From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 38: The Invaluable Super Crystal Core

This morning, the weather was clear, and the streets after the rain felt a bit cooler.

Due to the rampant news of the Abyss invasion, there were few pedestrians on the Champs Elysees pedestrian street.

Su Muyu was wearing a blue denim dress and a sun hat, sitting in a beverage shop at the corner of the pedestrian street, drinking lemon tea while holding a collection of essays titled "Human World Grass and Wood."

However, she hadn't turned the page for half an hour because her attention was fixed on the Reconnaissance Eagle.

After upgrading to the Advanced Reconnaissance Eagle, the eagle's body had grown considerably, with a wingspan now reaching 1 meter.

Its flying speed had improved as well.

More importantly, the observation distance of the eagle eye vision had increased, as if it came with an eight-fold scope.

Last time,

it was here that the Reconnaissance Eagle had been killed.

Now, having risen in level, she came back for reconnaissance, being extra cautious.

While she was controlling the Reconnaissance Eagle to observe the environment around the Gongteng Group headquarters building, a young man placed a brand-new collection of essays opposite Su Muyu.

The young man pulled out a chair and sat down, starting to make conversation, "Hello, you like reading too?"

Su Muyu, disturbed, diverted her attention from the Reconnaissance Eagle and glanced at the young man, wanting to dismiss him quickly, "I'm just pretending with the book."

The young man laughed, holding up his brand-new collection of essays, saying, "Me too, just bought it from the bookstore across the street. Let's get to know each other, add a contact."

Su Muyu smiled wryly and said, "I was just kidding, I've finished this collection of essays, and I can even recite my favorite 'Grape Month' by heart."

The young man left, sighing in dejection.

Su Muyu quickly put on a mask and then turned her attention back to the Reconnaissance Eagle.

As soon as she focused on the Reconnaissance Eagle, she saw Lei Jinhao, the silver-haired man she had encountered at Gardenia Beach, and the Perceiver named Yada.

Lei Jinhao, with his entourage, walked into the headquarters building of Gongteng Group and entered the elevator.

Su Muyu didn't dare let the Reconnaissance Eagle get too close, as it was easy to be detected by Perceivers.

After the elevator door closed, Su Muyu controlled the invisible Reconnaissance Eagle to fly into the building and confirmed that the elevator reached the top floor.

Then, she had the Reconnaissance Eagle fly out of the building and from outside fly to the top floor, observing the situation through the glass wall.

In the top floor lobby of Gongteng Group, in front of bright floor-to-ceiling glasses,

Lei Jinhao, along with his associates, met Gong ZhenTeng, the chairman of Gongteng Group.

They sat on opposite sides of a long table, discussing matters.

However, because of the distance and the intervening glass wall, it was impossible to hear what they were discussing.

It seemed that the discussion was not going very smoothly.

Lei Jinhao slammed his fist on the table, looking like they were about to start arguing.

Gong ZhenTeng's attitude was very firm, and he showed no signs of compromise.

The two parties were at a stalemate.

Su Muyu wanted to hear what they were discussing and tried to get closer while also testing how large Yada's Detecting Invisibility Range was.

Because last time, her Perception abilities had been suppressed by the opponent.

This time, Su Muyu was extra cautious, treating her opponent as a Perceiver of the same class. Hence, she started her cautious approach from outside a 40-meter range.

That's because her own Detecting Invisibility Range had reached 42 meters.

However, this was a range only achievable after the Reconnaissance Eagle Skill had been upgraded to Level C.

For Yada to have such a long detection distance, she would need to have a Level C Perception Skill, and her Perception Attribute would need to reach 21 points.

To test Yada's Perception abilities, Su Muyu controlled the Reconnaissance Eagle to gradually move from 40 meters to 30 meters, but Yada, the Perceiver, showed no reaction.

20 meters also elicited no response.

18 meters, 15 meters…

Finally, the Perceiver named Yada turned her head and glanced outside the glass wall.

Su Muyu immediately controlled the Reconnaissance Eagle to pull back to 15 meters away.

Yada scanned around the glass wall, found nothing unusual, and turned her gaze back.

After this probe, Su Muyu determined the opponent's detecting invisibility range was only 15 meters.

Perceivers mutually testing each other's capabilities was also a contest of Perception.

Originally, Su Muyu had worried that the opponent's detecting invisibility range could reach 40 meters, but it turned out to be only 15 meters.

Actually, she was being overly cautious.

At this point in time, with Abyss Descent less than a month away, the level of Superpower Users was not high, let alone those from the Perception System.

Although the opponent's detecting invisibility range was only 15 meters, at that distance, one still couldn't hear conversations inside the building, especially through a glass wall.

After a brief contemplation, Su Muyu controlled the reconnaissance hawk to fly into the building and activate the building's fire alarm system.

Buzzing...

The alarm sounded, and the whole building became noisy.

Lei Jinhao looked back at Yada and asked her to check the situation.

Yada nodded and turned to leave the rooftop hall.

Su Muyu took the opportunity to fly into the rooftop hall to listen closely to the conversation between Lei Jinhao and Gong ZhenTeng.

She overheard explosive intelligence related to a Super Crystal Core.

A few minutes later, the Perceiver named Yada returned. Su Muyu immediately dismissed the reconnaissance hawk and then took a taxi to meet Lu Heng and report the important intelligence she had just gathered.

In a training room near the Coastal World Trade Center.

Lu Heng was sweating profusely as he practiced his movement techniques, preparing for the initial task of his hidden profession.

If he had pursued a regular Combat Rank, he wouldn't need training, as his current strength and experience were sufficient to handle the First Transition task.

However, if his goal was that hidden profession, In-depth Level Body Technique was essential.

In the training room, Lu Heng started sprinting, leapt vertically, ran three steps on the wall, pushed off powerfully for a double half-twist in mid-air, and landed on a three-meter high platform.

[Beginner Level body technique training complete, entering the second tier of the Body Technique Realm—Master Level.]

Lu Heng glanced at his Body Technique Training Level, which showed Master Level (1/2000).

There was still a long way to go to reach the In-depth Level.

Fortunately, Lu Heng had insights from his past life's body technique training, which accelerated his progress.

After his Body Technique Realm increased, Lu Heng rested for a while, drank some water, then resumed Gale Step and continued his body technique practice.

...

As he was training, the door of the training room opened.

Su Muyu walked into the training room, saw Lu Heng sweating profusely, and took a towel from a rack near the door to hand to him.

Lu Heng took the towel and wiped off his sweat, asking, "What brought you here all of a sudden?"

"Can't I come and check on you?" Su Muyu teased.

She had not endured the tragic experiences of their past lives, so her personality was not as melancholic as in Lu Heng's memories. She occasionally showed her playful side and even joked around from time to time.

However, she rarely joked in front of others, only relaxing like this with Lu Heng.

After Lu Heng drank a bottle of an energy drink, Su Muyu displayed a look asking for praise and said, "I overhead some important intelligence; you should praise me."

"What kind of important intelligence? You're this happy."

"Do you know what a 'Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core' is?" Su Muyu didn't immediately reveal the intelligence but posed a question instead.

Initially indifferent, Lu Heng became intrigued upon hearing the name of the crystal core.

This 'Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core' was a super crystal core of immeasurable value, essentially a priceless treasure. Its worth would only increase as time went on.

Even Peak Superpower Users would engage in fierce battles to obtain a 'Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core.'

Two years after Abyss Descent, major forces deploying mercenaries to seize a 'Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core' was nothing unusual.

Because a 'Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core' could increase the number of Skill Slots available to a Superpower User.
