Chapter 358: Chapter 315: Great Increase in Power

“The ’investigation mode’ made Lu Li feel extremely excited inside.

Such terrifying speed of traversal is of immense help to me.

Most importantly, in this state, it’s like I’m constantly using ’regional omniscience’, making it incredibly convenient to find people in the future.

Thinking of the words ’finding people’, Lu Li couldn’t help but recall the Jalisco Group’s big boss, Oseguera, and the target he was now preparing to find, John Chris Morgan.

“Back then, how much effort did I put in just to find Oseguera,” Lu Li couldn’t help but sigh, “Now, with the ’investigation mode’, I just need to ’traverse’ consciously to investigate, saving an untold amount of time.”

With that thought, Lu Li squinted his eyes, “Let me see, is John Chris Morgan hiding nearby?”

If John Chris Morgan is indeed nearby, then I will not alert the enemy, have some fun for a few days, and when the appointed time comes, I will take him out in one fell swoop, bringing this matter to an end.

But if he’s not here, then I must quicken my pace to search for wherever he’s hiding.

Otherwise, if I can’t find him and he’s alive by the appointed time, my previous harsh words will become a laughingstock, mocked by the whole world!

As the only superhuman on Earth currently, revered by prominent figures worldwide, Lu Li can’t afford to lose face.

He began to use the ’regional omniscience’ ability of the ’investigation mode’ to sense where Edward Morgan said the El Dorado Gold Mine was in Fairbanks.

The entire area under Fairbanks’ jurisdiction is less than twenty thousand square kilometers.

Lu Li’s ’regional omniscience’ spans a radius of eighty kilometers, perfectly covering just over twenty thousand square kilometers.

He is now hovering above the city center of Fairbanks, perfectly covering all the jurisdictional area.

Very soon, he discovered the location of the El Dorado Gold Mine, ten kilometers north of Fairbanks.

As one of Alaska’s most important gold mining tourist destinations, even at this early hour, quite a few people are still active.

Lu Li didn’t care about the tourists, instead exploring whether there was an underground base reconstructed from a natural cave beneath the El Dorado Gold Mine.

Soon enough, he did find a natural cave that had been transformed into an underground base.

This underground base is quite vast, modernized with various computer instruments, countless gold, silver, and jewels, as well as various paper books.

Lu Li scanned around and found that these paper books recorded all kinds of advanced technologies, covering various fields.

From aerospace, military industry, to people’s livelihoods and secret recipes for dishes, it almost covered everything.

During the scanning process, he also discovered a drawback of ’investigation mode’.

“This thing doesn’t have ’photographic memory’. To remember the contents of those books, I need to ’transmit’ this information to my body during scanning to remember completely, otherwise, I can remember very little.”

Lu Li noticed that the ’investigation mode’ was like a small USB flash drive, with limited storage space.

Once ’memory’ is full, he must ’transfer’ it to his body or delete ’content’.

Otherwise, it cannot continue to receive information.

He tried to transmit a large amount of informational knowledge over a distance and found that the energy consumption increased significantly.

After transmitting some ’artificial intelligence’ information, Lu Li immediately stopped.

“I can’t continue transmitting; otherwise, my energy might soon be exhausted.”

The transmission commands don’t consume much energy; the main commands are very brief.

Various informational knowledge is different.

A book has at least hundreds of thousands of words.

The same applies to commands.

It’s unsustainable in terms of consumption.

“Forget it, I’ll leave these books for now and wait until my energy is restored to come back for them myself, or I can have Zhou Jinming and the others come to help take them away.”

Lu Li no longer cared for the books and instead focused on thoroughly searching the cave to find traces of John Chris Morgan.

After a thorough search, he was immensely disappointed to find that John Chris Morgan was not here!

“Damn it!” Lu Li was somewhat angry, “Could it be that Edward Morgan and the others are deceiving me?”

But upon thinking more, it didn’t seem right.

He forcibly controlled those people using high-level life pheromones.

There’s no possibility of them lying.

Unless…

Lu Li considered a possibility: “John Chris Morgan had long planned to sacrifice other family members, so he didn’t come here at all but hid elsewhere, not trusting his family members, fearing they would betray his whereabouts!”

It indeed seems like that.

It made Lu Li even hold a little respect for John Chris Morgan.

No wonder he could be the Sect Leader of the Morgan Clan.

The man is truly ruthless.

“Do you think that just because you’re not here, I can’t find you?”

Lu Li squinted his eyes, “If I hadn’t gained the ’investigation mode’ superpower, finding you might have been difficult, but now, with ’investigation mode’, I can search globally twenty-four hours a day regardless of cost, I will definitely find where you are!”

Since John Chris Morgan is not here, Lu Li certainly has no intention of staying any longer.

With a thought, he set course back to Tijuana.

On the way, as he passed Los Angeles, he tried to sense if Julia Giannini was asleep.

To his surprise, Julia Giannini was half-lying on the bed, with a face full of disappointment and expectancy, constantly looking out the window as if hoping for him to come over.

Seeing this, Lu Li hesitated for a moment, “I still haven’t found where John Chris Morgan is, but I want to leave an offspring before the fifth deep evolution. Judging by the new ’detection mode’ superpower that appeared tonight, I shouldn’t be far from the fifth deep evolution.”

On one hand, he wanted to leave an offspring.

On the other hand, his enemy’s true hiding place had yet to be found.

Lu Li was torn about which to do first.

In the end, his gaze became firm, “Leaving an offspring is important, otherwise when the fifth deep evolution comes, I might become ’reproductively isolated’ from normal humans, and it will be irreversible then.”

No matter where John Chris Morgan hides, I will find him and kill him mercilessly.

If I miss the great opportunity to leave an offspring, it would truly be irreversible.

Lu Li understood the priorities clearly, knowing what he should do.

Alright.

Let the ’consciousness’ return to the physical body first.

Once all energy is restored, go to Los Angeles and spend a day with Julia Giannini, to see if it’s possible to leave an offspring.

If I can leave an offspring in one day, then Julia Giannini can ’gain status through the child.’

If not, it just means Julia Giannini isn’t blessed with this fortune.

Lu Li stopped hesitating, his ’consciousness’ retreated into his body like a tide.

As ’consciousness’ returned to the physical body, a question lingered in his mind, “Since I unintentionally evolved a ’detection mode,’ have other aspects enhanced as well?”

…

The ’consciousness’ returned to its origin.

Lu Li felt a sense of ’completion.’

It was as if he knew every inch of his body thoroughly.

He sensed that a series of changes were happening within his body at the moment.

These changes weren’t as significant as during a deep evolution, but stronger than everyday evolution.

The most apparent was the energy within, which seemed to have reached a turning point, evolving towards greater ’solidity.’

“Before every deep evolution in the past, my demand for energy increased significantly, and during that time, the energy went through a qualitative change.”

Lu Li observed and analyzed the situation, “Based on the current situation, I should have reached the ’mid-stage’ of the fourth deep evolution, and hopefully enter the fifth deep evolution in about ten days.”

In at most ten days I will enter the fifth deep evolution?

Lu Li estimated that he would become stronger in these ten days, otherwise, he wouldn’t meet the ’standard’ for deep evolution.

This further convinced him that his previous decision was correct.

He must leave an offspring during this time frame.

Otherwise, no one knows if ’reproductive isolation’ will occur after the fifth deep evolution.

He pondered briefly, then stopped thinking about leaving an offspring, instead focusing on sensing himself thoroughly.

The progression of energy ’qualitative change’ was relatively swift.

About two or three hours later.

The energy’s qualitative change was complete.

From the ’inner vision’ perspective, the ’color’ of the energy changed, appearing red, like the divine light of a deity.

Of course, in the normal human perspective, the energy should appear intangible and formless.

Lu Li was curious about how much impact the qualitative change of energy would have on his body?

He continued observing and indeed discovered many changes.

The newly transformed energy replaced the old energy formerly attached to the cells in the body.

And it combined more tightly with the cells and proteins.

Or rather, it completely fused into them.

When this newly generated energy merged into his body.

Lu Li felt a powerful force rising between each cell.

It was as if his body possessed the strength to move mountains and catch the sun.

Additionally, he noticed that this newly generated energy could influence more than just his physical body; it seemingly also involved various superpowers.

Since the energy hadn’t entirely ’nourished’ his body yet, he wasn’t sure if his guess was correct.

He would only be able to sense it from his body once it was finished.

The speed at which the new energy transformed his body was faster than deep evolution.

One hour.

Two hours.

After three and a half hours.

Lu Li sensed that although the energy wasn’t fully replenished, the body had been completely ’nourished’!

He slowly opened his eyes, ready to test how much he has enhanced!
