Chapter 182: Chapter 182: The Dominance of the Security Chief Chapter 182: Chapter 182: The Dominance of the Security Chief Chu You arrived at his guild’s exchange. There weren’t many players in Yan Kingdom’s Royal City, and the exchange was scantily populated, with fewer than ten people scattered about. At the moment, they were all fully absorbed in their trade interface and didn’t notice Chu You entering.

Upon choosing the exchange, a menu popped up immediately. In the cash settlement section, Chu You discovered that there were 250,000 Gold Coins available for him to claim. Not only did these coins result from the equipment he sold, but a large portion also came from different types of handling fees. The fact that he had received 250,000 Gold Coins in just 3 to 4 in-game days since the last time he collected his settlement coins, attests to the well-recognized position his guild exchange held among the players.

In the long run, the Yan Kingdom’s Official Exchange would be completely ousted from the trading market by Chu You’s guild.

In the end, in the purchase section, Chu You took out all 20 Purple Gold Sand Powders that he had acquired. He opened the character equipment column and looked at the Sacred Level boots. This growth-type Sacred Level equipment now showed it could evolve.

The conditions for evolution were 20 Purple Gold Sand Powders, 30 Spirit Stones, and his own level had already surpassed level 20, all of these Chu You had met.

Once he arrived at a corner of the exchange, Chu You chose to evolve with a single thought.

He found himself half a foot off the ground, hovering. The Skywalk Flying Shoes glowed brightly, an energy aura emanating from inside them. After 5 seconds, the glow vanished, and Chu You stood on the ground.

Skywalk Flying Shoes (Sacred Level, with growth attributes). Attribute details: Overall attributes +7, Physical Strength +50, Attack Power +75, Magic Power Attack +28, Physical Defense +210, Hit Rate +47, Life Points +480, Magic Points +500, Speed +20, PvP Attack Power +12%, PvP Defense Power +12%.

Evolution Requirements: Player reaches level 25, require 500 Spirit Stones, 10 Shiny Crystals, and 20 Brilliant Auden Fragments.

After reading, Chu You went to the exchange and set up a purchase order for the required Shiny Crystals and Auden Fragments in the purchase section. Each Shiny Crystal was priced at 100 Gold Coins by Chu You, and the Auden Fragments likewise. After depositing the total required amount of gold, Chu You quietly logged off.

…

At this moment, sunshine was shining on the Game Pod in the bedroom, the room was neat and tidy, the exquisite yet simple environment provided an extremely soothing feeling.

The Game Pod opened, Chu You stood up, feeling spirited, immediately followed by a protest from his stomach.

Looking at the time, it was now 9:43 in the morning.

After entering his personal bathroom, Chu You set the water and temperature for the wide white bathtub, and then returned to his bedroom.

After extracting a cigarette with a glass-colored cigarette holder from the beautiful cigarette box on the table, Chu You came to the sliding doors and sat down in a comfortable sightseeing chair. Chu You lit the cigarette, gazed out the window, and quickly fell into deep thought.

After finishing the cigarette and extinguishing it in the ashtray, Chu You stood up and entered the bathroom again. The white and exquisite bathtub was full of water, it felt great when he dipped his hand in.

Having done all that, Chu You felt extremely refreshed. He chose an ash-gray T-shirt and deep blue casual jeans that he’d bought from the mall before, and then opened the bedroom door and walked out.

At this moment, Chu You heard the sound of chopping from the kitchen. It seemed that Zhou Zhijun had started preparing for lunch.

Isn’t it a bit early? Chu You was a bit surprised by Zhou Zhijun’s advance preparations.

As Young Master Chu, he didn’t know that the delicious and exquisite meals he regularly ate required a lot of time to prepare every individual dish.

Zhou Zhijun was a bit lazy at ordinary times and had a minor case of the “lazy disease”, but she would become very focused when it came to her work. She was also someone who liked to finish what she started.

With that, Chu You came to the kitchen entrance but Zhou Zhijun was so engrossed in her work that she didn’t even notice him.

Watching as those skillful hands deftly yet carefully extracted the tender meat from the seafood shells, noticing the focused expression and the graceful profile of the side-turned Zhou Zhijun with her hair tied in a ponytail, Chu You felt somewhat dazed. He found her extraordinarily beautiful in that moment, exuding a certain magnetic charm. A desire surged within him to suddenly and gently pull her into his arms from behind.

‘Knock knock’, Chu You lightly tapped on the door frame, instantly pulling Zhou Zhijun out of her work state. She looked at Chu You, who stood by the transparent kitchen door, in surprise.

Chu You seemed to be more ‘radiant’ than before, causing Zhou Zhijun to blink her eyes.

“Sister Zijun, I have something to take care of and need to step out. I might come back late for lunch, so please go ahead and have your meal first!”

“Ah? Oh, okay then, I understand.”

“By the way, does the outfit fit you well?”

“Eh? The outfit? It fits really well, and it’s beautiful. Thank you, Young Master Chu!” Zhou Zhijun replies, her smile blossoming on her face. She is secretly amazed at how Chu You knew her exact measurements but chooses not to voice this.

“Mmm, I’m glad you like it. Now I must go. When Homer wakes up, please let him know about this. Okay, goodbye.”

“Mmm! Please be safe on the road.”

Once again, Chu You drove his super sports car, the Koenigsegg Agera, out of the villa district. The unique roaring sound of the engine attracted many passersby.

The sports car soon entered the city area and headed towards the cluster of skyscrapers not far away.

Before long, an indicator blinked, signaling that Chu You’s super sports car was pulling into a large skyscraper.

This skyscraper was the headquarters of his company.

However, an electronic gate blocked the wide entrance, stopping Chu You’s sports car.

Chu You understood that only the vehicles of company VIPs or management were allowed to park inside, in dedicated spots. These were typically the cars of various department heads and middle management level employees. The majority of the employees did not have the privilege of parking their cars here.

So where did the lower-level and mid-level employees park their vehicles?

All of them parked their vehicles in the underground garage of the building! There’s a dedicated passage to drive into the underground garage.

‘Beep!!’ Chu You honked the horn.

At the entrance to Chu You’s company building, there were two small structures on either side. These belonged to the security guard rooms. The one on the right handled visitor registrations, while the one on the left housed various surveillance screens relayed from CCTV cameras, tasked primarily with maintaining smooth traffic flow and other security matters.

Chu You’s company building also had a dedicated security room, and its responsibilities were self-explanatory.

“There’s a mysterious sports car outside, Xiao Hua go see what the person is here for,” the Security Chief told a young girl in a guard uniform, spotting the unique sports car parked at the gate on the CCTV screen.

“I guess it’s another rich kid trying to pick up some girl. They really can’t figure out what kind of place this is. Remember, if they can’t explain themselves, just kick them out!” the Security Chief said assertively.

Chu You’s company had no shortage of attractive female staff, which often led to unwanted attention. The Security Chief had zero tolerance for those situations, and he was certain that some female employee must have charmed this rich kid.

Because under normal circumstances, very few people came with sports cars to the company.
