With Morin's physique and intelligence, doing things like finding evidence against a certain drug lord or gang in this spy world was ridiculously easy.
As for why Morin did things that his superior, Chris, found so strange and random...
The time he spent living it up with the drug dealer's money was because Morin found that gray income also had a lot of limitations, which made him a little upset, so he went and splurged to vent.
Of course, Morin wasn't going to let the drug lord go. So, while he hinted that the drug lord should pay a "protection fee," he also immediately arrested him, flipping so quickly that the drug lord didn't even have time to react, and even wondered if the money he gave was fake.
But, as a result, that money was not counted toward his experience points. This was very annoying!
So Morin took it and went on a revenge-fueled spending spree in Dubai.
Morin tried several experiments later and found that even gray income seemed to have a certain set of principles.
He had to honor the agreement he made when he received the money for it to be counted in his experience points!
Morin had a lot of complaints about this. It's gray income, how can it still have morals? Why should I have morals for a drug lord? It's only right to take their money and then turn on them!
But the system was obviously a 'no-fun-guy' and didn't have a heart, so it didn't budge on Morin's reasoning.
Morin continued his experiments. In another operation, Morin deliberately brought a team member with him.
To avoid revealing his true strength, he deliberately acted as if he had the same physical abilities as a normal human. However, the result was... after Morin and the drug lord "made a deal," his team member did nothing and just watched the drug lord run away!
In the end, Morin had no choice but to step in and capture the drug lord himself!
When Morin asked him about it afterward, the team member gave a well-reasoned and confident response: "You're the famous Morin! I trust you to know what you're doing. I just need to follow your lead!"
Morin was speechless. After that, he gave up on this method. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that first, he couldn't tell the team member he was going to let the drug lord run away and then have them catch him.
This would also be invalidated because it involved "intentional guidance" from him.
Second, most team members would, like the previous one, mistakenly believe his actions had a "deeper meaning" and wouldn't try to catch the person.
Third... even if the team member wanted to catch the person, it would be almost impossible for one person to do it without Morin's help.
If Morin got involved, it would be a "breach of contract," and the gray income would be invalidated.
So, Morin gave up on having team members and returned to his solo mode. Since these tricks weren't working, Morin decided to follow his original plan.
First, he was going to get involved in major events, such as a nuclear crisis or a leak of confidential lists. Then, he would make deals with the protagonists or antagonists to earn a huge gray income!
After all, with the protagonists' abilities, they would eventually get the item back according to the original plot. If he also got involved as an insider, wouldn't it be even simpler?
Thinking of this, Morin looked at his interface. The Mechanic interface only had ten more experience points, which Morin earned a few times when he had to play the part of a mechanic for a mission.
He hadn't had much of a chance since, so there wasn't much change. But the IRS Employee interface was different.
[IRS Employee - Intermediate (200/1000)
Title Bonus:
[Physique] - 110 (You need a strong physique to subdue tax evaders) [Intelligence] - 110 (You need sufficient intelligence to understand all methods of finding tax evaders)
[Intermediate Tax Law Mastery] (A craftsman must first sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well)
[Intermediate Spy Skills Mastery] (Sometimes, you need these to find enough evidence when dealing with a special kind of tax evader!)
[Intermediate Weapon Handling Skills Mastery] (As an IRS employee, this is a skill you must master!)]
As for Morin's own interface, there were no major changes, except for [Physique] and [Intelligence], which each increased by 100 points.
Now that he had his vacation, Morin decided to start his plan. Over the past year, he had successfully spread his network of connections. If a person is willing to spend money, they will definitely have a lot of "friends."
As for how reliable these "friends" are... as long as there is money, they are very reliable! Morin used money and a certain amount of intimidation to build a network of "friends" like this, mainly to get useful information from them.
For example, right now...
"I found you..." Morin said, looking at an email he had received on his computer, smiling. "Ethan Hunt!"
...
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
Morin, wearing a suit, entered the consulate with an impeccable posture and gait. Of course, Morin wasn't using his real face.
On the way, he had ambushed a person who was going to be at this party and used a special machine to make a mask and applied a voice modulator, achieving a nearly perfect disguise.
As for where he got the machine to make the mask and the voice modulator... What's a little secret to the CIA?
Can't the IRS just audit them and get whatever they want?
Of course, the IRS and the CIA weren't at each other's throats. They could exchange these small devices as a mutually beneficial trade.
For example, the IRS wouldn't audit the CIA, and the CIA would give them some small devices in return. (IRS: "This is definitely not a threat; it's just a normal gift from the CIA!")
What's more, the IRS special agent department wasn't a department of idle slackers. In a way, they were even more powerful than the CIA!
Some of the equipment Morin had was even more advanced than what the CIA had!
...
"Senator, what do you think of the opera?" the deputy consul asked.
"Hmm... it's quite boring," a white-haired but energetic old man replied after a moment of thought.
At this moment, Morin was taking a glass of wine from a tray held by a waiter. He had deliberately sharpened his hearing and heard the conversation in the distance.
Normally, Morin would have chosen to slightly reduce his hearing because having such good hearing would lead to too many useless and chaotic sounds.
Although his improved brainpower from the increase in his [Intelligence] meant he could process this information instantly, Morin was too lazy to receive and process it.
What could be reused was not garbage.
Real garbage was completely useless and had no value, and those useless sounds belonged to this category.
