I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 80: Crown Above (Thanks to big brother PARKOUR for the reward and support)_i



Tang Huoyang nodded, “Seriously, repeating a year… has opened my mind up to many things. In life, you can’t choose the wrong path.”

“By the way, Brother Yang, do you know anything about the Judgement Place?”

“Damn!”

Tang Huoyang suddenly became alert, “You didn’t provoke them, did you?”

Pei Jinye smiled benevolently: “How(mei) could(da) I(si).”

Tang Huoyang nodded, “That makes sense. You’re low-key on ordinary days and focus on practice. How could you have dealings with them? Let me tell you, if you really encounter someone from the Judgement Place in the future, just stay as far away as you can.”

“Are they that terrifying?” Pei Jinye only acknowledged 50% in his heart, and that 50% was because he had sparred with Xu Tian before.

Tang Huoyang pondered before speaking, “The Judgement Place is a special department set up by the Federation. The people in this department can all be considered geniuses among geniuses… Anyone who gets in is no ordinary person. Even my monstrous brother says that among them, nine out of ten are monsters, and the tenth is the ultimate monster. Those targeted by them, whether they are wronged or not, are likely to be tortured into madness… That’s why they’re simultaneously renowned and notorious.”

He picked up a skewer, the silver metal reflecting the light as he said mysteriously, “Have you ever heard this saying…?”

“What saying?”

“Above the crown lies the divine authority. Beneath the sword and blade lies the Judgement!” Tang Huoyang spoke in a low voice, “This is their creed… I don’t know much about them, just that they generally operate in large cities. Our Da Peng City, being such a small place, shouldn’t attract them, right? If they do come, it must be because of the Old Gods Association…”

Pei Jinye:

The dinner lasted until nearly ten o’clock.

Tang Huoyang wanted to escort him back, but Pei Jinye felt like enjoying the night breeze…

The noisy streets remained bustling with the water on the ground having dissipated quite a bit, as if the heavy rain during the day had hardly affected the city’s residents.

On the way.

Pei Jinye received a call from Father Pei, who still wanted to hear his son’s thoughts regarding the old classmate who had come looking for him in the morning.

“Old Zhong does have his schemes, or else he wouldn’t have come looking for me. He wants a storefront in the food street, but I refused him. Although our family has the contract, ultimately, everything here belongs to the Federation… I didn’t make a decision on this matter, but I didn’t say a flat ‘no,’ so I wanted to ask for your opinion. If there’s a suitable place, do you think it would be okay to rent it to him?”

Pei Jinye laughed, “You two elders can decide for yourselves. No warranties, no lawbreaking, those are the principles. As for everything else, Sun San will keep watch.”

“You can count on it. Even though your dad is a nice guy, I’m not that silly,” Father Pei chuckled scoldingly on the phone.

Just after hanging up, Pei Jinye saw a young man and woman pulling at each other by the side of the overpass.

“Let go of me!”

“Wei Xia, I won’t leave with you!”

“Pei Jinye! Pei Jinye, save me!”

The girl in the short skirt suddenly recognized Pei Jinye and struggled to rush over but was held back by the wrist.

The young man pulling her was also clearly stunned.

This gave the girl in the short skirt a chance to pull away and quickly run to Pei Jinye, grabbing his sleeve and urging in a low voice, “Take me with you, quick!”

Pei Jinye could distinctly smell the strong scent of alcohol on the girl.

He hesitated.

Her face seemed somewhat familiar; he had seen her at Tang Huoyang’s birthday party. Was her name Lan…X..?

Lan Ranran, struggling to control the outbreak of the alcohol’s strength, which made her tremble all over, became terrified when she realized that the last drink Wei Xia had given her was spiked!

She held tightly to Pei Jinye’s sleeve, her face pale and her body beginning to shake, growing weaker and weaker.

Before losing consciousness.

One thought filled her mind…

“Pei Jinye, will he…”

“Who are you?”

“None of your business!”

Wei Xia was left at a loss for words. Just as he was about to step forward, he was shocked to see that the person opposite had already pulled out a phone.

“Is this the Night Patrol Department? I am currently on East Road of the Cross-River Bridge…”

Seeing this, Wei Xia turned and got into his car.

Pei Jinye supported Lan Ranran’s slender waist with one hand and wielded the phone with the other. Watching Wei Xia’s hovercar leave, he dialed Tang Huoyang’s number after putting down the phone.

“Chaotically!”

The call didn’t go through…

He slowly lowered his head to look at the delicate body in his arms.

After hesitating for a long time…

He finally pressed down.

Lan Ranran let out an unconscious whimper as if in pain, her expression one of distress.

“Still not awake?” Pei Jinye looked puzzled.

He reached out again, this time with more force.

Lan Ranran’s vitality trembled, and the pain in her body actually brought her gradually more clarity.

Just as she opened her eyes, she saw Pei Jinye sitting beside her, eyes closed in meditation.

“You…”

She suddenly came to her senses, and the memories she had lost came flooding back all at once.

She remembered being drugged by Wei Xia and running into Pei Jinye by chance, then asking him for help… only for the effects of the drug to hit, and she lost consciousness.

Noticing her clothes were intact, Lan Ranran came back to her senses and hurriedly expressed her gratitude, “Pei Jinye, thanks for what happened just now…”

The night breeze on the Cross-River Bridge lifted her hair.

In the moonlight, her cheeks glistened with a rosy hue, uncertain if it was a lingering effect of the drug or a blush of embarrassment at the moment.

“It’s nothing,” Pei Jinye opened his eyes.

Lan Ranran tried to move but suddenly discovered a pain in her waist… and her expression turned odd.

“Have you been waiting this whole time for me to wake up?”

Pei Jinye, who didn’t regard the incident as significant, replied casually, “Brother Yang’s phone wasn’t going through, and I don’t know any of your other friends, so I just sat here and waited. However, you’re regaining consciousness faster than I thought.”

His training was interrupted, but Pei Jinye bore no resentment towards heaven or others.

However, such a bland tone of narration did prompt Lan Ranran to give him an extra glance.

Unfortunately…

With a quiet sigh in her heart, Lan Ranran sincerely pleaded, “Pei Jinye, could you please not mention today’s incident to anyone?”

Pei Jinye looked at her, originally thinking that the girl would call the police herself, but her reaction didn’t completely surprise him. He calmly nodded, “I understand.”

Grateful, Lan Ranran glanced over and then lowered her head to open her cross-body bag, taking out her phone, only to find that the battery had long been depleted, adding an awkward tint to her complexion.

“Um… Pei Jinye, could you lend me your phone for a moment?”

After receiving the phone from Pei Jinye’s hands, Lan Ranran expressed her thanks in a soft voice, then dialed her best friend’s number, reported an address, and returned the phone to Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye put away the phone: “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”

Lan Ranran was startled.

Seeing Pei Jinye leaving so resolutely, she felt an uncomfortable stir in her heart.

“Pei Jinye…”

She suddenly called out.

Pei Jinye paused, his gaze turned back inquisitively, yet his eyes remained undisturbed.

Lan Ranran bit her lip, “Please keep today’s incident a secret, thank you.”

Pei Jinye waved his hand, “Understood.”

He quickly disappeared into the night.

Lan Ranran watched his retreating figure until it vanished, feeling an increasing emptiness in her heart. She crouched by the bridge’s edge, hugging her delicate body tightly in the cold wind, pain emanating faintly from her waist.

Above her head, a Federation camera was monitoring the area.

It wasn’t long before the roar of an engine could be heard from around the corner.

“Ranran…” A girl in a black leather jacket with fiery red pigtails was the first to jump out of the car.

Lan Ranran, holding her waist, got up, “Take me to the hospital for a check-up first.”

“What happened?”

“Ate something dirty…”

When Pei Jinye arrived home that evening, he met the landlady at his door, knocking.

“Little Li, I thought you weren’t home.”

“Auntie, what’s this about?” Pei Jinye approached, puzzled.

The landlady handed him a box of fruit drinks, “These are produced by my son-in-law’s family, they gave us too much, and we can’t finish it all, so I’m giving you a box.”

“Auntie, that’s very kind of you, thank you. This tastes great, I was actually planning to buy some at the supermarket,” Pei Jinye said as he accepted the fruit drinks.

The landlady was very pleased, “This is purely natural, drinking it replenishes vitamins…”

As the landlady was imparting her health wisdom, her front door opened and a ponytailed little girl popped her head out, “Mom!”

The landlady reproached, “What is it, making such a racket!”

The ponytailed little girl saw Pei Jinye and swallowed back her whining speech, pretending to be reserved, “Mom, I have something to tell you, something big.”

Seeing this, the landlady nodded politely at Pei Jinye and then went back into her home, “What big thing?”

The voices of the mother and daughter faded as their door closed.

Pei Jinye paused for a moment, shook his head, and took the box of fruit drinks into his home.

As usual, he checked…

Then, after putting on shoe covers and washing his hands, he continued to inspect the fruit drinks.

Only after confirming they were safe did he finally take a sip with relief.

Laying sprawled on the couch, staring at the light casting shadows on the ceiling, he muttered to himself.

“Just four days left of the five-day period… starting to feel a bit nervous, isn’t that so…”

“Buzz buzz!”

The secret phone suddenly vibrated.

Pei Jinye paused in thought, picked up the phone, and checked it.

Black Shark: [Demon King, my division is currently facing an emergency. Shadow Bow and Number series are being chased by the Federation Night Patrol Office, and I’ve been tangled up by people from Sky God International, can’t spare a hand right now. This matter has been approved by superiors, I’m informing you to rush to the Northern Ring Road collapse zone for a rescue. They are really important to our organization… Additionally, this is the Heavenly Calculation’s contact frequency… 4335…]

Pei Jinye sighed lightly.

Not a single peaceful day, huh.

He put on the Ghost Face Mask.

His entire being disappeared into the night.

Before long.

He pressed his wireless earpiece, “Heavenly Calculation, this is Demon King.”

“Demon King, I’ve been waiting for you!”

On the westernmost side of the Northern Ring Road was a mountain collapse zone. Accidents had occurred here years ago, and coupled with the gloomy legends of midnight, not many people came here to play on a regular basis.

Especially those who dared to venture here late at night, most were young people in search of the thrill.

“Damn, why is this creepy place so chilly with drafts?”

In a part of the collapse zone overrun with weeds, three young people sat around a campfire.

“Without the drafts, would it still be called Ghost Mountain Forest? Stop talking and quickly set up the device for live streaming. Old Dou, have you caught any signal?” the long-haired youth said nonchalantly.

“The signal is weak, I still suggest moving to the perimeter… otherwise, without a signal, you can’t stream,” the bespectacled man on the right suggested.

“Who will you livestream for at the perimeter? Haven’t we tried that before… come on!” While the long-haired youth was speaking, suddenly, his expression froze!
