This Curse Is Just Awesome - Chapter 333 - Investigating -- Chen Yu (6)
After scolding him, she did not receive any feedback. Only then did Sister Qi raise her head and realize that it was Chen Yu standing at the door. She was stunned, and the cigarette between her fingers fell out.
“Chen… Chen Yu?”
“Long time no see.” Chen Yu revealed a smile. “Sister Qi.”
After a moment of silence, Sister Qi bent down, picked up the cigarette on the ground, and stuffed it back into her mouth. “So you’re still alive.”
“Look at what you’re saying.” Chen Yu walked up and sat across from Sister Qi. He snatched her cigarette, took a puff, and faintly exhaled. “If I’m dead, what will happen to you?”
“Tsk, at least you’re kind…”

“Who’s going to send you off?” Chen Yu added.
Sister Qi: “…”
Flicking the cigarette ash, Chen Yu crossed his legs and looked around. “I haven’t seen you for a few months. Why is the shop so dilapidated? When I came last night, I thought you went bankrupt.”
“There are more exotic beasts in the wild, and the logistics fees have skyrocketed. The price of cigarettes is even higher. It’s more or less bankrupt.”
“Oh. So, how’s life… going recently?”
“Pretty good.” Sister Qi lit up another cigarette and said expressionlessly, “It’s just menopause. I’m often angry and irritable, and I always want to smash things and hit people.”
Chen Yu: “Oh, drink more hot water.”
Sister Qi said, “…F*ck.”
“Ha, just kidding. Menopause is not a small matter. Did you go to the hospital?”
“It’s useless to see a doctor.”
“Then what should we do?”
“Just a ‘shot’ will do.”
Sister Qi’s smile was mysterious as she blew smoke at Chen Yu’s face. “Can you help?”
“No.” Chen Yu refused on the spot.
“Why?”
“I don’t have any needles on me.”
“…” Sister Qi’s smile stiffened as she slowly retracted the corner of her mouth. “The ‘needles’ that I’m talking about aren’t the ‘needles’ that you’re thinking about.”
“I know.” Chen Yu nodded. “But I really don’t have those ‘needles’.”
Upon hearing that, Sister Qi hesitantly put out the cigarette butt and stared deeply at Chen Yu. “If you didn’t stay in Qingcheng and let your chicken run away, your chicken would have run away.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Alright.” Sister Qi straightened up and patted Chen Yu’s shoulder. “Don’t be discouraged. In my heart, I’ve always treated you like a child. Since you’re a child, then it’s the same for both boys and girls.”
Chen Yu: “The way you refine copper is so disgusting.”
Pa!
Sister Qi slapped the back of Chen Yu’s head. “Get lost.”
Rubbing the back of his head, Chen Yu took a step back and gave her a thumbs up. He pointed outside the house. “Is the shop still open?”
“What do you mean?”
“Let’s go for a ride to relieve your menopausal temper.”
“Why should I go with you?” As she said that, Sister Qi stood up and walked out of the house.
Chen Yu said, “Your mouth is not honest.”
“Shut up.”
After locking the door, Sister Qi was in front while Chen Yu was behind.
The two of them came to the parking lot on the left side of Elm Street and sat in a car.
“Good guy.”
In the driver’s seat, Chen Yu touched the leather steering wheel and exclaimed, “Tesla. Sister Qi has the controls.”
“Do you like it?”
“It doesn’t matter whether I like it or not. The main thing is that death likes it.”
“I just bought it.” Sister Qi fastened her seatbelt, opened the window, and looked out of the street. “I’ll give it to you if you like it.”
“Sister.” Chen Yu started the car and asked, “Have you been thinking too much lately?”
“Cut the crap and drive.”
“Drive.”
After putting on the front gear, he stepped on the accelerator.
The car slowly drove away.
Chen Yu hit the steering wheel and turned his head. “Sister Qi, we’re already in a Tesla. Is there still a need to put on your seatbelt?”
“…You’re right.” Sister Qi loosened her seatbelt.
“Let’s go!”
Chen Yu stepped on the accelerator!
The gorgeous car stopped and rushed straight ahead.
“Sister Qi, where are we going?”
“You brought me out for a ride. You’re asking me where we’re going?” Sister Qi pouted. “To Fengdu.”
“Alright.”
They drove into the main road and passed by a cigarette shop on the main street.
Chen Yu’s gaze swept past the stationery shop next door. He suddenly thought of something and asked, “Sister Qi, do you know the stationery shop next to you?”
“Yes.” Sister Qi stuck one hand out of the window and closed her eyes, quietly feeling the airflow. “What’s wrong?”
“There’s a little girl wearing glasses in the store.”
“Yes. Have you fallen in love with that girl?”
“No. I just want to ask about the background of that store.”
“Background?” Sister Qi opened her eyes and was puzzled. “What background can a stationery store have?”
“Oh.”
Hearing this, Chen Yu knew that Sister Qi did not know the inside story, so he changed the topic. “There are too many cars in the city, so we can’t go fast. Let me take you out of the city.”
“Whatever.”
Turning the steering wheel, the car turned around.
Soon, the two of them drove out of the city gate and ‘ran’ on the thin snow-covered road.
“Winter is almost over.” Looking at the scenery outside the window, Sister Qi’s gaze was blurred. “It’s another year.”
“Yeah.” Chen Yu slowly stepped on the accelerator and lit a cigarette at the same time. “You’ve been widowed for more than 20 years. What plans do you have for the future?”
“What plans can I have?” Sister Qi glanced at Chen Yu. “I’m old and yellow. I’m just waiting to die.”
“I don’t know if you’re old or not. You’re very yellow anyway.”
Sister Qi casually waved her hand and lit a cigarette as well. She crossed her legs and took a puff in a seductive manner. “Do you know what your biggest weakness is?”
“What?”
“You’re too good at pretending to be confused. Flirting with you is meaningless.” Looking at Chen Yu, Sister Qi tilted her head. “So, let’s talk about something else.”
“Like what?”
“Like what you’ve been doing recently.”
“Me? Busy saving the world.”
“Busy getting married.” Sister Qi gave a faint smile.
Chen Yu turned his head. “What?”
“Don’t look at me, look at the road.”
“Wh… What marriage?”
“I know everything.” Sister Qi lowered her voice, her tone mixed with inexplicable emotions. “You’re engaged to that young lady from the Bahuang family, right?”
“How did you know?” Chen Yu was dumbfounded.
“On the internet.”
Sister Qi spread her hands. “I often follow you on the internet. I can always find out the first thing about you.”
“On the internet? There’s news about me on the Internet?”
“Of course.” Sister Qi took out her phone, unlocked the screen, and opened the Tieba app. “Look, this is your Tieba… Oh, I forgot, there’s no internet in the wild.”
Chen Yu quickly poked his head out to check the content on Sister Qi’s phone screen.
As expected.
Although there was no internet, the Tieba app still marked the name of the Tieba.
[Chen Yu Tieba]
“Chen Yu Tieba?” Chen Yu was shocked. “I’m a celebrity?”
“Of course you’re a celebrity.” Sister Qi took back her phone, she explained, “The number of followers on Baidu Tieba alone has increased by four million. Vibrato, Slow Hand, and Weibo have even more followers. I only learned about your recent situation through the interactions of these fans.”
“So many fans… when did it happen?”
“Since you became the top scorer of Qingcheng.”
“The top scorer of Qingcheng…”
“Yeah.” Sister Qi nodded. “You might not have realized it yet. In fact, the core group of human society is martial artists. And the College Entrance Examination, which selects geniuses, naturally has a high level of attention. This is not limited to just one city, but the whole country.”
Chen Yu slightly slowed down the car and frowned. “When I became the top scorer, how many fans did I have?”
“There were less than fifty thousand on Tieba.”
“So few?”
“That’s already quite a lot.” Sister Qi flicked the ashes in the car. “Hundreds of cities across the country are holding College Entrance Exams. People usually only pay attention to the local top scorers. As for you… you’re quite special and very strong, so you attracted the attention of people from other cities.”
“But from 50,000 to 4,000,000…”
“Because of the Global University Tournament.”
“Oh!” Chen Yu suddenly understood.
A few months ago, the Global University Tournament was held in Beijing. At that time, the whole world was paying attention to it.
He had also won the championship of the elimination tournament and even presented an award. The number of fans had skyrocketed. It was completely reasonable.
“4,000,000 followers…”
Inexplicably, Chen Yu felt a little dizzy.
“It’s not four million. With the addition of all the platforms, there are at least forty million people who have followed you,” Sister Qi said.
Instantly, Chen Yu felt like he was floating even more.
“It’s a pity.” Sister Qi exhaled a puff of smoke and let the dense mist stain her face. “At least ten million of them are ‘dead’ fans.”
“…”
The excitement that was gradually accumulating in Chen Yu’s heart was instantly cleared.
There were tens of millions of people in the capital.
The ten million people who had once paid attention to him, paid attention to news of him, and even fans of him had completely sunk to the bottom of the data. They would no longer ‘speak for him’.
At this moment, Chen Yu felt the weight of ‘life’ even more.
Screech —
He stepped on the brakes.
The two of them stopped on the highway.
Sister Qi gently pulled up her hair and raised her eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”
“I suddenly remembered that I still have a lot of things to do.”
“What things?”
“At least…” Chen Yu turned his head and looked directly at Sister Qi. “We can’t let the remaining tens of millions of fans become dead fans, right?”
Hearing this, Sister Qi looked at Chen Yu in a daze. She opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.
“I’m sorry. Originally, I wanted to take you around a few times today and find a place to eat. But time waits for no man…”
“…Go.” Sister Qi turned her head and looked ahead. “Some people are only fit to live in a gentle village, while some people are destined to have a greater fate. For example, my husband…”
“And…”
Sister Qi patted Chen Yu’s shoulder and smiled. “My child.”
“Sister Qi…”
Chen Yu clenched his fists and took a deep breath. “After killing all the exotic beasts, I won’t let you be lonely again on the day of world peace and mountains and rivers.”
Sister Qi bit her lips. She couldn’t help but feel gratified. “As long as I have your words, I will…”
Chen Yu: “I will definitely find you the best nursing home.”
Sister Qi: “…I just want to open your mouth and fill it with sh*t.”
Chen Yu pulled the handbrake and made a ‘tank U-turn’. He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and accelerated to return the way he came.
“Speaking of which…”
After driving for a while, Chen Yu suddenly frowned. “Under normal circumstances, there should be a lot of exotic beasts in the wild. Why didn’t we encounter any exotic beasts along the way?”
“That’s right.” Sister Qi, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, also reacted. “I went out of the city a few days ago. Almost every few kilometers, I would encounter a few exotic beasts. There are even some that came out from the temporary void rift.”
“Perhaps… something is going to happen.” Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.
Half an hour later.
Chen Yu drove back to the city gate of Qingcheng City.
But just as he was about to stop and get ready to queue up to enter, he thought of something and turned the steering wheel, leaving the city again.
“Hmm?”
Seeing this, Sister Qi was puzzled, but she didn’t say anything.
About five minutes.
Chen Yu turned around once and returned to the city gate again.
Without waiting for it to stop, he left the city once again.
Sister Qi: “…”
Another five minutes passed.
Chen Yu arrived at the city gates for the third time.
Screech screech —
Turning left on the front wheel, he left the city for the third time…
Sister Qi finally couldn’t hold it in any longer. She roared angrily, “You crossed the city gates three times and didn’t enter?!”
Chen Yu: “I couldn’t stop.”
…
Time flew by.
Under the calm surface, time flew by quickly.
After saying goodbye to Sister Qi, Chen Yu returned home and abandoned all entertainment. He began to focus on increasing his strength.
The method to increase his strength was also very simple.
He found the A-Grade synthetic fluid in his backpack and injected it into his body three times a day on average.
As there was no ‘danger’ recently, he did not have to worry about the loss of battle strength after overdosing.
He would fight as many as he could.
Until the ‘explosive’ force made him unable to stand up.
Therefore, in less than a week.
The tank full of A-Grade synthetic fluid was only used up half, and Chen Yu’s force level broke through 2.9.
It was infinitely close to Level 3.
However, in the next few days, his strength did not increase at all..
Yes.
Chen Yu had reached a bottleneck…
[Sea of Qi Dispersing: Qi Density +0]
[Qi Density +0]
[+0; +0: +0…]
“No.”
In the second bedroom of the residential area.
Chen Yu opened his eyes and stood up from his cross-legged state. His expression was extremely ugly.
“Breaking through from Level 2 to Level 3 is definitely not as simple as breaking through from Level 1 to Level 2. Simply condensing the Sea of Qi is useless…”
Retracting his energy, he put away the syringe used for the injection, took his phone, and searched for related technologies on the internet.
However, he read one thesis after another.
He paid for one set after another.
They were all the same as a few days ago, and they were unable to provide any help to Chen Yu.
“…”
Turning off the phone screen, Chen Yu let out a long sigh. “It’s really… a curse even if I succeed, a curse even if I fail.”
“The world is so big, but there isn’t a single genius who is willing to create a cultivation technique that drops from Level 3 to Level 2…”
“…”
“Sad.”
Sitting on the bed, Chen Yu lay down in a ‘太’ shape, his face full of worry.
Every time at this time, he would think of Zhen Congming — Professor Zhen.
This person was a great genius!
He was comparable to Guan Zhongyue Yi, the rising dragon and phoenix chick.
There was no ‘cultivation method’ that Professor Zhen couldn’t research.
Every time he appeared in the world, it would cause a bloody storm in Tsinghua University…
“What a pity.”
“I can’t find him.”
Not only was there no news of him on the Internet, even the official website of Tsinghua University couldn’t find any traces of him.
Zhen Congming was also listed as ‘missing’ on the list of professors who died in the Battle of the Beast Tide in Beijing.
It was really unknown whether he was alive or dead…
Closing his eyes, Chen Yu pulled the blanket over his head.
“…”
“Once.”
“There was a smart professor in front of me, and I didn’t cherish him.”
“It wasn’t until he was gone that I regretted it.”
“If…”
“God gives me another chance…”
Before he could finish, Chen Yu sat up straight and said, “No, I have to go to Shanghai and ask Tsinghua University.”
For others, without Professor Zhen, they would only lose a professor who was ‘not very good.’
But for Chen Yu, without Zhen Congming, there was no hope for him to improve his strength in a short period of time.
More seriously, without Zhen Congming, he wouldn’t be able to improve his strength.
If he couldn’t improve his strength, who could resist a Level 9 exotic beast?
If he couldn’t resist a Level 9 exotic beast, it was only a matter of time before humans died.
Therefore.
Without Professor Zhen = The end of the world…
“This is really…. too terrifying.”
