"Where's that kid?"
Huang Yuan returned from বাইরে and looked around, but Li Mu Chuan was nowhere in sight.
"He's in his room playing games."
Water Monkey gave a muffled snort, clearly annoyed. "That guy you brought back is definitely a stowaway! Ever since he got here, he's done nothing but eat and loaf around. The moment he's hungry, he opens his mouth and demands food, and he hasn't forgotten to chase girls either. What kind of person is he?"
Thinking of Li Mu Chuan's string of actions over the past three days, Water Monkey grew furious.
They had clearly fed him the capsule, and his life was already under their control. So why was this guy still so damn happy?
Playing games, chasing girls, food delivered the moment he opened his mouth—he was having the time of his life!
Huang Yuan's face darkened at those words, but he immediately changed his expression. He patted Water Monkey on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
Then he strode into Li Mu Chuan's room.
When he pushed open the door, Li Mu Chuan was playing the hottest online game around, Interstellar Warfare.
Huang Yuan played it too. The various warships and planets in the game were based on planets that had been discovered in reality.
The game was incredibly addictive.
"Time to go."
Huang Yuan glanced at the game and spoke in a low voice.
"Wait, let me finish this match!"
Li Mu Chuan did not even turn around, his attention almost entirely fixed on the game.
Damn it!
Huang Yuan nearly spat out blood. I told you to get to work, and you're telling me to wait until you finish this game?
Who the hell do you take me for?!
We feed you, provide for you, and even let you play games! What the hell is this?!
Huang Yuan was on the verge of losing it, but Li Mu Chuan was playing fiercely and completely ignored him. He could only take a deep breath and wait quietly at the door.
Half an hour later, a victory notification finally popped up on Li Mu Chuan's computer.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Li Mu Chuan stood up, his face full of joy from winning the match.
As he spoke, he walked over to the refrigerator, took out a drink, and started drinking it himself, as though this place were his home.
Huang Yuan felt the veins on his face throbbing. After taking a deep breath, he led the way outside.
He no longer wanted to speak to Li Mu Chuan. He felt that if he did, he might not be able to stop himself from hitting him.
"This is a Light Energy Storage Device. You need to take it to America. Once you get there, you'll be told where to make the exchange."
Water Monkey fiddled with a tiny object about the size of a piece of glass.
Meanwhile, the computer beside him was downloading several data files onto a storage device.
After the download was complete, Water Monkey set a password on it.
Li Mu Chuan's eyes flickered slightly. This was the storage device used in this world.
Li Mu Chuan had originally planned to bring back some technology to make money, but after seeing the Light Energy Storage Device, he abandoned that idea.
Even if he brought this thing back, there would be no way to analyze it!
It was essentially a technological barrier.
Just from the methods they used to download the files, Li Mu Chuan knew there was no way to bring it back and decipher the contents stored inside.
"Oh, right. Shouldn't you get me a phone?"
Li Mu Chuan accepted the storage device containing the downloaded files, then asked casually.
"Fuck, I—"
Huang Yuan felt like he was going insane.
It really would be better for them to provide the phone, since they could install surveillance software on it.
But now that Li Mu Chuan was the one making the request, Huang Yuan could not shake the feeling that something was very wrong.
"Give him one."
Huang Yuan flicked his head, telling Water Monkey to hand Li Mu Chuan a phone.
Soon, a sleek, futuristic-looking phone was placed in Li Mu Chuan's hand.
Li Mu Chuan took the phone and left with Huang Yuan leading the way.
Li Mu Chuan had wanted to say goodbye to the only girl there, but unfortunately, he never got to see her.
After taking Li Mu Chuan to the side of the main road, Huang Yuan abandoned him and left directly.
As he left, he tossed out one sentence. "You have three days. You must reach America within three days, or the poison in your body will flare up."
Li Mu Chuan curled his lip. He had not even swallowed the capsule, so what gave them the right to threaten him?
Still, it was a pity to lose a place where he could eat and drink for free.
Looking at the storage device in his hand, Li Mu Chuan curled his lip again. Traitors, and you even dared to poison me? I'll make you pay!
With that, Li Mu Chuan strolled down the street as if searching for something.
A moment later, Li Mu Chuan spotted a cargo truck.
Seeing it, he quietly approached. Without anyone noticing, he tossed the phone into a hidden corner of the truck, then turned and left.
After finishing that, Li Mu Chuan clapped his hands and walked away humming a tune.
Not long after, Li Mu Chuan arrived in front of this world's police station.
"Hello, I'd like to report a crime."
"Go ahead."
The officer at the reception desk immediately turned serious.
"I suspect someone of treason. This is what they gave me and told me to take to America."
Li Mu Chuan took out the Light Energy Storage Device and handed it over.
"Treason?"
The officer was immediately startled. In this era, doing something like that was an extremely serious crime.
"Also, they're staying at 308, Building Three, Section A, High-Tech Villa District. But it's a rented place, and they will probably leave soon. You'd better send people to arrest them immediately."
Li Mu Chuan had learned the villa's location earlier while flirting with that girl.
"All right, please wait a moment."
Hearing such major news, the officer tensed up. He hurriedly called someone else over to attend to Li Mu Chuan, then immediately reported the information.
Shortly afterward, a team was quickly dispatched.
Huang Yuan would never have imagined that Li Mu Chuan would be such an oddball.
He had thought everything was firmly under his control. How could he have imagined that Li Mu Chuan would report him the moment he stepped outside?
He had even been ready to change locations immediately.
People like him always stayed somewhere for a while before moving on.
Huang Yuan was meticulous, but when the arresting officers arrived, he had no ability to resist and was captured with ease.
At that moment, Huang Yuan was completely bewildered. He could not understand where he had gone wrong or how he had been caught so quickly.
Still, he quickly turned his suspicions toward Li Mu Chuan.
He ground his teeth in hatred, but no one was going to arrange a meeting between him and Li Mu Chuan.
Experts soon cracked the Light Energy Storage Device, and the files inside concerned several cutting-edge technologies.
After discovering this, the relevant personnel immediately began conducting secret interrogations of Huang Yuan and the others. They were determined to find out who was behind them.
By comparison, things were much easier for Li Mu Chuan. He had rendered a meritorious service by reporting them.
While Li Mu Chuan stayed there, people would occasionally come over with friendly expressions and ask whether he was thirsty or hungry.
Once this major case was closed, all of them would be awarded first-class merit.
