Chapter 357: 357, Master Western techniques to Control the West_1
There’s not much to say about the process of looting the school.
It was the middle of the night and the spiritual practice school was deserted. It took the thugs only an hour to clear out all the valuable items inside the school.
After ransacking the school, under Su Yu’s command, the gang headed for the lavish mansions of the principal and board members located in the suburbs.
Though the head of the spiritual practice school was a third-ranked Spiritual Mecha Master, Su Yu was a sixth-ranked person from the Sanctuary!
With him covertly interfering, the principal couldn’t possibly fend off the gang’s attack and was quickly toppled.
After looting the principal and the board members’ mansions, Moquli handed over most of the spoils to Su Yu, while the rest was divided equally among the gang members.
Then, standing on the steps in front of the mansion, he announced the official dissolution of the gang! He instructed everyone to take advantage of the night to quickly escape to other parts of the country, leaving their fate to the gods.
The gang members heeded to their boss’ instructions.
Upon returning home, they gathered their valuable belongings, and with their wives and children, fled Red Forest Town under the cover of night. Some returned to the countryside to take refuge, some moved to slums in big cities and sought protection from other gangs, while some simply found ways to leave the country.
…
The events that transpired in Red Forest Town created considerable stir nationwide the following morning.
An attack on a spiritual practice school was extremely rare, therefore this incident received varying degrees of media attention throughout the Raging Sun Empire.
The police officially started the investigation.
However, due to the fact that no one was killed or even severely injured under Su Yu’s control during the entire incident, the police did not give it high priority.
As for Su Yu, he was now traveling across the desert with Morning Star, flying in the direction of the Lun Kete Alliance.
Moquli and others who knew about the Red Forest Town incident, were taken care of by him after the event was over.
…
Su Yu reaped substantial benefits from this expedition!
Just in terms of spiritual energy, he obtained over two hundred bottles, worth at least 20 million Solar Yuan; he also acquired a good amount of cash, roughly 3 million Solar Yuan.
Beyond that, he acquired a Tungsten Solar-Powered Mech, dozens of types of medicine, thousands of forging materials, several hundred bottles of finished medicines, over a hundred sets of Skrull equipment, and so on..
The most important of all, Su Yu got his hands on textbooks covering various subjects taught in the spiritual practice school, as well as cultivation methods for the four major professions ranging from first to fourth order.
The reason why Su Yu wanted to attack the spiritual practice school and the principal’s house, 90% of it was for these textbooks and advanced cultivation methods.
Unlike Blue Star, there was no access to such high-end knowledge on Skuru Star’s internet. The only option was to infiltrate a spiritual practice school.
In the end, he successfully retrieved these cultivation methods from the core exhibition room in the library.
Blue Star also has several spiritual energy cultivation systems, including Daoist, Buddhist, and physical refinement systems.
However, there were very few ancient creatures that survived and the cultivation modes were not systematic.
It was different on Skuru Star.
Spiritual energy on Skuru Star never depleted, and they possessed a mature and complete system of spiritual energy cultivation.
This system, when brought back to Blue Star, could reciprocally be mastered to control the other’s technique.
This is especially true for the professional players of “Evolution”, who practically do not need to eat or sleep after advancing to high ranks. In addition to the 12 hours in the game, they could completely use the remaining 12 hours to practice Skuru methods and gain some strength.
The cultivation methods were the underlying reason why Su Yu raided the school.
As for why he chose to command the gang to loot instead of stealing personally, that’s a whole other reason.
If Su Yu sneaked into the school himself to steal the textbooks and advanced cultivation methods, the news about the “loss of advanced cultivation methods in Red Forest Town Spiritual Practice School” would have made headlines the next day, potentially alerting top officials of the Raging Sun Empire.
However, it was different when Su Yu commanded the gang to loot.
Given Moquli’s previous grudge against the principal, the police would assume that Moquli carried out the act as an act of vengeance. The reporters would focus on the feud between Moquli and the principal, downplaying the issue of the lost advanced cultivation methods.
Add to this the fact that there were no serious injuries or deaths involved, the police would not give too much importance, thus indirectly prolonging the investigation time.
If the police really had the ability to determine that a strong unknown entity had control over the gang and decided to pay extra attention, it would only be several days later. By then, Su Yu might have returned to Blue Star.
…
The entire plan ran very smoothly.
After the plan’s completion, Su Yu left Red Forest Town, flying west towards the Lun Kete Alliance.
With a phone now, Morning Star was unwilling to stay in the pet space. While Su Yu was flying, she lay on his back, playing with her phone.
There was no network or signal in the desert, but Morning Star had pre-downloaded many novels, videos, and even offline games. Even offline, she was all but bored.
After flying over the vast desert for more than three hours, Su Yu used the [Invisibility Skill] to pass through the border wall between the two countries and entered the territory of the Lun Kete Alliance.
Behind the border wall, the desert still spread out endlessly. Su Yu flew towards the nearest town called “Wanda” to get a legitimate identity first. Then he planned to go to the capital of Lun Kete Federal — Treyna City to see if there were any opportunities.
He flew another 20 kilometers.
However, Su Yu suddenly came to a halt, standing atop a sand dune.
Morning Star paused her game, jump onto Su Yu’s shoulder and asked, “Nemesis, why aren’t you flying anymore? Is there something up?”
To look at her now, Morning Star was indeed a cute little Pikachu, even cuter than before.
“Two things,” Su Yu nodded, “First, hand over your cell phone.”
“Why?” Morning Star wore a puzzled expression, “Why do you want to check my phone? Shouldn’t there be some privacy between husband and wife?”
“…” Su Yu rolled his eyes, “I’m afraid your phone will connect to their network. If the phone connects to the internet, the Lun Kete Alliance would detect a phone from the Raging Sun Empire suddenly appearing within their borders, and they could easily locate us.”
“Right.” Morning Star found Su Yu’s explanation reasonable and reluctantly handed over her phone to him. There were still many things on her phone she hadn’t finished checking out yet.
Su Yu casually tossed both his and Morning Star’s phones into the necklace.
Then, he took out the [Hearthstone] from the necklace and set the sand dune under his feet as his “home”.
([Hearthstone(Gold)]
Usage: You can set the location under your feet as your “home”.
Activate the Hearthstone at any location, and you will be teleported back to your “home”.
Cooldown Time: 2 hours. Maximum teleportation distance: 1000 kilometers.)
The place he was in now was less than 1000 kilometers away from Treyna City, and it took 2.5 seconds to activate the Hearthstone.
Even if he met a seventh-ranked legendary figure, it would be easy to spare 2.5 seconds for casting. With Hearthstone, his life was secured.
After setting the Hearthstone, he took off and flew towards the nearest Lun Kete town called “Wanda”.
