[…]
Early in the morning, in the humid Tang City.
A figure wrapped in a black robe was walking in a hurry.
Wherever he passed, passersby stopped and looked.
It was Chen Yu.
Although Chen Yu’s face, body, and even ankles were hidden, the more people looked at him, the more they liked him.
Some of the girls could not help but chase after him and kept waving their phones.
“Handsome? Big Brother!”
“Handsome? Add me on WeChat?”
“It could also be a girl.”
“A girl? Add her on WeChat…”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman. I just want to add them on WeChat…”
Chen Yu: “…”
Hearing the discussions behind him, Chen Yu could only speed up. After a few turns, he threw the ‘suitors’ away.
“Looks like I still have to put on another layer.”
As he spoke, he entered an empty alley, pulled open his backpack, and pulled out another black robe. He put it on tightly.

As expected.
The effect was immediate.
After putting on another piece of clothing, as he walked on the street, the frequency of the electronic synthesized sound reverberating in his ears suddenly decreased by a lot.
“This curse is really troublesome.”
Clumsily taking a step forward, Chen Yu sighed.
This was already the fifth robe that he had put on.
Although he had delayed his actions, he had no other choice.
When he had just entered the city in the morning, because he had only put on one robe, he had directly caused a sensation at the city gate!
Regardless of whether it was men, women, young or old, including dogs that were walking around, as long as their eyes saw his figure, they would pounce on him like zombies.
The women would kiss him without saying a word.
The men would bow to him without saying a word.
This made Chen Yu very passive.
Therefore, he learned from his mistakes.
He could only try his best to put on clothes to cover his entire body.
Even so, he could not stay on a street for long.
Otherwise, after the passersby accumulated enough favorability, they would chase after him and harass him…
Patter.
Patter…
Stepping on his heavy horse boots, Chen Yu ‘laboriously’ walked into a chat bar.
In the two days he spent in the alien realm of Bodhi Island, his cell phone battery ran out.
The purpose of entering Tang City was to contact Ma Li and ask her to arrange a flight back to Qingcheng.
“You are…”
Seeing Chen Yu walk in, the old lady sitting behind the bar looked him up and down. “Are you calling or robbing?”
“…Calling.”
“Oh, then you call. The one on my left.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Striding forward with his ‘big crotch’, Chen Yu picked up the microphone. After thinking for a while, he recalled Ma Li’s phone number and quickly dialed it.
At the side, the old lady behind the counter was staring unblinkingly at Chen Yu.
Her suspicious gaze became gentler and gentler.

Chen Yu: “…”
Before the call connected, Chen Yu turned his head and asked, “Grandma, how old are you this year?”
“95.”
“Oh, then take care of yourself.”
“Mm-hmm.”

Du —
“Hello?”
Finally. On the other end of the receiver, Ma Li’s voice sounded. “This is Ma Ma’s phone. Who are you looking for?”
“I’m Chen Yu.”
“Brother Yu! Are you Brother Yu?”
“It’s me.”
Ma Li was pleasantly surprised. “The problem on your end has been solved?”
“Yes, it’s been solved.”
“Ah… That’s great. We called you this morning, but your phone was switched off. We couldn’t get through. We were all afraid that you would be taken to Shanghai. That would be terrible.”
“I told you not to worry about me. Where are you now?”
“Qingcheng.”
“Qingcheng?” Chen Yu was stunned. “So soon?”
“Yes, we took the Chengfeng Express.” Ma Li explained, “We just arrived. If you had called three hours in advance, you wouldn’t have been able to contact us.”
“Where’s my sister and BB? Are they with you?”
“No, when we entered the city, we went back to our respective homes. Give them a call later. They are very worried about you.”
“Yes, I’ll call them later.”
“When will you be back?”
“I plan to go back now.” Chen Yu paused and covered the microphone. He turned around to look at the old lady whose expression was getting weirder and weirder, and continued, “The sooner the better.”
“Then… I’ll book a ticket for you?”
“Okay.”
“Where are you?”
“Tang City.”
“Okay.” On the other end of the microphone, Ma Li answered and then shouted, “Sister, Brother Yu is in Tang City. Book a ticket for him to come back to Qingcheng.”
“Ah? Brother Yu is back?!”
Along with an exclamation that was getting closer and closer, on the other end of the microphone, Ma Li was replaced by Ma Yan. “Brother Yu! Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Help me book a ticket later. The kind that can hide my identity.”
“No problem! I’ll send the ticket to your WeChat.”
Pa pa pa…
From the microphone came Ma Yan’s voice. She was patting her chest. “You can absolutely trust me.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Brother Yu, you really worried us to death. I couldn’t contact you these two days. I thought you were brought to Shanghai and buried together with Shanghai.”
At the side, the old lady’s heaving chest made Chen Yu nervous. He was getting impatient and said vaguely, “Okay. You book the tickets first. I’ll find a place to charge it later. Then we’ll contact WeChat… later.”
Chen Yu took back the phone he was about to hang up on. “What did you say? Buried with Shanghai? What buried with Shanghai?”
“Ah? Brother Yu, don’t you know?”
“What happened?”
“Shanghai was wiped out by the Beast Tide.”
Chen Yu: “???”
“Don’t listen to her bullsh*t.” On the other end of the phone, Ma Li hurriedly took over the microphone and explained, “It wasn’t wiped out. It was just that the Beast Tide came.”
“If it came, it would be wiped out sooner or later too,” Ma Yan retorted indignantly.
Chen Yu: “…”
Holding the microphone, Chen Yu asked the old lady behind the bar counter, “Grandma, is there a Beast Tide coming from Shanghai?”
“Oh?” The old lady came back to her senses. Hiding her heart, she cleared her throat. “Yes, yes. Look at the news. It’s three or four in the morning.”
“Three or four in the morning… Today?”
“Yes.”
“…” Chen Yu subconsciously clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes. “How is it now?”
“When the Beast Tide came ashore, the signal disappeared. Now…” The old lady rubbed her face. “I think it’s over.”
Kacha.
Chen Yu held the microphone until it creaked. He continued to say to Ma Li, “When did you guys hear this news?”
“A day ago. At that time, we were riding a hitchhiker convoy through Stone City and heard it from the locals. Then, we went online and found out that it was true. Your sister was so anxious that she cried, afraid that you would be brought to Shanghai.”
“The Beast Tide at three or four in the morning…” Chen Yu raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall. His expression was unsightly. “It’s half-past seven now.”
“Yeah.” Ma Li was melancholic. “Shanghai… I think it’s already doomed.”
“Why is it so urgent? The Beast Tide is coming. We should have warned them in advance, especially in the last big city like Shanghai.”
“According to the news, the Beast Tide came from the sea…”
“…”
After swearing, Chen Yu buried his head and his brain worked at an extremely fast speed.
First of all, Shanghai could not be destroyed.
That city and the high-level martial artists in the city were humanity’s last trump cards.
Once the Beast Tide was wiped out, Chen Yu did not need to go through any trouble.
He could totally type GG ahead of time.
“…”
“…”
“Handsome?” At this moment, seeing Chen Yu lowering his head and not saying a word, the old lady thought that she had found an opportunity to strike up a conversation. She took out her phone and waved it. “Handsome, can you add me on WeChat?”
“…”
“Add me on WeChat?”
“…You’re so old…”
“It’s okay. We martial artists have good health. Besides, there’s no hope in this world anymore. I’d rather die from the addiction.”
“…”
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu raised his head and met the old lady’s gaze.
Feeling the other party’s ‘hot’ gaze, the old lady’s cheeks flushed red as she said bashfully, “Ah… I just want to… Get to know you…”
“A woman at thirty like a wolf.”
“A woman at forty like a tiger.”
“A woman at ninety like an exotic beast…”
Her slightly narrowed eyes gradually sparkled.
Chen Yu’s thoughts flew.
‘The effect of the [Curse] is to attract the pursuit and attacks of all living beings within a certain period of time.’
‘If it were me, I would gain the favorability of all living beings.’
‘Then…’
‘Is it effective against exotic beasts?’
‘No matter how I look at it, exotic beasts should also be considered living beings…’
With this thought in mind, Chen Yu made a prompt decision and said into the microphone, “Ma Li, I won’t be returning to Qingcheng for the time being.”
“Ah?”
“Get me a ticket to Shanghai.”
“You… What are you doing?” Ma Li panicked.
“I’m going to Shanghai as soon as possible.”
“Do you want to die? Besides, Shanghai has already banned flying for a long time.”
“…Right.” Chen Yu reacted.
It had been at least three hours since the Beast Tide attacked.
Even if they could take a plane, it would be too late for them to cover thousands of miles.
‘Am I going to run there…’
Chen Yu’s expression was serious.
In terms of movement speed, a martial artist was usually much faster than a vehicle.
It was just that their strength was limited and could not last long.
However, Chen Yu was affected by the [World Curse]. He could ignore the consumption of his strength and continue to increase his speed.
“Alright, I got it.”
Having made his decision, Chen Yu put down the phone, “You guys don’t have to wait for me. I won’t be returning to Qingcheng for the time being. After that, don’t tell my sister about this.”
“Chen Yu! What… What are you doing?” Ma Li’s voice was sharp.
Padah.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu turned around and left.
He didn’t know what he was going to do.
He didn’t even know what he was going to do when he arrived at the battlefield.
Was he going to lure the exotic beasts away?
Or participate in the battle?
He didn’t have a precise idea either.
He only knew that Shanghai couldn’t die.
Dong!
The force exploded, and the whirlwind whistled.
Chen Yu used all the energy in his dantian to pour his Qi into his limbs and bones.
“Shanghai’s direction… is that way.”
Facing the south, Chen Yu bent his knees slightly.
His whole body was like a spring.
“Little… Little brother…” The old lady who was talking caught up. “WeChat!”
“Thank you.”
Chen Yu took the other party’s phone and pushed the old lady away. Then, he said, “I’ll return your phone when I come back.”
Boom!
He shot up into the sky.
The terrifying recoil created a huge crater on the ground.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh —
In the blink of an eye.
The wind blew against his face.
As Chen Yu ran, he tore the layers of long robes into pieces. In the end, only one piece was left.
At the same time, he opened the old lady’s phone and clicked on Wicked Map to navigate.
[Welcome to Wicked Map.]
[Wicked Map, continue to guide you blind.]
[Please continue the current road section, continue to drive 8.6 kilometers…]
[Current speed limit is 60. You have exceeded the speed limit.]
[Current speed is 393.]
Pa!
“Martial Arts — Leap of Faith!”
Rumble…
[Current speed: 447. You have exceeded… Take-off. Please drive safely.]
“This speed…”
“No.”
“I won’t make it in time.”
Feeling the wind resistance that was gradually turning into a liquid state…
Chen Yu’s expression was unsightly as he subconsciously reached into his backpack.
In his backpack, there was the national treasure revolver.
The revolver was filled with five bullets.
“Five bullets, if I add the Enlightenment skill…”
“…”
“That’s all I can do.”
Without further consideration, Chen Yu pressed his palms together.
“Don’t cause me any trouble, I beg you.”
“Martial Technique — Enlightenment!”
“Boom!”
[Unknown state bonus: Temporary Increase in IQ -48%]
[Triggered stun: Temporary Speed +53%]
White flames burned all over his body.
Chen Yu’s eagle-like eyes gradually focused. A pair of intelligent eyes appeared.
“This big idiot!”
Zhi zhi —
His body stopped and his footsteps stopped.
Chen Yu’s cold and arrogant gaze swept across the phone screen and he shook his head repeatedly.
“Fish lips.”
“It’s really fish lips.”
“How sad is that?”
“This god will actually live together with this idiot.”
“If you run to Shanghai, all three of your legs will be worn out by you.”
“Is the gap between man and god really so huge?”
Sighing, Chen Yu reached out his hand, clicked on the screen, and exited the navigation.
He entered the words ‘military base’ in the search bar.
He immediately found the nearest military camp.
“Yes, this.”
[The destination is set for the Military District of Tang City.]
“33.8 kilometers away from you…”
Dong!
The strong Qi whistled and pushed Chen Yu forward.
Following the scene of him retreating rapidly, he crossed a distance of 30 kilometers in a few minutes and arrived at a military camp outside the city.
Bang!
His feet landed steadily on the city wall.
Chen Yu closed his eyes and concentrated his Qi in his dantian. His voice shook the entire area.
“I once crossed the boundless deep sky.”
“I also once soared in the deep sea.”
“Not to become a legend.”
“Just to find a bosom friend.”
“As for the defeat ten thousand years later? History has long been decided.”
“The body will eventually rot. Only god is that immortal existence…”
The military camp: “…”
Not long after, the soldiers poked their heads out and looked at Chen Yu with their mouths agape.
Pa!
He opened his eyes!
His deep eyes contained wisdom that humans could not understand.
“Sacrifice in exchange for the dawn.”
“Use your life in exchange for hope.”
“No matter how many centuries of reincarnation, no matter how far away they are… As long as their souls resonate, they will still be able to awaken god’s compassion for the world.”
The soldiers :”…”
“Are you ready?”
Opening his arms, Chen Yu’s gaze moved the universe. “Mortals far away in Shanghai…”
“Wait for god’s rescue…”
…
Whoosh!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…
Five minutes later.
A strategic mid-range missile was fired from the cannon.
The surging flames gave the missile endless kinetic energy as it flew straight into the sky!
A figure was lying firmly on the missile.
The fierce wind blew his clothes and hair off.
However, it couldn’t cover his arrogant and cool smile.
“I’m as handsome as the east wind.”
“I’m as fast as the rocket.”
“Only the missile…”
“Is worthy of god’s mount…”
