  Chapter 19 Tempered by Ice and Fire
  On the empty ice lake, Li Xun fished alone.

  The wind and snow just now were so heavy that many people may not dare to come out so quickly.

  The ice was much thicker, and he spent more energy than usual before he cut through the ice and dug out the hole.

  The good news is that the temperature at this moment is much lower than before. Given the cold tendency of red-scaled fish, it must be easier to take the bait now.

  Sure enough, within five minutes this time, I caught a six-pound red-scaled fish.

  "Big profit!" Li Xun looked happy and worked harder.

  At the same time, a fist-sized dragonfly-shaped drone flew into the cedar forest on the edge of the ice lake and filmed Li Xun from a distance.

  The person controlling the drone was none other than secret police officer Wu Yan. She was sitting on the window of the circulation center, secretly opening a monitoring screen and taking a look from time to time.

  Originally, it was impossible for drones to be deployed in a snowstorm. This was also true. She did not arrange for drones to track Li Xun at the beginning.

  She hesitated for a long time, without asking her superiors for instructions, and quietly started her drone, setting it to go to Li Xun's address to monitor the situation as soon as the wind and snow outside stopped.

  "This is the first time I've met someone with such a deep secret. It's a pity to let him go like this. Maybe my ability promotion came from him." Wuyan mentally found a reason for himself.

  But Wuyan didn't expect that after Li Xun was attacked by the G23 mine next door, he began to use the probability system to check the safety around him from time to time.

  What is the probability that there are threatening things around you? What is the probability of being targeted? Is there any risk of harm?

  Statements like this would be verified every once in a while.

  "The probability that Li Xun is being stared at with the help of some kind of tool is..." "

  ...100%."

  ​​Suddenly, hearing the feedback from the system, Li Xun frowned slightly. He remained calm and lowered his fishing rod as usual. In his mind, he quickly recognized the danger.

  After confirming that there is no danger for the time being, start using the probability system to investigate.

  After several verifications, it was determined that it was in his five o'clock direction, at an oblique angle of 20, and six to seven hundred meters away from him.

  "Hidden in that fir forest, are drones? Telescopes? Surveillance cameras?"

  "From Wu Qingshan? Chen Shu? The Fuel Energy Society? The AI ​​​​governing system..."

  Li Xun guessed several objects in a row, and unexpectedly None of them matched.

  After thinking about it, he changed his statement:

  "The probability that the monitor is someone he has met before is..." "

  ...100%."

  ​​Li Xun frowned, who else? No, maybe the surveillance started today, after all, we didn’t encounter him yesterday.

  "The probability of seeing it today is..."

  "...100%."

  ​​At this time, Li Xun's target was greatly reduced.

  After checking one by one, they quickly identified the target, who turned out to be the window lady of the circulation center.

  When guessing the purpose, things like sex, wealth, boredom, red-scaled fish, etc. all failed to match.

  The most appropriate one is the relatively broad scope of temporary inspiration.

  Li Xun ignored it. If the drone was always there to monitor him, it would be destined to destroy this place.

  Because in more than thirty minutes, a more violent snowstorm will come.

  As for the window girl, Li Xun has experienced that she is still a person with extraordinary abilities, and he can't do anything to her now.

  "When I awaken my abilities, I will settle the score with you." Li Xun said secretly.

  Soon, he concentrated and caught three more fish.

  At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and signs of a snowstorm coming again appeared. Suddenly, the big dragonfly-like drone flew out of the fir forest. It seemed that it had recognized the signs of wind and snow and was preparing to return to the center of the town to take shelter.

  "Originally I wanted you to destroy yourself, but I didn't expect it to be clever. However, how can I let you go back easily?"

  Upon seeing this, Li Xun changed his mind and had an idea in his mind.

  "In about four minutes, the blizzard will come. In order to return as soon as possible, the drone will most likely not make any detours. In other words, when the drone approaches and moves away from me, I can hit it behind. Avoid its surveillance."

  After repeatedly reviewing the plan using the probability system, he picked out ice cubes of appropriate size and weight while packing up his fishing tools.

  "Let's just seize it. This model is very rare in Qifeng Town. It is worth 70,000 to 80,000 citizen points, or even higher."

  In this environment, the signal is unstable, and the drone has absolutely no way to transmit the signal back. The probability The system has given confirmation.

  At this time, the Dragonfly drone flew past Li Xun and entered a position where Li Xun could not be monitored.

  Li Xun had already made adjustments to his posture, predicted the route, and adjusted his posture with the help of the breathing rhythm of the Burning Energy Technique.

  Waiting for the best throwing route given by the system to appear, he bent his body like a slingshot, lifted his strength from the ground, used his waist and abdomen as the axis, and with a sudden movement, he threw the ice cube with great ease.

  A large parabola was drawn, and the ice cube arrived in advance of the route where the Dragonfly drone appeared.

  With a click, the drone flapped around a few times like a bird with broken wings and fell to the ground.

  "Well, your throwing skills are pretty good too. If you practice more, you can probably earn probability points." Li Xun couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he had done well.

  After all, he has a physique that is close to the limit of the second stage of the Burning Energy Technique. His body's movement coordination is already good, and with the assistance of the probability system, it is not difficult to hit the target.

  ...

  "Brother Xun, you came back just in time. As soon as we entered the door, the wind and snow started to pick up!"

  Fang Liujiu was waiting for Li Xun at the door. When he saw him, he couldn't hold back anymore and started to ask Li Xun: "Brother Xun, how did you make Fengxue stop for you?"

  It was still struggling with how Li Xun could make Fengxue stop on time.

  Li Xun didn't answer, and threw the drone to Fang Liujiu with his backhand, saying, "Can you hack this drone and make it controlled by you?"

  Fang Liujiu didn't have a mechanical arm, so he touched it with his head. In an instant, its body shook slightly and it firmly caught the drone.

  "It seems that there is knowledge in this area, let me try."

  In fact, Li Xun used the probability system to verify that Fang Liujiu has this ability.

  "I want to eat fish now, practice, don't disturb me."

  Li Xun quickly dealt with the four red-scaled fish, took a big bite of meat, and ran to the ground at the door, braving the increasingly fierce wind and snow, and put on the energy-burning auxiliary The movement started slowly.

  Probability system certification, sufficient high-quality fire food + extreme ice and snow environment is the best combination for tempering burning energy.

  At this moment, Li Xun also entered an excellent training rhythm. The cold air was inhaled into his body and blended with the fire nature of the red-scaled fish to continuously refine the potential in his body.

  The probability of awakening A-level and S-level abilities continues to rise.

  Until Li Xun monitored the slight increase in the extinguishing rate of divine fire seeds, he realized that the supply of this mouthful of meat had reached its limit, so he went back to take another big bite and continued to practice.

  In this way, with the help of the precise adjustment of the probability system, after eating the four red-scaled fish, Li Xun's S-level comprehensive awakening rate increased significantly, from 0.00342% to 0.18%, an increase of nearly 50 times.

  It is only a small part away from the usage range of one-star probability points.

  The reason why it can rise so much is mainly because the base is small.

  If it is someone else, there is no probability point, so what if it rises to 5%?
  As for the rest of the progress, Li Xun was confident that it would be enough to use the Ice and Fire Tempering Technique twice more and raise the limit of the second stage of the Burning Energy Technique to 100%.

  After all, there is a probability system, and the cultivation efficiency is naturally far higher than that of ordinary people.

  The 100% limit of the second stage of the Burning Energy Technique is also the standard for the strongest control in his mind.
