Unexpectedly discovered that his Divine Thought was being spied upon!

Lin Hao retracted his Divine Thought; the Captain of the River Debris City Urban Management Team is quite something.

"Lin Hao, why don’t you call the procurement manager?"

Li Chuchu waved her hand in front of Lin Hao as he seemed a bit distracted.

The procurement manager is currently doing a self-review.

Of course, Li Chuchu wasn’t aware of Lin Hao’s Divine Thought probing just now; she was focused on getting the procurement manager back to switch her attention to work.

Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.

"The procurement manager is probably busy now, why don’t you go back first, boss, and I’ll stay here and wait?"

"No, that won’t work, I’ll wait with you."

After half an hour in an unused office, Li Chuchu and Lin Hao...

Sitting under the air conditioner, Li Chuchu still felt hot all over.

Without adjusting her mindset, she couldn’t really be in the same room with Lin Hao.

"Lin Hao, I... I’m not feeling well, I’ll go back to the hotel first."

"Okay, I’ll just wait here, boss, take care of yourself."

Seeing Li Chuchu off, Lin Hao continued to wait for the procurement manager and contacted Xiyu. The main reason he came here was to deliver milk tea to him.

However, why is he taking so long to get in touch?

Normally, Lin Hao would consider using his Divine Thought to find someone, but given that it was just sensed, it wasn’t necessary to be so reckless. Meanwhile, he could ask Xiyu about their captain.

While waiting, Lin Hao activated his Magical Power, holding a Spirit Stone in each hand, and meditated.

[Since becoming a sect leader, Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao has been endlessly busy]

[Through exchanges with sect leaders, elders, and supremes of various sects, Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao has developed a method of "fragmented cultivation"]

[This method is highly recognized and praised in the Cultivation Realm, allowing sect leaders to balance sect duties and strength]

[Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao’s tireless dedication to climb the Immortal Path deeply moves the current restless Cultivation Realm]

[Cultivation +1+1+1+1]

Lin Hao wasn’t particularly concerned about the changes in the log; he only cared about the eternal flow of Magical Power within his body.

Of course, during his meditation, he still had a trace of Divine Thought outside, sensing his surroundings.

Time passed quietly, and no one disturbed the office.

Near the end of the workday, Xiyu pushed the door open, looking apologetic.

"Sorry, sorry, I was in action all day, and due to secrecy requirements, external communication was cut off."

Lin Hao also opened his eyes at the right moment, just seeing Xiyu tug his sleeve to cover the bandages.

"It’s fine, I didn’t have anything to do anyway. Coming here is like expanding the market, it’s a paid vacation."

Lin Hao’s response relieved Xiyu a bit; standing someone up wasn’t intentional, but it did delay things.

After several apologies, seeing that Lin Hao wasn’t bothered, Xiyu sighed in relief:

"The milk tea powder you gave to the procurement manager has been distributed, and the response is excellent. I will definitely help promote it!"

With that, Xiyu pounded his chest to show his determination.

The next second—

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of reverse blood sprayed from Xiyu’s mouth as he slumped into the chair.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Hao came over from the desk, spreading his Divine Thought to check Xiyu’s condition.

The internal organs were obviously damaged, fractures were everywhere, qi and blood were diminishing noticeably, and the power within wasn’t smoothly circulating...

"It’s nothing, nothing, the task intensity was a bit high today, injuries are inevitable. If it was serious, the medical department wouldn’t have let me out."

Xiyu wiped the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly.

Then he took out a packet of Lin Hao’s milk tea powder from his pocket, chewed and swallowed it, followed by a small flask from his pocket, gulping it down.

"Gulp gulp."

"Ah~~"

"Strong liquor with milk tea is simply fantastic!"

He smacked his lips and got up to invite Lin Hao; it was dinnertime, and he had to be a good host.

"Do you want to clean up the blood here?"

"No need, we can’t clean it ourselves. Our city management team has a Cleaner type Superpower User [Cleaner]. After his superpower cleans, even Luminol won’t show any residual blood reaction..."

"Want to rest for a bit?"

"No need."

Xiyu said, pulling out another milk tea powder packet, tearing it open to chew with the wine, enjoying it more as he went.

"You don’t trust my body, but you should trust your superpower. I’ll take ten or eight packets of your milk tea powder on missions from now on, as long as my head isn’t off, the enemy will surely die!"

If Xiyu didn’t have the drunken blush when he said this, it would be even more heroic.

Unfortunately, he was now wobbling while walking.

However, under Lin Hao’s observation, with two packets of milk tea powder consumed, Xiyu’s injuries were already starting to heal slowly.

His self-made milk tea powder was originally meant to be a health drink, but with Xiyu’s antics, it seemed like an emergency kit for superpowers?

Casually chatting, they took the elevator to the basement of the office building.

"This way, this is my exclusive parking area! This entire row of cars is mine!"

Saying this, Xiyu led Lin Hao to the north area of the underground parking lot, where a row of luxury cars Lin Hao couldn’t name stood in a precisely arranged color sequence of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, the spacing creating an aesthetic of order...

"Let’s play eenie-meenie-minie-moe!"

Standing in front of the row of cars, Xiyu pointed and picked a green car, inviting Lin Hao to get in.

Just as he touched the door handle, Xiyu scratched his cheek:

"Uh... I just drank, I can’t drive, brother, why don’t you do it?"

"Alright."

Though Lin Hao had never driven this unknown sports car before, with Xiyu’s guidance from the passenger seat, he quickly grasped how to operate it.

Plus, he could use Magical Power to finely control the vehicle, making it incredibly safe!

[Cultivation is humanity’s ultimate pursuit of evolution, a metaphysical exploration of human potential]

[The otherworldly Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao effortlessly mastered the operation of a new-style carriage]

[This carriage’s top speed on the road seemed just a bit faster than Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao]

[The skills of ordinary people seem to have some merit as well]

[Lin Hao has gained some improvement in "Artifact Refining Technique"]

A slight insight into artifact refining surfaced in Lin Hao’s mind, and under his powerful divine thought, he almost instantly comprehended it.

But it was useless.

It’s important to know that Lin Hao’s artifact refining skill is still stuck at the "Basic" stage, only capable of crafting magical artifacts below the Qi Refining Stage. This little insight, compared to Lin Hao’s current realm, is quite insignificant, with little improvement.

He might as well confirm with Xiyu what to eat tonight.

"This place’s spicy fish head is quite good!"

Xiyu picked a club and, after confirming Lin Hao could handle spicy, numb flavors, and fish heads, turned on the GPS.

"Let’s go, we’re heading to the Mermaid Leisure Entertainment Club in River Debris City, please fasten your seatbelt."

Going to the Mermaid Club to eat fish head, I wonder what will be special about it.

But this club was also in the "Red Thread of Fate" local gifts, Lin Hao thought about covering the bill when they eat later.

While eating, he could also ask about the Captain of the City Management Team.

Perfect plan!

"Boom~"

Start.

Depart.

Just as the vehicle left the City Management Team, they saw a traffic officer on duty.

Xiyu: "Hahaha, good thing I had you drive for me! Otherwise, if the captain found out I was driving under the influence, that would be troublesome."

Soon, it was Lin Hao’s group’s turn for inspection.

Rolling down the window, Xiyu in the passenger seat greeted the traffic officer with a smile:

"Bro, I’ve been drinking, my buddy here is driving, definitely following all traffic rules, not causing you any trouble."

Lin Hao blew into the breathalyzer without any issues.

The traffic officer smiled and nodded at Lin Hao and Xiyu, reaching out his hand:

"Great, no issues, please continue following traffic rules in the future, just register the driver’s license, and you can go."

Hearing this, Lin Hao was momentarily stunned.

Xiyu thought Lin Hao didn’t hear and reminded him:

"Bro, hand over the driver’s license."

Lin Hao: ...

Xiyu sensed something was off but continued to speak:

"Bro, did you forget your driver’s license? It’s okay if you didn’t bring it, just give the traffic officer your ID number, and they can look it up."

Lin Hao: ...

Xiyu swallowed and whispered:

"... You don’t have a driver’s license, do you?"

How could he not have a driver’s license?

How would Lin Hao be driving without one?

In both his previous and current life, Lin Hao has always been a law-abiding citizen.

Lin Hao looked at Xiyu, then at the traffic officer, and tentatively asked:

"Will a Ke Chen City driver’s license work?"

Xiyu: ...

The traffic officer from River Debris City said:

"What do you think?"

Of course...

No way!

He let his guard down!

Despite knowing how to drive and having passed the driving test, Lin Hao subconsciously didn’t consider the administrative management differences between cities, which are generally similar but essentially different in this world.

Ten minutes later.

The Captain of the River Debris City Urban Management Team rode out from the City Management Team on a small electric scooter to bail them out.

"Sorry to trouble you again."

After signing off and coordinating with the traffic officer, the Captain of the River Debris City Urban Management Team glared at Xiyu, who scratched his head and mumbled:

"Captain, it was just an oversight on my part."

With the matter starting from Lin Hao, he felt a bit embarrassed and apologized:

"Sorry, I forgot about the driver’s license for a moment."

"Not your fault, it’s no big deal. Actually, on behalf of our City Management Team, I should thank you. Your bubble tea powder packs helped many of our members."

The Captain of the River Debris City Urban Management Team waved at Lin Hao, parking his small scooter by the roadside before inviting Lin Hao and Xiyu to hop in the car.

"I’ll drive you."

Xiyu: "Captain, is that okay?"

As he spoke, Xiyu climbed back into the passenger seat.

Lin Hao, without a River Debris City driver’s license, obediently sat in the back.

"Captain, is this too much trouble for you? You’ll have to drive us there and then go back."

Before the Captain of the River Debris City Urban Management Team could respond, Xiyu chimed in:

"No, it won’t be. The captain’s ability doesn’t require back and forth; he can open a door at any time and return to his office. It’s super convenient, like a portal scroll in a game."

Captain: "You sure talk a lot."

Xiyu: "Just admit it."

Captain: "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Understanding the Captain of the River Debris City Urban Management Team’s ability is that simple?

Lin Hao wasn’t mentally prepared yet.

However, the captain’s ability should be more than that, otherwise, it wouldn’t explain why Lin Hao could sense the power emanating from his hands’ backs—
