Chapter 334 Reward
After the Moss Gang members were stopped by the city patrol, Chen Chuan never encountered any obstacles on the road again.
After driving out of Hongsheng District and confirming with Wu Bei that no one was tracking him anymore, he contacted Lao Qi and said, "Lao Qi, your colleague couldn't be rescued. When I got there, there was no one alive."
Old Qi sighed and said, "Her husband died a few years ago, and she has a ten-year-old child at home. She took this private job without telling the company, and we didn't know about it. Otherwise, she could have called you, Brother Chen, earlier, and perhaps this could have been avoided."
Chen Chuan said, "Old Qi, please send me all the abnormal information you have collected over the past few days."
Lao Qi perked up and said, "Okay." He added, "My colleagues at the company have chipped in a commission for this matter. It's not much, and Brother Chen may not mind it, but please accept it."
Chen Chuan said hello.
After a while, Lao Qi sent over the information about ghost stories he had collected in recent days, and along with it came the commission fee.
At this time, another call came in. It was marked as someone from the city patrol. He answered the call, and a moment later, a gentle female voice sounded:
"Reserve Law Enforcement Officer Mr. Chen, we received the message you sent at 2:10 PM. According to your information, the anomaly in the neighborhood has been resolved. I'd like to confirm whether this is true."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Yes, I'm sure the anomaly over there has been resolved."
"The message has been recorded, Mr. Chen, thank you for your cooperation." After saying that, the voice ended the call.
Chen Chuan looked forward. He knew that even if the ghost story was dealt with, the people over there might still have to face other things. The people from the Moss Gang couldn't deal with him, but they could exploit these residents. However, he had done everything he could, and there were some things he couldn't control.
After successfully returning to the Xuangong Building, he first went to wash up, and after coming out, he took out the remains and looked at them. This strange tree is one of the most powerful strange stories he has encountered so far. This remains is also very special. There is almost no similar one in the records. Maybe it will be useful in the future.
He thought about it and put it away properly.
After returning to the sofa, he put his hands on his hips and flipped through the message about anomalies sent by Lao Qi. Lao Qi was very attentive and sorted the anomalies of the past few months according to their importance. Those with greater impact and long-term existence were placed in the first column, and then sorted down according to the duration of existence.
In this way, he only needs to look at those with a larger impact range. After all, it is impossible for him to deal with all the anomalies.
After watching for a while, he set a goal and decided to go and see it when he had time.
He took out the incense burner and the main medicine, lit them, and then entered into a state of meditation while reciting the mantra silently. He woke up from the meditation the next day.
After that, he went out to solve those possible strange stories. After dealing with them, he came back to take medicine and continued to practice. After two days of this, he bought a sparring service and had a sparring session with Hongfu. He repeated this over and over again.
However, not all the stories he encountered were ghost stories. For example, one time he discovered that many residents had gathered there to perform a secret religious ceremony. Since it was not a ghost story, he did not care too much and just left.
Time passed quickly and it was June 29th. After Chen Chuan finished his meditation, he felt that something seemed to have happened today. After thinking for a moment, he remembered and looked at the incubator placed in the corner.
According to Zou Handan, the egg inside will hatch in about 30 days. The time is almost up, but at the moment there is still no movement.
He didn't bother to look at it any more. He picked up the Xuejun Knife and walked towards the private training room, saying as he walked, "Hongfu, I'd like to purchase today's sparring service."
Only after he left did the egg in the incubator shake slightly.
Three hours later, Chen Chuan walked out of the training room. He placed the Xuejun Knife on the knife rack and glanced at the calendar on the boundary card.
The semester will end in one day, and students will have a two-month vacation after that, but they are allowed to stay in the school dormitory if they wish.
In previous years, many junior students who were still in their growth stages would choose to stay because the central city was the only place with the most resources.
Two months is not a short time. If they fall behind in progress at this stage, it will be difficult to catch up later. They must seize this time.
Especially this year, the college management has issued many new regulations. Students who fall at the bottom may be demoted to non-staff students, which makes people even more afraid to leave.
According to Cao Guiqi's estimation, Chen Chuan would be able to break through the third limit in about one to two months. Now, nearly a month has passed.
He could feel that his senses had become more and more acute recently, and his control over himself was also increasing. It could be said that he was changing positively every day.
The next period of time is undoubtedly the most important, as he will enter the final sprint to break through the third limit.
During this process, the demand for medicine will be huge, and he will need strong opponents to practice with, so he cannot interrupt it. Therefore, even if he wants to go back to Yangzhi, he has to wait until he breaks through the third limit. He has also informed his family in advance, so he may not be able to go back until later this holiday.
He sat down on the sofa, ready to browse the marginal channels and relax. After watching for half an hour, Tan Zhi's avatar suddenly flashed, and he connected in.
"Student Chen, we have a holiday the day after tomorrow. Are you planning on going somewhere? Going home?"
Chen Chuan said: "I may have to stay in the college for a while."
Tan Zhi sighed and said, "Ah, I have the same plan as you. You know, this time, two students who ranked last in the evaluation scores have been demoted to non-staff students."
Chen Chuan asked, "Oh? So fast?"
"Who said it wasn't? I thought this rule wouldn't start until next semester, but I didn't expect it to be implemented so soon. These two are really pitiful. They might even participate in this competition.
But this competition is said to be very exciting. Since you are not in a hurry to leave, why don't we go and watch it together? This time, we can also invite Pan Xiaode and Qi Huixin to come along. They have been very cooped up lately."
Chen Chuan said, "Student Tan, Wei Wusheng is hanging around outside. Aren't you afraid of running into him if you go out like this?"
Tan Zhi said calmly, "Wei Wusheng hasn't been seen for a few days. He probably doesn't dare to come out recently because someone has offered a reward for his life on the underground platform. The person who paid must be one of the cruise passengers that day. They also opened up the right to add to the reward amount to everyone, so I also added one..."
Chen Chuan listened to his explanation again. Due to Wei Wusheng's continuous killing and the failure of the last roundup by the processing bureau, the remaining fighters would not just sit there and wait. You know, those who can get on the cruise ship either have connections or are wealthy. So someone placed a commission on a certain platform and offered a reward for Wei Wusheng.
Because the amount of money this time is relatively high, many fighters in the underground world are now ready to take action and are searching everywhere for Wei Wusheng's whereabouts.
He thought to himself that it was no wonder that there was less news about Wei Wusheng these days, he had almost disappeared. He had expected that even if he was injured last time, it would not have taken so long to recover. So this was the reason.
Tan Zhi then added, "It is said that among those who have clearly expressed their willingness to accept the commission, there are quite a few famous bounty hunters, such as the Pei brothers, Zuo Bayonet, Han Laomao, and Wei Wusheng. How could they have the leisure to come to us?
Besides, Central City has deployed strong security for this tournament, and many of Wu Yi's teachers will be there. No matter how bold Wei Wusheng is, he won't dare to cause trouble there, so don't worry."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time these days. I feel like I might be making progress, so I need to intensify my training."
"Oh? Have you entered the rapid growth phase of your alienated tissue?"
Tan Zhi unconsciously raised his voice. It is very difficult for a fighter to make progress. Usually, he can only rely on gradual improvement. But there is an exception, and that is the rapid growth period of alienated tissue. Once entering this stage, as long as the investment is sufficient, there will be a relatively rapid improvement.
Talented people not only have more rapid growth periods than others, but also take longer to grow. This is one of the main reasons why fighters distance themselves from each other.
However, considering that Chen Chuan is nearly two years younger than him, and he himself has indeed experienced a period of rapid growth at his age, this seems quite normal.
Chen Chuan replied: "Probably."
Tan Zhi said seriously, "If that's the case, then classmate Chen, you can't miss it. This is directly related to our future. Well, this vacation is very long anyway, and the competition will continue until September. You can make an appointment when you are free."
Chen Chuan said it was good.
After the call ended, he browsed the channel for a while, specifically looking for topics about Wei Wusheng. He found that everyone generally believed that Wei Wusheng was unlikely to cause any more trouble, and even the bets on him hadn't been added recently. But he had an inexplicable feeling that this might not be the case.
In the Cross Street area, diagonally opposite the former Abnormal Hotel, on the rooftop, the little boy was standing upside down with his hands on the ground. Sweat was flowing from his body to the ground, and a puddle had accumulated below, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
The man stood aside and watched. He had originally said that he would stay for a few days and then leave, but for some reason, he is still here.
After a long while, he said, "Okay."
The little boy put his feet down and collapsed to the ground, but he struggled to get up again, and tried to regulate his breathing and exercise and beat his limbs according to the man's instructions.
The man crossed his arms and looked at him and said, "I didn't expect you to be so talented. You remind me of one of my junior brothers. What do you plan to do in the future, kid?"
The boy said hopefully, "Can I follow you, sir?
The man said: "You are not qualified."
The boy suddenly felt a little lost.
The man said, "I'll be leaving soon. If you still want to practice, you can go to the Tianshu Gang and find Yu Hongming. He can teach you. Just say I recommended him."
The boy's eyes lit up, "I don't even know the master's name."
"Me..."
At this moment, there was some noise from the opposite balcony, and at the same time, a sonorous voice rang out: "Wei Wusheng, we found you, come out, you can't escape."
Wei Wusheng paused for a moment and said slowly, "Brother Pei? I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you've only just found me. How slow!"
He stretched his neck, making a crackling sound. He took off the hammer hanging from his waist and walked towards the place, saying as he walked, "Boy, if you want to live, get out of here."
