Chapter 136: Spy Catching Operation (2)

It was precisely because he understood the various matters that needed to be paid attention to during the refinement process that Feng Qi was very serious in his studies. If he did not understand, he would immediately ask questions.
He could not be careless when learning alchemy knowledge.
Finally, half an hour later, a light blue mixed liquid began to drip from the tube on the right side of the instrument.
A faint fragrance quickly spread in the room. Taking a deep breath made one feel refreshed and lively.
As the Drunken Fragrance Fruit was one of the ingredients used to brew the Mind Cleansing Wine, the medicinal liquid had a hint of alcohol and a strong aftertaste. However, one could not smell any alcohol with their nose.
In less than a moment, a bottle of Heart Cleansing Wine was brewed.
At this moment, Feng Qi reached out and picked up the glass cup.
As it swayed, one could clearly see specks of crystalline light appear in the blue liquid and slowly flow.
“Brother Qi, it’s done.” At this moment, Le Ping’an turned off the instrument and looked at Feng Qi with a shy smile.
“Thank you. I’ve already mastered the process of brewing the Heart Cleansing Wine. I don’t need to trouble you in the future.”
“It’s fine. You can come to me anytime if you have any questions.”
After chatting for a while, Feng Qi left Le Ping’an’s room.
He was becoming more and more fond of this student.
He was humble and very hardworking.
While he was learning how to brew Mind Cleansing Wine, Le Pingan would also ask him questions about cultivation and note down the answers.
Usually, in the library, he would often see Le Ping’an burying his head and studying hard.
Which teacher wouldn’t love such a student?
After returning to the dormitory, Feng Qi sat at his desk.
Right now, the energy progress bar was at 76%. The cost of brewing a bottle of Heart Cleansing Wine was $1.25 million, which could give him about 175% of energy replenishment.
Therefore, Feng Qi planned to drink half a bottle first.
If he drank it all in one go, the energy progress bar would overflow by 200%. This would cause him to enter the future dream again the next time he returned to reality.
For every trip to the future dream, he would habitually plan and take action after having a complete plan.
Unless it was to increase his strength and purely focus on killing monsters to level up, it was very inefficient to enter the future dream continuously.
At this thought, he pulled out the stopper and downed half a bottle of Heart Cleansing Wine.
A rich fragrance instantly burst out from his mouth and nose. His body also heated up, and his skin turned red.
The percentage value on the energy progress bar began to jump.
As he waited, the percentage of the energy progress bar stopped at 163%, and the feedback from his body dissipated.
Before Feng Qi prepared to enter the future dream, he opened his notebook.
This time, he chose to join the Scarlet Research Institute to obtain useful information.
Most importantly, he wanted to cooperate with the Scarlet Research Institute to find the spy lurking among the students.
The spy, left alone, was like a fishbone stuck in his throat.
These students were the core strength of his future domain combat team.
Before he began to nurture them, it was imperative to eliminate the spy lurking in the dark.
And if he found the spy, he could also dig out the hidden faction behind him.
If he succeeded, he could kill two birds with one stone.
He wanted to expose the dark forces that had been lurking in human civilization.
In the future, he could carry out a series of actions against the dark forces and remove this cancer buried in human civilization, allowing human civilization to grow healthily.
Perhaps after the dark forces were eliminated, he would enter the future dream again and see a brand new starting point instead of the end of human civilization.
Before entering the dream, Feng Qi began to organize important information related to the spy in his notebook.
A moment later, several messages appeared in the notebook.
Spy Clue 1: The possibility that Lu Yue and the three Xia brothers are the spy is eliminated. After I died in the future, they were all sent to the guillotine and sentenced to death.
Spy Clue 2: The spy implanted a listening chip in me, but it’s unclear when that was done.
Note: Le Ping’an comes from the Science and Technology Research Institute, so he’s more suspicious. However, ordinary people can also buy surveillance chips online, so I can’t be sure that Le Ping’an is a spy.
Spy Clue 3:1 can basically eliminate the possibility that the monk is a spy. He would become the spiritual mentor of humans in the future, which runs counter to the actions of the dark forces to destroy human civilization.
Spy Clue 4: Among the clues provided by Mo Fei, Cai Guo, Le Ping’an, and Xu Hongyun, who were supposed to be sentenced to life imprisonment, were secretly released. Their suspicion increased greatly. The spy was very likely to be one of them, or all of them might be spies.
Spy Clue 5. The other students, Yang Xiaoxin, Yan Yue, and Jia Yi (joining the Scarlet Research Institute), are not obvious suspects, but it cannot be ruled out that one of them is the spy.
Note: Perhaps the spy is the most well-concealed person. Not being suspicious doesn’t mean anything.
After consolidating the information about the spies, Feng Qi fell into deep thought.
At this moment, he thought of a problem. If he chose to join the Scarlet Research Institute, the students would be estranged from him.
This would make it difficult to identify who was a spy.
After thinking about it, he changed his mind at the last minute and decided to continue establishing the organization to fight against the dark forces to increase the chances of contact with potential spies.
The difference was that while establishing the organization, he could cooperate with the Scarlet Research Institute on this future timeline to find the spy-
After finding the spy, he could join the Scarlet Research Institute again.
As for whether the Scarlet Research Institute would trust him, this was actually very easy to resolve.
Through the previous email messages, he already knew many secrets about the Scarlet Research Institute. These secrets could make the Scarlet Research Institute believe that he had the ability to transmigrate across timelines.
However, there was a very small chance that the Scarlet Research Institute would treat him as a secret agent and imprison him or even torture him to extract a confession.
The first half of this plan was like being a spy among spies among spies.
He would set up an organization to search for the spy, who lurked around him in order to steal information. At the same time, he was a spy for the Scarlet Research Institute to search for the spy.
The relationship was complicated.
After sorting out his thoughts, Feng Qi prepared to enter the future dream and begin a new journey.
At this moment, his phone rang.
He picked it up and realized that it was a call from Bai Fusheng.
After the call connected, Bai Fusheng’s laughter came from the other end of the phone.
“The matter you asked me to help with has been settled. Fang Zhiyou’s parents agreed to let Fang Zhiyou drop out of school and come to Star City Academy to participate in your virtual technology research and development.”
“Impressive, Grandmaster.” Feng Qi praised at once.
“You also have foresight. Before we arranged to meet that day, Fang Zhiyou’s parents were determined. They firmly disagreed with Fang Zhiyou giving up his studies to do virtual technology. They even said that virtual technology was pure evil and asked me not to hold up their child.”
“However, when they saw the Star City Academy’s principal uniform and principal badge I was wearing, their attitudes changed entirely. However, they still expressed their doubts about my identity as the principal, so I took out my principal certificate.”
“Didn’t they suspect that the principal’s certificate is also fake?” Feng Qi could not help but ask curiously.
“Of course they suspected me, so I asked them to check online. After all, some of my information and photos are on the Internet. After they did so, they completely believed me.”
“So they agreed after that?”
“Not yet. They were warm to me because they hoped that I could help Fang Zhiyu enter the cultivation techniques class at Star City Academy. During this period, they kept leading the topic in this direction, but 1 didn’t agree. After all, I won’t play favoritism.”
“In short, 1 spent a lot of effort talking to them. First, I told them that with Fang Zhiyou’s results, he basically had no fate with Star City Academy. Second, I told them that if Fang Zhiyou’s research and development talent in virtual technology could be completely revealed, he would have higher achievements than joining the cultivation technique research class… Even so, his parents were still very hesitant.”
“Just now, they finally made a decision. They called me and expressed their willingness to send Fang Zhiyou to Star City Academy to develop virtual technology.”
In the end, Bai Fusheng couldn’t help but sigh.
“Sometimes, parents’ expectations and pressure for their children are not necessarily a good thing.”
After hearing Bai Fusheng’s explanation, Feng Qi felt ashamed.
In order to convince Fang Zhiyou’s parents, Bai Fusheng clearly spent a lot of effort.
Fortunately, Fang Zhiyou’s parents had already agreed. There were no more obstacles in the construction of the virtual engine. He only needed to wait for time to pass.
After thanking him, Feng Qi hung up.
He sat in front of the desk and thought for a moment. Then, he closed his notebook and lay on the bed.
Next, he would work hard with his future self to launch the operation to capture the spy.
The drunkenness of the Heart Cleansing Wine had yet to subside.
A moment later, his thoughts gradually emptied, and his expression gradually became peaceful…
