As Lin Feng gazed upon the profound and serene scene before him, his mind suddenly found release. The worries that had been bottled up for so long vanished in an instant. At this moment, in his eyes, it seemed as though all the troubles of the world had faded away, leaving only the breathing of his own heart. Strolling beneath an ancient towering tree, he observed it for a long while, feeling a sudden resonance as if a tightly strung chord in his heart began to hum softly. Lin Feng took a deep breath, slightly closed his eyes, opened his mind, and through a special video window in his sea of consciousness, he instantly sent his thoughts to every corner within his range of perception. Upon activating his Heavenly Eye, the true appearance of the entire land within the effective range of the video slowly revealed itself, down to the smallest blade of grass or leaf, which would instantly display corresponding information as his mind swept over them. The scene was like sitting in front of an infinitely expandable invisible screen, playing a game on a magical network terminal. Lin Feng had given this peculiar ability a grandiose name, the Heavenly Eye, but in reality, it was just him utilizing Niuniu’s camera scanning function, using his psychic power to recreate the surrounding scenery in his sea of consciousness. Before, his spiritual psychic cultivation could only briefly manifest this state. However, since the night of the great disaster at Yupan Mountain, his psychic power had advanced significantly, allowing him to trigger this state at will. Today, he didn’t know which nerve he had touched, but he found that the range he could cover had expanded considerably. Lin Feng tried several times with concentrated breath and found that maintaining this state was not difficult with his current level of psychic cultivation, but the broader the area he scanned, the faster his psychic energy was depleted. For instance, under full effort, he could expand the range to a radius of one kilometer, but he could only sustain this state for no more than a minute before feeling mentally exhausted. Conversely, the smaller the area scanned, the longer he could maintain it.
“Hey, why not use this method to explore the map? After all, I’ll be a resident here; I can’t be clueless about what’s right outside my door!” Lin Feng suddenly felt playful and stopped trying to determine the maximum distance he could probe. He focused his mind, concentrating his psychic power above this elegant and quaint community. In his sea of consciousness, a miniature 3D panoramic map immediately appeared. On this map, numerous moving green and red dots could be seen. Each time his psychic power swept over these dots, the map would zoom in to reveal the true identity of each, which were living people. The green dots, aside from visible traits like gender, height, weight, were mostly marked with question marks for details like name, age, and occupation. This was because these green dots were strangers to Lin Feng, and there was no additional information about them in Niuniu’s system. Each red dot represented a living being with whom he had at least interacted once. As for why there were so many red dots around his new home, it was due to the presence of the so-called female bodyguard team, a group of women known as the Overlord Flowers, covertly placed around him by the military for his protection. Lin Feng shook his head with a wry smile; after the surprise attack at the company building last time, the protection level of this Overlord Flower team had evidently been upgraded to round-the-clock. Over time, Lin Feng had become quite familiar with these twenty-four young women, although their formal meeting had only occurred once when Qin Jian introduced them. Thanks to the magical detection capabilities of Niuniu’s camera, he had already thoroughly investigated the profiles of these distinctive women, including their measurements, preferred underwear colors, and signature quirks, all stored in his database like a perverted underwear thief. And in a special folder designated for entertainment, there were numerous high-definition photos taken by him, capturing various refreshing sights. Due to the odd behaviors of Tian Yingzi and Gao Lan, Lin Feng couldn’t help but develop some subtle opinions about this group of Overlord Flowers. The Yueying Squad, as his personal guards, worked in three shifts around the clock. Tian Yingzi and Gao Lan were the leaders of the first and second squads, while the mysterious third squad leader always seemed to elude his gaze, rarely being detected.
After practicing his Heavenly Eye technique under the ancient tree for a while and feeling quite satisfied, Lin Feng was about to end his session when a green dot on the holographic 3D map suddenly rushed towards his location. His mind swept over, and in his sea of consciousness, an energetic little old man dressed in athletic wear was seen sprinting like a sprinter. “Eh!” Lin Feng opened his eyes wide as the little old man, like a cheetah, dashed past him. “No way, am I seeing things? This… this is indeed an old man, an old man running as fast as a cheetah!” The old man’s face seemed somewhat familiar. Quickly searching his memory, Lin Feng instantly recognized the face. “Hey, isn’t this the old man I met in that strange park? How come he lives here too? And with such extraordinary speed, could he be another speed-focused superhuman?” Certainly not an ordinary citizen. With this thought, Lin Feng instinctively activated his Swift Wind Step and chased after the old man. (Damn, I was worried about standing out here and being under surveillance, could this place actually be a gathering spot for superhumans arranged by Qin Jian to keep me company?) In one breath, Lin Feng caught up with the old man, ready to approach and strike up a casual conversation. As soon as he showed the slightest hint of such an intention, the little old man suddenly let out a sharp, strange cry. “Ulu, ulu, ulu~~~” he shrieked as he dashed off, his speed increasing by another third in an instant. The little old man was not just running; he was also shouting in a high-pitched voice, though his tone seemed quite joyful and contented. “Hey, you can go faster? I’ll chase you!” Lin Feng, driven by his competitive spirit, no longer held back. He unleashed his full potential with the Swift Wind Step, following closely behind, chasing after the peculiar little old man with all his might.
Lin Feng was already exerting himself to the utmost, thinking he could easily overtake this odd little old man. However, the moment he sped up, the little old man matched his pace, increasing his speed by just enough to stay ahead. Thus, for a while, Lin Feng remained about three meters behind the old man, unable to surpass him no matter how hard he tried.
“Swish, swish, swish…” The strange sight of an old man and a young man inexplicably began an endless chase around the quaint and elegant courtyard of the community. Their speeds were astonishingly fast, to the point that if one did not concentrate, it was almost impossible to catch a glimpse of their figures. In the blink of an eye, their speed had reached that of a sprinting tiger or leopard, as swift as a thundering charge. All that was left on the flat ground were two whirlwinds chasing each other.
After who knows how long they had been circling the courtyard, the little old man finally stopped under an ancient towering tree, letting out a long, refreshing howl. Lin Feng, like a shadow, followed right behind him.
“Hahaha!” After a hearty laugh, the little old man stretched his limbs with great satisfaction. “Young man, you’ve got spirit! Why haven’t I seen you practicing in the park these last couple of days?”
