Chapter 982: Selection Ranking!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yi Qian said, “Boss, my money is your money. If you need anything, just tell me.”
“Ahem.” Lu Shu almost forgot what he had been saying. “Use it to place bets at the palace. I realized that many people have the means to carry out long-distance communication. What kind of magical item is that?”
Suddenly, Lu Shu said something completely irrelevant. “The commander of the Wei Wu Army should be at the palace. Go there and find him. Ask him whether he is willing to make a deal.”
Yi Qian was dumbfounded. He could not understand why Lu Shu had said so. But he did not continue with the conversation. Instead, he took out a mirror from his invisible storage equipment. Lu Shu suddenly realized that the mirror… looked like his Sun mirror!
Yi Qian smiled. “I still have another transmission mirror with me. I will give half of it to you to facilitate our communication.”
As Yi Qian spoke, Lu Shu saw him break the mirror into half! Yi Qian pa.s.sed one half to Lu Shu and kept the other half. He injected the mirror with Spirit Qi and the surface of the mirror started to s.h.i.+ne. Then, Yi Qian used his skills. Lu Shu saw Yi Qian’s shadow appear in the mirror in his hand.
“So that’s how it’s used.” Lu Shu nodded. “I have a magical item similar to this transmission mirror, but… its function is slightly different.”
Yi Qian was dumbfounded. “Oh? How is it different?”
Lu Shu took out the Sun mirror from the Seal of Lands and pointed it in one direction. His celestial powers entered the Sun mirror. Yi Qian saw a ray of light emitted from the Sun mirror. It was as bright as the sun. In the distance, someone in the darkness shouted. He covered his eyes and ran away…
Lu Shu acted as if he was panicking. “Who is there?!”
Yi Qian was speechless.
Lu Xiaoyu was silent.
“From Lin Lin’s distress, +666!”
Lu Shu went back to the bonfire. “See. This is its function.”
Yi Qian was slightly puzzled. “Boss, your mirror looks like half of the transmission mirror, but the problem is… I have never seen any transmission mirrors as bright as that…”
“This might not be a transmission mirror.” Lu Shu also felt that there was something wrong. In the past, he had pondered whether this had something to do with his celestial powers. Thus, this mirror was able to produce such a bright ray of light. But that did not make sense. Liang Che and Li Dian were almost blinded by this mirror, right?
Thus, this had nothing to do with Spirit Qi and celestial powers. The mirror itself was very troublesome…
Lu Shu carefully looked at the mirror. He suddenly asked, “I saw you use one of your skills on the transmission mirror. What was that?”
“Oh, that skill.” Yi Qian taught the skill to Lu Shu.
Lu Shu pointed at the Sun mirror and used the skill. Suddenly, a ripple appeared on the surface of the Sun mirror. But nothing appeared, as if there was no one on the other side. Lu Shu did not think too much about it and put the Sun mirror away.
He thought about it. Even if the Sun mirror was a kind of transmission mirror, it was from Earth. Even if it could be connected to another half of a mirror, he would only be able to communicate with someone on Earth. It was unlikely that the other half would appear in the Luniverse, right?
Thus, he felt that there was nothing in the Sun mirror because of the barrier between the two worlds.
Lu Shu curiously asked Yi Qian, “This transmission mirror is very interesting. Who invented it?”
Yi Qian was dumbfounded. “Don’t you know? The old King of G.o.ds invented it!”
Lu Shu had no energy to fight back. He thought that the old King of G.o.ds was a demon king. But why did it feel like this demon king never did anything decent? Did he go to Earth and discover a telephone? Was he unhappy that the Luniverse did not have anything like that and invented one himself?
“Boss, do we have to be more vigilant there?” Yi Qian looked in Sun Zhongyang’s direction. He felt that they had even resorted to eavesdropping. They definitely did not have good intentions.
“No need.” Lu Shu happily said, “We can still use them.”
Lin Lin had just started to listen in on their conversation when he was discovered by Lu Shu. For some reason, after he had advanced to Rank One, he felt that his senses had become more sensitive. It was as if he had given himself a talent.
Yi Qian left the trade caravan with a mission and flew to the palace.
Sun Zhongyang and the rest could fly, but the other eight could not. Thus, they could only follow the trade caravan. Furthermore, it would take some time before the Imperial College started lessons again. They were not in a rush.
Sun Zhongyang and the rest were curious. Where did Yi Qian go? On the other hand, Lin Lin finally stopped crying after two hours. The destructive power of the light to the eyes was frightening. Although Pract.i.tioners were strong, the eyes would be one of their weakest areas.
Lin Lin informed them of what Lu Shu had said. Sun Zhongyang said in a small voice, “I think that Le Yulu wants to make a deal with Lu Shu in order to obtain more rewards!”
“I think that he has a problem.” Mo Xiaoya laughed. To Mo Xiaoya, this Le Yulu fit the image that Lu Shu had wanted to create. He was greedy and sly!
“Could he have said that on purpose after discovering Lin Lin?” Sun Zhongyang asked curiously.
“But he has no reason to say so.” Mo Xiaoya and the rest did not know what Lu Shu was planning. To them, as someone from the rear mountain of the Sword Hut, what did the Sword Hut selections have to do with him? Thus, they did not think in this direction. If they knew that Lu Shu was planning to partic.i.p.ate in the Sword Hut selections, they would have understood what was going on when they had injured the experts mistakenly.
Thus, in the end, Mo Xiaoya felt that Lu Shu was trying to make deals with two parties!
Three days later, Yi Qian returned. He had a small booklet in his hands. He said to Lu Shu in a low tone, “This booklet was sold at the gambling dens in the palace. The information is accurate. They have taken the names of those who are partic.i.p.ating in the selections and compiled them into a list… you too are on that list.”
The names of those who were partic.i.p.ating in the Sword Hut selections were no secret. After Lu Shu had written a nomination letter for himself, he had to submit it to the North Region to verify the candidates from the Wei Wu Army and submit them to the palace.
Thus, the gambling dens in the palace were very resourceful. It was not a secret that Lu Shu was partic.i.p.ating in the Sword Hut selections.
Lu Shu took the booklet and laughed. “They even ranked everyone. Who is the first? Let’s get rid of him?”
Yi Qian hesitated and did not say anything. Lu Shu flipped to the first page and saw that… he was the first…
What in the world… what were the people in the gambling dens preparing for? Why did they rank him so highly?
But Lu Shu did not know that these rankings were not just decided by the gambling dens. They had to consider public sentiment as well!
No one knew that Lu Shu had advanced to Rank One. Thus, Lu Shu had surpa.s.sed eight Rank Ones and was ranked first as a Rank Two. It was very bizarre.
Lu Shu took another look. His odds were the lowest. It was not something that he could make use of.
Lu Shu was depressed. Were you serious? A Rank Two had the lowest odds?
But the people in the palace did not think the same way. They remembered the pain they had experienced in the past. They felt that no matter how strong the commander of the Wei Wu Army was, he would definitely make some mischief…
