Chapter 137 Benefitting From He Hongtao

The Accumulation Fist has always been viable; this playstyle existed as early as last week. But real combat isn't like tokusatsu anime, with its half-minute transformation sequences. Even a half-second of absentmindedness could result in a severe beating.

That's why, when facing Xu Chen's uncle earlier, and thoroughly trouncing him, Chen Yuan started with 'Grab' and then followed up with Blast.

Even last week, he needed two seconds of charging to complete it.

If that Xu Chen's uncle hadn't underestimated him and simply shaken him off, he might not have been able to complete that crucial finishing blow.

However, knowing that the guy would appear at this location within two minutes, and even be too busy running to dodge, practically throwing himself at him, Chen Yuan had ample time to react.

What's the equivalent of this?

Tenzo being tossed into Konoha and landing directly on Naruto's Super Great Ball Rasengan.

Chen Yuan genuinely hadn't expected that the invincibility progress bar, weakened since last week and almost useless in real combat, could be used in conjunction with this week's ability.

It was slow. Very slow, indeed. It took a full minute to reach fifty percent.

Another half-minute passed before it reached eighty percent.

But the person was already there. Oh well, he’d leave him a few bones.

At this moment, it was the same afterimage he'd seen two minutes ago.

Honestly, it was a little boring.

Because when he started charging, he had already seen the victory calculation of the battle three minutes later.

However, being caught between the future and reality, he hadn't actually witnessed how this punch would be delivered.

So, first, he'd throw a punch. When hitting… ah, no, it should be—

The Astonishing Chang'an First Punch!

"Excuse me, excuse me…"

Before the buzz-cut man could finish speaking, the boy in the school uniform in front of him suddenly threw a punch.

Moreover, the fist went straight for his abdomen!

At the moment of contact, it felt like being hit by a large truck. That terrifying, ox-like brute force was almost ghostly, instantly applied to his body. And because it was just a fist, the pressure was too great, causing all the flesh in his abdomen to cave in. In an instant, all the organs inside twisted into a knot…

"Ugh!"

A large mouthful of sour fluid surged up from his stomach, and he vomited it out heavily. He himself was sent flying backward a meter and a half, crashing heavily to the ground, writhing and tossing in pain, groaning in agony.

What was that punch?

What the hell did you eat to grow up like that!

Also, why did you hit me?

Damn it…

A person being suddenly punched and sent flying so far caused the surrounding pedestrians to cry out in surprise. Then, they all focused their attention on the scene. Some of the bolder ones even crowded around.

"What's going on?"

"He was just sent flying; that's really powerful."

"Why is there a woman's bag on the ground… could it be a thief?"

Just as everyone was astonished, the chubby auntie who had appeared in the future rushed over, panting. Looking at the bag on the ground, she stamped her foot and shouted, "Oh, my! My bag, it's my bag! This person just snatched it!"

Chinese people all love to join in the fun, and group behavior is contagious. When one person applauded, others naturally followed suit. Then, led mainly by the older women, enthusiastic praise and discussion erupted.

"This young man is truly amazing, a righteous hero. Take a video and post it on Douyin; let him become famous!"

"Really good, a fine student from Eleventh High, worthy of being a good school on par with Fourth High."

"But that punch, so powerful! Who could send a grown man flying so far?"

"This young man is handsome and strong; this auntie really likes him. It all depends on whether he wants to work hard…"

This shrimp-head auntie is truly outrageous.

I've long forgotten the flower language of steel wool.

Of course, the only reason I remembered it before was because the joke was funny, not because I wanted to leave myself a way out for the future.

I've never heard of southeastern men needing to rely on older aunties!

What, white faces are most common in our area?

I'm from Jingnan; what does that have to do with me?

However, this scene exceeded Chen Yuan's expectations, instead making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

It was like this: two minutes prior, Chen Yuan suddenly changed history, which resulted in the phantom three minutes after that node appearing.

And from that node to the future three minutes later, the phantom in between directly ceased to exist.

That was normal.

After interference, the future scenes could not seamlessly connect.

This was the unavoidable bug that existed when changing the future.

If there were a villain, they would take advantage of this gap in time to attack!

Of course, with no superpowered villains, he was still invincible.

He only knew that this matter… was quite a stir.

It was no longer just a matter of finding an excuse for being late.

"Excuse me, I'm about to be late," Chen Yuan said, intending to leave.

Then, the chubby auntie who had picked up the woman's bag suddenly grabbed his hand and started pulling the zipper of the bag.

"No, no need," Chen Yuan said, stopping in his tracks. Out of respect for the auntie, he didn't break free, but righteously refused the act of being offered a reward.

Auntie, you can't do that; I'll get angry.

Then, the auntie took out her phone and dialed a number.

Auntie, I'm really getting angry.

"I'm sorry, I'm already late; I'll go first…"

"Daughter, my bag was snatched today, and then a kind young man snatched it back for me and subdued the thief! Come quickly!" the auntie said loudly.

"Aren't you supposed to call the police at this time?" Chen Yuan reminded her.

"It's okay; calling my daughter is the same as calling the police."

"Your daughter works next to the police station, right…"

"My daughter is a police officer," the auntie said with a smug smile. "And she's a very capable policewoman."

Tacky!

Classic urban policewoman trope, huh?

Chaozi, you disgust me.

"I'm a student from Eleventh High. If there's anything you need…"

Chen Yuan was halfway through speaking when he suddenly saw the phantom of the thief on the ground getting up. He was holding a small fruit knife in his hand, staggering out of the crowd and running into the distance.

Oh, is that all?

Chen Yuan didn't take it to heart and continued to say to the auntie, "How about this? I'll leave you my phone number. If there's anything you need to cooperate with the police, give me a call. I really have to go; the school's early morning self-study is almost over."

"Wait a little while; my daughter is very close to here. She can be here within ten minutes," the auntie said, holding Chen Yuan's hand with a smile. "My daughter just graduated from university and started working. She's not much older than you…"

"I have a girlfriend."

This shrimp-head auntie is outrageous. What are you trying to do to this adorable minor?

What? Does Xin Yu know I have a girlfriend?

When you're out and about, your identity is what you make it.

“…I know; my daughter is so much older than you. Why would I think about such things?" After the auntie finished speaking, she lowered her head and looked to the side, her expression gradually becoming awkward.

Is it really that difficult for daughters who are police officers to get married?

Even high school students look down on them?

Alas… why did I agree to let her go to police academy back then?

"That, be careful!"

Suddenly, someone noticed that the thief wriggling on the ground had taken out a small fruit knife at some point. However, as soon as she finished her warning, Chen Yuan went up and kicked him, knocking him over directly.

You want to cause trouble in front of Super-Lord?

Chen Yuan added more damage when the other party just had the seedling of such a thought. And the knife in his hand flew out.

Then, the bystanders reacted and did what they should do, several men directly went forward and held him down, and took away the small fruit knife to prevent this guy from wielding it.

Truly you, you forcibly changed theft into robbery. You know how to increase your sentence.

But if he had really rushed out like this, he might have really hurt someone…

It’s just that, that was impossible.

I've already seen your future.

Therefore, it was very boring.

However, this ability was still quite useful.

As expected, this auntie didn't lie. The police car arrived in five minutes… or rather, eight minutes.

Then, a female police officer in uniform, with neat short hair and a police cap, got out of the car. Beside her was a male co-op police officer in a graduate-student look, holding a pair of handcuffs.

Since it wouldn’t take too much of my time, I would wait.

No wonder this auntie didn't even let go of me, a high school student. She was really a little worried about her daughter's marriage.

Of course, respecting all women, I don’t mean that a woman's value is only in marriage and childbirth. It was just that, according to secular discussions, standing in today’s society, a girl who was too neutral, working as a police officer, and didn't have very gentle eyes, even if she was pretty, had clear and gaunt features… In short, at a glance, she was a leading lady that was difficult to match in the marriage market.

Then, the police car arrived.

The policewoman and co-op police officer got out of the car. The co-op police officer neatly handcuffed the suspect, and then the policewoman began to disperse the crowd: "Everyone, please don't gather; you're causing congestion. Go and do your own things."

Of course, people won't listen to persuasion when you say that. Therefore, the first thing she did was to escort the suspect onto the car first, during which she kept whispering to her mother who was clinging to her side: "Alright, alright. I know, Ms. Huang, don't call me daughter… stay away from the suspect, Mom!"

6.

Looking at this mother and daughter with extremely contrasting personalities, Chen Yuan found it quite interesting.

He felt like their daily life must be very abstract.

So, when would they call me?

The people around were still taking pictures; don't really piss me off…

“Ah, hello, my name is Li Tong.”

When the policewoman walked up to Chen Yuan, she glared fiercely at the auntie who was about to follow behind her. Then she turned her face, smiled slightly, but you couldn’t feel any smile: “I’ve already heard about what happened just now, thank you for your support in maintaining public order.”

“It’s a small matter,” Chen Yuan said casually, “Xia Hai is my home, maintaining it depends on everyone.”

Although I said that…

But Xia Hai’s housing prices are really expensive, can I settle down here?

"…Very good awareness." Li Tong almost said 6, but she still resisted, "Report your ID number, I'll record it."

"******************, Chen Yuan. Chen of ear-dong, Yuan of Yuanshen plus three water dots.”

Chen Yuan always felt that this sentence was familiar, even like it was directly ctrl+c copied.

“…” Li Tong didn't expect that the person who had that game in their phone was so warm-hearted.

But what surprised her even more was that in their system, this ID number, this name, had already reported the case a month ago.

Moreover, what was recorded on it was: Chen Yuan rescued a woman named Yuan who jumped into the Jingjiang Reservoir.

So, she slowly raised her head, looking at this tall boy with some disbelief.

The other party naturally avoided it at the moment their eyes met.

Was he too simple because he was a high school student?

Unlike others, he wasn't surprised at all that a tomboy policewoman came down from the police car.

He didn't have any stereotypes or prejudices such as ‘this kind of girl should be difficult to marry off.’

This was our first meeting, how could he be so natural?

“You saved a Yuan before…”

"Yes," Chen Yuan interrupted in time based on the principle that if a name appeared in the story, there must be her plot, to stop Yuan Mou… Yu's real name from flowing out.

“You saved someone before? What a good young man. What grade are you in…”

“Mom… Mom, please don’t interrupt, Ms. Huang.” Li Tong said impatiently.

Mom-please, what a strange accent?

“Although I’m very sorry to disturb your studies…” Because the other party had protected citizens twice within a month, one of which was her mother, Li Tong was greatly impressed by this young man and took the initiative to say, “But I promise it won’t waste too much of your time. Then, I'll also drive you back to school.”

“No need, just reimburse a taxi fare.”

“Ah?” Li Tong was stunned.

“It’s a little weird to go back to school in a police car,” Chen Yuan said, revealing his point of concern.

Please, don’t become viral, don’t become viral.

Don't really become an internet celebrity or something, and then a brokerage company finds me and signs some stupid contract that says I can't have a relationship, otherwise, I'll have to pay huge liquidated damages.

Debuting with a pure smile is fine.

But not being allowed to be in a relationship…

It's really not possible.

Is the police car so disliked by you…

Feeling somewhat hurt, she sighed, Li Tong raised her head and said, "Okay, please come with us… Yes, yes, including you, Ms. Huang, but you take another car to the police station."

“Why can’t I ride in your car? I raised you this big…”

"There are only two seats in the front row, I'll drive, Chen Yuan will sit in the passenger seat. Then, you'll sit with the suspect?"

“…I’ll take a taxi, haha.”

“…”

This mother and daughter are really abstract.

Could they be in the "I'm Super" book friend group?

“By the way, comrade.”

"…En." Hearing herself being addressed this way by this child, Li Tong showed a clearer smile, "What's wrong?"

“If I ask for leave from school like this, they may not believe me.”

Chen Yuan also showed a slight smile, and opened his mouth: "Can you call my homeroom teacher?"

………

Self-study was almost over, why wasn’t Chen Yuan here yet?

This child usually wasn't late.

Could it be that he overslept?

Or was he sick?

But why didn't he ask for leave…

Could it be that he thought I wasn’t watching over the early self-study this morning, so he wanted to skip class?

Just as he was thinking this, a phone call came in.

Moreover, it was an unknown number, but the Xia Hai number.

Lao Mo walked out of the classroom, stood at the door, and then answered the phone: "Hello?"

“Hello, are you Teacher Mo?”

"…Hello." Lao Mo immediately became nervous.

What was going on, did something happen to Chen Yuan?

It wasn't even him calling himself!

This kid had been so outstanding recently, could he have offended someone?

Or was it Xu Chen’s uncle from before…

“Hello, I’m policewoman Li Tong. Chen Yuan saw justice and acted bravely outside the school, catching a thief. Now he has to go to the police station with us to make a statement, can you come over?”

"…Wait, I'll call you back right away."

Lao Mo hung up the phone directly, and then took a deep breath.

This kid Chen Yuan, had he made another contribution?!

Why was he so conspicuous!

Was he a warm-hearted citizen?

A student, involved with the police so many times, and it was actually in a positive way!

While being shocked, Lao Mo also fell into the correct thinking.

Then, after thinking, he made a call.

School Leader He.

The reason why he called Secretary Han before was because School Leader He was out for a meeting at that time.

Now that the leading big leader in his prime was here, how could he ignore him?

Moreover, this incident was even more positive, even more of a young hero.

I was going to benefit from Chen Yuan again…

"Teacher Mo, what's the matter?"

“School Leader He, are you busy?”

“Yes, I have a very important meeting later. But it's okay, go ahead."

“The student Chen Yuan who saved people before, he caught a thief outside the school today. Then, he went to the police station to make a statement. So, I was wondering if the school should come forward and bring him back incidentally…”

"…"

After a long silence, He Hongtao, who had a very important meeting, said, "My car doesn't have traffic restrictions today, so it's convenient."
