Dark Blood Age

Chapter 397

The yellow mask was a tool that was similar to the Xuan Bo energy shield. The only difference between them was that the mask was made by humans, and had the ability to transfer earth elemental energy into the user’s body.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t plan to change its structure or enhance its ability. Instead, he planned to improve its elasticity and make it look less like a mask, but more like a real face when it was put on.

He didn’t know what would happen tomorrow, and how risky it would be. So he needed a second plan.

However, modifying the mask was not easy, especially when he only had one mask.

So Chu Yunsheng tried his best to study the structure of the mask while sitting in the dark corner of a street.

His forehead was covered with sweat, the intense concentration made him very tired. Only when it became late at night did he finally complete it.

He put on the mask and used a mirror to see the result. It was not too bad. It was an albeit slightly yellow, but smooth-skinned young man’s face.

When he removed the mask, it was now a slightly skinny, but scarred and grim face of a middle-aged man.

His height and body shape couldn’t be changed. He could only use different clothes to disguise himself.

The only trouble was his grey hair.

It was too obvious. If it weren’t for the fact that he had used his rolled-up balaclava mask to cover his long grey hair when he was riding Dark in the sky, they probably would have already found him.

After he finished the mask however he still felt worried. So he decided to make a few fiery talismans, in case he had to fight with the aliens from the ice race.

When he got back to the hotel, it was already quite late. Gen Zi was sound asleep on his bed, probably tucked in by the girl. The girl was sitting on a chair, it seemed like she was waiting for Chu Yunsheng.

Two men and one woman living together in a standard sized room was indeed not convenient. Gen Zi slept on one bed while Chu Yunsheng took up another. The girl could only sleep on the ground. Fortunately, the ground was covered with carpets, and the hotel seemed to be supplied with enough quilt for her to use.

After Chu Yunsheng went to bed, the girl also went to sleep.

The banquet started in the afternoon. So, there was enough time for Chu Yunsheng to find the long-haired young man in the morning.

He had promised the young man a very high price and told him yesterday that he required a detailed internal map of the dark studio’s territory. So he wanted to go and see if the man had got the map or not.

“Did I do or say anything stupid last night right?” Gen Zi was holding his head and said. The hangover gave him a pounding headache in the morning, and he didn’t know why his neck was also very painful.

“No, Why are you asking? ” Chu Yunsheng replied casually.

“Nothing, nothing...” Gen Zi knitted his brows and said.

“This is the money I borrowed from you yesterday.” Chu Yunsheng took out a stack of paper money and passed it to Gen Zi.

Yesterday, gentleman San had asked Lu Ting to give him some money, so he didn’t have any problem with money at the moment.

“Holy shit! How did you get money so quickly!” Gen Zi shook his head to wake himself up and said.

“Oh right, I heard from the Captain that the princess of dark studio wants to see you? Let me give you some advice. If they want to reward you or give you some money, don’t be shy to ask for more. They are a bunch of filthy rich fuckers.” he added while happily taking the money from Chu Yunsheng.

After the meal, Chu Yunsheng went back to the city west entrance again. He gave the long-haired young man 1000 Lun worth of banknotes after he received the map from him.

He then spent some time restoring his energy while on the way back to the hotel.

When he got back to the hotel, Lu Ting was already waiting for him at the concierge. He quickly got changed and followed him to an area that was controlled by the dark studio.

Looking at the colorful birthday banners hanging above the streets and on the side of buildings, Chu Yunsheng finally knew the name of the so-called princess. Her name was Tang Yi.

Although Lu Ting and Chu Yunsheng were invited, they were not allowed in from the front entrance. They were only allowed in from the staff entrance.

The main entrance was used only to welcome those people from the upper-class.

Despite getting into the area from the staff entrance, Chu Yunsheng could still clearly hear the announcement every time someone important showed up.

...

“Wang Ganli, the commander of the 17th Division, brought his family to wish...”

“The president of the Bank of the Qi Family, Qi Tuwei and his wife wish...”

“The vice-president of phantom union, Li Yue and Gentlemen San wish....”

...

“The CEO of The Lin Family Food Corporate Missus Lin Yuzhi....”

“The chairman of the armament group corporate Zhou Xingdai...”

...

Chu Yunsheng who was standing far away from the “red carpet”, was trying his best to see and remember the look of each person who walked on the red carpet.

Amongst those people, there must be someone that was carrying the map. All he needed to do now was to wait for the connection to the map to resume again.

The place was crowded with all the important people in Shu Du City, all of them were brightly dressed, and all of their faces were filled with smiles. Everyone was busy greeting each other, but not a single person realized that the very person that made the entire ice race suffer a huge headache had already sneaked into their banquet.

It was sumptuous, luxurious, and most importantly it was wastefully extravagant.

This was Chu Yunsheng’s reaction after the first glance. He hadn’t seen some of the food that was placed on the white tablecloths for ages, and there were even some luxury items that he had never even seen even in the age of light.

Moreover, there was also no insect meat here!

To those upper-class people, the insect’s meat was the food for commoners, although they also needed to eat them at the beginning of the Dark age.

Chu Yunsheng roughly estimated, with this amount of food, they could easily feed tens times the amount of people compared to the guests.

However, what surprised him even more, was that some women were feeding their pets using food that even Gen Zi couldn’t afford.

Chu Yunsheng sneered, no wonder why Gen Zi told him to not be shy about asking for more. They were indeed filthy rich.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t know where to go. Amongst all the guests that were invited, he and Lu Ting only knew the woman called Shi Yi. So while he was waiting for people to call them, Chu Yunsheng and Lu Ting were both trying to store as much food as they could. Chu Yunsheng was also constantly using his storage talisman to secretly store it as well.

After a while, the place suddenly went quiet. Then, Chu Yunsheng noticed that a woman with a white dress appeared at the entrance.

He quickly moved behind a person to hide and listen.

“The representative of the Ice messenger Missus Miao Hui wishes....”

“Mr. Tang, I’m sorry that the Ice messenger couldn’t come here in person due to some unexpected businesses. I hope you don’t mind that they only sent me here.” said the woman who was shaking her hands with a man who was probably Tang Yi’s father.

“Not at all, not at all, it’s my honor to have you here.” the man responded appropriately. However, there was a sign of pity flashed in his eyes.

Chu Yunsheng glanced at the birthday girl, who was also dressed in white, and slightly moved to a dark corner to carry on “stealing” more food.

From one table to another, Chu Yunsheng noticed that despite how much food he stole, all the empty tables would quickly be replenished again.

Tang Yi seemed to have forgotten that she needed to see Chu Yunsheng. From the afternoon party until the beginning of the dinner, she still had not asked gentleman San to call for him.

But during his quest of stealing food, Chu Yunsheng had seen her being surrounded by several young men quite a few times. One of those young men was gentleman San.

The third-form green-shelled insect’s shell was made into a small and pretty combat armor overnight by both Dark Studio and the Armament Group Corporate. It was currently displayed next to the birthday cake. So gentleman San had gained a good amount of recognition.

The emcee was constantly giving speeches. However, Chu Yunsheng didn’t know a single word he was saying. All he could hear was music being played by an unknown band.

When it was about time to cut the cake, Chu Yunsheng still hadn’t found the man that carried the map. While he was waiting, the connection to the map had twice resumed. But both times still pointed to the military barracks. So Chu Yunsheng was now not sure if the man was going to show up or not.

It was at this moment, a person stood up from his table and walked towards the emcee.

As Chu Yunsheng looked carefully, he noticed that the person was the young master from the Lin family, and the face of gentleman San who was not far from him didn’t seem to be happy at all.

“Ladies and gentlemen! Our dear princess has a little request. She is curious about how the third-form green-shelled insect was discovered, and I believe that everyone here would also like to hear it. So please welcome the mister who discovered it first.” The emcee suddenly said.

Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second. Lu Ting poked his back and said: “They are calling for you. Watch out what you are going to say. One mistake, one life!”
