Chapter 28 Fighting Brigands

After returning to the small convenience store, the animated hooligans were on already their knees begging for forgiveness. Yang Kuai’s face was very stern while constantly lecturing those hooligans. It seemed like he wanted to use the power of non-stop talking still to reform them.

Zhou Yu wanted to leave as soon as possible, however, Yang Kuai didn’t agree. Before he was able to reform those hooligans, he didn’t want to leave. So he carried on talking.

Helplessly, Zhou Yu could only stay vigilantly outside the store, while waiting for Yang Kuai to finish talking. But soon, the group of hooligans that finally stopped themselves from vomiting return to the store again.

Seeing the strange young man was seemingly waiting for someone outside the store, the leader-like hooligan’s face was filled with a twisted smile.

“What is fucking wrong with you…”

Indeed, what was wrong with him. Since he had already run away, why he wanted to come back? It was understandable the first time because he might leave something behind. But doing it so many times, clearly, he was playing with them. How could they not be angry?

However, despite they were angry, they didn’t have any strength to chase at all. After entering the store one by one, they just sat on the ground and refused to get again. Sitting on the ground panting, their defeated look just like those small animated hooligans, who were currently being re-educated by Zhou Kuai.

‘Uh… I guess this also counts as a win. Hmmm… Long live peace.’

Yang Kuai finally finished lecturing. And those small hooligans no longer covered with dark shades. Instead, there were rainbows around them as if they had been completely purified.

If the real-world people were as simple as the citizens of the ACG world… Anyway, Zhou Yu didn’t think that he would be able to change those real-world hooligans just by simply talking to them.

Everyone had their own way of living, he couldn’t force them.

Now he should take the opportunity that those real-world hooligans had not recovered their strength to leave this place as soon as possible. And probably he would never come back again.

Having given back the bear doll to the Loli Xiao Hua, hero -Yang Kuai received a kiss. In terms of the poor horse carriage – Zhou Yu, he got nothing.

“Little Kuai, the quest has finished, let’s go home.”

After being chased around in the neighboring village for two times, Zhou Yu sweated a lot. Plus it was very unusual for him to stay outside for such a long time, so he was slightly irritated.

He just wanted to go home to have a hot shower and then play with his computer to enjoy the beautiful home life.

“Dad, what do you mean. Xiao Hua said that there is a group of brigands outside the village. She asked us to help her to eliminate those brigands. How can we give up helping her?”

‘Dammnit! It is a quest chain,’ Zhou Yu couldn’t help but turn around. The towering mountain could be clearly seen behind him. Seeing the cell phone tower on the top of the mountain was like a large lightning rod, he felt his both legs were shaking.

“The brigands you were talking about, do you know where they are exactly in the mountain?” He asked with a quivering voice. He hoped that Yang Kuai would say that they were at the bottom of the mountain.

However, Yang Kuai didn’t say anything. He just chicly pointed at the mountaintop.

‘What…’ Zhou Yu almost cried. He had just been chased around by a group of hooligans, and now he had to climb a mountain. And that mountain was at least eight hundred meters tall. Although it was not a very big mountain, the craggy mountain roads would be more than enough to make the otaku – Zhou Yu feel like as if he was in hell.

The small mountain paths were definitely out of the consideration, because he didn’t recognize the roads. Who knows where they might lead him to.

There was a main road heading all the way to the mountaintop. However, normally this type of mountain road had many unnecessary turns, therefore it would at least take him 7 or 8 hours to climb to the top and come back.

But for the future animation director! He had to do it.

Having gone to a small restaurant, he solved his launch problem. At the same time, he also restored some physical energy. Then he began to climb the mountain with Yang Kuai…

Because he had defeated some hooligans, Zhou Yu was overconfident about his physical strength, but then he was wrecked by the mountain road.

Around halfway through his journey, he began to feel dizzy and his legs began to lose strength. He had to take rests from time to time.

Looking at Yang Kuai singing songs while enjoying the cool breeze and beautiful sceneries on his shoulders, Zhou Yu’s mind was filled with resentment. ‘Who am I doing this for, and this stupid kid is still singing. I hope he bites his tongue…’

It is said that when climbing a mountain, it is better not to take any rests during the journey. But Zhou Yu didn’t care that much. He would just take rests immediately if he couldn’t walk anymore. And then he would slowly move an inch by inch towards the mountaintop.

Throughout the entire journey, he could see some cars passing by, however, not a single driver stopped their cars and kindly offered a chance to pick him up. Only until this moment did Zhou Yu just realized that he could have simply hired a motorcycle at the bottom of the mountain. It would’ve been a much easier journey.

Alas, he was used to the simple life. He just subconsciously thought that he would be able to make it on foot, and there was no need to waste some money. However, he didn’t expect that this journey would be that difficult.

When it was five o’clock in the afternoon, he finally made it to the mountaintop. As soon as he got to the top, he crawled to a shady place and stopped moving. He had no more energy to do things like shouting loudly at the top of the mountain or enjoying the views of having the world underneath his feet.

In terms of Yang Kuai, Zhou Yu just waved his hand and told him that he could do anything he liked. As a horse carriage, he must act like a horse carriage. The horse that could help heroes to kill enemies was either called beast or Red Hare.

The brigands that lived on top of cellphone tower finally ran into misfortunes. A country boy, who knew Kung Fu, appeared out of nowhere and broke into their camp, defeating many of their men single-handedly. It was even more powerful than Zhao Yun.

However, at the moment, an engineer-like person, that was currently maintaining the cell phone tower, didn’t know that there was a fierce fight going on near him.

The only person that could see the fierce fight was still lying in a bush like a dead body.

“Dad, dad, look, there is a treasure!”

Seeing little Kuai hopped back excitedly while carrying a statue that was as big as him, Zhou Yu who had been rest for a while quickly got up.

Mysterious statue (unappraised), Attributes: ? ? ?

Damn, there was even a loot system. Although he didn’t know what it was, at least, he still had something. It meant that this trip was still worth it.

But what Zhou Yu was worried about the most right now was the other thing. “Little Kuai, is there any more quests after this?” He asked nervously.

“No, that’s it. After we get back home, we can ask the uncle immortal to help me to awaken my profession.”

Only when Zhou Yu heard this, did he finally smiled. He then gently stroke the head of little Kuai to congratulate him for completing his quest. In fact, Zhou Yu was very worried that this kid would become addicted to this kind of quest.

What if he found that defeating the brigands was not interesting anymore, and what if he wanted to do something like against the gods, then there would be no ends…

But he just wanted an animation director!

It was much more easy for him to go down the mountain. It was just that the night was getting darker, and he could not see the road clearly. In the night, the mountain and the woods suddenly became very scary. The originally cool breeze was suddenly able to make spine chilling noises. With strange light dots looming in the woods, it was as if there were something in the woods watching him.

If it weren’t for the fact that there was little Kuai with him, he would have probably already run down the mountain.

Luckily, he had already thought about this before he climbed the mountain. With a flashlight that he had prepared before, he slowly got back home.

Although he also wanted to find out little Kuai’s stats and what the statue was, It was already very late when he got home, the light in the Taoist temple was also already put out. Plus he was also very exhausted, He fell asleep very quickly.
