Chapter 95: Reservoir (II)

The next day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Everything seemed to be going well.

Before Chen Yiming left the city to cultivate, he went to the Yiming Detective Agency.

He walked along the street that the detective agency was on and realized that the watchful eyes from the day before had completely disappeared.

He walked all the way to the entrance of the store and pushed open the door to enter. He saw that Wei Chaoyuan and Shi Changyi were both there.

“Brother Chen, you’re here,” Shi Changyi greeted him.

Chen Yiming walked over and sat down on the sofa. “I beat up the chief of the Flying Scorpion Sect yesterday. How’s the situation at the company?” he asked.

“Haha, this matter has already spread. Shi Changyi and I were just discussing how to take advantage of this opportunity to make a name for ourselves and quickly strengthen the company,” Wei Chaoyuan said with a smile.

“Brother Chen, your attack was like a bolt of lightning. Now, there are rumors that a dragon has suddenly entered the industry,” Shi Changyi said with a smile.

The employees of the detective agency had been threatened by the Flying Scorpion Sect, and Chen Yiming had severely injured Zhou Weidong. Not only had he defended the company’s dignity, but he had also made a name for himself.

A capable and powerful leader could ensure his subordinates would not be easily bullied outside.

Many martial arts practitioners in the detective industry secretly asked their friends about the background of the Yiming Detective Agency and had the intention to switch to their company.

“If that’s the case, you guys should continue. I still have something to do,” Chen Yiming said as he stood up to leave.

“Brother Chen, wait. There’s news about the matter you asked me about.” Shi Changyi suddenly remembered something important and stopped Chen Yiming.

“Tell me about it.” Chen Yiming sat back on the sofa.

“There’s a high chance that there will be a thunderstorm tonight in the vicinity of the Stone Ring Reservoir,” Shi Changyi said.

“Where is that?” Chen Yiming’s interest was piqued.

“Head straight to the neighboring Nightwater City and continue north from the northern city gate there. You’ll reach the Stone Ring Reservoir in about 100 kilometers,” Shi Changyi replied.

…

After Chen Yiming left the city, he followed Shi Changyi’s instructions and rushed to Nightwater City.

Nightwater City was located to the northwest of East Lake City. The two cities were separated by more than a hundred kilometers, and the difference in population was not that great. It could be considered a city of the same level.

His speed on foot was much faster than driving a vehicle. In half an hour, he had covered more than a hundred kilometers in the wilderness.

After arriving at Nightwater City, he thought that there was still a long time before night, so he entered the city to take a look.

Ever since Chen Yiming transmigrated to this world, he had only been to East Lake City and the surrounding wilderness, and had never been to any other city.

Since his current strength was enough for him to do whatever he wanted in the wilderness, he suddenly felt interested in seeing the rest of the world.

There was a large square in Nightwater City

where many martial arts enthusiasts living up to several kilometers away were gathered.

At this moment, it was a good time for the morning martial arts training. Over a hundred men and women were gathered in groups of two or three, sparring with each other.

“If I didn’t have the enhancement from the martial arts talent system, I would probably be like them

,” Chen Yiming thought to himself as he sat on a stone stool nearby and observed them.

On the path of martial arts, hard work alone wasn’t enough. Most of the people in front of him were likely to have practiced martial arts for much longer than Chen Yiming.

However, they were still at the foundation stage of martial arts, while Chen Yiming had already broken through to the warrior realm.

Just as he was about to leave, he overheard the topic of discussion among a few of the young men.

Chen Yiming looked up and saw the group of young men sitting around a stone bench dozens of meters away from him.

“Have you guys heard? The higher-ups in Nightwater City performed a sudden inspection of the armory and found that a batch of firearms had disappeared,” one of the young men said.

“Tsk, who is so bold to steal from the armory?” The other young men looked shocked.

“The inspection team is interrogating the relevant personnel one by one. My father works in the government department and didn’t return home last night,” the young man continued.

“Then could it be that your father…” someone said quietly.

“How is that possible? My father is in charge of the human resources department. At most, he will cooperate with the investigation by getting the information of the suspects,” the young man hurriedly explained.

Chen Yiming, who was dozens of meters away, frowned when he heard this.

The higher-ups in Nightwater City suddenly checked the inventory of the armory. He combined this with what Wei Chaoyuan had mentioned yesterday, which was that they had sent out employees to investigate the reason for the sudden rise in prices.

Chen Yiming guessed that it had something to do with the second beast tide that Wang Bowen had mentioned.

“What a series of events. The war near the lake in the west has only just ended.”?Chen Yiming shook his head.

The war between humans and the otherworld was going on almost every moment. No one could have expected that a catalyst from somewhere might bring about another war.

Perhaps a human had accidentally entered a new space-travel passage, or perhaps an alien creature had accidentally entered the blue planet.

The topic of conversation quickly shifted to their own cultivation.

Chen Yiming lost interest and quickly left Nightwater City, heading towards the Stone Ring Reservoir.

…

The Stone Ring Reservoir was nearly five kilometers wide. There were a large number of huge rocks several meters tall surrounding it, which gave it its name.

Above the reservoir, a few flying mutant beasts swooped down from the sky from time to time. They plunged into the water and flew back into the sky with big fishes in their mouths.

In the dense forest nearby, the sound of mutant beasts running around could be heard.

Chen Yiming chose an open area on the surrounding mountains and waited for the thunderstorm to arrive.

“I can clearly feel a stifling heat in the air.

The clouds in the sky are very thick. I can’t see any gaps between them, and the sunlight is completely blocked out. Looks like I’m in luck.”

If Chen Yiming wanted to participate in all the important matters in East Lake City openly, he had to be strong enough to be at least a warrior candidate.

For example, the cultivation techniques after the warrior realm were something those who had undergone six or seven transformations and were still within the disciple realm would not be able to come into contact with.

Therefore, in order to give the outside world a suitable explanation, he had no choice but to take the trouble and waste his time doing these useless things.

After all, there were still people at the master realm above the warrior realm. At the moment, he did not have enough strength to fear nothing.

Just as Chen Yiming was about to start his daily cultivation, a group of carts entered the reservoir from afar, attracting his attention.

The carts were the kind that sold vegetables and hauled goods from the market. There were a total of ten carts, and each of them was covered with a layer of plastic.

From the marks left by the tires on the road, it was clear that the carts were filled with goods.

Other than the drivers who were pushing the carts, there were dozens of people in casual clothes surrounding the carts. Most of them were holding weapons like swords and sabers.

These people all had big and stout figures, and their bodies were very muscular. It was obvious that they were martial arts practitioners.

“This Stone Ring Reservoir is rather remote. The nearest city is Nightwater City. Why would the carts come here?” Chen Yiming asked, perplexed.

He realized that he had unintentionally interrupted someone’s plans. It was not strange for such a cart to appear in or near the city.

However, if it appeared in the wilderness 100 kilometers away from the city, the plastic film would attract attention instead. It was like one was trying to deceive oneself.
