This Curse Is Just Awesome-Chapter 296 - The Opportunity Of Resurrection (1)

Under Chen Yu's warm invitation, everyone except the maid took their seats.

As they ate, they talked about the recent situation.

In the south, as the power of the officials gradually gathered, the country began to take control of the cities and provinces with Shanghai as the center.

In the north, it was still in a chaotic phase.

Without the restrictions of the officials, they lost hope for the future. All the forces were seeking revenge.

Bloody conflicts would occur every day.

Schools in many cities were closed.

Factories were closed.

Shopping malls were closed.

Everything looked like it was falling apart.

"It's really chaotic..." Ma Li picked up a steak and stuffed it into her mouth. She sighed. "This is just the beginning. Humans are afraid of getting used to their current lifestyle. Once they get used to their current lifestyle, they will exterminate themselves before the Beast Tide arrives."

"I think Qingcheng is still very stable." Chen Yu took a sip of red wine. "There isn't anything messy about it."

"That's because Qingcheng is more towards the south. It's relatively better." Ma Li wiped her mouth. "I heard that the northeast is fighting very hard. In order to fight for the benefits of the alien realms, they even used the exotic beasts in the wild."

"The chaos is so fast?" Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. "There are forces instigating it, right?"

"If it was instigated by a force, it must be because the Fair Association did not run away," Ma Yan interjected.

"You can't blame the Fair Association entirely," Ma Li said seriously. "Where there are people, there will be jianghu. When a rule disappears, humans will definitely create another set of rules. Without the support and command of the officials in the northeast, there will definitely be a fight."

"No, the Fair Association is the main reason," Ma Yan retorted. She took out her phone from her pocket and searched for a while. After that, she found a piece of news and handed it to the other party. "Read it yourself."

Ma Li took it in puzzlement and read, "The 630,000 people in the Black Province's Liancheng City..."

Looking up, Ma Li was terrified. "They turned into wood overnight?!"

Across from her, Chen Yu, who was eating, shook his hand and almost stabbed his fork into his nose. "Wood?"

"Yes, yesterday's news." Ma Yan took back her phone and slowly ate a piece of white radish. "A city of people, more than 600,000 people, all dead. Is this still a conflict of interest?"

"No... Everyone is dead, what's the point of fighting?"

"Black-Robed Faction." Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. "The Black-Robed Faction of the Fair Association. It's their handiwork."

"That's right, it should be Black-Robed Faction." Ma Yan looked at Chen Yu. "But from what you said, you know some inside information?"

"When I returned to Qingcheng from Tang City, I was attacked by the Black-Robed Faction of the Fair Association. The weapon he used at that time could turn people into wood. In the express delivery team, except for me and the Level 6 captain, the rest were all wiped out."

"Wood Powder." Ma Li crossed her fingers and said in a deep voice, "That thing is pretty awesome. As long one is stuck with even a few grains of powder, they will instantly turn into wood. Those below Level 5 won't be able to escape."

"I heard that this thing will lose its effect when exposed to oxygen." Chen Yu was puzzled. "It can turn 600,000 people into wood. How much is that?"

"In terms of tons. It seems that the Fair Association has obtained quite a lot of Wood Powder... Wait a minute."

At this point, Ma Li was suddenly stunned. "That's not right. The Wood Powder is produced in the Changling Alien Realm in the northeast. It's an A-Rank alien realm that cannot be entered. Usually, it's strictly controlled by the government. There are troops and martial artists stationed there."

"But after the destruction of the capital, didn't the north lose control?" Chen Yu immediately reacted. "The Fair Association has hijacked the Changling Alien Realm!"

"Yes."

Ma Li stood up abruptly. "That must be the case. Otherwise, they wouldn't have produced so much Wood Powder! This thing is strictly controlled all over the world! One gram of it will be shot to death. I only have ten kilograms at home!"

Chen Yu: "..."

"It doesn't look good." Ma Yan pushed up her spectacles and took a banana with a big appetite. As she ate, she said, "When the Black-Robed Faction of the Fair Association gets that alien realm, they will continuously produce Wood Powder. If the city after city is sprinkled with powder..."

"This extinction is much faster than the Beast Tide..." Ma Li muttered to herself.

"Didn't they say that after turning into wood, it can be restored?" Chen Yu recalled.

"It can be restored." Ma Li nodded. "In the depths of the Changling Alien Realm, find a tree that is glowing green, collect its juice, and give the person who has been transformed into wood a bath. It can be restored. But that kind of thing... is unrealistic."

"Why?"

"The Strange Land of Changling is an A-Rank alien realm. The official definition of it is that it cannot be entered."

Ma Li explained, "Because the alien realm has been sprinkled with pollen-like powder. If a martial artist below Level 5 enters, they will immediately turn into wood."

"This kind of powder is Wood Powder?"

"Yes." Ma Li nodded and continued, "The deeper you go into the alien realm, the stronger the power of Wood Powder will be. When you reach the depths, I heard that even a Level 8 martial artist will turn into wood. And that kind of tree that glows with green light can only be found in the depths."

"How much juice does a green tree have?"

"About a bowl." Ma Li pointed at the plate on the table.

"That's why it's not enough to give people a bath..." Chen Yu lowered his head and calculated, "I have to cut down hundreds of trees."

"It still has to be a Level 8 fighter who takes the risk to go in and cut them down," Ma Li added.

"It's indeed unrealistic. It's too expensive to send out a Level 8 fighter."

"From a business perspective, a Level 8 martial artist is much more valuable than a million civilians." Ma Yan finished the banana and began to nibble on the cucumber. "Delicious."

Putting down his knife and fork, Chen Yu lowered his head and thought deeply.

The Wood Powder was ineffective against him.

Even the powder in the deepest part of the alien realm could not turn him into wood.

But with more than 600,000 civilians, how many bowls of tree sap would that require?

His workload had exceeded the sky.

Moreover, he had more important things to do...

Clicking his tongue, Chen Yu silently mourned for the hundreds of thousands of people in his heart for a moment. Then, he picked up his knife and fork to eat again.

Lumberjacks could not save the people of the country.

"This matter must be reminded to the government of Shanghai as soon as possible," Ma Li said seriously. "Once the Fair Association has collected enough Wood Powder, it will be over no matter where it is scattered."

"Do they need you to remind them?" Ma Yan ate all the cucumbers and grabbed a long loaf of bread. She stuffed it into her mouth and mumbled, "The authorities have... sent people over long ago. Choke..."

"..." Chen Yu stopped chewing and stared at Ma Yan. "You. I think you're hinting at me."

Ma Yan pulled out the bread. "Huh?"

She took a tissue and wiped the oil stains on her lips. Chen Yu looked at BB beside him. "Are you done eating?"

"Almost... Almost." BB imitated Ma Yan and took a loaf of bread. She opened her mouth and said, "Ah... No, it won't fit."

Chen Yu: "..."

"Little Sister." Ma Yan was very happy. She raised the bread and said, "Come, I'll teach you."

"Teach her?! Scram."

He snatched the bread from BB's hands and threw it on the table. Chen Yu picked it up and stood up. "Alright, we're done eating. I'll pick up the tickets tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Ma Li looked at Chen Yu and then at BB. "How many tickets?"

"Two."

"Okay."

"Then I'll be leaving first."

"Brother Yu, didn't you say that this child would be left here?" Ma Yan said enthusiastically.

"I've changed my mind now."

He left the restaurant.

Under the respectful escort of Ma Li, Ma Yan, and the others, Chen Yu walked out of the villa.

He stopped in front of the main door. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go to the underground garage to take a look at Bahuang Yao.

Creak -- Dong!

Pushing open the garage door, Chen Yu took out the key, unscrewed the lock of the frozen car, and carried BB into the car.

Crash.

Lifting the white cloth, he saw Bahuang Yao lying calmly in the freezer.

"Is... Is this also a human?" BB asked.

"Yes."

"Why does it look different from a human's appearance?" BB was puzzled and carefully observed Bahuang Yao's appearance. "Her ears are so long, and there are lines on her face... it looks pretty good."

"She used some kind of martial technique that caused an irreversible change in her body," Chen Yu explained.

"Oh!" BB came to a sudden realization. Then, she scanned her from head to toe. "Is she a human female?"

"Yes."

"Then..." BB pointed at Bahuang Yao's upper body. "Why is that concave?"

Bahuang Yao:"..."

Chen Yu: "...Hahahahahahaha..."

Bahuang Yao: "..."

...

"Mom, I'm back."

When Chen Yu entered the house, Mother Chen rushed over aggressively.

"Chen Yu! I heard that you brought back a baby on your own... Wow, what a cute baby. Whose baby is it?"

"Hello." The baby waved her fair and tender hands. "My name is BB."

"Oh! It's Bi Bi." Mother Chen's body was almost soft. She carefully took the baby and hugged it in her arms. "She's so cute... her skin is so white."

"She's pretty, isn't she?" Chen Yu smiled awkwardly.

"She's pretty!" Mother Chen nodded repeatedly. "It's much prettier than your sister's. Your sister looked like that when she was young. I can't bear to see it."

At the side, Chen Siwen, who was originally happy, suddenly stopped smiling.

"Have you eaten? Siwen! Quickly get the baby a bag of milk!"

Chen Siwen: "There isn't any."

"If we don't have it, go downstairs and buy it."

Chen Siwen: "I don't have any money."

"Deduct it from your dowry."

Chen Siwen: "..."

"No... There's no need." BB understood the situation and waved her hand repeatedly. "BB doesn't drink milk. Sister, don't go buy it."

"Look at how smart this child is? How obedient?!" Mother Chen was excited and looked at Chen Yu. "Where did you get her?"

Chen Yu: "I picked her up."

"You picked her up? It's really not bad. In this day and age, it's not easy to pick up such a good child... What? What did you say? Picked her up?!!"

"Ah." Chen Yu stepped back and covered his ears. "Lower your voice. You can hear it from upstairs and downstairs."

"The child was picked up?!" Mother Chen was shocked. "What are you talking about?"

"She really was picked up." Chen Yu said nonsense. "You know how chaotic this environment is right now. This child is really miserable. Her family has all passed away and none of them survived. She's all alone. I felt sorry for her, so I picked her up."

"Where did you pick her up?" Chen Siwen sneered.

"In space."

Mother Chen: "Huh?"

"Oh, I picked her up in such an open space," Chen Yu corrected her immediately, then glared at Chen Siwen.

"Ah... She's so pitiful." Mother Chen was overflowing with love. She caressed BB's head lovingly. "Her hair is so long, but no one is able to tidy it up. It's too pitiful."

"So after a few days, I'll send her away and find a family," Chen Yu said.

"Send her where?" Mother Chen immediately became alert and hugged BB tightly. "She's a little girl over ten years old. Where are you going to send her? She's so beautiful. What if she meets a bad person?"

"What if your son is a bad person?" Chen Siwen smiled evilly.

"How can he be worse than you?" Mother Chen retorted.

Chen Siwen: "..."

"Mom, if we don't give her away, are we going to raise her?" Chen Yu asked.

"Of course! If you don't raise her, I will." Mother Chen carried BB and turned to walk towards the kitchen. "BB, what do you like to eat? Let me search the fridge for you... Do you like cake?"

BB: "Let me try it."

"Here. Do you like ketchup?"

BB: "Let me try it."

"Yes. Do you like chili?"

BB: "Let me try it."

"Here. Where's the mustard?"

BB: "Let me try it..."

He watched Mother Chen bring BB into the kitchen.

Chen Yu put down his backpack, changed into his slippers, and walked into the living room. "Sis. Come over here."

"What's the matter?" Chen Siwen casually approached him.

Chen Yu: "...When did you become a street slacker?"

Chen Siwen yawned. "I didn't sleep well. I'm sleepy."

"Let me tell you something. I'm leaving again tomorrow."

"Leaving again? Where are you going?" Chen Siwen frowned.

"Shanghai."

"Why are you going to Shanghai?"

"To find a friend." Chen Yu took out his phone and looked at the time. "I have something to do."

"You look for this friend and that friend every day. When are you going to find a girlfriend?"

"Aren't you one?" Chen Yu was surprised.

Chen Siwen: "..."

In silence, Chen Siwen's face became redder and redder. She slowly took out her phone shyly, she dialed a number. "Hello? Hello, is this the best orthopedic hospital in our city? Oh, yes, this is the emergency department? I have comminuted fractures all over my body. Oh, my tail bone is broken..."

When she hung up the call, Chen Yu was long gone.

"You don't have the guts to flirt. Tsk tsk."

She threw her phone on the sofa, walked to Chen Yu's bedroom door, and casually pushed the door open.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yu took two steps back.

"Are you going to Shanghai tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"That's good." Nodding, Chen Siwen pointed at herself. "Bring me along."

"No."

"If you don't bring me along, I'll find the Orthopedics Department for you."

Chen Yu: "..."

"Alright, you don't believe me, right?" Chen Siwen tore her coat and roared like a lion roaring in the east. "Ha!"

Chen Yu: "..."

[Psychological damage received: Spirit +30]

"Can't you be a little more normal? Which old woman is like you?"

"Are you bringing me or not?" Chen Siwen grabbed her pants.

"Bring bring bring bring..."

"Is it tomorrow's ticket? I'll go prepare it."

After saying that, Chen Siwen skipped away.

"..."

In the room.

Chen Yu was silent for a long time. He turned his head and looked at the snowflakes outside the window as he dialed Ma Li's number.

Immediately, the ringtone rang.

(Snowflakes fluttering in the wind.)

(Heaven and earth, a vast expanse...)

Chen Yu: "..."

[Psychological damage received: Spirit +5]

Du --

"Hello? Brother Yu?"

The call was answered.

From the receiver came Ma Li's voice.

"Brother Yu? Is it you?"

"Hello?"

"Say something?"

"Hello, hello..."

"Are you there..."

No matter how much Ma Li shouted, Chen Yu did not reply.

Because he was already in a daze.

His eyes were fixed outside the window.

It was a pine tree covered in snow.

The northern wind had fallen down on the top layer of snow, revealing its tender green leaves.

It was full of vitality!

"Brother Yu? Say something? If you don't say anything, I'll hang up?"

Chen Yu: "...F*ck."

"Huh?"

"F*ck!" Chen Yu suddenly became excited. He opened the window and looked out at the pine trees outside. He shouted, "I understand, I understand! I understand, f*ck!"

Ma Li: "...You actually know about this? Then I'll lay my cards on the table."

Chen Yu: "?"

"2800 yuan per night. I can give you a 20% discount. Let's have a chat over fast food."

Chen Yu: "???"
