Chapter 285 - 114: Abyss Riot (Part 2)
Hearing Director Li’s voice, Chen Yu’s brows immediately furrowed.
’I still can’t go in...’
This was not good news for him at all!
"There’s been a riot in this Abyss. A large number of Undead Creatures have appeared, and many people have already died inside. The situation is very dangerous. We’ve received orders from above, and right now, our only option is to seal the Abyss. So, I’m sorry!"
Director Li’s voice came through.
But upon hearing this, Chen Yu’s eyes lit up.
’An Abyss riot, a large number of Undead Creatures...’
’This is great news!’
The more of them there were, the more Source of Life he could earn.
An opportunity like this was rare!
"Director Li, I can help," Chen Yu immediately said.
"...Help?"
On the other end of the line, Director Li was stunned.
’The situation is so dangerous, but why does it feel like Chen Yu is excited?’
Most people would do anything to avoid a situation like this, but he seemed eager to rush right in.
’Are all young people this eager for a challenge?’
"This... Chen Yu, your status is special. I’m afraid I can’t make that call," Director Li said, snapping out of his daze.
"Not even if I act in a personal capacity?" Chen Yu frowned.
"..."
"How about this? I’ll ask around. If it’s possible, I’ll call you back, and we can talk in person."
After a moment of silence, Director Li’s voice came through again.
"...Alright, I’ll wait for your call." Hearing this, Chen Yu knew he couldn’t push too hard. He had to know when to back off.
’Anyone who didn’t know better would think there was some great treasure inside.’
After hanging up, Chen Yu rubbed his temples.
The situation had changed.
The bad news was that entry was forbidden.
The good news was that there was an opportunity to obtain a massive amount of Source of Life.
However, the prerequisite was getting inside.
The Abyssal Administration Bureau was an independent department. Even with his status as a member of the Superpower Alliance, he couldn’t give them orders unless he was a top-tier member.
’If I can’t go, I guess I’ll just head back to the academy for now...’
The thought flashed through his mind as Chen Yu stood up and walked to the bathroom.
「...」
After dinner, just as Chen Yu was preparing to cultivate, a call from Director Li came in again.
’Looks like there’s a chance!’
A look of delight appeared on Chen Yu’s face when he saw the caller ID. He answered immediately.
Director Li’s voice came from the other end of his watch. "Chen Yu, I’ve explained the situation. The higher-ups have agreed, but the Abyss Director General wants to meet you in person."
’They agreed...’
Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Location and time."
Chen Yu asked without hesitation.
"Where are you in Hai City? I’ll come pick you up now."
Director Li’s voice came through.
"Outer City, Haijiang District, number eighteen Jiangteng Villa," Chen Yu reported his location.
"Okay, good. I’ll be there in about half an hour." After Director Li’s reply, Chen Yu acknowledged and hung up.
’The Abyss Director General...’
’Looks like another big shot!’ Chen Yu thought, gazing at the night sky.
He knew a little about the structure of the Abyssal Administration Bureau.
To become the Abyss Director General meant having a status on par with the headmaster of the Superpower Academy, or perhaps even higher!
As for strength, there was no need to guess—he had to be at least a Level 9.
Although he didn’t know all the specifics about the Abyssal Administration Bureau, he knew the general gist.
On the Ancestor Star, the Abyssal Administration Bureau had nearly a hundred branch offices.
For example, the Thirteenth Bureau.
Its vice directors were already Level 8 Martial Artists, while the directors themselves were Level 9. A few might only be peak Level 8s, but their combat strength was still comparable to an early-stage Level 9.
The Abyss Director General managed all hundred-odd branches on the Ancestor Star.
You couldn’t hold that position without sufficient strength!
He had to be at least at the peak stage of Level 9, probably not far from becoming a True God.
「...」
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the villa’s main gate.
Chen Yu opened the door. Standing at the entrance was none other than Vice Director Li of the Abyssal Administration Bureau’s Thirteenth Bureau.
A car was parked right at the villa’s entrance.
A black Hummer!
"Let’s go. A final decision will be made after you meet the Director General."
Director Li said, looking at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu nodded, followed Director Li into the Hummer, and with a ROAR of the engine, they quickly left the villa complex.
The car sped along, soon entering the Inner City District.
"Hm?"
’Why does this direction seem so familiar?’
Sitting in the car and looking out the window, Chen Yu suddenly seemed to recall something.
The castle!
If he remembered correctly, this was the direction of the castle where he had once met a True God.
’Could it be? Is the Abyss Director General that True God?!’
Chen Yu’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked over at Director Li in the driver’s seat.
"What’s wrong?" Director Li asked while driving, sensing Chen Yu’s gaze.
"This Abyss Director General... he isn’t a True God, is he?" Chen Yu couldn’t help but ask.
Director Li chuckled. "How could that be? A True God wouldn’t take on such a position."
"He’s not?" Chen Yu was taken aback.
"You’ve met the two True Gods?" Director Li asked as he drove, a look of astonishment on his face.
"I’ve met one of them," Chen Yu replied.
Hearing this, Director Li subconsciously slammed on the brakes and stared at him in shock.
"You’ve really met one?" He had only asked casually, never expecting the answer to be yes. Director Li’s mind was reeling.
"Mhm. This is the direction of the place where that True God lives, so I thought it might be him," Chen Yu said nonchalantly with a nod.
"..."
Coming to his senses, Director Li started driving again, but the shock in his heart had yet to subside.
He never would have imagined that Chen Yu had actually met a True God!
It was beyond anything he could have conceived.
