Chapter 69 A Troublesome Kid (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
Chu Zhu forced herself to memorize it, managing to memorize one-tenth! And then, that was it...

Chu Zhu swore he had never memorized anything so painfully! He would rather find a novel or textbook and memorize it from beginning to end than memorize these procedures...

The main problem is that Chu Zhu doesn't understand any of this stuff. So memorizing it really just means rote memorization! No matter how strong your memory is, this kind of boring memorization... will only make you feel extremely painful.

"Let's go back and find Senior Zhao first! Let's see if he has any budding talents on Lingdong Star... It's always a good thing if we can carry less on our backs."

Chu Zhu patted her cheeks and then asked, "What time is it now?"

"It's 3:08 PM Beijing time!"

"We'll meet up with Zhang Hai in 52 minutes! Considering the time it takes to get there, we should have 22 minutes left." Chu Zhu calculated for a moment, then continued, "Nuwa 17, retrieve pirated novels! List all the popular novels from 2025 onwards!"

Seeing the countless novel titles, Chu Zhu smiled and clicked on the first one.

……

Four p.m.

At the entrance of the church in the third district.

Chu Zhu and Zhang Hai reunited.

"Master, can't you really take me with you?" Zhang Xu bit his lower lip, a hint of resentment on his face.

"Listen to me!" Zhang Hai said gently. "We have Mass tonight! If we all leave, we can't let the grandmothers and those unreliable priests handle it, can we? I'm worried about that. You have a lot on your plate; the family is all in your hands!"

After a long silence, Zhang Xu nodded.

After a while.

“…I’m sorry!” Zhang Hai followed behind Chu Zhu, his face apologetic. “Zhang Xu has been following me since he was very young! But he doesn’t have a good enough understanding of my strength…so he’s inevitably a little worried about me!”

"..." Chu Zhu rolled his eyes. Not to mention Zhang Xu, even he didn't know much about Zhang Hai's strength! What impressed him most was the scene in the ruins timeline where Zhang Xu transformed into an angel.

But then again, how impressive was that angelic transformation? Could he really defeat an assassin, or... a high-ranking member of the Omnipotent Society?

Chu Zhu glanced at Zhang Hai, but he didn't care. If he couldn't beat him, he could just commit suicide and reset!
"Where do we go next?" Zhang Hai asked. Seeing that Chu Zhu didn't answer, he didn't mind, treating it as a chance to clear his head, and casually glanced around.

As he walked, Zhang Hai's expression gradually changed. First, he wavered, then became confused, and then...

"Are you sure you haven't gone to the wrong place?"

Looking at the red and green street, and at the scantily clad, alluring men and women on the street, Zhang Hai confirmed his earlier guess, and at this moment he felt his scalp tingle.

“Happy Street! That’s right.” Chu Zhu glanced at Zhang Hai with some curiosity, then at the lofty signboard, and showed an ambiguous expression. “If the Omnipotent Society doesn’t take root here, where do you think it will take root?”

"??? Are you sure it's the Omnipotent Society that's set up shop here?" Zhang Hai couldn't hold back any longer. "This place, no, even if something really is going to take root here... shouldn't it be the Hehuan Society? This, is this right..."

Chu Zhu didn't reply; he thought Zhang Hai had asked a stupid question. The Hehuan Society did indeed secretly interfere in many brothel-related businesses, but that didn't mean the Omnipotent Society and the Five Poisons Society didn't get involved in these matters!

For these demonic sects, making money is the top priority! And gambling and prostitution are naturally the most profitable businesses.

"Boss! I was introduced by Captain Qi." Chu Zhu walked into an adult products store and spoke directly to the burly owner. "By the way, have you been underpaying your security fees lately? Captain Qi has been complaining about it!"

"...Huh?" The boss's impatience froze. He rubbed his hands together, and a fawning smile appeared on his face. "Oh, it's you! Why the change this time... No, I have no problem with you... Um, I remember the security fee was... Oh, I see, is it going to go up again!"

A wry smile appeared on the boss's face.

"Hmph! Whether prices rise or not is up to us to decide." Chu Zhu said arrogantly.

The boss's expression remained normal, but his clenched fists betrayed that his true feelings were not as they appeared. "I see..."

Thoughts raced through the boss's mind. He realized that perhaps Captain Qi hadn't actually increased the security fee... But, but what about these little devils!

damn it!
"I need two invitations to the masked party!" Chu Zhu spoke again, rubbing his hands together playfully. "I've heard the captain talk about this before, and I'd like to broaden my horizons... If you have any, the security fee can be delayed a little longer!"

"???" The boss was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and his expression changed.

Finally, the shopkeeper regained his composure, a knowing smile appearing on his face. "No problem! I don't usually sell these masked party invitations to just anyone... but since you're one of Captain Qi's men, it's definitely no problem! Come on, sign here..."

"And as for the price, I'll give you a 30% discount. I'd appreciate it if you could put in a good word for me with Captain Qi..."

"I'm not targeting you personally, 30% off is the highest I've promised! Besides, besides, it involves a masked party... I'm afraid even though you're Captain Qi's confidant, you wouldn't dare to go too far, right? That would make it difficult for you to explain to the captain, wouldn't it? Not to mention, aren't the profits going to Captain Qi?"

At that moment, the boss's confidence actually surged. If it really was just a clueless kid, then there was truly nothing he could do...

But this involves such sensitive matters! If someone dares to act recklessly, he'll report it to Captain Qi, and Captain Qi will be the first to not let the person off the hook.

After staring at the boss for a while, Chu Zhu snorted coldly and signed her name in a flamboyant manner. Zhang Hai's eye twitched slightly; he was certain that the name Chu Zhu had signed was definitely not Chu Zhu's own. And this Captain Qi...

"Price: 300 yuan!" The shopkeeper quickly emerged from the inner room, producing two unremarkable invitations, each bearing a ghost mask. "30% off, 90 yuan!"

"What are you looking at? Pay up!" Chu Zhu looked at Zhang Hai, who was waiting, with some confusion. How could he have no sense of propriety at all?

Zhang Hai: "???"

What?! I pay?!
Zhang Hai immediately bristled, "I... oh."

Zhang Hai quickly deflated, realizing that he was the one who had begged Chu Zhu to resolve this matter. It certainly shouldn't have been Chu Zhu paying the money…

But the problem is...
