My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

"Chen Yu?!" The male officer, as if struck by lightning, screamed in terror.

Chen Yu, hearing the shout, turned around and immediately smiled.

This officer was indeed the one who had initially arrested him.

Chen recalled that his partner at the time was a rather beautiful policewoman...

"Brother, long time no see," Chen Yu greeted warmly, "How's your partner, Miss? Is she pregnant?"

"No... I dare not! I dare not!" The male officer, terrified, bowed repeatedly, "Greetings, Transcendent sir. Good to see you."

"Transcendent?!"

The elder desk officer behind the counter suddenly trembled, spilling goji berry tea all over himself.

"Long time no see, have you been promoted recently?" Chen Yu approached, sizing him up.

"Lord, your visit to Red Clay Pit, is there any instruction?" the male officer trembled, maintaining his bow.

"Don't be so formal," Chen Yu smiled, "I still prefer your unyielding demeanor from before."

The male officer nearly wet himself from fear.

The desk officer recognized Chen Yu at this moment, feeling as if he had seen a ghost.

The short criminal suddenly jumped up, exclaiming, "You are Chen Yu! Chen... Chen Yu, sir? The one who defeated all challengers in the arena? I know you! When you killed that centaur yesterday, I was just..." Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire

"Shut up!"

The desk officer yelled explosively, interrupting the short criminal's speech. He then walked out from behind the desk, bowing repeatedly, "Sir, please... please follow me to the VIP room to rest."

"No need."

The reactions of everyone made Chen Yu feel rather indifferent; he waved his hand, "I'm here to see your deputy chief, summon him."

"Yes! I'll call him right now." The elderly officer quickly took out his phone.

Chen Yu said, "I thought you didn't recognize an ugly chief."

"Now that you mention it! Indeed, there was one, really ugly! Extremely ugly!"

As the elder officer made the call,

soon, the familiar face—the deputy chief—appeared.

Following him were the chief, the director, and even the mayor of Qingcheng City.

It was a grand procession.

"Chen Yu! I've heard much about you! To see you today is a great honor!" The mayor stepped forward eagerly, shaking Chen Yu's hand, "Welcome to Qingcheng. On behalf of a million citizens of Qingcheng, I feel..."

"Shut up."

Chen Yu, impatient, shook off his hand and pointed directly at the deputy chief in the crowd, "I'm here to see my friend. Don't bother me."

The whole crowd was shocked.

In disbelief, they all turned their heads to look in the direction Chen Yu was pointing.

The deputy chief, feeling overly flattered, seemed somewhat at a loss.

Chen Yu didn't care about the crowd's reaction, and pushed through the people. He draped an arm around the deputy chief's shoulders and forcibly led him out of the police station door.

Many officials present instinctively wanted to follow, but a cold glance from Chen Yu scared them off from making any further moves.

"Chen... Chen Yu, sir," they walked quite a distance, the deputy chief's muscles tensed, his voice hoarse, "Are you wanting to..."

"Just call me Chen Yu," he let go of him, his face calm as he continued leading the way, "I was just idle and thought about having a tour guide take me around. I don't have any friends here in Qingcheng. It had to be you."

"No problem." The deputy chief quickly regained his composure, bowing respectfully, "Sir, at your command."

Chen Yu knew.

The immense gap between their statuses, like a chasm, made equal communication impossible.

It had been clearly shown during the last operation that "rounded up the evil creatures."

At the moment, he carried the reputation of sweeping through the arena. Even in the Transcendent realm, no one would underestimate him, let alone ordinary people in the "mundane world."

"Qingcheng, any recommended tourist spots?" Chen Yu stopped, inquiring.

"Uh... Qingcheng is just an ordinary small city with no tourist resources," the deputy chief spoke cautiously, "If I must choose a scenic spot, the Southern Mountain Zoo is the best option."

"Forget it, just random wandering is fine," Chen Yu waved his hand, disinterested.

This visit was not about immediately returning to the capital but to wander around Qingcheng, wanting to observe "people."

Animals were not what he found interesting.

When accompanying that "squad" to the Ten Thousand Tribes Law Enforcement Center, there would be plenty of animals to see.

"Here we go,"

Suddenly, Chen Yu spotted a cyber café by the roadside and immediately raised his hand pointing to the sign, "It's been years since I've been to one."

"Please, this way!" The deputy chief became alert, stepping forward decisively to hold the glass door open respectfully for Chen Yu.

Chen Yu entered, looking around.

The café was nearly empty, dull and lifeless.

Apart from a few dirty-faced cyber café gods, hardly any screens were even on.

Chen Yu stood in place and quietly "admired" for a while before saying to the sleepy girl at the front desk, "Beauty, set up a computer for me."

"Do you have an ID?" The girl asked without looking up, yawned, and stretched her hand across the front desk.

Chen Yu subconsciously reached for his pocket when suddenly the deputy chief quickly stepped forward, "Sir, use mine."

"Okay."

"For how many hours?" the girl asked.

"Just one hour is fine."

"Five yuan for an hour."

It was also the deputy chief who paid the money.

Chen Yu led the way to the second floor. While sniffing the unique smell of the internet cafe, he told the deputy chief, "The internet cafe, oh, it's a great place. I remember when getting online was very cheap, this amount was enough."

He held up two fingers.

"But now, well, it takes this amount." He then spread out all five fingers.

"Although it was cheap before, the machines were mostly not new, but the hardware was quite good. The mouse felt comfortable to the touch and the system felt good to operate. You could also use a flash drive to transfer files. Of course, that's assuming you weren't afraid of getting a virus."

"If you were cautious, we all used '360 Safeguard' at that time."

"Oh right, there were also many unlicensed black internet cafes back then. The good thing was that the prices were really low, but many people had used the machines. They were old and full of viruses. Even with 360 installed, to be honest, it wasn't necessarily effective. You could end up, alas, with a completely ruined flash drive."

"The owner's attitude was also poor, damn, always rushing you to be quick. The experience was too bad."

"And then times changed."

Chen Yu sat down in front of the computer, didn't even turn it on, his gaze became distant as he fell into reminiscence.

"When we went to college, we started to go to the campus internet cafe."

"You could get a monthly pass! Cost-effective! The machines had especially good performance! Lots of features, and almost no viruses, even safe without 360. And, the campus machines had at least three USB ports, each able to accommodate a flash drive. Ah..."

Suddenly sighing, Chen Yu shook his head, "Time flies, never to return. Indeed, it's been a long time since I've been to an internet cafe."

The deputy chief: "..."

Standing behind Chen Yu, professional instinct prompted him countless times to reach for his handcuffs. But strong rationality kept this impulse firmly suppressed.

In cooperation, he forced a smile, "You... you're right."

No more words were spoken.

Chen Yu turned on the computer and casually played "Fantasy Westward Journey," but finding the gold prices had fallen, he quickly lost interest and went on to sell his account.

Then he opened the retro game "Dungeon Fighter," played a few rounds, didn't quite grasp it, and hastily quit.

Half an hour later.

"Whoosh!"

Chen Yu pushed the keyboard away and stood up, "Alright, let's change places."

For the next three hours or so.

The two of them strolled, stopped at will, and wandered aimlessly.

They visited the park to watch the elderly dance.

They went to the amusement park to watch children play.

They went to schools to watch students do gymnastics.

They visited a cinema to see couples kissing.

With their feet, they covered most of the small Qingcheng Town.

The deputy chief didn't understand Chen Yu's intention.

Chen Yu himself wasn't clear about his own thoughts either.

He just kept walking relentlessly, emptying his emotions, relaxing his mind, shedding his worries, forgetting his stress.

Unrestrainedly feeling the worldly life of this small town.

Experiencing people's joy, disputes, calmness, eagerness...

Finally.

When Chen Yu and the deputy chief emerged from "Zhang Lang Spicy Bright" diner full and satisfied, they were suddenly confronted by five figures in military vests.

Blocking their way.

"Chen Yu," the leader, a burly man in armor, said emotionlessly, "I finally found you."

Chen Yu ignored him and instead turned to look at the deputy chief, saying, "Bro, let's call it a day. Thanks for keeping me company. I'll take my leave now."

"Ah…" Sweating under the pressure of the burly man's presence, the deputy chief stammered, "Okay… okay."

"Let's go."

Chen Yu stretched lazily, stepped closer to the armored strongman, then turned around to take one last look at the bustling scene of Qingcheng Town.

Deep down, he made a decision.
