This dealt James his second blow of the day, leaving him slumped onto the sofa!
Chapter 550 Going to Indonesia!
Chapter 550 Going to Indonesia!
Operation Asia has failed!
This was like adding insult to injury for James, whose mood was already terrible! James valued the energy meteorite that had crashed on the Indonesian island highly. Detection revealed that the meteorite contained enough energy to revolutionize American technology, putting it decades ahead of other countries! James was indeed very concerned about this meteorite, and therefore dispatched a large force to the island…
Six of the twelve elite ability users, along with 30 red-type ability users, 20 orange-type ability users, 10 yellow-type ability users, and 10 green-type ability users. One hundred special forces soldiers.
A military force of this size could almost instantly seize the island. However, the news that just arrived is that everyone who entered the island was wiped out by the mysterious forces on the island!
"Huh?!" James didn't know exactly what kind of force was hiding on the island. He only knew that he absolutely couldn't abandon this operation! Therefore, he dispatched a portion of the superhumans and special forces from his base, sending the remaining six elite superhumans to lead another team into the island to fight for the meteorite! This time, the military force dispatched was stronger than before! More personnel!
"I will get that meteorite! At all costs!" James said through gritted teeth.
Meanwhile, in Gao Jianfei's den of ghosts.
Gao Jianfei was listening intently to the intelligent program's response.
He asked the AI program if he could learn the special names of these supernatural beings...
The intelligent program quickly replied, "Dear user, the designer of this software, Master Zhuoyue, primarily referenced some martial arts novels or historical figures from Earth as models for learning when designing the Super Ghost Instrument software. As for supernatural abilities... these are not within the scope of the Super Ghost Instrument's learning software. In other words, you can only learn ancient martial arts, or various talents of ghosts in reality, or various skills of historical figures. Supernatural abilities are not within the scope of learning."
You cannot learn superpowers!
"Oh... so I can't learn superpowers." Gao Jianfei was slightly disappointed. However, he was the kind of person who could let go of things easily, and quickly composed himself to inquire about advanced missions.
At this moment, the intelligent program suddenly added, "Dear user, however, this software is highly upgradable and malleable. If you obtain some special energy, you can still modify the software. The modified software will have enhanced learning capabilities, allowing you to learn the supernatural abilities of these supernatural ghosts!"
"Oh? We're going to search for some special energy sources?" Gao Jianfei pondered for a moment. "Let's slow down that for now, there's no rush."
"Okay. Dear user, I will keep an eye on things for you, and I will notify you as soon as I discover an energy source that can modify the software," the intelligent program said solicitously.
“Alright. Now, check these four supernatural ghosts for me to see if they have issued any level 7 missions,” Gao Jianfei said, snapping his fingers.
"As you wish, dear user." As soon as the intelligent program finished speaking, some random electrical waves appeared on the virtual display screen that showed the taskbar.
After the radio waves disappeared, several mission messages appeared on the virtual display screen...
Level 7 mission
Deceased: George
Occupation before death: FBI agent, superhuman at a secret base
Cause of death: **autopsy
The deceased's last wish: Because he was dissatisfied with the heinous atrocities committed by the base leader James, George directly denounced him, and James ordered an autopsy!

150 experience points

Indeed, four level 7 quests emerged from these four supernatural ghosts! That makes sense; they all died violent deaths, so they must harbor resentment. And Naheski, being an orange-level supernatural being, has a much higher level than the other three deceased, therefore, completing his level 7 quests will yield more experience.
"Dear user, there are four level 7 missions, each worth 1010 experience points. Would you like to accept these missions and kill James?" the AI program asked.
"Yes, I'll definitely take these missions," Gao Jianfei said decisively. After a pause, Gao Jianfei began to inquire about the situation at the base from the four superhumans. Meanwhile, the four superhumans loudly denounced James's numerous crimes.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Gao Jianfei… Judging from the current situation, almost all the superhumans who died unnatural deaths were persecuted by James, and they had all been issued Level 7 missions. However, judging from the missions issued by these superhumans, although they were all Level 7 missions, the experience points were not high. The reason was that their own levels were not high. So, I'll ask these superhuman ghosts if there are any very strong superhumans in the base who were killed by James. If so, I'll directly take missions from the ghost of this very strong superhuman, and I'm sure I'll make a fortune!
With that thought in mind, Gao Jianfei directly asked the four ability users, "By the way, I wanted to ask, are there any particularly strong ability users in this base who were killed by James?"
"An exceptionally strong superhuman?"
The four supernatural ghosts were all startled at the same time. Then, they lowered their heads, lost in memories and thought.
Gao Jianfei emphasized, "Tell me about a strong superhuman who was directly killed by James."
After a few minutes, the four of them said almost in unison, "Jonard!"
"Huh? Jonard?" Gao Jianfei choked. "Very strong?"
Sato Kiko quickly explained, "Dear Koga, Jonard was already a veteran of the base before we even entered! He's an extremely powerful ability user. He's... a three-element ability user!"
"A three-elemental ability user?" Gao Jianfei was taken aback. After learning about the different levels in the world of superpowers, Gao Jianfei knew that... superpowered individuals were one in a million; and dual-elemental ability users were one in a hundred! So, what about a three-elemental ability user?
It's probably one in a thousand!
Now, it is clear that Jonard, whom these superhumans are talking about, is undoubtedly a super strong person!
"Dear Xiao Gao, Jonard is not only a triple-elemental ability user, but also possesses abundant mental energy and is highly proficient in using all three abilities. He can continuously strike enemies with fire, ice, and lightning—these three offensive abilities! He is truly an incredibly powerful being!" The ghost of the ability user held Jonard in the highest esteem!
"Uh, according to what you've said, Jonard is indeed very strong, so, he died... died from murder? Died at the hands of James?" Gao Jianfei asked, frowning.
“This… although this matter hasn’t been made public in the base, those who have been in the base for a long time will naturally know the truth… Jonard was indeed, indeed killed by Boss James!” The superhuman ghosts all said in unison.
Gao Jianfei nodded slowly, then said with a sudden realization, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain. I understand that."
After a pause, Gao Jianfei snapped his fingers and said, "Alright, I've found the target I need... Name, Jonard, died in this base! He's a high-level ghost, get him out of here immediately!"
"As you wish, my esteemed user!" the intelligent program's voice said solicitously.
Soon, jumbled radio waves appeared on the virtual display screen. Because the conditions were explained very clearly this time, including the deceased's name, special skills, and the location of death, the intelligent program was able to easily generate the ghost that Gao Jianfei needed.
Half a minute later, the AI program said happily, "Dear user, I have found the ghost named Jonard. He is a level 5 ghost! Would you like to bring him out immediately?"
"Huh? A level 5 ghost? It's actually on the same level as Xie Xun, the Golden-Haired Lion King, and Hong Qigong!" Gao Jianfei was taken aback. "So, how many exorcism points does this level 5 ghost, Jonard, require?"
"10 Exorcism Points!" the AI program announced. "Dear user, you have more than enough Exorcism Points!"
"Alright then!" Gao Jianfei nodded and said.
Soon, the jumbled electrical waves on the virtual display screen completely disappeared, replaced by a data message...
Ghost's name / Ghost level / Nationality / Age at death / Gender / Occupation at death / Special skills at death / Cause of death
Jonard / 5 / USA / 62 / Male / Purple-type ability user / Fire, Ice, Lightning abilities / Murder, body dissected for research /
"Wow! That's impressive!" Upon seeing Jonard's information, Gao Jianfei couldn't help but gasp. "A purple-type ability user is someone who stands at the pinnacle of ability users—a powerful ability user!"
It has now been confirmed that Jonard died at James's hands, which is considered murder. Therefore, the mission he issued must be a level 7 mission with a very high experience value, estimated to be capped at 1000 experience points!
"Piece together Jonard's soul immediately!" Gao Jianfei said decisively.
And so, a progress bar appeared directly overlaid on Jonard's name and information on the virtual display screen.
Jonard is worth 10 Exorcism Points, which means that Gao Jianfei will have to wait 10 days to see Jonard.
"Alright, everything's fine now. The work that needed to be done has been completed. All that's left is for you to rest here for 10 days, and then go on to the missions that Jonard has issued after you see Jonard."
Gao Jianfei settled down and lived comfortably in the ghost's den, with no worries about food or clothing. In addition, he listened to the intelligence gathered by the level 1 ghosts from the outside world and reported this information to Gao Jianfei in a timely manner.
Time passed by, day after day.
Outside the ghost den, there is always a group of people, led by Xiao Wei, a woman from Z country, who surround the open space and monitor it 24 hours a day.
Seven days and seven nights have passed! Gao Jianfei still hasn't appeared! Even Xiao Wei and the other ability users who have been waiting patiently are getting impatient.
Xiao Wei felt a mix of sorrow and joy... She was happy because Gao Jianfei hadn't shown up yet, and it seemed the people at the base had no way to catch him; she was sad because Gao Jianfei had been hiding in that space for several days, and she wondered if he had enough food and water to keep him going!
Xiao Wei silently observed the uneven, cratered ground, thinking to herself, "Father, I've found the man who can avenge you! Don't worry, this man has broken ties with James! I will do anything to persuade him to cooperate with me and take down James!"
…… …… ……
On the other hand, James is really in a real bind!
Originally, James was already extremely frustrated after several days of staking out and waiting, but still hadn't managed to capture Gao Jianfei. However, that wasn't the worst of it! The worst problem was... the troops responsible for attacking that small island in Indonesia had once again been wiped out!
In other words, all 12 of James's most capable superhumans have been killed! Along with hundreds of other superhumans and a large number of special forces soldiers, they have all perished on that mysterious island!
James was heartbroken!
The value of each superhuman to the base and to James himself is absolutely immeasurable in monetary terms!
James almost went berserk!
He could only comfort himself with self-deceptive excuses... "It's okay, as long as I find the energy ore on the island, it will be enough to make up for all the losses! It will allow us to stay decades ahead of Earth in terms of technology. The current losses are really worth it!"
"Attack the island decisively! Arrange the third attack immediately!"
