Chapter 212: Chapter 212

"Do you need us to drive you back?" One of the officers asked the two of them.

Du You and Fang Shuo watched the police handle the scene with remarkable proficiency. It didn’t take long for the surrounding bodies and the shattered interference device to be loaded onto trucks and taken away collectively.

"That would be very kind of you." Du You nodded. He had run all the way here, running back would also be a hassle.

Self-driving cars don’t operate outside the city. The only ones who can leave the city are the police and the military.

So, Du You and Fang Shuo got on the police vehicle and flew back. However, on the way back, someone kept veiling inquiries, seemingly wanting to understand some of the hidden secrets behind this incident.

But Fang Shuo kept mum. He insisted that he didn’t know anything. And since Fang Shuo didn’t say anything, Du You, unclear of what Fang Shuo was thinking, didn’t say anything either, and this is how they returned to the city.

"Alright, try not to wander around these following days, if you recall anything, don’t hesitate to notify us at any time."

The two of them exited the flying vehicle, then the police flew away.

Du You asked in surprise: "Lao Er, you actually didn’t mention Lin Feng to them, that’s really hard to believe."

Fang Shuo said righteously: "Right! I come from a military family. My family has always told me, after reporting to the police, I must provide fair and observable statements of the facts, and not distort or fabricate them."

Du You felt his heart go cold. Since when did this bonehead ’Lao Er’ understand these things?

But the next moment, the corner of my eyes twitched. Fang Shuo, rubbing his head, said: "The most important thing is, it is our business. If we tell the police everything, it’s just like when kids fight and call their parents for help. I must get personal justice."

Du You understood. This was the real Lao Er, who doesn’t give a damn about rules.

But this was for the better; Du You had his own plans. After all, the Lin Family was one of the top families in their city. Their power within the city was terrifying. It was not something they could provoke casually.

To take on Lin Feng, merely exposing him to the police based on speculation is useless. Even if there was evidence, it may not be much use at all. If they wanted to deal with Lin Feng, they had to think of other ways.

It was really troublesome to not have powerful backers. People can easily find someone to deal with you, but you need to be cautious. If it attracts the intervention of the people, behind him, it will not be something they can resist. Besides, Du You also had to consider his own family, even though he didn’t know where his family was right now.

But maybe the Lin family could find them, so, he needed to take precautionary measures.

"Ah, I have to go rest now. I came out of the Derived World just to be tricked into coming here. Now, I just want to sleep. Oh right, you should quickly find another place too. If anything troubles you, feel free to come find me. You know where I live."

"I know, it’s fine." Du You waved his hand and took an auto-driving car home.

Next, Du You immediately rented a house online, just for a month. After that, Du You quietly packed up his things at home, set up numerous traps, and left.

If anyone broke into his house, he would certainly find something amiss when he got back.

As for the police, if they needed to find him, they could just contact him through the wristband.

Ordinary people couldn’t locate him through the wristband, but Du You didn’t believe that the police system had no means of locating it. Ordinary people don’t use it because it would be illegal for them to do so.

Pity, lower level wristbands couldn’t avoid it. Hopefully, when he reached a higher level and changed to a higher-grade wristband, he wouldn’t have this problem anymore.

Having packed everything, Du You left his house the very same day. Over the next few days, Du You did not leave his house, ate takeouts, and used all his time to cultivate his skills.

A few days later, Du You’s wristband flashed a notification. He opened it to take a look and got a shock.

Turns out, his item at the auction had been sold, but the price left Du You somewhat surprised. "That’s two hundred thousand? Red Crystal Coins! Am I seeing this right?" Du You’s eyes widened.

Red Crystal Coins weren’t something he could use right now. This currency was used at Hunter rank. It was of no use to him now. However, having twenty thousand Red Crystal Coins at the Awakener rank, if not unique, was definitely rare.

The exchange ratio was one Red Crystal Coin to a hundred White Crystal Coins. But there were many who wanted to exchange Red Crystal Coins while few traded White Crystal Coins using Red Crystal Coins, leading to a certain premium in the Black Market.

This huge fortune left Du You full of excitement.

The White Crystal Coins, however, weren’t as many. After selling the two Fang Knives, he only made a little over seventy thousand White Crystal Coins. As expected from an auction; the price was much higher than selling to regular buyers.

Adding the White Crystal Coins that the police sent over after dealing with the Blood Lotus weapon, for the first time, the amount of tradable White Crystal Coins he held exceeded a hundred thousand. But in terms of quantity, it still wasn’t as many as the Red Crystal Coins.

"This is like becoming rich overnight, is this how it feels to be a nouveau riche? No amount of hard work can compare to having good luck."

Yes, good luck. Without good fortune, he wouldn’t have been able to find a Giant Beast’s egg and wouldn’t have made so much. The auction house said that if it had been auctioned in a big city, the price would have been even higher.

Pity, now that the auction was over, all the things he couldn’t afford before but can afford now, are no longer available. This was so frustrating.

After calming himself down, Du You started cultivating again. Before the major examination, it was crucial to improve his strength as much as he can.

In the blink of an eye, over ten days had passed. That day, Du You finally felt the Law energy on himself disappearing.

Looking at his wristband, the school had been continually organizing activities recently, but they were just tasks in ordinary Derived Worlds. Doing them with other students no longer held any meaning for him.

Those who were truly capable wouldn’t bother about the school’s activities. They would organize their own.

But right now, Du You wasn’t sure whether the people from Blood Lotus could find him or not, so going to the city centre wasn’t a good idea. Du You thought for a moment, then took out a statue—a Goblin statue.
