[New Extraordinary-Human Genes: Perception]
[New Extraordinary Ability: Tracking (People you have glanced at have a very high chance of being found by you, regardless of how they change, but the ability is time-limited)]
[Adding Extraordinary Skills…]
The scattered and erratic Skills completely failed to interest Pei Jinye.
It was at this moment, a middle-aged supervisor in a dark blue uniform, accompanied by others, strode over. Seeing the three corpses at Pei Jinye’s feet, the expressions of many miners immediately underwent several changes.
Yet, the middle-aged supervisor appeared unafraid. He merely glanced at the bodies on the ground, then frowned at Pei Jinye, “Did you kill them?”
The guest rooms on the ore ship were not open to outsiders, so in a crowded place like the living area, Pei Jinye found it impossible to disguise the act, even if he had wanted to.
Pei Jinye didn’t deny it, calmly nodding, “They tried to kill me…”
The middle-aged supervisor coldly interrupted, “Don’t explain to me. Being undocumented, you should be aware of your status. The rules on this ship are set for you. If you don’t follow them, then hand over everything you have. Otherwise, we’ll have to throw you into the sea to feed the sharks, following our rules!”
The miners behind him all picked up their weapons, looking fierce and malevolent. Clearly, this wasn’t the first time they were doing this.
Pei Jinye raised his right hand, saying helplessly, “Alright, I admit I did make one mistake.”
The middle-aged supervisor looked disdainful.
There were no shortage of people who admitted their mistakes in front of him. Most chose to keep the peace, and on the rare occasion someone stood firm, they typically ended with being killed by them.
Because in Storm City, Cloud Whale Steel was the tyrant these undocumented workers couldn’t afford to provoke.
However—
“Pfft!”
A splash of hot blood sprayed on everyone’s faces, and they all froze in shock.
Gazing at the scene, they saw something round tumbling down from the middle-aged supervisor’s body, rolling until it reached the person who had raised his hand, his face adorned with a faint smile.
“I admit, the biggest mistake I made tonight was trying to reason with you.”
“Now—”
In Pei Jinye’s empty right hand, a Horizontal Knife suddenly appeared as if it had flown into his grasp.
The moment he held the knife, his face wore a frighteningly serene smile.
“Now I declare, I’m hijacking this ship!”
No sooner had he spoken than the fierce-looking miners before him were sent to meet their makers.
Piercing screams instantly erupted from the ore ship.
The ship’s guards all rushed forward.
Pei Jinye, alone with a knife, killed anyone he encountered.
A murderer respects no prohibitions.
If you want to kill me, then I’ll eliminate all of you!
A series of sounds echoed as flesh was torn apart.

Pei Jinye silently wiped the blood splatters from his face, walking amongst the corpses with his sword in hand.
“Don’t kill me, spare me, I’m just a slave bought from traffickers by Cloud Whale Steel. I haven’t seen anything, please don’t kill me…”
In the corner, a group of disheveled miners cried and begged for mercy.
Pei Jinye looked at them expressionlessly.
Three minutes later.
Watching these people scrambling to escape the ore ship.
Pei Jinye silently withdrew his gaze.
Killing the innocent, he still couldn’t do that…
“Good, if I let killing intent control me, I wouldn’t deserve to be called a master! Better to be killed myself!”
Turning around.
Pei Jinye furrowed his brow.
He suddenly realized that he had killed everyone capable of piloting the large ore ship.
For the time being, he wasn’t leaving Storm City…
Looking at the control panel full of buttons.
Pei Jinye, relying on memories of Federation Confidential Clerks operating fighter jets, tried pressing some.
The hatch closed.
Pei Jinye chuckled softly.
“Doesn’t seem too difficult.”
He shut off the positioning and communication systems.
The ore ship restarted.
The speed was pushed to the maximum, the force of acceleration growing stronger and stronger.
Tonight, the astronomy enthusiasts of Storm City would surely notice that in the southwestern corner of the sky, the clouds were breaking apart one after another.
It was then that Pei Jinye discovered a text message on the middle-aged supervisor’s phone.
“The dead are from Mist Mountain. The inheritance from Lotus Island might be on him. Find a way to kill him, and make it swift.”
Tilting his head.
Pei Jinye crushed the phone.
Thirty minutes later.
As he approached the outskirts of Da Peng City, Pei Jinye slowed down to avoid detection, planning to land at Broken Cloud Mountain.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to disembark, he coincidentally came across people attempting to hijack the ship.
“Is playing nesting dolls fun?”
But this time, the hijackers of the ore ship turned out to be the Starfire Army.
Two familiar faces, under the escort of an injured middle-aged man, made their way into the ship.
“Sorry, young man, we’ve really offended you this time. Please pilot the ship for us…”
“Brother…” The little girl, who was previously energetic, now looked deathly pale as she nestled in the arms of the girl called Ah Li. Not sure what had happened, but as she passed by Pei Jinye, her little hand suddenly tugged at Pei Jinye’s clothing hem.
Those nearby, including Girl Ah Li, couldn’t help but turn their eyes to Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye almost thought he had forgotten to switch to his alternate identity.
Keeping a poker face, he said, “Don’t run around, just give me an address. If my boss finds out about this, there’s a very good chance I’ll be fired.”
“Young man, why don’t you join our Star—” The middle-aged man with the sword at his side hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by the curly-haired middle-aged man supporting him; he looked up in confusion and received a coughing hint from the other side.
At that moment, Ah Li spoke softly, “Three o’clock direction, go straight, drive at your top speed for 10 minutes and that should suffice.”
Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow.
Chaotically, he was about to go back just after he’d left.
However, he probably would also face trouble in Da Peng City, and he certainly didn’t want to run into his old colleagues around here.
“Buckle up, I drive very fast.”
After saying that.
He revved up the engine.
The middle-aged man with the sword turned even paler, a look of worried surprise from others upon him, yet he gave a thumbs-up to Pei Jinye.
“Hero, awesome!”
“…”
Ignoring the fool, Pei Jinye hadn’t driven for ten minutes when Ah Li said softly, “You can start slowing down in thirty seconds; we’re here.”
Pei Jinye slightly raised his eyebrows at the girl but didn’t say a word.
However, he indeed began to slow down the vehicle.
As the feeling of being pushed back lessened, the middle-aged man with the sword, still not fully satisfied, couldn’t help but pat Pei Jinye’s shoulder before getting off, “Young hero, you’re the fastest person I’ve ever met, really… If I get a chance to see you again next time, I must introduce you to our company.”
“Cough, cough.”
The person next to him hinted again with a cough and pulled the sword-wielding middle-aged man away before he could say anything.
It was the girl Ah Li, cradling the already sleeping little girl, who walked up to Pei Jinye and left behind a jade pendant: “A Fu likes you, she asked me to give this to you. Having it with you might bring you good luck.”
Pei Jinye didn’t dare to touch the jade pendant directly but hooked his finger through the black string attached to it.
The other party didn’t wait for his thanks.
They silently said their goodbyes.
The mining ship took flight again, Pei Jinye didn’t dare to return the same way, circling around the boundary of Da Peng City and Storm City, moving quickly through the dark clouds.
In the woods.
“I really want to ride it again.”
The middle-aged man with the sword looked up at the huge figure entering the clouds, and couldn’t help but express his longing.
He withdrew his gaze and turned to his companion.
“Doesn’t our organization really need talent like him?”
“You dare to recruit him without even understanding his identity, I don’t know how you’ve managed to survive this long!” his companion scolded bitterly.
“Big brother.”
The little girl in Ah Li’s arms suddenly murmured something in her sleep.
…
Black Mountain Association.
Cai Weiqian has been on a roll lately, having successfully swallowed up the Ma Gang’s territory, his forces have greatly expanded, making him look like a new power in Da Peng City.
“I heard something big happened in Storm City tonight… many people died, and I hear Luo Qiang is down too. Boss, that Luo Qiang guy caused us quite a bit of trouble back in the day,” Old Wei said in a low voice.
“Tell the brothers to keep a low profile recently. We’ve already drawn enough green-eyed attention; even a small issue could bring disaster now. Forget about Storm City for now, let’s secure our footing in Da Peng City first,” Cai Weiqian advised solemnly.
Old Wei rubbed his shiny bald head, puzzled, “Boss, don’t we have the Jiang family backing us?”
Cai Weiqian gazed at him somberly.
Old Wei let out a forced chuckle, “Boss, I’ll go get busy then.”
Just then Cai Weiqian’s phone rang.
Seeing who was calling made Cai Weiqian’s heart jump, and he quickly answered, “Brother Jia.”
“Do you take scrap metal?”
“Ah?”
Cai Weiqian was stunned.
Brother Jia’s question made his brain whirl—like it hadn’t booted up properly, he felt bewildered.
“Are you going to speak up, or not? Do you take it or not?”
“Take it, of course, I’ll take anything you have, Brother Jia,” Cai Weiqian said without caring what it was. He had made up his mind about Brother Jia—whatever he said, he would accept.
He was very aware that it was precisely due to his connection with Brother Jia that he managed to make a name for himself as Boss Cai in Da Peng City.
Twenty minutes later.
Western Suburbs of Da Peng City.
Following “Brother Jia’s” orders, Cai Weiqian had arranged for his trusted aides to drive over quietly.
He made a call.
“Brother Jia, my people are here, where are you?”
After saying that.
He suddenly felt two extremely spectacular beams of light hundreds of meters away, like two golden cudgels smashing into everyone’s hearts.
“This is… so huge!”
Cai Weiqian was dumbstruck.
Looking at the massive thing in front of him, he suddenly felt confused about the concept of scrap metal.
Pei Jinye, impersonating Old Jia, tossed the keys over.
Cai Weiqian hurriedly caught it with both hands, trembling, “Brother Jia?”
“Indeed, it’s a bit tainted. Otherwise, the housekeeper would have dealt with it, leaving no traces. You just need to modify it a bit and you can use it yourself,” Pei Jinye said nonchalantly. “You don’t need me to teach you this, do you?”
“No, no need.”
Cai Weiqian suddenly realized that Brother Jia’s methods were wildly unconventional. As he watched the other man stride away, he quickly stepped forward and offered, “Brother Jia, should I have someone drive you?”
“No need.”
Pei Jinye waved his hand behind him and within a few steps, his figure had already turned into a blur. This spectacle left several bystanders dumbstruck.
Cai Weiqian opened his mouth.
“Brother Jia’s skills have improved a lot in just a few days,” he remarked.
Old Wei, rubbing his bald head, couldn’t help but mutter, “Boss, didn’t you just say we should keep it low-key? With such a huge thing, it seems impossible to stay low-key.”
Cai Weiqian hit him on the head with a “clang,” annoyed, “Idiot, can’t you be a bit more flexible in your approach? Don’t understand what double standards are, huh? Less talking, more moving—get the men to cover it up and cart it away.”
