Chapter 149 The KCB Trouble-Making Trio

Another overcast day.

Just waking up with slightly messy hair, Yue Longze looked out the window at the gloomy sky and couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort.

Compared to a bright, sunny day, Yue Longze preferred an overcast day without the dazzling sunlight—a quiet, gloomy day.

"Sigh."

Yue Longze pulled open the window, leaning lazily against the windowsill, letting the cool morning breeze caress his resolute face.

"What a fine day, refreshing and tranquil."

Such an overcast day put Yue Longze in a pleasant mood.

...

"Boss, what are our plans for today?!"

The blond man's loud voice pulled Yue Longze back from his pleasant mood.

These three idiots...

Yue Longze let out a helpless sigh, then closed the window, turned around, and shouted in response, "I've already figured out today's arrangements!"

Wearing a pair of flip-flops, Yue Longze walked out of the room lazily, scanning the three hair-dyed guys who were watching television news with a stern gaze that utterly clashed with his casual attire.

"Today's plan is going to be a bit special. Are you ready to face any difficulties?"

"We're not afraid of any difficulties!"

The three guys answered in unison and with booming voices, their three shiny bald heads actually appearing somewhat extraordinary at this moment.

"Very good. To further improve your moral cultivation, you must not fear any difficulties! Otherwise! It is impossible for you to become promising young men like me!"

Yue Longze put his hands behind his back, looking quite the leader at the moment.

"I said last time, as long as your moral character truly satisfies me, I will teach you some of my martial arts! By then, whether it's for self-defense or showing off, it'll be extremely cool! But remember, never use it to bully others!"

Yue Longze continued to lure the three guys with promises, as this was the only way to rouse their enthusiasm.

"Boss is mighty!"

"Boss is wise!"

The three guys truly envied Yue Longze's martial arts and desperately wanted to learn.

...

Thus, the three guys followed Yue Longze out the door, tailing him eagerly.

...

"Come, please come over here to receive your relief meal."

"Hold it steady, please!"

At this moment, in the heavily affected area ravaged by Gobu, the three guys were serving as volunteers.

The green-haired one was assisting the government-dispatched relief personnel in distributing food.

The red-haired and blond-haired ones were responsible for helping pitch temporary tents, since houses had been damaged and some people were now homeless.

As for Yue Longze, he did not participate in any of the physical work.

For one thing, Yue Longze simply didn't want to take part.

For another, Yue Longze's left arm was still heavily plastered, so even if he were willing to volunteer, others probably wouldn't agree.

Yue Longze gave the three guys a few instructions, telling them not to stir up any trouble, and then went off to stroll around at his leisure.

...

Downtown Tokyo was still lively and bustling. The crowds seemed completely unaffected by the massive disaster of the previous day, going about their work on time and living their fast-paced lives as usual.

"It's all for the sake of making a living..."

Yue Longze touched his nose and sighed inwardly. No matter how huge a disaster might be, it could never stop people's drive to survive, nor could it alter the lifestyle they had long been accustomed to.

...

Yue Longze continued to wander aimlessly, casting casual glances around.

Soon, a graceful, slender figure in the distance caught his attention.

Of course, what attracted Yue Longze was not the girl's beauty, but the fact that she was a reporter holding a microphone and doing a live broadcast, while standing before her was a man in deep blue work clothes carrying a camera.

"A TV live broadcast?"

Encountering a television live broadcast for the first time, Yue Longze found it rather curious.

Finding a spot, he sat right down on the ground and quietly watched the girl conduct the broadcast.

Yet the more Yue Longze watched, the more familiar she seemed. Had he seen this girl somewhere before?

His brain operated at high speed, searching his memory.

"She seems to be..."

Yue Longze finally remembered the girl's identity with a start.

She seemed to be that female reporter from KCB Television who was close to Hiroya Fujimiya... Reiko, was it called?

Though he had forgotten most of the plot, if he tried hard enough, he could still vaguely recall some special characters.

"I remember they should be a three-person reporting team, right? And right here, there's only this girl named Reiko and another person in charge of filming."

Yue Longze muttered to himself.

At that moment, a white van parked nearby quickly discharged a man wearing the same work clothes as the cameraman, with his press badge hanging on his chest.

"Well, it looks like it really is them. Three reporters who seem quite good at making trouble!"

Even though he didn't remember much of the plot, Yue Longze still retained impressions of certain characters.

...

Meanwhile, the young man carrying the camera frowned, shifted the camera off his shoulder, and stopped recording.

Reiko, acting as the anchor, was bewildered by his action.

"What's wrong, Renwen!"

The man who had hurried down from the white van—Tabata Kenji—asked anxiously.

"What on earth are you doing?!"

Tabata, acting as the director, was slightly irritated. They were in the middle of a live television broadcast; how could he just stop like that?

"It's not my fault, Mr. Tabata!"

Pouting, Renwen handed the heavy camera to the hurried Tabata and continued, "Look at this! There's such strong interference!"

Tabata raised an eyebrow, took the heavy camera from Renwen's hands in disbelief, and looked directly at the screen. Sure enough, the scene on the camera display was extremely blurry, and even flashing white static snow was present.

"How could this happen?"

As Tabata spoke, he handed the camera back to Renwen, who was in charge of filming, his previously smooth brow furrowing tightly.

"I don't know, it was fine just a moment ago!"

Renwen muttered, completely baffled.

...

"Why'd they stop the live broadcast..."

Yue Longze raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat aggrieved.

He had actually wanted to see how a television station conducted a live broadcast...

...

"Boom... Boom..."

The very instant Yue Longze complained, the ground around him began to tremble, and the frequency of the tremors grew increasingly intense.

"Rip!"

The earth began to split open, the surrounding buildings collapsed in an instant, and the cars and bicycles parked along the road instantly sank into the ground.

"Is it an earthquake, or is there a monster?"

Yue Longze forcefully steadied his footing, turning his head repeatedly to observe the surrounding situation.

He saw that on the road a few dozen meters ahead of him, a circular crater had been shaken open. From the deep, dark abyss, a burst of intense white light erupted, and a ferocious crawling giant beast on all fours violently surged up from the underground cave!
