As Chen Chuan gradually approached the scene of the incident, he could hear the intense sound of gunfire from time to time in the distance. The streets were filled with panicked crowds evacuating, and in some places, vehicle collisions had occurred. At this moment, the ornamental trees on both sides suddenly shook, and out flew insects, each the size of a fist, with strong jaws and blade-like ventral feet. After emerging, they hovered around the shops, intimidating every passerby, making them dare not approach. These were "Harvesters' produced by the Compound Eye Corporation. This type of Combat Weaponry was responsible for supplementing city guards, but they were only stationed in a few places. Only shops and residences that had participated in security insurance would receive protection from them first. As for the rest, these Combat Weaponry would not pay attention to them and would instead attack those who approached at this time. Chen Chuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the Boundary Token. The incident site, Nest Market, was a second-hand supermarket. The purpose of the attackers choosing that place was unclear, as those who shopped there were not wealthy, and the goods there were mostly cheap second-hand items. However, not far away, there was an exchange house that contained a large amount of valuable goods. After turning another corner, he saw the location, a five-story building. The Security guard patrol team had already surrounded the place, but they were all hiding behind vehicles and buildings at the moment. The attackers inside the building seemed to have extremely accurate shooting skills, as they were being suppressed one by one. Although the patrol team had a large number of people, they could have had some attract attention while others broke through from different directions. However, on the information platform, it was discovered that two of them had the identity of a second Limit Martial Artist, so no one thought of going up. Approaching to capture fully armed Martial Artists, even those with the same Limit could not guarantee their safety. They would wait for someone capable of handling the situation to arrive, as the patrol platform had already notified that someone capable would arrive soon. When Chen Chuan arrived here, as his identity was displayed on the Boundary Token of the Security guard patrol team, they all couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He carried the Snow Emperor Blade and walked over, standing alone in front of the building, looking up. There were several holes in the windows on the second floor, and figures could be seen flashing inside.The explosion should have occurred on the third floor, where thick black smoke was still billowing out. The lighting effects here were still present, with a rotating figure-eight-shaped flying disc in front, streaming with seven-colored flames and emitting various noisy advertisements. However, the surrounding crowd had long since fled or been evacuated, leaving only the sounds echoing in the empty streets. According to the Boundary Token's prompt, these four individuals were entrenched on the second floor, each positioned in different directions. However, he faintly heard quarrels, as if they were arguing, with one side blaming the other. At this moment, he felt something, raised his hand, and a slight vibration came from his palm, accompanied by a roaring sound in his ears, as if the entire street also shook. A bullet head fell from his palm, landing at his feet with a crisp impact sound on the street surface, while hurried and angry shouts came from inside the building.

The next moment, his figure abruptly disappeared from the spot, causing the Security guard patrol team to blink in confusion. Immediately after, a glass window on the second floor suddenly burst open. Chen Chuan chose to break through directly from the front this time, leaping from his spot and instantly arriving at the second floor. As he crashed in, countless fragments flew inwards with him. Two people on either side had their guns aimed outside. Seeing the glass fragments shooting towards them, they didn't even blink, simultaneously turning their gun muzzles towards Chen Chuan and pulling the trigger one by one. Chen Chuan didn't dodge, letting the bullets hit him, with the bullet heads sliding off and falling. The moment his feet landed, the floor tiles beneath him cracked, and he dashed towards one side. The person who fired was just brushed by the hilt of his sword, causing their body to fold to a limit and fly out horizontally. Behind this person, a man with a robust physique was revealed, one of the Martial Artists, and this was the first target he needed to deal with. Seeing Chen Chuan charging towards him, this man didn't avoid him at all, his eyes bloodshot and staring unblinkingly at him, clearly under the influence of drugs.When Chen Chuan reached within the attacking distance, the man roared, and a dagger suddenly thrust towards him. In Chen Chuan's eyes, even though this person had taken drugs, he was still much slower than him. He gently raised his hand and grabbed the arm, then with just a lift, he brought the whole person up and slammed him hard onto the ground! With a bang, the area where the person landed cracked like a spider web, and bodily fluids and blood spurted out from his mouth and nose. The Implant and protective plates on his body shattered together under the impact and the effect of Internal energy. As he charged forward, the remaining two also turned their gun muzzles and desperately fired at him. Chen Chuan did not stay in place, charging towards another Martial Artist. One Martial Artist seemed not to care at all about his companion's fate. Seeing Chen Chuan approaching, he threw away his pistol, drew a baton from his waist, and actively charged towards him. But just halfway through, his movement suddenly paused. The Snow Emperor Blade, along with its sheath, directly pierced through his abdomen. However, under the influence of Drugs and Implant, even though his body was pierced, he still maintained a certain level of combat capability. He tightly grabbed the sheath with one hand, took down the rifle that was originally hanging on his back with the other, and raised the muzzle. At this moment, Chen Chuan abruptly sidestepped and withdrew, pulling the Snow Emperor Blade out of its sheath, and with a spinning slash, a blade flash appeared, and the man's head suddenly flew off. At the same time, he casually flicked his hand towards another direction, and a pebble flew out. The last attacker, hiding behind a shelf, had his head jerked back, the flesh on his forehead suddenly exploded, revealing the reinforced skull underneath. His body staggered a few steps like a drunk and then fell to the ground. Chen Chuan then inserted the Snow Emperor Blade back into its sheath behind him. With a clang, the blade entered the sheath, and he gently pulled it out. The headless corpse behind him swayed and fell to the ground. He looked around; there were seven or eight corpses lying here, presumably the original customers of this place. Not far away, there was a second-hand Implant stall, the boss's head had directly exploded, the bullet must have been shot through the narrow transaction port, but the goods on the shelves here were all intact, showing no signs of being looted.After confirming there were no more attackers here, he connected to the platform through the Boundary Token and reported, "The attackers have all been dealt with, requesting reception." Immediately, the Boundary Token emitted the monotonous voice of an inactive consciousness body: "Received, confirming the situation... Applying to the Processing Bureau... Please wait patiently..." Just a moment later, Ni Qianxi's voice came through: "Well done, Student Chen, you've handled it so quickly. You're much more proactive than the other two students. I have high hopes for you." Chen Chuan walked to the window, looking into the distance, and said, "I feel like there might be more than just four of them." Judging from the weapons and equipment on these individuals, it didn't seem like a spur-of-the-moment decision. Yet, if their target was just a second-hand market, it hardly seemed worth the effort. Ni Qianxi said, "Student Chen, quite sharp, aren't you? We've tracked down a few more of their accomplices. They indeed had a big deal today. Our colleagues from the bureau are already handling it over there. You can just confirm on the Boundary Token and then leave. The City Patrol team will take over from here." Chen Chuan said okay, confirmed on the Boundary Token, and walked down from the building. Ni Qianxi continued, "By the way, young Chen, I'll tell you something. The bureau has opened an account for you on the trading platform and transferred a sum of money into it. Also, there's something from the bureau for you. I figured you wouldn't have time to come and get it, so I've sent it to your school. Remember to sign for it when you get back." "A sum of money?" Chen Chuan was somewhat surprised, "What's this about?" The Processing Bureau's investment was support for his studies, providing him with various conveniences for Martial Combat Cultivation, but it would never directly send him money. Ni Qianxi said matter-of-factly, "That Security guard from Gong Zhanyi's troops shot at you, didn't they? How dare they open fire on someone from the Processing Bureau? Of course, they had to give an explanation. The bureau made them pay an apology fee, and this portion is specifically for your compensation. Rest assured, it's all done according to the rules." Although the Gong Family claimed they didn't know Chen Chuan was from the Processing Bureau and were only trying to kill Xiong Jian Yi, the fact that they used an energy field interference and the fugitive was indeed in their convoy raised serious questions. Without paying some price, they wouldn't be able to get past this incident.After understanding, Chen Chuan thanked Ni Qianxi and ended the call. He found a nearby station and took the tram back to the Mysterious Palace Tower. By the time he returned to his dormitory, it was already past eight in the evening. The mailed package had arrived. He signed for it on the Boundary Token and opened it to find a custom-made Processing Bureau uniform. This was not ordinary clothing; it had protective functions, somewhat similar in style to military uniforms, looking sharp and well-fitted. It also came with a jacket that could cover most of the body, topped with a wide-brimmed hat and a full-coverage mask. Also included was a non-implantable Boundary Token, a grade above the Jade Enjoyment type he currently had, worth at least five figures. This Boundary Token came with a neck guard, with only a thin layer of film at the front that could be combined with the mask. It had more functions, helping him identify special scents, see imaging figures with platform energy field cooperation, and hear distant sounds when he concentrated. For example, if he had this today downstairs, he could have clearly heard the attackers' specific conversations. These items were highly practical, designed to facilitate law enforcement. He then checked his account and found an additional ten thousand yuan. This amount was not insignificant, and it came without any effort. He pondered whether he could use this to apply for a Radiant Light Irradiation at the Academy.
