Chapter 950: Chapter 950
Although Du You had already made the next plan, he did not immediately set off. On one hand, they didn’t have the coordinates for the Giant Beast World, which needed to be purchased, and the price wasn’t low within the range of the Capital.
Because the Giant Beast World was vast and also an Otherworld of tier seven or above. If that world wasn’t so special, there would have been people wanting to gradually take control of it by now. But there was no helping it, even if someone took control, because Heavenly Disaster Beasts would constantly emerge there without any way to control them, and the losses would far outweigh the gains.
Besides the world coordinates, Du You had other things to do, such as establishing his own city with the help of the university. In this world, he would no longer be someone completely without influence.
It was just a pity that he couldn’t reach his parents or sister to share his full heart of joy with, which left Du You somewhat depressed. In the end, he could only find comfort in the two sisters.
The next day, after Du You had rested, he prepared to dispose of some of his belongings in the market and waited with the two sisters for the Law aura on their bodies to dissipate. On the university’s side, they had already started planning the new city with Li Minglu.
These matters were not something Du You planned to meddle in; he just needed to take care of his own affairs.
During this time, Li Minglu continued to meet people from other universities. They signed many agreements and contracts, gradually establishing his own network of relationships.
Because of the tier six Guardian Giant, some people who were initially undecided finally resolved to join his territory. The new company was also gradually taking shape with Li Minglu’s help.
Du You was too lazy to come up with a name and simply used his own, naming it Du You Otherworldly Development Company. Most development companies in this world are about developing Other Worlds, which was evident from their names.
Since it was completely controlled, Earth’s time had completely overlapped with that of the Giant World. A day here was a day there; there were no rapid time fluctuations.
After the development of the Giant World, this semester was about to end, and he was finally no longer a freshman. Once this holiday was over, he was going to be a second-year student.
What Du You didn’t expect was that, just when he had finally managed to rest for a few days, unexpected visitors would come knocking. This time it was the Ghost King who took the lead, and who knows how these people managed to get in touch with this classmate.
But when these people came to his home, Du You roughly understood why. The visitors were from the Dark Night Mercenary Group, and it seemed likely that the Ghost King had already locked onto this mercenary group, probably planning to join them later.
The person leading the group was someone Du You did not recognize, but he did recognize someone behind that person. Wasn’t that Gan Mu, who had initiated a pursuit to kill him once? If he hadn’t had the Resurrection Doll on him, he would have been killed by him back then.
But now, Du You also being at tier four, he believed that Gan Mu was definitely not his match.
"I wonder what business you have with me?" Although the person leading them put a great deal of pressure on Du You and he was certain he was no match for him, this was the Capital, where he definitely wouldn’t dare do anything to him.
"Hello, I am Qiu Yu, a sub-group leader of the Dark Night Mercenary Group. There has been some misunderstanding between us previously, and we have come specifically to apologize," said Sub-group Leader Qiu Yu, with a very humble attitude.
Du You’s eyes narrowed slightly; although this guy was not tier five, he was already very close. To lower his stance so much indicated that Du You’s reputation had truly risen greatly. A tier five territory protected by a tier six Guardian Giant was a substantial foundation. Dark Night Mercenary Group, which previously didn’t care much about him, had now started to take him seriously.
Perhaps the Dark Night Mercenary Group as a whole still wouldn’t consider him a major threat, but the Capital branch probably thought differently. Are they worried that he would grow to impact their operations?
Qiu Yu signaled with his eyes, and Gan Mu immediately stepped forward and opened the box. "This is our gesture of sincerity." Inside the box wasn’t something else but a human head, one that Du You found somewhat familiar.
"We’ve investigated; this member who infiltrated our mercenary group is called Lin Ming, from the Lin Family of Cloud City back in your hometown. He suspected his brother’s disappearance was related to you, so he deliberately instigated us against you. Now, we’ve taken his life for you." Du You’s eyes narrowed slightly; these people were really ruthless.
To kill their own member so readily showed why their reputation was so poor. But after all, they were a legion, not a regular company, and such ferocity was probably also intended as a deterrence toward him.
But Du You sneered inwardly; it was just an expendable person, while Gan Mu, who had reached tier four, was the main force behind the pursuit to kill him, and they had no intention to fight, just apologizing and letting it go?
"Furthermore, we have heard that you are contacting asteroids to purchase a backyard for yourself. This 800-kilometer diameter asteroid, Garden Star, is our compensation gift to you."
Du You’s eyes narrowed slightly; they had investigated extensively, understanding the situation so quickly, which must be an act of intimidation on their part. An asteroid’s value is very high, especially one that had already begun to be developed, but it was nothing much for a large force. There are many asteroids and regular planets in outer space, and their prices are generally not high, though gaining a firm foothold is more difficult.
Of course, while the asteroid might not be very valuable, it could save him a lot of time and was very useful to him, something he couldn’t refuse. It looked like they had correctly assessed the situation.
"I see your sincerity, and let’s consider the past matter settled, just as long as he doesn’t trouble me anymore." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Rest assured, we do not wish to oppose Capital University." The implication was that they truly feared Capital University and not him, showing a lack of regard for him.
After leaving the items, Qiu Yu also took the others and left his home.
"Master, are you really going to let him go? He’s the one who harmed us..."
Du You sneered, "Of course not, but Dark Night Legion is powerful, and now is not the time to turn against them. We still need time to strengthen our power; I will take my revenge someday."
Du You was someone who would repay both kindness and vengeance; how could he let go of a grudge against someone who had pursued him to kill him? He wasn’t someone who placed interests above all else. But for now, he truly was no match for them, so it was better to stabilize the situation. Du You believed that since they had lost so much face to him, they would definitely not let it rest; this was probably just a show for Capital University.
