Chapter 203: Chapter 203
Inside a spacious secret chamber, Du You summoned the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs.
Speaking of which, if it weren’t for the ample size of the room, the near four-meter-tall Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs wouldn’t fit in an ordinary room. The Demonic Dogs had a cold demeanor, showing no canine warmth whatsoever.
"Come, take a look, this was specifically crafted for you. It cost quite a bit," said Du You.
The Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs looked at Du You but showed no reaction, leaving him a bit frustrated. Du You decided to just open the interface and selected the equipment.
The bracelet-sized black collar started to visibly enlarge, continued to expand, and finally went around the neck of the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, widening considerably.
It looked like a normal proportioned collar rather than a piece of weird wire.
"Anything can happen in the world of professionals," Du You felt his concept of science collapsing.
As the collar was equipped, minor changes happened to the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs. A thin layer of dark mist seemed to wrap around its body. The mist was faint and mostly hidden within the fur, so it was hard to discern.
"Come, attack to let me see," he said.
Du You pointed at a wooden stake among a row of them, it was specifically used to test the strength of pets. The stake had intersecting marks, hinting it had been used quite often.
The Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs stepped forward, swiping its claw against the stake.
Du You saw that as they clawed, a thick black mist emerged on the claw, and a surge of dark flames ignited. Its claw hit the stake ferociously, leaving several marks. But the marks had remnants of the flame which gradually weakened, before eventually extinguishing.
"What a tough stake, what is it made of?" Du You was well aware of the strength of the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs.
In terms of normal strength, even a level 10 Giant Beast would fail to compare. Yet now, it only left a few faint marks on the stake, though they were slightly deeper than others.
Du You could not decipher the actual power of the flames. The stake held strong resistance; the flame only caused a slight trace. Du You cast a Fire Snake Curse and watched as it exploded; comparing the aftermath, he felt somewhat disappointed.
"The direct attack of the dark flame is far less powerful than the magic of the flame attribute. I wonder if this dark flame can cause other effects. I heard dark flames can make the targets feel more pain," he mused.
But this was merely hearsay, Du You couldn’t confirm it. It seemed like he had to find a target to test this thoroughly.
Du You put away the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, informed the blacksmith, and left. Now it was time to wait for the auction to end. Then, the auction house would deposit his earnings in his account.
While Du You was waiting, suddenly a message appeared on his wrist-watch.
"I found something good for you. Come to Qingbao Steel Factory immediately, you will be too late if you delay," it said.
The message was signed by Fang Shuo, Dormitory No.2 guy.
"Strange, what did he discover that got him so excited and secretive?" Du You wondered. The number the identifying number associated with the sender was not from the usual Device, but a public one.
These numbers were typically associated with public telephones and the like. Did the secrecy require this level? But it would be unwise to let something useful pass.
Du You knew that Dorm No.2 hated owing debts. Last time when he gave No. 2 wind element Dou Qi inheritance, he figured this time was for him to return the favor. He did not know what the good thing was, but Du You was looking forward to it. Something that could compare with the elemental Dou Qi inheritance wouldn’t be ordinary.
Stepping out, Du You hailed an autonomous car. "To the Qingbao Steel Factory."
Soon after, the autonomous car didn’t move, "What’s the matter? Why is it not moving? Did it break down? I remember that autonomous cars generally break down once every several decades, I couldn’t be that unlucky," he murmured.
Du You directly checked the autonomous car’s self-check device, but it showed no signs of malfunction.
Exasperated, Du You opened the car’s inquiry system. "Why aren’t you moving? Give me a reason."
A robotic voice responded, "Qingbao Steel Factory is located outside the city. All areas outside the city are off-limits to autonomous cars." Du You was taken aback, puzzled by this restriction.
The area outside the city, wasn’t that where danger lurked?
No wonder No.2’s activities were so clandestine. He had gone outside. The School had always warned them against going outside the city without sufficient power.
"Seems like I’m going to venture outside the city after all," Du You was confident about his strength.
He opened the map and soon found the location of the Qingbao Steel Factory. "It’s really remote, a full twenty kilometers from the western city gate," Du You made a quick calculation. Get full chapters from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Alright, take me to the western gate," he conceded. This time, the autonomous car started moving.
After some flying, when the autonomous car stopped, it was already at the western gate. The western gate was not in the city center. The defense wall there was exceptionally tall. This was the first time Du You had seen the city’s defense wall since arriving in this world. It was not made of stone but crafted from a special alloy.
Right now, it seems like just a city wall, but in an emergency, various weapons systems would appear, turning the city wall into a giant hedgehog.
There were numerous patrolling soldiers and inspectors at the city gate.
"Come, undergo the inspection," A soldier shouted at Du You as soon as he got off the car.
Du You could feel the strong pressure from these soldiers. He figured the outcome would be unimaginable if he offended them.
He walked forward and saw a large, peculiar machine embedded with Crystal Stones; flashing bright light enveloping him.
"No dangerous items detected, he’s a professional. Pass. Come to register," a soldier told him.
So that was it. But this check for dangerous items, could it really scan personal space? Du You flinched, realizing that his initial use of the Space Crystals was probably a wise decision.
