This Curse Is Just Awesome

The next day.

At ten in the morning, Chen Yu was woken up by the alarm.

After a simple wash and change, he put on a mask and prepared to go out to find something to eat.

However, when the door opened, he was immediately shocked.

He saw the middle-aged boss standing outside the door with a kind face and holding a plate of sumptuous breakfast in his hand…

“Master Warrior, you’re finally awake.” The middle-aged man handed over the plate enthusiastically. “I’ve heated it up a few times. I wonder if it’s to your taste.”

“Ah… Thank… Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. This is what I should do. Then, you can have your meal. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

With that, the middle-aged man bowed and left.

Standing in the same place with the plate in his hand, Chen Yu was stunned for a long time. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry before returning to his room and eating the good intentions of the boss one bite at a time.

With such a way of doing business, he deserved to be the shop owner…

After eating breakfast, Chen Yu opened the wicked map and began to think about his actions today.

The murderer was only targeting Level 1 fighters from other places.

This point of him being ‘from other places’ had already been vaguely shown in the many nightclubs last night.

If the murderer really came from a major force, then he was very likely to have been targeted.

Next, as long as he reasonably revealed his Level 1 martial artist’s strength, he would become the perfect target for ‘being attacked’.

“In general, I’m still lucky. Waiting for the enemy to passively come to my door…”

Sighing, Chen Yu put away his phone, carried the BB motherboard on his back, and left the room.

On the next floor, when he arrived at the hall, the middle-aged man behind the counter immediately greeted him. “Lord Martial Artist, are you going out?”

“Yes. I’ve just arrived in this city. I’m ready to take a good look around.”

“Then I suggest you go to the National Mine Park. It’s quite well-built now.” The middle-aged man thought for a while. “There’s also the exotic land of Bodhi Island outside the city. You can take a look too. I heard that the production is quite good.”

“There’s also an exotic land in Tang City?” Chen Yu was stunned.

“Yes. It’s outside the city, but it’s not very famous.”

“Thank you. I’ll go for a walk today.” Taking out his phone, Chen Yu scanned the QR code at the counter for 500 yuan and said, “I’ll stay for a few more days. The daily fee will be deducted from this 500 yuan, including the cost of meals.”

“No need, no need.” The middle-aged man waved his hand repeatedly. “For the martial artists who live in the shop, I provide meals for free. I won’t deduct it for you. Only the accommodation fee will be deducted.”

“…” Hearing this, Chen Yu looked around. “No wonder the shop is so old and there are no waiters. You’re going to close down soon.”

“My daughter has passed away, and I don’t have any relatives. What’s the use of earning money?” The middle-aged man touched his round belly. “I don’t have anything else to ask for. As long as I can make some contributions to mankind, I’ll be satisfied.”

“…”

Hearing this, Chen Yu’s emotions were complicated. He didn’t know how to answer, so he could only nod, turn around, and push the door open. “Boss, I’ll be leaving first.”

The middle-aged man shouted, “Be careful!”

…

After leaving Hotel 92, Chen Yu didn’t go straight to Bodhi Island’s strange realm. Instead, like yesterday, he continued to stroll around the city.

Shopping malls, black markets, internet cafes, gun stores, and entertainment venues. He did not miss any of them.

He tried his best to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.

He did not miss a piece of information that passed by his ear.

Regarding this mission, Chen Yu was already prepared to fail.

The current focus was to diligently learn the ‘work’ method of a martial artist, so as to accumulate ‘leadership’ experience for the next mission.

Clang…

He did not know how far he had walked.

The sound of coins colliding suddenly rang in his ears, bringing Chen Yu back to his senses.

He turned his head and saw a beggar dressed in shabby clothes. He was holding a broken bowl in his left hand and a cell phone in his right hand. He was begging him.

“Handsome, give me some…”

Chen Yu: “I don’t have any cash.”

The beggar immediately raised his cell phone and revealed the QR code on the screen. “You can scan it.”

Chen Yu: “…”

“I haven’t eaten in half a year. Give me some…”

“You haven’t eaten in half a year, but you have money to play with your phone.”

“Give me some, handsome…” The beggar clung to Chen Yu.

Scratching his ear, Chen Yu did not want to waste any more time with a beggar. He reached into his pocket and rummaged through it. Finally, he found a one-dollar coin and threw it into the beggar’s bowl.

Clang…

The sound of the coin hitting the porcelain was crisp and pleasant.

The beggar looked at the coin in the bowl and then looked up at Chen Yu. “…Are you sending away beggars?”

Chen Yu: “…”

“You can even afford one dollar?”

Chen Yu: “If you don’t want it then give it to me.”

“Tui! You’re so f*cking stingy.” The beggar twisted his body and cursed as he squatted back to his original position and swiped his phone.

Very soon, he snatched a red packet and excitedly shouted out a voice message, “Thank you boss for the 10 cents red packet! Boss is so generous…”

Chen Yu: “…Isn’t he f*cking crazy?”

Leaving this place.

He strolled around for another half a day and made sure that his ‘appearance rate’ in Tang City was high enough. Only then did he take a car to the exotic land of Bodhi Island that the hotel boss mentioned.

It was different from the half-dead strange land in Qingcheng.

There were crowds of people here, and there was a long queue.

From the students of junior high and high school to the old men with white hair, all of them held cash in their hands and crowded to buy tickets to enter.

At the end of the queue, Chen Yu observed from left and right for a while. He patted a brawny man in front of him and asked, “Brother, I have something to ask you.”

“Oh?” The burly man turned around. “What is it?”

“Can’t we use the internet to pay for this strange realm? I see that everyone is holding cash.”

“Yes, the strange realm on Bodhi Island only accepts cash. Because there are two space-time portals on the island, the space is interlaced with each other, so the internet is not very stable.”

“Two space-time portals?” Chen Yu was surprised. “Two strange realms?”

“Yes.” The burly man nodded. “It’s just that one of the strange realms is not accessible. It’s useless.”

“I see…”

The brawny man looked Chen Yu up and down. “How strong is this brother? Are you alone?”

“Strength: Level 1.5. Single.”

“Awesome. Then let’s form a team.” The brawny man pointed at his companions in front of him. “There are four of us, two physical martial arts, and two Qi martial arts. We’re all at Level 1. If you join us, we can go deeper into the alien realm. Since you don’t have any cash, we’ll buy the tickets for you.”

“Form a team?” Chen Yu hesitated.

“It’s fine even if you don’t want to. Sweep the money for me, and I’ll exchange it for cash.”

“There’s no need to exchange it.” Chen Yu waved his hand. “I’m in.”

“Awesome.” The brawny man patted Chen Yu’s shoulder and laughed. “My name is Dahai. How should I address you, Little Brother?”

“My name is Lightning Ball.”

Everyone: “…”

“Cough, that’s a pretty good name.” Dahai turned his body sideways and pointed at the people in front of him. “The three of them are teammates. Let’s get to know each other.”

The skinny man waved his hand. “Hello, my name is * * *, martial arts major.”

The fat nan nodded. “* * *, martial arts major. Happy collaboration.”

The woman made a mental comparison. “* * , Qi martial arts major. Little handsome, please add me on WeChat later!”

Among ‘wild’ martial artists, such temporary teams were very common.

If the cooperation went well, it would be a long-term team in the future.

If the cooperation did not go well, it would be good for them to part on good terms.

The wild and exotic lands were extremely dangerous areas. The combined team’s survivability and combat ability far exceeded a lone wolf’s…

After the team was formed and assigned their respective duties, Dahai turned around and poked Chen Yu. He lowered his voice and said, “Brother, from your accent, you’re from out of town, right?”

“Yes, I’m from out of town.”

“Then listen to my advice. When we come out of the exotic lands, we’ll pack our things and leave Tang City as soon as possible.”

“Why?” Chen Yu’s eyes flashed.

“There is a force in this city that targets you Level 1 martial artists from other places.” Dahai’s voice was even lower. “During this period of time, over a hundred martial artists have died.”

“Over a hundred martial artists? That’s so exaggerated?!”

“Over a hundred, it was only revealed by the police. In fact, secretly, there might not be less than three hundred martial artists. It’s just that they were suppressed by the local government and were not exposed.”

Chen Yu put on a skeptical expression. “A few hundred martial artists died, and the country didn’t pay attention to such a big case?”

“Even if they did, it would be useless.”

Dahai spread his hands. “In the entire Tang City, every martial artist who lived in the city had been checked by the country several times. All kinds of experts and lie detectors took turns, but they still couldn’t find a single suspect. Moreover, the wandering martial artists themselves didn’t have a fixed residence. No one knew if they are just leaving the city or if they are dead. Only the bones that appear from time to time tell the police that another one has died.”

Hearing this, Chen Yu was truly shocked.

How terrifying was this force?

After sweeping through it a few times, not a single suspicious person appeared..

This kind of leadership, organization, and control was something that even some countries would not have.

However, such a powerful existence actually launched an attack against martial artists outside the city, and only killed a Level 1 martial artist…

What was the purpose of this action?

It was completely unreasonable!

There was no reason at all!

There wasn’t even the slightest bit of normal logic.

One person could be mentally ill.

However, a faction would definitely have a goal that would carry out the entire mission.

This kind of organization, which couldn’t be caught even with the entire city’s strength, focused on finding trouble with Level 1 martial artists outside the city. It was like a missile exploding an ant. It was unreasonable…

“It’s incomprehensible.” After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu shook his head. “Unless it’s some kind of human experiment, I can’t understand the behavior of this force.”

“I can’t understand it, either. Even if we specifically find Level 1 fighters to do experiments, there’s no need to go through so much trouble.” Dahai smiled. “I heard that Tang City has established more than ten think tank workshops, but they haven’t been able to analyze anything. Anyway, listen to me and leave this place as soon as possible.”

“…Mm.”

Nodding, Chen Yu didn’t say anything else.

This exchange with Dahai had already made him have the intention of giving up on the mission.

This level of competition wasn’t something that the three Level 1 fighters and one Level 4 fighter could participate in.

A C-Rank mission?

Bullsh*t!

This was simply a despicable move that the Tang City police had no choice but to make!

‘Using us as bait…’

At this thought, Chen Yu closed his eyes and continued to think for a long time. After that, he took out his mobile phone and typed a message in the group chat of Class 2 of WeChat.

[Chen Yu: Are you all here? If you are, please send a message, including Brother Tie.]

[Zhang Tie: Yes.]

[Bahuang Yao: Yes.]

[…]

[Chen Yu: Where’s Duan Ye? Give him a call, Brother Tie.]

[Zhang Tie: Okay.]

[Chen Yu: Right, Brother Tie, check if there’s a ticket back to Beijing City tonight.]

[Zhang Tie: No need to check. The earliest is 8:30 am tomorrow.]

[Chen Yu: Contact Duan Ye then.]

Half a minute later, Duan Ye came online.

[Duan Ye: Yes, what’s up, Brother Yu?]

[Chen Yu: Duan Ye, Bahuang Yao, gather with Brother Tie as soon as possible. We’re not doing the task anymore.]

[Zhang Tie: Okay.]

[Bahuang Yao: What happened? Do you need help?]

[Duan Ye: Why?]

[Chen Yu: There’s a big hole in this task. Gather together. Brother Tie, book 4 tickets. We’ll leave tomorrow.]

[Zhang Tie: Actually, even if you didn’t say it, I would have suggested you to give up the task. I’ve collected intelligence all night yesterday and found that this case is too deep. We can’t be pawns. You’ve made the right choice.]

[Duan Ye: What the f*ck? What did you find?]
