Chapter 356: 356, Looting Spiritual Practice School_1
After gaining control of Moquli, Su Yu emerged from the depths of the house.
Looking at the gang leader prostrated on the ground, he asked calmly, “Moquli, how many people do you have under you?”
Moquli pondered for a moment before replying with his head lowered, “Master, I have a total of 232 people under me, 51 of whom are absolutely loyal to me.”
“And what about the abilities?”
“I am a second-tier Psychic Warrior. There are no other second-tier practitioners in the gang, but there are 33 first-tier practitioners.”
“33… that’s enough.” Su Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Then he asked, “What happened between you and the headmaster of the spiritual practice school?”
Without any attempt to conceal anything, Moquli began a long and earnest account, “Well, it goes like this, one night a month ago, I met Jenny, the headmaster’s wife, at the ‘Light Bar’…”
Su Yu listened patiently and realised that Moquli was telling a rather cliché story.
To sum it up: Moquli had an affair with the headmaster’s wife and was caught in the act two nights ago when the headmaster returned home early.
In the Raging Sun Empire, although adultery is punishable by law, for a gang leader like Moquli, he could just pay some bail money and be released, so it was virtually ineffective.
So, the headmaster decided to settle the matter privately, demanding Moquli to pay a compensation of six million Solar Yuan (the purchasing power of the Solar Yuan is approximately the same as that of the Flower Coins on Blue Star).
Moquli agreed to this demand under the headmaster’s pressure, but he genuinely did not have such amount of money.
Left with no choice, he had his gang members increase the collection of protection fees.
And so, the scene of his gang members robbing others in broad daylight came to be.
After hearing the entire story, Su Yu nodded, “So that’s what happened… However, that’s just convenient, I have a task for you.”
Su Yu began to whisper instructions into Moquli’s ear.
…
At 12 midnight, the entire Red Forest town was silent.
Skru Star did not have a satellite as large as the moon orbiting it, so the nights were only dimly lit by the faint starlight.
Such faint starlight was insufficient to illuminate the streets, leaving the streets of Red Forest town in darkness.
However, in this dark environment, more than two hundred gang members gathered in a back alley behind the spiritual practice school.
Every gang member held a flashlight in their hand, lighting up the alley as if it were daytime.
“Boss, are we really going to attack the spiritual practice school?” A nervous gang member asked Moquli, who was leading the group.
The spiritual practice school is the main driving force of Red Leaf Town and is the private property of the mayor. In normal times, they would dare not stir trouble rashly.
“It’s alright, trust me! They won’t know who we are”, reassured Moquli as he patted the shoulder of the gang member who had asked the question.
Then, he pulled out a dozen potions from his bag and handed them over to the gang member, “Hand these out, and let everyone drink them.”
“Alright, boss.”
Moquli has always held a high reputation within the gang, and the members never doubted him.
Seeing the potions handed out by the boss, they drank them without hesitation.
In each bottle of these potions, a strand of Su Yu’s magical power had been mixed in, and when drunk…
“Drink!”
“Ha!”
The gang members’ muscles swelled, their bodies enlarging and eyes turning blood-red, feeling as though their bodies were filled with boundless power!
“Boss, what kind of potion is this?” The underlings turned to look at Moquli.
“Don’t ask, let’s go! Our mission today is to plunder the spiritual practice school, everyone, charge with me!”
With that, Moquli put on a black hood and was the first to rush towards the school gate.
“Charge, charge, charge!”
The frenetic energy from the potion overcame the underlings’ ability to think independently, and they charged towards the school gate following Moquli.
…
The full name of “Spiritual Practice School” is the “Spiritual Energy Cultivation School”, which is dedicated to cultivating talents in spiritual energy cultivation.
There are four professional careers involving spiritual energy cultivation in Sitr Star, namely, the Psychic Warrior, Spiritual Master, Spiritual Mecha Master, and the Spiritual Mind Power Master.
A “Psychic Warrior” is, as the name suggests, a professional career that uses spiritual energy for physical attacks. This career consumes the least resources and has the largest number of practitioners in Skru Star;
“Spiritual Masters” can use their spiritual energy to communicate with the infinite spiritual energy in the air for large-scale attacks, making them the equivalent of mages in Skru Star;
Spiritual Mecha Masters use spiritual energy to control alloy mechas in battles. Their combat power is exceptional among peers of the same tier, even capable of challenging those of higher tiers. However, the downside is that alloy mechas are too expensive for ordinary people to afford;
“Spiritual Mind Power Masters” are professionals specializing in mental control and psychic attacks. They are somewhat similar to the [Shadow Priest] career in “Evolution”. However, Spiritual Mind Power Masters are extremely rare, with only one in a hundred thousand practitioners having the talent.
In addition to the four main careers, the Spiritual Energy School also offers many side careers like potion-making, formation, forging, etc.
The “Spiritual Practice School” bears the responsibility of cultivating professionals, and naturally, the school’s warehouse stores a lot of valuable resources.
Moreover, the “Red Forest Spiritual Practice School” is the private property of the mayor. The school levies exorbitant fees from the townspeople. The headmasters and board members are incredibly wealthy.
So after learning about Moquli’s grudge with the headmaster, Su Yu decided to devise a plan – to rob this school!
…
Moquli and his gang rushed towards the school gate noisily, immediately attracting the attention of the school’s security guards.
“Lin ke, what are these people planning to do?” In the security room, a guard wearing a red uniform asked another guard in a similar uniform.
“I don’t know, let’s go check it out.” The guard picked up the black steel electric pistol on the table and left the security room.
But as soon as he exited the security room, he was immediately startled.
Due to the effect of the potion, Moquli and his crew now appeared daunting and ferocious, like a group of wild beasts.
The guard immediately raised his pistol, “What are you guys up to? Don’t come any closer!”
“Out of my way!” Moquli quickly approached the guard and roughly shoved him away, making the guard involuntarily airborne.
The other underlings immediately followed suit, easily overpowering the two other guards in the security room.
These three security guards barely had any fighting ability as they had undergone no form of cultivation and were actually quite taken aback.
In recent years, although thefts from spiritual practice schools have been happening domestically, blatant robberies like this were very rare throughout the entire country! These guys were audacious!
After tying up the guards to chairs, Moquli addressed his crew:
“Xike, Charles, the two of you will take fifty guys to the learning district, the rest follow me to the school’s warehouse.”
“Once we’re done robbing, everyone gather back here. I’ll then lead you to rob the homes of the headmaster and the board members! But remember, no killing!”
“Alright, boss!” The underlings responded enthusiastically, their eyes suffused with a wild and fanatic gleam.
Then, these over two hundred gangsters rushed in and began to rob the massive spiritual practice school.
