Chapter 1075: Has There Been A Misunderstanding?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Martyrs needed respect and a burial. After the s.p.a.ce pathway closed, the first thing everyone had to do was to lay the deceased to rest.
Some said that there was nothing more major than life and death, but some people saw responsibility as more important than their own lives.
The funeral was not grand, but thousands of pract.i.tioners from the Heavenly Network sent them off.
The s.p.a.ce pathway was closed for now. The Black Feather Army had been eliminated as well. It was time for the Heavenly Network to rest and recuperate. Nie Ting asked Zhong Yutang to rotate everyone’s days off. They were not relaxing, but the people could not be constantly be alert. There had to be a balance.
War was very important, but the soldiers of the Heavenly Network were not machines. They could not continue being used after simply refueling them.
Nie Ting even allowed them to take turns drinking alcohol. This was an additional reward!
Everyone was reasonable. They knew that the s.p.a.ce pathway was opening more frequently. Thus, it was very important to adjust their condition as quickly as possible.
During this crucial time, Lu Shu had brought the Heavenly Network a pleasant surprise. This surprise was not simply their victory. He had brought back some resources as well.
Chen Zuan, Chen Baili, Li Yixiao, and Nalan Que had broken their foundations during battle in order to forcibly increase their strength.
They were not the exceptions. All the Pract.i.tioners who were above Cla.s.s D in the Heavenly Network had mastered the technique of forcibly increasing their strength. They had called this the glory bullet of the Pract.i.tioners. Their lives would be at risk.
Did they have to risk their lives during the war? Of course. Thus, Nie Ting did some calculations. At least 5000 had used this technique during the battle. It was sufficient to prove the intensity of the battle.
This was a huge hit to the Heavenly Network. This meant that over 5000 people were no longer able to train! Their strength would stay at their current stage for the rest of their lives, and might even drop!
What should they do? Nie Ting looked at Lu Shu…
Lu Shu’s heart ached, to the point that his hands started to tremble. 5000 refresher fruits. No one would buy 5000 oranges from a fruit stall…
But it was not time for this. When they had killed the Black Feather Army, most of the soldiers had provided him with 1000 distress points before they died. At first, Lu Shu felt that he had more than enough distress points. He might even be able to complete the fifth level of Nebula. Now, he had to spend these points.
How could Lu Shu refuse to save his comrades? When he was at the Tiger’s Back fortress, he had thought about it. After the war ended, he wanted to tell Nie Ting that he would help his comrades in the Heavenly Network who had destroyed their foundation, like Zhao Yongchen, restore it. But he was thrown into the Luniverse by Dream Chooser.
Things had finally settled down. Lu Shu could only grit his teeth and exchange his distress points for refresher fruit. He promised that he would earn back these distress points from his comrades one day…
The process of eating the refresher fruits was conducted in secret. In order to protect this secret, Nie Ting controlled the entire process. He gave out the fruits one by one. Everyone who ate the fruit had to sign an agreement that they would keep this a secret.
When his comrades at the fruits and were pleasantly surprised at the recovery of their foundation, for some reason, they had an unpleasant premonition. It was as if a frightening presence was staring at them. They did not know whether it was just them…
Lu Xiaoyu sat at the edge of the city wall and watched the sunset. Little Fury quietly accompanied her on her shoulder. Lu Xiaoyu suddenly said, “It’s great to be back, right?”
When Lu Xiaoyu learned that Lu Shu was willing to contribute over 5000 refresher fruits, she was rather surprised. This was not the Lu Shu of the past.
But when she thought about all the friends they would have in the future, it did not seem to bad.
The sun sinking in the horizon was rather warm. Lu Xiaoyu felt as if the dark corners in her heart had been lit up.
“But it’s not over.” Lu Xiaoyu suddenly said, “It’s fine. We will always accompany him, right?”
Little Fury nodded its head with force.
At the same time, Nie Ting and Lu Shu were in the fortress. Nie Ting looked at Lu Shu and said, “Thanks for your bronze armor. If not, the consequences would have been more severe.”
The magical armor had been overlooked by the people of the Luniverse, as wars had not occurred in the Luniverse for a very long time. However, when war broke out, people would understand that a reliable set of armor would save their lives!
This was the value of the magical armor. If they did not have the bronze armor, the Heavenly Network would have suffered heavier losses.
“Let me thank you on behalf of them,” said Nie Ting, “and on behalf of the Heavenly Network.”
Lu Shu laughed cheerily. “We are all on the same side.”
“But it is a pity.” s.h.i.+ Xuejin, who was beside them, said, “This time, over 4000 sets of bronze armor have been destroyed. A majority of them are broken beyond repair. This means that the future Flood of Bronze will only have 15 thousand people. Furthermore, we still have 50 thousand people in the Heavenly Network who can fight, but do not have any armor.”
Suddenly, Lu Shu suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up. “That’s right! I brought you some local specialties from the Luniverse!”
When Nie Ting and s.h.i.+ Xuejin heard this, they were dumbfounded. They were talking about serious affairs. Why did he talk about local specialties? Was it the time to eat… what?!
All the members of the Heavenly Network, Nie Ting, Li Yixiao, Nalan Que, s.h.i.+ Xuejin, Chen Zuan… everyone held their breath in shock. They almost turned this place into a vacuum…
Of course, this was an exaggeration, but Nie Ting and the rest was very shocked. They watched as Lu Shu took out sets after sets of magical armor from the Seal of Lands. It was as if he had an endless supply!
Even Nie Ting and s.h.i.+ Xuejin, who had seen the rest of the world, were dumbstruck. Were these the local specialties that Lu Shu was talking about? Did you understand the meaning of “local specialties”?
“From Nie Ting’s distress, +666!”
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”
“From…”
“Brother Shu, are these local specialties?” Chen Zuan was shocked.Lu Shu asked, “Can these be produced on Earth?”
“No…”
He took half an hour to take out all the armor. Nie Ting and the rest were numb. Lu Shu clapped his hands. “There are 36 thousand sets here that are just as good as the bronze armor. Although the color is different, I suggest that the Flood of Bronze should keep its name, as it represents honor.”
Nie Ting nodded his head. Lu Shu was right.
The name “Flood of Bronze” bore the weight of blood and honor. Now, Lu Shu had brought many local specialties from the Luniverse, giving the Flood of Bronze a new lease of life!
50 thousand soldiers in the Flood of Bronze? Chen Zuan’s eyes lit up. Suddenly, he was excited for the future!
