Chapter 17 Our Academy Has a Serial Killer
"How can there be a well in the Villa?"
Wang Mengmeng leaned over, peered down, then quickly recoiled. "That's really scary... won't something dirty crawl out of it in the middle of the night?"
As she spoke, she shivered.
Her words made all the girls a little afraid.
After all, wells in horror movies do have an ominous meaning.
"I can't see anything."
Yang Kexin also leaned over, shaking her head: "Maybe it's because it's too deep?"
Zhang Wanyue stood by the well, carefully examining the runes: "Hmm, it doesn't look like ordinary decoration."
Chen Yu walked over, and the girls automatically made way for him.
He looked down at the well, stretched out his hand, and pressed it on the well's edge.
The next second, a piece of information appeared:
[Name: Well of Abundance]
[Type: Living Area Special Building]
[Description: A deep well connected to an unknown space, from which various supplies emerge daily. At this stage, it can be retrieved once a day, and the retrieval result is random.]
[Remaining retrieval attempts: /1 (resets daily at midnight)]
[Note: Do not attempt to jump into the well; consequences are at your own risk.]
Chen Yu withdrew his hand and narrowed his eyes: "This is what Liu Ming mentioned... the well that can retrieve supplies..."
Zuo Shi also touched the wellhead, and after reading the information, she exclaimed: "We always thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect such a thing to actually exist. It's truly magical."
"It's just a pity, today's attempts are used up."
Chen Yu also secretly regretted that he couldn't immediately experience the joy of the Well of Abundance.
But it doesn't matter.
Ten Villas, ten wells, all would belong to him.
But there's no rush.
This is only the first day in the Living Area.
First, killing on the square, then seizing Villa No. 1 of Polytechnic University.
At this moment.
In the regional chat, he had already become a major villain, a truly influential figure.
Half of the chat was about him.
But this discussion was not enough for him to monopolize ten wells, because his battle achievements were not yet solid enough.
Liu Ming said that the team in the Villa Area...
Had guns.
Just because this group of people at Polytechnic Villa No. 1 didn't have them doesn't mean it's a rumor.
Guns would give carbon-based lifeforms absolute confidence.
The difficulty of easily taking all ten Villas was imaginable.
"Zuo Shi, what additional information did you see when you activated your Talent?"
Chen Yu turned his head.
Zuo Shi spoke seriously: "The next thing retrieved from this well will be a rare beverage."
"Oh?"
Wang Mengmeng's eyes lit up: "Beverage? What kind of beverage? Cola?"
Zuo Shi shook her head: "The information only said 'beverage,' I don't know what specific kind."
Yang Kexin stroked her chin: "So you can see what will be retrieved next?"
Zuo Shi first nodded, then shook her head: "Not necessarily, this is just one of many additional pieces of information. I can't guarantee what I'll see next time."
"Beverage..."
Chen Yu looked at the deep well and shook his head. Even with his rich experience, he couldn't guess what kind of beverage it would be.
"Alright, you all go pick your rooms first."
"It's almost dark too, so tidy up and get some rest early."
Hearing Chen Yu's words.
The girls all nodded.
"Finally, I can sleep on a soft bed. My back has been aching from sleeping in the car these past few days."
"Then I want the one with the terrace!"
"Then I'll choose the room on the second floor near the stairs."
"I want to sleep on the top floor, I like a wide view!"
They stretched and yawned, walking towards the stairs.
Zhang Wanyue paused halfway, turning her head: "What about you?"
Chen Yu shook his head: "I'll go up and pick later."
Zhang Wanyue didn't ask further, turning to follow the girls upstairs.
Qiao Xi spoke earnestly: "Chen Yu, my room is at the stairwell on the second floor. My Perception can almost cover half the hall. If there's any unusual movement, I'll contact Shen Qingci."
Shen Qingci smiled slightly: "Okay, thanks, Dr. Qiao."
Qiao Xi waved her hand: "We're teammates, there's no need for thanks. It's what I should do."
Chen Yu nodded: "Alright, the safety of the Villa is in your hands, senior sister. Tonight, I will continue to perform Exorcism on you. Speaking of which, you should be fully recovered in these two days."
Yes, even in the car, Chen Yu performed Exorcism every day, but only a little bit each time.
Now, the evil spirit was almost completely dispelled.
Chen Yu even felt a bit of regret.
Shen Qingci's face flushed: "Uh... okay, then come back early."
After speaking.
She and Qiao Xi also walked up to the second floor side by side.
The footsteps of the girls gradually faded, and Yang Kexin's shouts of "This bed is too soft, I'm going to sleep here forever!" and Wang Mengmeng's exclamations could still vaguely be heard.
In the hall, only Chen Yu remained.
He turned, walked out of the side hall, passed through the living room, and pushed open the Villa's front door.
The setting sun had already sunk below the horizon, leaving only a faint crimson line in the sky.
In the courtyard, the several corpses still lay where they were.
He walked to the center of the courtyard, removed his gloves, and activated the Grand Tutor Container.
Three seconds.
Five seconds.
Ten seconds.
When he opened his eyes again, it was another free attribute point.
This time he wanted to add to spirit, but after hesitating for a long time...
He still added it to Agility.
Although his Agility was as high as 25, he could barely turn while sprinting.
But in 1-on-many, high-intensity combat, Agility still couldn't keep up with constitution.
Not to mention dodging enemy attacks.
He now relied entirely on the golden body card and the demon-slaying gloves, but these were ultimately external forces.
It's better to raise Agility to 3 points first, and then consider spirit, to deal with the ghosts on the road later.
[Basic Attributes]
constitution: 1
Agility: 26 (16)
Perception: 1
charisma: 12 (2)
spirit: 1
luck: 1
Night was about to fall, and Chen Yu casually glanced at the chat box.
[Chen Jing: I just went to the Polytechnic's trading point to exchange for supplies. As soon as they heard I was from the Film Academy, they directly said they wouldn't trade and told us to get lost.]
[Zhao Lei: Really?]
[Chen Jing: Really. They said our academy produced a murderer who slaughtered their Polytechnic people like pigs. Now the Polytechnic side is furious and said they won't trade with us anymore.]
[Sun Feifei: Alas, it's that Chen Yu from the Acting Department who stole their Villa.]
[Song Yang: Now we're all implicated.]
[Guo Tao: Why? What does the person he killed have to do with us?]
[Gao Min: Are you going to reason with the Polytechnic people? They get angry just seeing someone from the Film Academy.]
[Ma Dong: I don't even dare to say I'm from the Film Academy now; I walk around the Polytechnic area.]
[Wang Feng: What the hell... how did our Film Academy produce such a guy?]
[Liu Yang: Demon!]
[Chen Jing: We're just unlucky.]
[Zhao Lei: Alright, stop talking. Be careful he sees the chat history and comes looking for you.]
[Song Yang: ...]
[Song Yang: He probably won't look at the chat box, right?]
[Guo Tao: Who knows?]
[Song Yang: I'm going to sleep, good night.]
Chen Yu shook his head, closing the frantically scrolling regional chat.
These people probably wouldn't imagine.
The demon they spoke of had no intention of sleeping, but was excitedly looking into the distance...
There, was Villa No. 6, belonging to the Film Academy.
