Chapter 1241 Mysterious Weird Sloppy Man
Chapter 1241 Mysterious Weird Sloppy Man
Half an hour later, Chu Chen held a meeting with Jiu Tianyang and a group of middle-level leaders.
After inquiring about the Long Knife Gang's development and receiving a stable answer, Chu Chen went out onto the street alone.
To avoid attracting attention, he needed a place to live for his cultivation.
That's right. With so many multi-element stones in his possession, what Chu Chen needs most right now is strength!
After leaving the Longsword Gang, Chu Chen headed straight for the back mountain of the underground city.
According to Jiu Tianyang, there were many houses prepared for the rich on the back mountain.
Their location was remote, but luxuriously decorated and undisturbed, making it an ideal place for spiritual cultivation, and of course, a place for the wealthy to enjoy themselves.
Chu Chen arrived at the trading office alone. With the enthusiastic introduction from the staff, Chu Chen directly purchased a small house.
After entering the courtyard, he couldn't wait to take out a box of multi-element stones, then lay down inside and closed his eyes.
The moment Chu Chen came into contact with the Multi-Element Stone, he felt as if every pore on his body had opened up.
The energy within the multi-element stone flowed into Chu Chen's body through his pores, cleansing his limbs and bones, and slowly enhancing his cultivation.
Xiao Ai moved a chair out and sat down in the yard, cracking sunflower seeds while keeping an eye on her surroundings.
She would send a signal at the slightest sign of trouble to bring Chu Chen out of his cultivation state.
This was also a deliberate arrangement by Chu Chen. After all, the Multi-Element Stones had always been controlled by the Heavenly Emperor. Now that he possessed so many, who knew if the Heavenly Emperor would covet them?
Therefore, Xiao Ai, this human surveillance camera, came in handy.
Three days later, Chu Chen looked at the multi-element stone beneath him, which had turned into an ordinary stone, and at the increased power within his body, and revealed a satisfied smile.
Then, he walked out of the room, into the yard, and hugged Xiao Ai tightly.
Just as the two were about to start the engine and drive away, they suddenly heard footsteps outside the yard.
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately stopped what he was doing, thinking to himself, "How could anyone come to this godforsaken place?"
He immediately became alert, and when he went to the gate, he saw a very slovenly-looking man looking around.
"There are beggars in the underground city?"
This was the first thought in Chu Chen's mind.
"Wow, this house must be really rich. There's probably plenty of food inside!"
The person outside glanced at the house and then stepped forward to knock on the door.
Upon seeing this, Chu Chen immediately took out the wood-chopping knife and then reached out to open the courtyard gate.
"What brings you here...?"
"Oh, a young gentleman, so handsome! May I have a drink with you?"
After saying that, the slovenly man looked at Chu Chen with a grin, but when he saw the woodcutter's knife in Chu Chen's hand, he was immediately shocked.
How could something so valuable end up in his hands?
At the same time, Chu Chen was also sizing up the disheveled man in front of him and found that the man's every move was not what a beggar should look like.
Since the rise of the Longsword Gang, such slovenly people have become extremely rare in the dungeon.
Therefore, Chu Chen immediately concluded that this person had come with a purpose, but as for what that purpose was, he would only find out after testing him.
If someone like this wants to get close to you, then give them a chance.
Rather than leaving it outside like a ticking time bomb, it's better to keep it by your side.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen immediately changed his expression.
"Brother, how did you end up in such a miserable state!"
"Haha, young brother, there are thousands upon thousands of people. The so-called tragic situation is only what you perceive as tragic. As for how well they are actually living, I, the old man, will have to judge for myself."
Chu Chen understood what he meant, and he had an air of "others laugh at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at them for not seeing through me."
That's interesting. To be able to say something like that means this person is even more extraordinary.
If they are the enemy, they must be taken down and eliminated.
"Haha, that's very insightful, and you've truly grasped life's meaning. Please welcome him!"
Chu Chen immediately gestured for him to proceed.
The visitor didn't stand on ceremony and simply stepped over the threshold into the courtyard.
Chu Chen followed and led her to the stone table. Then he said to Xiao Ai, "Xiao Ai, serve the wine and dishes!"
Xiao Ai glanced at the person who came in, then looked at Chu Chen's nonchalant expression, and turned back into the kitchen.
When he came out again, he was carrying a tray.
On the tray were stir-fried green peppers with pork, stir-fried pork intestines with sour sauce, peanuts, tofu with scallions, and a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.
Four dishes and one soup—not exactly a feast, but rather extremely ordinary.
However, in this dungeon where the food is rather bland, this is a rare delicacy for them.
Chu Chen opened a bottle of Maotai and poured him a cup.
"I have plenty of food and wine here, but you have to tell me where they come from and why they are here?"
The disheveled man took the wine from Chu Chen, closed his eyes, and took a deep, enjoyable sniff.
"Rumor has it that a true dragon has appeared in the dungeon, so I came to pay my respects. I never expected to find such a pleasant surprise!"
After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
As he savored the sensation of the strong liquor going down his throat and the rich aroma filling his mouth, the slovenly man couldn't help but feel a growing fondness for Chu Chen.
This wine is infinitely better than the wine served in the dungeon.
"Young man, this wine... I'm afraid it's not available in the dungeon!"
At this moment, Chu Chen was immersed in his words: "Dragons emerge from the dungeon, but who are they? At the pinnacle of the universe, what is the status of dragons?"
If someone can accurately locate their dwelling in this remote place, then the dragon must be referring to themselves.
Looking up to him... what exactly does this person want by lowering himself like this?
"Ah...hehe, it's just a mere drink, probably not even worthy of the attention of a powerful being like an immortal!"
"Young brother, you are mistaken... Humans are the masters of the universe. Where are the immortals? I have never seen them. If one has the ambition to break free from the universe, even an ant can become an immortal!"
"Humans are not immune to the desire for food and drink. Ordinary people eat three meals a day, and so does the heavens and earth. Who can resist the temptation of fine wine?"
Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself, "You've made such an obvious approach, it can't be just to say a few words, right?"
However, if someone dares to discuss the Heavenly Emperor in front of him, then that person is not so simple; at the very least, he is stronger than those from powerful families.
Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor, that old scoundrel, sent him to spy on me? This thought immediately popped into Chu Chen's mind. Perhaps it was just psychological, but the only person he was currently wary of was the Heavenly Emperor.
However, this sentence is also true: Even ants can become immortals and break out of the universe.
Could it be that he's targeting himself?
