All Gods: I am a master of all professions, who dares to oppose me?

A week later, at the dockside café.

"Woo-"

Not far away, a cruise ship slowly started up, its propellers churning up layers of white waves that shimmered with golden light in the morning sun.

"Ah~An Yi~"

Fang Chang put down his milk tea, leaned back in his chair, and squinted contentedly in the gentle breeze blowing from the sea.

Xu Xi sat casually to one side, though her body was slightly slanted. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that someone was hanging on her arm—Tracy, dressed in a cool and energetic style.

Over the past week, their relationship has progressed rapidly. Perhaps it's because Xu Xi's dual identity is particularly attractive, or perhaps it's because Tracy's naivety and willfulness have touched the old man's long-dormant heart. In any case, the two can't be separated for a moment now.

A little distance away from the three, Detective Shi leaned against the railing on the shore, puffing out a cigarette and gazing at the distant sea, his brow furrowed as if he were deep in thought.

"What are your plans for the future?" Fang Chang asked, his eyes closed, as he took a sip of his milk tea.

"We're going on a round-the-world trip! Hahaha, aren't you envious, Officer Fang?" Before Xu Xi could even speak, Tracy, the accessory next to her, blurted out.

Xu Xi subconsciously patted Tracy's hand that was wrapped around his arm, smiled gently, and said, "We're just going to take a walk."

"On the one hand, it was to find a way to solve my health problems. On the other hand, Tracy also wanted to look around."

"If I get tired of walking in the future, I will settle down somewhere and I will definitely let you know when that happens."

As she spoke, Xu Xi glanced at Tracy again, her eyes full of doting affection. The peaceful and beautiful life she had once dreamed of was now within reach.

“There’s no need to go that far. What’s wrong with Hong Kong Island?” Detective Shi pulled up a chair and sat down casually.

“It’s not that Hong Kong is bad…” Before Xu Xi could finish speaking, Tracy interrupted angrily:

"Hmph! We're going on our honeymoon, don't you understand, you big black face!"

Detective Shi's lips twitched, and his already pale face turned even darker.

“Tracy is right.” Fang Chang stretched leisurely and said, taking sides, “Xiao Shi, not that I’m criticizing you, but a man should have a long-term vision and not always focus on romance and such!”

"When I was your age, there were only two words in my mind. Can you guess what they were?"

Detective Shi clenched his fist, then relaxed it, pretending not to hear Fang Chang's trash talk.

"What is it, Officer Fang?" Tracy was quick-witted and didn't let Fang's words fall flat. Fang nodded in satisfaction, thinking, "She's teachable."

"Ambition!" Fang Zai suddenly sat up as if he had risen from the dead, and said in a loud voice, "There are only two words in my heart: 'ambition.' This is also the only secret to how I became a senior superintendent in my early twenties!"

After speaking, Fang Zai reached out and brushed off non-existent dust from his epaulets, staring solemnly at Detective Shi:

"Ah Shi, have you come to your senses?"

The answer to Fangzai was Detective Shi's coat, which had originally hung on a chair, basking in the morning sun, enjoying its solitude. Now, it was covering Fangzai's face, becoming an accomplice to its owner's "insubordination" and assault on a high-ranking police officer.

"Hahahaha~"

A burst of cheerful laughter was carried further and further away by the sea breeze.

Men's happiness is so simple and naive.

"By the way, what are your plans for the future?" Xu Xi asked.

"The bureau gave me a leave of absence so I can rest for a while." Detective Shi rubbed his wrist, inwardly cursing Fang Chang for being so thick-skinned.

"As for the arrangements..." Fang Chang slumped back in his chair as if his bones had been removed, replying with considerable melancholy, "Let's leave it to fate..."

Including the Source Points gained from defeating Xiongju, I only have 5 experience points left to level up to the next level, reaching level 6 (55/60), but no new events have occurred...

The energy bar for the "Time Travel" button was stuck at about two-thirds of its full length, as if it were broken. According to Fang Chang's guess, he was still about one storyline away from returning home!

But it's been a week already, and there's still no sign of anything happening.

Other systems give out tasks and rewards to help the host grow. This one, from activation until now, hasn't given a single hint; I even had to figure out how to use it myself... What a piece of garbage panel! Ugh!

“Ich bin Schnappi ~das kleine Krokodil~

komm aus Agypten~das liegt direkt am Nil~”

Fang Chang's phone suddenly rang, and the ringtone was a German song, "Schnappi," which perfectly matched his tough-guy persona.

"Hello? Who is it?" Fang Chang asked lazily. The sea breeze was so comfortable that even the ambitious Fang Zai couldn't help but become lazy.

"Um?!"

Hearing the story on the other end of the phone, Fang Chang sat up abruptly with a look of delight. "They've finally arrived!"

After hanging up the phone, Fang Chang noticed that the two people in front of him were staring at him. He smiled mysteriously and said, "I have something to do again!"

Xu Xi and Detective Shi remained silent, waiting for Fang Chang to explain. As for Tracy, she had already run off to the side to take some beautiful selfies.

“A tricky case from the New Territories North Regional Headquarters has been transferred to me.” Fang Chang organized his thoughts and continued, “I don’t know if you’ve heard the news recently, but there’s been a large-scale baby theft case over there.”

“A friend of mine told me that the police station over there is in a real mess.” Detective Shi unconsciously took out a cigarette and lit it.

Xu Xi, on the other hand, had recently become obsessed with Tracy and was also considering retirement, so he wasn't paying much attention to current events. Therefore, he simply remained silent and listened quietly.

"Slurp slurp slurp—" Fang Chang slurped down his milk tea in one gulp and continued, "It was originally just a baby theft, and my colleagues over there were still working hard to solve the case, but yesterday they suddenly discovered something truly bizarre."

"what's up?"

“Yesterday, while my colleagues in the New Territories North Regional Headquarters were having a meeting, an invisible man barged into the police station’s conference room, left a note that read ‘Your son is next,’ and then walked away.”

"Hmm?" Detective Shi exhaled a puff of smoke and asked suspiciously, "An invisible man? A note? Could it be a deception created in advance through some kind of trickery?"

Although the idea of ​​an "invisible man" sounds absurd, based on his years of experience in handling cases, Detective Shi still seriously considered it and tried to find the truth behind the absurd appearance.

“No.” Fang Chang tapped the table and continued, “The information I just received is this: the Invisible Man broke into the conference room, and he wrote the note word by word in front of a police officer. Before leaving, the Invisible Man also kicked over the conference room table.”

"A note written on the spot..." Detective Shi rubbed his temples. "I know of a kind of potion that can slowly develop a photographic image under special conditions. The table can also be interpreted as having been set up with a trap beforehand."

"I understand!" Detective Shi clenched his fist and slammed it into his palm. "The problem lies with that officer who claimed to have seen an invisible man writing!"

"As long as there is an undercover police officer in the meeting room, then all of this makes perfect sense. Any mechanism can be triggered artificially!"

In an instant, Detective Shi felt a burst of inspiration in his mind, and he immediately grasped the blind spot that everyone had overlooked.

"Um..." Fang Chang looked at the spirited Detective Shi, hesitated for a moment, and finally said with a reluctant expression:

"The undercover agent you mentioned is the director of the New Territories North Regional Headquarters."
