Ten minutes later, just after Luo Fei and the others returned to the police station, the narcotics team arrived.
There were four of them—three men and one woman. Leading the group was Wang Sanqian, the narcotics squad captain whom Luo Fei had previously seen at the commendation conference.
“Chief Zhou, not bad at all. Your station has really been making waves lately. Director Wu keeps mentioning Songxin Town Police Station,” Wang Sanqian said with a smile as soon as he arrived.
Luo Fei kept his eyes on him.
This was his second time seeing this man, known as a hero in Anyuan Province.
Unlike the dazzling, almost radiant impression he gave at the award ceremony, today Wang Sanqian looked completely ordinary—like any middle-aged man you might pass on the street. So ordinary that no one in a crowd would ever connect him to his legendary achievements.
In that sense, he was very different from Captain Zhao Donglai of the criminal investigation team. Zhao Donglai’s presence was overwhelming; no matter where he stood, he would always be the first person people noticed.
Zhou Weimin clearly enjoyed the compliment. The slight curve at the corner of his mouth betrayed him, though he still waved his hand modestly.
“Compared to your narcotics team, we’re still far behind.”
“Where are the two drug carriers? Let’s take a look first,” Wang Sanqian said, not lingering on pleasantries.
As the group moved inside, he suddenly turned his attention to Luo Fei.
“Chief Zhou, this young man—is he Luo Fei?”
“Yes,” Zhou Weimin nodded. “He’s one of our outstanding new recruits. Just got officially promoted a few days ago.”
Mentioning Luo Fei always made Zhou Weimin visibly proud. This young man was truly one of their best rising talents.
“Luo Fei, how did you discover the drugs on those two girls?” Wang Sanqian asked curiously.
Luo Fei repeated the explanation he had previously given to Zhou Weimin.
When he mentioned that he could smell the drugs, Wang Sanqian’s eyes noticeably lit up.
Zhou Weimin’s heart immediately tightened.
He knew that Luo Fei was now the prized asset of Songxin Town Police Station—and he had absolutely no intention of letting him be taken away.
Quickly, Zhou Weimin cut in.
“Sanqian, they’re here. The two suspects are right inside.”
That afternoon, Wang Sanqian took the two girls away.
A total of over 500 grams of drugs were recovered from their bodies.
If nothing unexpected had happened, their entire lives would have been destroyed.
Two young lives, originally full of possibility—ruined by a moment of temptation.
Luo Fei felt a quiet heaviness in his chest.
He silently reminded himself – one wrong step in life could lead to a bottomless abyss.
One mistake—then the next step is already hell.
After Wang Sanqian and his team left, Zhou Weimin gave Luo Fei another round of praise.
The other colleagues also came forward to congratulate him. Catching two drug traffickers—this was a major contribution.
Finally managing to escape the enthusiastic crowd, Luo Fei returned to his seat—but Wu Wei and Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately leaned in again.
“Luo Fei, tell me honestly—was your nose born that way or trained? I never thought a good nose could actually be this powerful for a career,” Wu Wei said dramatically, his usual exaggerated tone returning.
Jiang Xiaoxiao added without hesitation, “They say a good wind lifts you to the sky. For you, Luo Fei, it’s your nose that lifts you up.”
Luo Fei didn’t respond. He wasn’t in the mood to joke around.
Because just then, the system notification appeared.
Due to the capture of two drug carriers and preventing 500 grams of drugs from entering circulation, the system rewarded 1,500 gold coins.
Gene Fusion System
Host – Luo Fei Gender – Male Age – 23
Gene Fusion – Police Dog Olfactory Gene, Gorilla Strength Gene
Gold Coins – 3,500
Gene Shop – Hyena Endurance Gene (2,000 coins), Praying Mantis Reaction Gene (2,000 coins), Monkey Agility Gene (2,000 coins), Eagle Vision Gene (2,000 coins), Viper Infrared Vision Gene (2,000 coins), Gorilla Strength Gene (2,000 coins), Ant Strength Gene (5,000 coins), Cheetah Speed Gene (3,000 coins)
Looking at the 3,500 gold coins, Luo Fei remained expressionless on the surface—
but inside, he was ecstatic.
“I’m going to the restroom,” he said to Wu Wei, who was still rambling beside him, and quickly walked away.
He couldn’t wait any longer.
He had to fuse the next gene.
“Purchase Chimpanzee Memory Gene.”
Yes. This was the gene Luo Fei had been thinking about for a long time—the chimpanzee memory gene.
At 3,000 gold coins, it was undoubtedly powerful.
System products were always top-tier.
Luo Fei was self-taught in this profession. There was too much to learn, too much to memorize—and he had long realized that his weak memory was the biggest obstacle to his progress.
That was why he had saved up for this gene from the beginning.
After searching through the gene catalog, he finally found it.
He had deliberately saved his coins just for this moment.
“Ding. 3,000 gold coins deducted. Chimpanzee Memory Gene purchased. Host is advised to merge immediately.”
“Merge.”
A warm sensation spread through his head, like it was being soaked in warm water.
Luo Fei felt as if he could see his own brain—blue light flowing inside it, constantly upgrading and reorganizing.
Whether it lasted minutes or seconds, his consciousness quickly returned.
His first feeling was clarity.
The heaviness in his head was gone.
Faded memories suddenly became sharp again, as if dust had been wiped away.
To test his improvement, he hurried back to his seat and picked up the Criminal Law textbook.
Ignoring Wu Wei’s chatter, he began reading.
Three pages later, he stopped and tried to recall what he had just read.
“Negligent crime refers to a situation where a person should foresee that their actions may cause harmful consequences to society, but fails to foresee them due to carelessness, or has foreseen them but trusts that they can be avoided…”
Five minutes later, the result was clear.
He had not reached photographic memory.
But compared to before, his improvement was dramatic.
After one read, he could form a clear outline in his mind.
After three reads, he could fully memorize it.
Previously, it took him seven or eight readings just to retain a vague impression.
Now, his memory had undergone a complete transformation.
With this ability, he was confident he could memorize the Rules of Evidence in less than a week.
Luo Fei was very satisfied.
This enhanced memory would make learning professional knowledge far easier—from policing fundamentals to criminal investigation techniques, forensic trace analysis, and criminal psychology.
All of it—would now become significantly easier.
