Chapter 665: Suffered the Effects of Poverty
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The arrival of Li Yixiao and Nalan Que undoubtedly made Xia Rensheng and the rest feel a.s.sured. At first, they were envious that other organizations all had Cla.s.s B experts. On the other hand, they only had one peak Cla.s.s C, Xia Rensheng. This made them feel somewhat miserable. There were trembling in fear.
Now, not only had a Cla.s.s B arrived, two Cla.s.s B’s had arrived…
Later on, Lu Shu realized that Nalan Que had not accepted the amnesty from the Heavenly Network. Li Yixiao had been deployed here, while she requested to be sent over as well.
Nie Ting had planned well. He only had to pay one person’s share of wages and allowance for the work of two people. This was indeed value-for-money.
To be honest, Nie Ting had never thought that someone as casual as Li Yixiao had the potential to solicit a female expert…
When Xia Rensheng was preparing a room for Li Yixiao, he suddenly asked curiously, “Heavenly King Li, did Heavenly King Nie ask us to finish off the EO headquarters?”
When Li Yixiao heard this, he paused for a while. “Not really. He said to work with the EO as far as possible and avoid being surrounded by the other organizations. If we have no choice, we can replace them. I feel that we have no choice!”
“What…” Xia Rensheng was dumbfounded. “So you mean that…”
Xia Rensheng could understand Nie Ting’s tactics. After all, EO could act as a buffer to prevent the other organizations from directly attacking the Heavenly Network. There had not been an instance in the realm of cultivation where blood had not been spilled during a dispute over resources.
Before Xia Rensheng could say anything, Li Yixiao glanced at him. “Do you not trust my judgment?”
Xia Rensheng said in surprise, “Huh?!”
Did I say something wrong?!
Lu Shu was now too lazy to talk to people like Li Yixiao. After this, he would continue onwards to Europe. Thus, he could not be acquainted with Li Yixiao now. If he leaked any information, his trip would be filled with even more uncertainties.
But it seemed that he did not have to worry about the mineral resources EO had. With Li Yixiao and Nalan Que around, he did not care about what method they would eventually use. But with the organizations pulling out one by one, they could attain the mineral resources.
He silently returned to his room and sorted out his gains from this battle. First, he had obtained over a hundred magical metal weapons.
Lu Shu picked up one to have a closer look. It was made out of a similar material to the standard long sword. It resonated better with one’s vitality, but it was not that rare. This was a sign that the Cla.s.s B expert that Lu Shu had killed underwater was very poor. He also realized that the Cla.s.s B expert did not have invisible storage equipment.
In reality, this was the case. Invisible storage equipment was very rare, but its practicality and value was obvious.
Till today, not many remains had opened around the world, but there was still a considerable number of remains that had opened. There were some remains in remote areas that had opened even before the dawn of the magical era, but no one had discovered them yet. Not all remains would attract attention from Pract.i.tioners all around the world. Some had even secretly taken away the relics from these remains.
According to the information from the Heavenly Network, there were even a few remains that had opened during the dawn of the magically rich era. The creatures in these remains were not very strong. Some had even been defeated by modern weapons.
This way, the invisible storage equipment was released. There were also some magical weapons that had been left behind, for example Anthony’s ring.
There was also a s.p.a.ce in Lu Shu’s mask. To Lu Shu, the mask was much more practical than the invisible storage equipment.
Somehow, possession of the invisible storage equipment became the factor that determined whether experts of Cla.s.s B and above were rich or poor. To many people, it had even become an indicator of whether these experts were strong or not…
Lu Shu took out Howard’s s.p.a.ce ring. He opened it up and took a look. He was touched. Howard was so kind! He had left behind so many things!
There were a few hundred magical stones in the s.p.a.ce ring, as well as dozens of piles of cash. He had prepared this for any emergency.
The currency system could not collapse. In reality, the Pract.i.tioners did not want the order of the world to collapse as well. If it collapsed, it would mean chaos and the need to rebuild order.
To be honest, everyone already benefited from the current system. There was no need for change.
But Lu Shu did not care about all these things. What made him happy was the dozens of fruits in Howard’s s.p.a.ce ring!
Everyone knew that the awakening fruit was very important. Many tyc.o.o.ns from the old times bought these fruits for their successors. They hoped that they would be able to use resources to produce an expert that had the apt.i.tude to enter the realm of cultivation.
Although cash could not be used to buy these fruits, they had the advantage of heritage. They probably had some rare magical weapons in store.
Furthermore, the large Pract.i.tioner organizations were more than happy to engage in deals with the tyc.o.o.ns using these fruits.
Dozens of fruits! Lu Shu’s eyes lit up. How many magical weapons could he obtain with these fruits? It was not impossible for him to obtain mythical objects either!
Hm? Lu Shu suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why did he feel that some of the fruits looked familiar?!
He laid all the fruits out on the table. He realized that he could not feel any waves of energy from some of the fruits!
Lu Shu was puzzled. After some hesitation, he took a few photos and sent them to Zhong Yutang. “What are these fruits?”
Zhong Yutang was dumbfounded as well. “Aren’t these avocados? They are quite popular recently.”
Lu Shu was silent. He had suffered from the effects of poverty. These were ordinary fruits!
Needless to say, the other fruits with no waves of energy were just ordinary fruits. Lu Shu felt that some fruits looked familiar, but he did not think that they were ordinary fruits. He did not recognize some of the fruits.
Howard, why did you bring so many fruits around with you? Is your standard of living that high?
After sorting out the fruits, Howard only had six awakening fruits in his invisible storage equipment. No wonder when Bennett asked for ten awakening fruits, Howard did not rush to take up the offer. So he did not have that many on hand…
Lu Shu still had two blue fruits, as well as four silver fruits from the Lop Nur remains. He did not know what function these fruits served.
Suddenly, Lu Shu saw something strange in the s.p.a.ce ring, it was a tree branch.
The tree branch was not strange. The strange thing was, why did ordinary things appear in Howard’s s.p.a.ce ring? Did Howard like to carve wood? This was not a carving tool either.
When Lu Shu took out the tree branch out of curiosity, he suddenly realized that the tree branch was unnaturally hot. Lu Shu should have been burned by the branch, but the flame in his heart instantly suppressed this tree branch!
