter how good the ones outside are, they can't match the ones made at home!

Wang Xiaoru: I made too many dumplings today, and there are still many left uncooked. Do you want to come over to our place tomorrow for dumplings?

Lin Fei: Sure! I just bought a few watermelons at the supermarket today, they are very sweet. I'll bring two over tomorrow.

Wang Xiaoru: Great! I'll make you some pan-fried dumplings tomorrow, I know you like them better.

Lin Fei: Haha, thanks!

Zhou Yue: It's already October, out-of-season watermelons don't taste very good!

Lin Fei: The ones I bought are a bit special! I don't know where the shop owner got them from, but they are really delicious. You'll see when you try them tomorrow.

Zhou Yue sent a face expressing disbelief.

...

Lin Fei chatted with them for a while before turning off his phone.

It was already half past ten without him realizing.

Lin Fei cleaned up the fruit peels and paper on the coffee table and went back to his room to rest. Due to various reasons, he had been sleeping late recently. He decided to get a good night's rest tonight to be well-prepared for delivering the goods to Old Wang's spirit stone shop tomorrow!

90 kilograms of goods, worth 141 million! He needed to be in top form to handle the upcoming transaction.

The noisy night had just begun, and Lin Fei, thinking about the huge sum of money he would receive tomorrow, fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Lin Fei opened his eyes, having had a dreamless night and waking up naturally. The high-quality sleep left him feeling refreshed and energetic.

He got up, washed up, and cooked himself a bowl of pumpkin porridge for breakfast. He also stir-fried two seasonal vegetables and steamed some cornbread in a steamer.

Slurp! Lin Fei savored a mouthful of the sweet pumpkin porridge, took a bite of the warm cornbread, and picked up a forkful of the fresh, green vegetables. His mood was delightful!

After a while, Lin Fei tidied up the bowls and plates and sat on the sofa in the living room, turning on the TV to watch the morning news and keep an eye on the government's recent activities.

The establishment of the Cultivator Academy received a lot of support and quickly filled up with students.

However, the number of applicants was too high, and the academy could only admit 3,000 students. Most people were not accepted, so some well-equipped gyms began building their own cultivation rooms and offering cultivation courses, providing new options for those who wanted to improve themselves.

Of course, as the old saying goes, "poor in literature, rich in martial arts," which can now be changed to "poor in literature, rich in cultivation." To cultivate quickly, spirit stones are essential.

If a family's financial situation is not solid, even if the cultivation room is provided for free, without spirit stones, one can only watch helplessly. The cultivation room's function is to release all the spiritual energy from the spirit stones and lock it inside the room, creating a high-concentration spiritual energy environment to accelerate cultivation.

If a cultivator directly absorbs the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, they first need to use their own spiritual energy to guide the energy out of the stones. This process continuously consumes their spiritual energy and causes some of it to dissipate. In a cultivation room, this is not necessary, as the room has equipment to release the spiritual energy and prevent it from dissipating.

However, the construction of a cultivation room is expensive. A 5 square meter room costs 30 million, and using it in a gym typically costs 5,000 yuan for every 10 minutes.

Listening to the news about various gyms building cultivation rooms, Lin Fei speculated that the government was encouraging those not accepted by the academy to cultivate at gyms.

The cultivation room, a powerful tool for auxiliary cultivation, was announced by the Spirit Energy Research Institute last month. Subsequently, the governments of various countries also announced it, indicating that it had been developed long ago. In the past, with scarce resources, announcing it would have been useless. Now, with the discovery of spirit energy mines, the governments of various countries have slightly relaxed their stance.

Lin Fei didn't feel much about these news items, but he was quite curious about the function of the cultivation room. However, he was not interested in absorbing the spiritual energy from spirit stones to enhance his strength, as he could absorb spiritual energy from the air very efficiently, making it unnecessary to choose to absorb the energy from spirit stones.

For him, converting spirit stones into money was more practical. If he wanted to absorb spiritual energy, he could go to some uninhabited deep mountains or deserted islands and absorb as much as he wanted.

"With the government announcing that cultivation rooms can assist in personal cultivation and encouraging capable individuals to build their own cultivation rooms, the demand for spirit stones will only increase in the future. I won't have to worry about selling my goods!" After reading the news, Lin Fei concluded that the future sales prospects for his spirit energy minerals would be very promising.

For the entire morning, Lin Fei stayed in the living room, eating fruit, watching TV, or taking out his phone to browse social media and see what everyone was up to.
