Seeing the faint smile on Gao Yaxin’s face, Li Qian felt a slight chill run through him, as if all his secrets had been laid bare.
A flicker of conflict crossed his eyes. After a mont of thought, he made up his mind.
"I..." Just as he was about to speak, the sudden, urgent roar of car engines cut through the air.
In the blink of an eye, three cars with the typical black-and-white paint job of the Public Security Bureau had sped to the scene.
VMMMM...
The three cars screeched to a halt, then quickly broke apart and reassembled. In just a few breaths, they had all transford into three robots, each standing about three ters tall.
The scene was rather similar to a movie from his past life on Earth, Transforrs.
Li Qian knew that, just like the High-speed Rail Robot he had seen earlier, these were chanical Pet Beasts.
Unable to contain his curiosity, he subconsciously used his Eye of True Sight to examine them.
The next mont, the information of the closest robot appeared before him.
[Na: Car Robot]
[Attribute: chanical]
[Level: Tier Nine Elite]
[Potential: Tier Three Commander]
[Skills: Rage (Perfection), chanical Transformation (Perfection), chanical Repair (Perfection), chanical Improvent (Mastery), Mad Scattering (Perfection), Heavy Machine Gun (Perfection), Flathrower (Mastery), Laser Cannon (Mastery), Laser Cannon (Skilled), Tracking Missile (Skilled), Electromagnetic Cannon (Beginner)]
Seeing the dense list of Skills in the Car Robot’s information panel, Li Qian was completely stunned.
As expected of a Pet Beast created entirely by human ingenuity. This skill loadout was, you could say, completely maxed out.
With a skill set like this, even though its Level was only Tier Nine Elite, it could probably fight above its weight class against a Commander.
No wonder there was a saying in the Ancestral Star Beast Taming Realm that the chanical Elent was invincible among those of the sa tier.
Calling it invincible might be an exaggeration, but to say its combat power was a cut above the rest within the sa tier was definitely deserved.
’If the chanical Elent is so excellent, why doesn’t Liu Changfeng have one contracted?’
’It’s not as if he lacks the ans to do so.’
’These Car Robots are probably the standard-issue chanical Pet Beasts for the Public Security Bureau.’
Li Qian was still a little puzzled by this.
’I should find a chance to ask about it.’
Just as Li Qian was using his Eye of True Sight to check the information of the Car Robot, a familiar voice ca from the side. "So, what do you think? How’s my Mad Dragon No. 3?"
Only then did Li Qian notice soone standing next to the Car Robot. It was none other than Zhou Weiping, whom he had t once before.
’It seems this Car Robot must be one of his Pet Beasts.’
"It’s amazing," Li Qian praised sincerely, the envy in his eyes completely unconcealed.
And at that mont, he also understood why his Eye of True Sight was able to bypass the level difference and read the Car Robot’s information.
’It must be because Zhou Weiping gave an order, so the Car Robot didn’t have its guard up against .’
’Otherwise, with my own Power Level, I wouldn’t have been able to see anything at all.’
anwhile, as Li Qian and Zhou Weiping were talking, the other two Security Officers from the Public Security Bureau had already cuffed the Cultist from the Black Divine Teachings with a pair of special handcuffs.
Zhou Weiping didn’t continue the idle chatter with Li Qian. This wasn’t the ti or place for it; there was official business to attend to.
He raised an eyebrow and looked over the Cultist, who had been taken down by a single Illusion Wave from Gao Yaxin’s Illusory Demon Fox. After sizing the man up, he said, "Definitely a Cultist from the Black Divine Teachings. Student Li Qian, you’ve rendered a great service this ti."
Li Qian shook his head and pointed to Gao Yaxin not far away. "Don’t say that. I can’t take the credit. The one who subdued this Cultist wasn’t , it was Sister Gao!"
Zhou Weiping followed Li Qian’s finger and saw Gao Yaxin. She looked a bit familiar, so he asked tentatively, "Are you from the Gao Family of the provincial capital...?"
"No!" Gao Yaxin shook her head decisively. Seeing that Liu Changfeng’s battle was mostly over, she didn’t hesitate to leave. "Junior, my research is almost finished, and I’ll be leaving Lingshui City soon. If you have ti, co by the Cultivation Base. I have so breeding experience that I’ve compiled into a book. It might be useful to you."
"Okay, I’ll definitely be there," Li Qian nodded, agreeing without hesitation.
’From what Zhou Weiping just said, I can guess that Gao Yaxin’s status isn’t ordinary, and her background is definitely not simple.’
’But since Gao Yaxin chose to cut him off, it ans she doesn’t want people to know her true identity. That being the case, I won’t go digging into it.’
’After all, everyone has their own secrets.’
’Prying into them rashly could cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and might even provoke resentnt or hostility.’
After saying that, Gao Yaxin didn’t linger. She and her Illusory Demon Fox walked away from the reservoir.
Not long after Gao Yaxin left, Liu Changfeng, who had finished his battle, hurried over. He watched her departing figure, wanting to chase after her to say thanks, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
’Chasing after her now would seem too deliberate. Besides, her leaving at this mont clearly shows she doesn’t want to get too involved.’
In the end, Liu Changfeng decided not to follow her. Instead, he turned his gaze to Li Qian. "Who was that beautiful woman?"
"Her na is Gao Yaxin. She’s a Breeder, and also... a senior of mine," Li Qian said, unsure how to define his relationship with her. After a mont’s thought, he felt "senior" was a suitable term.
"I really must thank her for what just happened. If she hadn’t shown up when she did, the fight wouldn’t have ended so quickly," Liu Changfeng said with so regret.
"I don’t think she’s the type to care much about thanks," Li Qian said, smiling at Liu Changfeng. "But I’ll pass along your gratitude for you."
"Then I’ll have to trouble you."
As the two were talking, Zhou Weiping, who had recognized Liu Changfeng, suddenly interjected, "Captain Liu, what brings you to our Lingshui City? Are you here chasing this Cultist?"
Zhou Weiping and Liu Changfeng were both with the Public Security Bureau. Although they were from different cities, Lingshui City and Yunlan City were neighbors, after all, so it was normal for them to know each other. Li Qian didn’t find it strange.
Hearing this, Liu Changfeng glanced at Li Qian. Seeing the latter’s indifferent expression, he told the truth. "I ca to Lingshui City today specifically to find Student Li Qian. I just happened to run into this Cultist from the Black Divine Teachings."
"I see!" A look of realization dawned on Zhou Weiping’s face, and he joked, "Well then, this guy is seriously unlucky."
As for why Liu Changfeng was looking for Li Qian, he didn’t ask. The two were rely acquaintances, colleagues in the sa system in a loose sense. Whether it was for public or private matters, it wasn’t good to pry too deeply.
