Chapter 104 - Revisiting the Old Place
Chapter 104: Revisiting the Old Place
After the shooting team left, only the three from the Chen family and the three from the enrollment office of Beijing University were left in the living room.
“Why aren’t you leaving?” Chen Yu asked.
“We’re not with them.” The person in charge of Beijing University took out an invitation letter from his briefcase and handed it over. “As this year’s outstanding freshman, on behalf of Beijing University, I invite you to participate in the top scorer trial on July 15th.”
“What is that?” Chen Yu took the invitation letter and looked left and right.
“You can understand it as the welfare of Beijing University. Only the top scorers or outstanding freshmen from various cities have the opportunity to participate. You will be organized to enter the alien land of the Lola Mountain for free and receive a month-long special training there.”
“Alien land of the Lola Mountain?” Chen Siwen, who was at the side, was surprised. “Is it that alien land with the highest entry fee in the country? I heard that the environment inside is special. As long as you enter, you will automatically gain strength?”
“Yes.” The person in charge of Beijing University nodded. “Every year, the school will organize top-notch new students to enter. Those who enter the first level and reach Level 1.4 after the special training is everywhere.”
“Is that so…” Chen Yu suddenly understood. “Then I won’t go.”
“Huh?”
“I won’t go. Give the quota to someone else.”
“Chen Yu, Why won’t you go?” Chen Siwen was in disbelief. “What a great opportunity!”
“Student Chen Yu, you might not have realized how rare this special training is.” The person in charge of Beijing University had a serious look on his face. “The world is very big. Qingcheng City is just a small county. Even though you got the top scorer, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have any competitors. Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will fall back. If you advance too slowly, you will also fall back! You are also the top scorer. If you don’t participate in the special training, you will fall behind!”
“If you fall behind, you will be beaten!” Chen Yu nodded. “What you said makes sense.”
“So…”
“So you still don’t understand me. I am a masochist. I especially like being beaten. I’m not going.”
“Chen Yu! Is there something wrong with you today?” Chen Siwen stamped her feet anxiously.
“Don’t talk. Who is the head of our household?” Chen Yu said calmly.
“Our mother…”
“Oh, it’s our mother. I thought it was me.” Chen Yu changed the topic. “Then what’s your surname?”
“My surname is Chen.”
“Isn’t it still following my surname? If you want to listen to me, then don’t go. If you say no, then don’t go.” Chen Yu handed the invitation back and immediately broke his hip. “Please find someone else. It’s already good enough that I can enter the school on time.”
“…Student Chen Yu, you’re too conceited. You’re only at 0.7… You’ll regret it.”
“…Yes, I’ll regret it now. Give me the invitation.”
“You scared me.” The person in charge was stunned, then he heaved a sigh of relief and handed the invitation to Chen Yu. “I thought you really…”
“I really won’t go. I just feel like this thing can be sold for money.”
“…Goodbye!”
Bang!
After closing the door, the three people from the Beijing University student recruitment office left in a huff.
“Chen Yu!” Chen Siwen was on the verge of tears. “You… What do you want…”
Chen Yu: “Don’t talk.”
Chen Siwen: “…”
Chen Yu: “Kiss me.”
“Go to hell!”
…
That night, after sending his family away, Chen Yu returned to his bedroom and continued his cultivation.
He injected the black oil into his body.
[Infected by an unknown liquid: Strength +2530]
[Infected by an unknown liquid: Strength +2609]
[Infected: Health +40; Stamina +63; Immunity +35; Cell Cancer -72…]
Apart from ‘reducing’ strength, this oil would also cause ‘damage’ to the body
However, without a ‘System’ panel in a novel or game, Chen Yu did not know what impact those messy numbers would have on him.
In short… It did not matter if it was positive growth.
Capitalists would not care about the business of a company that made money.
That was something that only entrepreneurs were troubled about…
It was close to five o’clock in the morning, and the sky was already beginning to brighten.
A bucket of black oil had been ‘scraped’ clean by Chen Yu.
His strength level had also risen from 0.7 to 1.1.
In just a few short hours, he had broken through 0.4. He could definitely apply for the Guinness Book of Records.
Clang–
After throwing away the empty bottle, Chen Yu stood up and quietly felt the rapidly rotating dantian in his body. His mood was as happy as seeing a girl.
“A Level 1.1 strength, coupled with my Level 1.5 constitution, I can at least fight a Level 2 martial artist fifty-fifty…”
Putting away the syringe, he took out his phone and looked at the time. He decided to lie down on the bed and sleep for a while before his family woke up.
When a person’s spirit reached a certain level, they would go crazy.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Because he was not sleepy, Chen Yu lay on the bed and tossed and turned for half an hour, but he still could not fall asleep.
Sitting up, he was a little frustrated.
Admittedly, the ‘curse’ had helped him a lot. It was his golden finger. But it had also brought him a lot of trouble in his life.
For example, his daily sleep…
After sitting at the head of the bed and thinking for a long time, Chen Yu decided to make a sleep aid machine, once and for all.
After getting out of bed, he found his sneakers, pulled out two shoelaces, tied them together, and hung them on the ceiling.
Then, he took out three heavy dumbbell pieces, tied them to the shoelaces, and left a buckle.
“Hmm…”
Standing by the bed, he calculated for a moment, and after confirming that there was no mistake, Chen Yu scurried onto the bed, lying face down on the pillow, and gently pulled down the buckle of the shoelaces.
Pu…
The buckle was unbuttoned.
Whoosh– Whoosh– Whoosh–
The three stacked dumbbells suddenly fell down. After a second of acceleration, they smashed heavily on the back of Chen Yu’s head.
Dong!
[Injured: Qi and Blood +424]
“…”
“…Zzz…”
Chen Yu fell asleep.
He had a satisfied expression on his face…
…
On the same day, 10 am.
After breakfast, Chen Yu greeted his family members before leaving the house and walking towards the Public Security Bureau.
Along the way, many citizens recognized Chen Yu and greeted him one after another.
Each student even came over to take a group photo and ask for an autograph.
As the number of ‘fans’ for the group photo increased, Chen Yu became impatient and simply put on a mask.
After more than ten minutes, he arrived at the Public Security Bureau and swaggered into the main door.
Just as he entered the door, he was blocked by a person.
“You are Chen Yu.”
“Eh? Officer Wang? You recognize me even though I’m wearing a mask?”
“Why are you here again?” Officer Wang frowned.
“Is the police still serving food?”
Officer Wang: “…No.”
“Oh, I don’t want to eat either.” Chen Yu turned sideways and barged in.
“Don’t move. The police station is not a place to enter casually.”
“Wasn’t it rather casual the day before yesterday?”
“You f*cking…” Officer Wang nearly cursed. “It’s not casual today.”
“When are you going to be casual?”
“…Chen Yu, you’re going to be arrested soon.”
“Are you going to give me food?”
“…” Officer Wang’s blood pressure gradually rose as he took out the handcuffs from his lower back.
“Don’t move!” Chen Yu jumped back and distanced himself. “I’m here today because I have something important to do.”
“What is it?”
“I’m here to find Dormammu to negotiate…”
