“Nothing serious, it was just that I heard Sister Chu say that her son is sick at home earlier on, and she wanted to get some food for her son. I am a public servant, and it’s my duty to enforce the GCH’s policy, so I am just here to visit Sister Chu and her son. Also, I have brought the food that belongs to Sister Chu’s son,” Lu Yaming had already prepared the excuse, he was positive that they wouldn’t be able to find any problem with this excuse. What he did was just following the policy.
He then gave the congee box to Chu Han right after he finished.
“Commissioner Lu, this…” Chu Han was surprised to see what she received, it was definitely more than what she should have gotten. There was even a tin of beef.
Chu Han glanced at Chu Yunsheng. This person was obviously here for him. Lu Yaming didn’t even want to give her one more extra ladle of congee earlier, when she begged so hard!
“Sister Chu, the rest of it is just a small thing for your kid, he needs nutrition. Everyone’s life is difficult at the moment, so we should help each other,” Lu Yaming said while pointing at Jing Yi.
“I, on behalf of my aunt, thank you, Commissioner Lu,” Chu YunSheng took out a box of cigarettes and gave out a few of them, “commissioner Lu, let’s talk outside, this place is too small, and my aunt doesn’t like the smell of cigarettes.”
“Of course, of course,” Commissioner Lu saw Chu Yunsheng instruct Chu Han to accept the gift, he was finally relieved. When he just came in, he was shocked to see what kind of food they were eating.
Rice, meat, soup, vegetables, only the high ranking officials in GCH were able to eat those foods.
“Commissioner Lu, may I ask which Dark Warrior Security Guard (DWSG) is in charge of this area?” said Chu Yunsheng.
DWSG was the name that GCH gave to those dark warrior gangs, Chu Yunsheng had already gotten that information from Duan Danian. He did not mind commissioner Lu coming to visit him at all. Knowing someone who worked for GCH had a lot of advantages. At least, their information usually was the most detailed.
“Fang Kui is in charge of security in this area. He is a Rank-two Bing-class(1) dark warrior. He used to be a butcher. There aren’t many good things that he can get from here, so he does not have many dark warriors following him. Instead, he gathered a group of ordinary people.” Lu Yaming did not think that Chu Yunsheng would be interested in this area. With the GRD badges he had, he could get a flat in those key protected zones. He was not a dark warrior, so he did not need the territory to get some food.
“Hmm, Fang Kui, commissioner Lu, I need a favour from you, you are the commissioner of this area, so you are definitely familiar with this area, I want to use some food to buy a house, can you help me to find a seller? You see. My aunt’s living condition is very poor, she needs a better place.” Chu Yunsheng nodded his head and said.
Rank-two Bing-class. It seemed like it was the weakest class in the rank-two. At least Duan Danian was Yi-class. So he was not worried at all.
“What? Are you planning to stay here permanently?” Lu Yaming was surprised, he couldn’t figure out why a GRD researcher would like to live in a place like this.
“That’s right, this place is quite good actually, my auntie’s neighbours are all here. ” Chu Yunsheng said slowly.
“If you really plan to live here, tomorrow, I’ll ask around and see if there is anyone who wants to sell a house. I am just worried that you don’t like the house in this area,” said Lu Yaming. Although he had a lot of questions, he did not dare to ask him. Also if there was a GRD researcher living in his territory, he would also have a chance to get to know more people in the GRD, so there was no way he would want to ruin such an opportunity.
“It does not matter, as long as the rooms are clean, and the house is bigger than the one we have right now. Oh right… I don’t want the flat in the tall buildings, my aunt’s health isn’t very good, it will be very hard for her to climb up and down the stairs,” said Chu Yun Sheng.
Actually, he wanted a house that did not attach to any other buildings. It was much safer for him to live in that kind of house. It would also save him a lot of troubles. However, this was the main city area, there weren’t many houses available.
“Okay, if I got anything, I’ll inform you. Sorry, I just got your surname earlier, may I ask, what is your first name?” Lu Yaming readily answered.
Originally, he just wanted to come by and give them some food to make up what he did earlier. He hoped that in this way, they would forget what he did. But he did not expect this person would like to stay in the shanty town.
He was overjoyed when he found out that Chu Yunsheng was not joking. After all, he was just a commissioner. It was the lowest management position in GCH. Moreover, he knew that the food shortage problem was only going to become more and more acute. If he could not get to the higher level, his glorious day would be over soon.
Especially recently, he had already noticed some signs. The supply that he got from GCH was getting fewer and fewer, and the gaps between each supply also became longer and longer.
“Chu Yunsheng.”
“Okay, Mr.Chu, you can also tell your auntie that she does not need to queue for the congee anymore, once our district got the food supply, we will ask someone to send it over,” although Lu Yaming knew GRD researcher had a decent amount of food supply, he still mentioned this. Who knows when he might need something from Chu Yunsheng in the future, “You may carry on, I need to leave first, the district still has some stuff that needs me to sort out.”
After Lu Yaming left, Duan Danian also left. It was almost 1:00. Even though they were dark warriors, they had been staying in Green Dragon mountain for some time now, they still needed a break. As for collecting the insect’s bodies, Duan Danian accepted it straight away. Compared to robbing people, Chu Yunsheng’s request was less risky.
Regarding the deal, he and Chu Yunsheng had agreed to meet in Green Dragon mountain three days later to collect the insect’s bodies.
The sound of artillery strike coming from the far distance only appeared for a short period of time, but it still reminded everyone inside the city that the insects were still trying to push forward.
Chu Yunsheng patted the little tiger’s head, “are you hungry? It is time to feed you.”
Of course, the little tiger did not understand what Chu Yunsheng said, but when he took out the meat, the little tiger immediately jumped onto him to tear the meat.
In the low shanty, the only light source was a flashlight. Although it was not bright, it was enough for them to see everything. Auntie and Jing Tian were doing the cleaning, but on the table, there was still a box of food.
Chu Yunsheng walked over to take a look, it was the congee that Lu Yaming sent over. There were some potatoes and meat on the top of congee. It seemed like auntie left it on the table on purpose. Chu Yunsheng remembered that when they were eating, there wasn’t anything left.
“Auntie, what is this?” Chu Yunsheng was curious.
“Oh, that’s for sister Liu, since your uncle passed away, and Xiao Yi was injured, Sister Liu helped us a lot.” Chu Han closed the lid and sighed, “now you are back, and also brought this much food,” she thought for a second and carried on, “Originally, we want to invite her to come over to eat with us, but there were too many people here, so I just left some food for her. Tomorrow Jing Tian will send it over to her house. Sister Liu’s life is also very hard, she has an 8 years old kid, her man was recruited by the military to fight the insects outside, but died outside the city, they did not even get to see the body. Sigh… It was all because of the insects ”
“Mhm,” Chu Yunsheng responded. What he thought was very simple, even if it was just a little help from others, he would return the favour when others were in need.
“Yunsheng, auntie regrets not listening to your advice, otherwise, your uncle would still be alive. This is all my fault.” Chu Han felt gloomy, but soon she recovered, “Oh right, are you a researcher now? Why do those dark warriors seem to be very scared of you?”
“Yeah, I saved a professor’s life on the way here, he is now a special rank researcher in GRD. He gave me a junior researcher’s ID to me in return. I am actually a dark warrior, I just haven’t registered with the dark warrior headquarters.” Chu Yunsheng briefly explained.
At the moment, he did not plan to tell auntie the secret about the ancient book. The information he gathered from the book told him that the cultivation method was not suitable for the talentless ordinary people, who were not awakened. The reason why Chu Yunsheng’s cultivation speed was so fast was because of the magic circle inside the book.
The magic circle was activated when Tian Gui got closer to Earth. It was at the time when the book glowed the first time. The light from the magic circle also helped Chu Yunsheng break down the multidimensional barriers that prevented him from cultivating Yuan Qi. It was the reason why even though he was not talented, he could still cultivate Yuan Qi.
At that time, he did not realise that the formal cultivation process should be: The practitioner should use the magic spell repeatedly to communicate with Yuan Qi in the multidimensional space first.
The objective of the first step was to break down the multidimensional barriers. During this stage, the practitioner’s cultivation speed would be very slow. Until the barriers were completely destroyed, then Yuan Tian stage one, Chú Yuán Body would be finally completed.
Originally, he was also very curious about why Yuan Tian stage two would be called Rong Yuan Body. Only until later on when he learned more words in the book, did he realize that Yuan Tian stage one also had its name. It was called Chú Yuán Body.
The magic circle inside this book could only be activated once. When the senior practitioner made the book, he did not have much Yuan Qi left to make a better magic circle. That was why the book would not be able to help his aunt and cousins to break down the barriers.
They could use the incantations in the book to slowly break down the barrier, but this process would be very slow, it could be a year, two years, or it might be a lifetime. This was why the senior practitioner said that the journey of cultivation was extremely hard.
That was also one of the reasons why he did not plan to tell his auntie the secret about the ancient book at the moment.
He was thinking that when he reached Yuan Tian stage three, he would probably be able to make a high-level talisman called Channel Creation talisman. It was a type of talisman that could create a channel to help Yuan Tian stage one practitioner to communicate with Tian Di Yuan Qi. Although it technically did not break down the barriers, at least, their cultivation speed would become faster.
