Chapter 198 - Increase In Strength

“Thank you, thank you all so much.”

In the cubicle on the fourth floor of the office building, Zhang Yanyan was crying her eyes out. “Only you guys… you guys are willing to help me.”

“The world is full of money, all for profit. It’s not for nothing.” Chen Yu held a cigarette in his mouth and blew out a cloud of smoke. “Just return the credits when it’s due.”

“Of course.” Zhang Yanyan wiped her tears. “We’ll return you 1,000 when it’s due.”

“That’s not necessary. We’ll take as much as we agreed on.” Chen Yu flicked the ash off the cigarette. “We’ve also accepted the mission. Now let’s get down to business.”

“Okay… let me slow down.” Zhang Yanyan covered her face and took a few deep breaths, she tried hard to calm her emotions. “The mission we accepted at that time was to find a batch of high-end liquor that had been stolen by the robbers. It was located around treasure city. The mission level was B because during the robbery, there was only one leader who was a Level 3 Martial Artist.”

“After that, you found them by all sorts of means and chased them all the way to the thieves’ nest.” Chen Yu became thoughtful, “You then found that there were Level 4 fighters in the nest.”

“Yes.” Zhang Yanyan shook her head, “Two Level 4 fighters.”

Hearing this, Zhang Tie raised his eyebrows. “Two Level 4 fighters? Stealing liquor? Are there so many high-level fighters nowadays?”

“I… I don’t know.”

“Then how did you escape?”

“The security officer saved us.”

Zhang Tie walked forward and looked Zhang Yanyan up and down. “The security officer of your class should also be Level 4, right?”

“Yes.”

“A Level 4 fighter with three oil bottles could escape from the hands of two Level 4 fighters and a group of robbers. That’s good.”

“Therefore, our safety officer was also injured.” Zhang Yanyan lowered her head.

“Who’s your safety officer?” Zhang Tie asked.

“Zhang Gang.”

After saying this, Zhang Tie became stunned at once.

Chen Yu, Duan Ye, and Bahuang Yao also looked at Zhang Tie at the same time.

“This Zhang Gang…” Duan Ye probed, “Is he your father?”

Zhang Tie: “…”

Chen Yu continued, “Or is he your son?”

Zhang Tie: “…He’s my elder brother.”

“Right.” Duan Ye looked at Chen Yu, “That’s ridiculous. How could he be his son?”

Chen Yu also looked at Duan Ye, “You’re not ridiculous? How could he be his father?”

“You should know that I’m in a bad mood.” Zhang Tie stretched out his hand and pulled the two people who were quarreling behind him. He then sat in front of the table and asked Zhang Yanyan, “How’s his injury?”

“He’s not seriously injured. He will be discharged this afternoon. Are… Are you brothers with Senior Zhang Gang?”

“Yes.”

Zhang Tie nodded.

After a short while, he added, “We used to be.”

Seeing that Zhang Tie didn’t want to say more, Chen Yu changed the topic. “We don’t know whether your teammate is alive or dead. We can’t waste time. After your security officer is discharged this afternoon, let’s set off.”

“Thanks.” Zhang Yanyan repeatedly bowed, “You’re the benefactors of Class 4…”

“Then prepare yourselves.” Chen Yu waved his hand, “Put on your equipment and adjust yourselves. We’ll leave in the afternoon.”

“Okay.” Duan Ye nodded. “I’ll go back to my dormitory to bring some special warheads.”

Chen Yu said, “I’m going back too.”

Zhang Tie stood up. “Although I don’t agree with you to accept A-Rank missions, I’m just a security officer, so you have the final say. However, remember, you must be careful, cautious, and prudent. You can fail the mission, but you must protect your life.”

Duan Ye replied, “Okay.”

Bahuang Yao replied, “Understood.”

Chen Yu became stunned as he looked at Zhang Yanyan and asked, “Oh, speaking of failing the mission, how did you solve the task of looking for liquor? Can you continue to do it?”

“No.” Zhang Yanyan shook her head. “After escaping out of there, we reported the situation to the school. The school punished the Baoshi Trading Company that issued the commission. However, when the Baoshi Trading Company heard that a Level 4 fighter had appeared, they canceled the commission.”

“Why?” Bahuang Yao was puzzled.

“It’s very simple. Either they’re afraid of revenge, or the cost of issuing an A-Rank mission is too high. It’s not worth it to get the alcohol back,” Chen Yu answered.

“Yes.” Zhang Yanyan lowered her head.

“Then, have you Class 4 received the fine that the school imposed?”

“It’s being reviewed. It will take at least two months. After the review, it will be changed into compensation for the family members of the teammates.”

“What a pity.” Chen Yu put out the cigarette. “Now that the trading firm doesn’t want it anymore, this batch of wine will be ours once we get it back.”

“No!” Zhang Tie refused. “Our mission is to save the female students of Class 4, not to fight those two fighters. As long as we can find the female student, it’s fine. As long as we don’t have to touch the bandits, we don’t touch them.”

“Brother Tie.” Chen Yu suddenly lowered his voice and whispered into Zhang Tie’s ear, “If the bandits only have two Level 4 fighters, you, plus your father…”

“My brother!”

“Yes, you, plus your brother, plus me, we can definitely kill them easily.”

“…Are you so confident about your own strength?”

“You will know when the time comes.” Chen Yu smiled as he made an ‘OK’ gesture. He then turned around and ordered, “All of you, disperse. Gather at the school gate at 2:00 pm.”

…

Returning to the dormitory, Chen Yu locked the door. Without any delay, he pulled the curtains tightly and took out two bottles from the drawer under the bed.

Inside the bottles were pure white, unknown oil.

A Grade A synthetic liquid!

It had been some time since the last ‘upgrade’. His body had already completely digested the increased strength.

Now that he was about to complete a Grade A mission, it was time to raise his strength.

Carefully opening the bottle cap, Chen Yu turned around to look at the window. After confirming that the curtains were tightly drawn, he found a needle and slowly extracted the oil in the bottle.

Halfway through, he stopped.

After hesitating for a moment, he inserted the needle into the vein of his wrist.

[Infected by an unknown liquid: Qi +17336]

In an instant, an indescribable sense of comfort spread throughout his body along with the flow of his blood.

“…Hnn.”

Chen Yu took a deep breath while trembling. After holding it in for a while, he exhaled turbid air and carefully pushed the needle again, injecting the pure white liquid inside.

[Infected by an unknown liquid: Qi +16404]

[Qi +17088]

[Strength +16262]

[…]

After injecting one-third of the needle, Chen Yu pulled out the needle and put it aside.

Then, he mobilized the dantian in his body.

Bang!

The surging strength suddenly exploded.

The strong wind blew the room until it made whistling sounds.

“Level 1.6.”

Feeling the strength of the strength, Chen Yu tentatively punched, jumped, walked, and stood on his head…

He could guarantee that he could accurately control the sudden increase in his strength.

“Okay, I can still add more points.”

After withdrawing his strength, he felt relieved and injected the remaining two-thirds of the needle into his body.

[Strength +16,501]

[Strength +15,944]

[Strength… ]

After one needle, his strength went up to Level 1.7.

After putting down the needle, Chen Yu was still considering whether he should directly increase it to 1.8.

However, considering that the mission was imminent and he was about to level up by 0.3, the stability of his strength was bound to be unstable. In the end, he still chose to stop at 1.7.

When he was a ‘black man,’ he had enough of the ‘top-heavy’ experience.

Standing up and releasing his strength, Chen Yu was suddenly in a daze for a moment.

That ‘roar’ overflowing energy made him feel like he had smoked fiercely for the first time…

“No, I should go out and exercise. I should familiarize myself with the feeling.”

With this thought in mind, he carried the BB motherboard on his back, mounted his backpack, and hurried downstairs. He randomly found a spacious training ground and ran around crazily.

Lap after lap.

His speed was getting faster and faster, and he was squandering his unlimited energy to his heart’s content.

…

Beijing University.

2 pm.

Chen Yu arrived at the West Gate of Beijing University on time. He saw Duan Ye, Bahuang Yao, and Zhang Yanyan already waiting there.

“Good afternoon, everyone.”

“Good afternoon, Brother Yu.” Zhang Yanyan bowed. “Thank you for…”

“Don’t thank me, how many times have you thanked me?” Chen Yu waved his hand. “Brother Tie didn’t come?”

“I’m here.” Zhang Tie jumped off a tree beside the gate. “Everyone’s here, I’ve already booked the tickets. The high-speed train starts at 3:30, let’s go to the hospital to look for Zhang Gang.”

After getting ready, the five people took two taxis and arrived at the Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University.

The moment they got off the taxi, they found a tall man who looked somewhat similar to Zhang Tie sitting on a bench in front of the hospital.

There was also a bloody bandage on his head.

“Senior Zhang Gang…” Zhang Yanyan took the lead and went forward. “I’ve brought the students who accepted the task here.”

Hearing this, the man turned around calmly. Seeing Zhang Tie in the team, he quivered all of a sudden. “You? Why are you here?”

“After accepting the mission, I’m here.” Zhang Tie remained expressionless.

“…This is an A-Rank mission.”

“I know.”

“I advise you, it’s not too late to withdraw now.”

“Senior…” Zhang Yanyan became anxious.

“Shut up.” Standing up, Zhang Gang walked in front of Zhang Tie. Hidden under his brown pupils was a complex emotion that no one could see through. “This is an A-Rank mission. Why are you here as an assistant?”

“My class has already accepted the mission. What can I do?” Zhang Tie shrugged. “I’m more concerned about you. With your ugly look, can you still fight?”

“…You’ve already accepted it.” Zhang Gang looked at Chen Yu and the others and said faintly, “Yeah, you’re just a security officer. What right do you have to decide? The noble elites have already accepted it.”

“Zhang Gang.” Zhang Tie frowned. “Don’t say such childish words.”

“…Fine. I’ll shut up.” After removing the bloody bandage, Zhang Gang glanced at Zhang Yanyan expressionlessly and said, “Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go.”

“How’s your injury? Can you fight me or not?” Zhang Tie asked.

“I can beat you anyway.”

Zhang Tie burst out laughing, “You’re a physical martial arts major. How could you beat me?”

Zhang Gang didn’t comment on it. He just glanced at Chen Yu and the others silently as a killing intent surged out of his eyes. “Who knows…”
