Chapter 42 Moving to a New Home and Cooperation

It can only be said that the national team's strength is indeed far superior to that of ordinary players. They say an hour is an hour, and it's exactly an hour, not a minute more or a second less.

Miao Meng had already arrived at a small island on the outskirts of Liancheng. Although the location was remote and deserted, it was exactly what Miao Meng needed.

This was originally a leisure villa, specifically designed for wealthy people who suddenly had the idea to experience a life by the sea with spring flowers blooming in the sunshine.

However, now, thanks to the investigation bureau's cleanup, the entire area within several miles of the villa has been completely cleared out and turned into private property.

Moreover, the batch of weapons that had been agreed upon was placed in the middle of the yard. You could see the boxes as soon as you entered the gate and smell the pungent gun oil.

"Breathe~ As expected, many times ability users don't like staying in the suburbs, but are forced to do so."

I'll remember the Bureau of Investigation's help this time. Give me two days, and I'll trouble you to come again then as a way of expressing my gratitude.

The team leader from the investigation bureau and the familiar negotiation expert standing nearby did not look too good.

No sooner had they left than Miao Meng, who had reached an agreement with them, had his home ransacked.

This is no longer simply a problem with Miao Meng himself; it's a provocation against the Bureau of Investigation's order and a sign of their incompetence.

"Mr. Miao, you're joking. This is such a small matter, there's no need for any reward. After all, it's just that our Investigation Bureau is incompetent."

As for this villa, consider it a gift from us as a testament to our cooperation. To be honest, even without those thieves, we would still recommend you come to the suburbs for research.

The negotiation expert was still able to maintain his rationality at this point. Although these petty thieves had brought their cooperation to a new level, he really didn't want to encounter such a situation if he could.

Such forced cooperation often leaves a thorn in the hearts of both parties involved. Even if it's just a small matter, it can create rifts over time.

"It was indeed my oversight. Although I took some precautions against theft, they could only deal with ordinary petty thieves. I didn't expect that even a psionicist would take such a risk."

Miao Meng indeed lacked this kind of knowledge. After all, who would have thought that a group of people who had entered the world of psionic energy would still be so persistent in stealing?

After all, if you're short on money, there are plenty of high-priced missions on the forum to hire psionicists as bodyguards, or at the very least, you can get a substantial settlement fee by registering your name with a big company.

After all, the talent pool in the psychic profession is depleted quickly, and it is always in a state of supply falling short of demand.

Who would have thought that there was a group of people who were sneaking around before becoming ability users, and who continued to do so even after becoming ability users? Weren't they taking a lot of risks for nothing?

"I'm sorry, the situation at the factory was a bit bad, and I was in a fit of anger at the time, so I went a little too far."

Smelling the pungent gun oil and the lingering smell of gunpowder in the air, Miao Meng finally calmed down from his angry state.

This taught him a profound lesson: never underestimate any psychic, even if they are just a thief, they can still catch you off guard.

"Well, the situation is actually not too bad. Apart from the one who turned into a ghoul and is in a rather fragmented state, the others still have human form. During the time I was on duty, the scene caused by this case was relatively mild."

The captain subconsciously chimed in, but quickly realized what he had said and immediately changed the subject.

"You don't need to worry about what will happen to these petty thieves. They are all habitual thieves. Before they became psionicists, this group was just workers in the urban village, uh, thieves."

However, after the last meteor shower, they found some body fragments of mythical races, thinking they were meteorites that could be sold for a high price, so they took them back.

They never expected that taking it back would soon attract the attention of an evil god due to the fragments' influence, who then bestowed upon them a "blessing."

The Bureau of Investigation didn't spend the entire hour searching for the villa; instead, they took some time to clarify the cause and effect of the matter.

If they still can't find anything within their jurisdiction, especially since the enemy has been completely wiped out and their bodies are scattered all over the place, then the investigation bureau might as well shut down sooner rather than later.

Miao Meng listened without commenting: "Well, there are a lot of migrant workers in urban villages, so it's normal to have people like this. Oh well, whatever their situation is, they're all dead after all."

The negotiation expert next to them felt that the cooperation reached this time was already solid enough, and there was no need to continue talking. So he took the initiative to change the subject, in case they talked too much and it would be difficult to make amends later.

"Then we won't bother Mr. Miao any longer. After all, you've just moved in, and you probably need to do some setup."

This villa has its own independent power supply; its internal power grid is not connected to the outside, since it's not convenient to run electrical wires on an island.

We've also checked it, and there were no hidden cameras inside; it's a relatively clean house.

After finishing speaking, the negotiation expert led his team leader away from the island. They traveled to and from the island by motorboat, which was quite fast.

Yes, it's much faster than Miao Meng's speed at sea before he modified it. After all, even the highest agility attribute of a medieval sailing ship couldn't actually reach a speed of 10 meters per second.

After seeing off the people from the Investigation Bureau, Miao Meng no longer hesitated and immediately summoned his crew to begin a simple search and organization of the island.

He was no longer going to hide anything in this regard; regardless of whether the Investigation Bureau had left cameras on the island, he couldn't let a minor setback deter him from his efforts.

There's no need to hide the fact that she can travel between worlds; in the psychic system, this ability isn't particularly rare.

In addition to the present world inhabited by humans, the main world also has multiple dimensions, such as the dream realm and astral realm where mythical creatures mainly reside, or the reflection of reality, the shadow realm existing in the shadows, and the inverted world in the mirror.

Although traveling through these worlds carries significant risks, the rewards are enough to make many psychics with knowledge in this area choose to ignore the risks and continue installing.

The Bureau of Investigation never inquires about the whereabouts or sources of these psychics.

After all, there exists a god of wisdom named Bubble, a generous deity who will always respond to any request.

The prerequisite is being able to survive the infusion of knowledge from this deity and be able to select useful knowledge from the vast sea of ​​information, rather than being turned into a walking library by a large amount of knowledge.

Those psionicists who can do this have a unified name in the psionic world: scholars.

In the psychic world, the knowledge imparted by these deities is poisonous, but its power far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine. Therefore, the psychic world's pursuit and persecution of scholars is particularly severe.

These persecutions only shifted from the open to the covert after the formation of secret societies and knowledge societies spanning multiple countries, but they have never stopped.

These two societies were initially formed by scholars spontaneously banding together to survive, but as they gained more and more knowledge and became more powerful, they turned around and oppressed ordinary scholars.

For scholars, knowledge is more attractive than poppies, and they will rush to pick them even if they are hurt by their thorns.
