Chapter 68

Chapter 68: A Teammate

“他の「裏世界」の人と同じように、粗野で野蛮なのではないでしょうか。”

“I wonder if he will be cruel and barbaric like the other savages in the Inner World.”

This was the second time that Kamidai Sorane whispered in Japanese.

Qing Chen translated it as soon as he returned to the Outer World.

To be honest, he was a little confused about what this girl wanted.

“Looks like I need to learn Japanese well,” sighed Qing Chen.

She kept playing this kind of game right under his nose, yet he still couldn’t do anything about it.

From the current news, it seemed that only people from Japan and Korea transmigrated into the federation that he was in.

The other foreigners mostly transmigrated to their corresponding lands overseas.

The Forbidden Sea separated them, and no ships could possibly travel across.

So far, there were no cases of any foreigners that got transmigrated in China, so many foreigners have decided to return to their homeland hoping that they could be part of this “public beta testing.”

Qing Chen searched up more about news regarding Kamidai Sorane, and people of the Outer World didn’t seem to have found out that she was a time traveler yet.

This confused him. The girl was a star in Japan, and no matter how infamous of a star she was, she was still a star.

So, how come no one found out?

Was it that she had been hiding in the Inner World, and not many people saw her?

His bedroom was about as big as the visiting room back in the prison.

He had the feeling that she chose to visit him in the Inner World because she wasn’t happy.

She might have come to visit simply to avoid the reality she had to face outside.

Qing Chen also suddenly realized that when he was sitting with the girl, he was in his most relaxed state.

He didn’t have to worry about talking and fighting.

He didn’t have to think about survival in the Inner World. It was as if this half an hour in the visiting room had nothing to do with the outside world.

It was as if he finally got a chance to breathe.

Maybe, that was what the girl was thinking, too.

Qing Chen glanced at his arm. Countdown 47:55:01.

Another two days. The time between transmigration seemed to be fluctuating randomly.

There was the broken kitchen knife lying on the ground. It was the one that he attempted to bring to the Inner World last time.

Remembering that he hadn’t done his training today yet, Qing Chen searched for a Japanese learning course online and started training while listening to the course.

Three o’clock in the morning, when he had just taken a shower and opened his phone, the social media seemed to have exploded with the news.

“Liu Dezhu returned to the Outer World and was found screaming in his home!”

“The terrifying scream has already lasted for three hours straight. What has happened to this ‘Protagonist of the Inner World?’”

By dawn, paparazzi already crowed in front of Liu Dezhu’s house.

While going to school, Liu Dezhu felt like he was walking the red carpet. Cameras of all sizes lined up beside him.

Before, the paparazzi still restrained themselves a little, but now, they were shoving their cameras into his face.

However, he wasn’t in a handsome suit and was on a broken bike.

The back tire of the bike was crooked from the attack he experienced that day under the bridge, making him look like he was lacking momentum.

A reporter stopped Liu Dezhu and asked, “Hello, I’m Luo City Daily’s Xin Shanglong, may I ask what happened to you yesterday? Were you hurt in the Inner World?”

“No,” said Liu Dezhu as he hurriedly pushed his bike out.

“If you weren’t hurt, then why did you scream?” asked the reporter.

Liu Dezhu stopped talking and just tried to push through the crowd.

More and more people were gathering around him. This time, not only were there paparazzi, but his neighbors also came to see what was going on.

Someone said, “Look, it’s the kid that screamed until five in the morning. I heard that he’s amazing in the Inner World.”

Liu Dezhu felt that his face was burning, and he finally gave the crowd a strong push. To his surprise, the people standing in front of him were immediately thrown away, and a couple of cameras were broken.

The crowd was stunned, and even Liu Dezhu himself was stunned.

There were at least seven or eight people standing in front of him, and even though none of them expected this, the push that he didn’t even use his full power was too shocking.

Liu Dezhu panicked, and while the others were still dazed, he hopped on his bike and left for the school.

After he got away, he started thinking to himself.

In fact, he wasn’t in as much of a panic as he appeared to be, because the time traveler in the cat mask already told him what to expect and what he had to do.

To prove that he already got Li Shutong’s teachings, he had to demonstrate his skills a little.

As for what Li Shutong’s teachings were, no one knew anyway.

Or, if it wasn’t his teachings, his approval was enough.

Liu Dezhu thought that the time traveler seemed to have planned out everything ahead of time, and no wonder that the person got Liu Dezhu’s approval while he didn’t.

He saw online that genetic injections were very rare, but for him, he just simply requested and the cat mask time traveler was able to get him one in no time.

It only took one day.

This god-like power gave Liu Dezhu some confidence.

It was like a video game. It was alright if he was a bit trash, as long as he could find a good teammate, he could still climb the leaderboard.

However, Liu Dezhu still wasn’t sure how OP this boss of his got.

While in the confinement room, he couldn’t get any information about the outside world.

Although yesterday’s pain almost made him want to die, the effects of the genetic injection were still impressive. With just an hour of rest, Liu Dezhu was already back to his finest state with a full bar of health.

Walking into his classroom, Liu Dezhu left something was wrong.

This time, no one paid attention to him. Everyone was looking down at their phones.

Someone sent a message into the class group chat, and it was a TikTok video made by someone named “Roaming King”:

After eight years, Li Shutong came out of the prison to have dinner with a young man in a cat mask on the top floor of the Eternal Tower.

Li Shutong ate a serving of braised pork, and the cat-masked man ate a bowl of noodles.

It was said that the direct decedent of the Chen Family, a Level A master, Chen Yehu came to ask them to leave and return to Prison 18.

At the same time, Qing Family and Li Family military bases also responded. Someone also spotted Qing Family’s “Land Scouter” in the air.

It was known that the Land Scouter was used to contain the forbidden item ACE-009, but no one saw what this forbidden item was.

So, it was highly possible that the Qing Family was planning to use this forbidden item to deal with Li Shutong that day.

So far, the cat-masked man’s identity is still a mystery, and the reason why Li Shutong came out is also unknown, but this event caused great unrest in the entire federation.

Seeing this news, Liu Dezhu was shocked in place.

Looks like his understanding of his boss was still lacking.
