Chapter 30

"It's impossible, humans can't jump that high." Wang Iron Bull was shocked, standing dumbfounded as if he was looking at a monster when he gazed at Qin Yan.

"It's my turn to attack now, you serve." Qin Yan didn't care about Wang Iron Bull's feelings and tossed the ball to him without hesitation.

However, Wang Iron Bull was still in a daze from the shock earlier and didn't even reach out to catch the basketball thrown by Qin Yan. With a thud, the ball hit Wang Iron Bull's bewildered face and then dropped to the ground, bouncing away.

"Hey, are you going to play or not?" Qin Yan impatiently exclaimed. Wang Iron Bull snapped out of his trance, quickly picked up the ball and passed it back to Qin Yan. At this moment, he looked completely lost and confused, like a different person compared to before.

"It's just losing a game, nothing more. It's not like it's the end of the world," Qin Yan said with a hint of disdain. He just wanted to end this farce quickly and decided to stick to the strategy of breaking through to score, dribbling past Wang Iron Bull from the left side. Wang Iron Bull had completely lost his fighting spirit, his eyes vacant, muttering incomprehensible words, making no attempt to defend. Once again, Qin Yan smoothly scored a point.

"Now it's four to zero!" the referee announced loudly. Seeing the one-sided nature of the game, the audience on the sidelines felt a bit bored. They had thought Wang Iron Bull, with his imposing appearance, would put up a fight, but he had given up so quickly.

"Last shot, let's finish this quickly." Qin Yan looked at the completely defeated Wang Iron Bull, dribbled past him from the left side, and approached the basket. This time, he wanted to add some flair. With a powerful push off the ground, he leaped high, with his feet nearly one and a half meters off the ground, soaring as if propelled by a rocket, his head reaching over twenty centimeters above the rim.

"That's it." Qin Yan stared at the basket below his line of sight, gripping the ball tightly and forcefully slamming it into the center of the hoop. The ball made a thud as it was forcefully dunked through the basket, landing on the ground.

There was a moment of silence, followed by a burst of enthusiastic cheers. After all, such a superhuman violent dunk was a rare sight. Some girls, impressed by Qin Yan's skill and strength, began to flutter their eyelashes, thinking about how to get closer to him and befriend him.

"What about the bet we made earlier?" Qin Yan looked relaxed as he glanced at Wang Iron Bull, who seemed lifeless. Wang Iron Bull, with a dead look on his face, seemed to be lost in his own world, muttering, "It's impossible, it's impossible!"

"Forget it, let's not bother with him. He seems to have lost his mind from losing," Lin Shiqi, who had been watching from the sidelines, walked over to Qin Yan with a playful smile, wrapping her arm around his, "Let's go, I've had enough of this."

Qin Yan nodded, then looked at Wang Iron Bull and said, "Even if you don't say anything, it's clear you lost. Our previous matters are settled now. Don't bother me again."

Wang Iron Bull's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he had a revelation, and he exclaimed, "Ah, I know! You must have taken some drug, a miracle drug that made you so powerful!"

"A miracle drug? Are you out of your mind from losing?" Qin Yan looked at Wang Iron Bull with confusion.

Wang Iron Bull burst into laughter, pointing at Qin Yan with his finger, "Haha, you think you've won? You're mistaken. You can't beat me. I can also get my hands on a miracle drug. Just wait, once I have it, I'll show you!"

"You definitely need medication, but not a miracle drug, it's for mental illness." Lin Shiqi couldn't help but speak up, looking disdainfully at Wang Iron Bull. When Wang Iron Bull was met with such a look, he was instantly provoked and exclaimed, "Don't believe me? I'm not afraid to tell you. I know a great sorcerer outside of school. He can summon fire and thunder at will, and he can also concoct a divine medicine that grants people god-like powers. Once I take this divine medicine, I'll gain divine strength, and then dealing with you will be as easy as squashing an ant. Just wait, I'm going to get that divine medicine."

Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi were both stunned. They exchanged a glance, realizing that the master Wang Iron Bull mentioned was likely a superhuman. Qin Yan asked, "Who is this master you're talking about, and where is he now?"

"Haha? You want to know, don't you? I'm not telling you. Haha, I won't tell you..." Wang Iron Bull laughed maniacally, and his companion thought he had truly lost it. They quickly supported his arms and hurriedly led him away from the court.

"Let's go too." Lin Shiqi signaled to Qin Yan, and the two quickly left the court, heading to a secluded and deserted place.

"Lucky break, it seems like this Wang Iron Bull is the person I've been looking for!" Lin Shiqi was overjoyed. She hadn't been successful in gathering information many times before, but this time it was surprisingly smooth.

"What's your plan?" Qin Yan asked.

"It's simple. Wang Iron Bull just said he's going to find that master outside to get the divine medicine. If we wait for him at the school gate and then follow him, we can find the master he mentioned," Lin Shiqi explained.

"Do you need my help?"

"Of course, it's always better to have an extra person," Lin Shiqi replied.

Qin Yan wasn't entirely comfortable with Lin Shiqi going alone, so he said, "Alright, wait for me outside. I'll join you in a bit."

Later, the two separated. Qin Yan found a teacher, claiming he wasn't feeling well and asked for half a day off, skipping the afternoon classes. Since Qin Yan had a history of health issues, the teacher didn't suspect anything and approved his request immediately.

Half an hour later, in a red car parked outside the school, Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi, who had already had lunch, sat inside, taking turns watching the flow of people towards the school gate. About fifteen minutes later, their target appeared.

Wang Iron Bull emerged from the school gate, carrying a black briefcase, and hurriedly walked out onto the street. He stood on the roadside, looking around as if waiting for something. After about ten minutes, a black car approached from a distance, stopped next to Wang Iron Bull, and he opened the car door, got in, and the car drove off.

"Gotcha." Lin Shiqi's eyes lit up, and she immediately perked up, driving the red car to discreetly follow the black car.

As Qin Yan watched the black car in the distance, a sense of unease crept over him. He said, "If that guy Wang Iron Bull is really going to meet that so-called master who is a superhuman and part of an external superhuman organization, following him like this might lead us to their headquarters."

Lin Shiqi found Qin Yan's words reasonable, "That's actually a good thing. I've never seen what the headquarters of an external superhuman organization looks like."

Qin Yan, more cautious than Lin Shiqi, said, "No, it's too risky. If we encounter a group of dangerous criminals, entering their territory without warning could be very dangerous."

"What should we do then? This is the first time I've found a lead on another superhuman organization. Should we let this great opportunity slip away?"

"Let's gather intelligence this time only. Let's try to avoid contact and conflict with others as much as possible. If things don't feel right, we'll leave immediately."

"Alright, let's go with that plan."
