Chapter 324: 254. Sniping and Wind Speed
“Go to sleep early,” Qing Chen said to Nan Gengchen, “We still have a lot of work to do with these two returns.”
Nan Gengchen was curious, “Brother Chen, what are you going to do?”
“Test an idea in my mind,” Qing Chen thought for a moment, “If I succeed, it means we will be more confident in facing this world.”
After saying this, Qing Chen didn’t return to his room but instead, opened the door and went next door.
The room once occupied by Yanyan.
Nan Gengchen was left alone in the room, somewhat surprised. He thought to himself, wasn’t the girl Yanyan already gone? Why did Brother Chen go to that room, to reminisce about people by looking at objects?
But he didn’t know that the room still held Yanyan’s gravity chamber and a mailing address.
In the cramped, dim room, Qing Chen took off his coat and shoes, stepped into the gravity chamber, and picked up a letter beside the pillow.
Because he was so close to the pillow, Qing Chen could still smell a faint fragrance on it.
It wasn’t strong, resembling more a refreshing pomegranate scent from a certain soap.
Qing Chen opened the letter, but saw on the letter: You should have already realized the rarity of the genetic potion, what you need, I can provide.
“As expected,” Qing Chen had not seen this letter before his last dimension traversal, but now it was here, indicating it was mailed right after their recent conversation.
Huan Yu had already realized, Ice Eye was Liu Dezhu’s boss.
Thus, after Ice Eye retaliated, the opponent immediately began striking back at ‘Boss Liu Dezhu.’
The methods of retaliation were few: poaching, planting spies, then carrying out lethal attacks.
Currently, who are the members of the organization Liu Dezhu belongs to? Publicly, it’s Qing Chen, Liu Dezhu, Nan Gengchen, Yanyan, and a mysterious boss, while in secret, there are Hu Xiaoniu, Zhang Tianzhen, Jiang Xue, and Li Tongyun.
So, whom could Huan Yu poach? Nan Gengchen lacks combat capabilities and has a big figure like Li Yinuo from the Inner World by his side. It seems the most suitable person to poach is the ‘Genetic Warrior Qing Chen,’ who has no one to rely on.
Qing Chen had already proven his combat prowess on Laojun Mountain, with even He Jinqiu personally coming to Los Angeles City to invite him to join Kyushu; how could the mysterious holder of the Devil’s Stamp remain unmoved?
He thought for a while, and finally cut his finger, letting the blood drip onto the letter before writing with a pen, “I can find a way to obtain the genetic potion myself.”
Qing Chen slowly burned the letter.
Soon, another new letter swiftly appeared beside Yanyan’s pillow.
Qing Chen opened the letter, and the other party replied: Since you replied to this letter, it means you are tempted, because you know the sequences 002 and 001 are something the consortium would never release to the market.
At that moment, Qing Chen suddenly realized that Huan Yu might not yet know about his identity in the underground fighting rings, nor that he had become a favored figure beside Chang Qing.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn’t have said such a thing to him.
In the Inner World, even Li Yinuo might not be able to get a quota for the FDE-001 genetic potion, but for Qing Chen, it was already within reach; he just didn’t need it, planning instead to leave it for someone else.
Qing Chen had made a name for himself in the underground fighting rings, but that was ultimately an activity that couldn’t appear on a formal stage and didn’t count as a regulated competition. Federation media also banned it from being broadcasted openly, so his fame was not as great as imagined.
Qing Chen replied, “How will you give me the genetic potion?”
Huan Yu replied, “No need to hurry. First, do something for me as a token of your commitment.”
Qing Chen replied, “What do I need to do? I won’t do anything that goes against my principles.”
Huan Yu replied, “Rest assured, I will contact you again.”
Qing Chen didn’t respond further but simply started to cultivate decisively in the gravity chamber.
Yanyan had been gone for a week, but the force field in the gravity chamber hadn’t changed noticeably.
The girl had said before, she would come back before the gravity chamber disappears, but now it seemed, she wouldn’t be back for a while.
Qing Chen muttered, “Did she know she would get lost, so she gave herself more time?”
…
…
He cultivated until three in the morning before Qing Chen returned to his own home.
Following his nightly routine, he carefully searched through the Memory Palace once more.
The so-called Memory Palace is a technique of memory, used to categorize and organize one’s memories to better retrieve and utilize them.
Opening each door in the Memory Palace revealed memories he had organized.
Not real existing things.
However, while Qing Chen was searching the palace, he was shocked to find that an extra door had appeared in the palatial structure he had already built!
“Strange,” Qing Chen’s consciousness entered that door, only to find himself back in that mysterious world.
The world of the Taboo ACE-011!
Qing Chen looked at the familiar wilderness; even the traces of his previous crawling on the ground were still there.
The pitch-black Ethical, with its 1.4-meter long anti-material sniper rifle, was now quietly placed on the ground.
“So, Ethical is contained within the body, stored right here,” Qing Chen thought contemplatively, “And this place is a natural shooting range!”
Now that he was the new master of Ethical, with just a thought, the gray sky suddenly cleared, no longer covered with dark clouds.
A warm breeze swept across the wilderness, as if heralding spring.
With another thought from Qing Chen, the previously barren wilderness around him suddenly sprouted tens of thousands of trees, transforming the area into a vast tropical rainforest.
