Chu Ge believed that his ability was not just a B, considering that this evaluation wasn’t based on combat power. If his ability was truly related to creation, not to mention the world, even if he could just create a dog, it would definitely be an S+.
The current problem was that his ability was not clear. Was it truly world creation or fantasy manifestation? Both seemed to be related but not entirely accurate, leaving room for doubt.
For example, in the case of fantasy manifestation, why did only Qi Wuji appear and not others? Chu Ge had tried to manifest a dogweed, but it never appeared.
As for world creation, why couldn’t the creator enter the world? Even modifying the content of the world was heavily restricted and couldn’t be changed freely.
The effects of his ability were also not evident. He couldn’t control or invoke it, and everything was still in the exploratory stage. Even in the exploratory stage, it was more difficult for him than others.
Hmm… it wasn’t the time to think about these things. Chu Ge obediently refrained from looking at the other pages of the internal publication. He simply said to Lin Wuyang, “If this person is going to seek revenge on those who participated in the Wang Family Nightclub incident, then I suppose it will eventually come to me as well.”
“Technically, they don’t know who you are, so it would be difficult for them to find you,” Lin Wuyang replied. “The reason the people from the Black Room were identified is probably because they were captured on surveillance cameras at the nightclub. I confirmed that they were identified based on that. Although we removed the surveillance footage, we can’t be sure if they have backups or something similar. There are no cameras at the entrance of your alley, and I could only vaguely connect you based on descriptions and sketches. It’s unlikely that they have such forensic capabilities.”
“So I should be fine, but Zhong Yi might have some trouble?” Chu Ge asked.
“Yes, I’m planning to organize a team to have plainclothes officers follow Zhong Yi and see if they can catch any leads,” Lin Wuyang replied with a serious expression. “With Zhong Yi’s ability, it would be pointless to just beat him up in retaliation; he wouldn’t feel a thing. If someone is truly targeting him, they might resort to more severe measures, possibly causing permanent injuries. We must intervene.”
Chu Ge secretly thought to himself that if you’re thinking this way, the other side might be as well. But who knows, they might not even be aware that we’ve reported to the police. After all, it’s not common for ability users to go and report such conflicts. It’s always a good idea to have people keeping an eye on things.
Lin Wuyang continued, “Just in case, I’ll assign two people to accompany you as well. It would be convenient, right?”
Since Qi Wuji was currently absent, it didn’t matter who accompanied him. Chu Ge smiled and replied, “Of course, it would be convenient. It’s even better if they come looking for me. I can say that a concerned citizen wants to help you guys out.”
“Cut it out, you’re obviously just holding a grudge and seeking revenge for your Black Room comrades,” Lin Wuyang remarked, looking at Chu Ge once again. He clicked his tongue and continued, “Lately, I’ve noticed that you’ve become more chivalrous. I couldn’t tell when we were in college.”
“Well, when we were in college, I couldn’t tell that you were so righteous either.”
“To be honest, it’s not that I have a strong sense of justice. If you’re doing a job, you should do it well and live up to the hat on your head and the emblem above it,” Lin Wuyang said, putting on his police cap and letting out a long sigh. “Besides, I have ambitions too. Who doesn’t want to be promoted? If I’m stuck in the same place for ten years, I’ll probably lose motivation and stop caring.”
“True,” Chu Ge responded and asked, “Hey, if you catch this wanted criminal, would you get promoted?”
“Despite the recent troubles, achievements are achievements, and they can’t be erased. But with more trouble comes more gossip… If we really catch the wanted criminal, that gossip will likely subside, and there might be a chance for a promotion.”
“Would it be a promotion to deputy director at the bureau or a transfer to the provincial department?”
“The higher-ups are paying increasing attention to this area, so it’s very likely that my department will be elevated, and I’ll be promoted accordingly,” Lin Wuyang smiled. “But I’ve said too much. I still have limited experience and qualifications. Thinking too optimistically might not lead to good outcomes. It’s more likely that they’ll bring in a leader from outside… Oh well. That’s enough about that. I need to go and arrange some work, and you take care too.”
Chu Ge watched as Lin Wuyang’s tall figure walked away with big strides. He realized that Lin Wuyang and himself were the same age, although Lin Wuyang seemed to be a few months older. It was already quite difficult to become a full-fledged section chief at the age of twenty-eight, and being promoted to deputy director with his limited experience would indeed be challenging.
But it was clear that Lin Wuyang really wanted it… He said he was thinking too optimistically, but deep down, he really wanted it.
Well, that’s what a true old classmate is like.
He stood quietly under the shade of a tree for a while. Soon enough, two young individuals in plainclothes approached from behind and gestured towards him. Chu Ge nodded, knowing that they were the plainclothes officers assigned by Lin Wuyang. He then walked away from the hospital.
Strolling aimlessly outside, Chu Ge didn’t know what he should do at the moment.
Going home to write seemed unappealing. When the police were busy apprehending a wanted criminal, what was the point of going back home to write… Panda and Wan Zijun, loyal readers, would surely agree.
But what role could he play by wandering around like this?
In theory, the possibility of someone seeking revenge against him was indeed slim. Chu Ge believed Lin Wuyang’s judgment that there was no reason for the other side to know who he was. However, the situation with the Black Room and Chef Jin’s stability was questionable. If the other side knew that Zhong Yi and Chef Jin were associated…
With that in mind, Chu Ge quickly made his way to Chef Jin’s restaurant.
…………
At this time, Chef Jin’s restaurant welcomed a special guest.
It was just past ten in the morning, and there were no customers yet. Chef Jin was in the kitchen preparing ingredients, while his wife was at the counter using her phone to communicate with Zhong Yi about the conditions of their injured comrades.
The relationships within the Black Room were supposed to be kept confidential, so it wasn’t appropriate for them to visit all at once. They could only express their concern remotely.
A muscular man with a sinister look pushed open the glass door.
Suppressing others with abilities requires a strong physique as well. Rong Fu was very satisfied with his own physical strength. He had once fought against those who participated in underground fights without using his abilities, and he managed to beat them to death effortlessly.
His gaze fell upon the owner’s wife behind the counter, revealing a strange smirk.
This owner’s wife, Xu Niang, was middle-aged but still had her charms.
He wasn’t sure if this couple were members of the Black Room, but he knew that Wan Zijun, Panda and others often gathered here, so he decided to take a look.
With just one glance, it was clear that the owner’s wife had abilities. The faint fluctuation in her spirit could be discerned.
This was the reason why Zhang Qiren couldn’t figure out why he couldn’t detect Chu Ge’s abilities. According to logic, those with abilities had a strong spiritual power and could sense each other. It was easier for those with higher levels to detect those with lower levels. Zhang Qiren hadn’t trained his abilities much, but Moon Shadow had diligently honed hers. It was understandable that he couldn’t sense the abilities of the lady across the street, but why couldn’t he detect Chu Ge? They all spent their days sitting and writing, right?
When the owner’s wife saw the customer entering, she greeted, “Hello, how many?”
Rong Fu squinted his eyes and sized her up for a moment, then grinned, “Just one.”
As he spoke, he brushed past the owner’s wife and sat at a table closer to the inside. In passing, he casually touched her.
The owner’s wife frowned, finding this customer repulsive, and her tone turned cold, “The menu is on the table.”
Rong Fu sat at the table in a grand manner, analyzing the ability he had just copied from the owner’s wife, while boldly saying, “Can I order you?”
The owner’s wife’s expression instantly changed.
Rong Fu’s expression also changed simultaneously.
He thought that by copying a superior ability, he could easily overpower the other person. But now, what did he steal?
A plate of brightly shining food? Are you kidding me?
