CHAPTER 103: CHAPTER 98: ONE IN TEN THOUSAND (SEEKING MONTHLY TICKETS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS!)_3

"Do you realize that by indiscriminately placing a weapon of mass destruction in a populated area, you have violated Sum Country’s public safety laws regarding..." Gao Qing began, her voice trailing off.

Before Lu Yuan could fully articulate his response, Gao Qing’s demeanor shifted, her tone suddenly becoming severe and stern.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Yuan was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at the black device seized by Yellow Bear Members on the ground. He couldn’t help but retort, "I didn’t use it, and this isn’t a populated area. Moreover... it was sent to me by your Yellow Bear’s... Captain Zhou."

"HM. I know that."

Gao Qing responded coldly, "That’s why I will file a complaint against him once I get back. But first, let’s talk about your issue."

Gao Qing’s aggressive stance quickly made Lu Yuan realize he’d been set up.

It probably has nothing to do with Zhou Ling, he suspected. The problem largely lies with this woman named Gao Qing.

Does she hold a grudge against Zhou Ling?

Lu Yuan’s mind raced, but he quickly regained his composure.

"So, Chief Gao, are you intending to take me back?"

"By the rules, yes."

"Alright!"

Lu Yuan nodded decisively, then shifted his gaze to the Fly Shuttle parked aside and asked, "Do you need to put electronic shackles on me, or should I walk up there myself?"

"UM..."

Gao Qing was stunned, completely unprepared for Lu Yuan’s reaction.

Before she could recover, Lu Yuan was already walking towards the Fly Shuttle, his expression seeming to hold a hint of anticipation.

He really wanted to experience a trip on a Fly Shuttle.

Gao Qing’s expression fluctuated slightly before she finally spoke.

"Wait!"

Lu Yuan halted and turned to look at Gao Qing. "What’s the matter, Chief Gao?"

"Never mind."

Gao Qing paused, then said, "Your situation is rather unique. We’ll decide on further actions once I report back."

"Alright."

Lu Yuan watched Gao Qing silently, waiting for her to continue.

Unexpectedly, Gao Qing just waved her hand and said, "You can leave now. If there’s anything else, I’ll have someone notify you."

Lu Yuan didn’t say anything, simply nodded, then picked up his backpack and headed towards the exit of the abandoned car park.

When he was almost out of sight of the Fly Shuttle, Lu Yuan paused for a moment.

Gao Qing, huh.

Targeting me, is she?

I’ll see you in the Consciousness Space, Imaginary Enemy!

Thinking this, Lu Yuan adjusted his backpack and quickened his pace.

「...」

"Chief."

As soon as Lu Yuan left, a Yellow Bear Member approached Gao Qing, his face still showing traces of shock that hadn’t completely faded.

"This kid is something. A C-level Underground Monster, killed with one punch. No wonder Captain Zhou is so keen on him..."

"HMPH."

Gao Qing gave a light huff and said nothing, but casually tapped a spot on her left wrist.

A tiny virtual screen popped out.

Gao Qing effortlessly tapped at the screen with her right hand; her slender, pale fingers moved nimbly, as if playing a piano.

The Yellow Bear Member beside her peered over curiously and saw that Gao Qing was working on an assessment report.

The report displayed Lu Yuan’s name and information.

Underneath was a series of aptitude evaluations, and it seemed Gao Qing was modifying and adding some information.

The Yellow Bear Member carefully glanced at the bottom of the report, and a line of small text caught his eye.

Potential Rating: A+ (One in Ten Thousand)

"HISS—"

His pupils contracted sharply, and he sucked in a quick breath.

But before the shock on his face could fully register, the letters after the rating vanished.

They were replaced with the words "Reassessing..."
