Chapter 237: Learning from the Enemy to Defeat Them
The operation went off without a hitch.
It was the middle of the night, and the Spirit Cultivation School was deserted. The gangsters spent just an hour ransacking the school, taking everything of value.
After plundering the school, under Su Yu's command, the gangsters headed to the suburban mansions of the principal and the board members.
The principal of the Spirit Cultivation School was a Third-Stage Spirit Mechanic, but Su Yu was a genuine Sixth-Stage Saint Domain expert!
With Su Yu pulling the strings from the shadows, the principal stood no chance against the gangsters. He was taken down in a matter of moments.
After ransacking the principal’s and board members’ mansions, Mercury handed over the majority of the loot to Su Yu, while the rest was divided among the gangsters.
Standing on the steps of the mansion, Mercury announced the formal dissolution of the gang. He urged everyone to flee under the cover of night, their fates left to chance.
The gangsters were loyal to their leader.
Upon returning home, they packed up their valuables, took their families, and fled Red Forest Town in the dead of night. Some went back to the countryside to hide, others sought refuge in the slums of larger cities with other gangs, and a few even found ways to leave the country.
...
The next morning, the events in Red Forest Town caused a significant stir nationwide.
Attacking a Spirit Cultivation School was extremely rare, and major media outlets in the Sunfire Empire gave the incident varying degrees of coverage.
The police officially launched an investigation.
However, since no one died or was seriously injured during the entire incident, which was under Su Yu's control, the police were not overly concerned.
As for Su Yu, he was already on his way across the desert with Morning Star, heading toward the Lankte Alliance.
Mercury and other informants had been dealt with by Su Yu before he left Red Forest Town.
This operation was incredibly fruitful for Su Yu!
He obtained over 200 bottles of spirit energy, worth at least 20 million Sunfire Credits.
He also secured a substantial amount of cash, about 3 million Sunfire Credits.
In addition to these, he acquired a tungsten-steel solar-powered mech (Third-Stage, the principal's mech), dozens of medicinal herbs, thousands of forging materials, hundreds of pre-made potions, and hundreds of pieces of equipment.
Most importantly, Su Yu obtained the textbooks for various subjects and the cultivation techniques for the first four stages of the four major professions from the Spirit Cultivation School.
The primary reason Su Yu attacked the Spirit Cultivation School was to get these textbooks and advanced techniques.
Unlike Earth, where high-level knowledge is freely available on the internet, the knowledge on Skrul was not. To obtain it, one had to go through the Spirit Cultivation Schools.
He successfully retrieved these techniques from the core exhibition room of the library.
While Earth had several spirit energy cultivation systems, including Daoist, Buddhist, and physical cultivation, the number of ancient masters who survived was few, and their cultivation methods were not well-structured.
Skrul, on the other hand, had a mature and complete spirit energy cultivation system, as the spirit energy on Skrul had never been depleted.
Bringing this system back to Earth could help them learn from the enemy to defeat them.
Especially for the players of Evolution, who hardly need to eat or sleep after reaching higher stages, they could use the 12 hours outside the game to cultivate Skrul techniques, further enhancing their strength.
These techniques were the fundamental reason why Su Yu ransacked the school.
As for why he used the gang to carry out the robbery instead of doing it himself, there was another reason.
If Su Yu had infiltrated the school himself to steal the textbooks and advanced techniques, the news of "Red Forest Town Spirit Cultivation School's Advanced Techniques Stolen" would have made the headlines the next day, potentially drawing the attention of the Sunfire Empire's higher-ups.
But when Su Yu controlled the gang to carry out the robbery, things were different.
Since Mercury and the principal had a feud, the police would naturally assume that Mercury was behind the crime as an act of revenge. The journalists would focus on the grudge between Mercury and the principal, overlooking the more critical issue of the stolen high-tier cultivation techniques.
Moreover, with no serious injuries or deaths, the police wouldn't take the matter too seriously, which would indirectly buy more time.
If the police had the capability to investigate and discover that the gang was controlled by an unknown powerful figure, it would take several days for them to realize the severity of the situation. By then, Su Yu might already be back on Earth.
The entire plan went smoothly.
After completing the plan, Su Yu left Red Forest Town and flew westward toward the Renkter Alliance.
Morning Star, now equipped with a smartphone, didn't want to stay in the pet space anymore. As Su Yu flew through the sky, she kept playing on her phone, lying on his back.
There was no internet or signal in the desert, but Morning Star had already downloaded a lot of novels, videos, and even standalone games, so she could enjoy herself offline and wasn't bored at all.
After flying for over three hours across the vast desert, Su Yu used the "Invisibility Spell" to cross the border wall between the two countries and enter the territory of the Renkter Alliance.
Beyond the border wall was still an endless expanse of desert. Su Yu flew toward the nearest town, planning to obtain a legal identity first and then head to the capital of the Renkter Federation, Trenera City, to look for opportunities.
After another 20 kilometers of flight, Su Yu suddenly stopped and stood on a sand dune.
Morning Star stopped playing on her phone and jumped onto Su Yu's shoulder. "Why did you stop flying, Su Yu? Is something wrong?"
Morning Star, now looking like a cute Pikachu, had become even more adorable than before.
"There are two things," Su Yu nodded. "First, give me your phone."
"Why?" Morning Star's forehead creased with a question mark. "Why do you want to check my phone? Even couples should have some privacy, right?"
"..." Su Yu felt a vein throb in his forehead. "I'm worried that your phone will connect to the local network. If it does, the Renkter Alliance will easily discover a phone from the Flame Emperor Kingdom suddenly appearing in their territory, which could lead them to us."
"You have a point," Morning Star conceded, reluctantly handing over her phone. She still had a lot of content she hadn't finished.
Su Yu casually put both their phones into the necklace.
Then, he took out the "Hearthstone" from the necklace and set the sand dune beneath his feet as his "Home."
[Hearthstone (Golden)]
Usage: Set the location beneath your feet as your "Home."
Effect: Activating the Hearthstone at any location will teleport you back to your "Home."
Cooldown: 2 hours. Maximum teleportation distance: 1000 kilometers.
He was less than 1000 kilometers from Trenera City, and the casting time for the Hearthstone was 2.5 seconds.
Even if he encountered a Seventh Rank Legendary powerhouse, finding a 2.5-second window to cast the spell would be relatively easy. With the Hearthstone, his life was now more secure.
After setting the Hearthstone, Su Yu took off again and flew toward the nearest Renkter town, called "Wanda."
