#300 - Chapter 299 Hello, I am Bai Wuchang
"Still investigating. I'll contact you proactively if there's any progress."
"Okay, thanks. I have nothing else here."
"Alright, we'll talk again if anything comes up."
"Okay, goodbye."
Li Chenqiu hung up the phone and stood alone in front of the iron railing, gazing at the city of No. 200 in the rainy night.
Whoosh whoosh~~~
Rainwater slanted into the balcony due to the strong wind, hovering one centimeter away from Li Chenqiu.
"Chameleon."
Li Chenqiu murmured in a low voice.
He originally wanted to ask Yama about the Chameleon, but in the end, he didn't open his mouth. A seventh-level Forbidden Awakener probably wouldn't attract the other party's attention.
"Huff~~~"
Li Chenqiu breathed a long sigh and turned to walk back to the living room.
……
The rain hadn't stopped by morning. Buildings were shrouded in a misty white fog, and everything seemed dull.
Most people didn't like this day, but not Li Chenqiu. He liked this day very much, not only because of the extreme water, but more so because his money had arrived.
"Hahaha!"
Li Chenqiu sat up excitedly from the bed, clutching his phone.
Xiang Nanzhi, who was sleeping on the other bed, was startled awake and cursed, clutching the corner of the blanket, "Are you sick? What are you shouting so early in the morning!"
Li Chenqiu ignored Xiang Nanzhi, quickly put on his clothes, and darted to the bathroom like the wind. In less than a minute, he finished washing his face and brushing his teeth.
Xiang Nanzhi scratched her head in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
Li Chenqiu put on his mask, put on his shoes, and said without turning his head: "I'm going shopping!"
Bang!
The door closed.
Xiang Nanzhi stared at the door for a while, then wriggled back into the blanket.
After leaving the hotel, Li Chenqiu didn't even take a car. His legs alternated frantically as if they had been injected with chicken blood. In less than five minutes, he arrived at the Hunter Association of City No. 200.
Before the little sister at the front desk could even touch the chair with her butt, a gust of wind suddenly struck, and her neat bangs lifted upwards as if frightened.
Smack!
Li Chenqiu slammed his bank card on the counter: "Hello, I want to buy third-level and fourth-level Forbidden Revival Beasts."
"Uh… may I ask what your budget is? What kind of purchase are you looking for…"
"My budget is less than nine billion. I want to buy as many Revival Beasts as possible."
Front desk girl: (°ー°〃)
Soon, Li Chenqiu was pulled into the top-floor VIP room by a group of people dressed like insurance salesmen. After signing some agreements, Li Chenqiu was led by several men to the ice storage of Revival Beasts.
Compared to the Hunter Association of City No. 11, the Hunter Association of City No. 200 had more inventory and higher quality. Buying out the third and fourth level Forbidden Revival Beasts cost Li Chenqiu nearly three billion!
"Mr. Li, this is the cumin you wanted."
A man in a suit walked up to Li Chenqiu carrying a person-high iron bucket.
Li Chenqiu took the iron bucket and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, please close the door when you leave."
Rumble——
As the ice storage door slowly closed, Li Chenqiu officially began his feast.
This feast lasted for a whole day.
……
The temperature in City No. 200 was low in the early morning. Li Chenqiu walked alone by the river, occasionally reaching out to pat his stomach.
"Once my body has completely digested these Revival Beasts, I should be close to the fifth level Forbidden. I wonder where the remaining fifty billion will take me."
Li Chenqiu looked at the turbulent river surface, a hint of worry appearing between his brows.
He roughly understood the price of fifth level Forbidden Revival Beasts at the Hunter Association, which was roughly in the range of five to ten billion, but it was basically impossible to buy a fifth level Forbidden Revival Beast for seven or eight billion.
Those with the Mandate of Heaven above the fourth level Forbidden can only eat Revival Beasts of the same level to improve themselves. Eating lower levels is also possible, but the improvement is minimal.
The appearance of each fifth level Forbidden Revival Beast is basically in the form of an auction, and those participating in this auction are all fifth level Forbidden Mandate of Heaven, and so on for the sixth, seventh, and eighth level Forbidden…
As a result, the Revival Beasts above the fourth level Forbidden have been pushed into an awkward situation of "available but priceless". The price set by the Hunter Association has become a complete joke and has no reference value.
"It seems that if I want to improve my strength quickly, I have to focus on the Star Points. The academy doesn't allow the transfer of Star Points. How can I get other people's Star Points into my hands?" Li Chenqiu muttered to himself.
Ding-dong!
"Your account has received ten billion."
A pleasant notification sound came from Li Chenqiu's pocket.
"Huh?"
Li Chenqiu took out his phone from his pocket and opened the remittance prompt box in the message bar.
[Ten billion from Gao **]
"Teacher Gao?"
Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows, thinking of Gao Fushuai asking for his bank account before, saying he wanted to thank him.
"Quite generous."
Li Chenqiu put his phone back in his pocket, stood on the side of the road, and reached out to stop a taxi: "Master, go to the Jianfan Hotel."
"Okay."
Li Chenqiu opened the back door, bent down and sat in, and just as he was about to close the door, an excessively white hand grabbed the door.
Li Chenqiu looked up and saw a young man standing outside the car door.
The young man was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, a white mask and a white baseball cap. A few strands of white hair hung in front of his eyes, swaying with the night wind, and a pair of dark eyes calmly stared at Li Chenqiu.
The driver turned his head and asked suspiciously: "Are you together?"
Before Li Chenqiu could speak, the young man spoke first: "Together."
Saying that, the young man gestured for Li Chenqiu to move inside.
Li Chenqiu supported the car seat and moved to the left.
The young man bent down, sat in the seat Li Chenqiu had previously occupied, and reached out to close the door.
After the driver turned on the meter, he stepped on the accelerator and drove the car onto the road.
The car was very quiet, and the air conditioning made the air slightly stuffy. Neither of them spoke first.
The young man pressed the window lift switch, and the cold night wind instantly rushed into the car, dissolving some of the stuffy air.
Li Chenqiu turned his head to look at the young man sitting next to him and thought to himself, "Is this the ninth level Forbidden Awakener that Yama sent?"
Although he was very puzzled, Li Chenqiu did not ask, after all, the venue was not suitable.
……
The road was very empty in the early morning. In less than ten minutes, the taxi steadily stopped in the shadow on the right side of the hotel, which was a blind spot that the surveillance could not capture.
After Li Chenqiu paid the fare, the taxi quickly left.
The young man stood in place, looked around, and after seeing that no one was peeking in the dark, he extended his hand to Li Chenqiu: "Hello, I am Bai Wuchang."
Li Chenqiu reached out and shook it: "Hello, I am King Chujiang."
