The next two days were still calm and tranquil.
Other than unlocking the second sword skill [Will-O '-the-wisp], Lin Lichuan didn't spend any more points. Instead, he saved them up and decided to look at the situation before deciding whether to upgrade his [Reiatsu] or something else.
"It would be great if I could find the guy who killed my predecessor. After killing him, everything would be settled once and for all."
The bell signaling the end of school woke Lin Lichuan up from his thoughts. After the teacher announced the end of class, the classroom suddenly became lively. Jiang Han had already picked up her backpack and was ready to leave the classroom.
Seeing this, Lin Lichuan immediately called out the surveillance screen.
In the past few days, other than when they were together in class, whenever Jiang Han left his field of vision, he would immediately turn on the surveillance screen to ensure that he didn't miss any information about the Black Spider.
Unfortunately, he still didn't find anything.
"I'll observe for a few more days. If there's still nothing, I'll have to personally investigate the Black Spider."
Sighing in his heart, Lin Lichuan picked up his backpack and left the classroom. After leaving the school gate, he didn't go back to his neighborhood as usual. Instead, he went in the opposite direction.
Today was the first day of the month. According to tradition, his aunt would send him some living expenses.
In this world, smartphones hadn't appeared yet. E-commerce wasn't as common as it was in his previous world. Therefore, he had to personally withdraw the money from the bank.
Following the route in his memory, it didn't take long for Lin Lichuan to arrive at the bank. After withdrawing the money with ease, he left the bank and walked towards the food street nearby, preparing to treat himself to some food.
He was the only one at home, so he naturally had to eat by himself. Whether it was in this world or his previous one, Lin Lichuan's cooking skills weren't that good. Usually, he would just make up for it by simply cooking at home. Now that he received some living expenses, he obviously had to eat a good meal to make up for it.
After walking around the streets for a while, Lin Lichuan decided on a Western restaurant that had just opened not long ago. It was a restaurant that was having a promotion.
"When I'm done with the things at hand, I'll go work to earn some extra money. Otherwise, the living expenses that aunt gives me won't be enough."
Lin Lichuan's aunt wasn't stingy, nor was she harsh on him. It was just that she believed that giving a high school student too much money would likely cause him to develop the habit of being extravagant. Therefore, she had always been very strict in terms of living expenses. The money she gave every month was just enough for him to live and study, but he didn't need to think about eating and playing well.
Therefore, if Lin Lichuan wanted to improve his life, he could only rely on himself to work.
As for using his extraordinary powers to earn money, he did not have such thoughts for the time being. His current strength was not strong enough, so it was better to continue developing slowly just in case. Who knew how many dangerous extraordinary experts were hidden in this world?
What if he attracted the attention of some expert?
On the other hand, as long as he continued to die, pui, cultivate diligently, he believed that one day, he would become the strongest person in this world.
When that time came, he would be able to do whatever he wanted!
Lin Lichuan chose a table near the street in the restaurant. Once all the dishes were served, he began to eat heartily. He finished all the main dishes in one go. Then, he leisurely enjoyed the desserts after the meal while looking at the people on the street through the glass wall.
In the end, he couldn't help but freeze when he looked.
On the opposite sidewalk, a man wearing a long black trench coat slowly walked past. His silhouette quickly overlapped with a figure in the depths of his memory.
It was the tattooed man who had killed his predecessor!
Lin Lichuan stood up without hesitation and quickly paid the bill. Then, he quickly rushed out of the restaurant and crossed the street to the opposite sidewalk.
At that moment, the figure had not gone far. In order to avoid being noticed, Lin Lichuan immediately slowed down his footsteps. He didn't get too close, but stayed about ten meters behind, pretending to be taking a stroll as he followed far behind.
As he walked forward, he quickly thought of a plan.
Although he subconsciously followed, Lin Lichuan had not decided how to deal with the tattooed man.
In his memory, the tattooed man instantly crossed a distance of seven to eight meters and easily destroyed his predecessor's heart with a punch. Lin Lichuan knew that he wasn't completely confident that he could kill the tattooed man.
With his current strength, even if he didn't use Kendo and One Bone, he was still able to contend with an opponent of Pang Yong's level. If he used One Bone, he could even kill a martial artist instantly.
And because of the existence of E Cut and Will-O '-the-wisp, his Kendo was even stronger than Bai Da's. Dealing with a martial artist was a piece of cake.
However, the tattooed man's strength was clearly far superior to Pang Yong's. He should be the so-called expert who had stepped into the Transcendence Realm that Jiang Han and her brother had mentioned. He might even be stronger.
In the end, Lin Lichuan's understanding of the Transcendence Realm was still too shallow. He didn't know how powerful an expert who had stepped into the Transcendence Realm was. Naturally, he couldn't estimate the tattooed man's strength.
'Should I go?' Lin Lichuan hesitated.
Logically speaking, without knowing the enemy's exact strength, he shouldn't act rashly. However, if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would meet the tattooed man again. It didn't feel good to have such a ticking time bomb hidden in the dark. He had to worry about it all the time.
Frowning and thinking for a moment, Lin Lichuan glanced at his personal interface. He saw that his Strengthening Points had increased to 98 points. In another half an hour or so, he would meet the requirement to increase his Strengthening Points again. He gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind to continue following the tattooed man.
The tattooed man seemed to be taking a stroll. He walked and stopped along the way. He even sat beside the fountain in the middle of the square for a while. It seemed like he didn't have a clear destination.
It wasn't until nightfall when the sky turned dark that he stopped his casual stroll and walked straight in a certain direction.
Lin Lichuan glanced at his Strengthening Points, which had increased to 100 points. He made up his mind and quickened his pace to follow the tattooed man.
Unknowingly, the two of them went from the crowded street to a secluded and dark path. The people around them gradually thinned out until there wasn't even a shadow of a person.
Lin Lichuan slowly stopped. At this point, how could he not understand that the tattooed man had already discovered that he was following him?
Sure enough, as he stopped, the tattooed man also stopped. He turned around and looked at him with a sneer on his face.
"At first, I thought it was just my imagination. I didn't think that there really was someone following me. Moreover, it was a brat who still smelled of his mother's milk."
Lin Lichuan heard this and understood. No wonder the tattooed man was walking and stopping along the way. He even sat beside the fountain to rest. It turned out that he was checking to see if there was anyone following him.
However, he didn't expect to be able to sneak up on the tattooed man. He only wanted to wait for a secluded place to make his move. Now that he was discovered, it didn't matter.
"You're one of the Black Spider's men?"
"Black Spider?"
The tattooed man sneered. His voice was full of disdain, "You couldn't have mistaken me for one of the Black Spider's men, so you followed me, right?"
As he spoke, he took his hand out of his pocket, revealing the black spider tattoo on the back of his hand.
Lin Lichuan was slightly stunned. He was a little surprised. Not only was the tattooed man not one of the Black Spider's men, but it also seemed like he didn't remember him.
Could it be that this guy didn't remember the face of the person he killed that day?
Lin Lichuan's heart was filled with mixed feelings. It turned out that he had worried for nothing for the past few days.
Sighing, he raised his head and waved at the tattooed man.
"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else. I'll leave now."
