229: Chapter 228 Giving You a Great Merit

7:00 AM.

Wang Shuo, who had spent another night at his computer, rubbed his slightly swollen eyes, stood up, and walked over to the window.

Outside the window, the warm winter sun had already risen above the horizon, illuminating the sky with a hazy glow.

Wang Shuo turned his head and discovered that, at some point, someone had laid out a sumptuous breakfast on the coffee table.

Fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and soy milk.

These were all things he had been eating for over a decade without ever getting tired of them.

Wang Shuo smiled slightly.

Sure enough, as long as this young lady was back, his breakfast was no longer an issue.

Although Chen Xin appeared cold on the surface, she was actually quite thoughtful when it came to caring for others.

He picked up a steamed bun, took a big bite, then immediately frowned slightly and smacked his lips a few times.

Could this young lady have been scammed? Why did this bun taste like it was leftovers from the night before?

However, thinking about how Chen Xin had been pampered since childhood, had never eaten anything of poor quality, and had certainly never dealt with low-level street vendors, it was normal for her to be swindled by some unscrupulous vendors.

Women, after all, just need to be pretty; what do they need brains for?

Wang Shuo didn't pay it much mind; the overnight buns just tasted a bit off, not inedible.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Wang Shuo finished the buns and the soy milk in a few bites, then patted his stomach in satisfaction.

After finishing breakfast, it was time for his daily Trickle Training Method session.

Wang Shuo leaned back on the sofa and gently closed his eyes, appearing as if he were dozing off.

Recently, every time after eating, he would use his self-created Trickle Training Method to train.

He discovered that although the improvement from doing this was limited, there was always some progress each time he used it, and the advantage lay in the accumulation over time.

Furthermore, using the Trickle Training Method after a meal not only prevented hunger but also promoted digestion and enhanced gastrointestinal function.

This had caused his appetite to increase significantly during this period, almost catching up to half of Zheng Jun.

Thinking of Zheng Jun, Wang Shuo couldn't help but think of Zheng Yi.

This woman had said last time she would give him a surprise, but two days had passed, and there was still no news.

And then there was the fourth guy in his dormitory, that melancholic playboy, who hadn't appeared even now; he didn't know where Uncle Chen had taken him.

Could it be...

Wang Shuo shivered.

That couldn't be it, surely not...

No matter how brutal Chen Zhongxuan was, he wouldn't just make his own nephew disappear, right?

But it was hard to say... after all, that kid Chen Cheng really had a punchable face; anyone who saw him would want to punch him.

With his mind wandering, Wang Shuo felt his thoughts slowly dispersing and gradually becoming blurry.

In a haze, he seemed to have entered a vast, boundless space. Deep within this vast space, a pale yellow crystal was emitting a faint light, with thin, current-like energy occasionally flashing across its surface and shooting into the depths of the space.

When Wang Shuo opened his eyes again, it was already 8:34 AM.

"Sir." Zero's voice rang in his ears: "You have exceeded the scheduled time by four minutes. Shall we set off immediately?"

"Hmm." Wang Shuo nodded slightly, feeling relieved at the same time. He had thought he would sleep for half a month this time, or at least three or four days; if that had happened, the opportunity would have been long gone.

Fortunately, he had only slept for an hour and a half.

However, what was that just now?

How did he inexplicably enter that space?

And was that pale yellow crystal the actual body of the Humanoid Race core?

Didn't The Figure say this thing had already merged with his brain? Why did it still have a physical form?

Wang Shuo couldn't quite figure it out.

The Figure had left too early; there were so many things left unsaid. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to fumble around here blindly, feeling terrified every day, afraid that one day a Knowledge Infusion would end up erasing his own consciousness.

"Sir, your vehicle has arrived, and you may depart at any time. Do you require zero egg to accompany you?"

"Follow along."

As soon as he finished speaking, zero egg, which was on the charging dock in the corner, opened its eyes, spread its two propellers, flew to Wang Shuo's side, and floated quietly.

Wang Shuo looked at zero egg and nodded. Overall, he was quite satisfied with zero egg.

But being satisfied didn't mean there wasn't room for improvement.

In his view, zero egg was far from being a finished product; its level of completion wasn't even as high as the Electromagnetic Rifle given to Zheng Yi.

The upgrade plan had existed for a long time—as early as the moment zero egg was born, the upgrade plan had formed in Wang Shuo's mind.

However, upgrading a product before it had even reached the user—this kind of thing... was not impossible to do.

Wang Shuo pondered silently while boarding the black business car parked at the entrance.

This car originally belonged to Chen Xin, but now it had become Wang Shuo's daily vehicle.

After zero egg also flew into the car and found a spot to settle itself, Wang Shuo spoke:

"Go to the Police Station."

...

Hanzhong City Police Department, first-floor control center.

In the lobby, a massive screen composed of multiple TV split-screens was displaying the road information and surveillance footage of the entire Hanzhong City.

Since there was no need for personnel to manually identify the surveillance content, these split-screens were displayed smaller than usual, densely covering the entire screen, which looked quite spectacular.

Beside the surveillance split-screens, a list of tasks that the Sky Eye System was currently performing or preparing to perform was displayed.

These task lists refreshed extremely quickly; in just a few seconds, the dozen or so tasks currently displayed were already completed and refreshed to the next set.

Each refresh meant that at least one wanted person had been found by the Sky Eye System.

Deputy Chief Li Mingwei stood in the first-floor control center, watching the entire control center operate in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This kind of efficiency was completely unimaginable before the Sky Eye System.

Not to mention listing tasks, even a single item within the task list would have required a significant amount of time and energy to complete.

But now, it only took one second.

Now their work had basically turned into: lock onto a suspect, find their identity information, input the identity information into the Sky Eye System, and then just wait for the results.

As long as the suspect was within the coverage area of the Sky Eye System in Hanzhong City, regardless of whether they were driving, walking, dining, or shopping at a mall, they would be immediately locked onto by the Sky Eye System, which would also notify the nearest Police Station to apprehend the suspect.

In the entire Hanzhong City, the crime rate had dropped significantly over the past week, and even petty theft had decreased a lot; it was clear that they had been frightened by the police who were frequently dispatched.

And the role of the Sky Eye System was not limited to this.

Just as he was thinking this, a female police officer came to Deputy Chief Li Mingwei's side.

"Bureau Chief Li, someone is here to see you."

"Hmm." Deputy Chief Li Mingwei nodded faintly: "Arrange for them to go to my office, pour them a glass of water, and ask them to wait for a moment."

Saying this, he straightened his collar and turned to walk out of the control center.

Deputy Chief Li Mingwei's office was on the fifth floor.

When he walked into his office, he immediately saw Wang Shuo sitting on the sofa, drinking water out of boredom.

And next to Wang Shuo, there was a spherical object.

If it weren't for the sci-fi metallic shell of this sphere and the LCD screen currently displaying two blue eyes, he would have almost thought it was a soccer ball.

Seeing Deputy Chief Li Mingwei enter the door, Wang Shuo stood up with a smile and greeted him: "Bureau Chief Li, long time no see."

Deputy Chief Li Mingwei also revealed a faint smile and nodded lightly, acknowledging the greeting.

Regarding the young man in front of him, he now had no thoughts of looking down on him at all; if possible, he also hoped to establish a good relationship.

Sitting in his seat, Deputy Chief Li Mingwei finally asked: "Student Wang Shuo, you are here this time—do you have some surprise to bring us?"

A strange smile immediately appeared on Wang Shuo's face.

"It is a surprise, a very big surprise."

Deputy Chief Li Mingwei was immediately somewhat surprised: "How is that? Can the matters agreed upon in the contract be fulfilled so quickly?"

"Uh..."

So that was the surprise; Wang Shuo coughed twice in embarrassment.

He had been busy with other things these past few days and had actually almost forgotten about the contract he signed with the Police Station.

The pie in the sky on the contract was still empty to this day.

"Ahem, Bureau Chief Li, let's put the contract matter aside for now; I am here this time because I have another surprise for you."

"Another surprise?"

Deputy Chief Li Mingwei was somewhat confused. The Sky Eye System had already brought him enough surprises; the entire Police Station, from Director Jiao down to the grassroots officers, and even Mayor Fang, were all eagerly waiting for Wang Shuo to fulfill the contents of the contract.

They all wanted to see the things Wang Shuo described sooner.

At this time, what other surprise could be bigger than this?

"Yes, another surprise." Wang Shuo couldn't help but have the image of Chen Zhongxuan appear in his mind again. He hurriedly shook his head to shake off the shadow of this profiteer, then said: "Uncle Chen..."

"Do you want a great achievement?"
