Chapter 116: A Cigarette After the Fact — Sorrow Vanishes, Weariness Melts, Joy Knows No Bounds!

After Luo Chenyu left.

Shi Zheng's face showed an excited expression. "This little fellow is really my lucky star. With this merit under my belt, barring any accidents, I'll be able to get promoted by the end of this year."

An Chen's expression, however, was the exact opposite. He said in a low voice,

"We can't let our guard down. Last night Wang Ziquan smashed a rat's nest, and this morning he couldn't wait to spread the news to the East Sea."

"If he becomes the captain of the Law Enforcement Squad, Yin Man's vote count… If Yin Man gets elected, our days are numbered!"

Shi Zheng's expression changed. "Damn that Maoxiangong Society. An Xiao, I'll make another trip over there."

"Don't rush. I have a half-baked idea… come with me to see the City Prefect!"

An Chen stood up, turned his head, and said to Yu Zhilin: "You go secretly protect Luo Chenyu. He's the key to this."

Yu Zhilin nodded and leapt straight out the window.

An Chen: "…"

………………

After leaving the academy.

Luo Chenyu thought for a moment, then headed straight for the Longshan Trading House. Besides meeting the "wife" of his dreams, he planned to offload all the gear on him.

However, he was disappointed.

The black-stocking Young Lady, Fang Yue, had left Longshan City and returned to the East Sea.

And Yue Lingsu wasn't there either.

So Luo Chenyu went to the place where he had originally sold his gear and sold off everything that had dropped from Yangshan.

He had originally wanted to buy a level-20 set, but after seeing its effects, it was no match for the 【Gloom Set】 he was already wearing, so he had no choice but to give up.

In the end, he left with an anonymous bank card holding over 30 million.

To date, in just three days, his savings had already exceeded 200 million Xuanlong coins, of which more than 100 million came from Wu Yicheng's "generous gift."

That guy was a real good sort — not only did he deliver gear, he delivered money too.

"They say the experience inside 【Ninefold Abyss】 is great. Why bother grinding out in the wild? Just charge straight in!"

Yangshan was off-limits, and Luo Chenyu didn't want to bother finding another grinding spot.

He headed straight toward 【Ninefold Abyss】.

And after hearing An Chen's instructions, he abandoned the idea of taking a vehicle. Walking was safer and less likely to give him away.

【Ninefold Abyss】 was located very close by, just outside the perimeter of Dragon Abyss Valley.

And it wasn't far from the newbie dungeon.

After leaving the high walls of Longshan City, Luo Chenyu walked in a certain direction. Only after he was out of sight of the high walls did he double back and run toward the newbie dungeon.

"Boom!!"

The explosion rang out, weeds and black mud flying everywhere.

Luo Chenyu stood safely in place, scanned his surroundings, but found no enemies.

"Come out, you Wang family lapdogs!"

He hadn't offended anyone else — this attack had to be the Wang family's doing, just like the attack by those two rookies the night before last.

However, he hadn't expected the attack to come so suddenly.

He had already switched routes several times, yet someone had still followed him silently and even set up an ambush in this narrow pass.
