SRGA Chapter 143
"Ding, golden treasure chest unlocked."
"Congratulations, host, for obtaining god-level olfactory perception," the system's voice echoed in Lin Tian's mind.
"Wife, I'll go take a shower and practice first. I promise you, I'll definitely retrieve that bracelet, okay?" Lin Tian said.
Luo Bingning nodded. "Hmm, okay."
Lin Tian returned to his bedroom. He felt a strange itchiness in his nose, as if the cells inside were undergoing significant changes.
"System, thank you so much. This skill is really amazing," Lin Tian expressed his gratitude in his mind.
Becoming a grandmaster of martial arts had enhanced his physical abilities, including his sense of smell, but only to a limited extent. Compared to many animals, human sense of smell was quite poor.
Now, with god-level olfactory perception, Lin Tian estimated that his sense of smell might even rival that of the most powerful animals.
Soon, Lin Tian detected several different scents in the room. He could smell the scents left by Fang Hejun and his team, as well as the scent of the female spy who had entered his room.
His sense of smell continued to improve. With enhanced olfactory perception, Lin Tian could discern the timing of when each scent was left and could even track the movement trajectory of the person based on residual scents.
The enhancement was still ongoing. Lin Tian found that he could lock onto a specific scent.
He detected the scent of the spy outside the door, as well as when she entered and left the neighborhood.
"So powerful. With this ability, I could excel in criminal investigation," Lin Tian thought to himself, rubbing his nose vigorously.
The enhancement finally ended. Lin Tian estimated that his sense of smell was now even stronger than a dog's.
After showering, Lin Tian came out. Luo Bingning, who usually spent her time watching TV dramas after showering, was sitting on the balcony lost in thought, tears still glistening in her eyes.
"Why aren't you practicing, Lin Tian?" Luo Bingning blinked, puzzled.
Lin Tian sighed softly. "I'm not in the mood for practice right now. Also, I found a lead. I'm going out to investigate later."
"Don't cry at home. Who knows, maybe I'll retrieve our belongings tonight," Lin Tian comforted.
Luo Bingning's eyes lit up. "Did you find an important clue?"
Lin Tian nodded. "I know a bit about hacking, and I found something. I'm going to check it out."
A smile appeared on Luo Bingning's face.
Previously, Lin Tian had mentioned understanding a bit about feng shui, and indeed, when Lin Tian went to Fuzhou, the typhoon changed its direction towards Dongying Country.
"Come back soon. Be careful," Luo Bingning said, hopeful yet slightly worried.
"If anyone needs to be careful, it's the person I'm going to find. Don't worry, I'll be fine," Lin Tian reassured with a light smile.
Without using his own car, Lin Tian hailed a taxi.
An hour later, the taxi arrived at the urban village.
Lin Tian naturally smelled the scent of the female spy who had been here before.
"Master, go in this direction," Lin Tian instructed the driver.
The spy had tried to evade detection by changing cars multiple times, but it was futile against Lin Tian's god-level olfactory perception.
Through his sense of smell, Lin Tian could clearly track the spy's movements, even to the extent of knowing that she was currently in a hotel nearby.
Entering the hotel, Lin Tian quickly reached the floor where the female spy was staying.
With a swoosh, Lin Tian heard the sound of running water from the room. The spy was taking a shower.
Lin Tian pressed his hand against the door, using his internal force to silently unlock it. He pushed the door open and entered the room.
On the sofa was an LV backpack. Lin Tian sat down and opened the backpack, finding the jade bracelet along with the other stolen jewelry belonging to Luo Bingning.
The jade bracelet was worth tens of thousands, while the rest of the stolen jewelry, when combined, was worth ten times more than the bracelet.
Several minutes later, the sound of water stopped in the bathroom.
The female spy emerged wrapped in a bath towel.
"You—" Her pupils contracted when she saw Lin Tian. She was extremely cautious, yet Lin Tian still managed to track her down.
"Should I call you Xiao Shima or Xia Xinyun?" Lin Tian asked calmly.
With his superhuman olfactory perception, he knew there was no poison in her mouth, and she couldn't possibly be contemplating suicide at this moment.
"Lin Jun, it's up to you," she replied coyly. "The night is long, shouldn't we do something else?"
Her bath towel slipped off her body.
Lin Tian stared without turning away, unaffected by her seduction. Xiao Shima was quite attractive, with an impressive figure.
"The night is indeed long. As a martial artist, it's reasonable for me to use some interrogation techniques, right? I'll give you a proper demonstration later," Lin Tian said with a cruel smile.
He had no interest in getting involved with Xiao Shima; it would be disadvantageous for him, considering his status as a virgin.
Xiao Shima frowned inwardly. Her attempt at seduction failed, and she knew it would be very difficult to escape from Lin Tian's grasp.
Quietly, she put on her clothes.
"I'm curious how you managed to track me. Even with surveillance, it's impossible to trace me," Xiao Shima said, staring at Lin Tian.
Suddenly, her expression changed. She looked at her bag. Could there be a tracker hidden among the items she took?
"Xiao Shima, why did you plant bugs in my place? What were you looking for in our house?" Lin Tian asked calmly.
Xiao Shima tried to think of a way to escape. "I asked first," she said.
Lin Tian acted swiftly, instantly sealing Xiao Shima's acupoints. "You can't tell the difference between big and small tasks. You made my wife cry, so now you'll experience the pain of my Bone-breaking Technique."
He coldly executed the Bone-breaking Technique. As a grandmaster of martial arts, Lin Tian was proficient in various techniques, including Bone-breaking.
Xiao Shima's eyes widened in agony. She tried to scream, but with her acupoints sealed, she couldn't make a sound. In a short time, she was drenched in cold sweat, her face pale as a sheet.
"I found the stolen items, Ice, you can sleep tight now. I'll be home later after finishing up here," Lin Tian messaged Luo Bingning.
He also sent photos of the bracelet and other items he recovered.
Back at home, Luo Bingning hadn't gone to bed yet. She was overjoyed to receive Lin Tian's message, her forehead, previously marked with a black iron treasure chest, now turned into a bronze one.
"Honey, love you to the moon and back," she blushed as she typed out the message.
She hesitated for a moment but ultimately sent it.
