This Curse Is Just Awesome - Chapter 196
Chapter 196: The Beast Tide
Jill had already left.
Only a thin license plate book was left for the three people from class two.
Chen Yu, Duan Ye, and Bahuang Yao sat in a circle on the ground. They looked at the string of letters and numbers on the book, and their thoughts were all different.
Chen Yu was silent.
Duan Ye was imagining things.
“HFS-122 is team number one covering team number two’s offense. HFS-223 is team number two covering team number three’s offense…”
Only Bahuang Yao recited the code word by word with a serious look on her face.
Chen Yu and Duan Ye: “…”
“VR-296 is divided into teams, with the second team member as the main… Eh? Why aren’t you guys learning it?” Bahuang Yao turned her head in puzzlement. “Teacher Jill said that this code must be destroyed by tomorrow at the latest.”
Chen Yu: “…”
Duan Ye: “…”
“You… If you guys don’t learn it… I’m going to turn the page?” The girl tentatively picked up the page. “I’m going to turn the page?”
“Brother Yu, are we really going to carry this thing?” Duan Ye facepalmed.
“…Jill is right, we really need a set of communication codes. It’s too troublesome and unprofessional to do research on our own.” Chen Yu pointed at the license plate register. “Learn it.”
“But…” Duan Ye lowered his head to take a few glances and sighed. “I can’t calm down. Looking at these numbers, I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s a good thing that I lost my phone. Otherwise, I would have gone to the browser.”
“Even we who know the truth are like this. If the enemy heard it, they would definitely be more disturbed. Learn it. It’s better to have more skills.”
“Alright…”
“Oh right, you lost your phone? When did you lose it?”
“Did you forget when you solved the case in Tang City? When you caught the two murderers, my phone got scared on the spot? Then I forgot to pick it up.”
“…You can do it.”
Seeing his two teammates reciting the ‘secret signal’, Bahuang Yao put her index finger to her mouth. After thinking for a moment, she could not help but ask, “What do these numbers mean? Why can they cause interference to the enemy?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just an ordinary secret signal.” Chen Yu waved his hand.
“Then you guys are weird…”
Duan Ye looked up and was puzzled. “We’re weird. What’s so weird about that?”
“That’s right.” Chen Yu also looked up. “If we’re not weird, then it’s weird.”
Bahuang Yao: “…”
The license plate register looked very thick, but in fact, most of the contents were notes. There were not many real ‘license plates’, only a hundred or so.
So, before the sky turned dark, the three of them had already memorized most of them.
Pa.
After closing the book, Chen Yu glanced at his two teammates. “Are you done memorizing them? Pair them up with each other.”
“I’m done memorizing them. Go ahead and ask.” Duan Ye bent down.
“What’s S-222?”
“Everyone, gather and back up. Prepare for attacks from all directions.” Bahuang Yao raised her hand.
“What About WBR-521?”
“Gather and attack at 1 o’clock,” Duan Ye said.
“WBR-524.”
“Gather and attack at 4 o’clock…”
The mutual testing lasted for half an hour. After the three of them confirmed that they had memorized it, they handed the license plate list to Duan Ye.
“Burn it.”
“Okay.”
Duan Ye nodded and mobilized his Qi to turn into flames, burning the entire ‘secret skill’ to ashes.
Half a minute later, after getting rid of the ashes, Duan Ye clapped his hands and said, “I feel like I’ve burned 100 million.”
“This secret signal system is extremely expansible. We can deepen it a little.” He stood up. Chen Yu suggested, “Change our martial techniques as well. In this way, the enemy doesn’t know what skills we’re going to release, but our companions know each other and cooperate according to the situation on the scene.”
“Then in the future…” Duan Ye was stunned. “We won’t be able to shout out cool moves…”
Chen Yu: “But we can shout out attractive license plates.”
Duan Ye: “…”
Duan Ye: “…It doesn’t seem too bad.”
…
At the same time.
A paper secret order wrapped in a red headband was sent through a special method to the office of the Vice President of the National College Committee.
Rip…
The unperturbed Vice-President slowly tore open the letter and took out the innermost piece of paper. He scanned it and his pupils suddenly dilated. Then, they quickly contracted.
“Has the news been confirmed?”
“Not yet. The enforcement department is verifying it now. It will be around 4 am at the earliest.” The assistant bowed deeply. “But according to the current intelligence analysis, the probability is more than 80%.”
Sitting on the mahogany chair, the Vice-President pondered for a long time. He took out a pen and wrote two lines of words. He signed his name, stamped his official seal, and handed it to the assistant. “Give it to the general in charge of the 2nd Division. Ask him to apply for the right to transfer and station troops to the west in the name of acting.”
“Yes.” The assistant received the document respectfully.
“Then…” The Vice-President narrowed his eyes. “Lower the taxes and house prices in the western region of the Capital and stimulate the economy.”
Hearing that, the assistant’s hair stood on end. He braced himself and bowed. “…Yes.”
It was obvious that he was trying to lure the people from the other three directions to the west…
The office became even quieter.
The Vice-President stared at his assistant. After a long while, he said, “Since the appearance of the exotic beasts, mankind has suffered a crushing defeat.”
“Yes.” The assistant nodded.
“As long as the Beast Tide takes shape, it will definitely result in the death of mankind.”
“Yes.”
“Therefore, we must break this disadvantage. We must gather all our strength to win this war. This is the last hope of mankind. For this, we would rather pay everything.”
“Yes…”
“Go down.”
“Yes.”
After seeing his assistant off, the Vice-President closed his eyes and pondered for a long time. He opened his eyes and picked up the note again.
Only six words were written on the note.
“On the west side, the Beast Tide is coming.”
…
What was the most painful thing in the world?
Mr. Lu Xun once gave an answer, “When a person is alive, but there is no money.”
Chen Yu still had quite a lot of money in his hands, but he was even more lacking in academic credits…
After two weeks of squandering, 100 academic credits had already been used up by the three people in Class 2.
Duan Ye, in particular, was simply a huge gold-swallowing beast. He was clearly only a freshman, but he had already begun to show his talent of ‘feeding’ and ‘eating’ himself.
Moreover, Chen Yu was also thinking about the ‘path of a mage.’ The demand for credits would probably rise sharply soon.
“Get money.”
This goal had become the focus of Class 2’s consideration at the moment.
It had not even been a month since the school loan was closed.
Even if they closed the net, they had to keep the second loan and expand their capital.
Therefore, there was only one option left for the three of them — to accept a mission.
After a simple communication and unifying their thoughts, Chen Yu ‘reported’ this idea to Zhang Tie, the security officer.
After hearing this, Zhang Tie instantly jumped three feet high.
“You’re finally willing to move.”
He had also taken two or three elite classes and four or five ordinary classes. He had never seen such a ‘free’ person like Chen Yu and the other two.
If they didn’t do proper work, how could they become great?
The next day, the four people of Class 2 arrived at the third floor of the office building, which they had not seen for a long time, and started to search for a task.
When the words on the big screen refreshed one after another, Duan Ye accurately found the key words. He pointed at the screen and said, “Look, the 13th row of the 4th row, save the female fighter who has lost her footing. It’s actually a Rank A task.”
Chen Yu and the others unconsciously looked over there. Indeed, the name of the row was ‘Save the female fighter who lost her footing.’
Duan Ye turned around and looked at Zhang Tie, “Elder Brother Tie, which one did you lose your footing? I can’t figure it out.”
“You don’t need to care about which one. It’s a Grade A mission.” Zhang Tie held Duan Ye’s head. “Look at the Rank C mission and Rank B mission area.”
Although Duan Ye’s head had been straightened, his eyes were still fixed on the Rank A task area. “I’m very experienced in persuading people to come ashore. How about…”
“Shut up. You can’t accept tasks higher than Rank B tasks. You can’t even look at them.”
On the side, Bahuang Yao blinked her eyes as she looked around for a while before raising her hand. “What about that? Kill the Level 3 exotic beasts in Antai City? It’s a Rank B task.”
“No.” Zhang Tie shook his head, “You’re only in Grade 1 now. If you don’t touch exotic beasts, you don’t have to touch them.”
“Take that Rank A mission.” At this moment, a female voice sounded from behind Class 2, which sounded a bit choked.
Hearing this, Chen Yu, Duan Ye, and Bahuang Yao turned back. They were all stunned.
The one who spoke was Zhang Yanyan.
At this moment, her eyes turned red, she looked haggard and her pale lips quivered slightly. “Please… accept that task.”
Chen Yu reacted the fastest as he looked Zhang Yanyan up and down, “Could it be… that task is yours…”
“Yes.” Zhang Yanyan burst out into tears, “It’s mine, it’s mine…”
Duan Ye became dumbfounded, “We didn’t give you a fruit loan. Why did you enter the water yourself?”
“…” Zhang Yanyan stopped crying.
