I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

“Three identities… even a slight error could spell doom.”

“Not necessarily!”

Pei Jinye suddenly became distracted and let out a soft chuckle.

He had actually forgotten about his ability to reset.

However, resetting was not infallible.

This ability couldn’t possibly allow for infinite rebirths; it would gradually approach death… Although he didn’t know the limit, there would definitely be an end one day.

So he couldn’t rely on it too much!

Pei Jinye fell into contemplation.

Suddenly, the phone from the Investigation Team buzzed.

He picked it up to check.

It was a message from Brother Bi.

[The team’s thinking is that you should come back to base tomorrow morning, sign in at nine, possibly to make a report about tonight’s incident. Don’t feel burdened, just report the facts. ]

[Received.]

Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes, guessing that it was probably because Teacher Chang and Chu Tianye’s conversation tonight had been too shocking, so it was inevitable that he, who happened to be “one of their own,” would also need a heart-to-heart talk.

He put the phone down.

Then he started to cultivate “Big Dream for Thousands of Autumns”, and his spiritual power surged ferociously!

…

…

Nine in the morning.

Inside office 401.

This used to be Xie Zuxin’s private office, and since his assassination, the ownership of this office had been transferred to the acting head, Captain Qiu Hezi.

Though he was acting, everyone had essentially recognized this elder brother as the head of the group.

Based on seniority, based on experience, he was indeed the most qualified.

Not having been to the office for a few days, Pei Jinye suddenly noticed that the layout of the office had been completely changed, including the placement of furniture.

Indeed, every new boss would light his first fire in his own office.

“Jinye, you’re here,” Captain Qiu greeted Pei Jinye warmly as he saw him, “Let me introduce you. These two are record officers from the headquarters of the Investigation Team. Don’t worry, we’re just following routine procedures. You just have to truthfully recount what you saw and heard last night.”

“Okay, Captain.”

Pei Jinye dutifully looked at the man and woman beside Captain Qiu, each wearing a Bauhinia Medal on their chest.

He found them somewhat familiar but didn’t know them well.

“Hello Pei Jinye, I’m Qiu Mo, and this is Li Dai,” the woman with short hair said with a smile, while the young man with cropped hair beside her maintained a stone-faced, all-business demeanor.

“Hello,” Pei Jinye replied, looking at Captain Qiu. So this young girl named Qiu Mo was… his relative?

But the two of them didn’t look similar at all.

“The three of you, please come this way to the conference room; I’ve had someone clear it out. Just let us know if there is anything you need,” Captain Qiu gestured with his hand.

After the three of them were seated.

Only then did Captain Qiu leave the room and close the door behind him.

“Pei Jinye, there’s no need for any psychological pressure. As just mentioned by Captain Qiu, we’re here to understand the situation, focusing solely on last night’s events. The related conversation will be recorded and reported to the headquarters… How much do you know about Chang Youlong?” the woman with short hair asked amiably, while the young man sat rigidly, not indulging in any small talk.

“According to the information we have, you have cultivated at the Bronze Association under Chang Youlong?” the short-haired woman asked, implying something with her gaze.

“Yes, I did indeed cultivate at the Bronze Association,” Pei Jinye nodded in acknowledgment.

There was no point in denying this fact.

Whether at the municipal hall or within the investigation team, the relationship between Pei Jinye and the Bronze Association could be thoroughly investigated.

Although currently, Pei Jinye’s records had already been locked by that Mr. Han from Central State.

Otherwise, Qiu Mo and her team wouldn’t have come to see him in person.

Because they simply couldn’t access Pei Jinye’s records.

“As for Chang Youlong, I actually haven’t had much contact with him.”

“Not much?”

The young man with the crew cut asked back, prompting Pei Jinye to look over, “Is there a problem?”

“In just over a month, your vitality has undergone significant changes… Hasn’t Teacher Chang given you any special care?” the crew-cut youth followed up with a calm gaze.

“Since I began as a beginner, it has always been other people teaching me the basics of cultivation… Teacher Chang did not show himself until after I demonstrated my talent. After that, because of personal reasons, I rarely visited the guild hall,” Pei Jinye replied truthfully. “So when you ask for my opinion of him, to be honest, from the beginning, I couldn’t believe that he was able to disguise himself so well, so many years without anyone noticing.”

The woman with the short hair nodded in agreement, “Indeed, for many years, Chang Youlong has maintained a low profile in Da Peng City, and nobody suspected he had this side to him. I hope last night’s incident won’t cause you any inconvenience.”

“To say it didn’t affect me would be impossible, but seeing strong individuals fight, what influenced me the most was their power,” Pei Jinye said.

His words left the short-haired woman slightly startled. Regaining her composure, she nodded, smiling, without saying anything.

“Thank you for the conversation. Goodbye.”

The short-haired woman stood up, reaching out her hand.

Pei Jinye shook her hand, “If we meet again, I hope it’s in private.”

After turning off the recording device, the short-haired woman smiled, “You’re an interesting person.”

She then nodded to Pei Jinye and left with the crew-cut youth.

Pei Jinye left the conference room as if nothing had happened.

…

“Sister Mo, do you think he’s a problem?” the crew-cut youth asked quietly.

Looking over, the short-haired woman replied with a smirk, “Why, did you discover something?”

“I’m just curious… His records were locked,” the crew-cut youth said. “You must also know that this type of person is either a genius favored by the higher-ups or someone with a significant background.”

The short-haired woman shrugged, “Drive, stop wasting words.”

…

“Are you okay?” Brother Bi, cracking sunflower seeds in his hand, gossiped, “The one just talking to you was Qiu Mo, one of the top beauties at the headquarters. How was it? She has a nice figure, doesn’t she?”

“Brother Bi, I didn’t expect you to be that kind of person,” Pei Jinye glanced sideways at him.

The sunflower seeds in Brother Bi’s hands suddenly became less appealing.

“Dammit, it’s you, kid, acting all saintly, huh!”

“What’s that, what’s that, bring me along!” Zhou Ye came running up, pulling up his pants.

“Bring along my ass, heard something and you want to be brought in on it? Have you finished with the police dogs yet?” Brother Bi said irritably.

Zhou Ye immediately put on a long face, “I just changed my pants, Brother Bi. What’s the deal with that dog? I’ve never seen a dog act so wild before; the good-looking ones in the police dog area are nearly all ruined by it.”

“Which dog?” Pei Jinye looked at Brother Bi, “Are you talking about Black Charcoal?”

“Exactly, that’s the one. Recently it’s gotten a weird temper; it’s not even trying to escape anymore, just keeps going to the police dog area. Used to start trouble, and now… an old lecher,” Brother Bi explained with a sigh.

Then, he took Pei Jinye to see for himself.

Pei Jinye was shocked when he saw the Big Black Dog stealing meat from the back kitchen and then strutting around the police dog area.

“Maybe… we should get him neutered right now.”

…

Big Black Dog: “???”
