Chapter 110: The Highest Score in History (Incomplete)_2
His future "only I am supreme" life could also be more satisfying.
"Mhm."
"That goal works."
The more Chen Yu thought about it, the more "feasible" he felt it was; eventually, he snapped his fingers.
"Snap."
"That's settled then."
"Except for humans, let all others be damned." (That's how uncultured revolutionaries talk.)
After setting his long-term goal with satisfaction, Chen Yu started planning his immediate strategies.
First, he absolutely had to get his hands on the "Soul Bead," a reward for the top three ranks in the assessment arena competition.
This posed a choice.
Whether to unleash his true power in the arena competition.
Once the truth that he possessed "multiple" powers was exposed, especially the crime of killing the troops stationed in Hecheng, what would the consequences be?
Compared to the benefits gained, how did the costs stack up?
"..."
"If really necessary, I might as well skip the competition."
"When the time comes, see who gets the Soul Bead, I'll just assassinate them."
Chen Yu gritted his teeth in frustration, tempted to flip the table again.
"Thud, thud, thud."
At that moment, the stone door of his room was knocked.
Chen Yu turned around, impatient: "Who is it?"
"Hello, may I speak with Master Chen Yu?"
Chen Yu frowned, stood up, and opened the door, sizing up the staff member outside: "What is it?"
"Master," the staff member bowed, "according to the assessment regulations, all contestants who have completed the assessments must undergo a final urine test. Master, you can go ahead to avoid the crowd tonight."
"No need," Chen Yu closed the door. "I prefer to do it when it's crowded."
Sitting back down, Chen Yu buried his head, continuing to think about his upcoming "assassination plan."
"Thud, thud!"
The door was knocked again.
Chen Yu, feeling his temper flare, got up and opened the door.
Outside stood his chubby neighbor.
"Yu! Going out for some fun?" the chubby neighbor asked excitedly, rubbing his hands together. "I found out there's a hot spring spa on the twenty-sixth floor, and beauties offering massages!"
"Get lost!" Chen Yu slammed the door hard, "I'm busy!"
Grumbling, he sat down again. Three seconds later, he stood up, pushed open the door, and asked, "Is it free?"
The chubby neighbor, who was about to leave, quickly turned back, nodding repeatedly, "It's free!"
"Let's go. I mainly want to soak in the hot spring."
Chen Yu waved his hand dismissively, "My brain, you see, is too smart, thinking too much every day. It needs some rest."
...
Together with his chubby neighbor, he went up to the twenty-sixth floor.
They were immediately greeted by two elegantly dressed, good-looking, and poised female attendants who respectfully led Chen Yu and his friend to a massage room.
"Yu, do you know what this Sky-reaching Tower really is?" the chubby neighbor whispered in Chen Yu's ear.
"What is it?"
"I found out. This Sky-reaching Tower, it's a Divine Artifact!" the chubby neighbor proudly exclaimed, thumb in the air.
As if the Sky-reaching Tower was his property.
"Such a tacky name," Chen Yu disdained. "What's a Divine Artifact?"
"It's a tool that integrates certain rules," the chubby neighbor babbled. "The infused rules vary, so do the effects. Like this Sky-reaching Tower, it's said to be imbued with the 'scale' rule, so it can expand or shrink at will."
"Explain 'expand or shrink,'" Chen Yu's eyes sparkled. "Can it be used on our own bodies too?"
The chubby neighbor: "…You're big enough already."
Chen Yu: "I meant overall."
"Oh," the chubby neighbor realized, "I don't know about that."
"Rules…" Chen Yu pondered.
This was another term he had never heard before.
"What are rules?"
"Rules are…" the chubby neighbor opened his mouth, "I don't know."
"How do you use them?"
"Don't know."
"Then what do you know?" Chen Yu frowned.
"I just overheard a few things, people don't really tell me the details."
"Whose words are you listening to?"
"The top student of the academy."
"Where is he now?" Chen Yu looked around.
The chubby neighbor scratched his head, "He's also here on the twenty-sixth floor, having fun. He's the one who told me about the beauties offering massages. I thought of you immediately."
"He seems to know quite a bit."
"He's really sly!" the chubby neighbor suddenly exclaimed enthusiastically, then realizing his voice was too loud, quickly lowered it. "Yu, that guy is way too sly. He looks serious but is actually just a show-off. If he ain't bragging in one sentence, he must in the next. He also told me..."
The chubby neighbor paused, glanced at the two female attendants leading the way, and whispered in Chen Yu's ear, "He also told me..."
"Sss!"
Chen Yu grimaced and immediately scratched his ticklish ear, "You're crazy, why whisper? Just speak normally."
The chubby neighbor licked his lips, slightly raising his voice, "He told me, his family makes the molds for Divine Artifacts. The decree that destroyed Hecheng was also a Divine Artifact, crafted by his father's own hands."
"Is that so…" Chen Yu squinted his eyes.
During the conversation.
Chen Yu and his companion had already been led by the female attendants into a massage room.
The room wasn't large.
It was furnished in a plain, stone style. Continue your journey with empire
Two stone beds were placed in the center; at the foot of the beds stood a row of masseuses dressed in red sexy long dresses.
"Gentlemen, here we are," one of the attendants bowed slightly to the side. "If you need anything, we'll be waiting outside the door."
Chen Yu: "Switch them."
Everyone present: "…"
Ignoring everyone's reaction, Chen Yu lay down on the inner stone bed and waved his hand, "Change them, for prettier ones."
Hearing this, the masseuses exchanged glances and reluctantly left.
