Breakthrough, Seistia Takes Off
After receiving five Blazing Radiance Crystals and a palm-sized Jade Tablet sealing the will of the king from the logistics department, Chen Chu fell into deep thought.
He sensed that the incident with Keluoya and the recent cleanup of the Cultists of the Evil God were likely preparations for the god-making project.
This was to prevent these guys from causing trouble later on.
However, instead of retreating for seclusion after acquiring the resources, Chen Chu took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and dialed Zhang Xiaolan's number.
Now that the mission was complete, there was no need for secrecy.
Before long, a slightly surprised voice from Zhang Xiaolan came through the line, “A Chu, are you done with your business?”
A smile appeared on Chen Chu's face as he replied gently, “Yeah, I’m done. Mom, are you and Ah Hu doing well at home?”
“There’s nothing much at home. By the way, A Chu, I got promoted again! My salary has risen to twenty-eight thousand, and work isn’t as busy as it used to be.”
“Haha, that’s good! Looks like your company’s boss has a good eye for talent.”
“By the way, A Chu, how about your brother’s phone?”
“Right.”
“Give it to me, give it to me.”
Today was Sunday, and Chen Hu didn’t have school. With the sun blazing in the afternoon, he didn't go out fishing. Normally, this guy would only go out at night when it got hot.
Soon after, Chen Hu's excited voice came through, “Bro, when are you coming back?”
This guy was still as loud as ever. A gentle smile appeared on Chen Chu’s face, “In a few days. I need to go into seclusion to break through.”
“Bro, you’re going to break through again!?” Chen Hu exclaimed.
“Sort of.”
“Haha, just like you! When I saw you explode that nine-headed blood python with a single strike, I almost punched my computer in excitement.”
“Uh… take it easy. Have you been getting stronger lately?” Chen Chu asked.
As for being recognized by Chen Hu and the others, Chen Chu had anticipated this. After all, he hadn’t completely changed his appearance; he had only slightly adjusted some facial features.
Chen Hu replied, “I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been eating more lately, but I feel much stronger. By the way, the exotic beast meat you sent back is almost gone.”
Sure enough, this guy was about to awaken.
Chen Chu thought to himself and casually said, “There will be someone delivering more exotic beast meat later, so don’t worry.”
When they entered the Exotic Beast Battlefield earlier, Chen Chu had already made arrangements with the logistics department at his school to regularly send back a batch of ordinary exotic beast meat with moderate energy.
As for the cost, it would be deducted from his contribution points.
At that time, Chen Chu was already the top freshman at the school, so the logistics department wouldn’t refuse such a small favor, and he wasn’t the only one doing this.
The two brothers chatted for a while longer, with Chen Hu asking about some battle-related matters, before finally hanging up.
Next, Chen Chu pulled out Luo Fei's number.
Luo Fei's sudden departure had caught Chen Chu by surprise.
However, since her aunt had personally come to take her away, Chen Chu wasn’t too worried; he was just a bit puzzled.
Now that he was done with his business, he naturally wanted to check in. After all, they were good friends.
But when Chen Chu called, he was greeted with “Sorry, the phone you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.”
“Is she in seclusion?” Chen Chu sent her a message: “I’ll come find you in a few days.”
After thinking for a moment and finding nothing else to do, he finally walked into the training room.
As the heavy door closed behind him, the hundred-square-meter training room fell into silence, with only a dim white light flickering in the center.
Chen Chu sat cross-legged in the middle, took out two fist-sized golden crystals, their insides resembling flames as golden energy flickered, emitting astonishing energy waves.
