《The New Era Project》Chapter 51: Hey, do you remember me? My name is Yuka…
Advertisement
This inquiry had resulted in the turning of heads of three people. Wu Ya, Feng Ye, and Chu Feng all turn to look behind them. To Wu Ya and Feng Ye, they only see a well dressed girl with glasses. She seemed to be of Japanese descent. However, Feng Ye and Wu Ya had never seen her before.
Feng Ye thought to himself, “Stalker much?” This girl’s actions seem weirdly stalker like.
Chu Feng, however, was immediately able to recognize who this was. It was the bookworm girl he had helped earlier today. What an odd coincidence.
The girl smiles at Chu Feng and inquiries shyly, “Hey, do you remember me? My name is Yuka…”
“What a coincidence! Are you alright?” Chu Feng replies and follows up with an inquiry as he too feels it is odd to suddenly meet up her again so quickly. Definitely up to no good!
While replying, Chu Feng takes a look around Yuka who is in front of him to see if there are any peculiarities. His Yin Yang eyes didn’t seem to detect anything out of the norm. However, naturally, he is a beginner with this new found ability and it truly cannot amount to much in these initial stages. Thus, Chu Feng realizes that he needs to truly spend more time to uncover the mystery behind his ability.
“I’m alright..earlier this afternoon. Thanks..” Yuka replies.
“Yea, don’t worry about it.” Chu Feng waves nonchalantly with his hand.
At this time, Yuka takes out a mobile phone. Wu Ya, Feng Ye, and Chu Feng instantaneously realized that this was Chu Feng’s.
“You dropped this earlier today. Here you go..” Yuka hands over Chu Feng’s phone. Receiving it, Chu Feng felt that the phone’s back was a little bit wet...

Trying his best to resist the urge to check what is up with this moist, wet feeling on the back of his phone, Chu Feng gives his thanks.
“Thanks. Really appreciate it.” Chu Feng squeezes out a smiling face.
“Un..Don’t worry about it… Un.. I need to go. See you later!” Yuka replies. With a quick nod, Yuka excuses herself and walks away.
As Yuka’s form goes out of sight, Chu Feng flips his phone over. A wet layer had covered the back of his phone…
“Really disgusting.. Dafuq.” he exclaims.
Feng Ye nearby takes a look, “It looks like your phone had been slightly tampered with as you see here.” Feng Ye refers with his finger to the edge of the phone where one would usually open to replace the battery.
“Not too sure, as it was super chaotic, so also might have been damaged from the wild escape from the crazy.” Chu Feng replied after a brief hesitation.
“Regardless, you should probably go disinfect your phone and wash your hands..” Wu Ya also comments.
“Yea.. for sure. Do you think this is what I think it is?” Chu Feng inquiries Wu Ya.
Wu Ya knits her brows. “Most likely it is what you think it is. However, that is super strange, you don’t look that handsome.. Definitely not a lady killer appearance..”
Feng Ye smiles nearby. Chu Feng bitterly smiles.
“In any case, perhaps I have a stalker now…” Chu Feng shakes his head.
“Do I report it?” He asks Feng Ye.
“Probably not worth reporting right now, until can get more conclusive evidence.” Feng Ye replies while glancing over at Wu Ya.
Wu Ya nods indicating her agreement with Feng Ye.
“Anyways, let’s head over to this nearby convenience store. You can try to disinfect and maybe grab a plastic bag to wrap that phone for now.” Wu Ya suggests.

“Alright, let’s go.”
The group head to the nearby convenience store. Running to the washroom, Chu Feng immediately uses half the soap in the original full soap dispenser and washes his hands for a good 10 minutes. Before doing so, he had taken apart the back of his phone and began washing furiously. Luckily, his phone had a phone case, thus, all he had to do was take off the phone case and wash that.
He also went to buy some rubbing alcohol and disinfectant and was busy washing everything thoroughly.
Sighing, Chu Feng really laments on his bad luck. However, at least he was able to acquire his phone.
***
A few hundred metres away, Yuka who the group had just met shows a frantic expression. A smile creeps up on her face as though a plot had prevailed. She takes out her phone and opens a navigation application. On the screen, a map of the entire city is shown. On this map, a single red dot can be found in a corner of a convenience store.
Seeing this red dot move back and forth in the convenience store, Yuka giggles.
“Ah.. Chu Feng…” Yuka exclaims quietly with an excited expression.
***
After a good 20 minutes at the convenience store in which Chu Feng had thoroughly washed his assets, the trio continue to be on their way back to Aven Towers.
