I Have Infinite Skill Points

"Captain!" The other two Demons let out a simultaneous roar.

This call made Wang Lan stare dumbfounded at the Demon's corpse lying on the ground, thoroughly dead. Is my luck really this good? Did I just pick out the strongest of the three at a glance?

"Double Flash Dragon Flight!"

"Purple Lightning Blast!"

Seizing the opportunity, Wang Qianfeng and Li Weixin instantly unleashed their powerful moves, which they had been preparing for a long time, just waiting for the chance to kill the enemy. The moment the Zhang Jixi Demon was killed by Wang Lan in a life-for-life attack, there was a slight pause in their actions.

Facing two veteran Galaxy Stage experts, a slight pause was enough to doom them.

"Assist in killing, reward 500 experience points, 10 skill points."

"Assist in killing, reward 500 experience points, 10 skill points."

BOOM—

The terrifying aftershocks exploded, instantly breaking through the top of the barrier, turning into a beam of light shooting up into the sky.

In the raging wind of the aftermath, the silhouettes of three supreme beings flickered in and out of visibility. All the warriors of the Tianjian Bureau looked up with admiration at the three powerhouses emerging in the wind.

Three high-ranking spies from the Demon Clan, any one of whom could have caused incalculable damage to humanity.

In the past, even if a spy from the Demon Clan was captured, they were just small fry. High-ranking Demons, apart from that one time in Xinyi Garden, had never been encountered before. And this time, three were killed outright.

What a meritorious feat! It could be imagined that everyone involved in today's operation would have a significant entry in the record of merits.

Wang Qianfeng and Li Weixin were also exhilarated. Starting the new year with the discovery of the source of the Demonic Transformation Potion, and on the second day, a spy group of high-ranking Demons was wiped out in one fell swoop.

Such merits were not only exciting for the subordinates; even the two of them were brimming with smiles.

Facing the admiring gazes all around, Wang Qianfeng felt he should say something.

Just as he was about to speak, Wang Lan, under everyone's gaze, collapsed straight to the ground.

The Phoenix form had lasted for three minutes... three minutes of the Phoenix form.

When the three-minute Phoenix form ended, the intense negative conditions hit him like a blob of mustard straight to the forehead.

Wang Lan fell, a fierce smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.

SWISH—

Everyone's eyes were transfixed on Wang Lan lying on the ground, his body still twitching unconsciously.

"Junior brother, is this... did he fall victim to a Demon Clan sneak attack?" a woman from the intelligence department asked hesitantly.

"No worries, he's just overexerted himself, causing muscle spasms," Wang Qianfeng stated lightly after inspecting him. He had received information about such a scenario six months ago.

"Successfully destroyed the elite Demon Clan spy group, reward 30,000 experience points, 1,000 skill points..."

System notifications chimed in Wang Lan's daze.

And the experience bar that was already over eighty percent full was instantly flooded by this surge of experience, bursting the meter.

In an instant, his character level jumped from Star Shine five to Star Shine six, and the experience bar surged past thirty percent.

"Captain Xu, you carry Wang Lan back..." Wang Qianfeng's words were cut off as his teeth chattered, biting his tongue.

A clear wave of Star Energy Fluctuation rose up from Wang Lan's body.

In the silent night, when everything seemed settled, a sudden ripple emerged.

Xu Shiyun was just about to respond, but his step halted abruptly. His eyes, filled with astonishment, stared at the man-shaped beast on the ground... When was Wang Lan's last breakthrough? It seemed to be... in November, right? That was just over two months ago? Another breakthrough? No! That's not the point. Absolutely not. Last time, Wang Lan broke through after an intense battle, explaining that he was just so happy and exhilarated from personally killing a high-ranking Demon spy that he broke through in his excitement. At that time, I thought of him as a beast, breaking through after a battle, even after consuming Star Power. But compared to this time, last time he still seemed human.

Right now, many of the Tianjian Bureau's brothers had contorted expressions on their faces. That kind of incredulous, "are you kidding me?" look was deeply etched on each of their faces.

You're completely exhausted, near collapse! How did you break through in such a state? Can a normal person pull off such a feat?

"Director Wang... shall we... take him to the Science Academy for research?" Xu Shiyun suggested in a low voice, his face twisted.

"Hmm... you handle it, and I'll pretend I don't know, how about that?"

"Isn't that a joke..." Xu Shiyun pointed at Wang Lan who was still twitching on the ground. "To break through in this state? Although the breakthrough is minor, just a little progress. But still, it's a breakthrough... Star Power consumed to the point of exhaustion, the whole person is twitching, and you don't want to cut him open and study that?"

"I do want to, so didn't I just agree to your proposal?"

"Are you giving me a written order or not?"

"If I issue an order, how are you supposed to take the fall for this?"

Xu Shiyun clammed up. Only Director Wang, he thought, could say something so blatantly shameless with such righteous conviction.

Wang Lan opened his eyes and, like someone waking up in the morning, slowly sat up. He stretched out his arms, taking a long, lazy stretch.

"Fantastic!"

"Fantastic your ass!" Xu Shiyun slapped Wang Lan back to the ground. "Stretcher! Stretcher!"

"No, Xu, I'm fine. No need for a stretcher, I can stand up."

"No, you can't! Stay down."

"But really, I'm fine..."

Xu Shiyun firmly held down Wang Lan, pinching his neck. "Don't you want a first-class merit?"

"What?"

"Merit Class Three, stand to receive; Merit Class Two, lie down to receive; Merit Class One, receive after death. Do you still expect to stand to receive Merit Class One? Lie down for me!"

"The stretcher is here!"

Then, the classic scene unfolded. Two Tianjian Bureau brothers carried Wang Lan swiftly, as if any slower would mean losing him. And Wang Lan picked up the tablet computer that the girl had been so fixated on, the one for which she had risked revealing herself.

He took out a key ring, flipped it to reveal a specialized USB drive, and inserted it into the tablet computer.

"Xiao Ai, wake up."

"Xiao Ai 120 reporting. Wang Lan, how can I help you?"

"Help me carefully check the computer for any hidden files."

"Okay!"

"Brother Wang Lan, put the tablet down for now. Come on, let's take a picture."

"Cheese!"

"Cheese my ass! Act like you're at death's door!"

"Oh!" Wang Lan instantly got the message, body jerking, legs stretching out, head lolling to the side.

Perfect!

Back at the Tianjian Bureau, Wang Lan didn't really want to rest. The negative effects of the Phoenix form had been washed away by the character level-up. But the organization cared for its meritorious officers and wanted Wang Lan to stay in the Tianjian Bureau dormitory to rest.

In reality, they were afraid that a group of stimulated brothers would drag Wang Lan out and beat him to death.

Wang Qianfeng, along with a host of brothers involved in the operation, were already busy. Even though three Demon Clan spies had been executed on the spot, evidence still needed to be collected. What remained was to extract from Ma Bo the location of the Demonic Transformation Potion's production workshop and put an end to the Demon Clan's ant nest plan.

"Director Wang! The hairs collected from Ma Xiangru's home have been successfully analyzed. The DNA matches Ma Xiangru, his wife, and his daughter. The Demon Clan members didn't just disguise themselves as Ma Xiangru's family; they replaced them."

"Does this mean Ma Xiangru's family is already dead?" Director Wang asked in surprise.

"It appears so."

"Does Ma Bo know?"

"Not sure, he probably doesn't know. Should we interrogate him?"

"Let's go, I'll interrogate him myself."

In the rest room, Wang Lan held the tablet computer and rapidly typed code on the laptop.

Normally, this tablet computer should have been handed over as evidence to professional evidence analysis experts. But maybe it was too busy today, or maybe they chose to ignore it.

From the end of the battle until now, no one had come to take the tablet from Wang Lan's hands, and he had not thought about turning it in. Intuition told him that there was definitely a secret hidden in this tablet.

The tablet was mostly filled with leisurely fun games. Xiao Ai thoroughly searched once more, and indeed there were no hidden encrypted files in the tablet.

"Xiao Ai, bring up the apps she used most often."

TAP, TAP, TAP—

A dozen little games, all incredibly childish, were downloaded from official app store channels.

"Analyze who she interacted with in the games."

"The data has been deleted; we'll need to extract the data from each game company."

"So many little games, and they're spread all over the country, impossible to trace..."

Wang Lan held the tablet, scrutinizing it carefully. There should be a secret here. That Demon was so anxious earlier; there must be something hidden in this tablet.

Suddenly, a worn handprint on the screen caught Wang Lan's eye.

Wang Lan kept switching screens, and on the seventh page, the worn handprint matched with a game icon that was seldom seen.

Wang Lan tried tapping on it.

HUM—

The game opened quickly, basically a match-two style game.

"Wang Lan, this game runs on a private server."

"Private server? It's not a standalone game?"

"No, there's a remote server behind the game. Should we track the location of the server?"

"Track it."

Xiao Ai was capable of sweeping through half of Jade Country in a minute. Since the game connected to the other party's server, which was virtually undefended against Xiao Ai, it took her less than three minutes to lock down the server's location.

"In Suzhou City, Changxiang District."

"Mark it on the map."

The Penguin Map in the tablet computer opened and instantly, a coordinate lit up—a remote location 42 kilometers from Wang Lan, near the Yangtze River.

Seeing this, Wang Lan immediately stood up. Without a doubt, this place either hid a Demon Clan base or another group of Demon Clan spies. Otherwise, who would set up a workshop in such a secluded, deserted area? Well, it was a case of pulling out one radish and getting a load of dirt; this single vine seemed to have seven melons.

He stood up, opened the door, and walked out of the dormitory.

"Ma Bo, you still refuse to confess? We've obtained concrete evidence that proves your betrayal, colluding with the Demon Clan. If you continue to resist, we'll have to use Spirit Engraving Extraction to get your memories."

"My brain doesn't belong to just me; it's a treasure for all humankind. If you want to destroy humankind's treasure, then go ahead. I'm old enough not to care about life and death anymore."

"But your brain has become a sin against all humankind," Wang Qianfeng coldly shouted as he pushed open the door. "I just came back from Sky Swan Garden. Guess who we caught?"

Ma Bo lifted his head, looking at Wang Qianfeng with hesitation.

"You've been giving Ma Xiangru millions each year, claiming, by your account, that it was money for your son. Yet when we inquired just now, we found your son, daughter-in-law, and even your granddaughter are all Demon Clan spies. The money you've been wiring every year was actually funding for Demon Clan spy activities. I have video evidence of the entire process; do you still dare to deny it?"
