Chapter 32 (1/2)

It was easier to think than to execute.  Reality was cruel, and the path was winding.

No need to mention that Token Card, the other eleven Cards that he had never heard of before was already a tremendous challenge to him. However, Chen Mu didn't feel discouraged.  On the contrary, he was extremely excited.  His mind was deeply emerged in the process of creating Cards.

If Lei Zi came back,  it wouldn't be that easy for him to concentrate even if he wanted to.

Returning to the inst.i.tution, the crowd of disciples were making detours for the unsightly-countenanced Zuo TingYi to go pa.s.s. Right at that moment, he overheard a small group of people discussing in front.

”Have you heard that? Some people in our cracking squad have broken several devices of the inst.i.tution.”

”Cracking squad? Is it the group of people who were trying to crack that thing, eh what is it called, 'Fortuitous Encounters'? ”

”Who else? They think they are great.  Ha, wanting to go crack other people's Cards, this is going to be good.” The one who could say this was the typical person who had wanted to see others got in trouble.

”Several devices? Aren't they familiar with it? How can they break it?” The other couldn't help but ask.

The first one gestured something with his hand; face was fullof mystery.

”Seven?” The people around them were astonished. ”Impossible! Seven devices? What has happened? We are friends, can you please be clearer?”

This person was capable of attracting others' attention. He complacently said, ”I don't know the exact situation.  However, the fact that they have broken seven devices is definitely true.  One of my best friends is in that cracking squad. He told me so with a grimaced expression yesterday.”

”Seven, ah ah, they have to pay an enormous amount of money then!”

”It's not just huge.  Some of them are high-level devices.  Someone has calculated that, among thirty of them, each must bear two million Odi.  My friend hugged me and cried all night long yesterday, so sorrowful that he even wanted to die!” The one who was speaking shook her head, sympathizingly grieved. The money that he has been saving for two years had went with the flow just like that.”

Everyone was sighing.

Zuo TingYi sneered while standing behind them. He didn't know whether or not it was because of his mental fitness that had gotten balanced, but his expression was getting brighter.  He had broken a twenty hundred million which was worth an a.n.a.lyzing device yesterday.

It wasn't that he minded this amount of money.  He was just hurt due to his failure.  He felt as if someone had slapped him, hard.  With his arrogant self, he abhorred this feeling.

Stupid Movie Card! He gritted his teeth in silent fury, cursing.

”I have returned.” Lei Zi brought numerous of the big and small bags into the room, yshouting.  These were the things that he had especially brought for Chen Mu. Most of them were edible.

”I don't even know how you could have messed up this room up just in several days.” Chen Mu muttered on one side and pushed the room's doors on the other side.

BAH! A sound of numerous things dropped down on the floor echoed.

In his eyes, weird things were scattered everywhere in the room, not to mention the mess under his feet.  He estimated that was the pile that he had indirectly thrown down.

A pair of ragged eyes looked up at him from behind the mess.  The eyes were as if it were ejecting fire and frightened Lei Zi to death.

”I, I … wrong room.” He let go of the big bag on his hand even before finis.h.i.+ng his sentence, he then frantically ran out.
