Super Fusion

Chapter 16: A Sudden Accident on the Road

Before anyone in the neighborhood actually came out, Yu Ze practically fled, tiptoeing away from the seventh floor.

He never imagined that with his abilities, dealing with an ordinary person would end up so pathetic. Reaching the bottom of apartment 703, looking up at the bare walls between the buildings, Yu Ze felt a renewed sense of dejection.

Breaking through the window would be incredibly loud in the darkness.

"Damn it! This i***t, sleeping like a log, actually got such a precious jade?!"

Completely helpless, Yu Ze could only curse angrily, even if he was unwilling, and turned to walk towards his Mercedes.

He wondered if he should find a locksmith, or ask Young Master Gu to send someone to guard the place with him. But after thinking it over, it would be too humiliating to need help dealing with an ordinary person. Finally, Yu Ze, with a grim face, leaned back in the car and began to rest.

"Forget it, that's too risky. I'll just wait for that guy to leave."

Suppressing his anger, Yu Ze finally managed to calm himself down and waited in the car again.

But who knew that this wait would almost drive him crazy?

For three whole days, that guy barely left the house except to go downstairs to buy food at mealtimes.

Once, unable to contain his anger any longer, Yu Ze secretly sneaked into the landlord's floor and stole the key to room 703. He then went up at night to unlock it, but to his surprise, the key wouldn't open the door.

He was stunned for a long time before realizing that the other guy must have added another lock from the inside. Upon realizing this, Yu Ze completely broke down.

He hadn't slept well for several days, and even with his extraordinary energy, his head was spinning.

Xu Yu was completely unaware that during these past few days, a robber downstairs had been trying to enter his room and steal the jade he possessed.

Three days later, gazing at his energy level, which had slowly but steadily increased to 12, and the multiple portions of spiritual energy quietly suspended in the strange space within his mind, Xu Yu was practically bursting with excitement.

12 energy was equivalent to four times the various abilities of an ordinary person, and all of this had been achieved in just a few days. It was impossible for him not to be excited, especially since he still possessed several valuable jade stones and multiple reserves of spiritual energy.

He hadn't continued to fuse those spiritual energy, simply because he planned to save them after selling the two jade stones he already had to fuse new ones.

By this time, he had completely forgotten about finding a job. After all, once he sold these jade stones, he could accumulate a large amount of wealth, and it would be pointless to look for an ordinary job then.

"It's been over three days; it's time to go out and sell a piece of jade." Waking up again, feeling the comfortable morning sunlight, and with his energy level at its maximum of 12, Xu Yu smiled broadly.

However, beneath his smile was a hint of frustration. As his energy level increased, the recovery time after depleting his energy also became terrifyingly long. Three energy points required eight hours of sleep to replenish, and twelve energy points required 32 hours. Moreover, it was difficult to wake up before his energy was fully replenished. He couldn't even imagine how long he would sleep if his energy level continued to rise and he ran out of energy.

"It seems that unless absolutely necessary, I shouldn't wait until my energy is completely depleted before taking a break."

Walking down the building with practiced ease, Xu Yu didn't even notice the figure dozing violently inside a Mercedes parked for days on the roadside. He quickly headed towards Taikang Road.

Approaching Taikang Road, after getting off the bus, Xu Yu was still excited, his gaze towards the pedestrians around him filled with joy.

It was still morning, but for the jewelry and jade market, it was too early. So, there weren't many pedestrians on the street. Even the few who were there were people rushing past him, mostly latecomers to work nearby.

"Should I sell one piece for now, or two at a time? With this money, I can even start my own business..." His eyes gleamed with excitement, but Xu Yu suddenly saw three people walking slowly towards him.

One was a tall, middle-aged man, holding the hand of a girl of about seven or eight, teasing her. The girl was pouting, looking quite annoyed.

The man suddenly burst into laughter. On the other side was a beautiful woman with a smile, holding a handkerchief, gently wiping a gray stain from the man's mouth with tenderness.

Seeing this, Xu Yu felt a sudden pang of envy, a sense of peace washing over him. Such a harmonious scene was almost unheard of in his memory.

Perhaps sensing Xu Yu's gaze, the middle-aged man who was laughing suddenly turned around. Upon seeing Xu Yu's smiling face, he laughed as well and nodded.

Xu Yu smiled and nodded back.

Just then, the little girl who had been throwing a tantrum suddenly shook off the middle-aged man's hand, pouted, and ran away, seemingly letting out a soft, clear snort. At the same time, the middle-aged man laughed again, but still took steps to catch up.

The two were heading directly towards Xu Yu, and in the blink of an eye, they were several meters ahead of her.

However, the running girl suddenly tripped, letting out a scream, and fell forward. Xu Yu, who had been watching, was startled and swayed, quickly trying to step forward to help her. The middle-aged man, following behind, also moved at the same time.

When he saw Xu Yu reach out, a smile reappeared on his face.

But just then, Xu Yu, who had just made a move, suddenly changed his expression drastically. A deep sense of unease arose from behind him, a unease Xu Yu could swear he had never experienced before.

It was as if his entire spirit had been gripped by an immense force, suddenly lifted, leaving his heart hanging in mid-air.

At the same time, he felt his scalp tingle and his whole body tremble with extreme fear.

It wasn't just Xu Yu whose expression changed drastically; the middle-aged man to his side, who had been smiling and reaching for the little girl, also trembled, his face turning a dark blue-black in an instant.
