The clown's desire to survive was so strong that after hearing Du Yuqi's resignation, he said simply:

"My equipment has been damaged by the terrible high temperature before. If I still had the precious medicine, I wouldn't be talking to you like this now. I see that you seem to have mastered an ability that can absorb the powerful force in the weapon for your own use. Unfortunately, doing so seems to destroy the weapon."

"Let's put it this way. In addition to the Time Traveler's Eyeball, I also know the whereabouts of a very powerful sword artifact. If you follow the clues and intelligence I gave you, you will have a great chance of getting this weapon."

"In addition, I have a scroll blessed by the gods in heaven, called the Grudge of Furnace Rock and Coal. If you tear this scroll open and use it on your equipment, a powerful force will descend to strengthen your weapon. As for the degree of strengthening, it depends on the mood of the gods at the time."

Hearing this, Du Yuqi sneered and said:

"Mr. Moriarty, I don't know how the gods feel, but I'm feeling very unhappy at the moment. Is this your sincerity?"

The clown gasped and said:

"After I got this scroll, I did some research. There are 21 reliable records of its use. One time, the weapon was destroyed. The other 20 times, it was successfully enhanced. One time, it was enhanced to +14. Three times, it was enhanced to +13. Four times, it was enhanced to +11. The remaining enhancement levels are between +7 and +10. You have used highly enhanced weapons before, so you should know how valuable this scroll is!"

After hearing what the clown said, Du Yuqi hesitated for a moment and said:

"You want me to believe you can do that, but you have to show me the Dimension Ring."

Facing Du Yuqi's request, the clown hesitated for a moment and said:

"good!"

At this time, it was Du Yuqi who was surprised, because almost everyone put valuables in the dimensional ring. Du Yuqi said that he wanted to take a look, but in fact he needed the Joker to authorize him to use it. Du Yuqi couldn't help but said:

"Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word and kill you after I get the right to use the Dimension Ring?"

The clown said hoarsely:

"How can someone who can be my enemy be someone who goes against his word?"

After hearing what the clown said, Du Yuqi sneered and took his dimensional ring. He found that it was indeed as the clown said, empty and with nothing inside. He hesitated for a moment and said:

"Next, you will tell me every detail of your meeting with Zhao Qiuyu. Don't miss any details, and then we will make a deal."

The clown was still hanging on the steel antenna with one hand and one arm at this time, so he responded to Du Yuqi's request. Therefore, soon after Du Yuqi received the "life ransom" handed over by the clown, he made way and watched him climb up from below and limp away slowly. Du Yuqi suddenly raised his voice:

"Hey! You're only buying your life this time. If you don't want to die next time we meet, prepare the money first."

After hearing this, the clown was trembling all over, obviously extremely angry. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said:

"You keep my things safe. If you can't hand them over next time we meet, I will make you wish you were dead... and wish you were dead!!"

The last four words were completely shouted out, but the series of violent coughs that followed fully exposed the Joker's weakness at the moment. Du Yuqi was too lazy to reply. Seeing that the Iron Fortress was about to crash, he also wanted to find a way out, so he left as well...

Ten minutes later, the suffering residents of Shatli City heard loud explosions and roars in the sky. The brave ones raised their heads and looked up at the sky, only to see that at least half of the dark sky was occupied by a huge flying object as big as a dark cloud, and flames were burning on the surface of the flying object, raging wantonly. If you didn't look carefully, you would even have the illusion that the sky was on fire.

This super-giant flying object seemed to have flown from outer space, then slowly slid down at a seemingly slow speed, cutting in at a very small angle, and it was already covered with raging fires, and explosions seemed to be happening everywhere non-stop, looking full of a desolate beauty of destruction and decay. Besides the sadness, what remained was the shock of this magnificent destruction.

If you get closer, you can even hear the sad wailing sound coming from inside. That is the helpless sound of the internal steel load-bearing skeleton being twisted and deformed, and the unwilling protest of the engine that can provide strong kinetic energy exploding... These sounds are intertwined together, and they seem like a grand sad song and cry.

The residents near the bottom of this super-giant flying object were all feeling extremely terrified, because in their sight, the entire sky was burning and roaring and exploding continuously. Such a scene seemed like the end of the world, and it would probably be difficult to forget it for the rest of their lives.

The speed at which the Iron Fortress crashed seemed slow, but that was because of its large size. In fact, the crash process only lasted less than five minutes. The burning Iron Fortress descended at an angle of about fifteen degrees, piercing the ground, and then plowed deeply into the ground, shoveling up six or seven blocks before stopping. During this process, people within a radius of two or three hundred kilometers could clearly feel the earth shaking!

The shape of the Iron Fortress after the crash, seen from Magadha in the sky, was as strange as a flying disc stuck diagonally in the sand. After the crash, the raging fire burned for three days and three nights. The black smoke rushed into the sky, and black snow fell for a week. Severe pollution spread, and one-fifth of the entire Shatli city became a dead zone.

The crash of the Iron Fortress is also regarded as a landmark event marking the end of the "Shatli Rebellion". At the same time, although most of the Iron Fortress was completely burned by the flames, and even the steel frame structure was dissolved, it is said that some valuable information was still preserved in a part of the underground area. Therefore, this place was once designated as a restricted area, and anyone who trespassed without permission would be killed by the Imperial Army.

Of course, Du Yuqi had already returned to Earth at this time. It is worth mentioning that when entering the plane channel, the plane channel actually flashed a series of strange lights, and it seemed to be shaking constantly, as if it was overwhelmed, which made Du Yuqi frightened, and the surface of the mysterious black stone on Du Yuqi's neck also appeared faintly.

Fortunately, after about ten seconds, this dimensional channel finally calmed down completely, and there were no more troubles afterwards.

…

With a light "swish" sound, a piece of advertising paper stuck on the telephone pole was torn off.

This advertisement is made of A4 paper. The upper part is about the rent of a single room in the house. It is very flexible and can be rented on a quarterly, monthly, weekly or daily basis. Of course, it is inevitable to introduce that it is clean and hygienic, with air conditioning, color TV, complete furniture, and 24-hour hot water. Finally, it has to add an ambiguous sentence like "I wish all students a wonderful and happy night".

The lower half of the A4 paper was cut vertically into seventeen or eighteen small strips of paper. Each strip of paper had a vertical phone number printed on it. Anyone who was interested could tear one off and use it. Therefore, from a distance it looked a bit like a facial mask with a beard.

This kind of advertisement can be seen everywhere in and around schools. Together with posters about campus loans and old military doctors curing gonorrhea, they are called the SHE of small advertisements and are popular all over the country.

What Du Yuqi tore off at this time was an announcement for renting a single room.

Yes, as his secrets increased, he found that the dormitory was less and less suitable for him to live in. Besides, he happened to have no shortage of money, so he simply rented a single room outside to avoid having to come up with excuses, which was really painful. The price of making up a lie was to make up more lies to fix the loopholes. So after returning to Earth this time, Du Yuqi made up his mind to rent a house here.

Before tearing this thing off, Du Yuqi couldn't help but think of someone:

That is Zhao Qiuyu.

The last time I thought about renting a house, he was with me. The purpose was simple. At that time, we were both crazy about the Dynasty Warriors series, and we always felt that the money was not enough in the PS hall. So we planned for a long time and planned to rent a house with a second-hand TV + second-hand PS. In this way, the investment would be small and the return would be large. It was just that something happened later and we were unable to implement it.

Revisiting the old place at this time, Du Yuqi couldn't help but think of the past again, and for a moment, a complex emotion of melancholy, doubt, confusion, etc. emerged in his heart:

"Brother Yu, what kind of person are you? Why did we see the mysterious little golden crystal when we went to the laboratory to check it that day?"

After learning that Zhao Qiuyu was not dead, Du Yuqi suddenly wanted to find out the truth of the matter. He called the real estate agent to make an appointment and started investigating directly. In short, Zhao Qiuyu's social circle in school had a lot of overlap with his.

Du Yuqi started his investigation on the day when he was cleaning the laboratory and saw the small golden crystals for the first time. To be precise, it was the day when Zhao Qiuyu disappeared on the earth. He hoped to find some clues, but after spending several hours, Du Yuqi found nothing. After all, too much time had passed, and even if there were any clues, they must have been lost in the dust and time.
