I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 667 Searching for Materials and Old Acquaintances

"Elinda, listen to me carefully. You're staying home today. You're not going anywhere, and you're not allowed to participate in any of that club's activities after this!"

The middle-aged man's voice became somewhat stern as he issued a warning.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing his daughter nod in agreement.

Then he turned around and expressed his gratitude to Chu Yang.

"Handsome young man, thank you so much for your kindness. I will definitely support Elinda in the future."

"As a thank you, you can choose any clothes you like in our store, and I will sell them to you at cost price."

Chu Yang naturally wouldn't refuse, since the ten pounds he had wouldn't last long.

Besides, his reminder just now definitely justifies the discount.

Since Erinda's father is making such a grand show, he naturally has to pay more attention to this matter as well.

"Let's ask again in a few days, lest that rookie teacher really leads a group of club members to their deaths."

Chu Yang made up his mind in his heart.

That evening, Chu Yang decided to continue analyzing the corresponding formula for Sequence Eight.

After all, finding the materials for Sequence Nine is a process that may take some time.

If you come across any other useful materials during this process, you can collect them along the way.

Unfortunately, even after using the Pure White Eyes, they still gained nothing in the end.

"What's going on here? Am I not yet capable of deciphering higher levels of occult knowledge?"

The Lord was absolutely baffled.

Despite working all night, he still didn't achieve anything.

The next day, under a sky full of stars, Chu Yang woke up and went to that coffee shop again for breakfast.

However, this time he did not wait for Miss Hugh.

Perhaps the woman is still verifying the information she received yesterday regarding the role-playing method.

"Forget it, let's collect the extraordinary materials that readers need first."

Chu Yang shook his head, utterly disappointed, and began collecting all the materials needed to officially become an Extraordinary Person.

Besides some extraordinary materials, to become an extraordinary being, you also need some auxiliary materials.

Many of the auxiliary materials are easy to find, such as water containing some impurities.

The entire production process requires first obtaining distilled water from the experimental equipment, and then adding fixed impurities into it.

There are also several special plants, and Chu Yang has to personally make a trip to the suburbs to successfully collect them.

In total, it took Chu Yang a whole day to collect all the auxiliary materials.

As evening approached, feeling utterly bored, Chu Yang took a public carriage and soon arrived at the bar street.

He came here not for pleasure, but to attend an underground trade fair held at the church.

"According to the story, the so-called underground gathering of the All-Knowing Eye should be in a very secluded place in the church area."

"Now I'll have to look for it properly. I'll go find the doorman at a certain bar."

Having made up his mind, Chu Yang headed straight to the bar to search for the well-hidden doorman.

Although the guy's job was ostensibly a doorman, his real identity was the owner of the bar.

Unfortunately, he searched through all the passages but still couldn't find the guy.

"Perhaps it's in a bar?"

Chu Yang immediately made a decision and went into the bar.

This is precisely when bars start to get busy, and the number of people in the venues is increasing.

As soon as Chu Yang stepped through the gate, he felt a wave of heat hit him directly.

Of course, this is accompanied by a very strong beer aroma.

The bars here are fundamentally different from modern bars; at least the quality of the people who frequent them is much lower.

After briefly identifying the direction, he still couldn't find the target, so he decided to perfectly replicate everything Klein had done, as recorded in the story.

He walked to the bar and sat down in a relaxed tone.

"Please give me a glass of red rum."

This is a well-known local beer, but Chu Yang and his predecessor had never tried it.

"3 pence."

The bartender seemed very familiar with this situation; while he was mediating, he was already demanding revenge.

Soon, a wooden wine glass was placed on the bar, filled with a rich, golden liquid.

Although this stuff is called red rum, its overall color is actually a completely golden yellow.

"This wine has a very strong aftereffect, so guests should be a little careful."

Seemingly noticing that Chu Yang looked rather young, the bartender kindly offered a reminder.

After all, in this chaotic era, it's not just beautiful women who get picked up after getting drunk; there are also some handsome men.

And Chu Yang just happened to be in that group.

Chu Yang carefully examined the wine glass in front of him but did not drink it immediately.

He was faithfully carrying out Klein's every action.

After looking for nearly ten seconds, Chu Yang suddenly spoke up: "I came to see Palos. He sent me here."

This guy is the one who guided Klein to join the underground trading society in the original story.

Sure enough, the bartender's expression changed upon hearing the name.

"You can get room number four by going in through that corridor."

The bartender's attitude became much more professional, and he stopped saying any more nonsense to Chu Yang.

Palos is no good person, so how could anyone who associates with him be a simple guy?

If there really is a lustful demon targeting this young man, it's hard to say who will suffer the consequences.

When Chu Yang pushed open the door to room number four following the directions, he found that there were already four or five people sitting inside.

"Hello everyone, I'm here to see Palos."

Chu Yang spoke calmly, but his gaze unhesitatingly turned towards the deepest part of the room.

"I don't remember ever knowing you."

An old man, over fifty years old, stood up, wearing a black robe.

He was about to stand up and speak to Chu Yang, but he was immediately shocked when he saw Chu Yang's appearance clearly.

"Bicente, what are you doing here?"

Chu Yang was equally surprised to hear this.

Why couldn't he find any recollection of Palos in his predecessor's memories?

Seemingly sensing Chu Yang's doubt, Palos spoke in a deep voice:

"Let's talk somewhere else."

The two went to a room next door, which was very quiet.

Palos poured Chu Yang a beer and said with a hint of helplessness:

"I am a good friend of your father, and we are on good terms. It's just unfortunate that we have hardly ever met. The only time we met was when you were a child."

Only then did Chu Yang finally realize the truth.

He did have a vague memory of someone who claimed to be his father's good friend.

But even when their family encountered trouble later, this good friend never showed up.

"I know what happened to your family, but unfortunately I've been wandering around all these years, and I just got back when I heard that terrible news."

"If you had come back sooner, your father wouldn't have fallen into the trap set by others, and he wouldn't have died because of it."

"All I could do after that was stop those gangsters who had been harassing you for years."

"It was around that time that I learned what you look like now."

Palos immediately began to explain, seemingly very afraid that Chu Yang would misunderstand him.

Chu Yang suddenly realized the truth.

"No wonder my predecessor was in a slump lately, but no one came to cause trouble. It turns out someone was helping him in secret. Otherwise, those gangsters would have come long ago."

Chu Yang let out a long breath and solemnly thanked Palos in front of him.

"Thank you for your help behind the scenes, but please tell me, who framed my father?"

Chu Yang asked the question solemnly.

Regardless, he had to avenge this grudge.

Moreover, he has absolute confidence in his future development in this world.

Whoever is behind this, he will get his revenge sooner or later.

"That guy's name is Darok, but you don't need to thank me for what happened before. I was just repaying a favor to your father."

"Secondly, I simply thwarted their plan to cause you trouble."

"Besides, the loans your family owed have already been repaid by putting your old house up for auction."

Palos, however, had a point.

Chu Yang remained silent, showing no interest in his hometown or anything like that.

All he can think about right now is this Lordak.

He was originally trying to persuade Miss Hugh not to get involved in Lockdak's affairs.

But I never expected that my predecessor had some entanglement with this guy.

"It seems that no matter what, we have to help Miss Hugh deal with this Lordark properly this time."

"Of course, that extraordinary individual under Lordak's command, who is suspected of being a hidden one, must not be let go either."

Chu Yang pondered this inwardly.

Seeing Chu Yang's gloomy expression, Palos assumed the little guy was still grieving and couldn't help but ask further questions.

"Speaking of which, how did you know I was here, little one? And what did you want to see me about this time?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang's expression immediately turned extremely serious, and he promptly spoke:

"I'm here to find the extraordinary beings who gather in this area, yes, the kind of amazing extraordinary beings you've always known about. I hope you can tell me the correct location."

Palos's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Why are you looking for those guys? Are you an extraordinary being too?"

Chu Yang shook his head and said, "I am not an extraordinary person, but I accidentally got involved in an extraordinary case, so now I must take the initiative to embrace the extraordinary."

"But I must warn you, ordinary people who trespass into the extraordinary world could very well pay with their lives." Palos's expression suddenly turned serious as he warned:

"You must know how terrible this matter is from the experience you've gone through."

"Let me give you one last piece of advice: it's best not to try to provoke any extraordinary individuals. I don't want to personally collect your corpse."

Chu Yang nodded heavily, immediately indicating with a serious expression that he would absolutely not provoke them.

Besides, he only came to buy things this time.

"Mr. Palos, do you need me to pay you?"

Chu Yang took the initiative to speak.

Although we may not necessarily need this thing in the future.

But how could they not give something in return after receiving the delivery information?

After all, what's free is often the most expensive.

Sure enough, Palos nodded in satisfaction and said:

"The little guy from back then has grown up. The rules of my line of work really can't be broken."

"But since we're old acquaintances, just give me a token amount; I only need five pence."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang did not hesitate to take out five pence and place it in Palos's hand.

Then, Palos pulled out a wooden mask that he had prepared beforehand.

This mask could only cover the outline of Chu Yang's face.

However, it seems to have a magical effect, as it can help conceal one's true appearance.

Wearing a mask, Chu Yang followed Palos as they wandered deeper into the bar.

The two even passed through the kitchen and the cleaning cloth area, finally arriving at a dark alleyway, their destination a house without any lights.

Standing in front of the door, Palos took several deep breaths before finally gathering his mental composure and gently knocking on the door.

The knocking was very rhythmic, as if it were communicating with the person inside.

After knocking on the door and waiting quietly for more than ten seconds, a small round hole on the door was suddenly pulled open, and then an eye appeared to look out.

After a full half minute of looking, the door was slowly pulled open.

There was also a masked man standing inside.

"The party is about to start, you'd better get in your places quickly."

After saying this, the man turned and left without hesitation, completely ignoring Palos and the other man.

Chu Yang remained silent as Palos led him to the reception hall.

A very faint candle was placed on the floor in the very center of the reception hall.

In the dim candlelight, Chu Yang could tell that there were already many people in the room.

Everyone who comes here wears a peculiar mask.

Their identities can only be roughly identified by their body outline.

However, this could very well be the result of a misleading effect conveyed by the mask.

Most of the people around were sitting in their own seats.

The most eye-catching figure was an elderly man sitting on the single sofa in the very center.

"That guy must be the one known as the 'All-Seeing Eye,' right?"

The original storyline did not provide much information about the true identity of the All-Knowing Eye.

Therefore, even Chu Yang at this moment did not know this guy's real name or his usual range of activities.

Just as Chu Yang was lost in thought, the old man in front of him slowly spoke.

"No new friends are expected to arrive tonight; we never welcome latecomers here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone nearby suddenly spoke up:

"I want to buy a special small pocket dagger, a unique weapon that I can conceal in my sleeve." (End of Chapter)
