"Don't worry about that. I just want to find a place to absorb a large number of acquired ability nuclei to improve my strength. However, I don't know where to find so many resources."
Ren Yuanhao probed step by step. Leviathan had already begun to believe him, and coupled with his doting on his granddaughter, he no longer cared about anything else. "I know this place."
Ren Yuanhao and Yafeier both looked at Leviathan. He replied, "The A-class area prisons hold many acquired ability users whose abilities are unstable or who cannot control themselves. You can plunder them to your heart's content, and I can give you a map."
Ren Yuanhao suppressed his emotions, and his expression finally improved a bit. "Good. Doctor, buy me some time. As long as I absorb enough ability nuclei and my strength greatly increases, they will soon extend an olive branch to me."
"What makes you so sure?" Dr. Leviathan seemed unable to confirm this.
"Imagine, if the core strength of the base suddenly weakened, would they change?"
Ren Yuanhao had actually not thought of this before. It was only when he was circulating his energy and adjusting his breath that he suddenly remembered the radical ability users he had eliminated in the laboratory. Since they had just returned to the base from the desert, it meant that the news of the Four Kings to the Seven Kings being defeated by him and lost in the desert had not yet spread, or had only just arrived. At that time, with five out of the Eight Kings eliminated, how could the base higher-ups not panic?
This was Ren Yuanhao's gamble. However, this information was extremely secret and would cause unnecessary trouble, so he could not state it clearly.
Leviathan listened with a muddled mind and saw the determined look in Ren Yuanhao's eyes, so he had to believe him. Moreover, doing so would not affect his granddaughter in any way. Even if this newcomer failed, his granddaughter would still have a backup plan.
This man was merely an experiment, a risk-free experiment. Why not?
The two men were sizing each other up. Coupled with Yafeier's genuine concern for Ren Yuanhao, Leviathan quickly compromised and sent the map to Ren Yuanhao's phone.
"Alright, let's split up. I think at the latest, by the day after tomorrow, I will be able to firmly occupy a seat among the Eight Kings. Then, everything will be simple."
At this moment, Dr. Leviathan frowned, as if he had overlooked the most crucial point. "Kid, you were badly beaten by Vitus just now. Under his pressure, you couldn't even stand steadily. How can I believe you're not bragging?"
Ren Yuanhao smiled and walked to the ability index instrument, quickly unleashing his power. As the wind swirled, an astonishing number of 7200+ instantly appeared on the reading instrument!
Leviathan looked at the number and immediately felt more confident. "As expected of the rookie king, you do have some skills. However, with this much strength, you can only barely scrape by at the edges of the Eight Kings. Although he's dead, the ability indexes of the other seats are all above 8000."
Ren Yuanhao said with confidence, "That's why I need time, isn't it? With my foundation, breaking through to eight thousand is just a matter of time and resources."
Dr. Leviathan finally believed Ren Yuanhao this time and then left with Yafeier. As they reached the door, he added, "The situation is volatile. You'd better act tonight. After all, I don't know how long I can hold out."
...
After the two left, Ren Yuanhao also dragged his clothes and left the高级公寓, finding a dilapidated tent to live in.
At this moment, the system voice sounded again.
"Are you really going to such a dangerous place?"
"Of course. At least I have to let Mu Yanyan and Xiao Yue know that I've arrived, to put their minds at ease, and to let them prepare. Moreover, I might even find equipment to extract True Qi from cultivators."
"I hope it's as simple as you think. Since you've made up your mind, I have a way to help you escape."
"What way?"
"Don't waste time. Go to the prison first. I'll tell you as we go."
...
At this time, dark clouds obscured the moon, and mist gradually rose. On the street, which was built with sky-blue canvas, Ren Yuanhao's shadow moved rapidly like smoke in the dark night.
According to the map, the prison was located in the far west, where the A-class area had the most stringent guards.
However, none of this could stump Miss System.
"Beep beep, the system store has a pill that can mask your aura, a 'pseudo-invisibility' pill. Its duration is about 10 minutes. It's extremely difficult for those below S-class to detect you."
"So you're trying to trick me out of my points?"
"Yes, yes, yes. If you don't want it, fine. Take a good look at how strictly guarded that place is. 200 points, you can't go wrong with it, you can't be fooled."
"Alright, if you joined a pyramid scheme, you'd definitely be a top-tier woman."
"Thank you, but I think exploiting you is more profitable than doing pyramid schemes."
Ren Yuanhao smiled bitterly and redeemed the pill.
"Pill: Concealment Pill, valid for ten minutes."
"I wonder how much simpler things would be if I had so many magical pills back then?"
"Doesn't the system need to be upgraded? I'm telling you, the stronger you get, the richer the items in the store will become. In the future, as long as you call me 'good sister,' I'll be able to cover for you."
"Yes, yes, yes, big sister is awesome."
Ren Yuanhao calculated the time, took the Concealment Pill, and swaggered into the heavily guarded prison.
The top floor of the prison actually held no one; it served as the ground surveillance network. To put it simply, as long as one broke through the ground surveillance network and descended to the prison, it would actually be much easier.
Although it was already around 1 AM, the guards on duty had not rested. They stared with their bullfrog-like eyes as if they had taken drugs. There were guards posted every five steps and sentries every ten steps. It took Ren Yuanhao more than 4 minutes just to pass these sentries.
But just as he caught sight of the entrance to the dungeon below, he suddenly spotted someone, and his entire face changed instantly!
—Mu Yanyan?
Two high-level guards on the left and right were firmly holding Mu Yanyan, their faces filled with lecherous expressions.
"Look, what a figure. I never knew there was such a commodity in the prison. Tonight, it'll be enough for us brothers to have a good time."
"Big brother, aren't you afraid of repercussions from above?"
"Afraid of what? These people are just hostages. As long as they're alive, who cares if she's been...?"
The two men chuckled slyly and then excitedly dragged the groggy Mu Yanyan into their quarters.
"Bastards!"
"Calm down. There's still plenty of time, but I advise you not to kill these two, lest you cause panic and make them strengthen their defenses. Then it will be even more troublesome to save people."
"Sister is right, but I can't swallow this insult!"
