Chapter 970: A Secret GuestTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Luo Shen Cultivation College, Luo City. In the species research specialization laboratory, there was the clicking of a mouse and the tapping of a keyboard. There were even sounds of gunshots.
“Young lady, young lady, do you want to have an online affair?” Chen Zuan skilfully controlled his character to jump behind a girl. The girl spoke and sang well…
He heard her voice through his earphones. “If you give me a Cla.s.s Three armor, I will have an online affair with you.”
Chen Zuan sat in front of the computer and remained silent for a long time. “I have lived for 19 years, but this is the first time I have been asked to take off my clothes by a girl. Are you making me take off the Cla.s.s Three armor I have just obtained…”
Then, Chen Zuan picked up a grenade and perished together with the girl.
Cheng Qiuqiao laughed and slapped the table. The computer in the laboratory started to give off a buzzing sound. This computer was configured very well. It displayed game graphics well. But the computer was supposed to be used to handle data. It was not being used in the manner that it was created for.
Chen Zuan expressionlessly looked at Cheng Qiuqiao. “What’s so funny?”
“Do you know what ‘fatelocked’ means?”Cheng Qiuqiao asked with a serious expression on his face.
Chen Zuan was confused.
“You are now in a fatelocked situation,” said Cheng Qiuqiao with a serious tone. “Your fate with others has been locked up. There are no more changes.”
Chen Zuan was rendered speechless.
Chen Zuan was very bored during this period. He dragged Cheng Qiuqiao to play games with him. He also pursued online affairs. But these online affairs had become the site of a large-scale accident.
The pretty young women online all uploaded captivating pictures, but when their actual appearances were revealed, they were either fake pictures or men.
Since the time he had encountered a young lady who turned out to be a man, Cheng Qiuqiao told Chen Zuan that if he could not report this as an industrial injury, he would no longer accompany Chen Zuan.
In the past, Chen Zuan felt that his university life would be very exciting. The Luo Shen Cultivation College species research specialization was outstanding. He wanted to ride on this trend.
But the person who had raised the standards of the species research specialization had disappeared. Lu Xiaoyu had disappeared as well. It was as if life had suddenly calmed down. It was plain and boring.
“Where did Cao Qingci go?” Chen Zuan curiously looked around the laboratory, but did not see Cao Qingci anywhere.
“She’s probably at the training ground,” said Cheng Qiuqiao. “Recently, she’s given up on researching on time. She has been training her swordplay.”
Chen Zuan stretched. “The Heavenly Network is invincible. There’s no need to train. It’s lonely at the top. Have you realized that quite a few exchange students have come to Luo Shen?”
“Yes. Luo Shen has become a sacred training ground for people overseas. Coming here is like going on a pilgrimage. Once they go back, they can bring honor to their ancestors,” said Cheng Qiuqiao with a smile.
Then, the laboratory fell silent. Chen Zuan said, “I don’t know what happened to Brother Shu… I’m worried about him.”
“I’m not worried about Brother Shu at all,” said Cheng Qiuqiao as he looked at the ceiling. He was very bored. “There’s no need to worry about his safety. I’m worried that the pa.s.sage of time over there is different from that of on Earth. I believe that he will find a way to return, but what shall we do if we are old by then?”
At that moment, Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao’s phones suddenly lit up. They looked at each other and picked up their phones.
Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao were considered extremely strong in the entire Luo City. Thus, they were different from typical students. Zhong Yutang would directly contact them to settle some troublesome affairs.
Chen Zuan unlocked his phone and took a look. “A Pract.i.tioner has kidnapped a villa dealer in Longmen Mountain. Do we really have to go there?”
“There’s definitely a reason behind this.” Cheng Qiuqiao nimbly picked up his sword and walked out. Since Zhong Yutang had notified them, there was definitely a need for them to be there.
The two of them hurriedly headed towards Longmen Mountain. They did not drive there. Instead, they ran along the rooftops of buildings.
When the civilians in Luo City looked up and saw two people jumping on the rooftops, they took out their phones and took pictures. But they did not think that this was strange or new… this was now a common sight.
When the members of the Heavenly Network went on missions, they often disliked the fact that traveling on the ground was very slow. Thus, they would often show off their skills by leaping onto roofs and jumping over walls.
The worlds of ordinary people and Pract.i.tioners started to integrate with one another. Everyone did not think that this was strange.
When they reached the district of villas as instructed, they realized that the entire district had been closed off by the Heavenly Network. Zhong Yutang stood at the entrance and looked at the doc.u.ments that had just been compiled. He looked up and saw Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao. “The dealer is in a stable condition, but some strange things have happened. I want you to prevent any accidents from happening.”
“Strange?” Chen Zuan asked curiously.
“This guy seems to be mentally unsound,” said Zhong Yutang. “But he is shrouded in a veil of mystery. After the dealer was kidnapped, he was not injured. But he was interrogated with questions like what place this is, what kind of people are here, and other very fundamental questions. He did not even realize when the dealer secretly called the police. Now, his phone still has stable connection. We can still hear the sound of the bandit speaking. Our colleague has used a telescope to look at the situation. The phone is on the tea table in front of the bandit, but the bandit does not seem to understand what the phone is for…”
Zhong Yutang pa.s.sed Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao a pair of wireless earphones each and gestured at them to put them out. But the earphones were silent, except for the sound of the bandit walking.
“Which mountain did this strange person materialize from?” Chen Zuan was dumbfounded. “Did someone from the inst.i.tute of mental health awaken again?”
Chen Zuan used the word “again” as the concentration of magical energy had been increasing at an accelerated pace. The current amount of magical energy in the world was four or five times that of in the past. Thus, the rate of progress in training had increased. Even those who could not awaken in the past had awakened.
The inst.i.tute of mental health had become the most badly affected area. In the past, one of the patients had suddenly said that he was a mushroom. While the psychiatrist was doing psychological treatment, the patient actually turned into a mushroom. The psychiatrist almost collapsed.
But Zhong Yutang shook his head. “That doesn’t seem to be the case… earlier, we discovered ma.s.sive waves of energy above Longmen Mountain, but they disappeared. The appearance of this person is likely to have something to do with these waves of energy.”
The waves of energy above the Longmen Mountain had always been unstable. The Heavenly Network had thought that a new remains would appear, but it had not appeared.
There were no remains, but the waves of energy remained unstable. Zhong Yutang and the rest were very nervous. They did not know what was happening.
At that moment, they suddenly heard the bandit talking to himself over the earphones. “Someone is targeting me. If I go back, I will definitely report this to the Lord of Heaven. I will ensure that they are unable to bear the consequences of failure!”
