Chapter 49: 49. Fierce Bandit (Added chapter for the Gold Alliance Penguin)
âWhy leave? I want to hear what Liu Dezhu has to say!â Nan Gengchen muttered.
Qing Chen glanced at him, âWhatâs so interesting about that? Are you a Time Traveler? If not, thereâs no point in listening.â
Nan Gengchen choked a bit, âBut this is first-hand information from the Inner World. What if we⊠end up time-traveling in the future? It might be useful.â
âNot interested,â Qing Chen said nonchalantly.
âTime traveling would be so interesting,â Nan Gengchen said. âIf both of us traveled to the Inner World, we could become Transcendents or even transform ourselves with mechanical limbs and become superheroes. Then Iâd form a League of Troubled Fathers with you. Sounds exciting, doesnât it?â
Qing Chen: ââŠâ
In the end, a group of teachers blocked the reporters at the downstairs, the school is a place for learning, how could they let outsiders stir up trouble?
During the first period break, a figure stealthily climbed over the schoolâs fence.
He grabbed a student on the playground and asked, âHow do I get to the senior year two, class four?â

The student was clearly stunned by the dialect but still pointed him in the right direction.
The middle-aged man thanked him and headed to the classroom.
He stood at the entrance of senior year two, class four and said, âHow do you say, âcanât keep himâ?â
The students at the entrance took a moment to reply, âYou mean Liu Dezhu?â
âYes, yes, Liu Dezhu!â Jian Sheng slapped his forehead.
A student pointed him out, and Liu Dezhu, feeling uneasy, stood up and attempted to run.
Jian Sheng rushed forward, grabbed him, and said urgently, âI know you were powerful in Prison 18, even that Transcendent followed your lead, your status must be high!â
Liu Dezhu panicked, âItâs not me, youâve got the wrong person!â
âDamn it, donât worry, I wonât mess you upâŠâ Jian Sheng was speaking when two teachers arrived and dragged him out of the classroom. âIâll give you money!â
In the hallway, Jian Shengâs curses echoed as the students all turned to look back at Liu DezhuâŠ
At that moment, Liu Dezhu was about to break down, having never expected that a mere lie would lead to so much trouble.
Truly, what he desired most now was to find out the third Time Traveler in the prison!
He wanted to see who had caused him to carry such a big burden!
At this very moment, the one carrying the burden, Qing Chen was sitting in the classroom as if the outside commotion had nothing to do with him.
He saw Nan Gengchen take out a computer programming textbook and asked, âWhy are you suddenly reading this?â
âNo⊠no reason,â Nan Gengchen said. âJust wanting to pick up a skill. How about we cozy up to Liu Dezhu, and if we get on good terms, maybe we could benefit in the Inner World.â
âNot necessary,â Qing Chen responded. âIâm not a Time Traveler.â
But at that moment, he suddenly lowered his head and began to ponder.
He certainly knew that Liu Dezhu was an imposter, but Time Travelers like Nan Gengchen didnât know.
Considering Time Travelers from all over the country might total up to tens of thousands, could someone be drawn to Los Angeles City by Liu Dezhuâs âidentityâ?
Because this was the most reliable method known so far to find âtrustworthy teammatesâ in the Inner World.
He Xiaoxiao had suggested that everyone should team up in the Inner World, but the difference between useless teammates and reliable ones was significant.
However, what Qing Chen couldnât understand was.
After such a big incident today, why members from the Kunlun organization had not appeared yet.
Was Uncle Li Dongâs legacy not enough to draw attention? Definitely not.
There must be a problem.
Until the evening study session, Qing Chen had not seen Kunlunâs figure, always feeling that something was about to happen, but not knowing what it was.

At 9:20 PM, the juniors and seniors from Los Angeles Foreign Language School rushed out of the campus.
The night campus, under the dim street lights, had a unique beauty.
Students, in their uniforms, walked on the path, conversing in pairs. Those with bicycles beside them said goodbye before dashing into the night.
Some girls walked ahead while the boys who secretly liked them would follow behind, roughhousing with their friends to catch their attention.
It seemed like this was how youth was supposed to be.
At that moment, Liu Dezhu said goodbye to his classmates and pushed his bike out of the shed, heading in the direction of Xinglong Garden.
He was reviewing the dayâs events, feeling more aggrieved the more he thought, yet after a long while, he didnât know what to do.
As he was passing Yellow River Road, he suddenly felt something was amiss. A black van rapidly approached him from nearby.
He turned his head and was shocked to see that both people in the front of the van were wearing sunglasses, with the passenger even turning to look at him.
Liu Dezhuâs heart sank.
Just as both parties were about to enter an unmonitored underpass,
the driver of the black van suddenly steered towards Liu Dezhu, attempting to ram him with the body of the van.
He frantically tried to dodge to the sidewalk, but the black van drove onto the sidewalk, hitting Liu Dezhu and his bike, sending them flying.
The screech of tires grinding against the pavement filled the air along with Liu Dezhuâs screams.
The skewed black van stopped on the curb, and with a click, someone pulled open the van door, and a manâs cold voice could be heard from inside: âMake it quick, take him.â
Two men wearing sunglasses jumped out of the van, heading straight for Liu Dezhu without hesitation.
Their expressions were fierce, resembling the ruthless criminals from Hong Kong films.
But most critically, Liu Dezhu clearly saw that both men were equipped with cybernetic limbs!
âHelp!â Liu Dezhu was terrified, screaming desperately.
Suddenly, a blinding high beam lit up from behind, shining on everyone present.
The roar of an engine, growing rapidly louder, sounded like a steel beast running rampantly on the concrete roadâŠ
With a crash, a black SUV brazenly slammed into the rear side of the black van!
The black van rolled over from the impact!
The two thugs who had earlier left the van changed expressions and immediately lunged at the black SUV, their cybernetic arms releasing long knives. But before they could reach the SUV, a blurred figure leaped down from the overpass, six meters above.
Someone had been waiting here!
The figure landed swiftly and fiercely, striking directly above the heads of the two thugs.
Metallic legs landing on the shoulders of the two thugs forced them heavily onto the ground.
Blue sparks flew as the cybernetic limbs on the shoulders of the thugs shattered, exposing the electronic components inside.
The descending figure turned to Liu Dezhu and asked, âAre you alright? Hello, nice to meet you for the first time, I am Zheng Yuandong, the person in charge of Kunlun.â
