Chapter 25: Robbery |
"But that's not necessarily the case. There have been many disappearances due to the system recently. The officials might not pay too much attention to this case."
The sudden disappearance of the bus driver earlier was undoubtedly caused by the system. This kind of missing person case was not uncommon recently. The news had specially broadcast it. Zhou Chen felt that he was very likely to be ignored.
"Even if it's exposed to the officials, it won't be too bad, as long as not everyone knows."
While thinking, Zhou Chen used the map in his phone to guide him to his destination.
He chose the shortest route and realized that there was still about 800 meters to go.
Following the directions from the map, he entered a narrow street and began to walk quickly.
He was feeling quite hungry now, and he wanted to reach the buffet restaurant as soon as possible.
After passing through this narrow street, Zhou Chen entered an even narrower alley. He had to take many turns, and he felt like he was about to lose his way.
Suddenly, at a turning point, a young man with yellow hair walked toward him.
"Little brother, I've been a little tight on money recently. Lend me some money."
The young man turned the dagger in his hand and said to Zhou Chen.
At the same time, Zhou Chen sensed that another man was coming from behind him, and he seemed to be holding a sharp weapon.
"Has the security in Dragon Country become so bad recently?"
Zhou Chen felt a little puzzled, but his movements were not slow. An iron rod suddenly appeared in his hand, and he took a step forward to hit the blond young man's neck; the blond was knocked unconscious without even being able to utter a sound.
The next moment after knocking the blond out, he flipped the iron rod behind him. The curly-haired youth behind him was stunned as he sent him into the land of dreams.
Zhou Chen, who had quickly finished off the two robbers, looked up at the top of the alley and found that there was indeed no surveillance here.
After confirming this, he put the iron rod back into his inventory and bent down to search the pockets of the two robbers.
"50, 100, 100 more… The two of them have a total of 250 Dragon Country bills, that's quite a lot, what are they robbing for?"
He put the 250 Dragon Country bills he obtained from the two robbers into his pocket and dragged them to a nearby corner. Then, he quickly left the alley.
"My luck is quite good, someone paid for the buffet and even gave extra."
Zhou Chen felt that the sadness brought by hearing about the fee had mostly dissipated.
At the same time, he had a clearer understanding of his current combat strength.
His physique was much stronger than that of ordinary people. His reaction speed was difficult for ordinary people to follow, and his strength was much higher. He could also control it accurately. Ordinary people were not his match at all.
After walking for a while, Zhou Chen arrived at his destination. He quickly paid and entered the restaurant to eat.
In the next hour, he destroyed several large plates of roasted chicken, barbecue, and other meat dishes. He then ate a lot of fruits and drank cup after cup of milk, making the service staff in the restaurant cast their gazes at him several times.
After eating and drinking his fill, he left the restaurant and continued to walk in Yang City.
On the one hand, this was to digest food. On the other hand, it was because he had the habit of strolling outside. It was too depressing staying in the small rented room.
He was walking toward the room now. However, the route he took was different. He chose a long path about ten kilometers long.
One of the benefits of this route was that the scenery and air were better, because the route was along a large river in Yang City, and there were trees and flowers by the river.
He had walked this path before the Survival mission, so he was familiar with it.
As he walked, he began to use his phone to search the official website of the Yang City Orphanage and logged in according to the original owner's memory to check the information regarding the fees.
It did not take long for him to confirm that he still owed the Yang City Orphanage 200,000 Dragon Country bills. The person who had called him on the bus was indeed from the orphanage.
"Money, I lack money. I didn't expect that I would lack this in another world as well."
Zhou Chen felt a little helpless. He was quite young when he was killed by a car accident in his previous life. He had been short of money back then too and had yet to figure out a good way to earn money.
"I feel like I can only rely on the Survival missions."
After thinking about it, Zhou Chen felt that he could only walk the path of wealth by selling the equipment he obtained from Survival missions.
Because he had a lot of passive skills, he did not rely too much on equipment. As long as he left some core items and sold the other dropped equipment in the trading area, he should be able to earn a lot of money.
The slightly useful things could be sold for tens of thousands of Dragon Country bills in the trading area. Some could even be sold for hundreds of thousands.
"Other than that, there's also the option of joining the Administration for salary, but I don't like being restrained."
The foundation given by the original owner was a little weak. Apart from gaining a good Survival talent, he did not have any other outstanding talent.
Furthermore, it was impossible for him to focus on earning money through normal means. This was because the pressure from Survival missions was not weak. It was difficult to pay attention to other things.
After walking along the river called the Great Yang River for a while, Zhou Chen felt that he had digested most of the food in his stomach and began to run.
He ran back to his rented room at a moderate speed, sweating a little.
"Running isn't enough, I have to do more professional training."
Zhou Chen's training before the previous Survival missions was quite simple. He only exercised and maintained a good state. However, after experiencing the few Survival missions, he realized that just this much training was not enough. This was because fighting was necessary in the Survival missions. Just physical fitness alone was not enough, and there had to be specialized combat training.
"Why don't I go to Boss Liu's dojo tomorrow to train…"
Zhou Chen immediately thought of Boss Liu, the owner of Weijiang Dojo. Although Boss Liu's martial arts skills were terrible and his training hall was relatively small, the equipment of the training hall was complete. When Zhou Chen went to help Boss Liu film the martial arts video last time, he had conveniently used the sandbag and a wooden dummy for a while.
