Chapter 338: Rookies & Veterans
Translator: Atla.s.studios Editor: Atla.s.studios
Although the fighters from the Heavenly Network certainly had ways to break through the door, it was a breach in their code of conduct to damage public property for such a small task.
If they were fighting against external organizations, there would be no doubt that they would use every means at their disposal. But now, their role were that of guardians.
In many foreign movies, the special agents would destroy public facilities without a care for the cost in their sports cars so as to fulfill their missions. Those kind of things were complete bulls.h.i.+t. If it had happened in reality, their cities would have been immediately flooded with public protests.
Furthermore, they were instructed to rob Lu Shu’s money and by right not to even hurt him.
In fact, they did not take their task very seriously. Five versus two and one of whom was even a rookie. Their chances of winning were 100%.
To veterans like them, candidates like Chen Zuan were complete newbies.
They knew, slight advantages in power were never enough to compensate for actual combat experience and confidence. Moreover, Chen Zuan, who had just ascended to Cla.s.s D, had no advantage in his power at all.
The mall consisted of three floors with great separation between every two levels. At that time, all the lights in the furniture mall had been turned off. Thus, the five men in black climbed up the stairs in complete darkness.
“There may be security guards on the top floor. If there is, one person stay behind to make an explanation. Do not hurt him!” the leader said.
“Rest a.s.sured, leader. We won’t hurt him. We know the limits!”
Under the current circ.u.mstance, even knocking the guard out was not a desirable solution. Be it by attacking the back of his head or his carotid artery, it was nonsense to claim that knowing their limits would result in no harm at all.
It would be just fine if they could show their identification doc.u.ments and be mindful of the consequences. But of course, it would be even better if they could sneak in without being seen. Their initial plan to enter from the main entrance was in the hope that they would go unnoticed as well.
The five ascended quickly. But suddenly, a knocking sound pierced through the silence of the night.
Everyone was stunned, “What is that sound?”
“Dong dong dong!”
Everybody turned to the source of the sound and saw Lu Shu knocking on a French window above them. He was looking down at them calmly.
Lu Shu was on the third floor while they were somewhere between the second and the third. All of a sudden, it became awkward.
Lu Shu breathed out a breath on the window, covering the gla.s.s in white vapor. Then, he wrote with his finger, “Red fis.h.i.+es.”
The group looked at one another in confusion. What did he mean?
Then, Lu Shu breathed out two consecutive breaths and wrote again, “Green fis.h.i.+es.”
“And donkeys.”
“From Hao Zhichao’s distress, +199…”
“From w.a.n.g Yuchi’s distress, +177…”
“From…”
“Is he saying we are donkeys?!”
“What the h.e.l.l? Does he wanna die?!”
“G.o.dd.a.m.n it! Isn’t he sleeping?”
“No… I cannot let him pa.s.s like this. I’ll beat him up!”
In fact, Lu Shu had written it separately mainly because the vapors dried up too fast in summer and he could not write that many words quickly enough.
But when he saw the distress points, he realized instantly, oh… expectedly it was you five!
A few minutes ago when he was just about to sleep, he received quite a lot of distress points when Hao Zhichao and the rest were stuck outside the furniture mall. At once, Lu Shu had a suspicion that something was up, which was further reinforced by the faint energy waves he felt afterwards. And now, they were standing right in front of him…
But Lu Shu was curious, why were they here? Judging from their Chinese names, it seemed unlikely that they were enemies from external superpower organizations who were here to attack Cla.s.s A apt.i.tude geniuses. Thus, Lu Shu decided at once that they were probably people sent from the Heavenly Network to cause them trouble.
Earlier, he had a feeling that the a.s.sessors were too easy on them. It would be too boring in the absence of challenges along the way. Although those geniuses were indeed spoiled, sooner or later they would come to realize the meaning of real life.
The five people sped towards the top floor. No matter how strong this Cla.s.s C strength type was, they were determined to teach him a lesson tonight.
How could a rookie make fun of the veterans?
As for Lu Shu, he never planned on going easy on them as well. Haha, what was wrong with the Heavenly Network? They certainly did not come with good intentions as they had entered so sneakily!
Lu Shu had carefully considered their motives. To beat them up? Unlikely. The five people clearly held the advantage with their numbers. So what was the point?
Therefore, their target was probably Lu Shu’s money, so as to increase the difficulty of their survival?!
My money? Till here, Lu Shu was already fuming with anger.
Immediately, Lu Shu woke Chen Zuan up, “Go! Someone’s here!”
Chen Zuan was still in his dreamland, “Huh? Who?”
“Nie Ting!” only this name could awaken the little fatty instantly.
Chen Zuan was fully awake at once. Princ.i.p.al Nie’s deterrence in the Capital Daoyuan Cla.s.s was definitely not a joke. As the Heavenly King, his role as the Princ.i.p.al was only thought to be nominal at first.
One day, Chen Zuan decided to skip a lesson, but he ended up standing in Nie Ting’s office as punishment and even his parents were called to the school.
What the… For ordinary teachers and princ.i.p.als, who dared to call Chen Zuan’s parents? Only Nie Ting could do that.
That was not all. As for where he had been and what he had done, Nie Ting was fully aware to each and every detail. Chen Zuan’s flesh crept, as though he had no secrets in front of Nie Ting.
As a result, he would recoil reflexively at the sound of Nie Ting’s name. Chen Zuan was very certain that Nie Ting did not like him.
“What is Heavenly King Nie doing here at night?” Chen Zuan was fl.u.s.tered.
Lu Shu mused, right, what should he be doing here… After two seconds, he said, “To beat you up?”
“Brother Shu, can you please tell me the truth?” Chen Zuan’s face darkened. He was not stupid. Why on Earth would the Heavenly King travel a long way to beat him up at night? Though scary, it was illogical upon second thought.
“Well, there are five people from the Heavenly Network here, maybe to rob our money so as to make it more difficult for us,” Lu Shu said frankly.
“Then what should we do now, Lu Shu?” Chen Zuan drew a cold breath. Although he never cared much about money, he now understood even a few hundred yuan could save their lives.
“Call the police?” Lu Shu was pondering.
“The police?” Chen Zuan was shocked. Was it really suitable to report that to the police? Tell them that there were a group of Pract.i.tioners planning to rob their two hundred yuan or so?
Lu Shu suddenly asked, “Do you think they brought their wallets with them?”
Chen Zuan hesitated, “Maybe!”
In the next second, unlimited fighting will erupted from Lu Shu.
