Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality

Chapter 266: Suburban Turmoil



The wooden figure was something Lin Beichen made on a whim.

He had too many secrets on him, not suitable for others to follow, and Lin Beichen didn't want to strain himself over every little thing. Since he had the ability, he naturally thought of ways to ease his own burden.

However, the wooden figure had a downside.

Lin Beichen's Illusion Technique could deceive the human eye, but it couldn't fool detection instruments.

So Lin Beichen tinkered for a while and eventually had to return to Imperial Capital University to ask a makeup expert from the student interest group to make a fake skin for the wooden figure.

A nearly two-meter tall wooden figure, no matter how lifelike its disguise, inevitably drew people's attention.

However, the bulky size and somewhat fierce face of the wooden figure made some people merely curious, not daring to approach.

As for the other part, even if they sensed something odd about the wooden figure, they would be intimidated by the token Lin Beichen showed.

Most of the medals in Lin Beichen's hand were managed by the state.

Because these merits were awarded secretly, even if Lin Beichen took them out, the common people would not recognize them.

Still, for the sake of convenience, he kept a medal.

The Heroic Medal was only mid-tier, but it was enough to handle general troubles.

Before leaving, Lin Beichen had a small matter to handle.

This time returning to the country, Lin Beichen hadn't gone back to see his parents yet.

The incident in Japan caused too much chaos. Though Lin Beichen deliberately leaked some information, he mostly wanted to express his stance and didn't want anyone to threaten his parents and family.

The appearance of Song Luoxing, to some extent, indicated concessions from the higher-ups.

Allowing Lin Beichen to travel abroad and to live a normal life usually.

This was a major concession.

But there were still some minor details.

"The higher-ups aren't monolithic; some people overreach their influence."

Lin Beichen silently recalled his experiences during this time, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes.

Imperial Capital University is located in the South City District.

And further out from the South City District, after passing through the bypass highway, there was an area of abandoned factories.

The factory was abandoned as early as the 1990s, and for almost 30 years, it was nearly unmanaged.

Later, this place became a mix of different characters.

There were hitmen among the hooligans, dangerous persons trafficking illegal drugs and firearms, and people conducting special transactions in trafficking information and kidnapping.

It's hard to imagine that so close to the Imperial Capital, there would be such a massive black market.

One reason for this chaos was that it was in a no-man's land outside the Imperial Capital, difficult to control.

The other reason was that some groups deliberately left this place as their own black gloved hand.

Lin Beichen drove his red sports car.

The factory guard's eyes lit up upon seeing the sports car and was about to ask for more money, but he was confronted by a two-meter-tall giant.

"Ah!"

The towering height and the cold eyes under the cloak scared the guard, making him collapse in fear, almost wetting his pants.

"Do you need something?"

Lin Beichen asked casually.

He stood beside the wooden figure, which seemed harmless, but the wooden figure's presence was too intimidating.

"N-no!"

The guard said in terror, scrambling away.

Money?

Don't be ridiculous.

In front of this giant, surviving was already lucky.

"Handsome, let's get to know each other, I'm Zhao Baiying."

As Lin Beichen and the wooden figure entered the factory hall, they instantly caught many people's attention.

The wooden figure stood at the entrance, almost blocking all the paths.

With a physique like a small mountain, no one dared to mess with him.

Lin Beichen didn't seem remarkable, but the wooden figure stood silently behind him.

The contrast gave Lin Beichen a mysterious aura.

Lin Beichen had just sat down when a hot girl in a tight T-shirt and shorts approached him enthusiastically.

"I'm Lin Beichen."

Lin Beichen said.

He came here tonight to make a point, so he didn't intend to hide his name.

Seeing Lin Beichen voluntarily state his name, Zhao Baiying's eyes lit up.

She actively sought topics, but her gaze frequently settled on the wooden figure.

Lin Beichen knew that a hot beauty like Zhao Baiying didn't really fancy him; her target was the wooden figure.

Unfortunately, Zhao Baiying flirted with the wrong one. The wooden figure wasn't a person at all, just a piece of wood.

During their chat, Lin Beichen learned Zhao Baiying's identity.

A top student at the Imperial Capital University of Art, she came here with classmates because she heard there was an exciting place outside the Imperial Capital.

The Imperial Capital, the greatest in Asia.

Had the Imperial Capital not diverted some population to other cities, its population would have long exceeded 40 million.

Even with modern technology, feeding and sustaining a 40-million population city involves tremendous daily pressure.

Lin Beichen actually knew that this land under his feet, including the surrounding vast area, was to be developed as a secondary capital in the future.

But this news was still brewing, known to very few, not even Bai Yunfei from the eight major commercial families knew much about it.

"Is that big guy your friend? Why doesn't he sit down?"

Zhao Baiying touched the wooden figure curiously and asked.

"He's a bit slow, prefers standing, but he's very good-natured, nothing to fear."
